SENSATION PARAGRAPus.-If our neigh
Dor Of The Democrat did not discover, from
his resume of the Capt. Phelps affair last
Saturday, that the article copied from The
Pennsylvania by him was, indeed, "Sensa-
ton paragraph " of the highest order, we
should certainly fail to convince him by any
argument we could adduce.
The Pennsylvanian's article, as copied, was
formidaby headed, if we mistake not
CHESTER COUNTY DISTRACTED FOR
WAR;"
Now, that would indicate one would sup
pose, an extensive military organization in
an advanced stage, and might justly excite
apprehension, as no doubt it was intended
to do. See, however. how easily mounta in
is created out Of mole.hil, according to The
Democrats own showing of last Saturday.
We contract the resume a little.
Senator Sumner delivers an abolition leg
ture, Capt. Phelps hears it and declares he
will raise regiment to march against the
South. lie goes to Chester county to carry
out MS purpose tries to raise his regiment
can't get but eleren men in all Chester county
who are without rheumatism or govt and
who are under As years of age, to volunteer;
whereupon The Jeifersonian declares that the
whole thing turned out ridiculous farce.
This is short statement of the whole affair
upon which so exciting rumor, and so for
midable !" heading was based: and this
is what we call, in common parlance. making
mountain of mole hill, which is our plain
definition Of political sensation para.
graph"
Now, about " that plot to seize the Capt.
tai copied into the Wing of Saturday last
(loth) from the New York Herald " as our
friend of the Democrat says. When we find it,
perhaps, which we have failed yet to do =
we'll tell you neighbor, how about" it.
In the meantime it may not be amiss to note
the fact here, that Elk. Gov. Lowe and Other
Breckenridge men have been sunni oncd be.
fore Congressional Committee to answer as
to their knowledge of such plot. From the
importance attached to the rumor in high
places, as well as from the examination OIL
such men as the Elk. Gov it would seem to be
much more serious matter than the repor ted
war districting Of Chester county, and no,
quite so easy of explosion as the Capt. Phelps
humbug.

RAREY, AS A HILosoPHER.-Some of Ra-
rey's sayings are maxims of wisdom. For
instance: Nature never lies. The horse is
honest. The mind of a horse governs a
horse, rs the mind of man governs man.
If you wish, therefore, to get control of the
horses body, first learn to direct his mind.
The gentle touch is more powerful than
blows. Women are better drivers than
men, because they have a gentler touch
Firmness and kindness are all the magic
there is in my method. Fear or anger in
the mind of his driver is instantly known
to the horse

"Slavery," with the encouraging remark
"Mr Johnny, take this down, like good

MALARIoUs.-Why is a Malay like a tum-

Because he has always one or two Kreeses

ARGUMENTUM ALB HoMINY.-Since the
hungry Mississippians have received gratuit-
Gus supplies of breadstufs from Chicago,
the Southern Confederacy ought to be call
ed the West-ern-cOrn-fed-era
THE DIFFERENCE.-A dinner was lately
given in London, to Colonel Sir Arthur
Cotton, Just arrived from India, where he
has done the State much service by his pro-
motion of Canalling for the purpose of irri-
cation.
The moral to be deduced from this is, that
English Cotton is superior to American Cot
ton inasmuch as the former promotes irri-
CATION, while the latter is only productive
of irritation.

having no money to lay out, has Invested

upon their camp gTo1ad, while upon our
side we escaped with one horse shot.
The rout of the rebels was complete
We took FIVE prisoners, among them the
son Of the captain of the company, and a
first lieutenant. We captured 81 horses and
81 stand of arms. After pursuing the scat
tered force of rebels as far as deemed it
prudent, | returned to their camp, gathered
their plumber together (among it the cap
tain's clothing and papers-a commission In
the Southern army, and other things too Mt
merous to mention), I started for Camp
Fremont, where I arrived without any OPP
position, save that of a number OF rebels,
who had stationed themselves some fifteen
miles from this place. AS we marched
through the valley below, they fired upon
us. As they were in position where
could not charge upon them, l was Compel
ed to march my men under their fire. All
are now here in camp, and while the conn-
try is Infested with rebels, we are subject 70

The possession of Lexington, Mo-, by the
rebel forces, will undoubtedly be followed
bT ID expedition down the river and an at
tack at an early day on Boonville and JEFF
ferson City. By the surrender OF Lexirg-
ton, we have lost several Thousand horses
and mules and large quantity of army
supplies, ammunition, sc. The reason why
Col. Mulligan was not reinforced is not so
apparent, as the telegraph informs US that
Union flags were flying at Glasgow, and the
26th Indiana went up the river toward Lex
ington, leaving two regiments behind them
at Glasgow. There is not the least doubt
bat that Lexington might have been rein
forced, if the troops at Jefferson City had
been thrown promptly forward. The with
drawal of part of Fremont's command, for
the purpose Of reinforcing Reynolds, doubt
iesa embarrassed his movements sadly. 1t
ia very evident fact that change in the
policy of the government is necessary. The
West cannot and will not furnish troops for
the protection of the whole Eastern from
tier.
The intelligence from Kentucky is daily
growing OF greater Importance. The rebels
are in force at Bowling Green, and on Green
river at different points, as far South as
Rochester. They are advancing toward Lou
isville, but will be held in check by Ros-
seau's brigade, now in possession of Null
draugh's Hill. Zollicoffer is reported to be
marching into the State from East Tennes-
see with an army of several thousand men
poorly equipped and wholly undiaciplined
The Union men of Kentucky are rallyine
around Anderson, and in few days he will
be prepared to drive the rebels from the
State.
Everything remains quiet at Washington
and it is thought no advance will be made
before November. Every day adds to the
number Of our troops and their efficiency
and when the advance is made its result;
will be satisfactory to the whole country.

sG- We regret to learn that the Artil-
lsry Company forming in our city-and
which would certainly have been an eff
cient one-is compelled to suspend opera
tions for the present. We learn that there
is not single gun to be had at Indiauapo-
lis, and there are no small arms. The Gov
ernor promises to equip such company
with 8 full battery as soon as guns and
equipments can be had. Our city needs
auch battery, and We hope yet to see this
company fully equipped.

SOIL" OF INDIANA company of Ken
tuckians, armed and equipped, with the
stars and stripes flying and martial music,
landed from the Eugene yesterday and
marched through our principal streets
They were sturdy, hearty set and were
on no holiday excursion. They came as an
escort for the 500 guns, sent here for the
Hartford, KY, Regiment. The agent of
Adams Express delivered the arms to the
company, and they were shipped to Ovens
boro, where the remaining companies had
arrived. The Hartford Regiment marched
across the country and took possession of
Greensboro early yesterday morning. Their
appearance was unlocked for, and the occu-
patton of the place has disarranged the
plans of the rebels, who, it is said, expected
to take the town.
The escort company after visiting the
camp of the 4lst, marched down Water
street and were drawn into an ambuscade
at the American House, where an ample
supper had been prepared for the ruth
