Card of Thanks-Inquiries Answered.


WARREN, June 18th 1861.
Editors of Chronicle:-Permit me to
return thanks to the ladies of Warren, for
the many favors received by the Company
have the honor to command in the U. S.
service. Many of them have not, as yet
hcen acknowledged. Among the most
substantial favors arc the Hayelock Caps.
These caps are invaluable; they protect the
head and shoulders from the heat Of the
sun, and may save many from death by
sun stroke. They arc worn over the fa-
tigue cap and under the uniform hat
They are much priced by every soldier, and
will be taken care Of and preserved. The
ladies of Warren who raised the means
aud got them up, may rest assured that
they have, in this matter, been doing a
good thing for the soldiers, and will please
accept the warm and hearty thanks of eve
Iy member of the company. have been
particular in stating the use and benefit of
these caps, and the manner worn, because,
since my return, l have heard that some
have thought the labor and expense use
less; that they would be worn but short
time and then thrown aside This is q
mistake. If the ladies and citizens could
have been present and witnessed the feel
ing and enthusiasm created by the rccep-
tion of the Oil Cloth Blankets, and the
Hayelock Caps, it would have done them

A Great Secession AcrObat-Enrnest Rec
ommendRIiOn that Washington Should
be "Let Alone"
The Richmond (Va.) Examiner seems to be
edited by one of the most remarkable Jour-
nalistic acrobats of whom we have any
knowledge, and we think the New York
Herald should loose no time in securing his
services. He can turn as many somersaults
as any performer at Astley's, and do it with
an case that astonishes an Impractical tum-
bier. Some days ago, he was enraged be-
cause Washington had not been taken, and
urged every possible haste. Now he declares
it should be let alone, and that the best in-
terests Of The South can be secured by not
! attacking it, in this characteristic language:
II is certainly desirable to the South that
| the Northern Congress should sit in Washing
ton surrounded by half drilled, insubordn-
aie, demoralized Pretorian Guard, disaf-
fected city population, aud with inimical
troops towering in its suburbs, and ready at
the first favorable opportunity to pouuce
| down on it. Wise action under such environ
ments would be impossible, But there re-
mains much stronger reason why the South
| should desire that the Northern Government
should continue TO reside at Washington
| until all war or prospect Of war is settled.
! With all the boasted strength Of the North
it has not, SO far, been able TO put itself in
safe position at Washington, although all its
strength and troops have been cGncent -ating
there. 1t has thirty thousand troops now
there, but is threatened by more than that
number of volunteers in Virginia, and by an
indefinite number of militia, both in Mary
land and Virginia, ready to rise en- nGsse so
soon as the city is assaulted. The North can
easily increase its Washington garrison to a
hundred thousand, but the South can more
easily besiege it with u force Of q hundred
and fifty thousand.
Let us not attack Washington (unless
Maryland secede), but cramp and cripple it,
cut of its supplies, and hover round it with
our forces Of volunteers and of militia,
equally ready to pounce upon the prey. So
long as the Northern Government resides
where it now does, all its efforts, and all it;
troops, and other resources, will be needed
10 defend its own position. The South is in
no danger of invasion so long as the Capital
OF the North can be reached by her cannon

A Kentucky Journal on the Secession OF
Tennessee,

The Louisville (Ky.l journal says in an
article on the Secession Of Tennessee:
As illustrative OF the character of the
tyranny established over souls in Tennessee,
we may mention one circumstance out of the
thousands which the Tennessee papers
would not dare 10 mention. One of the
first gentlemen Of our city, substantial
man whose word none would question: was
recently in that State on business. &c re-
peated to Us, yesterday, conversation that
he held with native Tennesseean, Union
man, who deprecated Secession as deplor-
aLle blunder and terrible crime. The two
gentlemen were alone in large room, 10
other person being probably within Q half
mile of them, yet the Tennesseean lowered
lis voice almost 10 whisper as he fanCied
that the very walls had ears to hear and
tongue TO repeat. .'Lately" said be, 81

ions were known, they levied upon me, as
they did upon others, whateVerthey pleased,

dozen or even half dozen Secessionists in
any part of Tennessee can band themselves

oppressive and enormous black mail for Sc.

Tie right of the Southern Confederacy to
