is net done, ditching must be resorted to
at once, to keep them from leaving the
grass land. AS they march slowly, not
over half dozen rods in day, burrows
can be plowed ahead of them, two or
three made deep, and the loose soil
thrown out with a shovel, will keep them
in. This, if well done, is effectual, for
they do not hatch in the grain fields, but
so there. When they get up TO the heads
of the grain, which they do after they
have eaten the leaves, they sometimes, if
it is not we'll advanced, destroy the head,
and it is important to dlslodge them.
This is easy. Take a rope three or four
rods long and let two men sweep the
field with it. The worms will all fall 10
the ground, and will not again attempt
to get at the heads, but will travel to 9TH
er quarters. No farmer need therefore
lose anything more by them than the
meadow and pasture, and these can be
plowed up and planted to corn, or, if
needed, sown 10 rye for pasture, or corn
for hay. Hungarian grass is so uncer-
tain, and Of so little value, that we are
not disposed to recommend it.

in the idea that the invasion or rebellion
referred to must be local and confined to
our own borders, and not extra territor-
ial. This restricted Interpretation of the
constitution overlooks the true theory OF
our political system, the connection and
dependencies subsisting between the
State and Federal Governments, that the
former is member incorporate of the
latter, deriving its limited sovereignty
its legal status-its rights and powers
its independence and liberty from the
Union, the overthrow of which by re-
bellion, could not occur without in An
important sense affecting the political
status of the State.
Whether, however, this be true or
not, one thing is clear, that it is the ex-
elusive province of the law making pow

termine whether state of things exists,
making it important for the safety Of the
State, that loan of money should be ef-
fected, and inasmuch as the act authori
zing the issue and sale of State Bonds to
procure such loan, declares that il is to
enable the State to repel invasion and
defend itself in war, that absolutely con-
cludes the question; and no Court
in this country, laying the slightest claim
to respectability, would undertake to de-
termine that the facts were otherwise

HoRRIBLE OUTRAGE AND MURDER.
We announced yesterday the shooting oi
Ben Sharp. from an ambush on the North
Missouri Road, and also the wounding OF
Lieut.. Jaeger. Since then We have some
further particulars, which, for the sake OF
humanity, we hope may turn out to bs
incorrect. Lieut.. Jaeger had been wound
ed in the arm, and Capt. Sharp volun-
teered to take him to his residence in
Dansville, in his buggy On their way
thither they were met by company OF
men on horseback, and Sharp was shot
in the back, inhicting mortal wound.
The horse, frightened by the discharge
Of arms, turned round in the road and
ran to the place from which they had
started Soon after the men reached the
same place, dismounted. and declared
their intention TO hang both the prison
ers. Ii was in vain that Sharp told them
that he was mortally wounded, that he
had only littls while to live, and e..
...eated them not to subject him to such
death. They were unrelenting. and
the devils hung him and Jaeger both

From the New York Tribune.
THE ATTACK ON MANASSAS.

The Times has the following in reply
to the recent statement in our Washing.
ton correspondence that Gen. Scott or
gained the columns, appointed the off
GERS, and selected the time and points of
attack at Bulls Run. Its importance
impels us to give it the most conspicuous
publicity Says the Times.
So far as the preparation of the Ar.
my for the special service assigned it is
concerned, it is undoubtedly true that
Gen. Scott did have full control. He
probably did organize the columns, and
appoint the officers, and he may have
selected the time aud points of attack at
Bulls Run'-afler that attack had been
peremptorilv ordered by his superiors-
though we are inclined to believe that
these details were confded to Brig Gen.
Mcdowell, who was on the spot, and who
could form, from personal examination
Of the approaches, a much better opinion
as 10 the points of attack than Gen Scott.
The fact that both the time and point OF
attack were changed by Gen. Mcdowell,
proves, indeed, that in this respect, he
was left to the exercise of his own iude
ment. The original purpose was to at
tack the enemy's position on Thursday
afternoon or Friday morning. by turning
it on the south side-and Gen. Mellow
ell went personally with Col. Heinlzel.
mans column to superintend the attack.
But he found the roads on that side i'm
practicable for heavy artillery-and on
that account abandoned the plan. Fri
day was devoted to survey on the 9th
er flank and there he found the roads in
such condition as TO justify the attempt
TO turn the enemy's position on that side.
The fact that Gen. Mcdowell thus chan
ged the time of attack from Friday to
Sunday, and the point of attack from the
southern 10 the northern flank, shows
that the control Of these details was con.
fided wholly TO him by Gen. Scott, and
we presume every one will concede that
this discretion was wisely exercised, and
the change judicious.
But all this leaves The main point un.
touched. The question is, who decided
that TIE attack should be made? Who de.
tsrmined that the road TO Richmond
should be by Manassas Junction =? Who
is responsible for the plan Of operations
by which battle at this point, selected
by the rebels themselves, admirably
adapted for defense, fortified through
three long months of incessaut labor. ac.
cessble to their endorsements from
both directions, and in all respects pre-.
cisely such position as they might wish
TO make It, became matter of necessi-
ty? The paragraph quoted above, for
the purpose of relieving the President
and Cabinet throws the responsibility up
on Gen Scott. We have not the slightest
desire to involve the president and Cabi-
net in any responsibility that does not
belong to them but. on the other hand
we do not intend that Gen Scott shall be
loaded with blame for acts which were
done By others We knoV that Gen

responsible. These gentlemen must take
the responsibility of their acts, as am
willing to take that of mine. But they
must not throw their responsibility on
my shoulders.
This is the substance and very nearly
the language of a portion of Gen. Scott s
conversation on the occasion referred to.
1t proves conclusively that he was oppo-
sed to the advance upon Richmond by
way Of Manassas at that time.

G. DUNHAM, Esq.
In Gentry and Worth counties, Mis-
souri,, there are some 6 or hundred Sc
cessionists, most of them bad class of
citizens. They had been holding public
meetings at various points for drill
many iuaammatory speeches were made
to the people, accompanied with violent
threats against the Union men. Threats
were made to burn the town Of Aliens

ly at that point. The secessionists, num-
bering perhaps three hundred, were re-
ported advancing towards Allensvlle.
with the intention of destroying the town.
The Union men dispatched messages TO
Iowa for assistance. AS is usually the
case, as the reports spread they increas-
in magnitude. The citizens of Iowa i'm
mediately flew to the relief of the loyal
men of Missouri. When all arrived,
there must have been at least /, 500 men
from Iowa, armed in every conceivable
manner, and perhaps about 1000 of the
Union men of Missouri, acting as sol
diers but poorly armed.
AS soon as the forces began to arrive,
the seccssionists disbanded into squads
not exceeding dozen, perhaps, and took
to the brush and cornfelds The brush
in that region is very thick and difficult
to penetrate Nevertheless the Union
forces routed some thirty from their hi
ding places and captured them Three
or four Of the secessionists were shot in
attempting to escape. (This is reported
BY the Union scouts.) Three or four of
the worst were taken possession OF by the
Union men Of Missouri, to be conveyed
to the United States authorities at St Jo-
seph. TIE balance took the oath of al
egiance and were discharged.
On the part of the Union men, one.
of Missouri, was shot by the rebels, aud
the rebel who shot him is reported 10
have been captured and was hung An
other Union man Of Missouri accidental
" sEot himself and died One of Capt.
Wainwright's men, of Leon, was acci-
dentally shot in the leg, which will
doubtless require amputaIion.
| think the secessionists generally up.
on the border are horror-stricken. The
Union sentiment largely predominates.
The Union citizens of Iowa, at the
earnest request of their brethren in Mis-
souri, rendered them assistance against
the contemplated attack of the rebel for
ces-each citizen went on his own hook,
and were most cordially received by the
citizens of Missouri. They generously
threw open their houses and barns, and
fed men and horses, and for which they
would not receive one cent The deter
mination TO protect the stars and stripes
animated the loyal men Of both States.
For three or four days while together not
discordsnt note was heard in a camp oil
some two or three thousand soldiers, sud
denly thrown together as comparative

Life,s Battle.Field.

Each has his own one path in life,
A circle small within his ken
And a small circle, too, perchance-
We cannot all be famous men
And duties are not truly done
BY painting vainly after fame,
Or tretting for the want of chance
To quickly make brilliant name.
A brilliant name Too oft is this
The phantom that leads many on,
Until, too late, they wake, and find
The time for real en- deavor gone
Better to fill a lowly place,
And labor there with soul and heart,
Than dream ambtiously of wealth
Till time and youthful strength depart.
Do ! speak sadly? Truth tits
That in the lowest place of life
man can act hero's part,
Amid the daily toll and strife
Aye, amid hourly din and care,
Even though within the humblest home,
Can shine in virtue great and grand
AS ever gilded ancient Rome
Life's heroism does not need
spacious or lofty stage
Life's greatest de eds are not all writ
Upon the flaming golden page!
Believe me, glorious work is done,
AS the world 8 wheels still onward go,
Which ten -tongued rumor never yet
Hath blazoned, or will ever know.
Self-conquest, self lf-devotion-these
Are the high gifts which give to all
Who own them that we'll tenn pered mind,
Prepared, with fitting men, to meet
The happy gooo or bitter i'll
Unshaken, whether fate the cup
With nectar or with gall may fill!
Each Of these words, in loftier truth,
Is sure talsman in life
To guard and strengthen heart and brain
In time of hourly din and strife:
All stations they alike beft--

To every man a priceless gift
They bring, in self-respect alone
