The Extra Session.

The Legislature are getting along with tho

a good degree Of unaminity. The proceed

ANDY JOHNSON is not dead yet. He COM
mences his speeches in Tennessee by inviting
those disposed to fight, to have the fighting
come off before the speaking:
The style ofMr. Johnson's canvassing may
be judged Of from the commencement of his
speech at Cleveland, Tennessee, where threats
against him had been largely INDUCED in.
He told the crowd that he "did not come
here to be shot but to shoot !" that If there
was to be fight, he and his friends were
ready for it, and that he preferred to finish
up the fighting before making his speech
Nobody coming forward to fight, the intripid
Senator proceeded to speak, and by the time
he had done nineteen twentieths of the al-
dience were with him. He told them among
other things that "Jeif Davis and the Cover
nor Of the State ought to be hanged, and
would be hanged, and that at not far dist
ant period, when the judicial power of the
Government could be brought to bear upon
them"

Col. Curtis and the War.

There is no Union man in the country
rendering more efficient services to the coun-
try in this its hour of extreme peril, than
our brave and patriotic Representative, Hon.
S. r. Curtis. We elected him to make laws,
knowing that he was master workman at
that business; but it turns out that he is as
able defender of laws as a maker thereof.
Our readers have all read the account of the
march of the Seventh New York Regiment
through Maryland, with Col Curtis at their
head, and sharing all their fatigues and dan
gers. But he was not idle in Waslin ston.

A most interesting and eloquent episode
occurred on Sunday at Trinity Church. The
rector, Rev. DR.. Butler, began his sermon
with the admonition that the discourse he
was about to deliver had been preached by
himself here twelve years ago, and he should
repeat It rer5atiha. 1t was lusid and effec.
tive argument to prove that the popular idea
Of government among us is held in a too
loose and secular estimation, while the fact
is, that, however carelessly we may regard it,
as merely contract with ministerial agents
ard however inadequate our respect for law
and constituted authorities, it is Divine in
stitution. as
The pcroration was very powerful Said
the reverend gentleman: "Twelve years ago
after had finished this discourse, met the
lamented Daniel Webster just outside the
church. lie said to me, Sir, you are right:
it is the true doctrine In this view, my
brethren, see in the awakened strength Of
the Government the glittering sword of AL,
mighty vengeance suspended over its enc
mics. In this viow alone do descry the
only hope for my glorious, my beloved coun-
try" and, at these words, the tears stream
ing dow, over the preachers face, in voice
checked with inexpressible emotion, he raised
his eyes towards Heaven, and, hesitating to
receive utterance, he concluded in faltering,
though articulate tones, "Esto perpetual"
The effect was electrical-every eye in the
house was suffused with tears, and the quiet
of the sanctuary was broken only by sobs
and weeping.
The church was filled in every part, and a
large proportion were volunteers, officers and
privates, of the various regiments now in
the city. In the gallery a. the right, beneath
the lofty and shadowy gothic arches. were

Currency.

Stumptail or Secession currency has come
to its death in Chicago, and is rapidly disap-
pearing from sight, and what is called hard
pan is reached at last. That is, good cur.
rency, gold or specie paying notes are
rapidly filling up the vacuum. In fact pro.
duce cannot be bought for anything else, and
when people demand good currency unani
mously, they will always get it. We are
sorry to see that Missouri money is so poor
as to 60 at IA t, Is per cent discount for
Eastern Exchange. Look out. 1t will soon
go by the board, at such rates.-Gate City,

Farmers and the Cmrre,,cv,

Are Farmers aware that they have it en-
tirely in their power to drive out the depre-
ciated currency with which we are now
cursed /? They, and they alone, can deliver
the country from thiseviI. Let them refuse
all Illinois and Wisconsin paper for their
cattle, hogs and produce, and they can get
good money, for it is good money, eastern
funds, which is sent out here to buy our
predictions, and which the holders sell for
10 to ID per cent for the western currency
with which to- pay the Farmers. Dealers
will continue to do this just so long as they
can make use of such funds. When they
find they can no longer use them, they will
be compelled to pay out their Eastern, good
funds, which will surely drive cut dopre
ciated and give us sound currency in its
place Will Farmers look to this matter
and insist upon par funds, Ohio, Indiana,
iowa., or specie. The remedy is with them.

RilIy WILSON,. Zouayes,

The Regiment of Ronshs raised by Billy
Wilson, In New York, is composed of the
hardest of New York's humanity. A letter
from New Yorker, received in thir city,
Thursday, contains the following incident,
which is sufficiently illustrative of their status
Yesterday, Methodist clergyman went
down to Statan Island to exhort them. Billy
Wilson drew his men up, and called "atten,
tention ~
The Parson then gave them very edify
ing and appropriate discourse, to which, in
obedience to the Coloners commands, they
listened attentively. When the Parson had
finished, Billy gave his boys" a short talk,
somewhat in this wise "Boys, want you
to remember what the Minister has told you
1t is all for your good take his advice, for
there is no knowing but what in less than
six months every DID Of you will be
in hell !" Here voice from the ranks called
out 'Threc cheers for hell r and they were

The Parson, astonished and angry, asked
what it meant "Oh," says Billy, "the boys

As vonce walked by dismal swamp.
There sot an old Cove in the dark and damp,
And at everybody as passed that road
A stick or a stone this Old Cove throweo,
And venever he flung lis stick or his stone,
He'd set up song of "Let me alone
"Let me alone, for loves to shy
These bits of things at the passers by
Let me alone, for I've got your tin Fa
And lots of other traps snugly ih-- "
Let me alone, I'm riggin' boat

In week or so expects TO come
And turn you out of your ouse and ONE
I'm quiet Old Cove. says he, With groan
All axes is-Let me Alone"
just then came along on the selfsame way
Another Old Cove, and began for to say
"Let YOU alone That's comm II strong -
You've be, let aIone--a darned sight TOO long
OF all the SARGE that ever heerd!
Put down that stick you may wen iook sAesred,l

1900 Miles of Patriotism.

A person travelling now, however hurried
his journey or urgent his business, cannot
fail TO be Impressed with the evidences ev-
crywhere witnessed Of the giant preparations
going on for the war. Officers in uniform
and soldiers in and out of uniform are met
within the cars and at almost all the stations,
while not unfrequently military companies
are fellow passengers ON the same train
The war is the universal and all-absoi binc
topic Of conversation, from the Mississippi to
the Granite Hills, as we have had oppo,tu-
nifty to know during the past two weeks.
We travelled from the junction to Gales
burg with company from Oquawka, and
witnessed their parting with their friends, in
attendance in great numbers at the station.
At Detroit we saw the First Michigan Regi-
ment. At Albany large force of New York
troops were in camp. At Concord, the First
New Hampshire Regiment were also in camp
At Boston was large force, including a
company from Plymouth Rock. In compa.
ny with 700 others, they embarked the day
we were there for Fort Monroe. At the
Cha,lcstown Navy Yard, into which, with
much difficulty, we obtained admission, a
busy scene presented itself. Several war
vessels were in process of construction, ma
king the welkin ring with the music of a
thousand hammers. A war steamer was
j1st taking its crew and marines aboard pre-
paratory to an early depart, re. We counted
big guns, shot and shells until we were tired
The guns, Dahlgrcen, we believe, were some
Is feet long and big in proportion. New
York was swarming with troops regi
ment occupied barracks in the Park, and they
were seen marching down Broadway in al
most constant stream. TheBattcry grounds
were a so white with tents.
Who says that the old flag viii not be sus,
tanned? Let him traverse the 1900 miles,
separating the west from the east, through
the length of the glorious north, and he will
be of a different opinion. Everywhere, from
almost every building, the starry banner is
waving in the free air, and everywhere
throngins mu.titudes of people will be found
breathing the same stern determination, to
: defend that flag to the last dollar of treasure
and the last drop Of blood. This is the uni
versal sentiment and determination among
all classes and with every party, from one
extreme of the country to the other. 100000
are now in the field, and 100000 more are
ready to follow in their footsteps when the
necessity calls for them.

British Government has issued a proclama-
