A TEST CAsE.--It can no longer be said that
the discussion of the question OF what shall
be done with a rebel state is abstraction
for a case IS now presented to the govern
ment for its action. There is a difference of
opinion upon the subject among Union men
in Congress, and quite possibly in the Cabi-
net Mr. Etheridge, OF Tennessee, the clerk
of the last House, asks for an Immediate cleo
ton in that State, as the right of its people
under the constitution Of the United States
It is safe TO say that the government, to
say the least, will not permit disloyal citizens
TO vote The advocates of state rights, and
the opponents of Estate suicide" doctrines
declare that Jhe United States government
cannot disfranchise the citizens of a State,
and that when the President supported Gen.
Schenck in his election order in Maryland, he
committed himself, by an overt act, to Mr..
Summers doctrines. This memorial from
Tennessee will preeipitate discussion upon
this subject in many quarters.-Post.

VERY Few PATIENTS LIvING-A jolly old
fellow had an office next door to a doctors
shop. One day an elderly gentleman of the
old fogy school Numbered into the wrong
shop.
SIS the doctor in :"
Don't live here" said the lawyer who
was in full scribble over some old document
." Oh / thought this was his office"
Next door"
Pray, sir, can you tell me has the doctor
many patients "
Not living
The old gentleman told the story in the vi
cinity, and the doctor threatened he lawyer
with libel.

was the first duty Of soldier" With what
force might it have been retorted upon him,
" Physician heal myself" He was a soldier
in the great army Of Uncle Sam; he served
under the Old flag; he swore, as a Senator Of
the Unite States, to support the Constitution.

4 MISUNDERSTANDING the drafted men
in Milwaukee is Ed. KEoGH, the Milwaukee
correspondent of the Chicago Times the
statesman Of the Sd ward the Simon Tap
ertit of Wisconsin politics. He had pre-
sentiment of his fate, as will be seen by the
following enthusiastic paragraph in his des-
patch to the Times the day before the draft:
4" There is a general feeling Of desponden-
cy pervading all classes not having the ueccs-
sagy means for exemption. This is not
tonishing under the present misconduct Of the
war Unless / am very much mistaken there
will be a great amount of suffering and crime
IL this locality the coming winter. The ad-
yocates of a vigorous prosecution of the war
are not famous for their charity towards the
families of soldiers in the field. They are in
favor of war so long as they are allowed to
remain at home with their families and grow
rich upon the blood Of their fellow man. If
] am among the number called upon to-mor-
row to add TO the already Overlooking hospi-
tails or help TO fill one of the many bitches
prepared for those who fall a prey TO the stu
pdity Of this administration, YOU need not
feel surprised, as | learn that it is the inten-
ton that no copperhead shall escape"

From Chatta l0oga.
From the Nashville Dispatch, Nov.

From ne NaShYlUe UIspaTcH, Nov o.
We conversed, last night, with a gentleman
who left Chattanooga on Tuesday, and he in
formed US that ample supplies for the use of
the army had been received before he left,
and that no apprehension is felt as to future
supplies. Bragg still held Lookout Mountain,
upon which he had a 52-pounder, with which
he fred awhile upon Chattanooga, and then
upon Hooker, who occupied a position below
the mountain, but without accomplishing any
material damage. Our informant states that
large numbers of the inhabitants of Lower
East Tennessee are leaving that section, be
cause of the extraordinary scarcity of the
necessaries of life. They are threatened with
actual starvation if they stay there.

THE ELIMINATING DIFFICULTY.

But the dissatisfaction on this score was
light. compared with what l now name as the
fourth and more immediate reason for the re-
moval: Gen. Rosecrans' voluntary separation
from his Chief of staff At the crisis OF the
battle, and his retiring, " srampeded.N as De
parJment officers arG wont to express it, to
Chattarr oga, while the staff officer insisted
on pressing forward to the front. The Secre-
tarv of War Is understood to have gone so
far. In speaking Of this, rs TO dcuounce it as
an act of absolute cowardice. None of us,
who remember the brilliant personal bravery
with which the hero of Stone River has ilh-
mined SO many triumphant batylefeids Of this
war. can fail 10 regret that any one should
have 50 far forgotten himself and forgotten
the bloody records of our glory as to harbor
such an unworthy thought for an instant: bur
IT cannot be wondered that Gen. Rosecrans'
unfortunate and incNplicable course should
have finished the work the previous irrita-
tiou had begun.
1t viii be remembered that movement
made by Brig Gen. Wood. under a miscon-
ception of orders, opened a gap in the line of
battle, through which the rebels at once
poured. and pulverizcd the right of Gen
Rosecraus' army. The General Stroye fo-
three quarters of an hour TO rally them but in
vain. It was while making this struggle that
Gen. Lvtle was killed within ten or twelve
wards Of him Meantime the advancing rebels
had cut him of from his center and left, and
he was carried back on the tide OF the rout
10 the foot of the mountain and made de
tour OF seven or eight miles While doing
this he met stragglers who said they were
from Negley's command, and that ii was ToUJ-
cd and reJreatiug. He knew that he had
sent NegIey's troops 10 the extreme left.
Accepting their story rs true, and leaping at
once to the conclusion. that if both right and
left were routed. it was a hopeless defeat, he
instantly resolved to hasten al once to Chat
tauooga and prepare to re-organize the strag-
Cling fragments.
L was the fatal mistake of his life. I do
not know that his friends make any defense
for him on this point, except TO say that 1t
VAS an error of military judgment as 10 facts
that, II his understanding of the facts had
. been correct, 1t would nave been the very
best thing for him to DO; and that at any
rate II Is harsh to remove a distinguished
officer for being ona single occasion deceived
| by false information from his soldiers.

OCTOBER AFTERNOON.

Slowly toward the western sky
Sinks the golden October san:
Longer grow the deepening shadows,
And the day is nearly done.
Rosy CLEANS the quiet river
Meath the crimson-tinted sky;
White-winged vessels, wind-forsakeu,
On the wayeless waters lie.
Glow the autumn-tinted valleys,
Or the hills soft shadows rest,
Growing warmer. purple glowing,
As the sun sinks toward the vest.
Slsnting sunlight through the cedars,
Scarlet naples all aglow,
Long rays streaming through the forests
Clean the dead leaves lying low.
Golden sunlight on the corn6elds,
Glittering ripples on the stream,
And the still pools in the meadows
Catch the soft October glsam.
Warmer grow the purple mountains,
Lower sinks the glowing sun,
Boon will fade the streaming sunlight
Bee, the day is nearly done!

R. B. OLorT, Union Co., Pa, in Nov
No. Of the American Agricxlfurist, makes
the following statement: " Some time in
July last, having a queen bee at my dis.
posal, and not wishing to destroy her, l
put her to the entrance of a late second
swarm, in which she entered. Wishing
(Sept. y to use this colony to raise Italian
queens, l removed the queen, and, in
returning the combs, to my astonishment
! found another queen. This puzzled me
considerably, as l never noticed or heard
Of such thing before. l returned the
queen had removed, and then took out
the combs, leaving the two queens and part
Of the bees in the hive. watched them
several hours to see whether the queens
would quarrel if they should meet. The
bees kept . constant running about the
hive, and the queens came in contact
several times, but apparently did not no.
tioe each other, with the exception that
at one time one took hold of the others
wing and held her for q second or so, but
soon passed on. l then transferred the
queens with part of the bees to an obser-
wing hive containing one comb, in order
to notice their actions. When not moles-
ted, the queens moved about the comb
apparently unconcerned. kept them so
for 4S hours, then returned one to the
hive, and gave them an empty comb to
ascertain if these queens were both fertile.
This comb was soon supplied with eggs.
] then removed this queen and introduced
the other, but egg laying continued as be.
fore. l then returned the other queen to
the hive. l have examined the colony
frequently since, and always found the
queens among the bees, but never on the
same comb. Whether one of these queens
was that which had introduced in July,
l car not say, but it appears likely. This
veri6es the old saying that there are ex-
csptions to all rules. Has similar case
been noticed before! l shall endeavor if
possible to winter this swarm, to ascertain
if these queens will remain together
whole season"
HONEY FROM ITALIAN BEES.
Mr.. Olott, in answer to questions in the
Sept Agricultural. page 269, concerning
the quality Of the honey gathered by
italian Bees, writes to the following pur-
port. He has kept them two seasons, and
considers them so per cent more prolific
than the common sort The honey this
season be thinks superior, which he says
is due to the fact that in his neighbor-
hood there was great surplus Of cherries,
from which, as they decayed, the common
bees gathered considerable stores, while
the Italians we're busy with red clover.
They also worked among it while the 9th.
ers we're among the buckwheat blossoms.
He says the Italian will gather almost -
much from the second crop of red clover,
as is usually secured from buckwheat
We should like to hear further evidence,
particularly with regard to their ability to
draw honey from red clover-s point not
yet admitted.
