Coop FROM EvIL.-The defeat Of the ULion
army at Manassas has kudled anew the mil
itary spirit of the country, and new regiments
by the score are being rendered to the Pres-
den t. The appointment of Gen. MCCLELLAN
to the command of the Grand Army has in
fused new life into the old regiments, and
everything indicates that when the next for
ward movement takes place it will be attended
with the best results. The greatest activity
prevails in the War Department, and every
thing betokens the most extensive arrange
mentS to Subdue the rebellion.

GREADFUL SUICIDE On Monday morning
last, as the passengers were preparing to take
cars at Boonvle. n. Y for Utica, a gentle
man, who seemed to be about 10 years of age,
in presence of the crowd at the depot, delber.
ately drew razor from his pocket aud cut
his throat, and then quietly stepped forward
to let the blood flow into the road rather than
on the platform. So paralyzed were the pas
sengers at this unexpected horror that before
he was interfered with the wretched man drew
the razor a second time across his throat. Eli.
ther cut appeared to be fatal. He was a
citizen of high responsibility, living in the
neighborhood of Boonville, aud no cause can
be assigned for the act

The Next Battle Ground.

There are several indications which make
it probable that the next scene OF conflict will
be in the vicinity of the mouth of the Ohio
River. For some time past the rebels have
been gathering troops in that Reighborhood,
and it is believed that very considerable force
is now within striking distance Of the Federal
Notifications at Cairo 1t is not unlikely that
concerted attack may be made from the
Missouri side above from the river below, and
from the Ohio on the east Steamboats, have
recently been moving very busily on the Mis-
sissippi between Memphis, Tenn, and New
Madrid in MisseHr, about 6fty miles below
Cairo carrying troops and supplies to the lat
ter place, and large camp of secessionists has
been found in that neighboFhood, and il is re-
ported that another expedition has been form
ing near Paducah, which is at the mouth of
the Tennessee river on the Ohio, sixty miles
above Cairo.
In the Southern part of the State of Mis-
souri, there is considerable rebel force from
that State and from Arkansas, so that it is
evident that they have men enough to make a
formidable army, if they be well armed and
supplied and inasmuch as many of them are
persons Of the most desperate character, there
can be very little doubt that they will make
fierce fight whenever they come in contact with
the Government troops. Such an enterprise
as is here indicated is very probable, for it is
one in which those backwoodsmen would
heartily engage but there is nothing to be
feared. The works at Cairo have been strength
ened, and are prepared for any attack which
may be made upon them by the rude and ir-
regular troops concentrated in that neghbor.
hood. 1t is not probable that the rebels can
bring ordnance ahoat capable of encountering
those in the works at Cairo and it is only by
the use OF heavy aud efficient cannon that any
serious impression could be made.
In all the battles which have yet been fought
the Government troops have had to attack the
rebels on their chosen ground and should
they now have the temerity to change the pro-
gramme, they will undoubtedly suffer severely
for it. The mouth OF the Ohio is a place of
great strategicaI Importance, and it is not un-
likely that the insurgents suppose that by con.
centrating an overwhelming force, and making
a combined attack from different points, they
may succeed in taking it; but they will find the
work more difficult one than they have antic-
pated and, however anxious they may be to
possess it, their wish will not,be gratiGed.
We shall not be surprised at any moment
to hear of lively work in that quarter-Phi
Nelcs.

RB~Gen. Butler is SO much in earnest in his
zeal for the promotion of temperance and dis
cipline in the forces under his command that
he not only staves the whisky barrels and
drives the grogselling suttlers out of camp, but
he insists upon his officers pledging themselves
not to touch the pernicious cup, and by way
of example, banShes it from bis own quarters.
The demoralizing effects of free drinking upon
his soldiers have admonished him that he must
take measures accordingly, and we congratu
late the General that he has gone the right
way about it. We trust his example may be
initiated by other commanding officers.

D9- Father O'ReilIy, chaplain of the Goth
Regiment, states that at the battle of Bulls
Run, while in the act of administering the
last consultations of religion to dying rebel
soldier, aud while clothed in his official robes,
he was fred upon several times by the seces-
sioDists One bullet went through his hat,
two others struck his coat. A party of the
Black Horse Cavalry then rode at him, to
slay him, just as he finished his sacred mis-
sion, and it was with the greatest difficulty
that he escaped. Neither he nor Father

The Southern papers inform US that jeff.
Davis, on his arrival at Richmond, Informed
the public that they had captured provisions
enough to keep an army of fifty thousand men

statement, we find that two days after the bat
tle Beauregard was so hard pressed for pro-
visions that he sent out foragiug parties in
every direction, with orders to taGe by force
what they could not get otherwise. The peo-
pie he says, must feed the army. From this

elapsed since the battle, or else JEFF. Davis

HEAVY OPERATToN OF JUVENILE ELMRA
SCANP.-Somethiug over week ago boy
about IA years of age, by the name of Agnes,
who has come up' in this village, started
out on a peddling expedition. He soon
reached the neighborhood of Jonny Cake HoI-

took three one hundred dollar bills, two hundred

Mr. Gardner did not discover his loss until
next day, when he set out in search of the
thief. He first obtained track of him at
WeIIsburg where he had supplied himself lib
orally with fine raiment" At Emira he
was led to believe the boy had gone south

Lasky Post, he ascertained that such was
the case. Conductor Post had been struck
with the appearance of the boy when on the
train, and asked him where he was going
The boy replied, " To Washington to see the
fighting" Mr.. Post questioned whether he
had money enough to pay the expenses of
such a trip, but the juvenile scamp quieted
bis doubt on that point by exhibiting hand

his hand nearly severed from his wrist by a
ball, which he was endeavoriUg to wiring off
the sinews. AS the soldiers were passing him

were probably the last words spoken by him,
