MONDAY. NOVEMBER 16
THE TWO SIIAKPSHOOTERS.
10 men wer.tout from th. fire-lit camp
Id the autumn midnight gray ;
Over the quaking, croaking swamp,
To the edge of the woodland still and damp,
With rtfls and spade went they.
A hooting owl wailed cat to its young,
And a picket stood aa still
In the meadow below us the shadows flung
By the beaded tent lights thickly strung
On the silrer-threaded rill.
'Twas long ere the picket mov,d away,
And there was no time to lose,
Thopits must be dug by the dawn of day ;
Said one " We are diggi og graves, I say."
The other o ne whispered, " Whose ? "
With the morning light a column of steel
Moved upward along the hill.
Toward the hidden pits, with a double peal
Close in the front made the column reel
A moment, and then stand still.
The check won a battle-field that day ;
On the morrow the dead were laid
n?ad to foot in a trench of clay ;
But two apart in the front that day
Were buried without a spade.
KS" There is a class of people who
ask why you ''don't" come to their
honse, but never say " do." They are
related to the gentleman who has always
a note to make up whenever you wish to
effect a small loan from him.
A vain man's motto is. " Win
gold and wear it;" a generous, " Win
gold and share it;" a miser's, "Win
gold and spare it;" a profligate's, " Win
gold and spend it;" a broker's, " Win
gold and lend it;" a gambler's, " Win
gold and lose it;" a wise man's, '-Win
gold and use it"
Stonewall Jackson's Admission into
Heates. I was much amused at the
rebel prisoners' account of Stonewall
Jackson's admission into heaven. They
were strong admirers of Gen. Jackson,
and especially of his flank movements.
" The day after his death," said they,
" two angels came down from heaven to
carry General Jackson back with them.
They searched all through the camp, but
could not find him. They went to the
prayer meeting, to the hospital, and to
every other place where they thought
themselves likely to find him, but in vain.
Finally sbey were forced to return with
out him. What was their surprise to find
that he had just executed a splendid
flank movement, and got into heaven be
fore them." Cor. Boston Recorder.
Artcmus Ward en route to Califor
nia. Artemus lectured in Philadelphia last
week. The following are a few of his
hit3:
I do not come here for the purpose of
instructing anybody. I shall not ignore
the little people, little boys, or "little
girls. I like little girls; 1 like big girls
just as welL I do not desire you to re
gard these prefatory remarks as at all
apologetic. I was never embarrassed
but once in my life; the circumstance is
a secret, a profound secret; I know it
will go no farther, there are so many la
dies present It is said the rolling stone
gathers no moss. I don't see what good
that would do the rolling stone. I don't
see what the rolling stone wants to gath
er moss for. As for rising with the lark,
I prefer to rise with gold. Some people
say that rocks are like stones. For my
part I prefer to be rocked to sleep rather
than to be stoned to death. I intend to
go to California by way of the sea; I
should like to go by way of the Missis
sippi, because the way is free! Im
mense applause.
At the close of one of my bursts of
eloquence, one gentleman was observed
to leave the hall; he was very much
moved. Eloquence is liko gingerbread;
you only want one hunk of in.
Those people who deride the present era
wonld have derided Noah and his ark,
although he offered them dead-head- tick
eta 1 might have lectured upon Brig
ham Young. 1 don't know much about
him, except that he resides in Utah and
is rather married; he has a mother-in-law,
which is a good thing to have. I
might have lectured to you upon astron
omy, and mentioned the stars, among
which the most prominent is the South
ern cross, which is a mulatto. Instead
of lecturing on physical culture, I thought
of England for a lecture. I think Eng
land deserves a lecture. I thought of
music Td give my best bead of hair
and it's a good head of hair although,
as the soldier said to his lady-love, it's
hard to part great applause to write
well on that
A young and very unmarried lady
whom I once knew, of about fifty-two
sommers or somewhere, about there,
used to sing,
"My heart is throbbing,"
and I sweetly said, " Let it throb." I
might have lectured on Africa. There
are no rioters there, and there is a gen
eral disposition to see the draft in force.
You will permit me to say a few words
about poiple who put on airs. I revere
Bunker Hill, and sometimes when I am
in Boston I stop at the Revere House. I
own a farm in the State of Maine. I
should like to sell it 1 have a grand
mother two grandmothers and I love
them. Indeed, we ought to like our re
lationsnot, indeed, our foreign rela
tions, except Russia. You remember
the remark of a New Jersey magistrate,
about four o'clock one afternoon, " I am
glad habeas corpus is suspended at last
The old ought to have been hung
years ago."
There is one good thing in speaking
of so many good topics in so short a
space of time, you don't dwell long on
any of them. Like the yellow fever, it
don't detain you long. Ambition is a
very good thing in its way; Alexander
wept, as you, no doubt, have been in
formed, because he had no more worlds
to conquer, and if he were alive now, no
doubt he would weep again and be ap
pointed to a brigadiership. Poetry never
occurred to me as a subject for a lec
ture. If some of our newspaper rhymers
had been hens, their lays might have'
been of more profit to the market. There
were two new subjects which I intended
to grapple with; but able minds do not
grapple in my family. Thosa two sub
jects are Slavery and Temperance. Will
you listen to me for four hours on Slave
ry and Temperance? I might lecture
on Love, Courtship, Matrimony, &c.
There are unpleasant marriages, and
there will be as long as unpleasant peo
ple continued to get married. In all
marriages there are squalls.
Of course, in all marriages you must
look out for squalls. Great laughter.
To me absurd people are most refresh
ing. Among these is the old maid that
objected to a mansion because it had not
a bow window in it. The laugh come3
in, ladies and gentleman, at the word
bow. I am reliably informed that Bos
ton has most beautiful statuary. 1 know
it from what I seen in Rome I allude to
Rome on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
where they stop every ten minutes for
refreshment low, with your permis
sion, we will talk about the restoration
of the Union. I have some convictions
on the subject, obtained in the midst of a
checkered career. I don't know exactly
what a checkered career is, but I use the
phrase because it sounds welL Those
men who would pull the Union clock to
pieces will fail, and find their endeavors
shattered beneath the lijrhtning stroke of
the popular will. Ladies -and gentle-

The Charley Bowen was unable to ob
tain fuel on her least trip Jown, and was
detained 24 hours. ir. ived here at
2 o'clock yesterday nu : ing, with an im"

and refused passenger., all the way up.
She left yesterday at 2 o'clock with an
excellent trip.

sav-
The weather is mi!i!. with intficnuwns
of rain.
Nearly all the boaM; cinnati have
been taken by the Gov. . !nt.
The towboat Hunter ....sheen sold for
seven thousand dollars.
The Louisville Journal of Saturday
says:
The river rs rising slowly, with 3 feet
G inches water in the canal.
The Des Arc. on her first trip to Mem
phis, was full of freight and passengeri.
She had 4,992 packages of freight, and
350 passengers from Cairo. She bids
fair to do well in the Cairo and Memphis
trade.
Capt Hendrickson bus sold the Daco
tah to a Wheeling com pany for the al
leged sum of $15,000.
Capt Haight bought last week, at
Pittsburgh, a new tow-boat, not yet fin
ished, for the alleged sum of $42,000.
The Echo No. 2 was sold to the Gov
ernment, at Cincinnati, on Wednesdav,
for $18,000.
The stern-wheel steamer Iowa, built in
1855, was sold at St Louis the other day
for $22,000. Steamboats these days
command as high a premium as gold.
The severe spell of winter weather
ha has proved temporary. The sun
shines out again, dispensing heat on all
around, and southern winds gently lift
the accumulating dust, and choke the
unwary traveler. ' There is neither ice,
nor frost, nor snow, nor cold. Some
thing very like summer is with us once
again. And equally pleasing is the fact
that there is increased water in the river,
and increasing. The Mississippi is swell
ing above the rapids, on the rapids, and
below the rapids. The largest of the
Keokuk packets are darting out from
this port daily, and there leave our busy
wharf the largest steamers, to navigate
the Lower Ohio, which was lately so shoal
that the smallest crafts could not navi
gate it
In the Missouri, too, there is very good
water say 3J feet from the month to
Leavenworth and Saint Joseph, and com
merce may be resumed in that stream,
by the influence of he warm weather.
Ihe late cold spell nearly put an end to
business on the Missouri.
The Illinois has not been much im
proved. There is 30 inches full in that
stream, aud near a dozen steamers ply
between that stream and St, Louis, hav
ing as much business as they can attend
to.
The river at this point swelled three
inches during the 24 hours ending at 9
o'clock yesterday morning. During the
week the river has risen 4 inches.
Business, it is apparent, will continue
to be very brisk on the rivers to and from
this port while navigation lasts.
There is five and a half, if not sLx feet
of water hence to Cairo, and a prospect
of a greater depth.
The Cincinnati Gazette of Saturday
says:
The weather yesterday was fine and
warm, but cloudy, and presented indica
tions of rain. The river at this point
was slowly rising, and had risen about
two inches during the previous twenty
hours, with a depth of six feet eleven
inches of water in the channel yesterday
at noon. There is a clear stage of five
feet six inches of water in the channel
hence to Louisville. At Pittsburg the
river was falling, with a depth of four
feet of water in the channel by the pier
mark.
Business on the wharf presents but
little change to report Nearly all the
boats which can run on the present stage
of water are now in the Government
service, but it is understood that in a few
days the need will have passed away,
and then we may expect livelier times.
The Lady Franklin passed up yester
day, full of freight and people.
The Science passed down yesterday
with two deeply laden barges in tow.
