The Three Month's Volunteers.
OM of th. .JX.T. exchanges aUUa that nearly
taa.thftusaud of our beat troops, will be going
born by the time Congress meets. This is
much to be regretted but cannot be helped. The
three months' regiments are very generally bu
siness .reen. who cannot leave their business tor
the eampaige without pecuniary ruin to them
selvefe The three Connecticut regiments will
generally return at the end of the time for which

tegmenta, but there is not one of them all that
will not most willingly remain temporarily be

naces tbe government end country.
Ts Gsakd Lodos or Fait Masoks of Hw
Yost, At the session of the Grand Lodge of
Free and Accepted Masons for the State of Hew
York, held in New York city last week, the fol
lowing resolutions in reference to the seceding
and oon-iatercourse declaration of the Grand
Lodge of Virginia, were unanimously adopted
mid applause :
JUtobtd, That the decree of non-intercourse
recently promulgated by the Grand Lodge
should ana does not exonerate the Masons hail
ing from tbiaiurutdiction, now on or hereafter to
be on the soil of Virginia, or elsewhere, from
the performance of those high end holy Masonic
duties toward Masons owing allegiance to the
Grand Lodge of Virginia, which are impera

Capt. Wentxe'a Davenport Company, waa reject

All the officers of the regimentpetitionedtohave
him restored, but in vain. The correspondent
of the Dubuque Herald thus speaks of the mat

A few years ago there raged a fierce war be
ween Holstein and Denmark, and one time Hen
ne, leader ol a forlorn hope, attacked a ens tie, aud
waa the first one to lay his hands on the enemy's
rampans. A hissing volley of lead greeted him
five balls took effect in one arm and four in
the other : and lucky for him waa it that bis
head had not reached tbe level of that wall of
fire when his grasp wasso rudely loosed. Well,
in short, his right arm was saved, but his left
was amputated, leaving, however, etump enough
to hold a sword under it, if the right were need
ed for pistol or bridle. One of the best swords

The Army Worm in Illinois.
[From the Prairie Farmer.]
JACKSON COUNTY, May 27.
Eat. Prairie Farmer: I am sorry to
state the destructive "Armr Worm" is upon
as in innumerable multitudes. (Scarcely a
meadow or grass plat will escape entire de
struction. So numerous are tbey in some
places after having mowed down lbs mea
dows, tbey next attack tbe young corn, tbe
wheat, and oven clean the weeds before
them. And it is even - difficult in some
places- to , keep tbem ont of the' bouses.
This is no exaggeration, but on the contra
ry, falls far short of a full description of their
proceedings. - '
Tbey made their appearance about the
last days of April, in the meadows and
and grassy yards aud plats. The cold
weather and backward spring favored, thejr
growth and increase, for they dread the hot
sun. Having eaten out tbe meadows, and
warm weather coming on, they begun to
travel from fiold to field, in some . places
causing tbe roads to appear as, a black, mo
ving masv The hogs would devour, until
satiated, and then lyiug down to rest,woud
instantly be covered with the worms.
Ditching against them, appears to. be th e
most effectual method of warding off .their
attacks,

Douglas' Opinion of Davis.
Senator Douglas hsd a power of will al
most unequaled, which he Hon. Schuyler
Colfax likens to the roassiv,driFngi .wheel
of a locomotive, propelling, not only the
engine itself, bat the fsr reaching train be
hind. Mr. Colfax says:
Though widely separated , front . Judge
Douglas in our. political affiliations, our, re
lations with him during the many years we
have known biro,, were always personally
cordial. But this was. only in accordance
with his usage. He would invite to bis ta
ble the very : men with whom he; had tbe
sharpest political encounters, and perhaps
tbe next day enter the lists again with ibera.
in all tbe . acerbities pf controversy. lie
would often remark;, that he tried to pay up
bis political debts as he went-along, ee.thet
he would have no trouble with thero in aoj
cial intercourse, and would leave none for
his executors to settle, He so rarely at
tacked or denounced any on in social eon
venation, that we, were struck, years ago,
with remarks of hia, addressed to a Massa
chusetts Congressman and ourself. in retard
to Jefferson Davis, whom be declared then,
with apparently prophetic forecast, would
prove himself utterly disloyal to his coun

Gen. Scott's Plan to Capture Richmond.
Rome cariosity hunter went to General
Scott tbe other day to ascertain bia plans
in regard to advancing troops on Richmond
Tbe General informed him confidentially
that tbe advance, of course, would be. very
rapid. The Fire Zouaves would lead the
way aa soon aa it was determined to take
Rich mood, and tbey would employ
one in Richmond to ring,tba Je-beDs, and
th Zouaves would aeoo a upon it. -
The Character of the Troops at Washington.

Tbe Washington correspondent -of the
Cioeinnati Commercial writes! ' ' ' "
" Indeed tbe general sobriety, constant po -liteness
and the accompanying Self-respect
of the soldiers is most gratifying If I
should search for impoliteness lipre J iliojild
not go to the camps among the private, sol
diers, but to the departments.., where, rhen
have ' axes of one kind or another, to be
ground. Thousands of the private, soUijers
nave the faces of gentlemen of .eaucatiort
and understanding. There is reported to bo
a great contrast between the 'southern" offi
cers and privates, in favor of the former.' I
have seen regiments here in which I think
tbe contrast is 'decidedly ' in favor of the
privates. It is a most interesting study to
mark the faces of the men of regiments, as
tbey arrive and march up tbe avenue.- - You
see high platoons of high-nosed, firm-jawed,
Beavuy-Bearded, keen-eyed men who never
left home to go a soldiering for the fun of
the . thing.'.- They- -have felt it a duty
