DEAU GLOBE :—When I last wrote I
told you would leave Transfer Bar
racks in a day or , two. I had reason
to think so at that time as there had
been an order to that effect issued two
daye previons.to my writing. We are
still here, and, for aught I know, may
remain for some time. These barracks
Are now nearly finished and most of
the workmen employed on them have
bean ilischarged. They are designed
for a kind of Soldiers' Home—a place
where soldiers passing through to re
join their regiments, or, better still,
on the way to be mustered out and
join tlid loved at'bomo, are fed and res
ted. Nearly fifteen hundred of these
transient.soldiers aro in camp now.—
The substantial and tasteful manner
in which those barracks are fitted up
make it apparent that the government
does not intend them to .be vacated
when this "cruel war" is over, but
that they shall he a pleasant home for
a band of tried and faithful soldiers,
who, knowing well the price of liberty,
will watch with sleepless vigilance the
smallest movements of a people, a
great part of whom have proven them
selves unworthy to be the guardians of
American liberty. A picket fence
- seven feet high surrounds the entire
ea' mp extending within a few rods of
Fort Negley. A walk or "beat" three
feet wide and near the top of the fence
on the inside also extends . around the
camp. At the angles of the fence and
with their bases. resting on the "beat"
are sentry towers, nine feet high, of
the octagon form, the roof conical, and
surmounted by a ball—the whole
-tastefully. painted. The gateways are
beautifully arched, the grounds about
the camp neatly graded, and a large
central - plat laid out, around which it
is intended to plant shade trees. A
plentiful supply of water is furnished
every room. A room has also been
fitted up for the use of the Christian
Commission in which are long tables
for reading and writing purposes. The
Commission have placed a fine library
in the room for circulation among the
Soldiers, and religions and secular pa
pets, tracts, &0., are freely given. Pa
per and envelopes aro furnished those
wishing to write to their friends. In
deed, scarcely anything is wanted in
order to make- this a delightful Sol
diers' Home. All true Americans will
rejoice to see our Government fit up
with so much care and taste these per.

WILLIAM LEWIS, Editor and Proprietor
VOL. X_X.
those who have seen the Johnnies in
large numbers can form an accurate
idea of the accumulated filthiness and
the utterly wretched condition of these
unfortunate men. There is, though, a
etrange
,similarity of appearance and
expression among_ them, so that the
remark is a common one, "when you
have seen one rebel.you have seen all,
for all look alike." For the benefit
especially of our young friends and
the children who have not seen the
rebels and whom I have often heard
wondering "how a rebel looked," I
Would .say a pretty good picture of a
rebel, that is a paroled rebel, might
run in this wise : he is a man with
long, greasy, uncombed hair, a brown
or gray slouch hat, the rim drooping
at, all points, a profusion 9f whiskers
and moustache, partly hiding a coun
tenance in which hate and despair are,
traced and love is wanting ;'his body
clad, if clad you may call it, in a tat
tered gray or tan-colored coat, his
trousers of the same material, unless
indeed he has secured the clothes of
some murdered Union soldier, or for,
ced an exchange with some one of our
famished braves while confined in ono
of their Andersonvilles or Libbys.—
Multiply this picture by thousands,
and though it may not be a very good
one, you may fancy you see before you
the amiable beings, who, under 'the
chivalrous Lee, Johnston, Jackson,
Mosby, Forest, and others, through
four years, with spirits akin to demons,
have been imbruing their hands in the
blood of Union men. Nashville is
crowded with them now; one meets
them everywhere; the Provost Mar
shal's office is thronged with them.—
They take the oath , freely, for it car
ries with it groat benefits, but it is
very doubtful whether many of them
are better Union men after they have
taken the oath of allegiance than be
fore. The conduct of many of these
men subsequently show that the Union
Tonnesseean's view is the correct one,
viz : that they can't bo trusted. There
is a vast difference between the Union
people of the North and the Union
people of the South in the sentimonts
they respectively entertain toward the
vanquished rebels. Wo, of the North,
generally speaking, are inclined to
clemency and aro ready to forgive,
some perhaps-to forget, and to give to
the repentant rebels all privileges and
comforts not inconsistent with thO dig
nity and welfare of the Nation. With
the Unionists of the South it is differ
ent : there is scarcely one of them but
who has bad a father, brother, son or
relative shot or hung, or - been himself
chased from his home and hunted for
his life, his family perhaps outraged,
and this by guerilla bands composed
most likely of his nearest neighbors, in
the service and with the sanction of
the Confederate Government. In
talking with the Union Tennessee
troops, of whom we see a great many
here, one quickly perceives' eir admi
ration for the old law, "an eye for an
eyo, a tooth for a tooth, blood for
blood," and their implicit faith in it as
a rule of action in their future dealings
with those at whose hands they have
suffered so many indignities and
wrongs.
The Freedman's Schools here main
tained by and - under the control of the
different State Freedman Associations,
some of them under the care of some
particular Christian denomination, are
all in a vigorous and flourishing con
dition. The highest hopes. of the
friends of the down-trodden race are
more than realized in the eagerness of
these people to attend - school; and the
rapid advancement they make in all
the branches of study. The school
that has most interested us during our
stay hero is ono of three schools in the
city under the care of the Pennsylva
nia Freedthan's Association, and under .
the immediate supervision and control
of Mr. Mitchel, of Philadelphia, agent
for the Penna. Freedman Association
in the Southwest. A small party of
us visited this school a few days since,
It is held in a rather modest frame
building. in the western part of the
city. It is taught by three ladies from .
Williamsport, Penna.: Miss Ault, Miss
Shumaker, and Mrs. Fribley, widow of
the late Col. Fribley, who was former
ly a captain in the 84th Penna. There
aro two hundred scholars in attendance
from the age of five to eighteen, and
'the ladies told us-they every day had
to reject numerous applications to en
ter the school. They called our at
tention to a poor young soldier who
bad lost his right arm in the service,
and who was seated in among the lit
tle children industriously employed on
his book. The ladies said he had coma
day after day and plead so hard to bo
admitted into the school that his re
quest was granted: Outside the door
was one little four year old boy .whose
appearance wonld interest alroosV any
one. lle was a chubby, bright eyed
fellow, with calico shirt dud linsey
trousers, and a little torn wool hat,
Which ho was continually swinging
round in the air. Ile was barefoot,
and went through a number of inde
scribable evolutions forour benefit and
amusing us- by hiding his face in his
hat, turning somersaults, and beating
on the steps with sticks in imitation of
a drummer. The teacher told us he
- came there every morning and would
not leave till the school was out in the
- evening. As -he is somewhat noisy
they frequently order and sometimes
drive him away, but he returns and
says ho will stay there till they take
hint in. I think he will yet carry his
point. Upon examining the copy
books of the Children we were surpris
ed to see bow well they imitated the
"copies," and how neat and free from
blots their books were kept. The la
dies told us they had been teachers
while at home, but that in all their
experience in teaching they had not
been cheered by such masked advance•
ment as characterized this school.--
Much attention is paid to music in
these schools; and we were. attentive
listeners while the children of -this
school sang for us the following beau
tiful and touching song :
The Slave Children's Song of Freedom.

A Story of Gen. Grant's Boyhood.
Tho village of Georgetown, Ohio,
where Gen. Grant and the writer of
this article spent a part of their boy
hood, the arrival of a show of any
kind, was a great event, and the one
with which my story is connected, was
a circus. People came from ovorypart
of the country,'in all kind of convey.
ances, to sec the wonderful feats. To
the boys, the pony and the monkey
wore the great objects of attraction.
The boys and the monkey, as if enjoy
ing pecullar.favors, were permitted to
ride the pony.
This pony was well trained to per
form his part. On the occasion of
which I speak, after the pony and
monkey bad performed to the great
delight of the spectators, the manager
asked if there was not a boy who
would liko to ride the pony. The word
had no sooner boon- spoken, than out
stopped a good sized boy from the
country, and took his soarupon the
pony. The pony understood well the
part to be performed now, and as soon
as ho was turned into tho ring, began
running at the top of his speed, and to
rear and kick as high as he could;
then suddenly turning around, the boy
went suddenly into the dust, to the
great amusement of lookers on. The
pony seemed to enjoy the frisk as much
as the audience.
The manager then said, "Perhaps
there is another boy who would like to
take a ride." Finally, out stepped
Ulysses S. Grant: He was much smal
ler in size than the boy who had just
boon thrown by tho pony: The man
ager placed young Grant upon the
back of the pony. Ulysses took the
reins into his hands, and tucked his
heels close in behind • the 'shoulder
blades of the pony. He seemed to
comprehend the situation. The man
ager, seeing his composure and self.
reliance, thought be would give the
pony a hint of what he must do. So
ho gave him a smart crack with the
whip, and away he went at the top of
his speed, now roaring so high as to ho
nearly- erect on his hind feet, then
kicking up so as to be perpendicular
upon his foro feet; but Ulysses never
lost,. for a
~moment, his equilibrium.
The pony, finding he could not un
horse him-.this way, fan around the
ring at the top of his speed, and 'then
suddenly wheeled about. But the rider
was nut'tafcen by surprise; ho throw
both arnin.tightly about the neck of
the ponkand stuck to him, amidst the
great cheering of the crowd. The pony
could .no- more throw him from his
bank than he could; the monkey. Ho
"fought it out on that line," as much
as in taking Richmond and Vicksburg.

was to be seen, and to be welcomed;
'and beside that ' naught else was

oiler, compared with the desire to see
it, and to welcome its merits and deeds.
Never was an army welcomed like this
ono. The Reviewing Officers were the
commander-in-chief of the army and
navy of the United Stata;, and Lieut.
General Grunt. They sat in a pavilion
erected in front of the White House,
on the south side of the avenue. This
pavilion was beautifully festooned with
battle flags, and decorated with flow
ers and evergreen,
..linmediately over
the centre of the pavilion, and at each
end of the same were large sized stars
formed of flowers and evergreens,
while the following names of battles,

Battle Flags of Pennsylvania.
interesting Ceremony at Camp Return
Harrisburg.—Speeches. by Col. A. B.
31cCalmont and Governor Curtin.
On Saturday evening, the interes ,
ing ceremony of receiving the battle
flags of Pennsylvania regiments Mus
tered oot of service, took place at Clamp
Return, HarrisbUrg, irrthe presence of
a concourse of spectators. Sixteen regi
ments were represented on the occa
sion—in all about five thousand men.
The veterans were massed in froht of
stand erected for the Governor
and staff, and after prayer by
Robinson - , Cul. A. B..llleCalmont, for
merly of Pittsburgh, snd lately in corm.
mand 'of the 208th Pennsylvania Vol
unteers, salutedlhe Governor and said
, he had the honor of returning to the
Executive of the State standards he
had presented to regiments present.
Tho colors had .survived, and whether
whole or tattered,. they had been
brought back to the Governor that they
might be deposited in-the archives of
the State. They had been triumphant
ly preserved and these noble men had
brought them here. Some, sir, aro tat--
ered and worn, and they call up asso
ciations that I will not dwell upon;
but, thank God! they are all here. Tho
recollection of the scenes through
which they have passed is too fresh
upon me, and time prevents me recur
ring generally- to the memory of the
many brave men that have fallen un
der the Standards which I now return
to your hands. Thank God, though
many have fallen, these emblems are
preserved, and the great reality is
secured. We have still a country, still
a home, still our free institutions, and
these noble men around me have fought
to preserve them! I shall not be invidi
ous; I shall make no distinctions.
One regiment shall not be praised
above another—all have done their
duty- . --all of them are entitled to the
gratitude of their fellow citizens at
home—l bring you their common offer
ing,won for you in carnage and blood,
and through sufferings and afflictions.
Col. McCalmont's•speech was'quite
eloquent, and drew tears from his
scarred veteran companions, as well as
civilians present.
Gov. Curtin, on stepping forward,
was greeted with : nine rousing cheers.
in receiving the honored flags Gov
ernor Curtin remarked to the veterans
that he praised God no tarnish rested
upon the soldiers of Pennsylvania, and
that their flags were returned without
dishonor. He said: "How can I express
to you, the measure of your services to
your country add your fellow-citizens
who have remained at home. You do
not bring back to us the spoils of deso
lated cities, no captives to be made
slaves—but higher, holier, far, your
mission and its results! You bring
back to us a Governmeht restored
and saved. The free institutions we
received from the Apostles of Liberty
in the Revolution, you give, with all
their blessings to oar children. Here
tofore the freest, you have now made
this the strongest government in the
world; and you. have demonetrated
that a republic can live through do
mestic treason and insurrection; and,
more than all, you give to the experi
ment of American civilization four
millions of ransomed people. [lmmense
applause.] If wo could this day dry
the tears of the widow's and orphans;
if we could restore the maimed and
call from their graVes the heroic dead,
our haPpiness would be complete. But
J connot fail to congrattdate yo;} now,

have give our full share of blood and
treaeuroi and the field upon which we
now stand will bo known as classic
ground, for here has .bean the -great
central point of the organization of
our military forces. When isy ad
ministration of rrblio- affairs will have
been forgotten, leries of "You will

bo only known to the investigation of
the antiquarian, Camp Curtin, with
its memories and associations will be
immortal. I are not ashamed to spy
to you fellow citizens of Pennsylvania,
that I have tried to do my duty to
you. I wish I could have done more for

In conclusion, Governor Curtin said;
I wish you all a safe retorn to yew

Tip Faun GARDEN.—The newly
planted fruit will bear. watching. If
they have but a fow weak loves only,
it shows the roots •have been injured;
then prune them severely, which will
make, them, grow freely. abould be
a main object to make all transplanted
trees not merely have leaves; but have
new shoots at the earliest possible mo
ment. If they are, growing very well,
they may bo allowed to. perfect a few
fruit. Overbearing on a newly plant
ed tree, is, however; one of the best,
ways of making it stunted for years.
;Strawberries, whep grown in hills- 7
the moot laborious but most productive
method of growing them—sheuld have
runners cut
,off as they grow, arid the,
surface soil kept loose.by shalloiv hoe
ings occasionally. Short litter, half
rotten as a Mulch, is also beneficial.—
Lawn mowings are often applied; but
with little benefit. Where they are
grown in beds, they should not be too
thick, is they starve one another, and
the crop next year 'will be poor.
Blackberries are not always ripe
when they are black. Leave thorn on
till they part readily from the stalks.
Currants are so easily grown as to
require few hints for their manage
ment. If they throw up many suck
ers, take out a portion now, instead of
waiting, till winterto cut them away.
The currant borer id a great post, eat
ing out the pith of young shoots, and
causing them.to grow poorly, and bear
but small fruit next year. Gummy.
"fly paper" is, we think, the best thing
to catch them.
Gooseberries should have the soil,
and even the plants, if it were practi
cable, shaded a little. Dry air about
them is one great cause of mildew.
Red spider and other insects closely
follow on the heels of a dry atmosphere
They must bo watched, and not ,suf
fared to injure the leaves till by natu
ral maturity the plant has no longer
use for them.
Raising Squashes.
Squashes do best on new land. All
the summer varieties have a hard shell
when matured. The crook-necks, and
the white and yellow summer scollop
ed are the usual varieties grown. Diff
erent varieties should be planted far
apart, as they mix very easily. 'Two
or three plants are enough for a hill.
The beat protection from bugs is the
box, covered with gauze or glass.
Squashes•oecupy a groat dettlof ground
when suffered to run and have tbeir
own way. Where a person has but
little room, and wishes to economise,
a trellis for thorn to run upon is rec
ommended, and is said to operate very
successfully. Stakes or small posts
are set up two feet apart each way,
and the' seed planted in the centre.
When the vines begin to run they are
trained upon the slats nailed to the
posts, and by throwing boards =as
the elate the fruit is supported, and
will ripen much earlier than when•al
lowed to lay on the ground half cover
ed with leaves
Squashes trained in this way can
be made to occupy bnt little space, and
are' said to bear as profusely as when
the vines run over the ground. To
those who have but little room, the
plan is well worth trying. For late
"varieties, the beat are the Hubbard,
Boston, Atarrciw, Acorq, and vegeta
ble Marrow. The Yniparaso is a tol
erable fair yariety when the season is
just right ; immense squashes some.
times grown are rather for the sight
than the table, They are coarse meat
ed aq4 watery, compared with the lit
tle nurley Itubbard, which. is mealy,
and as delicately flavore4 as the swept

Training:foi l Atoes. •
4 fiery • cheap and good' rack for
training tomato , vines upon, is • to take
a piece of wood tree or four feet long,
similar in size to a roofing lath, bore
three holes through it,then•talte.stieks
two feet long and put them in the first
mentioned piece, which, by sharpening
one end, can be driven into the ground,
tlirep of 14:kose upright to each plant,
forming a triangle for the plant - to
grow in. After the plant has grown
to a considerable size, and the, firet.l4ude
appear wimp A f t min* will be, clip
thp branelt offjust ahoy° them, which
retards the growth of the yine, and
facilitates :the growth of the young
tomato. By having the vines thus
trained, it prevents the tomato from
rotting, and the chickens dq not have
as good 4 chance tp destroy them'. One
dozen vines thus planted and trained
will prodneo'eneagb topaatoes for any
ordinary, family. I deem it the mast
economical :way of training them, espo
pially.in the .fn the• fall these
racks can be peeked away in some old
buil4ing, then they will bo alwayi
ready for U.
