A HERoINE.-A oomdn was discovered among the
volunteers at Camp Whitcomb, in the Evansville
Company, the 10th, after they had been received
by the u. S. officers One of the company it is said,
lost handkerchief. On sitting down to mess, he
observed it sticking out of the bosom of one of his
comrades. He Immediately took hold of it, when, to
his surprise, he discovered that his messmate
female. On inquiring into this strange proceeding,
she stated that being very poor and wishing to go to
her father, who either resided in Texas, or was a
soldier in Gen. Taylors army, she resolved to join
Capt. Walkers company for the purpose of getting
to her father The company raised subscription for
her benefit, and sent her down the river steam

OF The Wayne County Record maintains that
Gen. Scott justly offended with tie President, be-
cause he desired that Congress would authorize the
appointment of two additional Major Generals and
four Brgadier Generals. The Record very positively
says that 'the army had no need of such additona
officers" Military men do not all agree with this
opinion. For instance, Gen. Houston, who certainly
may be supposed to know something about the matter
made some practical statements on the subject, show
ing that the additional number of Major Generals wa:
indispensable for the efficient organization of the ar
my. An army of fifty thousand men would consist O
five divisions, each Of which was entitled TO be com
manded by Major General. 1t strikes us that Gen
Houston is nearest right.

"The Sentinel, the especial organ of Gov. Whit
comb, occupying the position to him that the
Union does to Mr. Polk, is just incessant In Its
audations of that gentleman the Union is of the
President.
Z" II is amusing to look over its columns. They
give evidence of great uneasness at the prospect of
the defeat which awaits its patron in the approaching
electon."-iState Journal.
Ot-Our T" laudatons I" of Gov. Whicomb consist
only in giving him due credit for able and faithful
discharge of his official duties, and in endeavoring to
defend him from the unjust assaults of the Wing
politicians and newspapers who wish suppant him
by unfounded ISLANDERS and abuse To this much he
is fairly entitled hands, not only faithful
officer elected by the people whose interests profess
to have at heart, but also as Democrat and gentle
man. This is our position " in relation to the
Governor, as we understand it, and if our neghbor
supposes it be otherwise, he is mistaken. BY the
use of the word patron" in the latter part of the
extract, it would that our neighbor does labor
under some kind of misrepresentation If the Journal
intended to apply the term in offensive sense, it
has certainly forgotten the adage about hro,cing
stones. Gov. Whtcomb, as "patron " to us, stands
in the same relation that every other Democrat does.
We know of no difference. Not the slightest. If
he had bought Office for US, and set up in busi
ness, as MORRIS MORRIS did for the Editor of the
Journal the term "paron" would apply in full force.
But this is not the case. We never asked, received,
or coveted such patronage" In that respect, we
have kept the Injunction of the Apostle, and "owe
no man any thing"
If, as the Journal asserts, our columns give evil
dence Of "great uneasness at the prospect of the
alleged defeat which awaits our party In August,
they give evidence of an "upeasiness - which we
have not yet felt and do not expect to feel We have
never for moment doubted the complete triumph of
the Democratic party in August by greatly increased
rnaiority We do not anticipate less than 5000 for
our Gubernatorial ticket; and majority is in our
opinion as likely exceed to fall any thing short
of that number. This is firm opinion, and we
think we have reasons TO entertain it.. There is no
why the result Of the election should be other
wise. The administration Of Governor Whtcomb,
though commencing at a period when the affairs of
the State in most depressed and dIscouraging
condition, has been, upon the whole, eminenty sue
cessful Things are not only no worse than when
tile Democratic party came into power, but they are
great deal better, as every honest Wing will ac-
knowledge. Why then should the people seek change
There is no good reason for it, and is not likely to
be sought The people are neither so tickle nor so
foolish 10 desire change, and least of all such
a change restoration of the Old Dynasty would
bring about Let our neighbor think of these things
1t will to break the al which he is destined to
experience in August.

| "Where is Gov Whitcomb! Is he a. home attend.

know. If he had discharged his duty as an honest

We very happy that can fully CRAFTY the
anxious solcitude of Mr.. Grub6s. Gov. Whitcomb
is faithfully and zealously attending personally to his
official duties, which at present deain him at the
camp near New Albany. Having there given his per-
sonal attention to the wants and welfare of our pa
trotc volunteers have doubt he will return to
the discharge of the ordinary Executive duties, in
which he has been remiss. If he should while
thus necessarily travelling, happen to be called upon
by any portion of the people, TO make "speech, we
have doubt he will respond to the call he should
do. Not for the purpose however, like certain pre-
decessor, of "begging" the people to re-elect him,
because, being ga politician by trade he could get
living in other way,-but simply to give the peo-
pie plain and honest account Of his stewardship,
such they have right to demand, and to show them
that he has endeavored to discharge his duty
honest and faithful public servant should do.''
Among all the charges promulgated by his oppo-
nents against Gov Whitcomb, none reckless
enough to charge him with the slightest neglected his
public duties These duties he neglects nor de-
tsrs. He is always at The post of duty,-always at
work. And this is the simple reason why he accom-
plishes much than that class of men who puff
and blow like high-pressurc steam engine, and yet
accomplish nothing in the end. The Newcastle Cou-
rer will be taught in August, that the people know
how to appreciate these facts.
