GRN. SHERNAN's CoNFIDENoE.-People
who are apprehensive of second edition
of the Southern rebellion may perhaps
be treasured by what Gen. Sherman
lately said in q speech at Lawrenceburg
Ohio
The war was inevitable, aud we
never could have hal peace without It,
| hope this fact is now realized by the
whole mass Of the people, You have
fought and finished 1t yourselves, and
therefore have leiJ nothing for your
children TO do. There will never be an.
other war between the North and South
never between Kentucky and Indiana
or Ohio. But even If there was, it
would only need word from President
Johnson, Gen. Grant, or even myself, to
raise an immense army around the
standard Those who would thus rally
are men Schooled in the art of war, and
who would themselves form into COM
panles, regiments brigades and corps.
With such an army any rebellion could
be nipped in the bud. 1t would only be
necessary to give the call, and in twen-
ty-four hours an army would be ready
to march. We have future before us
in which all should feel proud 1t will
not only be equal to, but greater than
the past

HENS, a Ia aods.-The Montreal Wit
ness tells of ludicrous deception no
doubt suggested by a similar one now
in vogue, among the ladies.
at appears that an exhibitor Of pOul-
try in one of the fairs at Montreal, took
several prizes, and further won high en-
comiums from the Judges on the superb
ority or certain black hen OF the Po-
land variety, with splenuld head and
top-not. The next morning, however,
certain inquisitive visitors inspected her
Polandship, more closely, and discov-
cred the top.noJ had been cut from three
different fowls, sewn into waterfall
and fastened on the head Of the bird in
question. The sell was good, but cost
the perpetrator dearly, as the judges at
once took from him all the prizes form
erly won.

with Capt. Sturgeon, now of st. Louis,

emancipation in that State. He answer
ed The effect has been like magic;
since it became ctStain that the slaves
Were about to be emancipated, and espe-
cially since they were actually and
formally emancipated, lands throughout
Missouri have more than doubled in
value. and all the counties of the State
are literally swarming with immigrants
seeking humes--we never saw anything
ike it before Capt. Sturgeon added

we have not doubt of it. Kentucky is
richer in soil and finer in climate than
any State contiguous to her, and let her

from every stream and fountain. The

to her to day; ii is held up within half

TIE REBEL GENERAL PmLow.-Ac-
cording TO the Nashville Union the rebel
General Pillow has been hardened, has
hidden a final farewell TO slavery, and
set about the work of retrieving his
fortunes in q most sensible manner. He
owns large cotton plantation in
Arkansas, which since the emancipation
proclamation has remained uncultiva-
ted. He has resumed possession Of it,
and the Union says '....
she proposes, with the aid of Eastern
capitalists, to rebuild the residences,
gin-houses, barns, negro quarters, fences,
&C., on his plantation, to restock it with
agricultural implements, horses, cattle
hogs, &C., and to invite his former slaves
to return and work for him, giving them
good wages. In addition, he will give
employment to such other freedmen as
he may need. 1t is his intention to pro.
vide for his laborers literally, furnishing
them with good quarters 4 and food
schools for their children and churches
for all. He will go into this good work
with all the energy OF his nature-and
there are few more enterprising and in
telligent men in the country-and M
effort win be spared to make 1t success
full. His experiment is d very impor
tant one, and will be watched with IN
Tagging interest North and South.

the writer states that he has been in the
Corps for upwards Of one year, and has
vet to meet the first man who does not
desire his discharge, excepting indeed the
officers, who he says have weighty rea-
sons for not wishing the Corps dis
banded Many Of the members have

Of the right of maintaining them and

forts and privileges of home. The cost
OF maintaining Camp Gilmore in Con-
cord is at the rate Of $4,000 month, a

ambition, are in great danger Of run

LOVES SrRATAGRM.-Ar rich old widow
er in Canada is said to have practised
very artful scheme to gain the hand OF
the belle of village. He got an old
gypsy to tell the young ladys fortune
in words which he dictated as follows
My dear young lady, your star will
soon be hid for short time by very
dark cloud but when it re-appcars it
will continue to shine with uninter-
rupted splendor until the end of your
days. Before one week, wealthy Old
widower, wearing a suit OF black and
fine castor hat, will pay you visit and
request your hand in marriage. You
will accept his offer, become his wife,
aud be left a widow in the possession Of
all his property before the close Of this
year Your next husband will be q
young man of whom You think most at
present" Three days after, the old gen
| tleman, dressed in the manner described
by the gypsy, presented himself to the
young lady, and the marriage followed.
The popular Mendelshon Quntettc
Club OF Boston have, during the last
year, travelled over ten thousand miles
and performed in two hundred and three
| concerts besides fulfilling other engage
ments. In doing this they have never
been out of New England but once, and
then only to Albany.

making quite an cutlery because q single
| musket taken from captured Fenian

"U. S." 1t is suggested that for every
gun taken in Ireland with the mark Of
Onr government on it, there shall be
given in exchange a similar gun with q
British mark captured from the rebels
in this country. We should still, in thc
end, have large surplus Of English
arms.
