"AND WHAT DID PETER SAY PA clergyman
had been in the habit of getting ale from a GER
tain saloon keeper named Peter-and one Sun
day morning, just before sermon, he had sent his
man for quart of the beverages the man did
not return until the parson had chosen his text
from the pathetic Scriptures where Christ reprOves
Apostle Peter for betraying him. "And what
did Peter sayP" asked the clergyman; aud he
repeated the question, "And what did Peter sayP"
The man-who had just entered the church
door in time to hear these two questions put, with
vehemence-naturally thought the question
was directed to him concerning the beer and as
the eye Of the parson seemed to demand cate
gorica answer he cried out at the top of bis voice
to the amazemsnt of the preacher and congre-
CATION. "He says, sir that you can have no more
ale until you have paid up the last score" Here
was a clincher, and the roar of the congregation
proclaimed the triumph of the proverb-that
great is the power of truth, and it will prevail.

The EIGHTEENTH REarMENr.-We paid |
flying visit to Clinton few days ago ant
found that burg" as busy and lively as thu
presence of regiment Of soldiers quarteret
within its limits could make it. The Eight
zenith is camped just in the outskirts of the
village on low piece of ground most toe
damp, we judge, for the good health of the
boys. The surrounding hills afforded a most
desirable site for camp, and we must confess
to some surprise that their superior attractions
should have been passed by for the low,
swampy ground of the present location.
The regiment now numbers between eight
and nine hundred men, and from present APP
pearances we should say that it will probably
be full by the latter part of this week. Its
destination, we learn, is Annapolis, Maryland,
where it will go into camp of instruction
Immediately on its arrival
We We're present Saturday evening at the
dress parade and must say that finer look

complete are the present arrangements of the
department that none of the
scenes among our first regiments
will ever be likely to occur again. Food ofan

They are filling up as rapidly as could be ex-
pected, all things taken into consideration.
The inducements now held out to enlist
have never been surpassed, and in fact man
can really make more money by going into
the service than he can as laborer by stay
ing at home. What then is the use Of hold
ing back for draft? 1t may be well, per

gets but 81 per month, no advance pay, ane
no bounty. The volunteer gets $1S pei

advance pay, and at the expiration Of tn

billet containing some very suggestive lines,
upon the porch Of the dwelling occupied by
Mr.. Anderson Chambers, on Sixth street. In
communication to the Courier in regard to
the matter Mr.. G.. thinks that some of the
correspondents of the Louisville Journal had
a hand in the matter. We will say to our

tirely correct, politically, we think that in all

humiliation of such an insult, for an insult il
was, whether perpetrated as a joke or not.
