the right pint to look over at 'cm,
just tilted the floor—down I went,

and there I hung, blindfolded, like a
squirrel half skinned, right over my
rival and sweetheart, ready for bath

No wonder that noble brow,
Grows clouded with the care
That presses on his heart and hands |
While he is struggling there.

LATE FROM THE BATTLE

The Yankees buried over 500 ot
their dead at shirley; and left over
100 of their wounded, who fell into
our hands on Saturday morning last.
Our pickets now occupy Shirley.—
Nine more prisoners were brought
to Petersburg. They say that Mc
Clellan is in a strong position at
Berkeley; that he has been Vein forc
ed by Shields’ division; and that he
now has SO,000 or 100,000 men, and
will give battle.
Balloons went tip yesterday and
to-day—the wagon train is still visi

A special dispatch to the tho Mo-!
bile Tribune, dated Jackson, Miss.,!
July nth, says: of
The Memphis Argus and Ava-
lanche have both been suppressed—
tho former for asking Grants’ per
mission to publish the Southern ac
count of McClellan's defeat at Rich
mond, nnd the latter for alledged
incendiary sentiments published in
their paper.
The Confederate pickets arc now
within four miles of Memphis, and
warm work is expected soon. Look is
out for startling events. j p (
Seventeen moro of the enemy’s
pickets were found dead on last
Wednesday morning.
Northern papers are perfectly si
lent on McClellan’s “on-to-Rich-

Richmond, July 4.—Owing to
tho remoteness of the fugitive turny
it is very difiiicult, to obtain infor
