kind of farce, were It not that it is really a matter of serious moment, at a Urns when the country is struggling to preserve its national existence, that these gonUemen should Toe perpetually airing their personal grievances. History toils us that Nero fiddled whilo Rome as burning. I cannot Ukea Frank Blair, black as some of bis enemies paint bim, to the Boman tyrant, therefore ibe simile a ill not hold good. But have you not oiXen seen a lot of crazy and drunken Art men belaboring each other with bludgeons and bricks, row-bars and Lose-wrenches, while the property they were organised to preserve is burning in eight of their disgraceful and senseless brawl Well, I look upon this Missouri quarrel ssjuet such an exhibition of madness and folly. For Cod's sake, gonUemen, if you have any regard lor the common safety let ns Lave no more of it. If you cannot agree to si ske bands and quit, why. at least agrea to quit. In tbe Senate, day before yesterday, Grate Brown made an assault upon the President, of the most violent and mtligoaat chancier; and this in the face of the fact that Mr. Lincoln is tbe choice of nine-tenths of tbe loyal people of the country. Bach an attack exhibits either a vast amount of moral courage on tbe part of Mr. Brown, or a complete and perfect ignoranee of the opinions and feelings of the great mass of the loyal people of the country. But In either view of the caeo it does not tell well tor the patriotism or political wisdom of the person who iU OEM. GRANT Is the observe of nil. Wherever ths unpretending little fellow goes he is followed by a gaping crowd oi citizens and soldiers. It is evidently a great bore to bim but he exhibits bis usual fortitude. He was serenaded last sight at Willard's by the band of the 1-ilh infantry. Hon. E. B. Washburn of Illinois, appeared at the window and returned thanks in bis name, at tbe same li ne presenting tbe General, who bowed and merely said: "Gentlemen, you will have to excuse me from speaking." There was great enthusiasm at sight of the General and the crowd did not separate for some time. Since be bus been here, the General has had a lengthy private interview with the Secretary of War and Gen. HaUeck, it is rumored on the subject of the plans of the coming summer's campaign. i.

A Swindler frsm Baltimore Arrested 1m Ksirope Avxtrnordioary ana liase of 11 Im by a Liverpool Detective. From the Liverpool Mercury, Feb. 10. In Aucust last, in the city of Baltimore, a very extraordinary swindle was perpetrated by a person namea donn a. new, wno Kept a tavern there, and who. bv a series of adroit and apparently legal means, committed a number ot lianas. Among ms victims was the quartermaster of the place, whose, clerk he managed to swindle out of a receipt, on the eronnd oi bavins' contracted for a large number of horses, to the amount of By this means he managed to forge the paymaster's name, and obtained an order on a bank payable twenty days, and with this document he was enabled to raise from the Citizens' Bank. Baltimore, to which he was introduced, a sum of 440,000. The day after it was dif covered that the order was a lor-gery, and that Piehl had absconded. It was subsequently found that he left America for Europe, and it was supposed that he had come to England. In September last Mr. Ma- guire, late Superintendent of Police, and now the head of the Private Detective and Inquiry Office, No. 7 Doran's lane, in this town, was applied to on the subject, and requested to take the affair into his bands and look alter the forger, which he did. By a process known only to himself, Mr. Maguire discovered that Piehl, with his family, bad arrived at a place called Petschan, in Bohemia, where his father resides. A respectable firm In Liverpool had been instructed to give Mr. Maguire any assistance in case the wanted" party should turn up, snd after some delsy the necessary documents were procurea rrom America ana placed in the detective's hands, who had gone to London and made inquiry about the movements of PiehL Beine- fortified with all the necessary legal documents, Maguire proceeded to Prague and took up his residence at the Hotel de He soon discovered that a short time previously the maa he was in search of, along with bis family, had been stopping- at the same house. From this he traced him to Petschan, where Piehfs lather resides, and from inquiry there be discovered that Piehl had gone, to Leipsic some three weeks before this. At this point there was a standstill. All trace of the fucritive seemed lost: but Ma guire was not to be put off the scent, and tbe more difficulty presented Itself the more strenuous his exertions became for the man's caTjtnre. He returned to Enirland once more. On the 4th instant he proceeded from Liver pool for the continent, ana traveiiea lor three days and nights, until he reached Glessen, in Germany, where he was fortunate enough to light on the individual that he was so anxiously seeking for. When Mr. Maguire told him the charge, and stated that he would have to return across the Atlantic, he replied he hoped not, ana expreseea a wisn to settle tbe affair, if possible, without the alternative of going back to America. He then communicated to Maguire some important information relative to five bonds of $1,000 each, which he alleged were stolen from him by his father while at Petschan. On procuring this information, Maeuire, having left the delinquent in safe keeping, proceeded to the latter place, and after traveling for three days and nights by rail, coach and sledge, he proceeded to the house of Piehl's father. Being assisted bv the local police of the place, he sacceeded after much difficulty in obtaining the five bonds of $1,000 each from him. Next day Maguire proceeded to Glessen, where he arrived on Saturday, the 13th instant, and saw his man again, and in about two hours bonds, gold and silver to the amount of $26,000 were handed over to him by Piehl, whom he then set at liberty, and on Monday morning returned to this town after his exciting and successful chase. The money was paid over to the firm above alluded to by Maguire. Parson Brownlow on the Methodist Cnni-ch, Sonth. From tbe Knoxnlle Whig In November, 1863, the editor of this paper delivered a speech in the McKendree Methodist Church, in Nashville, to an immense audience of citizens and soldiers the concludes portion of which relates to the of the church, and is as follows But I now come to the religious branch of my subject; and I wish to say at the outset, that if I seem to use harsh language, I do so after the most mature deliberation, and with a personal knowledge of tbe matters which I shall mention. And here I declare, that the worst class of men, so help me God, on Southern soil, are the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian and Episcopalian preachers. They ire unmitigated scoundrels. Some noble exceptions exist, but as a body, they are corrupt, treacherous and vile. Last month the Methodist Church, of which I have been a member thirty-five years, held a conference in Athens, which was presided over by a hoary headed old man, Bishop Early. With one sweeping resolution, they expelled from the ministry all the Union preachers of the Houston Conference. I know these Union preachers well, and they are men of piety and talents. One of these is an old man who bas been a preacher for forty years, and was a Major under Andrew Jackson, at the battle of Horse-Shoe, at New Orleans, and at Mobile. This old traitor. Bishop Early, also issuea an oraer to tne rTesiain? tiaers to expel all local loyal preachers within the Conference. This order includes myself, who have been a local preacher in that Conference. I am going back, and intend to call a Conference of the local preachers, and we will expel the last devil of these rebel priests. We will put these seceders and rebels out, and recover the church property which rightfully belongs to us. and not to the traitors. This Methodist Book Concern in your city, which bas published so much treason, is not tbe property of the rebels, it belongs to the loval Methodists, and we mean to have it back. Her is a copy of the church discipline, and it most positively enjoins upon all our preachers obedience to tbe laws and constituted authorities of the land. A transgression of this injunction makes the obender liable to expulsion from the church. When the Elders are ordained, they are brought arount the altar you have seen tbe ordinations here frequently, for all the elders were ordained here, aa this was aa aristocratic congregation a bon tan, uprter-tendom church and there, in the presence of God and the congregation, the Bishop lavs his bands upon their heads and swear them to oppose ail disloyal doctrines. Thus these rebel preachers are perjured, foully, basely Serjuree. Early, when he was ordained a iahop, took oath to promote peace, and harmony, law and order. I heard him swear the lie myself in Columbus, Parson Sawrie, who knows him well, in some private transactions, sajs that Early is a miserably corrupt old Let us believe these rebels, always, when they testify against one another. These parsons of the Methodist publishing. House employed me to write a book exposing that infernal scoundrel ol the Baptist Church, Elder J. R. Graves. They then denounced him for all that was vile and rascally, but now they are all standing shoulder to shoulder In stirring up rebellion. They are the worst scoundrels In the Ijiilon, and 1 intend to expose their damnable hypocrisy, villainy, and falsehood to the gaze of the world. No man living but tne can do it, for I know them better than ny one else. I intend to resurrect the Knox-yille Whig, and pour hot shot into their rotten hulks. Preachers had more to do with treason than anv other men. Bo me sneaking- scoundrel wrote me a note this morning ask ing my opinion oi A nay jounson. lucre is no snore tnconsletexicy in Andy Johnson and mvself working- torether in the cause of the Union, than for MoFerrin and Graves to pull tttrf-her la the yoke of the deviL to destroy toe GoTCnnneJit. When the villainy of these WTetches shall be exposed the revelation will shock the country. These Southern Methodist preachers began tbe work of disunion years ago. John C. Calhoun, ths arch-originator or treason, sent for Bishop Capers and bad a long private conference with him at tbe Urn. the split occurred in our church. This was the entering wedge of disunion. 1 mean to show these traitors the scorn and abhorrence of their coutrymen. I have spoken much longer than I intended, ana wuj, conclude. n-pwen Pera nrowned the TTpet-tlujc of si Ksst-Foar Other Bt cued. At noon yesterday a most distressing accident occurred on the East Kiver, which resulted in the loss of the lives of seven persons. Since the use of Bicker's Island as a recruiting depot there has been a ferry established between that place and Port Morris, consisting of an ordinary row boat, which has been used for conveying the friends of soldiers to and from the Island. The boatmen have frequently been cautioned against overloading their frail croft, bat have disregarded the caution and continued to carry heavy freights. Testerday nina persona, together with three boatmen started in small bout for the island. The twelve persons so crowded it that it was wilh difficulty managed. Alter reaching a point about a doreu arde from tbe shore the boat lurched, partially filled with water and sank. Seven of the cccr.panta, namely. Julia, Eva and Le Alile, Mrs. Maniy, a cniid 7 yeara of age, a I ieiitenunt of artillery and a lady, both un-knov a theriDe Keefe, Eliza Schults and the tbice boatmen were saved. Amang the latter was one weeks, the owner of the boat. It is stated that the accident was caused by the Lit utr-nict who was intoxicated at the time snd would not keep his place. There was a rumor last evening that some of the rodies bad been recovered, and that an inquest would 1 held on taem this morning. If. ZVm, 14fA. i A Dialogue. From the Chattanooga Daily Ossette. Q. What cause do tbe rebels claim to have lor trying to destroy our Government A. None. 1 Q. What pretext? A. The fugitive slave code of some oi the Northern States. Q. What effect could a law to Maine or Massachusetts have upon a citizen of Georgia or Alabama A. Not any whatever. Q. Why, then, did the rebels make this a pretext A. Because they had not any other. The leaders well knew that this was no rightful pretext, but they knew also that they could not divert the mind of the eenerai masses without urging some excuse for secession and as they could hatch up nothing else they were forced to urge this. Q. Upon whose shoulders does this war A. The poor man's. -Q. Whose soul is stained with Via blood spilled A. The rich man's. Q. Who, then, is to blame for this war i A. The rich men of the Sonth. Q. Upon whom then should the punishment rest? A. Upon the rich men. Q. What should be done with the poor man? A. He should be pardoned. Q. Who are the 6uppoiters of the rebel army? A. The slaves. Q. How do the slaves support the rebel army? A. By raising supplies in food and clothing hat, then, ought L' nele Sam to do with them A. Liberate them. Q. Is it right to make soldiers out of slaves A. It is just as proper and right for them to uphold the flag of tbe Union by fighting as it is for them to uphold the rebellion by working. If the Union troops have the right to use a rebel battery against its original owners, they certainly have the right to use their slaves against them. Their being property does not destroy this right, for batteries are property also. A traitor is not any too good to be shot by a negro though he be as black as hell The 65th Illinois. Kjsoxvnxm, Feb. 29, 1634. Editors Chicago Tribune I understand that your paper, in a recent issue, contains a statement which does unintentional injustice to the 65th Illinois Infantry Volunteers. The statement is to the effect that the regiment named is the only one of tbe old Illinois regiments eligible to re-enlistment as veteran volunteers, whose determination in reference to that matter has not been made known. The 65th are not eligible to such re-enlistment, having more than a year to serve on the 1st of March, the date fixed by Congress ss that on which such re-enlistments shall cease. And the injustice done the regiment is in the impression conveyed, that, though privileged to re-enlist, they are unwilling to furnish that highest proof of devotion to the cause In which they are engaged. The contrary is the fact. Every possible effort has been made to induce the roper authorities to remove by especial or-er the disability in that respect under which the regiment labors and for six weeks past an application to the effect stated has been before the War Department, from which a favorable response is even yet hoped sines the regiment lacks less than a month of coming within the limits prescribed bv the last act of Congress on the subject of re-enlistments. Ton will much oblige ourselves and friends by publishing this statement. i SrxTT-FIFTH. "The Hog." From the Chattanooga Daily Gazette. Last summer I was employed as ai my detective and scout in Middle Tennessee, headquarters of the army of the Cumberland then being at Murfreesboro. On the 4th of June I was ordered by Col. Truesdale to operate in the vicinity of Stone Kiver Ford, located a few miles from Murfreesboro, on the Lebanon Pike. Col. Jarvis, a most worthy officer, and Colonel of the 13th O. V. 1., was in command at mo ora. i soon formed his acquaintance and commenc ed operations. A few nights afterwards I accompanied Capt. McCofioch, Co. 18th O. V. oat on a scout, and just before daylight the next morning we halted in iront oi a secesn noase I told a negro woman to tell the white folks that a company of Confederates were passing; in a few moments I saw the old lady and her daughters emerge from the house. They rushed to the gate, In their night garments, and saluted me. I introduced myself as Lieut. Johnson, of Alabama, whereupon the fair daughter rushea to me, ana ten you friend Hood, I never got such an all-fired good hug before nor since. It nukes me feel pleasant now. Capt. McColloch regretted that be was not in my boots. I find that such squeezes are net to be enjoyed by every one. Scoot. 15?" It is as we expected the copperheads are backing out of their bargain. Miss Emma Webb won't suit. The World assumes the peevishly oracular, and says: The lady wfll obUge ns by using her pretty face and graceful elocution in some more appropriate snd womanly profession." But the Philadelphia Age is more frank, and lets the cat out" after this fashion If any Joan of Arc be needed, the fluent Anna Dickinson has unquestionably the inside track, besides being endowed with a singular resemblance to the Maid of Orleans." Tub Militaby Calm. A perfect calm reigns in military circles everywhere. Nothing is transpiring worthy of note. In Tennessee, scarcely a band of guerillas has been heard of for weeks and certainly order, In Gen. Rousseau's district is as perfect as in any of the loyal States: The General's executive ability is of the finest order, as is evinced by the manner in which he has brought order ont of chaos, since his first installment as commander here. His liberal policy will contribute wonderfully to a restoration ot the State of Tetnessee to the Union. XashciHe Ctiion. InsolutU Cement. Basal DiecevaaY USEFUL AKD YALUA-BL1 -DISCOTEBT!
