Chorus. ?We're marching on to Dixpy, We're marching on to Dixey, We're marching on to D xev, To put rebellion down*. relied on to carry the Seceded States safely over the abyss which must ever be crossed by treason ; the North would be demorali- Red by its divisions; the Government would be utterly powerless to sustain itselt and to crush rebellion; and perhaps the entire control of the nation's interest would be transferred by virtue of adroit management and stern necessity, to the traitor leaders. It was a splendid political dream that flit- ted through the fevered brains of the reb- els, ?such as inspired Catiline and his com- peers to plot the ruin of Rome, ?such as deluded Burr into a villainy which no pat- riot forgives or forgets. A splendid dream of political ambition! Regardless of Con- stitutional obligations, of personal integrity, of national honor or interest, ot the first principles of human justice and Christian morality, these political Lucifers determined to secure for their own enjoyment and ag- grandizement, a large portion if not the whole of the country, with a desperation of crime utterly unprecedented in civilized nations. Robbery, perjury, outrage of ev- ery form were common and not unwelcome allies in the great work of treason. There were other causes of this war, yet more potent and more fatal to national safe- ty and honor. Of these I will speak an- other time. S. thousand four hundred and sixty seven. Killed and wounded on both sides. 27,084. These terrible figures show the battle of Shiloh, as it is now generally called, to have been one of the greatest of modern times, the greatest since Waterloo, except Solfe- rino. 1 his boy went through the whole of the Donelsou fight, and was engaged during the two days of that at Pittsburg. His father was wounded in three places, whilst he had his clothes pierced with bullets, and blood once slightly drawn from about the knee. Ilia drum was entirely shot away ! The little fellow's gear looked very rusty, and his girlish face was tanned ts dark as chocolate His colonel sent him home, with four wounded men, by whom he had remained, and to whom he had carried water on the field when the battle raged the hottest. They say he never flinch- ed. At Donelson he got hold of a gun dropped by a rebel, and fired twenty rounds himself, by borrowing cartridges from the soldiers about him. I tried to get him to stay with us over night, promising to take him home in my carriage, early in the morning. But no, he preferred to walk three or four miles in the mud and rain, after dark, fer he wanted to see his moth- er that night. His father was left behind in his hospital.' The Tax Bill. Since the report of the tax bill publish- ed, several new amendments have been made to it, as follows : For kissing a pretty girl, $1 00. For kissing a homely one, $2.00 ?the ex- tra amount being added probably as a pun- ishment for the mau's folly. For ladies kissing one another §IO.OO. The tax is placed at this rate in order to break up the custom altogether?it being regarded by our M. C.'s as a piece of inexcusable absur- dity. For ererv flirtation, 10 cents. Every young man who has more than one ' girl' is taxed §5.00. For courting in the kitchen, 25 cents. Courting in the sitting-room, 50 cents. Courting in the parlor, SI.OO. Courting in a romantic place, $5.00, and 50 cents for each offence thereafter. Seeing a lady home from church, 25 cents for each offence. Seeing ber homo from the dime society, 5 cents?the proceeds to be devoted to the re- lief of disabled army chaplains. For a lady who paints 50 cents. Fur wearing low necked dresses, SI.OO. For each curl on a lady's bead, above ten, 5 cents. For every unfair device for entrapping young men into matrimony, $5.00. For wearing hoops larger than ten feet in circumference, 8 cents for each hoop. Old bach's over thirty are taxed $lO. Over forty, S2O. Over fifty, SSO, and sentenced to banish- ment in Utah. Each pretty lady to be taxed frem 25 cts. to $25 ?she to fix the estimate on her own beauty. It is thought that a very large sum will be realised from this provieon. Each boy baby, 50 cents. Each girl baby, 25 cents. Families having more than eight babies are not to be taxed ; and for twins, a premium of S4O will be paid out of the funds accruing from the tax on old bachelors. Each Sunday loafer on street corners or about church doors is to be taxed his full value, which is just about 2 cents. Each person who still advocates " concess- ion" to the south, at his full value, 3 cents. Secession lady wenches, at their full value, 3 cents. English Tribute to the Yankees A correspondent, of the London Tele- graph writing at Washington on March 11th, of the combat between the Monitor and the Merrimac, sajs: But one hope it will at least not be premature to express. It is that the English Government will at once see the wisdom of attaching the best military or naval engineer in the country, and also the best Royal artilleryman, to the British Legation at Washington, with a view to observing and taking cognizance of all the many experiments of this high y ingenious people in ordnance and ship buil- ding. It is high time that our ignorant superciliousness and contemptuous indiffer- ence of America should cease. More is to be learned here than anywhere in the world; and if we are such madmen as to shut our eyes to this fact, in the face of the grave eventualities which loom so palpably through the future, and to which it is hard- ly possible to allude in definite language, l_ li \u25a0 O O / the blame be upon our own heads! The same writer, describing the forward movement of General McClellan's army, says: Such an imposing display of strength, so much of the pomp, pride and circum- stance of glorious war, has rarely been wit- nessed in any nation as was yesterday vis- ible in Washington. From dawn to dewy eve, infantry, cavalry and artillery continu- ed to pour in an unbroken stream across .the Potomac; and if I should say that old military men, who have seen camps and ar- mies the world over, and have watched French troops filing by in Peris for two hours together, confessed that they had nev- er witnessed such a manifestation of power, I should convey a very imperfect and inad- equate idea of the impression conveyed to all beholders. A Sad Case. A Tripple Bereavement. ?On Wednes- day last, as Lieut. Van Annan, of the 58th Illinois was passing near the Post Office, he was accosted by a youthful woman, who said that seeing the figures 'sß' on his hat, she hoped he might be able to tell how she could get a letter to an officer in that regi- ment. lie said he would be happy to oblige her if he could. She said she had written several letters and received no an swer. 'What is the name?' inquired Lieut. \an Arman. ' Lieut. Fife,' answered the lady. 'I am sorry to say that Lieut. Fife is dead ; he was killed at Pittsburg,' said \an Arman. The effect was terrible. Al- most instantly the lady sank to the ground, fainting. When restored her grief was most distressing. Lieut. Fife was her hus- band. But, unfortunately, the sad budget of news was not all told. It appears that her father was Capt. Kurth, of Company F, 58th regiment, and her uncle was First Lieut. Kurth, and her husband Second Lieut of the same regiment. Iler father is now a prisoner, with the most of his regiment, in the hands of the rebels, and her uncle was wounded severely in the en- gagement. It is rarely that such a con- centration of misfortune falls upon a single family.? Chicago Journal. PATENT COAL OIL GREASE. Tift IS Grease is made from COAL OIL, and has been found by repeated tests to be the most economical, and at the came time the best lubricator for Mill Gearing, Stages, Wagons, Carts, Carriages, Vehicles of all kinds, and all heavy bearings, keeping the axles always cool, and not rcjuir ing ihetn to be looked after for weeks. It has been tested on railroad cars, and with one soaking of the waste it has run, with the cars, 20,000 miles ! All railroad, omnibus, liverv stable and Express companies that have tried it pronounce it the neplxts ultra. It combines the body and fluidity uf tallow, beeswax and tar, and unlike general luhriea it*, will not run off, it being warranted to :-:tnd any temperature. I have it in boxes 2} to irt lbs. Also kegs and barrels from 30 to 400 lbs, for general use and sale. The boxes are more prefera- ble: they are 0 inches in diameter by- 2$ inches !eep, at.d hold 21 lbs net; the boxes arc clean, and hardly a carman, teamster, expressman, miller or farmer, that would not purchase or" h x for trial.

Blest banner of freedom ! thy pinion Floats wide o'er the land nncf the sea? The emblem of peaceful dominion, Our eyes turn with rapture to thee. Though war clouds and dangers are o'er lis. Thy folds are still dear to our view? With the tlag of our country before us. We march to the Red. White and Blue, We march to the Reu. White and Blue, We inarch to the Red, White and Blue, With the tlag of our country before u.s. We march to the Red. White and Blue. The glorious ensign ne'er sever, Lei it float in the ether above, Its stars the bright symbol, forever, Of t'uiow and Freedom and Love. May they never grow dim iu their shilling. Nor fade from their colors so true. The stars and the stripes still entwining. Hurrah for the Red, White and Blue. Though traitors shall meet and disenable, Ami annie of rebels shall rise. Our banner shall cause them to tremble As it waves in the bright southern skies. And millions of patriot voices, .Shall the chorus of freedom renew. And shout as the nation rejoices. Hurrah for the Red, White and Blue. Itcnton Rarraeks, St. Louis. 1862. By far the most imposing arm in the ser- vice is the artillery. It is said that Gen- eral McClellan ordered twenty batteries, in all one hundred and twenty guns, to cross the rive. lam confident from what I saw that this is the lowest estimate of the field guns which yesterday moved to the front. On the field of Solferino, Louis Napoleon had one hundred and eighty uuns in posi- tion ; but here, in connection with only a single arm}*, one hundred and twenty guns, ot a calibre far superior tc the French, were in motion together, exclusive of those which had crossed long before; and it can- nut be pretended that any nation on earth is so strong in artillery at this moment as the Federal States of America. Brass how- itaers, Parrott gun-, caissons tumbrils, am- munition wagons, forges, moved forward in long and endless line. A Singular Prophfcy. The following circumstance, says the Richmond Whig, recently occurred atPen- sacula, and its truth is vouched for by a trustworthy officer of the army ! 1 A soldier in the Confederate service fell into a long and profound sleep, from which his comrades vainly essayed to arouse him. At last he woke up himself. He then stated that he should die the next af- ternoon at four o'clock, for it was so reveal- ed to hiui in his dream. He said in the last week of the month of April would be fought the greatest and bloodiest battle of modern times, and that early in May peace would break upon the land more suddenly and unexpectedly than the war had done in the beginning. The first part of the prophetic dream has been realiied, for the soldier died the next day at four o'clock, P. M. Will the rest be in Apriland May ? Let believers in dreams wait and see."? Mobile Advertiser- A Camp of Women at Island No. Ten. A letter to the Albany Journal, describ- ing Island No. 10, after its capture, says : Cue of the features of the deserted rebel camp, was a peculiarity which we have not met with heretofore. On a beautiful hill, surrounded with beautiful groves, budding wild flowers, and the accompanying charms of a rural retreat, we found a bevy of nymphs encamped enjoying soldierly life in real earnest. There were twelve or fifteen of them, of different ages, but all young and more or less fair to look upon. They sat around the camp fire, and cooked their breakfast, a littie disheveled and rumpled, as might perhaps be expected, in remem- brance of the scenes of excitement they had passed through, but yet as much com- posed, and as much at home as though they had campaigned it all their lives.? There was a stray lock of hair dangling here and there, an unlaced bodice granting chary glimpses of vast luxuriance of bust, a stocking down at the heel, or a garter with visible downward tendencies?all of which was attributable to our early visit. There were all the marks of femininity about the place. The embowering trees were hung with hoop skirts, and flaunting articles, which looked in the distance like abbreviated pantaloons. A glance at the interior of the tent showed magnificent disorder. Dimity and calico, silk, feathers and all the appurtenances of a female bou- doir were visible. It was a rara avis in terra ?a new bird in the woods. These feminine voyageurs were real campaigners. The chivalry of the south, ever solicitous for the sex. could not resist the inclination for its society, and hence the eamp of nympliß by the river side, in the embowering shade, et cetera. I will not say much for their fair fame, or for the good name of the confederate officers, whose baggage was mingled in admirable confusion with the rumpled dimity and calico, whose boots and spurs hung upon the hoops, skirts and unm.entionables, and whose old hats ornamented the tent poles or decked the heads of the fair adventur- esses It was a new feature in war. E-litC'l by A. SMITH, County Superintendent. For the Educational Column. The Causes of the War. No. I. It would be an unpardonable wrong to the youth of the present generation, to per- mit them to go uninformed concerning the true nature and origin of the terrible war now raging in our country. Experience has taught us a very severe, but a much- needed lesson; let it not be our fault if there shall ever be necessity for a repetition of it. Let u* be truthful and frank in assigning the causes of the rebellion which has so nearly destroyed our government, and with it oar free and enlightened institutions. It is easy to talk of the wickedness of treason, and to wish all sorts of bad luck to arch-traitors; but it is far nobler to look at facts and see wherein consists the motive, what constitutes the mainspring, of that treason. If we see that clearly, we can more easily guard against its recurrence, and thus enable our children to live a more undisturbed life than we are now leading. Political ambition has doubtless been ve- ry influential in stirring up the waters of discord. Not a few of the Southern lead- ers felt much as Satan is represented by | Milton as feeling,?that it was ? better 'a reign in hell than serve in heaven;' and as their long career of domination seemed likely to be definitely ended by the nation- al triumph of free priciples ?not by the oleotiou of a sectional President, as some partisans falsely affirm ?they determined to try the bold venture of breaking up the o-overnment, and securing fox themselves undisturbed empire. The utter ignorance of the mass of the Southern people render- ed them easy dupes of wily and unscrupu- lous leaders, and by a frenzied movement the deed of Secession was wrought?not to be undone save by the sacrifice of many thousands of victims, some of them fur- nishing as costly blood as ever flowed in American veins. Those leaders entered into the hazardous game of treason with £he full conviction that their mad schemes would be realized by the defiant attitude of a united South aided by a powerful party at the North. The recent message of his Sub-Excellency Jeff. Davis is a confession of that fact. Party ties and watchwords ? the potent spell of a name , ?these were H?*k-Gov. Yates of Illinois, has paid a rather unusual, but well-merrited, compli- ment to Mrs. Reynolds, wife of Lieut. Rey- nolds, of the 17th Illinois regiment, and a resident of Peoria. Mrs. Reynolds has ac- companied her husband through the great- er part of the campaign through which the 17th has passed, sharing with him the dan- gers and privations of a soldiers life. She v>as present at the battle of Pittsburg Landing, and like a ministering angel at- tended to the wants of as many of the wounded and djing soldiers as she could, thus winning the gratitude and esteem of the brave fellows by whom she was sur- rounded. Gov. Yates, hearing of her he- roic and praiseworthy conduct, presented her with a commission as Major in the ar- my, the document conferring the well-mer- ited honor being made out with all dne formality and having attached to it the great seal of the State. lgfc.Thc venerable and reverend Thom- as H. Stockton, who has for many years been a chaplain in Congress, opened the proceedings of the House, the other day, with this prayer: 4 We thank Thee for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. We thank Thee for the emancipation of slaves in the capital of our country. We thank Thee that our soil is now free from slavery, and that this air is now free air, and so shall remain forever. We accept this great blessing, not as the result of human mani- festation?not as a matter of party policy?- but as a Divine intervention; as the devel- opment of another form of confirmation of Thy great and glorious purpose, and to complete the work of human redemp- tion. Therefore we bless and magnify Thy most excellent name, uniting with the churches of all lands and of all ages saying: Glory be to the Father, and unto the Soa unto the Holy Ghost; as it was in the be- ginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end f A Heroic Boy- ' A little boy, only twelve yeaw old, whose mother resides in Woodburn, return- ed last week from Pittsburg Landing.

[From the Cincinnati Commercial.] Losses in the Battle of Shiloh A correspondent, writing from Pittsburg Landing, gives the official figures of our , loss during the two days' battle. The to- ' tals are: killed, 1,735; wounded, 8,882; missing, 3,956. Total killed, wounded and missing, 13,573. This is, at least, twenty, five per cent, of our whole force encased, _!? . O O ' an extraordinary proportion. The iMemphis Argus of Saturday even- ing, the 26th. gives the losses suffered by forty regiments of rebels, as shown by offi- cial reports. They foot up as follows : Killed, 927; wounded, 4,471; missincr, 361. i The rebel regiments averaged a little over four hundred effectives each. If they had sixty thousand effectives in the fight, and that is believed to be a low estimate, they had near one hundred and fifty regiments engaged. Let us say, to avoid exaggera- tion, that they had one hundred and forty regiments. It all the regiments suffered iu proportion with those reported, the rebel loss would he killed, 3,244; wounded, 15, 648; missing, 1,273. Grand total, 20,135. Of course these figures are in some de- gree inaccurate. Let us again lower the estimate of the rebel forces, and say that the forty regiments comprised one third ; of their force; and it is not at all reasonble j to suppose that they had less than one hun- j dred and twenty regiments. Calculated from this basis, upon the ratio given by the official reports of the enemy, there were killed 2.781, wounded, 13,413, missing 1,- 082. Total loss 17,277. There is no reas on to suppose that the enemy's regiments which lost most heavily are those first re ported. We have, for instance, before us the names of the killed of the Fifty-fifth Tennessee, a regiment not included in the report of the Argus, and they number six- ty?more than any one named in the Argus lost. The total number of rebels wounded and unwounded who fell into our hands was over a thousand. These, with the stragglers from the enemy's ranks, would make up their missing, and in that partic- ular verify our estimate. Our correspon dent writing from the battle field, three weeks after the engagement, after long and earnest search fur the truth, says: 'I deem it safe to say that at least three thousand Confederates were gathered up by our bu- rying parties.' If the enemy lost in killed three thousand, and the proportion between the killed and wounded was the same as in those regiments whose official returns are printed, their loss in wounded was 14,467; and the missing, oontinuing this calculation, would number 1.167. Total loss 18,634. Our killed are in proportion to the woun- ded as one to four and a half. The Rebel killed, according to their official report, was as one to four and two-thirds. It has heon the impression of our troops, gathered from the great number of Rebel dead found on the field in proportion to the wounded, that our wounded far out num- bered theirs. The first glimpse at the Reb- el official reports show this to have been a mistake. Over three hundred died during the first week after the battle. And yet it is impossible that the Rebel woundet could have been as well cared for as ours. They were obliged to haul their mangled masses over terrible ruads to Corinth, and thence they could only be removed by cars. Our wounded were, however, better cared for than were the wounded in any great battle ever fought at a distance from a oity. A great many of our wounded were struck by buckshot and round bullets, and their wounds are not very severe. The wounded of the enemy almost invariably suffered from the terrible conical balls, and under all the circumstances, most inevitably per- ish by thousands. Our loss in killed and wounded alone, was nine thousand six hundred and seven- teen. The enemy's loss in killed and woun- ded?taking the account that three thou- sand were buried on the field, as probably the most veritable estimate?wan seventeen WILLIAM LINO, has ROW open A NEW STOCK or Cloths, Cassimeres AND VEftTI NCB, which will be made up to order in the neat- est and most fashionable styles. apl9 wuww A m m TIN WARE!

relied on to carry the Seceded States safelyover the abyss which must ever be crossedby treason ; the North would be demorali-Red by its divisions; the Government wouldbe utterly powerless to sustain itselt and tocrush rebellion; and perhaps the entirecontrol of the nation's interest would betransferred by virtue of adroit managementand stern necessity, to the traitor leaders.It was a splendid political dream that flit-ted through the fevered brains of the reb-els, ?such as inspired Catiline and his com-peers to plot the ruin of Rome, ?such asdeluded Burr into a villainy which no pat-riot forgives or forgets. A splendid dreamof political ambition! Regardless of Con-stitutional obligations, of personal integrity,of national honor or interest, ot the firstprinciples of human justice and Christianmorality, these political Lucifers determinedto secure for their own enjoyment and ag-grandizement, a large portion if not thewhole of the country, with a desperationof crime utterly unprecedented in civilizednations. Robbery, perjury, outrage of ev-ery form were common and not unwelcomeallies in the great work of treason.

There were other causes of this war, yetmore potent and more fatal to national safe-ty and honor. Of these I willspeak an-other time. S.

The little fellow's gear lookedvery rusty, and his girlish face was tannedts dark as chocolate His colonel sent himhome, with four wounded men, by whomhe had remained, and to whom he hadcarried water on the field when the battleraged the hottest. They say he never flinch-ed. At Donelson he got hold of a gundropped by a rebel, and fired twenty roundshimself, by borrowing cartridges from thesoldiers about him. I tried to get him tostay with us over night, promising to takehim home in my carriage, early in themorning. But no, he preferred to walkthree or four miles in the mud and rain,after dark, fer he wanted to see his moth-er that night. His father was left behindin his hospital.'

The Tax Bill.Since the report of the tax bill publish-

ed, several new amendments have beenmade to it, as follows :

For kissing a pretty girl, $1 00.For kissing a homely one, $2.00 ?the ex-

tra amount being added probably as a pun-ishment for the mau's folly.

For ladies kissing one another §IO.OO. Thetax is placed at this rate in order to break upthe custom altogether?it being regarded byour M. C.'s as a piece of inexcusable absur-dity.

For ererv flirtation, 10 cents.Every young man who has more than one

' girl' is taxed §5.00.For courting in the kitchen, 25 cents.Courting in the sitting-room, 50 cents.Courting in the parlor, SI.OO.Courting in a romantic place, $5.00, and

50 cents for each offence thereafter.Seeing a lady home from church, 25 cents

for each offence.Seeing ber homo from the dime society, 5

For a lady who paints 50 cents.Fur wearing low necked dresses, SI.OO.For each curl on a lady's bead, above ten,

5 cents.For every unfair device for entrapping

young men into matrimony, $5.00.For wearing hoops larger than ten feet in

Each boy baby, 50 cents.Each girl baby, 25 cents.Families having more than eight babies are

not to be taxed ; and for twins, a premium ofS4O will be paid out of the funds accruingfrom the tax on old bachelors.

English Tribute to the YankeesA correspondent, of the London Tele-

graph writing at Washington on March11th, of the combat between the Monitorand the Merrimac, sajs: But one hope itwill at least not be premature to express.It is that the English Government willatonce see the wisdom of attaching the bestmilitary or naval engineer in the country,and also the best Royal artilleryman, to theBritish Legation at Washington, with aview to observing and taking cognizance ofall the many experiments of this high yingenious people in ordnance and ship buil-ding. It is high time that our ignorantsuperciliousness and contemptuous indiffer-ence of America should cease. More is tobe learned here than anywhere in the world;and if we are such madmen as to shut oureyes to this fact, in the face of the graveeventualities which loom so palpablythrough the future, and to which it is hard-ly possible to allude in definite language,

the blame be upon our own heads!The same writer, describing the forward

movement of General McClellan's army,says: Such an imposing display of strength,so much of the pomp, pride and circum-stance of glorious war, has rarely been wit-nessed in any nation as was yesterday vis-ible in Washington. From dawn to dewyeve, infantry, cavalry and artillery continu-ed to pour in an unbroken stream across.the Potomac; and if I should say that oldmilitary men, who have seen camps and ar-mies the world over, and have watchedFrench troops filing by in Peris for twohours together, confessed that they had nev-er witnessed such a manifestation of power,I should convey a very imperfect and inad-equate idea of the impression conveyed toall beholders.

A Sad Case.A Tripple Bereavement. ?On Wednes-

day last, as Lieut. Van Annan, of the 58thIllinois was passing near the Post Office,he was accosted by a youthful woman, whosaid that seeing the figures 'sß' on his hat,she hoped he might be able to tell how shecould get a letter to an officer in that regi-ment. lie said he would be happy tooblige her if he could. She said she hadwritten several letters and received no answer. 'What is the name?' inquired Lieut.\an Arman. ' Lieut. Fife,' answered thelady. 'I am sorry to say that Lieut. Fifeis dead ; he was killed at Pittsburg,' said\an Arman. The effect was terrible. Al-most instantly the lady sank to the ground,fainting. When restored her grief wasmost distressing. Lieut. Fife was her hus-band. But, unfortunately, the sad budgetof news was not all told. It appears thather father was Capt. Kurth, of CompanyF, 58th regiment, and her uncle was FirstLieut. Kurth, and her husband SecondLieut of the same regiment. Iler fatheris now a prisoner, with the most of hisregiment, in the hands of the rebels, andher uncle was wounded severely in the en-gagement. It is rarely that such a con-centration of misfortune falls upon a singlefamily.? Chicago Journal.

BY REV. J. H. FREEMAS.

Blest banner of freedom ! thy pinionFloats wide o'er the land nncf the sea?

The emblem of peaceful dominion,Our eyes turn with rapture to thee.

Though war clouds and dangers are o'er lis.Thy folds are still dear to our view?

With the tlag of our country before us.We march to the Red. White and Blue,We march to the Reu. White and Blue,We inarch to the Red, White and Blue,

With the tlag of our country before u.s.We march to the Red. White and Blue.

The glorious ensign ne'er sever,Lei it float in the ether above,

Its stars the bright symbol, forever,Of t'uiow and Freedom and Love.

May they never grow dim iu their shilling.Nor fade from their colors so true.

The stars and the stripes still entwining.Hurrah for the Red, White and Blue.

Though traitors shall meet and disenable,Ami annie ofrebels shall rise.

Our banner shall cause them to trembleAs it waves in the bright southern skies.

And millions of patriot voices,.Shall the chorus of freedom renew.

And shout as the nation rejoices.Hurrah for the Red, White and Blue.

By far the most imposing arm in the ser-vice is the artillery. It is said that Gen-eral McClellan ordered twenty batteries, inall one hundred and twenty guns, to crossthe rive. lam confident from what Isawthat this is the lowest estimate of the fieldguns which yesterday moved to the front.On the field of Solferino, Louis Napoleonhad one hundred and eighty uuns in posi-tion ; but here, in connection with only asingle arm}*, one hundred and twenty guns,ot a calibre far superior tc the French, werein motion together, exclusive of thosewhich had crossed long before; and it can-nut be pretended that any nation on earthis so strong in artillery at this moment asthe Federal States of America. Brass how-itaers, Parrott gun-, caissons tumbrils, am-munition wagons, forges, moved forward inlong and endless line.

A Singular Prophfcy.The following circumstance, says the

Richmond Whig, recently occurred atPen-sacula, and its truth is vouched for by atrustworthy officer of the army !

1 A soldier in the Confederate servicefell into a long and profound sleep, fromwhich his comrades vainly essayed to arousehim. At last he woke up himself. Hethen stated that he should die the next af-ternoon at four o'clock, for it was so reveal-ed to hiui in his dream. He said in thelast week of the month of April would befought the greatest and bloodiest battle ofmodern times, and that early in May peacewould break upon the land more suddenlyand unexpectedly than the war had donein the beginning. The first part of theprophetic dream has been realiied, for thesoldier died the next day at four o'clock,P. M. Will the rest be in Apriland May ?

A Camp of Women at Island No. Ten.A letter to the Albany Journal, describ-

ing Island No. 10, after its capture, says :Cue of the features of the deserted rebelcamp, was a peculiarity which we have notmet with heretofore. On a beautiful hill,surrounded with beautiful groves, buddingwild flowers, and the accompanying charmsof a rural retreat, we found a bevy ofnymphs encamped enjoying soldierly life inreal earnest. There were twelve or fifteenof them, of different ages, but all youngand more or less fair to look upon. Theysat around the camp fire, and cooked theirbreakfast, a littie disheveled and rumpled,as might perhaps be expected, in remem-brance of the scenes of excitement theyhad passed through, but yet as much com-posed, and as much at home as thoughthey had campaigned it all their lives.?There was a stray lock of hair danglinghere and there, an unlaced bodice grantingchary glimpses of vast luxuriance of bust,a stocking down at the heel, or a garterwith visible downward tendencies?all ofwhich was attributable to our early visit.There were all the marks of femininityabout the place. The embowering treeswere hung with hoop skirts, and flauntingarticles, which looked in the distance likeabbreviated pantaloons. A glance at theinterior of the tent showed magnificentdisorder. Dimity and calico, silk, feathersand all the appurtenances of a female bou-doir were visible. It was a rara avis interra ?a new bird in the woods.

These feminine voyageurs were realcampaigners. The chivalry of the south,ever solicitous for the sex. could not resistthe inclination for its society, and hencethe eamp of nympliß by the river side, inthe embowering shade, et cetera. I willnot say much for their fair fame, or for thegood name of the confederate officers,whose baggage was mingled in admirableconfusion with the rumpled dimity andcalico, whose boots and spurs hung uponthe hoops, skirts and unm.entionables, andwhose old hats ornamented the tent polesor decked the heads of the fair adventur-esses It was a new feature in war.

For the Educational Column.

The Causes of the War. No. I.It would be an unpardonable wrong to

the youth of the present generation, to per-mit them to go uninformed concerning thetrue nature and origin of the terrible war

now raging in our country. Experiencehas taught us a very severe, but a much-needed lesson; let it not be our fault if thereshall ever be necessity for a repetition of it.Let u* be truthful and frank in assigningthe causes of the rebellion which has so

nearly destroyed our government, and withit oar free and enlightened institutions.

It is easy to talk of the wickedness oftreason, and to wish all sorts of bad luckto arch-traitors; but it is far nobler to lookat facts and see wherein consists the motive,what constitutes the mainspring, of thattreason. If we see that clearly, we can

more easily guard against its recurrence,and thus enable our children to live a moreundisturbed life than we are now leading.

Political ambition has doubtless been ve-ry influential in stirring up the waters ofdiscord. Not a few of the Southern lead-ers felt much as Satan is represented by |Milton as feeling,?that it was ? better 'areign in hell than serve in heaven;' and astheir long career of domination seemed

likely to be definitely ended by the nation-al triumph of free priciples ?not by theoleotiou of a sectional President, as some

partisans falsely affirm?they determined to

try the bold venture of breaking up theo-overnment, and securing fox themselvesundisturbed empire. The utter ignoranceof the mass of the Southern people render-ed them easy dupes of wily and unscrupu-lous leaders, and by a frenzied movementthe deed of Secession was wrought?not to

be undone save by the sacrifice of many

thousands of victims, some of them fur-nishing as costly blood as ever flowed in

American veins. Those leaders enteredinto the hazardous game of treason with£he full conviction that their mad schemeswould be realized by the defiant attitude of

a united South aided by a powerful partyat the North. The recent message of hisSub-Excellency Jeff. Davis is a confessionof that fact. Party ties and watchwords ?

We thankThee that our soil is now free from slavery,and that this air is now free air, and soshall remain forever.

Losses in the Battle of ShilohA correspondent, writing from Pittsburg

Landing, gives the official figures of our ,loss during the two days' battle. The to- 'tals are: killed, 1,735; wounded, 8,882;missing, 3,956. Total killed, wounded andmissing, 13,573. This is, at least, twenty,five per cent, of our whole force encased,

_!? .O O '

an extraordinary proportion.The iMemphis Argus of Saturday even-

ing, the 26th. gives the losses suffered byforty regiments of rebels, as shown by offi-cial reports. They foot up as follows :Killed, 927; wounded, 4,471; missincr, 361. iThe rebel regiments averaged a little overfour hundred effectives each. If they hadsixty thousand effectives in the fight, andthat is believed to be a low estimate, theyhad near one hundred and fifty regimentsengaged. Let us say, to avoid exaggera-tion, that they had one hundred and fortyregiments. It all the regiments sufferediu proportion with those reported, the rebelloss would he killed, 3,244; wounded, 15,648; missing, 1,273. Grand total, 20,135.

Of course these figures are in some de-gree inaccurate. Let us again lowerthe estimate of the rebel forces, and saythat the forty regiments comprised one third ;of their force; and it is not at all reasonble jto suppose that they had less than one hun- jdred and twenty regiments. Calculatedfrom this basis, upon the ratio given by theofficial reports of the enemy, there werekilled 2.781, wounded, 13,413, missing 1,-082. Total loss 17,277. There is no reason to suppose that the enemy's regimentswhich lost most heavily are those first reported. We have, for instance, before usthe names of the killed of the Fifty-fifthTennessee, a regiment not included in thereport of the Argus, and they number six-ty?more than any one named in the Arguslost. The total number of rebels woundedand unwounded who fell into our handswas over a thousand. These, with thestragglers from the enemy's ranks, wouldmake up their missing, and in that partic-ular verify our estimate. Our correspondent writing from the battle field, threeweeks after the engagement, after long andearnest search fur the truth, says: 'I deemit safe to say that at least three thousandConfederates were gathered up by our bu-rying parties.' Ifthe enemy lost in killedthree thousand, and the proportion betweenthe killed and wounded was the same as inthose regiments whose official returns areprinted, their loss in wounded was 14,467;and the missing, oontinuing this calculation,would number 1.167. Total loss 18,634.Our killed are in proportion to the woun-ded as one to four and a half. The Rebelkilled, according to their official report, wasas one to four and two-thirds.

It has heon the impression of our troops,gathered from the great number of Rebeldead found on the field in proportion to thewounded, that our wounded far out num-bered theirs. The first glimpse at the Reb-el official reports show this to have been amistake. Over three hundred died duringthe first week after the battle. And yet it is

impossible that the Rebel woundet couldhave been as well cared for as ours. Theywere obliged to haul their mangled massesover terrible ruads to Corinth, and thencethey could only be removed by cars. Ourwounded were, however, better cared forthan were the wounded in any great battleever fought at a distance from a oity. Agreat many of our wounded were struck bybuckshot and round bullets, and theirwounds are not very severe. The woundedof the enemy almost invariably sufferedfrom the terrible conical balls, and underall the circumstances, most inevitably per-ish by thousands.

Our loss in killed and wounded alone,was nine thousand six hundred and seven-teen. The enemy's loss in killed and woun-ded?taking the account that three thou-sand were buried on the field, as probablythe most veritable estimate?wan seventeen
