THREE DRsERTERs SHOT. Three sailors,
named Michel Farrell, John Kane and
James Kennedy, attempted to desert from
the U. S. steamer Burmuda, lying of the
Navy Yard, about Q o'clock on Saturday
night. They stole the row-boat attached
to the vessel, lowered it into the water
and started off. They were noticed by
the guard, who hailed them, but not pay
ing any attention they were fred at. The
firing attracted the attention of the Prince
ton ard Wyoming. The guards were sum-
p,oneI on deck, and about fifty volleys
fred into the boat. The three men each
received wound --one of them in the
head, one in the shoulder, and one in the
leg. The wounds although serious, will
not prove fatal. Notwithstanding that
the men were wounded, they still contin-
ued to push for the shore, and would nave
escaped, bu, for the arrival OF Police barge
No. 9, under officer Grimes, who put at
ter the boat, and succeeded in securing
the three men and laujing them safely on
board the Bermuda.

be inclined TO doubt its genuineness. We

has not the fear of the "widow max err

/. As your Office is one that is unkowr
to the Constitution of the United States

must endeavor to impress the people, a,
much as possible, with the dignity and

for the foolish, old-iashioned laws OF the

being unified for the exigencies of the

9..Use, e,whenever you can, the eartickliug
words, "loyal" and supporting the gov

mean the subversion of the miserable old
government and the support of my new
system. If you hear any man use the
words in any other connection arrest him.

any man to speak OF restoring the Union

Resolued, Tha. we denounce as infamous
cruelty the conduct of Abraham Lincoln
in refusing to consent to an exchange of
prisoners except on conditions tina; the
South give up their recaptured slaves,
which by lave of nations we have no right
to ask that by this preference for the
negro to the white man, he consigns over
thirty thousand brave soldiers to a pro-
longued captivity in the unhealthy eli
mates of the South, and thousands to a
lingering death for which impartial his
tory will hold him responsible.
Resolved, That we are in favor of the
Union as it was and the Constitution as it
is, which embodies the right Of trial by
jury, free speech, free press, and free reli-
gious opinions.
The meeting then adjourned to the fol-
lowing Saturday night.

THE ExILEs OF KENTucKY.-The Detroit
Free Press, of the llth inst. thus chroni-
cles the arrival OF party Of exiles, men,
women, and feeble children, forty in num-
Der, Under negro guard, and sent from the
Gland of the free and the home of the
brave" by the order of a brigader-general
in the United States service:
Notice was given yesterday of the expa.
triation of II number of citizens from Co
lumbus, Paducah, and vicinity, in Ken
lucky, by, order Of Gen. Paine, for giving
laid and comfort to the rebels" The
party arrived in this city this morning. en-
route for Canada, under the conductorship
Of Captain III. r. Norton, Eighth United
States Colored Artillery, (heavy,) and the
fragrance OF about two dozen artillerists.
Their appearance at the Michigan Central
station created quite a sensation. and
numbers of our citizens engaged 10 con-
versation with the ''sympathizers' who
unfolded ''round, unvarnished tale" of
the cause of their Punishment, so far as
would be permitted by the guard.
The party consisted of about forty per-
sons, men, women, and children, ali of
whom belonged to the first families of the
state in which they resided. Judges, ma
gistrates, and wealthy merchants; young
and beautiful women, widows and their
offspring, were all made to feel the iron
hand of despotism, disgorge blood money,
dignided by the title of assessments"
leave the houses OF their youth and the
scenes of their childhood, and suffer the
tortures of a worse than Siberian exile,
without homes, friends, or even place
in which TO lay their heads. Those with
whom our reporter conversed, expressed
none but the most loyal sentiments to
the Federal Government. They stated
that they knew not why they were order
ed into exile.
They were simply notified that they
must either ego to hell, Africa or Canada"
by an imperial edict from Gen. PANE
They made no murmur or complaint.
Thousands OF their friends are similarly
situated, ard with that noble self denial
which always characterizes the truly great,
they withhold tie sentiments which burn
ed within their breasts for utterance, out
of consideration for their situation. They
are allowed no trial, no hearing, no oppor-
tunity to vindicate their honor or patriot
ism before God and man; but without a

citizens, they were ordered off in man
ner which would have reflected credit on
the workings of an inquisition.
BE~When we "free born Americans"
used to read of such conduct on the part
Poles, the Huns, and the Cauoassians, how
our blood would boil with patriotic indig-
nation. But now when they are an every
day occurrence at our own doors-when
the victims are children Of the same .patri-
otic sires with ourselves, and perhaps blood
of our blood-we are not even allowed to
express our indignation How art the
mighty fallen!
