d Daring Exploit.

Among the many instances where the
bravery Of our officers and men have shown
conspicuous. the one we are about to re-
late is almost unequalled:
Captain Spencer, aid to Gen. Wool, re-
ceiFed information from two ladies who
went fron Norfolk to Fortress Monroe
with a flag of truce, that near midnight q
six-oared boat was to leave Norfolk for
Richmond with money for the payment Of
the rebel soldiers. lie requested permits
sion of Major General Wool to attempt
thcir capture, and was told not to place
too much confidence in the information re-
ceived. Nevertheless. permission was CIV

coming Of the cncmy's boat. He had pre-
viously given direction to his men to pull
directly for the boat. and on the moment
Of striking, TO back water" instantly
About midnight the boat was heard ap-
preaching. and taking his station in the
bows, with a nino-inch shell in his hands,
he gave the order to give way" The
moment his bows struck the rebel boat, he
threw the shell into the middle Of it, and
was himself drawn back, luckily receiving
no injury from the explosion. Not so the

Tender Mercies Of the Rebels.

From an article in the Louisville jour
nal, we extract the following account of the
the treatment of a loyal citizen br the reb-
els under Gen. Buckner. The journal
says:
A large amount Of property owned and
held in trust by Mr.. Joseph Quigley, at
Cave City, was thus converted to the use
of the arny. The hotel there was confs-
Gated and occupied as an army hospital.
and other property there has been appro-
priatcd by the rebel army, without as much
as 4 pretense of remuneration to the owners.
A few days ago, Mr.. Quigley made ap-
plication to the rebel authorities for j mem
orandum, or some other legal evidence that
the property entrusted to him had been
thus appropriated, but such evidence was
withheld, and be treated to insult. Mr..
Quigley expressed himself rather warmly
upon the subject, insisting upon being placed
in possession Of some written evidence that
he had been deprived of his property, when
he was arrested and thrown into prison,
through the villainy and trsachery of Gel.
I. c. HinIman, of Arkansas. The prison
into which Mr.. Quigley was thrown was Of
the most loathsome character imaginable,
and be, q highly respectable citizen. was
thus held for several days without the loast
proyOcation. A Col. Allison, of Tennessee.
finally interfered, and through the threats
of Withdrawing his regiment from Kentucky
and offering himself as a hostage for Mr..
Quisley, with great difficulty procured his
release. Mr.. Quigley, who is a brother of
Mr.. Quigley, the banker, is now in this
city.
Mr. Quigley was formerly a citizen of
Warren, and will be remembered BY many
Of the older citizens. Two Of his sisters,
Miss Mary euiglcy aul Mrs. Daniel Gil
bert, still reside here. What intensifes
the meapness Of the rebels in this case is
the fact that Mr.. Quigl,y is badly crippled
By rheumatism ard is now an old man.

WARREN, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 81.
Vie RebeIlion-Past and Present.

The change which has taken place in
the aspect of the southern rebellion within
the last few weeks, is patent to the most
careless observer. Not that the real change
in the actual status of affairs has all been
made within that time, for the causes have
been steadily operating since Its first com
mencement; it is only that the effects are
more apparent.
When the first gun was fred at Fort
Sumpter, the whole plan of the war had
been mapped out by the leaders of the re-
belliOn through all the slave States, re-
sistsnce to the federal authority was fully
organized; all the material fera great war
had been collected; every preparation on
their part wa so complete that a great
army could be called into existence in a
week; not only was the government found
totally u~npTepared, but it had been system
atically stripped of the few arms and mu-
nitions Of war it possessed, by t~reacherous
government officials, and all of the stolen
war materials gone to swell the stock Of
the rebels. With three-fold greater nun
Der Of organized volunteers in training than
had the loyal states; with more than hall
Of the officers of the regular army to com.
mand them, and with immense advantage
in position and in arms of all kinds, the
first prestige was all in their favor, and
tic, results of the first six months of wal
seemed mostly to follow in the same track.
This was their time of triumph. Du.
ring this period the nerth has been patient
ly gathering together its resources, arms
ships, and all the material for an immenst
army and navy, effectively and thoroughly
training and cquipping both, and now, q
last sthe winter of our discomfort is past
and Ger time Of tri2mph draws near. To
day We have an army greater than the
can bring into the field, and our resources
have scarcely been drawn upon; it is bet
ter equipped, better trained, and composed
of better men than theirs, while our nav
is fully propOrtioned to the army. Tb'
war has reached another stage, and POr

QUAKER LoYALTY-A FRIENDS" IN

which would sstonish George Fox. 1t is
said that when sone Committees we're 60
ing the rounds in their neigbborhoOd to get
blankets, &c, for cur soldiers. they came
to a Quaker household, where the first
thing that arrested their eyes was a tRbls
loaded with blankets and quilts. The
Committee modestly preferred their request,
and a placii lady replied: Friend, we
cannot assist thee in the work of blosd-shcd,
even 60 far as to help those engaged in in;
but there are svms tAiass CD that table,
and if thee chooses to steal then, 1t is
squslly against Our principle to use violence
TO prevent thee!" Convinced that the ar
ticles were very carefully placed where they
could be stolen, the Committee took the
Sin upon their shoulders and left amid the
most explosive laughter and the Quaker
escs5 assembled, in which they joined.
