HE REBEL BATTLE CRY.-A writer of
large experience and considerable force Of
expression, thus describes the battle-cry
which the rebels deliver on going into
battle, and which is said to be the most
indescribable and longest to be remem-
bered of any utterance Of the human
voice:
Imagine a confederation of equine, ca
nine, bovine, porcine and gallinaceous ut
terances, with an Indian war whoop
thrown in. and you have only an approx
innate conception of this howl yclept bat
tie cry. How or where it originated we
are at loss TO conceive. Perhaps Cen
eral Lee, or the author, whoever he may
be. some time at the commencement Of the
war, stumbled upon and forthwith pro-
ceeded 10 profit by suggestion OF Jeremy
Golfers, wherein, after descanting upon
the inspiring effect Of martial music in
battle, he conjectured whether some kind
of anti-mus;c could not be invented,
(which should haye the contrary effect, ="
adding, IT'S possible the roaring Of
lions, the warbling OF cats and screech
owls, together with the mixture Of the
bowling of dogs, judiciou'ly initiated and
compounded, might go a great ways in
this invention"

WAsuISGroS, D. c., FORMERLY RoNE.
The Utica Herald extracts the following
from the letter of q gentleman. now on a
visit 10 our National capitol, from which
it appears that Washington, over two
hundred years ago, was called Rome:
while at the Mayors Office, the other
day, I got hold of little scrap of history
pertaining to the locality Of our National
capitol over two hundred years ago.
Among other writin g examined an an
Gent document furnished by Robert
Brent, Esq, father of the first Mayor of
Washington City. BY this It appears that
on the 9Th day Of June, 1865, Francis
Pope laid of his plantation of i've hun
dred acres. here, where the city now
stands. One of the boundaries of the
plantation. as described in the writing, is
a little inlet of the Potomac, now dug out
and made into a canal. This stream,
bounding part of the plantation. is called
the Tiber. Pope named his plantation
Rome. His own name, P pc, probably
suggested the name Of his plantation.
Rome, and the name Of his plantation sug-
gested the name Of the stream, Tber.
Francis Pope was Pope of Rome, and the
stream running along his plantation was
the Nber."

KENNovAN's GREAT WALKING FEAT.
Jimmy Kennovan, the pedestrian, accom-
plished successfully his great walking feat
of sixty hours, at twelve midnight last
night, and came down from the elevated
cage, in which he had hobbled slowly
back and forth, more dead than alive, for
the last "a hours, amid the applause OF a
large audience assembled to witness the
performance. Kennovan has walked one
hundred hours consecutively in years
gone by; but at 50, with constitution
badly broken down by hard work and ex-
posure, it Is something of feat to keep on
ones feet for sixty hours consecutiyely.
For the last twenty-four hours KennoVan
appeared to be asleep half the time
although moving mechanically like a
pendulum. His right leg and ankle was
badly inflamed;; and if he Is not laid up
for some weeks it will be wonders. F..

Our dispatches on Saturday last, an
nounced the hanging Of the notorious
guerrilla "Sue Munday" alias Jerome
Clark. The following description of that
celebrated individual is from an Eastern
paper:
We have it from good authority that
Sue Munday is not female, as is Sener-
ally believed, but is in reality Jerome
Clark, son of Hector NJ. Clark, OF Simp-
son county, Kentucky, and cousin to Hon.
Beverly L. Clark also cousin to Sandy
Clark. now in the State Prison for robbing
the mails. He is about twenty-five years
of age, of medium female stature, small
feet and hands, face beardless and quite
handsome, voice soft and feminine-alto-
gether making a counterfeit so perfect that
even John Morgan, on a certain occasion,
mistook him for female.
He belonged TO Morgan's command, and
was with him on his raid through Ohio.
His first attempt at deception in female
attire was played off upon his command
ing General. He was neatly dressed in
Bloomer costume, wore fancy military
cap, containing wig of female hair, which
IN long tresses flowed down carelessly
over his shoulders. Thus attired, he was
introduced to his chieftain by some of his
comrades in arms as Miss Sue Munday,
who, under the irresistible promptings o.
patriotism. was earnestly solicitous to OBJ
tain position in his command, favorable
to the development of her highly intensih-
ed sympathies and proves in behalf of
the rebellion. Morgan, struck with the
beauty and heroic bearing of Miss Mum
day, at once consented to enroll her, and
give her desirable position. But, on in
quiring particularly in reference to her
name, she replied, jerome Clark, sir.
When the merriment resulting from his
successful experiment had subsidized, Nor
gan remarked, "All right, boys; we will
have use for Sue Munday." 1t followed
that Clark, in the character Of Sue Mum
day, rendered invaluable service to John
Morgan.

MURDERS IN TENNEssER.-The Knox
vile Wing (Brownlow's paper) says that
Jesse Mays, Henry Yokely, Samuel Erich,
Pleasant Morris, and Mr.. Early, five in
all, were murdered at Sound Gap, between
Hawkins and Green counties, Tennessee.
The Wing calls upon Union soldiers, or
citizens, to hang or shoot Thomas Rogers,
Alb. Crabtree, Lorenzo Porter, and thief
by the name of Smith, who committed
these murders. or hang an equal number
of active rebels in the same ncighborhood.
These guerrilla outrages are the bitter
fruits of secession, and continue to curse
the State after the rebel armies are driven
from it. And vet Southern men talk of
the rebel army. as last resort, breaking
up into guerrilla bands in order to prolong
the struggle. When they do that, they
will be without the pale of all laws gov
erning civilized warfare and will be hanged
or shot, when caught, as assassins and
highway robbers. The secession citizens
themselves will assist in their cxtermina-
ton. They may for awhile be the terror
of particular ncighborhoods, but, being
hunted down and treated as outlaws, they
will not long curse the country.

CR1r1cs CR1TIcIsED.-A public speaker
in New York, referring to the fact that
the European military critics pretend to
ind fault with the slow movements Of the
war in this country. said:
II remember that the great Wellington

Spain, country as great IS Virginia. and
then he retired because of reverses else
where. Four nations Of Europe took two
years to occupy the Crimea. country as
large as New Jersey. England took
twenty-eight months to repress the Sepoy
rebellion, about Us great an undertaking
as to put down q rebellion among the ne
groes of South Carolina. France has in
more than year, succeeded in getting
only about 1870 miles into Mexico, where
she holds very insecure position. Eng

cising the movements of our armies.

He also told Atzerott he would not have any
thing to do with the murder OF johnson; when
Booth said that Harold had more courage
that he wanted Atzcrott to be with Harold to
get him to do it.
There was a meeting at q restaurant about
