This is' an account of one of Mtijor Gen eral John Logan's men. Gen. John, when a boy, was in the Mexican AVar. AVbcu lio rcturnetl bu studied law, and at the age of twenty-live lie was elected a Congressman by a vote almost unttuitiiotis. His district included the whole of Southern Illinois. His home is in Carbondttle, Jackson county, lie was the peoples idol. lie knew every body, and everybody knew him. He cun make a good speech, he ia a tirst rate law yer, and is one of the best dancers in the couutry. O, how he can dance. He look ed like a girl, and yet, with dark complex i'tp, every one took him to be part Indian. One reason whv the people liked him bo well, was because he was ti democrut, and hated the abolitionists. He used to give it to them hard. Once, when he spoke hero popular sovereignty, I asked him a question or two, such us Lincoln used to ask Douglas nt Freeport, which concerned him; but he culled mo a Yankee Abolition Preacher, which made the people laugh aud say it was good enough for me. However, they all went against Douglas, and that was bad for Logan. Whenever he undertakes a thing he docs his best. At this time lie commands in Northern Alabama, aud has liis headquarters at llutitsviUc, When the war broke out, he figured the matter to sic how it was ging, mid then went for the Government with all his might, soul and strength. Thousands deserted him and called him truitor: other thousands stuck to him. Some of hi relations lairly slnne w ith cupper. He has a younger brother, a good deal like him, who is true, lie raised one of the first regimerts, nr.d became its colonel. It is now file 31st Illi nois regiment, of volunteers. Then here-' signed Ids sent in Congress, and our bctiuti- fill friend J. T. Allen took h.is place. In those curly days of the war John was at Springfield, when a Mr. Grant came to him to tell him his troubles. This Grant was a tanner, and having nn iden that he could light a little, had raised a regiment and brought it to Springfield, where it was in camp. Hut the men had not been sworn in, and finding it a harder business than they expeetetl, principally on account ot poor beds, they were going to back out and go home. This was Mr. Grant's trouble, i lie could'tit see how to get ulong. It look ed as though he would have to go back to his tau-yard. Perhaps Logan could help him. "Can't you talk to them?'' said John. "No," says Grant." "I cm," says Johu. Call tin-Ill together." j They had all heard of him. He made them a speech two hours long. He told them all about our Government, and how the war commenced. The sweat rolled. He jerked off his coat and handkerchief. You never saw a man work harder in your life. He related stories that made them f littigh. and then he described a soldier's life . in Hitch beautiful language that one would think that no other life hud so many charms. ' When he got through the men were impa tient to be sworu in. for fear they might lose the chance. This was the way Mr. ' Grant got a start, and he has done mid dling well since then, for now he commands , ull the armies of the Great llepublic. A short time since John Logan's old regi- ; ment, the :!tst, came home on a furlough to see the tolks and recruit. One ofthecompa- ; nies was raised on Uose Prairie. Here lives Squire CliiVord he is an old settler, he bus ' been a Justice of the Peace for many years, for ho can read ; he has a large farm, w ell ; managed ; he is rich, and his only sou Andy . is an oilicer in the Hist. The old man si t on the porch smoking his home made tobacco, w ailing for a wagon. ! Andy married a few month U-fore he went into the army. And his w ife also sat on the porch, while'her baby, nearly two years old j ran from her to her grandfather. Susan's . father keep a store in the village of Prairie j Hose; he is postmaster, and one of the head men. She can read and write- Ileing j brought up quite a lady, she never works out doors except to pick cotton and to bind after the cradles, ami she holds up her head, 1 as she niiiiht, for she is real handsome, ami if any woman ever loved lu r husband, it is she. "I don't know how Andy would like that kind of talk," said she, "for he writes iu his letters altogether dim rent." "Don't you be troubled gal," said 'Squire Clifford ; "he writes so just to please the olK cers, for they open all the letters." 'I hope they don't o-n any of mine, though there's 'notliing bail in them." "You just wait and see how I'll talk to him, I'll bring him around sure." The 'Squire was a peace democrat. To tell the truth be belonged to the Knights of the Golden Circle, a lodge of which was organized by the lawyers at the county sent; and, being nn inlluential man, he nnil a few others had made Hose Prairie a hard place for I'nion men. It astonishes one to see how plain men, honest in their dealings, and good neighbors, but ignoruut, can be moulded by the intolerant and tie signing. When slavery made the people ir.t'oratit. a foundation was laid for tvciy specious of intolerance even of infamy and crime. All at once the wagon came through the vattl with the horse tlotting, which they liad seldom done before, and it was lilled with soldiers, who were the Koe Prutriu boys, ami Andy among thetu. Almost III a moment Andy had jumped over the bars, and was near tlm porch, when Susau gave a spring around his neck, and would have thrown him over if he had not been tall and strong, and if he had not braced himself; uud tin re ahe hung lilted up from the ground. "Now I want to see my boy," M Ansly, as he gently heid him up, aud, for the tli.t time, gazed upon linn Willi eve a clear and u lull of ittisfaelio in they Were on tho bleed Fourth of July l.ut, when, with hi companion he atood ou the rumparU at Yick.l'iirg.

After the Hrst few words Susan said little, for she be gan to hurry the supper; but one could see by the glimmer of her eyes, under their lushes, tiiat she had pleasant thoughts. Then they had a good supper. It should have been good, for they had been prepa ring victuals for several days. Kverything on the table and around the house looked as though there had been a wedding. As soon as the supper was over tho old man commenced. He spoke of tho wicked ness of war, of high tuxes, of the overthrow of the Constitution, and tho ruin of the country, and concluded by saying that wo ought to let the South go. Susan and the women tried to get him to talk of something else, while Andy interrupted and tried to explain, but he would listen to nothing, and he talked till he had nothing more to say. He made out a terrible case. Then Andy said ; "I see how this business is dad. Some of them lawyers up to the county sent have been laming you these things. And now let mu tell you, though they sound mighty lug, there s scarcely a word ol truth in them, from one end to tile other." "What's this, what's this?" said the old "Squire. "Do you mean to call your father a liar ? Say sir am I a liar? Andy's bunch of beard began to work in a curious wtiy, and he waited a little before he spoke. "Who talks about liars, but yourself; I'll tell you w hat the army would say of you, if you talked like that among them. They'd say you was a d d traitor; and if you didn't happen to have a first best friend by yon, they would string you up. And I'll tell you, too, we think a heap more of an out-and-out rebel than we do of the traitors at home, w ho when we strike the rebels a lick, help to strike us back." "You git out of my house. If you arc my own son, you shunt, insult me in it. 1 have done w ith you you shan't have none of my property not ti baitc out of my house I'll have nothing to do with you !" "That suits me if it does you. Susan pick up what things you want now, and leave the rest for another time. "We'll go to Hob Reynold's. He's a good I'nion man. Your dad's u Copper, 1 know. You'll hear a different story one of these days, dad, mind I tell you." "You may go to the devil, for all I kere." Andy buckled on his sword and stood waiting fur Susan. She wasrunning around taking care of her things; her sisters in-law were helping her; while Mrs. CliiVord tried to sooth her husband. He would listen to nothing; his son bad turned out to be a Yankee nigger, and may be he wanted a nigger wench ; he wouldn't speak to him, ami never wanted to see him again. The house, lately so joyful, had become a ti house of mourning. All the women folks cried, and the baby seeing something was wrong, cried louder than anybody else. At last Susan was ready, ami, crying, she left the house with Andy; and they went away through the lur.e. In addition to this troithlo Susan hail another, which was on account of a piece she hud just got iu tho loom, and she had thrown the shuttle only a few times to see how it would look. Her father in-law had planted a patch of cotton for Iter and plowed it, and she had hoed, picked, got it ginned, and spent almost all w inter in spinning and coloring. She was going to have a piece for herself and baby. Now she did not know what would become of it. Perhaps the old man would cut it out j of the loom. j They hail gone quite a distance, when Mrs. Clifford tame into the porch aud called 1 her. j "Susan you forgot vour pocket haudker- I child'." She went back, while Andy waited. She was gone a long time. Once she came out, j lingering, and then very hastily went back, i At last she came running, and, looking phased, said his father wanted to speak with him. He turned rather reluctantly, and found his father filling his pipe by the fireplace. "I want to ask you one question, Andy. ' Answer me now, fair. Savin' nothin' about ) them Northern chaps, ain't it a shame to us ; as comes lrom the roulli to he ngiiitu ana killiu' our own kink of folks uud some on 'cm our own kin ?" "I don't want no dispute with you, dad, but I can answer that mighty sudden. It is a shame but the shame is theirs, not ours. It is they that's lightin' us. Wedidu't strike the first" lick, we didn't want no war, but they did, and they've tried to break up the Government. When they want peace, and to have tilings us they had 'em before, ex cepting oue little tiling as has gone up, all they've got to do is to say it. but if they've got an idea tlu y can make two Governmental out of one, that belongs to both of us, they've got a bigger job on hand than they-ve got an idea for iu fact, the thing can't be did. I'll tell you what Johu Logan's men, and the rest of the sojers say ; we say we'll sweep in) from the Lire ol the carlo, Lcloru we give up to cm. And we can ilo It. "Iliats lrcaill.il Iiaril tatK, .miy, out there seems lobe something in what you say uboitt the tirst lick. 1 hadn't thought of that. 1 say, Andy, you ain't goin' to ile sert vour old' father" k'ae he got riled and spoke kinder sharp. Let's urgerfy this bu iuus. I've tot the handsomest clover lot you ever sied, and the piimest wheat you ever set eves on. 1 want you to lookal Yin.

It would be hard to undertake to tell how much encour aged Andy lelt. . Soon after this, it was talked about among tho Copperheads that the furloughed sol diers had been converting the people of Hose Prairie to Unionism, and a couple of the lawyers came dowu from tho country sent to see about it. Mr. Clifford being tho most influential man, they called on him first. After going through a considerably long, smooth auit slippery introduction, they told him. their business. He confessed he had changed his mind, and he thought men of learning ought to know better than to be deceiving plain farmers who couldn't bo expected to know nil about politics. And how could they know, when they never had such schooling and this waslieciuiso the blasted stld slave holders where they camo from didn't want no schools. One of them, who is figuring to go to the Legislature, let out in quite a speech filled with genuine copper deinocra cyi telling about Lincoln's tyranny, tho overthrow of the. Constitution, high taxes, the ruin of the country, ami concluded by saying we ought to let the south go. "I'll tell you," said the old man, "what they'd say of you down in the army, it you talk that way lo Yin. They'd say you was a damned traitor ; audit' you hud no fust friend witli you, they'd string you up; and if I was with Yin, I wouldn't kere much to help Yin. Them's my sentiments, fair and square." "This is very strange, 'Squire Clifford; very strange, indeed. Why, sir, you belong to our order of the Knights of the Golden Circle, aud you cannot have forgotten the solemn oath you have taken, nor thu dread ful penalty which attaches to the violation of that oath." This madu the 'Squire mad. "Git out of my house, you infernal scoun drel you traitor to your God and your country. Yon lied to me to get mu into it. Git out of my house I And if any of you Golden Circular touch a hair of me or mine. I'll send lor Andy and the rest of the boys, and, by the Jehoka, they won't leave a grease, spot of you hole gang. Hit out of my house; I'll have nothin' to do with a traitar to mv country uud the old flag of the stars uud stripes." The lawyer went they both went. When he was getting on his horse, he said : "Good-bye, Mr. Clifford. You've got to be a Y'unkee nigger, I see. It must be you want a nigger w ench." "Yes, I do, I do, want a thousand of 'cm. I ain't afeared of niggers us much us 1 was. I'm ashamed, thougii, 1 ever was a traitor, like you are. Yes, 1 was a traitor, and I helped to tight agin' Andy and Susan und her Tiaby there. 1 1 nt , thuuk God, iu his mercy, I'm a traitor no longer." It would have done you good, had you seen how pleased the women were to hear the 'Squire give the lawyers his mind. N. C. M. Donooi.a, Union county, 111. MISCELLANEOUS. IiirMou llrowiilow Parson Hrowulow is an original genius. He once was a w hig but became as anxious about the grow th ot abolition sjuiiments in the whig party, as any Copperhead now is about iitHciyt Hittioii. lint the Parson is u Union man and is plain spoken in his poli tics. Hear him at the recent meeting iu aid of soldiers in New York : Parson Hrowulow w ho was the last speak er, said that lie was just recovering from illness, and had no desire to deliver an ad dress. On my return to Knoxville some six months ago, 1 found the jail iu which the rebels were kind eiu.iigh to lodge mo for three months lilled to overflowing with another class of beings. Among them 1 found u portion of the leading, active, villainous rebels, who were concerned iu my incarceration, guarded by Union soldiers." They were to be sent across the mountains to Camp Chase, and curiosity induced me to ice how they would look go ing through the operation I had gone through. 1 looked on wilh a sort of malig nant pleasure, my mind occupied w ith only one rcuYctiou.

A 1 marched to the prison the guard would say, "Slip a little quicker you d-d old Limoluite, or 1 will put this bayonet into you."

Sherman has the finest nrmv in all the world not less than 150,000, all told. He is gradually advancing into the heart of the Southern Stares. lie will take that country. Grant w ill take lUclinuuid. And will crowd the rebels, and crowd them until I trust in God we will rush them into the Gulf of Mexico und drown tho entire race as the devil did tlio hogs in the Sea of Galileo. When we come out of the war we will come out with 500,000 or 000,000 of the best of soldiers, w ho have got their hand in and would as soon have their hand iu a little longer as not. Then I am in favor of giving Old Kngland a turn. Cheers. We can whip the Southern Confederacy ; we can take in France and Kngland the whole civilized world, and I want to curry it on until we whip nil God's creution. Tlio meeting then adjourned. "Ax E.Mii.isu Opinion ok Gkx. Okant." Tlio London Daily Telegraph, edited by Thornton Hunt, a man who during the pre sent rebellion has omitted no opportunity to manifest his hostility to the Federal Gov ernment, speaks us follows of General Grant, whom the w riter a year ago considered as inferior in military capacity : No vulgar man, no mere idol of the hour, is this Ulysses Grant, w ho by shcr hard work and honest fighting has raised himself from a position of obscurity to one of al most unlimited command who has, if some reports concerning him be true, achieved that rarest of all victories, a mastery over himself and his desires and who, (a virtue not often possessed by the military celebri ties of the United States) is still modest and unassuming. Nor litis he yet in any way compromised the reputation which he worth ily earned, alike by honorable service in the field nnil by exemplary civic conduct. A man of merely ordinary calibre would scarce ly have dared to accept tho glorious but terrible responsibility which Grant has qui etly taken upon himself, as became a good soldier who was bound to . fear no peril, cither material or moral, in his country 'g cause. Ho was prudent as well as bold; the mere splendor of the office did not seduce him ; and only on his own terms, which were wise and well considered, would he consent to assume supreme command. He would submit t. no dictation from the ama-t-ur Aulic councillors of Washington ; hold ing himself responsible for the issue of the campaign, he would not allow it to be pre judiced by any undue publicity being given to his plans ; he kept his own counsel, al lowed the gossips to talk ns they liked, unit ut length, strong iu tho confidence of his troops, and with the whole enthusiasm of t lie North to back him, he set forth upon the great march from winch he hail deter mined never to return except in triumph. Nor cun it be denied that already he has done much. Pushing doggedly onward with the fierce restitutio;! of a man who is intensely in earncsi, he has fought his w ay inch by inch into the very heart of Virginia ; and a victory, so close is now his army to Richmond, would probably place that capi tal in his bunds. It is impossible trt read his operations without seeing that they are those of u lca'ler w ho possesses daring and capacity not altogether incommensurate to the mighty task that lies be I ore liuu. "Un to liichiuoiid 1'' which lias so often been simply the vainglorious cry of Northern braggarts, is with this stern and valiant cap tain aoinethiag more; it mear.s honiethiiig not to be merely talked about, but to be (ar; and if the whole strength of the North, cntru-ted to strong und. capable hands, can do it, that-purpose will be achieved.

The 6 tnl'fie American, which is careful in expres sing its opinion upon all but scientific sub jects, contains tho following hiuts ou feed, ing ouis to horses : "A horse fed ou whole oats and uncut hay, expends a large proportion of his mo tive power in the process of mastication. After a hard day's work he has before him the task of reducing to pulp 13 or 20 pounds of hard food, and tlio operation is carried on iu the hours which ought to be devoted to purpose. Not unfrequently is the animal so liitd that he is unable to properly chew his food ; he, therefore, bolls the oats, a largo portion of which passes unchanged through the body. Those who desire to render fully effective tho motive power of the horse, must pay attention to the me chanical state us well us the quality und quantity of his fotuL The force expended l y the horse in comminuting his food w hen it is composed of huy, straw and oats may bo set dowu us least equul to tho power he expends in ono hour und a half of work, such, for example, as plowing. Tho preparation of his food, by means of steuni or water power, or even by animal motive power, would economize, by at leat ono hull', the labor expended iu its mastication: this would be equivalent to half a day's nura. in every weeK a clean gain to tlio animal's owner It has beeu objected to the use of bruised oats, that they produce u laxative effect upon the nuitnals, but this disadvantage may be obviated by tho ad dition of cut straw to his food." Soap Suds. The value of this article as a stimulant of vegetable life, cannot be too highly nppereiatcd. It contains the nli ment of plants in a. state ot ready solution, and when applied, acts not only w ith im mediate and obvious effect, but with a sus tained energy which pertains to few even of the most concentrated manures. 'When it is not convenir.t to apply it in irrigation the most economical method, perhaps, of using it it should be absorbed by some ma terial which may be used as au ingredient in the compost heap. Sods, muck and other similar articles should lie deposited when the suds from the sink und laundry may find its way to them, and be ubsorbed, for tho beneft of crops. In this way several loads of manure, suitable for the support and stisteunnce of any crop, may be inndu at comparatively small expense. The highly putrescent character of this fermentable libuid quality it admirably for the irrigation of compost heaps of whatever material com posed. Being u potent fertilizer, it must, of necessity, impart additional riches to al most any material to which it may added. Try it, ond mark the results. u. Tim PutvATB Soldieh. Gov.
