Amoruing, the Rebel Gen. Forrest attacked
Tort Pillow. ,Soon after the attack For

while disposing of his force so as to gain
ihe'advantagii. .Our forces were under
command of Major Booth of the 13th
Tennessee (U. S.) Heavy Artillery, for•
merly of the Ist Alabama Cavalry. The
flag of truce was refused, and the fight
ing resumed. Afterward a second flag
came in, which was also refused. Both
flags save the Rebels the advantage of
gaining new positions. The battle was
kept up until 3 p. ut., When Major Booth
was killed and Major Bradford took com
mand. The Rebels note came in swarms
vver our troops, compelling them to sur
render. Immediately upon the surrender
,ensued a scene which utterly baffles de
Up to that time comparatively
few of our men had been
satiate as fiends,- bloodthirsty as devils
incarnate, the Confederates commenced
an indiscriminate butchery of whites and
blacks, including those of both colors who
bad been 'previously wounded. The black
soldiers, becoming demoralized, rushed to
the rear, the white officers having thrown
down their arms. Both white and black
.were bayonetted, shot, or sabred. Even
dead bodies were horribly, mutilated, and
children of seven and eight years and sev
eral ,negro women killed in cold blood.
Soldiers unable to speak from wounds
were shot dead, and their bodieS rolled
down the banks into the river. The dead
and wounded negrues were piled ink heaps
and burne.t, and several citizens who had
joined our forces for protection were killed
ur wounded. Out of the• garrison of 600
but 200 remained alive Among: our
dead officers are Capt. Bradford, Bleats.
Rurr, Ackersbroiu, . Wilson, Revel, and
Llooth, all of the 13th Tennessee
Cavalry. Major Bradford was captured,
but is said to have escaped; it is feared,
however, that he has been killed. The
steamer Platte Valley came up at about
Si o'clock and was hailed by the Rebels
under a flag of truce. Men were sent
ashore to bury the dead and talee aboard
Rua h of the wounded as the enemy bad
allowed to live. Filty.seven were taken
aboard, including seven or eight colored.
Eight died on the way up. The steamer
'rrived here this evening, and was imme
diately sent to the Mound City Hospital
to discharge her suffering cargo. Six
cons were captured by the Rebels and
carried uff, including two 10-pound Par
rotts.and two 12 pound howtzers. A large!
amount of stores was destroyed or Carried I
away. The intention of the Rebels seemed
to bekto evacuate the place and move on
toward Memphis.

Origin of thO litat In lIIInOis.
The origin of the copperhead riot in
Illinois is explairied by a correspondent!
of tho phice g o :7'ribune,-writing from
Mattoon, April 1. According to this
account the outbreak was a scheme to
drive out the few soldiers stationed in the l
toWn of Charleston. The writer says : I
:. "About nine or ten o'clock on Monday
1
morning one William G. Hart, formerly
aciiog Provost-3.ldrshal, had a difficulty
!with a copperheag,
.in which the 'latter
teame,out second best. - He went and told
life story to his brethren, and they, see
ink that the soldiers were very few and
unarmed, determined after consultation
to clean them out.! In order to do- this
one Nelson Wells, ii big, burly 'butternut'
was commissioned sto set the ball rolling.
Acting under thiiiorder, he Went stalking
!around like Paddy at 'Donnybrook fair,
'asking for some on:e to tread on his coat
tail. ; In the !meantime the court had
been; opened by Judge Constable, arid
JOhn O'llair, the Sheriff of Coles county,
'as attending to the dutLis of his office. I
Jelin R_ Eden, however, anticipating!
what' was coming;. and not wishing to .
! "
10:nil:tate himself, did not attempt to de
liver his oration, but quietly started off'
on foot about half,past ten, accompanied
by one. Schofield, a leading copperhead
and a member of the K. G. C's. It is
asserted by some • that he has gone to
• Washington, and Will not show himself
here for-some tiMe.
"About thremh'clock 'in the afternoon
Oliver Saleo, of the fifty-fourth Illinois,
went up to Wells and tapped him on the I
shoUlder,.at the same time asking him it'?
tliere were any copperheads about. 'Wells I
replied, 'Yes, A- 9 you. lam one',' and!
drawing his revolVer fired. This was the
signal, the reverberations of this shot had I
hardly cased when the copperheads corn- 1
;
tn enced firing indilicriininately among the
soldiers and citizens."
AI despatch to the Chicago Post from
lAlationn says : •
"Alost of the diSpatehes concerning the
Charleston insurrection are grossly untrue.
, There *as not the slightest provocation.
Three days now spent in taking testimony
show a pion to murder all the soldiers in
Charleston. The , leaders were John ©'-
1 air,
.1 Nelson Wells, John Frazer, and
others About one hundred are impli
cated, thirty-seven of whom are now un
der arrest. The, ringleaders escaped.—H
Efforts arc being made in the surrounding;
country to rally rebels, but have failed.
They are believed to have alI disbanded
and fled. A body of two hundred was
reported in Jasper yesterday, going south.
Eight:deaths have . occurred, five of which I
were soldiers; one other will die. The
soldiers were unarmed. All the rioters
came armed with extra guns in wagons."
The rioters bawl. been entireiv subdued,
and eighteen of them have been•sent to
Springfield for trial.
FIRE WOOD 1.7.4 ENGLAND.—The Lon•
don Review has a description of the "Tine
wood," "pine wud," sold in the streets of
that:metropolis. j The writer Anys :
Thu wood is cut to tile proper lengths
by powerful steam sari mills, working
' night and day, and then it is split and
stover]. The suceessfill lighting of a tire
depends upon the perfect dcssication of
the wood as much as anything; this is
obtained by drying it With great heat—
to such heat, in ,fact, that it becomes sur
rounded with a kind of "as ; which leaps
as it ,were to meet the fire' applied to it.
The ordinary fire:wood is sold in bundles
as the reader must be
. aware; but the
"wheel" is. built up to the shape of a
wheel iii the most ingenious 'manner. The
builders arc young girls, rows of whom
,are seen einploied in the factory, each ,
Girl baving_an iron matrix iu the shape
3f a wheel before her.
Into this matrix she drops with the
utmost rapidity s' ufficient pieces of wood
to.'Make the rim and spokes of her min
iata're wheel ; by the aid of a lever the
different parts are jammed close, lifted a
little from the imatrix, and tied firmly
together with a siring. Some of the more
nimble of the gfrls will thus build thou
sands of these wheels during working
hours. Tlie laat process is to dip them
in a:cauldron of boiling resin and the pat. ,
ent firewood is complete., A. fire cannot
well, go out where this patent wood is em
plo'yed, as it lights with the utmost ease,
burns with fury,'and gives out sufficient /
heat to boil a kettle, known' as the 5e9- 1
notnical patent firewood kettle, by which
three pints of water can be boiled in a few
minutes at the'cost of a farthing. % Indeed
a large quantity is used by bachelors and
private families for this purpose. One
wbeel.is sufficient to kindle or light a fire
in any ordinarY sized stove, and at the'
cos; of one penny.
GOLD DISCOVERY IN CANADA.-A
lady in Bridgeport, Conn., has received a
letter containing the following
"A wonderful discovery of gold has
just been made by-some whites:and In
dians on lands•occupied by a wining com
pany, in Canada East. They discovered
a large lode veid, 'and many lumps of pure
gold. The veil was opened again a halt
mile distant, where it yielded equally as
rich. This is thought to be the richest
yield of the precious metal ever obtained
in America, and causes great, eicitement
among speculathrs in Quebec). The new
diseovery is on jat.ributary of the Chau
diere river, anthill' the heart of the . gold
fields."

HUMBUG GOLD STOEMS.-A corres
pondent of the Chicago Tribune has seen
I a. reliable gentleman just from Idaho, and
he says the story about that fifteen mil
-1 lions in gold awaiting transportatibn is all
bosh; and adds that there is not gold
enough dug out in the whole territory to
pay the expense of getting emigrants
back home '
and that all the big stories
telegraphed from St. Paul and New York,
just before spring opens, are the fabrica
tion of speculators to get up a rush of
deluded emigrants.
_Frank Pierce's letter to Jeff. Davis
pledging the arch traitor his assistance
and the assistance of his party in the
event of war betweeii the North and South,
was stereotyped and circulated by the
Republicans as a "Campaign Document."
It did a vast deal of good in the way of
opening the eyes of the people to the dis
loyal proclivities of the sham Democracy.
Let it not be said after this that Pierce
has survived his usefulness. Re proba
bly never did such service,to his country
as when he penned that letter. For he
unwittingly set up a beacon, warning atl
men as they loved' their country to shun
the false Democracy.
A S.F.T.F;EDUCITED NEC4I.O. The
Preskiterian gives an interesting account
of a negro named George, new a private
in the Ist Tennessee Light Arlillery:—

neneeforward argument is unnecessary
to prove disunion to be the object of the
Opposition party. It is confessed. Mr.
Long has confessed it, Mr. Harris has
gloried in the shame of the admission, and
Messrs. Randall, Miller, Dennison, An.
corm, Strouse, who thetend to represent
Pennsylvania, have confessed it. These
['are the gentlemen who voted that Mr.
Harris was not worthy of censure when
he said that he acquie:.ced in the doctrine
of secession, and thus continued: "The

but no; you say you will bring them into
subjection. That . is not done yet, and'

Itentarkable Prediction of
Douglas.
ion. Isaac N. Arnold of Illinois, in
his recent speech in the House of Repre•
septatives, made the following interesting
statement :
"Here I will pause a mometit to state
a most remarkable prediction made by
Douglas in January, 186 L The state
ment is furnished - to me by Geo. C. B.
Stewart of New York, a gentleman of the,
highest respectability.
"Douglas was asked by Gen. Stewart,
(who was malting a New Years' call on
Mr. Douglas,) 'What will be the result of
the efforts of Jefferson Davis and his as
sociates to divide .the Union ?' Douglas
replied : 'The Cotton States are making
an effort to draw in the herder States . to
their scheme of secession,
and I am too l
fearful they will succeed. If they do
succe9d,• there will be the most terrible
civil war the world has ever seen,.lasting
for years. Virginia will become a char
nel house; but the end will be the tri
umph of the Union cause. One of their
first efforts will be to take possession of
this capital to give them prestige abroad,
Ibut they will never succeed in taking it ;
Ibut it will become a city of hospitals;
the churches will be used for the sick and
wounded, and even the Minnesota block
(now the Douglas Hospital) may be de
voted to that purpose before the end of
the war.' Gen. Stewart inquired, 'What
justification is there for all this?' Doug
las replied, 'There is no justification nor
any pretence of any. If they will remain
in the Union I will go as far.as the Con
stitution will permit to maintain their
just rights, and I do not doubt but a ma
jority of Congress will do the same. But,'
said he, rising on his feet and extending
his arm, /If the Southern States attempt
to secede from this Union without further
cause, bait in favor of their having just
so many slaves and just so much Slave
territory as they can hold at the point of
the bayonet, and no more.'"
Errancipation Hit Maryland.
Although the Secessionists of Mary
land refused to go to the pulls last week,
there is no doubt that a' large majority of
the qualified citizens voted, and the result
is extremely gratifying to every friend of
liberty. The people have decided to
tall a convention to amehd the Consti
tution of the State, and they hive elect
ed a decided majority Of delegates in
favor of the immediate and unconditonal
emancipation of all the slaves. Simply
las a matter of humanity and civilizatiou,
Iwe rejoice at the res.tilt, But the people
of Maryland are to be congratulated on
tit as a matter of self-interest. • Slaves
have long ceased to be potable pioperty
in that-State. • In many' counties the
institution has been virtually almost ex
tinct for years, and those counties have
been the most prosperous and progres
sive. II some of the southern counties
money has been made by raising ezroes
to sell to more Southern States; but in
all of them, slaves, as laboring men,
could not compete advantageously with
freemen. To get rid of the institution,
therefore, in any manner, is a boon to
the people, of Maryland. To get rid of I
it in a peaceful, constitutional way, by
the vote of the citizens themselves, is
something over which Marylanders may
be proud and the, friends of freedom may
rejoice. Henceforth Maryland is to be
a free State, and we anticipate for her a
glorious destiny. We Pennsylvanians
can heartily extend to her our congrat
ulations and sympathies. Her great
(river, her great railroads and her canals
!carry to market the wheat, corn, flour,
I iron, coal and other products of Pennsyl
vania. Her noble Chesapeake bay is the
natural nutlet to the ocean of a large
district of this State, Her metropolis
has Always been the resort of the farmers
and traders of many of our counties,
They will go to it in greater numbers,
and with better heart, when the accursed
institution of slavery i 3 forayer extinct.
We welcome Maryland to the noble
fraternity of free States.
,Ca - The Rebels are heaping up for
themselves "wrath against the day of
Wrath," by proclaiming their intentions
to treat all .captured colored troops as
outlaws and murderers. When the feats
shall be krrOwu that "no quarter" will be
given the black ssldier, it cannot be ek
pected that lie will give quaiter ttl his,
deadly enemies. If Ulla barbarism shall
obtain in this branch of our army, the;
responsibijlity will rest With the ch'ivarly

in a recent article on the subject, says :

themsOves (as in Coles Co., 111., for
instance) preparatory to enlistment when
the stars and bars make their appearance.
A SINGULAR fact bas' been disclosed
