The 4&nastest Thing Yet
Some wonderful things have been
done during the war, but the
smartest thing yet was the battle
of Piketown, Ky. The Confeder-
ate force consisted of 100 men,
615 infantry, and l25 cavalry,
OF these the Federal troops killed
400 and took 2,700 prisoners
What became of the balance we
are unable to learn. We hope they
are vet living to repent OF their
treason. The success of the led
eral cause canno longer be doubted.
We can beat the Coniederates at
everything-e en- at lying

The Mask Off.

| In recent speech in Spring
field, Mass, Simon Cameron, Lin
coins Secretary of War, thus
boldly. threw off the mask in re-
gard to the war:
Mr.. Cameron spoke of the cause
of the war, and said that every
body understood what had pro-
duced it; it was the discordant ele-
ment of slavery. In regard to
that institution, he believed that
the end of the war would be the
end of slavery, unless the rebels
returned to their duties and 10y
atty.
The Secretary, in the course of
the conversation, further remarked
that in fitting out the expedition
which had so recently sailed for
the South, he had directed that
an extra quantity of guns should
accompany the forces, and that
the commander should place these
arms in the hands Of any men who
might offer to use them. He had
no doubt that plenty of them
could be found, even in South
Carolina, who would be willing to
fight for the cause of freedom and
preservation of the Union. In
this belief he would see that any
other expedition that might here
after go South should take suffi-
cient arms to enable those who de
sired to take the field in aid of the
Union cause.

BALTIMORE, Sept 8.
Some important arrests have been made here
wi thin the last twenty. four hours, which does
credit to the Wig lance of the government On
Saturday night the officers arrested M. J Grady
and nineteen others, mostly residents of the 9th
Ward, at the North Point Monument House on
the Trap road about eight miles from the city
who were endeavoring to make their way to Vlr-
ginia The party had gone thither in their wa
CONS and were to have embarked IN schooner
probably for the western shore of Mary land and
thence for Virginia. Among the articles seized
was quantity of red flannel, several military
uniforms packages of letters, medicines &C.,
and secession flag. The whole party were TAX
en- to Fort McHenry this morning.
About day-brcak this morning, A. William

MISTAKE ALL RoUND.-Since our last publi-
cation, the knowledge of two separate and dis
tinct persons named S. D. Wood, has come to
light. The Rough and Ready Wood is not the
man we meant We beg his pardon, and take
back all we said about him in the Black List
The real S. d. Wood-the man we sought-re-
ceived the paper, it seems, through the courtesy
of friend and relative, never having subscribed
for it himself; and being in quite different part
of the State than either Sonoma or Rough &
Ready, failed to receive the letters which we ad
dressed him. The gentleman who represents
Mr.. Wood, claims credit OF S. which was omit
ted to be given by our predecessors. This omis-
sion led to our mistake. We are pleased to say
that the person who subscribed in Mr.. Woods
name, is gentleman in every respect response

Such representative specimens as Phil. Herbert,

MEN are good, they are, virtually, the principle;
for they will not fail to follow it to its logical
conclusions. But no reliance can be placed on
bad man to carry a good principle out In

WOMAN's TEARS.
Say not that woman's tears are weak;
That heartlessly they fall;
That they no language ever speak,
And come without call
For who are those that grieve and weep
Who sorrow claim to know,
Save those who daily walk the deep
Dark labyrinths of woe?
When men despair, and often give
Their manhood DER to shame
And in their frenzy cease to live
Worthy of human name
Woman in wisdom bows her head,
And Bids the potent tear
Relieve the heart from anguish dread,
And then to disappear.
More valor thus to her is given
More valor she requires,
Than he who to the battles driven,
Or after fame aspires;
Then judge her not of feeble mind
Whose tears in torrents flow;
'Tis better some relief to find
Than on to ruin go. S. B.

"The President asks for an appropriation of
sS4OO,OOO,OOO to prosecute the war. This will be
but drop in the bucket, and what is more, it all
has to come sooner or later out of the pockets of

A FUNNY FELLow.-Napoleon has wit, it
seems, as well as sagacity. He will recognize
the independence of the Southern Confederacy
when, like Italy, it has achieved position to
warrant such diplomacy. The Emperor knows
full well that he is not likely to be called upon
for a redemption of his promise soon. He could
make it with the utmost impunity. There is but
one Garabaldi in the world, and his name is not
JEFF. Davis, by long shot.
