DesertiOns from the Rebel Army.
Desertions from the rebel camp in Ten.
nessee are said to be very numerous, espe-
cialIy of Kentuckians, who, carried off by
momentary excitement, enlisted in the Con-
federate service. The oath required to be
taken by them, involving obedience to the
rebel government, and the invasion of Ken
lucky if commanded, is said to be an over
dose for the majority of the Kentucky re-
cruits, and, Disguised, they are DESERVING in
hundreds. No fewer than hundred and fifty
deserters have passed through Bowling
Green, Kentucky, within the last ten days.
These, for the most part, were from Camp
Trousdale. On last Monday evening, fif.
teen or twenty of these men arrived from
Camp Trousdale. They bore in triumph
the secession flag, and betrayed on their
features all the joy of a party who had just
regained their freedom. AS soon as they
reached the depot the secession flag was torn
into tatters, and the pieces were indignant>
" trampled under foot. Three cheers for
the Union we're then proposed, which were
given by the party with hearty will.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The question dis
cussed over Hollis nomination, was whether
he was a eo-operationist. 1t was maintain
ed that his earnest desire is to prevent
bloodshed, but to maintain the laws by
every possible peaceful means. During the
debate on the nomination, Mr.. Crittenden is
said to have taken the ground that as Ken
lucky is a central State, enjoying all the
prosperity consequent upon the present
Union and form of government, she
would never consent to its breaking up, and
the formation of southern confederacy of
which she would be border state exposed
to all the dangers and losses of such posi-
ton. 1t is stated that he was much affect
ed during this portion of his remarks, and
the manner in which he upbraided the
southern men who defeated his compromise
in the Senate, was very severe. He took
the position that the Union must be preserv-
ed at all hazards either by peaceable means
or force, and that force used against the law
less citizens of the government is not coer-
cion of a State. The speech being unex-
pected, created great sensation among the
Senators.

To Evansville, this city, one day was bound,
And as arrived there, went to looking around,
A number of nice stores found here and there,
And many Gents Clothing for sale everywhere, .
And beautiful ladies met my way;
Saw many young men dressed plain, and some gay !;
And also to show off, went for to buy

At 8. Rosenwald d Co.'s Store great bargains were
sold.

nice pair of Slippers and Fancy Silk Hose.

I went among ladies and took them by surprise;
I walked among young men, and told all the boys,
That this was the best store for all to take choice
Now people from the country, when to town you
are bound,
Do not leave Main street before Rosenwald's store
you've found,
There get many a Clothing for dollars so few,
And you'll be convinced that this poetry speaks
true.
Their sales are for cash, and all will be right;
They are trying to please and treat you polite.
Their new arrived Fall and Winter goods they offer
