I Governments has slighted him aad his State.
Massachusetts, has sent FIVE regiments into
the field, and has been honored with two Ma
ior Gcncrals-Butler and Banks-both the Jun.
iors of Gen. Dix, while New York, which has
sent forward m entire corps de a,mee Of thir-
ty thousand men, has yet to be recognized by
the appointment of . single United States Ma
jor-Genenl.
! II Business is said to be absolutely dead at
Richmond. The slaves are as the masters say,
eating their own heads Of. The reign of terror
is complete. Union men are flying as speedily
as possible in order to avoid the imprisonment
as hostages for the return of rebels captured by
our government. Already, the rose-colered
visions of the secessionists have faded into
dismal brown, mol to say awful blue.
! IL A New York broker says he has recently
received from different parties at the South
six hundred thousand dollars, to be invested
in Northern securities of permanent charac-
ter.
u An appropriate text for a patriotic dis
course may be found in the nineteenth verse Of
the twelfth chapter of jeremiah: "Ths cities
of tn. South shall be shut up, and none shah
open then-"
! U' Nine hundred and seventy.two mu.kets
and several cannon have recently been sent by
the rebels to Northwestern Arkansas, to be used
! in case Of ar invasion from Kansas.
F An IMPROVED CArEcHTsx.-A young miss
of our city whose requirements are rather be-
yond Ter four summers, was few days since
repeating her catechism at her mothers knee.
! In response to the question, "What did God
create r. she said, "The earth, the sun, the
moon, the stars-and strires."-Belfaa Jour

| u Col Anderson, though an honored mem
Der Of the Masonic fraternity, was not recogniz-
ed BY single Sosthern Mason.
r Wherever rebel troops were stationed in
Virginia last week no man was allowed to vote
for the Uaion. So that the troops would have
plenty of time to enforce the right kind of vo-
ting, they were allowed themselves to vote the
day before the election.
U The Vicksburg (Miss.) Sun sounds an
alarm. 1t says the Government is evidently rs
well informed of the movements Of the con-
federates as they are themselves. Hence, it
concludes that the whole South is swarming
with abolition cmmisaries, whom it becomes
christian and patriotic duty to catch and hang.
PA CoIScrDExcE.-Junc 18th, was the
seventy fifth anniversary of Gen. Scott's birth,
and also the day appointed by JEFF. Davis for
fasting and prayer throughout the "Confeder-
acy." The traitors could not have chosen a
better day on which to mourn.
&C The President has frequently, of late, re-
piled to important questions: "Wait a little
while and you will be convinced that the Gov
eminent is not idle" Something is on foot
which will startle quiet people North and South,
by-and-by.
u Since Russell, Of the London Times, has
begun to tell few truths in regard to the trail
tors he has been warned out of the land of Cot
ton. He now sees, or ought to see the kind of
"lberty" the Confederates are fighting for.

embalmist, has received commission as sur.
geon in the United States army. His duty will

bodies it my be desirable to preserve.

% The story going the rounds that the Mar
shall House, Alexandria, where Col. Ellsworth
was assassnated, was the stopping place of Gen.
Washington, is q mistake. 1t was Gen. Heffe-
blowers City Hotel, opposite Federal Hill,
where the Father of his Country formerly oc.
cupied rooms when in Alexandra. These rooms
are now used as parlors.
" battery of the celebrated Whitworth
guns. twelve Founders, with ammunition and
carriages complete, has just arrived in this city,
as present to the government from TatrIotic
Americans abroad. Each one of the guns
bears the following inscription: "Frsm loyal
Americans in Europe to the u s. Government,
1861.
% One day last week, large Jersey schoon-
sr, of the coast of Maine, spoke a whaler fly.
ng the secession flag, and asked what flag it
vas. "None Of your id business, !" responded
he whaler. The Jerseyman put up his helm
n a aji6y, and ran toward the whaler, shouting
,oarsely through his trumpet: "Haul down thas
lag or I'll sink you !" Down came the emblem
# treason.
u An attempt is being made, BY an artesian
veil inside Fortress Monroe. to secure an abun-
liant supply Of fresh water at all times. In the
'ear 1877, an attempt was made to supply tho
,arrison with water BY the same means, and tho
Iepth of three hundred and ten feet into the
owels Of the earth was attained. but With i'll
uccess, - the water scarcely appeared in the
mallest quantity. The new well is twelve In
hes in diameter, and depth Of fifty feet had
een reached.
T The excellence of the bread made from
Ice hour is extensively commented npon BY
he Southern newspapers, and the new "stsaof
fe" will doubtless come into general use.
