A Western correspondent of Harper's Magazine gets off the following excellent joke : "I was traveling in Virginia by stage and : spending the night at a country tavern, was , greatlv entertained by the talk of stage drivers and others sitting by the bar-room One old codger worked rhen I was down to the fair a good many years ago, said the old fel- ynu may take your slate and ga out, aud . motion, and no mistake, meet here." paid the admission fee, and went in. low, 'there was a prize offered to tho one j who would come the nearest to making a ! perpetual motion.

"This is a Printer's Bill .'" And as he held it up to the gaze of the people, ' they admitted that, whether the bill was j paid or not, they had been sold." -$ COMPLETION OF THE RAILROAD THE FIRST TRAIN. The first through train from Kingston reached this point on Saturday afternoon, and its arrival was the cause of much re joicing among the troops, some of whom have been on short rations for several days. As the locomotive echoed through the encampment, the martial streets of these tented cities rang with shouts o exultation from the throats of thousands of soldiers who delight to hear the sound of locomotive bell, and its whistle, for it brings proof that communication is stil open with God s country, and while tha is maintained they feel assured they wil not starve. AND Hud looked at it a few momeuts, aud, though he never dreamed he was to be come a distinguished poet, his thoughts began to come to him in a simple ryhuie, and he wrote ihem down thus: Mr. Finney had a turnip, And it grew behind the barn; Aud it grew, aud it grew, 4 ' 5ut it never did any harm. And It grew, and it grew, J Till it could grow no taller; ' ' t Then Mr. Finney pulled it.up. And put it in the cellar. And it lay, and it lay, Till it thcro began to rot, And 'his daughter Susy washed it, And she put it iu the pot. And it boiled, and it boiled, As long as it was able; $hen his daughter Lizzie took it up, And put it ou the table. Mr. Tinney and his wife, They both sat down to sup; And they eat, and they eat, Till they eat the turnip up. The boy brought iu his composition, and when the master came to read it, and saw the evidence of talent in the boy, it is said he couid not refrain from tears. Now then, boys and girls, don't get frightened at the thought of a composi tion; but find something that interests you, and write down what you think a boufc it, and that will be a composition. You need not try to write in rhyme, un less you have talent for it; for poor verses are a great deal poorer tbanpoor prose. 'Mhe Well Spring,. Irish Economy, 1 At a late Assize iu Ireland, two men were coudemned to be hanged. On re ceiving their sentence one of them ad dressed the Judge, and said he had two favors to ask him. "What are they?" said his lordship. "Plase your honor," said Pat, "will you let me haug this man before I am hanged myself?" "What is the other request?" said the J udgc. "Why please your honor," coutinued Pat, "Will you let my wife hang me, for she will do it more tinderly than the hangman and theu what she will receive for the job will help.the poor cratur to pay her rent." Here is a little war story from the Far West : A Lieutenant of the Tenth United NORTHERN GEORGIA DEPOPULATED BARREN. The section of country through which our army has marched is exceedingly bare through "war s rude desolation. - The wheat of corn fields, which but a few days ago flourished under the eye of the thrifty farmer, who watched the growth of his choice fruit trees as they blossomed in his valuable orchard over which he had spent so much time, are all swept a MM V . way m a lew nours witn ruthless vio lence. The tramp of legions of armed men, and the gallopping of squadrons of cavalry, followed by the dull heavy rum bling of scowling artillery, and the rat tling of ordnance- and supply trains, ex tending over hill top and valley for miles, further than the eye can reach, are the caravans that have blotted out the fields of promise and subsistence, the Rebels having stripped the country of horses, cattle, and whatever else might be of use to our army. The country is also thoroughly depop ulated, nearly all the inhabitants fleeing in terror at the news of our approach to ward Atlanta, which city is crowded with refugees, deluded into the belief that the 'Yanks" were a tribe of lawless savages respecting neither age nor sex. THE FAULTS OF REBELLION RUIN AND STARVATION. The passage of an invading army through the enemy's country is very apt to leave behind its track melancholy tra- ces or oroau tinea acres, anu in tneir stead wc behold a perfect labyrinth of ar my roads diverging in all directions. I he cool spring which ran its crystal waters at the flSot of yonder hill is now a muddy stream, around which hundreds of exhausted, thirsty soldiers flock in ea ger crowds to fill their empty canteens with (to them; the retreshmg beverage. The stench of slaughtered cattle, dead horses, and mules, putrefying in the sun's fierce rays, scent the garden from which, but a few hours before, "gentle breezes, fanning their odiferous wings, dispensed native perfumes and whispered whence they stole those balmy spoils." The faithful house dog, coaxed, kicked and cuffed from his master, is obtained to some army wagon, and made a most un willing prisoner. The little kittens that sported playfully upon the rug before the hearthstone now sit terrified upon some soldier's knapsack, reviewing their dis conteur. The pet family horse, trotted out from his comfortable stable into the midst of unruly, half-famished array hor ses, now forced to seek companionship with attenuated mules, subject to half ra tions and hard work. The floclcof fright-1 eued sheep, driven with the cracking j whip into the road, bleating piteously, asj though half conscious oi the late that a waited them. The loud bellowing of cattle, as they too are driven into the martial van, pre paratory to their incarceration in the com missary corral. The hideous squealing of swine, running in all directions, pur sued by hungry soldiers, hurling stones, rails, or whatever missile comes bandy af ter his roval porkshin. I believe there outrages with an absent tendency. These scenes are of the serio.comic order, but when we behold the sacking of a house, how sad a picture is revealed. Let me tell your readers what I saw on Sundav. YANKEE CURIOSITY BIG SHATNY SCENES. At Big Shanty, on the Atlantic line of railroad, stands quite a respectable-looking two-storied woodeu hotel, which iu peace times was used as the dinner sta tion for the famished passengers travel ing from Chattanooga, Teun., to Atlanta, Ga. SHELLS FROM NORTIIREN MUDSILLS IN SOUTHERN HOTELS. On Friday, while some of our cavalry were out on a recounoisanc, shelling the woods, one of our shells passed through a part of the hotel, entering a large sleep ing apartment containing some eight or ten bedsteads, and passing through the bedstead out of the south side of the room, the shell burst in the yard. At this time several Rebel officers were partaking lei surely of a sumptuous dinner, and, with out waiting for orders they changed their base, retiring in the wildest confusion. Several ladies were in the hotel at the time this unruly "Yankee" messenger en tered, and one ot them was in the room through which the shell whizzed on its deadly errand, but fortunately the fuse was long enough to prevent its explosion for several seconds, thereby saving the terrified woman s life. Upon the arrival of our advance at Big Shanty, this hotel which was quite well furnished for this section of the country The owners haviug aban doned the property the guard was reliev ed, and in less than half an hour the rooms were filled, yes, the hotel was fairly be- siegeu with soldiers representing every arm of the service, with a sprinkling of nesrro servants, the rough crowd all in- tent upon getting "something good to cat," while another portion were bent up on mischief. In company with Harper s Special Artist, I stepped inside to get a' view of the premises and to watch the proceedings. Such scenes as were there enacted, and such terrible realization of Pandemonium, neither Mr .Davis's facile pencil, or this feeble pen, can halt por- ray Up stairs, down stairs, inside, out side, kitchen, dining-room, parlor, and bedroom, all shared the general tumult, and not a cobwcbbeJ nook escaped over hauling from these inquisitive "mudsills In the parlor was a fine piano, drum med and played upon alternately, with a boisterous crowd ot soldiers leaning upon it, each one shouting for some particular .

JNTo ! Twen.ty-fi'vo per cent ? No ! but exactly two per cent. that is, the whole amount of specie val ue of the property ; and if at any one time,, the whole property of the country had been forced to sale for the specie in the . a . country, it would not have brought two ceuts on the dollar of its actual specie value. . , Specie or the currency that may stand for it, is only the convenient and recog nized medium for making an exchange of products. It represents property in tho" market, property in transit, but never tho fixed property of a nation. Money is the' lubricator. It don't make values ; it sim ply lubricates machinery, and keeps the wheels of commerce running smoothly. When too abundant, the wheels run too fast ; aud when scarce, there is too much' friction. And now, Mr. Faintheart, can you piclc a flaw in our statement ? Is it not abso lute truth ? But wliat shall we say to' Mr. Weakknees, who is afraid of bank ruptcy, and Mr. Ncverthink, who is only afraid of his baukbalance. If Mr. Weak knees is in debt, it is now easy to get out.

Jljverything was speedily prepared to welcome with all "the honors of war" the chivalry, should they decide to call upon us. In an hour or two the usual quiet ness that had pervaded our lines was. re stored, and with" deep imprecatious, and the loudest of "Yankee" anathemas upon the heads of Rebels in general, and Joe Johnston in particular, the "flys" were a gain filled with drowsy officers. FEAR OF SICKNESS AMONG OUR SOLDIERS. I Surgeons predict an unusual amount of sickness among our troops if a heated term follows this remarkable long spell of cold aud rainy weather. Many of our brave men have nothing to protect them from the inclement weather but a rubber and woolen blanket, which during such storms as we have experienced since the 1st of June, afford little or no protection. Can our nation ever repay tho debt of gratitude due these gallant heroes who manfully face death and court danger to save our nation's liberties 1 How cheer fully they submit to these privations. Innumerable pains and hardships endur ed, but not one complaint; no regrets, but a firm determination to conquer or die. If you would behold the quintes sence of heroism, witness the conduct of our privates on an arduous campaign, like those now in progress in Virginia and Georgia. Well may we say, "They've mustered in their simple dress For wrongs to seek a stern redress, To right those wrongs, come weal or woe, To perish or o'ercome the foe." ing an old clock to strike. Look in to the entry with mc, and see the scrambling of fifty soldiers over a barrel or flour and a barrel of sugar and molasses, while featlr- crbeds are torn to pieces. One mischiev ous fellow has found the dinner-bell, and yells out "Fifteen minutes for dinner." Another has diseovereu a string or cow bells, aud at once strives to drown the m- larmonious sounds ot his rivals. With the drumming of the piano, the striking clock, tho blowing of horns, the rattling of the dishes, the ringing ot cow and dinner-bells, the clatter' of a sewing machine, and the wrangling of soldiers o- ver the spoils, the ear was appalled and deafened, furniture, bedding, cooking u tensils, books, pictures, chsna-ware, la dies' wearing apparel, hoop-skirts and bon netts, were thrown together in promiscu ous heaps with all sorts of dirty rubbish. For a better description the reader is re ferred to Mr. Theodore Davis's excellent sketch, which will shortly appear in Har Business Rules. An Eastern paper gives the following seasonable and excellent rules for young men commencing business, aud others to continue to practice: The world estimates men by their suc cess in life, and, by general consent, suc cess is evidence of superiority. JNeveT under any circumstances assume a responsibility you can avoid consistent- j resumption ly with yourself and others. Base all your aetions upon a principle of right; preserve your integrity of char acter, and in doing this never reckon on the cost. bring you only S10.000. and vou will have lost exactly 88,000.

Invest in Gov- other circumstances combiued; therefore, look well to your duty when your inter est is concerued. Never malce money at the expense of your reputation. Let your pocket expenses be such as to leave a balance in your pocket. Ready money in a friend in need. Keep clear of the law: for, even it you gain your case, you are geuerally a loser. Avoid borrowing and lending. Winer drinking and smoking cigars are bad .habits; they impair tlie mind and pocket, and: lead to waste of time. Never relate your misfortunes, and ne ver grieve over spilt milk. Two rebuff at Fort Kearney.

You're a queer chicken, as the of swine in the army.

These- women word' charged with keeping" a disreputable house, and a preconcerted arrangement was made by a number of men and women of the town, to enter their house by force, on the night abovo designated, and tar and feather the ob- cctionable women. Ihe scheme was carried out to the letter, and the mob was characterized by tho grossest violence and brutality. The men and women who' participated in this disgraceful outrage were' general ly disguised, but most of them were re cognized by the women assaulted, and suit was subsequently entered against thirty or more of them, by Emma C.
