THEY are telling good story in Troy, as
follows :, 1t was remarked that gentleman
known to be loyal citizen, had a secession
flag flying from his house! OF course there
was tremendous hue and cry raised, and
an excited party started for the premises
On reaching the house it was found to be a
iady's balmordl, that had been washed and
hung from a back window to dry! The hus-
band avowed his determination to stand by
that flag as long as he lived, and the efferves-
cent crowd exploded and disappeared.

" NT.-Ths editor Of the Independ
ent was one of the passengers on the steamer
Rainbow, on her recent trip to the new town
of Reading, and in the issue of his paper
gives the items of the journey, and the sensa-
tions he experienced when performing it
He advises ''every body to keep cool, as this
is only the fourth steamer that has made the
rifle, " whereupon the snow fell to the depth
of twelve inches at once in Red Bluff We
would have been rejoiced had circumstances
permitted us to visit Reading cn that day and
take our cotcm. by the hand, but lowing

porrIAa.-A letter from Beaufor,

) poPrEAR.-A letter from Beaufort,
5outh Carolina, to the New York Herald
khich paper now calls the President s'Hon-
st Abe Lincoln'-says:
aThe white rebel prisoners Acf which we
have several, insist that the warjs not popu-
lar with the masses Of the peoph of South
CArolina. 1t has already impoverished them
and cast blight over society generally.
These assertions are fully corroborated by
recent letters found in the rebel ,mps.
From the tenor of the latter it appears that
the drafting of troops had commenced in
Carolina in October last Some men rather
than enter the army, had mutiliated them
selves rather than fight for the rebel flag.

SLAvERY.-We have no sympathy with
men who think that distinction should of
right be made, says the San Francisco Her
aid, between the slave and other property of
the rebels, for we cannot see its Justice
Wherever the Union cause can be benefited
by freeing such slaves, there should be no
hesitation in releasing themfrom bondage
The traitor master is entitled to no consider
alton, for in withdrawing his allegiance from
the Government, he forfeited all right to its
protection. We desire, however, that even
the condition of the negro should be made
subservient to the welfare of the Union cause,
and that the slave question should in every
case be so treated as to secure substantial
benefit for the Government.

McFIGG suggests the following plan to put
a stop to the war: Let the Federals and reb.
els withdraw their troops then arm :he mig
gers North and blacks South, let them 90 to
war with each other, and make them fight
till but one of them is left-and then hang
him as spy. This may appear black
hearted suggestion, but when we reflect that
the project, if adopted, will save the lives of
thousands upon thousands of whites, the
matter loses its repulsive features
