gsa- The editor of the Louisville Jour
nal said, last week, that he did not know
where Mr. Etheridge was, but advised him,
wherever he might be, not to return home
as the doing so would be attended with
the peril of his life. A day or two before
seeing this friendly warning, we read in the
Trenton Standard, that Mr., Etheridge was
at home, confined to the house by sickness
and in confirmation of the statement, the
editor of the Standard said he had just re-
turned from visit to the gentleman. Mr.
Etheridge, when he saw the warning o.
the journal, must have been very thank
full for his providential escape from peri
which he did not suspect, and which had
no existence outside of the disordered brain
which imagined it,

sD- We have received an interesting
communication from committee Of young
ladies, in this county, and whilst we sym
pathize freely with them in sentiment, and
commend the motives which actuate them,
there are reasons Of public policy which
forbid its Publication. With powerful
foe watching our every movement, and
weighing our every thought, the press can
not be too cautious in suppressing every-I
thing, no matter how trivial, than can serve
as basis, in the North, for misrepresen-I
tation of the social or political relations of,
the South. We all know our own unity
and strength, and none of us doubt our
ability to repel the vandal hordes now ga
thering upon our borders but we should
not forget that merited sarcasm ora poin-
ted jest may be seized upon by our enc
mics and perverted into disclosure Of ac-
tual weakness. We cannot hang too thick
a curtain between the North and South.
not that we have anything to fear from a
knowledge of our real strength, but be-
cause the ignorance of the invader is an
advantage to the invaded IF there are
few amongst us disaffected to the South,
and loyal to the Northern abolition usur-
per, let us, in charity to their friends and
relations, and for the honor of our State,
give as little publicity as possible to thehu-
initiating fact. If woman's scorn can not
arouse within them manly emotions, or in
cite them to manly deeds, let the hand of
pity bury them in an oblivion impenetra-

pSy- Gen. Scott has promised to send a

business OF ours, but we cant help feeling
sad when we reflect upon the want of man

EXPERIMENTS WITH THE MINNIE BALL-Experi
ments conducted for several days by direction OF
the Military and Financial Board, demonstrate that
the Minnie ball, in tho Tennessee rife with the
same charge of powder used with the round ball
has range and force three fold that of the round
ball
rifle carrying 100 balls to the pound, used
with the ordinary sight is at 300 yards most dead
ly weapon projecting the ball with greater accura-
Icy and force than the rihed musket. The rife Of
larger calibre has greater range and force.
The ball should be less in diameter than the round
ball, so as to admit of great rapidity in loading.
The cartridge is not used the ball should be dipped
in a compound Of beeswax and tallow, and patch
should not be used. A rifle thus may be fred 100
times without cleaning.
1t is thought proper to call the attention Of the
people of the State to this fact that they may know
the value Of the weapon which all possess.
Newspapers throughout the State will please
copy.

neA- For the benefit of our Kentucky
exchanges, we state that the Regiment sta
toned at the Fair Grounds will vote in
Camp tomorrow, and that the absence of
the military from the city will give the
Union men a fair show at the polls. No
such precaut'on is deemed necessary for
the accomplishment of that purpose, but the
rules of discipline forbid the granting of
furloughs to an entire Regiment at one
time, and were the contrary course pursu-
ed, it would be proclaimed throughout alb
olitiondom that military force excluded
the Union voters from the ballot-box.

R4~ The telegraphic reports, supervised
by Lincoln's Northern satraps, are SO lit
tie reliable that we dislike to publish them.
The lies of one day are contradicted the
next, only to give place to another batch
of the same scrt, and threats to play the
very devil with the South, o-day, are re-
newcd each morning whilst the intervening
time is marked by no performance. The
accidental discovery of guard at his post,
and the discharge of his musket,, to give the
alarm, is magnifed into battle, and doz-
en- lies are told about the number of the
killed, wounded, and prisoners. OF South
ern news, there is but little afoat for the
reason that the Southern officials are toe
prudent to publish to the enemy theil
movements and intentions We, therefore
once more caution our readers against Civ.
ing credence to the false rumors put il
circulation by our enemies.

that he may hereafter reflect, with pride,
upon the act of that day, and go down to

freedom and the uncompromising foe of

the former, is struggle for freedom, for
