The Romance Of War.

There was quite romantic little incident
which occurred in connection with the recruit
ing of Capt. Boardmans company, which de
serves at least passing notice While Lieut.
Grannis was in the full excitement OF recruiting
at Strawberry Point. Clayton county, last
week, smooth faced boy came into the vii
lage and proceeding Immediately to the re-
cruiting Office enlisted, giving his name as
Williams and bis age eighteen. Although his
cheeks were as fair as girls, his clear eye de-
noted health and endurance sufficient for a SOL
dier's life. After the company was filed, and
they had repaired to Manchester for the pur-
pose Of taking the cars, suspicious were thrown
out that young Williams was sailing under
false colors. Good judges Of the human form
divine fancied that the clothes fitted too close
in some places, and were too loose in Others,
for masculinity. The good citizens of Man
chester gave the company complimentary
ball, and there various sharp ones compared
notes as to the affairs Of the handsome volun-
teer, and the universal conclusion was that he
she, or it, was girl disguised as a boy. This
matter was submitted to a committee of ladies,
and they agreed to an examination. and ascer-
tain from physical proofs whether it was la
dy or gentleman. There never was more in
terest occasioned by the doubtful sex Of Ella
Zoyara than reigned for short time in refer
ence to poor little Williams. Why ladies
should make the necessary investigation in
stead of the opposite sex We cannot tell
Supposing their suspicious had been incorrect,
what then? However, the brave little patriot
swore that he was a man and brother to the
very last, and it was only when the committee
Informed it that they should satisfy themselves
on the disputed point that it confessed Yes,
it was a woman, and not bad looking one
either.
She was discovered to be decent, respecta-
BILE girl, about whom there had never been a
breath of harm. She had entered the army
from pure love of country and love of adven-
ture. Perhaps love for the generous bounty,
or love for some brave young soldier, had
some influence who knows?
The Joke of the matter was in the fact that
a very straight laced young Methodist had
been sleeping with the female volunteer right
along for several tights, and never knew the
difference. lie came near fainting with horror
off hand when he learned how unconscously
he had imperied his immortal soul.
Miss Williams was clothed in her proper
attire, and given employment in Manchester,
where she now residas.- Dubuque Times.

UNGENEROUs, IF NOT CULPABLE-Thes stric-
lures OF the Sacramento Union upon General
Mcclellan is not only uncalled for, but in
paper of so wide circulation and influence as
that of the Union, it tends to discourage enlist
ments, for if the Commander.in Chief is deemed
incompetent, men will be tardy to enlist The
attacks upon Mcclellan are unjust and without
foundation in fact. The Union takes the "say
so of old Zach Chandler as its ipsi dirit, and
discards the conclusive testimony Of those who
knew personally the cause of the failure to
capture Richmond. II the Union persists in

From missouri and Arkansas.

RoLI.A, Mo-, June 5.-Cols. White and
Vausling of the rebelarmy, and James Massey,
secretary of state, under Claib johnson, with
about twenty ordinary rebels, were captured
at Cassville a few days ago.
Advices from Gen. Curtis army in Arkan-
sas say that scouting parties from Gems. Cars
and Osterhouse's divisions, in front of Little
Red river, and from Gen. Steele's, on the left
and rear have been very successful in breaking
up rebel camps and running down guerrillas.
Lieut. Col. Lewis, of the LIST Missouri, fell in
with party west of Searcy, and charged on
them, killing four, wounding about twenty,
and scattering the rest. Near West Point a
party was routed by Major Hawkins of the
9th Missouri, and rebel lieutenant taken
prisoner. Lieut.. Ricketts,. of the 9th Illinois
cavalry, attacked a party at Carche river, kill
ing four, wounding four, taking two prisoners,
and driving the rest into swamps. Major
Bowen, commanding a detachment of his
of his own battalion, and the Sd Iowa
cavalry, at o'clock P. NJ. on the Sth of May,
fell upon a rebel camp at Kickapoo Bottom
which is west of Batesville about SO miles,
killing three and scattering the rebels in every
direction, capturing large amount of camp
and garrison equipage, % prisoners, % horses,
81 guns, 80 or 40 bowie knives, and 30 reyol-
vers This was daring attack, the men
leaving their horses and charging into swamps
with their carbines. Our troops can take the

-FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

CAPE RACE, June 6.-The City of Wash

town, the 29th, has arrived.
The steamers Southwick and Gladiator,
from Nassau, with cotton, turpentine, &C.,
have arrived at Liverpool. The Sumter cons
tinued at Gibralter and the Tuscarora at AL
gesiras.
The Morning Post understands that the de-
mand for the restitution of the st. Pierre can
not be complied with, as no municipal law
takes cognizance of the act of the three men
who recaptured her as offence or as injury
suffered by belligerents. Had an American
cruiser fallen in with the ship, she might have
seized her, but there is no municipal law
which can warrant the English government in
giving her up, and it is therefore bound to re-
fuse compliance with the request
The Times, in an editorial on the surrender
of Norfolk the destruction of the Merrimac,
&C., says the conquest of the SOUTH as far as
the waters are concerned, seems almost COM
plete. On the land, however, the Times says
it is premature to consider the confederate
power altogether broken. 1t sees no signs of
the end, and no indication what that end will
be. Southerners may be beaten in battle, but
they have immense territories for retreat
The contest is now virtually the whole world
against the south, as the north has ships, and
the world open, while the south is completely
shut out The surprise is not that the con-
federates retreat but that they make front at
all
The Times thinks General Buffers rule at
New Orleans exceedingly severe and harsh,
and. calculated to make the raising of the
blockade there valueless
The Morning Post is very bitter on Buffers
nd Are
Russians ever issued more severe DEGREES
The Post says if Davis and Beauregard can
infiict defeat on the federals the independence
of the south will be achieved. If they are
overcome the south may be considered van
quished
Two ships were up for New Orleans at
Liverpool.
Sir L. Packegoile gave notice in the COM
mons that he would call attention to the de-
struction of cotton in New Orleans, and the
effect it might have on English manufactures.
He would at the same time ask if the govern
ment intended to take steps for a mediation.

motion in favor of the ballot and it was car

that our fleet has passed fort Randolph, where
the rebels are said to have taken the guns
which they removed from the fort above. They
left only five or six guns at fort Wright. Be-
fore leaving, they destroyed the barracks,
stores as could not be transported. They
also burned the cotton, of which the breast

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Secretary Stanton,
in response to an inquiry of the house, says
explicitly that Gov. Stanley has not been in
structed by the government to prevent the ed
ucation of children white or black in North
Carolina. The department has no official in
formation that he has interfered to prevent the
education of white or black children in that
state. A copy of the resolution has been
Transmitted to him for him to report his action
on the subject, which when received, will be
communicated to that body.

The tax bill as it passed the senate will be

erty. The house will probably reject many
of the senate's amendments.
Some twelve or fifteen proposals have been
submitted to the navy department to construct
iron-clad steamers, but only two that will
probably be accepted. Seamen are so scarce
that the department is obliged to take negroes
