dent asks US what We suppose our heac
is worth. Well, John Morgan, hi,
friends say, has offered two hundred
thousand dollars for it, but the offer
hasn't brought him the mueh-desider-

The people of the rebel cities point
proudly to the long. rank grass in their
streets as proof of the astonishing fer
tility of the Southern soil in comparison
with the sterile North. -.
Women and children, are you doing
your whole duty in contributing hos
pital supplies? Lint and bandages are
wanted wherever there is sturdy blow
struck for the Union. All should be
at work; the warrior in the 6eld, youth
and old age in the cause of humanity.
The Richmond Examiner saws the
rebel Government "draws long breath
after its late suspense" Let it draw
as long breaths as it pleases, for it will
have precious few Of them.
Some woman writes to us that she
thinks that the rebel prisoners here may

lion. Humphrey Marshall its paunch,
and Floyd and Pillow its legs.
The rebels came into Kentucky's
front door and must be driven out at
the back one.
Our armies won't hang fire; they
will be most likely to hang 6re-eaters.
It is said that Humphrey Marshall is
coming in this direction. II any Of our
friends design drawing bead upon him
when he gets inside, let them practice
beforehand at barn-door.
Much blood and treasure was given
for the establishment of the Union, and
all the loyal blood now in it will be
given, if need be, for its preservation.
The man who shouts for the Union
and doesn't take up arms for it has
more lungs than pluck.
Our Union authorities are too often
hanging back when the rebels should
be hanging up.
Our Government has punished the
rebels so terribly that they hate it bitter
ly. If it had done less, they would
have hated it bitterly and despised it
utterly.
The rebels are unable to conceal the
fact that they mean to have a mon

Great Britain is suffering terribly
from the consequences Of our rebellion.
She was glad that it broke out. Let
her suffer ill she is sorry.
