facts address themselves to the people of the
North? ? Is it not an earnest exhortation for
every able-bodied man to Immediately bear
arms in support Of his country What ap-
peal can be more direct, more persuading,
more earnest9 The sacking of our national
capital, and hauling the old flag from the
dome of the capitol, and trailing it in the
streets of Washington If such an appeal
is necessary, remain idle short time longer
and it may be published in New York and
Boston.
But now some one says, You are Crazy
That same individual would have called me
crazy three months ago if had said, McClel-
Ian will not occupy Richmond the next fourth
of July and Iwould almost have considered
myself crazy if | had allowed my tongue to
make such remark. And yet, Mcclellan
does not occupy the rebel capital, and in my
mind when he will is question of time and
more troops. The south has literally closed
its stores, stopped business, dismissed her
population and sent it to The war. There is
no doubt but that the entire strength of the
South is now armed and ready for action a.
gainst our army. If, then, our present force
can hold out until a quick rally of fresh
troops can be made, the War is not prolong
ed to such an alarming extent, but may be
speedily closed. If some in the North who
say they cannot leave now on account of theil
business, could see the willing sacrifice which
Nirginians have made to overthrow the bes
government ever founded by man, believe
they would more willingly lend helping
hand to protect and defend that government
One thing, however, is no longer an excuse
for them-that the government does not neet
them-for by loud call it is plainly signifiet
that more troops are wanted. Now is tht
time to enlist. Delay will prove defeat.

Women and Chivalry.

Women are entitled to much observance
from men, but they ar, entitled to no obServ
ance which is incompatible with truth
Women by the conventional laws of society,
are allowed to exact much from men, but
they are allowed to exact nothing for which
they should not make some adequate return.
1t is well that man should kneel in spirit
before the grace and weakness of a woman,
but it is not well that he should kneel either
spirit Or body if there be neither grace nor
weakness. a man should yield everything
to woman for word, for smile,-to one
look of entreaty. But if there be no look of
entreaty, no word, no smile, | do not see
that he is called upon to yield much. The happy
privileges with which women are at present
blessed, have come to them from the spirit Of
chivalry. That spirit has taught men to en-
dure in orter that women may be at their
ease; and has generally taught women to
accept the ease bestowed on them with grace
and thankfuness. But in America the spir-
it of chivalry has sunk deeper among men
than it has among women. 1t must be
borne in mind that in that country material
well being and education are more extended
than with US and that, therefore, men there
have learned TO be chivalrous who with us
have hardly progressed so far. The conduct
OF men to women throughout the states is al
ways gracious. They have learned the les
son. But it seems to me that the women
have not advanced as faras tie men have. They
have acquired a sufficient perception of the
privileges which chivalry gives them. but nc
perception of that return which chivalry de
mands from them. Women of the class tt
which allude are always talking of thei
rights: but seem to have a most Indifferent
idea of their duties. They have no scrupl'
at demanding from men everything that
man can be called on to relinquish in a WON
ans behalf, but they DO so without any O
that grace which turns the demand made in
8 to favor conferred. .lntLony Tollope.

A Skedaddling Joke.

The Manchester American relates a story
of twenty-five citizens of that city-none of
whom had volunteered for the war, Oh ac-
count of over-age and other good and suili-
cient reasons-who started on Monday for a
fishing voyage from Portsmouth. Some wag-
gish friends took advantage OF the occasion
for the preparation of a practical joke, as
follows:
"a despatch was sent to the L. S. author
tiles at Portsmouth directing them to look
out for the fugitives. On reaching Ports
mouth, the party proceeded at once to en-
bark on board the yacht Onward, and there
being smart breeze, they were soon dancing
gaily over the water. As the vessel was pass
ing out Of the harbor,a gun was fired from fort
McCeary ordering it to heave to. Not heed
ing this, shot was next fired across her
bows, which had the desired effect. By the
direction of the deputy marshal, Joseph B.
Adams, who was in the fort, the commandanl
sent boat, and the whole party were soor
landed under a military guard. The deputy
marshal, who had been notified that the Cap
tain of the piratical gang, was short, flesh.

4 Kind Act and its Reward.

The Cleveland Plaindealer sketches an
incident that lately occurred on one of the
railroads running through Ohio. The sketch
is interesting though it is impersonal. The
train is running over the road at 4 rapid rate.
The car is full of well-dressed, aristocratic
passengers. The conductor enters and
proceeds to collect the accustomed fare. -
Presently he comes to lady dressed in deep
mourning, travelling with three children, and
calls for a ticket. The lady quickly puts her
hand into her pocket for the sum, but it was
gone, with the wallet containing all her mon
ey, within which the tickets had been placed
for safe keeping. The lady is of an exceed
ingly modest, retiring disposition, and in an
agitated manner explains why she cannot
pay the fare. The conductor is one of your
rd-hearted kind-one of those men without
particle of gentle feeling-and without TAX,
ing into consideration any of the palliatins
circumstances in the case, rung the bell, stop
ped the train, and the young woman and hel
little ones we're ordered from the car. The
engineer had not been an unnterested spec
tator of the scene. He had left the engine
and advanced to where the lady was stand
ing, looking so distressed and friendless.-
The engineer had a big, warm heart. Put
ting his hand in his pocket, he produced
fifty dollar gold piece, and handing it to tn
lady, remarked :-"Here, madam, take thi
and get into the car. 1t is shameful tina
You should be thus treated" The lady hes
itated about receiving it, but was in a despel
ate strait: and after showering numberles
thanks upon the noble engineer, insisted 0

cepted and the party were allowed to proceed
on their way. After the joke had been ex-
planned to the officers, who had faithfully per-
formed their duty, there was no bounds to
the merriment which followed. Jokes and
bottles of champagne were cracked, and it
was agreed on all hands that this is great

A Soldier Hung for Murder n
Camp Merton. Kentucky

The facts in this case appear to b
these: a private, by tbs name OF CAL
HouN, in the I'd Kentucky Regiment
killed WM. SUTHERLAND, whose
grounds were occupied by said Reg.
as an encampment. CALHOUN and
another yonng man killed a hog o.
Mr.. Sutberland's. who, being reported
by MIR. s. to headquarters, were pun.
ished for the act.
Calhoun sought revenge on Sutbei
land. and enticed him away i.on bis
house on pretense that be was wanted
at the headquarters of the Colonel,
and after getting him some distance,
shot hin though the head. For this
he was tried, convicted. and hung in
the presence Of the Regiment.
The last words OF CALHOUN to .'the
boys" were, "beware Of foraging; this
all came OF foraging." Calhoun WAS
% years old, and Sutherland 81.
