a short time. Marcus Aureius, kept school
for a while in Louisville, Kentucky, and fail
ing in health, he induced his brother to take
his place, both of whom died there after sue
cessfully teaching few years.
Thus Mrs. Holmes was left to close her use
full life in solitude, which she did in faith and
patience She undoubtedly went through
with many troubles in mind. 1t is hardly
possible it should have been otherwise. For
the last six years she was in feeble health,
hardly able to 90 out of doors. Yet she was
never known to complain. She found it ne
cessary to have somebody all the time with
her. She lived in Leicester beloved and re-
spected. But within the last year and a half
of her life, she went to live in Boston with her
elder and only sister, and her sisters daugh-
ter. She was quite sick the last two or three
weeks before she died. She looked upon
death with composure, and talked upon the
subject with great calmneSs and submission.
There were several respectable gentlemen Of
means in Boston, who were acquainted with
her in Athol, who remembered her with plea
sure, were attentive to her wants, and did for
her some acts of signal kindness. These she
often spoke of with feelings of thankfulness
and deep gratitude. She died in peace.
Her remains were carried to Leicester,
where the funeral was held in the First Con-
gregational Church, and appropriate remarks
were made by Rev. DIR. Nelson, her minister.

CITY AND COUNTY.

THE NEW QUoTA.-The last call of the
president for three hundred thousand nine
months men will demand about two regiments
and a half from Worcester county; and about
four hundred men from this city. If Worces-
ter men do their duty promptly, the quota Tor
this city may be filed before the first of Sep
tember when the draft will be made if 1t has
not been obyiated by volunteering. But the
volunteers must not hang back. The work
must be speedy. The militia companies COM
posing the Third Battalion Rifles, all held
meetings on Saturday night to take measures
to fill up their organizations and be ready to
go into camp. They voted unanimously to
90 to the war as nine months militia. The
Infantry hold an adjourned meeting this
evening, to choose first lieutenant, to fill
vacancy. There not being full meeting Of
the Emmett Guards an adjourned meeting will
be held tomorrow evening, when no doubt
the same unanimity of sentiment will prevail.
In response to a stirring call by t. w. Hig-
gibson, there was a rally at Sons of Temper
ance Hall Saturday night, and the meeting
was organized with the appointment of mayor
Aldrich as chairman and John S. Baldwin as
secretary. Mr.. Higginson made spirited
and earnest speech, and was followed by Rev.
Mr.. Richardson. The settees were then re-
moved and the young men who had signed
the enrolment paper were drilled by Mr..
Higginson. There will be a meeting of all
who are interested to join this company, at
the hall on Foster street, at halfpast eight,
tonight. Young men, don't wait to be draft

woRCE S TER:
MONDAY, AUGUST Is. 1909.

MAGoFFIN, THE PRESENT GOVERNOR OF
KENTUCKY, is as much a secession traitor as
Breckenridge and Buckner were while they
were still plotting to carry Kentucky over to
the "southern confederacy." He is quite as
malignant as they, and he worked with them
steadily until they came out for treason open
ly. He retained his position as governor, but
his power was curtailed as much as possible
by the legislature, and special measures were
adopted to take from him all control Of militia
ry matters. lie has kept his place, however,
waiting sullenly for an opportunity to embar-
rass the war against treason and aid the seces-
sion conspiracy He called special session
of the legislature recently, to which he has
just delivered message. OF course he
claims that he is Il much better Unionist than
most others, and after criticising the proceed
ings OF the federal government, and insisting
that propositions for compromise with the
rebels should be put forth, he says
Il hazard nothing in saying that have been
more untiring in honest efforts to preserve,
and have made more propositions to prevent
dissolution of, the Union, and which prom
ised to be successful if they had been adopted
in time, than all Of my busy, brawling calum-
niators, who have had their vile purposes TO
serve
He would begin the movement for COM
promise by holding forth the Crittenden pro-
position as an olive branch, and he would
doubtless consent to make JEFF. Davis presi-
dent, and bring back all the consplratorS and
put them in their old places, with authority to
govern the republic without interference.
This style of ''Unonism" is popular with Sc
cession sympathzers, north as well as south,
and all the ''copperheads" and ''knights OF
the Golden Circle" will shout ''Amen" as
often as it is proposed. Magofin objects to
Morgan's invasions of Kentucky. He says,
Southern rights men that is, Kentucky Sc
cessionists disapprove of it," Such invasions
interfere with their vaccinations, by bringing
the Union men of the state to more pro-
nounced and emphatic opposition to the reb-
els, and thus lessening the influence Of such
men as Magoifin; and they have also proved
very expensive and troublesome to the seccs-
sionists themselves.
Union men everywhere, in Kentucky as
well as in other states, will at length put aside
the influence of all half-hearted loyalty by
means of which the operations of such men
as Magoffin get importance andinfuence. 1t
is said that Gen. Mccall has learned at Rich
moud that we must propose to the rebels
nothing but unconditional submission or ex-
termination. All loyal men are learning that
lesson very rapidly.
P. S. Since the above was written we
have learned by telegraph that Magotin has
resigned. Good

CheCAing words from Burnside's Camp.
Correspondence Of the New York Tribune.
CAMP NEAR FREDERICKsBURG, VA,

CAMP NEAR FREDERICKSBURG, Va,
August II, 1862.
Not much ditch-digging or ditch-seeking
hereabout; no opening Of parallels, or con-
struction Of earthworkS; no easy, lazy, dolce
far nieate camp life; no lolling under UNI
brageous trees, by the sweet waters, with
book and bottle and fragrant Conchas; no
chicken and eggs, and soft tack and milk, or
turkey every day. Burnside means FIGHT,
and we are going to have war in earnest, and
just as much of it as Mr.. Stonewall jackson
wishes, and whether he wishes it or not. We
landed here on Monday of last week, with a
falr prospect OF lying in camp in the beautiful
valley until our thinned regiments should be
filled and new battalions added, but we soon
after received marching orders, and were
again on the wing. Punctually at the hour,
brave general Reno and his lighting regiments
were ready, and the long column filed out of
camp to the sound of fife and drum, and
the martial music of many bands. My
duty kept me here with the commander
IN chief; so l sat on a knoll, and watched
the regiments l knew so well and had
followed so long, Iuarch by in the edge of the
evening. All, Stonewall jackson, beware
when Reno and his division shall meet you in
battle array Not general in either army
can show Il clearer record of bravery than that
black-haircd little man who rides at the head
OF his men; not regiment here but has earn
ed its laurels in battle fields They mean
fight, and they will fight. But Reno's were
not the first nor the last regiments which
Burnside sent to the aid of Pope. On Sunday
morning Kings division left; and on Wednes-
day, Stevens struck his tents and followed at
ter. And this will give you an idea Of the eel
Gritty and thoroughness of Burnside's move
ments-that in this short time he sent off
nearly forty regiments of infantry, fully armed
and provided with trains, to say nothing of the
large force of artillery and cavalry that went
too. But there are plenty more of the same
sort left" as jackson or Lee may satisfy them
selves if they will give us a cali in force, any
time that it may be convenient. Yesterday
we had large accessions OF artillery and caval-
ry Qrom what quarter caanot say), and more
and lots of infantry will be here to-day, and
Tomorrow, and the next day, until we have,
wcll-supposey you give guess, General Jack

New Regiment, for Nine Months Ser.

Time is of the utmost importance in the organi
zation.n-Secretary Stanton.
THE utmost despatchis required."- Cor. Andreto.
The undersigned has received enlistment papers
for company for nine months service, to form
part of a new Worcester County regiment.
The quota OF this city, under the new call will be
nearly four hundred, and there is not an hour to
lose.
There are hundreds of young men in this city who
had plausible for not giving three years TO
their country, but who have no reasonable excuse
from giving nine months.
Nine months is not much to Offer to save the very
existence of the institutions which have reared
you.
What will you say TO your children's children
when they say TO you, "a great contest was waged
between Law and Disorder, Freedom and Slavery
and you lcee not here?>
Criticisms idle without action. If we expect the
government to make war in earnest, we must be in
earnest ourselves.
II is not proposed that this company should wait
for the leisure OF undecided men Have not sixteen
months of war given time enough for deliberation?

company should be flied, organized, and in camp

SUPPORTING THE PooR.-The wealthy Sc
cessionists, cotton brokers, merchants, and
others, of New Orleans have been placed un-
der reluctant contribution for the support OF
the poor of that city. The United States
military authorities having obtained posses
sion OF a subscription list, consisting of cor
porate bodies, firms, and individuals, for ST.
100000 which had been used by Commit
tee of public safety" against the United
States, the estates represented by these
names were assessed one quarter of their sew
eral subscriptions to the above purpose,
for the support of the poor of New
Orleans. The largest single assessment
is against the Citizens Bank of Louisiana
for $4,000. The total assessment amounts
to 1912, TIC 20. The cotton brokers
who claim to control that interest in the city,
and who, in October last advised planters not
TO send produce to New Orleans with the view
to induce foreign intervention in behalf of the
rebellion are also assessed in sums varying
from 800 to $500, total Of $29, 200 90. The
last of these unwilling contributors to a great
national charity embraces the names of all the
traitors of position and influence in the city.
CoLoNIzING PATRIoTs.-The scheme to get
nation of able bodied loyal men out of the
country doesn't excite much admiration. If
it had been seriously suggested under any
other circumstances, it would have been ac-
cepted or rejected upon its merits. But COM
ing at this most nopportune of all times, the
only impression it leaves on the minds of sem
sible men is that it is supremacy absurd
There are a few hundred thousand white trail
tors left with whom the nation has a long ac-
count TO settle If the president has on his
hands superfluous territory in Central Ameri-
ca or elsewhere, which repels all other classes
Of immigration, it might help the matter lit
tie and better accord with the fitness of things,
TO give them the choice of corner lots. In any
event let intelligent loyal men, who have com
United no crime, keep themselves out of the
jaws Of exile, at least till the status of their
oppressors, and of the enemies of their coun-
try, has been finally determined. II will be
seasonable enough then to inquire whether
perpetual Punishment is really the choice of
evils.

GEN. MlTCHEL's SOLDIERS Huntsville
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says
that tremendous excitement was occasioned
at that place, on the 9TH inst, by the rumor
that Gen. Mitchell had returned. One of the
rumors took the shape that he was to SUPER
scde Buell.; that Rousseau was still to COM
mand the third division, and that Gen. w. s..
Smith was to be placed at the head of the
seventeenth brigade. The army was almost
wild with joy; and the soldiers in one of the
Ohio regiments sent up huge kite on which
was inscribed the name of their loved leader,
"Gen. Mitchell" As the kite mounted toward
the skies it drew out three quarters of mile
Of string, and then seemed to rest above the
quarters Of Gen. Buell.. Although no one
said so, everybody felt that it was an omen,
and deep but quiet sensation was followed
by n tremendous cheer.
