such shallow tricks, however, he tells the reb-
els that 1t was not Mr.. Lincoln and his friends
who refused all compromise, but the Secess;on
eaaers' and that these latter could have car.

persistentiy determined to break ND the Gov

kIDKEApPINa IN CAIRo.--A Cairo corespon-
dent of the Chicago Tribune, writing under
date of the Goth instant, says:
sit seems that there is in Cairo an organized
band of unprincipled scoundrels who had for
some time before the Inauguration of the war
been engaged in the nefarious buiness of kid
mapping negroes whom chance OF business
brought TO Cairo, and running them off to
Kentucky and Tennessee and selling them in
to Slavery. AT the head of this gang are sons
of persons of high social position, resident in
this city and elsewhere in Egypt. When Capt
TURNKEY of the Quartermasters Department,
came to Cairo, he found half dozen inteli-
gent contrabands, whom he fed, clothed, and
employed as laborers in his Department
Some time yesterday man representing him
self as resident of Chicago, endeavored to
induce them to go with him, telling them that
they were free, and offered $50 month for
their services They refused the iattering
offer, and an attempt was made by mob,
evidently controlled by the parties Of standing
above alluded to, to take possession of them.
This plan failed, and the negroes were placed
in jail for safe keeping. Tomorrow the mat
ter will be inquired into by the Provost-Msr-
shall, and the guilty punished"

glorious achievements. At Bull Run the South
Carolina troops were the first to run, whilst
the Federals were in the tide of their first sue

they scampered like sheep at the approach of
the Federal fleet. And this is the whole record
OF the Palmetto chiyalry in the secession war.
Amongst the killed and wounded rebels in the
