CAPT. MowER.-We have room only to say of
the muddle through which Capt. Mower, of
Calais, has again been deprived of an opportu-
nifty to serve his country, that wherever the
blame may be, Capt. Mower has acted through
out in straightforward, honorable way, and
has deserved, most certainly, by his energetic
and constant efforts to bring his command into
the field any other fortune than the one which
has overtaken him. We regret very much the
result. SO far as it affects Mr.. Mower and hope
he may still find an opportunity, more pleasant
and more honorable than to be Captain of d.
vided Company, to support the old Flag.

their way to tho war. They were bought most

WON'T IDENTIFY HIMSELF WITH THE
SOUTHERN CoNFEDERACY-- larson
BroWnlow says the secession preach
ers tell the young men Of the South
that God is on their side, and that the
South is sure to succeed in the present
conflict, and adds:
We have been studying the harac-
ter Of God for the past forty years, and
that too in the sacred Biography of his
own writing, and we confess that we
have not come up with any point in his
character or nature which warrants the
belief that he will identify himself with
the Southern Confederacy in this con-
fiict.

Il AN GLAD 10 SEE You There
are more lies contained in these few
words than all the written speeches of
q law shop, and yet the expression is
on the tip end Of almost every ones
tongue. Take for instance: Madam
has pickles or doughnut to make, and
is up to ears in pots and kettles, when
Mrs Somebody enters with her six little
ones, all dressed up as neatly as if they
had been imprisoned in a bandbox.-
<'Bless me! Pm extremely glad to see
you" It's a whoppcr--its a lie. In
her heart she wishes her and her brood
to the. We like to have said it.
When we hear q person say edo call
again" it sounds much like, "John
show the gentleman the way out" To
be what the fashionable would term DO
lite we must necessarily be hypocrite
The true characteristics of sincerity is
bluntaess, and a sincere person will not
be profuse with pliments.

ANOTHER RECRUIT.-A son of John
Ferguson, Of Seven Mile Creek, arrived
here the other day from Napoleon,
Ark. Known there as Northerner,
his name was, without his consent or
knowledge, placed on the muster-roll
Of a secession military company. Be
ing warned by friend, he managed to
get away on an up-river steamboat be-
fore his military friends could get hold
of him. He pictures dcplorable state
of feeling in that region. He lived
with and worked for a man who enter
tanned the strongest Of Union scnti-
ments; yet SO powerful was mob law,
that to protect his dwelling, that man
had to hoist the traitor flag. Young
Ferguson helped him to do it. AS soon
as he arrived here, he walked six miles
to join the Lemonweir Minute Men,
So our company now numbers among
its recruits one who has been enrolled
in the secession army and has helped
to hoist q secession fag.-NaNsto7a

s3 An Old Soldier, writing to the
New York Evening Post, gives the
following timely hints to the volunteers
who are now Fastening to the defence
OF the country:
l. Remember that in campaign
more men die from sickness than BY
the bullet
2. Line your blanket with one thick
ness of brown drilling. This adds but
four ounces in weight, and doubles the
warmth.
3. Buy small India rubber blanket
(only $3.50 to lay on the ground or to
throw over your shoulders when on
guard duty during rain storm. Most
Of the Eastern troops are provided with
these. Straw to lie on is not always
to be had.
4. The best military hat in use is the
light colored soft felt: the crown be-
ing sufficiently high to allow space for
air over the brain. You can tasten it
up as o continental in fair weather, or
turn it down when it is wet or very sun
ny.
5. Let your beard grow, 50 as to pro-
tect the throat and lungs.
6. Keep your entire person clean !;
this prevents fevers and bowel com
plants in warm climates. Wash your
body each day, if possible Avoid
strong coffee and oily meats. General
Scott said that the too free use Of these
together with neglect in keeping the
skin clean) cost many soldier his life
III Mexico.
7. A sudden check Of perspiration
by chilly or night air often causes fever
and death. When exposed do not for
get your blanket.

A NOBLE TENNESSEE JOURNAL.

a NOBLE TENNESSEE JoURNAL.-
The Nashville Banner of Saturday
contains the two following paragraphs.
They are the utterings Of a truly patri-
otto heart:
Under our Geographic head this
morning will be found the account of
the correspondence between Gen.
Beauregard and Maj. Anderson. In
that correspondence the course of Mai
Anderson and his replies are at least
deserving Of q nations commentator.
In reply to Gen. Beauregard's demand
for surrender of the fort he said -
" PT0b0bly / aciU Gaoait orders from
tie President, and IF yom do not bat
ter as to pieces re aoHI be starred out IN
q .fe'0 d0ys." That one sentence. so
calm, digniiied and gallant, is enough
to immortaIize its author. Defeudino
his country's honor with one foot upon
the brink Of eternity, with the eyes Of
the world upon him, and sudden or
a lingering death staring him in the
face, his answer was that of q patriot
and d soldier. If, thus defending the
flag of the Union, the fortress is really
Chartered to pieces . we cannot but
believe that fearful retribution will
meet his assaiIants.
An anonymous correspondent writes
to us to know how long we intend to
be "Union shrieker?n We can only
say to him that We will battle for the
Union to the end Of its existence, if it
ever dies, and ''set up with it after it is
dead, if We should happen to outlive it.

Coop FOR A CANADIAN RAILROAD.
An instance Of Yankee spunk occur
red q few days since on the Grand
Trunk r. r. An engineer on QUE of
the trains conducted by a man named
Latham, affixed the Stars and Stripes
to his engine, which, being observed
was cut down by Latham.
The engineer at once replaced the
flag, and forbid Latham repeating the
offence, Or he would cut him down.
Upon the arrival Of the train at the
headquarters Of the Superintendent Of
the road, the facts were reported to
that official, who at once presented the
patriotic engineer with 4 beautiful silk
flag, told HIM to nail it to his engine,
and then promptly dismissed Latham.
This action was approved by the Di-
rectors, and now every car on the
road carries the stars and stripes.

FAIRBANKS ScALEs.-It is signif-
cant fact, which the public will appre-
ciate, that whenever new scales are put
upon the market, as large numbers
have been from time to time, during
the last thirty years, it seems to be the
first and chief aim Of the makers to
show that they are the same as Fair
banks, Oh like them, or are improve
ments upon them, or have taken prem
lums over them, thus recognizing the
latter as the standard for excellence,
and showing the strong hold they have
upon the public confidence. It is a
Well-known fact that while most of
these scales have, after more or less tri-
al, passed mainly out of use, Fairbanks
have gone steadily forward, increasing
IN public favor year after year, and are
now much more generally used than all
others, not only in this country, but
wherever American commerce has
been carried. This could not be so il
they were rot all that is claimed for
them In respect to their durability,
convenience and accuracy.-C Chicago

Gov. Randall Going to the Wan
Himself.

It viii be seen BY our letter from
Madison to-day (and our correspon-
dent knows what he is Writing about
that Gov. Randall is himself going to
war, at the bead of the troops from
this State, similar to Coy, Sprague, Of
Rhode Island. lie will make an ex-
cellcnt commander, and will create en-
thuslaSm among Our troops. DAILY
Wisconsin, 25M inst.
Other papers noticing the joint res
olution OF the Legislature, provided for
the absence Of the Governor from tie
State, have stated that lie was ''going
to the wars" Such is the fact, but
that he will assume personal command
of the troops is a mistake. The Gov
ernOr's excellent tact and judgment
are enough to keep him from taking
military command without even the ru-
diments Of a military cducation But
his purpose, we believe is established, to
90 where our troops are engaged, when
the arrangement Of military affairs for
this State is completed. While present
with them, his object will be to counsel
with those in immediate command, to
devote attention to the comfort and
welfare of the troops from this State,
and to show by his presence and cxer-
tons the interest taken by the people
whose executive he is, in the great is
sues of the struggle. 1t would be
quite like him, if q fight arose, to take
all active hand in, but as our troops
are more likely to be stationed i'll some
position where outbreaks are rather to
be depressed than open hostilities en-
countered, the probabilities Of his lead
ing q charge in battle are small. Bat
he will do his duty wherever he is
