At- ter advancing aDOut nve miles irom where the thirl division of his command and the niath corps were encamped, the rebels made a stand, anu our line, consisting of only 2,400 in fantry, formed in a belt of woods with an open fidd in and the enemy in the wods on the other side.

Genera Stone of Ball's Bluff, formerly chief oi General Banks staff, was on the fiek and took direction of the Central Ransom was in favor of ad- vandng only in force, but his wish wat disregarded. After keeping up a skirmish ing icross this open field for about an hour, the enemy advanced on us in overwhelming numbers, estimated, at 10,000. General Ransom got all the available troops to the front, and opened on them. The enemy lost heavily, but advanced steadily and some of our cavalry gave vay and our ihiiiitry fell back, and in a few moments the enemj pressed us so closely, and the panic among our savairy so demoralizing, that the retreit became a rout. General Ransom cid all in his power to rally the men, but finding it impossible he made every effort to save the artillery.

While endeavoring to get the Chicago Mercantile battery off safely, he was severely wounded in the leg, and Capt. C. Dickey, his a-ljutant, was instantly killed. Our loss is probably 2,000.

While the 4th division was fallinsr back in disorder, the third division, numbering only, 1800 men, came up and was im mediately routed. Finally the 19th army corps with 7,000 men came up and forming in line, checked the enemy and held them until we got all the trains off, except that of the cavalry. The whole army is now falling back here. where it must wait reorganization before proceeding further towards Shreve- port. Cincinnati, April 20.

It may be thc spirit of the rebellion which has affected tkis age, may have influenced the other 6cx to neglect the acknowledgment of the law. It may be our friends of tho fair sex, out of sheer modesty, havo neglected to enforce their just and righteous claims. it has been brought about, depend upon it, there has been a woful ignoring of this law. We ardently desire to see the origi nal law restored in all its Justness and grandeur. primitive This' law of leap year originated in Scotland, and we will go back to the old statute which is the origin of the -acknowledged rights of woman, once in lour years, or the reason, simply, that we desiro to be specific in this matter, we quote from the law.

Hero our readers have the very law which has originated the common rule of giving tho ladies the privilege to make their own selections for husbands. This is a just law, and reasonable. We ask any man if he can raise any sensible objection to it? Three years are given, wherein young gentlemen as well as middle-aged men, can give all proper attention to tho important subject of i T1, selecting partners for life.

If they neglect it, and willfully and obstinately persist in neglecting this important duty, we see 'no better remedy than the law mentioned. Let us have such a law in Kansas in Lawrence, and there will soon bo a different state of domestic things. Name Claimed.

To Hon. Gideon Wells I have received private letters from Red river, one dated Grand Ecore, April t10th, and one dated Alexandria, 12th, stating that, the army under Gen. Banks met with reverses on the 8th, near Mansfield, in Western Louisiana. mUr army fell back, and on the next day the rebels attacked them and were handsomely Loss on hnth sidp Admiral Porter, when last heard from, was about 40 miles above Grand Ecore: r.

Lord Shaftesbury recently stated in a public meeting in London, that from personal observation he had ascertained chat of adult male criminals of that city, aearlv all had fallen into a course of crime between the oges of eight and sixteen yearsj and that of a man lived) an honest life up to twenty years of age, there were forty-nine chances in favor and only one against him, as to an honorable life thereafter. This is a fact of startling importance to fathers and mothers, and shows a fearful responsibility. Certainly a parent should secure an absolute control over the child until 16; it cannot be a difficult matter to do this, except in very rare cases, ana -it tnat control is not wisely and efficiently exercised, it must be the parents tault it is owing to parental neglect or remissness.

Hence the real source of 98 per cent, of the crime in a country sucn as jngiana or tte United States lies at the door of the narents It is a fearful rellsction we throw it before the minds of the fathers and mothers of our land, and there leave it to be thought of in remark ing only as to the early seeds of bodily disease, that they are in nearly every case sown between sundown and bed time, in absence from the family circle, in the supply of spending money never earned bv the spender, opening the doors of confectioneries and soda foun tains, of beer, tobacco and wine-shops, of the circus, negro minstrel, the restau rant, and dance then follow the Sun- day excursions, the Sunday drive, with the easy transition of the company of those whose ways lead down to the gates of social, physical and moral From eicrht to sixteen In these few years are the destinies of children fixed in forty-nine cases out of fifty fixed bv the parents 1 Let every father and mother solemnly vow, "By God's help I'll fix my child's destiny for good, by matins: home more attractive than the streets." Printers Locked Up. The printer of the London Gazette is the confidential man of the British Government, and to his care is intrusted the printing of papers that it would not be safe to risk out of doors. When the composing-room was in the cellar of the old Foreign Office in Fludyer street, at the back of the house in Downing compositors and readers were kept under lock and key when 'dixy very private and confidential documents were going through the press.

As the deficiency con tinued, the baker unhesitatingly assert ed that it must be the dog that stole it. A waiter was sent to follow the dog from the shop home but thc latter, instead of returning direct took his way down a by-street, and entered a to a stable. Here he placed his basket on the ground, drew the cloth aside, and takinjr out a roll, he approached a closed kennel, from which the nose of another dog was protruding. Ilis imprisoned friend took the roll in a quiet, monstrative wav.

The waiter made some inquiries of thc porter, and learned that the animal tor whose sake the aog had committed petty larceny, had had tcrnal duties to perform towards three pups from the day when the first roll was missing. The landlady was sotiiuch interested in the matter that she would not allow the dog to be interfered with, and he continued to abstract thc roll daily till his friend was in a condition to do without it, when he resumed his ior mer probity. Hott Tecuinsch Was Killed. The Western Christian Advocate, of a late date, contains an obituary notice of Isaac Hamblin, who died at hia resmence ai, iioomneiu, nuiana, a lew monins since, ageu auuuo eiguiy-sii years.

He was well acquainted with Tecumseh, having seen him before the war, and having been a prisoner seventeen days, and received many a cursing from him. He thinks that Tecumseh thought Johnson was Harrison, as he often heard the chief swear he would have Harrison's SCalD. and seemed to have a special ha tred to word him.

Johnson's horse fell under him, himself 'being also deeply wounded; in the fall he lost his sword, his large pistols were empty, and he was entangled with his horse on the ground. Tecumseh had fired his rifle at him, and when he saw him fall he threw down his gun and bounded forward like a tiger sure of his prey. Johnson had only a side pistol ready for use. He aimed at the chief over the head of the horse, and shot him near the center of his forehead. When the ball struck, it seemed to him that the Indian jumped Willi 111s iieau luii uitccu iccu mw iuc air As B00n as he struck the ground, a little Frenchman ran his bayonet into him and pinned him fast to the 1 ground.

1 1 Albert Pike, poet, orator, lawyer, rebel, Brigadier and Indian Agent, is said to be living within the Federal lines at Huntsville, south of Little llock, in a most wretched and poverty-stricken condition. The retribution of Benedict Arnold and Aaron Burr has overtaken him.
