"THEM HARSEss."-A poet says: Oh, she
was fair, but sorrow came and left his traces
there What became of the rest of the har
mess he don't state.--Eris Dispatch.
Oh, moi Further down the hill of poetry
it says-"Come wi me, my lassie, and I'll
take thee to thy hdnls." The balance of the
harness is still missing, however-LG Crosse
Democrat.
You are mistaken about that. The same
poet, speaking of the same young lady says: (:
"And all the lines that sorrow left have faded
out in joy" The rest of the harness is still
missing-E1chGnge.
No; still another piece has turned up, for
further on, the "poiek" informs US that
"Loving hands with simple flowers had
decked her for the bridal" Nothing yet has
trenspired as to the whereabouts of the rest

THE ORIGIN OF "CoNTRABAND5. General

Opdyke, our present Mayor. In his volume
on political economy there is chapter on
slavery, in which occurs the following pas.

formerly were, by African traders, at the
cheap rates OF stolen goods, the article being
now contraband with us" etc. Probably
General Butler had read this work, and re-

TEEToTALER.-Thisw word in its present ap-
plication originated VITA an artisan of Pres
ton, in Lancashire, named Richard Turner,
who, in addressing temperance meetings in
that and other towns, some thirty years ago,
acknowledged that he had been hard
drinBer. Being an illiterate man, and in
want of word to express how much he then
abstained from spiritous liquors, he used to
exclaim, 81 am Teetotaler." The word is
said not to have originated with him, but
to have been slang local expression. Ii is
supposed to have derived its origin from
some stammerer who undertook to pro-
noupce the word "total"

A BOGUS SUFFERER "A young man was
borne into the hospital who represented that
he had seven bullets in his body. His suf-
fering had excited much sympathy at Ma.
nassas, and he had to be carried to the cars
on litter. His groans drew tears from even
the Confederate guards, and every one who
approached him expressed the opinion that
it was the most shocking case that had been
found He was handled with exceeding
caIefulness and placed upon cot, not, how
ever, without eXtorting the most terrible
groans. DR.. Peachy approached him and
Inquired as TO the nature of his wounds.
"Seven bullets" was the response. "But
where are they2" continued the Doctor.
"One of them went in my ear, and feel it
in my head" was the reply. "But you can't
find II, and there's no use trying"
As TO the locality of the other wounds, he
professed Ignorance, with the exception of
one, which he said had shattered his foot.
The foot was examined, and the heel of it
was found to be slightly confused. Finally
he confessed that this was the extent of his
injuries. He had feared that unless dread
fully wounded he would be roughly treated,
fnot put 10 death, and had accordingly de-
teTmined TO resort to Yankee tricks. 1t was
highly successful. He was named Seven
Bullets" and is known by no other title
among his prison associates to this day.

SOMETHING OF A WoMAN.-John P. Shaw,
who is canvassing a portion of this city for
Dudd & Co.'s forthcoming Directory, in-
formed US yesterday that he saw an Irish
woman, at a grocery store that he had been

Jug of moasses, bucket OF sundries in the

ST. LOUIS, January pa large number
Of troops are moving from Rolla, Sedalis and
Otterville west. Their destination is sup
posed TO be Springfield.
The following is from Major Wrights re-.
port TO General Wymau:
Prices force does not exceed eight or ten
thousand men, all State troops. Price has
been notified of his appointment as Major
General in the Confederate army, but has
not been confirmed; consequently the Con-
federa;e forces decline TO reinforce him.
They say to him they have 10000 troops
ready to join him when they receive the
official notice
Mcintosh has gone to reinforce the rebels
in The Indian nation.
Most of Rains men have gone home, and
the balance, 400, are at Sarcoxie and CRANKY,
it is said, to run furnaces.
Last Thursday Price was informed that
the Federals were moving against him in
force from Rolla. The news caused great
excitement in the rebel camps.
Price expects his appointment 10 be con
firmed within two weeks, when he will be
reinforced by Coufederstes from Arkansas.
Unless be can take command of the whole
force he will be obliged to retreat. He has
a large number Of wagons, and is putting
every thing in readiness to decamp. He
intends falling back on PineVille unless
speedily reinforced.
He has large number of men on the sick
list. His forging parties are capturing
many Union men and destroying their prop
erty He has only fifteen days supplies on
hand. Each rebel regiment has an organ
lied corps of the best marksmen to pick off
field officers.
A large amount of property was seized by
the Provost Marshal to pay the amount as
sessed against prominent Secessionists by
General Halleck for the benefit of Union
refugees, and will be sold at auction on Mon
day, February 3.

A touching event lately occurred in Eng.
land, on the bank of the Thames, near Lon
0op, which illustrates the faithfulness aud
sagacity of the dog. A young gentleman,
possessed of fine dog, but for some uuex-
planned cause wishing to get rid OF him took
a punt into which he put the animal, ro wed
to the middle of the stream, and threw the
dog into it with the intention of drowning
him. The poor animal tried several times,
till almost wearied, to climb up the perpeu-
dicular sides of the boat, but was as often
pushed back, when, overbalancing himself,
he fell overheard; as soon as the faithful dog
saw his master in the water, he ceased his
efforts to save himself, seized him by the
clothes, and in that position held him till as
sistance was rendered, by means of which
the life of the unrelenting master was saved
He that diggeth a pit shall fall into
it. Return good for evil The dog in this
case was the best man of the two.

A New Mannssas-A Loud CaI.

Under the heading of Every Man to the
Front" the Nashville (Tennessee) Banner, of
January 20, says:
The Department of the West is now the
grand theater of the war transferred from
Virginia to Kentucky, and from the line of
the Potomac TO that of the Ohio. Columbus
is the Manassas of the great basin of the
country, holding sure and secure gateway
to the Valleys of the Mississippi, Cumberland
and Tennessee, if ii is successfully defended.
Nashville to-day occupies somewhat the
position of Richmond before the battle of
Bull Run. In the mingled fortune of war
we are about to take our turn to little of its
hardships. Our brothers Of the Old Domiu-
ion have seen the elephant and heard the
lion roar-have experienced the pressure of
hard times, and suffered the anxieties of
uncertainty, and the natural vicissitude of
such struggle has at length turned the
rough eide of the war up at our own door.
We very greatly fear that many of our
good people who have been jog-trottiDg
along their prosperous routine, are sorely
puzzled and perplexed at this state of things,
and are but lily prepared to face the music.
To all such weak-kneed and supple-jointed
there can be one argument addressed. We
are into the war--Do matter how we got
into it-and the surest way to get out is by
cannon, sword and rife. And to those who,
in the trepidation which seizes the tame.
spirited, imagine there is a probability or
possibility of the enemy planting its impious
stabdard--a standard which once claimed
the homage of all of us, but whose very
folds are now blackened by the hideous at.
mcsphere of tyranny, in6delity and crime
if there are those who dream that the ban
Der staff of the enemy will be driven further
into the soil of Tennessee than that of East.
ern Virginia, we have only to say; peace to
such miserable delusions.
There is no question in our mind of the re-
suit which this winter campaign will close if
we are true to ourselves. Now is the time
for action. Let no man think to escape the
responsibility which has been imposed by
the great, good God on every man, on all
men here in the struggling South. Let no
man console himself with the heartless
sopbistry that he can live under any govS
eTDment. Such q spirit is fit for slaves not
for the Heaven sent impulse of freemen. No
Southern man, of an upright, independent,
manly nature, can ever live under the Lin
coin despotism. The craven who contents
himself with skulking like a pig with his
nose in the gutter instead of breathing the
air of Gods blue welkin, might manage to
exist, and to fish out of the miasma of his
own degradation disgusting subsidy, like
the rag pickers who filch livelihood from
the alleys and sidewalks of life.

THE FAMINE IN IRELAND PROVOKING CHRIS,
TIAN UNIoN.-From the Cork Examiner we
learn that meetings are being held in Ireland
for the purpose of providing funds to alevi-
ate the distress now prevalent in many places
for want of fuel. These meetings are being
convened by the clergy, and surely no real
Christian will regret to hear that Catholic
and Protestant ministers are uniting, heart
and hand, in the same meetings, to carry
forward this labor of love. So true it is that,
in proportion as protesting Christians engage
heartily in emulatipg their Masters example
of doing good to the poor, they drop their
UNCONVENTIONAL hatred and realize that there
is real oueness-a genuine union" in imi-
tating the great Exempar in his life of love.
Apropos of he above, a correspondent
writing from Newport, Herkimer County,
N. Y, gives an account of the Catholics and
Protestants of that place having united,
during the previous week, in raising funds
to build Catholic Church. The writer who
is evidently a Catholic, and writes for a
Catholic journal, adds: "Protestauts, of all
denominations, must confess, behaved
most nobly. Our choir. for want Of one of
our own during the Christmas holidays,
consisted entirely of Protestants, and per-
formed admirably"

SOME OF THE MUNICIPAL EXPENSES OF BAL
TIMoRE An extremely interesting docu-
ment has just been laid before the City
Council of Baltimore, in answer to a call
made upon the Acting Mayor. The docu-
ment is list of the expenses incurred by
the city in the attack upon the soldiers pass
ing through for the defense of the capital on
the 10th of April last
One of the leading charges is 81, 72O for
'guDs." Halls Rifles were bought to the
amount of So 9l0, and other rifles costing
$l,22O. Besides this, there were charges for
gun.carrisges, pixies and revolvers; most of
these arms now being, in all probability,
within the Confederate lines. The ''sun
dries" however, contain the spice of the
document. For hacks and horses Baltimore
paid almost as much as Boston does on the
Fourth of July; telegraphic dispatches stand
for a pretty figure; then there is ITO j. T.
Pierson, three meals and seven gallons of
ale to Frederick City Company, $33 5O;"
this being the very company summoned by
telegraph by Marshal Kane The coolest
charges, however, are, "To |. Hitch, refresh
ments for bridge burners "To I. Lancis
omnibus by Kane, $45;" $50 Fusselbaugb,
spirits of turpentine, by Kane, SIG 5O"
these being the expenses incurred in burn

Mr.. Bright's speech on Monday last in his
own defense, is conceded to have been very
earnest and able. In the course of his re-
marks he said;
Let the blow come; am ready for it. l
do pot mean by this to show any thing like
Indifference to what is 10 be the action Of this
Senate, nor to intimate that do not appre-
ciate the good will and friendship of every
member on this floor; not at all, sir. | mean
by it that am not conscious of having said
done or written any hing Inconsistent with
my position as an American Senator at any
time since l took my seat upon this floor
seventeen years ago.
Mr.. Bright concluded as follows:
Ny case is in the hands of the Senate. l
repeat what have said alre 4dy-I have doue
nothing l would not do again under the
same circumstances. That had been touched
upon with some severity, aud what did |
mean by that2 Why, that did not antici-
pate the proportions of this rebellion. did
not believe gun would be fred, having a
man in the Presidency, whom, l am sorry to
say, helped to put there, and who, be.
lieve, was false to his trust. Deceived by
his constant promises as to what he would
do, could not believe that war was neces-
sary consequence.
