search of every secession house. When
they would come to certain suspicious
looking boxes, chests or bureaux, the fe-
male portion of the household would in

that. There is nothing in it but our fine
clothes. and you will muss them oil upP'
"Don't be alarmed, ladies'" replied

Missouri AsTIR.-Gov. Gamble seems
determined to show to the world that the
new State Government was organized in
earnest. He has issued call for AZ, 900
troops for State service, to be equipped
and paid as regular troops; and he init
mates that if the requisite number do not
volunteer. drafting will be resorted to.
The consequence is. that new life has
been infused into the Union men, and we
learn that they are already rapidly volun-
teering. This phase Of affairs causes o
great futtering among the traitors. fol
they see that their fun is about spoiled

than submit to being drafted, they will
leave the State-a consummation devout.

: To BE LOOKED INTo.-Several of the
Iowa Indians, who are considered relia-
bic. have been imparting information to
some of our citizens, upon a subject which
should interest the whole State. They
say the secession emissaries have finally
won over the Cherokees fully to aid them
in this war, and that the Cherokees have
sent runners among all the tribes on the
border, to seduce them from their loyal.

They say that several of these runners arr
now among the Iowas. in this vicinity
and that, Notwithstanding the earnest ap'
peals Of the Chiefs and those who remain
true, number of the warriors have de
termined to join the traitors. under tn
promise of guns and many other fin
presents. Are these things true? If so
what are the Indian Agents doing?

Kansas. on the Republican Fork. They
brought their household goods and stock
along. end. according to their account,
had left in consequence Of Indian tronb-
les. They report that several families in
that section have been massacred. and
all the settlers notified that unless they
leave. they will be scalped. They re-
port 5000 Indians in the vicinity. and
that there is a general stampede Of set
tiers from there.
We are unable to say how much ex-
sggeration there is in the above, but
doubt not it has some foundation for
these reported Indian troubles are becoming
too numerous and well-authenticated to
discredit them entirely. 1t is time the
Indian tribes in Kansas were looked to-.
and stringent policy adopted. 1t is
time regiment of Home Guards were
forming; and ten additional regiments
should be sent on the border, to annihilate
the hostile Indians, and the emmissaries
who are melting them to mischief. There
is no use in mincing matters. The Indi-
ans have sense enough to know what
favors they are receiving from the Gov
ernment that they have entered into
solemn treaties of peace and amity and
they have experienced the leniency Of
Government in former shortcomings
If. in the face of all this. they permit
themselves to be again drawn into mur.
der and pillage. their case should be set.
tied for all future time-a swift war ol
determination should be waged against

lieve. from intimations thrown ont. that
they have been notified of an intended
movement upon St. Joseph, or other

win only rest easy under the late compro-
mise for ten days longer. everything will
be safe. We give these items as VIC heard

A BRIGHT SHEET.-The St. Joseph Ga
zette, which has dwindled down to the
size of mans hand, is bright luminary
in the newspaper world. About once a
week it announces. upon what it pro-
nounces reliable authority, that the Con-
federates have taken Washington. and
any quantity of similar stuff. 1t has
been asked, what object the Gazette can
have in this wholesale manufacture ol
falsehoods, when they must speedily be
exposed ! There is more of an object
than one would readily suppose. There
are very many benighted "Pukes" who
read no other paper but the Gazette, anc
they swallow everything it contains. By
publishing such stuff, the Gazette keeps
those ignoramuses in good secession heat
and makes them keen to HE off to tn
Southern army. to help buoy up the fail
ing fortunes of the pirate Government.

ByrOn's Marriage.

Miss Mdrtineau contributes to tho latest
Atlantic an excellent article on Lady Byron,
proving that the lattor had more real heart
than the poet Of sentiment and passion-her
husband. The following account of the
marriage will interest all readers:
They were married on the second of Jan
uary. The wedding day was miserable. BY.
ron awoke In one Of his melancholy moods
and wandered alone in the grounds till called
to be married. His wayward mind was full
Of all the associations that were least con.
genial with the day. His thoughts were full
Of Mary Chaworth, and of old scenes in his
life, which no fancied he loved because hs
was now leaving them behind. He declared
that his poem Of 'The Dream" was q true
picture Of his wedding morning, and
there are circumstances, not told in his Life, !,
which render this probable. After the GER
emony and breakfast the young couple left
Scahm for Sir Ralphs seat at Halnaby. To
wards dusk of that winter day the carriage
drove up to the door, where the old butler
stood ready to receive his young lady and her
bridegroom. The moment the carriage door
was opened the bridegroom jumped out and
walked away. When his bride alighted, the
old servant was aghast She came up to the
steps with the listless gait of despair Her
face and movements expressed such utter
horror and desolation that the old butler
longed to offer his arm to the lonely young
creature, as an assurance OF sympathy and
protection. Various stories got abroad as
the cause of this horror, one probably as
false rs another; and for his own part, By
ron met them by a false story of Miss Mil
banke's lady's-maid having been stuck in,
bodkinwise, between them. As Lady Byron
certainly soon got over the shock, the proba-
bility is that she satisfied herself that he
had been suffering under one of the dark
moods to which he was subject, both consti-
tutionally and as the poet Of moods.

and frankly discussed in the Cabinet, and
when conclusion was finally reached the
resolution of the President was announced
in terms as emphatic as he probably ever
addressed to one of his Secretaries. "1t is
now all over, and reipforcements must be
sent" was the language; and these words
were spoken in open council, the honorable
Secretary of the Interior himself being. pres
ent. Ii was in strict accordance with the
command thus given that the Star Of the
West was chartered and the reinforcemeDts
sent forward. In all these circumstances
the public will look in vain for any traces of
''trick" on the part of Gen. Scott or of the
Secretary of War. Il is true that, in the
hope of avoiding waste of human life, an
endeavor was made to conceal the expe-
dtion from the hostile troops in charge of
the forts and batteries in Charleston harbor;
but this endeavor the vigilance and zeal Of
the Secretary defeated.
The ''countermand' spoken Of was not
more cordially sanctioned by the President
than it was by Gen. Scott and myself. 1t
was giyen, not because of any dissent from
the order on the part of the President, but
because of letter received that day from
Major Anderson, stating, in effect, that he
regarded himself as secure in his position,
and yet moro because Of intelligence which
late on Saturday evening reached the De-
partment that n heavy battery had been
erected amonr the sand hills nj the entrance 10

The remains Of Col. Johnston, the Pio-

Piqua from Washington, on Wednesday
evening last, for interment in the family
burying ground ut Upper Piqua. The
corpse was kept over until Saturday, for the
purpose Of giving time to his many friends

livered the sermon, utter which the BODY
was placed in charge Of the Masons, Of
which honored fraternity Col. j. had long
been member, having sat in the lodge
room with the Father Of his Country. The
truly impressive funeral ceremonies of the
Order were then gone through with, when
the coffin was opened, that the friends might
take the last look on earth, Of the features
OF him, who had for SO long period been
enshrined in their hearts, and who had been
one among the first to open up the settle-
ment OF the now prosperous Miami Valley.
