I APRoPos to female rebels, and how to man
age them, the Louisville Journal says: :" If
a woman, carrying under her dress deadly
weapons to be used by rebels against our
people, bushes at being examined in pri-
vate room by another woman, let her blush.
Better that her blood should mount to her
faca than that the blood of our countrymen
should be shed through her crime. Smuggling
pistols under female hoops is not legitimate
mode of hopping barrels.

Firmness of the Cherokee Chief,
John Ross.

John Ross. the Cherokee chieftain, con-
tlnues firmly TO resist all attempts made by
the rebels TO swerve him from the consistent
position OF neutrality assumed by him at the
outbreak of the present unhappy contest
Albert Pike, the Indian agent of the pre-
tended Southern Confederacy, has written a
letter to the old chief, full Of the blandish-
ments Of flattery, ingeniously intended to
court the old man into an abandonment of
bis policy. Having essayed to bring about
conversion by the gentle tones ofpersuasion
without effecting his object, the Little Rock
poet, dcspairing of success, then tries what
virtue there is in mild kind of a threat
it appears that generous proposition had
been made to Ross by the Confederates, in
relation to the Indian lands lying on the bor-
der. In alusion to this proposition, Pike
intmatcs to Ross that, whereas. the latter
having rejected the terms offered by him
of an alliance offensive and defensive, the
proposition that the Confederate States will
ever feel bound to pay the Cherokee people
the purchase money of the SO,000 acres OF
land lying between Kansas and Missouri, is
now withdrawn forever"
The old Cherokee does not seem to swal.
low the bait thrown out to him by the fshy
Pike. He possesses too much sagacity tc
allow of his being duped by such seductive
promises. list. Louis Democrat

ma The Union meeting Mt Flushing on

n@-The Union meeting Mt Flushing on
Saturday last was great success. In mum
bers present it was ahead of any meeting
held in the county this year, and for enthusi-
asm it was all that could be desired The
fair daughters of Flushing were there in
large numbers, to give encouragement to
the Union men of the county, anil every
thing passed off in good order, with the ex-
ception of some fireing by some Of the
members of Flushing home guard com
pany, who, we were informed, We're there
,oith their guns aNloaded, because, as their
leader said, they had been callod secessionists
too often to go to such places unarmed.-
These are the disciples of Heaton, who has
been laboring for months past in this county
to get up an armed mob for his protection,
and to overawe the Union element in this
county; and all they want is the number, in
order to carry out their purposes here as
their Southern brethren have in South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and the other
Seeded States. -''l "|i.
The meeting was eloquently addressed by
W. 8. Kennon, Capt. Tallman, Judge
! Cowen, and D. Trueman, and, from the in
dications of the day Flushing Township
although she will send large number o
her Union men into the army-will be goot
in the coming contest for at least one hun
''dred majority for Tod and victory and tht

Brief and Brave Speech of General

The telegraph announces that Gen. Nc
Clellan, in his report Of the LevinsviIle skir
niish, says that there will be no more Bul
Runs. On the occasion Of the visit Of the
President, Secretary Of War, and Gov. Cur
tin Of Pennsylvania to the encampments on
Tuesday, the following scene ensued, and
the following neat little speech was made by
Gen. Mcclellan, report Of which we find
in the correspondence bfthe n. Y. Herald
The troops we're allowed to crafty their
desire to shake hands with General McClel.
Ian, and the General, desiring TO become ae-
quainted with his men, and to have them
know him, gratficd them, and the livelie,t
Of scenes were eni.cted. The President,
Cabinet, Governors, and even the ladies.
were lost sight OF. Gen Mcclellan never
took an officer by the hand at the expense
ola private. He talked little, bowed to each
man, and looked him straight in the eyes.
Each man had something cheering to say to
the General. One man said, General, we
are anxious to wipe out Bull Run hope you
will allow US to do it soonP' Very soon
il the enemy does not run, was the prompt
response.
At last Capt. Barker, of the Chicago
cavalry corpse, composing the escort. ap.
pealed TO the troops not to crowd the Gener.
al too hard, or shake his hand TO much, as
before he slept he had long way to travel,
and much writing to do with the hand they
were shaking. He promised if they would
fall back that the General would say a few
words to them. They instantly complied,
when the General removing his hat, spoke
as follows: .t- a...

Regilnental Bands.
Says the Chicago Tribune

Duys tHU OTIcaSO IrIDune:
n mistaken idea prevails among musi
clans that their pay is that ofa private, ant
this error has undoubtedly kept many gooC
musicians from the service. The regimen
tai bands generally consist of twcnty-foul
pieces. One fourth of the whole number
receive the pay of a sergeant of engineers
thirty-four dollars per month seconC
fourth, the pay of corporal of engineers
twenty dollars per month and the remain
ing half the pay Of engineer soldiers, seven
teen dollars per month, besides rations, cloth
ing and bounty at the end ofthe war for eacl
rank. These certainly are inducement
which should rapidly gil up the ranks of th'
regimental bands. ..

BEA.A MEAN BUSINESS. I'VE understand
the Democratic candidate for Prosecuting At
torney is seeking to impress the minds of the
people with the idea that, as Mr.. Carroll,
the Union candidate, has again gone into the
army, he does not desire to be elected Pros
ecuting Attorney We have no objection to
d, Mr.. Work using all honorable means to ac-
complish his election but when he descends
to such miserable lies as the above, we would
caution him, for fear he might get his fin
gers burnt. eILl Ur.7-
We desire to say, once for all: Mr.. Car
roll has gone into the army because he be
lieyed it his duty to do so. If the volun
teers should not be disbanded during hi'
term of Office, the duties of the Prosecuting
Attorney will be attended to agreat deal6et
z ter than Mr, Work could attend to them, ani
Z Mr.. CAROLS family will get the benefit o.
the salary. And of one thing the public
may rest assured: Mr.. Carroll will not leave
the flag of his country, at the time of it
greatest peril, to indulge in scramble fol
the petty Office of Prosecuting Attorney.
If Mr.. Work would get the support o.
any honest man, we would advise him tc
change his mode ofelectioneering. We had
designed saying nothing about Mr.. Work il
this campaign, but when he and his friends
/. descend to such means to secure his election
! over his brave and honorable opponent, We
