It is humiliating to witness the conduct of some

of the secessionists they come to camp as Union men, receive tho courtesies and hospitalities of the

officers and then go off with curses on their lips.

Thus it is, that secession makes hypocrites, traitors,

and cowards. A secessionist came to Evansville

on Saturday and belched forth some of his bragg

and bluff, and denunciation, iii a style peculiarly

Southern. A very quiet gentleman heard him for I

a few moments, stepped up and said, "Sir, all you

have said is a d—d lie." The fellow blustered

about, drew bis pistol and threatened, but quick a.i

thought his denouncer had out his revolver,and told him to come on. The chivalry and bravery of the

secessionist suddenly vanished, and ho hurried to

the boat without attending to the business for

which he came. One scoundrel hid himself ycs-

t.'rdny and could not be found.

Last evening I had the pleasure of liu int'erview with I'r. Caslv, Senator in the Kv. Legislature,

S from Henderson. Ho is'just from Frankfort, saj-s

that Magoffin and Rrcckinridgo are using every

possible effort to precipitate tho State out of the

CI oil. Union. He is a strong Union man. and believes

they ivill overrule the madcaps and hold Kentucky

firmly to tlic Union. lie.thinks Magojnn is vicious

and bloodthirsty and will resort to any meqns for

tho accomplishment of his mischievous ends.

The Kentucky Legislature has parsed a resolu

tion explaining her positiou of "armed neutrality,"

in alight differing materially from the proclama

tion of tho Governor. They will not oppose tho execution of Fedoral laws—make no opposition to

reinforcing Newport Barracks but having as much

as tliey can do to keep the secessionists down, will

not furnish

troops-

This put a new auJ diffcrcnt

Thi:

phase on the position assumed b}' Magoffin. John

C. Breckinridge is still engaged in plotting treason,

still aiming to overthrow the Government he has

sworn to support. IIow then, can he take a seat in' the Senate of tho United States It would bo

right if lie makes his appearance there, to havi

him arrested for treason ho has given aid and

comfort to the enemies of the Government, and is

as much a traitor, as if he had shouldered arms and fired nt tho Federal troops. No such m*c

should be allowed a sent in the U. S. Senate.

Another one of our soldiers was accidently shot

in the arm yesterday. A luinie bull struck at the

elbow, but fortunately missed the arteries and bone:--,

and inflicted only a flesh wound. It was-an act of.

extremecareloj: ness,on the part of the man whose gun went off. i,

We have ii.w tied up here two flat boats wiihsnme

eighteen hundred barrelsjof salt andoMicr articles bound South. If the Southerner: get noither salt-

nor i/e this .-mremer what will become of them?

The ladies of Kvansviilc gave tho officers a magnitiiccnt suppor just back of thchsspital ou Satur

day cv,c 11 ing last. A large number of ladies and

gentlemen were proient. .Tho Itegimenial band

discoursed its thrilling strains of music and the

hearts of all present seemed to swell with emotions

of pleasure. Many dclicacics were handed mc for

the sick at tho hospital. Our stcwart, Jeremiah

Jewett. whose wit and anecdote is a joy to the Reg

iment, dispeiised the good things and received the hearty thanks of those ou whom thchand of afflic

tion haud been laid. Thu ladies intend giving a

similar supper to caeh company if allowed bv the

officer.'.

The people of Evansville feel and manifest"the

deepest sympathy for the officers and soldiers. They

not only arc willing to do all in their power to min

ister to their temporal wants, but day and night are

they remembered at tho thrown of grace. Most

earnost petitions ascend that Heaven's richest bless

ings may descend and rest upon them. There

were about3,000 visitors at camp yesterday. Most

of our young men arc in good health some two or

three are complaining, but nothing serious.

Tho forces seem to be mustering for a terrible

eouflict but. the end cannot be doubtful. Blood

may flow until our streams flow with crimson cur

rents thousands may fall on tho' field of battle,

giving tip their lives in the cause of justice, right

and government but the crisis must bo met! Hc-

bellion and treason must be crushed The flag of

our country must be borne aloft until every heart

shall own allegiance.

The cannon has just baoiV 'SrcJ for the purpose

of stopping a boat.

The weather is very fine, all nature smiles so

beautifully that it is hard to realize that our country is in a state of war.

of party strife will again disturb the harmony

which should exist between neighbors and friends.

,VTe arc all members of the same great family, living

under the same flag, bound by tho same ties,, up

hare the welcome intelligence

that Bird's Point, Missouri, has been

lepoit occupied by a.detachment from Camp

Defiance, under direction of Captain Blenhaui, General McClelland's cngin-eer-in-cliief. Next to tho occupation of Cairo itself, the possession of Bird's Point, was clearly the most important business of the hour. A paragraph which we clip from the St. Louis Democrat intimates that a nest of Secessionists are arming at Charleston, a few miles southwest of Bird's Point. They will doubtless receive tlie attention of Gen. Prentiss or (.Jen. Harney at an early da\*.

Now if Missouri is a ioyal State, she will assist the officers of the Government. in holding and defending Bird's Point. If she is a disloyal State, it follows that the occupation of Bird's Point was not effected a moment too soon.— Chicago Tribune.

InlcresJisigSecnc in the Old School Presbyterian -General Assembly.

[From the Philadelphia Tress.]

.The prayer of the venerable JDr. Spring, of Now York, at the close of the morning session on Saturday, will not soon be forgotten. His resolution, looking to some patriotic expression of the Assembly in this time ofthe country's peril, had been under consideration. Every technical difficulty in the shape of points or order, for some reason unexplained, had been interposed against its adoption. The significant of the earnest invocation by this aged man of God is thus seen. After the most humble and touching appeals for the Church of his love and her immediate interests, bringing tears from many eyes, he supplicated the Divine-favor for his country—that God's care might be over it in this time of threatened overthrow^—that revolt might be put down—that tho Presidentof thoUnited States might be encouraged in his high duty of maintaining the authority and power of the Government—that prudence-, wisdom, firmness, and might from on high be given him—that our great chieftain, (alluding to Scott,)who for so.many years had carried in triumph our national flag, might yet, before., his eyes closed in death, have the joy of seeing that flag re-establish-ed, and waving in its beauty and glory at every point, from the Lakes to the Gulf and from Eastern shore to Western. -.

From the New York Times Con-ttspahdencp.].' CAPTURE OS?

Particulars Ellsworth's

of Col. Oeiitb.

The Zouaves, on board the'Iteamers Baltimore and Mount Vernon, reached the wharfat Alexandria about 5 o'clock.

As the steamers approached the rebel sentinels fired their guns in the air and retreated back upon the main body, said to have been about five hundred strong. Simultaneously with the landing of the Zouaves the first Michigan regiment entered Alexandria by the l'ba.fl leading from the Long Bridge, and proceeded direct to the railroad depot, of which they took possession, capturing a"

vtroop

of rebel cavalry

numbering one hundred, with their horses and equipments. The Zouaves landed in good order in double rjiiick'timc, each company forming in company order on the streot facing the river. Company E, Capt. Leveridge, was the first to disembark. Capt. Leveridge's company was at onc-e detailed to destroy the railroad track leading to Hicbmond, which service they promptly performed. After detailing company F-, Col. Ellsworth directed the Adjutant to form tho regiment, and then with his Aid, Lieut.: Winder, and a file of men, started for tl cu

.e Telegraph office for the purpose of' !l

it-ting the wires.

Col.

proceeded in double quick time up the street. They had proceeded three blocks, when the attention of Col. Ellsworth was attracted by a large secession flag flying' from the Marshall House, kept by J. W. Jackson. Col. Ellsworth entered the hotel, and meeting a man in the hall asked, "Who put that flag up?'' The man answered,. "I don't knOw I am a boarder here." Col. Ellsworth. Lieut. Winner, the chaplain ol the regiment, Mr. House, a volunteer aid, and the four privates, went up to the roof, and Col. Llisworfh cut down the flag.

The party were returning down the stairs, preceded by private Francis H. Brow hull, of company A. As they left the attic, the man who had said he was a boarder, but who proved to be the landlord. Jackson, was met in the hall, having a double-barrelled gun, which he leveled at Brownell. Brownell struck up the gun with his musket, when Jackson pulled both triggers of the gun. The contents lodged iu the body of Col. Ellsworth, entering between tho third and fifth ribs. Col. Ellsworth was at the time rolling up the flag. lie fell forward on the floor of the hall and expired instantly, only exclaiming "My God."

Private Brownell, with the quickness of lightning, leveled his musket at Jackson and fired. The ball struck Jackson on the bridgo of the nose, and crashed through his skull, killing him instantly. As he fell, Brownell followed his shot by a thrust of his bayonet which, went through Jackson's body.

The companions of Col. Ellsworth, several in number, immediately posted themselves so as to command the halls of the hotel, and threatened to shoot the first man who showed his head outside of a door. In this way they stood for ten minutes. Their protract-' ed absence alarmed Adjutant Looser, who ordered company A, Capt. Coyle, to search for him. The company found

their commander dead, and their comrades in possession ot the hotel. A surgeon was then sent. for. but Col. Ellsworth was dead long before his arrival.

The company made a litter of muskets and placing the body of the Colonel on it returned to the boat, leaving, however, a detachment to guard the hotel, and make prisoners of all its occupants. The body was brought to the Navy yard, and there remains, awaiting the action of the War Department. After fitting ceremonies here, his remains will be taken to Mechanicsville, New York, for interment. His family resides at Mechanicsville. There were no other demonstrations of opposition to the occupation of the city.

The heart and the pericardium were not injured. The slugs, three in number/ lodged in the spinal column, fracturing the third and fourth vertebrae, and the third rib. The medical examination was made by order of President Lincoln, under care of Col. H. D. Stover, of New York.

The last thing Col. Ellsworth, did before, leaving Washington, was to write a letter to his father E. I)! Ellsworth, of Mechanicsville,. New York', and another to Miss Carrie Spafford, at Rockford, Illinois, to whom he was engaged to be married. His last act as he left the tent to embark on the steamer, was to look at her portrait, and to place it in his bosom. '.

Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative.

"We cannot too earnestly recommend to the attention of our aged friends, or others who -liavo been so unfortunate as 1b lose their hair, the restoring properties of Professor Wood's wonderful discovery. Certificates of its efficacy are constantly coming in, and a village,can hardly be. found in the West, where living witnesses cannot be fonnd to ccrtify from experience that It will not only restore gray hair to its original color, but will resforo to the bold-head the locks of youth and beotsty^ thus furnishing an effectual antidote for tho ruva-' ges of time .and disease. Among those who ccrtify positively to its efficacy in accomplishing its work, is Judge Brcesc, of this Circuit, together with other responsible witnesses. Grey headed bachelors nnd widowers who desire to make their market, and all others afflicted as above described,deserve to bear their misfortunes without sympathy, if they will not arajl Iheuiselvos of the offei ed remedy.
