CLEARFIELD, PA.. JVSE 26. 1801.
HOW TREASON IS ENCOURAGED.
It was truthful language uttered by Stephen
A. Douglas, in one of the last speeches he ever
made in regard to . oar present troubles,
."That the shortest road to peace is tho most
stupendous preparation for war, the more
prompt and energetic the movement, and the
more important it is in numbers, the shorter
will be the druggie."
In this spirit the government has been act
ing; and in this spirit the majority of our cit
izens of all parties have responded. The ob
ject is to crush the rebellion in the Bhortest
possible time. This is the n!y way to save
bloodshed and give permanent peace. The
great body of the people, both Democrats and
Republicans, feel this to be the fact and talk
and act accordingly. To compromise with trea
son, or even parley w ith it, is to destroy the
nation. Tho only way to treat the traitors Is
to subdue and punish them. The policy of
making any sort of compromise or parley with
them, is a policy to break up the Union aud
disgrace tho American name. Trust no man
who now talks of hushing up this treason by a
compromise with the rebels. If he is not a
traitor himself, he is at least in sympathy with
them, or else grossly misled. '
. It is to be regretted, that thero are still a
few journals whose course is only calculated
to give aid and comfort to the enemy. Of
this class, we are sorry to find the Clearfield
Republican of this place, to be ono of the most
bitter and unscrupulous. To judge from the
tone of its articles, one would suppose that
the rebels could not expect more sympathy at
home, than they receive from the Editors of
that paper. Does our military commander
refuse to surrender up to the civil authority
some odendor who has been arrested in the
midst of treasonable designs ? Why, then,
the Editors of the Republican, feel indignant
they give us an article about the suspension
of the writ of "Habeas Corpus." If their
views were adopted the rebel prisoners need
never foar ; they would need only to get some
neighboring Judge, of Secession sympathies,
to issue a writ of Habeas Corpus and have
them Li ought before him and released. Does
our government seize some old telegraphic
despatches, by which some unsuspected trai
tors may be caught? Then, the Editors of
the Republican are indignant again. They
cannot contain their wrath, but coiue out in a
flaming editorial denouncing it as a great out
rage. How is it that the Editors of the Re
publican ne7cr become indignant at any out
rages perpetrated by the rebels? They may
burn bridges; destroy property; murder our
soldiers in the public streets ; arrest, torture
and hang peaceable citizens, for no other crime
than being true to their flag and their coun
try but the Editorial mind of the Republican
is not moved in the least! Many of these
things are not noticed at all, and others bare
ly alluded to as mere matters of fact. But,
let some Southern Secessionist lose a few
niggers," or let the government take some
energetic measures to arrest and punish the
traitors; and what a bowling will be heard!
The editorials of the Republican will teem with
wrath. Its editors can witness the most hor
rid wrongs and indignities perpetrated on
their fellow-citizens of tho North and look on
with as little feeling as a hyena ; but let so
much as a hair of a traitor be touched, and
in their sympathies they become as tender as
youog deves. 7e fcavo no confidence in the
loyalty of such men, let their pretensions be
what they may. Those who have such strong
rebel sympathies, should betake themselves to
the rebel camp. -
Bodt Focnd. A lew days ago, says tho
Harrisburg Telegraph of the 10th, the body of
a man was found on a rock atConewago Falls,
in the Susquehanna river, near the Dauphin
and Lancaster line. ' The body was very much
disSgured, having evidently been in the water
for some time. The deceased appeared to
.have been respectably dressed, and a silver
watch was found on his person. He was sup
posed to have been an tip-river lumberman.
'Me.' Cameron. -At a dinner of the St. An
drew's , Society in Washington, on Tuesday,
the 18th, Secretary Cameron made a speech,
in which he said that the war would surely
continue till the causes of it should be remov
ed ; and that when it was done we should bear
no more of Virginians and South Carolinians
only of Amcricaus. These words were re
ceived with enthusiastic applause.
Tbo Department of State has given notice
that til passports which may be issued by a
Diplomatic Agent accredited to this Govern
ment, )f by any Consular authority whatsoev

week, indulged J mttch ophita on our artU

make a "bit" by quoting; Luke J, V. '20."
But, from the tenor of the tirade, we Infer
that the "sixsbooter" got a Jit tie mixed, and

TEE 80UTHELU CONSPIRATORS. J
Much is still said, by a curtain class, about
'compromising'? our present difficulties with
the South. Some go so far as to say, "that it
would be better for the country to give the
southern States even more than their Just
rights," rather than not affect a "compromise"
with the rebels and traitors of the country.
Below we print several extracts from import
ant southern documents, to show what kiod of
"compromise" the leaders of the rebellion fa
vor, and upon what terms they desire peace.
Henry A. Wise, is a speech delivered at
Richmond, several weeks since, said :
"I rejoice iu this war. Who is there that
now dares to put on sanctity to deprecate war.
or the 'horrid glories of war V None. Whyr
Because it is a war of purification. Tou want
war, Are, blo-d, to purify you, and the Lord ot
Hosts has determined that you shall walk
through fire and blood. You are called to
the fiery baptism, and I call upon you to come
up to the altar. Though your pathway be
through Are, through a river of blood, turn not
aside. Be in no haste no hurry and flurry."
C. F. Jackson, Governor of Missouri, in a
Proclamation to the citizens of that State; af
ter recounting what he styles aggressions by
the Federal authorities, says;
"But it is equally my duty to advise you
that your first aitegiance is due to'our State,
and that you are under no obligation whatever
to obey unconstitutional edicts of the military
despotism which has introduced itself at Wash
ington, nor to submit to tho infamous and de
grading sway of its minions in this State. No
brave and trne hearted Missourian will obey
the one or submit to the other. Rise then and
drive out ignominously the invaders who have
dared to desecrate the soil which your labors
have made faithful, and which is consecrated
by your homes."
Gen. Beauregard, recently issued a procla
mation to the Virginians, in which he resorts
to falsehood, to stimulate the people of that
State to revenge, ne says :
" "A reckless and unprincipled tyrant has in
vaded your soil. Abraham Lincoln, regard
less ot all moral, legal and constitutional re
straints, has thrown bis abolition hosts among
you, who are murdering and imprisoning your
citizens, confiscating and destroying your
property, and committing other acts of vio
lence and outrage too shocking and revolting
to humanity to be enumerated. All rules of
civilized warfare are abandoned, and they pro
claim by their acts, if not on their banners,
that their war-cry is "Beauty and Booty."
AH that is dear to man your honor, and that
of your wives and daughters, and your fortunes
and your lives arc involved in this momen
tous contest."
As an evidence of the peaceful designs of
the traitors, the following extract from an ad
dress of George Bickley, "K. G.C., Presi
dent American Legion," called forth by a res
olution of the Kentdcky Legislature to in
quire into the objects of the secret oath-bound
association known as the Knights ot the Gol
den Circle, shows what is secretly doing.
Bickley says :
"There are new nearly eight thousand in
the State, (Kentucky.) distributed through
every county, and the organization is growing
daily in favor and importance ; and the work
will bo pushed with the 'utmost vigor until
the tri-colored flag of the Confederate States
floats in triumph from the dome of the Capitol
at Frankfort.
The Memphis, Tennessee, Avalanche, says:
"We proclaim a war of invasion against the
North-West, to the knife. Kentucky will ex
tend to us the passage through her territory
for our armies. We will not say anything at
present about the secret information we pos
sess of formidable combinations of good and
true men in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, to
overthrow the Lincoln dynasty, who are only
awaiting our arrival to rise up and crush their
oppressors."
If the .ivalanche tells the truth, there are
members of that infamous gang of cut-throats
in some of the Northern States; whose main
object seems to be the destruction of the
National Government at all hazards. Iu how
many of the States this organization exists, is
not known, except by those who are "in the
ring." It therefore beboovas every true and
loyal citizen to be on the alert, and to stand
firmly by the government in its efforts to pre
serve the Constitution, and in the enforce
ment of the laws.
The Charleston Mercury ox the Priva
teer Savasnau. Tho Mtrcnry makes these
remarks on the capture of the privateer Savan
nah : Almost every day now brings us news of
importance. Yesterday brought us the intel
ligence of the capture of the privateer Savan
nah, from this port. The loss of the schooner
in times like these would scarcely call for a
moment's consideration. But the circum
stances are such as to render tho fact one of
grave import perchance the results maybe
still graver. With theinsaneand blood-thirsty
spirit ruling the Government of the North,
there are probabilities that the crew of the
Savannah will be executed. The United
States Government have t?aid it the popular
clamor has approved the bloody declaration.
Will their bloated vanity and malice give way
to the milder voico of national law of reason
and discretion ? Will they not go on in their
mad pathway of violence and lawlessness?
Their course up to this time has been uniform.
Will they at this day pay regard to reason,
justice, or law ? If they do not, what then ?
Aye ! what then ? Let one of these men per
ish, and we look to the authorities at Rich
mond for immediate and bloody retribution.
We look to them, and we shall expect them to
settle a strict account of blood lor blood.. If
tho hair of the bead of a single man of this
crew is injured, South Carolina will demand
that the outrago be atoned tor an eye for an
eve a tooth for a tooth a life for a life.
Aye ! and she will have it no more and no less :
on the battlefield, and atter the battle. Let
ono of these, herjeitizens commissionedjin her
cause, perish as a pirate, and woe to the ene
my who falls into our bands. Humanity and
justice, no less than the cause itself, will com
pel to prompt and ample retribution ; and the
sooner this is understood, the better for all
parties to the war. Civilized warfare will be
met in kind ; savage warfare will compel sav
age warfare. The North can make it either.
Let them now decide.
; FtOTO. This, accomplished robber of arsen
als and plunderer ot government securities,
is now endeavoring to raise a brigade in Vir
ginia for the war thereby securing a Brigadier-Generalship
in the Confederate army.
His consummate tact in robbing arsenals sug
gests him as a suitable person to undertake to
rob United States troops ot their arms. His
right to do this latter job will be vigorously
dispntcd, and if Floyd don't look out for him
self be may get a alight peppering from some
of those muskets which he so freely dealt in
roach to his dishonor. : i . ::
The Union iv Nashville. The following
extracts are from a letter from an intelligent
resident of riasnville, dated June 4 : "I never
prided myself ' on having more courage than
other men, but you can scarcely" form an idea
of what degree of courage is necessary at this
time for, a man to stand firm to his duty in
Nashville, or at almost any other place in
Tennessee The election in this State will be
a mere mockery. The masses have been in
timidated. I was -one of the Central Commit
tee, last year, for the then so called Union
party, and I Teal'y believed it to be a Union
.party. -John Bell, and those who surround
him, have been carried over simply by the
fury of the Secessionists. The same is truo
of the Press. One man, Parson Brownluw,
holds out; but he is hourly in danger of los
ing his life. Moral courage,, however, has
been more lacking than physical courage or
ambition. They could not bear to brook the
frowns of the frothy traitors who howled a
round our streets. The ladies, too, I am sor
ry to have it to say. have been impressed into
the service." . . . . "A few imprudent
Northern journals have uttered injudicious
things, and these ultra paragraphs have been
quoted and added to by a prostituted press in
the bands of the secession mob, withjmany
atrocious paragraphs forged lor the occasion,
to influence awd poison the public mind, and
exasperate the people to madness and fury
against persons who live in a Free State, and
all in the Slave States who will dare to speak
in favor of the Union or tho enforcement of
the lawrf. Every possible effort has been made
to shut out the light from the people. Such
papers in the State as have -dared to speak the
truth have been suppressed. We are stripped,
and at the mercy of our foe. I have been try
ing to do what I could to avert such a calam
ity, and to bring back peace ; but I am here
generally regarded as a public enemy. My
letters are intercepted Hnd searched at the
Post-Ofiice. A lot of circulars which I mailed
to my old committee correspondents, have
been seized, and are detained by authority of
a self-constituted inquisition, called The
Committee of Public Safety.' This thing is
done openly and defiantly. This is the kind
of government we are asked to sanction by our
votes. They are aware that, as for myself, I
would rather die than to be forced to vote for
such a mobocracy."
. Mutiny in a Pittsburg Compant. A few
days ago the camp at Mellville five miles this
side of Baltimore, on the Northern Central
railroad, where the "Firemen's Legion," of
Pittsburg, attached to the twelfth Pennsylva
nia regiment is stationed, for the protection
ot the road, was thrown into no little excite
ment by lour of the privates attempting to
murder one of the picket guards. It appears
the captain gave the four men leave of ab
sence for several hours, and they repaired to a
place near the camp where they obtained
liquor, and became intoxicated. On their re
turn they assaulted the guard, took his mus
ket from him. and attempted to bayonet him
whereupon the guard ran to the captain's
quarters and informed him of the fact. The
captain immediatly detailed Ave men to pur
sue them, and bring them to his quarters dead
or living. As soon ns the detachment came
in sight of the disorderly soldiers they were
rallied upon, and the sargeant, upon hearing
the shouts of "kill them ! kill them !" ordered
his detachment to fire, which resulted in one
of the mutineers being shot dead on the spot,
three balls entering his breast and one taking
effect in his forehead ; another wasshottbrotigh
his left hand, and the remaining two taken
prisoners. The wounded man is confined in
the hospital at Mellville, and the two prisoners
were taken to Fort McIIenry to await trial.
Tho fellow who was shot has long been fa
miliarly known in Pittsburg as "Loafer," and
when under the influence of liquor was more
demon than man. The two prisoners, if con
victed, will be shot immediately.
Who are the Brave ! In looking at the
deeds of valor of the Northern and Southern
"chivalry," as thus far exhibited in this war,
the contrast is really astonishing. The vaun
ted hot blood of the self styled "chivalry,''
"sudden and quick in quarrel," struck the
terrible first blows of a terrible strife, with a
fierce alacrity that seemed to shame our own
unwarlike patience and tameness, and chal
lenged a sort of admiration. But when the
strife was thus begun, and there began to be
blows to take, as well as blows to give who
was foremost then, and ever since ? Strange
to say, not an aggressive movement or ges
ture, in the face ot an enemy in force not a
solitary instance of personal heroism not a
partical of fighting, or firing, except from be
hind breastworks or ambuscades has redeem
ed this every-way-base rebellion from utter
dishonor! Strange to say, alt the chivalrous
daring, the generous self exposure, the tragical
fall ot the young and brave, that have made
up the terrible poetry of the war, have been
on the part of the scorned and flouted ;coun-Jer-jumpers,"
"mudsills" aud "greasy me
chanics" ot the North ! Well it is no new
thing under the sun, for the unconscious hero
ism of humble and peaceablo fndustry to put
to shame the braggart blood of "aristocracy."
Murder in Taylor County. The Lebanon
Central Kentuckian says Mr. Joseph Schooler,
of Taylor county, was poisoned last week.
From thp best information we can obtain, the
details are as follows : Thero lived with Mr.
Schoolera man named Anthony Sidney, whom
Schooler suspected of being too intimate with
his wife. Having become satisfied of their
criminal intercourse, a separation took placo
which continued for a few days, when they
seemingly became reconciled to each other.
In the meantime, however, Sidney made a
journey to Columbia and procured strychnine,
and It is supposed he furnished Mrs. Schooler
with it. Bo this as it may, Mr. Schooler hav
ing come into the house fatigued from labor,
asked his wife to make him a glass ot toddy,
which she willingly did, and handed it to him.
He drank and expired in a few moments.
Physicians were called in, and upon consul
tation determined to open the corpse and ex
amine the stomach. The stomach has been
sent to Louisville for the purpose of having the
contents analyzed. . Sidney and Mrs. Schooler
are under arrest.
Rebfllious Savages. The New Orleans
Crescent says that the Chickasaws held a coun
cil on the 21th of May and formally dissolved
their connection with the United States gov
ernment, and issued a manifesto to the Choc
taws, Creeks, Cherokees, and Seminoles, and
to the Reserve Indians, advising them to se
cede from the old Union, and to petition the
Southern Confederacy to bo received as a dis
tinct organised territory, instead of an Indian
territory. The friendly Indians are all in fa
vor of it. They had ordered off all the mis
sionaries in the country. The Indians also
took up two abolitionists from Northern Texas,
one of whom was a preacher, and hung them.
The forts were all to be garrisoned in twenty
days, in accordance with a treaty made with
the Reserve Indians. . ' .'
The St. Louis Republican says that since the
flight of Governor Jackson from the capital of
Missouri, all the departments of the State gov
ernment have been sealed and the keys given
to Col. Boerustein. This was done with a
view to avert alt suspicions that the United
States troops bad unduly interfered with the
State Govornment.
SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS.
- Jtne 19. Another battle has been fought
in Missouri. Gen. Lyon having heard that
there were 2,000 rebel State troops at lioones
ville, proceeded thither at e-nco. He landed
four miles below Boonesville, and opened a
heavy cannonade against the rebels, who re
treated and disappeared into the adjacent
wood, whence, hidden by bushes and trees,
they opened a brisk fire on the troops. Gen.
Lyon then ordered a hasty retreat to the
boats, and the rebels, encouraged by "this
movement, rallied and followed the troops in
to a wheat field. Gen. Lyon halted, faced his
troops about, and bringing the whole force of
atillery to bear, opened a mnrdeTmis tire on
the rebels, three hundred of whom were killed,
six hundred taken prisoners, and the balance
fled" in all direct ioss, leaving their arms on
the field. Gen. Price, overcome with the ex
citement of imminent peril, was obliged to be
carried irom the field.' Gov. Jackson viewed
the a flair from a sate distance, then fled and
hid himself. Gen. Lyon followed up his vic
tory by capturing Boonesville. The rebel
troops numbered over 2 000, and it is siid
that their loss is about fifteen hundred stand
of arms, and a consideiable quantity of am
munition, stores and a number of horses and
mules. Col. Boernstein was continually sen
ding out scouting parties into the country
surrounding Jefferson City. One company has
just arrived, bringing a large quantity ot pow
der in kegs, taken from qne of Gov. Jackson's
secret depots in the' interior. Tho secession
ists of Boone, Holloway, and Howard counties
are fleeing, and the Union Home Guards are
begiuning to organize in those counties.
June 20. A detachment of Rebel troops
from Romney, Va., yesterday morning at six
o'clock burned a bridge on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad near Piedmonte. They also
attacked and drove off the Picket Guard of
Col. Walace's regiment, who were Mary landers
from Cumberland, 40 in number, under Capt.
Reily, and stationed at the Piedmonte bridge.
The rebel force is estimated at from 3,000 to
5,000, who, it was said had attacked the guard
and killed ail but two. It now appears, from
good authority, that the reported possession
of the town of Piedmonte by the rebels is
false. After burning the bridge, and cutting
the telegraph wires, they retreated into tho
country, but it is said that a large force is still
in the neighborhood. The rebel force seemed
to be moving to connect with a larger body of
troops to attack Col. Wallace in his camp near
Cumberland, Md. All the engines belonging
to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad had been
fired up and sent west to Gratton.
There has been rumors of a large secession
force advancing upon Fortress Monroe, from
the direction of Yorktown. An important re
connoisance towards Great Bethel was made.
Our picket guard near Little Bethel was driv
en in yesterday by the rebels. Letes dti pont
aie being formed on Hampton creek prepara
tory to rebuilding the bridge. Two persons
came in thismorniDg, n presenting themselves
to be deserters from Sewell's Point, but I
learn from Gen. Butler that their tatements
were so contradictory that he was obliged to
send them to the Guard House as spies. It
is said the rebels are erecting strong masked
batteries opposite to the Rip Raps since the
successful experiment with Sawyer's gun.
Important events at Sewell's Point have been
expected. -
The United States steamer Reliance, Lieut.
Mygatt, commanding, has just arrived from a
cruise down the river. The Lieutenant reports
having captured elnveu rebel vessels in the
Potomac, endeavoring to supply the enemy
with provisions. The Reliance burnt two of
them, sunk four aud brought the rest here as
prizes.
The armies approach each other daily.
The Federal pickets and those of the enemy
were in sight of each other ten miles beyond
Alexandria at noon to day.
Two members ot the First Connecticut regi
ment were capturod during the night by rebels.
Our troops are moving slowly and cautious
ly towards Fairfax.
Our troops near Vienna are putting up tents
to-day. Their camp is connected with the
War Department by telegraph.
Lieut. Col. Thompson, of the Confederate
army, was captured by scouts near Phillipi.
. Col. Kelly is slowly gaining health and
strength, and will go to Wheeling this week.
The rebels are aain at work on the Aquia
Creek batteries.
June 21. The St. Louis Democrat has a
special dispatch frm hyraense, about twenty
five miles south of Booneville, which says
that an expedition of nearly 1,000 strong, with
four pieces of artillery, under Capt. Toiten, of
the regular sfcrvice, left Boonville Wednesday
night and reached this place at 10 A. M. yes
terday. Gov. Jackson, with about 500 men,
arrived here on Tuesday, and after impressing
property of both friends and foes, being afraid
of pursuit, suddenly leit yesterday forenoon,
proceeding southward towards Warsaw. Our
forces have gone forward to-day, but thero is
little hope of overtaking the fleeing party. A
battle took place at sunrise on Tuesday morn
ing, between 800 Union Home Guards under
Capt. Cook, near the town of Cole Camp, and
a large party of Secessionists from Warsaw
and the surrounding country, at which 15
Guards were killed, 20 wounded, many of
them severely, and 30 prisoners were taken.
Most of the Guards were in a large b;irn when
the firing began, and 'tis said kiUed 40 of the
attacking barty before being overpowered by
superior numbers, but nearly all of them es
caped and are ready to join ouf forces to dis
pute the paasage of the State troops.
Great excitement prevailed at Harrisburg,
yesterday. News had been received that Col.
Wallace's command at Cumberland, Md., was
hemmed in by a rebel force of 10,000. Camp
Curtin was soon in motion. Colonel's Sim
mons' and Biddies' regiments, fully armed and
uniformed, marched to the depot and took
the cars westward, to proceed to Cumberland
and reinforce Col. Wallace. The men were
m high spirits and cheered with great enthu
siasm whea leaving for the seat of war. Col.
Biddle's regiment is composed of the famous
"wild-cat" companies, and we predict that
they will win as many laurels as any regiment
now in the United States service. After the
troops had left, information was received that
Col. Wallace was reinforced. This news dis
arranged partly the movements of the two de
parted regiments, which will be stopped at
Hopewell for the present. Hopewell is eigh
teen miles this side ot Bedford.
. A rebel force of 11,000 is said to be en
camped at Stephenson's depot, 10 miles from
Martinsburfj. Gen. . Cadwallader is at Will
iamsport with 6,000 men. The rebel pickets
are opposite and threaten to bombard the town.
Gen. Cadwallader has planted artillery against
them ; much excitement exists, and manv of
tho people are leaving. The return of tho
rebels to Harper's Ferry Is confirmed j and it
Is said, that they destroyed the rest of the
property. .
; The Pennsylvania regiments now in and
near this city are attracting their full share of
public attention. The regiments which have
recently arrived from the old Keystone are
second to none. The soldiers area brave, de
termined set of fellows, well clothed, and e
qnipped with all the necessary accoutrements.
They seem perfectly contented; but, like
their predecessors, are "spoiling for a dght."
A. special dispatch dated Cairo, 20th, says :
"We. are expecting an attack soon from Gen.
Pillow, at the head of an array variously estf-
mated at from 10,000 to 30,000. Something
of the kind will happen here before long, oi
which the superior officers seem to be well a:
ware. There is a rumor here that a large
force of Ohio troops and several guu boats are
Comming down the Ohio river to join us."
It appears that the steamship Bavaria, from
Hamburg, brought out only between 8.000 and
10.000 stand of German guns for the federal
government. . '
A Horrid Picture. A South Carolinian
has written to Mr. Fillmori? an ardent letter,
from which we in ike the following extract:
"Whenever the slavts iu the Gulf Stales
arc incited to servile insurrections, and the
irospect bids fair for their being converted
into demons incarnate, then tho slaveowners
in the South will be found rexdy to sacrifice
eveiy slave from whom dinger may bt appre
hended, even though it involve the destruc
tion, by a concerted aud simultaneous move
ment, of every male slave over the age of 15
j-ears or even younger than that, if the neces
sities of the case may seem to require it ; and
willing hands will be found ready to execute
tho bloody deed. Before Southern men will
suffer themselves, their wives and little ones
to be butchered, and their daughters worse
than butchered, by fiends in human form; be
fore tbfy will suffer to any considerable extent
the horrois of servile insui lections, the Gn'f
streams will be crimson with gore, and every
Southern river choked with tho festering
carcisses of slaves.
Spiling for a Figut. One of the Michigan
boys got very sick in Harrisburg, and was un
able to accompany his regiment to Washing
ton. He wai ordered home when convales
cent, and furnished a pass to go, but that did
not suit him at all. The other day, very un-
Lexpectedly to his comrades, he made his ap
pearance in the camp at H ashmgton. The
Surgeon seized him in the ranks, and as he
was really unable to withstand the hardships
of the sercice, ordered him out. It was just
as the troops were in column to march to Vir
ginia, an alarm having been given. He left
the column crying, and said, sobbing loudly:
Never mind, bo s, you'll find m on the oth
er side of the bridge. I'll lie d d if I don't
be there." And if there had been a fight no
doubt he would have kept, his word. The
brave fellow started for a fight and if there is
a chance he is going to have it. That Michi
gander, if he lives, will return home covered
with laurels !
The Espkror's Joke. The latest joke, not
to be found in Punch, but heard at the clubs,
is said to come . from the other side of the
channel, though mayhap of home manufacture,
and not unworlhy of Sir Robert Peel, Jr.. in
his merry mood. Here it is. The Prince
Imperial and tho Emperor weie in discussion
about educational subjests, and from pothooks
had got to synonyms and equivalents of word,
when the juvenile imperial blood asked his
parent to explain to him the difference bo
tweenthe words 'accident" and "misfortune, "
which have certainly a little closer affinity in
French than English, and seem to require a
little elucidation. After a 'pause for an illus
tration, his Majesty said, "1 will tell you, my
boy, the exact difierence. It would be an
accident if your cousin, Prince Nepoleon,
were to tumble into the Seine but it would

out again."
Soldier9 Pay. Tho State of Illinois has
rather outwitted and ontfinancicred the shar
pers who have been hanging on the fl.inks of
the army ""of that commonwealth. The an
nouncement is made that the state authorities
will pay all warrants in the hands ot the vol
unteers in gold and silver, upon presentation
at the Treasury Department, but no warrant in
the hands of second parties will be paid at
present. This is no more than right, as no
doubt such warrants were purchased at an e
normous discount, and therefore the second
hand holders can afford to wait for liquidation.
This is an example that should lie stcadily
followed by every state in the Union. We
are opposed to showing mercy to those who
show uo mercy to the soldiers.
