ill Chief of the army, und at once be
ta in u renponailile tor the nioveiiieiitti

to curry out a plan aa to thu move

which he had miidied loi and which,
itidependetit ot political and nnancial
coiiKiueriitioiie, commend ilnell to
every militury mind aa the very beat
for making a campaign aainat Rich

onmruted the windum ot thia plan. In

Urliuno on thu RutiiiahaiiniKk, and
from tbia point oa a baae to advance

I Waa ked whether I knew General

The cimilliillee I In n loal all intercut

(lerHtood, hia enemieR, who, In aunie
noted CRK'H, pretetukd to lie bia beat
trielidn, quietly iliiimated tbat ho waa
not tbe man fur the position. The ilu
tiiw of hid (-oiuliiaiiil were exeeaaively
barraaaing, and (he ntidercurrent ol
detractiim licgmi to dime to the aur
fuii', and muke llxell fell in the adiiiiu
ialration. Jlu attended the fniieral ot
General Landera, who died in Decern
her, and waa buried In Waidiington.
Telling mo aboi.t the funeral on the
liillowing ilnj', he Ha id that when he
now Landers' lacu in thu coffin, look
ing ao calm and iieaculul, und thought
of the troulilca be waa then having,
and waa to hare thereafter, be regret
ted tbat ho wa nut lying there, ill-
atead of Landera. Thene were the de
fiant and iriKiibordinatu feelinga of the
GetieralinCbief.
At length he wa taken aick with
typhoid lever, and for a long time he
waa on the border ol death. Ilia aick
neaa gave bia enemiea an opiortiiuity
which thar were nut alow to embrace,
and "vilification und detraction Increas

began to think thai aomulhing ought

move without tbe commanding Gen
era;.
Gen. Franklin iiroceeda to narrate
what happened at aeveral Interview,
be had with the Cabinet and brother
officer during MeC'lellan' illiiea, and
the determination of Ihe adminialra
lion to undertake R forward move
ment, notwithstanding the illnena of
the Cnnimalider ili Cliiel. Thin inten
tion wa thwarted, however, by Gen.
McClellan recovery. On Moiulay,
January-13, 18132, in cnniny wilh
the principal Uciiernl ol tne army ne
met the l'rvaident and Cabinet, and
wa asked to divulge his plan lor tliu
movement of hi army. Ilutuldthe
Pruaidetit that when hi plana Had

had leaked out and he would therefore
decline, lo divulge them now unliw or
dered lo do ao by thu President. The
Pfeident paid ho would not order turn

General jobnitoa fcvm evaoiaiea
CLEARFIELD,
hi position at Ccntrevillo on tbo 8lb
ol March, the army wa immediately
movod to Fairfax court houno. Here
tbe assignment to corps wai madu,
and my division was assigned to lien
oral McDowoH'a corp. Kbortly aller
ward, about tbo middle of March, wo
returned to a position in front ot Alex
andria to await transportation. It was
determined that the hulk of the army
should be lutideil at Fori res Monroe,
and movu up tbo peninsula, between
thu York and James river, and thai
General McDowell' corn should land
nn tbe North aide of tliu York river.
Thia arrangement required that Gen.
McDowell' corp should ni.ive lust,
and Gen. McClellan, i with hi head
quarter, left Alexandria on April 1st,
lie supposing tbut nothing could occur
to change that arrangement. On the
3d of April, I waa ordered to embark
my division. About 11 o'clock in the
evening I received order to move part
of the division on thu next day, and to
call at boadquarters for further instruc
tions. Going at once to tbe W ar De
partment, I found General McDowell
uml General Wadsworlh there. Geu.
McDowell infnrmed me tbut the Sec
retary of War had told him about nn
hour before that General McClelluli in
tended to work hy strategy and not
by fluhtitig, and that he should nut
have another man from hi Depuit
nieiit, thai all of the enemies ol the ad
ministration centered around him, and
the Secretary accused him of huving
political aspirations. Also that he hud
not left the number of troops lo dclend

The fruit ot thu .Spanish. bayonet is

in a large cluster at tho tup ol thu

birds. The curdinul grosbeuk, lung

a the mncking-bird, are all fund of the

king is on guard, no bird except bis

eye sees me, hiiiI 1 heur hi scolding

No'hing will so quickly make a bird

upon thu purl ot tin glorious bird ol

the rapacity ol Northern visitors, who
sometime pay as high us filly doilurs
for u giaid singer. As lung us this con

confide in us without much cure and

Nearly two week, with the great

and pours tinth such t strain of music

"Don't do what?" our fair young
reader will usk. There a grcul niuny
things you ought to do, and a still
rrculor number that you hud better
not do. Foremost and prominent
among them is to reform a drunkard by
marrying him. Depend upon it, il you
cannot keep him sober during those
days ol the average womun's strongest
influence over wuy ward men, the sea
son of courtship, the chances will hu
against success. Some women have
succeeded in thi lubor of love, but
there am 10,000 fuiluios to one success,
ll i a field of missionary lubor that
very lew of tho sex are fitted to enter.
If John gets drunk once a month while
he is billing and cooing, depend upon
il he will require semi. monthly seasons
of ISucchanaliali recreation when he
(moonlit a benedict. A mun who get
drunk is necessarily a bad or hsilish
mun when he I under thu influence, of
liquor, und is very apt to Boon become
a bud mun w hether drunk or sober.
I he romantic idea tbul a woman cun
reform a drunkard is deserving of a
crown of glory, i ull tho veriest bosh.
They would hu elna-ked by the sugges
tion thut a man who marries a fallen
woman a. id restore her lo a lilii of
trirliiu would hu deserving thu praise
of all mankind. Tho latter would beu
much rusiur tusk than thu former, und
more likely lo succeed. The debase
ment in ouu cuho is generally incurullu,
and scorns tho influence ot kindness of
uffeciiun, while in the other the oppor
tunity to escape from a lite, ol degrada
tion would in iiiiwl cuses insure hcurty
co-oieration with thu missionary in
such a field. Hut the drunkard, as i
generally tbe case, may be addicted to
u number ol other vice, each one of
which ought to hu considered us repul
sive a thai of drinking, Still we find
pure, virluouH, refined and delicate
women risking their live and happi
ness in ihe delusive hopu of rescuing
und restoring them. Instances of the
terrible fuiluro in thia missionary field
are to he louiid in every street and lane,
of a great city, accompaniment ot
score of thu dissolute widows and or
phans of those who buvu staggered
into drunkard o graves. Still the ex
periment is tried by new votaries, who
lixihshly think I hey can succeed wheru
others tail. It is a turrihlu delusion.
Love and devotion are powerless on a
driinkurd. Nothing hut an iron will
und firmness that few women posses
can check the career of a man who bus
once taken hold of strong drink. He
must become subject to lier will and
be restrained fnun his evil course hy a
power airohgur thun love or kindness.
There are enough men who become
drunkards utlur marriage, for all rea
sonable purposes of experiment, with
out taking them fully trained in a ca
reer ol vice and debuuebery. 1 here

Into the sublime theory of hu
manity sin t amo long age us a disturb
ing force. It came as a destroying
angel, came as a tempest upon a serene
sea. Mun without sin would buvu had
still a religion ; but with sin religion
becomes a sentiment full ol alternating
feur und bops, Christianity is the lov
ing effect of the children to return to
their Father.
Truly Christian lives are over
beautiful. They may not always be
sublime, and gilded with sunlight, ai
we generally regard these terms, ind
yet in another sense they ire sublime.
Iho greatest sermon that was ever
preached, is a lifu ever tbo same, from

tho fuel that religion is principle and
not a transitory gleam of sunlight that
gilds lur a litllo time the path of lile.
