CHARGE AT MONTEREY We were not many—we who stood Before the iron sleet that day;" Yet many a gallant spirit would Give half his years if he but could Have been with us at Monterey. Now here now there, the shot is hailed In deadly drifts of fiery spray; Yetnot a single soldier quailed When wounded comrades round them wailed Their dying shouts at Monterey. And on, still on our columns kept, Through walls of flame its withering way ; Where fell the dead the living slept, Still charging on the grins which swept - The slippery streets of Monterey. The. foe himself recoiled aghast, Wheri, striking-where he strongest.lay,_ We swooped the flanking batteries past, And braving full their murderous blast, Stormed home the towers of Monterey. Our banners on the turrets wave, And there the evening btizle},play, Where orange - boughs above fhb. grave Keep green the memory" 1 *Amu Who fought and fell at Monterey. , We were not many—we who pressed Beside the brave who fell that day; Bat who of us has not confessed Re'd rather share their warrior's rest Than not hove ben at Monterey OVER TILE SEA. Over the waves of the treacherous sea Sailed my loved sailor , boy, years ago; And, at our parting, he said to me : "I bhall be back in a year or two; (1 1 shall be back, love, a tall man grown, And from the Wanda that aleep in the main Many a jewel and precious atone I will give thee when I come back again. "And a little cot by the rolling Wave§ Shall be the home of my well loved bride, Where the created billow tbe white mind loves ; When I come home, loVe, from over the tide." And ho left on my forehead a lover's kiss, And parted from me in the spring-time glad, When the whole world seemed full of happiness, And I, only I, at the parting was sad. Years have fled, yet I seem to see. As plainly as erst, in that spring time day, My sailor lore swinging his bat to me, As his ship in the distance faded; away. And here, with the cold moon looking down And silvering the foamfringed waves of the main I dreamily think of my sailor love brown, Who will never, no, never come back-again. But, perchance, we shall meet in another land, And the hope is a blissful one to me; So here for the boatman I waitingly stand, Who shall ferry me over death's black, cold sea Who shall ferry me over.denth's black, cold sea, Whose grim WRVO9 beat on the heavenly shore Where my sailor lover will welcome me, And our parting be never, oh, never more! BiOttlialteDlLs. THE WHITE SPARROW. *'Sleep Is the worst of thieves ; He steals half our Kum" In most parts of Germany, there passes current among the people this proverb: "He that Would thrive Must the whits sparrow see." The meaning of this proverb is not, at first sight so apparent as that of some others that circulate amongst us, such as 'Early habits make the man,' 'Honesty is the-best policy,' &c; but the signification it is intended to convey is not the less true and im portant. I will therefore, here relate the story connected with its origin, even as I received it myselyrom the lips of-an old and highly esteemed friend. There was an old farmer with whom everything appeared to grow worse from year to year. His cattle died one by one and the produce of his land was not the half of what it ought to be ; in fact all his property was, to use a familiar expressionto ing to the dogs.' In short *hardly a week, passed by that either the tax gatherer or the pawn-broker did not come to his. window, and addressing him with the courteous bow, say— 'l am, really very sorry, Herr Ruck wart, to be compelled to put you to incotivenipire, but I am obliged to do my duty.'' The old friends of Herr Ruckwart also tried to do their duty to him.— They advised, they entreated andthey helped him, but all in vain, and_ so one after another gave him up in de spair declaring with a sigh, that as for poor Ruckwart, there was no use in trying to help him—he was pass ed being helped. He has one friend, htiwever, whose heart wds in the right, and who was not only a good tnan, but a very clear sighted one. - This friend thought he would not give Herr Ruekwart up al together, without making one more attempt to save him. So one day he led the conversation, as if acciden tally, to the subject of sparrows,. re lating many anecdotes of these birds, and observing how greatly they had multiplied of late, and how very cun ning and voracious they had. become. Herr Ruckwart shook his head gravely, in answer to this observa tion,_ and said— " They are indeed most destructive creatures. Forray part, I have not the slighest doubt that it is mainly ow ing to their depredations that my har vest has of late years been so unpro ductive." To this conjecture his old friend made no rejoinder; bat after a mo ment's pause, he continued the con. versation by another interrogatory— 'Neighbor, have you ever seen a white sparrow ?" 'No,' replied Ruckwart; 'the spar rows which alight in my fields are all the common gray sort. . 'That is very,probable, too," rejoin ed his friend. 'The habits of the white sparrow are peculiar to itself. Only one comes in the world every year, and being so different from his fellows, other sparrows take a dislike for it, and peek at it when it appears among them. For this reason it seeks its food early , in the morning, `before the rest of the feathered tribe are aetir,,and then goes back tdits nest, LEBANON, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1862. where it remains for the rest of the day." That is very strange !' exclaimed Ruckwart. 'I must really try and get a sight at that sparrow—and if possible I will catch it, too.' On the morning following this conversation, the farmer rose with the sun, and sallied forth into the field. He walked around his farm, searched his farmyard in every quer .ter, examining the roof of his gar. ners and the trees of his orebards,to see whether he could diseovei any trace of the wonderful white spar• row ! But the white sparrow, to the great disappointment of the farmer, would not show itself or'stir from its imaginary nest. What vexed the farmer still more, however, was that although the sun stood high in the heavens by the time he had concluded his round, not one of the farm laborers were astir. They too, seemed resolved not to stir from their` — nests. lifeanwhihi, the &Atte were bellowing in their stalls with hunger, and not a soul was near to feed them. Herr Ruckwart was refteeting on the disadvantages of this state of things, when suddenly he perceived a lad coming out of the house, carry ing a sack of wheat on his shoulders. He seemed to be. in great haste to get out of the precincts of the farm, and Herr Ruekwart soon perceived that his steps were bent towards a public house, where - Cisper had un happily a long score to 'pay. He hastened after the astonished youth, who believed his Master to be still in the enjoyment of his` morning nap, and' quickly relieved him of his bur den. The farmer next bent his steps to the cowholise, and peeping to see whether the white sparrow had per chance.taken .refuge there, he discov ered, to hie dismay, that the milk maid.was handing a liberal portion of milk through the window to her neighbor, to .mix with her morning cup of coffee: 'A pretty sort of housekeeping this is,' thought the farmer to himself, as he hastened to his wife's apartment, and roused her from her slumbers. 'As sure as my name is Ruckwart,' he exclaimed in an angry tone, 'there must be an end to these lazy habits. Everything is going wrong for the want of somebody to look after them. So far as I am concerned,' thought the good farmer to himself will rise every day at the same hour I rose this morning, and then I shall get my farm cleared of those who do not intend to do their duty properly.—. Besides, who knows but some fine morning or other, may succeed in catching the white sparrow !' Days and weeks passed on. The farmer adhered to his resolution, but h e soon forgot the white sparrow, and only looked after the cattle and his cornfields. Soon everything around him wore a flourishing aspect, and men began to observe that Herr Ruckwart (Backward) now well deserved to be called Herr Vorwart (Forward.) In due course of time his old friend again came to spend the day with him and inquired in a humorous tone -4 Well, my fine fellow, how are you getting on.nowi have you yet sue ceeded in catching a glimpse. of the white sparrow ?' The farmer only replied to this question by a smile, and then, hold ing out his hand to his old friend, ho said— 'God bless you, Herder I You have saved me and my family from - ruin." Often, in' after years, when Herr Rtiekwart was aprospefous man, re. speeted by neighbors, and beloved by his well ordered household, he was wont to relate this history of his early life, and thus by degrees, the saying passed into a proverb. that would thrive, must the white sparrow see.' MARENGO, Wh ep Napoleon returned from Egypt, the latter part of the year 1799, be found republican France as sailed, both by sea and land by the combined fleets and armies both of England 'and Austria. The peril of France was so great that dictatorial power seemed essential for salvation. Napoleon, by general acclaim, was placed at the head of the Govern. meat, with the title of Consul. His first act was to write to both England and Austria, imploring peace. An Austrian army 150,000 strong was on the banks of the Rhine, menacing the northern provinces, of France.— Napoleon placed 150,000 veterans, the elite of the French army, under the command of Moreau, and sent them to repel these invaders. The work was effectually accomplished at the great battle of Hohenlinden. The Austrian General Melee, with 140,000 men, was marching upon France through western Italy. He had already reached the plains from which the Alps ascend, and was pre paring to penetrate France through the undefended defiles. Napoleon formed the plan of presenting no re sistance to the head of these formida ble columns, but secretly to pass the Alps, where his passage would not be thought of, and to assail the foe unex pectedly, and with overwhelming en ergy, in the rear. Sixty-five thousand troops were as sembled, at points on the eastern fron tiers of France, where they would at tract but little observation, but from which, at a few hour's notice, they could be concentrated at the contem plated rendezvous at , Dijon. From this station, at the foot of the Alps, abriost with a. rush they were to cross the pass, of the Great St. Barnard, and to sweep down, like an avalanche, upon the Austrian hosts. The minu test details of the expedition were ar ranged with the utmost. care,_ that there should be no possibility of fail ure. Immense magazines - of previ sions were Collected. An ample a mount of gold was placed in the ar my chest, to hire the peasants, with their mules,..to aid in dragging the guns over the pass. Mechanic shops rose, as by magic, all along the way, to repair promptly every possible breakage. The ammunition was stor ed in small'. boxes, which could be transported on the backi.i of, mules.— Hospitals were established on both sides of the pass. • On the summit of the mountain is a convent of world-wide .renown.— The monks were provided with an ample supply of bread and cheese,. and a cup of wine to present to each soldier as he. passed. Napoleon sit perintendediall these details, while,' -at-the SarnA. ei -he errangedell-the comprehensive combinations of the campaign. As the precipitous path could only be trod' in single file, the carriages were taken to pieces, and stung on_looles, carried'. by men.— Large pin logs were split and hot. lowed out, so that the heavy guns could be fastened in the grooves, and thus they were dragged by long strings of mules,in single fife. When the mules failed a handred men were harnessed to a single gun. The sum mit Of, the pass is eight thousand feet above the sea. The distance across, from the plains of France to the plains of Italy, is twenty miles. Though there were several disasters by the way, and not a few lost their lives, the feat which had been deem ed impossible, was accomplished, and the army appeared as if it ;had de scended from the clouds, upon the plains of Italy, traversing the banks of the Aosta. The Austrians, who were eagerly crowding upon the fron tiers of k'rance, had no conception of the peril thus gathering in their rear. Melas heard the tidings, and alarm ed began to concentrate his forces Napoleon gave him not a:moment of leisure. To Lannes and Murat he is sued the order, "Gather immediately your divisions at Stradella. You will have onyour hands-fifteen or eigh teen thousand Austrians. Meet them and cut them to pieces. It will be so many enemies less on the -day of the decisive battle we are to expect with the entire, army of Melits." The prediction was true. Lannes and Murat encountered 18,000 of the foe at Montebello, strongly posted with batteries which swept the plain. The French soldiers, inspired by the almost miraculous power, with which Napoleon infused his own spirit into his troops, appeared to pay no regard to shot or shell. Though but eight thousand in number they rushed upon the entrenched foe. "At the first disk charge of the hostile batteries," said Lannes, "I could hear the bones crash in -my division like glass in a hail storm." For nine hours the carnage contin. ued. lust as the Austrians were routed, and were flying before their victors, Napoleon appeared upon the field. Lannes had been the hero of this bloody day. As he stood amidst mounds of, the dead, blackened with smoke, and with his uniform soiled and tattered with the terrible strife, Napoleon grasped his hand with a smile of gratitude, and conferred up on him the title of Duke of Mon tebello. Four days after this Napoleon with but twenty thousand men, encoun tered Melas with 40,000 troops upon the plain of Marengo. The Austrian force included 7,000 cavalry and 200 pieces of artillery. The French Gen eral, Desaix, with 0,000 men, was nearly thirty miles from the' field.— Fortunately, when reclining in his tent, he •heard the first crash of the battle, as it came booming over the field like distant thunder. .is troops were instantly on the march, and they pressed forward with all possi ble speed to the aid of their comrades. All the day long Napoleon held his ground against a foe out-numbering -him two to;one. It was now 3,o'clock in the afternoon. The contending hosts were, within pistobshot of each other, and in many ,cases blending in the fiercest fight. On parts of the field the French, exhausted and over powered, were retiring in confusion, pursued and cut down by the cavalry of the foe. • Napoleon, by his person al supremacy, still held a few squares together, slowly, reluctantly, but in, good order retiring , while the victo rious Austrians closely followed them, ploughing their ranks with two hund red pieces of artillery. Melas doubt ed not that he had gained the day, and dispatched couriers throughout Europe to announce his victory. Just then the solid columns of De - mix appeared, impetuously entering the plain. Desitix cast an anxious glance over the confusion around him, and upon the broken, bleeding and re treating battalions of the French, and spurring his horse, galloped to the place where Napoleon stood envelop ed in the smoke and the dust of the conflict. "I see," said Desaix, "that the bat tle is lost. I can do no more for you, I suppose, than to cover your retreat." "By no moans," Napoleon replied. "The battle I trust is gamed. Charge with your column. ' The disordered tops will rally in your rear." Mimi', at the head of his division, made an impetuous charge upon the front of the advancing loe: At the same time Kellerrnan received an or. der to charge tile foe in flank with his cavalry. The charge was like one of magic. In an instant the *hole as pect, of the' field was trarisfervied.— Those on the retreat were promptly rallied by the voice of Napoleon as he rode along their broken ranks. "My friends," said he, "we have re treated far enough. it is now our turn to advance.. Recollect that lam in the habit .of : sleeping on the field of battle." The French now•raisecl shouts of victory which rose above the thun ders of the cannonade. A panic, and a well founded, one, now,pervaded the ranks of •the Austrians. in the wild est confusion, they broke and fled.— They were pursued, cut down, and trainpled beneath the frail hoofs of Kellerman's dragoons. When the sun went down behind the distant Alps, after witnessing - :twelye hours of, this frightful carnage, more than twenty thousand human beings were strewn upon the plain, weltering in blood. The rout of 31elas was •so entire that escape was hopeless, and be was at the mercy of his victor. Napoleon rode,OVer the field and gazed sadly upon the aspect ot misery spread ev erywhere around him. As some am bulances passed him laden with the mutilated forms of the, wounded, he stopped, and uncovered his head, say ing : "We cannot but regret not being wounded like these unhappy men, that we might share their sufferings." Underthe influence of such feelings he took a pen upon that gory field, and wrote as follows to the Emperor of Austria : "It is on the field of battle, :mil the sufferings 'of a multitude of wounded, and .surrounded by fifteen thousand corpses, that I beseech your majesty to listen to the voice of hu manity, and not to suffer two nations to cut each other's - throats for inter ests not their own. It is my part to press this.upon your majesty, being upon the very theatre of war. Your majesty's heart cannot feel it as keen ly as does mine." The'lewas long and eloquent, but- una ng. England and Aus tria still continued the strife until the French armies; within sight of the steeples of Vienna, compelled a peace. [Prom the "Wheeling Intelligeneer," Jan. 22.1 AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR.- CAPT. WORTHINGTON BE TWEEN TWO FIRES. Not long since there arrived at Grafton, Va., from this city, a lady calling herself Mrs. Alfred Worthing ton, of an Ohio - regiment, then sta tioned at Beverly. On the same even ing there arrived at Grafton from the Northwestern road, another lady al so calling herself Mrs. Alfred Worth ton, as aforesaid. Both, of these la dies were `going, they said; to see their husbands at Beverly. The peo ple about the hotel concluded, after many surmises and conjectures, that one of these ladies was Capt. Worth ington's wife, and as he was not sup posed to be a Mormon, that the oth er was not, and in this the people were right. The wife of Captain Worthington who had come by way of Parkersburg, was a gaily dressed, attractive lady, but not very good looking. The mistress of Captain Worthington, who came by the way of this city, was a plainly dressed, unassuming young woman and good looking. Thepeople about the hotel suppos eethat the plainly attired and good looking young lady was Capt. Worth ington's wife, and that the gaudily rigged and rather homely woman was his mistress; but in this the people were wrong. The good looking .wo man had an eye to business, She got up earl Yin the morning:and happily secured.a passage in an ambulance wagon going to Beverly, and-without being aware that she had slept under the same roof with another person of the same name,.set out for that ail. lage. She reached the village in time; and found Captain Worthington who introduced her to his brother officers and 'friends as his wife. SoMehow or other, Mrs. Worthing ton was detained at Grafton for some days, during which time she • was avoided by the guests of the hotel, and regarded with suspicion, from the cause just stated, and we are not sure that she 'entirely escaped insult. At last however, (that's a good word,) she was enabled to find room in an am bulance bound for Beverly and set off in that direction, Like her good looking predecessor, she came in sight of 'Beverly in good time "Seeing the light of the village Gleam through the rain and mist," she thought of her husband and the joy of meeting him in his lonely tent, after it long absence. She repaired to. Captain Worthington's headquar ters, and found that gentleman ab sent, but discovered instead a good looking, plainly got-up young woman, whereat she was much astonished.— Mrs. Worthington asked the young woman to identify herself. The wo man said she was wife to Captain Worthington, whereupon Mrs. Worth ington made known that she was ashamed to say that she herself, in an evil hour, had been induced to place herself in that relation to the captain, and proceeded to denounee the young woman as one whom Solomon would have called a strange woman. About this time Capt. Worthing- ton came in, and seeing, in a moment that he was in for it, beat a retreat. The nice young woman gathered up her traps, and in less than it takes us to write this "over true tale," was on her-way back to Grafton in the same ambulance which had brought Mrs. Worthington to Beverly, and herself and the Captain to grief. But Mrs. Worthington was all that 'her dress and bearing denoted her,.and instead of being satisfied with the young wo. man's departure, informed the col°. WHOLE NO. 662. net of4dl'that had occurred, and af. ter ofeetually exposing her husband, and4okouneinghim as a diSgrace to the uniforin he wore, pat back after the nice. young woman, whom she threatened to eat. up alive and then apply.for a divorce.

Y‘es massa, I 'do dat,' he replied, when the cororal continued, 'Well, then, take hold of the Bible,— holding out a letter envelope, upon which wee delineated the goddess of liberty standing upon a Suffolk pig, wearing the emblem of our country. The negro grasped the envelope cau tiously with his thumb and forefin ger, when the corporal proceeded to administer the oath by saying: You do solemnly swear that you will sup port the Constitution of the United States, and see that there are no grounds floating upon the coffee, at all times." Yes, niassa, I do dat,' he replied; 'I allers settles him in de cofiee.pot.' Here he let go of the en velope to gesticulate by a downward thrust of his forefinger, the direction that would be given to the coffee grounds for the future. 'never mind' how.you do it,' shouted corporal, 'but hold on to the Bible.' Lordy massa, I forgot,' said the negro, as he darted forward 'and grasped the •envelope with a firmer clutch, when corporal continued—'and you do solemnly swear that you will support the Con stitution of all the loyal States, and not spit upon the plates when, clean ing them, or wipe them with your. shirt sleeve.

WHEAT DOES NOT PAT IN lOWA.- Mr. Duane Willson, Secretary of the lowa Agricultural Society, estimates the yield of wheat in this State the past year at 12 bushels per acre.— The price is 40 cents per bUshel,. or $4 80 per acre. He thinks this in volves a, loss of $2. per acre, or about 63,000,000 to the , whole State. He thinks the farmers of the Northwest ern States cannot afford to raise wheat except for home consumption. The great crop of the West is corn. lowa, produced last year, estimating the .yield at 35 bushels per acre, (which is 10 bushels less than in 1860) over ftftY-two million bushels. This Mr. W. thinks ; will fatten over $80;- 000,00.0 worth of beef and pork, even at the present• low prices; so •that, Mr. W. says, no one need suppose that farming does not pay in lowa. He estimates that over a million dol lar's worth of sorghum syrup and sugar was raised in this State last year.—Davenport Gazette. or When Dr. Franklin was mak ing his first experiment in electricity he•wished to try its effect on. a hen. and while- !folding the wire to the . bird, it struggled and he received the whole charge himself.

A little child in the front row ofthe spectators becoming frightened, rushed forward as a squadron of hussars were charging at full tilt—swoopingdown with maddening velocity, nay, almost on the child. Terror paralyzed alike the spectators and the mother of the child, while the lovely and amiable Empress almost faint ed with horror, for the childs' destruction seemed inevitable. The little one was almost under the horses feet—another in- stant would have sealed its loosening doom —when a hussar, without loosening his speed or his hulk, threw ,himself along his horse's neck, and seizing the child, placed it in safety in front of his saddle, without, as much as changing his pace or breaking , the alignment in-the least.

THE NATIONS WITHOUT FIRE According to Pliny, fire was for a long time unknown to some of the ancient Egyptians; and when Exodus, the cele brated astronomer, showed it to them, they were absolutely in raptures. The Persians, Phoenicians, Greek and several other nations acknowledge that their an cestors were withoutthe use of fire; and the Chinese confess the same of their Pro genitor Pomponious. Mala, Plutarch and other ancient authors, speak of nations, who, at the time they wrote, knew not the use of a fire, or had but just learned it.— FaCts of the same kind are 'also . attested tiii:"S'e Vera] . moo_ writers: The inhabi tants of the Marian Islands—whiCh were discovered in 1551—had no idea offire.— Never was astonishment greater than theirs, when they first saw it on the de scent of Magellan in one of their islands. , At first they believed it to be some kind of animal that fixed to and fed upbn wood. • The inhabitants of the Canary Islands were formerly equally ignorant: Africa presents, even in our own day, some na tions in this deplorable state. The Fort DOnelson Vielory. CHICAGO, Feb. 18 The position of the ground occupied by our troops in the attack on - Fort Donelson was such that not more than one regiment could operate at the same time, while the rebels could bring nearly their whole force to bear against us. The first regiment to receive the rebels Was the 18th Illinois, which fought with desperate courage until their ammunition was exhausted, when they were forced to retire. • They were , replaced by the Bth Illinois, who were also driven back after firing their last round. Meanwhile the other regiments were lending such feeble assistance as their po sitions would admit. General Lew Wallace was then order ed to reinforce General McClernand and he sent two brigades from the centre. The 31st Illinois Regiment, Col. Logan, fought like veterans, defending Schwartz's battery under the most galling fire, until every horse at the battery was killed, to gether with all the officers who had charge of the guns, as well as the Lieutenant Colonel, the Acting Major, seven Captains, and a number of Lieutenants of the 31st Illinois Regiment had been killed and the Colonel wounded. Being nearly surrounded, Captain Cook, who was left in command, drew off what there was left of the regiment, not, however, until their last round was ex pended, and they had cornmenced . driving the rebels before them. The Second Brigade then came up and took the place of the retired one and fought desperately, losing a great number of kill ed, but with the assistance of a portion of Wallace's division, the 49th and 59th Ohio regiments drove the rebels back to their entrenchments, gaining a. portion of the ground lost. The object of the rebels was evidently to cut their way through our trobps. The General Johnson taken prisoner is Bushrod Johnson, a Brigadier-General from Tennessee, and not Major General Sidney A. Johnson. The rebels, who have escaped, it is sup posed have gone to Nashville. or Clarks ville, where it is supposed.the. rebels will attempt to make another stand. The rebel officers admit that if .vie take Nashville, the rebellion in Tennessee is gone up. THE SURRENDER During Saturday night, a contraction of all our lines was made for a simultane ous assault from every point, and orders were given by General Grant to take the enemy at, the point - of the bayonet. Every man was at his post—the 57th Illinois occupying the extreme right, at daylight on Sunday, ready to advance but when the full light of day broke forth white flags were seen displayed in many places on the enemy's works. An officer, at a convenient point, was informed that they had stacked their arms and surrendered in the morning,. the fol lowing correspondence having passed be t weein the commanders:— 11EADQVARTE118, FORT DoxrLaw?, February 16, 1862. :fir; In consequence of all the circumstances governing the pro.lent situation of affairs at this stetion, I propose to the commanding officer of the Federal forces the appointment o f commis sioners to arrange upon terms of capitulation of, the forces, at this place, under my command.
