CORRESPONDENCE OF THE "JOURNAL'
Letter from the Rappahannock.
Picket Posr.Normao'sFord.Va., May 23, '63.
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. Tbey captured one Lieu
tenant and four or five of our men, who were
parolled after everything was taken from them.
.Night before last tbey shot a picket of the 10th
N. r., killing him. Thy are the Copper
beads of Virginia. More anon. .

SPEECH OF C0L0WEL GSIEESOff.
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.

000 ; tbe French 9,000.
At Austerlitz tbe Allies, out of 80,000 men,

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

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,

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

"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. There is no indentation on Ibe
Passaic deeper than a tea saucer, and she was
tbe most injured of the attacking fleet except
tbe Keokuk, which was sot a monitor.

There is no use of suffering, if yon can belp
it ; a good stout, resolute protest, would often
be a great deal more wise aod Christian and
beneficial,than so much patient endurance. '
