A Snake Story.—“ During theTforida
war,” sai<l the speaker, “I was in the
American army. One day I shouldered
my gun. and went in pursuit of game. In
passing through a swamp, I saw some
thing a few feet ahead of me, lying upon
the ground, which bad eiery appear
ance of a log, it being some forty feet in
length, and about one foot in diameter.
So positive was I that it was nothing but
a log, that I paid no attention to it; the
fact is, I would have sworn before a court
of justice that it was a log, and nothing
e’t-e. You see 1 never heard of snakes
growing to such huge dimensions, and
the fact is, 1 never should have believed
it if I had. Well, between me and the
log, as 1 took it to be, was a miry place,
which it was necessary for me to avoid.
1 therefore placed the butt of the gun on
the ground ahead of me, and springing
upon it, lit right on top of—what do you
suppos ?”
“A boa constructor," sfti 1 one.
“No.”
“An anaconda,” said Another.
“N...”
“What then, could it have beens,
asked a third.
“Just what I supposed it'to bo-a log,’’

SKETCHES BY THE WAY.
Ed. Journal; —Leaving Madison I
soon was descending the pipturtwpie val
ley of the Wisconsin, mostly in a good
state of cultivation, and dotted with nu
merous villages, from each of which on a
high staff waved “the gorgeous banner
of the Republic, stifl full huh advanced,
its arms and trophies streaming in their
original lustre,” the symbol of freedom
to oppressed humanity.
I stopped at Boscobel, the outlet for
the northern part of Giant county, and
procuring n horse with a buggy attach
ed to the rear, aft or a pleasant ride of
37 miles, I nibt nnd embraced again a
dear mother and brothers and sisters, all
patriotic. I bad some doubt as to the
views of my mother upon the strugg-o
now going on, but she was move impa
tient than I to ascertain tny views, and
I assured her that I was as pleased to
find ler so warmly in favor of the Union
and the conn'ry, as she was at finding
ine an enthusiast in the cause of freedom
The old trees wo. c bending, some with
plums, some with apples, and some with
hickory nuts. It looks old since’l with
drew my industry from it. At the cor
ners not a vestige is left to mark the spot ;
where stood the old log school house,the
first temple of learning I ever entered.
The two old oaks which stood close by
are gone, and the liouso of the friend of .
my youth is fast going to decay. lie is
sleeping near the golden Sacreinento, —
she, on vender green hill, and her blue- ■
eved children have mostly followed her. |
Bur where are the jolly boys and the gay j
laughing girls whom I so often met in |
the bard fought contest for the first place I
in the cla-s, “just twenty years ago.”— ;
Scattered to the four winds of heaven. |
1 wept at the loneliness of the spot. Thus ■
passes away all that we hold dear on
earth.
The crops in old Grant look well.—
There is but little paper money in circu
lation here. What old fogies they must
be to use coin. Returned to Boscobel, 1
and soon was in Prairie du Chien where i
was waiting the fine steamer War Earjle, 1
of goodly proportions, with well furnished ■
tables and polite and sociable officers.
That certificate which I obtained from i
St. Elias conducted me safely through, or j
rather over the cars and bont. I return .
my thanks to the aforesaid Saint, to the .
conductors on the Mil. <fc Mis. R. R. and '
to the clerk of the IPhr Eagle, fortheir '
many favors, and for saving mo the hu- 1
miliation of presenting stumptail curren
cy for a ticket which never would have
had the charm about it which was pos
sessed by the paper presented by said
St. Elias.
To conclude, I arrived home just in
time to see the Prescott Guards off’ and
bid them God speed. Let them come |
back bravo victors, or come back not at
all. Yours, Wxjk.

HELP FOR THE UNIONISTS OF
EAST TENNESSEE.
Washington, June 29.
The city was startled, yesterday, by
the arrival of the steamer Pawnee's news
of the attempt to plant a battery at Math
ias Point, below Acquia Creek—the
steamer also bringing the dead body of
Opt. Ward who lost his life in the un
equal engagement.
Capt. Ward was in command of the
U. S. flotilla, and was shot on board the
Freeborn, while bravely attempting to
cover with the guns of that vessel the re
treat of his small force.
He had landed them at Point Purpose;
they were erecting breastwork of sand
bags, but were surprised by nearly a
thousand rebels, and compelled to re
treat under every circumstances of dis
advantage. While sighting a 32-pound
er, he was strack in the breast by a mus
ket ball. Though seriously wounded,
he continued fire for three-quarters of an
hour. He was then compelled to leave
his post, and died in a few minutes.
Some ol the sailors who were left on
shore owing to the precipitate retreat to
boats, swam to the Freeborn, one »f
them carrying a wounded comrade on
his back, another boldly waving the Un
ion flag, which was perforated with no
less than nineteen bails before be reach
ed the vessel. Besides Ciptain Ward,
two men were wounded, one of whom, it
is supposed, cannot recover.
Captain Ward was a very efficient offi
cer, most enthusiastically attached to the
cause of the Union. His previous ex
ploits along the Potomac had won him
a measure of esteem which renders his
sad fate in this instance a loss to be de
plored.
There is a rumor to-night that a strong
expedition will be sent down to Mathias
Point, to avenge his death. It is impor
tant to our control of the Potomac. An
effort will no doubt be made to get and
hold it.
To-night nearly all the Brigade Com
manders of the army in Virginia arc
here, which does not indicate any move
ment before morning.
Col. John C. Fremont arrived in this
city this evening, and immediately re
ported himself for duty to Gen. Scott.
Washington, June 28.
Gen. Scott received a dispatch, dated
Cumberland, June 27th, from Col. Wal
lace, saying that a portion of the 13th
Regiment, while returning from Frank
fort near Romney, to see if any rebels
were there, overtook 40 horsemen and
charged on them, routing and driving
them over a mile, killing 8 and securing
17 horses. After an hour’s rest the ene
my, reinforced, suddenly* attacked us,
causing us to abandon the horses and re
treat to a small island at the mouth of
Patterson's creek, where we killed twen
ty-thieeof the enemy. We were finally
driven off, each for himself, and are now
safe in the camp.
Corporal Hayes of Company A wns
wounded. John C. Holdridge was taken
was taken prisoner and afterwards mur
dered. Two rebfl officers were killed.
The fight was very desperate, and the
above account unexaggeratad.
We have intelligence of four rebel
regiments at Romney.
Washington, June 27.
Col. Wier left here several days ago
for Kansas, taking with him Gen. Lane’s
proclamation calling on the people of that
State to rally and fill up the regiment of
his brigade, stating plainly that his pur
pose is to put down rebellion wherever it
may be exhibited, and to sustain all Un
ion men without regard to State or loeal
itv. Senator Lane has received his com
mission as Brigadier General. In addi
tion to two or three regiments heretofore
accepted from Kansas, he is authorized
to raise two others, consistmg of twelve
companies of infantry, four of cavarly
and four of artillery. The Colonels of
those two regiments are Wm. Weir, who
served during the entire Mexican war,
and the well known James Montgomery.
Gen. Lane will occupy his sent during
the entire extra session of Congress. He
expects to take command of his Brigade
about the 20th of July.
AVashington’ June 27.
It is ascertained on reliable authority,
that it is the Fixed determination of the
Government to fully sustain and protect
in their constitutional nnd legal rights all
those citizens of Tennessee who, in their ;
devotion to the Union, are now strug- !
ging to wrest their State from the hands I
of the usurpers; also to defend all loyal I
States against parts thereof claiming to
have seceded, and to afford them every
protection against violence, insurrection
or invasion. The Government wilt furn
ish the citizens of such States with means
necessary for their protection and preser
vation, and if believed to be unable to de
fend themselves against their invaders
and oppressors, it will speedily come to
their aid with men and arms, in sustain
ing their constituted authorities of the
United States. The Post Office Depart
ment, in consideration of the loyalty of
I the citizens of East Tennessee, has made
■ arrangements for furnishing them inereas
jed postal facilities. The mails will bere
‘ after be sent by Cincinnati instead of
Louisville.
The Secretary of War’s reports wiP
show there are 300,000 men in the lield-
England has shown no desposition to re'
l ply to our Government’s proposi,tion,.ac'
1 cepting the Paris conference on the sub'
ject of privateering, aud this fact, in con"
neetion with important military move*
inents in Canada, and naval movement 5
on our coast, makes ler secret design 5
j apparent. It.is understood, instruction 5
have been to qur navnl,squad"
son to allow no interference with our
blockade, under any pretext, and , vig

ashington, June 29.
The correspondence of the Journal of
Commerce says the programme of the
war in Virginia, as published by the press
if carried out with energy, will be the
first chapter of the war. The Confeder
ates don’t underrate the resources of the
Government, and only in case of their
success would assume the offensive.
Recent developments, look as though
General Scott did not intend any for
ward movement in Virginia during the
summer.
[ Tribune's Special. ] —The financial
provisions of the Treasury Department
to be submitted to Congress, are three in
number: First, a national loan at 7 31
100 percent, redeemable in three years,
not convertible into bonds, nor receivable
for Government dues. Second, a for
eign loan, interest at 6 35 100 percent.—
Third, the issue of treasury notes of
small denominations, with interest at
2 30 100 per cent., conrertable and re
ceivable as currency. Mr. Chase will al
so recommend a special tax on tea, coffee,
sugar and money, to be pledged for the
payment of the interest on Government
debts.
Washington, June 30.
[77m«s Dispatch,.]— The contest for
Speaker is becoming animated. It is
thought that Grow will be successful.—
This would rule out Forney for Clerk,
who will give his aid to Blair or Colfax.
There is but little doubt that n new clerk :
of the Senate will be elected in place of 1
Dickens, who is notoriously hostile to the
Government, bis removal being consider
ed a necessity.
The last time Beauregard was heard
from, he stated pubi clv to his troops that
they should be in Alexandria last night. ;
We shall not be much surprised if the I
4th of July is celebrated by driving in
the rebel pickets, aud clearing out Fair
fax Court House.
[ZferaZd’e Dispatch.]— lt is reported
that the misunderstanding between Jeff.
Davis and Generals Beauregard and
Lee, that have been noted for some time
past, have occasioned the latter to resign
his position. It is certain that private
letters from Loe to old associates in the
United States army, have disclosed his
dissatisfaction in the rebel service.
Baltimore, July I—lo a. m.
Since two o’clock this morning start
ling proceedings have been going on here.
Detachments of artillery and infantry
have been sent to various sections of the
city, and arc now posted in the Monu
ment Square, Exchange Place, in the
Eight Ward, and other points. Before
daylight this morning, all the members
of the board of police commissioners, ex
cept the Mayor, were arrested and sent to
Fort McHenry. It is said that a plot
has Leon discovered of an intended out
break.
Washington, July 2.
[Special to Post] —Gen. Beauregard
has issued another proclamation forbid
ding the passing of any troops through
his lines except with a pass of Jeff.
Davis.
Another skirmish occurred last night
near Alexandria between the Fire Zou
aves of New York and a party of rebel
scouts; two Zouaves and six rebels were
killed.
It is considered certain that the House 1
of Representatives will be promptly or
ganized on Thursday, and that the Pres
ident’s message will be delivered on that
day, and that there will bea short session
and a quick dispatch of business.
The troops across the Potomac ask for !
more artillery. They will secure it before 1
advance movements are made. The |
Richmond Enquirer declares that all the
enemy fear is the Federal artillery.
Independence, Mo., July 1.
A. report reached here yesterday that
the State iroope, 10,000 in numbers, had
crossed the Manais des Cygnes, a branch
of the Osage river ono hundred miles
south of this place and had encamped
and intended making a stand at that
place. The Federal forces were twenty ■
miles in their rear, 2,G00 or 3,000 in!
number. They had also encamped and ;
it was thought were waiting for reinforce- i
ments. The State forces are increasing -
fast. The information is derived from a
gentleman just from the State < imp and
who also came through the Federal j
camp.
It is said the stoamer Freeborn was
so severely treated in the recent conflict
at Mathias Point, that she will be con
demned. She is a new boar.
It appears the Government does not ‘
