has been conducted for that purpose,
and with that single object. When
the Government shall prove false to its
trust, and shall direct the war for pur-
poses foreign to its original design,
then, but not till then, will the De-
moeraey cry ''stop thief" When that
time comes. no voice from petty semi
secession journals will be needed to ar
rest both army and Government. The
troops themselves will ground their
arms. No power in the land will COM
pei them to prostitute the flag Of their
country for such unjusti6able purposes.
Until that time comes, and we hope it
far distant, the Democracy will render
a cheerful and patriotic support to the
flag Of their country. In the history
OF the past they have been loyal. and
they are not to be seduced at this day
into the camp of treason and rebellion.

Story OF NoRTHERN MEcHANIc-
How He ESCAPED FROM THE SoUrH.-
An intelligent mechanic called on US
this morning, and gave a statement Of
his escape from North Carolina, and Of
his observations on the route. He had
been employed in the shops of the
North Carolina Railroad, between Well
don and Charlotte, for some time, but
grew uneasy in consequence Of having
been hauled up before Vigilance COM
mittees three times on suspicion Of be-
ing Union man. He states there are
but few Union men in North Caroli-
ma, and they live with halter around
their necks. The Southerners where
he resided knew all about how the
Manassas battle would come off five
days before it really took place, and the
North Carolina Central Railroad passed
5000 Georgia. Alabama and South
Carolina troops North just before it took
place. Our informan. escaped just
while they were rejoicing most loudly
oyer the result OF TIRE Manassas affair,
and when they thought themselves in-
yincible.
Our informant states that were it not
for the Yankees, who are working at
the South, the rebels would never get
along at all. Out of forty engineers on
the N. G. G. Railroad, nearly every
man was a Yankee. Then, too, the
Yankees make all their ammunition
and do everything requiring mechanical
skill. Our informant escaped by go
ing South from North Caralina to Ste-
phensOn, Alabama, and from thence TO
Nashville. He then crossed over TO
Kentucky and reached Louisville in
safety. There is an encampment, main
" Of artillery forces, at a place called
Big Shanty, about twenty miles from
Ga. There is also another
rebel encampment Of several thousand
troops at Murfreesboro, Tenn. Seces-
sion flags were flying along his entire
route, until he reached Bowling Green,
KY, where the Stars and Stripes first
met his gaze. He was informed that
millions of dollars would be spent to
induce Kentucky to go out of the
Union, but from all he could learn, Ken
lucky would remain under the Stars
and Stripes.
Our informant was especially bitter
on the Southernized Yankees, and he
that if you could drive the
Yankees out of rebeldom, you would
have the South helpless and at your
mercy.

EOn Saturday, the workmen in

feet, encountered some timbers that still

STRONG MINDS IN WEAK BoDTEs.-
Why is it no 60 with some bright in
tellects? A strong mind in a weak
body is like a superior knife-blade in a
miserable handle. Its workmanship
may be ever So finished, its temper
ever so true, its edge ever so keen, but
for want of means to WELD il properly,
it will not cut to much purpose. Am
bilious youths who intend to carve out
fame and fortune with their sharp in
tellects, should think Of this simile, and
see to it that their bodies-the handles
whereby they are to manage that won
derful weapon. the human mind-are
kept in sound-jointed, frmly-riVeted,
perfectly cleansed condition.

MORE HEAVY ORDNANCE FOR FREE
MoNr.-Sbortly after the close of the
Mexican war, among lot of heavy
ordnance cast at the Fort Pitt works,
were sixteen nine inch navy guns, which
were never removed, the models being
subsequently, altered. These guns have
since been stored in the yard at the
works, and on the breaking out of the
war, when an inroad from the South
was considered possible, if not proba-
BILE, they were freely rendered in de-
fense OF the city, but the offer was never
considered. The activity which has
lately been infused into all branches Of
the service has created a demand for
all the ordnance which could be pro-
duced, and information having been
given the Department in regard to this
lot Of guns, an order was at once tele-
graphed to put them in servicable con-
dition, and ship them to st. Louis
Gen. Fremont will soon be in condition
to laugh at any force the freebooters OF
the Southwest can bring against him

The most contemplate aunkeyism (which We

despiso the northern man who processes TO be

iional grounds. Such men IN Vallandighan, Of

to H. Union men, are yet liz most dangerous
enemies. They arr Mortified because Lincoln
