ABOUT THE SURRENDER OF
CLARKSVILLE

A very intelligent man, private in the
list Ohio regiment, who was in Clarks.
vile at the time of the surrender, arrived
ia THO o;ty yesterday. he was acciden.
tally left when his regiment ives sent north
from GAINESVILLE, and came with a party Of
rebel cavalry to jacksonville last Saturday,
when be was released on parole, and came
here via Of Ashbysburg. His statements in
relation to the surrender may be relied up
on. He says the rebels did not have sim
gle field piece, as stated by Col. Mason;
that the regiment was in a large building,
the doors and windows barrieaded with
hay, and with every facility for making a
successful resistance, .had such course sug-
gested itself to the cowardly Colonel. He
says further that Col. Mason was notified
that the rebels were coming, and had am
pie opportunity to prepare for fight. The
fact that they were to be attacked was we'll
known, and the men expected to meet the
rebels as tine Ohioans have met them on
many well contested field. The state
men;s of the officers of the list who are at
tempting to bolster up Col. Mason, our in
formant says, are VIGOROUSLY false.
The arms captured at GAINESVILLE were
brought to jacksonville, and last Friday

A VOORHEES, DEMOCRAT AND A LOYAL
KENrUoKIAN.-A few evenings ago we lis
tened with much interest, but with far more
astonislhnent, to conversation between a
distinguished kenGuckian, slave holder,
and a Voorhees, Democrat, from the 9TH
Congressional district. The Kentuckian
was arguing in favor of more vigorous
policy in the conduct of the war-one more
likely to weaken the rebels and make them
feel that treason was crime.
The disciple of Voorhees, who has no in
terest in slavery, was pleading for mild
measures, Cancellation, and for regard to
the Constitutional rights of the rebels. He
was frequently asked if he believed that
traitors against the government had any
rights under the Constitution. But like bis
master in Congress, he dodged-would not
answer. He said he wanted the rebellion
put down, the Union preserved, and all
that, but he wanted it done without hurt
ing the traitors. He plead for the negroes
of the rebels like a mother pleading fol
her children. The NOBLE Union loving
Kentuckian, urged that rebels had no right
to either life or property, and was willing
to give up his negroes to save the country.
Our old friend from the 7th District, We
believe to be honest, but the teachings o
voorhees,, the State Sentinel and the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, had SO prejudiced hi
mind as to lead him to pie d for the enc
mics of his government.
What should be the fate of the Dema
gogue who thus poisons the minds or th
people against their own government

A LITTLE MIsTAKE.-It is generally
known that the paymasters who are assign
ed to the army under command of Gen.
Buell. receive their funds through the Col
lector of the Port OF Louisville; and in this
way immense Sums of money past through
our Custom-hous officers hands. a pay
master made formal application recently to
that officer for stipulated sum of money,
which was arranged in packages and placed
in the paymaster's safe, the Collector de-
manding and receiving the receipt of the
paymaster for forty thousand dollars. The
astonishment of the paymaster may be i'm
aginsd when he discovered on bis arrival
at Corinth and upon an examination of his
safe that it contained, not forty thousand
dollars, but two hundred thousand dollars
the result of little mistake that had
been made somewbere.-LouisVi Journal

THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE CONSTITUTION

THE ANHIvERsAgY OF THE CONSTITUTION
LET IT BE CoMMEMoRATED.-On the l7th
day of September, 1887, The Constitution
OF the United States was adopted in the
Convention over which GEoRGE WASHING
TON presided, and of which such patriots as
ALEXANDER HAMILTON, BENJAMIN FRANK
LIN, JAMES MADISON aud the PINcKNEYs
were members. Seventy-6ve years are
about 10 close since that day, and the na-
ton that has lived under that Constitution
in liberty and peace is waging a mighty
war with Americans in arms against the
glorious work of their fathers.
At such time, aud in the midst of such
scenes, THE ANNIVERSARY oE THE CoNsTITU-
TON should be remembered, honOred and
commemorated throughout the loyal States
! and in the army aud navy of the Union
We have few enough anniversaries of pa
triotism; lei US now add one, to be OBJ
served as long as the Constitution stands.

The braid follows the needle with perfect accu-

pidity. Every lady muy now possess one Of
those lovely chambray morning robes sembroider-
ed in vines and labyrinths Of white braid, which
have heretofore fallen to the lot only of the
most industrious and ingenious. For summer
