A MOBILE MoTHER.-A correspon.
dent of The Indspendent, dropping us
a note from Tifin. Ohio. mentions the
following incident:
"When Captain Shriver of the 1oist
Ohio Volunteers was recruiiing for his
company in Tifin, a widow from the
country, with her three sons, called up.
on him and said. Captain am inform
ed my country needs volunteers here
are three Of my boys; take them into
your company. / believe you are a
good man. and 1 wish them to 90 with
you. 1 have one more boy at home
l have Kept him to take care Of me in
my old age and widowhood /: yet if he
is needed l will give him also.'
"As she spoke. a tear trickling down
her aged cheeks indicated the strength
of a mothers affection and a mothers
sacrifice. None present were unmoyed.
Truly the days Of moral heroism have
not passed away, and the Union that
possesses such self sacrificing mothers
cannot but be enduring s % .r

UNION SENTIMENT AT THE SoUTH.--A
correspondent writing from Hamburg,
Tenn, on the 18th inst, says:
There has been so many statements
as to the extent of the Union sentiment
in various parts Of the South, that il
seems useless to express any opinion in
reference to il here. But / desire to
state a few facts: There is now in ac-
tive service down the river force Of
from one to three hundred men. under
command of Capt. Breckinridge. gone
for the purpose OF engaging the gueril-
las near Duck river shoals. These
men have volunteered in this vicinity
within the last three weeks. At Purdy.
Capt. Fielding Hurst has force OF
eight hundred volunteers. In Tisho-
mingo county, Mississippi. another man
has FIVE hundred men for the Federal
cause.
A Captain Jones who lives a few
miles up the river from this place has
just obtained authority 10 assist in form
ing a regiment to rendezvous in this vi
cinity. He has within the past four
months recruited two full companies
from this Harding county. which are
now at Nashville in active service. He
claims that Hardin county has now one
thousand men in the Federal service.
Judging from what | have seen Of these
people, | have no doubt that brigade
Of three thousand loyal men and true
can be raised IN short time in this
and the adjoining counties. Authority
TO raise such force has been given 10 a
gentleman in Mississippi. Let these
facts determine whether there is any
Union sentiment in the South. In con-
nection with this let it be remembered
that General Butler. in the great city
Of rebellion, has been able to find his
thousands of men willing to become
Federal soldiers.

For Congress,
H. S. BUNDY.

HHave we a police force in CALI
polls? II not, why not? There never
has been time in the history OF our
town. when its safety. and the security
of our citizens, more imperatively de-
manded the services of vigilant po-
lice. Yet SO far as We can learn, not
one man is now acting in that capacity.
Are our city fathers blind to the facts
which stare every other person in the
face. Our city is crowded with
strangers. A very considerable army
is encamped in our vicinity. Hordes of
strsgglers. who always follow in the
wake of an army solely for plunder.
are proWling about eyerywhere.-
Soldiers of duty are allowed to wander
through the streets, making the air
hideous with their drunken profanity,
and rendering it unsafe for lady to
appear on the streets without liability
TO insult. Our retail groceries must
either close up entirely. or lose more
in petty pilfsring. than their profits
amount TO. Private families are an
nOyed and imposed upon by fellows in
soldiers dress. clamoring for something
to eat. who are only too lazy and worth
less to cook the rstions so bountifully
provided. Orchards and gardens. hen
roosts and pig-styes, are plundered
with perfect impuniiy BY q few mis-
creants who claim to be soldiers, but
who are only disgrace to their Regi.
ments. Why the officers should per-
NIT such conduct we are at loss to
conceive. If unable to control their
men they should at once resign. If
this course is to be pursued. our people
might better submit to a raid by Jen-
kins and his Cavalry. They could at
best DO little more injury, and being
done by the enemy, it could be borne
with better grace. Unless a change
is made in the administration of affairs
at this point, or the army be removed
10 the other side of the Ohio, we may
well pray to be saved from our friends
The Mayor and Council should at once
take steps to have an efficient police.-
The civil law is still in force. These
plunderers are amenable to it. Let
one or two be taken up and promptly
dealt with, and this great evil be
checked. On last Friday night, one Of
our citizens residing almost next door to
the Mayors Office, had his ed-chamber
entered, and his pockets rifed Of val.
liable gold watch, money, and even the
key to his safe. Yet no police force can
be found to afford our people protection
City fathers! reform this thing alto
gether. The danger of incendiarisn
is imminent. You know our weakness
in case of fire. The dry weather has
made things doubly dangerous. Place
no reliance on military police. On last
Monday night, the pickets we're re-
moved from Mill creek bridge at 8 P
NJ, and placed there at A. II. or
Tuesday morning. Do you ask why:

lying on the field. while larger num-

From BRAeG's REBEL ARNY--From
a gentleman who lett Bear Wallow. a
post town in the northeastern part Of
Barren county, on Saturday night, we
have obtained the following interesting
facts in regard to Bragg's army: The
main army is encamped upon Beaver
Greek, north and west Of Glasgow, and
is living off the fat Of the Barrens
They forage daily for their rations, and
men and animals furnish themselves
with the best that is to be obtained.
The men are generally conscripts, placed
in old regiments. and filing them up to
the rebel maximum. seven hundred and
fifty. They are idle, dirty, and degra-
ded wretches, sleeping mostly without
shelter, and in the worst condition i'm
agionable regarding wearing apparel.
On Friday night last Cheatham's
division was encsmped at Bear Wsllow.
The men said that in the morning they
were going to Woodland to whip Rous-
seau, and that Buckner was going with
them. They said that Rousseau had a
division OF raw Ohio troops that would
run at the first fire. On Saturday
morning the rebel force had increased.
and, while the main part Of them re-
manned in camp, a large force moved
north. This force is doubtless that
which attacked Colonel Wilder at Nun
fordville and were repulsed in such
bloody manner by raw Indianians.
There is no doubt that Buckner is in
command in Bragg's army. He is
now Major General. having won that
rank by his surrender at Donelson and
Imprisonment at Fort Warren. Briga-
dier- General Forrest is in command OF
all the cavalry in Bragg's army. His
force is composed of the Eighth Texas,
Col. Wharton. Col. Johnston's Lou
isiana, Tennessee and Kentucky re-
giment. Morrison and Morgan are
also under his command.
The rebels stated that General Bull
was massing his troops at Dripping
Springs, and that General Bragg would
shortly pay his morning respects in
person TO him. They were perfectly
confident Of whipping Rousseau's raw
Ohioans. It is probable that the raw
Indianians of Col. Wilder were alluded
to. The Opinions of the rebels have
doubtless been changed.-Loaisville

ARKANSAS VoLuSrEERs.-There are

Of loyal Arkansians, who have come in

they are composed almost wholly of
stern and tried men who knov their
