Volunteers Supposed to be Poisoned.

For some weeks past, Company F.,
Capt. W. H. Hubbs, attached to Colo
mel Moorehead's regiment Of Light
Guards, have been quartered at one Of
the hotels in Germantown, Pa, so far
as their meals were concerned. After
the company had partaken of their
supper on Monday evening, number
of the members complained Of being
sick, and of having severe pains in their
stomachs; but during the night most of
them somewhat recovered; and on Tues
day were enabled to parade with the
regiment Still, several of the men
were confined to their beds, and physi-
clans sent for, two of whom made an ex-
animation Of the coffee drank by the
men, and they gave it as their opinion
that mineral poison hid been intro
duced; but the dose was not sufficient to
destroy life Since that time some eff
forts have been made to ascertain how
this substance got into the coffee, but so
far no clue has been obtained. No ope
connected with the hotel is even suspec-
ted of so base an attempt to destroy life,
and the whole thing SO far remains a
mystery. A further analysis Of the
coffee is to be made, to ascertain the ex-
act character of the poisonous ingre-
dients.-PHU. Ledger.

From the New York POST

The traitors of Virginia lately set a
negro astride the statute of Washington
in Richmond, to show their contempt
for the Father Of his Country. They
have somewhere !. statute Of Jefferson,
and on reading the following extract
from the correspondence Of the eminent
Virginian, they will doubtless put rope
around the neck of his statue.
While the Convention which formed
the Constitution of the United States
was in session at Philadelphia, Mr..
Jefferson, then representing our govern
ment at the Court of France, wrote as
follows, in lie etter to NJ. Dumas, under
date Of September 10, 1881:
''Our federal convention is likel ly to
sit till October. There is general dis
position throughout the state to adopt
what they shall propose, and we may be
assured their propositions. will be wise,
as more noble assembly never sat in
America. Happily for US, when we find
our constitution defective and INSULT
cient to secure the happiness Of our
people, aCe can assemble, aoith aU the COOL
ness of philosophers, and set it to rights,
while every other nation On earth must
have recourse to arms to amend or to
restore their constitutions.
Jefferson little thought that the de-
generate sons Of his own beloved state
would ever take part in an attempt to
destroy the Constitution which he thus
shows the way to amend. Well may the
Richmond Euanainer exclaim that Ben
diet Arnold was the ablest of generals.
His example is just now fashionable in
Virginia. But Arnold failed, and so
will his imitators of Montgomery.

4 Heroine.

A Heroine.
The following item is taken from the
Gin. Ga=ette's Columbus Correspondence
of Monday:
A handsome young volunteer in one
of the Columbus companies at Camp
jackson was discovered last Saturday to
be woman--very greatly to the sur
prise of her comrades, and of the Colo
mel of the regiment. She belongs, it
appears, to Columbus, and was assisted
by some Of the ladies here in perfecting
her disguise. She had been performing
the most severe camp duties, like the
rest of the soldiers, standing guard, and
even helping, on one occasion, to carry
some heavy lumberl for erecting barracks.
She declares she will be a soldier yet,
and says that they wont detect her so
easily the next time.

Diabolical Attempt to Poison tho Water
at Camp Clay.


Thesoldiers at Camp Clay, Ky, received
information, few days ago, that de-
sign was on foot to poison the cisterns
from which they obtained water for
cooking and drinking. 1t came from
such a reliable source that the command
ing officers at the camp ordered special
sentinel to guard each cistern night and
day. Nothing occurred to confirm the
suspicious of the Kentucky volunteers
until yesterday, when a man approached
one Of the guard and offered to bribe
him to leave lis post. The brave SOL
dier was not "for sale" and instead of
taking the bribe, lie "took the man
who offered it into custody. On search
ing the rascal, q phial full Of st'ychnsne
was found in one of his pockets. The
use for which this was intended was ap-
parent to the authorities of the camp; so
they ordered the villain to be placed in
the guard house for further trial. He
will lie court martialed, and we hope he
will receive what he richly deserves

ST. LOUIS, Nay 12-This city has
seen another terrible tragedy. Last
night about o'clock large body of
Home Guards entered the city through
Fifth street from the Arsenal, where

the whole column was instantly in con-

minutes, was terrible-the bullets flying
in every direction, entering the doors
and windows of private residences,
breaking shutters, tearing ratings, and
even smashing the bricks in the third
story. The utmost CONSERVATION pre-
vailed, the spectators fleeing in all di-
rections; and but for the random firing
of the troops, scores of people must have
been killed, as most Of the firing was di
rected down their own ranks. The
troops suffered most severely, four of
their number being instantly killed and
several wounded.
Only one of the soldiers, John Dick,

after the occurrence, and most intense
indignation is expressed against the

In order to allay the excitement and
restore confidence to the people, Gen
Harney has issued a proclamation to the
