We take the following interesting sketch
Of one of the great gods of the rebellion
from letter to New York paper writ
ten from Commander Foote'S flotillS.
The sketch agrees exactly with de-
scription of Floyd given us by one of the
most respectable merchants in South rn
Kentucky What sort Of cause must
that be where authors and leaders are
repudiators like Davis, common thieves
like Judah Benjamin, public plunderers
like Cobb and common swindlers like
Floyd?
Home Appreciation at John IS.
Floyd.
Considerable amusement has been fur
nished us on the hotilla by an old copy
Of The Richmond IVA Examiner, contain
ing an editorial on John b. Floyd, in
which he is mentioned a. 'the hero Of
thirty battles" / never knew Rich
mond paper TO be willingly guilty Of a
joke of any sort but that appellatiOn
applied to the notorious fugacious thief
must certainly have been intended as a
jest Floyd-who not only never had
any martial success, but ran away from

1.-The "herO Of thirty battles Is not
that exceedingly droll ?
Speaking of Floyd reminds me Of what
gentleman from Memphis, now on his
way there, told me Of the unprincipled
ex-Secretary's reputation in the vicinity
where he had lived for a number Of years.
My informant was travelling 10 Lynch
burg, Va, and discovered that Floyd
was on the cars After arriving at the
hotel, he found that the distinguished
aud devoted son Of the South" as the
Rebel journals have dubbed him, was
also stopping there and be noticed, dur

ed on or conVersed with him were Of the
most unPrepOssessing appearances, and

RECKoHING WITHOUT THEIR Hosr.---
About one year ago the New Orleans
Bulletin contained the following para
graph concerning the dangers to New
Orleans from our fleets and army
This tremendous force of annihilators
will commence its march when every ro-
quisite is prepared and supplied. AS
this cannot be accomplished for several
years to come, there is no necessity for
US 70 make immediate preparations for the
reception Of Lincoln's big army. 81
Their ridiculous schemes for our subju-
cation show concIusively that they are
thoroughly alarmed and panic-stricken.
We of the South can successfully resist
an invasion from million OF such era
ven wretches.

General DUMoST informs US that his
victory over Morgan's bahditti was
even more decided than we reported at
first. He killed sixty-six OF the Rebels,
wounded large number, many of them
fatally, aud captured $50 prisoners, $50
horses, and 175 stand Of arms. Capt.
Brown, of Louisiana, a brother in law
of Governor Harris, was taken prisoner,
also, Captain Harris, of Bloodhound {"
advertisement notoriety, and Mr..
Payne, of Laverne, who acted as guide
to the murderers of Capt Wilson, who
was assassinated while on picket, one
week after the arrival of our troops in
Nashville. We lost an astonishingly
small number of men. The shield Of
Providence seems to have been spread
over our gallant troops. The foe were
over 500 in number, and we'll armed,

what DO we AK You to DO /,


The rebel leaders, by violence, by
fraud and a gross usurpatiOn Of power,
reyolutionized the Government of Ten
nessee, and declared her a member of
JEFF. DAvIs's Confederacy. The Union
men, aided by that benehcent Federal
Government which never wronged any
Que or robbed him Of his rights, have ex-
PEELED the usurpers from the Capital
And, new, People OF Tennessee, what is
it that we ask OF you? We offer you no
chimera, Matched by some visionary
brain, no UtOpian scheme of government
mo new experiment devised by con-
| Stitution monger. Not at all We ask
| simply that THE PEoPLB come forward
and reorganize their old Government.
| The people never declared this State out
of the Union. II was the legerdemain Of
political tlcksters that placed us in the
Cotton Confederacy. Not until fraud
aud military power placed the ballot box
uader the feet of the oligarchs at Rich
mond, was even the semblance of a vote
cast for secession in our borders And
now, merchants, farmers, tradesmen,
professional men and mechanics Of Nash
Vile, is not your high privilege, as well
as your sacred duty, TO attend the great
primary Convention here on Monday, and
declare your adhesion to that Federal
Government which has protected you at
home and abroad for eighty years, and
which never infringed upon the rights of
any individual within its jurisdiction
II is a perilous thing TO tamper and ex-
pertinent with & government Why, then
should any one wish to destroy a gov
eminent which all admit to be good, and
substitute one whose brief career has
been marked by despotism, tyranny and
intolerance II is utterly imPoosiJlc, ga "a,
re,y nature Of things, that 1oissr and bettsi
Joym Of government than olg present one can
be devised. The form is perfect. Let tho
people comply with its provisions. Rev
olutions by force may be all right in
monarchies, but in democracios or repub-
lies they are the height Of madness. In
she former case, tie rebellion is the up
rising Of the people against Unauthorized
rulers In the latter case a. Is rising
Of the people AGAINST THEMSELVES
II is a national suicide, It is the self
murder Of a great nation. When the
jews, in the days Of the prophet Samuel
asked that venerable man TO give them a
king, like the other nations, instead Of
their judges, the venerable seer warned
them that God would punish them foI
their wicked and foolish request. And il
we idly cast away the pearl Of self-gov'
lernment and freedom upon the dunghill o.
Haristooracy, shall We not have cause to
} fear the wrath Of Heaven, as our resour
ces, our opportunities, our interests and

TIE Louisville Journal says that its re-
cent letter from "Kirkwood" conveyed
the gratifying intelligence that the rebel
invaders in Tennessee, south Of Clinton,
Cumberland, and Wayne counties in this
State, have been pretty efIectually broken
up and dispersed A correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Go.ete states that Smith,
who was eaptured by COL woiford's do
tachment, while in company with the
notorious Champ Ferguson, formerly of
Clinton county, Kentucky, caught boy
but twelve years of age, not long since,
and having tied him fast to a tree ripped
out his entrails with their knives The
prOvocation TO this outrage was that the
boys father was a Union man. The
slaughter of the male children Of loyal
men is now 2 part of the programme of
jeff Daviss marauding agents in the
mountain districts of Tennessee and
Kentucky, as one Oliver Hamilton, a
State rights desperate of ackson county,
Tennessee, made the announcement in
Monroe county, Kentucky about a month
ago, TO mother whose son he had butch
cred before her eyes, that he intended TO
kill every Union man he could find, and
when he could not fiud men he would
kill boys.
This is a fair sample OF the guerrilla
warfare which our Nashville rebels hope
to wage by the help Of Morgan's maraud-
ing troops. Every step which the rebel
lion takes seems TO be "down, down 10
Hell" sinking still deeper in the foul
slough of infamy and guilt.

The Best Time 70 Pruns.

An old clergyman is quoted as defining
this time to be ''When your knife is sharp. I"
He was certainly half right. for . smooth
clean cut is very essential to the healing of
wound. But there is very great difference
in the healing of wounds on account of the
season in which they are made. Pruning
done in March and April, especially if large
limbs are removed, often Injuries an orchard
for life. The sap ooses from all the pores
and runs down upon the bark. discoloring
and oftentimes destroying it-called scald-
ing Without other protection, decay be-
gins. and in few years you have hollow
limb.
We like the month Of June for pruning
better than all others. If the work is done
soon after the new wood begins to form. the
wounds made by the removal Of small limbs
will be nearly covered over the same season
they are made. The leaves make such .
demand upon the wood for sap that none of
il escapes from the wounded pores. It is
also favorable time for thumb pruning.
By watching the growth Of the shoots upon
young trees they may be brought into SYM
netrical shape without much use of the
knife. 5ahV go -
