How the BIS stung the Chivalry.

Anintellgent officer of the 2Sth Regiment,
N. Y. s. NJ, writing from Arlington Hghts,
gives an interesting account Of an interview he
had with the five rebel prisoners brought in
to camp by Lieut.. Tompkns and his dra-
goms, Of Company B, on the morning of
their capture. He says the "chvalry' be-
haved in very unmanly manner, begging
in the most ahject style for their lives, and
protesting that they only served in the rebel
ranks upon compnlsion. One of their off
GERS declared if he could only be liberated
this time he would swear fealty to the Union
and never set his foot in Il Slave State again.
We give an extract from the letter, from
which it will be preceved that the charge
ofthe Dragons left u lively impression upon
the minds ofthe Secessionists.
Their account of the fight was amusing.

EDITORIAL SUMMARY.

A man, whose assumed name was Will
liams, an agent Of the Government, was ar
rested at Harper's Ferry last week, and i'm
mcdiately hung as spy.....Judge Conway
has been nominated for reelection to Con
gress from Kansas. The brothers of Col.
Ellsworth's $ assassin are believed to be the
murderers of the United States pickets, at
various points about Washington and Alex
andria.. ......Mss Spafford, to whom Col.
Ellsworth was engaged to be married, is the
great great niece of Gen. Joseph Warren,
who fell on Bunker Hill. She is the great
grand daughter of the late DR.. John Warren
of Boston, the father of the late Dr. John
G. Warren. 1t is a remarkable circumstance
that this young lady should be connected
with the first prominent martyr Of the
American Revolution, and with the first
commissioned officer slain in the conflict of
| 1861. The Detroit Tribune states that G.
II. O'Rearden, one of the Cardigan regi-
ment, the gallant six hundred who rode
through that solid phalanx of Russians at
Baaklava, and sabred the artillcrymen at
their guns, has enlisted in the Coldwater

TIE NUMBER KILLED AT PHILLIPrI.
Notwithstanding the many conflicting ac-
counts Of the loss ofthe rebels at Pbillippi
it is becoming pretty clear that good many
of the fugitives bit the dust Their policy
appears to have been the same as at the
seige of Sumter, to conceal their real loss;
and to do this they piled the dead and
wounded in wagons and fed with them as
precipitately as they could. We conversed
with a gentleman who left Philippi Satur-
day afternoon and he saysit is now generally
conceded there that a good many were
killed-not less than 40 or 80. He had
talked with Mr. Shuttlesworth, who resides
near Phillippi, and Mr.. s. told him that
on hill, some four miles beyond Pillippi,
near the Beverly road he had that day seen
about forty newly made graves. Who were
buried in them he did not know, but the
graves were there. The gentleman who
gave us this information is man of unim-
peachablc veracity, and he says tho same of
Mr.. 5. II this be true, and considering that
their best men would not be buried there in
discriminatory but would be taken on home
for interment, we may begin to conclude that
there was somebody hurt ut the battle of
Phillippi after ALL Perhaps this was what
they had been doing with the spades, picks
ndshoyels which Col. Vennum smessengers
reported them as having with them. They
needed them to bury their dead more than
for fortiiying The only pity seems to be
that the gallows should be so cheated of its
dues. i Wheeling lntelligencer.

The most satisfactory assurances are re.

recognition of the Southern Confederacy in
any form by that Government. An entirely
friendly feeling towards tho U. s. Govern

the Contederates put forth in regard to the

The Nashville Union of Sunday ioots up

From the best sources it is believed that
the entire Secession force in Virginia does
not exceed $4,000 to 10000.
Gen. Beauregard has issued proclama-
ton from Manassas Junction extravagantly
picturing the deplorable consequences to
be expected from an invasion by Federal
troops.

WHAT NEXTp

Gen. Buchncr of the Kentucky State
Guard, has ordered all the soldiers under his
command to swear fidelity to the Constitu-
ton Of the United States. The Louisville
Courier advises all the members to comply
at once, and then proceeds to show them
how they can commit perjury by making
mental reservations. 1t copies for this pur-
pose an article from Russellville paper,
which asserts that swearing to support the
Constitution of the United States does not
involve the necessity of supporting the Ad-
ministration, or prevent citizens of Ken
tucky from resisting an invasion of Federal
troops What next?
We copy the above into our columns, for
the purpose Of calling attention to it, and
in that connection, remarkable editorial in
the last issue of the secession concern down.

position for 4th Of July celebration, says,
there is not Democrat or Bell man (why

porters Of Mr.. John c. Breckinridge) in
the county who will not freely, heartily, and
sealously, with both hands raised to heaven,
take the oath" to support the Constitution.

AT meeting of Americans in London,
recently, Col Clay, of Kentucky, stated
that it was determined by the Administra-
ton and Gen. Scott to send troops South in
three columns, sufficiently large to overcome
all resistance one column to move down
the sea coast through Virginia--another
down the Mississippi, and the third to pene-
trate the interior of the country. This plan
was pointed out to us several weeks ago by
our military friend, Gen. Weir, but we are
not informed whether he made the sugges-
ton to Old Chepultepec or not. Thus will
the great Southern Rebellion be wiped out.

THE CONSTITUTION.
WITH
The Supreme Court Construction.
NO COERCION--NO CIVIL WAR

The above is the platform upon which all
true national men should now rally. Let the
cry go forth from every village. hamlet and
homestead OF the North. Let il be re echoed
wherever there is an American treemen. Let
it be the standard Of every white man jealous
Of his liberty, and proud of the glorious achieve
ments Of his race. Let it cherished by every
citizen desrous Of transmitting TO his children
the glorious heritage of his fathers. The issue
is made up. Mr.. Lincoln has repudiated the
Supreme Court decision, because it denies that
negroes can be citizens. Are white men Iea-
dy to see their government pass into the hands
Of race whuse history is blank, and who
have never given the first evidence Of civiliza-
ton? Do they wish to see the blood Of their
children contaminated by amalgamatlon? Can
the mother think, without horror, Of the fair
child now at her side becoming the associate Of
negroes? But can we have political without
social equality? That is impossible. The one
inevi ably follows the other, and yet such is the
terrible and revolving programme insugurated
at Washington on the 4ih March. It's accom-
plishment can only be prevented by earnest ef
tort. Let every town and county, then, at
once organize clubs and associations. A few
active men can set the ball in motion, and it
only needs to be started to sweep the country
like a whirlwlnd. -
