Select Ipoctrii.
To The Editor, Greeting-.
Here is a charming little Valentine,
addressed to an editor by a young lady
of elegant taste and riht excellent dis
cernment :
I saw you one day, oh, Editor dear!
In your cozy office chair,
With your indolent pen behind your ear
(It usually seemed to be there )
You used the scissors, j'Ou used the paste,
And the Daily Thunderer grew ;
And once in awhile, in desperate haste,
You seized the pen, and, in excellent taste,
Invented an item new !
A murder and burglary here and there,
A steamboat or railroad accident rare,
A pleasant fiction of stocks
An account of a temperance meeting some
where,
Or a "great revelation" to make people stare,
r rom the knowingest spirit that knocks !
And you put up your feet on the table to rest.
xVnd pronounced to-day's Thunderer one of
the best
An exceedingly graphic sheet;
But you looked round the sanctum, and
heaved a low sigh,
And mournfully wished some dear praiser
was nigh
But our eyes chanced not to meet!
Surely, the plcasantest thing in this life
Were to be an agreeable editor's wife,
And up in the sanctum to stay
And sit among papers up to one's ears,
la a dear little chair, wiih some dear little
shears,
And help him to edit all day !
To turn the machine for the poems sometimes,
Or help disentangle refractory rhymes,
from lines that poets might send
No cooking to do, for we'd live on "pufF paste,"
And if e'er that sweet nutrimt palled on the
taste,
Why, we'd go and take tea with a friend!
THE BATTLE OF EYLAU
BY JOHN S. C. ABBOTT.
From the fields Jena and Aucrstadt,
Frederick "William, the king of Prussia,
fled more than five hundred miles to the
banks of the Vistula, in Prussian Poland,
where he found refuge in the army of the
emperor Alexander. The Russians,
amazed by the disaster which had so sud
denly overwhelmed their ally, opened their
arms to receive the fugitives. Alexander,
alarmed, called all his resources into
requisition ; and from every part of his
vast empire troops were on the march to
swell the ranks of his army.
Napoleon was a thousand miles from
his capital, and the snows of winter already
began to whiten those northern hills. If
n blow were not immediately struck, the
foe miaht accumulate in such masses as
to fall upon the French in the spring with
overwhelming numbers. In an address
to the troops, which electrified all hearts,
the army was inspired with enthusiasm to
disregard all fatigue and peril, and again
advance to meet the foe. Through rain
and snow and miry roads, the wheels of
the ponderous artillery often sinking axle
deep, the eager army followed their chief
tain. It required a march of four hundred
miles to pa?s from Berlin to Warsaw.
Upon the right bank of the Vistula Alex
ander had a force of one hundred and
twenty thousand men, whom he -was
strongly entrenching. It was now the
stormy month of December. Through a
dreary country of forests, morasses and
bleak plains, the French army passed on,
day by da', occasionally encountering op
position, which they swept before them as
the gale sweeps autumnal leaves, until,
early in January, the army enteied the
black forests which frown along the Vis
tula. Here the French troops encamped
to prepare for the spring campaign. Their
entrenchments extended along the left
banks of the river for a distance of one
hundred and fifty miles. All the passes
of the stream were so occupied as to ren
der surprise imjsiblc.
Comfortable huts were built from the
logs of the forest, arranged in regular and
neat streets, and supplied with every
comfort. Immense convoys of provisions
were incessantly arriving, the soldiers be
in" supplied svith several millions of bot
tles of wine. The sk-k and wounded
especially were nursed with the most ten
der care. ' Over each hospital a chief
overseer was appointed, always supplied
with ready money, and ordered to supply
the sick with every needful comfort. A
chaplain was also appointed over every
hospital to uiiniscer to the spiritual wants
of the sick and the dying This chaplain
Tas bound to watch over all under his
care, and to report to the emperor the
slightest irregularity or negligence toward
the sick.
Winter lrooded drearily over the bleak
northern plains, as the month of January
passed slowly away. Europe contemplated
with wonder the aspect of a French army
oi nearly two hundred thousand men, en
camped in the forests of the Vistula, and
yet provided with every comfort. Alex
ander, with hardy troops accustomed to
these frigid realms, prepared to attack
JNapoIeon by surprise, in his winter quar
ters. But Napoleon was rarely caught
napping. Keeping himself constantly
informed of every movement of the enemy,
he met them in their stealthy march, and
overwhelmed them in their entirely un
locked for assault. The whole French
line was urged impetuously forward, and
a series of battles ensued, amidst the drifts
and storms of winter, such as the annals
of war had never before recorded. In
every forest, mountain gorge and by the
banks of every swollen stream the retreat
ing L-ussians planted their batteries.
But the French, with impetuosity which
nothing could retard, still pressed on, in
an incessant storm of battle. The snow.
crimsoned with blood, drifted over the
dead. Mutilated forms, frozen to the ice,
drifted down the stream to unknown bur
ials. The scene at night was wonderfully
sublime. The country was densely wood
ed. No tents were used. The soldiers
hastily constructed with logs and boughs
protection ironi the wjnd, aud with hu;re
camp fires blazing at their feet, slept
soundly, lhese fund fares "-learned over
wide leagues of frozen hill and valley, il
lumining the landscape with an almost
supernatural radiance.
Napoleon had now driven his assailants
two hundred and forty miles north from
the banks of the Vistula. At length the
Ilussians concentrated their forces, and
made a stand for a decisive battle, on the
plains of Fylau. It was the 7th of Feb
ruary-, 1807 Ihe pursued and the pur
suers were within cannon shot of each
other. The night was dark with threat
ening clouds, and intensely cold, as the
llussiaus took their positions on the brow
of a gentle swell of land, extending three
miles, and overlooking and commanding a
bleak, unsheltered plain, from which the
French would be compelled to make their
sault. u pou the ridge Alexander spread
out his lines of defence, and plauted his
batteries of five hundred guns. As the
soldiers threw themselves upon the icy
ground tor their bivouac, the rising storm
commenced its dirge, and sifted dowu up
on them the winding sheet of snow.
Through the drifts and the gloom of
this storm Napoleon also led his troops
upon the field, and, with characteristic
skill, took position for the decisive battle
which the morning was to usher in. Two
hundred and fifty pieces of heavy artillery
were plauted to rain destruction upon the
lines of the foe. Fighty thousand Ilus
sians occupied the ridge. Sixty thousand
rrenchmcn wTc-re spread over the plain
below. Throughout the night there was
the murmur of voices and the confusion
of military movements as horsemen and
footmen selected positions for the battle.
The sentinels of the two armies exchanged
friendly greetings, and could almost touch
each other with their muskets. In these
sad hours the spirit of humanity tii-
umphed over the ferocity of war, and the
soldiers of the two armies, feelimr no
personal hostility, as they walked their
dreary rounds, cheered each other with
the interchange of food and wine.
The morniug had not yet dawned wdien
the cannonade commenced. Seven hun
dred pieces of artillery, workedby the
most expert gunners, mowed down the
opposing hosts upon the hill and the
plain. Column after column melted away
before the merciless discharges. At the
same time a smothering blinding storm of
snow swept the field. The smoke of the
battle, blending with the storm, enveloped
the combatant in the gloom of almost
impenetrable night. Beneath this sul
phurous canopy, where the flash of the
guns could scarcely be perceived, squad
rons of horsemen and footmeu were hurled
against each other.
Thus for eighteen hours the battle raged
one hundred and forty, thousand men fi
ring .into each others bosoms. In the
midst of the conflict the emperor was
informed that a church, 'which occupied
a position deemed of essential importance,
had been taken by the enemy. Spurring
his horse into the midst of a column of
his troops, he said : "We must have that
church back again at every hazzard."
vice V cmpcreur the column made a resist
less charge, through a storm of bullets,
upon the foe. The emperor espied in the
ranks an old grenadier, with bloodstained
clothes, blackened with gunpowder; and
his Jeft arm just torn off by a shell, while
drops of blood were fast falling fiom the
ghastly wound.
"Stay, stay," cried the' emperor, "and
go to the ambulance and get your wound
dressed."
"I will," said the soldier, "so soon as
wee shall have taken, the church," and
rushing on with his couiradc3 he disap
peared amidst the smoke and tumult of
the battle.
The twilight of the stormy day grad
ually gave place to the gloom of night.
Ihe storm of battle raged with undimin
ished fury. Thirty thousand Ilussians
were already stretched upon the frozen
ground. Ten thousand Frenchmen, the
dying and the dead, were also strewed
upon the plain. Ten thousand horses had
also been struck by the balls.- Some were
struggling in the convulsive agonies of
death, while others, in the wildest terror
were rushing riderless over the plain.
It was now ten o'clock at night, and
nearly one-half of the Ilussian army was
destroyed, and all the survivors were
exhausted and despondent. At that hour
a fresh division of the French army impet
uously entered the field. This decided the
day. But still the Ilussians, though reti
ring, maintained a brave and unbroken
front. The victors utterly exhausted,
sought such repose as could be found,
shelterless beneath that wintry sky. Na
poleon, according to his invariable custom,
traversed the field of battle, to minister,
with his own bauds, to the wounded aud
the dying. It was midnight, cold and
stormy. Perhaps never before did earth
present a spectacle of such unmitigated
misery. Frightful was the scene which
the dawn of the morning revealed. Nearly
forty thousand men, awfully mutilated,
were stretched upon the crimson snow.
A wail of anguish rose from the wounded,
which froze every heart with terror. For
eight days Napoleon remained at Fylau,
until all the sick and wounded were care
fully provided for, when he returned to
the Vistula. In the spring he again march
ed forth to the victory of Friedland, and
the peace of Tilsit.
Getting Married.
During the last summer a little inci
dent transpired in one of the eastern
towns, which afforded some amusement to
the spectators at the time, and lurnished
food for considerable gossip thereafter.
It occurred in church, in one of those
quiet afternoons when all the world seems
ready to drop asleep, when the flies buzz
lazily on the window-panes, and the dog
lies on the door-stone.
The afternoon service had ended, and
the congregation were arranging them
selves for the benediction, when, to the
great astonishment of the worshippers,
the good parson uescenueu irom the pulpit
to the desk below, and said, in a calm,
clear voice :
"Those wishing to be united in the holy
bonds of matrimony will now please come
torwaru.
A clsep stillness instantly fell over the
congregation broken only by the rustling
of silk as fcome pretty girl or excited ma
tron changed her position to catch a view
of the couple who were to be married
No one arose, however, nor seemed the
least inclined to rise.
Whereupon, the worthy clergyman, be
lieving his first notice unheard or mis
understood, repeated the invitation in a
still plainer voice. :
"Let those persons wishing to be united
in the holy bonds of matrimony now come
forward."
Still no one stirred. The silence became
alarming, and a painful sense of the awk
wardness of the position was gradually
spreading among those present, when a
young gentleman who had occupied a
vacant scat in the broad aisle during the
service, slowly arose and deliberately
walked to the foot of the altar. He was
a good looking and well dressed man ; but
no one knew him, aud no female accom
panied his travels. When he arrived
within a respectful distance of the clergy
man, he paused with a reverent bow,
stepped to one side of the aisle, butneith- '
cr sayed anything nor seemed at all dis
concerted at the idea of being married
without a bride.
The clergyman looked earnestly around
fcr the bride, who he supposed, was yet
to arrive, and at length remarked to the
young gentleman in an under tone :
"The lady, sir, is dilatory !"
"Very, sir."
"Had we not belter defer the ccremo
ny?" "I think not. Do you suppose she will
be here soon ?"
"Me, sir!" said the astonished shepherd
"that is a matter belouging to you."
A few moments more were sutfered to
elapse in this unpleasant state of expect
ancy, when the clergyman renewed his
interrogatories:
' "Did the lady promise to attend at the
present hour?"
"What lady?"
"Why, the lady you are here waiting
for."
"I did not hear her say anything about
it," was the young gentleman's unsatisfac
tory reply.
"Then, sir, may I ask why you are
here, and for what purpose 3'ou trifle in
the sanctuary of the Most Uiiih ?" raid
the clerical gentleman, evidently somewhat
enraged.
"I came sir, because you invited all
those wishing to be united in the holy
bonds of matrimony to step forward, and
I happen to entertain such a wish. I am
very sorry to have misunderstood -ou.
sir, and now I wish you a very good day.
The benediction was uttered with a so
lemnity of tone little in accordance wit!
the twitching of the facial nerves; and
when, after the church was closed, the
story got wind among the congregation,
more than one girl regretted that her
wishes had not been as boldly expressed
as those of the young gentleman who had
really wished to be "united in the holy
Caste at Fort Lafayette.
From the New York Evening Post.
Treason is frequently regarded as a gen
tlemanly crime, and the person guilty of
it often pretends to a daintiness to which
common felons are foibidden to aspire.
Hence the traitors in the present rebel
lion claim and receive British S3'mpathy,
not because they do not richly deserve the
halter, but because they are "gentlemen."
The Tories of the Revolution made sim
ilar pretensions, llev. Dr. Dutche once
wrote a letter to General Washington
urging him to abandon the patriot cause
on the ground that he was a gentleman,
whereas the members of Congress from
New England and other revolutionary
leaders were not.
A gentleman of this city, a native of a
southern State haviug occasion to visit
Fort Lafayette, was addressed uion this
subject. He found there ninety-seven pris
oners, divided, like Ilindo society, into
four castes, each possessing a social status
of its own.
"When we first came here," said his
informant, "we suffered much inconve
nience, and our residence was made disa
greeable. We were associated promiscu
ously together, not classified, and were
confounded with the vulgar characters
whom the government Jiad seen fit to
incarcerate with us. Gentlemen of refined
taste were compelled to associate with tra
ders, common sailors, and the like ; to .sit
at the same table and eat similar food.
It is now improved. There are ninety-
seven of us here, aud we have been been
diided into groups and companies, more
in accordance with our tastes, making it
much pleasauter.
" L tius we have here a number of sail
ors, lney constitute classes. Unc class
is made up of pirates outright, who enlist
without regard to priuciple or consequen
ces. The other is composed of seameu
who have been employed on vessels which
were attempting to run the blockade.
lhey were generally engaged upon the
pretext of being employed in the West
India trade, and had no idea or knowledge
of bein' concerned in acts of this charac
ter
"Then there is a third class the tra-'
ders. These arc purely mercenary. They
have been arrested and placed here for
such offenses as supplying arms aud muni
tions of war to the rebels, and wouhd sel
dom omit an opportunity for trade if
money was to be made, no matter what
was the character of the business. Gen
tlemen do not like to associate with such
men on terms cf familiarity.
"Among the gentlemen present are ex
Governor Moorehoad, Mr. Faulkner, Mr.
Smith,, Marshal Kane, the Police Com
missioners of Baltimore, &c. These arc
state prisoners, and should be confined in
a separate place. With them are others
who belong to a eub-chns respectable
men but not moving in higher circles.
The members of the Legislature of Mary
are of this character."
As he was expatiatiug upon this subject
Marshall Kaue came along and invited
oui informant to come aud see the legis
lature of Maryland at dinner. They were
seated in an oppartmeut at a plain pine
table. The food was bread with jut butter
and coffee without milk. Each man had
a tin cup, but no other table service
The Jack of these elegancies greatly
annoys the "irentlemen" at Fort Lafav
ette, and they are of the opiuion that
they ought to be immurred in nome
"respectable" place ot confinement.
They would tolerate their condition of
durance it their instincts wore better
regarded.
SHiT During the unlucky hunting tour
of the London Times' eorrepondeiit, he
was welcomed in the following terms by
an old fanner near Ilaeine: "We are glad
to see you, Mr. Russell. Hope you will
find lots of game. You can have all the
gamo you want, but you must uot, make
j:aiue of the American Eagle out here."

AN ENLISTMENT INCIDENT.'
At Newport, 11. I., recently, one of tho
companies of a new regiment was mustered
in, but several minors were rejected be
cause they could not produce the certifi
cate of consent of their parents. One
young man, the son of a widow, who
had enlisted, went to his mother with his
certificate for her signature.- She vas un
willing for him to go, and withheld her
consent; but finally, after much persua
sion, agreed upon one condition, namely,
that hei bou should thrust his finder at
random through the leaves of the closed
Bible, and the language of the text upon
which it rested should decide her action
in the matter. He did as requested, and
his finger, where the Bible was opened,
was found to rest upon the two followin
verses :
"To-morrow go ye down against them ;
behold they come up by the cliff of Ziz ;
and ye shall find them at the end of the
brook, before the wilderness of Jerusalem.
"Te shall not need to fight in this bat
tle set yourselves, stand ye still, and see
the salvation of the Lord with you. Oh
Judah and Jerusalem, fear not nor be
dismayed : to-morrow co out ao-ainst t hom -
for the Lord will be with you." 2d Book
of Chronicles, 20th chapter, lGth and 17th
verses.
Ihe mother read and consented.
THE CARNIVAL OF DEATH.
Dr. Lyon, brigade sunreon under fJn-
eral Lyon at the battle of Wilsnn
was witness to the following extraordinary
incident: A tall rebel soldier waved a
large and costly Secession flag defiantly,
when a cannon-ball struck him to the
earth, dead. A second soldier insrantlv
picked up the prostrate flair'and waved it
again a second cannon-ball shattered hi
body. A third soldier bore the flag aloft,
and a third cannon-ball crashed into hU
breast and he fell dead. Yet the fnnrtli
time was the flag raised, and the soldier
waved it, and turned to climb over the
fence to eet under cover. As he sfond
astride the fence a moment, balancing to
keen the heavy flair unrirht. a fonrfn
canuon-ball struck him in the side, cut-
ting nun completely in twj, so that one
half Of his bodv fell on one side nf h
fence and the other half on the other side.
while the flair itself lodged on the fenee.
and was captured a few minutes after
wards by our troops.
WAITED UNTIL IIE WAS READY.
When the rebels took nossession nf
Munson's Hill, even some of the nrmv
officers were alarmed, aud went to M'Clel-
laa to remonstrate ntramst his Passive con
duct in the matter. To which the shrewd
young General is said to have replied :
, . T 1 1 fTMl

is a great advantage to new troops to see '

tice, and puts them in spirits. The (Jon

The event has proved the correctness of

Pennsylvania Heserve. The regi
ments of the Pennsylvania reserve forco
are now formed into a division, and will
be known as "McCall's Division." The
division is divided into three brigades, and.
each of these made up a.s follows:
First or Reynold's Brigade First Cav
alry, Fifth, First, Second and Eighth in
fantr regiments, commanded by Brigadier
General John F. Reynolds.
Second or Mead's Brigade Kane's
Rifles, Third, Fourth, Seventh and Elev
enth infantry regiments, commanded by
Brigadier General George G. Mead.
Third Brigade Tenth, Sixth, Ninth
and Twelfth infantry regiments.
Some of the regiments have already re
ceived their new suits, and really look
quite cap-a-pie in them. The First regi
ment a lew da's ago received new amis,
eight of the companies the plain rifle
musket, and the two flank companies the
same with raised sights fo a distance of
nine hundred yards. The Fourth regiment
(Mead's Brigade) is said to have the Bel
