departure all traces of his passage are obliterated. It is for this reason that Sherman, far from apprehending the invasion of Western Tennessee by Forrest, seemed desirous to promote it by directing the abandonment of all the posts which until then had seemed to be necessary to the Federals to ensure the free navigation of the Mississippi. Hurlbut and General Brayman, commanding the District of Cairo, did not seem to have understood these tactics. Fort Pillow, situated a few miles below Fulton, after having been abandoned by its garrison, which had been summoned to Vicksburg, received a new one about the 15th of February. Major Bradford established himself there with about two hundred and fifty men, forming the Thirteenth Tennessee cavalry; he was, while occupying this post, to recruit his regiment among the inhabitants of the vicinity. The post of Hickman was entrusted to about fifty soldiers only, Island No.10 to a hundred and sixty, and Columbus to Colonel Lawrence with six h

ity. It was then repaired to some extent and has since been used as a boarding-house. The old mansion, erstwhile the almshouse, has been a silent witness to the march of a century's progress. When its substantial walls were erected our country was engaged in war with England, over which the third George was then reigning sovereign. Communication was so slow in those days that the battle of New Orleans was fought after the treaty of peace had been made. Only five years had passed since Fulton's steamboat, but no such one had dared the stormy Atlantic. The stagecoach was then the only public conveyance overland. Since 1803 it had been possible to journey from Boston to Chelmsford by water through the Middlesex canal, but the travellers were few. Lowell was yet to be. The dwellers in the almshouse doubtless looked with wonder on the novel sight of Captain Sullivan's steamboat Merrimack as it passed through the canal, but a few rods away, in 1818 and 1819, its noisy engine and the

Virginia Sugar refinery. --Operations have been regularly commenced at this establishment, and we trust that the proprietor may meet with that encouragement which his enterprise merits. The outlay of money in the construction of the buildings and machinery has been very heavy. Everything about the premises is in the most complete order, and nothing has been introduced of a second-rate character. The water used in the refinery is brought from Fulton's spring, half a mile distant, through iron pipes, and is of the purest and clearest kind. This of itself is a work of magnitude; but should more water be needed than can be supplied from the spring, a steam pump is ready to draw it from another source. The steam engines are of the most improved patterns, and work admirably. They move smoothly and without noise. The process of refining sugar is more intricate and interesting than we imagined before we had an opportunity of seeing it. The coarse brown sugar is put through a varie

Fires. --On Saturday night last, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a house owned and occupied by Mr. Timberlake, in the town of Fulton, below Rocketts, was entirely destroyed by fire. The building was insured for $600 in the Merchants' Insurance Office, which, we suppose, fully covers the loss. The origin of the fire is unknown. A small grocery, corner of Leigh street and Brooke Avenue, occupied by Peter Schick, was somewhat damaged by fire yesterday morning about 3 o'clock. It is stated that the building was set on fire by some person who entered through a rear window. Fully insured.

Dispatch] St. Louis, July 17. --A military train was fired into yesterday, twelve miles above St. Charles, severely wounding two Federalists. The mail carrier reports that Major Harris, with 3,000 Missourians, is twelve miles beyond Fulton, and the Federal forces, under Colonel McKneil, was expected to reach Fulton that night.

States troops over the road. We copy the following from the Louisville Courier, of the 22d inst.: It was reported at Syracuse, on the 18th, that Colonel Magoffin had 350 men at Georgetown; also that State troops were concentrating near Arrow Rock. There is no doubt that the citizens of that region are almost unanimously opposed to acknowledging the Federal Government as now administered. Nothing definite is known of the fight between Gen. Harris and Col. McNeil's forces near Fulton, where a masked battery had been sprung on the Federals, a good many of whom were hit. The bridge and culverts on North Missousi Railroad had been destroyed East of Hudson. The State troops are "bush-whacking," and picking off sentinels freely. The Republican makes the following brief mention of the worse than infernal atrocities perpetrated by the Lincoln hirelings in North Missouri: The death of Dr. Palmer, as represented to us, rivals in atrocity the acts of the wildest savages of

offering the opening of the prison doors to three of the gentlemen therein confined, subject, of course, to their taking the oath of allegiance. The names did not transpire last night, as the officer had not returned. An incident of the Fulton street (N. Y.) prayer meeting. A Northern paper contains the following incident which occurred in one of their prayer meetings lately. Our readers will, perhaps, feel highly gratified at the honor done Richmond by the distinguished disciple of "Orville (Awful) Gardner," in determining (as he did at the battle of Bull Run) to take up his abode in our midst: One day recently the Fulton street prayer meeting was near closing, when a man in the uniform of an officer of the army arose and said: "I cannot let this meeting close without saying a word. I came home from the battle-field of Bull Run injured, and saved from instant death as almost by a miracle.--I was in the battle of the 21st of July, and in the thickest of the fight

Latest from Missouri. Memphis, Oct. 29.--The Appeal, of this city, has reliable advices which announce that Gen. Price was at Neosho on the 18th inst. His army was in good fighting condition, and Gen. McCulloch was in close proximity, and daily receiving large accessions. Their combined forces will outnumber any force that Fremont can bring against them. The opinion prevailed, that Gen. Fremont was making a desperate effort to retrieve his failing fortunes. Gen. Price's retrograde movement was strategical and his troops are now amply supplied with ammunition, and determined to stand. Jeff. Thompson is in Memphis. He left his command safe. It was reported, at St. Louis, that 300 rebels had congregated at Fulton, with the design of crossing the river, and burning the Orange bridge.

Disloyalty. --Samson Bell, an immigrant from Connecticut, a shoemaker by trade, and resident of Fulton, below Rocketts, was arrested on Saturday by detective Thomas for disloyalty, and conveyed to Castle Godwin and locked up. On seeing the officer approach, Bell retired by way of a culvert in his yard to a sort of den he had built under his house, and though he was known to be on the premises, such was the ingenuity displayed in fashioning his place of concealment, a considerable time elapsed before the officer was enabled to unkennel him.
