Military Commander Re-

In obedience to an order of the
President General Irwin Mcdowell
was yesterday removed from
command of the Fourth Military
District of the South, and General
Gillem appointed in his stead
The District referred to comprises
the States of Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi, and it is evident that the
present action of the President is
caused by General McDowells
summary removal of the Cover
nor and Attorney General of Mis-
sissippi. This conduct on the part
of the General was wholly unex-
pected, as the two officials men
toned had retained their offices
under previous commanders with
out any difficulty occurring, and
no charges were ever brought a.
gainst them of being Instructions

Don't Kill Him.

Many farmers have noticed in
their fields a large black beetle,
with most brilliant golden dots
placed in rows on its back. DIR.
Fitch says ats eggs produce the
corm-grub killer. 1t is a most in
veterate foe of the cut-worm, grasp
ing the worm in its strong jaws,
and, in spite of its writhing and
struggling, securely holding it.
When it finds these worms in plen-
ty, it gorges and surfeits itself up
on them till it is SO glutted and dis
tended as to be scarcely able to
stir, for it never knows how to let
a cut-worm alone when it meets
him. 1t is continually hunting
these worms, feeding on nothing
else if it can obtain them. Both it
and the golden-dotted beetle which
produces it, therefore, should neY-
er be harmed?'

A Mother Sells her Daugh-
ter for Two Thousand
Dollars,

| DOllaTS.
The following disgraceful trans
action took place at Owantonna,
| and is taken from the Winona Ill. J
Republican:
Our neighboring city Of Owan-
tonna has been agitated and ex-
cited over an elopement affair
which occurred there last week,
the particulars Of which were re-
ceived from a gentleman who came
on in the train yesterday.
At Owantonna resided a milliner-
ess, Mrs. Myrick, who was the
mother of a young and fascinating
daughter of about sixteen. A
very respectable young man named
Odell, had been paying the daugh-
ter attention for some time, and it
was currently reported and be-
lieved that they were engaged
Matters stood thus when a man
from Chicago, or some other city,
further East, to whom Mrs. Myr-
ick was indebted in the sum of
$4,000, came to Owantonna and
made the acquaintance OF Miss My
rick. He no sooner saw her than
he determined to possess her. and.
being a man unscrupulous as to
what means he employed, he offered
Mrs. Myrick to release her from
her obligation of $4,000 if she
would give him her daughter
Whether she required much argu-
ing or not, Is not known; but she
finally acceded to the proposition.
There was another party to be
consulted, however. The young
and innocent girl shrunk from the
idea of being. sold--bartered for a
price-and that to a man whose
character seemed anything but
talr, and whose purpose appeared
colored with dishonor. She hast
ened to her lover with the tale, and
they promptly decided toelude the
vigilance of the mother, and thwart
her miserable designs by a speedy
marriage. They took the first
train going East, and were soon,
as they supposed, beyond the Iowa
line, but unfortunately they alight-
ed sooner from the cars than they
intended, and they were obliged to
take carriage and drive to Cresco.
The delay gave the mother time to
overtake them. She telegraphed
to Cresco and had them arrested,
and started back with her daugh-
ter, but did not go back to Owan-
tonna, and their whereabouts is
not yet known.

A child eight months old, at
Dubuque, Iowa, showed such un.
easiness, a few days since, that its
parents were led to an examina-
ton, resulting in the discovery
that a bone of the leg, the fbula,
was out of place. A physician
while trying to reset the bone, dis
covered largSsewing needle firm
ly imbedded in the flesh and pierc-

this needle had been in over two
weeks, and was instrumental in
dislocating the bone. The child
seemed much relieved when the
needle was removed and the bone
reset.

"X, a lad on whom fortune had

brother, a gentleman in high posi-
ton. Since his sisters marriage,
D. will recognize neither the wife
nor the husband. One day he
met the unhappy X, who came up
and held out his hand. Never

law. Howl you refuse your hand
to me? 2 said the late bridegroom.

like to speak with your sister, who

reason have you for bearing such
a grudge against me, since | have

A curious case is reported as
occurring in Michigan recently
A man was charged with NAL
treating, starving, and finally
numbering a child of his first
wife's. But there was nobody to
testify against him but his second
wife, and the law holding that a
wife cannot testify against her
husband, the william was likely to
escape punishment; when it was
discovered that the woman had a
husband living when she married
this man; and, consequently, that
she was not his lawful wife, and
could give testimony against him.
This she did, and he was sent to
the penitentiary for life.

MUSIC IN CAMP.
BY JOHN B. THOMPSON.

BY JOHN B. THOMPSON.
Two armies covered hill and plain,
Where Rappahannock's waters
Red, deeply crimsoned with the stain
Of battles recent slaughters.
The summer clouds lay pitched like tents
In meads of heavenly azure;
And each dread gun of the elements
Slept in its hid embraslre.
The breeze so softly blew it made
No forest leaf to quiver,
And the smoke of the random cannonade
Rolled slowly from the river.
And now, where circling hills locked down,
With cannon grimly planted,
Der listless camp and silent town
The golden sunset slanted.
When on the fervid air there came
A strain, now rich, now tender;
The music seemed itself afame
With days departing splendor.
A Federal band, which eve and morn
Played measures brave and nimble,
Had just struck up with flute and horn
And lively clash and cymbal.
Down hocked the soldiers to the banks,
Till, margined by its pebbles,
One wooded shore was blue with ssYanks,''
And one was grey with '.Rebels."
Then all was still, and then the band,
With movements light and tricksy,
Made stream and forest, hill and strand,
Reverberate with Dixie"
The conscious stream, with FURNISHED glow,
Went proudly DER its pebbles,
But thrilled throughout its deepest flow
With yelling of the Rebels.
Again pause, and then again
The trumpets pealed sonorous,
And '.I Iankee Doodle" was the strain
To which the shore gave chorus.
The laughing ripples shoreward few
To kiss the shining pebbles;
Loud shrieked the swarming Boys in Blue
Defiance to the Rebels.
And yet once more the bugles sang
Above the stormy riot;
No shout upon the evening rang
There reigned holy quiet.
The sad, low stream, its noiseless tread
Poured DER the glistening pebbles;
And silent now the Yankees stood,
And silent stood the Rebels.
No unresponsive soul had heard
That plalntive notes appealing,
So deeply 'Home, Sweet Home had stirreu
The hidden founts of feeling.
Or blue or grey, the soldier sees,
As by the wand Of fairy,
The cottage meath the live oak trees,
The cabin by the prairie.
Or cold or warm, his native skies
Bend in their beauty DER him.
Seen through the tear-mist in his eyes,
His loved ones stand before him.
As fades the iris after rain
In Aprils fearful weather,
The vision vanished as the strain
And daylight died together.
But memory, walked by music's art,
Expressed in simplest numbers,
Subdued the sternest Yankees heart,
Made light the Rebels slumbers.
And fair the form of Music shines,
That bright, celestial creature;
Who still, mid wars embattled lines,
Gave this one touch OF Nature.

"The rebel-Democratic-J acobin

We clip the above from the

the Radical press condemned the
admission of Tennessee, because
of the shameful prescription of
half of the white people of the
State. The government of the
State is negro, and the Radical
party there is a negro party. I'm
less there is change in the present
