FederaIyietory in Arkansas.

The Little Rock Union of April Sth states
that the expedition to Mt. Elba and Long View,
commanded by Col. Clayton, destroyed the
pontoon bridge at Long View, burned a train of
thirty five wagons, loaded with camp and gar
stores, DC, captured three hundred and twenty
prisoners-engaged in battle Gen. Doekery s di-
vision of about twelve hundred men from Mon
tieello, routed him and pursued him ten miles
with loss on his side of over a hundred killed
and wounded, captured large quantity ofsmall
arms, two stands of colors, many wagons and
over three hundred horses and mules. The
Federal loss did not exceed fifteen in killed
wounded and missing. Several hundred con-
trabands were brought in. The Union says the
expedition was a complete success, and Col Clay
ton has added new laurels to his already well
jeweled crown of honors.

AN NCTDENr

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette in
giving an account of the recent visit of George
Thompson, the English Abolitionist, to Phila-
lphia, gave the following incident as occurring
during the five minutes speech of Judge Kelley,
who seconded the resolutions offered on the oc-
casion The Incident IS illustrative of the pop
ular regard for President Lincoln, despite the
assaults of Copperheads and mad radicals who
equal if not exceed them in malignity:
In speaking of the course of the President,
and the dissatisfaction 50 often expressed, be-
cause he seemed to move so slow, the speaker
remarked that he had shared in the dissatisfac-
ton; and perhaps, there were some things now
which were not as they would have them; but
as one who had been on the inside good DEAL
he would say that he believed Abraham Lin
coin to be the wisest radical ofthem ALL" APP
plause. "NO one" continued Judge Kelley,
.is more honestly and heartily in favor of uni
versal freedom, and l am satisfied that during
his second term'-here the audience interrupt
ed with boisterOus applause. There was no
sham abOat it. The speaker struck the popular
chord and the music filed the house. There
was no packing" 1t was not a meeting of
mere politicians. "We, the people," spoke on
that occasion certainly. After some minutes
the speaker resumed, and repeating his broken
sentence, said, Il am satisfied that during his
second term he viii dig up and crush the last
root of slavery in America" Upon the COM
pletion of the sentence the applause was greater
than ever.

A Set OfIucapabIes

1t is a fact worthy of comment that while the
Democratic leaders constantly find fault with
the action of the Administration and Congress,
the Democratic members of the latter never orig
mate any sort ofimportant legislation. We can
not now recall with the exception of Mr. Pen
dleton's bill of any general interest or import
ance that has been introduced by Democratic
member. All the great measures of the session
all the leading notifications of committee s
bills-have come from the Union side of Con-
gress The quantity of anti-slavery legislation
is constantly complained of by the opposition,
being free from that would devote their atten-
ton to general legislation, but they do not do it.
1t is Senator Wilson natures the ambulance
corps BILL it is Mr.. Sumner provides for the
codification of the United States laws; it is Mr..
Hooper introduces the billJ Mr. Washburne the
Lieutenant General bill, etc. flour readers will
look into this subject they will be surprised at
the facts. If the Democratic members of Con-
gress do anything but make speeches and intro
duce political resolutions to trip up Republi-
cans, we have not become aware of the fact
And yet these are the men who complain that
everything is done wrong, and who called upon
the people to put them in Congress, that the
public administration could be rectifed. Now
that they are in Congress, they do nothing but
peddle vile politics. If everything is as bad as
they say, what field for reforml 1t may be
said that they are in minority and can do
nothing. But they do not try to do anything.
If they were to propose unquestionably useful
legislation, the Republicans would not be found
arrayed against it.-DetrOit Tribune

HIGH DRESSES,

We are thankful for at least one of dame FASH
sons freaks; she has turned her back upon low
necked dresses, and rather insists that collar
bones and shoulder blades shall be covered
1t is certainly great improvement-not only
because the study of anatomy in private parlors
is not desirable, and that American damsels are
apt to run to bone as some tall flowers do to
seed; and that spinsters of uncertain age fear
full of being outdone by their nieces, presented
such vast expanse of yellow neck and shoulder
to the view at evening parties as were calculat-
ed to alarm nervous people seriously; but be-
cause since custom obliged US to wear garments,
there can certainly be no reason why we should
leave the most delicate portion of our frame
without protection.
Plump shoulders and arms are pretty, but so
(let us Whisper are plump legs. The mother
who should fail to provide her daughter with
stockings would be considered a cruel wretch,
yet year ago she might neglect to cover her
chest and arms with impunity. We trust this
state of things is over. We hope the wisdom
which causes every prudent parent to protect
the pretty shoulders of her little girls with COM
Portable wooden sacques and capes will be ap-
preciated; that sense will conquer vanity, and
that in little while it will be as absurd to see
a woman in low -necked dress as it would to-
day to see man in low w-necked coat.-Su7a-

ni.ringui.ned sece.h Hostnge..

Some weeks ago Messrs. Betchol and Wheat,
members of the West Virginia Legislature, were
abducted from their homes at Berkeley Springs,
by guerrillas taken to Richmond, and still re-
main there in prison. The Union forces under
Col. Young have taken five secesh hostages at
Winchester and jefferson County, and brought
them to Wheeling, where they are now imPris-
oned, to be held until they procure the release
of those for whom they are in hostages. The
rebels were arrested outside of our lines, and
are Rev A. A. H. Boyd, Philip Williams, Rob-
ert Y Conrad, A. S. cambridge, and Nathan
White. Mr.. Conrad was prominent member
of the Richmond Convention which passed the
ordinance of secession; Williams is prominent
lawyer of Winchester; and Mr.. Boyd is an en-
inent Episcopal Minister of the some place
The prisoners were sent to the Atheneum, and
the Intelligencer says:
s'The distinguished hostages were very much
Mortified and disguised at the quarters to which
they were assigned and with the society into
which they were thrown.

..LincOIn is TIected and 1 am Free.

Atthe serenade of Governor Hahn at New
Orleans, Judge E. H. Durrel in responding to
toast to the Governor, said:
The first thing that brought Mr.. Lincoln to
his personal knowledge was his election as Pres
ident of the United States in 1860. He knew
that he was elected fairly by the popular vote
When, the morning after the election, the news
came of his election, little negro came to him
while he was yet in bed, and with all the enthu-
siasm of which the young African was capable,
exclaimed: @Lincoln is elected and am free -
| He believed then, and he had since that time no
reason to change his opinion, that the negro IN
derstOod the contest in the length and breadth,
its width and depth, as well as we did, and from
that moment he had labOred with certainty in
his own mind that God had resolved that
through this great contest, slavery should cease
to exist. That as inasmueh as the white man
was the first slave, the black man should be the
last

A Cincinnati paper thus reports an incident
at the launch of the iron-clad Catawba in that
city on Wednesday:
cat the foot of Butler street great crowd was
gathered, and though those standing near the
waters edge were repeatedly ordered away they
returned whenever the policemen were called
elsewhere. At the moment the vessel was full
lily in the water an immense wave rolled shore
ward, instantly submerging one or two hundred
people, and carrying many of them off their feet
As it retreated, sight at once ludicrous and
Terrifying was presented. Women and child
rem were crawling up the muddy bank, wildly
clutching at each others heels; men were fiOun-
dering on their backs, and one individual, his
hat carried off by the undertOw, was frantically
hugging log, alternately footing and burrow-
ing in the mud, as the surf advanced and rece-
ded. Fortunately, the first wave was the larg-
est and most sudden, and all the bathers against
their will scrambled out of danger One bed
raggled individual said he didn't care pin fol
the wetting but he didn't like to miss the show.
He disappeared in a neighboring bar-room, and
probably launched little Catawba on his own
account into a region where there was no dan
ger of its displacing an overwhelming bulk oi
water"

-pecl.lon a. % LegaI-Teuder Note-.

An important case was decided in the Dis
trict Court of Philadelphia on Saturday. The
defendant in the case had agreed to pay year
ly ground rent of S570 "lawful silver money of
the United States, each dollar weighing seven
teen penny weights and six grains at least. -
When the rent became due the defendant ten
dered the amount in United States Treasury
notes, which plaintiff refused to receive, demand
ing silver dollars. Suit was brought, and the
defendant pleaded tender as aforesaid To this
plea the plaintiff fled a replication, averring
that the defendant did not tender in silver dol
lars, ETC., but in prommissory notes or paper
money ofthe United States, of the nominal val
ue of S285, but forty per cent. less exchanged
BILE value To this the defendant filed special
demurrer, averring that the promissory notes so
rendered were lawful money of the United
States, and legal tender in payment of all debts.
On Saturday the court rendered its judgement
that the Treasury notes are legal tender, and
should have been received in the payment of
the rent, and that the special agreement was of

THREE sONNETs.
BY MRS. FANNY KEMBLE

The Spirit of the Fair publishes three SON
nets by Mrs. Kemble with the following intro
duction:
''Lest any one, in reading the following no
BILE sonnets should have their pleasure marred,
though but for a moment, by misconceptiOn
of their meaning, a word of explanation may
not be out of place.
''The first poem is intended to speak for the
conservative aristocracies-those who caught
up and echoed the jeering cry of the London
Times, The Great Republic is no more :.
''The second is the wall of those true but faint
hearts who, also accepting as inevitable the ru-
in of this country, seeing in her going down not
a triumph. but the quenching of that star OF
redemption which they had prayed might one
day shine over the whole earth, bringing light
into all its dark places.
In the last, the writer, like another Miriam,
takes her 'timbrel in her hand and answers both
the sneer and the despair.
''We need only add that Mrs. Kemble in
the letter enclosing her verses says, that to rise
to the occasion she should need the pen of both
Milton and Wordsworth. "
FIRST SONNET.
She has gone down They shout it from afar,
Kings, Mobiles, Priests-all men of every race,
Whose lingering clogs Time swift relentless
pace.
She has gone down Our evil boding star
Rebellion, smitten with Rebellion sword,
Anarchy, done to death by slavery
Of Ancient Right, arrogant enemy,
Beneath hideOus cloud of civilwa
Strife such as heather slaughterers had ab.
horr'd.
The lawless band, who would call no maI
lord,
Spurning all wholesome curb, and dreaming
free
Her rabble rules licentious tyranny,
In the fierce splendor of her insOlent morn,
She has gone down-the worlds eternal scorn
SECOND SONNET.
She has gone down. Woe for the world and al
Its weary workers looking from afar
To the clear rising of that hopeful star,
Star of redemption to each weeping thrall
| OF POw'r decrepit, and of Rule outworn;
Beautiful dawning of that blessed morn,
Which was to bring leave for the poor to live,
To work and eat, to labor and to thrive,
And righteous room for all who nobly strive.
She has gone down Woe for the painting worlC
Back on its path of progress sternly hurl d.
Land of sufficient harvests for all dearth,
Home of all highest hopes-Time richest birth
Woe for the promised land of the whole Earth
THIRD SONNET.
Triumph not, fools-and weep not, ye faint
hearted;
Have We believed that the divine decree
Of Heav n had Civ n this people o er to per
ish
! Have ye believed that God would cease t.
cherish
This great New World of Christian liberty?
And that our light forever had departed?
| Nay-by the precious blood shed to redeem
The nation from its selfshness and sin,
By each true heart that burst in holy strife,
Leaving its kindred hearts to break through life
By all the tears that will not cease to stream
For ever, every desolate home within,
We will return to our appointed place,
First in the vanguard of the human race

The Chicago Tribune publishes new ritual
of the Knights of the Golden Circle said to
have been adopted at meeting just heldin that
city. The Tribune says:
It's features are cuDningly and skillfully
drawn, and ifcarried out would perfect strong
and compact organization. The society is COM
posed Of clubs of ten, each acting under a chief
These clubs completely isolated and un-
known to each other. The chief of one club re-
ports back to the club where he was initiated.
and beyond these two clubs be is unacquainted
with the individual members of the Organiza-
ton These clubs composed of personal
friends of business men closely associated, so
that they may act i'll harmony or be readily
called together, and are provided with technical
signs, passwords, and grips, and each member
designated by number the chief being /, vice

ganiZation and the programme for the develop
ment of its plans are shrewdly arranged and
| elaborated, and make when combined, a pow
erful secret society, the detection or suppression
of which would be well-nigh impossible. In
known to ITSELF it would work, nevertheless, in
complete harmony throughout its various ram
ifieations to the accomplishment Of its objects.
This organization has double object in view,
first, the election of COpperhead like McClell-
an or Vallandigham to the Presidency, by which
the independence of the rebels NAV be secured
with slavery restored to them; or falling in that
the kindling of civil war in the North, which
shall compass the same object, and to this end
these clubs are being extended all over Illinois,
and will rapidly spread through the other States.
This exposure viii serve to put Union men on
their guard, and thwart their diabolical schemes.
We are no alarmists but we warn loyal men of
the danger ahead, in the hope that by timely
action and energetic efforts the plOttings of this

Here is a passage from the ritual"
We are against the determination of the white
race of the South, and against the universal
emancipation of the black race by Federal au-
thority. We are against the effort now making
to bring black labor IN competition with the Ia
Dor of the freemen Of Illinois, We are against
every Infringement of the rules of civilized war.
We are against the Administration of Abraham
Lincoln; and we believe that a policy looking
to peace, founded on good faith an honest inter-
pretation of the Constitution, and a real desire
to restore the former brotherhood of States and
sections, are the only means to reconstruct the
Union and save the Republic.

The Illinois Insurrection.

The Copperhead outbreak in Coles county,
Illinois, is likely to result very disastrOusly to
the rebel sympathizers who were engaged in it.
Forty of their number heve been arrested, and
the work ofapprehension is still going on, whilst
a still greater number have fled from their homes
to wander like towards and criminals through
the land, or lie concealed where the officers OF
Justice may not be able to find them.
The manifestation ofsuch belligerent and dis
loyal spirit will not pay. No rebel symPathiz-
ing action stands the ghost of chance OF grow
ing to a serious head, in any loyal State The
most formidable example of that sort was ex-
hibited in the New York city riots of last year,
but it was movement that could not last, and
was made to recoil on its authors and abettors.
In Coles county, five or six unprOyoked mur-
ders were committed, for which the guilty will
be punished, but the crimes neither serve the
cause of the rebellion, nor effects the power Of
the Federal authority the weight of afeather,

An ApriI-Fool Joke with sad Ending.

A large party of gentlemen were enjoying
themselves in a saloon, when one of them said
that he would like to make an "April Fool" of
his brother, who was not then present. A meth
cd was devised at once, and man was sent to
inform the absentee that his brother had been
killed in an atfray, and was lying in the saloon.
Ofcourse the story was told in a very pathetic
and earnest manner. When he arrived at the
saloon his brother was lying on the counter
with red scarf tied closely around his neck
He thought the red scarf was blood certainly,
and in terrible fit of excitement he demanded
the person who had slain his brother Here the
Joke should have been explained, but was car
ried little to far. Somebody who appreciated
the fun Immediately pointed to a man as the
guilty party. In a moment the enraged broth>
er drew revolver and shot him.
