ABTpSMAB WAED IN THE SOUTH,
| i Ht S’TRIALS AITD ADVENTURES. ,
I hall a narrer escape from the sonny South.
“ 'the swings and nrrers of outrajus folrtio,” al
luded ijo by Hamlick, warn’t nothin in compari
son to|my trubles I cnme pesky near swearin
some profane oaths more’n onct, but I hope I
didn’t do it, for I ipromist she whose name shall
be nanjteless (except that her initials is Betsy J.)
that I’jil jine the Meetin House at Baldinsville
jest as [soon as I citn scrape money enuff togeth
er so a|s I can ’foiid to be piuss in good stile,
like my welthy nabers. But if I’m confistica
ted agin I’m afraid I shall continuer On in my
present benited state for sum time.
’ I fingered conspieyusly in many thrilling
scenesfin my tower from Montgomry to my
humsted, and on sevral occasions I thawt “ the
grate Komic paper” wouldn't never be 1 enriched
no more with my lubrications. Arter bidding
adoo to Jefferson D. I started for the depot.—
I saw i nigger sittin on a fence a playing" bn a

a Track I once red, “ you belong to a very in
teresti|j race. Your masters is goin to war ex-
op you|r account.”
- I” Yds, boss,” he replied, “ and I wish ’em
honorable graves!” and ho went on playin the
banjo,; larfin all over and openin bis mouth
kde lenuff to drive in an oldfasbioned 2
wheeled chase.
Theltrain of cars in which I was to trust my
w illerable life was the scaliest, ricketest look
ing 101 l of.consarns that I ever saw on wheels
afore. I "What time does this string of'second
had cqEns leave ?” 1 inquired of the depot mas
ter. He said direckly, and I went in A sot
down. I I hadn’t more’n fairly squatted afore a
dairk man, with a swinister expression
only i}is countenance, entered the cars, and
lobkini; very sharp at me, be axed what was
•my prpcipuls?
“Soqesh !” I inserted. “ ’lm a Dissoluter I’m
in favor of Jeff Davis, Bouregard, Pickens Capt
Kidd, ploodbsard, Monroe, [Edwards, the devil,
Mrs. Ounnigham and all the rest of ’eni.”
‘ You’re in favor of the war ?” «
“Certainly. By all means. I’m in favor of
this wlr and also of the nest war for over six
teen years 1”
“Wit to the knife!” sed the man.
“Bird, Eargo, bind! sed I, tho them words

it was purely an extempore effort, it was

to make a speech without pleasing every

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

After the war, he remained on duty with the
sappers and miners at West Point, until June,
1851. 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

FTTH AT CAMP CUETIW,
The marked feature of Camp Curtin at tbia
time is the “.Wild-cats” and .their belongings.'
Col. Kane’s Regiment you know embraces the
men included within this designation. But
under.this generic term, are various specific
characteristics, the principal of which is the

Their iiletl of a soldier is primitive as yeti
Every man among them is a Captain and of

a conflict of authority that is embarrassing.'—
The restraint of Camp npon these free spirits ■
ofthe backwoods is peculiarly burdensome. ; —
They must base elbow room. .As yet the regi
mental organization not being completed, their
drill has not progressed to the point of perfec
tion. When asked, by a Stranger when they
drilled; “ drill be d—was the reply, f-‘ wo ,
