Dear Row : Here we are watching Gray backs, which does not strain ones eye-sight much, as the distance from where I sit, to two Rebs on post, is not more than 60 yards. A Lieutenant from the other side, jast now jo kingly enqnired to whom I was writing. Up on being informed, he teq nested me to pre sent his compliments to you, with the remark that he hoped yon would he kind enongh not to claim a victory for Hooker at Fredericks burg, as it did not end thos. Me, however, frankly acknowledged that Hooker won a vic tory, and a great one at that. but says be over done tbe job and lost it again. Perhaps, he is more than half right. On onr return from tbe Stonemsn raid, we were sent into camp near Potomac Creek bridge to recrait, where we remained about one week. Much of that time I passed with my brother, Dr. J. W., who is Medical Direc tor of the 1st Division, (Birney's) 3d Army corps; which stood tbe brnnt of tbe fight af ter the break of tbe Iltb. The 3d suffered se verely. They bad completed the work of bringing tbe wounded across, of whom there sre about 1.800 in the 1st Division Hospital. I am glad to be able to say, when I left, all were comfortably provided with clean and ai ry quarters, and tinder the untiring attentions of a host ot humane and attentive surgeons, directed by a splendid surgeon and really es timable gentleman, Doct. Geo. Lutz, who is io charge of that hospital. All seemed as com . tortable as their wounds would permit in short, nothing seems to have been neglected that could in the least add to their comfort, either real or Imaginary, except, perhaps, the imaginary superior softness of tbe well re membered and now oft thought of bed at home. Before I left, most of tbe necessary operations had been carefully and skilfally performed, which was evidenced by the rapid improvement in the health of the patients. Too much cannot be said in praise of the sur geons and their assistants in this hospital, for their sleepless and untiring efforts to relieve tbe pains of tbe poor sufferers. Then, tbe hospital tents and grounds are a perfect mod die of neatness.enlived by tbe presence of the ever cheerful Doctor Lots, aforementioned ; who, I am proud to say, is a Pennsylvanian, and I think from Columbia county. All ope rations were performed when tbe patients were under the influence of Chloroform ; tbe value of which cn hardly be estimated. I witnes sed an operation tbe evening before I left. The patient asked ray Brother if there was no hope for saving bis leg T When answered in the negative, he said, then you will amputate it yourself, wont you ? When asnred that his request wonld be complied with, be fixed him self upon tbe stretchers, and began to inhale the pleasing drug. After a few moments be began to sing portions of the Star Spangled Banner, his voice growing fainter, when, at last, with a countenance beaming with smiles be went oS into dream-land, perhaps to hold pleasing converse with the dear ones lar away, whose tears of sympathy were yet nnshed for his sufferings. Tbe maimed limb was gone and the dressing applied to tbe wounded stump; when be awoke and inquired of the Doctor, how long lefore you are going to take it off 7 He was much surprised to learn thit tbe dreaded job was qjer. This was but one of tbe many operations that I witnessed, and all were entirely unconscious of pain, if, in deed, tbe part operated upon is in any degree sensitive. On arriving at Kelly's Ford, with a detach ment for picket duty at that place, we were sainted by some eight or ten shots from some Johnny Rebs, which killed two horses and wounded one man. We soon learned, that to show our heads within rifle rsnge of tbe oppo site shore, was to risk getting a bullet or two through it. This state of affairs was brought about, by the retiring pickets firing a volley, as a parting salute, at the Rebs. They were regulars. Picket shooting was tbe order for a day and night, but gradually the Ire of both parties cooled, and tbey now sit on the oppo site banks of the narrow stream, frequently conversing in the most friendly manner. Our post is 5 miles from Kelly's Ford, near Rap pahannock Station. Several deserters came over and gave themselves up, declaring tbey bad enough of the war. Two came over last night with borses, arms and equipments. Tbey represent a heavy fotce of cavalry st Culpep per Court House, where, according to rumor they are concentrating a force for a raid into Maryland; wbjch is to eclipse Stoneman's late raid into Dixie. If this be true, we are like ly soon to have other than picket duty to per form. , . . .. , ' Bushwhackers are thicker in this vicinity, than fleas on a dog.

At tbe public reception given to Colonel Grierson and his officers at New Orleans, on May tbe 6th, the gallant Colonel, in response to an address of welcome by Mr. L. Madison Day, spoke as follows : "Gentlemen : It did not need this demon stration to convince me of tbe high appre ciation in which tbe" people bold the servi ces of my command. I accept this tosei ; not because I think the services I have per formed worthy of such high honors thou sands of others would have done the same but because it is a heart offering from the Uni'jD people of this city to their brethren of tbe West. Tbe credit of the achievement is due to tbe men and officers under my com mand who, endowed with fortitude, fought with bravery, and overcame every obstacle, and suffered every hardship and privation without murmuring. In passing through the confederacy I have had a good opportunity to form a correct opinion ot its strength. That strength has been over estimated. They have neither the army nor tbe resources we have given them credit for, and we have been great ly deceived in regard to the means and pow er of the rebels. Passing through their coun try (and tbe passage wa not avery diffi cult one,) I found thousands of good Union men, who are ready and anxious to return to their allegiance the moment they can do so with safety to themselves and families; They will rally around the old flag by scores, whenever our army advances. I could have brought away a thousand with me, who were anxious to come men whom I found fugi tives from their homes, hid in the swamps and forests, where tbey are bunted like wild beasts by the rebel conscripting officers with blood hounds. Having visited them in their own homes, I have founded my belief upon what I have heard and saw there, that tbe day is not far distant when we shall witness the downfall of the rebellion and the restoration of the Union as it was. Thanking you again, gentlemen, I can only assure you that we shall so act as to deserve your confidence, and show ourselves worthy the compliments yon have so lavishly bestowed upon us in the Cres cent City, ar.d our highest aim shall be to merit your approbation, and maintain the hon or and glory of our country." The success of- Grierson, justly remarks a cotemporary, shows not only what an active and dashing officer can execute with men of a spirit equal to his own, but, also, his experi ence tells us, as Stoneman's did, bow hollow and empty is that which calls itself the 'South ern confederacy." When once he has pierc ed the Blender cover, Col. Grierson rode down the whole length of the great State ol Missis sippi with a loss of but one man ; and every where he found only Union men, misery, and weariness with the war which the rebel lead ers forced on tbe country as a card shuffler forces a false card on his victims. That a cav alry force should be able to ride a distance of eight hundred miles through the enemy's country certainly shows that that country is pretty well emptied of its defenders, or that a great part of tbe population is favorable to our cause. A Sectabiiax Prater. A young lady employed in teaching a district school some where in Ohio, wished to open tbe school with a prayer, and tor that purpose asked the consent of the trustees. It was readily given, on condition that tbe prayer should not be "sectarian." The condition was accepted. After some weeks, the school-mistress was summoned to attend tbe trustees. Complaint had been made that the daily prayefs, contrary to conditions, was "sectarian." The young lady bad no knowledge of tbe charge she was "clad in conscious - innocence." She asked for specifications. A grave trustee arose and stated that be was sorry to testify that he him self had heard a "sectarian prayer while visit, ing the school." , "Well, what was it V It was an Episcopal prayer. I have read it in tbe Episcopal prayer Book." Impossible !" was the reply. Repeat it; what was it?" "Well, I cannot repeat it all, but it was a prayer that begins, "Our Father wbicb art in beaven." Gifts Faost Germ aht One of the steam ers of tbe Hamburg and American Steamship Company, lately arrived brought to this port over eighty large packages of fine linen and lint, which bad been contributed by the friends ot the Union along the Rhine, for the benefit of our sick and wounded soldiers.. Some of tbe packages were of the size of hogsheads, all were made np of the best material. Tbe linen was especially fine. Every package bore this inscription : "Rhine, Bavaria. For the Wounded Defen ders of the United States." These packages were a free gift of the freedom-loving men and women of Rhineland, and were brought over tree by the Hamburg and American line. In tbe light of such exhibitions as this and oth ers that have preceded it, there is no room at all for doubt as to tbe existence among the people everywhere throughout Europe, of a deep and profound sympathy with the North in its .grand struggle for liberty and good Gov erumect. " " HOMICIDE IS. FAYETTE C0XJSTT. A difficulty occurred at a Democratic meet ing, at Sraithfield, Georges township, Fayette county, on Saturday last, which terminated in tbe killing of one of the combatants. It ap pears that Henry Mallaby and Joseph Epley had quarreled some ten years ago.and that the grudge then engendered still lingered with them Epley had been indulging freely, and was under the influence ot liquor. He had chased off one or two negroes, pursuing them with a revolver and firing after them. He had just returned from a chase as Mr. Mallaby stepped out of a store with a view to cross over the street to speak to a man on business, when Epley grabbed him by the collar, nd demanded satisfaction for the old grudge, at the same time cocking and flourishing his re volver. Mr. Mallaby ordered bim to stand off, that he wanted to have nothing to do with hita, but being fully convinced that Epley was preparing to shoot, snatched out his own re volver and fired, tbe ball entering his assail ant's neck, glancing downwards, and lodging between the shoulders. They were facing each other, and the act occurred so quick ly 'that no one had time to interfere. Epley staggered off a tew steps and sank down and died in a few minutes, partly from the loss of blood, the ball having entered an internal jug ular. Tbe deceased was a man perhaps thirty years of age, and leaves a wife and one or two children. Mr. Mallaby is some ten years his senior, and has" also a wife and family is a farmer in easy circumstances, and much res pected by the community. Were we to contrast the dignity of the two nations, America and England, that of the lat ter would be naturally lowered in tbe estima tion of the reader. One simple fact will go to show in what particular England differs from us in her definition of tbe word dignity. To sustain its moral character, and with it tbe throne, tbe poorer classes of tbe manufactur ing districts, and even many of a higher class were actually robbed, and tbe bread taken out of their mouths to pamper to the aristocracy. Millions of pounds sterling were drained from the laboring classes to lavish on the Prince of Whales ,- and invest in Government stock tor him and his heirs forever ! It was during this time, and even in the midst of the lavish ex penditures, that the working classes called a loud for bread. Who responded to the call ? Was it the Queen or ber Parliament 1 Oh ! no. It was America, a nation which, accord ing to their ideas, "tea a thing of the past." It was here we returned good for evil, and dis played a dignity which must have called up a blush on the cheek of England 'b queen. But monarch have no souls, hence no emotions. Fact for Vegetariass. It is indeed a fact worthy of remark, and one that seems never to have been noticed, that throughout tbe whole animal creation, in every country and clime cf tbe earth, the most useful animals that eat vegetable food work. The allpower ful elephant, and the patient , untiring camel, in tbe torrid zone ; tbe borse, the ox, or tbe donkey, in the temperate ; and the reindeer in the frigid zone, obtain all their muscular power from nature's simplest production the vegetable kingdom. But all the Hesh-eating animals keep the rest of tbe animated crea tion in constant dread of them.' Tbey seldom eat vegetable food until some other animal hag eaten it first, and made it into flesh. Their owe flesh is unfit for other animals to eat, hav ing been itself made out of flesh, and is most foul and offensive. Great strength, fleetness of foot, usefulness, cleanliness, and docility are then, always characteristic of vegetable eaters. Sleep Overcomes All Meji. Themost vi olent passion and excitement cannot keep even powerful minds from sleep. Alexander the Great slept on tbe field of A r be la, and Na polean npon that of Austerlitz. Even stripes and forture cannot keep off sleep, as criminals have been knowa to give way to it on tbe rack. Xoises, which at first serve to drive it away, soon become indispensible to its existence, thus a stage coacb stopping to change horses, wakes all tbe passengers. Tbe proprietor of an iron forge, who slept close to the din of hammers, forges, and blast furnaces, would wake if there was any interruption to them du ring tbe night v and a sick miller, who bad bis mill stopped on that account, passed sleep less nights until the mill resumed its usual noise. Homer, in bis Iliad, elegantly repre sents sleep as overcoming all men, and even the gods. There seems a probability of warm work on the borders of Arkansas and the Indian Terri tory. On the 20th, Col. Philips, command ing our forces in tbe Territory, bad a fight with a portion of Price's army near fort Gib son. Tbe rebels were driven back, but as they are said to bave 11,000 men well provi ded with artillery, to onr 3.000 our forces will rely for the present en their strong fortifica tions. Gen. fierroo is, however, on his. way to the' scene of his former triumphs, and tbe rebels will not have everything their own way. It is stated that the Texan Rangers and tbeir allies are likely to give the trains for New Mexico considerable trouble.. J GEX. HTTSTER'S LETTER TO JEFF. DAVIS . The following letter from General Hunter to JeS. Davis is printed in the Free Soulh, dated May SOth : Headquarters Depart, of the Socth, I Hiltoh HeaO, Fort Rotal, April 23. J Jefftrton Davis, Richmond, Va.: Tbe United States flag must protect all its defenders,white,black or yellow. Several ne groes in the employ of the Government in tbe Western Department bave been cruelly mur dered by your authorities and others sold into slavery. Every outrage of this kind against the laws of humanity which may take place in this department thall be followed by the imme diate execution of the rebel of the highett ranfe is my possestion. Man for man,these execution! vill certainly take place, for every one murder ed, or told into slavery worse than death. On your authorities will rest the responsibility of this barbarious policy, and yon will be held responsible in his world and the world to come for all tbe blood thus shed. In the month of August last you declared all those engaged in arming the negroes to fight tor tbeir country to be felons, and di rected tbe immediate execution of all such as should be captured. 1 bare given you long enough to reflect on yoar folly. I now give you notice that, unless this order ia immedi ately revoked, I will at once cause the execu tion of every rebel officer, and every rebel slaveholder in my possession. The poor ne gro is fighting lor liberty in its truest sense ; and Mr. Jefferson has beautifully said "in su:h a war there is no attribute of the Almighty which will induce him to fight on the side of the oppressor.' Tou say you are fighting for liberty. Tes, you are fighting for liberty liberty to keep four millions of your feilow beings in igno rance and degradation ; liberty to separate pa rents and children, husband and wife, brother and sister; liberty to steal tbe products of tbeir labor, exacted with many a cruel lash and bit ter tear; liberty to seduce tbeir wives and daughters, and to sell your own children into bondage ; liberty to kill these children with impunity, when the murder cannot be proven by one of pure white blood. This is the kind of liberty the liberty to do wrong, wbicb Sa tan, chief of tbe fallen angels, was contending for when be. was cast into hell. I bave the honor to be.very respectfully, Your most obedient servant, D. HUNTER, Major General Com'g. The Price of Battle. At the battle of Areola, the Austrians lost in killed and woun ded, 18,000 men j French, 15,000. At Hohenlinden, tbe Austrian loss was 14, 000 ; tbe French 9,000. At Austerlitz tbe Allies, out of 80,000 men, lost 80,000 in killed, wounded or prisoners ; tbe French lost only (!) 12,000. At Jena and Auerstadt, tbe Prussians lost 30,000 men, killed and wounded, and nearly as many prisoners, making nearly 60.000 in all ; and tbe French 11,000 in killed aud woun ded. At tbe terrific battle of Eylau, the Russi ans lost 2-5,000 in killed and wounded ; and the French 30,000. At Friedlaod, the Russians lost 17,000 in killed and wounded ; the French loss was 8,000. At Wagram, tbe Austrians andrench lost each 25,000 men, or 50.000 in all; in killed and wonded. AUwaya bave good stock of patience laid by, and be sure yoo pot it where you can ea sily find it. - ' " Womajc's "Thirtt Poihts." An old Span ish writer says that a woman is quite perfect and absolute in beauty if she bave thirty good points. Here they are i Three things white the skin, the teeth the bands. Three black the eyes, eyebrows and eye lashes. Three red, the lips, tbe cheeks, the nails. Three long the body, tbe hair, the hands. Three short The teeth, the ears, the feet. Three broad tbe chest, the brow, the space below tbe eyebrows. Three narrow tbe mouth, the waist, tbe instep. - Three large the arm, the hip, the calf. Three free the fingers, the hair, tbe lips. Three small tbe breast, the nose, tbe head. Thirty in all. The Qckeh or PcDDntos. The American Jrgicultnralist challenges any housekeeper in the country to give any mode of preparing a more delicious light pudding : One pint of nice bread crumbs to one quart of milk, one cup oi sugar, tbe yolks of 4 eggs beaten, tbe grated rind-of a lemon, a piece of butter tbe size of an egg. Bake until done but not watery. Whip tbe whites of the eggs stiff, and beat in a teacopfnl of sugar in wbicb is stirred the juice of lemon. Spread over tbe pudding a layer of jelly or any sweetmeats yon prefer. Pour the whites of the eggs over this and replace in tbe oven and bake lightly. To be eaten cold with cream. It is second on ly to ice cream , and for some seasons better. A curious will, found at Port Royal, ill ns trates a peculiar phase of tbe institution of slavery. Tbe testator, John Cooper, of Caro line county, Va., gives bis property to bia wife and daughter, but to do this he is obliged to emancipate his wife, who was bis slave, and thereby (according to aristocratic Virginia practice) legitimatize bis daegbter , born of the aforesaid slave. PRICES IB BEBELDOHC. Under a late law ef tbe Rebel Congress, board of commissioners convened fn Richmond to fix upon the value of articles which may be impressed into the public service during the next two months. They bave fixed the value of wheat at $4 50 per bushel ; corn $4 ; oats, $2 ; potatoes, $5 ; salt, $-5 ; flour, per barrel, $22 50; bacon, salt pork and lard, $1 per pound ; tallow candles, $1 , soap, 31 cents ; brown sugar, ft ; codee, $3 ; tea $10 ; leather, $3 ; hay, per ton, $80 freight per m ile, per bushel grain, 3 cents ; two horse team and dri ver per day, $10; four borses, $13; six borse $16; laborers, found, $2 per day ; $40 per month, and one half those rates it found by array. This is in all cases less than one balf tbe retail price ; and in rouny instances lest than one-third. But even at the figures above, no government could long continue a war. Tbe Secretary of the Treasury will bave to is sue more than $50,000 000 new denrind notes per month to make the necessary purchases. Owjrixa Up. There are Secret leagues form ed, and being formed, having oaths, obliga tions, pass-words and grips, in the' country, whose members are compelled to take a sol emn oath which binds them to support men who will "never consent' to the restoration of the Union founded by Washington. fmtr Gazette. "Honest confession is god for the soai.' We bave warned the peoule against these se cession leagues, again and again, but their party organs denied tbeir existence. The fre quent exposures have caused them to own np. Tbey first started as the "Order of the Lone Star," to steal Cuba and add slave territory. During the Border Ruffian reign of terror in Kansas, it took the name of '-Knights of the Golden Circle." Under that name these trai tor disunion leagues are now flourishing. So doubt tbe Elmira editor speaks from personal knowledge. The Doo Before the Mirror. Gotthol bad a little dog, which, when placed before a mirror, became instantly enraged and barked at bis own image. He remarked on the occa sion : "In jreneral, a mirror serves as an ex citement to self-love, whereas it stimulates this dog to anger against itself. Tbe animal cannot conceive that the figure it sees is only its reflection, but fancies that it is a strange dog, and therefore will not suffer it to ap proach its master. This may remind ns of an infirmity of our depraved hearts. We of ten complain of others, aud take oflense at the things tbey do against ns, without reflect ing that, for tbe most part, the blame lies with ourselves. Men behave ill to ns, ' be cause we behave ill to them. Our children are forward because they have inherited and learned forwardness from us. We are an gry with them yet they are onr own image." The Exdless Rest. There are no weary beads or weary hearts on the other side of Jor dan. The rest of beaven will be the sweeter for the toils of earth. The Value of eternal rest will be enhanced by the troubles of time. Jesus now allows ns to rest on His bosom. He will soon biing ns to rest in His Father's bouse. His rest will be glorious. A rest from sin ; a rest from suffering: a rest from toil ; a rest from sorrow. The very rest 'that Jesus Himself enjoys. We shall rest not on ly with bim, but like him. Thanks be nnto God for tbe rest we now enjoy ! Ten thousand thanks to God for tbe rest we shall enjoy with Christ ! Wearied one, look away from tbe cause of thy present suffering, and remember there is a rest remaining for thee. A little while and tbon shall enter into rest. The editor of the Scientific American who has examined tbe Monitor Passaic, now un dergoing repairs "at New fork, ssys tbe trial to which she was snbjected dnring the attack, on Charleston, proves that our iron -clad a are impregnable, and that we may safely defy all the English iron-clads and their armaments. Tbe Wbitworth shot, or fac similes of them, in s majority of cases, struck sideways; tbey reached tbe turret in alt possible positions, and show very poor shooting on the part of the rebels.
