PATENT
COAL OIL GREASE.
rpHIS Grease is made from COAL OIL,
* and has been found by repeated tests
to be the most economical, and at the
jame time the best lubricator for Mill
Hearing, Stages, Wagons, Carts, Carriages,
Vehicles of all kinds, and all heavy bearings,
keeping the axles always cool, and not requir
lug Uieiy to be looked after for weeks. It has
jieen tested on railroad cars, and with one
shaking of the waste it has run, with the cars,
20,000 miles! All railroad, omnibus, livery
stable and Kipress companies that have tried
it pronounce it the ne plus ultra.
It combines the body and fluidity of tallow,
beeswax and tar, and unlike general lubrioa
*.ors. will not run oft", it being warranted to
stand any temperature.
1 have it in boxes 2} to 10 lbs. Also kegs
and barrels from 30 to 400 lbs, for general
iisc ijiiq sale. The boxes are more prefera
ble; they arc 6 inches in diameter by 2£ inches
deep, and hold 21 lbs net; the boxes are clean,
and hardly a carman, teamster, expressman,
miller or farmer, that would not purchase
oue box for trial. F. G. FIIANCISC US.

notwithstanding the painful nature of their
wounds, they gathered up their muskets,
knapsacks and trophies, fell into the ranks
and marched up to the Park. The large

The Great Tennessee River Expedition.
[Special Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.]
SAVANNAH, Tcnn., March 12.
The Pled Arrives at its Final Destination.
The greater part of the Tennessee river
expedition arrived at Savannah, Hardin
county, Tennessee, on tho evening and du
ring the night of the 11th instant. As the
sun rose over the canebrakes that line tlie
liver banks, it disclosed such a scene as
neither that nor indeed any river on the
continent ever witnessed before. For near
ly two miles up agd down the stream lay
the fleet. More vessels were constantly ar
riving; the channel was filled with them,
gliding about in search of landings near
the*r respective brigade headquarters, and
the air was heavy with the murky smoke
from hundreds of puffing chimneys.
The shores were covered with the dis
embarked soldiers, cageriy rushing every
where and scrutinizing everything, with a
genuine Yankee determination to sec what-!
ever might be worth seeing " away down
here in Dixie." They early found the
canebrakes, and the number of'fishing poles
carried aboard the boats to be sent up North
and used in more peaceful times, was some
thing astonishing. Cotton fields were more
distant but long before noon plenty could
be heard "describing how the fields.Joo.Led,
and exhibiting soraps of cotton and hand
iuls of seed they had confiscated as speci
'mens from the adjacent warehouses. Offi
cers were galloping over the bottoms, trying
to get an idea of the country —not a few
privates deemed it their duty to give the (
mules a little exercise by beating them in
to a jog trot through the country, toe.
Half u dozen regiments were brought
out on dress parade, and the delighted in- j
habitants of the pleasant little country town
of Savannah crowded into the streets or
peeped out behind the curtains of second sto- \
windows to see the unwonted sight, and
convince their halting faith that, beyond
peradventure, the Yankees were there at
last to defend them in their ill concealed
preference for the Union cause. Couspi-
I cuous among the troops were the noted
Eleventh Indiana and Eighth Missouri, of
Gen. Lew. \\ alince's Division, whose
steady tread an l precision of movements
were unexcelled b}' any equally numerous
body of regulars our old army ever boasted;
and amid all the shouldering and presen
ting of arms, flashing of swords, waving of
banners, prancing of gaily caparisoned
horses, and shouting of orders, there caiuc
! wailing up through this pomp and cireum
j stance of glorious war the unutterable sor
row of the Dead March iu Saul, as with re
versed muskets and measured tread a squad
of his companions bore a brave Buckeye
boy to his lonely grave on the banks of the
j Tennessee. Boor fellow, lie had left Ba
ducah, all life nr.d hope; had sickened on
the river an l now—well, in a lew minutes
i a regiment was deploying by companies al
: most over his grave.
(Icoijraphiatl
The expedition had indeed reached the
! Sunny South. We were seventeen miles
J from the Mississippi line, and only twenty
j fivo or thirty from the northwest corner of
Alabama, precisely as far South as the nor
thern line of South Carolina, and farther
down than any of our armies, excepting
the small ones that have gone around by the
sea coast expedition.
Southern I't rinrssee t n ion ism.
There was evidence through the fay that
the practical 1 niurt sentiment along the
Tennessee was not wholly a myth. ' Beck
on dad 11 not have to run any more and
hide around to keep from bcin' hung,' was
the joyful comment of a hopeless but not
uncomely Savannah Miss, as she gazed on
the still increasing fleet. 4 Laws-a-mercy,'
replied her companion, 4 I knowod the Yan
kees was a powerful people, but 1 never
did see so many boats iu all my born days
before. Guess we will have peace now.'
More practical was the masculine response
to the re appearance of the flag. Some
one hundred and fifty citizens of the town
and county volunteered fur the war to fill
, up the Donelson thinned ranks of the Illi
nois regiments were the first to disem
bark.
j Takintj Prisoners—Sharp Practice in
Picketing. '
Throughout the day Gen. Wallace kept
! scouting parties out around the position of
i his infantry. The results of their labors
! W( - ,r c the capture of three Rebel privates
and one ( 'aptain, and ascertaining that Gen.
Cheatham, with a force that, when nil con
centrated, amounted to full 15,000, had
marched from Burdy the day before to take
possession of the very landing at which we
had disembarked (where a high bluff gave
I a splendid position for artillery to command
the river), and that, bailed in this by our
arrival, lie was then lying within four and
a half miles of our position .' Our brigades
were kept constantly changing their places,
and if the Rebel scouts could make any-,
thing ot Gen. \\ a 1 lace's dispositions or
numbers they must have possessed extra
ordinary powers lor combinations.
The rebel Captain w s taken by a Yan
kee ruse th;>' must have struck him as ex
ceedingly unchivalric. He was out on
picket duty. One of our scouts came sud
i denly ou him where two of his pickets
were posted. Fortunately tho scout was
quick witted, or the capture might have
; been on the other side. 4 Who arc you?' j
he boldly enquired of the first rebel he
I reached. 4 I'm a picket.' • Well, so am I,
but a little off my post, looking around for
j the Yankees.' 4 Where's your post?' ask
ed the Captain; 4 you've no business to be
away from it.' , 4 Come this way, and I'll
show you,' responded the scout. The mo
, merit he got out of sight of the two pri
vates he quietly iuformed the officer that
he was a picket on the other side, and
would have to take him along ! And lie
actually marched the Captain in. sword,
pistols, shoulder-straps and all.
THE GOLD RING.
John Gaspard I.avater and the Poor
Widow.
It was a practice with Lavater (an emi
nent clergyman, born in Zurich, Switzer
land, 1(41), to read every morning one or
more chapters of the Bible, and to select
from them one particular passage for fre- j
queutand speoiolmeditation during the day. j
One morning after reading the filth and ,
sixth chapters of the Gospel of Matthew,
lie exclaimed, 4 What a treasure of morali- )
ty ! how difficult to make a choice ot any
particular part of it!' After a few mo
ments consideration, he threw himself upon
his knees, and prayed for divine guidance.
Y\ hen he joined his wife at dinner, she
asked him what passage of scripture he had
chosen for the day.
4 Give to him that asketh thee; and from ;
him that would borrow of thee, turn not
away, was the reply. 4 And how is this
to be understood ?' said his wife: 4 Give
to him that asketh thee, turn not away; {
these, rejoined the Lavater, 4 ara the worcls
of Lim to whom all and everything belong ■
that I possess. The proprietor desires me
to give to him who asks of me ; and not to
refuse him who would borrop of me; or,
in other words, ii I have two coats, I must
give one to him who has none, and if 1
have food, 1 must share with him who is
an hungered and in want; this 1 must do
without being asked; how much more, then,
wher. asked.'
4 This,' continued Lavater iu his diary.
I 4 appeared to me so evidently and inoontro
vcrtibly to be the meaning of' the. verses
j iu question, that 1 spoke with more than
j usu;l warmth ; my wife made no further
: reply than she would well consider these
• things.
4 1 had scarcely left the dining room a
j few minutes, when an aged widow desired
j to speak to me and she was shown into my
j study. 4 Forgive me, dear sir,' she said,
| 4 excuse the liberty L am about to take; I
1 am truly ashamed, but my rent, is due to
i morrow, and I am sliuit six dollars; I have
| been confined to my bed with sickness, and
> my pour girl nearly starving; every penny
I that 1 eould save 1 have laid aside tu meet
the demand, but six dollars are yet want
j ing, and tomorrow is term day.' Here
she opened a parcel, which she held iu her
hand and said : 4 'l his is a book with a
,silyer elusp, which my late husband gave
me the day we were married. It is all I
can spare of the lew articles 1 possess, and
sore it is to part with it. Jam aware that
it is not enough, nor do I see how 1 could
ever repay but. dear sir, if you can, do as
sist me.'
' I am very sorry, my good woman, that
I cannot help you,' J said; and putting my
hand into my pocket, [ accitlently felt my
| purse, which contained about two dollars;
i these f said to myself, cannot extricate her
difficulty, she requires six; besides, if even
j they could, I have need of this money for
| some other purpose. Turning to the wid
ow, I said: 'Have you 110 friend, no rela
tion, who could give you this t;ifle V
'No, there m no one! f am ashamed to go
from house to house. 1 would rather work
day and night. My excuse of being here
is, that people speak so much of your good
II ess. 11, however, you cannot assist me,
you will at least forgive my intrusion; and
' God, who has never yet forsaken me, will
not surely turn away from me in my six
tieth year!' .
At this moment the door of my apart
! ment opened and my wife entered. I was
! ashamed and vexed. Gladly would I have
j sent Iter away; for conscience whispered,
j 'Giv<? to him that asketh thee; and from
I him that asketh of thee, turn hot thou
I away.' .She came up to me and said, with
! much sweetness, ' This is a good old wo
man ; she has certainly been ill of late; as
sist her if yon can/
Shame and compassion struggled in my
darkened soul. • 1 have but two dollars,'
I said in a whisper, 'and she requires six;
I'll give her a trifle in her hand and let
her go.'
Laying her head on my arm and smil
ing, my wife said aloud, what conscience
had whispered before: 'Give to him that
asketh thee ; and from him that,would bor
row of thee, turn not. Thou away.'
I biushed, and replied, with sotue little
vexation : ' Would you give your ring for
the purpose ?'
' \Y ith pleasure,' answered my wife, pul
ling off her ring.
The good widow was either too simple
or too UKrtiost to notice what was goingop,
and was preparing to retire, when my wife'
called her to wait in the lobby. When we
were left alone, I asked lpy wife, ' Are
you in earnest about the ring?'
1 Certainly, how can you doubt it? ( she
said: 'do you think that T would'trifle
with charity ? lleniember what you said
to me lAit half a year ago. Oh my dear
friend, let us not make a show of the gos
pel ; -you are in general so kind, so sympa
thising, how is that you find it so difficult
to assist this poor woman ? why did you
not, without hesitation, give her what you
had in your pocket? and did you not know
that the quarter will be paid us in less than
eight days?' She then added with much
feeling: ' Take 110 thought fer your life,
what ye shall-eat, or what yo shall drink ;
nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
Behold the fowls of the air; they sow not.
neither do they reap nor gather into barns ;
yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.'
'I kissed mv wife, while tears ran down
my cbccka : } T-hanks, a thousand thanks,
for this humiliation!' I turned to the
desk, took from it six dollars, and opened
the door to call the poor widow—all darken
ed around me at the thought that I had
been so forgetful of the omniscience of God j
as to say to her, ' I cannot help you.' Oh
thou false tongue! Thou false heart! If thou,
Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, 011 Lord,
who shall stand ! ' Here is what you need/
I said addressing the widow.
'At first she seemed not to understand
what I meant, and thought I was offering a
small contribution, for which she thanked
me, and pressed my hand; but when she
perceived that I had given the whole sum,
she could scarcely find words, to express
her feelings. She cried: 'l)ear sir, I can
not repay; all I possess is this poor book,
and it is old.'
' Keep your book/ said I,' and the mon
ey too, and thank God, and not me, for
verily I deserve no thanks, after having so
long resisted your entreaties; go in peace,
and forgive an erring brother.'
'I returned to my wife with downcast
looks; but she smiled, and said : 'Ho not
take it so much to heart, my friend; you
yielded at my first suggestion; but promise
me that so long as I wear a gold ring on
my finger, and you know that 1 possess *v-
New Series—Vol. XVI, No. 22.
cral besides, you will never allow yourself
to say to any person, 4 I cannot help you '
She kissed me and ! left the apartment. ,
4 When I found myselfalone, I sat down
| and tyrote this account in my diary, in cn
dcr to humble my dcccited heart—this
heart which no longer-ago than yesipiday
dictated the words : 4 Of all the characters
in the world, there is none T would more
avoid than that of a hypocriteyet to
preach tle whole moral law and fulfil only
the easy part of it, is hypocrisy. Merciful
l ather, how long must I wait, and reflect/
and struggle, ere I shall be able to rely on
j the perfect sincerity of my profession.
4 I read over once more the chapter
which L had read in the morning with so
little benefit, and felt fin Ore andmotu
ashauieq, and convinced that there is no
peace, except where principle and practice
are m perfect accordance. How peaceful
j ! v and happy I might have ended this day
had 1 acted up conscientiously to the bless-.
