The Southward March of Uncle Sam.


Some weeks ago, we stated that the
American flag was waving in every State
Lut Alabama, Arkansas aud Texas
but from the following, which we extract
from late letter of the Bulletins Wash
iugton correspondent, itappears that Uncle
Sam has foothold in every State but two:


To-day we have the announcement that
the flag of the Union is flying over the soil
OF every rebel State except Two, now that
our forces have seized aud occupied Tybee
Island, near Savannah. Our Coast Survey
officers concur in the opinion that Fort Pu.
Iaski-lhe only remaining defense of the
approaches to Savannah must be evaoaa-
ted by the rebel force whenever operations
against 1t from Tybce Island are commenced.
1t will be remembered that Russell of the
London Times, when visiting this work
gave his opinion that the capture Of Pulaski
would cost The Government severe work
and heavy loss. Practically, the job is
done already, without the loss OF single
life; and the same panic which resulted In
the evacuation of Tybee by the rebels, in
all probability will lead TO similar rear
ward movement from It's sister work. Thus
it happens that the flag of 81 stars is excln-
ded to day from only two States of the old
Union Alabama aud Arkansas--and the
national colors are planted within few
miles Of those. Do foreign governments

GREAT UNION DEMONSTRATIONS IN MEMPHrs.--
In the Memphis Bulletin of the 1lth instant
whole page is taken up with the description and
proceedings Of grand popular Union demon
stration in said city on the 10th. Three thous-

banners and notices, liberty cars, speeches and
resolutions marked the spirit of the occasion to
be Of the most enthusiastic character in favor
Of the Union, and Of the vigorous prosecution Of
the war for the suppression of the rebellion.
The people of Memphis are convinced Of tho
power Of the general government. Hence their
emphatic and enthusiastic loyalty. Let the
same power be made manifest at Richmond,
and we shall have the same popular reaction
there, and 10 throughout the South. All that
we want to secure the speedy triumph of the
Union cause is vigorous prosecution Of the war
and no going into winter quarters.

Hon. Hiram Barney-Dear Sir:-Your ia


vor of the 22d instant has been received. An
invitation similar to that which you so kindly


urge npon me, l have been obliged within a
few days to decline, in consequence of en-.
gagements here which occupy every moment
| OF my time, and must now make the same
answer to yourself.


There will doubtless be present with you on
the occasion referred to those capable by their
eioquence of effecting all the good that popu-
lar addresses can now accomplish. Imust be
frank, however, and say that to me it seems
that what is at this moment needed is not
words, however glowing, but heroic deeds


The tongue OF an archange could scarcely
comfort and animate the popular spirit in the
presence of the naction of our armies. After
an unparalleled expenditure of treasure, and
the marshallIng of such armies as the world
has never seen, and after sacrifices which are
clothing the land in mourning, at the expira
tion of eighteen months from the commence
meDt of the reuellon find it more defiant
and determined. aud more successful in its in
vasions and spolIations, than at any moment
since the struggle began. This is fiom no
lack of devotion on the part of the people, who
have poured out their blood aud treasure like
water, nor yet from any lack of courage on
the part OF our brave volunteers. Our sold
irrs have been everywhere painting for sight
of the enemy, while the great heart of the
is like groundswell OF the ocean, pressing on
forces towards the battle field. A sad
dened belief is rapidly spreading that, unless
the present condition of things is speedily
changed, our cause will b. lost. An immedi
ate, bold ard aggressive movement upon the
enemy-following up every blow struck and
gathering the fruits of every victory gained
is what is required for our deliverance. To
the accomplishment OF this single object the
thoughts, the efforts and the prayers of the
whole country should be directed. II those
who are in front will not go forward, the pub
lie safety will demand that they be assign ID
positions in the rear. What are sensibiities,

schemes of any general in the field. as COM

other night at the Villa Eugene; and who
could play the heroine as well as the En-
press herself?


The ball, more brilliant even than the
former one, was somewhat saddened by
the non-attendance of the Emperor, who
was compelled to retire early, on account
of indisposition. M. de Caux led the
cotillion. He had been telegraphed for
on purpose. His talent was never made
more manifest than on this occasion,
and he has enriched the dance with a new
figure, which will, no doubt, be eminently
successful at the balls this winter. Each
lady is provided with flag of bright and
variegated colors the leader of the cotil-
lion holds wand, from the top of which
float long ribbons of every tint of the
rainbow. The movement consists in the
obligation of each lady to seize the ribbon
of the same color as the flag which has
fallen to her share. The maneuvre is
extremely difficult, as the rapidity with
which the leader flies through the figure
dazzles the sight to mixing the colors so
that the eye can scarcely seize the SINH
larity. When all are taken, the ladies'
whirl rapidly round the leader until he
is completely enveloped in the ribbons,
and drops upon one knee, when the dance
is ended.--London Court Journal.

Renaissance of tho elhood of the Empress Eugorie,
Biarritz is full OF the renovated gayety
and spirit infused into the Court circle
by the absolute return to the lightness and
iasouciance Of youth displayed by the Em

The brisk and joyous manner in which

meath the vines.


The adventure happened at Pampeluna,
near which place the Mentijos possess a
little ieudal castle, much beloved of the
younger portion Of the family, and to this
day often regretted by the Empress Eu
genie.


One evening grand ball and recep-
ton took place at the Taconera, in honor
of the visit of a certain Austrian Arch,
duke out upon his travels. The Governor
professed, at that time, most ardent ad-
miration for the gay and youthful Euge-
ME, who had scarcely arrived beyond the
period of childhood, and, indeed, in any
other country than Spain, would have
still been confined to the nursery.


The excess Of delight experienced by
the little sonora, at being thus the bright
particular star of the ball, can be readily
imagined.


The sober old Governor, brave and
tried old soldier, had nothing to refuse to
the fair creature, the contemplation of
whose very youth and merriment, made
him young and merry likewise, and the
beautiful Eugene danced to her hearts
content, till any other but herself would
have been exhausted. But so long as one
single partner remained, it was not likely
that this most indeialigable votaly of the
contredance and cotilion would yield to
the fatigue which others felt, or to the
desire which others might express of with
drawing from the ballroom.


At length she was led out by the greater
celebrity present at the fete-the general
appointed by the queen in attendance on
the Archduke. He was a regular and
true type of the old Spanish grandee--
bristly though bald--withered though
pursy--hurried and short in speech, tho
formal and ceremonious in manner. The

declaring war upon the dogs, and owners Of
canine property will take notice that the law
in relation to its registry has already gone in

pers.


This Law requires every owner or keeper
of dog to register the animal with the
township clerk, on or before the 18th of May
and annually thereafter paying a dollar
each for male and three dollars for female
dogs; also to place collar on the dogs
neck, of leather or metal, not less than an
inch wide, with the date and number of the
registry engraved thereon.


For fsilure to comply with these pro-
visions, the dog owner is liable to fine of
five dollars, and penalty not exceeding
fifty dollars is imposed upon any one who
shall kill or steal registered dog. The
township trustees shall require all unregis-
tered dogs over three months old to be slain.
Money collected under this law goes to the

be the truth in that respect it seems to be
conceded that there was no disgrace attached
to the movement, and so far as the 18th is
