Wool at Chicago.
1t is eyident that the farmers do not
desire to dispose Of their wool at the
present low prices. Cur wool, they say,
is an article we can keep with little or
no Inconvenience, and it will De just as
good after 4 while as now-priccs, they
say, will not get much lower. And, we
think, they are about right. If the
farmer can store his wool away, and
Withhold it from the market, we do not
think he will lose anything, and, per-
haps, may do better y sample of

Destruction OF snse7, in Western New
| York.

The Rochester (N. y LIo'on says:
The cold rain storm Of the I'd instant
proved very destructive to the Hocks OF
the farmers in this and The surrounding
counties, particularly in Ontario. The
annual shearing of the sheep was post
poned OF account of the backward sea-
son, until June, and late in that month.
The wool growers had but just taken
the feeces from the sheep, i'll many in
stances, when the cold storm came on,
and wherever the fiocks were exposed
they suffered severely. In the town of
Victor, the farmers lost from 6ve to tea
per cent. Of their Gocks An extensive
wool grower, Mr. iIamlin Of Bloomfield,
lost one hundred sheep out OF a flock Of
nine hundred. In most instances the
animals died after they had been got
into comfortable quarters. The storm
had chilled them, in their nakedncss,
and vitality thus lost could not lie re
stored.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, !

Ny Dear Sir: 1t gives NE great pleas
ure to be the. medium Of transmission ol
these weapons, to be used in the defens:
of national sovereignty upon the soil o
Kentucky. e.
Though some years have passed since
I left my native State, / have never
ceased to contemplate her progress in
happiness and prosperity with senti-
ments Of fond and fIial pride. In ev.
cry effort Of industrial energy, in every
enterprise Of honor and valor, my heart
has been with her. And l rejoice in
the consciousness that, at this time
when the institutions to whose fostering
care we owe all that we have of happi-
ness and glory are rudeIy assailed by
ungrateiul and parricidal hands, the
State of Kentucky, ever true and loyal,
furnishes to the insulted flag of the
Union Il guard Of her best and bravcst
sons On every field the prowess of
Kentuckians has been manifested. In
the holy cause of national defense they
must be invincibe.
Please accept, sir, these weapons as a
token OF the pride with which | have al
ways regarded the exploits Of her sons,
and Of the confidence which [ feel the uI-
innate loyalty Of her people, who, while
never forgetting the homage which their
beloved State may justly claim, still re
member the higher and grender a!legj-
ance dae to our common country.
Yours very sincerely.

sECEssIoN1srs IN THE SENATE.

The House Of Representatives is pro-
crossing so rapidly with the public bust
ness that its members grow very impa-
tient with the slow action of the Senate
In the House the sentiment is so in
tensely loyal, and there are SO few trait
ors, that there is little inclination to
speak. Besides, the House has its pre-
vous question, and its FIVE minutes rule
in Committee of the Whole, which re-
strains the tendency to make long
speeches It is entirely different in the
Senate. The rebels have good many
sympathizers there, and they are not
afraid to utter their treason day after
day. 1t is about time this sort of thing
should stop: and SO say most of the Sen
ators. They will not consent to stay
much longer there tosshstem to traitor
Gus speeches. Of the open secession
lists there are but four, those from Mis-
souri, and Kentucky; but The two from
Delaware, one from Maryland and one
from Indiana, are sympathizcrs with the
rebellion. To the surprise Of many.
Latham, of California, is voting queerly
on QuGSllOnS COuHeclcu WIFI Inc GCDHl =
lion, and which have been presented to
the Senate. He was opposed to the ex-
pulsion Of traitorous Senators-''expul-
sion was too harsh procedure!' When
loyal men talk in that style Of traitors,
we'll may rebellion lift its head Nc
Dougail, Latham's colleague, admins
tered a severe rebuke to him for his
maudlin sympathy with traitors. "Trea-
son always was a gentlemanly crime, !"
said he, ''but shall we retain traitors in
the Senate because they are gentlemen"
The revolution in the Free States will
yet compel such men as Bright and
Latham to retire from public life, or
more nearly to represent their constit
uents. Yet these gentlemen pass among
our troops over the river, in company
with the still more disloyal members OF
Congress, and doubtless discuss the power
Of the United States and the prospect
that the rebellion will be put down.

the following interesting incident:
There is story told by one OF the
Seventh, that no enc can listen to with
out tears and glow of pride in our
New England soldiers, He says
awhile eEcanpetl in Maryland, I wan
dered off one day, and came to farm
house, where saw a party Of those
Massachusetts fellows-wcll, no they
we're Rhode Island boys, but its all the
same talking to q woman who was
greatly frightened. They tried in vai.. to
quiet her apprehenaions. They asked
for food ana she criel. @, take ali I
have, taken eTerything, bat spare my
sick husband % darn it, said one Of
the men, ''we amt going to hurt you.
We want something to eat" But the
woman persisted in being frightened in
spite Of al! efforts to reassurc her, and
hurried whatever food she had on the
table. But, said the Lieutenant, when
she saw this company stand about the
table with barred heads, and tall gaant
man raise his hand and invoke Gods
blessing on the bounties spread before
them, the poor womaa broke down with
"a fit Of sobbing aad crying. She had no
longer any fears, bnt bid them wait, and
in a few moments she had made the hot
coffee in abundance. She then emptied
their cantesns Of the muddy water they
contained AMI aileI them with coffee
Her astonisI,ment increased when they
