The Firth Cavalry in St. Joseph.

Probably ST. Joseph has never seen a
more stormy day than yesterday since
Boyd and Cundiff were here pludering
Union men. The streets were filled with
the boys of the 5lh cavalry. and such
general rowing from one end of town to
the other was never heard of before.
First, Kansas refugee named Gers
ham Gillian, was met by one party of his
loyal Kansas neighbors. The lie passed
between them, when the rebel struck
Kansian, and the bah opened. The
crowd chased Gilham to his house, which
he entered in hot haste, and crawling into
bed beside his sick wife, fondly expect
ed immunity attheir hands. But he mis-
Judged their temper. They rushed in
at the doors, piled in at the windows,
hauled out their trophy, marched him
into town and beat him severely. The
guard interfered and took the rebel to
the guard house. In the chase we are
informed that the crowd rushed into Mr..
Smiths stable, and that he undertook to
prevent violence. After drubing Gillian
they set upon Mr.. Smith and beat him
numerically.
Soon after, little son of Capt. Dol
man was accosted by citizen in the VI
cinity of Frederick Avenue, and asked if
he was with the crowd of soldiers that
beat Gillian. He replied affirmatively
for he like every other boy in town, in
nocently ran into the crowd to see what
was up. The citiben drew his revolver,
aid swearing that he would have revenge
fitted six shots at the boy, one ball enter
ine his arm. That man had better keep
oII of the way of Penick's men.
They then went up 10 E.. Burns Live
ry Stable, and beat him terribly. Next
they got after fellow named Rogers, on
4tb street, fred several shots al HIM and
chased him into the Provost MarshaIs
Office. They then took after Crane
Kansian, bu. the Doctor is a irife the
longest geared institution in this country,
and he outran the boys of this conserva-
tive reniment. We understand that they
are on the lookout for a late member of
the State Convention, who will probably
keep at a respectful distance. We have
not space TO recount all the rows of yes
terday.
One thing is evident, Rebels are not to
live here in peace with the boys of the
5lh Cavalry. They know what they are
regarded by the rebels as outlaws. When
ever one of them is captured by guerrillas
death is his certain portion. They have
seen their comrads brought into camp
with their ears and noses cut of, their
heads blown to atoms by the ignition of
powder poured in their ears, and their
bodies pierced with fifty bullets and a.
hundred sabre cuts, all inflicted BY guer-
atlas. The 9th Cavalry are somewhat
radiCal.--SL Joseph Herald.

The Charleston BIOCkade ETectiVe,

The Boston Journal publishes an
extract Of letter from the squadron
off Charleston, which shows that our
sailors are thoroughly awake to their
duty, and are making blockade run
ming hazardous business
"Perhaps it may be gratifying TO
know what the squadron off Charles
ton have done in the past month, and
it may serve to convince many who
doubt the efficiency Of the blockade,
that it has done a good work. Du.
ring the month four vessels attempting
to run out have been captured, three
steamers sunk, and two turned back.
One of the prizes was taken by the
Powhatan, one by the Flag, and two
by the Canandligua. One steamer
was sunk by the Housatonic, one by
the. Wissahickon, and one by the
Stettin, which also turned back two
that had already crossed the bar, and
as the Gen. Havelock, one dark night
ran past her, shot away her smoke
stack, killing three men and wound
ing two more, and, as the Southern
papers say, materially injuring her."

IF a piece Of silver be put into nitric
acid. a clear and eolorless liquid. it is rap
idly dissolved, and vanishes from the
sight The solution Of silver may be
mixed with water. and TO appearance no
effect whatever is produced; thus, in a
pail of wates we dissolve and render in
visible more than ten pounds worth of
silver, not a particle Of which can be
seen. Not only silver. lead and iron, but
every other metal can be treated in the
same way with similar results. When
charcoal is burned. when candles are
burned, when paper is burned, these SUBJ
stances disappear and become invisible.
In fact every material which is visible.
can, ly certain treatment, be rendered
invisible. Matter which 10 one condition

the least ray Of light to pass through it,
will in another form become quite trans

nexplicable. Philosophers do not even
broach theories upon the subject. much
less do they endeavor to explain It. The

a chrysalis and then gorgeous butterfly.
If pailful of the solution of silver be
cast into the stream, il is apparently lost
by It's dispersion into the water; but il
nevertheless continues to exist. Sowhen

A FEW WORDS TO FRIENDS.

Most of you are aware of my alb
sence from home for the last four
months, and the cause for It. Ow-
ing TO this absence, and the work |
have had TO do, / have done but lit
tie for the journal. But ! did the
next best thing could for the paper
in securing the services Of Mr.. j. b.
Harrison as Office Editor and bust
ness agent of the concern. / believe
he has given very general if not en-
tire satisfaction TO all concerned; and
the probability is that he will still
continue for a while his connection
with the paper As things now ap-
pear in the military horizon Of our
country, there is probability,
think, that may be soon relieved
from my present position in the ser
vice Of the Government. If so |
will return home and TO my private
duties with the greatest pleasure.
At the same time / must beg the
leave to say, in the briefest and most
respectful manner possible, to all
such as are in arrears to the paper or
office, that the amounts due from
them are very much needed. Get
ting out paper in these times is
cash business, and very expensive
one. Everything connected with
the business is very high and has to
be paid for. There is no credit sys
tenn about it any longer, and we have
no desire that there should be. But
we have to have the money. So,
dear reader, if you are in arrears
with us, we hope you will take no of
Tense when we say, kindly, but en-
phatically, ere mean you. The Office
needs the one, three, five or ten dol
lars You may owe it, to defray its
current expenses.
