SOLDIERS PAY.-The State of Illinois has
rather outwitted and outfinanciered the shar-
pers who have been hanging on the fianks of
the army of that commonwealth. The an
nouncement is made that the state authorities
will pay all warrants in the hands OF the vol
unteers IN gold and silver, upon presentation
at the Treasury Department, but no warrant in
the hands OF second parties will be paid at
present. This is no more tn right, as no
doubt such warrants were purchased at an e.
normous discount, and therefore the second
hand holders can afford TO wait for liquidation.
This is an example that should he steadily
followed by every state in the Union. We
are opposed 10 showing mercy TO those who
show no mercy to the soldiers.

TIE ENPEReR's JoKE.-The latest joke, not
to be found in Punch, but heard al the clubs,
is said to come from the other side of the
channel, though mayhap of home manufacture,
and not unworthy of Sir Robert Peel, Jr.. in
his merry mood. Here it is. The Prince
Imperial and the Emperor weIe in discussion
about educational suijests, and from pothook S
had got TO synonyms and equivalents of words,
when the juvenile imperial blood asked his
parent 10 explain 10 him the difference be-
tween the words accident and 'smisiortune .
which have certainly little closer affinity in
French than English, and seem to require a
little calculation. Alter pause for an Illus
tration, his Majesty said, 81 will tell you my
boy, the exact difference. 1t would be an
accident if your cousin, Prince Nepoleon,
were to tumble into the Seine but it would
be misfortune if any one were to help him
out again.

Who ARE THE BRAVE I'm looking at the
deeds of valor of the Northern and Southern
sschivalry,'' as thus far exhibited in this war,
the contrast is really astonishing. The vaun-
ted hot blood of the self styled sschivalry,''
''sudden and quick in quarrel,'' struck the
terrible first blows of a terrible strife, with a
fierce alacrity that seemed to shame our own
unwarlike patience and tameness, and chal-
lenged sort of admiration. But when the
strife was thus begun, and there began to be
blows to take, as well blows to give-who
was foremost then, and ever since Strange
to say, not an aggressive movement or ges-
ture, in the face OF an enemy in force-not a
solitary instance of personal heroism-not a
partical of fighting, or firing, except from be-
hind breastworks or ambuscades-has redeem
ed this every-way- base rebellion from utter
dishonor! Strange to say, all the chvarous
daring, the generous self exposure. the tragical
fall OF the young ana brave, that have made
up the terrible poetry of the war, have been
on the part of the scorned and fouted .scoun-
ter jumpers smudsiils'' and s.greasy me-
chanics" of the North Well-it is no new
thing under the sun, for the unconscious hero
ism of humble and peaceable industry to put
to shame the braggart blood of 'saristocracy." :"

The CHARLESTON MERCURY ON THE PRIyA-
rEER SAvAsNAH.-The Mercurg makes these
remarks on the capture OF the privateer Saran-
nah: Almost every day now brings US news of
Importance. Yesterday brought us the INTEL
ligence OF the capture of the privateer Saran-
nah, from this port. The loss of the schooner
in times like these would scarcely call for
moments consideration. But the circum-
stances are such to render the fact one of
grave mport-perchance the results may be
still graVer. With the insane and bood-t hirsty
spirit ruling the Government of the North,
there are probabilities that the crew Of the
Sauannah will be executed. The United
States Government have said 1.-THE popular
Clamor has approved the bloody declaration.
W ill their bloated vanity and malice give way
10 the milder voice OF national law-of reason
and discretion Will they not go on in their
| mad pathway of violence and lawlessness 2
Their course up to this time has been uniform.
Will they at this day pay regard to reason,
justice, or law If they do not, what then 2
Aye what then? Let one of these men per-
lSh, and We look to the authorities at Rich
moad for immediate and bloody retribution.
| We look to them, and we shall expect them to
settle strict account of blood for blood. If
the hair OF the head of single man of this
| crew is injured, South Carolina will demand
| that the outrage be atoned ior-an eye for an
| eye-a tooth for tooth--a life for life.
Aye and she nrilt hare it--no more and no less
| on the battlefield, and after the battle. Let
| one of these, herlcitizens commssionediin her
cause, perish as pirate, and woe to the enc
my who falls into our hands. Humanity and
justice, no less than the itself, will COM
pei to prompt and ample retribution ; and the
sooner this is understood, the better for all
| parties to the war. Civilized warfare will be
met in kind savage warfare will compel saw
| age warfare. The North can make it either.
Let them now decide.

MUTINY IN A PITTsBURG CoMPANY.-A few
days ago the camp at Melville five miles this
side of Baltiaiore, on the Northern Central
railroad, where the ssFiremen's LEGION of
PittSb0rg, attached to the twelfth Pennsyva-
MIA regiment is stationed, tor the protection
OF the road, was thrown into no little excite
ment by four of the priyates attempting to
murder one of the picket guards. 1t appears
the captain gave the four men leave of ab-
sence for several hours, and they repaired to g
place near the camp where they obtained
liquor, and became intoxicated. On their re-
turn they assaulted the guard, took his mus
ket from him. and attempted to bayonet him
whereupon the guard ran to the captain s
quarters and informed him of the fact. The
captain immediatly detailed five men to pur-
sue them, and bring them to his quarters dead
or living. As soon as the detachment came
in sight of the disorderlv soldiers they were
rallied upon, and the sergeant, upon hearing
the shouts of skill them kill them 20 ordered
his detachment to fire, which resulted in one
of the mutineers being shot dead on the spot,
three balls entering his breast and one taking
effect in his forehead !; another was shot through
his left hand, and the remaining two taken
prisoners. The wounded man is confined in
the hospital at Melville, and the two prisoners
were taken to Fort McHenry to await trial.
The fellow who was shot has long been IA
miliarly known in Pittsburg as '.Loater,' and
when under the influence of liquor was more
demon than man. The two prisoners, il con
vIcted, will be shot Immediately.

MURDER IN TAYLOR CoUNTY.-The Lebanon
Central Kentuchian says Mr.. Joseph Schooler,
OF Taylor county, was poisoned last week.
From the best information We can obtain, the
details are as follows There lived with Mr..
Schooler man named Anthony Sidney, whom
Schooler suspected Of being too intimate with
his wife. Having become satisfied of their
criminal intercourse, separation took place
which continued for few days, when they
seemingly became reconcled to each other.
In the meantime, however, Sidney made a
journey to Columbia and procured strychnine,
and 1t is supposed he furnished Mrs. Schooler
with it. Be this as it may, Mr.. Schooler hav-
ing come into the house fatigued from labor,
asked his wife to make him glass OF toddy,
which she willingly did, and handed it to him.
He drank and expired in few moments.
Physicians we're called in, and upon consul
tation determined to open the corpse and ex-
anime the stomach. The stomach has been
sent to Louisville 70: the purpose of having the
contents analysed. Sidney and Mrs. Schooler
are under arrest.

REBFLLIoUs SAvAGEs.-The New Orleans
Crescent says that the Chckasaws held coun-
Gil on the oath of May and formally dissolved
their connection with the United States gov
ernment, and issued manifesto to the Choc-
taws, Greeks, Cherokees, and Seminoles, and
to the Reserve Indians, advising them to So
cede from the old Union, and to petition the
Southern Confederacy to be received as dis
tinct organised territory, instead of an Indian
territory. The friendly Indians are all in ia
vor of it. They had ordered off all the mis-.
sionaries in the country. The Indians also
took up two abolitionists from Northern Texas,
one OF whom was preacher, and hung them
The forts were all to be garrisoned in twenty
days, in accordance with a treaty made with
the Reserve indians

TtlE RAE TsMAN's JOURNAL,

THE UNION IN NAsHvILLE.-The following
extracts are from letter from an intelligent
resident of Nashville, dated June 4 !: ssI never
prided myself on having more courage than
other men, but you can scarcely form an idea
of what degree of courage is necessary at this
time for man to stand firm to his duty in
Nashville, at almost any other place in
Tennessee. The election in this State will be
a mere mockery. The masses have been IN
timidated. i was one of the Central Commit
tee, last year, for the then SO called Union
party, and / really believed it to be Union
party. John Bell, and those who surround
him, have been carried over simply by the
fury of the Secessionists. The same is true
OF the Press. One man, Parson BrowDlow,
holds out but he is hourly in danger of los
ing his life. Moral courage, however, has
been more lacking than physical courage or
ambition. They could not bear to brook the
frowns of the frothy traitors who howed a.
round our streets. The ladies', too, am sor-
ry to have it to say. have been impressed into
the serr ice.'' i. i. ga few imprudent
Northern journals have uttered insudicious
things, and these ultra paragraphs have been
quoted and added to by prostituted press in
the hands of the secession mob, withsmany
atrociOus paragraphs forged for the occasion,
to influence and poison the public mind, and
eXaSperate the people to madness and fury
against persons who live in Free State, and
all in the Slave States who will dare to speak
in favor of the Union the enforcement Of
the laws. Every possible effort has been made
to shut out the light from the people. Such
papers in the State have dared to speak the
truth have been suppressed. We are stripped,
and at the mercy of our toe. | have been try
! ing 10 do what could to avert such calam-
ity, and to bring back peace; but l am here
generally regarded as public enemy. My
letters are intercepted and searched at the
Post Office. A lot of circulars which mailed
to nay old committee correspondents, have
been seized, and are detained by authority of
self. constituted inquisiton, called 'The
