southern ARM destined for the conquest of
Washington city and the District of Columbia.

a solitary railroad train, going in the direction
of Richmond, that was not loaded with troops
and munitions. From Charleston alone, dur
ing the two days he was there tour thousand
armed men started for the Virginia reDdez
vous. He says these general and rapid move
ments are not reported in the papers Of the
confederate states, but he has no doubt the
army at Richmond will prove tremendous i'll
its strength OF numbers. He tells us that all
the men he met with, military officers and
others, spoke of the conquest OF Washington

A Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune stated that Hon. Gideon Welles,
secretary of the navy, with MIR. Seward had
been backward to adopt such thorough meas
ures against the secessionists as were favored
by Messrs. Chase, Blair, and Cameron. This
was contrary to our knowledge of the man,
and in direct contradiction of all our advices.
In word, we knew very well that it could not
be true. Mr.. Wees was trained in the school
of Jackson democracy, and he is as far as pos
sible from being a patering ccmpromisers.
The Hartford Courant confirms our view Of
the matter, and notices the Tribune's cores
pondent as follows -
"The Tribunes correspondent does Mr..
Welles gross injustice. Mr.. Welles has never
wavered one moment, since the first outbreak
of the secession traitors, in his desire and his
determination that his voice and influence
should sustain the policy of putting down re-
bellion and treason, and bringing tile whole
power of the government to enforce the laws
and maintain the Union inviolate. Mr.. Lin
coin has had no firmer supporter in all his cab
met than Mr.. Welles. The friends of Mr..
Welles know he has never wavered, and that
he has not, and never WILL consent'to make
any terms with the rebels short OF their sub.
mission to the authority of the United States
government. Mr.. Welles is fully up to public
sentiment at the north, and in his official acts
will not disappoint those who desire to see the
war prosecuted with all the energy possible. !"

A HORRIBLE CoNFEssIoN.-It NAV be

about four years ago we published the aw.

the Perkins family, at Miburn, at nigh,
when all the family, including father and
mother, grandmother and eight children,
eleven in all, perisbed in the flames A
Scotchman by the name of Walter Mitchell

and who had dispute with Perkins as to
the property, was suspected of the murder
but no proof could be found agaiDgst him.

burning of the house he warned Perkins of
the premises, and threatened If be did not

This Mitchell recent y died 10 Illinois, and
on his death bed confessed that be commit

threw into the house bottle of LIQUID
which set fire to it and stup2fed the inmates,
that Mr.. Perkins aroused himself and came
to the door, when be knocked him back
again. killing him.
This is a most revolving story, disclosing
a depravity which was too horrible to die

The Tone OF Bullets.

A soldier writing from one of the camps
on the Potomac, thus alludes to the pecu.
liar music made by bullets passing through
the air:
1t is very good place to exercise the
mind, with the enemy's picket rafting close
at hand. A musical ear can study the diff
ferent tones of bullets as they skim through
the air. | caught the pitch of large
sized MIME yesterday, it was aswell from
f fat to F, and as it passed into the dis
tance and lost its velocity, receded to d, a
very pretty change. One OF the most start.
ling sounds is that produced by the Hotch.
kins' shell. 1t comes like the shrek of q
demon, and the bravest old soldiers feel like
ducking when they b. ar it. 1t is no more
destructive than some other bullets, but
there is great deal in mere sound to work
on mems fears. The tremendous
scream is cause by ragged edge Of lead,
which is left on the shell. In favorable DO.
sitions of light the phenomena can some.
times be seen, as you stand directly behind
a gun, OF the clingiDg of the air to the ball.
The ball seems to gather up The atmosphere
and carry it along, as the earth carries its
atmosphere through space. Men are fre~
quently killed by the wind of a cannon shot.
There is a law which causes the atmosphere
to cling to the earth, or which presses upon
it with force at the surface, of Is pounds
to the square inch; does the same law, or a
modification, pertain to cannon balls in
fight? | do not renenb of meeting with
a discussion of the subject in any published
work. 1t is certainly an interesting phio.
sophie question.

WILL YOU LOVE ME THEN

If dire misfortunes overcast
My pathway, now so bright,
And stern adversity's chill blast
My gladstone spirits blight,
Or pride and waywardness abide
Within my heart again,
Will you, whatever woes betide,
o! will you love me then?
If four score years, perchance, shall bow
This form, erect and light,
Age whiten the fair auburn locks.
And make the eye less bright;
If Time, with unrelenting hand,
Deep lines the once smooth brow,
Will you his blighting power withstand,
And love me then as now?
If Fortunes swift revolving wheel
Should crush US in its round,
And we in Poverty's deep tolls
Were ruthlessly inbound,
Could thus thy heart still cherish me,
Or would it then grow cold
o, Willie would you love me then
With the same love of old?
