event naturally drawing together large
crowd. It was not generally known that
Colonel Ould was on board, and only on
Major Milford mentioning the fact to sew
eral did the news spread and the crowd be-
come very much interested to see the man
who, as Commissioner of Exchange and
Judge Advocate of the Oonfederacy, plays
so important role An ambulance be-
longing to the Hygeia Hotel was placed at
the disposal of the visitors, and taken TO
headquarters, with an immense amount OF
paper and books.
The appearance of Col. Guild, to per-
son who knew hin, prior to the breaking
out of this wicked rebellion, isone of great
change. In size the rebel Commissioner
is about six feet high, and rather rotund.
His face is completely covered with a
greyish, grizzly beard, and altogether he
looks like man who has the burdens of a
"kingdom to bear on his shoulders. +" Col.
Ould wore civilians suit-a brown over
coat, fashionable several years back, and
SLOUGH hat. His companion, Captain
Hatch, was attired in gray uniform, full
dress, sash and belt, but wore no sword.
The object of his mission can only be
guessed at, but relates to the future plan
of exchanges. 1t is understood, and in
fact was published in the Richmond pa
pers, that if Gen. Butler would come to
the rebel capital to make the necessary
arrangements to facilitate exchanges he
should receive full and ample protection.
Gen. Butler and Ool Ould met on friend
ly terms, and upto the moment of my clos
ing this, the two Commissioners are en-
gagged in their humane and laudable un-
dertaking. The visit of Col. Ould may
last two or three days, Judging from the
immense pile of papers brought by him on
his arrival.

Rebel Intentions I'm Kentucky; an
Invasion Surely to Take Place.

From the Louisville Journal 2d.
There are many unequivocal indications,
amounting, we think, to undoubted evil
dence, that there is an extensive, well-de-
vised and thoroughly matured plan for a
general and most formidable invasion of
Kentucky during the present spring. We
have already spoken of these indications
repeatedly, but we can hardly urge them
too strongly upon the consideration of our
people. We have just published dispatch
of last Thursday from Knoxville, stating it
to be the opinion here that the rebels in
tend to make raid into Kentucky; Gen.
John @. Breckinride has got himself Or
dered at the head of large force to West
ern Virginia for the openly avowed and
publicly proclaimed purpose of coming into
Kentucky General Jones, with large
rebel force, is near Cumberland Gap, and
it is said that his movements show clearly
his intention to cooperate with such
troops as may enter Kentucky in that
direction General Longstreet's forces,
withdrawn almost entirely from Bulls
Gap, are believed to be turning their at
tention towards Kentucky Gen. John H
Morgan has been placed at the head of
very heavy force of cavalry, and Kentucky
has always been and is unquestionably
destined to be the Chi f arena of his ope-
rations; we hear from various quarters
that large force is concentrating at and
near Pound Gap under the command of
Major General Buckner to make an incur
sion into Kentucky simultaneously with
the incursions from other quarters and
to this we may add that the rebels and the
rebel sympathizers everywhere throughout
Kentucky are evidently at this time full
of expectation an! joy, and that guerrilla
bands, some of them numerous and pow
erful, are already sweeping lengthwise,
crosswise, and digonally through our
State, with a boldness which, it would
seem, could be inspired only by the ex-
pectation or knowledge that they will be
oo-operated With, whenever neces airy, by
the converging rebel armies.
The prospect would seem to Us far
darker than it does if we failed to bear in
mind that Lieutenant General Grant is at
the head of military affairs, and, that lie
appreciates the mOmentous Importance
of keeping Kentucky from rebel clutches.
1t is true, that his attention. may, for the
present, be chiefly absorbed by the Army
of the Potomac, which he is to lead in
person, but he will not for single day or
half day overlook Kentucky. And Ken.
tuckians themselves must rally with
mighty and sublime energy in this crisis.
1t is not more certain that there is blue
sky above our heads than that onr State is
to be invaded; and, if we do not make
her historical soil black with rebel blood,
we shall prove ourselves the recreant sons
of glorious fathers.

The Doctor told him no; he thought he
could not. How long can / live !? /" he
asked. "Net half hour" care you
sure / cannot live longer than that? ?" The
Doctor told him he feared he could not.
Friends then asked him if he had anything
to say. He replied" Yes, a great deal
to say want first to make MY will"
( Up to this time for two or three days he had
not been able to speak above whisper;
but responding to the power of his will,
his voice now resumed its old power and
tone, and he spoke nearly as loud as
ever. A friend sat by bis bedside, and he
dictated the Wilt was read to him af-
forwards, and he asserted to it's correct
ness by saying call right" at the end
of each paragraph, exclaiming at the
close: cit is just as l want it," He
then hesitated moment, and dictated
and important correction. A pen was
given and he signed it in a hand
writing as firm and bold as he ever
wrote in his life, even punctuating the alb
breviation of his name, and putting an &C
custOlned flourish beneath the signature.
Then came the sad task of bidding his
friends who were present good bye. One
by one they came up to his bedfide; in
every instance he greeted them with
cheerful smile, as though he were only 60
ing on journey of day or two, grasping
their hands and saying in that sweet, pleas
ant voice of his, "Good bye!" Some one
asking how he felt, he said Happy, re-
signed, trustful )" and then repeated in a
clear and well-modulated voice the twenty
third Psalm. At the verse, " Yea, though
l walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, will fear no evil, for Thou art with
me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort
mes" he raised his finger and his eyes as
calmly as though in his pulpit, his voice as
firm and strong as ever. After this exer-
ton his strength seemed to fail him. Sink
ing back in bed, he said: cit is all right
for me, but she will feel it, "poinling to his
wife. Friends again gathered round his
bedside, and he babe and smiled them
goodbye. His little son being brought in
he said: Dear little fellow-hes beau

the nurse carried it away in his arms. This
was his last act on earth. Calmly closing

NapoIeOn's War for Race and
Against RepublIcanlsm.


Every emotion, political, social, and philo-
sophlcal- to have been aroused dur
ing the past week. The departure of Maxi
milan and his official acceptance of the
crown stirred up no little bitterness and
bile among the political defenders of the
step ne has taken and the philosophical
opponents OF the same. To the former If

OF the mighty power of France to distribute
and to take away, to bestow and to with

1t confirms the scornful revenge inspired
epithet by which France has long been
designated destroyer of Republics"
which brands the nation with the convic-
ton OF foul hypocrisy as well as of a
base ambitiOE-for what nation in the
world so loud in its own self-praise con-
corning the dsinterestedness, the love of
freedom, and the adherence ofoppression
by which it is always actuated in its
march upon foreign territory.
The Roman republic, and the Mexican.
with strong foreshadowness of an attack
upon that of the United States as a natu-
raj consequence, were brought to mind
most forcibly when Macmillan, whose
mouth had never once been shut during
his whole stay here, so struck had he been
with admiration at every word and sem
tence uttered by his host, was escorted
to the railway station by the piquet
OF Gent Guides, which never lost sight of
him day or night. 1t was felt that in that
single hearted, open-mouthed adventurer
was centered the whole political theory of
the Emperor-the exaltation of the Latin
races, and the abasement of the Anglo
Saxon are to be represented in the King
Log which, impeding the progress of
Italian liberty, and was kicked out of
Milan, is now employed to dam up the tide
of progress and liberty which is rushing
to the South, borne thither by the brave,
generous and active Anglo-Saxon tits GER
tain that the hostility of France towards
the existence of republicanism has become
SO palpable that the French Minister at
Quito has ceased all intercourse with the
Chilean government while Peru and b.
llvia are entering into treaty to defend
their republican institutions against the
Entertainments of the mOnarchical princi-
pie which is now introduced into South
America" The Emperor once declared
that the creation of an empire of Mexico
would be accounted in history as the most
stupendous political measure of modern
times. If it should have no other result
than that of carrying back the Inquisition,
and the rack, and the torture, of which
the Latin races have always been such
staunch partisans, it will certainly be re-
garded as an immense achievement, and
one on which the proudest empires have
risen to glory and to power-in the days
when the Latin races went on their dark
ened way-ere the keen Ratchet of the
Anglo-Saxon had let in little light, to
guide them on the road TO liberty.

VISIT OF COL. GUILD, THE REBEL COMMISSIONER
OF EXCHANGE, TO GEN BUTLER

OF EXCHANGE, TO GEN. BUTLER
FORTRESS MONROE, March 31.-An inn
mense excitement was created to-day by
the arrival of Dol. Robert Ould, the rebel
Commissioner of Exchange, accompanied
by Capt. NJ. Hatch, his assistant, at this
place. A few days ago, when Major. John
E Milford, Assistant Commissioner Of Ex-
change under Major General Butler, was at
City Point, he made an arrangement with
Col. Ould for the latter to visit Gen But
Ter; and accordingly yesterday afternoon
Admiral Lee sent word to this point that a
rebel flag of truce was off Newport News
Point, awaiting to hold communication
with the Commanding General, who at
once despatched Major Milford on board
the steamboat Amanda Winans to receive
the envoy.
The meeting between Major Milford,
Colonel Ould, and Captain Hatch was, OF
course, as the rules ir cases OF flags of
truce prescribe, cordial in the extreme.
The weather being rough at the time, the
gunboat Roanoke, which brought Mr..
o: Id from Richmond to our lines, could
not very well ride at anchor OFT Newport
News. and consequently proceeded a few
miles ND the James River, and waited the
coming of Major Milford.
The arrival at Fortress Monroe Of all
parties above mentioned, occurred at ten
O'Clock this morning, the Union flag of

Women should take abundant exercise
in the open air-free, attractive, joyous
exercise, such as young girls, when not re-
strained by false artificial proprieties, are
wont to take. If you are in the country,
or can get there, ramble over the hills and
through the woodlands; botanic, geolo-
gize, seek rare flowers and plants, hunt
birds nests and chase butterflies. Be

If you are wife and mother, so much
the better. Romp with your children.
Attend also to your bodily positions, in
standing, sitting, lying and walking; and
employ such general or special gymnas
tics as your case may require. Live, while
indoors, in well ventilated rooms; take
sufficien: wholesome and nourishing food
at regular hours, and keep the mind &C
tive and cheerful-in short, obey all the
laws of health. Take lesson from the
English girl, as described in Ahe following
extract:
The English girl spends more than half of
her waking hours in physical amusement that
tends to develop and invigo.ate, and ripen the
Oily powers. She rides, walks, drives rows
upon the water, runs, dances. plays, swings,
Jumps the rope, throws the ball, hurls the
Quot, draws the bow, keeps up the shuttle
cock, and all this without having it forever
impressed upon her mind that she is thereby
wasting her time. She does this every day,
until it becomes a habit which she follows
through life.
Her frame, as necessary consequence. is
larger. her muscular system developed, her
nervous system in subordination to the ply
steal. her strength more enduring and the
whole tone OF her mind more healthy. She
may not know as much at the age ofseventeen
as does the American girl; as general thing,
she does not; but the growth of her intellect
has been stimulated by no dollhouse culture,

BACHELORS day or two before the
adjournment of the Maryland Legislature,
proposition was introduced to tax bache-
lors above twenty-five years of age not less
than twenty dollars per annum, because
the war is destructive of the male popula-
ton, while the number of females is greatly
in excess to that of the opposite sex. and
it is the duty OF every lover OF his country
to promote by every means the elements
that constitute her strength; said tax to
be applied to the support and education of
the children of Maryland soldiers slain in
battle. The proposition was amended bv
doubling the tax upon bachelors over forty
five years of age.
