BoUNTIEs AND RELIEFs. - After In
dianapolis has spent nearly seven hun
dred thousand dollars in the way of
bounties, our citizens will not wonder al
any fabulous sum of money expended in
like behalf throughout the entire State.

below look little tantalizing. They
comprise but twenty-five counties -
about one-fourth of the State and Mr.
Howe, of the Adjutant Generals Office
who furnished us ths information, says

GAMBLERS AT CAIRo.-Cairo is infest
ed with gamblers, and few days age

stranger who was passing through
that city with the corpse of his
wife. Now, we think that man who

en- route to bury his wife ought to be
"cleaned out and then hung. They
do things very funny in Cairo.
REBEL AIRs.--During the recent trip
of the Morning Star to Memphis, the
late rebel General Churchill was or
board with his family. One of the ne
gro walters on the boat in some manner
excited the ire of the General, and was
cuffed and slapped around by him more
than was agreeable to the colored gen.
tleman. When the boat arrived at Pa
ducah, information of the assault and
battery was given to the authorities and
a negro military squad marched on
board the boat, into the cabin, arrested
the General and walked him up into
town, where the case was inquired into,
and the General was fined twenty dol
lars. The General took it coolly, bu
no doubt he thought that the price fol
shaping negro is much higher nov
than before the rebellion.-Neso Aba
