Perhaps hope kept us alive. We
knew as much of Sherman as the reb

days of the confederacy were drawing
near to a close an ignominious close,
disgraceful to all who were in it.

when the sick were taken on the cars
and the rest sent back. This looked
like exchnnge, but we had been de
ceived so many times, our faith was
weak, nnd -we thought we were only
to betaken out of Sherman's reach, to
another f rison. In a day or two the
Bick who had been taken away were
Bent back in. They said they had
started for Savannah, but found the
railroad had been cut by our men.
This was good news, for we thought
now- we would be released by ex
change, or else by recapture. At last
pa the 7tli of cc., the sick of five
"thousands" were taken out and 6ent

horses loose without riders, and at the
soun 1 of the bugle they would form
themselves into line nnd go through
their parade. A', the battle of Corinth
I watched the artillery horses. They
came in on a swift rim, drawing a thirty-two
pounder ; and on the instant
the signal was given, they heeled, the
piece was unlimhc red in a moniwt, and
then at aHot her signal, they were away
again on a run. The gun was in good
position and did good execution. lint
the rebels flanked us, and wo were com
pelled to leave the gun and fall back
lighty rods. There wo reformed in
good order, and with fixed bayon-ts
charged back upon the rebels. ' They
were in disorder and fled. We took
the gun again; but knowing that we
could not long hold the ground, our
object was to bring off the gun. So
we opened right and left and the bugle
sounded for the horses. They came
dashing up again on tho run till they
reached the gun ; they wheeled, waited
a moment to bo hitched, and then
whirled it away in no lime and saved
it. I stood there, though the bullets
were whizzing around me, nnd looked
in perfect admiration at those horses.
Had they no riders to guide them?
Ye3, but they obeyed the bugle.
Their riders could not control them.

determined, therefore, to postpone the
final vote fir some days, probablv un
til Saturday or Monday. Should Mr.
Howard recover, the Managers are
yet confident the 1 'resident's removal
will be eifeeted.
There is no abatement in the ex
citement throughout the city this
morning. IJetii ng is going on freely
and both sides are coufilcnt as to the
result. The K.'publieaiis are still ve
ry hopeful and by no means concede
that impeachment will fiiil to day. A
count this morning shows that ii' there
be no break in the Republican ranks
Johnson's convict ion is sure bv one
majority. The whole ease last night
seemed to rest ujion the vote of one
man, Mr. Willey, of West Virginia.
He has, however, expressed intention
to vote for conviction on three or four
article., and this insures one more
than is necessary for a two-third
vote, including the vote of Senator
Wade.
The feeling against Senators Fesserf
den and Trumbull for. their treachetv
is very strong here. The Maine del
egation in Congress he'd a meeting
last nitrht and decided to wait upon
Fessenden this morning and demand
that he vote in accordance with the ex
pressed wishes of his State or resign
ids position. The Illinois members
of Congress went in a body this morn
ing to see Senator Trnmbio nnd make
the same demands upon him. What
response he gave has not transpired at
the time of bonding this dispatch.
Trumbull was hooted nt drr the streets
last evening while returning from the
Senate chamber.
With the adjournment of the Senate
until Saturday the impeaelimerrt-stook
went up rapidly. It is fcelieved :that
the public sentiment will become so
strong by that time as. to insure the
success of impeachment. An inti
mate friend of President John
son asserts privately,; that no matter
what inlhiences aro brought to bear
upon Senators Trumbull, Fessenden,
Grimes and Henderson, they are com
mitted in Vriting to support the Pres
ident against conviction. It is: stated
that these four gentlemen had a pri
vate interview with the President.

Court reassembled at 11:30 A. M.
As soon as the journal was read, Mr.
Chandler rose and said the condition
of his colleague Mr. Howard, was such
as to prevent his being present, and
he thereliiie moved that when the
Court adjourn it will be until Saturday
next.
On motion of Mr. Drake the
Senate then adjourned until Satur
day. The Missouri delegation waited up
on Mr. lleiidsrson to demand that he
vote for conviction on some ot thu ar
ticles or resign his position.
The Southern Union men, of whom
there are a large number in the city
have been the ino-t east down of nnv
class here. They have taken measures
tu-dav to organize for the purpose of
plating the situation of tho Union
men in the South as they deemed it
would be, should the 1'resident be ac
quitted, before the Senators. These
men all agree that there would be no
safety whatever in Southern delegates
to Chicago or members elect to Con-gre-s
returning to their homes. All
the letters received from the South
from Union men since the trial began
have exhibited great anxiety lest the
Senate should tail to convict.
The speech of Mr. .Morton in the
c , i , i . i t til
elleet. J us earnestness fixed the at
tention of all Senators upon him.
One of tho strongest points he made
was to read the resolution by which
the Senate reinstated Stanton, and
then call over slowly the names of
those who voted for it. From this he
reasoned that whoso names bo had
read had committed themselves to
sustain the tenure of office law, nnd

Senate, a lire-eating Southenief, in
debate, grossly n-'ailed a Free State
Senator. A3 no allusion was maoe to
tii i r l or Ins btate, Wade sat still, but
when the Senate adjourned, ho said
openly if ever a southern .Senator made
such nn attaot on him or Ohio,
while he sat on that fioor, he would
brand him as a liar. This coining to
tho em's of tho southern men, a Sena
tor took occasion to pointedly speak,
a few days afterward, of Ohio and her
people ns negro thieves. Instantly
Mr. Wade sprang to his feet nnd pro
nounced the Senator a liar. The
southern Senators were astounded and
gathered around their champion, while j
t,i i
the Northern men grouped
Wade. A fvler was put out from the
sotUhern side looking to retraction,
but Mr. M'ado retorted in his peculiar
stvle, and demanded an nnologv for
the insult offered him and the people
he represented. Tho matter thus closed'
and alight was looked upon as certain.

edgment of the code:
"I am here," he responded, "in a
double capacity. I represent the
State of Ohio, and I - Represent Ben.
Wade. As a Senator, I'm opposed to
dueling. As Ben. Wade I recognize
the code."
"My friend feelsagrieved," said the
gentleman, "at what you said in the
Senate vesrerd-nv nn.l u-H! n,V ;.r nr.

"I r was somewhat embarrassed,"
continued Senator Wade, "bv my po- I
sition yosterdv, as I have some respect I
for tire Chamber. I now take this op-
portunitv to sav what I then thought ;
and you' will i'fvou idea-e repeit it. i
Your friend is a foul-mouthed old
blackguard."
"Certainly' Senator Wade, you do
not wish me to convey such a message
as that ?"
"Most certainly I do ; and will tell
you, for your own benefit, this friend
of yours will never notico it. I will
not be asked for either retraction, explanation,-
or a fight."
Next day Mr. Wade came into the
Senate, and, proceeding to his seat, de
liberately drew from under his coat
two hrg pistols, and unlocking his
desk-, laid them inside. The Southern
men looked on in silence, while the
Norlhern members enjoyed the fire-eaters'
surprise at tdie proceeding of the
pliieRy Ohio fSenafor. No futher no

The red-striped pole of the burlier
is said to havo originated from the!
fact that, some cenUiriew ago it waft
customary for barbers to bleed people;
and the pole, with alternate, winding
stripes of white and red represented
the bandaged arm of the phlebotomized
victim. In course, of tiino the apoth

letter; but the old sign of the Craft
was retained by the latter, after the

A "terrible outrage" lias justt
been badly spoiled. The democratic;
inpers in tho Northern States have for
sometime pa.st been circulating astory,
to the effect that one of Gen. Mowers
soldiers, a negro, recently outraged the.
General's daughter, a young lady of,
some sixteen years, while on duty at.
Ship Island, Louisiana. 1 hey further
stated that as Oenerai Jtowcr was a.
radical, ho had the negro quietly ar-
r!o(1 nn, executed; without making'

Journal spoils tins story by.'stating'

A Sprightly writer expresses his,
opinion of old maids in tfm following,
manner: "I am inclined to think that,
many of the satirical aspersions cast,
upon old maids tell more to their cred-,
it than is generally imagined. .Is
woman remarkably neat in her person?
She will certainly bean old maid.' Is''
she particularly reserved toward tht
other sex? - She has all the squeamish-;
ness of ah old maid. Is she , frugal in.
her expenses, nnd exact in her domestic1
concerns? She is' cut out for an old
maid. And if she be bumans to the5
animals about her, nothing can savke
from the apellatidn of an old maid,, la,
short, I have always found that neat-,
ncss; modesty; economy, arid humanit!
are the never-failing cliaraeteristicrf of
that (terrible creature "old ttalcL? 11 -.
