GLEANINGs.
A good many names Of ardent patriots
| who did not get enough fighting during the
rebellion were enrolled yesterday by Mr..
| Waggaman's clerks as McEnery volunteers
! and they do say that their desire to "kill a
nigeer" or two is all but irrepreesible. The
| HcEnery police. too. are said TO be eager
| for the fray, one really gallant leader
among them actually expressing desire TO
clean ous the United States troops, should
| they dare to per form their duty of support
| ing the legal authorities.
Generals I0ngstreet and Badger are not
| in the least discounted BY these threats
of violence. however, and assure the Gov
ernor that they can overcome any body of
| iusurrectionists that it is at all probable
can be organized; although the federal
troops will promptly assist them should an
actual demonstration be made.
The cavalry. which was under matching
! orders, has been ordered to remain here,
! we are informed. until further instructions.

Senator Trumbull. by authority Of Mr..
Warmoth, denies the authenticity ct the
following dispatch, which appeared in this
paper, sent by him to Ar. McEnery: "If
