TaIe OF n shirt.

One OF the TRAITORS or spies arrested III
Harrisburg, Pa, few days ago, on his way
from Virginia to New York, was a man ma
med W. j. Kelly. He and his two COM
rades were all thoroughly searched, and
evidence was found on each to prove that
they were properly arrested. Mr.. Kelly's
turn was the last one, and was much the
most interesting. he had taken off all his
clothes but his shirt, but nothing CONTRA
band or reasonable had been found on
him. He stood thus before the Mayor and
an examining officer, and, under the cir
cumstances, the position was very em-
barrassing one, for, to say nothing of ordi-
nary modesty, which may even exist
among the rebels, the ownerof that shirt
knew that 1t was lined with treason. The
raising of that garment would reveal his
treason, and probably make his life forfeit.
The moment of suspense, during which
Mr.. Kelly stood thus before his curious
captors must have been u rather agonizing
one. But fancy his feelings when the OIL
Ger remarked something peculiar in the
hang of the shirt, and fancy them when he
was ordered to take it off, He trembled
and turned pale, and his bare knees shook
aud knocked together. He could not
endure the shock to his modesty /;
he called for water; he was on the point
of fainting. But the officers were inexora-
BILE. The shirt came off, and the treason
as well as the person of Mr.. Kelly was laid
bare. The shirt was a marvel of ingenius
needle work, having various well conceal
ed pockets, in which were found numerous
letters from the South some from men in
the rebel army to their friends in Balti-
moro; others to men in New York, and
number for Europe. In addition to this,
there were various bills of sale, dated at
Richmond, for pork and other article, aud
large packages of money, principally in
notes on banks in the Confederate States.
All Of these articles, says the reporter,
were done up in neat packages, and looked
as if they had been subjected to the pres
sure of an hydraulic press. The ingenui-
ty that contrived this new mode of carry
ing letters was commendable; but it was
bafled by the perseverance and patience
of the officers at Harrisburg. Mr.. Kelly
was provided with another shirt and ae-
eommodsttons with his comrades in the
county prison. The money was placed
for safe keeping in one of the banks, and
the letters and other documents were de-
livered to the Attorney General. There
ought to be valuable revelations in these
documents concerning spies aud traitors
in New York, as well as in other places.
Kelly's shir. is valuable acquisition for
the Government.

SAYS the editor ofthe Louisville Joprn-
al: ION the evening of the late State
Guard muster in Louisville, as We were
walking in our usual very quiet manner
from our home to our Office, musing upon
the affairs of State, We passed some very
pretty young girls, eight or ten years old,
standing on the edge of the sidewalk, one
ofwhOm waved secession flag briskly
over US, and not being able to attract our
our attention in that way, gave MS smart
on the forehead with the flagstaff. We
bOreitlike the Christian gentleman We Try
to be. The female half of young America
Is, We fear, getting to be little the fastest
OF the two. Well, if that half is so fast as
never to be caught by the other halt, the
breed may happily become extinct.

MAJOR @. B. WHEAT.-This officer Of
the Confederate. army was dangerously
wounded in the battle of Bull Run, and
although subsequently reported dead,
seems now to be recovering. We make
the following extract from letter to the
New Orleans Delta, written at Richmond
on the 10th inst:
"But the most remarkable case is that
of Major Wheat, who is rapidly recovering
from the sevIrest wound that any man Of
his condition eversurvived. A Minnie ball
struck his right arm, passed through it,
(grazing the boue), entered his breast near
the armpit, passed through his body, and
striking his left arm, broke it. No one
who saw him after the battle entertained
the slightest hope of his recovery, but
thanks to good nursing and skillful sur
gerry, aud doubtless to the presence of his
venerable mother and father, and his broth-
er, Capt. j. K. Wheat, his case took ia
yorable turn, and he is now able to ride
about in a carriage

Union Men he not Deceived by those
Who Cry Peace.

Prom the LOuiEVlllet hy.l OelnOCIAGl
Peace, withoat Union, on some fixed
terms, is only temporary respite, If it
were not utopian idea now. We notice
that the zeal for peace is rampant with
the secession sympathizers. They think
it the short cut TO the Southern Conied-
eracy. If they are sincerely for peace,
how do they think so much OF these who
brought on the war, and who now have
as their uItimatum division ofthe Union,
and who Will not listen to any terms short
of separation? They know that peace is
impossible on any terms except an ac-
acknowledgement of the Southern Conteder-
acy, and that is just what they ask for
peace-a dissolution of the Union. 1t is
nothing but a secession dodge TO catch
votes aud increase their strength in Ken
lucky. If they are for u National Con-
vention, Kentucky has done all she could
fer it. and is for it now.
Let them get JEFF. Davis. Beauregard +
Co., 70 agree to 1t, and they will d. the
country service; until they can do that,
let them rot humbug the State by the cry
ofPeace peace to be followed by disco
luton of the Union and centuries of war.
If they are for peace, short of division Of
the Union, let them show the way. We
are all for it, but Of what value is respite
to be followed by war, and with custom
houses, tariffs and Notifications frowniug
defiance at each other, all along the line,
in time of peace; standing armies on each
side augmented constantly, to be ready to
meet a rival threatening one on the other
side; military dictators, to which necessity
compels submission. All this is what the
cry of peace means. Posteritv will curse
such peace and its authors. Bad as our
condition is, we shall not escape it tenn
porarily to impose worse one on those
who are to come after us.

IT has been the glory of this Republic,
that its hand was not felt by its citizens
except in blessing. The time has come
when it must be put forth to restrict aud
to punish. The Rebellion has driven the
Government to defend itself by every
means in its power, and sympathy with
rebellion and downright treason have
compelled that restriction if not punish
meut shall be meted out even at the North.
The suppression of journals, and their ex-
clusion from the mails, by law, are not
acts that would be justified in a normal
condition of society. But we are in the
midst of war; and these are war meas
ures. II the Government has right to
exist, to defend itself against fatal blows,
1T does well in putting down treason by
the strong hand. War is upon us, and it
is "war to the knife and the knife to the
hilt." Such journals as the New York
Nsrrs, and such traitors as Mayor Berrets
of Washington, have made it so. Tue
most vigorous measures now, will bring
peace soonest, and with peace all its bless
ings. The only way to peace is through
victory. The rebellion which is the
cause of hostilities and the severe meas
ures inseparable from them, must be
crushed out, utterly and forever, before
society can return to its normal state
The severity of these measures accelerates
the day of victory and of peace.

The New State---PopularIty of the

The Cincinnati Gazenes Clnrksburg cor
respondent, who himself does not seem to
favor the policy of an immediate division
of the State, yet writes to that paper:
But the movement Is undoubtedly popu-
lar. The people do not seem to regard the
question of policy at all; they are too
much rejoiced at being suddenly freed
from the CALLING burdens of taxation and
inferiority that the Eastern section had i'm
posed, to hesitate as to the means by which
their freedom has been accomplished and
throughout this section, at least, the Con-
yention could have done nothing else that
would have so fully seconded the desires
of the large majority.
This we believe is the state of feeling
among the people in the outward counties.
They are in, heart and soul, for the move
ment, and we predict that if our army mat
tiers go on straight, it will be carried by a
sweeping vote. So may it be.
