Last words Of senator Douglas.

From the Chicago Journal 4tb inst.
For long time previous to his death
Senator Douglas had been in scmi-con.
scious condition. During the morning Of
his death, his mind and energies rallied
somewhot. AS his devoted and loving
wife sat at his bedside, soothing and cas-.
ing him with those tender words and ac-
tions which only great hearted woman
can employ, she asked the dying statesman
if he had any message to send to his boys,
Stephen and Robert. He seemed at first
not to hear the question, and she repeated
it. Rallying his strength, his eye kiudled
up and his whole frame seemed to dilate,
as he answered:
Yesi Tell them to obey the Laps, ana
support the Constitution Of the Unteo
iStateS!"
A short time after he desired to be rails
ed, and his wish was complied with, SC
that he might look out from his window
once more, upon the city which had loved
and honored him so long. One OF bis
friends expressed a doubt as TO the ease Of
his posiii6a, when he simply repied-"he
In his dying moments
he faint.y articulated: "Death, death,
DEATH" aud his great soul had passed away.

Tho soIdiery at Grafton.
The Grafton Virginian saws:

Iho NIalIOu 'HSIulau s6ys'
The march of the United States troops
down the bill into our town yesterday, aside
from the emotion of gladness which filed
every heart to overlowipg, was, to US here
in these secluded mountains, where the like
was never seen before, most magnificent
sight. Marching in solid columns down
the slope with the strictest military preci-
sion, their FURNISHED arms glitterug in the
sunlight, it was grand and imposing spec
tacle.
Tho true gentlemanly bearing, too, Of
the officers aud soldiery, as they mingle
with our citizens when off duty, is worthy
of the highest oommendation. If the en-
tire American army is made Of such mate
rial as these few hundreds, the Government
may vol bo proud Of her citizen soldiery
Well may we say that our Government
is the strongest in the world, while suct
men as these viii so cheerfully rush to he
aid in times like this.

How THE TRAIroRs FLED.-The move
ment eastwardly of the Federal troops along
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad scatters
the prominent traitors who are glad to get
out of the way even with whole skin, not
stopping for a change of linen. The
Wheeling IntelLigencer describes the escape
Of a number of notorious rebels from Fair
mont on the approach of troops, among
them DR.. Kidwell, Jim Neeson, Alf Hay,
mond, and an editor named Drinkard.
The first ono left his trunk in the street,
reaching bis buggy by very narrow es-
cape through a stable. Neeson left with a
pair of saddle-bags, and pretended to be a
doctor rushing at full speed to tho bedside
of dying patient and thus passed the
scouts. Hammond catched up a carpet
bag and made across the fields, and Drink
ard left his 'case" and cut his own ''stick, y
leaving his paper to be run by the printer
soldiers.

French cavalry for the U. $. service.


In the Paris correspondence of the New
York Times, We find the following:
The Count Trigaut, Captain of Artillery
in the French Army, who has travelled in
America, and speaks the English language,
is going to Washington to offer his services
to the Government He thinks we need in
the American Army, moro than anything
else, an increase of light cavalry, like the
mounted Chasseurs d'Atrique which have
acquired lately such great distinction in
the French service, and he would prefer TO
be enrolled in that branch of the service
Hereafter there is to be no increase of the
heavy accoutered cavalry in the French
service, for it is found that while two
hours fast riding completely fatigues man
and horse, the light accoutered ehasseurs
with their hardy little horses will travel
with case to both the whole day. The riied
cannon and Minnie gun have nearly done
away with the heavy cavalry charges form
erly so much relied on, but cavalry is still
ominently useful for accommodating pur-
poses, and for all rapid movements, and
for these services the ChosSeurS dAfrique
surpass anything the service has yet seen.
The horses are all Arabian and small /;
they can live upon dead grass and bread, if
necessary, and seem never tired. The sad
die does not weigh over four pounds; the
men are as lightly dressed as possible, and
carry a rife, sword, and pistols, While
not irresistible in bearing down solid mas
ses of infantry by mere weight of horse
flesh, this arm is yet capable of making
very effective charges, as was seen in the
late Italian campaign.

LoyaI AmerIcans Abroad.

Prominent American citizens abroad ex-
hibit uucompromising devotion to the Union
by acts as we'll as words. At meeting in
Paris on the 18th, 100000. were subscribed
to the Union cause, and committee was
appointed to wait upon the Americans in
Paris who were not present at the meeting
In few days the sum was run up to over
45,ooof
Some fl, 500 have been raised by Amer.
leans residing in Manchester and Liverpool
towards purchasing battery of rified can
non to be sent to America for the use of the
Government in upholdiug the Stars and
Stripes of the Union. Some of the cannon
purchased by the Americans have beer
shipped, and the remainder will follow i'm
mediately. The Posts Paris letter says
"the special desire of the contributors is
that the cannon shall be placed, with al
possible expedition, in a position wher
they can expunge from this earth those in
carnate traitors, jeff Davis, Twiggs, an,

PIRATIcAL INTENTIONS OF THE TEXAS
Dorm, late Major of the
United States Army, was, at the latest ad-
vices, at the Leena River, eighty-five miles
west Of San Antonio, where he captured
Col. Reeve and his command. Van Dorm
has fourteen companies of cavalry, five of
infantry, and one of artillery, making a
force Of some 1900 men, with ample sup
plies of arms and ammunition, taken from
the San Antonio Arsenal, and ample
means of transportation taken from the
Quartermaster's Department His anowed
purpose is the occupation of Arizona, to
secure passage to the Pacific, thereby
opening communication with the 10000
Breckinridge and Lane men of California,
oue-half of whom are secessionists; also, to
secure Guayamas and Cape st. Lucas as
depots for privateers to pounce on the ships
of the Pacific Mail Company. Tho Mexi-
can States of chihuahua and Sonora have
no force to oppose him; and when once
there, ten thousand men and ten millions Of
money would be required as tho ounce Of
cure, while two thousand men would now
be the ounce Of preventive.

The Baltimore Sun thus portrays the
dreadful State of desoIation that has fallen
upon the Monumental City:
REDUCTION OF REHTs.-A meeting of
tenants occupying tho stores on Baltimore
street, between Gay and Charles, with a
view of a reduction of rents during the pres
ent crisis, was held on Thursday night
A report was received from a Committee
appointed at previous meeting TO wait on
the owners of property, stating that re-
duction of from thirty-three to fifty per
cent. had been made on most of the houses.
A resolution was adopted not to occupy
any store the owner of which refused
to reduce the rent while the panic con-
tinues. On some of the wharves, il is
said, the owners of the storehouses have
RENTED all the rent due, and voluntarily
given the use of their property, at least for
the present. A like movement is spoken
of in relation to dwelling houses.

The Memphis Avalanche says, ''the Lin
conites boast that they have a navy and We
have none. In this they are mistaken. Iu
few days we will have two from Europe
the English and the Freneh-which will
give due attention to Lincoln's pretended
blockade" The traitors evidently think
that the old world is as crazy about cotton
as they themselves are At the same time
with strange inconsistency, they are blowing
up their cotton fields and sowing corn. We
see accounts of this in nearly all our ex-
changes in the seeded states. Between
the blockade and this substitution of crops,
we reckon foreign vessels will have very lit
tie inducemcnt to visit southern ports.

A correspondent who accompanied The
Ohio troops in their recent descent upon
Psrkersburg, states that the Union mon
were completely frantic with joy on seeing
them. Some Of the seccssioDisis had given
out word that $4,000 men could not land
there, but whom tho Ohio No. rounded to,
with her decks, guards and roof black with
blue coats, not a scoundrel was seen. They
marched to the beautiful hill back Of town,
and prepared to encamp. ]. ]. Jackson,
the same who figured so conspicuously in
his opposition to Mr.. Carlisle, in the Wheel
ing Convention, and whom many believe TO
be a secessionist at heart, complained good
deal Of the troops because they trampled
down the grass The occupation Of Par
kersburg by the United States troops has
put a complete extiDguisher on secession
there, and now the people seem as earnest
in their devotion to the Union as any in tho

The following lines have an evident applie
ion about these days. Those who parted wit
rothers, sisters and lovers, when the tocsin
Tar first sounded in this region, can apprecia
he cadence of the symphonies:
aThe soldiers Tear.
Upon the hill he turned
To take last fond look
OF the valley and the village church,
And the cottage by the brook;
He listened to the sounds
So familiar TO his ear
And the soldier leaned upon his sword
And brushed away a tear.
Beside the cottage porch
A girl was on her knees,
She held aloft snowy scarf
Which futtered in the breeze;
She breathed prayer for him
A prayer he could not hear
But he paused to bless her as she knelt
And wiped away a tear
He turned and left the spot;
o, do not deem him weak,
For dauntless was the soldiers heart,
Though tears were on his cheek.
Go watch the foremost rank
In dangers dark career,--
Be sure the hand most daring there
Has wiped away tear.

ton as the rock gives the wave. / long 10

If the Rebels at Pensacola are painting 90
hard for fight, why don't they try their
hand with Col, Brown just there in their
own neighborhoodl They are seven or
eight thousand strong, and the whole num-
bcr Of Infamous Northmen, under Brown,

sketch Of Gen. Beauregard, whom he met
at Charleston:
Yesterday morning l waited on General
Beauregard, who is commanding the forces
Of South Carolina. Any one accustomed
to soldiers can readily detect the 'real afti-

patent he was capable Of greater things
than taking Sumter. He Is squarely-
built, lean man, of about forty years Of age,
with broad shoulders, and legs "made to

is covered with thick hair, cropped close,
and showing the bumps which are .reHec-

and well developed, projects somewhat over
the keen, eager dark eyes; the face is very
thin, with very high cheek bones, we'll

the wisdom and humanity of employing a
large force in the present war, says:--The

tory shall be made to come, if We fight for

piled, Then will send fifteen thousand
there. There can be no mistake about
