e Yankees, killing fifty and wounding a hundred. Also: Dec. 18, 1861, we repelled an attack made by the Yankees, killing one half their command. I suppose the rebels referred to a time when Col. Fenton, of the Eighth Michigan was making reconnoissances in launches — at which time we lost one man killed, none wounded. Capt. C. R. P. Rodgers, of the Wabash, was Acting Commodore of the Navy on this occasion. The howitzers were under command of Lieut. John Irwin, of the Wabash, and Acting Master Kemp. The Seneca was commanded by Capt. D. Ammen; the Pembina, Capt. J. Bankhead, a Southerner, and well acquainted with all the inhabitants here; the Ottawa, Capt. T. Stevens; the Hale only arrived at Hilton Head the night before the battle, and I could not learn the name of her commander; the Ellen was commanded by Capt. W. Budd. Capt. Bankhead invited me with the company of Surgeon George S. Kemble, of the Second brigade, Capt. Charles E. Fuller, of Gen. Sherman's staff, and Lieut. A

n the third and fourth instant. Brigadier-General Chalmers reports that Ellett's marine brigade passed up the Mississippi on the seventh. The same evening, three gunboats and nineteen transports, loaded with troops, passed up — the last ten boats from Tallahatchie, twenty miles up Cold Water, on Wednesday, going up. I think that most of Grant's forces are being withdrawn to Memphis. On the same day I again telegraphed General Johnston as follows: The following report just received: Scout Kemp reports: Near Byhalia on the tenth; the enemy is strengthening his guard on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. Twelve thousand troops passed Memphis going up the river, on the seventh. The same day, fifty pieces of artillery were landed at Memphis, and taken to the Memphis and Charleston depot. Part of Grant's army reported to be going to Corinth, and down the Mobile and Ohio Railroad--the balance to reinforce Rosecrans. Lawson reports, near Memphis, tenth: Marine brigade gone up Cumberl

is easily pleased! I had more joy in contemplating that first trunk of mine, and imprisoning my treasures under lock and key, than I have had in any property since! My rating was now a junior clerk. Our next-door neighbours, Messrs. Hall and Kemp, employed two junior clerks, whose pay was four hundred dollars a year. They were happy, careless lads, who dressed well, and whose hardest toil was with the marking-pot. I was now as presentable as they, but I own to be proud that I had no fearwas hurtful to my eyes, but they certainly interposed between me and other harms. The passion of study was so absorbing that it effectually prevented the intrusion of other passions, while it did not conflict with day-work at the store. Hall and Kemp's young gentlemen sometimes awoke in me a languid interest in Ben de Bar's Theatrical troupe, or in some great actor; but, on reaching home, my little library attracted my attention, and a dip into a page soon effaced all desire for other pleasure

udinal slots corresponding in length to the distance which each slider must be depressed. I is an exterior view of the lock, and J shows the form of the bolt and the manner in which the rotation of the barrel is made effective in throwing the bolt. The patent of Mitchell and Lawton, 1815, embraced, among other devices, a revolving curtain for closing the keyhole. A detector which indicated if any of the tumblers had been overlifted was patented by Ruxton in 1816. In the same year, Kemp devised a lock whose sliders were operated by a set of small concentric tubes in the barrel of the key. Paper secured over the keyhole to indicate tampering was patented by Gottleib, 1829. At the present day, the aid of photography has been called into requisition as a detector. Two photographs are made from an irregular pattern, one of which is placed over the keyhole, and the other is retained.

One leader would have been best, but we had not quite reached that point, so an executive committee of six was chosen at last,--Phillips, Parker, Howe, Kemp (an energetic Irishman), Captain Bearse, and myself; Stowell was added to these at my request. Even then it was inconceivably difficult to get the names of as man proved --were warned to be ready to give indorsement from the platform; Phillips it was impossible to find, but we sent urgent messages, which never reached him; Kemp stood by us: and we had thus a clear majority of the committee, which although it had been collectively opposed to the earlier plan of an attack at the end of the ance meetings. He having pledged himself to make the proposed announcement, it was only necessary to provide a nucleus of picked men to head the attack. Stowell, Kemp, and I were each to furnish five of these, and Lewis Hayden, the colored leader, agreed to supply ten negroes. So far all seemed ready, and the men were found as

Lt. Wm. F. Baenwell, a young and highly promising military officer of Charleston, S. C., was mortally wounded, at the battery on Colt's Island, near that city, on the 10th instant, by the accidental discharge of a revolver in the hands of a brother officer. The bridge across the Tennessee river on the Clarksville road has been finished, making an all- rail route from Memphis to Nashville uninterrupted.
