THE BOMBARDMENT. 1t was then Friday, the 14th. All that day, both armies of infantry lay at rest in the snow. But there was great activity at the fort and in the Federal navy. A fow occasional shots wore exchanged in the morning. A few minutes after noon the fleet of gunboats steamed up the d | river close to the fort and formed a line under a terrific fire from our guns. Then a terrible naval battle cnuum’f. The re- sult was disastrous to the fleet. After and hour's desperate fighting two of the vessels, becoming disabled, floating down the river. But for this circumstance the entire fleet would have passed the fort. That night there was a movement all along the Federal line and it became known that preparations were making for a general attack. There was a gap of half amile between the Rebel extreme left and the river. Evidently it was General Grant's plan to throw a heavy force to this point by a flank movement and close inupon our rear, thus taking the army captive with little fighting. Anticipating this design, General Pillow put the entire left wing of the rebel army under march- ing orders as earfy as four o'clock in the morning. SATURDAY'S GREAT BATTLE, Just at dawn the order, *“‘Forward!” was given and 5,000 men bounded over the breastworks and moved in line toward the enemy. In the same hour the Federal line was advancing upon the open ground toward the river. Just at sunrise the two armies met in close proximily, and a torrible volley was poured into each others ranks. Then followed a few minutes of steady firing, Both armies stubbornly held their ground, and the shots were exchanged with murderous effect on both sides. _Then began the scene of swaying to and fro as each side would successively endeavor to break the d our movement to the front | the same number of appli very much like old-fashioned home-made molass If that was a specimen morsel, the Indians deserve no sympathy on the score of their diet, as it was really a luxury The juice of the plant is also converted into syrup and a fermented _dvink izwin by the indians, and Mex til it, making an intoxicating liqua ed mescal.

Ac: cording todgim, stea has had its day, and a great 'day it has been—a day of signs and wonders, and of mighty changes on land and sea. It may be said indeed that steam has revolutionized the world. t has promoted human intercourse caus- ing it to overleap the barriers of moun tains, which it climbs with its fire-drawn cars; while it lends wings to the great ships which pass to and fro from hemis- shere to hemisphere. Thus it has Lrongh! the ends of the earth together. Tt has set the wheels of industry flying in tons of thousands of factories, and furn- ished occupation for millions of human hands. Thus it has been the greatost permitted to be drawn out of the ele- ments, to be the servant of man and the instrument of civilization, But while so beneficient, it is yet a very destructive power. It consumes mighty forests with its ever-burni; res, and'mining beneath the ground, it literally feeds on the bowels of the earth. Now there arc signs that before many years its place may be sup- plied by another agency, less destructive, and yet not less effective What that agency is to be indicated in an article copied from one of our city papers, which shows how electricity may take the place of steam as a motive power on railroads, We trust the vision there presented to our eyes is not to be alwuys a picture of imagination, nor to be witnessed merely exhibition, but that electricity is to be put to practical and daily use on the ele- vated railroads of our city when the lon trains of cars, which now whirl through our avenues, may be conveyed _as noise- leasly as if borne on wings. It seems al- most_ too good to be true, butso great wonders in the way of awift locomotion have already come to pass, we have full faith that we shall yet see, and that be- | of h y to be 4,700, ““The age of steam is past!” Such was | 7 main in the ditches and listen with a gen- | the somewhat oracular and_ startling an- within the limited space of an industrial | ranks of the other, THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE, fore very ;long, this crowning miracle in the application of science to the practical At first very fow of the prisonerswould | uses of life, strong words wero found: for a fow dollars worth of the Vegetable “We should fight forever before being | Compound and has gone on her way re- subdued by such a nation, though I can-|soicing and praising Mrs. Lydia E.
