Can this be true of Ladless

An able writer says:
Il have ever found that men who are
really most fond of the society of ladies,
who cherish for them high respect, nay,
reverence them, are seldom most popu-
lar with the sex. Men of more assur-
ance, whose tongues are lightly hung,
who make words supply the room of
ideas, and places compliment in the room
of sentiment, are the favorites. A true
respect for women leads to respectful ac-
tons towards them; and respect is usu-
ally distant action, and this great dis
lance is taken by them for neglect and
want of interest"
In answer to the question of ian able
writer," "Can this be true of Ladies" we
would simply say we guess it am.

THERE is no reason in the world why
sldllful general should be ignorant for any
length of time Of the precise strength and
position of the forces with which he copes.
A thorough scheme of scouting and spy
ing is one of the first requisites of militia
ry art, without which a general operates
as blindly as a sea captain would without
his telescope and lead. Every competent
commander provides himselfwith inform
alton concerning the enemy, and thus
knowing the truth, he is able to prevent
the ten thousand senseless alarms which
are scattered through his camps by trait
ors, spies and towards. But an ineapa-
BILE commander finds himself at the mer-
cy of every alarnist, and in short time
becomes himself one of this pernicious
brood.

The DRAFT,-Secretary Stanton is re-
ported to have said that draft will GER
tainly be made on the lst of September,
if for no other reason than to assert the
national majesty, and show the power of
the nation to command its subjects for
the national defense. aW
The word subjects in the above is
noticeable. We thought that in this
country men were citizens, and not sub
.jects. That is the word that is in vogue
with despotical powers, like France and
Austria ViRcennes San. r,se..r
Mr.. Stanton is, and always was, a
Democrat, and he used the word from
force ofhabit. Didn't Democratic Sena-
tors say that in all well regulated Gov
ernments, there was governing class
and serfs2 Senators who spoke fippant-
ly Of " Northern mudsill?" Democrats
of the Vallandigham, Voorhees, & Law
school claim now that they are the gov
erning class by right, and unless they can
have Office, the Government viii be de-
stroyed. This is the identical doctrine,
and the same declaration taught and pro-
claimed by the rebel leaders Davis,
Wigfall, Iveson and others in 1860 If
the people did not vote as they dictated,
they would break up the Government.
The Vincennes Sun backed them up in
their declarations, and urged the people
of the North to allow the South to dictate
to them as subjects Now we have
another set of would-be dictators, who
say : if you don't place us in power, the
Government can't be preserved"

STEAMER Matte Cook Fired into by
EuerriIIaS.

Yesterday morning, when the steamer
Matte Cook turned the point below
'Caseyville, coming up, FIRE was seen at
Caseyville, which proved to be the dwell
ling house OF Mr. Peter Casey. The
boat was hailed by persons on the Hi
'hois shore, who told the Captain not to
land at Caseyville, that guerrillas were
there, and it was believed they had fired
Mr.. Casey's house. The boat kept as
near the Illinois shore as possible, until
she went in to coal at Curlew.
After the boat left, some half mile
above Curlew tip, some twelve or fifteen
persons were seen riding up the river
bank very fast At Cincinnati bar the
boat was compelled TO run within fifty
yards of the Kentucky shore; the guerril-
las had come upon the bank and motion
ed their hands and called to the pilot to
come to, Captain Drinkwater was at the
wheel and refused to notice the hail.
Three of the guerrillas then fred at the
Captain; he saw the smoke and dropped
himself down, the balls went whistlipe
through the pilot house one striking very
close to the Captain, then two fired and
then third, and by that time the boa
was out of reach of gunshot.
1t is believed the object was to cal
the boat in and capture Colonel O. A
Brooks, who was on board, and who il
raising regiment of twelve month
cavalry in the First Congressional Dis
trict in Kentucky. Colonel Brooks wen
up on the hurricane deck, and at tn
second fire of the guerrillas, he fired
pistol at them, but the boat was too ia
off for a pistol to reach them.
