How MAR SOLDIER CAME TO NBEIsc
SuoT.-By private letter from pason PIERCE
of the 9th Vermont Infantry, with Grant,S
his brother, DR.. S. n, Pierce, Of this pacc.
we have the following thrilling episode in a
soldiers life .
Pierce went on picket duty and was sur
prised by party Of rebels who came within
four rods Of him and ordered him to halt
and throw down his arms. lie could noh
See the point" as he says, and started forl
our lines. He soon csme up WITH SQUAD
Of our pickets who were giving hRtfheir
arms. He told them to follow him, where
upen they sorabbed up their guns and
started. The rcbs poured vollcy after
them. One bullet spoiled Pierce's cap, ono
went through his pants and bootleg, one
took bis haversack off one went through his
portfolio, spelling his letter paper, and two
went through his blanket and shirt, he not
receiving scratch.

This somewhat liberal policy has beer
suggested from the fact of having observed
the mistaken policy of a company holding
water power on Rock River, Illinois, and th'
best in the State. 1t was, for several years
almost wholly unimproved, in consequence
of the high price pu, upon their privilege.
Capitalists and manufacturers directed
their attcntion to other points, until now
company was organized, who improved tbs
power, built large machine shops, which
they leased and sold at such rates as induced
occupation, and now that same water power
is the best and most extensively improved o.
any in the whole North West. The comps
ny has been made rien and the town and
country around have been built up withou:
a parallel within the last twelve years.
1t is q matter of which there is much rea.
son for congratulsticn that we are soon to
have wooden factory built and in operation
at this place. Economy and comfort require
that the West should manufacture their own
domestic wooden goods at least, and il we
have the factories the farmers will produce
the wool and furnish material and employ
ment for the operatives.
Another important branch Of msnulactur-
ing that should Immediately be encouraged
here, is the manufacturing of agricultural
implemcnts--reapers, threshers, plows, cul,
tivators, wagons, &c. all Of which will be
in great and increasing demand as the extern
sive praries are put under cultivation. Also
a custom Touring mill added 10 our present
first class merchant mills would be Of great
utility, and a most welcome improvement. for
the benefit OF this community. -
The merchant mills might demur at this
proposition. thinking it would materially
affect their interests by providing means
whereby the farmer might be little more
independent of their -four bins and stores OF
feed Such a mill would be of essential
benefit TO the farmers and community in
general, that they might have the benefit OF
bran aud shorts for feed, also tho grinding
other coarse grains into feed which is the
most profitable and economical way of pre-
pairing feed. Although this might not be so
profitable ala arrangement to the merchant
miller, yet as belor. said, whatever is for the
general good Of community is more or less
beneficial TO all individuals OF the commu-
nifty, and no individual should desire to build
up himself at the expense Of community.
II all these leading classes Of manufactures
were encouraged to build and operate at our
water power, a most rapid progress of i'm
provement would follow, and the sound of
saw ard hammer, anvil and loom, would
make music in our streets. So.

their part s--perfermcd in the recent great
raid OF Sherman, which has just been bro't
to a successful issue, TO the entire satisfaction
of all engaged, and, trust, to the satistac-
ton of those at home-eyen croakers; and

their best to pu; down this wicked rebellion

me to be the hardest blow the rebels ever
got, and will just make an assertion that
60 moro such raids will sweep them clear
from the earth.

THE WAR NEWS.

At last accounts Hood had not succeeded
in escaping With his routed army. His at
tempt to cross the Tennessee on pontoons
was frustrated by our gunboats, which came
up just in the nick Of time. Gen. Thomas
was on his rear, pressing him closely, and
another force under General Steedman, was
also threatening him. His escape with any
thing like an organized force seemed impos
sble.
Another important expedition is pro.
crossing in southern Mississippi and Ala.
bama, under General Gordon Granger, the
supposed object being to attack and capture
Mobile. A force of rebel militia has been
met and routed.
a recent expedition from Morcanza into
the heart Of Louisiana has been sgually sue.
cessful. Several guerrilla camps were de.
stroyed, and stores of great value captured,
The news from Sherman is highly sat.
isfactory. Fitzpatrick recently made high
ly successful raid in northcrly direction
from Savannah, and efforts are being made
TO intercept Hardee. Everything goes well
except for rebels. ..
The expedition against Wilmington was
failure, it having accomplished nothing OF
importance. 1t appears thut Admiral Potter
was too hastv. lie attacked Fort Fisher
without awaiting the arrival Of the land for.
ces which were TO co operate with the fleet
for its reduction. When the troops arrived
it was found that the fort was uninjured as a
defensive work by the fire Of the navy, and
that the place could not be carried by as
sault, and as nothing hut a regular siege
would reduce it, and the weather was assum.
ing an unfavorable aspect, General Butler
withdrew the troops, and sent them back to
Fortress Monroe. In due tune wo will prcb-
ably hear of Sherman, or some other leader,
being in the rear Of Wilmington, when tho
place will have TO succumb, even as did Sa,
vannah. .. ...
Nothing OF particular inercs. is chron-
icled from Grants army. The rebels have
been demonstrating IN irent ot the 9Th corps
lately, supposed to be for the purpose Of
concealing the withdrawal Of troops to be
sent against Sheridan, or to aid in the dc.
Tense Of Wilmington or Charleston.
Tho Richmond press are in great tribu.
laton over their rsyerses, and advocate the
appointment of Lee as Commander. in Chief
of all the rebel armies, or as Military Die,
tator Of tho Confederacy. This is a direct
shot at JEFF Davis, who is evidently becon.
ing very unpopular The inhabitants Of the
city arc dissatisfied and gloomy. Dcclara-
z tons are openly made in the strectsFthat the
rebel cause is hopeless, and politicians visit
the army to encourage the soldiers.

CEDAIs FALLS WAFER POWER.

CEDAIs FALLS WATER POWER.
! MEssEs. EDlroBs Very much may be
said of the Importance Of good water pow
cr, to"ards building up and maintaining the
business Of a town or city. Trade ard com
inerce have their influence, in an important
degree, but the advantage of good water
power to an inland town, locat ed in an sgri
cultural district, cannot be easily over esti
mated
/ The water power of Cedar Falls, believe
is admitted by those who are posted upon
such matters, to be the best. or, at least, sec
ond TO none other in the State and the
country adjacent, for many miles, is noted
for the fertility Of its soil, and abundant
agricultural products. These great natural
surrounding resources, snd he fast coming
railroad connections with the lumber, coal,
and iron regions, give great promise to cur
excellent water power.
The success aud beneficial Development OF
! this power, for the interes; Of the company
holding it, and the community in general,
depends much upon the policy of improving
and using it. The writer, having no interest
directly in this water power, other than that
Of a common citizen, would take the prvi-
! lege to express few thoughts in regard to
| what seems to be a mutual benefit.
| There is no individual, company CT corpo-
ration, tina! engages in any enterprise but
what arc moro or less dependent on commu-
nifty as part or as a whole, and should
accordingly adopt policy that would ad-
vance the general good as well as their own.
No! presuming to take any exceptions to
the policy Of the present water power com.
pany here, bot on the contrary believe they
are worthy of much credit fer the extensive
improvements which they have already con
summsted. The time is fast approaching
and in fact is already at hand. when the
rapid settlement Of our country will call for
additional and still! IN ore extensive improve.
mcnts Of this power. AT this juncture,
more than a: any other perhaps, will policy
Of proper discretion be essential toward in
ducing additional improvements. A few
lnGre important factories and machine shops
secured here would Immediately settle the
question in the minds of the most despond-
ing, that Cedar Falls is destined to be the
greatest manufacturing town in the State.
Ii there should be disposition on the
part OF The Company TO Offer their water
privilege at seemingly high prices, manafac,

ses, but if few leading manufacturers can
