Three Cheers for the Bed, white and Blue !
Pettieoats.

A correspondent Of the Indianapolis Jour
nal wiring from 8Eartinsburg, Va., fllultrates
the Union feeling observed along the march
from Paw Paw: &
AT North Mountain House we experienced
the first genuine Union feeling lwe-h have met
with since we have benin Virginia. Every
house-top had on it the flag Of the Union,
st this station, three days before, there were
rebel pickets. The genuine Union feeling Of
the people Of North Mountain will illustrate
BY area1 occurrence. It seems thattbe young
ladies Of North Mountain House have a large
Onion flag, which It was necessary that they
should keep concealed so the rebels woald
not get it. The young ladies, nfter mature
thought, concluded to have it worn as a skirt
and selected Miss. Matte Cookers as the most
proper person, Thus eneompassei she lived
and moved ntil Capt John Wilson'S Com
pany Of the 18th arrived in town. When ii
was known that we. were United States SOL
diers she took the flag from It's place Of con-
cealrnent and stood undauutelly waving it
while the Captains company gave it three
times three, and the band, to enliven the
scene. gave the people Yankee Doodle, An
old lady who was present said to us afterward
that Miss Cookers ought tolave takenit from
its place of eoncsalment before we came up
for now that we had found out where the
Union ladies' kept their flags concealed we
would be looking for them all the time, We
met another old lady there, en- route for .
neighbor's on visit, but she said she could
not 90 any further, for she must stay and see
the dear soldiers. and that, for her part she
hadn't felt 50 happy since Parson So and so
had arevivalat her house, before Secession.

Mr. Seward on the Peace Policy Of the United
States.

States.
TnE policy OF the United States is set forth
in few golden sentences, which Secretary
Seward writes to Mr.. Harper Twelirtrse, who
lately presided alta London meeting Of con-
graduation over the settlement Of the dispute
between the two countries: -.
a The policy ofthe American people, Sir,
is policy of peace, at home, peace sbroad,
peace with all nations-a policy Of freedom
for themselves, of freedom in their extending
empire, and policy hopeful Of and conducive
to the ultimate freedom Of all classes and con
ditions Of men. Whoever shall wage war
against the American people, viii find them
selves obliged, not only TO commit the first
wrong, but to become, when they enter the
contest, the enemies, not only of order, peace
and progress on this continent, but Of human
nature itself" s-
The letter which contains these remarkable
expressions-which find sympathetic response
throughout all the loyal States at Ieast-is
published in the London papers. One would
suppose It should forever give the lie to the
misrepresentation which certain British jour
mails persistently make, Of the views Of the
Cabinet and Mr. Seward in particular.

The Invalid Germs.

Seventeen regiments have already
been formed for the Invalid Corps Its
divided into two battalions. The first
battalion is composed of men selected
from the active armies, who, by reason of
lung or heart disease, rupture, chronic
diarrhea, dysentery, or other similar dis
eases, cannot endure the fatigues and
exposure of an active campaign, but
who can be fully sheltered and have their
ailment properly treated They are in
tended to man forts and garrisons; to
perform the Provost duty in large towns
and cities; to guard prisoners, not only
in the prisons, but on cars and steam
boats, and on the march to and from
their place of imprisonment, and to pro-
tect and defend railroad bridges and de-
pots in the vicinity of their, the Inva-
lids, respective stations These men all
pass a rigid medical examination, and
are taken from those who are unfit for
further field service, and not liable to
draft
The second battalion is composed of
officers and men who have lost a leg or
an arm in battle, or are so disabled by
disease or wounds contracted in the line
of duty, as to be not only unfit for field
service, but also for duty il the first bat
talon. These men are assigned as stew
ards, nurses, cooks, and guards at hospi-
tails, and as clerks at depots, and in pub
lie Offices
As it is designed to make the Invalid
Corps a +" Corps of Honor" none but
men who have seen active service, and
have been honorably discharged" are
permitted to enlist in it. The pay will
be the same as to other soldiers. The
labors performed by these men have
heretofore been performed by able bodi-
ed troops who will nov be sent to the
field
There are two companies of this corps
in this city. Lieut. Dickerson is in COM
mand, and Lieut., De La Hunt is Post
Adjutant

COMPLIMENTS FROM THEIR Own AU-
THoEs.-The Richmond Examiner thus
compliments the Southern troops after
victory:
The Generals of the United States
know well that none of their troops,
whether Eastern or Western, can sustain
with success the first onset of Southern
army. But if they can protract the con-
test and retreat without rout till they
reach their reserves, they usually win
at last. Why? Because the southern
army becomes mob after a victory.
Generals and troops give way to exhil-
Grafton proper to school boys. The men
straggle, officers drink, and all brag of
the wonders done by our division.
Hence it is that none of the Southern
leaders have been able to secure the
fruits of victory

Gov. Gamble Issues Proclamation
He Maketh Divers Threats-Blunt
has Cleared his Track.

ST LOUIS, Oct. 13.-Gov. Gamble has
issued a long proclamation, charging that
many evil disposed persons are endea-
voring to produce disafection towards the
State Government with the avowed pur-
pose of overthrowing it by violence,
should other means fail
Among this class of persons are some
holding commissions from the State
Government, and to effect this scheme
the circulation of the most extraordinary
falsehoods and misrepresentation re-
eminent are resorted to-
He puts the people of the State on their
guard against the plots of these canspir-
ators, and announces his determination
to use all the force at his command to
enforce the laws, preserve the peace of
the State, and to punish those who dis
turb it. He also admonishes them that
the highest political right of the citizens
to vote at elections, any interference
especially by the military with the rights
of qualified voters, will be regarded as
an ofense of the greatest magnitude.
The Governor makes lengthy de-
fence of his own loyalty, and vindicates
the State Government against the accu-
sations of its enemies. E&
The Democrats Leavenworth special
says Gen. Blunt has secuted the country
east and south of Fort Blair and satisfied
himself that the enemy has gone South

gers to warn the garrison of that place
