Eay- The New Workers were far from
being at ease in regard to the safety of
Washington ct last accounts. The 7r-
buns of the Oath says:
Our very latest intelligence from Wash
ington, brought by Mr.. Bartlett, who left
the Federal City on Monday afternoon,
is of the most unsatisfactory character--
In spite of all rumors to the contrary.
Gen. Scott had under his command no
more than 1890 men. of whom $500 were
oity militia many Of these of doubtful
loyalty. Not soldier from the North
had yet reached Washington, except the
few hundred unarmed Pennsylvanians
who first went on, and the Massachusetts,
Regiment that fought its way through
Baltimore. Ben. Mccullough was at
Alexandria with 1000 Virginians, and
there was another body of 5000 or 1000
at Harper's Ferry. There were no Rebel
forces on Arlington Heights, as reported.
And the following is dated Philadel-
phia, 23d:
The Hon. P. B. Fouke. of Illinois, who
left Washington on Morda morning,
arrived here this afternoon. Mr.. Foulo
had an interview with the President and
the. members OF the Cabinet the evening
before he left. They were all hourly ex-
pecting an attack from the Virginia side,
but determined to hold their ground to
the last. They maifested much anxiety
to hear from tho North, all communica-
ton with which had been cut off since
Saturday afternoon. The President APP
peared to be especially exercised at the
critical condition OF the Federal Capital.

ETHMDos, understand that a
large number of the citizens OF Paris
Henry county, met Mr.. Ethridge outside
OF the town on Monday last and notified
him that he could not speak there on
that day, as he had an appointments to
do: He did not attempt to fill his APP,
pointment We SEQ it stated in the
Avalaaehe, in this connection, that diff
hculty grew out of the matter in which
q friend of Ethridge was killed, and an
other man fatally shot. We understand
from reliable sources, that the difficulty
which resulted in the serious injury Of
two men, was tho result Of private
quarrel, and had no relation to politics
or to Ethridge whatever.-W T. Wing.

To make the mea All go,
And leave so many s~eetheaTts here
without sEiogfe beau.
We like 10 see them brave, tis true,
And would not urge them stay,
But what are we poor girls to do
When they are all away
We told them we could spare them there
Before they had to go-
But bless their hearts we wern't aware
That we should miss them 50,
We miss them ali, in m any ways.
But truth will ever out,
The greatest thing we miss them for
Is seeing Gs ABOUT.
On Sunday, when we 80 to Church,
We took ia vain for some
To meet US, smiling on the porch,
Aud ask TO see US home.
And then, we can't enjoy n walk
Since all the beaux have gone,
Fer what's the good TO use plain talk
Ii We must {. udge aione'
But what's the use of talking thus,
Wen try TO be content;
And II they cannot come 10 us
A message may be sent.
And that's one comfort, any way,
For though We are apart,
There Ia no reason why We may
Not open hears 10 heart.
We trust il may soon como
To a final test;
We want to see our Southern homes
Secured in peaceful rest.
Bat If tha blood OF those we love
la freedom S cause must flow,
With feEyxnt trust 10 God above
W bad them onyeara go,
And we will watch them as they 60,
And cheer them on their way,
Our arms shall bs their resting place
when wounded sore they lay.
Oh II the sons OF Southern soil
For freeSon 5 cause must die,
Her daug II .eTs ask no dearsr boon
Than by their side to lie.
