NORTHERN TEARs-INCENsE FOR CHIvAL-
RY.-The Southern papers are making use
of Hon Mr.. Ely, the Congressman from the
Rochester district, New York, who was so
unfortunate as to be captured by the rebels
at Bulls Run, as sort of casing in which
to set their jewel "chivalry." A Rich
mond letter to Georgia paper gets up the
story in dramatic style, as follows;
Mr.. Ely was visited few days ago by
Messrs. Keitt, Bocock and Pryor, who in
formed him that they called on an errand OF
mercy, and were DESTROYS to do something
to better his condition, provided it did not

On the left of the $40 is an admirable like
ness of President Lincoln in the centre the
American eagle; and on the right full
length figure representing the Arts. In the
centre of the $50 note is full-length figure
of Justice. The other parts of it are filled
with combination of geometrical lathe
work and other. securities against counter
feiting.
They are of convenient size for cir
culating medium.
The 100 interest notes will be ready for
issue on the lst of September The Post
gives the following description of their de-
signs:
Fifties, distinguished by very large en-
craving of the American eagle; one hun
dred dollar notes, which viii be ornamented

best and most life-like portrait of the origi-

The energy which marked the action of
the city in April, when the contest had
scarcely commenced, is now fast fading
away, when the action is more apparent
than ever before. Then, companies were
engaged in drilling, even in business hours,
and Marble Hall was school for recruits,
every evening in the week. Then, both the
municipal authorities and our prominent
citizens, were alive to the necessity OF keep
Ing afoot, military force large enough to
secure the absolute safety of the city. To
this feeling we owe the Home Guard, con-
sisting of three or four companies-none of
them, however, full. The feeling that ami
mated every one in April, has completely
died out. Our citizens are forgetful of tn
duty of learning to be soldiers, and they
seem to think that their hearty expression
of sympathy is all that is asked of them
Forgetting the little distance that separates
us from the actual seat of hostilities, we are
content to see the State stripped of every
regiment, and our own city. left to the chan
ces of escape from the worst fortunes of war
with no serious effort to save it.
1t seems strange that in the hurly-burly
of war now raging over our heads, the men
left comfortably at home, either from choice
or necessity, should no: be alive to the ne
cessity of joining one of the organization;
intended for home service. 1t is passing
strange that our citizens do not realize thu
Importance of an efficient military organi
cation. Time after time, we have called
their attention to it, and yet no response il
made to the call. The State of Kentuck.

Sickness AT RICHMoND-MoRE HOSPITALS
WANTED.-The Richmond Enquirer says:
@The Central cars yesterday brought down
from the camps near Manassas, three hum
dred and fifty of our sick soldiers, most of
whom are aufering with the measels, while
some few are sick with bilious and other
affections. Such large addition to our
sick list urgently requires another good hos
pital, which we hope will be selected and
fitted up without the least delay. 1t will
also further tax the attention and liberality
of our citizens, who have already done so
much in alternating the suferings of the in
valids among US"
The Richmond Dispatch, alluding to the
increase of sick soldiers, says: "We re-
peat, our hospitals are crowded. Yesterday
morning two hundred and thirty-two sick
were added by the morning trains. We
want, therefore, more room, more nurses
more everything for the sick. Private
houses, it is hoped, will yet be offered fol-
the accommodation of part of the increas'
| ing numbers. We beg our citizens to con.
tinue, and, if possible, extend those goot
offices which, to their lasting praise be j
spoken, they have so cheerfully and liberal
" performed toward the poor soldier"

STATEMENT OF a REFUGEE FROM THE
REBEL ARMY.-The N. Y. Herald's Wash
ington correspondent of Friday, says:
Another refugee from the rebel army ar
rived here to-day. He was New Yorker,
residing in Mobile at the breaking out of
the rebellion. He was assessed five hun
dred dollars for the expenses of the war
His property was seized and sold for six
hundred dollars to pay the assessment, and
to save his life he was compelled to enlist
in the rebel army. His position was
upon the Rappahsnnock river, where he
stole skif, and hoated down into the
Chesapeake, where he was picked ND by
one of our vessels. He reports that the
rations of the rebel army are stinted, that
they are reduced to allowance Of coffee only
twice week, and that the Georgia and
South Carolina regiments returning home
after the engagement at Bull Run did not
number more than a hundred men each.

The Twenty-fOurth Indiana RegiS
memEs

From the Missouri Democrat of Tuesday.
The TWenty-fOurth Indiana Regi~
This ine regiment under the command
of Col Alvin P. Hovey, is now quartered
in School House Grove, in Carondalet, and
have a splendid camping ground. We VS.
tied them last Saturday evening, and I'M
fortunately got on the ground just as the
regiment was being dismissed from dress
parade. We saw the boys" however,
and must say that in our judgment the Oath
Indiana is very hard to beat, and some of the
crack regiments of our friend and neighbor
Illinois, will have to look to their laurels.-
Colonel Hovey is late of the Circuit and SUI
preme Bench of that State, and is a gentle
man of ability and those social qualities that
command the respect of all who are assocIa-
ted with him. The best evidence, to our
mind. that regiment of men will be effl-
Gent on the field is, that they have entire
confidence in their officers and with this
the case, and skillful maneuvreing, there is
a tremendous power in q thousand men.-
Lieut.. COL Gerber was Major of the Sixth
Indiana Regiment, who was with Mcclellan
in Western Virginia, and was also in the
Mexican war. Major Cyrus g. Hines wa:
also in Western Virginia, in Gen. Morris:
staff, and was at the battles of Cheat River
| and Laurel Hill. This regiment is made
up of the same material of those noble Indi
anians who have done such splendid ser
| vice in Virginia, under Lew. Wallace ant
others, eof the same cool, quiet, determin
ed metal that makes things rattle, whel
they have anything to do. The men ar
well equipped and uniformed, and in yer,
good health and spirits.
