The WHITE REFUGEES AT CARIo.-Rev.
Thos Lyle, Cairo. Illinois, thus describes the
condition of the refugees arriving at that
place from the South:
One of the most painful features in this
sad migration of homeless fugitiyes, is the
condition of little children. In every party
of refugees landed here, there are always
helpless children, many of them orphans or
fatherless. ! have seen them in shiv ring
groups on the leTee. clad with mere rags,
most of them suffering with colds, measles. or
diseases caused by exposure and hardship.
Many of the poor little things die before we
can obtain homes for them. They are
taken te the Temporary Home, warmly
clothed. and made as comfortable as
possible. but want, suffering and disease have
in many cases committed such ravages upon
their poor little frames that but little can be
done for them. One family came in a few
weeks ago five children, their parents. and
an aged grandmother. We could not restrain
our tears as the latter an old woman of seven
ty told us in tremulous tones of the hardshi, 6
they had undergone. She had but sing e
garment on, having taken part of her cloth
ing to make the children more comfortable
A day or two after they had been placed in
the Home she suddenly died and one tie,
another of the family was called away; until
now only the mother and two of the children
are left. And this is only one case out of bun.

MEASURING LAND.-Persons often find it
necessary to measure the number of acres in
a lot, not for the purpose of sale. but for bus
mess. This can be done by any person with
a pole or line that measures rods: or by a
little practice one can learn to step rod at
FIVE PAGES which will answer verv well for or
dinary farm work Ascertain the number
of rods in width and length of a lot You wish
to measure, and multiply one by the other.
and divide by leo. and you will have the
number OF acres. as 100 square rods make a
square acre. If you wish TO lay off one acre,
measures - rods on each side. This lacks
only a rod full measure.

GEN BURyslDE's PART IN THE GREAT
DRAMA.-When Gen. Grant discovered the
large reinforcements that Lees army was re-
ceiving. he ordered Gen. Burnside to march
to Washington with 10000 of his 10000
troops, encamped at Annapolis. The re-
naming 10000 proceeded to Fortress Mon
roe. to help Buffers operations. The spe-
cial duty assigned to Burnside was that of
protecting Washington. He detached his
black troops. scme 5000 men, and placed
them in the Notifications and ockades along
the railroad between Alexandria and the Rap
pahannock With the rsmaining r. %. 100 he
followed after the min column under Grant,
tn reeannoissances to the North to see that
Lee did not disratch any considerable force
toward the city Washington. Grant crossed
the Rappahannock and opened the fight on
Wednesday, Burnside, instead of haltiug
pressed hard after Grant. and by a forced
march of 25 miles reached the field of battle
on Thursday evening. The next day he
went into the fight with his corps of Re

The Government and Nominal
tiODs


During'the days of the Buchanan dy-
nasty, all the energy of that weak admin
istration, was put to work to retain power,
by controlling nominations, and when un-
successful there, by running volunteers
by which they stroye to defeat regular
nominees, when anti-administration men
CHANGED to be nominated in their party.
We can well remember the indignation
felt by all honest, fair men, in this exhi-
bltlonof Interference on the part of those
who should have been laboring to ascer-
tain what the public will was, rather than
how to smother that will 1t is general
ly believed, that there is not entire unani-
nifty of sentiment in the present cobinet
at Washington. Postmaster Blair, has
made quite an effort to be leader in his
way, but has not come much speed yet.
His brother Frank, got up a conserva-
tive delegation to the Baltimore eonven-
ton, from Missouri, but they were kicked
out uncerimoniously; few days later it
seems, the Postmaster's conseyvatice dele
cation was elected from the State conyen-
tion Of Maryland. Notwithstanding all
this, it seems the Postmaster has not dis
paired Of being able to make his mark,
and has accordingly set to work to re-
moddlo the next Congress. 1t has alrea-
dy been developed that he has set the em-
ployees of the postofice in Philadelphia
towork against the denomination of Judge
Kelly, one of our purest and ablest men.
We have for some time thought that the
presumption Of the Blairs was intolera-
BILE of this we are more confident than
ever.
All have confidence in Mr.. Lincoln.
but they do ask Of him and will insist
that no interference on the part of the
agents Of the Government. from Cabinet
officers down, shall be allowed in the con-
trolling Of nominations, or other party
machinery-and more particularly that
the Blairs, so long pest to the country
shall be informed that its peace and well,
being will be best secured by their retire
ment. Civil officers, like military com.
manders, when they prove faithless or in.
competent, should be compelled to give

CHATTANOOGA, Z. :. SANITARY COMMISSION,
June TO- 1861.
In order to redeem a promise made to
several friends before leaving home, and
in order to present the claims of the
E" Christian Commission before the citi-
zens Of Butler county, l will now COM
mence a series Of articles, of which this
is the first.
When arrived in Pittsburgh, June ],
l found the Sanitary Fair in full blast,
and since learn it was decided success.

LOCAL FECKET.
Congressional Nomination.

As late as the last of April, there was
no evidence that our county would pres
sent q candidate for congressional honors
at this time Soon after, however, those
who seemed to have Mr. Williams for
tune more especially in charge, began to
break ground in such a. way, as seemed
to require Maj. Thompson and his
friends, either to confess thathe could not
carry our county, or at once gointo can
yass--they preferred the latter. The re-
suit of that canvass has demonstrated the
fact that Butler county will never turn
her back on one Of her own sons. The
canvass in Armstrong county terminated
on Monday last. We are informed, Mr..
Williams has carried it over Mr.. Findley
this ends the campaign in favor of Mr..
Williams-it is with great pleasure, there
fore, that We at once hoist the name Of
our present able member, Hon. Thomas
Williams to a prominent place IN our list
Of candidates, where We intend it shall
remain until after the second Tuesday OF
October next, when he will doubtless be
reelected by at least three thousand ma
joriy
If our Allegheny county friends wish
us to meet with them in Congressional
conference and Will fix a reasonable place
of meeting, say Freeport, we are quite
willing to go, but don't see much need for
a meeting at all.
While our people would have been graf
fled at the nomination Of Maj Thomp,
son, they viii, nevertheless, give not only
a cheerful, but an enthusiastic support to

The Draft Again,

In the inside Of our paper to-day, will
be found an order for an additional draft
in many of the sub-districts of this coun-
ty--as in other parts Of the 23d District
1t seems that, in order to assist those
districts which we're behind, the enrolling
board decided to give the benefit
Of the credit at large to which the
district was entitled this action seems
rot to have been approved by 50 the pow
crs that be, and hence the present order
to compel these districts to furnish their
full quotas This in the abstract, seems
fair enough-still the people feel much
annoyed at being thus suddenly called
upon for additional recruits. 1t seems to
us rather unfortunate thatthe board trans
conded their authority in this matter, if
they did SO, and if they did not, we
think it unfortunate that their action
should be thus overruled at this late day,
the Inconvenience it now inficts on the
people interested, is inealculable
We have always thought that there was
need for controlling spirit somewhere
about the head of the Provost Marshal's
Office, we still adhere to that opinion, we
don't believe there has been that uniform
ity in the PRONUNCIATION of orders which
should have marked the management of
that department in which the people have
such direct interest.
Congress has been extending its ramif-
cations to many subjects not directly under
its control would it not be well for it to
appoint a committee to inquire into the
justice aud uniformity of the rulesby which
allotments have been made and drafts or
dered +? Or would it not be better to an
thorize the appointment of three commits
sioners Of known ability to examine and
adjust the whole matter, at least before
any future call be made for men?
