The brave Tilghman still tried to ma check. After having determined to place it at some distance above Dover, so as to harass the Federals if they should besiege Fort Donelson,reserves placed in the rear along their flanks. The little town of Dover was comprised within this enceinte. On the 12th, before the closate works.

on Big Barren River, we find another branch of the same: the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which we have followed from the first of these two cities, resumes a southerly direction, and, after forming an angle toward the east leading to the village of Gallatin, it reaches the capital of Tennessee, on the banks of the Cumberland. The other line is the Memphis and Ohio Railroad, which, extending to the south-west, reaches the banks of the Tennessee by way of Russellville, Clarksville and Dover. The Federal general Gilbert was charged to protect these railway tracks. It was a difficult task in presence of such a foe as Morgan, who was at the head of more than three thousand mounted combatants. Gilbert had under his command, more or less directly, his old division, the Tenth, and a large number of depots, detachments and incomplete corps, which occupied a considerable extent of ground, but were imperfectly connected; these forces, comprising twenty-four regiments of infantry, nin

heridan's division; farther to the right, Johnson, having started from Salem, had moved down by Larkin's Ford to Bellefonte. These movements were finished on the 20th of August. Granger's reserve corps, composed of three divisions, was guarding the lines of communication between the different bodies of the army: a part of that corps was posted at Shelbyville and at Wartrace; the remainder occupied Murfreesborough, Nashville, Carthage, and, still more in the rear, Gallatin, Clarksville, and Dover. The first step has been taken: the army has crossed the Cumberland plateau. Walden's Ridge is abandoned by the Confederates. Crittenden is going to threaten their right beyond that ridge. Hazen's brigade of Palmer's division advances up to a point opposite Harrison on the Tennessee River; Wagner's brigade, detached from Wood's command, will follow the road leading from Anderson to Chattanooga; some batteries of artillery accompany these troops.

Lord Palmerston was installed, with all the ancient ceremonies, Warden of the Cinque Ports at Dover, on the 28th of August. In a speech he delivered on the occasion he eulogized the strong defensive measures adopted by England. He said that perfect defence was the only stable foundation of friendly relations with foreign powers. He alluded to the battle of Bull Run as an evidence of the powerlessness of men individually brave, but imperfectly drilled; against an organized enemy. The Times has another editorial in regard to the loan and expenses of the Federal Government for war purposes. It concludes with the belief that the subjugation of the South is a hopeless task, even if the North pours forth its wealth unsparingly into the Federal exchequer. But if the North should attempt to defra

When, in 1588, the much-vaunted Spanish armada came into the British channel for the purpose of invading England and subduing the revolted Netherlands, and was lying in those narrow straits, between Dover and Calais, and along that low, sandy shore--one hundred and thirty ships, the greater number of them the largest and most heavily armed in the world — face to face, and scarce out of cannon shot, with an English fleet of sloops and frigates, all adopted and we make some interesting extracts from Motley's History of the United Netherlands, to show with what effect: It was decided that Winter's suggestion should be immediately acted upon, and Sir Henry Palmer was sent in a pinnace to Dover, to bring off a number of old vessels, fit to be fired, together, with a supply of light-wood, rosin, sulphur and other combustibles, most adapted to the purpose. * * * As the twilight deepened, the moon became totally obscured, dark cloud-masses
