James McCabe, The Corporal. —During the American dev olution, it is-said that an officer, not. habited in his military costume,.was passing where a small company of soldiers were at work mak ing some repairs oh a small redout. The com* mender of; the little squad was giving orders to those who were under him. relative to a stick of timber which they were endeavoring to raise to the top of tße works. The timber went up bard, and on this account the voice of the little great man was often heard in bis regular vociferations of “ Heave away 1 there she goes 1 Heave ho!” The officer who is spoken of, stopped his horse when he arrived at the place, seeing the timber sometimes scarcely move, asked the commander why he did not take hold and render q little aid. The latter appeared to be Somewhat astonished; turning to the officer with all the pomp of an emperor, said “Sir lam a corporal!" “You are not, though, are you ?” said the officer, “I was not aware of that." And taking.off his hat or .bowing. “ I ask your pardon, Mr. Corporal," upon this he dismounted his elel gant steed, flung the bridle over the poit, and lifted till tfie sweat stood in drops upon bis forehead. When the timber was elevated to its proper station, turning to the man clothed in brief authority, “ Mr. Corporal Commander,” —said he, “ when have Another such job, and have not enough pf men, fend to your commander-in-ohief, and I will come and help you a second time.” The corporal Was thunder struck I It was Washington'; ' OaiTTiNQ too Mucb. — A goocf-nalared mon ey-making, up-country Jonathan, “ got things fixed,” and Struck up a bargain for matrimony; having no particular regard for appearances, the parties agreed to employ a country justice to'put up the tackling. He commenced the ceremonies hy remarking that “it was custo mary on such occasions to commence with a prayer, but fib Belieted he would ofnit that ;” on-tieing the knot he said “it was customary to give the married people some advice, but he believed he would omit that; it was cus tomary. hj kits ffi'a bride, but be believed he would omit that also.” The ceremony being ended, Jonathan took squire.by the button hole, and Clapping his finger to his nose, said, “•Squire, it is customary to give the magistrate five dollars— but i b'lieve J’U omit that.” A country couple, newly married, stopped at a hotel at Brighton, Eng., recently npd the groom; called for some wine. ‘When asked whafkind he have, he replied; “We want that kind of wins where the cork pops out and the liquor boils up like soap-suds.” ' ■ 1 majoe-gesteeaii i£cciiEt“L'A‘iir,‘ir.

While there he introduced the bayonet exercise into the U. S. army, and translated and adopted a manual for the same, which has since become a text-book in, the service. He next served as engineer in the construction of Fort •Delaware. ... >, , ■ In tho Spring of 1852 he was assigned to du ty under Major R. B. Maroy, in tho. Expedition for the exploration of,Red River; Thence he was ordered direct to Texas, as the Senior Engi neer bn the staff of Gen. Persifor F; Smith, and Was engaged on the coast of Texas on Surveys of Rivers and Harbors; In 1853 he was ctrdered to the Pacific coast, in command of the Western Division .of the North- Pacific railroad route. He returned to the East in 1854; on duty connected with the Pacific Survey, and was engaged also in secret to the West Indies. The following year he received a commission in the first Regiment of Cavalry, add was sent to Europe as a member of the Military Com mission lo- the,seat of war in the Crimea and in Northei-n Russia. The other members of the commission, it will be remembered-, were Col. Richard Delafield, at one time Military Superin tendent at West point,'and Maj. Alfred Morde cai, how of the Secession army. McClellan’s Report, made on his return, of the “Organization of European armies, and the operations of the War,” contributed greatly to his already well established reputation as a sci entific soldier, and, as, a military treatise, has bteen highly valued. , He resigned January, 1857, to take the posi tion of Vice President and chief Engineer of the Illinois Central Railroad, which he held nboiit ihrfe'e yhars, and relinquished for the Pres idency of the Ohio-and Mississippi Raihrodd Co., of which he also acted as General Superinten dent, lie maintained in his new field of oper ations the same pre-eminence tty at attended ..hi? career in the military service, and we regard his Railroad experience its hoi by any means the least valuable part of his education for his present- high office. Celerity of action;, and quickness of combination, are invaluable to tho soldier— and the Railroader’s profession, Ivhich, of all others, attaches the most value'to d tumble, and imposes an instant penalty of ruinous disaster upon every fault of judgment, must furnish an invaluable auxiliary training to the man of war. McClellan was appointed Major General of the Ohio Volunteer Militia foroesmnstored into the United States service April 23 of the pres ent year, and on the 14th of the following month, received a commission as Major General of the United States armies. He ranks now next to Scott, but it is pot consequently, a maifer-of coarse, tßalfi&woula succeed to that position, in base the office of.
