Bulls pride has just been lowered in a
most humiliating manner. For months
the London newspapers have been filed
with accounts of the wonderful ascent of
Mont Blanc and other Alpine mountains

pluck and energy have been praised to

| LOUISVILLE, Sept IS.-Rumors have
been prevalent here the past three DAYS
of the reverses of Gen. Rosecrans' army.
all of which have been discredited by
military authorities. They probably
arise from the fact that Sunday last a
rebel force of $1,000 strong, attacked
Negleys brigade, 300 strong, at Bird
Gap, and drove them three miles. Neg.
ley recovered his ground next morning
with loss of 30 in killed, wounded and
missing. Our forces buried Sc rebels
found on the ground on Monday even
ing. The number of their killed and
wounded which had been removed is mn.
known, but is supposed TO be consider
able.

A 'PREsENTAT1oN.-Pari letters say
that the silver keys of the City of Mex
leo, which were received some time ago
BY the Emperor Napoleon, are just now
the subject of no little satire among the
wits of Paris. 1t has been recently dis
covered, people insist, that the KEYS
were manufactured some months ago in
Paris, after a pattern submitted to the
Emperor and Empress for their appro-
val, and that they were sent to Gen. Fo-
rey, who received them from the Next
cans, to whom they were lent, and then
duly returned them to the Emperor at
Vichy. They are now in military Mu-
scum, with the Mexican guns presented
to the Prince Imperial, and are said to
bear no marks of antiquity. 1t is limited

A PAINT MNE.-A recent number of
the California Farmer contains an ae.
count of the discovery of paint mines
near Martinez. The mine of lead or
ochre substances begins about three
hundred yards from the main street of
Martinez, and extending to very cor
siderable distance along the beach, the
leads go down below the bay, and extend
INTO the banks along the shore to an in
dehnable terminus The experiments
already made exhibit eighty-fopr differ
ent tints, from the most delicate and
soft shades of dove color to the bright
est vermillion. 1t is evident that there
IS material sufficient to supply the limited
States for one hundred years.

The enormous and ruinous prices for all the
essentials of life hang now like night mare over
the people, and damp tie ardour with which
they view in the distance the Ultimate achieve
ment of their liberties from the fact that those
OF them not engaged in speculation, will, when
the war is over, be reduced 70 almost absoiutc
beggary by the prices. Is there 40 remedy for
this /? Have our people tasted 50 deeply of the
blasting fruit of speculation that Is Turing them

cannot forbear while it is yet time With corn
at eight and zine dollars per busnel, meat at S.

adamant, does not bleed as it asks the question,
and suffering and want answer it Walk our
str eets and you squalid poverty and misery
meeting you at every turn, and among persons
who never knew want until this fell demon of ex
tortion and speculation reared its head in the
land. What is to be done The Patriot, he
who esteems his country before his own aggraE
dizement sinks appalled, from the query. Laws
he believes to be powerless to arrest the evil
and his only hope Is in the SpeculatOr himself
This he sees is the only remedy, and he sees,
moreover that if it is not made of speedy avail
we are uEdone. These men now doing for
Lincoln more than the whole North in arms
could do towards our snbjugation, and We warn
them of the terrible dangers that lie right in their

The FATE OF THE EXToRTIoNER.-The Rich
mond Whig draws a lively pictnre of the hereaf
ter of the ExroITIoNER. 1t pussues his corpse
into Hades, ssand in an instant sees his limbs
transformed into gautic skeleton hand instinct
with the fierce, isatiable mania of grasping.--
The body itself is metamorphosed into an enor-
nous heart shaped ike I purse; and into that
heart that hand begins to stuff solid flakes ot fire
: for there is Danght else for the hand to grasp
and the heart is never tu and the hand Is never
weary. But the heart is always about to burst
but never bursts, withthe insutferable torment of
fullness yet the fierce hand VIII never desist
from tarusting fresh fire into it. And SO the
Extortioner is righteously requited in eyerlast-
ing hell.

Hardee,s Tactics Improved.

Z The Salisbury N. Co. Watchman, tells the fol-
lowing, which demonstrates that all ingenuity
is not of Yankee origin md ''Hardee's Tactics
not complete in military orders.
Capt. Osbourne, of Iredeil. North Carolina,
was wounded in the battle OF 31st of May, near
Richmond, while leading his company in charge
on the enemy's batteries. His wound disabled
him and he fell upon the field, where he remain
ed for some time Fearing the enemy might
bayonet him, he drew his revolver and kept a
sharp lookout as the fight progressed. After a
while he saw strong, athletic man coming to-
wards the place he was lying, and discovering
him to be Yankee, he coolly awaited his APP
proach AS soon,,as he came within certain range
of his pistol the Captain hailed him and ordered
hin to surrender. The Yankee took q momenr
tary glance and seeing the Captains pistol was
bearing upon him with steady and deadly aim,
he instantly dropped his rife. ''Throw away
your knife,'' said the Capt. 1t was dene. ssNow
back yourself up to me- was the next command
ssSquat down so that can get upon your back. =
The Yankee was compliant; and the Captain,
with his pistol still bearing upon his trembling
prisoner, crawed upon him, and ordered him TO
march into the Confederate camp. The rider
and the ridden safely arrived at the Captains
headquarters. The former is recovering of his
wounds, and the latter is sad to be among the
prisoners now at this place.
