 THE MASON sLIDELL AFFAIR IN CONGRESS-
 The Mason-Slidell affair had been brought up in the House of Representatives by Mir. Vallandingh of Ohio, who made stirring speech in review of the conduct of the administration. The following Is a passage from his speech:
 :" Sir, give me leave to say, that the moment they (Mason and Sliiell) stepped upon the deck of British man. of war your prisoners of State, whom the other day you would have consigned to ielon cells, became indeed the envoys and ambas- sadors of recognized independent State. v

AxN It. Col James B. Johnson leaves here on Saturday for his camp at "Balr5 Station" eighteen miles above Bowling Green. Any one having packages or l9t- ters to send their friends in the central ar my of Kentucky" can avail themselves of this opportunity.
 We congratulate him on his promouoa to Lieutenant Colonel, which he has rocejv- ed since his return home to visit an aflio.- ed family. In the space of seven months in the army he has risen from private in the Little Rock Grays," to the grades of captain, major and now lieutenant colonel. He once refused to accept the lieutenant colonelcy, and twice tho office of major of his battalion, and returned the commissions to the warderartment, recommending ac- compl;ahed officers. He, has however, pass cd through every gradation and the position he now occupies is one to which he has been promoted since the battle of Woodsonville. in which engagement he commanded the advanced infantry who drove the enemy across the heights to Col. Terry of the Texas rangers. With that movement, had not the gallant Terry fallen, Hindman would have succeeded in capturing tho wholo 3oI Indiana regiment of Dutch, under Colonel Willich.

The public printing, owing to the reduction in prices made at the last session of the Gen eral Assembly, and the great increase in the cost of paper and labor. has become an ex- pense to us instead of profit.
 For the same reasons, we shall be com pelled to strike from our books the names of all delinquent subscribers. Even if the paper was not so high priced, we shall be compelled to economise, because of its scarcity. It is diffcultt to get .'for love or monev," and we are forced to reduce our issues within paying limits, and strike off only the number of sheets for which we are paid In ordinary times we would net adopt rule so rigid but 1t Is forced upon

Several of our exchanges are discussing the question of the permanent capital of the Con- fedeFate States, The Charleston Mercury fayors point near Blunt Springs, in Alabama. We ook the trouble to place7the dvders.. on the map to endeavor to find the central point of the Confederacy and ascertained that it is very near the proposed location by the Mercury. But in making the location, it should be remembered that the Indian nations west of us will be admit ted as States in time. The Creeks, Cherokees and Choctaws, are now in an advanced state of civilization, have republican forms of govern ment, schools, churches and due administration of wholesome laws. We should, also, be mind ful that westward the star of empire takes it's way,' and should keep in view our future ex- pansion, and so locate the capital as to be near the center century hence.

As an evidence of the ferocity of the federal officers in Missouri, and the sanguiuary char acter of the war wagel by them, we note a wholesale massacre at Palmyra, Mo. A bridge was burnt and nc clue coull be obtained as to the persons who burnt it. The federal comman- der picked out forty suspected secessionsts, all of them wealthy and worthy persons. Ten of them paid out, and were declared innocent of complicity in the burning. Thirty were tried by court martial twenty-ono of whom were found guilty and shot.

War Items,

We saw in an exchange statement to the effect that General McCulloch had been trans. tered, at his own request, to Kentucky, and gave 1t as an item of news. It appears that such is not the case, but that his object in visiting Rich mond was to lay before the proper department the true condition of matters in the west, and to procure the additional strength required to carry on the campaign.
 They are getting up grand Irish legion at the North. The New York Herald says that Shields will be commander, but we doubt this very much. He has no stomach for this fight Meagher, Mulligan, Cass and Corcoran are to be brigadier generals. They expect to effect release of Corcoran by an exchange, but we think it highly improbable that Davis will con- sent to oexchange him for any officer except Capt. Smith, the privateer, who was found guilty of piracy.
 General Johnston has issued a general order expelling all newspaper correspondents and re- | porters from the lines of the army fthe Potomac. | Congress had bill before 1t to prohibit the thea ru1y, but the latter will fall still born. This | publication of certain matters connected with action was taken on account of some alleged imprudent statements made in the papers rela- tive to army movements. Perhaps the secret may be found in connection with the new bat tie flag. It was intended to keep the design of the flag secret until displayed upon the battle field, but some over busy reporters wrote full description of it for the papers, though urg' ent request was made to the reporters to avoid giving description oft. Each correspondent tries to write an interesting and spicy letter. Their food is gossip and it is impossible, under the strong temptations, for them to keep a secret
