LAST week, in response to a message
from Mayor Rumssy, the Common Council
Of Chicago passed an ordinance calling up
on all those traitors in Chicago who are
not willing to renew their oath OF allie
glance TO the Union and the Constitution
to leave the city and making it the duty
of the Union Defense Committee to ascer-
tain the names Of all such disloyal persons,
aud have them published in the city pa
pers. This is measure which events seem
to be rendering necessity in every city in
the loyal States.

There are hundreds of young men in
the city burning with desire to enter the
volunteer army for the defense of the
Union, who are restrained from doing so
by their mothers. The mother who, in
this great emergency, will restrain her son
from defending his country, forgets the
highest, the noblest duty of woman. A
young man who was three months vol
unteer, said to us yesterday:
81 want to return to the army. know
the country needs my services, and am
ready. But whenever l breach the subject
my mother bursts into tears and begs me
not 10 go. / lore my mother much, but /
love my country, and | must say. in homes
ty, that cannot appreciate the want of
patriotism exhibitedby my mother.n' 81
This young man belongs to one of our
leading families, anintelligent, accomplish
ed, noble young fellow, and though he did
say it, it was discernable, that his mothers
conduct is exciting disgustin his bosom.
He Is losing his d6eetiOnJor her. Atthe re-
cruiting stations, young men frequently
say they would gladly volunteer was it not
TOR the opposition of their parents. All
this is wrong. The true mother, the true
father, would not only yield up their
sons to their country, but be proud oftheir
patriotism and devotion to their country
Our young men should beencouraged rath-
er than restrained, to enlist in this holy
cause. Our revolutionary mothers buckled
the knapsacks on their sons, and dispatch
ed them to the war with fervent prayers
and cheerful hearts. The woman who, at
this day stands between her son and her
country should blush for shame. She
commits a crime against her country which
no maternal feelings can palliate.
Let US have no more of it. Mothers, if
you love your sons aud have their interests
at heart, you will set them a patriotic ex-
ample. You will lead them to the altar
of our beloved country, thank God, that
their noble hearts are ready to defend the
flag of the Union, buckle on their armor,
give them the kiss of love, inspire them
with cheering words. and, commenting
them TO the caro- ofHeaSen, lead them to
the ranks. God will smile upon you and
your sons as you make the sacrifice.

A letter from Monterey, Va, te the At
lnnta (Ga.) COgedsraey. says that of the
$500 Georgia soldiers in that place, under
the command Of General jackson, two die
daily, usually from the typhoid fever. Yet
the Georgiaus, according to the writer of
the letter, do not suffer so much from sick
ness as the Virginia troops. The same
letter states the number of rebel troops in
Western Virginia as Is, 900, and says that
they will soon surround General Rose
Grams.

The New state of Kanewhn


Last week we gave synopsis of the or
liinance for the formation of a new State.
We publish il this week on our first page
entire. We heartily endorse the ordinance,
now that is has passed. The only question
that has ever presented itself to us is
whether it was judicious to pass it at
present or to wait until circumstances were
more favorable. We do not think it was
done any too soon, as twill be some time
before the Legislature can act upon it.
The Convention can take action upon it
when 1t meets, or If circumstances are then
unfayorable, it can postpone it. AT any
rate. when action is taken it will be under
such circumstances as will insure the APP
proyal of Congress. The ordinance first
comes before the people on the fourth
Thursday in October next, on the question
of TFor the new State" or ItAgainst the
new Staten If the majority of the
people within the boundaries mentioned
in the first section of the ordinance, are
in favor of the new State, then the Gov
ernor is TO call a Convention to meet on
the 26th of November next, to prepare and
submit for ratification Constitution, which
is to be voted on by the people on the 4th
Thursday in December next. Thus nearly
five months elapses before il is ready to
come before the General Assembly. Some
seem.to think it is the intention to. rush
the thing through in defiance of all con-
stitutional forms. Such is not the case =
The whole thing will be done under pro-
vision of the Constitution, and before it
comes before Congress all therequirements
will have been complied with. We know
that there will be some objection to it, on
various grounds, by those who wish to de-
feat the measure, and who prefer tyranny
TO freedom-ruin 10 prosperity bnt we
think the majority of the people have their
eyes open, aud will by their votes sustain
the Ordinance. We will from time to time
notice the objections as they are urged, and
also. endeavor to show the people why they
should cast their votes for the measure.

Tun Frankfort (Ky.l Commonwealth, a
thoroughly loyal paper, recommends the
Legislature of Kentucky to meet the
amount of the direct tax appropriated to
her by Congress, by an issue OF State
bonds, rather than, in the present excited
state of the public mind and the stringent
cy of tho times, attempt its collection from
the people by means of tnx-gatherers.-
The suggestion, valuable in itself, has its
greatest merit in the demonstration it
affords of the willingness of a portion of
the Kentucky people tomees the obliga-
lions of good citizenship in prompt and
patriotic manner.

The Reason why Women are EN-
pIoyed TO Search Female Rebels.


tFrom the Providence Journal.l
Treason in petticoats has enjoyed an inn
munity too great and that has endured too.
long. There has been false delicacy in
this regard that the occasion will not justi-
fy. Women who lend themselves to the
purposes of treason and rebellion are en-
titled to no moro consideration than men
who commit the same offence. Even the
petticoat loses all its sanctity when its
corded expansion is spread over the cor
respondence of rebels and public enemies.
1t is not, VIC apprehend, altogether from
motives of delicacy that persons of their
own sex have been employed to search the
women on whose persons reasonable cur
respondence has been found. 1t was
n matter of wise precuution. No man
could ever find the pocket of n wo-
mans dress and my woman might
safely pass through crowd of masculine
detectives with her pockets full of treason.
Any further concealment she would only
make from fear of female vigilance. 1t is
related that a Jealous husband once dis
covered his wife in a clandestine CORES
pondence. He saw the letter pass into her
guilty hands lie watched with suppressed
indignation the manifest delight with
which she perused its pages, written in
fine hand and crossed. He saw her put it
in her pocket. Impatiently he waited till
night, and when she had disrobed and
fallen asleep he stole carefully into her
chamber and carried off the dress. He
searched in vain for the pocket; he turn
ed the silk inside aud outside, he examined
all the folds, sometimes he heard the
rumpling of the paper; but be never
found the pockets aud lie never would
have found it had he searched till morn-
ing. 1t was rash attempt beyond tho
power of man. But any woman would
have put her hand into the faithless pock-
ct with her eyes shut. szH...s 81.

WE dislike to see occasional slurs cast
upon "Brickinridge men" by portion of
the public press. For our part, we have
resolved to avoid, under all circumstances,
any unpleasant allusion to past political
action. In the ranks of our volunteer ar
my we recognize many who supported NF.
Breckinridge az the late election, and do
not think it manly to taunt them with
having voted for man who is now trail
tor. Among our best Generals are gloti-
Gus old Ben Butler and the gallant Ander-
son, both of whom desired the election of
Mr.. Breckipfidge, but who are now willing
to peril their lives in putting down the re-
bellion which no seeks to foster. The first
gun fired in defense OF the Union on the
soil Of Virginia was commanded by Capt.
Kenuey, who supported Mr. Breckenridge
for President. Capt. Carlia, now in Mis-
souri, with u battery of artillery, voted the
same ticket. Theirs is not the only party
that has been cursed with traitors, as the
conduct of Stephens, Sanders, vallandig-
ham and schnable will illustrate. But
the past political friends of these men are
not responsible for their present action,
and it is unjust to twit them of it. Let US
forget what party we have belonged to,
and only remember that we are loyal to
the Government.

morning. They marched from there about

Worthington, ON the West Pork River, in
the neighborhoOd OF which place, and be-
tween It aud Fighters, the secession force
was said to be posted.
They reached the risinity of worthing-
ton about noon, having heard along tho
road the most extravagaut reports of the
enemy's numbers. Some estimated them
at four or 1--WE hundred, some thousand,
including four companies of cavalry; they
were even by one put as high as
fIteen hundred. About six miles out from
Warrington intelligence was received that
Capt. Crossman had attacked them with
two companies, and had been repulsed. So
upon the whole, things looked as If there
would really be a fight, and all hands were
eager for it.
Arrived at the river, about a milo above

ON a distant hill, on the opposite side
which proved, however, afterward to be

been the pride of The owner and the envy

with nothing left standing but the dis
