From the St, Louis Republlcnn COLUMUUS. There Is no mistake that tlio enemy's position nt Columbus, Kentucky, is rti near Irnprcgnn bio as the engineering art, added to tlio natur al topography of that section of the country, can tUo It. From what knowledge wo have acnuired in relation to its defences, wo should deem it extremely perilous to attempt its capt ure by mere nssult, cither by land or naval for ces, ir both combined for if tho hall tha' is said of it is true, the plnco is capablo of a pro. i i ,) Tifcc!ssful resistance to any army, less than one hundred orpnejiunure.l and utv thousand strong, that might be sent to attack it. rortunately, however, Columbus can bo reduced, as wo b.'licvc, without the necessity of ...... ...... n, tt fnermrtohlr. wnrk.. U"S- " "...1..1 . n,lr,.,l nml tf ,it,.o-iinir n r?un at its formidable works. In speaking of Columbus, wo refer to tho fortifications and military works of all kinds which have been constructed in tlio vicinity. The town itself is a place which, in ordinary times, numbers from one thousand to twelve hundred inhabitants and is built upon low ground, sloping gradually to tho river bank. Jt is about twenty miles below Cairo, and, by railroad, ono hundred and fifty miles aboveMcm nlils Tho town is situated in a heavily timbered region, and protected on tho north by a janfje of limcstono bluffs along tho river, ranging in height from fifteen to seventy-five feet, flanked at their base by a strip of low land between them and the river, which overflows in times of high water. These bluffs disappear in roll ing hills, the trees and brushwood upon which have been cut down between the upper jntrench mcnts and n rifle pit moro than a mile in length. The upper intrenebments commence opposite the place where the noted chain was stretched acrois the river, and where a masked battery is placed. Above them tho ground is low, wet and marshy, sometimes completely overflowed, lie low the upper rifle pit the ground is elevated, and upon the highest bluffs is a strong Hork mounting between !! and 30 heavy pieces 91 a:id 32-poundcr8. In the rear, and somewhat south of this fort, is a triangular redoubt moun ting about six rilled cannon and eight or ten eleven-inch shell guns. Uctw een this work and the river the rebel troops arc principally en camped, an intrcnchnient extending from the town northward and protected by a mortar bat tery. The Mobile and Ohio railroad enters tho lower part of Columbus proper through an ex cavation fifteen feet deep, wnicli thus increases the natural defenses. Another line of intreneb ments extends east from tho town, and on the bluffs opposite Wolf Island there is a fort in which there ore about twenty heav pieces of ordnance. There arc also other bastions, lun ettes nnd fortalices conimaudiir; the approach es on the cast, the whole muking a display of not far from eighty cannon, independent of field artillery. Scores of acres of timber has been felled, forming a heavy abattis, encircling three sides. The number of the rebel troops at Columbus at the present time is not accurately known to any except those who claim the lifjlit to know. Forty thousand is the figuro that has usually been put down, but there is reason to believe that this is a great exaggeration. Indeed, it is difficult to see, if there were as many men there us some have supposed, why some effort was not mado to reinforce Fort Donelson in the hour of its severe trial. Until some better proof is offered than the statement of interested parties, we shall be hard to convince that there were more than twenty thousand Secession Boldiers, if so many, at Columbus. Wo have spoken of the natural and artificial strength of this "Manassas of the West" the place where according to the New Orleans Delta, if the field be lot all is lost to the Con federate cause. Yet, spite of all the labor and means that have been expended to impede the march of the Union forces upon Memphis and New Orleans. Columbus must and will fall, and, in our opinion, very soon. If not volun tarily evacuated, it will be inestedaiul staned out, and a Memphis paper, in warning its read ers of the danger, tells us how this may be ac complished. It will be necessary to extend strong lines from Putney's Bend, ten miles above Columbus, to Melbourne, a point twelve miles from the river, and thence to Clinton, which is only four miles from the Mobile and Ohio llailroad, thus cutting off all land com munication. A successful movement against. Js'ew Madrid will obtain control of the river be low and the only thing then to bu donu is to wait for the rebels to consume whatever stock of provisions they have at the time of the scige, or come out of their intrenchmcnts to fight against far superior odds. Hut we do not think Gen. l'olk will delay until Gen. Grant can surround him mid put in to operation this plan which the Memphis jour nal has kindly furnished, or a better one of Gen. Halleck's or his own. Just now Memphis itself is in rather too great a peiil for the liish op to tarry at Columbus. Ho will abandon his work at the latter place and at Hickman and Union City and Fort I'illow, nnd taking what traps he can conveniently pack up. turn his faco towards the South and begin his backward march. It is even a little questionable whether he will be permitted to transport his men in that direction by boat or railroad, unless his reverence is very speedy about it. But it will all be developed in time. l'SALMS AND PSALMODY. There can bo nothing moro disagreeable to the ear, nnd more disgraceful to the house of God, than to hear a good paslm or paiaphrase sung to an inapposite tune. As psalmody is an important part of public worship, precentors or choristers ought to be most careful in their selection of tunes, and to suit them to the words, so that the congregation may have their at' attention directed, while engaged in the sane tuary, and of praising God for the heait. We can remember the day when the radical notion of singing, in most of our churches, seemed to be noise. If a man roared along with the precentor, he flattered himself that he was singing i and his private conviction was that the louder he roared the better he sung. Tho consequences were appalling. Everjbody shouted at tho pitch of his or her voice) shrill, quavering cries, howls, and deep bass groans rose tumultuouBly together; nnd over all, the precentor, with stentorian lungs, attempted cither to drown the wild discord, or reduce it to semtthing like harmony. It is well for us that He to whom such praises were sum;, list ens to the music of the thankful heait, rather than to the Ultcoru or the untutored voice. There is another feature that has been under going rapid improvement of late we mean the relation of the tune to tho words. Fifty years nco such a thing was scarcely ever thought of. The precentor who could get through n tune wiuuiui giiing wrung, aim suck ny the samo tune through successive verses, and, moreover, sing loud enough to control the voices of tho people, was reckoned the right man in tho right place) if not, indeed, tho realized ideal, the just nrecenlor made perfect. Many churches, how. ever, thought themselves exceedingly well off when they coum procure a precentor wiio.jl he fell out of one tune, had a knack of getting ensilv into nnothcri or, if he liCRan a lunir metro nsalm to a short metro tune, contrived to cram the long lines into the short metre with out having to stop nnd begin over again. Such a thing ns harmony between tho tuno nnd tho nsalm does not seem to have entered into tho I . t . . !.. l!fl.- nearl oven oi a iirci-cmur tu uuuui'iyv. jjiiut- ent tunes were expected for tho sake of variety but the performance of ono on tho ground o: its consonance with tho sense ot the psulm was never thought of. If a precentor had picked up a lively tune, ho would use it at onco for a phrasu liko "Few are thy days, and full of woe," etc. without any perception of incongruity ) while lie would sing other verses, line "Hark I t'lo glad ounus4" to soma tuno as mournful ns the wail of n cor nnach. Even when tho tuno harmonizes with the sentiment, thero ore sometimes ludicrous effects produced by repetitions nnd suspensions of tho voice. Those can bo avoided by a little ntten- tion, but this little attention is not htways given. Wo once hoard n hymn sung, the second verso beginning with "Ha cnrclh for tlio fnthcrlessi llo Cecils tlio hungry mt, Ami in the pious llo dctlRlits," etc. Tlio tune (''Transport") was one that repeat ed part of the third line. The consequence was that after "Ho feeds tlio hnngry poor," there came "And In tho pie And In tho plo ous ho ticHgiiti," eto. Wo liavo heard of a caso where tho fourth lino ,,a(J t0 8U n t , tl)C ,m voir.CS( nn(j ,hcn repcatcd nnd' firiis,C(i ,y n10 whole cho!rt -f ho 1 resllIt wn8 ,mt t10 went up from M t, b ,ingcr4 "Soml (low sal Send down ml" and this singular petition was only explained when tho choir took it up and finished tho line "Send down sal vatlon." As n counterpart of that story is told of n stranger who was startled to hear nil the women in our churches breaking out, at the end of the third line, with an earnest cry of "0 for a twin 0 for a man" nnd his surpsiso only abated when the choir chimed in, nnd converted this amorous song into the more spiritual prajer of "0 for a man slon.ln tho skies 1" A few Sundays ago, we were amazed to hear the choir of n church proclaim that they wero about to engago in nr. entomological pursuit, ns expressed in the following line of u hymn "And wo'll cntch tho flee Anil wo'll catch tho (Ice And we'll catch the lice ting hour." We have heard a precentor, whom nature had gifted with n bass voice, stnrt the first lino as a tenor, fall into bass the second line, make a dash at soprano in the third line, and come in at the (lentil with wnai we were toiu was a nrst rate counter, but which sounded moro like n solo bv the pit: nnd whistle. One or two ob jections havo been stated against choirs first, that, beinc paid sinners, they degenerate into mere performers, and sometimes may be very good singers, but very bad sinners. ' This ob jection can bo remedied by nil except the in structor or conductor being volunteers and con nected with thn congregation. The best sung churches ho ever heard wero led by unpaid choirs the choir itself, besides, being led by a soprano voice, not uv a male, me other on iection is that choirs sometimes do all the sine nig, the congregation being mere listeners. 1 Ins however, is more the sin ot thn congrC' gation than the choir ) and when one begins to encroach on the province of the other. a rebuke from the clergy should put all to rishts. A Western paper reads a severe lecture ton certain church chorister j and we copy part of the castigation lor the heneht ot the "w waw"-ing gentry the world over. "My Deak Sir: You arc a chorister. Your share of the worship of the sanctuary is no slight one, and woulil that you appreciated it moie fully! Let us illustrate tho point bv calling to mind, nnd placing before the eye, what you actually did last bunday. the hymn had been given out. It was n familiar nnd beautiful one, that saints, long in glory, loved to sing while on earth, and whose spiiits they did not exchange in the songs they sing now. With those wouls before jou, this is what you sang) for our short-hand reporter, whom we had detailed for this express service in the loft, took it down verbaetm: 1 VnW'kaw, swaw, daw nw waw, Thaw siuv, thaw low aw wuw, Wuw-kaw, taw, thaw raw-vaw-waw braw, Aw thaw raw.jaw-saw aw.' "Xow, that is what to tho eve looks liko pious Pottawatomie, and might be a translation for the sacred edification of that lost tribe. Hut to the car, of what advantage wash? Not tho most careful listening could detect the faintest approach to articulate, intelligible sound. And, dear chorister, what you really ought to have sung were words that did not need to be thus cloaked. They were full of the spirit of tho Sibbatb, a very nintmcnt-box of psalmodv. lhese were the words you travestied : ' 'Welcome, nwct day of rest, That saw the Lord arise s Welcome, to this reviving breast, And these rejoicing eyes.' "Well, what did you gain in giving the ver sion which, as stated, has a startling resem blance to l'oltawattomie ? Was devotion hight cned by )our efforts? Why should you do thus? Music should be the vehicle of the senti ment. Dear chorister does not jour vehicle greatly resemble one of those conveyances known to tho traveling caravan, and useful only in defeating the purpose of surreptitious in spection of the nnimal enclosed ? Don't you remember haw painfully futile were your own juvenile exertions to see the kangaroo or some other hairy exotic through a crevice f iou knew tho animal was there ; you were none the wiser for what jou saw j mid the menagerie man was the most delighted party to the tran saction. Now, yesterday, tho poor murder ously musical assaults, vcre similarly shut up, and enclosed from all the senses ; and for tho life of us, we could not have told, by any pro cess of listening, whether you were vocalizing in English, Italian, or native Indian. Choris ter, don't do it any more. Call your choir to gether during tho week, ask the clergyman to give you the hvmns to parcticc upon, and then devoto time enough to the rehearsal, if time bo all that is wauled, to give the sentiment and pious fervor of the hymn as clearly as from the desk itself, while jour rendering of tho music shall bear it higher and nearer the throno than tho reader can, bo his intonations the best tho pulpit can produce." Scottish American. A Hltwr. llov A St. Louis correspondent of the Xew York World relates the following incident of tho rort Henry bombardment: An example of a'mcst unerhumnn endur. nnce and spirit, as related by Dr. Voohries of Mississippi, a gentleman tur too intelligent nnd skillful to lie engaged in such a cause other wise than in alleviating its miseries, is as fol lows : When at tho bombardment of Fort Henry a young Wisconsin boy, who had by some means been made a prisoner, bad his arm shattered by a ball from our gunboats, lu was taken to one of the huts, where Dr. Voohiies attended to him. He had just bared tho bone when an enormous shell came crashing through the hut. Tho Utile fellow, without movinc a muscle. talked with firmness during the operation of oamiij; uw muiii, w ni'ii uiiuiucr went plunging close by them. Tho doctor remarked that it was ircttim; too hot for him. nnd picked the boy up in his arms and carried him into ono of the uotnli-proou whero tho operation was com pleted. Tho only answer of the Northerner was, "If jou think this hot, it will be a good deal too hot for jou bv-and-by." "And," says the doctor, "I should like to seo that boy again ) he Is the uravest little leilow i ever saw." Tin: Nr.w Ikox-Ci.au Stkamt.ii.

The work will bo burned lapidly forward, and she will be probably ready to receive her armament in nbout n month. The vessel has not jet been named. She was designed nnd constructed under tho supervision of Samuel A. I'ook, naval architect lloston. The sides of the vssel, nnd even tho upper deck, present none but curved lines a point heretoforo unattnined to such a degree in naval architecture.
