up his paw, which each little urchin shook
with glee and mirth no wonder that old
maxim that "he who kicks my dog, kicks

EDS. BULLETIN:
In the "Maysville Eagle" of the 10th inst,
appears communication, over the signature
of "Observer,' the closing part of which, did
it have the intended effect, would seriously
inlure another institution of learning in our
midst. In this comm unica ton it is clearly
insinuated that the course of instruction
pursued at the "Maysville Literary Institute
is more calculated to fit the pupils for the
"boards'' of Theatre, than the duties of
home and society.
The writer has had the pleasure of being
present at several examinations and eXhi-
billions of the Pupils of the above nam ed
Som mary, and has never observed the least
immodest "deportment in DRESS" or slighte st
departure from the rules of etiquette to
quiver the feelings of the most fastd;ous. -
They have euer been largely attended. and
to Judge from the oppressed delight and high
encomums of the audience fully and proper
" appreciated.
The Lady Principal of the School came
amongst us stranger. and, as the citizens
of Maysville we'll know, has been untiring
in her energy and efforts to build up the
school and make It first class institution of
learning. This she has been successful in &C
comprising. through many difficulties, and,
that too, without interfering with, or COM
menting on other of our schools. | say oh e
is justly deserving of praise; and would ask
if the would DO structures of "Observer'' are
not uucalled for, a nd entirely out of place?
In conclusion l would say that the artic lie
of "Observer'' could only have been inspired
by feeling of jealousy, and that this reply
emanates alone from true JUSTICE.

General Mitchell.

There seems unhappily to be no room fol
doubt that the course Of his officer IN North

only Injurious to the Government, but dis

The case will not brook delay. 1t criesout
for investigation and determ nation. Let it

after. Meanwhile, we invoke the author-
ties, as they value the national honor and
cherish the national cau-e, to visit swift
Justice upon the epauletted miscreant who
has recklessly set both at defiance. Gen.
Mitchell is now in Washington, and can an

MACON CITY, Mo-, Aug. 22.-The follow
ing is from general order issued by Gen.
Morrill,, which order is to govern the move
ments of the troops in this division :-''Any
officer in this division who permits his COM
mand to be surprised, or who, while he has a
round of ammunition, surrenders to the enc
my, will be tried for neglect of duty and cow
ardice, and if found guilty will be shot ac-
cording to the rules of war. A surprise is
never excusable, and there never can be any
palliation for an offence SO great. A surren-
der is only excusable when there are no long
er any defenders or means of defence, or
when there is no possible hope or chance OF
cutting through the enemy, and then the true
soldier will strike one blow for honor, how
ever hopeless the chance of victory"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.,-Capt. Garnet, of
the rebel army, brother of Dr. Garnet, for
merly of this city, who was prisoner in the
old capitol prison, has been released upon his
parole. He says that he will never take the
oath of allegiance. He was paroled on ac-
count of ill health.
Ten rebel prisoners were brought in this
morning and sent to the old capitol. Among
them is Captain Ellis of the 9th Virginia cav
airy.
Marshal d. L. Phelps of Illinois, arrived
here to-day having in charge twelve state
prisoners from that state, who were taken be-
fore the provost marshal and sent to the old
capitol prison.
The treasury department CONSTITUTES the
word "pedlar," as used in the excise law, to
be person who gains livelihood by travel
ling from place to place and selling goods and
wares, or one whose occupation it is to sell
goods while travelling from place to place.
A farmer who sells his own produce by trav-
cling from house to house, is not pedier in
the sense of the law.
Secretary Seward has written letter to the
British charge daflaires at Washington, stat

Affair up the Rappahannook.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The gunboat Res
olute, acting master Tole, arrived here this
morning. bringing the body of Michael Ryan,
who was killed on the 2lst near the mouth of
the RappahannOck. From one of the officers
the following particulars have been obtained :;
Recently, master Tole, with boats crew
from the ResOlute, proceeded up Sturgeon
Greek about three miles, to cut out two YES
sells which he had been informed were up the
creek, and reaching the place, cut out one of
them, and was towing it down, when it ran
aground. They set about getting it off, when
they were fired into by a gang of guerrillas in
ambush on shore. The fire was Immediately
returned, and was kept up for some time; but
finding it impossible to get the sloop off, the
party returned to the Resolute.
The following persons in the boat were
wounded Peter Nelson, in the hand; r.
Kane, side, thigh, and ARM John Mcdonald,
in the left hand and arm; and jackson, cit
izen of Virginia, who was acting as pilot, in
the forehead
On Thursday last another expedition was
formed, and master Joselyn, of the Reliance,
master Tole, and masters mate Newton, with
boats crews from the two vessels, went up
again and set fire to the schooner, and finding
the sloop still aground they also fired her.
As they were pulling away, the guerrillas fired
into them from an ambush on shore. The
men Immediately returned the fire with rifles,
and working the boat into position, brought
howitzer to bear on the enemy with grape and
rifed shot, and it is probable with effect, as
the firing fran the shore ceased. In our boat
Michael Ryan of the Resolute was killed,
Thomas Newton, masters mate, wounded in
the foot, Andrew Spiceugh, of the Reliance,
in the thigh, and Frank Miller, of the Reli-
ance, in the right arm.
The boat then returned, firing into every
suspicious locality on the way, in order to
guard against a surprise, and returned to the
ships. As the boat was pulling away from the
scene of action, the rebels were seen running
in the field and along the beach, having with
them number of women and children, using
them expressly as screens to prevent our men
from firing upon them.

Tennessee and the southwest.

MEMPHIS, Aug. 2O.-Thirteen hundred
guerrillas, opposite Helena, have burned one
thousand bales of cotton, and committed 9TH
er depredations, within the last few days. 1t
is reported that Gen. Hindman's rebel army
is moving west from Little Rock. The peo-
pie along the road are going with the army,
taking their wagons and other movable prop
erty with them. While Gen. Hovey's divis-
ion was returning to Helena from Clarendon
four of his men were killed and several
wounded by the guerrillas. A large amount
of property was captured by them.
A refugee from the south furnishes the fol-
lowing intelligence regarding the southern
military movements Gen Bragg is at Chat
tanoOga. The next move seems as if it would
be on Nashville The reports of portion of
Bragg's forces being at Grand junction were
unfounded. Up to. Friday there were none
there excepting scouting parties, who would
come in the day time, take what they wanted,
and then leave. Grand junction appears to
be regarded by them as doubtful ground I;
hence they make arrangements to stay there
as short a time as possible.

CAPE RACE, N. F., 22.-The kangaroo

Queenstown the l4th, was off Cape Race this
evening.
Another correspondence between the U. S.
minister Mr.. Adams and Earl Russell was
published. Mr.. Adams wrote in May, while
Earl RusselPs letter is dated July 28th. The
Times characterizes his remarks as ''dry and
caustic."
The Times editorially endorses Mr.. Roe.
bucks late speech at Sheffield, as far as his
lecture to the north is concerned, but totally
dissents from his arguments in favor of medi-
alton.
The Daily News bitterly reproaches Mr..
Roebuck and characterizes his course as the
lowest depth of moral degradation.

by hostile Indians. About 800 Americans
and 700 Mexicans are engaged in prospecting,

considerable, which must result in the thor

SAN Francisco, Aug. 21.-The steamer So
nora sailed for Panama with $50 passengers,
and S920,000 in treasure for New York, and
$50 900 for England.
The political canvass is becoming very ex-
citing. Senator Latham is stumping the state
and is well received by both wings of the dem
ocratic party, but bitterly opposed by the re-
publicans. The probabilities are that the re-
publicans will secure majority in the legis-
lature, though the contest bids fair to be close
one. The Breckenridge democrats make no
nominations for the legislature, and will sup
port the Union or Latham party in the differ
ent counties.
A large portion of the town of Bearville,
on Maj. Gen. Fremonts Mariposa estate, in
Guiding the St. Charles Hotel and the govern
