The Cairo correspondent of the n. Y.
TiJune says Gen. Prentiss, in command
of the Brigade and who served in the
Mexican War under Gen. Taylor, ''is il
brick!" He cites the following conclu-
sive proof:
Mr.. James D. Pulley, member Of
the Illinois Legislature, from William
son county, was arrested at home yester
day, and brought to Cairo under mill
tary guard. He was charged with ac
lively fomenting treason; aiding in the
formation of "a company of 30 men, who
left Williamson county a week ago, to
join the Rebel army, and making a
strong speech Of encouragement to them
just before their departure.
Mr.. Pulley admitted the speech, but
denied expressing secession sentiments
in it, and in fact claimed that he was a
Union man. He evidently expected
that his case would be Immediately dis
posed Of by administering the oath Of
allegiance, and then setting him at lib
erty. But Gen. Prentiss, after hearing
him patiently, gave this verbal decision:
CIV INCutS OIl +lC III ltiio O1ANC
there is strong reason to believe that the
charges against you are true. l beg
you to understand that nothing gives me
more pleasure than the arrest Of do
mestic traitor. We have had trouble
enough with men Of that class; and it is
time for them to learn that no treason
will be tolerated in the State Of Illinois.
When the witnesses are procured, you
will be placed on examination; all rea-
sonabe facilities for defense will be af-
forded you, and if guilty, you will be
handed over to the proper authorities,
and punished as traitor to your coun-
try. In the meantime you are a pris
oner, and will be employed upon our
fortifcations. Guard, take this man to
the guard house, supply him with a
shovel and wheel barrow, and keep him
at work upon the redoubt.'' AS a man
of intelligence and postion-a leading
spirit-Mr. Pulley was evidently the
right person to max an example Of, 1t
will have healthy influence upon the
few but active traitors who still intest
Southern Illinois.

Willis OH Lincoln.

Mr. Willis writes from Washington
to last weeks Home Journal:
The President, of course, is not to be
spoken with, except upon urgent busi-
ness, in these days; but chance gave me
Il very pleasant exchange Of il few words
with him last evening. Passing across
the interior hall of the White House,
toward the drawing room, where Mrs.
Lincoln was to be at home to few
friends without ceremony, [ met the
Chief Magistrate on his way from the
tea room to his office. Evidently think
ing that | was in search Of himself, he
stopped, shook hands, and looked in
quirlngly; upon which l introduced my
self, apologized for the interruption, and
stood back to let him pass But, hav
ing thus been made to know me, he took
the occasion to obyiate embarrassment
by few apt words, and ended by most
eourteously showing me the way to Mrs.
Lincoln 5 reception room.
With my four or five years of ''court
life in Europe, had never seen that
awkward matter for IA high functlonary,
an unexpected and brlet interview with
u stranger, more admirably aud win
ningly done. 1t was characteristic. for
there was no ceremony about it; but
while it was full of tact toward me, it
was quite as full Of simple dignity for
himself. Though not courtly manner,
it was what ccurtly manner tries to i'm
itate-a mien and presence too abso-
lutely natural and direct for a Brmmel
to approve, but which would have been
exceedingly admired by Wellington
or Palmerston. 1t is impossible to
look in Mr.. Lincoln's face, and hear
him speak few words, without believ-
ing in him. He looks as honest as he
does talI-and he is taller than most
people-while, in the absorbent open
ness of his frank eyes, and the ready in
tcligence of his features and expression,
there is plenty Of promise Of capability.

SUGAR CANE.

We are gratife1 to learn that an un-
usual breadth Of sugar cane is planted
and we counsel farmers to take good
care Of this crop. We fear that great
t deal Of the sugar cane has been from in
ferior home grown seed, which we are
perfectly satisfied will not produce cane
! of more than half the full sweetness to
which it may be grown with Southern
seed. When fifty cents worth Of the
best seed will plant an acre Of land, it is
costly economy to use inferior seed; and
for the saving Of fifty cents on an acre,
lose hundred gallons of syrup. Good
seed and good soil will produce four
hundred gallons of syrup to the acre,
while deprecated seed will not average
two hundred gallons.-Ohio Farmer.
The fruit prospect is quite various in
hborhoods. The frost Of the "a Of
May fell most severely across Central
Ohio, or rather to the northward Of Cen
trail Ohio, in belt east and west, but its
effects were disastrous even to the north
ern and southern borders Of the State,
in the most exposed situations, while in
particular districts quite inland there
were considerable exemptions. There
are high locations in Ross and Morgan
counties, which almost always scape
frost so as to produce peaches; also in
Fayette towards the southeast, and
Coshocton towards the north east. On
the whole, for an inland country, Gosh
octon probably is the most sure fruit
county in Ohio, though the quality Of
its fruit is not generally SO good as
many others.
From the great fertile regions of
Southern Illinois, and adjacent portions
.of Indiana, Missouri, and Kentucky,
we have the most fattering reports Of
the fruit crop, and it is from this region
that our market must be mainly sup
piled. We have come to the deliberate
cvnclusion that portion Of southwest
ern Illinois is just as rich and fruitful
cuoptry as this continent contains

ATERK1BLE DEscK1Pr1ov.

DeBow's Reuiea0, New Orleans, is the
great commercial journal of the South.
In an editorial in late number, We have
this setting off the North:
Should New York fail to erect herself
into free port and separate republic;
should she remain under the dominion
Of the corrupt, venal wire workers of Al
bany, and of the immoral, inRdel, agra
rian, free-love democracy of Western
New York; should she put herself under
the rule Of Puritans, the vilest, most sell
fish, and unprincipled Of the human race:
should she join northern confederacy;
should she make New England, Western
New York, Northern Ohio, Northern In
diana, or Northern Illinois her masters;
should she make enemies of her south
ern friends, aud deliver herself up to the
tender mereies of her Northern enemies,
she will sink to rise no more. Better,
thousand times better, to come under
the dominion of free negroes or Gipsies,
than of Yankees, or Low Germans, or
Canadians. Gipsies and free negroes
have many amiable, noble, and generous
traits; Yankees, sour krout G ermans, and
Canadians, none. Senator Wade SAYS,
and Seward, too, that the North will alb
sorb Canada. They are half true; the
vile, sensual, animal, brutal, infdel, su-
perstitious democracy of Canada and the
Yankee States will coalesce; and Senator
johnson, of Tennessee, will join them.
But when Canada and Western New
York and New England, and the whole
beastly Puritanic, 'sour-krout, free ne
gro, infdel, superstitious, licentious,
democratic population of the North be-
come the masters of New York-whas
then? Outside Of the city, the State Of
New York is Yankee and Puritanical,
composed Of as base, unprincipled, su-
perstitious, icentious, and agrarian, and
anarchical population as any on earth.
Nay, we do not hesitate to say, it
is the vileSt population on earth
IF the city does not secede and erect a
seperate republic, this population, aided
by the ignorant, base, brutal, sensual
German infdels Of the Northwest, the
stupid democracy Of Canada-for Can
ada will in some way coalesce with the
North-and the arrogant and tyranni-
cal people of New England, will become
masters Of the destinies of New York.

Guard Against Vulgar Language.

There is as much connection between
the words and the thoughts as there is
between the thoughts and the actions.
The latter are not only the expressions
of the former, but they have a power to
react upon the soul, and leave the stain
of their corruption there. y young
man who allows himself to use one yul
gar or profane word has not on y shown
that there is foul spot on his mind,
but by the uttersnce Of that word he
extends that spot and infames it, till,
by indulgence, it will pollute and ruin
the whole soul. Be careful Of your
words, as we'll as your thoughts. If
you can control the tongue, that no I'M
proper words are pronounced by it, and
save that from corruption, you extin
guish the fire by smothering it, or pre-
venting bad thoughts bursting out into
language. Never utter q word any
where which you would be ashamed to
speak in the presence Of the most refined
female, or the most religious man. Try
this practice little while, and you will
soon have command Of yourself.

The Cloud on the Horizon.

The Mormons still arrive here from
Europe. Nearly a thousand more came
the past week, on their way to Utah.
Brigham Young, in the meantime, pro-
poses to emigrate, we observe, with his
whole Mormon settlement to Jackson
county, Missouri. We apprehend that
these 5estial creatures will give us some
trouble yet. They are becoming entirely
too numerous to be treated with con-
tempt. They are not friends to the
Union. Their religious tenets and po-
lygamous principles render them unfit
10 become good citizens. They carry
the element Of rebellion in thesr minds,
and no decent community is safe within
the sphere Of their pestiferous influence.

Gardens for Health.

On ievery side, we hear it said that
American merchants, lawyers, and me-
chaoics are annually growing feebler and
becoming shorter living, and all for
lack of cheerful exercise in the open
air. This fact becoming widely known,
has led to the establishment Of gymna-
Sums, boat-clubs, ball-clubs, &c, all
over the country. For persons who can
not get muscular exercise in any other
way, this is all very well. Bat he who
can get control of ground enough for a
garden, will be much better of, and es-
pecially, if he own the garden. This
pleasing occupation is far more health
full than wrenching gymn; sites practiced
by the clock, or the highly exciting and
overtaxing ezertions Of boat-racine, and
ball-playinS, Morning and evening
spent at home-prunins and hoeinS and
wedding and training--so employed,
how can only help being happy and
healthy? 1t would be an evil day for a
man so situated, to hire gardener to do
all his work. What harm is there in a
little sweat, little dirt, a few blitters
if thereby one keeps dyspepsia and i'll
health generally, at distance?

A NEW SONG.
by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

We sing "Our Countrys" song tonight,
With saddened voice and eye;
Her banner droops in clouded light
Beneath the wintry sky.
Wen pledge her once in golden wine
Before her stars have set;
Though dim one reddening orb may shine
We have country yet.
Twere vain to sigh Ger errors past,
The fault of sires or sons;
Our soldier heard the threatening blast
And spiked his useless guns; =
He saw the star-wreathed ensign fall,
By mad invaders torn;
But saw it from the FASHIONED wall
That laughed their rage to scorn!
What though their warlike cry is flung
Across the bowling wave,-
They smite the air with idle tongue
The gathering storm who brave.
Enough of speech the trumpet rings
Be SILENT patient, calm,-
God help them if the tempest swings
The Pine against the PaLmi
Our toilsome years have made US tame,
Our strength has slept unfe.t;
The furnace fire is slow to fame
That bids our ploughshares melt;
'Tis hard to lose the bread they win
In spite Of Natures frowns,-
To drop the iron threads we spin
That weave our web of towns;
To see the rushing turbines stand
Before the emptied fumes;
To fold the arms that flood the land
With rivers from their looms,-
But harder still for those who learn
The truth forgot SO long;
When once their slumbering passions burn.
The peaceful are the strong
The Lord have mercy on the weak,
And calm their frenzied ire,
And save our brothers ere they skriek,
ave played with Northern ire!'
The eagle hold his mountain height
The tiger pace his den!
Give all the country, each his right!
God keep us all! Amenl

Copy of a Rebel Pass.

The following is a copy of pass
signed by ST I. Beauregard, Brigadier
General commanding" and dated
Headquarters Department of Alexan-
dria, June y, 1861"
BY authority Of the Governor of Fir-
einia, j., mothers and sisters,
have permission from these headquar-
ters to leave the State Of Virginia. They
will he permitted to TIA ke with them
such moYables as cannot be of assistance
to the army. The commanders Of all
guards, pickets, videttes, or scouting
parties whom they may meet will be
careful in ascertaining that they do not
carry beyond our lines either horses,
wagons, firearms, or anything else that
may be used by the enemy.
The bearer of the above pass says
that all the young men in Virginia are
being forced into the army. The mag
nifcent crop Of grain now ripening Will
not be half taken care of. The men are
in the army and the negroes roam at
will Cattle run at large. Horses and
wagons are seized by Beauregard, and
no compensation made.

The Folly of Secession.

\ Southern paper says:-,iIt will be
miracle if the cotton planters are not
ruined By their rebellion. Every event
seems to eonspire for their destruction.
There is imminent danger of the imme-
date and violent overthrow Of slavery;
and at any rate, there is strong prob
ability that the institution will be ma
terially modified before the termination
of the war. These are the direct con-
sequences likely to flow from the re-
beIiion, and to them will be added. in
all human probability, the destruction
Of the value of slaves, BY tho destruction
of the monopoly now enjoyed in the
production Of cotton. The opinion
gains ground daily, that whatever else
may happen, slavery will be destroyed
or fatally wounded in the conflict of
arms, and from appearances it encounters
the greatest risk at the hands of its
friends

Closing Up.
The close of the week-how grateful
it comes to toiling and weary millions!
Even those who reject religion and its
institution, acknowledge the wise, if not
divine, ordination Of the Sabbath-a
day Of rest and peace wise, because 1t
answers one OF the greatest human
wants, as no other device could. As
the shadows Of evening fall on Saturday
night, the mechanic and artizan will
lay down their toll armor, and the lin
ger worn needle woman will fold up her
work-that brings, alas! too scanty pit
tance-and homeward from every busy
haunt will 90 the hosts whose hands
surround you with the comforts and
luxuries of life. And how quiet will
become the great city, rest SO full Of the
music of diverse yet miugling labor!-
The songs of the hammer and trowel
cease, and the anthems Of wheels die
away over the deserted streets, and SOL
itude comes, so welcome to every better
sense. Repose, so sweet after the
weeks toll, to be unbroken for Il day
repose which brings meditation and re-
aection, culturing the mind by review
of the experiences through which it has
passed. May they ever strengthen US
all, to renew the bustle Of life with
greater earnestness, and with higher
aims.
