SoUBs BY PRENTIoE-The Louisville Jour-
nal contains the following:
One of the Kentucky secession papers a
few weeks ago talked about "the fence of
armed neutrality" The secession party of
our State is now upon that very fence, but
like buzzard, it defles every fence it perches
en-
Toombs the Confederate Secretary recent
~ sent to Gen. Scott an ear of green corn in
the husk, with his compliments, We are
glad he did not send any of his Cobbs back
TO Washington.
A preacher in the Southern part of the
State preached at us on Sunday week The
fellow is fit for braying than praying.
Gen Pillow has sent word to Parson
Brownlow. inviting the Parson to serve as
Chaplain in his army. Go, Parson, and when
you pray for heavens blessings on Pillow
Zip wink towards the sky, and the Lord
will know what you mean.
Virginia gives notice that no persons with
in her limits shall leave there. Then why
does she complain that the Yankee troops
continue TO pollute her soil? AS she won't
let them out, what can they do but keep up
the pollution? And. if she kills them, won't
they pollute her soil even worse than they
doknow?
Il Georgia editor deprecating the use of
Northern manufactures, says, cant we make
our own paper?' We have no doubt that
the fellow makes his own paper, but it is a
very mean one.
A fellow writing in an Alexandria Na.) J
paper under the name of \. H. korn calls MS
IAN old tory" korn must be green. Won't
somebody send us an of green Korn?
If the Tennessee dsunionists experience
any lack of provisions, why don't they estab-
lsh Provisional Government?
Tne LIME PogNr CAsE.-lIow $i25 ,060 is

before. ground can be secured ON which to
build fort needed fer the defense of this
harbor, can be aseertained hy reading the
testimony given in the Lime Point case
which appears in the local columns of to-
days Bulletin. We can only say that we are
astonished at this testimony. We have al
wGys believed that Senator Broderick ex-
pressed an honest opinion when he said that
all the land at and adjacent to Lime Point
required by Government for military pur-
poses, was not worth more than So 600 This
Is sthe opinion that has generclly prevailed in
San Francisco among good judges of real
estate values, who were familiar with the
point OF rocks IN question. NutWithstand-
ing the evidence now presented to the con-
trary, We still think Lime Point has no value
except to sell to Government for military
uses. This opinion, we think, will be arrived
at by any man Of ordinary intelligence who
will take the trouble to personally examine
the locality in question. as we have done
ANY person who will seriously pretend that
Lime Point is a good or even available place
for warehouses, steamboat landings, depots
for the transhipment of grain or any com
mercial purpose of importance, such as to
make land in that uegh borhood of value as
town property, must expect TO lose all repu-
tatlon for good sense in this community Such
preteneee would be g%dicuously absurd, were
1t not that the extortion of Si25,0O0 from the
national treasury in such times as the pres
ent, on such pretenoes, is too serious matter
TO laugh about.-S. +. Buiketin
The tract of land which has been valued
at Sl25,o0o embrrces 1889 acres Does the
Government require it allf If Lime Point
was situated on an eleven league grant, would
the Government be compelled to buy the
whole grant, in order to secure the desired
location for forti6cation?
