POISONED MIME BALLs.-There is the most
positive evidence that poisoned Mimic balls are
used in the rebel army, and evidence is afforded
that they are manuiac tnred in the North. Last
week tive members Of the Indiana regiment,
northwest OF the Chain Bridge, were out scout
ing. and discovered a party of about seventy
I'VE reDel troops. Our men concealed them
selves in the bushes lay down, and fired togetb-
er. They killed one Of the enemy ; the other
fed, leaving one, who hung over his dying com
rade, probably relative. until be was captured.
La his possession were discovered a number oi
Mimic balls, each Of which had deposit OF ar
senic ia 1t, covered with tallow. lie WAS asked
what the object was in using those balls he
explained that the contents We're poisol; ihat
they bad not many Of them yet. and were only
used by those sent out on picket or scouting
duty. He said they came from the North
they had not received many yet, but were prom
sed large supply.
In connection with this, our informant, a very
reliable brigade surgeon, says that man was
shot IL the Fourteenth Massac busetts regiment.

after the ball entered his flesh, swelled up, and
the patient died. The case was minuieiy de-

lPUBIIC REsoIUuoN-No. S.
WHAT GEN. FREMONT DESIGNED.

In commenting upon the defeat OF the Federal
forces at Lexington, the Chicago Tribune makes
the following interesting statement wich may aid
in forming just opinion upon the subject:
1.-The question most frequently asked on our
streets is-"Why was it that Col Muiiigan and
his brave Irishmen were left at Lexington with
barely $500 men to withstand the onslaught ui
the $1,000 rebels led by PRICE," We do NOT
undertake to give all the reasons for the situa-
ton, but We are informed. on the best authority
that the case admits of, that it was Gen. Ere
mont's plan to let Price work his way up to
Lexington unmOlested, and then send "A heavy
column out from Jefferson City to Se,iaa to
march upon bis rear, while Gen. Pope's army
should march simultaneously from the North,
and surround and capture, or destroy the whole
rebel force. On Saturday last Gen. Fremont re.
ceved peremptOry order from Washington for
five regiments of well armed and disciplined
troops. This order was promptly filed, not with
the worst but the very best regiments within
reach. The raw troops ut Benton Barracks, who
never had musket in their hands until they
went to st. Louis, could not Of course be des
patched TO Washington or Sedaa. This, W.
assume, accounts in some measure for the inter
ruption OF Gen. Fremont's plan to send column
overland to attack Price in the rear. His only
recourse was to send rcnforcements to Colone
Mulgap by water, and run the risk Of the lanC
batteries planted by the rebels at Glasgow anC
elsewhere to command the channel
at may be mentioned here that the Hon
Schuyler COlfax, in the article which We pub
lished yesterday from the South Bend Register
remarks that the force at Gen. Fremont's dispo
sal has been greatly over-estimated by rumo
from the beginning"

The DESTINY OF AMERICA The second of a
series of letters from the United States, attIib.
uted to Prince Napoleon, now being published
in the Paris Opiniono Nationale, contains the
following:
~ do not doubt that the present crisis, which
exposes the wounds of Government, its impo-
tency, its incapscity, ard its thorough unpopu.
larity, will be the beginning of a sanitary regen-
erative reaction. do not pretend to predict
the new political form under which America will
pursue the career of her destinies; but this peo-
pie has vitality too great, practical sense too
powerful, resources too vast for US to fear that
she will not prefit wisely from the experiences
of the past and that, like the extinct races, she
will not be immovabe in her errors, nor, to
avoid them, throw herself into the opposite ex
treme.
"The crisis will pass; the elements of vitality
which America bears within her will give be,
strength to surmount it. Soon you will see thi:
country greater, more full OF future, than ever.

ten letter to Marshal Valiant on the present
theories Of the solar system. He concludes
that there are three rings Of matter revolving
around the Sun; one between the Sun and Mer
curry, the second near the Earth, including me
teoric stones and shooting stars, and the third
between Mars and Jupiter, consisting Of small
planets. The ring of asteroids between the Sun
and Mercury has total mass about equal to
that of Mercury. The ring which supplies our
aerolites and shooting stars has total mass Of
not more than . tenth part of the Earth.
The total mass Of the small planets between

ISYALLiBLK Cure FOR DYsExrERY- Doctor
Page, of Washington, communicates to the Re-
pnbtiean Of that city the following simple remc-
dy, long known in family practice. and which
was recently tried in the camp Of the New York
22d regiment, where there we're from eighty to
one hundred cases daily, and With rapid cures in
every case:

TOUCHING INCIDENr.-A prominent citizen of
Versailles, who recently visited Camp Robinson,
in Garrard county, remained on the ground until
the hour of retiring for the night. Everything
being calm and quiet, he concluded to walk
around and see and hear what he could. His
ear soon caught the voice Of prayer, and upon
nearer approach, he found that it proceeded
from tent occupied by Tennesseeans. Those
pious but prosecuted men we're engaged in sol.
emn prayer to the Almighty, invoking His kind
care and protection of their wives and little ones
left behind them in their once happy homes.
Although not much given to the melting mood,
our worthy friend could not restrain the tear of
sympathy. He felt grateful that he WAS a citi.
zen of Kentucky, and he felt his soul strength
ened to battle for her freedom to the last e1.

why Is il So.

THIS Is THE REAsos-The following
paragraph We have observed in the ccl-
umns OF almost every newspaper in this
State, and @e would have answered it be-
fore had it not been for the fact that We
desired to see if any of our cotemporaiies
in the fulness ofther philosophical knawl-
edge could demonstrate the following
proposition
"Fasten nail or key to a string and
suspend it from your thumb and finger.
and the nail will oscillate like pendulum.
Let some one place his open hand under
the rail, and it will change to circular
molten Then let a third person put his
hand upon your shoulder. and the nail
becomes in moment stationary"
