TFowler. the distinguished phrcnolocis.
stated in late lecture in Boston that wher
Gen. Mcclellan was mere lad his fathe,
brought the boy to him for chronological cx.
animation. Mr.. +. was well acquainted with
Macs father who informed him that he was
about 10 place the lad nj West Point. Mr..
Fowler examined the boys head and found
that the organs OF caution had an almost NOR
bid development and expressed his opinion to
the father that his boys brain might not have
been moulded for military man. Both, how
ever. agreed TINT as there was no prospect of
the country needing military men, West Point
vrould bc as good a school for the boy as could
ma found. Mr.. Fowler says that he never e1-
AHMED heal where the coward 50 plainly
.,,,sk out as in McClellan's. Certainly the his
tory OF Macs military career Is striking
nrcof of chronological truth and both together
ronId ronirm ,is in the belief OF the truth OF
,hs story told tof Mcclellan, that he would
never be the first to cross bridge he had built.
Prof. Fowler has shown himself very in
discreet, provided he wishes any moro heads
(copper) to examine. But perhaps no don't.
Down with phrenology when il don't con-
tribute greatness to Mcclellan; tho metallic
population will have faith in it nsvermore!

CoNsERvArWH.-Mr.C y. ID. Drake, q del
cgate to the recent Emancipation Conven-
ton at Jefferson City, made the following
remarks regarding the 50 called "conscrva-
tives" in Missouri. Our readers will con-
slider the picture us not alone applicable to
that State: .. r... ..
To us are opposed portion OF the people
OF Missouri, who style themselves Conserpa-
tires. And who arc theyl Let the plain truth
be spoken. They embrace all the Gisloyal.
Every rebel in the State is with them. Every
opcn or secret scccssionist Is with them. Every
guerrilla and bushwhacker Is with them. Every
Copperhead Is with them. Every man who
opposes the radical policy of the Government
against the rebellion Is with them. Every man
who Is under bond for disryal practices or
sentiments is with them Almost every Pro-
Slavery man il with them. And nine-tenths
of the Shareholders, believe. are with them.
Aud along with this motley gang OF open en-
cmies to, or f,int-hearted friends OF the Union
cause, are associated just enough of real Union
men 90 save the concern from going down i'm
mediately under the weight Of its inherent and
envenomcd disloyalty. Nothing keep, that
party alive this day but the presence Of these
Union men In its ranks.

The Postmaster of MaAden, Edward w.
Green. was arrested on Sunday evening last,
for the murder Of young Converse, the
assistant cashier of the Maiden Bank, on
Tuesday noon, the 18th of last December.
For hidcous cold blooded murder it has

tho people everywhere will DO relieved

Suspicion first attached to him because dur
ing oil the excitement about the affair he
appeared perfectly unconccrnOd and attended
none OF tho numerous meetings held by the
citizens, in reference to icrreting out the
criminal. Ho was accordingly watched, and
it was found that he paid out nothing but
bills on the Maiden Bank, at one time pay
Ing $500 in these bills. The following ac-
count is condensed from Boston papers:
The police force Of Boston have been con-
stant,y on the alert since the crime was com.
mitted, determined il possible to ferret out the
murderer. Suspicious have rested upon Green
for two or three weeks and detective Calder
was constantly on his track, when u was ascer-
tanned that he had paid debt Of 500, nearly
all in bills on Maiden Bank. Other, smaller
amounts were paid by him in bills ON the same
bank, which with other circumstances estab-
lished the fact that The was the guilty party

stated that on the day OF the murder he visited
the Bank twice. and the FIRST time he found a
conductor there who left pair OF skates. The
next was ut halfpas eleven o'clock. Immcdi-
atcly on entering the Bank he said. he walked
into the Directors room, aud seeing that no
one was there. he drew his pistol-a six barrel

He instantly discharged second barrel, the
shot OF which took effect in the temple, while
his victim lay on the aoor.
The murderous deed having been consume
ted Green seized the bills in the drawer,
amounting to about $1,000. and thereafter re-
paired TO his Office Alter detailing these facts.
Green informed the persons present, that a por.
ton OF the money was concealed in piece o!

where s6i5 in bills on Maiden Bank were sub
scluently found. The balance OF the stolen
money, Green said. was secreted underneath

REBELLION At MoBILE.-'The Ship Island
correspondent Of the Boston Journal tells a
pretty large story in relation to the rebel re-
volt at Fort Morgan, which may or may not
be true. We give it circulation for what it
is worth:
The rebels in Fort Morgan rcSolted, and du.
ring the difficulty the rebel gunboats in Mo-
bile Bay attempted to arrest the garrison Of the
fort. The whole fort being in revolt and with
the American flag flying (wheIe the rebel rag
has so long hoated.) they opened upon the
rebel gupboats with every gun in the fort.
They succeeded in driving the gunboats off,
but were not upon their guard, and that night
q large force was sent down to the fort from
Mobile, capturing the whole garrison excepting
four men, who escaped in the darkness of the
night in small boat and came to Ship Island,
where we heard. for the first time, the astound-
ing intelligence.
Since then we have heard more Of the revolt
from some additional deserters. Seventy OF the
reyolters are condemned to be shot to-day in
Mobile. We also learn from these deserters
that on Horn Island (up the Sound) there are
eighteen more deserters from the rebel army in
and around Mobile. and on Round Island there
are about fifty deserters from the same quarter.
These deserters bring the very important in.
teligencc that the rebel army in and around
Mobile have organized secret societies, and de-
tcrniined to fight no longer. IL is said that the
movement inaugurated among the soldiers Is
growing daily stronger, and many officers are
COMPROMISED in the movement. think this is
the most important movement since the war,
and is most significant in favor OF the success
full termination of this war. am confident
that this news is true.

MARYLAND FRSx SrArE.-In his recent
Message to the Legislature, Governor Brad
ford, of Maryland, referring to the subject
Of Constitutional Convention, with refer
enco to the question Of emancipation, says :
believe to-day, as have done for years.
that IL We had long ago provided for the grad
ual emancipation OF the slaves OF the State, We
should now be, as regards all the material ele-
ments OF public prosperity, far in advance OF
our present position. The products Of our
State and its natural resources are not such as
are adapted to or can be developed by slave Ia
Dor. l am satisfied that the people Of the State,
in their moments Of calm and deliberate retlec-
ton, long since came TO the same conclusion.
When the conspiring leaders at the South lifted
their hands against the Union, and pointed to
slavery AS the institution upon which their Wis
ionary republic was to rest, they struck q blow
at its very vitals IN every border Of the State.
under which il has continued TO anguish, and
which must inevitably result in its ultimate de-
struction.
II becomes us. therefore, to whom the whole
question rightfully belongs, to take immediate
measures for its removal, which should be no
longer delayed than may be required by a
proper respect for these industrial pursuits

80 intimately interviewer, and humane re-
gard for the slave himself. which forbils US to
cast him, all unprepared for so great change,
too suddenly upon his feeble resources.
Aud so they so, Maryland, Delaware, Mis-
souri, and Arkansas, each State expressing its
desire to be rid Of that "Old Man of the
Sea-" which has chung to its prosperity for
ever rctarding and preventing its increase.
II is not those who have suffered most by
slavery and whose eyes are opened in the
midst of its desolating influences who cry,
Long live slavery! Oh no; it is only your
Northern coppcrhead who sees beauties in
the system, because only in its preservation
and the success Of tho rebellion can he dis
Germ any hope for the resurrection Of the
Democratic party.
