Death of the King OF tho Gipsies.

There hae lately been great grief in the Clip
sey community at Yetholm and throughout
the district, on account of their venerable king
whose death took place on the 10Th ult. It Il
not right that one exalted 90 high above bis
kindred should be laid in the dust without q
word of farewell over his grave, especially
when his reign was of peaceful and not pre-.
datory character. Unlike some of bis cotem.
porary monarchs, his rule was go mild that bis
subjects not only maintained loyal Difference,
but were tenderly atticbed to him; while his
exemplary habit oil abstaining from interference
or aggression on the empire of others, procured
him much of the good will and respect of other
"poWere." While his regal character and con-
duct were thus exemplary, his personal demean-
or gained him the respect Of those not acknowl-
edging his sway. His palace has been house
Of call for many tourist, and the conversation
of the old king was generally much relished.---
HE most noticeable habits were those of read
ing the Scriptures and chewing tobacco, of
which he frequently received considerable
quantities from the visitors. The deceased
king bore the designation of Charles l., being
at least the first Of that name of bis family who
occupied the throne, and had attained the ven
erable age of e6. A large company followed
his remains to their last resting place in Yeth-
olm churchyard. He leaves no one to succeed
to the crown; but, as the monarchy is an elec.
tive one, 1t is likely his successor will be chosen
and crowned without an appeal to arms on the
part of any pretender. = Kelso (Scotland)

Union Sentiment An North Carolina

The New York Times, in late Issue, makes
an interesting statement based upon infOrma
tion said to be derived from gentlemen who hat
recently come from North Carolina and Tennes

States. According to this information, wher
the news of the capture Of Hatteras Inlet wat
received at Raleigh, the Legislature being In
session, several Union men rose In their places,
and cheered and swung their hats; and many
more people would have gone to Hatteras than
did go, to take the oath of allegiance to the
United States, had not rebel troops lined the
coast. Iu the center Of Western Tennessee

tFrom the Ohio. State Journal, Oct. o.
Army Overoonts nnd Binn,xets,


! The advancing season, and the location of Q
great portion Of the Ohio troops among the
mountains Of Virginia, where the nights are
very cool, have caused an immense demand foI
overooats and heavy blankets. In some In
stances our troops have doubtless suffered from
want OF this increased clothing. And there
have not been wanting those who have incon-
siderately cast the blame for this lack of sup
| ply upon the State officers. We think that the
statement Of few facts will convince any sen.
sble person that the blame has been entirely
unwarranted, 90 far as our State officers are
concerned
Some three months ago this subject was urged
upon the attention of the proper department;
aud the Government undertook to supply the
army. The matter thereupon passed from
the control Of the State authorities. Captain
Dlckerson, u. s. Quartermaeter at Cincinnati,
was Immediately notified by Gov. Dennison of
this arrangement, and an early preparation was
urged upon him In order to have the supplies
ready before the cold nights in autumn should
come on. Captain Dickerson accordingly made
q contract on the part OF the United States for
ifty-fve thousand overcoats, to be delivered by
the Both of September. These were intended
for the Ohio troops then in the field.
10 addition to these, the Quartermaster Of
the State contracted for 1900 overcoats, to
supply the troops that should be going into the
service.
The whole number, as contracted for by the
U. 5. Quartermaeter, was not completed at the
time specified in that contract; aud Capt. Dick
erson accordingly failed to receive the whole
number In due time; and upon these the troops
10 the field were dependent, according to the
undertaking of the Department at Washington.
On this account Gov. Dennison became very
anxious for securing the expected supply for our
troops in the field, both ss to the blankets and
overcoats.
A portion of those under the u S. contract
was sent forward into Va. to Gen. Rosecrans,
to be forwarded and distributed. And as early
as the lst Of September, Gov. Dennison wrote
urging upon the Government at Washington
expedition in this matter, as the nights we're al
ready chilly 10 the mountlins. He also wrote
urging Col Dckerson, the U. S. Quarter1nss-
ter, to hasten forward, by all possible means,
the coats needed by our troops. The III ,0O0
ordered by the State were duly supplied to our
of-going troops. The others, the 55 900, though
not within the control or the Governor, he did
not fail, by continued and most pressing appeals
to the u. s. officers, TO urge forward
The following dispatches will show the earn
estness with which Gov. Dennison urged this
matter upon those who had it in charge:
COLUMBUS, o., Sept 9, 1861
To NJ. C. Mdos, Warrington:
Can't you send me from FIVE to ten thousand
blankets Immediately. We can't get any, and
unless we receive some soon, our recruiting
must stop. The 5000 you sent Capt. Dicker-
ION, hardly begin to meet our wants.

SPEcULArIoNs IN COFFEE, SUGAR AND TEA-
The New York spectators are again at work.
A letter from that city says: q ah
A very active speculative movement in cof.
fee, sugar and tea has been in progress here
for some time past, the effect of which has been
to run up the prices Of these almost becessaries
of life to figure which places them quite be.
yond the reach Of those who have the most need
Of them--the poor. In anticipation Of the in
creased duty to which these commodities will
soon be subject, the speculators have bought or
are buying up and placing in store the surplus
stock on hand, In the expectation of command
ing their own prices for them. Even now the
commonest qualities OF brown sugar can not be
purchased At retail less than twelve and a. half
cents per pound, which is an increase of one
hundred per cent upon prices current for the
same quality month ago. The advance ON
coffee and tea is not 80 enormous, but IL is sufi-
cient to limit consumption 10 very perceptible
extent,an to make the working classes realize
the necessity of abandoning their use. The
moderate tax imposed by the Government up.

triotic spirit of seif-sacrifce which has charac
terized our people from the beginning of the
war, but it is questionable whether as much can
be said In regard to the spectators who are
thus taking advantage of the necessities of Gov
ernment to add to the burthens of the public for
the purpose OF enrichiDg themselves.
