II is stated as an amusing fact that
the first meeting held in New York I'M
der the auspices Of grand Commander
General George Washington Lafayette
Buckley, M. d., TO organize a Lodge OF
the knights of the Golden Circle, was
held in the Rogue's Gallery at the Po-
lice headquarters. Subsequent meet
ings were held at the St. Nicholas Ho-
tel, at Hibernia Hall in Prince street,
and in regular lodge rooms in tho Bowe-
ry and elsewhere.
The original sympathizers and work
ers with DIR. Buckley in the affair were
two or three Georgians, who came to
New York with the expectation of sell
ing the one-eighth part of a geld mine
for two million Of dollars-a professor,
who came along from Bib county, Geor-
gia, TO certify to the richness of the
specimens Of gold bearing quartz al
legged 10 have been found at the said
mine-three or four ultra abolitionists
"a sporting gentleman who owned mi
ming claims in Sonora, Mexico-tbe in
ventor of a Geographic instrument and
cut of-an auctioneer-a gentleman
who had kept.a rum mill in China and
was looking about for some good invest
ment--A conductor on the Underground
rail road-an ex-captain of a smuggling
company at Brownsville, Texas--a man

nando Wood, who had been . b,cdsman
in Buenos Ayres, and a custom-housC
officer in the Sandwich Islands and some
half-a-dozen reporters and writers now
attached TO various newspapers in ths
city.--M Y Commercial
And this was the origin of the pre-.
cious clique Of scoundrels, (there werI
and are plenty of them in Nashville
who spotted" all who dared to OPP
pose their villainous schemes.

The NUMBER OF WOMEN KILLED AT
VIoKsBURG.-Oapt Harry McDougal, who
has spent several days at Vicksbnrg
since is surrender, writes us that he has
made the most careful inquiry as TO the
actual number of women killed in the
city during the bombsrdment of that
town by Gen. Grant. He learns that the
number is twenty. Besides these, quite
a number of children were also killed.
Capt. McDougal states that during the
bOmbardment il was not an uncommon
sight for women 20 be seen, parasol in
hand, promenhding the streets, and that
the number of them killed is attributable
10 the braVado with whiohthey thus ex-
posed themselves. Vol @
In one instance of the death Of child
rem, eight or ten little boys were playing
together in front Of one of the caves dug
into the hillside for the protection OF
women and children q shell exploded
in their midst killing seven Of them
One littlefellow, Almost interesting child
aud son of a formerly prominent meroh-
ant in that town, was literally torn into
small fragments.
Gen. Pemberton refused to allow the
women and children TO leave the city,
and he is therefore responsible for the
deaths of the women and little innocents
killed during the bombardment. These
statements were obtained from one of
the principal business men Of Vicksburg
aud are doubtless correct.-NeD Albany
Ledger.

Our Cnxnlrr.

The long cherished desire of our
breast in reference TO the strengthening
and increase of this noble arm of ma
Sional power, now more desirable than
ever, in consequence of the altered fea-
lures of the war, viii probably soon be
realized. The Washington correspond
emf Of the Cincinnati Gazette says:
1t is understood that the cavalry, as
well as the infantry regiments now in
the field, are to be filed up to the max
imum by the conscripts now being
drafted.
IL is considered significant of the in
tentisns of the Government, as TO the
further increase of tho use of cavalry,
that orders have just been issued, estab
fishing = separate bureau in the War
Department, to be known as the Cavalry
Bureau.
This is a judicious and timely step.
All who have been in the South feel its
ahsolnte necessity.

A r1entucky siavoholder on Eman-

At the dinner of the Alumni of Dart

Dinsmore, OF Kentucky, amember of the

marks

Colonel Doniphan, of Missouri was @
member of the late Missouri State Con-
v~ertion, from Clay county, one Of the
strongest slaveholding counties in that
State. He is himself a large STAKEHOLDER,
and an ultra pro-slavery man, yet he
gave all his influence and his vote for
tho emancipation ordinance. A like
revolution is going on in the minds of
shareholders in Tennessee. They begin
TO see that the system henceforth will
produce them nothing but trouble and
intolerable dissension and anarchy

neighbor of the Union, but really we

That a man should be "ultra pro-
slavery and emancipationist at the
same time, is q proposition a leetle too
hard for u pnwers.o OF mental digestion.
Perhaps, in the hurry of penning a
paragraph, the Union happened to use
the present when a past tense would make
all clear.-o-Press.

from him by irresistible events, and not

Slavery, our good friend, is q moral,

are opposed to meddling with it because
you don't know what to do with il. 1t

The following story is told by the
Philadelphis Inquirer of July 20:
The latest illustration of stupidity
occurred yesterday in an uptown al
derman's office. The alderman wishing
to sell some property, and make a deed
jointly with his wife, took his wife
aside and asked her whether she was
willing TO sign her name without any
"compulsion or coercion on the part of
her said husband" the alderman himself
being the husband. He then signed the
clause al the foot Of the deed, stating
that he had examined his own wife
separate and apart from her said hus.
