CHAR RICTEP.

A good character is a talsman which can never be wrested from us, and if 1t is lost, we alone are blameable. We may not be pos sossed of wealth, and poverty may threaten us; still, if we preserve our character intact, We have a source of consolation within us which cannot be deserted. We may have enemies; they may endeayor to crush us by detaming us, and may for a time seem to sue ceed; yet, if our good character is net fctl- tious, We can desPise their attempts and come out of the ordeal better for the efforts that have been made to ruin it.
 There have been persons who have borne superior character for long time, and which, by some unforeseen accident has proved to be all sham; and there are, doubtless, Q great many now living whose example is thought to be worth following, but whose reputation for uprighness, if they were as well known as they should be, would be soon damaged. But is difficult matter for them always to show the bright side, and suddenly, before they are aware that they have exposed themselves. the truth. is disclosed, and they are compelled to throw aside the mask which they have so long worn. The possessor of character which is truly good and not fcti- tious, weI always respect himself, and will also be respected by others; he will always find friends who will help him when necessary, and give him encouragement when he most needs it. But who is it that will respect or trust one who is discovered to have bad character? If he promises to reform, henay be encouraged to fulfill his promises but he is not fully trusted--a suspicious eye IS always on him, and 1t Is only after long time, when he is found to have really amended his life that he is received into favor. From the hardship that is to be undergone in re-estab- fishing his character from bad to good, 1t should teach all to beware how they do any thing which would injuro their good name. The world, it would seem, is possessed of q marvellous sagacity in discovering our fail ings, and is slow to forgive them; conse- quentIy, it is mark of wisdom to not allow our fellow creatures to say anything that Is derogatory to us, and the surest way to pre- vent them is to establish, on 8 firm basis: good character.

They must have bra4on throats, lungs of tripple steel, and stomachs like ostriches to stand that charge. It is as likely to provo as fatal as the fire of Russians at BalalZlaya on the English"

A letter is published in the st. Louis Nsacs
of the 7th inst, written on the .st by Hon.
w. L. Underwood, Of KY, to a friend in st.
Louis. We make an extract, giving an idea
of the policy Of the Administration:
The policy of the Administration to all
the Border States, which have not seeded,
il the same In reference to Kentucky Mr..
Lincoln told me he hoped Kentucky would
stand by the Government in the present diff
cuities, but il she would not do that, let her
stand still and take no hostile part against it.
and that no hostile step should tread her soil
This Is true with Missouri
Let me tell you. further, that the tempo
rizing policy of the Administration in refer
ence to the assaults and capturing of its forts,
arsenals and property, is over. Henceiorth,
they who make war will have war made on
them. The monopoly which the South has
enjoyed in that direction has ended, and all
the powers of the Government. hencefortb,
will be exerted to maintain the property and
the legal authority of the Government with
in its just limits. You ueed not, therefore,
be surprised to hear of the vigorous block
ade of the Chesapeake and Hampton Roads,
and OF the ports of Seeded States, and that
if these States erect batteries at Memphis
and Vicksburg, to interrupt the commerce
of the Mississippi, that measures of stern re
taliation or resistance will be inaugurated
by the Government to force the poisoned
chalice TO the lips of those who first drugged

Sad ana TragteaI Anair.

On Tuesday last there was street rem
counter between Capt. Geo. w. Morgan, in
command of one Of the volunteer companies
nov stationed here, and Charles Douglas, of
this city. Several shots were fired, one or
two of which struck Douglas but did no Sc
rious damage. One of the shots, however,
took effect upon Mr.. Ball, a worthy citizen
of the county. who was standing in the Drug
Store of DIR. John Jackson. At the time of
this writing, we understand Mr.. Ball il dying
from the effect of the wound.
Soon after this sad occurrence, Douglas
appeared on the street, armed with gun,
and threatened to shoot Capt. Morgan, il he
came in sight of him. These threats were
repeated yesterday morning, and naturally
produced great excitement. Capt. Morgan
and his friends hearing of them and that his
life was in danger, determined to have the
matter settled Accordingly they came into
the city and appealed to the civil authori-
ties to take the matter in hand. They were
given one half hour to arrest Douglas and
prevent him from attempting to carry his
threat into execution. They were assured if
they would not interpose, the friends of Nor
gan would not have his life jeopardized but
would take the matter in their own hands
While this subject was under discussion, a
shot was fred at Douglas, who was standing
at bis window, and took effect in his left
shoulder. The wound is dangerous, if not
fatal ONE noruiis Register, 9h.

MIR. LIncoIn,. Kentucky troops.

The public has been informed that two
regiments have been raised in Kentucky and
rendered to Mr.. LINCOLN for service in his
war of subjugation against the South. We
learn from the Louisville Courier of yester-
day that Mr.. TERRELL who commands one of
these so-called regiments is an ex-abolition
editor from Lafayette, Indiana; and that Mr..
GUTHRIE, the Colonel of the other regiment,
was at one time, for few weeks only, res
ident of Newport, in the State of Kentucky,
and while there distinguished himself as
noisy secessionist. Neither has any right to
assume to be Kentuckian. As to the mate
rial out of which these regiments are COM
posed, we may take as authentic the follow
ing from a speech delivered in the Indiana
the House of Representatives on last Wednes-
day. Mr.. ALLEN said:
"Individuals in Kentucky, on their own
responsibility, bad raised those troops. In
the two regiments rendered to the General
Government, nineteen out of every twenty
were citizens of Cincinnati. A responsible
gentleman, Mr.. Richard Corwine, of Cincin-
natl, has so informed him, stating the facts
upon his own personal knowledge and after
reviewing the troops informally"

says that the steamer Z. II. Fairchild was

Monday, for New Orleans and intelligence
was received from New Albany that they
would not permit her to pass, when she dis
charged her cargo and laid up. At New Al
