POETIC A L SHERIDAN'S BIDE. l"p from the South at break of tlay, Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay. The affrighted air with a shudder bore, Like a herald iu baste to the chieftain's door, The terrible grumblo and rumble and roar, Telling the battle was on once more, And Slieridun twenty miles away. And wider still those billows of war Thundered along the horizon's bar, And louder yet in Winchester rolled The rottr of that red sea uncontrolled, Making the blood or the listener cold As he thought of the stake in that fiery fray, Aud Sheridun twenty miles away. But there is a rond from Winchester town, A good, broad highway leading down; Aud there, through the Hush of the morn ing light, A steed, us black as the steeds of night, Was t-eon to puss as with CHgle flight As if he knew the terrible need lie stretched away with his utmost speed; Hill rose nnd fell but his heart was guy, With Slui'iiluit til tec n miles away. Still sprung from those swift hoofs, thun dering south.

TALES AND SKETCH ES. irralive of n I'lilon faoldicr. (Special Correspondence of The Press.) City Point, Va., Nov. 0, 1804. In the absence of news in reference to the military situation, I know of nothing better to communicate than the unpleasant cxperianceof Mr. Albert Stuck, the leader ol the band in the 5th Michigan Cavalry, who was taken prisoner by the enemy about ths 10th of last May. Mr. Stuck was engaged at the time in assi.-tiug the woumled, a duty which is assigned to the musicians in anil after every engagement. He was captured at the residence of Miss French, between Spottsylvauia Court House and Fredericksburg, bv that class of persons . ...,.,, ,i,o ,,c union.' the en. mv w ho assume Ihc garb ot peace and are ostensibly uon-combataets tiutnaly belong to that infamous gang known us bushwhackers. These land pi rates arrested him us a spy, and with a fa miliarity which manifested their knowledge of highway robbery, they plundered him of all his money, jewelry, and even his boots, which, being ton small for them, they car riek them away in their hands. This set of marauders having taken what they consider ed their share of his property, he was hur ried oil' a distance of ten miles to what is pronounced tho Gold Mill run. He was there passed over to the safe keeping of other rohliers, who ordered him to strip himself of his clothing, which lie refused to do until a revolver, in a very threatening attitude, was placed in verv close contact with his face, which act was accompanied with lant'uai'u which changed Mr. Stuck' mind. Among other things, one of tl.eni asserted that he had killed seventeen Yan kees after they were taken prisoners, and he be d d if ho would not shoot a dozen more for as good a suit of clothes as he had on. The brother of this gloating murderer, who soctned to possess a similar spirit, suggested that ho had better take him from thu road to shoot him, which suggestion was com plied with. Seeing that the denial of their demands would likely cost him his life, he divested himself of all his clothing except ing his shirt, before the revolver was turned from his head. When this Union prisoner complained, he was iufnrmed that he had gotten off very well, as they had left him a shirt, but wheu they turned him over to the next "guards" they would likely take that article from him. As he presented rather an immodest appearance, one of them, who bad appropriated his overcoat, cut the cape off and gave it to him. The shirt he still wears, as he was never favored with a change while in the Confederacy. He was deprived of soap and confined under such cireitmstarwi fts prevented" his obtaining water to eleaese It. Mr. Stuck was taken to Orango Court House, where ho was tried as a spy, but as he was able to prove that ho was captured in our lines, tho charge was not substantt ,.t...l Mm uaa then uluced iu tho Lvnch- bur" prison among our wounded soiuiers, . - 1 1 . . . , . . CSCHpe flye different I : W i! ttira retaken, lie had i .i Uu.u.Uia 1,-uiu rl. rebel Rfiity, aa well HI suspicious looking individuals. About the time that General Hunter threatened Lynch burg, he, with others, was removed to the pen in Andersonville. Ga. He was auite ill during his stay there, which was until Gene ral Sherman captured Atlanta, when the Union sufferers in that "dead 'pen" were distributed in Augusta, Charleston, Savan nah, and Columbia. Before Mr. Stuck reach ed Charleston, his place of destination, he again aitempteil to make Ids escape, but was so weak that he stopped at Graham's Station, Ga., and, ou going to a family by that name, he told tliem his story, when they gave him sotnethini; to eat, a place to sleep, nnd sent him to Charleston under guard. He became very sick trora eating fruit, and when he arrived in Charleston he was placed iu the hospital with the sick and wounded prisoners ; but, believing that !t would certainly die if he remained there, ho again made his escape. He secured a fishing hue with which iie caught subsistence; and grow ing more bold, and the dirty Confede rate clothes favoring that purpose, he ven tured out into the city and disposed of his fish, with the proceeds of which he pur chased such things as he wanted to eat. He made lus quarters in tbe deserted buildings which were exposetl to the shelling from our batteries, in which he was safe from ob servation. On the night of the fourth day iu this situation it was quite dark and rain ing hard, which suggested to him tliHt it was a favorable opportunity to escape to to our fleet. Going to the waterside, he confiscated a boat, which had the misfor tune to have but one oar. He took a pick et from a fence near by, shoved off his bout, struck for a light which he supposed to be one ot out gunboats, but w inch proved to be ou Fort Summer. As the tide wan ting out he easily passed Castle Pickney and Sumpter, but having started toolale, the tide turned before he reached our fleet, though it was visible through the occasion al flashes of lightening ; tbe batteries which were shelling Charleston were only a mile distant when his picket oar broke, and he was seen by the light i f their firing. The misfortune of the tide and the breaking of his oar sealed his fate, uud being entirely unacquaiuted with managing a boat m a heavy sea, he gave tip in tlispair, w hich was the more painlul, as hope had but a few moments previous given place to on exult ing confidence. His boat floated ashore on James Island, and having had nothing to eat since the morning before, he imprudently ate too many oysters, w hich sickened him. About ten o'clock A. M. he was picked up by a patrol, and having tin every other oc casion told the truth w hen he was recap tured, be thought he would try what virtue there would be in varying Lis story a little, as he was confident that if obliged to sub mit to inhuman treatment according to I'nioii captives in Southern prisons, he would be unable to survive it any longer. He told the provost marshal ou .lames Is land that he was from Virginia; that his name was John French : that he was an ex- j ... 1. 1 ... . e. . .1. .. 1. ,mt hsiin" the dav before uml W119 islled nn the Isla einpi, as lie vtus sunjeei l.i uis; uiai no "cm , broke his our ....i 1 1.. .............. u.,,,, nils nauvu ..a mi- iiiitiiu. .ill.'.iiii' WI nWI.I.V 'I 1113 Dili LH-.Mi 3 V- llil" Ill, bv saving that it, with some other papers. ., -.'. i..i,i i,e..vi,ow tl.ut tb. v ii,i giuie to pieces. The provost did not credit the story, and told Mr. Stucke that he be lieved that he was a Yankee prisoner endea voring to make his escape; but, however, he forwarded him to Captain Gear, :rovoJ. marshal of Charleston, who sympathized with him, and believed l is account of him self, and kindly remarked that he would send him to the surgeon to be examined, who would furnish him with another certifi cate, when he would give l.iui a pass that would save him from all future trouble, and enable him to uo wheiever he pleased. The ; aurgeon, w ho seemed to understand his case pertectly, said he isjfv uo evidence that lie had ever been attacked with fits, but what seemed to be the matter with him was the irregularity of his diet, eating too much at one time aud not again for a day or two. The surgeon then exhorted him to do his duty like a man, shoulder his musket, and like a true son of Virgiuia, tight valiantly for the cause of the Confederate States, as there was metal enough in the supposed Mr. French to make a good soldier. He was soon marched oil' under the escort of guards us a conscript, to the' cars, and lauded in Columbia, South Carolina. This took place .ay, auu tie was wm oUl i to eat until hriday night, which gives an unfavorable opiuion ot the enemy s commis sariat. He then was furnished with five hurd crackers aud a piece of "bacon, which sickeued him in his weak condition. He was cutiued in prison with rebel conscripts and deserters, ou one side ol a largo hull, and on the other were Union ollicers, pri - Boners ot war. In the room directly oppo site to thu supposed Mr. French were. several officers, w ho were members of Gen. Terry's st a If, whose dress had materially changed since they had been in rebeldotn. They were dressed partly in citizen, Union, and Confederate clothing.

He was soon sent to that regiment, which was stationed in front of Petersburg, where he arrived on Thursday, was excused from duty ou account of ill "health on Friday, w as put on wood duty on Saturday, and on Sun day an old gun was given to him to rleun up, with orders that he woa to go on picket duty that night with two other members of his company.

The Liverpool (England) Mercury con tains a letter from Mr. .1. 1'. Ashtou, agent of the contractors for the iron work of the bride crossing the Mersey, at Iluncorn, Lan cashire, giving the account of the discovery of a human body in a most excellent state of preservation, which must have lain in the rest of death for 1.500 years. We add the account as given by Mr. Ashton ; The discovery was- made in the following manner; On the 27tit of August, while sinking one of our caissons, an obstacle was met with wliieh defied the pressure ex crcisd by our sinking npparatus. Divers were sent down, who. on removing a quan tity of sand from about the base of the cais son, reported the obstacle to be a large log of wood. By the help of a strong crane, and after removing tho pressure from the caisson, we were enabled to draw it up to the staging, and found it not to be a log of wood, as the divers, misled by its general attritled state, had reported, but a large I coflin shaped liox of great strength, mea suring ntiout eight leet by tli roe tret, lliei wood had become impregnated with oxide j oi iron, iroui tne red sandstone, wuicn nau made it as hard as iron itself, so that it was with the greatest dijliculty that we were enabled to prize open the lid. The inside, which was roughly hewn to the shape of a human body, with a large additional space at the head, was lined wita a gleyish, bitu minous substance, and contained the body (if a mnn in n most wonderful state of pre servation. It is nttired in the dress, of a wealthy no man citizen, the tunic and toga both white, embroidered with purple and gold threads., the toirs fastened with a handsome gilt libu i la. The straps of the buckskins are studded with golden bosses. Attached to a girdle j are a tablet and a golden hilted stylus. I The t-mt twtmMr, in fact, while not glaring, ! is rich and tasteful. The body, though iu civil dress, appears to be that of a leginory I officer, as a large military cloak is swarthed round it, mid by Us sides are a short (the famous Komau ''gradium'') with its belt, a javelin and a vinea, such as centurians used to discipline among the men. A fine onyx signet ring, bearing the letters S. 1'. Q,. ft., aud a figure of a wolf, -is on the finger. This I conjecture to be a gvmhol of authority delegated by the Bo- ",;ln Jennie, or tne men reigning emperor, : to t ie ticurer. i he swum ami I'cit also , .... . . .... . i . . l"c vlnef ls "pcu into a rtiue rt tuoianee 1 to a Kumar, enele. 'I he body has been em- balmed 1:1 soskiit'll a manner as to preserve, ; even after this lap.se of time, the features to i tally distinct, but is excessively fragile, I crumbling at a touch : in fact, it has only , been preserved from total destruction by a i mantle, and by a quantity of a cryptgatnic ; plant allied to a Common equisetuui, which j is packed around it, keeping it steady and j immoveable in the coffin. I forbear giving :i more detailed account, and will proceed I i mention briefly the contents of the space above the head ol the comse. A niiaimtv of the equisetuui like herb sustains uninjured 1 an ampiiora ol course earthen ware, with a yellow vitrerous glaze. The handles and neck arc broken off, and inside it is placed also with packing a beautifully executed cenerary urn of red Sa mian ware, containing ashes, aud a small roll of vellum covered with characters which I am unable t decipher, but I believe to be ! Saxon. Sprinkled through the scroll 1 how ever find the Ho in an name "Q. Sulpicins, Piso," the initials. "8. P. tj. H," the words "legatus," "crematto," "manes," "lares," and a few others. This scroll I therefore im agine to hold tho key to the enigma pre sented by the many anopalous appearances I have described and am about to describe. In the amphora, beuenth the urn, are a num ber of ornaments of gold and silver, such as were worn by the Saxon lemahs of rank; among them is a kind of rude locket con taining a long t.-rss of glossy yellow- hair. The ornaments appear to be a set, as if thev had belonged to one clerson, and this fact. coupled with the presence of the hair, leads me to suppose the ashes contained in the . urn to be those of the ow ner both of them aud the hair. The amphora also contains a small packet 'of coins, nearly one bun- I dred in number, of which forty-three are gold, and of the reigns of the Koman em perors Honoring, dating A. i). 410, a few of Hadrian, Autonius, rnd Severns, with earlier dates. Thu remaining coin, are silver, probably Saxon, but ow ing to their mutilated and de faced condition 1 am unable to say positive ly, On ouc only is a date visihle, vix., 405. From those dates, as well as from the Saxon ornaments, I am inclined to refer the re mains to about tho date of the first arrival of the Saxous in Hritain. The corps may be that of one of the last emissaries of Home to this Island or as history speaks of no political intercourse between Uouie and our Island at that time, he may have been con nected with a religious, not a civil mis sion. The ashes I nurmisu to be those of a Human female. Hut now shall we account for the presence of the remains of a Human j and a Saxon it: a common tomb?' More I strange still is the emlmlmhtg of the Roman and tho ert unit ton of the Saxon. The posi- j Hon ol the cotliin in the ln-il o: the river is also strange ; but an overturned boat and the shifting sands may account for this. Poss.hly the scroll found in urn may Live an explunatiuii ot this, and till this has been deciphered we must be content to re main in the dark. Yankkk Si'tiiNTiKicKs.

Sidney Smith, in his work ou Moral Phil osophy, speaks in this wise of what men lose for w hat of a little "brass," as it is termed : "A great deal of talent is lost to the world for the want of a little courage. Every day sends to their craves a number of obscure men who has only remained fn obscurity be cause their timidity has prevented them from making a first effort, and who, if they only ht.d been induced to begin, would, in ull probability, have gone great lengths in the career cl fame. The fact is. that in lin ing anything in the World worth doing, we must not stand shivering on the bank think ing of the cold and danger, but jump in aud scramble through ns well as we can. ' It will not do to be perpetually calculat ing risks aud adjusting nice chances; it did all very well before the flood, wheu a man could consult his friends upon an intended publication for a hundred and fifty years, and live to see its success for six or seven centuries afterwards; but at present a man waits and doubt?, and consults his brothers, and his uncltes, aoul h.U particular frisivls, till oue day he rinds that he is a sixty-five years ol age, that he has lost so much time in consulting first cousins and particular friends that he has no more time to follow their advice. There is so little time for overBqitcamishncss at present, that the op portunity slips away. The very period of life at which man chooses to ventuie, if ever is so confined, that it is no bad rule to preach tip the necessity, in such instances, of a little violence done to the feelings, and efforts made in defiance of strict aud sober calculation. Tim Hitman 1'iuse. The human pulse has in all ages been consulted us bn index of health or disease. It is a kind of dial within us which gives us both the measure of time and of health. The pulse of a per son in health beats about seventy strokes in a minute, and the ordinary time of lil'u is seventy years. In this seventy years, the pulse of a temperate person beats two bil lion five hundred and seventy-four million, four hundred and forty thousand times. If no actual disorganization should happen, a druuken person might live until his pulse beat this number of times; but by the con stant stiuiulous of ardent spirits, or by the pulse quickening food, the pulse becomes greatly accelerated and the two billion, five hundred and seventy-tour million, tour hun drsd and forty thousiiud pulsations, are per formed iu little mop; than the ordinary term of human life, at.d life goes out in for ty or forty -five year instead of seventy. This application of numbers is given to show that the acceleration of those forces diminishes the term of huniau life. Advantaok of Pcnwuatiom.
