The War.—The intelligence from Gen. Banks' department, during the peat week, has been of the most stirring character. On the morning of the Bth April, at a little distance from Pleasant Wit, the Union forces in advance came into col lision with the enemy. The Federal troops were about 8,000 strong : the enemy largely superior In numbers. The main body of the Union army was not in supporting distance of the advance, and to add to the disadvantage, the intervening c ountry was covered with a dense timber, through which theie was but one narrow wagon road, blocked up by a train of army wagons. Mier a brave resistance, the- Federal troops, o verpowered by superior numbers, slowly fell back, our loss in killed, wounded and priesiners being very heavy, as also in guns and wagons, but the amount has not yet been definitely as certained. During the night, the rebels were reinforced and made ready to attack us. Bally on Satur day morning, the 9th inst., skirmishing 'was commenced, and the rebels were skilfully drawn ou to an open field, in the middle of which rises the eminence named Pleasant ,Hill, behind which a heavy Union forcoof artillery and infantry were ienceated. By 6 o'olook P. M., the rebels hav ing completed their arrangements for the attack, drove in our advance, which slowly retired over the oreet of the hill, our advance batteries how ever creating great lime in their lines. Yet the „ sli my pressed fiercely on, in two lines, exultant lied sure of victory, The firet passed over the knell, and all heed less of the long lino of cannons and crouching forms of men, pressed on. The second line. ap peered on the crest, and the death signal was sounded. Words cannot describe the effeete of ills discharge. Seven thousand rifles, and sew mai batteries of Artillery, loaded to ,the muscle with grape and eannister, were fired simultane ously, and the whole centre of the rebel line was (wished down as a field of ripe wheat through which a tornado had passed. It is estimated that one thousand men were hurled into eternity or frightfully mangled by this one discharge. No time was given them to recover their good order, a charge by the Union forces driving them bock to the timber, where some 2,000 threw away their arms. everal guns and 700 prison ers were taken, the pursuit continuing three miles. Rebel prisoners.eay they bad 25,000 men in the field, and that their loss in Saturday's tight was 8,000. Our loss was abnitt 1,500. Gen, Banks, at last accounts, was at Grand Pore, collecting supplies and reinforeements,, preparatory to a resumption of the expedition. Tile lust account from Gen, Steeke states that he is within one day's march of Shreveport, with 15,000 men. iluerrillas made a•raid recently upon a cotton plantation in Tenses, La., forty miles below Vicksburg, and captured arlarge number of mules and negroee, and carried off W. R. Ain tAan, of Mattoon, 111., and after getting to a safe distance they Compelled him to dig his own grave, and then made the negroea bury him. This statement is derived from the superinten dent of the plantations who arrived here, and can be relied upon. The guerrillas along the river have determined that the abandoned plantations shall not be worked by Northern men. The latest account from Forrest and his band of murderers represents them as endeavoring to effect their escape into Mississippi. All testi mony confirms the first reports received of the horrid brutalities praotised at Fort Pillow From Eastern Kentucky we have intelligence of Union successes on the 12th of April, at Paints ville, and on the 14th at Half Mountain. On the first day named, the rebels were repulsed; and on the last day their camp, containing 1,000 picked and well-armed troops, was surprised by Col. Gillespie, with 800 men, with a rebel loss of 84 killed and wounded, 70 prisoners, 200 horses, 4UO saddles, 800 stand of small arms, tents, equipage, and wagons. From Chattanooga, nothing of special interest has been received. Deserters and refugees con (lune to come in daily. Our pickets have been attacked, and four of our wounded men, who kill been taken prisohers by the rebels, were. killed, after falling into their hands. Some of our wounded were fired at by the rebels, whilst lying upon the field in their blood. From the Army of the Potomac we have a re port that Stuart's cavalry is concentrating at Fredericksburg. Gen. Burnsfile's Army is said to be moving, nut the direction is concealed. The Second Corps, Oen. Hancock's, the largest . in the service, was reviewed, April 22d, by Gens. tiraut and Meade. The display was magnificent. All passes to the Army of the Potomac have been . suspended. Longstreet's cavalry have joined Lee in Virginia, and the rest of his force is on th e way to the same place. There is a rumor to the effect that the Army of the Potomac has fallen back a few miles from Warrenton. Tile impression is, that active movements will not be much longer delayed en either side. From North Carolina we have intelligence' of a rebel attack upon the defences about Plymouth. Ou Sabbath, April 17th, Fort Gray, above Ply mouth, was attacked by a rebel battery on a sand bank some 1,000 yards up the Aver. On Monday thh enemy charged upon the Fort, and were re pulsed. One of our gunboats, the :Bombshell, vie sunk. At sunset the enemy commenced a vigorous attack upon Forts Williams and Wes ton, but were repulsed three times. On Tuesday morning, a rebel ram cam* down the river, and Notwithstanding the fire directed against her, ineceetied in running her prow into the gunboat Southfield, causing her to fill with water, and sink Ylihin fifteen minutes. Commander Flower was killed by the fragments of a shell. The enemy numbered about 12,000, and taut %red severely in the four repulses they had met. Our forces numbered about 2,000. The ram now commands the approach to Plymouth, which pre vents us from reinforcing our troops, who have, been fighting day and night - since Sunday. They were provisioned for eix days. It is conjectured that Gen. Wessel with his brave garrison, may have surrendered, . but nothing , definitely is known. The ram has now all the inland waters of North Carolina open to her, and it is not known where she,may strike the newt blow. A British blockade-running steamer, the Alli ance, was captured whilst aground near the mouth of the Savannah river. Her captain and crew were taken whilst asleep. The steamer and cargo were valued at $200,000. Another transport steamer, the ©en. Hunter, was destroyed by a torpedo on the St. Johns River, April 15th. Pilatka, Florida, his been evacuated by our forces, without molestation from the enemy. A. number of Union families tame away with them. Major Gen. Totten, Chief Engineer of the U. S. Army, died in Washington City, in his 80th year, April 21st, about an hour after the. Senate had unanimously confirmed his nomination as Major General by brevet. ' TEA LATBSTAII we go to press, we regret to state that the last advioes indicate disasters to the Federal arms, both ire Louisiana and North Carolina. • On Wednesday, 206, Gen. Weasel and his forces, about 1,500 men, surrendered. The ene my bad been previously repulsed in seven des- Aerate assaults, with a loss of 1,700; our loss was slight, Gen. Wessel, who gained such die tinction in the seven days' fight before Rich mond, made a most heroic' resistance with his little band of veterans. Several weeks since he celled for five thousand men, stating in the most solemn manner that it would be impossible to bald Plymouth with a lees number. Gen. Peck in like manner called time and again for rein- • forcements. ' • It in reported that the enemy left Plymouth, • and are moving on Washington and Newborn. lieinforeements avi immediately required here. At Washington twb companies belonging to the 2 d N. C. Union Vole. were among the captured at Plymouth, most of whom were - taken out and shot by the enemy. After our forces had sur rendered, all the negroes found in uniform were 'hot. The rebel ram at Plymouth, which came down to Roanoke, is expected to sot in concert with the other rams in the attack on . Washington and Newborn. With the aid of a few gunboats, these rams could readily be run down, ae their seagoing qualities are bad. Cairo dates are to , the 24th.. It seemed to be generally conceded that the results of the battles in Louisiana had been against General Banks, as white the enemy remained on the field after Saturday's fight, Banks retreated forty miles. The rebels are still in the vicinity of Pleasant Ridge. Our army at Grand Score are fortifying both sides of the river. Gen. Banks and Ad sliest Porter are both there. Only five feet of water is reported at Grand Ettore. The gunboat Bedpan is aground there. Prisoners say that Gene. Kirby, Smith and Sibley were killed in the recent battles. Gen. Price has evacuated Camden, Ark. • Gen. Steele bee occupied that place.

G. hiJ DIED—At Beaufort, 8 C.; November' sth, 1802, Dr. OBOROB K. WM.I2II I OOE, yeAngest son of Adam and Margaret M'Clintook, and'isto surgeon in the service of the United State?, in the 26th year of his age: At Ligonier, April 22d, 1864, we committed to-the grave his mortal remains. Ho was born and brought up in the, bosom of a pious family, sad-was well instructed in the' doctrines of our holy religion. - Having passed .tbrotigh a .thor ough preparation for the medical profeesion; he tendered his services to his country in the hour - of her peril. Far from home, and while-minis tering to the' sick and the.dying, he became him self - the victim of disease, which baffled all medical skill, and relaxed aot its hold, until ; the young surgeon lay conquered in death: Being the inmate of & Christian family, when the summons came ' he received all the kindness which piety could bestow. A faithful minister of Christ was with him, and seed long since t own, sprang up and brought forth the fruits of faith - and repentance.' Colored Freedmen' were unceasing in their watching& and dropped many tears viheu .their friend and physician wits called ,away." Officer& and private soldiers did . tumor, ts,hia mortal remains; and after reposingpeace fully for eighteen months in a vault in Beaufort, S. C. they-were laid beside kindred dust in the famify burying ground of Ligonier, to await the call •of the Archangel, at 'which the sleeping dead will awake to an,unending life. . _ DlED—Mareh Bd, at his late. residenee, near Ardistrong County; Pa., Mr. ICHN SHIELDS, in the 74th year of his age. And thus - has passed array another of < the fathers in Israel, some of whom remain unto this* present, tut the greater part are fallen asleep. Mr. Shields was for almost half .a oentnry a mem ber of the Church of Christ, and for the greater part of that time a member of the Presbyterian church' of Union, under the pastoral care of Rev. John Redick, of sacred memory. When, under pressure of the growing. anti-slivery sentiment of the . country, the Free Presbyterian. Church was. organized; he united with a congregation of that body 'in Worthington, Pa., where he re mained a consistent, earnest member till his death. He was much attached to this •Church, and to the principle on which it was organized . ; and showed the sincerity of his convictions by one of the hardest of all' sacrifices—breaking away from the Church of his youth, with all its blessed memories and hallowed associations. Yet, strong as his convictions were, he lived, so far as is known to the writer, in charity with those who differed from him - ,11,;(1 the old Church from which he separated for .conscience' sake. And it was not the least pleasure of , the writer, and of many others, to see the mild face tif this worthy father many times in our assemblies for some months preceding his decease. . He is now, we trust, where no differences sap,. crate the people of God. where they see eye to eye, and where all are filled by the same blesied Spirit of all grace, who leadeth into alftruth. He was a good man, of whom the testimony was, "He walked with Qod, and was not, for Go took him." He passed. away gently and quietly, with a smile on his'face, which remained singularly beautiful on the lifeless elay—the last imprint of a spirit at peace with. God. His remains were laid in the little* , burial ground .of the church of his choice,:-where they rest till the voice of. Jesus shall bid them rise. " Thy dead men shall live; With my dead body shall they arise." DIED—On the 18th of January, 1864,'-pr. JAMES POWER, of Elizabeth, Tp., Allegheny ICounty, Pa., at the advanced age of 84 •years, 8 months, and 9 days. - This venerable man was born in Chester County, Pa., October 9th, 1779; and was one of the few amongst ns whose birth dates back to- a -period anterior-to the establishment of our na tional independence. His father, Major John Power, one of the pioneers who emigrated to Western Pennsylvania when it was almost an unbroken forest, established himself in Eliza beth Township when the 'subject of this sketch was but two years of age. Major Power- was a faithful elder of the Round Hill church ; whilst, 'as an efficient magistrate' and a publio-spirited citizen, he had no superior during his long and useful life. Ills wife' (the moilier of Dr. Power,) was the daughter of -Rev. Junes Finley, whose, name is embalmed in the memory of all who love to recall the of those self-denying and self-sacrificing servants of God, who first preached the Gospel in Western Pennsylvania.- Dr. James-Power,;the oldest son of these parents, was tenderly and faithfully brought up in . the nurture and adnuinition of the Lord. When quite a youth, he was sent to lifferson College, where he completed his course, partly under the' supervision of that remarkable and. gifted man, whose career was so brief and bril liant, the Rev. John Watson, the first President of that Institution. Dr. Power, in connection with the late Rev. Tho Mas E. Hughes, Rev. Ce phut Tod, Rev; Dr. James Carnahan, (late Pres ident of Princeton College,) and a few others, took part in the foundingand organization of the Franklin Literary Society of. Jefferson College. Upon leaving College, he 'applied hitaself with diligence to the usual' preparatory medical stud ies, after which he attended a coarse of medical lectures in. Philadelphia; where Dr. Rush, the prince of American physicians, was .then in the zenith, of his fame. Completing his medical course, he returned to Elizabeth Township, - and entered upon. a very extensive Practice. - He married the daughter of the late Col. Torrence, of Fayette. County, united himself with the Presbyterian church, and became a most active and useful man. He was a Ruling. Elder in Round Hill church for-more than forty years. • Mat some years,Aaving lost' by death his first wife, the mother of five ohildren,he married the dangiter of the late John , .Jask, Esq., of Westmorebtnd County. She still survives to mourn her irreparable loss, but consoled and Supported by Him who has said—" Thy Maker is thy Husband." Dr. Powerl second union "was also blessed with : a large family of sons and daughters, most of whom have married and set tled in life, reflecting creditWpon the. early and faithful:training of their beloved parents. A few years ago, the Doctor and his family were greatly afflicted by the death of his son Thomas, a young man of uncommon worth and promise; and a short time before his own 'de cease, he was called to mourn the unexpected departure from this life of his . 8011,- the. Rev. Francis Herron Power, who died in the service of his Saviour and his country, at Nashville, Tenn., and of whoin an obituary notice was published in the Banner, of Nov. 18th, 1863. Dr. Power did not long survive this great sox row. He seemed to regard it as the harbinger of his own speedy departure. From this time he rapidly declined. He. did not, however,. cease from attending to his customary duties. Three weeks befpre his death, he was worship ing in the tondo of God's house. Oue week previous to his death, his strength gave way. On the day following this attack, however, he rose from his bed, walked about through the house, and on the morning before his departure, he attended to family worship. So weak waste, that he. required' help to rise from his knees. During his illness, he was perfectly resigned. When the time of his departure came, he was ready to be offered; And with a holy calm, a sacred peace, and a hope full of immortality,'he fell asleep in Jeans. • NEW BOOKS IN PRESS BY SHELDON & C • BRAD ATM 29TH A Brilliant New American Novel, Bangertield's • `Best; or, Before the Storm. • Nom. or Asuman Lc►a AND Matttrzas.'

"AB COMPARED VIM NE4ODEONS, HARMONIUMS, Etc., THE CABINET ORGAN IS CERTAINLY SUPERIOR In quality and volume of tone, while its power of expres sion can hardly be too highly praised," writes Mr. Witutst Mason, the well-known Flamm, adding, that '• the instru ments are really so excellent that there can hardly be much diligence of opinion about them." nein instrument! ,4 represent The Highest Accomplishments of Industry - in this Department," says the Boston Advertiser, adding : "This is not only our opinion; but the • Unanimous Verdict of the Organists and 'Musicians who have examined themi Organs, and often submitted them to long and severe tests." 'Sr In commencing the manufacture of reed instruments, More than ten years since, Mason_ h Haman were largely influenced by the confidence that great Improvement in such instruments was possible. It was their plan to accomplish success iu business, not by making the lowest priced instru ments, but by producing the best; and this guiding princi ple has never been lost sight of by theta. The result was that their liielodect, the only instrument made by them for sev eral years, INVARIABLY TOOK THE FIRST PREMIUMS at every Industrial - Voir, though constantly exhibited in competition with others fromthe beat 'stokers. .Not satisfied with this instrument, however, they bentetery energy to the pre:auction of a better, instituting extensive experiments, and holding out such inducements as should add to their own skill and experience the resources of the hest inviative talent In the country which had heekoccupted In this direo- Um. The result was the production and introduction by them of their ORGAN HARMONIUM, - in 1855, which was at once recognized as so important atilt provement ee to win from the liateacluzsetu Charitahle Mechanic Anaeciation the first and only tegZeD Mart4lll:, ever awarded to instruments of this class in, this country, and which elicited from THALBERG, the celebrated Pianist, the.declaxation that these were the Best Toned Instruments of their Class in the World. Still striving unremittingly- for progress, MASON & HAMLUf were fortunate enough to discover and perfect several other improvements and better processes of manufan turn, by the employment of which they produced, in the Fall or 1862, the CABINET ORGAN, anlitstrument which has elicitittan amount of commenda tion from the musical profeesion, and enjoyed a SALE QUITE UNPRECEDENTED. longs majority of the moat eminent organists in the country Lave given their written testimony to the great excellence of these indtrnmenus. and their SUPERIORITY TO ALL OM 888 of Ih‘li °U m.
