"a Rev. DR.. Butler, of Washington, in
lecture at Cincinnati a few evenings ago,
gave his audience q few instances of the
amiahle dispositions of young ladies of Sc
cession persuasion. In Alexandria, gal
liant young artillery officer was spit upon by
two young ladies few days before the bat
tie of Bull Run. He Immediately inquired
their names and ascertained their residences,
and on that same evening, with number
of his comrades, serenaded them for three
hours, singing the most sentimental songs
in praise of the lovliness and gentleness of
women.
The second illustration given by DR..
Butler was as follows In Baltimore, q
young lady dropped her handkerchief one
day. A Federal officer was sufficiently
overcharged with etiquette to pick it up
and hand to her. The dear creatnre-type
of the graces that she was-gave him a
side glance, and in dulcet tones inquired,
"Do you think I would accept anything
from an Abolition hireling?"
The third is as good as the above
While a young lady of Baltimore was
walking with an "air of impuuity" along
the streets, an officer rubbed against her
dress. Displaying fexibility of nose
worthy the attention of Psychologist, the
Dixianic beauty muttered the monosyllable,
"wretcb," and shook her expansive skirts
as if 10 remove something Northernly
offensive. The officer quietly followed her
to her elegant home, rang the door bell,
and called for the gentleman of the house.
To this gentleman he presented the alterna-
alive of an apologyfrom her or fight from
her husband, if she had such an appendage.
if not, her beloved paternal relative must
choose the weapons. Angelina vas called
and demonstrated with, and being so ad-
vised, made the requisite apology.

KENT PURINGroN's GRAND SrEREoPrICoN OF THE
AMERICAN Civil Waive were favored last
night by Messrs. Kent & Purington with view
of this novel and interesting exhibition, and
were SO struck with its comprehensiveness and
grandeur that words fail us when We attempt to
convey to our readers an idea of it, The repre-
sensations of prominent events, and of prominent
actors therein, connected with our present great
struggle for national existence, which will be
exhibited, are the choicest specimens of art that
has come within our observation. Every line,
every feature of the countenance of the men upon
the battlefield are brought out as distinctly as
life itself; and the minutest specimen of vegeta-
'bls in the background of the field representations
brought forth as perfect as may be seen when
under the gentle culture of Dame Nature herself.
The programme presents list of scenes une-
qualled for variety, and interest to those who
have friends in the army, all of which are shown
by means of the newly invented Calcium Light,
the glazing strength of which magni6es objects
to any desirable size, thereby being a decided
improvement on the old panoramic style of rep
resentation. The copies of The Retreat of the
Federal Army from Bull Rum" the charge of
the Black Horse on the Fire Zouaves, and others
of like nature, are so vivid and life-like, that
but the roar Of artillery and the clash of mus
kerry is lacking to transplant one to the realities
Of the battlefield. We cannot convey any ade-
quate idea of the magni6cence of the entertain
msnt and would therefore snjoin upon our read.

DOES He INDULGE ?-Prouty, Of the Neosho

are loath to make so grave charge, but We
think it indicates SO plainly too free indul-
gence in the "ardent," that We feel bound to do
brother Prouty the justice Of excusing him on
this score for such an incorrigible bull':
"GEr Ovr-The name and editorship of the
Smoky Hill Republican and Junction City Union
has been changed. 1t is now published under
the name of the kansas Frontier" 1t is seven

For such nm "abolition blunder'' We know
of no mode of punishment sufficiently severe,
unless it be a dose of the Unionism preached by
the aforesaid "seven by nine" We hope brother
Prouty will do US the justice to state that the
IHeding Paper of Western Kansas is continuing
On in the even tenor of its way, occasionally
rubbing against spot in the Davis county De-
mocracy of exceedingly doubtful loyalty, which
brings out the aforesaid advocate of secession
in three column article defining Democracy.
wherein Democracy is completely used up /; and
also that the Smoky Hill and Republican Union.
though not having the largest and most COM
plete establishment west of Leavenworth," is
withal a pretty good looking paper, and that
it will continue, successfully as it has, we hope,
ITO promulgate the pure and unauthorized prin.
ciples Of Union, which don't require proof to
substantiate them every fortnight or 50. Correct
this, Prouty, for your reputation is at stake, and
to certain extent that of the Craft-no sober
man would mix things in that style.
