On sud den emergencies the soldiers would be ordered into line, leaving 'heir baggage in camp, to which they might not re turn lor days, and when they did re turn they frciUently found that the enemy had been there in the meantime, and carried oh' or destroyed everything of value. This was especially true of a brio-adc of Indiana six mout'-s' i.rmi. known as tho "iVisii.imoii 1 ji-indc,'' because, not relishing corn id tiie ear, thi;y chose to Mtlisist o-i K-iiit'un. So much were the men kepi oi the alert that thoii'h Maior Hulln.il. a lWi.ri;4. tei'7 was present, the conii.i.iiidie offi cers could not allow hi'.i to p.iy oil' some of the regiments fiir more a IllOllih. Such was the siato oT solid. s when General Grant having been appointed to the supreme command of the army, paid -a H v 1 1 tX vi-l I to thelorccs occupy ing tiie country to the northwest of the Clinch river, on his way 10 Wn-diing-ton, in the whiter of lSfil. A lew. (lays bcibro, the main body of the enemy had reiired tou a rd South western Virginia, and Gen. Wilcox, who eom manded the district of the Church, had fixed his headquarters at one of the County towns in the northern part of Tennessee. Grant arrived, unannounc ed and unexpected, at the place, on a bitter cold day, nnd forbade the firing of a sahite or making any other dem onstration. Even the sentinel in front of Gen. Wilcox's quarters who was one of the "Persimmon Brigade," was not aware of his presence. After spending some time with Gen. Wilcox, Gen. Grant went out and mounted his horse. The sentinel, who was an iip couth specimen of the lloosier, wits trying to keep himself warm by walk ing to and fro, alternately striking the butt of his nuibket on the pavement, and testing the solidity of the frozen earth by trying to thrust his bayonet into it. Gen. Grant appeared to be amused at the performance, and addressing the soldier, said, "Well, my man, to what command do you belong?" Picking up an old shoe on the point of his boyonet, and twirling it in the air, the man replied, "I lielong to the wun hundred and th Injiiumv ; Col. , the d d old rip." "You don't seem to like Col. ," said Gen. Grant. "Now, look here, Mister," replied the soldier, "I don't wish you any harm, but I wish you had to take mv place nnder him for a month or two.1' "Why, what is the matter with him ?" inquired the general. "Matter! why dod rot his old soul ! he's starviu us to death !'' "Starving you ?" "Yes sir, stan -in us ! I don't cxjiect you'll bleove me, for it's a tough story to tell a white nian : but it's a gmpill truth, I haint had a thing to eat now for niorc'n eight days, except a few 'simmons!" ..' "Well," sal J Grant, "that is a pretty tough story." . 'Yes, it i .but I'll take my . solid oath on a stack of Bibles as high as a moctin, house that it's every word the gosBiK truth J Mister can you give me a chaw of tobackcr . "I have no tobacco' about me," said the General, "but I can get you some;" J AH. E. 8A YERS, VOL XL and turning to one of his escort he got a plug of tobacco ninl handed it over to"Injianny." He took out his knife if to cut it, and looking tip said, "Please, mister, may I take two chaws? I haint had a taste of tolmeker for niore'n four weeks ! lod rot the sutlers !" "' yt"i" stiid ( 5runt, "you may keep the whole plug if you choose. V c have plenty." "Now mister, I thank you very much. I'll give you ten pounds of tohaekcr some time.

Mister, I spose you'll think I'm an ungodly liar ; Lut I haint had no blanket nor no overcoat now for niore'n six weeks! and Iwtly! aint it cold of nights? I wMiyou had totry it as we do! So! that's a lie! I don't wish it neith er!" "How came you to be without an overcoat and blanket?" the General inquired. "Why, sir," said the Hooker, "Col. the d d old rip took us out of camp over here at the Clinch Gap, ami while we were gone, the Johnnies doil rot their theivin,' rebel hearts ! I wish 1 had about six of 'em here note.' they made a mid on our camp, and stole all ourovereonts and blankets ! Dod darn 'em!'' "Well,'' said Grant, "you do seem to have a hard time of it." "I rawthcr guess we do" said the soldier; "ami that ain't all! I haint never hail no pay neither! Darn me, ef I've had a dollar now for niore'n four months !" "What is the reason of that ?" quer ied the General. "Don't the Paymas ter ever come around here?" "Yes," said the soldier, "the Pay master came around here two mouths ago; and In? was lonsv with gveen baeks." "Well, then," said Grant, "why didn't yon get your pay?" "Why jist this reason, Mis'.cr. After we'd signed the pay rolls, ami the Paymaster had the rem1 John Jhivix counted out in piles for us, Col. , the d d old rip, marched us oil' over the Clinch ( Sap ; and 1 haint seen no Paymaster since. And, I'll tell you, .Mister, when this tobaeker's gone, I'll be dod rotted to thunder ef me anil the boys don't make a raid on one of the sutlers, ef we're hung for it in five minutes!

"lleMo, .Mister!" said the soldier, opening ihe bill a. id looking at it, " Vou've made a devil of a mistake! Tiiis is a V! I w on't lake that much !" "All right," said Grant, turning his horse and siarJiig; oil' ; "lend some of it to.Jiin and the oilier boys I have nothing smaller just now." The soldier set his musket against the fence, an l running; ali T the Gen eral, caught his horse by the bridle and stopped him ; and, while the tears were streaming down his bronzed cheeks, said, "Look here, Mister, you've got a soul! you're a Christian ! I am myself when I'm at home ami ef you don't go to heaven, there's no use in haviu' sich a place ! Mister do you live in Injianny? I want to pay you w hen I get home." "No matter," said Grant, "where I live. You'll find me some time." And the General disengaging the soldier's hand front his bridle rein, put spurs to his horse and rode off. "By the lordy!" said tho man. "Isn't he a buster? And won't our boys have tobacker and a good time? The sutlers dod rot 'em ! may go to the devil, and dick their tohaekcr!" And he walked back to his beat, igno rant of tho name and rank of the man of whom he had borrowed the money. It is but just to remark, says the gentleman who tells the story, that though suffering for food, clothing end necessaries, there were no better sol dier's in any army than the "Persim mon Brigade." The oilieei-s were as destitute and helpless ns the men ; and were powerless to assist them. Col. l i:. .!.!..-. of many soldier's were directed, was a brave mid deserving officer, and was really in no wise responsible for the fact that the soldier's had no overcoats, blankets, food, pay and tobacco.

FIRMNESS IN THE RIGHT vixwmm, pa., ws vintiixiA. Address of Got. Pclrpelut. RiciiMosn, Va., July 9. The fol lowing arc the main points in the ad drtsis of Gov. Feirpoint to the people of Virginia. The Governor says: "I united in the call for tho Con vention which is to assemble in Rich mond on the first of August next. The object of that Convention is to agree upon a basis of action which shall he acceptable to all the people of Virginia, without distinction of color or race, who '.ore the Government of i I it , mi me u nitett states, mm are willing to rat lv tinder the protecting folds of the old fla-? to ndont a Constitution for the State that shall guarantee cnunl ritdits and equal privileges, legal and politi cal, to all her people, rich nnd poor, white nnd colored, who will ndopt the spirit of our free institutions, make labor honorable, nnd rccogniz0 educa tion ns a right to every child that comes into the world, who can be made to receive it ; and to lay, ngnin, deep in the foundations of the old Common wealth, the eternal principles of free dom and enlightened progress ns taught by our fathers. Painful experience has taught me that there are men in the State who hate the Government of the United States ; who regard loyalty to it a reproach, and who would place the heal of proscription on the neck of every Union man, nnd politically and socially ostracise him if they could. M any of these men, or nil of them, claim to be Imnl to the Government ; but how can they be loyal when they seek to prescribe every man who pro fessed loyalty during the struggle through which we have just passed ? 1 have been assure 1 that the masses of j the w hite people of the State do not share in their sentiments. From my j personal intercourse I ntn satisfied that there are many leading men w ho were ardently engaged in the late Rebellion who do not share the feelings to which I refer ; few if any of the colored peo ple d . It is an effort on the part of certain political lenders to inllaoi ' sup posed prejudices of the people, that they may retain political control of the State, and continue a policy of ngita tioii nnd hatred ; that th j spirit of en terprise nnd progress may be banished from tho Stale forever ; for when pro gress nnd education come, the occupa tion of tin so leaders w ill he gone.

I say it to the credit of the colored men, that I have never met one who hr.s expressed any oilier desire i!ii:n fr honest and capable men in of iiiv, be they white or black. They want justice, lilierty and peace, that they may enjoy the fruits of their labor, lay a foundation for their ftUu.c for tunes, get homes of their own, that they may educate and rear their chil dren to honest industry, and qualify them for future usefulness. Seeing tho effort to array one race against the oth er in the State, and fully appreciating the fatal result of such a state of things to the prosperity and welfare of the Commonwealth, and believing that there was danger that a majority of the white people were nliout to place them selves in a false position to their coun try, I should have been false to my self and to my Slate had I not joined intbc call to enable the people to vindi cate themselves, and establish their aovernmcnt on a firm foundation of prosperity and comity with our sister States. The second portion of Gov. Peir point's address is entitled "The Lost Cause," and and after some explana tion as to the dcrifltion of that phrase he defines it as follows : "I think it was a bad cause that ought to have been lost, and so will future history pronounce it. The mo tive which urged its promoters was not that laboring men or the middle class might have greater privileges; with the exception of a single State manhood suffrage was enjoyed by all the white men who were of lawful age and not convicted of crime.

I en tirely dissent from tho views contained iii paragraph 4. Your views as to the duties of registers to register every man who will tike the required oath, though thev mav know the amdicant neriures himself, 'is sustained by the views of the Attorney General. My opinion is, that it is the duty of the registration to see, as for as it lays in their power, that no nnnnlhorufid nerson it allowed to register. To (mux this end, registers shonlJl be allowed to administer oaths and ' examine witoee The law, "lerma . t JOB W B K.

The constabulary, having concluded their legitimate la bors, have recently been employed as follows, if we may believe the Standard, published at Augusta. It remarks: tv e give the following as the result of the past week's labor : A cow arrested for having two "horns." vuivtvu luuititmun itiivij uvvvtw- ed, fined for being "on his bier." A pair ot boots seized ior being "tight." A little boy's kite sentenced to have its tail cut off for having been on a "high time." A clotlunir denier "hauled tip for advertising "Great Bar-gains." A confectioner tried for selling "Gin ger Snaps." A horse ran away und smashed a wagon. 1 lie horse was promptly ar rested, but it being proved that the "smash" contained nothing intoxica ting, he was acquitted. Several "cocktails found in the hencoop of a prominent citizen, were confiscated. The success of the police in this seizure caused much "crowing," and it will doubtless "spur" them on to increased activity. An unfortunate Hibernian wns lock ed up for having a "punch" in the lii'in I. A worthy shoemaker, seized on sus picion of being a "cobblw " but prov ing there was no "sherry" connected with him, was released on condition I hat this should be his "last offence." lie wns informed that nny future dereliction would involve the confisca tion of his "all." The excitement "waxed" intense.

Such a father not far from Cincinnati is in the habit-of gelling intoxica ted, or on a "tare," rather often. He endeavors, however, to hide the fact from his children; but "little pitchers have long ears," and children know more of what is going on than grown pe ple frequently suppose. One evening this exemplary parent was hearing his iittlc Johnny recite his Sunday school lesson. It was from tho fourteenth diopter' of Matthew, wherein is related the pnrable of the malicious individual who went about sowing tares, etc. "What is a tare?" the parent inter rupted to inquire. Johnny hesitated. "Tell me, my sen, what a' tare is?" "You have had 'cn," said Johnny, casting dow n his eyes and wriggling his foot. "I bid 'em !" said the astonished pa rent, opening his eyes rather wide. "Why what do you mean, Johnny?" "When you uidn't come home fiir three days last week," said Johnny, "I hoard mother tell Aunt Susan that you was off r n a tare." The Sunday school lesson was brought to an abrupt close, and Johnny, who knew too much altogether to sit up any later, was sent off to bed. Spring Fever. Corry O'Lnnus, ' I of the Brooklyn Eagle, has experienced an attack ot the spring lever. He de scribes its symptoms as follow : Did you ever catch the spring lever : It has caiiht me slightly, and I think of reporting myself to the Board of Health as a case of quarantine. If they would send me somewhere for a week or two, where I would have nothing to do amino1 board to pay, I think 1 should feel letter,. The symptoms of the spring fever arc a vigorous inclination to uo noth ing. You feel as though you could stand any amount of repose. I he spring tevcr is a bou complaint when you haven't time to attend to it. A southern correspondent in one of his letters informs us of a novel and economical mode of courtship in Florida. "As you have never seen tho language of pine I will give It here. A gentleman not wishing to face the music in person, sends his lady love a piece of pine, signifying, 'I pine for thee; and she, wishing to give a favor able answer, sends in return a pine knot, meaning, 'pine not;' or if she wishes to say no, she sends a burnt pine knot, thereby signifying, I 'make light of your pine.'"
