Where There's a Will, There's a Way.
It was a nobl Roman,
In Kome'f imperial day
Who heard a coward croaicer, -
Before the battle. Btsy : .
''They're aafe in uch a fortress ;
There i no way to shake it"
"On ! on !" exclaimed tho hero,
"I'll find a way or make it !"
It Fame your aspiration ? ' "
Her path is steep and high ;
In rain he seeks the temple,
Content to gas and sigh !
?he shirking throne is waiting,
Put he alone can take it.
Who says, with Roman firmness,
"I'll find a way or make it '."
Is Teaming your ambition ?
There is no royal road ;
Alike the peerand peasant
Must climb to her abode ;
Who feels the thirst of knowledge
In Helicon may slake it
' If he has still the Roman will
To find a way or make it !
Are Riches worth the getting ?
They may be bravely sought;
With wishing and with fretting,
The boon cannot be bought ;
To all the prize is open,
But only he can take it
. Who says, with Roman courage,
"I'll find a wa j or make it!"
In leave's impassioned warfare,'
The tale has ever been
That victory crowns the valiant ;
The brave are they who win ;
Though strong is beauty's castle,
A lofer still may take it,
Who says, with Roman daring,
I'll find a way or make it '."
AS YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITY.
Mr. Frazicr sat rending' in his counting-room,
lie was in the midst of a piece of interesting
news, wben a Lid came to the door and said,
"Do you want a boy, sir?"
Without lifting bis eyes from the paper, Mr.
Frazier answered "No," to the applicant and
in a rather rough way. Before the lad reach
ed the street, conscience bad compelled the
merchant to listen to a rebuking sentence.
"You might have spoken kindly to the
poor boy, at least," said conscience. "This
is an opportunity."
Mr. Frazier let the paper fall from before
his eyes, and turned to look at the lad. lie
was small not twelve years old, to appear
ance poorly attired but clean. The mer
chant tapped against one of the, windows in
toe counting room, and the boy glanced back
over his shoulder. A sign from the merchant
caused him to return.
What did you say, just now 7"
"Do you want a boy, sir?" The lad re
peated the words he had spoken, hesitatingly,
a few momenta before.
Mr. Frazier looked at him with a suddenly
awakened interest, lie bad a fair, girlish
face; and thoogh slender and delicate in ap
pearance, stood erect, and with a manliness
ol aspect that showed him to be already con
scious ot duty in tin world, lint there did
not seem to be much of that stuff in him that
is needed for the battle of life.
'Take a hair," said Mr. Frazier, involun
tary respect for the lad getting possession of
his mind. The boy sat down with his large,
ciar eyes axtxl on tne merchant a lace.
How old are you ?"
I was twelve, sir, last month," replied the
boy.
What spUadld eyes," said the merchant
to himself. "And I nave seen them before.
Soft, dark and lustrous as a woman's."
Away back, in the past went the thoughts
of Mr. frailer, borae on the light of those
beautiful eye and for some moment's he for
got the present la the past. But when he
-came back into the present again, he had a
softened heart towards the strange lad.
You should go to school for a year or two
longer," he said.
kI must help my mother," replied the boy.
"Is your mother very poor 7"
'Yes, sir; and she is sick."
Tho lad's voice shook a little, and his soft,
womaw'a eyes grew brighter in the tears that
tilled them. Mr. Frazier had already forgot
ten the point of Interest in the news after
which his mind was searching, when the boy
interrupted him.
I don't want a lad myself," said Mr. Fra
zier, "but it may be that I could speak a good
word for you, you know. I think you would
make an honest, useful lad. But you are not
strong."
"Oh, yes, sir, I am strong !" And the boy
stood up in a brave spirit.
The merchant lopked'at him with a steadily
increasing interest.
"What is your name 1" ho asked.
"Charles Leonard, sir."
There was an instant change in the mer
chant's manner, and be turned bis face so lar
way that the boy's eyes could not see the ex
pression. For a long time ho sat still and si
lent so long that the boy wondered.
"Is your father living 7" Mr. Frazier did
not look at the boy, but still kept his lace a
ay. His voice was low and not very even.
"No, sir. lie died four years ago,"
"Where?" The voice was quicker and
firmer.
"In London, sir."
"How long since you came to America ?"
"Two years."
"Have you beea in this city ever since ?"
"Na, sir. We came here with my uncle a
year ago. But he died a month after our ar
rival." "What was your ancle's name ?'
"Mr. Iloyle, sir."
Then came another long silence, in which
tue lad was not able to see the merchant's
countenance. But when he did look at him
gain, there was such a new and kind expres
sion to the eyes which seemed almost to de
oor his iaCe, that be felt an assurance in bis
nert that Mr. Frazier was a good man, and
would be a friend to bis mother.
."Sit-there for a Httlo while," said Mr. Fra
iler, and turning to his desk be wrote a note,
'Q which without permitting tho lad to see
bat he was doing, he enclosed two or three
lok bills.
"Take this to your mother," ho said, nand
,D8 the note to the lad.
"You'll try and get ma a place sir, won't

"At No. , Melon street.' : !
'Very well." Mr. Frarief noted down :
street and number. . "And now take this note
to your mother."
The merchant did not resume his newspa
per after the lad departed. lie had lost all
interest in its contents. For a long: time be
sat with bis hand shading his face, so that no
one saw its expression. If spoken to on any
matter, he answered briefly, and with none
of his usual interest in business. The change
in him was so marked that one of his partners
asked him it be was not unwell. .
"I ieel a little dull," was evasively answered
Before his usual time Mr. Frazier left the
store and went home. As he opened the door
ot dis dwelling, the distressed cries and sob
Lings of a child came with an unpleasant shock
upon his ears. . He went up stairs with two or
three long strides, and entered the nursery
iroin which the cries came.
"What's the matter, darling V he said, as
he caught the weeper in his arms, "what ails
my little Maggie 7"
"O, papa, papa," sobbed the child, cling
ing to his nuck, and laying her wet cheek
close to nis.
"Jane," said Mr. Frazier, looking at the
nurse, and speaking with some sternness of
manner, "Why is Maggie crying in this man
ner?"
The girl looked excited and pale. "She's
been naughty," was her answer.
"No, papa! I ain't been nanghtv," said
tho child indignantly. "I didn't want to stay
here all alone, and alio pinched and slapped
me so hard! O, papa!" And tho child's
wail rung out again, as she clung to his neck,
soooing. :
"Has she ever pinched and slapped you be
fore 7" asked the father.
'She does most every day," answered the
little gin.
"Why bavn't you told me ?"
"She said she'd throw me out of the win
dow if I told ! Oh, deur! oh, dear ! don't let
her do it, papa!"
It's a lie," exclaimed the nurse passion
ately.
"Just look at my -poor leg, papa." The
child said this in a hushed whisper, with her
lips laid close to her lather's car.
Mr. Frazier sat down, and baring the child's
nip, saw that it was covered with blue and
greenish spots, all above the knee ; there were
not less than a dozen of these disfiguring
marks. He examined the other leg and found
it in the same condition. Mr. Frazier loved
that child with deep tenderness. She was his
all to love. Her mother, between whom and
himself there never had been any sympathy,
died about two years before; and since that
time his precious darling the apple of his
eye had been left to the tender mercies of
hired nurses, over whose conduct it ' was im
possible for him to have any right observation.
lie baa often feared that Maggie was neglect
ed often trouble 1 himsjlfo i her account
but a suspicion of cruelty like this had never
entered his imagination as possible. Mr.
Frazier was profoundly disturbed, but even in
his passion he was very calm.
"Jane," he said sternly, "I wish you to
leave the House immediately."
"Mr. Frazier "
"Silence!" He showed himself stern and
angry, even in his suppressed utterance of the
word,-that Jane' started, and then left the
room immediately.
Mr. Frazier rung tho bell, and to the waiter
who answered it, said : "See that Jane leaves
the house at once. I have discharged her.
Here is the money that is due. I must not
see her again."
As the waiter left the room Mr Fraizer
hugged the child to his heart again, and kissed
her with an eagerness of manner that was un
usual with him. He was fond, but quiet in
his caresses. Now the sleeping impulses of a
strong heart were all awake and active.
In a small back chamber, sat a pale, sweet
faced patient looking woman, reading a letter
which had just been left her by the postman.
"Thank God," she said, as she finished
reading it, and her soft, browu oyes were lifted
upward. "It looked very dark," she murmur
ed, "but the morning has broken again." At
length, a quick step was beard on the stairs,
and the door was pushed hastily open.
"Charles, dear !"
The boy entered with an excited counte
nance. "I'm going to have a place, mother,"
he cried to her, the moment his feet were in
side of the door. The pale woman smiled and
held out her hand to her boy. He came quick
ly to her side. "
"There is no necessity, for your getting a
place now, Charles. We shall go back to
England,"
"Oh, mother!" The bey's lace was all a
giow with sunbeams.
'Here's a letter from a gentleman in New
York, who says ho is directed to pay our pas
sage to England, if we return. God is good
my son. Let us be thankful."
Charles now drew from his pocket the note
which Mr. Frazier had given him, and handed
it to his mother.
"What is this 7" she asked. ;
"Tho gentleman who promised to get me a
place, told me to give it to you."
The woman broke the seal. There were
three bank bills, ol ten dollars each enclosed,
and this brief sentence written on the sheet of
paper: "God sent your son to a true friend.
Let him come to-morrow,"
"Who gave you this 7" she asked, her face
growing warm with sudden excitement.
'A gentleman. But I don't know who he
was. I went into a great many stores to ask if
they didn't want a boy, and at last 1 came to
the one where the gentleman was who sent
you this letter. He spoke roughly at first;
and then called me back and asked me who I
was, and about my mother. I told him your
name, and bow father died, and you were sick.
Then be sat a good while and said nothing ;
and then wrote th'j note, and told me he would
get me a plae. He was a kind looking man
if be did speak roughly at first."
"Didyou see what name was upon the sign 7"
"1 never thought to look," replied the boy.
"I was so glad when I came away. But I can
go straight to the place." -
"I will write the gentleman a note, thanking
him for his kindness, and you must take it to
him in the morning. How light it makes my
heart feel to know that we are going back to
dear Englaud ! God is good to us, my son,
and we must be obedient and thankful."
Jnst a little before the evening twilight fell,
word came np to the woman that a gentleman
bad called and wished to see her.
"Go and see who it is, Charles," she said
to ber son.
"Ob, mother. It's the gentleman who sent
you the note," exclaimed he, in an under tone,
coming back quietly j and he wants you. Can
be come up 7"
There was a hasty glance of the woman's
eyes around the room to see if everything was
in order, then a few changes in attire.
"Ask him to come up, my son," she said,
ana Gnarles went down stairs again.
A man's firm tread approached the door.
It was opened, and the boy 's mother,' and the
boy's new found friend looked ' into each oth
er's faces.
"Oh, Edward '" fell from her Hps, in a quick,
surprised voice : and she started f rorn ' ber
chair and stood strongly agitated before him.
He advanced, not speaking until he had taken
her hand.
"Florence! I never thought to see you
thus." : He said it in a kind, calm, evenly
modulated voice; but her ears were finely
enough chorded to perceive the deep emotion
that lay beneath. He said it, looking down
into the dark, soft, tender, brown eyes. "But
I think there is a Providence in our meeting,"
he added.
They sat down and talked long together
talked of the times gone by, and of the causes
that had separated them, while their hearts
beat only for each other of tho weary years
that had passed for both of them since then,
of the actual present of their lives.
"I have a motherless child," he said at last,
"a tender little thing that I love, aad to-day I
find her body purple with bruises from the
cruel hand of a servant ! Florence, will 3 011
be a mother to that child 7 You have a noble
boy that is fatherless ; let me be to him a fath
er Oh, Florence thero has been a great void
in our lives. A dirk and impassable river has
flowed between ns for years. But we stand at
last together ; and if the old love fills your
heart as it fills mine, there are golden days
for us in the future."
And so it proved. The lady and her son
did not go back to England, but passed to the
merchant's stately residence, she becoming
its mistress, and finding a home and. a truer
father than the one he had in former years
called by that name.
Kentucky. If the Government has not al
ready sent aid to the Union men in Kentucky,
it should do so without a moment's further
delay. The Union men of that State are, it
is true, in a large majority, but they are neither
organized nor armed, while the Secessionists
have a secret organization, are well armed, and
are banded together as one man. If they are
permitted to get the better of the Union men
in a single encounter, the Government will
have cause to regret it. . A Louisville corre
spondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says : "Pic
nics and barbacues and active canvassing are
still carried on, and have been, more actively
after the election than before it ; camps cf
Secessionists arc forming in the State. A
large gathering is to be held, including the
armed State Guard, in Owen county, near the
State Capital, shortly after our Legislature is
to assemble ; and I am credibly informed that
the Secession Congressman of the First Dis
trict, II. C. Burnett, has received from the
Southern Confederacy, through the agency of
George N. Sanders, 5,000 stand of arms, for
the Secession camp near Glasgow, in our State,
called Camp Vallandigham ; that 3,500 more
are soon to be sent to him ; and that . these
arms are to be used to attack the camp of Ken
tucky Union men in Garrard county."
New Jeeset. The White-Feather move
ment does not seem to flourish in New Jersey.
The attempt to hold a meeting for Compro
mise and Peace, was frustrate! I y the upri
sing of the indignant committee of Middle
town, Keyport, Red Bank, and the region
round about, who organized a large mass mee
ting at Middletown, and passed a series of pa
triotic resolutions. Mr. Silas B. Dutcher, was
present by invitation, and delivered a stirring
speech, which was received with wonderful
enthusiasm. Mr. Thomas Dunn English, who
had purposed addressing the White-Feather
fraternity, was roughly handled by the crowd,
nnd had to be locked up by the United States
Marshal Deacon, to save him from lynching.
Not less than 2,000 of the most respectable
citizens of Monmouth were present, full one
half of whom were of the Democratic party.
It is not likely that Compromise and Peace
with traitors will soon again be suggested to
the grandsons of the patriots who iought at
Manmouth and Trenton.
We think it not amiss to direct attention to
the fact, that while in nearly all the Republi
can counties in tin State movements have
been set on loot looking towards the concen
tration of the Union men upon a single ticket
to be voted for at the next election, the case
is very different wherever there is a decided
democratic majority. In counties like Berks,
Montgomery, Northampton, Monroe, Lehigh,
etc., the democratic leaders reject with scorn
all propositions of a union upon the simple
basis of sustaining the government in its
efforts td put down treason. We do not hold
the voting masses responsible for these things,
for they ate controlled by the Breckinridge
leaders, who would prefer to see the country
destroyed rather than surrender their partisan
influence. We trust the Union men of the
State will not bo led astray by the efforts of
these demagogues, but discern their duty
clearly, and not be afraid to perform it.
Reading Journal.
An elderly lady who attended a meeting of
the First Vermont regiment arose, full of en
thusiasm, and said she thanked God that she
was able to do something for her country;
her two sons, all she possessed in 'the world,
were in the regiment, and the only thing she
had to regret was that she could "not have
known it twenty years ago she would have
furnished more of them.
The success which has attended the new
oan is the most extraordinary in the history
of financial affairs. ' Already, even before the
notes are ready,' thirty-seven hundred appli
cations have been made for it in New York
city. From the millionaire down to the ser
vant girl, and the old womai with her "stock
ing of gold," the applicants are thronging by
hundreds to the Sub Treasury.
A large number of Democrats in Montgom
ery county, Ohio; the home ot Vallandigham,
have issued an address repudiating Vallandig
ham and his doctrines. The cause of the ad
dress was the action of the County Democrat
ic Convention, which being packed by Vallan
digham's friends, placed the Democracy of
the county in a false position. ' . '
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.
' Attempts will no doubt be made to confuse
the public mind in view Of the recent activity
in New York and Philidelphia in suppressing
treasonable presses. It will be said that the
freedom of the press is the palladium of liber
ty ; that if arbitrary' despotism is. to destroy
the watch-dogs of freedom," we are on the
high road to the ruin of the republic, &c, &c.
We wish to put our readers on their guard
against the insidious attempts of - rebels iu
disguise. The principle in the case of the
grand jury of New York and of Marshal Mill
ward is perfectly plain, and all the sophistry
in the world cannot confuse it to right think
ing men. '- -
The case is briefly this : In a question of
sovereignty there are no degrees or limits. The
question of sovereignty is like that of privil
ege in a deliberative body; it overrides every
thing. The reason is plain. Sovereignty is
essentially alone and supreme ; if it be sub
dued, everything is in ruins ; anarchy reigns.
In time of peace, the liberty of speech and
of the press arc carefully guarded. So is tho
liberty of the citizens in the shape of the Aa
beas corpus. Yet Mr. Dickinson, the Senator
from New York, rightly said in a recent speech:
"In such a titno as this, il there were no other
way of suppressing treason, I would suspend
the habeas corpus and the traitor too."
In looking at the laws, we mast look at
their reason. When law is supreme and the
public peaco undisturbed, the liberty of the
citizen, the freedom of the press and of speech
cannot be too carefully guarded. - But when
the sovereignty of the nation is attacked, the
first thing is to protect that; for everything
depends upon it, everything centres in it. If
tho flag bo down, there is no protection for
life, property, religion or anything else."' The
country is in the hands of rebels and land pi
rates. The first thing is to save your Govern
ment.
' Now if newspapers are issuing daily or
weekly treason against the supreme authority :
if they are encouraging those who are making
war against it ; if they are doing their utmost
to trail our nag in the dust it it, perfectly
idle to talk of tho freedom of the press iq
their case. Jill the rights of citizens ptesup
posed loyalty ; a traitor has no rights. He is
an outlaw in the very nature of the case.
' -The thanks of every loyal citizen are due
to the New York grand iury and to Marshal
Millward. These are precisely the stern pre
cedents that are needed. Let them be follow
ed up by similar action everywhere. Let
every Secession journal be swept from the land.
The case of- the-- Christian Observer, for
which there may be an attempt to create some
sympathy, is a perfectly clear one. Its editor
was earnestly - remonstrated with by almost
every prominent minister of the Church to
which be belongs, resident in the city and vi
cinity and so anxious were they at one time
to be freed from the scandal of the Observer's
pro-slaveryism, thai they offered $10,000 for
tbe paper, far . more than it was worth, but ex
pressive of their desire to be rid of it. Find
ing the editor incorrigible, they one by one
repudiated that journal, and were only of
late waiting the regular meeting of their
Church Court to , take publio and combined
action against it. Tbe articles and communi
cations became more offensive every week.
Tbe North was sneered at ; irritating state
ments were made and reiterated, until no one
that read the paper had, the least doubt that
its whole bearing was in favor of tbe rebel
government as against the United States. If
such papers are allowed to be published, gov
ernment is a mockery. Tbe fact that the Ob
server was called a religious journal, that ' it
published church news, &c, did . not in the
least alter the case. Treason is . no better for
coming in a religious garb ; it is worse, indeed,
because more concealed, and, therefore, more
dangerous. -Philadelphia Bulletin. ,

The subjoined extract from The Republican,thc
leading Democratic paper in this city, is a fair
expression of the feeling with which the proc
lamation of Gen. Fremont is regarded by the
citizens of St. Louis, many of whom 1 have
seen to-day, and all of whom declare that the
decided action of the commanding General is
timely and right. The Republican, says :
"The proclamation of Major-General Fre
mont, which appears in another column, is the
most important document which has yet ap
peared' in tho progress of the war. Let it be
read with careful consideration by every citi
zen. The prompt visiting of the extremest
penalties of martial law upon the Rebels with
in the established military lines; the confis
cation of the property of persons who shall
take up arms against the Government, and the
declaration of absolute freedom to the slaves
of all such persons; the extreme penalties to
be visited upon bridge-burners, railroad and
telegraph destroyers, treasonable correspon
dence and libels, and peace destroyers of all
kinds, are measures of the most extraordinary
stringency ; but the wisdom of. their promul
gation by the supreme officer of the array of
the west we are confident will be conceded by
every just and loyal citizen. ; There is no lon
ger any middle grounder room for traitors
where the lawful Government has swaj. Gen.
Fremont strikes boldly and fearlessly. The
consolidated patriotism and the boundless re
sources of tho great North-West are at his
baGk. Let every faithful man," by word and
deed, give aid and encouragement to this
grand movement for the re-establishment of
the whole people" ' .
Tobacco Culture in the North is a novelty
and -yet it is pronounced a success. There

said that Northern grown tobacco is already
becoming a -noticeable element in the market.

SHAYS' INSUBRECTI0N.
In the year 1786 an insurrection took place
in Massachusetts. "A heavy debt lying on
the State, and almost all tho corporations
within it ; a relaxation of manners; a free nso
of foreign luxuries ; a decay of trade ; with a
scarcity of money ; and above all, the debts
due from individuals to each other; were the
primary causes of this sedition. Heavy tax.es,
recessarily .imposed at this time, were the
immediate excitement to discontent and iu
surgeuoy."
The leader of the malcontents in Massachu
setts was Daniel Shays. At the head of 300
men, he marched to Springfield, where the
Supreme Judicial Court was in session, and
took possession of the Court House. He then
appointed a committee, who waited on the
Court with an order couched in an humble
form of a petition, requesting them not to
proceed to business ; and both parties retired.
The number of insurgents increased ,-the pos
ture of a hairs became alarming, and an army
of four hundred men was at length ordered
out for their dispersion. This force was plac
ed under the command of General Lincoln.
His first measure was to march to Worcester ;
and be uflorded such protection to the court
at that place, that it resumed and executed
the judicial functions. Orders were given to
Gen. Shepard, to collect a sufficient force to
secure the arsenal at Springfield. According
ly, he raised about 900 men, who were rein
forced by 800 militia from the county ol Hamp
shire. At the head of this foTce he marched,
as directed to Springfield. .
On the 25th of January, Shays approached,
at the head of 1,100 men. Shepard seut out
one of his aids to know the intention of the
insurgeants, and warn them of their danger
Their answer was, that they would have the
barracks, and they proceeding to within a few
hundred yards of the arsenal. They , were
tl;en informed that the militia were posted
there by order of the Governor and that they
would be fired upon it they approached nearer
They continued to advance, when General
Shepard ordered his men to fire, but to direct
their fire over their heads ; even this did not
intimidate them, or retard their movements.
The artillery was then levelled against the
centre column, and the whole body thrown
into confusion. Shays attempted iu vain to
rally them. They made a precipitate retreat
to Ludlow, about ten miles from Springheld
Three men were killed and one wounded
They soon after retreated to Petersham '; Gen.
Lincoln pursuing their retreat they finally dis
persed.
Some of the fugitives retired to their
homes; but many, and among them their prin
cipal officers, took refuge in the States of
New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York.
: A Terrible Parson in Battle. A corres
pondent of the Memphis Appeal says :
"Parson Rippetoe, a Methodist preacher,
and Captain of a Virginia company, performed
prodigies of valor at the first taking of Sher
man's battery,(for it was taken, then lost, then
taken again.) lie cnt the throats of the hor
ses, and then engaged Lientenant Sherman in
a hand-to-hand conflict with sabres. After
a ten minutes' tight, both being accomplished
swords men, be severed Sherman's head from
his body at one blow."
The beheading which Sherman received
from this militant Methodist preacher is not
likely to do him or bis battery any serious in
jury. - Wben the next fight comes they will
be ready to receive a whole legion of secession
preachers. , . . .
' When a man becomes a secessionist, he
seems straightway to become a liar and a thief.
and to lose all sense of shame. The leading
conspirators in Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet were
thieves, and they have been honored by the
rebels for their exnertness in stealine. The
Attorney General of the Confederate States is
a thief. The funds in the hands of the rebels
were stolen. The provisions of their armies
are pilfered under a disguise of paying scrip.

Rat Stout. We arc assured that once, in
Scotland, a thrifty laird, finding his store of
eggs diminish, watched to see how the thieves
could carry them away. He saw three rats go
together to the pile of eggs, when one turning
on his back, the others rolled an egg upon
him, which he clasped safely to his bosom,
and his companions, taking his tail in their
mouths, started off like a team drawing a
sledge, and disappeared behind some barrels :
which were the outer fortifications of their
castle.
English Bankers want $50,000,000 or the
Loan. It is stated upon reliable authority
that an offer was lately made to Secretary
Chase, on behalf of foreign bankers, to take
$50,000,000 ot the loan, provided the Govern
ment would promise to pay the interest at
Frankfort-on-the-Main. The Secretary, how-
ever, declined the offer, as he is confident in
the ability of the Government to maintain it
self without asking the aid ot foreign capital.
Parents must never put away their own youth.
They must never cease to be young. Their
sympathies and sensibilities snouia be always
quick and fresh. They most be susceptible.
They must love that which God made tbe child
to love. Children need not only government,
firm and mild, but sympathy, warm and tender.
So long as parents are then best and most a-
greeable companions, children are compara
tively safe, even in the society of others. ;T

. THE WAR INCIDENTS AND NEWS.
A Heroic Uxios Woman. The Louisville
Journal says: A few. evenings- ago, whilst a
gentleman who lives near Midway in this Statu
and has a Union fl ig before his door was b.
sent, the secessionists, about twelve or fifteen
in number, went to the house, only his wife
being at home, and commenced cutting down
the flag. The noble woman ordered them to
leave. They refused. Siie demauded by w hat
authority they were cutting down the flag.
They replied, "By the authority of our Cap-r
tain." She seized a revolver and fired, when
the scoundrels fled in consternation, and the
victorious heroine, grasping tho flag and wav
ing it in the air, gave three cheers for the U
nion and Star Spangled Banner.
How Mant 7 It is a gratifying fact that no
man can to-day do anything more that guess,
in the loosest way, at the number troops in
Washington, or under Gen. Banks. As to iho
forces in western Virginia there is equal doubt.
The chief positive statement of any importance
as to the number of Union troops which no
have lately met, is one in tho St. Louis e
publican. That paper declares that within an,
hour's ride of the St. Louis Court House, Fro
mont has in camp not less than thirty thou
sand well armed men a number which plea
santly surprises many readers.
A Rebel Report of their Deteat- A spe
cial despatch from Nashville says : The news
of the capture of Forts Hatteras and Clark,
is confirmed by advices from Wilmington.
Our men (the rebels) fought bravely. It is re
ported that GOO of our men were taken prison
ers, and our loss 40 killed and -0 wounded.
Another report gives 80 killed, and that only
ten or twelve escaped.
Indians Joining tue Rebels. Advices re
ceived at the War Department confirm the
report that the Kiowas and Camanches,' from
whom Government have this year withheld
their usual presents on account ot previous
rascalities, have united their fortunes with
the Southern Confederacy. The principal
rendezvous of the ttibes is near Fort Bent.
Commodore Barron's Sword. The sword,
of Commodore Barron, tbe traitor commander
ot the rebels at Hatteras, was presented to tho
President of the United States by Commodore
Stringham. Commodore Barron was captured
in full regimentals, and wearing the eagles
and stars of tbe Government he had so basely
deserted, to join the rebels.
An Incident or War. Ono of the sentries
at Gen. Bank's camp, the other night, guard
ing the spring that supplied the camp, shot a
man who was crawling upon his belly, under
cover of darkness, with a pound and a half of
arsenic, to sweeten the water. The sentry
fired without knowing what the moving thing
was, and killed the man. .
The Forts. Tbe eight hundred gallant fel
lows In command of Hatteras, are in terts of
such a character, and have been taken with
such a small loss of life on account of the en
trenchments, that they may be held against
all odds if attacked. They forts are built with
casements, bomb proofs and embrasures.
The Crittesdens. Although one ot the
sons of tbe veteran Jno. J. Crittenden has ac
cepted a Brigadier's commission in, the rebel
army, greatly to his father's sorrowhis eldest
son, Thomas L. Crittenden, stands for the
Government, and insists that its authority
should be maintained at every hazard.
Camp Robinson. The Louisville Journal
says of the men in the Union Camp in Garrard
county : "Since wars began upon tbe earth,
there never was assembled in a camp a nobler,
truer, better set of men than those at Camp
Robinson.' Its officers are among the brightest
and purest men of Kentucky.
Jeff. Davis and the State of Missouri.
It is announced that Jeff. Davis has. or is aboi.t
to issue a proclamation announcing the admis
sion of Missouri into the Southern Confedera
cy recognizing Jackson as Chief Magistrate
of that State, and his recent acta and procla
mations as valid.

The National Detective Police. Tho na
tional detective police will speedily be organ
ized and in active operation. At its head
will be placed a well known western detective,
of national reputation, and the supervision o( the
force will extend over the whole country.
The Prisoners. The officers captured at
Hatteras will, bo sent to Fort Lafayette, and
the men to the Rip Raps and Fortress Monroe.
Fort Lafayette appears to be rather an aristo
cratic boarding-bouse, judging from tbe num
ber of extinguished persons sect there.
Bio Bethel Avenged. It is worth some
thing, we must admit, that a gallant Ameiican
officer should commit a blunder. Tho mis
take attributed to General B"tler at Big Beth
el has been wiped out by bis conduct aud cou
rage at the taking of Hatteras.
The Landing at Hatteras. The army of
General Butler landed under a heavy fire and
through a deep surf, which was up to their
neoks. Many of the boats were broken to pie
ces, but not one of our gallant fellows was
lost. All honor to them.
' "The Defenders of North Carolina.' A-
mong tbe trophies of tbe capture of Hatteras,
was a beautiful silk banner, presented by the
ladies of Newbern, North Carolina, and in
scribed. In appropriate terms, to "The Defen
ders of North Carolina.".

of the rebel prisoners confined at Camp Chase,
Ohio, had a , "letter of marque" from Gov.
Wise, in which he was empowered to "pick
off" Union scouts at five dollars a head;
Disguising Soldiers. A Secessionist In
