A Rnafacrinf.

A letter frem young man, of this city,
who is attached to the Geneva Company of
Artillery, gives an amusing incident of the
great military foot race at Phillippi.-
Among the matters and things left by the
rebels in their hurried retreat" was a let
ter written by one of the soldiers to his
sweet heart, in which, among other news,
he stated that an attack was expected from
the U. s. troops, but that the Northerners
would be speedily "chawed up" as one
Virginiau was equal to ten Yankees, any
day. The latter was signed and addressed
to its destination, but not scaled. One of
our boys took the liberty of reading the
missiyo and Of adding a postscript, giving a
graphic account of the manner in which the
"chawing up" was actually performed, and
complimenting the lady on the feetness of
foot of her lover Tho letter was then seal
ed and dulv mailed.

Tho Ohio Regiment. &c.

A spcial Washington dispatch of the
18th to tho Cincinnati Commercial says:
The Ohio regiments now hero arc to re.
ceive recruits from homo at the end of the
three months term, and will remain in ser.
vcie. There will soon be appointed re.
cruiting officer for them in Cincinnati.
Ohio is to have six moro threo years reg
iments.
The three months men are TO be imme.
diately separated from tho three years men
at Camp Dennison. The three months'men
will be taken out in small detached compa-
nies. The three years men only will see
service. Those of the three months men
who consent will be Immediately paid off
and sent home. The rest will be fed until
the time is up.
Twenty steam gun boats arc to be built
at Cincinnati Immediately.

A Bankrupt CITY.

New Orleans as VIC learn from late New
Orleans papers, is bankrupt city. At n
meeting of the Board of Aldermen. on the
18th inst, tho Chairman of the Finance
Committee stated TO the Board, that "the
city was dead broke, and that he could not
see financial daylight" Another Alder
man, of large property, resigned bis seat,
and the Finance Committee reported in
fovor of suspending all new works to relieve
tho finances of the city in that quarter -
The Delta, commenting on the city's ad-
mltted bankruptcy exposes another source
OF anxiety. A large number of taxpayers,
it says, arc, at the present time, "utterly
destitute Of the means necessary to pay
taxes on their small property" and should
tho time for payment not be extended,
many will be compelled "to allow their
homesteads to pass under tho hammer of
the sheriff"
The Delta alleges that the bankruptcy
OF the city, though "little over four months
OF the year have passed." is largely owing
to expenditures in furthering the military
movements set on foot since the secession Of
the State; but it is evident that the utter
destruction of her credit and business. as
the inevitable result of Secession, is the
real cause ofthe bankruptcy of the Crescent
City, and the destitution to which n large
portion OF her people arc now exposed.

Negro Hung.

We learn from Memphis Avalanche that
on Thursday of last week, en- Silver Lake,
Washington county, Mississippi, negro
belonging to George B. Powell and employ
cd on the plantation of Mr.. Charles G. Nc
Hattop, was hung by committee of Safety.
He had stolen throe guns, two pistols n
bowie-knife, and watch, together with a
lot Of powder and lead, and succeed in
reaching bridge under which ho had Sc.
creted himself. AS Mr.. james S. Dodds
was riding over, the negro fred at him with,
out effect. He was subsequently captured
and hung 1t is supposed that he was in,
duced to steal the guns by several runaway
negroes in the neighborhood, belonging t.
the family of the late Stephen A. Douglas

The Plans of gen. scott.

With reference to the plans of tho vet
Gran Gen. Scott, and tho period within
which he expects to finish this campaign
against the rebels, the Buffalo Express de-
clares that it has positive knowledge of an
interview between tho Hon. Schuyler Col
fax and General Scott, sought by the for
mer for the purpose of urging, as tho unan-
imous desire of the Northwest, more Wig
orous prosecution of war measures, with
overwhelming forces, to render the decision
of the contest quick and decisive.
To assure Mr. Colfax, and enable him
from personal knowledge to pacify and con.
tent the eager and impatient people whose
feelings he represented, Gen. Scott laid be.
fore him and fully explained the plan:
which he had matured for the campaign
Mr.. Colfax was astonished with the newt
able certainty of the results which the vet
eran campaigner demonstrated before him
confessed, with reverence, his conviction
that the cause of the Union was safe be
yond preadyenture or possibility in the
hands of Gen. Scott, and went from hi:
presence assured that the people have only
to wait with patience for the inevitable tri
umph over treason and rebellion which they
are so eager to consummate.

The Army worm.

The hosts Of the herbage caters are max
ing great havoc in portions of Southern H.
inois, Indiana, and Northern Kentucky.-
As yet, We see no note of their appearance
in Ohio. In Illinois they began their raw
ages about the last of April, aud the back
ward spring favored their increase. They
multiplied by millions, and in many places
literally moved down the grass, corn and
wheat, in their devourDg march. 1t was
difficult in some places to keep them out
of the houses. Hogs are SO fond of them
that they will turn from corn to feast of
worms, and on lying down after becoming
satiated, they would be Immediately cover
cd with the crawling worms In Kentucky
the worms covered the track of railroad
so thickly few days ago as to stop the
train; men with 5boveIs had to clear the
track. So vouches the Louisville Journal
Ditching against them appears TO be the
most effectual method Of warding off their
attacks, and they dread tho hot sun.

Manufacture of Heavy Ordnance for the

The Boston Traveller states that the
South Boston Iron Foundry now employs
two hundred operatives in the manufacture
of heavy ordnance and projectiles for the
government. Some of the machinery is
kept in motion the whole twenty four hours,
so urgent are the demands. The Traveller
adds
AT this foundry are now making not on
ly twelve and thirteen-inch shell for NOR
tars, but shell for ten-inch Columbiads, and
shot and she'll for twelve and six-pounders,
with canister and grape. From two to
three hundred Of shot and she'll arc made
per day, and about twelve guns per week.
Many persons suppose that mortars and
heavy ordinance are cast hollow, ready,
after finishing, for use. This is mistake.
Tho gun is cast solid and then bored.
Tho Government inspection is Of the
most rigid character, and for the slightest
deviation, even the thousandth part Of an
inch, the gun is rejected. We saw one
heavy nine inch DahIgren navy gun which
was cut in three pieces for the furnace, sim
ply because in finishing tho outside, where
it could not be turned, the workmen had
Clipped off bit of iron as big only as a
ten cent piece. The gun was just as good
as any one that had been made, but the in
spector had rejected it,

call for gunboats to tako care Of their lake
communication with Mobile. Witness the
following from the True Delta of Saturday,
juno 9Th:
BLOCKADE OF LAKE PoNrcHARTRAIK.-
Yesterday mornings dispatch was received
from Gen. Bragg, at Pensacola, giving in-
formation to Gov. Moore that two light
draft war steamers had left the feet of Pen
sacola bound towards the lakes, and sup.
posed for tho purpose of intercepting tho
Mobile steamers. Mr.. Geddes, the agent
of the line, Immediately telegraphed to tho
steamer which left here yesterday morning
al s o'clock, to return.
1t is suggested that the immediate con-
struction ofa number Of gun boats would
obviate the danger of 2 suspension of inter-
course between New Orleans and Mobile
We trust that the attention of tho military
commander of this district and the Cover
nor will be immediately directed to the
subject.

"Things have sadly changed in Middle

The nonerIt OF Hayelocks.

Extract from private letter from Camp
Anderson, Washington, June Sd, 1851:
We left our quarters in Virginia yester-
day, in the very warmest part of tho day,
and marched through the hot sun, and
thank God there was not man taken sick
or sun struck. We all have Havelocks,
and that was what saved US. The people
in Washington would not havo us leave
here for anything, and look upon us as their
only protectors, and they would do any
thing in their power for us. Mrs. Abe
Lincoln, with another lady, visited our
camp in a carriage, and gave each man a
fine linen Havelock.

Tho organs of treason in Western Vir-
ginia, are said to have all died out, The
Virginian in recording their domise, leaves
the last record that will ever be made Of
them. We copy the following:
The Wheeling Union died natural
death few days ago; the editor of tho
Fairmount Virginian was last seen with an
epaulette on his shoulder on the march
Southwark; Surghnor, of the filthy Phil
lippi sheet, and "Captain of the Barbour
forces," absquatulated in hurry on Mon
day last, before breakfast; the Parkersburg
News has been extinguished by its neigh
bors; the Clarksburg editor was last seen
in tho Confederate army at Philippi; the
last seen of Dan Morris, he was lodging
through tho woods-we don't know wheth-
er he had his Virginia Patriot with him or
not, and tho Weston Herald has not been
heard from. Surely "the way of tho trans
pressor is hard"

Southern Climate aud Northern soldiers

The Southern rebels count strongly upon
tho effect of the hot weather upon our
Northern troops. In this they will find
themselves mistaken. Mr.. Russell, their
great friend and historian, in one of his let
tors from India, stated that its climate was
best endured by the Europeans for several
years after their arrival; and other author
tiles have stated the same thing. Our own
experience during the Revolutionary War
shows that the Now England troops oper-
ated in the South during the summer heats
of 1880 and 1881 without difficulty
Many glorious battles were fought by them
during the hottest months, and no one
heard of their relaxing in courage or CON
duct during July, August and September of
those years,

If President Lincoln pre,

If President Lincoln prevents the ere-
cution Of the Southern programme, pre-
serving the abundant constitutional rights
Of the Southern States as members of tie
Union, we shall say that he has defended
the cause Of liberty, and not a0ht the less
because the dominant party in the South
has its oaOn projects for rearing an empire
of tyranny and oppression. If it becomes
necessary for that purpose to draw the
sword, we shall say that until the milen-
nal day when the sword shall be beaten
into the plowsharo and the spear into the
pruning hook, war can be waged for no
higher object than to maintain the Cousti-
tuition of the United States over the length
and the breadth of the Union. From the
first, Mr.. Lincoln has uniformly declared
that he will do this. Every new decara-
ton he has made has illustrated his consis-
tency and steadfastness 10 seems to be
maintained an some quarters that because
the Government Of the United States is so
free, its Head ought not to defend 1t, We
do not see aChy a good Government should
hare denied to it The rights of selfdefence
aOhich are conceded as a matter of course to
bad one.-Zoadon News.
Tho Ne0s has all along discussed the
American troubles with wisdom. Occupy
ing an English position, it has spoken as
became an Englishman. 1t has recognized
tho real issue of our struggle, and while de-
claring for neutrality, has urged that no fa.
vor should be shown to the Rebellion. We
believe tho NeoOs represents the general as
it certainly does the better sentiment of
Britain. Yet the selfish, pro-slavery utter
ances of the Times, because louder and
moro authoritative, pass for tho voice of the
British people, when it speaks in fact only
for the lords, the aristocrats and the min
istry.- Utica Herald.
