Victims OF the Rebellion.
From the Missouri Democrat, August ~

from Inc Missouri DelAoexatJ august Z.
One of the true and noble men of Missouri
is Stephen w. B. Carnegy, Of Canton. A
strong, decided Union man from the very first,
outspoken and uncompromising in his abhor-
renee of the rebellion, there was none more
deserving the honor which men pay to the
high minded, self-sacrifeing loyalty.
At the battle of Shiloh, his son-in-law, Lieut..
Col B. B. King, of the 2lst Missouri, was shot
dead at the head of his regiment, at the same
time that the Colonel of the regiment, Colonel
Moore, had his leg shot off. With pious care
Mr.. Carnegy caused the remains of his son-in-
Law to be disinterred and brought home for in
terment.
Last Sunday, at Canton, his only son, Mr..
j. w. Darnegy, was shot by the rebels while
refusing to open his fathers warehouse to
guerrilla plunderers. He has since died of his
wounds. Thus has a brave old man been be-
reaved of his only son and his son-in-law by
these aecursed rebels. The desolation carried
to his household must be most distressing; but
there are thousands of homes in all the North
west that suffer the loss of their nearest and
dearest. What mourning there is in all the
land no pen can write or tongue can tell.
To few, however, have there come more af-
ficting blows than these which have stricken
down the props of Mr.. Carnegy's house. Bet
ter thus, however, than household dishonored
BY the treason of one Of its members. These
men died true to their country.

Rev. DR.. Plumer, who has had so much
trouble with his congregation in Allegheny,
Penn, either because of bis sympathy with the
rebels, or supposed want of sympathy with the
Government, has been {" smoked OUT at last.
In a card which he has just published, he says :;
/ regard it as my solemn duty and my high
privilege to sustain this Government; and
against any and every attempt to destroy it,
| intend to sustain it in word and deed, by
precept and example, with my prayers, with
the little worldly goods possess, and, if called
thereto, with my life. 1 would not live under
it if 1 could not heartily do these things. i
have often spoken and written for it, but never
against it. For better and for worse, / own
no other Government than that under which
l nov enjoy all my temporal blessings. /
have long ago written, and still maintain,
that there is no provision in our form Of Gov
ernment for secession, and that secession is
revolution. OF these things I have SO long
and familiarity spoken, both pnbliely and pri-
vately, and they have for many years entered
80 fully into the very elements of my prinei-
pies, that / was surprised when was told that
any one thought it would be proper that /
| should avow them sny more publicly than
had already done, in order to prevent mis-
understanding Of my true position"

The following is an extract from q speech
by Rev. J. Walker jackson, at the great Phil
adelphia war meeting:
My dear friends, have you not noticed the
attempt that has been made to justify this
Southern rebellion by comparing it to our rev.
olution against Great Britain? The tongue of
the man that did it ought to be blistered, his
arm should fall palsied to his side who dares
to do It There is not the slightest comparison
between them. Pitt Fox and Burke, on the
hoor of the British Parliament, justified the
revolution upon constitutional grounds. They
took the bold ground that the Constitution
| had been violated-that the one great princi-
/ pie that raised the Colonies to arms, taxation
| without representation, was in defiance of the
/ British Constitution-thaS il was a British
| freemsn's right, everywhere on the globe, to be
represented before he was taxed
Has there been any such pretense with ref
4 erence to the Southern rebellion? Has there
| been any pretense at all? There has been 8
| great deal said about a voluntary union, to
depend upon the will of the separate States.
Thele has been this one pretense, which is
nothing more than the right of a madmau to
take plank out of the bottom of a ship at
sea in tempest or the madman's pretense to
set fire to his own house when it is in the
midst of row. Has the Constitution been
violated IN single solitary particular What
has the North ever done to the South how
at any time has she offendedP We might al
most take the language of the Declaration of
Independence, and say We have knelt at their
feet and been spurned-we have offered petit
| tions that have been refused again ahd again
There is no recourse left to US but war-stern
! war, war to the knife, war until this rebellion
ceases, and all rebellion ceases with this one
/ rebellion.

Injuries to the Gunboats.

Mississippi Flotilla cf vicksburg,


Mississippi Fotilla, cf vicksburg, I
Friday, July 25, 90.
The occupation Of correspondents on the
fotilla seems nearly exhausted, as We are now
compelled to fight our way up the river.
The transmission CT letters is extremely
hazardous, as all the mail boats at present are
obliged to run the gauntlet of the rebels fire
for four hundred miles along the shores of the
Mississippi. We are partially cut off above,
and our return to Memphis depends altogether
upon the quantity of cannon the enemy has,
his his skill in its employment.
A mail has not left here since last Friday,
though one will be sent today by the ram,
Queen of tho West, going North for repairs
and shall profit By the opportunity to for
ward you an account of what has occurred on
the fotilla during the present week.
If my epistles fail TO reach Cincinnati, you
must conclude the enemy is boring himself
over the chirography of g Bohemian, and en-.
deavoring vainly to comprehend what SC
much bad manuscript means.

COL g. Bassett French, Ad-decsmp to the Governor Of
Virginia, Executive Department, Richmond
SIR: In reply to your inquiry of the 22d
inst, whether the Virginia act of assembly,
exempting one physician for every two thou
sand inhabitants, will be respected by the en-
rolling officers, have to inform you that the
act of exemption of the Confederate States
Congress expressly enumerates the classes of
persons to be exempted, and leaves the Secre-
tary of War no further discretion in The mat
ter. Physicians are not included therein, and
consequently our enrolling officers have no
power to exempt them.
Respectfully, GEO. w. RANDOLPH,
Secretary of War.

secntons Of Union men in East Tennes-
see?
Some loyal Eaot Tennes seans, who
were recently released at Mobile after eigh-
teen days Imprisonment fled from their
homes to prevent rearrest and sought
shelter in Nashville. One of the parties is
Dr. VIM. Hunt, brother in-law Of The
patriot Brownlow. He was arrested at
Cleveland, Tenn, though no charge had
been preferred against hun. Gen. Carroll,
at the instance Of some secs>ionists, thrust
him into the same prison with BIownlow at
Knoxville The room was 1G by IS, and AZ
persons were confined within It's walls, all
charged with reluctance to rebel. La this
pen, some had TO stand while others slept.
There was not bed nor chair in the
room. They were fed with scraps Of taint-
ed meat aud bread from secession hotel.
In accordance with the atrocious order OF
Judah p Benjamin, DR.. Hunt with others
was removed 10 Tuscaloosa. On their way
the soldiers in charge threatened 10 hang
them. AT Pensacola they were forced into
the hold Of a small steamer 50 shallow they
had to crawl upon their hands and knees.
aud remained there four days. In the pris-
on-room at Tuscaloosa they were informed
ifthey looked out Of the window their heads
would be shot off. In this roo n, 10 by II,
as many as . persons were prostrated by
sickness at one time. AT the end Of eigh-
teen days, DIR. Hunt and some others were
sent to Mobile and furnished with passes to
return home. They were scarcely able to
walk, but they were lied to pack corn
from the landing to a boat. One man fell
under bis load and diel. In all six Of the
co npany died in that place. One Mr.. Tre-
witt, was a noted lawyer, G5 years Of age.
Some kine-hearted Union ladies furnished
lie prisoners with clothing. They had
scarcely reached their homes when thew
had to flee for safety. A Capt. w McLel-
Ian, in the rebel service, amused himself
by hanging Union r.en aud euttingl them
down before life was extinct. Ibis torture
was used 10 compel loyal men 10 volunteer
TO fight in the confederate ranks.

AT this late day, when SO many different
accounts of the origin of Yankee Doodle
are in circulation, it is difficult to decide
which is the true account, or which TO rely
upon as the most authentic history of the
tune. Yankee Doodle, God save the King,
Old Hundred, and some other familiar piec-
es of music, are involved ia as much uHcer-
tainty as the origin of the Aztec children,
Barnum's "What is il" or the 'uhity of ra-
ces."
When Kossuth was in this country, there
were several Hungarans with him and on
the Mississippi river, they heard Yankee
Doodle, when they Immediately recognized
it as one OF the old national airs of their
native land--one so frequently played IN
their country as dance-tune that it was
very familiar r-and they at once began to
caper and dance, as they were accustomed
to do at home, in Hungary. The same
tune IS known and claimed as very an
cient Biscayan national air; the Biscayans
having a tradition that it was brought into
their country by Jubal, their great iorefaih-
er, and the '-iaiher of all such as handle the
harp and organ y
In 1888, some anxiety having been ex-
pressed to know the history of the tune, the

in regard to it, and he wrote as follows =
