POETICAL
A Voice from the Army.
"Just befori the Battle, Motuif."
Just before election brothers,
Wo are thinking most of you.
While on picket, or in trenches,
"With the enemy in icw."
Bravely we have fought and sufferetl,
And with wounds and fevers died,
That tho bright, tri-colorud banner,
Still may fiout in starry pride.
Ciioitca-Llntcn, brothers, you may nevet
Hear from us in life again,
But oh! you'll not forget us brothers,
If we're numbered with the slain.
Every night in dreams we see you
In those lilotisunt Northern homes.
Where the peaceful dawn of morning
Brings no slurring roll of drums,
And it costs a pang of sorrow
That ungrateful men there be
Who would sell their countrys honor
And her nulJiers' liberty.
Cuoitcs-Tell them we can face the bullets
That their "Southern friends shall send
But, ohl we'll not forget them,
M'htu this "cruel ifur" ttall end.
All along the rebel earthworks
We have savage shoutings heard,
You will scarce believe it, brothers,
But "JA-CMW was tho word.
Think of tliM, ye northern voters,
Will ye make such demons gloat?
Ask our fill lea comrades' widows,
They will tell you how to vote.
Cltonus Soilless mothers, weeping sisters,
liaise cmploring lunula to you.
And, till! you'll forget them, brothers,
Aud dc'Slroy 1'hcir Country too.
Let the traitors keep their pity,
We are soldiers-, and can bear
All the hardships of the struggle,
Aud have courage yet to spare;
And we ask no wiser hclmstuau
At the ship of State than ho
Who 1ms paid, und clothed, aud fed us,
As the Armv of the Free.

i TALES AND SKETCHES.
'1'IIIv VI I-' 1 V2 A .11 1 : It .
' Sirs. Morton wits a widow, young, pretty,
rich widow when Dr. Charles Straliatn made
iier acquaintance. She was poor but very
handsome w hen Squire Morton married her.
und ut his death tw o years after, became sole
heir, put on her widow's weeds, and pocket
ed her husbiMui's gold at the same time.
Madame Humor said that poor old Mor
tou never enjoyed a single hour aftel he
uiti' ried her ; but how should Madame liu
in r know il Ut' one thing, however, 1 can
give tuy renders reliiibie iuforaiatiou. Mrs.
.Morton had not been a year ere she received
with pleasure, very decided attentions from
Dr. huiilium.
Do you inquire who Dr. Straham was?
Well he studied medicine, mid had the title
M. D. conferred upon him, which he touk
pleasure iu ultachir.g to his name with a
irrcut flourish, but it is asserted that he
never had a half dozen patients in as many
J years. lie was of prepossessing appearance,
I u ready talker on uny subject, und was, in
fact, hint rate company, lie played the flute
, anil suni! was a omul dancer and uu excel-
leut partner at whist ; besulo lie hail some
literary reputation.. He wrote poetry and
two column sketches for the Weekly Level
ler, and lust, though uot least, he dressed in
good taste and in the height of fashion ;
how he did it uo one knew, but it was uo
one's business.
But I must be allowed to correct one ru
mor which had gained considerable preva
lence, to the efl'eet that lie supported hinisel
by his literary labors, and ordinary scrib
bler could hardly alhird Strahnn's wardrobe.
Old Squire- Mortnn had been dead but
littl'i oxer year when Dr. Strahan, despite
ull that goss pi ers could say, married the
widow aud her tort unc. luu lact was Jie
waoted a rich wife as to her, she was anx
ious to leave her weeds .and go into society
nain, and she could uivine uo reamer way
to accomplish her purposes than by marry
ing. hen any one spoKe to tnu Doctor
about her being a shrew, he merely remark
ed he took pleasure in taming a shrew.
For three mouths they lived happily to
gether, for it was in the height of the sea
sou, and between Capo May, Sarutoga, and
the White Mountains, they were alone with
each oilier scarce three hours out of the
twenty-four 1 consequently U wus impossible
for them to disagree. But the scutum over
they returned to their quiet home the place
of ull others to stuiiy a who or a iiusuana.
There is no unnatural excitement, uo fash
ionable Mrs. A, to outdress, uo profligate
Mrs. 13. to outdo in squandering money ; uo
one to please but the "other half."
Alter a season oi loug coiuiuueu ga:eiy,
there necessarily follows oue of extreme
dullness, and when one is dull one is easily
displeased. Now Mr. and Mrs. Strahan
were ureat v tusnioasea.
It was their lirst tiay at nome upon wuicn
their lirst quarrel commenced. How it
commenced neither could clearly tell. It is
only knowu that Strahan expressed a desire
to dine upon roast beet, and 6he would have
roast turkev and oyster sauce. He'd have
beef or nothing. She'd have turkey, and
thus commenced the war of the Strahans.
One ordered the butler to have a fowl, aud
the other gave strict attention to havo beef,
while Mrs. o. vteiteil Iier menu auu pariooK
Jt turkey.
Alter supper Mr. S. gave a wmo supper in
the room which he dignilied by the name ol
study, a sort of variety store iu which lie
Kepi uis HDrary, writing uesa, ami spuouu.
Here also were two class cases, one ot tnem
contained a giant's skclleton hung on wires,
in the other was an Lgyptian mummy.
Tho' wall was hung with curiosities,
among them a cane from a treo which grew
over Washington's grave, a snuiT box fiom
the wood of the Churter Oak, a chip from
the United States frigate Constitution, min
erals, shells, and fossils of all kinds, speci
men ears ot corn, enormous siscd fruits and
vegetables, cases of insects and pickled rep
tiles. StuC'ed birds were perched about the
apartment, and volupttrbus French litho
graphs and portraits of distinguished per
sons were bung promiscuously on the walls
a long reading table, arm-chairs, a mam
moth boll metal pestal and mortar, comple
ted the lurniture ot tne study.
nurinn tha same evening Mrs. B. bad a
w-ViUt nartv in the uarlor.
wina held it votaries in bondage longer
than card. Mr. B. had dismissed her par

her , she would not henr, and he was com
pelled to find a bed elsewhere, which he
did, muttering to himself. "I'll tame her
yet."
lie laid all night forming n plan to bring
her to submission. In the morning he ask
ed her to walk into the study ; aud there
they renewed their tierce quarrel, during
which Mrs. S. called her husband a heartless,
brainless fellow, who niarrietl her for her
money. To which the Doctor replied, by
calling her a low, vulgar woman, )o was
only too giad to marry a professional gentle
mau and author, to enable her to euter
society. After which she' toyed with her
fan, and Bnaily pulled the bell-cord and
ordered her servant w'ao answered it, to
bring her carriage to the door.
"Where ure you going ?" asked tho Doc
tor. "To ride sir," replied the amiable Mrs.
Strahan.
"I'll go with you if you please."
"Hut I do not plettse."
"Then I choose to go."
"Very well, then you go alone. I cannot
go with you."
"You cannot go unless I accompany y a,
madam."
"Cannot I"
"Cannot, madam."
"We'll see."
"Well, we will see."
. Tbt Doctor walked out of the room, lock
ed the door put the key iu his pocket, and
left the house.
She did not set down and burst into a
flood of tears, but waited patiently for the
servant to return whom she had scut for
tho carriage. When he returned she told
him through tho keyhole, to return the
horses to l lie stable, and place a ladder
against the study wiutlow. The ladder was
placed according lo directions, and a turkey
with oysters und pastry were brunt; lit up to
her. The ladder was then removed, and
everything was prepared for the leappeur
ance of her husband. Near the middle of
the afternoon the doctor returned home,
stepped softly through the hall towards the
door, peeped through the the keyhole, ex
pecting of seeing a striking picture of hu
mility and contrition.
Judge of his surprise, then, when he saw
Mrs. S. silting before his long rending table
on her riirht hand his bell-metal mortar, in
which she was roasting his mammoth speci
men upplcs, sweet potatoes, and her turkey.
Near her, stood his water bath in which she
was cooking oysters, und she occasionally
stirred tlieiii with his spatula ; on the table
stood one of the bottles of wine which had
been left from the previous night's revelry,
which tin: lady for the want of a champagne
opener, had deprived of its neck with a
wedgewood pestle, and using a four ounce
graduate for a winc-ghiss ; she hud cut up
champagne baskets for firewood with an In
dian tomahawk. On the left band stood
the doctor's writing-desk, which she had
broken open, and scattering on the desk,
were under missive of his early love flames,
manuscript pages of tales and sketches, un
published titles, and unpaid tailor's bills,
w hile the lady sat rending first a sweet love
letter, then an ode to Napoleon, nnd so on,
throw ing them page after page into the lire.
Thin the husband's bruin work, and wood
enriosties were made to cook the dinner.
The doctor looked silently on ns long as
he could ; then taking the key from his
pocket, he unlocked the door and it was
bolted on the inside.
"Mrs. S.," he shouted.
"Well, sir f"
"Open the door."
"I am very busy just now, and can't be
disturbed."
"Open this door, immediately."
"1 am busy, I tell you."
"1 11 bnrst'tlie door in, if you do not in
stantly open it."
"Dn ns you plutse, sir; but your mummy
and giant's skeleton are placed against the
door, so be catettil anil not break them."
The doctor was foiled, for a few moments
he stooil and thought what course it was
best to puisne,
Suddenly recollecting the
ladder he hastened through tho hall out of
doors, leaving the door unlocked and the
key in it. His footsteps hud scarcely died
aw ay on the stairs, before his wife had re
moved both cases from tho door, drew the
bolt and stood, in theentry. It was but the
work of a moment to .hrow the remaining
letters, poems and manuscripts into the tire,
rennjve the wine and eatables, lock the door
upon the outoide, uud put the key iu her
pocket.
Meanwhile tho doctor was raising the
ladder to the window, nnd by the limo ho
had got it placed and ascended half its
length, his w ife and a favorito man servant
were watching him from a lower window.
The doctor pushed up tho window and
jumped in ; hu servant jumped out of the
lower window and pulled down the ladder.
The doctor saw that the bird had flown, nnd
he rushed back to the window just us tho
ladder reached the ground.
"Put that ladder back again," shouted
the doctor.
"Let it be where it is," shouted tho wife
from the lower window.
"Put it up instantly or I'll discharge you,"
bellowed the upper one.
"Come into the house, John," said the
lady coolly.
"Put up that ladder, you villain," persist
ed the wrathy M. V.
John, do as 1 order you," complacently
demanded Mrs. 8.
And John went Into the house, leaving
medical trcutlcman heapinil curses upou
everybody iu the vicinity, including his wife
and all the servants.
All ninht the doctor was kept a prisoner.
Just before his wife retired she put her lips
to the keyhole, and whispered,
"Doctor, wuut is your success iu taiumg a

No answer,
"Good night, doctor."
The uext morniug sho came to the door,

"Would you like some breakfast 1"
"I am not particular."
"There is cold turkey left, if you would

The doctor deigned no reply, and the lady
again left him alone.
During the afternoon, ah again calicd

"Doctor."
"Well, dear 1" very bumble.

We recently announced that Major Gene

Corps in the Army of the Potomac, had ar
rived iu this city, suffering from disease con
tracted while in service before Petersburg.
Wc have now to state the mcloneholy fact that
he died lust evening, ut his residenco on
Kace street. Ho was about forty-five years
of age, and had been in tho service ever
since the opening of the war. lie com
manded the 2;ld Pennsylvania Volunteers,
and from that position he was called to the
wielding of a brigade. In May last ho was
elected to command the lid Division of
Hancock's (.the 2d) Corps. On the 'Z'id of
July he wus chosen by General Gruut to lead
the 10th Corps, having brilliantly distin
guished himself during the whole of Gen
eral Graut's splendid campaign from the
llapidan to the south side of tho James
ritfer. His career is now cut short before
the grand object of that campaign is attain
ed, but his record is a noble one, in which
every Philadclphittu takes honorable pride.
General Hiruey was born in Alabama.
His father, James B. Uirney, was a planter
in that State, who manumitted his slaves
aud came to the North, ami afterwards was
the abolition candidate for the Presidency.
General Birney was engaged in the mercan
tile pursuits ia this city up to the opening
of tho war, and only relinquished active
civic business at the stern call of patriotism.
His memory will be forever honored iu con
nection with the rest of the noble host who
have laid down their lives for freedom and

present Clerk of the House of Bepresentatives
of Georgia, has arrived in Nashville, having
been compelled to leave the south in con
sequence ot tho publication of an article ad
vocating tho restoratiou of tho Union.
Jeff Davis, he says, is the greatest tyrant
living; and wherever his power extends
there is neither freedom of speech nor free
dom of person; and before a return to tho
Union is possible, the rebel army must be
disappeared. Ho regard Hood' force no
longer formidable, in u militiiry point of
view; it is small in numbers, uud is greatly
demoralized; bat it is yet sullieiently strong
to intimidate unarmed people, especially us
tho male proportion of these people consists
of only decrepit! old men, or youug boys,
every oDe capable of bearing arms having
been seut to the army by tiie conscripting
ollicers. Break tho urmy ot Lee, he thinks
aud that of Hood will disperse, and there
are no others worthy to be called a military
organization east of the Missippi river.
Mr. Camp states ttiat tue rebel leaders say
that if McClellan is beaten they have no
hope; that there is not sulhctent vitality in
the confederacy to keep it alive. They,
therefore, will look to eventual submission
iu caso of the reelection of Mr. Lincoln; aud
sinco the full of Atluuta they regard that as
certain; and they are, therefore, very anxious
about the terms on which they would be al
lowed to resume their citizenship.

Montgomery Blasr, Into Postmaster Gen.
made the following important revelations iu
a speech at Ellicou's Mills, Maryland, lust
Saturday:
Why did the President relieve Gen. Mc
Clellan? I know the impressions under
which ho ncted intimately. The President
was friendly to McClellun. I was friend ly
to him, while those of more consideration
in army concerns were hostile to him. The
Wur Committee at Washington, and the
military authorities, consultetl at every step
ofits proceedings, were inimical to his re
tention of command.
Tlvy held that liis delay, with a much
superior army, to attack tho enemy that re
maiiied at Bull Kun after tho defeat there of
a portion of our forces, from the midst of
summer to the succeeding spring, when the
enemy thought fit to retire to a stronger
position: that the delay to attack the small
force at Yorktown, when the war was to bo
transferred to Richmond ; that tho delays
and mistakes there, iu keeping our army
in tho swamps of tho Chickahmniiny until
tho enemy found opportunity to at'.ack and
defeat it, was proof that tho command
should pass into other hands. Tho Presi
dent, though shaken, resisted the impor
tunities then made to supplant the General.
Tho battle of Atitietam restored his con
fidence, though painfully disappointed in
the failuro to complets the defeat of the
enemy by sending lurward his reserve, when
Burnside repeatedly urged it after carrying
the bridge over the Antietam, seeing the
enemy in light, and requiring only the aid
of repressed forward to cover his retreat.
The uelay, tlicu, it was contended, gave tho
enemy the night, and the succeeding day
and night, to cross the Potomac. " This fatal
delay, and the refusal of McClellan to pres
a pursuit on Lee's demoralized army imme
diately after when the fords of the Potomac
gave him opportunity to do so, or to head
his from his base nearer liichmond, by tak
ing the shorter line and cutting him off by
interposing in front, were again made the
grounds of a demand for his removul.
The President adhered to htm went to
him in his headquarters at Antietam-urged
htm t move to anticipate Lee and comfort
him, if not in the valley bet-vrcn the moun
tains, to interpose Lctweeu him und tho
Kappa'.. on nock below them. This was tho
peremptory of the President, apparent on
the face of the well-reasoned lAler he ad
dressed to his general. He failed to meet
the demands made on him by the man who
took all tho responsibility who tried at
first persuasion, and ut last exaction, and
felt that there was nothing left but to carry
out his resolution, which a sense of duty
had compelled him to adopt. Here arc the
simple lacts, aud they explain the Presi
dent's motives.
Z-U" Wo take the following significant
sentences from Thompson's Bank Reporter :
"To our view, peace is near at hand. If
Lincoln is re-elected, the South will give up,
and the Union will be rc-establislied with
out re-establishing Slavery. If McClellan is
elected, the Union will be re-established
with Slavery, as beloro the rebellion. With
McCklluii, the Southern debt iscill be tngruj't-
ml on the dibt of the country.
'Slavery ended, or Slavery perpetuated.
is the great point in the election. The se
cond great point is tho Confederate debt.

AGRICULTURAL.
Stouing Cklkrv. We have said a grent
deal latterly about the cultivation of celery ;
and now, as the crop must bo prettey well
grown, we shall proceed as usual at this
season, to give some reliable directions for
preserving it through the winter.
Many people complain of their celery
one of "tho most dillicult gardcu crops to
raise in perfection that it does not keep
well through the water sometimes it with
ers, but oftener rots. It is recommended by
some that it should bo preserved iu the
rows where it grows, and that removal al
ways more or less injures it. Where the plant
is grow n in soil of a dry nature und a cele
ry never should be grown there it may be
kept well in tho row ; but we deny most
emphatically that removal injures it iu the
slightest particular.
Wo pursue two modes and find both to i
answer completely. The first is to reuiovo
the celery to high and dry ground, dig a
trench spade deep, stand up a row of plants
then three inches of soil, tl en another row,
and so oil until about hulf a dozen rows are
finished, then commence another bed, and
so on. The soil should be packed in firmly
and banked up so that the tops ol the celery
are just covered, then spank off roof fashion
to turn tho raiu. Over this two wide boards,
nailed together should be placed,as a secu
rity against moisture, for remember, it is
water, not irost, as some any, mat lots cele
ry. I''rost adds to its tenderness.
Another plan is to sink barrels into tue
earth, so that the tops are two or thro iuchc
below the surlace, stand them compactly
fully of celery, put close or tight covers upuu
them, and then u couple of inches of soil.
By this mode, somewhat moro troublesome
than the other, ours kept well for tho last
two or three years until all we cou&umed,
which was late in spring.
The loregoingw ill auswer several inqui
rers ou tho subject, who have addressed us
