General Price is the only modest rebel we
know of. Ever since Fremont got started
after him he has shown a retiring disposi-
tion.
ONE OF ARABELLA's.
"How different you soldiers are from u.s."
SAID Arabella to the Captains: with us a
conquest only begins, while with you it ends
the engagement"
-Adjutant Thomas report tells us that
the young men of Kentucky-the fighting
men-a1e with the Confederates. The Union
men are the aged and men of property who
are conservative, but these won't shoulder
the musket. That accounts for the dispatch
that General Sherman wants two hundred
thousand men, and must rely on the Western
States for troops with which to defend Ken
lucky.
WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
A correspondent states that a distinguished
medical man at Washington has discovered
a new kind of worm which infests the hu.
man subject, especially in the District of
Columbia. II is called the red tape-worm.
He has had uncommon opportunities for
studying its habits and character; he has
been for some time afflicted with it in his
own person. One of its most remarkable
traits is, that, instead of inhabiting the inte-
rior, it winds around the exterior of the
body and limbs, somewhat in the manner of
the boa-constTictor; affecting, however, some
times, both the head and the heart Rumor
says that the gentleman alluded to is about
to resign q very important office connected
with the War Department, so as to devote
himself entirely to the preparation of work
upon the natural history of this formidable
parasite. This work will be very extensively
illustrated, and will be issued under the
auspices OF the Sanitary Commission and the
Smithsonian Institute.
NOBLE EXAMPLE.
The Mt Sterling (KJ.) Wing says the Rev.
James p. Hendricks, the PRESBYTERIAN
preacher of Flemingsburg, volunteered last
week in one of the Fleming companies. He
has an income of $4,000, aud leaves dear
wife and five small children. The boys
wanted to make him Captain, but he declined,
and said he wanted to be a private, stand
| guard with them, and pray with and for them.
Mr.. H. is a pious Christian, a talented
| preacher, and pure patriot AS Kentuck-
| ian, he felt the singing shame of voting large
| Union msjorities, but turning out, compare
lively, few Union soldiers.
ARREST OF RECRUITING OFFICERS.
| A number of recruiting officers from other
| States than Indiana, were arrested at Terre
Haute, Ind. on Friday, on the charge of re-
cruitipg in the State contrary to law.
