A Joan dare.

\ marauding band of rebels in Ken
lucky, on their way to Mount Sterling,
stopped at the house of a Mr.. OldOm, and
he being absent at the time, plundered
him of all his horses, and among them a
valuable one belonging to his daughter,
Cornelia. She resisted the outrage as
long as she could, but finding all her eff
forts in vain. she sprang upon another
horse, and started post haste toward the
town to give the alarm. Her first animal
gave out, when she seized another, and
meeting the messenger from Middleton
she sent him as fast as his horse could
carry him to convey the necessary warn
ing 10 Mount Sterling, where he arrived
most opportunely. Miss Oldom then re-
traced her way toward home, taking with
her a doubled -barreled shotgun. She
found pair of saddle-bags on the road
belonging to a rebel officer, which con-
tanned pair of revolvers, and soon she
came up with the advancing marauders,
and ordered them to halt. Perceiving
that one of the thieves rode her horse,
she ordered him to surrender her horse !;
this he refused, and finding that persua-
sion would not gain her ends, she leveled
the shotgun at the rider, commanded
him, as Damon did the traveller. down
from his horse" ani threatened to fire if
he did not comply. Her indomitable
spirit at last prevailed, and the robbers,
seeing something in her eye that spoke a
terrible menace, surrendered her favorite
steed. When she had regained his back,
and patted him on the neck, he gave a
neigh of mingled triumph and recogni-
ton, and she turned his head homeward
and cantered off as leisurely as if she
were taking her morning exercise.

T OF
Resolutions

! Unanimously passed at 4 meeting OF the
/ people OF Harrington, OF different par
! ties and denominations and requested
TO oe published in county paper:
ResoLgsd-Ist-That at q tims when
powerful rebellion, unparalleled in wick
edness, and tbredtning the exist ence OF
the Union, has risen up IN our country,
we deem it the duty and interest OF all to
to sustain and aid the Government, by
their service in the army, or by their
money, in putting 1t down.
2nd-Tnat the people have a right TO
expect that those who 90 into cur army
shall not be kept from the object tor
which they go by unnecessary and
wearying delay in the camps they shall
not by disloyal, cruel, or incompetent
leaders, be compelled to help the trait
ors; or 10 make an unnecessary sacrifice
OF life 10y rash engagements in battle, by
surprise for want OF watchful care on the
part Of those on whom such duty devol-
YES; by exhaustion from marching, from
want OF food, from digging when others
could perform that work, or from insnf-
ticient, unskillful, or tardy attention
when wounded or sick =
And tina all in responsible stations as
to these matters, who prove themselves
to be thus inimical or incompetent, be du-
/ " punished, or Immediately dismissed,
whether commanders or others.
: 3rd-That the people have a right 10
expect that all the means within its pow
will be used by the Administration for
I the speedy subduing OF this rebellion
and the termination of this disastrous
war. And to this end, one of the most
effectual means, in our judgment, is that
the slaves who are desirous to help the
Union cause be allowed and encouraged
to do it as soldiers as well as laborers.
4th-That the people have right to
expect that speedy, accurate and full in
formation be given them of the issue of
all battles, and of the number of the
killed, wounded and prisoners; as also of
those who die of disease in the camps and
hospitals.
5th-That the people have right to
expect that the Admins ration, with the
army and navy and money of the nation
in its hand, will hold itself 10 a solemn
responsibility for the judicious and Ell
ticient use of these means and TO like
responsibility for every death, or loss OF
limbs or health, occasioned by a neglect
to do all that it can do to prevent the oc-
currence of these calamities, the continu-
ance OF this bloody contest, and the dam
ger of the Union.
6th-We make this declaration because
we think it the right and duty of the
people to make known, and the right of
the Government to know, what their
views ana wishes are with regard to the

From the s4th Regiment.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, July 3lst, 1862.
Editors Chronicle: \ few words TO friends
through your paper. Hotweather and hard
drilling has told upon our Regiment
Twenty-nine Of our Regiment are in the
hospital and some thirty are i'll their
Quarters sick. Of Co. C, Woodrow and
Minor are in the hospital. Both are get
ting along finely. and will be able TO re-
turn 10 duty in day or two.
Seven are in their Quarters bnt mono
of them are much sick. Waterland and
Bartholomew are sick at the Captains
office but are well cared for.
Two of our Regiment, Cox of Co. II and
Andrews of Co. G. have gone the way of
all the earth. The former was a fine
fellow, full of hope and promise for future
usefulness. The latter l did not know.
1t is sad to see young man, when at
home, just entering upon useful career,
cut down, but it is still more sad when he
is away from friends and home. Three
or four more of tne Regiment are very
sick, and may not recover-I am not ac-
Quainted with them. The Col has less
ened the drill very much, and it IS hoped
less sickness will be the result. Every
thing now looks as though our stay here
would continue the reminder OF the three
months. If SO we do not care how quick
ly the time passes, for assure you we are
are getting tired Of this stay here. No ex-
element, no freedom to roam about the
mountains, flor that is no longer permit
ted, nothing bpt drlH, dill, with no pros
pect of ever putting It in practice in this
enlistment.
We were sorry to part with Mr.. Marvin,
but still hope for his return. II on Reg.

Want of "Chsek. +"

- In an amusing little sketch of French
mans visit 10 London, published several
wears since, the disadvantages of over-pO-
likeness are fOrcibly described. The
Frenchman complains that he was treat
ed with marked incvility in the London
shops. though he politely lifted his hat
ON entering. and made repeated bows in
his best manner to the people behind the
counter. Again; on calling with letter
Of introduction to nobleman's manson,
he deferentially gave Il single rap at the
door, and bowed to the powdered / ckey
who made his appearance after long de
lay. But his letters were rudely tossed
back to him, and the street door slammed
in his face. An English friend, OF course
puts to rights, and explains to the dis
comfitted foreigner that an air of decision
and tone of authority make favorable
impression on English tradesmen, and
that determined rap at the door, fol-
lowed by a scrupulous avoidance OF all
approachto politeness, checks any lurking
impertinence in the breast OF British
funkey. We suspect, indeed, that the
majority of Englishmen measure man
after his own standard. They take q
man. as it were, at his word, and do not
think highly of him unless he seems to
think highly of himself. Insolent swag-
ger and selfconceit, viii not, of course,
go down, but certain flavor Of self-es-
TEEN has a wonderful effect upon the pub
lie. If YOU are deferential, it is possible
that 4 stranger will condemn you as a
humbug If you are modest and retiring,
many will consider you effeminate and
sneaking. One MAXIM is usually safe
one. In asking a question, avoid tlmld
hesitation of manner, and speak as
a clause in a recent act Of Parliament hao

A singular Young Rebel Women

As we were passing along the street two
days ago in our usual quiet way, musing
upon the storms of State" and pondering
upon our solemn responsibility in this
great crisis of the affairs of the nation and
of mankind, very petty young woman,
whom we had understood to be fiery lit
tie rebel and even a terrible vilitier of the
Louisville journal, was about meeting US,
when, turning off from the sidewalk, she
protrnded her red and tempting lips at
us boldly and defantly. "'Oh certainly
we will if you want us TO very bad, though
indeed this IS rather too public place, 4"
said we with our accustomed suavity, adj
yancing toward her with our lips CORES
pondingly protruded, when, to our no
little disappointment and surprise, she
started and ran away from US as if we had
been ONE ugly old fellow Of forty.
Now, if that cOquettish young creature
really presumed that we, occupying the
position We do, could consent, for the
sake of kiss, TO pursue her at full speed
through the streets of large city like
this in broad daylight, she was never
more mistaken in her life. We as keenly
appreciate kiss, that nectared sweetness,
that double mouthed rapture, that scar
let ecstacy, that blizing contact Of mated
hearts meeting upon the lips, that sud-
den bursting forth Of two souls into sim
gle blossom, rs any other enthusiastic
Young man on earth, but, at the same
time, we have pride. a dignity, self-re-
spect, and even a regard for the worlds
''conventionalities. that we would not
sacrifice all the kisses that ever thrilled
and bewitched the sleeping visions and
waking dreams of youth and beauty and
loveliness and love.
Now we tell that young rebel that she
asks for kiss in the wrong way, that she
asks for it at the wrong place and time,
and that she doesn't seem to know how
to behave after she has asked il. We
have no disposition TO say more, and even
our regard for almighty crinoline could
not induce us to say less.-L0H. jour

Individual Risks in War.

There is perhaps at all times-certainly
there seems to be now-too marked a dis
position to exaggerate the dangers to the
individual who joins an army The dan
ger of death in battle is comparatively
small. So is that Of receiving mortal or
permanently disabling wounds. The dan
ger of sickness from undue fatigue and
exposure, is no doubt the greatest of all.
But young constitutions survive attacks
of disease, in most cases, under ANYTHING
like .judicious treatment, and sometimes,
when kindly left, get well of themselves
From all causes the per centage of NOR
tality or permanent hurt is, in the vulgar
estimate, greatly overrated. The fact was
alluded TO by a speaker, at one of the re-
cent enlistment meetings, in Boston. Mr..
Northend spoke of the casualties in battle,
and said that out of $4,000 or 100000 en-
gagged in the recent battles, less than 1000
were killed. In his own town of Salem,
about 200 men had been sent TO the war,
and out of that number only thirty had
died within year from any cause-killed
in battle, or died of disease or wounds
He doubted if thousand men who had
stayed at home could show less number
of deaths in year.
The evils Of actual service are experien-
ced chiefly by men of family, or those in
good positions, whose business and pros
poets, perhaps, for life, are sacrificed as a
consequence of the hard necessity which
sends them to the wars, and whose fami-
lies, were they to have any, are made wi
dows and orphans. The necessity of such
sacrifices, should, as far as possible. be
averted. Men, not the heads Of families,
should first be required to go into service
If, therefore, resort should be had to
draft, care should be taken to have it fall
first on the class of idle single men who
abound in all our cities. And the inqui-
sition should be so rigid and searching,
that no one of them should be allowed to
escape on pretext of belonging to some
other class.
