THE Louisville papers every day for several
weeks have recorded the arrival of several hun
dred recruits per day, en- route to Chattanooga.
As specimen of these stories we give single
extract from the Louisville Journal of March sth,
which says:
Also, fresh from home, with goodbye OF
friends still ringing in their ears, arrived, at FIVE
O'Clock Thursday morning. the 10th New York
veterans. numbering four hundred men They
tarried but few hours in the city, taking the
evening train for Nashville. In few days more
their steady march will be heard on the front
lines commanded by gallant General Joe Hooker.
''Four hundred and forty recruits, fair speci-
mems of the yeoman sons of the Buckeye State,
arrived from Columbus, and were furnished
transportation over the Nashville Railroad
They go to strengthen the ranks of depleted reg
iment in the field A hearty God bless you,
boys and safe return to friends and home
when the turmols of war shall cease
''One hundred and fifty recruits reported as
haling from Detroit. Hale men. fresh and
strong as the breezes from their own Northern
lakes, they will soon become accustomed to the
hardships of the field. They FASTENED on the
front to be assigned to the regiment which each
has chosen, and supply the places of fallen

McDoUGALL AND CoNNEss.-The Washington
correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat writes
as follows of the two California Senators
8; The loyal press of California unanimous
in their expressions of Indignation in regard to
the course of Senator McDougall, and are follow
ing up the request OF the Senate of the State for
him to resign, with the most scathing and bitter
denunciations Of his political course and per-
sonal habits. But am told that he will prob
ably pay no attention to the official action of the
Legislature of his State. He continues to sink
lower and lower in his brutishness, and lower
and lower into the depths of Copperheadism.-
Whisky and disloyalty have gained complete
mastery over him. All personal intercourse be-
tween Senator CONFESS and himself has, | be-
lieve, ceased. 1t is the most lamcntable instance
of Senatorial degradation known to Congress for
many years. The contrast between McDougall
and CONFESS renders the case more especially
noticeable. The latter is man of unusual dig
nifty of department, and the very opposite, in
every respect, of his colleague. Senator Con-
ness is, indeed, an ornament to the Senate and
and an honor to the State which sent him

And down in the dell where wood-thrushes built,

So on by the meadow and mp by the hill
Where the breeze brought the breath OF the sea-
And Brar-Lane stopped by blossoming hedge,

The hedge is so low, the church is so near

Half thinking boys face to see

And this the reason why shorter the way,
Why, lower the hedge seems TO be,
And nearer the church, Brian Lane is the same
The change, brother John, is in
For never again from grass-bordered brook

While the Pickering fire made jewels of tears
From depths by such memories stirred.

WE are reminded by an article in the Flag that
the San Francisco Monitor, under the guise of

in the State. Its editor is brainless, soulless,
mercenary thing, disgrace to the green isle

Express is making great fuss over a provision
in the school law which says that - negroes,
Chinese and Indians shall not be admitted into
the public schools without permission OF the
trustees" We do not believe any such provision
is in any law passed by the Legislature. We
know the Senate Incorporated a provision in the
House school bill admitting negroes, etc. The
House refused to concur. subsequently Senate
voted to strike out the provision. but four of the
five Copperheads voted in favor Of retaining it,
and are now on the record in favor of admitting
negroes, Chinese and Indians to attend our
schools with white children. The Eryresss

seems thoroughly to understand the Copperhead
character, and to know precisely how to classify

writes:
u The popularity of Mr.. Lincoln has been as
much advanced in Europe as in the United

satisfaction to all those not prcjudced by special
reasons for the rebellion, and his sagacity,

such confusion and excitement called from NJ

before an immense audience Of the elite Of the

his proper value. No monarch in Europe could
