mon to such weather. Efficacy of prayer. The most remarkable instance of the power of prayer, says the Cincinnati Commercial, happened in the case of Governor Tod, as related by himself in an address he made lately to the Briar Hill miners, on the occasion of leaving Briar Hill to prepare for assuming the chair of State. Governor Tod said: In the spring of 1817, when about to leave home in the service of our National Government, you met on this and gave me your prayers and good wishes for the safe return of myself and family; and I have felt that to those prayers and good wishes, in part, am I indebted for that safe return; for not only did Mrs. Tod, myself, and all the children we took away with us (five in number) return safely to you, but we brought back two more. A Yankee account of Gen. Polk's Bravery. There is no falsehood so monstrous or absurd that the journals of the North do not attempt to make its readers swallow. The following appeared in the

ley county, (says the Martinsburg Republican,) were arrested on Tuesday last by a portion of Captain Myers's company, and brought to this place and confined. They are charged with giving information to the enemy at Bath, on Friday, the 3d, of the approach of the Confederate forces upon that place. Except for this notification to the Yankees, it is believed nearly all, if not the entire force of 1,500 would have been captured at that place.--French and Miller had observed the movements of Col. Ashby's command in the direction of Bath, and preceded them there in a buggy, representing themselves, we learn, as merchants from Martinsburg, and their object to exchange money for the purchase of goods in Maryland. From Bath they went to Mary land, and returned by Williamsport the day they were arrested. Desertions to the enemy from Pensacola. From a letter in the New Orleans Picayune, dated "Warrington, Fla, Jan, 4, we clip the following paragraph: Since my last writing nothin

om a very interesting letter in the Nashville Union and American, dated Bowling Green, Jan. 8, we extract the following: The Yankees have no doubt completed the repairs of Green River bridge. They are also in small force this side of the stream.--They cross over, sometimes a whole brigade, and again only by regiments, pretend to fortify, fire a few big guns and then cross back again — careful to keep the river between them and danger. The latest and most direct information from Crittenden's command shows the same spirit of dissatisfaction and insubordination that prevails above. Desertions are of daily occurrence, and hitter denunciations of the acts of the Lincoln Congress universal among the Kentucky troops. Several who have deserted have succeeded in making their way within General Clark's lines at Hopkinsville, Ky, The vandals at Paducah are reported as having resumed their depredations upon the Southern Rights men of Graves county--burning houses and plundering the p

One reporter's efforts alone I will give as a sample, selecting the victor in the case Having failed in all other efforts to get in, he braised it up to General McClellan and asked a pass. This was ridiculous of course, as it was neither McClellan's house nor funeral, and reporter was snubbed. Off he goes to Gen. Marcy, chief of McClellan's staff, and was as cavalierly treated as he deserved. Round the hoMcClellan's staff, and was as cavalierly treated as he deserved.

oud — Collision between a French steamer and a Federal Cruiser. From the New Orleans True Delta, of the 11th inst., we copy the following: The steamer Gray Cloud, which has been lying concealed from the enemy for some time at Biloxi, ran out on a venture Wednesday and came through the sound safely, arriving here early this morning. She reports only six of the enemy's vessels around Ship Island, although there have been as many as twenty-two in sight from the mainland at one time. Col. James, of Biloxi, who came passenger on her, furnishes us with the following budget of news from a quarter that is now invested with deep interest on account of its proximity to the enemy and to our own homes. On Tuesday, the 7th instant, three French naval officers, with sixteen men, landed at Biloxi and desired to communicate, by telegraph, with the French Consul at New Orleans. The office at Biloxi having been closed, Lieutenant Pradat, who had acted as interpreter on their arrival, vol
Pillow (search for this): article 2
An Unpublished Fact --A gentleman in this city, who was at New Madrid last August, tells the following: It will be remembered that one of the Confederate gun- boats came up to Columbus and captured the little steamer Equality. At that time General Pillow was in command as New Madrid under General Polk. The latter had just paid a visit to New Madrid when the capture of the Equality occurred. As the Confederate gun-boat retreated down the Mississippi with her prize, she was followed by the Unts Lexington and A. C. Taylor. A sharp cannonading took place within a few miles of New Madrid. General Polk, hearing the cannonading in his fear imagined that the United States forces were coming after him, and, hastily issuing an order to General Pillow to fail back upon Randolph, himself retreating on board the steamer William M. Morrison., and left for Memphis. At that time the Morrison and Ohio Belle were all the steamers at New Madrid, and the cowardice of the act was in taking the

: An order has been issued by the commanding General of this post, warning citizens, women and children of the imminence of an early engagement, and advising them to remove from the city before the occurrence of actual hostilities. Dwelling-houses in front of the fortifications are to be vacated by the present tenants, and either be used for defence or destroyed, as the occasion may require. A brilliant skirmish occurred at Boland's Ferry, in Ohio county, day before yesterday. Lieut. Heint, of the army guides, left here Tuesday for the ferry, in command of ten men, and was joined on the route by an independent company from Germantown, Tenn. A number of Dutch have for a long time been stationed near the river for the protection of the ferry, and to aid in the crossing of stock stolen from citizens living on the south side of the stream. The party reached the river at day dawn Wednesday morning and advanced in two squads from different directions upon a jog-house in which t

She was one of the Anglo-French naval squadron, which they reported to have arrived off our coast, twenty-four sail strong. On Wednesday, they returned and obtained their answer, by telegraph, from the French Consul. Since the visit of the enemy to Biloxi, on the 31st ult at several points below. The Kentucky Cavalry, Col. B. Helm, are closely watching their movements. This may not be correct, though the report is just received and from a source which is entitled to consideration. Arrest of Tories. Peter French and Harley Miller, who live near Hedgesville, in Berkeley county, (says the Martinsburg Republican,) were arrested on Tuesday last by a portion of Captain Myers's company, and brought to this place and confined.

mself and staff, and leaving but the Ohio Belle to transport seven thousand troops to Randolph! The retreat was undertaken, but only one third of the men were able to be moved, leaving the others apparently at the mercy of the United States forces. The General informs us that curses long and deep were showered upon the head of the preacher General, and that hundreds of them swore they would never fight under such a canting coward! An Irrepressible reporter. A letter from Washington to the Cleveland Plain dealer gives the following incident to illustrate the desperate determination of reporters to obtain full particulars of every important event: Col. Baker's funeral ceremonies took place at Mr. Webb's. The friends, the honorable, and the military filled the house, and the reporters were shut out. Now came the tug of war.
