How AMERICAN SOLDIERS BEHAvE.-Ihe city Is
full of soldiers. The parks and public places are
thronced with them. They jostle against one at
almost every step in the streets. The NUMBER OF
troons now concentrated here. or in this vicinity,
is not exactly known; and if it were there mgnt
be some impropriety in stating it. What we wish
TO call attention to now, is the exemplary conduct
of this large army of soldiers, as class. Ihey
have now been in the city, to which most OF them
were strangers before-nearly week Iempta.
tons to drunkenness and dissipation are all about
them. 1t is obviously impossible to enforce the
rules which usually govern the conduct OF armies
as strictly here as in the field Of active service.
Under these circumstances, the temperate and
ouiet behavior of these soldiers Is truly remarkable
tfley commit no affrays in the streets Not cltl-
zen writes to the newspaper that he is nsulted by
them. They are not seen reeiing, drunken along
the sidewalks. The police do not have occasion
to arrest any of them-or, at any rate, we never
hear of such arrests. They give no more trouble
to the city authorities than the same NUMBER OF
other peaceable strangers coming here Tor business
or pleasure 1t may be said that no speciai creait
is dne to them for behaving decently but it should
he remembered that, in other countries, where
cities and towns are garrsoned by soldiers, serl-
ous difficulties between the military and civilians
are continually occurring. Self-respect and re-.
gard for the feelings of others may be justly set
down as eminent traits of the American SOLDIER

Our GENERALS IN THE SoUTH.-Tbe New York
Times, in speaking of the grand demonstration in
honor of Gen. Banks at New Orleans and the
grand ovation and banquet to Gen. Grant at Men,
phis, says:
These manifestations in the conquered districts
of the South, are very significant and valuable,
and utterly disprove the assertions of the rebels
that the whole people of the South entertain an
ineradicable hatred to the army and people of the
North. When the war is over, the most popular
men in the South will be the Generals AMI soldiers
who have crushed the rebellion, and saved the
Union and the Southern people; and the most de-
tested men will be Jeff. Davis and those traitors
who attempted to ruin. them. If Gen. Gilmore
captures Charleston, we expect that within year
or two the people of that city will elect him to
Congress.

A Soldiers Life.
'Tis gay to lead soldiers life,
To STRUT about and wear fine clothes,
When far removed from war and strife,
You have no fear Of ambushed toes.
But tits not thus our patriots fare,
Who rallied at their Countrys call,
Who every fee and peril dare,
And swear to conquer or to fall.
They fought and bled on many field,
And proved their words in action brave,
Quick to obey but slow to yield,
Their names will live beyond the grave.
No "draft" or "bounty" needed then,
To make them fight for freedoms cause,
And teach their foes that they were men
Who loved their country and its laws.
Then who would scorn soldier true,
Who far from friends, with foes contest
Their Flag-the old Red, White and Blue,
The emblem of the free and blest!

flag Presentation.

Editors LnteLiigencer
The usually quiet little town of Web
ster was all astir on Thursday evening,
and many persons of both sexes assembled
at the camp of company O, 4th regiment,
West Virginia volunteer caValry,to witness
the presentation of a flag to the company
by the ladies of the vicinity.
The company has been recruited by capt
R. O. Arbuckle, of Webster, and NUMBER
ninety-two members, all OF whom reside IN
the immediate neighborhood and will forth
with join the regiment now being organic
ed at Petersburg by Col. Paxton under
the six months call.
Notwithstanding the unpropitions state
of the weather-the rain falling in tor
rents the fore part of the evening, to the
discontinue OF visitors from a distance
the muster of fair equestrians was con-
siderable, and plainly testified to the IN
terest taken in the proceedings.
About e o'clock the troop was formed IN
order of parade, and presently an amou-
lance approached with deputation ofyoung
ladies, consisting Of Misses Fannie A:
Holden, Vic. Burdett, Sue Burdett ana
Jennie Kemble, bearing the flag. The Ia
dies were courteously received, and at once
proceeded with the ceremony, Miss Holden
presenting the flag with neat and appro-
pirate speech; and here an amusing INCL
dent occurred. The animal which Capt
Arbuckle bestrode, having strong secession
proclirities, it is presumed, positively re-
fused to advance one step toward the ODD
feet of his dislike, the banner of beauty
and glory, and manifested strong desire
to fall back without orders. After many
abortive, though energetic attrmpts to
check the backward movement of his horse
the gallant Captain was fain to dismouut
and accept the present on foot.
On receiving the flag, Capt Arbuckle
adverted feelingly to the cause in which
they were engaged, and in the course OF
his remarks pledged himself and his men
to stand by their flag through all forth
coming struggles and preserve ITS honor
as pure and untarnished as they received It,
Turning TO his men he called upon them
to endorse this pledge, which they did so
emphatically as to fully insure the fair
donors that their gift was not misplaced
The proceedings were abbreviated by in
dications of a storm and the spectators
dispersed in groups to the various dwell
ling houses aud hotels in the town.
The Captain and his immediate friends,
including the ladies and several gentle
men connected with the Post Quarter Mas
ter's Department, adjourned to the house
of Mr.. G. E. Jarvis, where the evening was
agreeably closed with music and social
converse.
We would say with regard to Capt. Ar
buckles company, that finer body OF men
cannot be found in the ranks of the Union
army. The officers are intelligent and
efficient, and under the leadership of man
OF Col. Paxton's known ability and plnck
they will certainly render a good account
of themselves.

CoPPERHEADs croak against the con-
scription of the "despotic Lincoln Govern
ment"-and denouuce the cruelty of Fed
aral officers in enforcing it. Thus with
malignant mischievousness they essay to
cripple and weaken the Administration
But these base politicians find no act OF
cruelty in the dimensions of JEFF. Davis,
ito condemn. In the North, the couscrip.
stion is made as light and easy as it can
be, and be enforced at all. 1t is in the
South alone where cruelty, in the enforce
ment of conscriptions can be complained
of-cruelty, we may sa fely say, unknown
outside of savage communities.
The Memphis Bulletin, of late date,
publishes the following general order,
read to his brigade by the acting Adjutant
General of that monster, the rebel guer-
rilla Richardson. Northern men liable to
do military duty, may rejoice that they are
not subject to the merciless conscriptions
of rebellion, as they read the following:
81. Every man of this command is ex-
pected strictly to obey all orders which the
commanding General may deem necessary
for the discipline, or for the success of the
cause in which we are engaged.
M2. Commanders of companies are here
by ordered to make detail from their re-
spective companies, for the purpose of en-
forcing the conscript laws passed by the
Confederate States Congress-. =
These details shall be empowered, and they
are hereby ordered, to rigidly enforce the
laws of the Confederate States.
o3. Every white man, between the ages
of Is and As, in the district of West Ten
nessee, is hereby ordered to report imme-
diately at such place of rendezvous as may
hereafter be designated. Commanding of
ficers of companies are hereby ordered to
strictly enforce this order. The following
rules of procedure are given for the gov
eminent of company officers and priVatess
who may be engaged in the execution OF
section three of these orders.
EIf a man should absent himself from
his home to avoid this sorder, burn his
house and other property, except those as
may be useful to this command.
'If "a man is found to resist the execu-
ton, by refusing to report, shoot him
down and leave him lying.
"If man takes refuge in his house and
offers resistance, set the house on fire and
guard it, in order that the recusant may
not get out"
Satan himself could not have invented
a more consummate heartless style of vii.
liany and torture than the above. What
will Western Tennesseans think of the
liberty loving rulers of their Conf ederacy
after such an exhibition as this?

is not Ashamed to be put forward
he that did not labor is not ashamed
to enter into the enjoyment and rewards
of other mems labors. Better hundred
times send the most incousiderable man in
the Kanawha Valley to Congress, provided
only he was true when Summers was un-
true. These are no times for such men as
Judge Summers. No one has any right
to say that he can be trusted. Beside, it is
to set the reward of popular appreciation
upon infdelity, and to say to men in the
future, "thers is more likelihood that those
of you who are unfaithful will be reward
ed than those of you who are faithful" 1t
will be, in moral effect, to say to the
youths of West Virginia: remember
to do always as Judge Summers did
viz turn your face away from your peo-
pie in the hour of their extremity, and for
SO doing they will more certainly reward
you than if you make common cause with
them and lead them through to victory"
We sincerely trust that the idea of rum
ming Judge Summers for Congress in the
Kanawha Valley is not seriously entertain
ed by any great number of people. The
moral effect of SO doing cannot bat be
depIorable.

ANoble Heroine.

The Missouri Democrat has received
from its correspondent at Jefferson City
the following order. 1t explains Itself
a splendid revolver, worth 500, is to be
presented to the heroine, Miss Schwartz,
by Acting Governor Hall, on behalf lof
Missouri. The testimonial is we'll de-
served;
HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT CENTRAL No., 4
JEFFERSON Cry, Aug. 8, 1868.
General Order No. AZ.
On the night of the 9th inst, party of
bushwackers, some three in number, visit
ed the house of Mr.. Schwartz, about twelve
miles from Jefferson City, in Cole county,
and on demanding admittance, they were
refused by Miss Schwartz, young lady of
fifteen. They replied they would come in !,
at the same time trying to break down the
door. While this was going on, the other
inmates of the house, viz Mr.. Schwartz,
John Wise, Captain Golden, Government
horse dealer, and young man in his en-
ploy all left, taking with them as they
supposedly all the arms and ammunition.
In their hasty retreat they left behind a re-
| yolver, which Miss Schwartz appropriated
to her own use. She went to the door, land on
opening H. pE6seuIeu tu0 PASIoA W SuS
leader of the gang, telling them to 'come
on If they wanted TO, and that some of them
should fall, or she would" They threat
ened to kill her if she did not leave the
door. She replied: "The first one who
takes ono step tosrdrds this door dies, for
this Is the house Of my parents, and my
brothers and sisters, and I am able to, and
shall defend it," Seeing that she was de-
termined in her purpose, and after holding
a consultation together, they left.
Here is an instance of true courage, a
young girl of fifteen years of age, after all
the inmates of the house, even her father,
had fed, leaving her alone to her fate, with
the courage worthy of Joan of Arc, bold
ly defending her native home against three
bloodthirsty aud cowardly ruffians, and by
her GOODNESS and heroic daring succeeded
in turning them from their hellish designs.
1t is with feelings of NO ordinary pride
and pleasure the Commanding General
announces this act to the citizens in his
, District. On the other hand, those miser-
able towards who deserted this brave girl
in the hour of her danger, flying from the
house, leaving her to her fate, are unwor-
thy the name of men, deserve the scorn
and contempt of the community at large,
and whose society should be stunned by
every one who has the least spark of honor
or bravery within them.

Complaining Rebels.

Every southern paper is growing about
something. The Richmond correspondent
of the Mobile Tribune says:
1--WE are now in the very throes of this
revolution. The bloody sweat and agony
of our labor for the birth of liberty are
upon MS. All hopes of peace have become
obseured by an impenetrable gloom. AT
every point Of the compass from which we
looked for fair wind and bright sky,
dark storm-c clouds threaten and lower
The time has come when every State in
this coufederacy must depend upon itself
Let blind adherents and partisans close
their eyes, but the people must awaken to
the fact that our government lacks yigor,
health aud strength. This is no time to
inquire into the cause of its debility or in
ability, but the fact has been too long ap-
parent, that a morbid distemper has ex-
hibited itself in the exercise of its Juno
tons"
The Tennessee correspondent of the
Aemphis appeal says that heis urged by an
officer of high rank to press it home upon
the people ''that nothing will save us under
the blessing of God except recruiting our
army by the addition of every man, what.
ever his age, capable Of military service
In our present extremities this may save
us, and nothing else will"
