G An executive order in relation to state
prisoners has beef issued. The line between
loyalty and disloyslty is the order says, plainly
defined.
THE whole structure Of tbs government is
firm and stable. Apprehension of public dan
ger and facilities for reasonable practices have
diminished with the passions which prompted
needless persons to adopt them. The insurrec-
ton is believed to have eliminated and to be
declining. The President, in view Of these
facts, and anxious to favor the return to a nor
NAL course of administration, az far as regard
for the public Welfare will allow directs that all
political prisoners ROW held in military custody
be released on their subscribing parole en-
gaging them to render no aid or comfort to en-.
emies in hostility against Me United States.
''The Secretary of War will, however, in his
discretion, except from the effect of this order any
persons detained as spies in the service of the
insurgents, or others whose release, at the pres
ent moment. may be deemed incompatible with
the public safety To all persons who shall be
thus released and shall keep til cir parole. the
President grants an amnesty for any past often
ces for treason or disloyalty which they may
have committed. Extraordinary arrests will
hereafter be made under the direction of the mil
itary authorities alone.

KENOsHA WISCONSIN, THURSDAY FEBRUARY 81, 1862
A New Way to Detect n Thief.

! The father of Mr.. Webster the great Ameri.
can statesman, was very humorous and jocose
person.
| AS he was once journeying in Massachusetts
not far from his native town, he stopped late
ons night at an inn in the village Of -. In
the bar-room were about twenty persons, who
called out to him to discover thief One Of
the company, it appeared had watch taken
| from his pocket few minutes before, and he
knew tho offender must be in the room with
| him.
| 'Fasten all the doors of the room-let no one
leave it,, said Webster 'and here landlord. go
and bring your wife's great brass kettle.
| Boniface did as commanded. The great brass
kettle was placed in the middle of the floor, bot
! tom up-as black, and sooty, and smokey as the
chimney back.
you don't want hot water or nothing to take
the bristles off no crittar do you, squirrel said
the landlord, the preparations looking too much
ike hog killing.
Go to the barn and bring me the biggest
cockerel you've got .
Bonifase went to the barn, and soon returned
with a tremendous great rooster-cackling all
the way like mad.
The old rooster was thrown under the inverted
kettle, and the lights blown out
Now, gentlemen, / don't suppose rhe thief is
in here, but if he is, the rooster will crow when
with his hand Walk around in circle, and
the cock will make known the watch-ste2ler.
The innocent need not be afraid, you know.
The company, then, to humor him and carry
out the joke, walked around the kettle in the
dark for few minutes.
AN done, gentler-en7
'All DONE was the cry; where's your crow
ing We heard no coCk-a-doo .de-do.'
Bring us light?'
A light was brought rs ordered.
Now hold up your hands, good folks.
One held up his hand after another. They
were of course black from coming in contact with
the SCOT OF the kettle.
All up?'
All up was the response.
All black?'
'A-ll-dont know here's one fellow who
hasn't held up his hands
'Ah, ha, my boy let's take peep at your
paws?'
They were examined. and were not black like
the rest of the company
You'll find your watch concealed about him;
search him =
And so it proved. The fellow, not being
aware, any more than the rest, of the trap that
was set for the recovery of the thief had kept
aloof from the kettle, lest, when he touched it,
the Growing of the rooster should proclaim him
as the thief.
As he hands of all others were blackened.
the Wilderness of his own. of course, showed that
he dared net touch the old brass kettle and that
he was the thief.
He was lodged in proper custody preparatory
to being sent to Jail.

The following, we believe, has never seer
print. Ogden Hoffman used 20 tell the story
He was in the great fight between the Constr
tuition and the Gurriere and sand that the British
ship came sailing down on them, as they heard
the searp orders when the guns were run ou
matchlochs, an officer came in haste to Capt
Isaac Hull and asked for orders to fire. Not
yet, was the quiet response. AS they came
still nearer and In British vessel poured in her
Ere, the first lieutenant Of the Constitution came
on the poop and begged permission to return the
broadside, saying that the men could not be re-
strained much longer. Not yet; was The in
different reply. Still nearer the British ship
came, and the American prisoners, who were in
the cock pit of the Guerrero, afterwards said
that they began to believe their own country
men were afraid to measure their strength with
that of the enemy, and this thought gave them
more pain than the wounds from which some OF
them were still suffering. In moment after
the Gurriere rode calamity forward, showing
her FURNISHED sides and as the swell carried
her close to the very muzzles of Old lronsides'
Captain Hull who was then quite fat and dress
ed in full tights bent himself twice to the deck,
and with every vain and muscle throbbing with
excitement shouted out as he made another
gyration, Now boys, pour it into them That
broadside settled their opponent, and when the
smoke cleared away the Commodore's tights
4era IN he seen sDlit from vsist-h,nd IN haAl
Truly the Commodore had a soul too big for
his breeches.' Hoffman used to add that Hull
nothing disconnected, gave his orders with per-
feet GOODNESS, and only changed his tights when
the British commanders sword was giveu up to
him.--N Y. Ere. Post.

Trials 0f the World.
BY A. c. BEDELL.

This world is full Of suffering along The mournful
The notes of sad complaining are ringing every
where;
Love sheldeth not its idols from death unsparing
darts,
And the VIII lie wide earth is tceming with crushed
and broken hearts.
Yet were no clouds of sorrow along our pathway
drive
This world would be Paradise we scarce would
change hrr heaven.
The erng heart 20 purify is sent the christening
rod.
To discipline the spirit, AMI draw it nigh to God
To raise the heart to heaven with meek and low
And silence it's repinings that have lowered it to
the dust,
We may not see the purpose why our hearts are
pierced and riven,
Yet with FULL undoubting trust LET US look up to
heaven.
This life is tul of trial yet know that One above
Looks ever down upon Us with a sylnpathizing
And pltieth our infirmities, though Others may
deriGe,
For the heart haiti not sorrow with which He
was not tried
Oh. let us then be patient, be meek and murmur
not,
lHougn CLOUDS; ana BlOOn ana SHADOWS, surround
our earthly lot;
And when the heart repineth, think of that Holy
One,
Whomeekly bore and suffered TO win for us crown
We know that life hath mysteries for God hath
not designed
To shed MS great omnsclence on the Iowly, finite
mind
But when the soul is ransomed and the fount of life
unsealed,
The mind shall grasp nfnity, and all will be re-
vealed
Then let us place the anchor of our confidence and
Irust
On the might of the Creator, the Omnipotent and
just,
Whose will we may net question nor His hidden
motive tell,
ct rest IN his assurance that He doeth all things

The President Comma nder-in- @ hief--
Result far

Washington Cor. N Y Evening Post.
The President stated yesterday to FeYeral OF
his friends that the recent victory over the reb-
els at Fort Henry was of the utmost Importance
and it was intended to follow it up Immediately;
and that the victories which the Government
expects TO win over the rebels in the next two
or three months would put to flight all thoughts
of foreign meddling in our affairs. The fact was
distinctly announced that the Government was
fully determined to press onward at once upon
the enemy ard thus answer the just expecta
tOns of the people.
This CONVEX sation has the more Importance
from the welknown fact that Mr.. Lincoln has
lately taken the management of the war into
his own hands. This is the true explanation Of
the statements in the ne "spapers that Gen. Nc
Clellan was relieved of his general command OF
the armies of the United States, and Mr.. Stan
ton was really IN charge OF the general manage
mcnt. There has been no formal change, but
the President has quietly assumed his constitu-
tiona power as Commander-in-Chiet OF the ar
mics of the United States. Of course in doing
this he commits the more active duties of that
Office to his Secretary Of War. One Of Mr.
Stanton's recent orders was issued "by order of
Abraham Lincoln, COmmander-in- Chief &c,
&c. Heretofore similar orders have been is
sued "by order of Gen Mcclellan" The change
al once attracted attention here. Mr.. Lincoln
frankly avows his purpose to push the war to a
speedy cont fusion, and admits that the people
are right in demanding that when they are tax
ed SO roundly, as it is proposed to tax them,
something shall be done towards extinguishing
the rebellion A Western Governor was recent
ly with the President, who asked him, "Will
the people Of the West sustain the Government
through the enormous taxation which must be
imposed upon them - The reply was emphatic.
They will endure anything, if they are con
WINGED that they haze government. "

In the course of his able speech on The Sx-
pusion of Bright Mr. McDougal, Democratic
Senator from California, made the following
statement
"Since 1882, thore has been a continual or
ganized war against the principle of constitu-
tional government. He contended that there
had been regular plan to bring about seces-
sion, which was well known to Democrats, and
known to him (Ar. McDougaD and as Demo-
Graf, the Senator from Indiana must have known
of the fact. The war, which had been so long
planned, was actively Inaugural ted before the
letter was written TO Davis, and he (Mr. Nc.
DougaD could consider that letter IN no other
light than all act OF treason. A Senator of the
United States, who, knowing all the facts could
write such letter, was net hit to remain in the
councils OF the nation. Treason was tho high
est of all crimes. and ought to receive severe
punishment
We commend the above high Democratic tes-
tmony to The Milwaukee heros. aud kindred
sheets, which has been stating that the Repub-
liean party caused the rebellion. He nails all
such vile ISLANDERS TO the counter as base coin.

Advertising.

There are few people who understand the law
OF advertising. The few who do understand it
Invariably succeed and amass fortunes There
10 not solitary exception to this rule. The
law of advertising, clearly under stood and obey
ed, enables the advertiser to realize the astound-
ing truth there is in one of the proverbs Of Sol
onion There is that scattereth and yet in.
ereaseth." And he who acknowledgements the
law of Advertising or fails TO give obedience to
it, will surely realize the other halt of the same
proverb "There is that withhodeth more than
is meet, but it tendeth to proverty." AdvOr.
Using, to be successful as a means of business,
should not be spssmodic or intermittent, but
continuous. Persevered in, it always yields re-
wards. There is no such word as fail to the
persistent advestiser. And he who expects re-
suits from single advertisement, which has
had but two or three insertions, and is then
withdrawn, is no more reasonable than man
would be 10 expect favorable result from TAX
ing his shutters down three days in month,
and keeping them closed the remainder of the
time; or than the man who shrouds his sign of
business except on particular days and at long
intervals Of time.

w Edward L. Pierce,the government agent
charged with the care of the contrabands at Port
Royal, writes as follows
According to the best estimates within our
reach there are some eight thousand negroes on
territory of South Carolina now occupied by the
forces of the United States. There are some
six hundred at this camp, some five hundred at
the camp at Beaufort, and others in greater or
less numbers at other camps with perhaps the
larger part of the eight thousand still on the
plantations, living in their cabins, picking cot
ton fer our agents, or doing the best they can
to obtain support. Ofthe six hundred in Port
Royal, two hundred are women and children
Of the eight thousand, as far as 1 can learn,
there are very few who do not need clothing and
many are in great destitution-"
