by an order from the Secretary o.
War, n premium Of two dollars will
DO paid for each accepted recruit
also, that one months pay will be
advanced to each recruit when bis

It is expected that the gallant o..

that this liberality on the part OF the

cruiting service.

1 Miserable Lie.

Paragraphs, OF which the above
is a sample, fill the columns ofevery
Locofoco paper in Ohio, and their
readers are expected to bslicve the
trash. Abolition had nothing whatcv'

thirty years "A Government based
upon cotton and tobacco, with slave.

his life to this end, and so has every

Two kinds of Democrats.

When the rebellion broke out
there was q division OF tho Demo.
cratic party. Butler, Dix, Dickin-
son, Wright, Tod, and Democrats of
that class, took sides at once with
tho Administration, and have con.
timed TO give it their hearty, un.
qualified support. With them there
has been no "iis" nor "buts" in re.
gard to the war policy. They took
the ground that the preservation of
Government was the highest duty
they had to perform, and that every.
thing else must yield to this. Un.
fortunately there was and is another
style OF Democrats. Tho traitor
Bright, the double traitor Vallandig
ham, the lottery swindlers Ben. and
Fernando Wood, belonged to that
organization; and when Cass, But.
Ter. Dix, Dickinson, Wright and
Tod pronounced it dead, they adj
ministerial upon its effects, and
stealing the name and wrapping
themselves in its old clothes, set up
on their own hook. They claim
that they are the Democratic party,
and insist upon the former memberd
of the organization recognizing them
az such.
We want the honest portion Of the
DeiDocracy--those having no axes
to grind, and who acted with it in
good faith and from honest motives
to observe into whose hands tho
leadership of the party has fallen
Every one Of these self'constituted
eaders are men for whom their pa,

NEW ioRK, June 90 - A New
Orleans letter, of the l4th, says the
steamer Mississippi arrived from
Baton Rouge. All was quiet ia
Gen. Williams camp.
The story OF Col. Dudley and Mi.
MIS- battery having been cnt off is
untrue. There has been no rebel
force near Baton Rouge, except a
hand OF some 300 Guerrillas scatter.
cd between that city and Clinton.
A few days ago Gan. Williams
sent Col. Nc MILAN, of the 2lst In,
diana, with guard to seize some
property. As they were on the road
they were fired upon by two guer.
rillas, and Col. Mcmillan was slight
Iy wounded with buckshot. The
guard fired upon the rascals and
killed one and captul ed the other.
Gen. Williams wrote to Gen. But.
Ter for instructions % to the course
to be pursued towards the gnerillas
The General answered as follows:
HEAD QuARrsRs Drp'T OF THE CUR,
Nav oRLx,Ss, June 18Th, 1862. :
General, you ask me what shal
be done with guerillas. They should
be captured, tried at the drum, heaC
by military commission and shot
every msn-their houses burnt, thei
property destroyed, and every means
taken to show them that they art
enemies Of the human race--no
soldiers, but murderers and land pi
rates. There is only one way il
which you can err towards them
and that is by Q want of prompt SO
verify.

SnE'a"e thTeuttn'to 10 ADunuon Cannda.
The London Times of June 9th,
has an article based upo0 0the fact
that the Canadian Parliament re.
fnscd n second reading to the bill
for establishing an efficient militia
for the defense OF the proyince, IN
which it Is hiuted that Canada de.
Ipends altogether too much upon the
mother country, aud too little upon
herself. Ii seems to the Times in
conceivable that three millions Of
civilized people can watch the ex.
plosions Of the great American vol.
cano without realizing to themselves
the TACT that the fiery food which is
spreading over the United States
may come to them. 1t warns Can
ndians not to believe that they have
in their present connection with
Great Britain sufficient protection
against invasion without taking any
trouble 10 defend Themselves. Such
IN opinion" says the T,mcs, "is
founded upon mistake both OF our
power and our will"
ut is not in our power to send
forth from this little island military
force sufficient to defend the frontier
Of Canada against the numerous ar,
mics which have learned arms and
discipline in the grent school of the
present civil war. Our resources
are unequal to 90 large conc2n
tration Of force on n single point;
our empire is too vsst, our popu-
lation too small, our antagonist too
powerful. But, if VIC had the pos-
er it is quite certain that we should
not have the will. Opinion in Eng
land is perfectly decided that in
tho connection between the mother
country and the colony tho advan.
tages is infinitely more on the side
Of the child than the parent"
1t further says that there is little
reciprocity in the present relation
between England and Canada. -
"Should the colony wish to put an
end to it, we would never draw the
aword to defend it, and if Canada
will not fight to protect its inderend
ence from foreign invasion, neither
will England" These arc sign,ti
cant words, which arc premonition.
