southern Ignorance.

A Chicago letter-writer, who accompan-
led the Tennessee River expedition, tells
this anecdote:
awhile the boat was lying at Patriot, q
town lying about twenty miles below here,
many of the passengers went on shore and
strolled through the streets, as is usual in
such cases. Among these was Lieutenant
Tidrick, of Company g, third lows, who is
something Of an admirer of the geDtler sex.
During his walk bo noticed the door Of
house standing open and beautiful young
lady, the daughter of man who owns sew
enty negroes, in the doorway. The Lieut.
enant became suddenly weary, and invited
himself in TO rest awhile, to which the young
lady made no objection, but appeared to be
highly pleased with the attention shown
her by the handsome Lieutenant Their
conversation embraced variety of topics,
the tete-a-tets was delightful 10 both parties,
and no one knows what would have been
the result Of it had not the Iatan's bell Just
then interrupted the lovers, for they had al
ready become such, and warned them that
they must part, for time at any rate
AS the Lieutenant was taking sorrowful
leave Of his new friend she asked him sob
biagly whittier the army was going. "To
New Orleans replied he. 4 have friends
there; won't you have them spared for my
sake? Most certainly, Miss; there,

Mrs. LINCOLN BUILDETH House AND
BARN.-Wo believe it is generally conceded
that Mrs. Lincoln is given to having things
after her own liking. The following auec-
dote, illustrative of that point, is told by a
citizen of Springfield, ILL.,, and we are assur-
ed it is an "unvarnished tale" Some years
before "Honest Abe" as we have been wont
to call him, and his wife had the remotest
idea of presiding at the White House, they
lived in low and unpretending dwelling
in Springfield. The barn, which was con-
tiguous to the house, was used for stabling
a COW during the winter season. Mrs. Lin
coin was neither satisfied with the house
nor the close proximity of the COW stable
and while her husband was out Of town at.
tending court TO be absent from home some
six weeks), contracted with carpenter to
build new barn and add another story to
the dwelling. The work was Immediately
commenced and completed before Mr.. Lin
coin returned, and the change was so strik-
ing that when be walked through the street
upon his arrival, on which the house was
situated, he hardly recognized it; but soor
apprehendiug the reason, he loosely ask
ed person whom he met, "Can you tel
me where Mrs. Lincoln livesl" His wife
who had seen her husband coming, opened
the door as the question was asked, and ex

SOMETHING STRANGE, BUT COMMON
There is one way by which Southern
man can always make "his mark !" that is,
by not knowing how to write his name
In the Wise Legion at Roanoke Islank, out
of "a men in company, only 7 could sign
their names; and in company of So, only
s; that is, out Of 122 men, 1lO had to sign
"his mark !" proportion of 9ol men to
1,Oo0l And to think that this should
have been called the Wise Legionl When
the 9TH Regiment of this city received its
call to Washington, every man the Regi-
iment, without single exception, wrote bis
own name on the payroll. The dusky
contrabands arc not the only persons in the
South waiting for school lbooks.-N. Y In

why Teas arc High.

An impression quite generally prevails
that the present high price of Tea results
from the higher duties paid to the govern
ment. This is mistake, for the duties
are only twenty cents pc. pound, and could
naturally make only that difference, in the
price. The true cause is the great rebellion
10 China, which, since our own difficulties
have commenced, bas been almost lost sight
Of This civil war has been raging for
several years, and has lately begun to affect
the tea districts, rendering tea culture very
uncertain and hazardous 1t is but short
time since we heard Of the murder of two
of our Missionaries, Messrs. Parker and
Holmes, by the rebels. While such astate
of affairs exist it is evident that the produc-
ton of Tea, in common with ali of her
branches of industry must languish, and as
there is no immediate prospect of any
change, the price may be expected to go
still higher. The poor quality of much Of
the tea now in market is owing to the fact
that the high price has made almost any
thing in the shape Of tea saleable, and has
given an opportunity for the sale of large
quantity of poor quality, which at ordinary
prices could not be sold at hardly anything

The lion hearted Parson can beard the

the eloquence of Union women. After his
visit to the Cincinnati Exchange commit

Mr.. Brownlow had just stepped from the

country-a branch Of the Appalachian range
which diverges from the Allegheny noun
tains and forms the mountains and gold

Here also is the junction of the Memphis
and Charleston and Mobile and Charleston
railroad lines, which forms the inland com
munication of the Atlantic aud the Gulf
seaboards, and which is yitally important
to the rebels. The enemy arc reported to
be under command of Gen. Beauregard,

why the Rebels at Fort DOueIsOn were
not HeinfOrced-A TeIegrapic Martyr.
The Baltimore correspondent Of the N.
Y. Herald tells the following interesting
story, which we do not remember TO have
seen before:
On Friday, February IA, Gen. Johnston,
who was then preparing to evacuate Bow
ling Green, sent telegraphic dispatch TO
Gen. Pillow, asking him if he needed any
more troops; if be did, he would 'send him
all he wanted Immediately. Johnston could
have done this, as there was a direct rail-
road communication between them, with
plenty Of cars. Bnt Pillow never got tho
dispatch. AT the end of the telegraph line
nearest 10 Fort Donelson was an operator
who was Unionist at heart, although he
did not dare to express his sentiments. He
kept the Dispatch therefore, instead of for
warding it TO Pillow, and on the next day,
Saturday, telegraphed back in Pillows
name to Gen. Johnston, saying that he had
no need Of reinforcements, and that he was
abundaDtly able to maintain his position.
On Saturday evening he again telegraphed
to Johnston in Pillows name, stating that
he was fighting gloriously, and would be
able on the next day to drive of the Union
troops. On receiving these dispatches, pur-
porting to come from Pillow, General John
ston took no steps TO succor the rebels at
Fort Donelson, and they were forced to sur
render. The deception of the operator was
discovered, and he was captured just as he
was trying to escape to the Union lines.--
He was hung by sentence of court-martial.

The eOnt out Of the Bag.'

The Detroit Free Press, leading Dem
Ocratic paper of Michigan, uses the follow
ing language in reference to its choice be-
tween the emancipation and the destruction
of the Union:
Much as we deprecate the idea of sub
mitting to blottiDg out our name on the
map Of the world, it would be infnitly pre-
ferabe to undertaking to carry out the plan
of emancipation .a5
The Devil may clothe himself in the grab
of an angel of light but it is very difficult
to keep up the disguise. Either hoof, or
a horn, or perhaps just the end Of the three
pronged tail, win stick out and discover his
identity. So it is in this case. The De-
troit Free Press is continually putting forth
very fine Union sentiments and slanderipg
Republicans, but the appearance of the fore
going paragraph uumasks the internal sec
eessionism Of its conductors. Rather than
that the Government shall carry out plan
of emancipation which involves The consent
of the slave States themselves. the Free
Press would have the Government des-
troyedi

Sprinp is Coraing.

Can you feel the murmuring thrill
From the sunshine on the hill,
That with softly wooing kisses,
Paying with their feathery tresses,
Whispering through the woodland bowers
Spring is coming with her flowers"
Spring is comingl--can we sing,
While stern sorrows brooding wing
Lowers above our homes to-day,
From the strife and bloody fray?-
Smiling, greet these radient hours
"Spring is coming with her Aowersi"
Though the flush of victory
Makes the heart beat free and high;
Though we JOY to see the right
Proving its all conquering might;
Saddened are these homes of ours
Can we sing of Springs fair flowers?
Aye, above the buried slain,
Fallen like the Summers rain
Those who nobly, proudly fell,
Freedom ringing Slaverys knell--
Sing we for the land of ours;
Spring is coming with her flowers"
Homes we loved so well before,
Dearer now forevermore;
Men and women nobly made,
As they fought, and toiled, and prayed;
Swell the prelude through the hours;
Spring is coming with her flowers"
Fairer, like glorious queen,
Shall our country yet be seen;
Purer through her purging strife;
Manler with heroic life;
Thrice beloved land of ours
Spring is coming with her flowers"
And our gush of song shall be
Like the chorus of the free,
While with grateful bursts of praise,
Growing these triumphant days,
We adore the love that showers
Joy and hope thro' Spring. glad hours.

LOYAL irish battalion.

The telegraph announces that in the
bloody battle near Winchester, an Irish bat
talon in the rebel army of one hundred and
fifty men refused to fire upon the Union
troops, and though rebel regiment drove
this gallant little band forward to the fight,
it could not compel them to discharge a
gun at the Federal forces commanded in
person by their noble countrymau, General
Shields. Honor to the rebel impressed but
still loyal Irish! How their hearts must
have leapt at the sight Of the old flag of
Freedom. And what hearty hand-shakings

The Democrats are now fearfully excited
over any move that threatens injury 10 the

ResolOed, That the Democracy of Ohio
do now, as they always have done, look up
on Slavery as an evil, and unfavorable to
the full Development of the spirit and prac-

entertaining these sentiments, they will, at
all times, feel it their duty TO use all power
given by the terms of the National com
pact to prevent its increase, to mitigate,
and finally eradicate the evil"
