may verv soon look for some stirring news
from the Trans- Mississippi Department. We
have now West of the Mississippi, Lieut. Gen.
Kirby Smith, Gen. Price, Gen. Magruder and
Gen. SibIey. Gen. Smith has been placed at
the head of the department, and has already is>
sued an order announcing that fact. Gen. Price
it is understood, will head the field movements
for the redemption Of Arkansas and his own
State, Missouri; Gen. Sibley is moving to an
important ooiIt, from where he will be heard
from soon ; and Gen. Magruder's field of oper.
alton is Texas.
OF the strength Of our armies and the situa-
tion of affairs in the Trans. Mississippi Depart.
ment, it would not be prudent for us to speak.
1t is only proper now to announce that new
order of things has been inaugurated, from
which the most important results may be an

Not long since there appeared squad
OF men at Fort Smelling for tho purpose
Of Joining the leg 'ment of Mounted Ran
ycr., for Indian fighting. The orderly
IN charge wasvery bpyish looking, but
Of singulaIlv neat and colder Ike ap
pearance. The morning reports from
he squad were neatly and correctly
made ont and were always the first re-
eeivcd at the headquarters Of the Colo
mel, the young ORDERLY taking them up
and delivering them without word, but
giving always the proper salute in the
most graceful manner.
OF course such apparently extreme
youth aud fine soldieIly qualities did
not escape the vigilant eye Of the Colo
mel, who believing tho young soldier
under eighteen made up his mind that
he hsd run away from his parents, and
so told HIM, but he assured HIM he
wonld vet Obtain their written consent
TO the enlistment. Thus matters passed
along for several days.
About this time the highly esteemed
daughter OF respectable farmer in an
interior county Of Minnesota, suddenly
disappeared, and n, tr ces coud be
tound OF her. From remarks that she
made to he- mother, wishing she WAS a
man, so that she could volunteer and
hunt down the Indians, &c, a suspicion
WAS aroused that she might have under
taken to carry her wishes into effect
The father proceeded to Fort Smelling
where, in our ysnng hero, he found his
daughter, and went 10 the Colonel to
get his son discharged on account Of be
ing under age but the Colonel told him
be would have to take certain legal steps
before he could he discharged. This
wond not do, M they would no sooner
disclose the secret in court than in
camp. As last resor, the young man
was introduced to the Colonel AS the
daughter OF the old gentleman, and she
was then promptly discharged. The Col
onel Las, however, kept their secret, ard
10 this day the soldiers forming hcr
squad do not know the facts about their

NOW Is the TINE.

This is Just precisely the time for the
friends Of the Constitution as it 10 to
prepare heavy blow, and organize over
whelmiog defeat for the enemies Of the
Governmen ut and the foes Of democratic
principles. We wish to see the work
commenced early, and pursued with Wig
or. We wish to have every democrat
come forward to organize victory. TIM
can only be done by striking early sno
keeping no the assault. The com'nl
State campaign is to be one OF more
than ordinary importance. The people
as mass are becoming tired aud dr.
gustcd with the overbesring and iyran-
nica acts OF the Administration. The.
have watched i,s laundering manage
mcnt of the atiaile of tins Government ;
they have seen their fellow citizens
dragged from their homes aud thrown
into loathesome dnngcors without
shadow Of authority or the most remote
charge. They have seen the nsh :
guaranteed to them BY the Constitution
ignored and trampled upon in the most
flag, ant and outrageous manner-,hey
have seen the hand Of tyranny and OPP
preston grsspipg after this last right,
aud invading their most sacred prlyi>
leges. 1t would be folly to say that the
peoplc-thc conservative masscs which
make up ths best portion OF society
are not opposed to this usurpation
They are most emphatically opposed to
it, and are in the right mood to strike At
the cause OF their troubles. They arr
