The Wabash also came in for large
share of the fight. A cannon shot passed
along her deck and struck Thomas jack
son, the coxswain. The ball nearly car
ried away one Of his legs, leaving it so
that it hung only by shreds of flesh and
skin. Leaning against gun, he drew
out his sheath knife and tried to cut it off
entirely. The knife was too dull, and
his shipmates hastencd to him and carried
him below. He kept continually asking

He died in two hours, his last words ex-
pressing happiness that he had done some
thing for his country. fctt
| Evidence was found that at least one
man in the rebel force at Beaufort was
determined not to fight against his country.
A letter dated at Hilton Head, the Sd,
which was left in one of the forts, said !:
-"The alarm was given to US this morn :
ing that there were fifty thousand federals
left the Yankee nation few days ago to

hatchet and cut off his thumb, to keep
from serving. The colonel has court mar

with him." t
Among the letters found was one from
DR.. Buist, in Gen. Lees western Nir-
ginia army, giving an account of some of
his laundering attcmps to surround Rose
Grams. He says -" Well, at the end Of
seven days marching, counter-marching

proved failure--in the opinion of our

Desperate Kentucky Scheme.

The Louisville Journal of the 3Oth ult,
publishes two letters disclosing desperate
scheme to precipitate Kentucky into secess-
ion by the aid of Tennessee. 1t appears
that cannon, rifles, muskets, and Kentucky
soldiers have been sent to Union City from
Paducah. Union City is in Tennessee,
near the Kentucky border, and according TO
the plot as developed in the Journal, it
seems that the Convention Of the First Con-
gressional district, to meet at Mayfeld, is
to hurry through secession ordinance,
when the disunionists of that District, with
strong military force at Mayfeld, backed
by far stronger Tennessee Military force
at Union City, will strike for disunion-
The Journal says "here is case that calls
loudly for the immediate and vigorous in
terposition of the authorities of Kentucky"
That portion of the State bordering on
West Tennessee is the hot-bcd of traitors
in Kentucky, and strong United States
force thrown into Paducah would prove the
best Union preservative, as well as the ad-
vance guard of much needed line offixed
bayonets right straight down to rebellious
Memphis.

How TO TAKE CARE OF THE HAIR.-As
to men, we say, when the hair begins to
fall out, the best plan is to have it cut short
give it good brushing with a moderately
stiff brush, while the hair is dry; then wash
it well with warm soap suds; then rub into
the scalp, about the roots of the hair, little
bay rum, brandy or camphor water. Do
these things twice month the bIushing
of the scalp may be proitably done twice
a week. Damp the hair with water every
time the toilet is made. Nothing ever
made is better for the hair than pure soft
water, il the SC lip is kept clean in the way
we have named. The use of oils, or poma-
tums, or grease of any kind, is ruinous to
the hair of man or woman. We consider
it a filthy practice, almost universal though
it be, for it gathers dust and dirt, and soils
whatever it touches. Nothing but pure
soft water should ever be allowed on the
heads of children. 1t is different practice
that robs our women of their most beauti
full ornament long before their prime; the
hair of our daughters should be kept with
in two inches until their twelfth year.

The WAY TO DO IT.-General Scott says
that, if he wanted to make the New York
Fire Zouaves break through the army of
the foe, he'd have fire bell rung for some
district on the other side of the rebels
He says that half million of the traitors
could not keep the Fire Zouaves out of
that district five minutes. = Louisville

PoL1r1cAL OPINIONS REGULATED BY
LArrrUDE.-A gentleman of this city, who
left New Orleans a week or two since,
says that he took passage for ST. Louis in
o steamer full of passengers. At first
nothing was heard but Secession senti-
ments, and one would have supposed that
the feeling was universal, but after por-
ton of those on board had been landed at
and below Memphis, the Union men, be-
fore silent, began to declare their opinions,
waxing louder and louder as each degree
Of latitude was passed, until at last, as the
region of northern Kentucky and the free
States above was reached, it swelled into
such unanimity as to exceed even the Sc
cession triumph of the early period Of the
trip. 1t needs but the lifting away of the
reign Of terror to emancipate the South
from the rebels who now domineer over
them.-Boston Traveller.

Gossip About Gov. spraguc.

81 A Washington dispatch 10 the New York
Times remarks:
The newspapers have, with their usual
sagacity and nice sense of propriety, been
discussing the pros and cons Of Gov.
Sprague's marriage with Miss Cameron,
and one of your contemporaries gravely
and, officially announced that the affair
would speedily be consummated. In or
der that no further discussion may be deem
ed desirable, I will state that the youthful
Governor is afianced to Miss Kate Chase
the eldest daughter of the present Secreta-
ry of the Treasury. The Gov. is not yet
80 years of age, and is reputed to be worth
not far from $1O,O00,000. r
The gallant Governor of Rhode Island
has been called home from Washington by
the pressure of State duties, but will soon
return TO his command with second Bat
terry of the unf1inching Providence Plauta-
tion boys. Like the first battery, the sec
ond will be furnished with James ri1ed
cannon and will prove formidable body
for the enemy to meet. Horses have been
purchased in New York, and the battery is
being organized by Gov. s. under the aus
pices of the State.

Position Of Canaaa.

The Toronto Leader Is the Ministerial
organ Of the Canadian Government, and IS
supposed to reflect the opinions and poll
CT Of the Provincial authorities. 1t insists
that Canada will maintain strict neutrali-
u in our unfortunate civil war, and that
no recruiting of troops for the North or
South has taken place, or will it be per.
mitted 10 the Provinces. 1t is evident that
the sympathies Of the people of Canada
are warmly with The free States, but inter
sa.ional obligation forbids any expression
Of it in the way of men or means. The
Leader says:-"If any direct aid were
given BY England 10 the Southern Confed-
eracy, that would be just cause of war.
But this Is not the case and nothing of the
kind will be DONE"
We observe that portion of journals of
Upper Canada, including the T, roIto Lead
er, express apprehension of war with the
United States, ard urge immediate prepa-
tion to meet such contingency. Foolish
predictions. of maurauding expeditions
this side of the line are put forth, and on
the strength Of such preposterous alarm it
Is advised that the Canadian militia should
be put on a better footing, and that troops
be concentrated at the important points
on the frontier. An importation of fifty
thousand Minnie or Enfield rifles is being
made, and other evidences of warlike prep
aration are being exhibitrd. Our good
neigLbors over the Lake may as we'll quiet
their fears. Nobody from this side will
hurt them.

We find the following sharp shots in the
Louisville Journal:
Wigfnll has written letter, fixing the
18th of June as the latest day to which be
can be induced TO postpone the capture Of
Washington. lfthe Southern troops don't
take it by that time, he will no doubt take
i. himself. He can. He seldom walks
through street without taking the whole
of it.
Two members of JEFF. Dayis's Cabinet
are lying sick in Montgomery, and his ed
itors are lying like the devil everywhere.
Please, South Carolina, don't take any
more snuff just at present. You secession
admirers in Kentucky have sneezed them
selves almost to death.
At present writing, all we know is that
we know nothing.-Courier.
We think you have taken long time to
arrive at very obvious conclusion.
Who would think, from taking look at
Humphrey Marshall, that be has such an
alacrity at jumping?
Let us die-all die.-AHania Intelliqen-

Oh well, die. Begin as soon as you like.
A worthy sister Of Gov. Magofiin has
sent TO the Legislature petition for the
Union signed by eight hundred ladies of
Mercer county. God bless her for her pa
triotism. Would to Heaven she were Gov.
ernor of Kentucky, and that her brother
Beriah were at home in petticoats.
1t is said that Gen. Bragg, in command at
Pensacola, denounces certain acts of Gov.
Pickens. Probably it is safer 10 lombard
Gov. P;ckens than his Excellency's brist-
ling namesake off Pensacola harbor.
The secessionists of Memphis, a few
nights ago, made great parade of buryipg
the old American flag, the Star Spangled
Banner, the glorious meteor of freedom, six
feet beneath the surface of the EARTH
Perhaps however they will yet find that
they planted the old flag rather than buried
it We believe that million ensigns of
liberty will spring from the grave of that
one.
Virginia boasts of being the mother of
Kentucky, but we guess Kenlucky's mother
will never know she's out.
The disunion authorities at Montgomery
profess to have received favorable advices
from Kentucky. Our advice is that they
scrutinize their adyices pretty carefully.
They are getting up in Constantinople

ment of armed Neuters.
The Bowling Green Gazette says that
Mr.. John c. Breckinridge, during his late
speech at that place, was evidently very
much fatigued. We fear that bis hearers
were more so.
Our advice to the soldiers, if they find
that their tents leak, is to pitch them.
