SW" This is said to be an era 'of
good feeling; that party politics are
discarded, &e. This is perceived ev
ery day in the action of the Democ
racy, who stand aloof from party feel
ing—sustain the administration, and
throw themselves into the present
contest for the integrity of the Uni
on and honor of the flag with a will
and vigor that cannot fail of success.
All other parties do the same, -but :at
the same time they have not entirely
forgotten their party fealty. Some
of the, leading Republican journals of
the country take every occasion to in
siduously rake up old sores and inti
mate disloyalty on the-part of prom
inent Democrats. -This is wrong and
may yet do more harm to the admin
istration than the powder and ball of
the rebels. We admit that the unsel
fish patriotism of the Democracy may
be some cause for envy and jealously,
but, instead of showing such feelings
others should only try to emulate,and,
if possible, surpass them in the , nobler:
qualities of the.human , heart. Of the
journals thus-411aded to the Philadel
phia Bulletin is the most rancorous;
the'N; Y. Times and Tribune are not
entirely free of the same bigotry—to
call it nothing worse.
Rte' The• State + Legislature assem
bled in extra session on Tuesday week
in obedience to the Governor's procla
mation. There was a full attendance
of members. The various subjects
touched upon in the Governor's Ales
sage, were referred to the proper com
mittees, and a joint resolution was
adopted, to confine the business of
the session exclusively to these mat=
ter& On Thursday a bill was report
ed, authorizing a loan of $3,000,000
for arming and supporting the milita
ry forces of the State, and authori
zing the Governor to call immediate
ly into service fifteen regiments of
cavalry.and infantry, and•such num
ber of artillery. and .rifle companies
as the exigencies of the country•may
require. Also, a bill for the better
organization of the State Militia; and
one, in the nature of a "stay law," to
prevent the sacrifice of property by
forced sales in the collection of debts.
None of these bills have yet been pass
ed. A bill authorizing the several
counties of the State to appropriate
moneys for the support of the fami
lies of .volunteers, passed the Senate
on Friday.
WAR MOVEMENTS.
The twenty days grace offered by
the President to the Southern rebels
has expired, and prompt movements
of military have been commenced.—
A sufficient force of volunteers, under
Gen'', Butler, of Massachusetts, have
taken possession of the Relay _House,
between Baltimore and Washington.
This is an important and defensible
position. It commands the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad to the West, as
well as the branch road between Bal
timore and Washington. It is under
stood also that troops are to advance
on 13altimore from Pennsylvania, and
the bridges on the Northern Central
Railroad are already nearly rebuilt so
that communication will be resumed,
and it will be maintained by a milita
ry force. An immediate movement
on Alexandria, to retake the Feder
al property there, is expected, and it
is stated that Col. Ellsworth's regi.
meat of Fire Zouaves, tram New York
is detailed for that purpose. Harper's
Ferry, Norfolk and Richmond will
probably next receive the attentions
of the Government. Of the more
distant operations, at Pensacola, in
Texas, on the Mississippi and else
where, we shall doubtless hear
. in
good time.
stir It is said that the P.O. Depart
ment, after carrying into effect its
past orders as to offices, will chiefly
confine its action to supplying vacan
cies by death, resignation, and to re.
movals for cause. This is deemed a
proper tribute to the patriotism and
loyalty of the people of the loyal
States, in view of the new and con.
troling issues of the Government.

have any apprehension of a speedy
recognition of the Southern Confede
racy by the Government of France.

stronger evey hour. A deputation

President on Wednesday to assure
him that the people of that section
were loyal to the Union, and presen
ted a document signed by three thou

bad arms they would defend the con.
stitution. In Baltimore the same

Lieut. General Scott'sl4ans for the
prosecution of the War, which have
been fully accepted and indorsed by
the President, include the capture of
Charleston and of Norfolk, and did
include the occupation of Baltimore
if that city had continued to oppose
obstacles to the quiet passage of troops
toward the Capital. But the leading
idea of the campaign is that of shut
ting the disloyal States in, and isola
ting them from the rest of the world
until they have time for reflection up.
on their own folly, and to retrace their
steps.
The recovery and occupation of all
the public property seized by the se
ceding States is of course embraced
in the plan of operations.

The Alexandrians. are expecting
that the Government will take pos
session of the Post Office and Custom
House there. The wharves are deser

be entirely reliable, it is ascertained
that Virginia Of herself, does ndt
meditate an advance on Washington,
'ttl'at . subject being for 'the considera

throwing of troops into Virginia is
said to be in anticipation of a declara
tion of war by the Southern Con

at the Washington Navy Yard on

the most important in the Yard, had
been, before that time, in charge of
some of the militia - 6f the District.
W hen the regular gunners took - charge
they examined the condition of 'the
guns. In every gun a peek of saw

A TERRIBLE OPERATION.—A t the
last meeting of the French AcademY
of Sciences, Dr. MaskinVii'Ve read a
paper on a terrible operation perform
ed by him with perfect success. In
1855 he had been summoned to ex.
amine the state of a young man,w hose

,diaphysis.—
The amputation, of the thigh had been
recommended by several practition
ers. Dr. Massoneuve, however, was
of a different opinion. He Chlorofor.

en orinotts n gith dinal I n cision of 04.;
r ty-fiVc 'cc m eldrs, (nearly forty .four
inches) on the leg ; at each extremity
of this incision lie made a transversal
one ; so as to make, as it . were, a pair
of fleshy folding doors,by which means
the whole bon& was laid hare. The
periosteum was preserved, and the
mortified bone cut out of with great
care. The open :,tion succeeded beyond
'.;;Xpectation. , Forty clays „,after, the
patient was enabled
,to walk with
crutches; and the diseased leo• i' is now
not only perfectly, healed, but has lost
nothing in length, being only rdistin
guishable from the other by a large
scar. The young man is now strong
and with his now_ bone he can run,
jump,and go out,a shooting,as if noth
ing bad ever been the matter with him.
A: Joicz.--On one occasion, two or
three friends came down for a day'S
shooting, and 'as they often did, in
the evening they rowed out into the
middle of the little lake in an old
punt. They 'were full of spirits and
bad played off one or Vivo practical
jokes, till, on getting out of the beat;
leaving him last, one of them gave it
a push, and out went my father into
the water. Fortunately it was tho

deep, -'hut ho was wet through.' _ It
was playing with edged tools to Ven

quietly determined to turn the tables.
Accordingly lie presently begat to
complain of cramps and istitches; and
at last went 'intloors. His friends,
getting rath or ashamed of their rough
funi , persuaded him to go to , -bed;
which lie did. His groans and : com-
plaints increased so alarmingly, that

and all sorts of queer remedies were

er shakilig, with laughing, while they
supposed he had got fever or ague.—
One rushed up with a tea-kettle of
boiling water hanging on his arm, an
other tottered under a tin bath and
the third brought the mustard. My
father, at length, as well as he could
speak, gave out in a sepulchral voice
that he was sure he was dying, and
detailed some most absurd - directions
for his will, which they were all too
much frightened to see the fun of.—
At last he could stand it no_ longer,
and alter hearing the penitent offend
ers beg him to forgive them for their
unfortunate joke, and to beseech him
to believe in their remorse, he burst
into a perfect shout of laughing,
which they thought at first delirious

,S:CAKES MILK/ G COWS.-A. paper published
in Northern Ohio tells the following 'rather
tough story :
A few 'years since Mr. E. D. ' Blair, who owned
a trairy• fern about 'a mile and a half south of El
noticed that one of his cows did not
gift her'uebal quantity of milk.
This continileirfor four or five Weeks no one
being able to solve the mystery,iiiitil one day as
Mr. B. was at work near a stump, in the vieini•
ty of his cow-yard, he discovered two large snakes
about an inch nal a half in d jeweler, and upon
killing them they were'found to be full of milk.
The mystery was sol;ed at once—these snakes
had sucked the cow. Immediately, after they
had been killed she commenced giving her
quantity of milk; but fre'quently 'io the
stump and lowed, as though calf.
SrrtAY MUCKS AND FUGITIVE Srtors.—lt is
