Of these sensitive critics to hear il asserted
thai when the shirtsen colonies declared

LATE WAR NEWS.


We have often cautioned onr readers
against giving much belief 10 anything
which comes from Cairo II is The most
VIGOROUSLY unreliable of all The Western
news centres. To-day We have the an
nouncement from that point that General
Sherman's expedition reached Meridian ten
days after leaving vicksburg. As ii took
seven days for him TO march forty miles,
from Vicksburg to Jackson, we scarcely
think that he can go eighty miles from
Jackson 10 Meridian in three days The
Cairo telsgrapher should be liule more
Gen. Sherman was al jackson. Afierwsr rd
he was heard Of al Brandon, ten miles on
the road to Meridian, and then he enemy
interposing between his rear and Vcksburg
cut off all communication and consequently
all news. He may be al Meridian, but we
scarcely believe il yet.
From Louisiana We learn that on Feb 7h
the Confederaies under General Taylor
attacked lne Federal camp al Vidalia on
on the Mississippi opposite Naichez. Their
.orce numbered thee thousand. They were
rspulsed with loss and compelled to retreat
Nothing else OF importance has occurred in
that section.
From the army of the Potomac it is re-
ported that on Thursday last a cavalry
reconnaissance towards Aldie captured
twenty>e light guerrillss and fifty horses.
General Meade has again been summoned
TO Washington; the object is reported being
to divide his army into three grand divis-
ions under Generals Sedgwick, Hancock,
and Cough.
The result Of ths expedition to Jackson
| vile, Florida, as telegraphed 10 Washing
ton by Ger. Gilmore is the capture of one
hundred prisoners and eight cannon. A
Reconnaissance lately made from The Fed
eraI camp at Folly Island, Charleston, cap
tured four field pieces with their caissons,
smmunition and gunners Five negroes
of the expedition were killed
lis reported iha, by recen, Federal
raid into Wayne couniy, Western Virginia,
sixteen hundred Federal prisoners were
released and sixty Confederaiss captured
Twenty Two Confederales were captured in
Webster county.
From reports OF deserters and refugee
coming into. General Kelly's lines, it is evi
dent tha. The rebels are making extensive
preparations plong the line of the Virginia
and Tennessee Railroad, either apprehen-
ding an advance from Us, or preparing for
on offansive rnovement themsetvea Gner
riIIas are active in the Kanawha region.
From the activity displayed by the for
ces of General Lee, il is anticipated by
army officers from the front that the ensu-
ing campaign will be opened By raid or
gigantic scale through Pennsylvania.
1t is now stated that there will be no
change in The command Of the Army OF the
Potomac. General Meade is again at hic
! headquarters, ir improved health.

TIE AMY or THE PoToMAc Gen. Meade
made short speech, at the recent ovation
given him in Philadelphia, in which be
spoke in high terms of ihs discipline and
valor of the Army ofihe Potomac, and as
an evidence OF the hardships il had en-
couniered and the service it had done,
pointed 10 the fact that, since the COM
mencement of hostilities, it had lost one
hundred thousand men. We ventcre to say
that no other army has lost as many and
yet, owing 10 the Interference OF Lincoln
and his War Secretary, The fruits which
should have been the reward of so much
blood are ye, TO be gathered.

In Berwick, Feb I2, 1864, Eva EuGsNlA
daughter OF ]. S. and Maggie P Sanders,
aged years, 10 months and 7 days.
Our dear little EvA's illness was OF short
duration, and her death sudden and mex.
pecied. Her sfecliouaie nature and lively
spirits endeared b ef TO her bereaved parents
and all with whom she come in contact
But she is gone The voice that was once
sweet music o our ears, the eye that once
sparkled With delight, the face that once
flushed and become radiant with Joy, every
chord OF that infant heart that once Vibrated
with inexpressbIe pleasure has become ST.
lent, cold and dull a. the grave But We
mourn her departure not as those without
hope. For my beloved has gone down
into his garden to gather lilIies."
Our sweet flower has dropped and faded,
Our sweet infant voice has fed
Her fair brow the grave has shaded,
Our lovely Eva now is dead.
But We feel no thought of sadness,
For our child is happy now
She now kneels in heartfelt gladness,
Where the blessed angels bow.
She kas gone 10 heaven before US,
But she inrns and waves her hand !;
Pointing 10 the glories DER Us,
In that happy spirit land.
