The younger will ask, Why should you seek
to circumscribc the freedom of acquaintance,

know It. Every young person OF seventeen

A SHARP SUMNER CAMPAIGS.--The gov
eminent has come to most important de-
termination. 1t has decided to accept all
the three months militia regiments that will
offer up to the 10th Of June next. They arc
to report themselves for duty at Washington
d. c., Columbus, Ohio, and St. Louis, Mo-
The object of this action is obvious. There
is to be no cessation Of the war during the
summer season, and all the available three
years volunteers are to be sent into the field
while the militia will do garrison duty in the
recently conquered States. Itsis estimated
that at least $4,000 militia can be brought
into service before the 10th inst, thus sett-
ing free for active duty the very large force
now engaged in guarding cities, forts and
railroads. From this it will be seen that the
government is alive to the necessities Of the
situation, and that moreover it acts on the
belief that less than three months will see
an end Of the rebellion. Even should we be
defeated at Richmond, of which th.re is now
no likelihood, it would not save the Confed-
crates from an early death. This summer
excursion to the South will be very popular
among the young men of the North. isaii

Execution of a Union Spy.

army to the Memphis appeal, thus describes
the execution of Union spy:

another suffer the same fate---a spy named
Coon Farris, from Paris or Paducah, Tenn
A more stoical death never Witnessed. As
he rode along upon n rude cart. seated upon
a box which was to be his future bed, he
acted az indifferently as if he were spccta-
tor, and not the object of the terrible prep
arations. When the vehicle stopped, he
jumped lightly out, and waited for the re
moval Of the coffin. This being done, he
walked carelessly to "a tree twenty feet dis.
tnnt, the coffin was placed under it. his hand
cuffs were unlocked, and for a moment he
engaged in conversation with the officer at
tending him. Not a sign of trepidation was
visible. The keen black eye was as bold
and unwavcring as ever, and neither cheek
blanched or muscle qnivered. His interview
terminated, the last words of which, as was
informed were :: j" | die an honest and limo.

then, shut out of the world for the last time,
with only a moment bridging the interval
between time and eternity, he took the pains
to make himself comfortable by moving his
head from side to side on the tree, that il
might rest easily upon the rough edges of
the bark. The guard was then ordered for

Treatment of our Soldiers Taken at PITY
-sa a1 burg Landing.
Correspondence Cincinnati 0asette.)

CAMP TAYLOR, HUNTSVILLE, AM. May "a.
had the pleasure Of seeing this morning
some half dozen soldiers Of Ohio and Indiana
regiments, who were captured at Shiloh
The treatment they received from their chic
ol,ous captors entities them to place among
the maatyrs Of the rebellion. Two Of the
party were taken some days before the bat
tie, and after having passed a searching ex-
animation by the rebel generals, were hur-
ried to Mobile, thence to Tuscaloosa, where
they were imprisoned in loathsome dun
geon.
In the same and adjoining buildings were
incarcerated about one hundred and fifty cit
izen prisoners from East Tennessee--true,
noble. hearted, loyal men who suffered conis-
cation Of property, exile, Imprisonment and
every species of cruel taunt thu ingenuity of
iends could devise rather than prove traitors
to their country. These men exchanged
clothes with our soldier boys, giving them in
exchange for their emb ematic blue their own
coarse brown and gray homespun, which en-.
abled them to pass unsuspected through the
guards OF the rebels. These young men told
me this morning that Immediately after the
battle Of Shiloh thirteen hundred of our men
were brought to Tuscaloosa for imprisonment.
They are now there, in miserable, close, ILL
ventilated rooms, confined as only Northern
prisoners when captured by the South are
confined, and fed on less than one.half the
rations issued to the United States soldiers.
All honor to the brave boys who are there {!
They are doing perhaps, more valuable ser
vice for their country in that humble capaci-
ty than though they periled their lives OIL the
field, inasmuch as the treatment they are un.
dergoingis demonstrating to our Government
a new and more tiendsh phase Of character
than any vet developed by the rebellion.
