Neutrality-suspicious. say the cutlery
against Gov. Curtin, Of Pennsylvania, is
terrific. The Pennsylvania troops are
ready to murder him. 1t is a positive
fact that in a certain regiment conspi-
racy against the life Of Gov. Curtin was
discovered some days since. The men in
two Of the Pennsylvania regiments have
been very near a mutiny. Said onei OF
them, "Why, sir, the very niggers on the
streets laugh and jeer at us, because we
are such set af rag-amuilins, and yet
Gov. Curtin passes for an honest man.
Who dye think made the money out of
the contract to equip our regiment? Sew
enteen dollars a man was paid and 1t did
not cost four dollars man. l would not
like to say who made fortune out of our
Indebtedness, for If l did, / might strike
at a Governor or somebody as high as he

Pennsylvania Regiment states that one
Of his men got furlough to attend the
funeral of sister few days ago, and
when he got home, .his father tore off hi'
ragged uniform from his back, and set &c
work to get up one out Of strong materi

MORMON DIsLoYALTY.-The Deseret
News reports mutinous speech Of Hebel
G. Kimball, recently delivered at Salt
Lake City. Kimball said:
"Wo shall not stop on the way OF
progress, but we shall make preparations
for future events. The South will secede
from the North, and the North will
seccde from us, and God will make this
people free as fast as we are able to bear
it. They send their poor miserable crea-
lures here to rule us. Why it would be
upon the same principle that this church
and authority should send some poor
curse to rule Inc and my family in my
own house. We need good men that
are capable Of ruling us, and we have
them in our midst Take any man there
is here, and | would rather have him
come and rule me and this poor people
than have any Que of those poor crea
lures that come here. What do they
know? Nothing only to come here, and
undertake to lead this people astray and
pollute them; they would pollute every
one if they had the power, or every one
that would yield to them. We have to
submit to this and to bear it with pa.
thence. But let me tell you; the yoke
is now off your neck and it is on theirs
and the bow key is in.
"The day is not far distant when you
will be as free as the air we breathe, and
will be ruled by those men whom God
Almighty appoints. l live above the
law, and am above them, and mean &c
keep SO by doing right, as the Lord re-
quires through those who dictate and
lead u.s."

An article in the London Times of the
ID, on jeff. Davis message, says "Mr.
Davis, while making studious display
of moderation, and cndevoring to concil-
late the good will Of the European ma
tons, is perfectly aware that his thccrios
depend, for acceptance, on the rifles of
his fellow.citzens. The tribunal which
decides questions Of international law is
usually stern one. If the North pre-.
walls, it will prove that tho Union was
nationality, If the South makes good
its independence, 1t will prove that the
Union was q partnership during pleasure.
This is what is to be decided, and we
must wait the event" The Times thinks
that great movements will be postponed
till fall.

CoNrRABAND OF WAR.-The demand
upon Gen. Butler to surrender runaway
slaves escaped to Fortress Monroe, under
tho Fugitive Slave Law, was certainly
cool on the part Of the belligerents. The
proposition of the General, that the
claimants should first swear they were
citizens Of the United States, was a
wholesome proviso. His suggestion that
negroes, as property, might be consider
ed as contraband of war, was sensible
exposition Of the Code Of War. What
ever can help the enemy is thus contra.
band, not only ammunition and proven
der, but horses, timber for ship building
or for bridge building. 1t is decision
in conformity with the theory and prac.
tice of international law; and every court
in Europe would affim it.-Aibany 1ryw

thickly clad with grasses, edible and nu-

IMPORTANT III TRUE.-In the Trial

IMPORTANT III TRUE.--In the Lisl
Gardner's Magazine it is stated not only
that decoction Of the leaves of the oamo
mile will destroy insects, but that moth
ing contributes so much to the health Of
a garden as number of the plants dis
persed through it. No greenhouse OF
dollhouse should be without it in a green
or dried state either the stalks or flow
ers will answer. It's singular fact that
if plant is dropping, and apparently
dying, in nine cases out of ten it will re.
cover if you place a plant Of camomilc
