even Wnere tnere IS no otner. de Is a grown
up sdmin, q street boy dressed in mans
clothes, and longing to forget his dignity,
and have q game of pitch-and- toss, or leap
frog. he is an srtful dodger, ~masquerading
with his tongue in his cheek, and laughing
at the company.
He has a strange, wild, rakish, good
natured face; the longer you look at him the
more you believe in his good nature, and
doubt of every thing about him. He is dirty
to a degree, and even slovenly, except at
particular times, when his dress becomes
strangely attractive and brilliant. His i'm
mense moustaches are rusty from want of
care-one turns up and the other turns
down. If you are a person in authority he
will begin TO twirl these when you talk to
him, es q ready resourc to cover his confu-
sion at being detected in some escapade. He
is always in a scrape, yet you can not be
angry with him-that is altogether impos-
sibie for his troubles are as absurd as those
of an Irishman at q fair, and his doings,
however r~eprehensible, are sure to be mixed
up with some irresistible piece of fun, which
absolutely strikes you speeches. before you
can begin to reprimand. While you are
preparing to speak To him in a voice of
thunder, he suddenly chokes you with
laughter at his keen wit, or astounding I'M
conscious impotence, or his consummate
acting of absurd eontrition.
You may internally acknowledge that
your dignity as q commanding officer can
only be preserved by biting firmly into your
cigar, and retiring, as promptly as possible,
to q place where you can conveniently give
play to your risible muscles without bring
ing discipline and the interests Of the serv-
ice into open contempt. The rogue under
stands this perfectly, and in spite of his
assumed ~bashfulness, nothing is SO reassur'
ing to his mind when he has been at any
mischief than a summons into the actual
presence Of his commanding officer; he
knows that the game is won then, for it
would be a shrewd Colonel indeed that
caught him tripping.

The Union Tmnarishahla.

Tho Louisville Journal, after enumcra-
ting many Instances of discomfort which
have occurred in tho now confederation,
says:
Tho fact is that the United States can't
be destroyed, despite all tho efforts of fan
natics. Do what they will, the Union must
survive; neither plots nor usurpations can
convert tho loyal masses into traitors, and
it will escape all harm. 1t reminds us OF
the fate of Frenchman, who, having re-
solved to be rid of life, won't, little before
high lido, to post set up by tho seq side.
had provided himself with ladder, a rope.
a pistol, a bundle of matches, and a vial Of
poison. Ascending the ladder, he tied ono
end Of tho rope to the post, and tho other
round his neck; then no took the poison,
set his clothes on fire, put tho muzzle OF
tho pistol to his head, and kicked away the
ladder. In kicking down the ladder he
stopped the pistol SO that tho ball missed
his head and cut through tho rope by which
he was suspended no foil into tho sea-
thus extinguishing tho flames OF his clothes
and tho sea water, which he involuntary
swallowed counteracted tho poison. and
thus, in spite of his precautions, he remain
cd unhanged, unshot, Imprisoned, unburn'
cd aud undrowned.

Tho Presidents Proclamation says:
Whereas, The laws Of tho United States
have been and now arc opposed in several
States by combinations too powerful to be
suppressed in any ordinary way, therefore
call forth the military Of tho several Statos
OF the Union to the aggregate number OF
75, 900 to suppress said combinations and
execute the laws. Iappeal to all loyal citi-
zens to facilitate in giving aid to this effort,
to maintain tho laws, the integrity of tho
national Union and the perpetuity of popu.
lar governments. aud to redress wrongs long
enough endured.
The first service assigned to tho forces
will probably bo tho repossession of forts,
places and property seized from tho Unou

with the object, to avoid devastation, do

The House on Wednesday refused, and

bill for "onrol,ing the militia" and also the
ono for "giving greater encouragement and

that for providing places for and taking
charge of arms placed in tho hands of vol
unteer companies, there be paid into the
treasury of such companies, from tho State
Treasury, tho sum of five dollars to each
member of such companies, to tho number
of six thousand mon in the State. This
last measure could not have passed except
for tho present condition of things in tho
country. At tho last session, in fact for
the three past sessions, very many OF the
Democrats voted for and urged tho passage
of a measure liko this, wbilo Republicans
opposed it. Now tho lattor pass il, while all
their opponents but two, vote in body

bill to furnish tho justices of the peace OF

Yesterday. This involves tho expenditure
Of quito sum of money, but it appears to

benefit to the people at largo, as almost
any appropriations which can be made.
Tho House has also passed. tho two great
Railroad bills, tho one for tho reorgani-

Texas Mexicanized,

The Secession movement in Texas,
clearly unconstitutional, even il we con-
slider that State to be as independent as il
was before annexation, and hence justly
regarded By Gov. Houston as a nullity, is
bearing the genuine fruits OF the Mexican
style Of politics which it initiates. There
are now two Stale Governments in that

regular, and the other without constitu.

been impeached nor got rid Of in any lega
manner The Revolutionists, On the
other hand. have sworn in Lieutenant
Governor Clark as Governor, and recog
nze his authority, to the utter Reputation
OF General Houston.
Thus there are two rival "Govern
menls" in full blast in Texas, at this mo
ment, after the mos: approved Mexican
method. We trust Gov. Houston vii
firmly maintain his ground, with whatevN
force he can rally and promptly call upor
the United States Government for help
to put down the rebellion against boil
him and itself. Such demand woulC
not be refused, and the three thousant
troops trai;orously disbanded by Twiggs
in that Sale, should be re. organized ,ant
kept in that quarter, where their service
are so much needed. The AIminstra
ton will commit grave error, il it allow
these troops TO be Withdrawn from Texa
at present, unless others are sent 10 sup
ply :heir places, to aid Gov. Houston il
maintaining law and order.
A golden opportunity ia thus presented
to strike blow for the Union, and /
demonstrate to the genuine Union men

appeared, and coolly kicked him in The face.
This was too much the bravo old lion had

but to be thus cruelty treated by tho mos,

The Attitude of France and England

The N. Y. Evening Post OF the 9th

to England and France by the Admins

is said that these agents have returned,
and bring the most favorable reports |; that
both England and France win set their
faces against Slave Confederacy, and in
no manner recognize or assist ii. II is
further said that the delay OF the Admin
istration to declare its policy, has been ia
part oCcasioned by desire TO learn the
result OF these missions, and now that the
position OF those European Powers is un'
derstood TO be all that could be wished
