Work FOR THE ssPEACE 1.-The le-
gitimate field for the labors of the ssPeace
party' is among the Indians on our frontier.
If the rebels are anxious for peace, why are
they enlisting the aid of those savage tribes
to practise their barbarities upon citizens of
the United States ? Intelligence that can be
relied upon reaches US that John Ross, Chief
of the Cherokee Indians, has announced in
New Orleans that at mass meeting on the
2lst utimo, his people authorized their au-
thorities to form an alliance with the Confed-
crate Government, and that mounted regi-
ment under Col. Drew will be raised for the
Confederate service. 1t is also stated that the
Camanches ,Chickasaws, ,Seminoles ,andCreeks,
have actually crossed the Arkansas river, en-
route for Ben McCullochs camp, to help him
carry on the war against the Union.

STRENGTH OF KIND WoRp.-Some people
are very apt to use harsh, angry words, per-
haps because they think they will be obeyed
more promptly. They talk loud, swear and
storm, though alter all they are only laughed
at their orders are forgot, and their i'll tenn
per is remembered. How strong is kind
word 1t will do what the harsh word or even
blow cannot do; it will subdue the stubborn
will, relax the frown, and work wonders.
Even the dog, the cat, or the horse, though
they do not know what you say, can tell when
you speak a kind word to them. man was
one day driving cart along the street. The
horse was drawing heavy load, and did not
turn the man wished him. The man was in
i'll temper, and beat the horse the horse reared
and plunged but he either did not or would
not go in the right way. Another man who
was with the crit, went up to the horse, and
patted him on the neck, and called him kind
ly by his name. The horse turned his head
and fixed his large eyes on the man as though
he would say, 'sI will do anything for you
because you are kind to me; )" and bending
his broad chest against the load, turned the
cart down the narrow lane, and trotted on
briskly as though the load were plaything.

THE KILLED AND WoUNDED.-A gentleman
in Lansing, Michigan, who has kept as accu-
rate account as possible, estimates that, of
hirty-three battles and more important skir-
mishes since the war began, the Union men
have been victorious in tDenty-tlro, the rebels
in fire, while in the remaining sic, neither
party claim victory. The number of
prisoners taken by the Unionists, is about 3,
200 and by the rebels not quite half as many.
OF the killed, it is impossible to obtain any
thing like accurate knowledge of the losses
of the rebels. The Union loss is something
over one thousand and the rebel loss is believ-
ed to be more than twice that number.

Walnut street above Eighth. The perform

girls were in the green room, the dress of one
of them caught fire, and the flames soon COM
municated to the dresses of the rest. Fifteen
were more or less injured, some fatally. The
greatest alarm prevailed, but the flames did
not communicate to the body of the theatre,
and the audience dispersed quietly. Among
the ladies burnt were Zelia and Hannah Ga le,
and Miss Forbes. Six had died up to mid
night on Sunday, and four others were rapidly

I LOVE TO COURT.

I love to court in winter
:. The many girls l know,
When all outside is dreary
And covered up with snow
I love to court in winter.
Because the old folks dread
The cold and stormy weather,
And hurryoff to bed.
I love to court in spring time,
When all is bright and gay,
When Nature smiles so sweetly,
To chase the cold away
love to court in spring time,
Because the girls, you know,
They look so awful pretty
In dresses cut so low.
/ love to court in summer
When all things are in bloom,
And yet 1 think that counting
Wi;l ever be my doom
For i have asked just twenty.one
OF all the girls know,
To have me for their loving one.
And they have snswered-No.

Legislature on the 18th. Gov. Magoffin had
vetoed them, but both Houses passed them af-
forwards by the Constitutional vote.
Resolved, That Kentucky's peace and neu-

has been invaded, the rights of her citizens
have been grossly infringed by the so-caled
Southern Confederate forces. This has been
done without cause therefore be it
Resolved, BY the General Assembly Of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky, That the Gov
ernor be requested to call out the military
force of the State to eXpel and drive out the
invaders.

against invasion which is granted to each one
of the States by the fourth section of the
fourth article Of the Constitution of the Unit
Ell States.
Resolved, That General Robert Anderson

dately upon the active discharge of his duties
in this military district.
Resolved, That we appeal to the people of
Kentucky by the ties of patriotism and honor,
by the ties of common interest and common
defence, by the remembrances of the past and
by the hopes of future national existence, to
assist in repellng and driving out the wanton
violators of our peace and neutrality, the law

HOW m1sFoRruNEs PROVE BENEFITS.

The ex-Bell and Everett men of the North
are, we presume, by this time, heartily ashamed
OF their former CHIEF idol. Their candidates
were put upon the platform of the ssConstitu-
| tion and the Union" without any declaration
of principles, and the people of the United
States were asked to take them upon trust,
under the suggestion that s'John Bell is the
right sort of man John Bell would not do
anything wrong John Bell can be trusted"
This confidence game did not please the peo-
pie, and the candidate who was without prinei
piles ssto speak Off was ingloriously defeated.
Subsequent events show that the defeat Of
Bell was national blessing. If lie had been
elected, he would either have been superser-
viceable tool of the Southern consplrators
against their country, or he would have been
a weaker imbecile than Buchanan. Bell had
not pluck enough to stand up in Tennessee for
the Union, in behalf of which he was so lately
a candidate. He is now disunion man un-
disguisedly. a traitor even more infamous than
Breckinridge, whose party threatened rebel
lion ever since the Charleston Convention.
As time advances it becomes more and more
evident that the election of Lincoln was provi-
Dental. Breckenridge and Bell would have
betrayed the republic if they had been placed
in power. Douglas had the seeds of death
within his body before the last canvass was over.
The Vice President upon the same ticket,
Herschel V. Johnson, of Georgia, is now
Secession leader. and would probably have
been false to the Union if he had become the
acting President of the United States. In
Lincoln and Hamlin alone, it must now be evil
dent, could the country have hoped for those
measures of vigor and prompitude necessary
to put down rebellion and restore the power
of the Government over every part of the re-
public. This is already made plain by the
''logic of events" AS time progresses there
will be further confirmation of this fact. We
can at least expect that those officers will be
faithful to the country. The very ssback re-
publicanism" which has been charged against
them, is the best guaranty that they will never
surrender to the traitors who are aiming at the
overthrow of free institutions, and the estab-
lishment of aristocratic, oligarchical des-
potism. The hand of Providence is apparent
in the events of the struggle, and great conse
quences are yet to result from the inexorable
DEGREES OF great Superintending Power.

ANECDoTE OF VALLANDIGHAM.-Previ to
the attack on Sumter, the notorious dirt eater
of Ohio made boast that the first regiment
that left Ohio to fight the South, would have
to march over his dead body. 1t so happened
that the Ohio regiment went from his district,
and past his house. When close upon it the
regiment halted and the Colonel said ssYou
are now to pass the dead body of Vallandig-
ham let every man hold on to his-nose, J"
which they did till all had passed.
