Looking up the river, after the boats had one by one taken their places, a great dense column of smoke, extending far as the eye could reach, marked the sinuosities of the stream and hung in the air like a pall. It was, indeed, a sight never to be forgotten. The advance (Forty-sixth Ohio, Colonel Worthington) landed at Savannah, March 10, 1862. the capital of Hardin County, on the eastern bank of the stream, and took military possession of the place. General Smith, whose headquarters were on the steamer Leonora, immediately sent out scouts in the direction of Corinth, where Beauregard was straining every nerve to concentrate an army to oppose this formidable movement. Their reports satisfied him that the Confederates were not then more than ten thousand strong in his front, and that their capture or dispersion would be an. easy matter. He hoped to be al

General Beauregard, Commanding: General: I had 13 men desert last night from the Twenty-third Tennessee Regiment. These men are from Lawrence County, which joins Hardin County, in which the battle of Shiloh was fought. It seems probable that they have made their way to the enemy. I have thought this fact of sufficient importance to communicate it at once. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. J. Hardee, Major-General. May 13, 1862.

ubtless add many visitors to the park. The Commissioners have recommended this, naming Corinth as the point, and a bill is now pending in Congress for its construction. A survey has been made by the Illinois Central Railroad from Jackson, Tenn., by way of the park to Tuscumbia. If this is built it will help the present facilities; but even with this railroad, there should be a wagon road. The park was established by an act of Congress, approved December 27, 1894, and lies wholly in Hardin county, on the west bank of the Tennessee river. The Secretary of War appointed as Commissioners, Colonel Cornelius Cadle, of Cincinnati, for the Army of the Tennessee, Chairman; General Don Carlos Buell, of Paradise, Ky., for the Army of Ohio; Colonel Robert F.

They were met by a large number of the citizens of Elizabeth town, with a Southern flag, and escorted to town amid the cheers of the populace and the smiles and heartfelt greeting of the ladies, to Haycraft's Hotel, where they took dinner, p

Crime and Retribution. --In the Galveston Civilian, of the 3d; we find the following: "An outrageous and cold-blooded scheme of robbery and murder has been developed and punished in Hardin county. Three men, named Willis, Magins, and Chesher, formed a plan to rob and murder a citizen named Dark, residing on Batson's prairie, and proceeded to the house for the purpose. Chesher commenced the attack by raising a gun to shoot Dark. The latter knocked the gun aside, and the discharge wounded his wife, though not seriously. He then seized a gun and shot Chesher dead. A faithful negro man of Dark's then came to the assistance of his master, but was shot and badly wounded by one of the remaining robbers. Dark having another loaded gun at hand, succeeded in putting them to flight. The alarm being given, a company from liberty turned out, caught Magins in Hardin, and Willis in Jasper county, and hung them both. They confessed that it was their intention to kill the whole of D
