G95~ Gunshot wounds are not painful immediately, but become so by innamma- tion. Their treatment is first to avoid a collapse, and this is to be done by encout- aging language, and if necessary little stimulant, administered with care, as it may increase the inflammation. The next thing is to stop the bleeding, by the appH- cation of pressure; the next, to find out if any bone Is broken and, Ii so to steady 1t and place 1t in natural and comfortable position. After this, cold water dressing may be applied, though many surgeons are in favor of q warm water Concentration, but we think their practice untenible, for cold water removes inflammation by evapora-
 ton, and warm water may impart heat,
 instead of removing it. In the case of q slight injury, cold water dressings and rest of the musccls will complete the cure. For desperate wounds, the subsequent treatment
 requires the skill ofa Larrcy or Abcrnethy.

Nor ton for one half Of his crop. The agent informed us that Capt. Morton offered to subscribe his whoe C crop, but it vas declined, because the government did not wish the whole crop of any individual, but desired 10 divide out the amount needed among all
 Capt. Morton is one Of the very largest cotton growers in the State, and his subscription shows him to be also one of the most lib raj and patriotic We trust that the rains of heaven may be supplied to him generously and cause his fields always to teem with plenty

F| . Y . MiSsonri and the NOrtl- " est.

Missouri is the barrier between the free States and the vast unoccupied territory between the great western slave holding States and tine Rocky Noun tlins. Lincon's government gives no undue pro- mnnence and importance 10 it's military power and geographical position, when he plants his dospo- tsm there Missouri has in her confines men who from boyhood up, have been on horseback, stanty in the saddle, nurcd to danger, and in habit of using their weapons either on foot on horse She can bring into the field twenty thousand of the best cavalry on earth
 The great objection made by the elder Napoleon to the erection of Poland into an independent Kingdom, was that that umfortunate land had no place for deicncc--it was one dead level. So it is with the insolent State of Chicago, commonly called Illinois. Let the Missouri cavalry be or &anAed and loosed upon these miscreants in the North who have industriously procured this war, and at every step in their grand march, our Mau- meukes can picket their horses on boundless prai- ries. This visitation might be advisable about the time their corn crop is maturing. Iowa has been sinSuIarly silent in this 4eat conflict She has within her bosom thousands wln have traced their migratory path from the South, and in connection with that seems to have proper regard fer her com mcrcial interests, lying as slc does between the Mississippi and the Missouri. As to the notorious incolner kansas, she is utterly insignificant. Sue is pauper and a stripling. She can "'hurt1 no body" Jim Lane could get every man in his bliiiwjck to enlist for mere grub, but they would fight for any body else for a ration better.
 We believe therefore that Missouri will be true to her interests. She is now fet,ered by the pre- sence of Rmercinary soldiery, and will have to fight within and without; but she will come from that fight as Ncy came from Moscow, sthe Lrayest of the brave" She will interpose her broad shield between the great inccndiary hiye,' and the unoccupied wastes that were the immedi- ate cause Of this trouble. We shall then have a country for the Arkansas cotton regon--a country whence shall receive athletic negroes to hoe the cotton and the cane, in the great southwestern em- pre west of inc father of waters.

Virginias Transfer of Men and Arms to

We publish below the proclamation of Gov
 r.o,eber of Virginia, transferring the ops arms
 ,r5 munitions of war of that State anH he esnon-
 .;,,;,;t, for ifs defence, to the Confedc-te govern
 nort. With the exception of Arkansas, all the l .opthern states have pursued sila.-lr 'f,y. In i the ease of Louisiana, not only the arms, hnt even the money belonging to ,-e @tate, and which had been seized with the mint and custom house, amounting in the aggragate to over mil lion of dollars, was also transferred to the govern ment of the Confederate States Wedo not know what will be the policy of Arkansas; but the peo- ple will expect a similar course to be pursued It woold be singular indeed, if at a time when all the southern States are concentrating ali their means and all their reasources Under a common head, for the purpose of common defence. if Arkansas should present an exception and should alone de- cline to act in concert with the general govern ment. The ordinances of the convention evident ly contemplate that the direction of our public de fence and the burden and responsibilities resulting from il should rest upon the government of the Confederate States, and that our State authorities should place the State n an attitude to aid and assist the common purpose and common plans That was so evidently the intention ofthc conyen- tion and is so clearly sanctioned by sound policy, that we do not allow ouIself to entertain doubt but that it willbe the course pursued by the State authorities:
