every thing pertaining to the river and

and o, hers, imi the matchless heatitv of
the natural scenery, so much as that cre
ation of poetic fancy in the song of "The

grand result. With all its apparent ficti
cious sent imen tali tv, there m much in the
song and legend of the wild, roving 1 mi inn
girl, that touches the heart, like the sweet
strains uf -utile half-forgotten melody of
our childhood,
j ihe " I Hue Juniata" always recalls for
us not only touching memories of the de
parted race of red men, but the voice and
! ieatuivs ot dear departed friends, who in
by-go:-! - day - sweetly sang lite " gay

lion
It appears from a comparison of,
Lee's with McCielhui's reports, that at
the begining of the'.Seven Davs', the
armies were closelv matched. MeClel
' lan had one hundred and three tbous i
and two hundred and twenty-four men.
according to his own account,and Lee
had one hundred thousand five liun

j'lears further, from Lee's report, that
■ in every single 1 at tie our men heat I lie j
enemy, though almost in ewrv ease a
' gn atcr rebel force was brought against
the part of ours which was permitted
to light; it i- shown that on tho sec
ond and third days, Richmond was i
open to Met'lellan. the tide of battle
having so rolled round that the" great
er part of Lee's army was so placed
as to leave the whole oi McGleliaiiL
forces between it and Richmond.
McCleilan had not more than a third
of his army engaged in any single hat
tie. except thai of Malvern: hut our!
gallant troops fought with heroic bra- 1
very; the Generals in command upon
the different lichls appear to have se
lected admirable positions, and as the .
att ;ck lay upon the enemy tie suffered
more severely than our troops, as will '
he seen by the following official ac
count of the 10-ses on both sides:— .
I nion killed 1-> S 2. wounded 77"5 ? to
tal Hf'JL Rebel killed 31.5], wounded '
L 5.25.5, total 1'd,405. That is to say '
the rebel losses were twice as great as !
ours in killed and wounded.
But after every success, MiCiellan
ordered a new retreat. He appears to
ha\e been totally ignorant ot the en- j
eitty's position, resources and strength; '
he had Richmond in hispoweron every
day ol the seven, and, on the last day
ii instead of retreating from Malvern
lliil he had attacked the enemy* he;
would not only have gained Richmond,
hut destroyed the rebel army. The ,
rebel general i rouble, jn an oflii hil |
report, thus described the condition of j
the C'oiitederale army in tlm morning
after the battle of Malvern Hill :
rim next morning, by dawn. 1 went
off to a-k lor orders, when j found the
whole army in the utmost disorder.
Thousands of straggling men w< v. ask
ing every pas*er ly frn* their regiment'--; j
ambulances, wagons and artillery oh
slructed every road, and altogether, in.i
a drenching rain, presented a scene of
the most woful and heart rending eon
1 tision."
The writer iu Harper's Micaziini,
| adds: ' j'
I -The very show of an attack upon 1
such an army, by the unbroken Union 1
force, must iiave defeated it. But there
was iu the mind of it- commander no '

of fho grim batteries and .serried lines ;

Union army'had fled from victory as
though it had been a rout."
The close comparison of the two of
ficial reports proves that 'he rank and

and steadiness; tljey (lid their share

all her unfailing love for them, as to
call her ohl woman instead of the lov

of the hov that ran away from home,

A Dream that Sent Two Men to the ifKhte
Prison.
If the annexed wore in a less relia
ble coteinporary than the Detroit Tri
bune we should scarcely reproduce it.
1 he following singular circumstance is
vouched for as being strictly true:
Some moutlis since a citizen of Hranch
county, in this State, employed two
men to remove his deceased wire's ie
inains, which they had intended to do,
and claimed as a recompense, one §3 00
and the other $1.50. The genlleniuu
was S;i well pleased with their execu
tion of the work, that he gave the lat
ter AJ.UO, which he refused, giving
him hack fifty cents.
The following night the gentleman
dreamed that one of the men visited
his room naked, his body being covered
with black spots, and on being asked
what ailed him, replied that the spofs
indicated the lies that lie had told him
in regard to disinterring his wife's
remains, which they had not done.
On awakening, his dream so i impress
ed him that lie was led t> ascertain
whether the men had actually done
what he |;ud paid them for doing, and
ascertained that they had not. On his
complaint, they were arrested rd sent
to Iho State prison for obtaining
money under false pretenses, and are
now serving out their lime at Jackson.
Itrh Wood. —l'} <0 Nt-li -wood tree of
the Fiji Islands and-New Caledonia,
though producing wood valuable for
building purposes, is better known for
its highly dangerous properties when
in a living state. It secretes a deadly
milky sap, a single drop of which,
should it happen to fall on the hands
and face, is said to produce a pain
equal to that caused by contact with a
red hot poker. The natives are well
acquainted with the dangerous prop,
