s was eight men killed and thirty wounded, and that of the Confederates was about forty killed and as many wounded. The Nationals moved forward the next morning in search of foes, but were disappointed. They encamped at Curran, in Stone County, twenty-six miles from Springfield, and remained in that vicinity until the next day, when General Lyon called a council of officers, The officers called into the council were Brigadier-General Sweeney, Colonel Sigel, Majors Schofield, Shepherd, Conant, and Sturgis, and Captains Totten and Schaeffer. and it was determined to return to Springfield. The army moved in that direction on the following morning, August 4, 1861. and reached Springfield on the 6th. Correspondence of the New York World and Herald; Life of General Lyon, by Dr. Woodward, pages 297 to 801, inclusive. The events of the past few days had given great encouragement to both officers and men. The affair at Dug Springs impressed General McCulloch (a part of whose colu

nglish souls is just the proceeding which would naturally commend itself to Murdstone and Quinion; and the way in which Mr. Conant justifies and applauds the proceeding, and continues to justify and applaud it, in disregard of all that one may say, ach Murdstone and Quinion, after regulating copyright in the American fashion, would wish and expect to be backed up. In Mr. Conant they have a treasure: illi robber et es triplex, indeed. And no doubt a few Americans, highly civilized individuals, hopping backwards and forwards over the Atlantic, much disapprove of these words and works of Mr. Conant and his constituents. But can there be constant groups of children of light, joined in an elegant order, everywhere throughout the Union? for, iir sense of delicacy, and even their sense of the ridiculous, be too strong, even in this very matter of copyright, for Mr. Conant and his constituents? But on the creation and propagation of such groups the civilized life of America depends for i

g range. Attention is called to the facts stated: no house burned, but some penetrated. I believe that the mortar fleet experiment in warlike operations begun and has ended with Porter. To show the opinion of Admiral Farragut as to the cause of the surrender of Forts Jackson and St. Philip, it may not be uninteresting to append the following letter:-- U. S. Flag Ship Hartford, at anchor off New Orleans, May 1, 1862. Dear General:--I have received your communication sent by Captain Conant of the Thirty-First Massachusetts Regiment, for which please accept my sincere thanks. It affords me no little gratification that our friends who were anxiously looking on should consider that we had not only performed our duty, but, did it brilliantly, and to the admiration of our associates in arms, who watched our movements with the feelings of military men who knew that on the result depended their own success in gaining a foothold on the enemy's soil.

y-light. At about four o'clock in the morning three rebel gunboats — the Oregon, Pamlico, and Carondelet — came down from Lake Borgne, without showing any lights, and opened fire on our gunboats. While the Oregon and Pamlico engaged the New-London and Jackson, the Carondelet (a new boat carrying seven guns) ran within a thousand yards of the Lewis, and commenced firing shells into her. Two of the shells struck the Lewis, one of them passing through the officers' cabin, slightly wounding Capt. Conant, of the Thirty-first Massachusetts, who was present as a volunteer, and the other passing through the smoke-stack. For some little time the Lewis could do nothing to extricate herself from her perilous position, as for some reason, her anchor would not come up. Capt. Jones, the navigator of the steamer, got an axe and cut the cable, and the Lewis swung into a position, where she could bring the two six-pounder steel rifled Sawyer guns that had been placed on her, to bear on the Carondele

ring and to conquer. The flag party cheered the troops, who lustily returned the compliment. American flags are now quite thick on the street, and secessionists are nowhere. As usual, the traitors had destroyed the telegraphic communication with the East, and I have therefore been unable to transmit the news of our victory. The gallant bearing of our men is the subject of constant remark and praise from the officers, while Colonel Blair, Lieutenant-Colonel Andrews, Adjutant Hascock, Major Conant, and many others, won golden opinions from the soldiers for their fearless and determined behavior. There were two men killed on our side — Jacob Kiburz, commissary of Company B, Second regiment, who kept a segar manufactory on Second street, St. Louis, between Plum and Poplar, and M. N. Coolidge, of Company H, First regiment. Nine of our men were wounded, but few of them severely. One man is also missing, who was known to have been badly shot. Thos.

cery March 23, 1628-9, Mr. Thomas Goffe being chosen and sworn deputy governor at the same time. June 20th Endicott, commissioned as agent of the patentees, sailed with a small party to take charge for the new company of the old station at Naumkeag. Called by the natives Naemkecke, by our Royal King Charles, Bastable; but now by the planters, Salem.—Capt. John Smith, 1631. Those on the spot disputed their claim at first, but the matter was amicably adjusted by the prudent moderation of Mr. Conant, agent before for the Dorchester merchants, Hubbard, 1680. and the place took the name of Salem, the Hebrew name for peaceful. Palfrey. All told their numbers were not much above fifty or sixty persons. From the Charlestown records it appears that an exploring party from this small colony began a settlement at Mishawum, now Charlestown, before the winter of this year set in. The new Dorchester Company had been successful in procuring the grant of lands, but it had no corporate po
