Things at COrinth.
From the Louisville Journal, May l3. !

FROM the Louisville Journal, May l3
In our opinion it would not do for
Gen. Halleck to dash his glorious army
upon the powerful rebel intrcnchments
at Corinth. We have no doubt that he
could carry them at once by storm, but
it would be at frightful sacrifice of life.
We believe that he will make slow but
sure advances, as Gen. Mcclellan did at
Yorktown, and We regard the result as
beyond all question The testimony Of
all who have talked with our brave fell
lows is that no ardent lover ever longed
for the bridal night as they long for the
day of battle.
The affair Of last Saturday, in which
twenty thousand rebels were engaged
shows that Beauregard has not evacuated
Corinth.

men, composed of volunteers and militia

defense Of the provinces Ths gist of
the article is contained in the closing
paragraph:

mood. The longer this war lasts the
more military and offensive she will be.

Fatal Duel in Kentucky.

Our readers will remember the very
bold and able Union speech by Colonel
Leonidas Metcalfe, at Carlisle, Nicholas

Colonel and ". T. Casio, a notorious Sc

An Honest Man is the NObiest " Ork Of God

Some are honest, in the ordinary ac-
ceptation Of the word, from cxpediency !;
Others from pri"ciple. To the latter on.
ly will the above maxim apply, and its
true dignity is illustrated, not merely in
those transactions which attract the pub
lie attention by their grandeur, but often
in the very commonplace affairs Of life :
1t is related that two farmers ha7ing a
dispute as to some land, an action al law
was commenced to determine i: Ga
the day fixed for the trial, one of then,
called upon his opponent to accompany
him to coult, that each might give his
own statement of the caso. Finding his
neighbor at work in the field, he said tc
! him:
"Is it possible that you have forgotten
our case today
"No,' said he, 81 have not forgotten
it, but | cannot spare the time to go
You will be there and know you to be
an honest man and will state tho case
fairly, and justice will be done'
And so it proved; for the farmer stat
ed his neighbours c!aim so clearly, that
the case was decided against him, aud he
returned to inform his opponent that he
gained the property. Such character
is worth more than all Of the Indies

A Brave Iowa Woman Kills a Scoundrel,


! Private letters received in this city
give the particulars of an affair which re
Gently happened at Cape Girardeau, in
which lady Of this city bore an active
part. Mrs. kcndriek, wife of Captain
kendrick, Of the I'd cavalry, had beer
staying at hotel 10 that village for some
time, whsn she was aroused one night by
man at iser room door who desired ad-
mittance, which was of course refused,
| and on has persistin. she called for help
He tten fed, but came the second time.
when she again raised the alarm, and he
ran oil. Fhe landlord of the hotel then
gave Mrs. keudrick a pistol, and advis.
ed her to use it, in case the scoundrel
came sgain. lie did SO, and she then
threatessd TO shoot him ii he disturbed
her again, when he left. Two or three
nights after she was again awakened by
his rapping at her room door, aud opened
1t and asked him what he wanted, and if
he remembered what she told him. He
replied that he wanted to come in and
see her, and guessed she wouldn't hurt
anybody with an empty pistol, and he
then tried TO push her back into the
room, so as to enter and close the door.
Raising her pistol, she fired, the bail en-
tering the neck near the jugular vein,
and he fell dead on the spot. He proved
to be prominens citizen of the town, a
wealthy man, and leading secessiouist.
When the news became known about
town, a crowd of his fellow .seccssionists
mobbed the house and threatened to
hang Mrs. kendrick, and it is not i'm
probable they would have tried to carry
ont their designs if guard had not been
placed around the house by the COM
mander of the Federal forces at the Cape.
Mrs. Kendrick promptly made known
what she had done, and went before
magistrate, who after an examination
gave her a certificate of honorable dis.
charge; it is also said that the wife of
the deceased, who leaves large family,
expressed her approval, under the cir
cumstances, of what Mrs. kendrick had
done. The citizens also presented her
with pair Of elegant pistols as a mark of
favor Mrs. Kendrick shortly after re-
joined her husband in the army on the
upper Tennessee.
In this act, melancholy as is the fact
that any man should thus bring down
upon himself such punishment, Mrs
Kendrick exhibited determined hero.
ism, combined with true womanly digni-
ty, that does her much honor. Her act
will be applauded wherever it is known !;
and were there few more examples of
the kind, there would be far less libertines
in the world d-Dau Goz.

not less than 20 900, in our land, annual

and says they may be attributed to the
use Of tobacco

Sullivan, used snuff, and his snuff lodg-

Bocarme, of Belgium, was murdered
in two minutes and half by a little nic-
o:ine, or alkali of tobacco.
Dr. TwitchslI believed that sudden
deaths and tobacco, among men, were
usually found together, and he sustained
this opinion by an array Of facts altogether
conclusive
Three young ncn formed smoking

Highly Important War Orders.

We publish elsewhere the most important
war order which has yet been issued since the
war began. The Government calls for another
100000 men in addition to the late call, making
GOO,00O fresh troops to be put into the field
Immediately to be raised by drafting after the
18th instant. Those embraced in the last call
will be nine months men.
This looks like business, and indicates that
the Administration now means to make Sd ort
work in putting down the rebellion.
These orders infuse new life into the people.
Upon the reception of the news every eye grew
brighter and every man walked more erect.
and with a firmer and more elastic tread, and
the only expression of dsapprobation which we
heard was, that the number of men called for
was not coo. 600 instead of 100000
The People are fully aroused to the necessity
of ending this rebellion and are fully prepared
fer the draft
That part of the orders which declares the
policy of the Government in relation to ap-
pointments. and Kidding the service of ncom-
petent officers. meets with special approval
Now, by ST. Paul. the work goes bravely

We take the liberty of suggesting to the pow
ers that be, the propriety of so organizing the
militia of she State, that any number of men
within the whole number of enrolled militia, NAV
be ready ut . short warning, to take the field in
case Of necessity.
New the busiest season of the year is nearly
past. and men can give their attention to the
subject without much personal sacrifice, would
it not be we'll to call out all able bodied men
in the State, say on SATURDAY afternoon of every
week, to meet in their respective townships for
the purpose Of drill under competent inssruc-
tors,
Under section IL, of act No. los, of the ses.
sion laws Of 1861, it appears to rs perfectly com.
petens for the Governor to place the rhoie of the
militia Of the State, in such state Of readiness,
that they may take the field whenever required.
By adopting the course above indicated, the mi
htia might be rendered more readily available.
and much valuable time saved TO the Govern
meut, IN case il shah become necessary to call
then into actual service. They eosId stand -
minute men, always ready for duty.
We see suggestion Of this kind in the Grand
Rapids Eagle, which strikes Us = worthy Of The
attention OF the authorities, and We hope TO see
some action taken in regard to it.
