The New Orleans Picayunc pays
the following delicate attentions to
General Butler and the Massachusetts
troops:
"All the Massachusetts, troops now
in Washington are negroes with the
exception of two or three drummer
boys General Butler, in command,
is a native of Liberia. Our readers
may recollcct old Ben, the barber,
who kept a shop in Poydras street,
and emigrated to Liberia with a small
competence. General Butler is his
SON."
The above is a fair specimen of the
statements Of secession prints when
discussing the movements of those
faithful to the Stars and Stripes
When leading Southern journals can
lie so unblushingly, can VIC marvel at
the general ingnorancc, in regard to
the feeling and the preparations of
the loyal supporters of the Govern
mcnt, which prevails among the riff
raft i'll the rebcllious States.

Except from the western part of the State
but little has been heard of the result OF the
vote on the secession ordinance at the election
held in Virginin on the 23d inst Notwith-
standing the terrorism that, prevailed ia the
eastern section. intensified by the presence of
large bodies of rebel troops from the Cotton
States, and the published announcement of
Senator Mason that all who opposed secession
must leave the State, it appears that at most
places heard from there were few votes
against the usurpation, while at some points
near Washington and in the counties on the
northeastern border quite formidable oppo-
sition vote was cast. In the western part of
the State the Uuion majority was overwheI-
ming. The following are the majorities agarnst
secession in twenty-siy counties heard from:

precautions

The Legislatures of some of our
States have already recommended our
farmers to plant this year extraordln-
ary quantities of grain and grass
We hear from various points that this
has been and is being done. Nothing
should be neglected which will help
to make the staple articles of food
abundant during the next two years.
Our farmers should not only plant
large crops Of wheat and corn, but
but they would do well for themselves
and for their country to cultivate, to
greater than ordinary extent, certain
other crops, the products Of which
are largely consumed by soldiers and
sailors.
Beans aud peas, dried. form an i'm
portant portion of the army and navy
Iatioms They arc only second in
Importance to bread and meat, and
as helps to healthy variation Of food,
are Of necessity. Large quantities of
these articles will be needed for army
provisions, and it is yet time for our
farmers to prepare themselves to sup
ply this demand.
Also, the farmers throughout the
country will do we'll to reserve their
calves from the butchers. This is
point of great Importance. We sug-
gest to our agricultural societies to
take some immediate and general ac-
tion in this matter. Many thousand
calves are sold and killed every
month in this country. Our farmers
will find it profitable to raise all the
increase of their herds during the
present wear at least, and this is a
matter of prudence, by which patriot
ic stock raisers and cattle owners can
do very much TO help the cause of the
Union, for which our brave soldiers
have gone to battle.
Hay, also, should be saved as much
as possible. 1t is an article much
needed in all campaigns; and there is
little doubt that the operations of the
rebels have been embarrassed by the
lack of it. The South has always
drawn its supply of hay from the
Northern and Eastern States. Three
months ago there was not five hun
dICu OdIeS Il nay IN inc oIaIeS nelu
by the mutineers. Great armies can
not be moved without numerous teams
and probably the lack of hay was one
not unimportant reason for certain
slowness of movement OH the part oi
the rebel army, which has surprised
our people and now alarms the trail
tors in Virginia.
Rebellion will not triumph for lack
of patriots to dispute its progress and
TNt it to flight from the land. But
an army can do nothing without sup
plies, and it must be the care Of those
who remain at home to spare no pains
10 provide the necessary supplies foI
our brethren who are doing battle for
the Union. Every bushcl of corn,
every barrel of flour, every bag OF
peas and beans, every ticrce of beef
and pork and every bale of hay, that
can be added to our crop this year,
should be raised.-[New York Post.

The Ohio boys are likely 10 be amcl g
the first to meet the enemy. The first and
second regiments, which arrived at Washing
ton few days since, arc now posted in Nir-
ginia near that city; and the regiments mn
der Coils. Irvine and Stcedman. the first
recently stationed at Bellair, the latter at
Marietta, have advanced into Western Vir-
ginia TO aid the loyal citizens Of that portion
of the State TO repel the rebel forces being
sent over to subdue them by the Richmond
usurpers 1t is also understood that other
regiments, now at Camp Tennison, will
speedily be ordered to march for points where
hostilities are most likely to occur.

If the rebels prove as ingenious in pro
jccting plans Of BATTLES and as successful in
putting them into execution as they are in
devising and carrying out schemes Of plum
der, they will prove formidable opponents to
encounter. The following is one of their most
recent exploits in the thieving line:
Edward I. Doran, paymaster Ct the navy,
was arrested about ten days ago at Norfolk.

The Union men of Maryland were for a

hampered with conditions which rendered
their loyalty of decidedly doubtful charac-
