no more are received for them. That il

@s- The general order made by Briga.
dier General Boyle, prohibiting the distil.
lation of grain in Kentucky, has been SC
far modified as only to prohibit distilla-
| ton from Corn. That will probably i'm
prove the quality Of ''Old Bourbon" II
they can't make it of corn they will have
to make it of rye, which, We believe, il
what the genuine ought to be made of.
w. The notorious John Morgan is said
to have succeeded in making his way
through Kentucky and Tennessee and is
once more in his beloved Dixie. We are
really sorry. We were in hopes that he
would be caught and safely held in custo.
| dy until the end of the war, and then
being duly tried for his treason, made an
exhibition of the handy-work of "Jack
Ketch." But the fates seem to favor him
this time. Whether they will continue to
do so to the end is another question. But
we have unbounded confidence of his COM
ing to the gallows at the end of his career,
either here or elsewhere. So industrious
horse-thief-so confirmed a villain, can
not anticipate any other sort of "wiping
OUT He wont do us much more harm,
we guess. He wont care to risk his neck
north of the Ohio again. ..u
@ The Butternuts Of Porkopolis, COM
monty known as Cincinnati, have galvan-
lied the very Reverend Henry Clay Dean,
and suffered penance in listening to one of
his luminous talks on Thursday evening of
last week. The Commercial, of that city,
describes the effort of the pious and patri-
otto gentleman from Iowa, and does it well.
We cannot say that full justice was done
the devout advocate of treason-the sincere
lover of traitors. That of course is quite
beyond human ability. But it makes as
near an approach to it as possible. 1t must
have been interesting, that exhibition of
the greasy cur, and we can all imagine the
delight of his Butternut audience at the
''splurging' of the Iowa Butternut! Go it
Dean-we don't know anything more like
ly to work good than your talk.
Franklin township is not going to
stand the draft. We learn that money has
been raised sufficient to pay to each yolun-
teer 5000. This, with the Government
bounty, makes over $500 to every recruit.
Of course, if money will hire men at all,
they will go for this sum.
w. A great Fair for the benefit of the
Sanitary Commission opens, to-day, at
the Music Hall, in Boston. Among sother
attractions to be offered, one is a grand
concert on the magnificent Organ recently
put up in the Hall. Numerous novelties
in the way of exhibitions, curiosities,
works of art, of which Boston has in its
private circles probably more and better
than any city in the Union, and an i'm
doubtless draw immense crowds and fill
up the Hall through the whole week, dur
ing which the Fair will continue. We bet
it is a success. The "Yankees' always
make it rule to succeed in what they un-
dertake.
To- The Chicago Tribune has dispatch
from Halifax of the 18th, saying that the
Chesapeake was seized on the morning of
that day, in Sambro Harbor, by the Ella
and Emma. Soon after the seizure the Da-
cotah reached the place, and ordered her
into Halifax, where the three vessels were
at the time the dispatch was sent. All the
pirates but three made their escape. We
presume the dispatch states the facts. II
so, the piratical adventure did not prove of
much service to the rascals. 1t will prove
useful to us however, by making the Off
GERS of our Coasting steamers a little more
cautious about those they receive on board.
Va The new State of Virginia is rapidly
becoming "Yankeetied.' 1t has actually
"gone and done divided its several coun-
ties into townships, a thing unheard of be-
lore IN all Dixie s Lana mat Is 100
bad 1t is horrible to think that it should
be contaminated with one Of the Yankee
institutions, isn't it?
Vs. The prize fight between John c..
Heenan and King, in England, was TO
come off on the Sth inst. The result will
he announced from the other side very
soon. If both are Thoroughly basted,"
we imagine no one, outside the "Fancy"
circles, will seriously regret it.
rs The report that Gen. Meagher was
captured by the rebels is denied. He is said
to be guest of Gen. Corcoran and the Off
GERS of his legion, at Fairfax Court House.
We guess Meagher knows how to take care
of himself. He knows how to fight and the
man who is up to that is seldom caught
mapping by rowing bands of guerrillas.
