AN INCIDENT.-During the recent advance
of the rebels towards Jefferson City Nissnu
ri, young man having charge cf store
near Boeuf Greek Bridge. was subjected 10
novel mode of treatment by the invaders.
and one not altogether agreeable to person
of strong temperance proeiivties. Two rebel
horsemen first dashed into the town and
called at the house of Colonel Reese. Their
summons was answered by II young lady
and to their inquiry to the Colonels
whereabouts, she replied tts,t he had left for
Washington two days previously They in
timated that they had important business
with him, and after stating who and what
they were, bowed gracefully to the yoang
lady and dashed sway. They then proceeded
to the store of which the young man alluded
to had charge. A.tcr = few words of conver-
saton, thev asked Rim who lie intended to
vote for, and he replied that he thought IA
vorably of Mcclellan. They responded to
the effect that they hoped he wouldn't do any
such thing; that they preferred to have Lin
cold elected; that they "knew Lincoln was
id fool, but didn't know so well about
McClellan; - that he might be a smart man.
and that the South might not be so sure of
success under him as snder Lincoln. Having
expressed themselvesin substance as above,
they called for whisky, and liberal supply
of the article was brought forward, of which
they partcok fFesly., Every time they drank,
however, they insisted upon the young mans $
joining them and drinking an equal quantity
with them. Not being accustomed to such
strong potations, the young man soon fell
into a state of Inconsistencies, and while in
that condition his rebel visitors took their
departure. As soon as they were out of sight
few Of the lady friends of the young man
came to his rescne, and finally succeeded in
restoring him to consciousness. lie had
barely become sober, however, before another
party of rebels dashed isto the town, and
subjected him to like mode Of treatment !;
and after them another party, SO that for a
period of four days he was kept dead drank
the greater portion of the time. He relates
his experience now with great deal ef sober
earnestness.

Following is an extract from the Richmond
Wing of June 4th, 1861:
This vast region (the SouthJ, inhabited by
a people who are bred from childhood to
borsemanship and the use of arms, and who
know what liberty is, and love and adore it,
is proportioned out for suhjogation by this
disgusting Yankee race, who don't know how
to load a gun, and look contemplate on horse
back. That they may be drilled into respec-
table military machines by the Virginian who
commands them, is likely enough; but with
out disjointing the eternal fitness Of things,
and dislocating the order of nature, that they
should become capable of empire, is simply
absurd. Grant that mere brute force should
enable them to overrun the land, like cloud
of Eastern locusts, their reign would pass
with themselves. They possess not one quail
ity that fits them for command. Since their
beginning as a nation, they have never yet
produced a general or a statesman. That sis
an effort beyond their ability. But far or
ganizing hotels, working machinery. and 9TH

smart chance" of a General that Sheridan 5
cavalry ride very respectfully, and that con
siderable number of the plebian Yankees
shoot with astonishing precision. 1t is true,
however. that '' the order of things" has been
a good deal "dislocated," especially in the
Confederacy; but we guess the " eternal fit
ness" is all right. The foregoing is a fair
specimen of the gascon trash with which
Southern newspapers feed those of their peo-
pie who can read. 1t is probable that they
are better informed by this time. What in
formation they failed to obtain from school
houses they have probably learned from
grave yards.

CANDLEs.-Human fat. like that of other
animals, has been frequently employed for
various purposes. A story is told Of an Irish
tallow chandler. who, during the invasion Of
CrnmwelFs army, made candles with the fat
of Englishmen. which were remarkable for
their good guilty; but when the times be-
came more tranquil his goods were Of an
inferior kind, and when ore Of his customers
complained of his candles falling of, he
apologised by saying. II am sorry to inform
you that the times are 80 bad that I have
been short of Englishmen for long time"

session of the Pennsylvania Legislature

calls upon the Legislature to take some
action tor the defense Of the State He
speaks of the support rendered by Penn
sylvania 10 the General Government. and
says the State has fulfilled all her obliga-
tions. Pennsylvania has a right to be
deleuded by the national forces as part
of the common country. After slluding
70 the several iuNasions ui the State hv

North and SOsitEs.

There is one Of which our people may
be assured, the leading rebels of the
South. who have 5taked their all upon
this rebellion, do not desire anything more
than the reelection of Abraham Lincoln.
IF they could throw It bomb she'll into the
Chicago Convention, and divide the con-
cervative party, they would be content.
They wish the Republican party to re-
main united, and to re-elect their candl-
date They know that the Democrats OF
the North are not their friends, but that
the Republicans are. They know that
the Democratic party will do nothing to
sustain rebellion or encourage 1t; that all
the united efforts of that party will tend
to crush, while the united efforts OF the
Republican party in any direction VIII
tend to foster and sustain 1t.
There is only one method by which they
can hope to retain their hold upon the
public opinion of the South, and that Is
by teaching them that the dominant party
in the North is determined TO war upon
their domestic rights. They know that
the Democratic party viii not do tins,
hence they will do all they can 10 pre-
vent its obtaining the ascendency. Davis,
when he says the musket will be handed
from the father to the son, does not speak
for the people Of the South he speaks
for the leaders. Let a convention OF the
people, North and South, be called to-day,
and If the people Of the South could
meet those of the North through the ling,
of bayonets circumyallating them III the
land Of their leaders, peace might be es-
tablished within three months
The great national calamity is here:
the secessiOnists of the South, and the
Abolition administration of the North,
both of whom hold the bayonet over all
the rest of the people, are equally hostile
TO the old Union and Constitution. That
is to say, the minority of both sections
are using the majority OF either section
with which to destroy each other. Davis
will have independence with or without
slavery, and Lincoln will not have Union
with slavery, and 50 they will fight.
Nothing can be more certain than If the
Democrats succeed to power they will
wave peace, and that by one or two
means: a Union on the basis of the Con-
slitution, or a Union forced upon the lea
ders of the South by crushing out their
power. The last thing they can and will
do, because they will let the people South
know that they can have thelr rights in
the Union, and nothing but eternal war
out Of it.-BOSton Post.

that the people Of the invaded counties
