WHIPPING THE WRONG CHILDREN Yesterday
afternoon a man named Josiah Langley was seen
to strike a small boy, and then start and chase
him through the Center Market. One Of our cit
liens and gentleman from Missouri interfered to
prevent harm to the boy, when Langley became
veryabusve. An officer was sent for, and Lang
lev was taken before Justice Dom. He at first
declared that the boy was his son and that he had
right to strike him; but II appeared that the lad
was stranger to him; that his child was playing
own son home, and then turned upon the others
and beat them. Justice Dom advised him to be
careful In correcting his children that be did not

CAIRO, Ill.,, June 7, 1861.
"What will he do with it Z" is the great question
about the rebel leader and his army. JEFF. Davis has

ence. Like that other military hero, Jo Bagsock he
is sly, Sir, diabocay sly. But The Memphis Ava-

The Secession masses have great confidence in JEFF.

mortlize and dshearten them. But the more thought
full among them begin to see his fatal blunder Fot
Sumter was taken soon, the next blow has been
postponed too long. There were several days when
two thousand resolute wel-dscipned men might have
taken Washington. OF course would soon have been
wrested from their grasp; but the moral effect Of such
q blow would have been of inestmable value TO the
rebels. The Apaianehe is only about six weeks be-
hind the times, but the golden opportunity Is gone,
never TO return.
We have very direct intelligence from Tennessee.
Indeed it would stare the Rebel leaders if they knew
how promptly, regularly, and minuely the authorities
here kept advised Of their movements designs and
at every point from Paducah to Pensacola.

tlemen and sons of the cavaliers who compose the Sc
cesson forces in Arkansas, Texas, and Tennessee do
not deem the Yankees quite so despicable after all.
Deserters from the Rebel troops frequently arrive
here. They invariably state that they enlisted upon
compulsion either direct indirect Other fugtves
from the South in daily, with the DID, hackneyed
stories of insult indignty and outrage. Among those
who arrived yesterday was Mr.. w. ii. Frazier,
young man formerly from Middleton, N. j. He has
been residing near Mobile for six years. and his family
still remains there. He states that for refusing to join
the army he was thrown into prison. and confined for
FIVE weeks; and at last had his head shaved and was
ordered to leave the country. You, my reader, who
have never of the kind, may deem it very
trivial matter for person merely TO have one side Of
his head laid bare; but the first time you look upon an
instance of it TO say nothing of those where free
born men of Saxon blood bear fresh marks of the lash
upon their backs you will realize tho grossness of the
indiguity; you will bo very likely invountarily to
cnch your teeth, and thank God that the System
