A con traband guarding the "Big Black" and a "proxy" volunteer reading the original emancipation proclamation to the rebels ten miles off, make up the back ground of the picture.

Now, some time after Salmon came to the estate, the waters beeame more tkereatening than •e'Ver 'before,. :Each flood tide reseilighey IOWA:Yds:0o . top of the tower .tlian its predeessot. Wise men, the great geologists, with one accord, affirmed that theestate was 'really sinking, not the water rising, and that my - uncle ought_to be advised by Salmon to take up-entirely new ground. But Salmon, the philos opher, knew better. Had he not de termined that the waters should fall? -And they would fall speedily. So Salmon , in aloud voice, h eardthrough out the estate, commanded the wa ters to fall. The sea continued to rise, and. Sal mon himself was in great danger. He therefore, with the advice of all his wise men, devised a wonderful plan to keep the waters down. Ile removed the tower which had stood on the rook, bright and yellow and hard, and built him a huge tower of paper, which he caused tofloat on the waters; and commanded all men on that estate, when they desired to know the height of the waters to look at his paper tower.—The height of the waters can only be measured on the side of this tower," said he ;-"and let tie man dare to think there is den * 060,000 ger:to the estate until the waters rise to its top." The paper tower danced like a cork on the waves-= , -now down in the depths, and then in: - tho sky; and the men wondere.d hOw to measure the heights of tides, and whether they might ever be able to measure them again. Some of them maliciously and wickedly attempted to measure the height of the advancing waters by the sinking hills and the 'land as it was lost.—But these. abominable men were quickly beaten and driven from the estate. And the _paper tower danced on. , Salmon adhered to his principles the more firmly as the ground disap neared, ; and Soon there was nothing but a barren bill top, where the inert cOngregated in desolation; and deter mined to kill Salmen it waters did not fall immediately.

GUERRILLAS 13"MiC1 ADED IN A CAVE. Federal troops, while scouting in Ma rius county, about fifteen miles north of Rolla, came across fourteen Hor ses hitched near the mouth of one of the unexplored caves which abound in that region. Presuming, from the appeamace and caparison of the hor ses, that they belonged to guerrillas, and that their owners were tonceal .ed near-by, they cOmmenced a search for them. Having incautiously ap proached the entrance of the cavern, they were fired on by the ismbuscad ed enemy within, and si't of their number killed. The Federal troops fired-into the cave in return, with what result is'not. known, and then, stationing;themselves - around the en traaoi, instituted a blockade: 'Bev ,eral hours after Ward the rebels sent Out one of their number with a flag of truce, proposing to surrender on con dition 9 f being treated as prisoners-of -war.
