towns are generally small, and not more than {
one, or at most two, 10 each county, THIS class
cannot be large. Some prominent men have
politically killed themselves ard outraged the
feelings Ct the people, by making secession
harAngues. The old story that Mr.. Lincoln
intends to tree the negroes, % made use OF TO
alarm the Union men, bu. without much sue
cess. The prevalent 'p'nion Is that no State
has had any cause to secede, and that it would
be q great piece Of folly for kentucky TO fol. /
low South Carolina 10 ruin.
WHAT UNION MRN WAxr.-Among resolu-
tions unanimously adopted by the great con-
vsntiOn in session at Wheeling, was one thank.
ing the Government of the United States Tor
having sent troops 10 assist IN rescuing the
loyal men Of Virginia from the usurping ty-
ranny OF the secession cabal. This is an au-
thenIie expression of tho views Of the Union
men, and puts end 10 the idle pretence that
abe march of the National army into Virginia |
was deprecated by any body but the secession
isls. What is true of Virginia, is true of Ill |
the Southern States. The UHioE men in all /
Of them, and without exception, have been im-

WANT OF CLEANLIHEss-A Philadelphia
paper says that before Col. Smtlls regiment
received their uniforms they went through
ablutory process not generally understood. A
large quantity of solHton of corrosive subli-
mate was prepared. II was taken TO Smiths
Island, where each man was washed in i from
head to foot and then made to plunge into the
baths provided there. His new clothing was
then given to hIs, but the geTmin thus destroy

PERIL BY PoIsoS.-Shou!d the Federal troops
capture Memphis. in addition to the venemous
editorials Of the Journals Of that city, they are
threatened with a swarm Of new daagcrs. The
