Brough and the Militia.

The editor of the Urbdnd Union thus
speaks of the recent call of the Governor
for National Guards:
We have already had occasion to speak of
the wanton call of our people to serve one
hundred days at this time, which is a1mit-
ted to be the meddling contrivance of Mr..
John Brough and other pragmatical Gov
ernors of the West.
To talk of the patriotism of the young men
| in turning out so promptly, is provoking
nonsense, when by the very terms Of the
| law they would be treated as deserters from
| the service into which they had been drawn
! by false representation of Mr.. Brough's
Adjutant General.
Mr.. John Brough had no authority what
ever to call out these men, for the section
which gives him power to call them, con-
| fines him to the single cases OF suppressing
insurrection and repelling inyasion-and
that is insurrection within Ohio, and an in
vasion of it.
The section reads thus:
THAT the enrolled militia of this State
shall be liable to be called into actual SER
vice by order Qfthe Governor, in case Of in
uasion, or the danger thereof, or to prevent in
rdsion, riot or insHrectton."
But the consummation Of outrage is his
proposal that the Secretary of War shall
exempt these hundred day men, from the
three years. draft, and for the base reason
that the hundred day men are Republicans,
and by relieving them from draft an equal
number of copperheads, as he calls them,
may be caught. 1t was well understood
that Democrats were quietly passed by
when the conspirators were raising these
companies, but it was supposed that the
knavery would not be so openly avowed.
oh chn hi nm of Io w
or his utter disregard ofit,in proposing to ask
the Secretary of War to make any such ex-
emption. The Secretary has no power what
ever to do so, and If he should dare to make
the attempt, the whole draft in Ohio
would be vitiated, even If the draft were
lawful, which it is not, but sheer usurpa-
ton.

Rattle Incidents.

The special correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Inquirer writes, under date of Thurs
day:
aThe rebel prisoners captured within the
past four days are quartered In an open
field, about five miles south of Fredericks-
burg. They are so numerous that at dis
tance they have the appearance of divi-
sion of soldiers, ready to be moved forward
into action. A strong guard surrounds
them, and so large space of ground do they
occupy, that 1t takes nearly regiment of
men to keep guard over them.
Each division of the different army
corps have temporary hospitals erected
about two miles in the rear of General
Headquarters. Numberless tents have been
erected for the accommodation of the
wounded, and the different routes leading
to them are filled with ambulanccs, con-
tanning the sufferers by the fierce conflict
of the morning. The number of the woun-
ded is so great that not enough ambulances
are at hand to convey all from the battle
field to the hospitals, and consequently
baggage wagons, ammunition wagons, and
various other modes of conveyance are re-
sorted to to bear off the wounded to the
different quarters.
"All who are able to walk are threading
their way from the front to the rear and ur-
gently inquiring the location of the hospi-
tails of their respective divisions. Amputa-
tions of legs and arms are hourly occur
.rences, and the surgeons are at present
among the busiest men in the army. Thou-
sands of the wounded are being transferred
to Fredericksburg, where they are tempo
rarily quartered in the stores and even pri
vate dwelling houses, prev )us to being sent
north by way of Belle Plain, where trans
ports are in readiness to convey them to
Washington and other points north. Many
of the slightly wounded are walking to
Fredericksburg, thirteen miles distant from
the battle field, and they can be seen strung
all along the road.
"a piece of strategy of General Lee was
displayed during the day, which, if it had
been carried into successful effect, would
have materially deranged the plans OF Gen.
Grant. He had been massing troops in
front of our centre for the purpose of break
ing our line of battle at that point, and as a
blind, had sent two brigades of infantry to
make demonstration on our right, in or
der to draw the attention of Gen. Grant to
that point. 1t so happened that both rival
Generals had conceived the same idea mt the
same time, for both were strengthening
their centres for an assault"

ARotten Conxention.

The following highly important dispatch
appeared in our telegraphic report yester-
day morning:
A mass State Convention was called at
Beaufort, 5. c., for the 18th of May, to Sc.
lect delegates to the Baltimore Convention.
A similar movement Is reported on foot in
Florida.
This is about as cool an operation as the
history of these singular times affords.
Sonth Carolina to be represented in the
Baltimore Convention! There are not twen-
ty citizens of the entire State of South
Carolina within the neck of land covered
by our lines. Do the miscegens propose to
admit our unfedged African brother to
their Presidential councils? 1t is time that
the Radicals bolted from Mr.. LINCOLN, and
repudiated the Baltimore Convention, for
under the operations of Mr.. LINCoLN's
strategy there is not the ghost of chance
for fair nomination. Mr.. LINCoLN's
ofice-holders, probably assisted by the
multitude of female New England teach
ers, will fix up delegation for their
master, and fix the stigma of disloyal-

tory of rotten boroughs and false elections
affords no instance equal to this in impu-
dence or villainy. JOHN CANDLEBox CAL

idaw Mr.. LINCOLN procured the butch
cry of a thousand good men and soldiers in
order to get the Capital of Florida to give
his presidential schemes the show of legal
o fly and fairness; but as the expedition fail
ed he has concluded to cast aside even the
pretense Of fairness, and secure the bene-
fits without attempting to conceal the
shameful corruption. Their submission to
such impudent and shameless impositions
illustrates the natural subservience and SER
Witty of the Abolitionists. Such an at

condemnation of any other party; but the
Abolitionists are happiest when ridden by

THE NEWS.

Considerable excitement was created yes
tertlay by bogus proclamation, purporting
10 emanate from President LINCOLN, order
ing conscription for four hundred thou
sand more. The report was officially con-
tradicted in the afternoon by Secretary
SEWARD; but we give the proclamation as
an ingenious, though disreputable SELL
Last nights telegraphic dispatches report
that there is rumor that there will soon
be draft for three hundred thousand men.
By reason of these reports, and on account
of the prevailing uneasiness in the public
mind, gold went up to ls4 and closed at
1888.
There is nothing new from the field of
military operations, and it is understood
that there isa cessation of hostilities for the
present.

Horned woman.

Somebody who has seen whereof he speaks
writes from Larnaca, In the island of Cy-
p~us, to the New York Observer, an elaborate
account of woman living at Livadia, in
Cyprus, who has horns growing out of her
heads
| at once dispatched asecret agent, and
succeeded after few days in obtaining a
sight of this most wonderful cornigerous
creature. She told me, viva voee, that she
had suffered greatly from this affliction, and
would never have revealed it. but for a
vision she had lately, wien an old man with
silvery hair and long flowing beard pre-.
sented himself to her, leaning ON crutch,
and warned her not to conceal 1t longer
that it was from God apo tOu 1heou,
and that He would afflict her even
more IL she concealed it any longer.
She at once confessed to the priest,
and then revealed her mysterious cond:-
tion. She has one horn on the side of her
head three or four inches long, and an inch
In circumference, besides three or four
cornicles on other parts of the head, one of
which she says she broke off. 1t is now In
possession of the French doctor of thia
place. These horns are attached to the
skin Of the head, and not to the bone. re-
sembling In texture and appearance the
horns of goat-not the silver horn of the
Druze woman, but as much part of her
as her hair or head. She has been visited
by nearly all the consuls and Europeans in
this place, some of whom are making an eff
fort to secure her for exhibition in Eu-
rope.
Another letter to gentleman of New
York says that one of the horns "is equal
in size to an ordinary rams horn" The

man one hundred thousand francs to go to

The Battles ON Red River.

The Houston (Texas) Telegraph states
that Gen. Dick Taylor, the son Of President
Zachary Taylor, made the attack upon
Banks, which resulted in so great victory
for the Confederates, without orders from
Gen. Smith, and contrary to the advice of
many officers. The Telegraph adds:
. "We captured in the two battles thirty
two pieces of artillery, and small arms be-
yond computation, and about four thousand
prisoners, many officers among them. These
are the greatest battles fought west of the
Mississippi, and of all the victories the most
fruitful. The invasion of Texas is no longer
to be thought of, and probably the COM
plcte evacuation of Western Louisiana by
the enemy, besides relieving the pressure
on Arkansas, which Gen. Price may be en-
abled to regain. l should here state that
General Taylor fought these battles contra
ry to the opinion of others, and he has
eclipsed the fame of his father, old Rough
and Ready"

SIoddy Dash.

In noticing instances of foolish extrava-
gance, so prevailing at this time in the
great Metropolis, the New York Tribune re-
lates the following: 1--WE heard the other
day of most ridiculous dash made by a
New Yorker of reported wealth now, but
not long ago a citizen of Rochester in very
moderate circumstances. The distinguish
ed gentleman made his appearance in
modated. Close by was his wife in sep
arate carriage drawn by two horses--with
servants in livery as above. Next came
another carriage yaith like appointments
containing the children of the very distin-
guished couple. Could more ludicrous or
a more melancholy spectacle be presented
for the contemplation of mcnof sense?"

BUTLER.-J. F. Whipple, halter, doing
business in New York, was sworn before
committee to inquire into the contracts OF
the government, and detailed transaction
with General Butler and his staff. Mr..
Whipple had with him samples of hats and
caps. He says:
General Butler took sample in his
hand and came up to me and asked me the
price. ] told him SIS per dozen, 5 per cent.
off for cash in hand. The General said,
Now the question is this, and we might as
well talk it right out-caD you let lis have
six thousand at your price, giving my quar-
termaster ten per cent. to divide round?
"Mr. Whipple told the General he had
mistaken his man."-New Haven (Conn.)
Register.
This is a Major General in the United
States army. Plenty of such charges are
made against him, yet the government will
not order his conduct to be investigated by
a court martial.

The Cape Girardeau, Mo-, Argus, prefixes
the above Endorsement to the following
tough story:
"A citizen of this place, walking In the
woods, found nest ofyoung mocking birds.
He placed the nest in cage, which he hung
upon the same tree, thinking that the mother
could take better care than he of her brood.
Visiting his young family upon the follow
ing Sunday, he found to his surprise that
the birds had all disappeared, and in the
bottom of the cage was coiled up large
black snake, so swollen that he could not
get out of the hole through which he had
entered. Indignant at the audacity OF
the fellow, and burning with revenge,
he carried his snakeship to burning lime
kiln and placed him upon heated rock,
when to his surprise the snake burst open,
and the five young birds flew out, but were
SO scorched by the fire that he could not
save them. The name OF the gentleman is
Mr.. Charles Hunse.

The STRONGEST BANK IN THE, WORLD
The Bank of Genoa, which has been in ex
istence hundreds Of years, has, perhaps,
proved itself the strongest institution of the
kind In the world. 1t Is remarkable fact
in history, that its administration has al
ways been as permanent and unchangeable
as that of the republic has been agitated
and fluctuating. No alteration ever took
place in the mode of governing and regu-
lating the affairs of the bank; and two SOW
ereign and independent powers at war with
each other, have been within the walls of
the city, without producing the slightest
shock to the bank or causing 1t to secrete
any Of its books or treasures. sssr

RAILWAYS IN CHINA.-The rice fields of
China. like the jungles of India, will soon
echo the snort of the locomotive engine
The same mastery mind which has achiev-
ed such successes in opening the British East
India possessions to commerce and civiliZa-
ton, through the instrumentality OF modern
railway improvements, proposes to wake up
the sleepy followers of Confucius by the use
ofsimilarmeans. Sir Macdonald Stephenson
is now in China to see what can be done III
this respect. Beside the commercial adyan-
tages realized by India since the introduc-
ton of railways, no influence has been
more potential i'm eradicating prejudices,
abolishing caste, bigotry and ignorance,
The railway, therefore, is great moral
engine. and its advent into the Celestial en-
pire will be hailed by every friend of en-
iightened civilization. The natural ditficul-
ties, though perhaps greater than in India,
are not insurmountable. Railway enter
prise, moreover, will be favored to an ex-
traordinary degree by the cheapness Of
labor in China, and it is even surmised that
an extensive opening for remunerative
employment would exert powerful infiu-
ence in restoring the country to order by
affording means of subsistence to many who
now join the rebel armies or live by plunder.
