PooR FLOYD When Floyd stole the Gov
eminent muskets he stupidity thought he
was securing himself in the high regards of
the conspirators who made him their tool.
So when Benedict Arnold intrigued with the
British, he little imagined the scorn in which
he was held, and the contempt which pur-
sued him wherever he was known, among
the very people in whose favor he plotted
treason. Nearly every one avoided Arnold
with disgust and horror, and he was re-
peatedly insulted.
Such seems likely to be the fate also of the
Run-thief Floyd. Already the Richmond
papers taunt him with his crime. The En-
quirer says, sarcastically, of some letter.
writers who have insulted Floyd, that, at
any rate, "the characters of our correspond
ents have never been stained by the suspicion
of a crime" This TO a man who has been
Governor of Virginia and Secretary of War
TIE fact is, Floyd is suspected in Virginia
of having kept to himself a great share OF
that which he plundered from the Govern
ment; and the Richmond editors do not for
get that when this gun-thief was Governor
of their State he was known to have specu-
lated to his own advantage in stocks Of Vir-
Rinia, which were intrusted to him to sell
on account Of the State treasury. There are
men now in Wall-strIet who remember a
little speculation OF Governor Floyds in
1851, by which he made enough, II the ex.
pepse Of bis State, to satisfy less ambitious

Correspondence of the London Star.l
americans In P0ris-Wlfe of lieutenant
General Scott.
PANS. Sentember "a, II


PARIS, September %, 1861.
Among the Northerners now at Paris is
the wife of General Scott She had very
narrow escape of being q passenger in the
Great Eastern, when that steamer met with
its latest and most serious accident. Her
passage was actually taken, and she was on
the eve of setting out when an American
gentleman whom General Scott had requested
to come all the way from New York to be
her escort over the Atlantic, arrived at Paris,
and having some matters to arrange here,
which would cause delay of two or three
days, she was obliged to defer her voyage for
a few days, and has not since been able to
leave Paris. Mrs. Scott is in very delicate
state of health, and quite martyr to nerv-
business. She is not able to read the news
papers till some friend looks over them, as
sures her that there are no evil things from
the North, and that nothing has happened to
any member of her family, of which her hus-
band is not the only one who has taken up
arms in defense of the Federation. Close to
the house in which Mrs. Scott is staying lives
another American lady of some celebrity in
her own country-Mrs. Ritchie, who is better
known as Mrs. Anna Cora Mowatt. This
lady, who is of Northern birth and educa-
ton, retired from the stage Oh her second
marriage with a wealthy Southern planter.
She is still remarkably pretty as well as pc
culiarly fascinating in her manners, and
although past middle age, does not look
day older than she did fourteen years ago;
nor is the slightest token of advancing years
to be seen in her hair, which still preserves
the beautifully FURNISHED look, and would be
luxurious even for young girl.
There are also some near relations of General
J Johnston among the Americans here, who,
however, are not less anti. slavery than any
of tha Repcher family.

All Smoke.
Coming down by r. Y. Cory's store on
Monday, we were invited in by our jolly
fellow-citizen, E. p. Clark, who formed HIM
self in hollow square and asked us if we
ever smoked. We informed that we occa-
sionally took suction on weed, whereupon
he presented arms and box of most ex-
cellent cigars, grown, clipped, rolled, and
boxed when the Confederate States were
yet unborn and Uncle Sam was reported to
be jolly fellow. We weeded and meditat-
ed. We saw the brotherhood of States re-
csnciled and happy-peace smiling in
every glen and ON every hillsde-the
earth groaning with agricultural and min
eral products-the Mississippi teeming with
business activity, and her lcvees all covered
with merchandise. One thing seemed lack
ing; there were no negroes for black
ground. An aromatic smoke passed away
and we awokc. Our cigar was gone; peace
to its ashes. But we have plenty more

HUMOROUS EDlroRs.-Our friends of the
Cedar Valley Gasetts arc very humorous
fellows;-indeed, for dry joking they bid
fair to become the envy Of the profession.
For example, in their issue of the 18th,
under the ticket headed by Samuel j.
Kirkwood, they have leader entitled,
"This is no time for party, but the hour for
our country only" That jest is worthy
Of the best days of Hood.
The Clayton Co. Journal treads the
same road, but is hardly as brilliant. In
the act Of "lIere she goes, there she goes"
We found it last week supportindthe straight
party Republican ticket, and going in for
a County Union Convention without res
pect of party.
The hearts Of these editors are undoubt-
eddy eminently sound on the question of
"Union," but the embarrassments of party
ties makes some Of their editorials irresist-
ably droll.

ILLINOIS STATE FAIR.-We attended the
III. State Fair last week, but have no space
to use the extented notes we made. We
must say briefly, the exhibition was lily
managed, in swampy location, with ineffi-
cent modes Of approach for the public
The principal objects Of the exhibition was
beer and ale; the show of stock was excel
lent; everything else too inferior for coun-
ty fair. There was no cannon and rifle
target practice; there were no balloons sent
up; but there were immense crowds of
people, whe looked each other in the eyes
and said humbug. McGregor was repre-
sented by several of her best boys who
carved out no little fun during their ab-
sencc.

HONORABLE AcTIoN.-The nominees of
the Republican Convention, held in Pow
eshiek county, publish card in the Iowa
State Reporter, declining the nomination,
adducing the following reason: Shedding
it to be the duty Of every true patriot, in
the present distracted state of the country,
to make every effort and sacrifice every per-
sonal and party feeling to secure unity Of
action and feeling, and to combine every
faction and party in stern and determined
opposition to the present wicked rebellion,
which seeks the overthrow of our Govern
meat, and to render all the aid in our pow
er to sustain our government in crushing
out treason, We respectfully decline the no.
limitations rendered us by said convention,
seeking rather the public good than person
al emoluments. As there is an effort max.
ing to unite all patriotic and Union loving
citizens, we would not embarrass it by re-
mainingin the field, and dividing the Union
forces in the coming contest"
That is sound talk, and the practical evil
dence Of well grounded patriotism. So
long as people of Iowa make their thirst
for Office secondary to their love far coun-
try, no ational man can feel any forebod.
ing for his country.

SensltlveMess.

Se0SAtAVe0eSSs
A tooth with the nerve exposed and
throbbing with the force of 65 horse
power engine, is generally regarded as a
sensitive feature of ones mouth, silver
penetrating under ones finger nail is sug-
gestivc Of obstructive nerves; a particle of
unslacked lime in ones eye communicates
the "ecstacy Of pain" but the sensitive
ness of these various torturcs is of little
moment when compared with the mental
agony of the editor of the Boston Courier,
when he first pcruscd Fremont's procla-
nation. Fremonts bluntness in stating
that rebels caught within his lines with
arms in their hands shall he ''shot," sent
thrills Of agony through the editorial heart.
If, the Major General Of the western divi-
sion had said trespassing rebels would be
perforated with bullets" the Courier
would have been spared unutterable hor-
rors. The declaration, however, that slaves
of disloyal owners are declared free men,
the editor thinks is a most 'howid doc
trine" and nearly drives the New England
aristocrat TO distraction. It's means over the
mingling of chronological and military ques-
tons, says contemporary, are "cnough to
appal the strongest heart"
In view of the facts we suggest that the
compiler of the next edition of Webster
unabridged should give the following inter-
probation of the word which heads this
article

perienced by the edit or Of the Boston Courier on

On the 30th Of August General Fremont
issued a proclamation declaring that cir
cumstances in his judgment rendered it
necessary that the commanding General of
that department should assume the admin
istrative powers of the State. He there
fore declared martihal law to extend over
the whole state Of Missouri. He announc-
ed in the same instrument; that rebels taken
with arms within the lines Of occupation
should be tried by Court Martial, and if
found guilty should be shot. The proper
ty of all persons who should take up arms
against the United States, whether the same
was real or personal, should be confiscated
to the public use, and their slaves declared
free men. All persons engaged in treason
able correspondence or burning Of bridges
should feel the severity of the law, etc.
At first the President seemed to approve of
this proclamation, but soon suggested that
it exceeded the act Of Congress passed at the
recent session, which provided that persons
held to service, proven to have taken up
arms against the United States on command
of those to whom such service may be
due, should be entitled to their freedom
the laws of Congress or any state to the
contrary notwithstanding. So the Presi
dent has issued letter which we publish
in another column directing General Ere
mont to modify his proclamation.
This is the history of the matter ant
looking at it dispassionately, we fail to SCI
how President Lincoln has improved tn
order of things. Martial law, in times lik'
these, often becomes military necessity
and in such cases transcends all other lap
while in force Thus it was Of no earthl,
consequence that General Fremont's pro
clamation did transcend the act of Con
gress the only question to be consider.
ed is, was It politics The President coin
cides in the policy of the proclamation, *
far as it regarded the status of the slaves
therefore, his objections seem little els
than ridiculous.
We cannot perceive any just reason 70
discriminating in the property of rcbe
shareholders. If their cattle, horses, an,
lands are to he confs Gated, why make an,
exception against the slavce Their RICH
70 his service certainly cannot be any dca,
er than their right to the use and scrvic
Of their stock.
It strikes us very forcibly that Mr.. kin
coin has made great mistake, and serious
~ embarrassed the operations of Majo
General Fremont, at the same time embol
dening the rebels who are harrassing Toys
Union men and fighting the Government
It is doubtful policy to be mealy ,nouthc'
with regard to thcssrebcls; Actively, firm
ness, and stern military law will send tn
prowling traitors to their hbles, and civ
protection to the true and loyal, while
vascillating, timid treatment will give then
fresh courage Traitors would soon be
come scarce in Missouri were they to un
derstand that treason to the u. S. involves
the loss of ther slaves. As the matter nov
stands, the time for the humiliation ant
punishment Of the Missouri secessionist
is extended perhaps for weeks, and nothing
Is gained.
