Davis is reported to have said last summer
at the house Of friend on the Hudson,
that Washington was a murderer and cut
throat" and she could not bear to look on
picture of him! When it is considered that
Davis himself won his principal notoriety
as military man, that Gen. Washington
was a Southern. shareholder and not in this
fight, that Mr.. Davis, whatever the charac-
ter of her husband, is lady, and that she
was visiting friend of Washington, (thc
picture being suspended in the parlor) it IS
not probable that Lady" Davis ever said
any such low and disgusting words as are
attributed to her. -. Ohio is said to be
intending to organize a reserve corps Of
100000 men? Where will Ohio get them !?
What necessity is there for such force'

Southern papers are informing their readers
that the Northern Congress is about to fly
to Chicago, Gen. Scott to Philadelphia, and
that the Confederate troops will probably

dall's Message to the Extra Wisconsin lie.
gislative session is intensely warlke: he
recommends the loan Of million to put the
war through, and he talks as though all
Wisconsin ought to leave home at once for
the South. This is well enough perhaps
but We agree with Gov. Ramsey that the
General Government is able to take care of
herself and it is time to send her troops and
advance money when she calls for it. The
States have no public lands or tariff collec-
tions-there are no ways to raise money in
the, States except by direct taxation and a
very heavy load Of this will lead to rebellion
at home. What the Federal Government
wants Of the States will be forwarded with
alacrity when called for; let US wait till
Uncle Sam calls and not plunge our coun-
try in irretrievable debt simply to make a
sho,o Of patriotism ciril interests of
the country will be discussed when the tax
collector comes round. ID. d. W. Carver

Secession will take place in June. There are
some noble men on the Union side but the
result is mixed. Gov. Andrew of Mass.
has sent $50, 900 to Europe for the purchas,
of arms. In his Message to the Legislature
he asserts that this war is not the North
against the South but the Constituencies
against those who would break down all
the barriers Of protection for State Rights
or Federal integrity. The report that
there is large body of negroes near Pitts
burgh ready to invade Virginia is mostly a
hoax; few strolers are lounging about
there bat the authorities do not recognize
them as important or dangerous. We are
glad to see that negroes and Indians are not
accepted by the North as allies in this war.

E. r. Paul, its excellent and industrious cd-

Paul were going out of the business we
should express a regret at the demise of the
Advertiser; but as the case stands we don't
care snap-if anything we rather like
it. Paul would have starved to death had
he stayed there and now Dunlcith will learn
who was her best friend. We wish E. R.
