McCulloch, of Harrison, and A Donncll, of Charleston, were sworn in. Daniel Merritt, of Cedar, was elected the three Poor House Directors to draw the following resolution was adopted, in tbe expectation that it would have the ef- fect to increase the value of couuty or- ders. It should be stated, by way of ex- planation, that $23,000 in 10 per cent, warrants have been issued in place of county warrants, leaving about $45,000 in warrant* still afiuaU. Also that the so-called Bridge tax, being OM mill on the dollar, would realize about $8,000, if everybody paid his taxes: Resolved, That we cause and require the Trea«urer of this eouuty to pay upon the certilicate of the Clerk of this Board the interest due oo the 10 per cent, war- rants issued by this Board in lieu of ordi- nary county warrants returned, in cash out of the fund levied as the one mill Bridge tax,—the Clerk and Treasurer to open and keep an account with said fund, to be conducted in like manner, as the common county account. Mr. Davis, of Keokuk, offered the fol- lowing resolutions, which, after some dis- cussion, were unauimously adopted : Resolved, That no county officer shall be allowed to purchase or contract for any article on tbe credit of the county at any price greater than the cash value of the same, except in case* of persons in im- mediate distress, or for the burial of the dead; in which eases the best possible contract shall be made. Resolved, that each and every bill pre- sented to this Board for allowance, shall specify each article separately, with the price or value annexed to the same, prop- erly certified to by the parties claiming the same, and also the officcr by whom the purchase or contract was made. A resolution was passed authorizing different consequences of emancipation. He referred to emancipation iu the Brit- ish West Indies. The Island of Jamaica was the only one that deteriorated in ex- ports since the emancipation, and that bejran long before the emancipation. In Barbadoes the exports have increased more than double suite emancipation, and in what are called the Leeward Islands the exports have increased since emanci pat ion some three million pounds, and the imports still more, the result being an increase uf 215,835 pounds. The oppor- tunity is now presented to the nation to try the experiment in this district. He did not ask that any provision of the Con- stitution be trampled under fooi. The Supreme Court had not decided against the right of Cengress to legislate for the District of Columbia. The inauguratiou of emancipation iu tbe W.st Indies did not lead to any such results as the Sena- tor from Kentucky feared, hut the result fully proved the justice and wisdom of the expediency of the measure. He said nothing was more unkind and unjust than slavery—keep in degradation andignot- ance the black race, ani then abuseand de- ride them because they were not able at once to rise to an equality with their masters. On motion of Mr. Wilaori the subject was postponed till toAnorrow. The Senate went into Executive session, after which it adjourned. KOBXKTSOK A Mttl lcEh, IS EW FISH.

But » ft seems ig tbe best fought engagement of the war thus far to be styled on the page of history. We say best fought for the reason that wo have superb gen- eralship combined with superb fight- ing. Hitherto tacties on the field of battle have played a small part in securing us a victory. Our success in almost every instance has been due to the hard fighting of the rank and file. Certainly so at Drainesvillc, at Mill Springs, at Roanoke, at Donelson. Perhaps in all these eases the positions and circumstances hardly gave the chance for any superior and dif- ficult maneuvering. But no valor of the soldiers could have achieved the victory in this three day's battle in Arkansas, sgainst overwhelming numbers, without the most consummate skill upon the part of the generals. The official report of General Curtis appears in another col- uimi. His force was att-aeked by—tour combined armies. He had to change bis line of battle no less than three times to meet the surging columns of his antago- nists. The final position of the rebels was in the are of a circle, threatening to inclose our gallant force ; but a general infantry charge at the opportune instant broke their lines, and threw them into a complete rout. General Sigel, who has «1 ready won signal distinction by his dis- play of science, contributed largely to this glorious issue. The official report of General Curtis is brief and modest, and we must wait for full accounts before we can fully appreciate this engagement.*— But we know that Pea Ilidge is "one of the names Illat were not born to dia.'—rN Y.

Several of our low# boys who were wounded at the battle of Fort Donelson were brought up on the HaxmUwl Cit> yeaterday.

The tlti BeflHiciit tMl«. Yesterday was a disagreeable, •torniy,

gloomy day, the rain, at intervals, coming down freely. It was a bad day for the departure of the 15th, but at 3 p m. they marched down to the boat, escorted by the 17th, and a larp® number of friends and citizens. At 4 o'clock all hands be­ing on board the Jeaonie Deans, she slowly swung round and departed amid the hearty cheers of the spectators. Many sad hearts were left behind, but every one felt tkat^ if £*©r tbe 15th hits the oppor­tunity, it will give a good account of it self, and inscribe its name high on the roll of fame.

E. S. McCulloch, of Harrison, and A Donncll, of Charleston, were sworn in.

Daniel Merritt, of Cedar, was elected the three Poor House Directors to draw

the following resolution was adopted, in tbe expectation that it would have the ef­fect to increase the value of couuty or­ders. It should be stated, by way of ex­planation, that $23,000 in 10 per cent, warrants have been issued in place of county warrants, leaving about $45,000 in warrant* still afiuaU. Also that the so-called Bridge tax, being OM mill on the dollar, would realize about $8,000, if everybody paid his taxes:

Resolved, That we cause and require the Trea«urer of this eouuty to pay upon the certilicate of the Clerk of this Board the interest due oo the 10 per cent, war­rants issued by this Board in lieu of ordi­nary county warrants returned, in cash out of the fund levied as the one mill Bridge tax,—the Clerk and Treasurer to open and keep an account with said fund, to be conducted in like manner, as the common county account.

Mr. Davis, of Keokuk, offered the fol­lowing resolutions, which, after some dis­cussion, were unauimously adopted :

Resolved, That no county officer shall be allowed to purchase or contract for any article on tbe credit of the county at any price greater than the cash value of the same, except in case* of persons in im­mediate distress, or for the burial of the dead; in which eases the best possible contract shall be made.

Resolved, that each and every bill pre­sented to this Board for allowance, shall specify each article separately, with the price or value annexed to the same, prop­erly certified to by the parties claiming the same, and also the officcr by whom the purchase or contract was made.

A resolution was passed authorizing

different consequences of emancipation. He referred to emancipation iu the Brit­ish West Indies. The Island of Jamaica was the only one that deteriorated in ex­ports since the emancipation, and that bejran long before the emancipation. In Barbadoes the exports have increased more than double suite emancipation, and in what are called the Leeward Islands the exports have increased since emanci pat ion some three million pounds, and the imports still more, the result being an increase uf 215,835 pounds. The oppor­tunity is now presented to the nation to try the experiment in this district. He did not ask that any provision of the Con­stitution be trampled under fooi. The Supreme Court had not decided against the right of Cengress to legislate for the District of Columbia. The inauguratiou of emancipation iu tbe W.st Indies did not lead to any such results as the Sena­tor from Kentucky feared, hut the result fully proved the justice and wisdom of the expediency of the measure. He said nothing was more unkind and unjust than slavery—keep in degradation andignot-ance the black race, ani then abuseand de­ride them because they were not able at once to rise to an equality with their masters. On motion of Mr. Wilaori the subject was postponed till toAnorrow.

The Senate went into Executive session, after which it adjourned.

. Tfce Battle at Pea R14(e. '•Ifiuebus, what a name!" But » ft

seems ig tbe best fought engagement of the war thus far to be styled on the page of history. We say best fought for the reason that wo have superb gen­eralship combined with superb fight­ing. Hitherto tacties on the field of battle have played a small part in securing us a victory. Our success in almost every instance has been due to the hard fighting of the rank and file. Certainly so at Drainesvillc, at Mill Springs, at Roanoke, at Donelson. Perhaps in all these eases the positions and circumstances hardly gave the chance for any superior and dif­ficult maneuvering. But no valor of the soldiers could have achieved the victory in this three day's battle in Arkansas, sgainst overwhelming numbers, without the most consummate skill upon the part of the generals. The official report of General Curtis appears in another col-uimi. His force was att-aeked by—tour combined armies. He had to change bis line of battle no less than three times to meet the surging columns of his antago­nists. The final position of the rebels was in the are of a circle, threatening to inclose our gallant force ; but a general infantry charge at the opportune instant broke their lines, and threw them into a complete rout. General Sigel, who has «1 ready won signal distinction by his dis­play of science, contributed largely to this glorious issue. The official report of General Curtis is brief and modest, and we must wait for full accounts before we can fully appreciate this engagement.*— But we know that Pea Ilidge is "one of the names Illat were not born to dia.'—rN Y. World. L

"lKanaaaae la Hlaae*** -1(3^4 tho 11th of ldarch the news was

sent over the country that the rebels had evacuated, and that our troops occupind, Manassas. In the Book of Common Prayer, in the Psalter for the evening of the 11th, in the 7lL v«IB« we read:

"Gil<pd is mine, and MANASSBS is MINK, Ephraim also is the strength of my head. Judah is my lawgiver."
