zen Of Nsshyille--a gentleman who has
led quiet, unobtrusiye life, and has al

opinions. His country Is contending
with Southern radical fanAticism, which
seeks 10 overthrow our free institutions,

went Brough to man, we should

-Vallandigham boastcd that he
t'never voted for soldier TO carry on
this war" and hardly a soldier voted
for him!
Cincinnati, the pork city, likes

Nor are they confined to the United

Dropping Stars.

The Murfreesboro correspondent of the
Jackson (Miss.,) appeal tells how The
very mules have begun to bite the rebel
stars from their orbits
General Folks battle-fag at Shiloh
was blue field, with large red cross
containing thirteen white stars, the long
bar Of the cross running horizontally, OF
with the fly. Before we entered Ken
lucky the General concluded TO modify
his flag by bordering the edge of the
red flag with white, and sent TO Stan
ford's Battery for its flag as pattern.
Snow, it happened, by some careless
ness, that the mules had gotten hold Of
our flag and torn off one end containing
two of the stars; so, when the new flags
were distributed, each one in the divis
ion was found to contain eleven stars on :
ly, and thus they remain, the General
perhaps never noticing the difference.
Let JEFF. DAVIS take warning. His
kingdom was founded by asses, and il
will be destroyed by ignOble mules.
