colleagues, as We were leaving, the secre-
tary called me back and exhibited a letter
SO folded that neither the name nor date was
visible, saying, here is letter from an Off
Ger in the army, asking authority to raise
and arm a regiment of negroes for the mill
tary service of the United States. l have
called YOU back to ask you what answer l
ought to give him. Ireplied Mr. seeIe-
tary, if YOU will allow me to dictate your an
swer, it will be no; and woald make that
no as emphatic as the English language
would enable me to make it. He then re-
marked that he had done more than that ;
he had not only refused, but had ordered the
arrest of the officer asking the authority
"No, sill" Mr. Mallory went on TO say, "af
ter this conversation with the secretary of
war, in the presence of two of my colleagues.
who know concur in my recollection of the
matter, thought l had reason to believe
that my colleague was mistaken in suppos-
ing and assuming that the secretary of war
approved and sanctioned the arming of ne
groes."
This places the "modern Carnot" in rather
an unenviable position, and this is the ini-
tial movement in showing that in his thirst
for political power he has indulged in the
luxury of two sets of opinions, in order to
win the favor of gentlemen from different
sections. allow happy could be with eth
er, were t'other dear charmer away."-"Per-
ly" an Boston Journal.

INFLrESCE OF WOMEN IN SECEs>IA.--I
heard the Hon Leslie Coombs say that in his
opinion no class had injured Kentucky in
this crisis so much as lis young women. The
truth the South over, unquestionably. The
females of down there were early possessed
with the seven devils of secession. They
were not rebels from argument. Women DO
not reason. Tley leap ike cat to a cono.u-
sion, and stay Ike house a-fire when they
get 20 il. Secession went in among the
daughters of the South just as contagious
disease would, or new style of bonnet. 1t
wasn't urged into them, or argued into them,
or ilattered into them. They took it. They
liked it. 1t made the amiable angry, the
sweet sour, the attractive repulsiye, the hand
some ugly as sin.
Ii made havoc of all female charms and
graces. 1t muGdled the female moral sense
and sense of honor. 1t led the female feet
into the ways and attitudes of 1.-The women OF
the town, plying their avocations.' There
has been no parallel in the whole worlds his
tory of this mysterious, singular, extraordina-
~ female phenomenon in the Southern States
Of America. All the sweeihearts and sweet
sixieens and half-grown girls of 4 town have
sunk their little jeaiousies and rivalries, and
combined TO deride, shame, hiss and hoot in
to the army every pair of pantaloons of the
place. Ind Mey do d. They have done it.
Upon my honor believe that if the whole OF
womandom should argue among themselves
as touching the one thing of compelling the
men to go without their shoes and stockings
it would be done. You can't answer or argue
with woman. She says: "Why. look at my
SEX" There is but one weapon left US il
combat with these sheeeSh: their own-in
suit. Gen Butler was right in using if.
If | had space | could furnish several in
stances that illustrate the assertions that
have made. Giddy, heartless girls, with no
an idea above an oyster, have recruited tn,
ranks of Beauregard by their relentless rail
lery.
James sends up his card to Sarah. Saral

How NERMoNTERS FIGHT.-Gen Brooks is

How NERMoNTERs FIGIIT.-Gen Brooks is
generally rumored to be seriously wounded.
His brigade of Vermonters behaved like vet
Grams in the several engagements between
Gaines Hill and White Oak Swamp. The
same indomitable pluck that iustigated the
charge across the dam at Warwick creek,
marked their course in the fight of Golding's
Farm, Savage's and White Oaks. The loss
of this brigade is, perhaps, less than that of
any of the brigades of Smiths division.-Let-
ter from the Peninsula.

SOciabIe Pickets.

Since the shooting of pickets in front Of
Richmond has been stopped by mutual con-
sent,the soldiers on guard have become quite
soclable, often exchanging newspapers and
oantering each other. The New York
Worlds correspondent relates the following
incidents:
Funny things occur on picket near Me-
chanlcsville. A day or two ago, just at the
breakfast hour, when the aroma of good cof-
fee is doubly delicious, our pickets were ac-
costed by voice from the rebel side, only a
few rods distant, with, "Hallo, there w "Hal-
10 yourself" "What you doing over there ?"
shaking some coffee. Have some?" "Will
you let me come over?" "Yes." "Will YOU
let me come back ?" "Yes ?" "Honor
bright:e" "Yes." And over he came. His
coffee drank, he smacked his lips, and said :
"Well, that's very nice. We don't get any
of that over our side" Then casting his eye
around, scrutinizing the neat appearance of
our men, he continued: "Well, you look We
ry comfortable. All of you live 500" "Yes. :"
"Well, | like the looks Of things here. be-
lieve won't 60 back" And he didn't.
Exchanges of papers have been frequent,
and sometimes they meet half way and have
sit-down chat on stump or rail. A cou-
pie met in this manner yesterday. "Ain't
you tired of this war? ~ says our man. "Yes,
and l wish l was out of tits all humbug,'
replies the rebel. "lf they'd leave it to you
and me- continued our man, "we'd settle ii
without any more fighting, wouldn't we ?"-
ayes, sir" said the rebel, with emphasis
And so they would. If left for the pickets
to settle, the whole thing would be soon and
amicably arranged, and that, too, on the ba
sis of ''things as they were."

Arsenical Paper Hanginss.

A surgeon, writing to one of the daily pa
pers upon arsenical green paper hangings,
calls attention to the following facts Il. OF
four children who died, every one had been
healthy until the green paper was first placed
on the walls at Christmas last. 9. The ia
ther, mother, and all the children then began
TO sicken. The symptoms were smarting of
the eyes, irritation of the nostrils, headache
lover the brows in particularly soreness Of
the mouth and throat, with occasional sharp
pains over the bowels, constant rubbing of
the upper lip, and picking of the mouth. 8.
The antiseptic properties of arsenic are well
known. Seven days after death the body of
the child was undecomposed. There was
neither effiuvium nor discoloration. t. The
undertaken noticed that all the three preced.
ing children, after being four days dead,were
IN like condition. After the green paper
was removed, all the symptoms ceased in the
remaining occupants. He attributes much
battling disease to the unsuspected effects o.
arsenical papers.-English paper.

principles. begin to hesitate as to the proprie-
ty of longer endorsing him. They have been
led to believe that he had encouraged Gen
Hunter in the organization of the First reg
iment Of South Carolina Volunteers" but
they have been rather staggered by a state
ment from the Hon Mr. Mallory of Ken
tucky, In the house of representatives, that
he believed the action of Gen Hunter would
bring down upon him the censure o. the sec
retary of war. This was based upon the fol-
lowing explicit statement which those New
England papers so devoted to Mr. Stanton
should copy

bell-weather of the reb .lion, the first two let

he was incarcerated for numbering his uncle

ticket was the meanest ticket he ever saw.

fairly elected, it was the duty of every patriot
and true man to bow TO the will of the peo-
pie. Well, be went on the stage, and the FOL
