around that whoever attempted to fill
their places on the job, might expect to
lot of men and put them to work Mon

of strikers, armed with rifles and pis-
tolls, assailed the workmen, who were
also well armed. The battle lasted
several minutes. Five men are reported

A row occurred last Friday at the

THE CONFEDERATE RAM ARKANSAS.

Admiral Farragut had heard rumors that
the Confederates were building an iron clad
ram at Yazoo City, little distance up the
Yazoo river. He did not, however, believe
that a very formidable naval vessel could be
built in the swamps Of Mississippi, so paid
little attention to the rumor. Coal was
scarce, and the Union gunboats, in order to
savo fuel, had even let their fires go down,
when on the morning of July 10, 1862, word
was brought that the Confederate ram
Arkansas was coming down the Yazoo.
The Union gunboats Carondelet and Tay-
Tor. with the steam ram, Queen OF the West,
were sent up the Yazoo to reconnoiter. Six
miles up the stream they met the Arkansas
steaming down to meet them. She was COM
manded by an ex-United States naval OH
Ger, Lieut.. Brown, who thoroughly under
stood what he was about. The ram was an
iron clad, well equipped with rified guns,
and with a long, sword like iron nose that
could pierce the side of any wooden ship sent
against her.
As she advanced the three Union vessels
retreated, firing back at the Arkansas as they
went The ram pursued them, sending shot
into them from her heavy bow guns and do
ing some damage.
Tho ram soon came upon the Carondelet
q slow vessel with the evident intention Of
ramming her, but she kept clear Of the rams
long nose, and fired as fast as possible. Their

Smelling at the town
June %, three days before Farragut passed
Vicksburg with his mortar fotilla, the large
vessels of his feet had landed ON the Louisi-
ana shore, opposite Vicksburg, Brig. Gen
Thomas Williams and 5000 troops. They
had with them two batteries.
On the map it will be observed that at
Viclsburg there is a very deep bend or curve
in the Mississippi. The river makes q loop
aud almost doubles over upon itself. Between
the ends of this loop the space is very mar
row. Here Gen. Williams began digging q
canal, the line OF which is shown on the ac-
companying map, employing 200 negroes.
This canal when finished, would have made
the space within the horseshoe an island, and
would have enabled the Union troops TO
cross easily to the Mississippi side. Vicks-
burg would thus have been cut Off from the
river, which would have been shortened by
50 much.
SO all three parties kept ''pegging away" in
President Lincoln's homely phrase, for some
weeks At length the Confederate fortiflca-
tions reached Grand Gulf, fifteen miles below
Vicksburg.

troops under Gen. Williams. The Confeder-
ates meantime were working with might
and main finishing the earthworks, bomb
proof classmates and batteries that had
been begun about Vicksburg in April,
1862 In May Gen. Williams had deemed
them too formidable for him to attack.
BY the last Of June, therefore, they had
assumed really stupendous proportions.
Troops and supplies poured into the town by
rail. Commodore c. II. Davis was at that
time flag officer of the Mississippi squadron
above Vicksburg. He had captured Mem
phis from the Confederates. In June, 1862,
he was ordered to proceed down the Missis-
Eippi with his feet to Vicksburg, and there
make a junction with Admiral Farragut,
who was to come up the river from New
Orleans.
June %, in the early morning, Farragut
passed the Vicksburg batteries. Shots were
exchanged for two hours, neither side doing
much damage. Then Farragut passed ON
up out of range. July l, Commodore Davis
joined him with the Upper Mississippi feet
at Young's Point, a few miles above Vicks-
burg, but on the Louisiana shore opposite.

OKLoMA, I. T., April 10.-A courier
from Shawneerown forty miles east of
here on the North Fork of the Cana
dian river brings the report of another
killing which just occurred a few miles
from that place. Three coIored horse
thieves succeeded in stealing a bunch
of horses from Long Tom a Shaw
nee Indian. When the theft was
discovered, a deputy United States
marshal. with three Indian Sac and
Fox police, gave pursuit and caught up.
at once the thieves commenced firing
with Winchester rifles, endorsing one
of the police at the first fire. A regular
pitched battle then ensued, in which
two Of the negroes were killed, together
with one of Indian police. The mar
shall was also badly wounded, but the
horses were recovered. The country
is oTerrun with desperadoes and horse
thieves.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, April 0.-Sheriff
Adriano last night at midnight discov-
cred that the prisoners in the Buchanan
county jail had planned and almost ex-
ecuted an escape. The tagging had
been removed from the corner of an
unused cell under the iron cot. The
concrete had been dug out clear to the
ground. All that remained to make
the plan a success was the digging of a
ffteen-foot tunnel. The work was
done with iron bars wrenched from the
cell doors. Peter HOrnek, under SEN
tence of death for wife-murder, and
Louis Bulling, on trial for an offenst
of like nature, were chiefs in the con
spiracy, together with more than fifty
| prisoners under sentence and awaiting
trial for the same offense.

The fighting at Chickasaw Bayou occurred
Dec. q, % and % On the 2Sth there was
only slight skirmishing as Sherman's men
advanced in four columns As the troops
formed in line, Steele's division went TO the
left, Morgan's came next, on Steeleis right,
II. L Smith on Morgan's right. On the ex-
IRENE right, and considerably nearer Vicks-
burg than the rest, was Brig. Gen. A. J..
Smiths division. Between A j. Smith and
the others was body of water called the
lake 1t was an old bed of the Yazoo river
The reader will see the situation from the
map. 1.-The Lake" was near the foot of the
hills. which are here sometimes called Chicka-
saw Bluffs.
So the columns advanced on Dec. 2S, in
the teeth Of Confederate batteries so numer-
ously and skillfully planted that they some
times enhladed with deadly fire the ad-
vancing Union lines. On this day Brig.
Gen. Morgan l. Smith was severely wounded
in the hip and was carried of the field
Steele's division had at first advanced on
the left of Chickasaw Bayou It was sub
jected to so deadly a fire that Steele was
ordered to go back to the Yazoo and return
with his division to the fight on the right of
Chickasaw Bayou, somewhat In the rear Of
Morgan's division. This movement he COM
pleted late on the night of Dec 28
Dec % a general assault was ordered from
the Union line Sherman's force was at the
foot of the high bluffs. These fairly
swarmed With Confederate batteries thor
oughly manned. The Confederate defenses
were In charge Of Brig. Gen. Martin L.
Smith. To take Vicksburg it was necessary
to storm these heights and capture them.
It seemed forlorn undertaking, on the face
OF it. Sherman had hoped to surprise Vicks-
burg. But spies all along the Mississippi,
even in Memphis and st. Louis, kept the
COnfadarafa craTaralaS iufoynoad Of
Union movement.
When, therefore, Sherman, with 81, 900
men left Memphis, Dec. 20, to attack Vicks-
burg, the Confederates understood his move
ment almost as well as he did himself. They
hurried re-enforcements in large numbers

on the great river. The southern authorities
therefore held to their Gibraltar with death
