General Order No. o.
The following general order is issued,
to be enforced by military commanders
in the District Of Kentucky:
No person hostile in opinion TO the
government aud desiring its overthrow
will be allowed 10 stand for office in the
District Of Kentucky. The attempt Of
such person to stand for office will be
regarded as in itself sufficient evidence
Of his reasonable intent to warrant his
arrest lie who desires the overthrow OF
the government can seek office under the
government only to promote its over
throw. In seeking office he becomes an
active traitor, If he has never become one
otherwise, and is liable both in reason
and Ia law 20 be treated accordingly.
All persons of this description who per-
sist in offering themselves aa candidates
for office will be arrested and SAINT to
these Headquarters.

The Three Hundred Thousand Vol
unteers for the Federal Army will be
raised far sooner than was anticipated,
by the most hopeful, 1T is said. What a
pity the President did not call for six
hundred thousand, We ought to have
from $4,000 to 100000 in every rebel
State; enough to grind the rebels to i'm
palpable powder 1t would save time,
men, and money; three very valuable
things. With this force and 100000 Of
the slaves of rebels to work for as, make
our entrenchments build our bridges
and railroads, cook for us, and bring us
information, we could wind up this
domnablc rebellion as quick as a certain
locality could scoreh feather, We have
the power, and why not use it? Why
the very rebels laugh at US in their very
sleeves as a set of imbeciles, on account of
our display Of Constitutional scruples.

NFW ORLEANS, July 10, 1862, :
FThs New Judge or the u. 5. supreme
court.

Samuel L. Miller, Of Iowa, confirmed
last night as Associate Justice Of the
Supreme Court, was recommended for the
appointment by 80 Senator's and a large
number Of Representatives. His circuit
comprises all the States on the other side
Of the Mississippi, north Of Arkansas.
The Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska,
and Colorado delegations here, and Frank
Blair, Of Missouri, were among those who
fayord his appointment. The other Mis-
sourians here preferred Judge Brodhead,
of that State. Judge Miller is a Ken
tuckian by birth. He fought the battle
Of emancipation with Cassius NJ. Clay
and is a thorough Republican. He is
forty-six years Of age, reputed the best
lawyer in his State, and possesses great
physical yigor. He was formerly the
law partner Of Col. Rankin, Of Keokuk,
now commanding a regiment from Iowa.
No appointment was made in the other
new circuit comprising the States Of IL
linois, Wisconsin and Michigan. This
j regarded as virtually the defeat Of Sem
ator Brownine's aspirations 10 a seat on
the bench. No appointment can now be
made until the next session.

We thank our contemporary Of the
Tazewell Qll.) Republican, for the follow
ing very complimentary notice, When
we put down the rebellion, it will be
time enough to attend to the discussion
Of the 'minor political issue" of which
the Republican speaks, but to turn aside
now from the great work of saving the
Republic, to debate some point which is
of necessity q mere abstraction at pres
ent, would be unwise and unpatriotic.
For the present, we are the friend and
fellow soldier of every man, Protestant,
Catholic, Mahommedan, Mormon or Inf
del, Wing, Democrat, Republican, or
American, who is fighting against the
rebellion.

We publish to-day, in another column,
the prospectus of the Nashville UNION.
The UNION is large, well printed pa
per, and ably edited by S. c. Mercer,
who, as be himself says, Opposed the
election of President Lincoln, and voted
against him, and regretted his election, y
"But" he continues, "there is no posi-
bic nucleus around which we can rally
and fight for the Union, the constitution
and the supremacy of the laws, except
the Administration of President Lin
coin" Although the paper may differ
with us on some minor political issue
yet we have no hesitancy in pronouncing
IL staunch Union paper, fully wide
awake TO all the great issues of the day
| We have seen more sound and PHILOSOPHY
ical editorial in the UNION, than in any
other paper either North or South. II
contains the latest and most reliable
news up to the date of issue.
The paper should be supported, by SO
doing, we not only give aid and comfort
TO the publishers, but give encourage
ment to q good cause, that of restoring
peace to Tennessee, and winning back
the misguided sons of the South to the
old Union of free and Independent pso-
pie, and the peaceful avocations of life.

CORN! CORN! CORN,

Now is the time to prepare for the largest corn
crop that ever grew on Southern SOIL With the
last years cotton crop in the gnhouses and sheds,
and the certainty that moderate crop of the great
staple" for this yecr will be amply sufficient to sup
ply all demands, it is the part of wisdom for our
planters ami farmers to spread themselves for the
biggest corn and provision crop ever made in this
country. Therefore, let not a moment be lost Now
is the time to keep the plows steadily running turn
ing up the stiff clay lands TO the sun and rain and
air-burying under all grass. weeds, and other vege-
table misunderstanding the wet soil up into broad
"lands," with deep and wide water firrow to
carry oft the surplus moisture, so that your ground
will be dry for carly planting. And if you avoid
drought-the great enemy Of corn--be sure and
plough deep; and also lay of your drills so that
you can plant deep; that is so deep that when the
tiny green shoots first break through the wide drill
they may be two Or three inches below the surface
of the l,iddles. To plant thus you mast open deep
and wide drills, and throw the earth back 50 as not
to ill the furrow within two or three inches. Use
all the manure you can get; but remember that
deep ploughing without manure is better than
shallow scratching with ever So much, in scorch-
ing climate.
Corn makes bread, and bacon and poultry, and
beef, and fat horses and mules. 1t is the "all in
al-the staff of life for the Soulful will feed our
armies and help vanquish our foes 1t is the great
food crop of this continent and of the greatest
blessings of the earth therefore prepare now TO
cover larger surface than ever before; to plant
and cultivate in better style, and, with Gods
blessing, to harvest large crop.-.Southern t1I-

"The institution of military academy is also re.
