A Rebellious Militia.

We copy the following from the Vicks-
burg Times of the twenty second instant:
The military forces of the State of Missls-
sippi do not seem to be under the very best
OF discipline. An order comes from the
commander-in- through the proper
channels, directed to the captains and chief
men in command of the troops at Vicks-
burg, to deliver up certain arms and accOu
trements in their possession belonging TO
the sovereign State, and, lo these mighty
men of war coolly inform their superior
officer that they will do no such thing. The
Adjutant General, having no force at his
tue of necessity and retires in good order
without his arms. What more could
he do. What could Grant. Sher-
man, a Bismarck, or a Napoleon do
under similar circumstances. One man,
even if he is an adjutant general, can't we'll
surround $50. Probably no work on STRAIT
egg known to the profession would recon-
mend such an attempt. But the adiutant
general has his remedy, as these insubordi-
sorrow. Wait until they find themselves
intangled in the meshes of red tape, while
courtsmartial in front of them, cOurtsmar-
tiaJ to the right OF item and courtsmartial
to the rear Of them, thunder and rattle, and
we venture to say they will be glad to sur
render at discretion. When the valiant
adjutant once opens his legal batteries we
predict there will be worse 0dor than that
of villainous saltpetre.
But. seriously, why were not the arms
surrenderedl We supposed it to be the
first duty of the soldier to obey orders,
without stopping to discuss the propriety.
But, if even that were not the case, we
think the commauder-in- chief has the best
of the argument. The arms can do no good
here. They only serve to render disturb
ance of the peace more probable, and more
disastrous if it should occur. They have
been the cause already of too much excite
ment, and will remain, SO long as they are
here, standing menace to the peace and
good order of the city. We think it would
have been better tor all parties if the order
had been promptly obeyed.

EXCITEMENT IN POINTE COUPEE.-B. j.
West, and other prominent merchants,
waited upon Governor Kellogg, yesterday,
with statement that news had been re-
ceived by them of threatened raid by
negroes upon store located at Elmwood,
near Red River landing, in Point Coupee
parish, and expressing the desire of people
in the neighborhood that troops be sent
there to allay their apprehensions. Cover
nor Kellogg at once issued an order for
Captain Gray, of the Metropolitan Brigade,
to proceed to the spot by first boat, who
will, if circumstances require, have troops
sent up and placed at his disposal, forth
with. This, by way of precaution; but the
impression is that the movement amounts
to nothing more than contemplated bur
glary of the premises in question by certain
lawless characters of the neighborhood. In
any case, the fellows will find their match
in Captain Gray.

Two lovers by . mossgrowl spring;
They leaned soft cheeks together there,
Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the wO0ing thrushes sing.

Two. welded from the portal slept;
The bells made happy carollings,
The air was soft rs tanning wings,
White petals on the pathway slept.
O pure-eyed bride!

Two faces DER q cradle bent;
Two hands above the head were locked;
THESE pressed each other while they rocked,
Those watched life that love had sent.

The red light fell about their knees
On heads tn At rose by slow degrees
Like buds upon the lily spire.

The two still sat together there,
The red light shone about their knees;
But all the heads oy slo " degrees
