OM- =I Soon the Sacramento rnion,Qo J Ono sultry day, whileroridan, seated upon. a log by the roadside, was .atten tively observing the passing cohunni pail of iee water near him, attracted the 'notice of a trooper ,trudging • along. 0n,.1 foot. Wiping the perspiration from his bronzed forehead with his coat sleeve, he brusquely accosted the General, omitting even the customary salute : • Can I have a. drink of that ar water Remember_ big the severe etiquette with which offi cers. of the regular army are .wont to surround themselves, I feared the- soldier might meet with a rebuff. "Certainly, sir," said Sheridan ; "certainly," at the same time handing him a draught, and :adding a word of encouragement, which causelthe tired soldier to_go on his way Yejereing. Thus did ho endear himself - to-those --on-whom-he had-ultimately to_ , • winning of- his 'victories. Whenever he• had. occasion to' repri inroad a soldier for any dereliction of duty, his reproof was always couched in the most courteous language, and never savored of harSliness. If a trooper, tempted by a stream of running water, ' left the column for qte purpose of filling his canteen or watering hislierse, and afterward urged the animal to too groat a speed in endeavoring to overtake the same, Sheridan had only to say to him, in the mildest manner, "Walk -youle horse, sir ; walk your horse," to prevent a recurrence of the offense. If it became necessary for him to pass the column while in motion, ho never crowded or jostled any one, but worked Ids way cam e fully along the flank on that famous "black" which afterward rendered dhim such good service on the road from Win chester to Cedar Creek. Incidentally we • may add that this animal .was a remark able one of its kind, possessing wonder- , ful powers of endurance. Scarcely one of the horses of - Sheridan's staff could keep pace , with him while he walked, without striking the trot. , Any service ;which contributed to the general result Sheridan did not regard as degrading, oven to the commanding gen , oral. Thus for hours I have seen him, with his chief of .staff, holding an inse cure plank in its place until all his oily , •• airy had passed over the bridge. On an other Obeasion, while watching the move ments of a Party engaged in destroying a lock of the James River Canal, .1 could detect a sympathetic inclination of his• body, corresponding to the oscillations . of Sit) gate as it yielded. to the axes and ' levers of the destroying party. His for tility of resources in overcoming obsta cles was rematkablo. Every command ' operating indePondently should have at tached to it an officer-of-the-corps-of-en . -- gineers ; I do not remember that Sheri ', idan had such an officer oil his Staff. In the-Spring of 1865, an officer havingleen - sent out from Petersburg with a-pontoon ' -train for the purpose of-bridging the Dau • and Staunton rivers in order to fasilittite the_movements of Sheridan's troopers in • the direction of North Carolina; repotted that, hit some unaccountable' manner, Sheridan had' got across both rivers, and • , only availed himself ,of the ponthonu er „ his return. In regard, to couteMplated ouniemehts Sheridan was extremely reticent ; with the exception of his chief of staff he ,sel_ doe confided hie' 'plans to any one, and, •ins a Consequence, they wore seldOm be : trayed.' . . While,, raiding across the country lie ' moved his command with so much color, ity that it was almost impossible for the ' rebel-authorities to keep informed whereabouts: Thus, in the Spring , of , - '65, When reported at Richmond tit night .as inoving,po Lynchhtheg t the fOlow . - woill4.4o.nsknifdlog 2 kzansight Of AMP advande ghWd sixty miles'menier Rich= , The - affection existing- - bet7cen Sheii dan,and the men serving under him wars . unbounded and reciprocal.

His influence over the soldiers, under prosperons or adverse circum stances, was marvelous beyond compro liension. I believe Ido Stbt overrate in saying that his appearane3 on .the field v. , 4 equivalent in a reinforcement of 10,000 muskets, At the commencement of the battle of Winelieter he rode along in front of the infantry Hiles, talking familiarly with the men, encouraging them in the porforni. anon of duty, and add hig,, in a confident ial tone, "We are going to whip Early to -day." %INever (Want . dispatched Sheridan upon any special service he had the ,sat-' isfaction of knowing in advance that, if within dhe range of possilVityegis in structions would ho carried out, for Sher- Idarl never allowed himself to he dis heartened-by the most untoward event; and when disasters accumulated and ae . - featseemed imminent, he Was only stim ulated to put forth still greater 'efforts. I never saw *ear pertubed look but pace. 'At Trevillian Station, in the summer of 1804, he routed, the , enemy's cavalry on the first day, only to encoun ter a. larger ; force of infantry, sent up from Gordonsville by rail at night.• All efforts to dislodge them from a position taken behind a railroad - embankment were ineffectual, though charge after charge was made with almost-superhu man, valor. Late at night Sheridan withdrew his cavalry and retired across North Anna. In the early dawn, as he stood by the roadside watching his env alry filing past loin, I could see in his flashing eye and compressed lips indica tions of his determination presently to reverse the situation—he the pursuer aild - Early the pursued, ni•hich was so signally realized at 'Winchester and Cedar Creek. Possiissing, an unmitigated hatted for the enemies of his country, he never dig nified the rebel tatterdemaliontiOPMed to him with the name of soldiers, al though they fought with a courage that could not fail to command respect,-and witli a zeal worthy - of a better cause, Hits most complimentary allusion was to characterize them as militia. If, while on the march, the "advance" encoun tered serious opposition from the enemy lurking among the pines, Sheridan would say to ono of .his ‘tiff, with some show of irritation, "Ride'cover to Gene ral , and tell him to drive those peo ple out of the woods. " Once routed, they were allowed no - tespite - in their flight ; at every ravine s was to be seen a brokendoWn wagon or.-abandonedcais taiu„.:WitikAgJPßAr.f9,l:...iP49§79lbc strewn with tar buckets, camp kettles, cook imp, utensils, and other cumbersome rapharnalia of the rebel quartermastei• and commissary departments. In the Shenandoah Valley—Early put Lo flight at Five Forks, Picket's division captured or annihilated—Sheridan was always to be seen in the van, rushing after the enemy with the t . ipeed of the wind. Scarcely had Lee begun his frofn the rebel capital when Sheridan ap peared upon his flanks as his evil genius, sweeping down upon his train from every cross road and by path, unlopaing •his -dinnountipg , -his artillery and ove,rtinmingliie baggaghwadons. With half his annY.6ifiloyed,as train guard, ho could scarcely ward elf these constant attacks, until, arriving at Appomattox Court house, on the eve of April 8, ho NWS relieved of all father anxiety con cerning his train by the sight of the heavens lighted up by a great conflagra tion. So absorbed was Sheridan in time of battle that neither shot nor shell, how ever close its pro)OmitY , to,lihn in its could ever disturb his equanimity. At Metidow Bridge, our men were thrown into some confusion by the burst ing of torpedoes under the horses' feet. Aside from enjoining steadiness on the part of the men, Sheridan paid no at tention whatever to the affair. At Cedar Creek a solid shot, passing only a foot above his head, failed to attract from him the slightest nod of recognition. • I never saw Sheridan more in hisele inent than at Appomattox Court House, on the ninth of April, 1805. In the countenance' of every soldier .I could see_ the confident expectation that we were to in a great' and decisivo victory on that day ; yet none of us realized that the end was so near,.., Sheridan's fea tures likewise wore a wonderful look of agimation as the long linos of Federal infantry swept over the hills, encircling tlio ,array of Leo. A hundred pieces of artillery in position on the surroUnding height's were frowning upon the devot. : ed army of Northern Virginia, and everything betokened a terrific struggle; when suddonly the stillness of the Sab bath succeeded the roar of artillery and rattle of musketery,.and our aide-calup rode along the:lines of bearing the joy- Sul intelligence of a cessation of hostili ties, and of a desire on the pai:t of Leo to treat. for terms of surrender. Even then the -indefatigable cavalry commander_directed—that—the—caissons and catridgo boTes of .the men be. , re plenished with ammunition, as a contin gency against the failure of the two . Gen earls is coming to terms. Happily, the ochasion tousoig never arrived. That Sheridan was a difficult com mander to servo under may be. readily inferred, for realizing the value of *a nimas of , time, and. the necesity of prompt and enorgetiC action, ho exacted freM his subordinates all that human agencis of ild acaomplishl .auZi if any ono faiied; , Or tardily performed the part Assigneddid not hesitate to re move him mimmarily from ; his 'com mand. - Whether hinny of these cases' he May or may not have erred, it will be charitablo•to Consider that ho Keted fromi the best of motives,. 'namely, the success of the Union dame., On the other hand, those -who :distinguished. thenisolvos on' the field Le rewarded with rapid promo tion, and with-ovory other favor it ,was in his power to bestow. Iriconclusion, let us refer-to , the bat .h.a.g,ave convincing proof of • genius .as a military' commandor. -The sudden surprise of the morning and thobayoriet ingof ilfo Eighth Corps men in. Omir tents must be recalled'. to mind.,:jn „a short time the entire 'Union army was worsted and forced back a Milo beyond 311,iddletoiM. At 'noon - of- October 10, the situation was appalling. Bald a soldier afterward : "I thought at. the timo that no ono short-of the of. mankind could over convert that. defeat I into a victory."-, Only the day, before remembered hiving despatched a •16tter. to friends at the North, expressing'a be lief in our ability to cope successfully -wall, our_adversaries ; I—wished at I tim , moment that X had IhendetWsed letter in my pocket. .On the Rebel side.:there was joy and exultation ; on: our side gloom and dosPondency.,... '.. At this juncture Sheridan . appeared upon the field, having ridden tip in hot 'haste f.om Winchester. Never before did so much depend upon one' men i ' for with him alone rested the - safety , of thousands of precious lived, the : preser vation of his army, and the security of the Federal Capital. Yet he watt equal to the emergency. Making-his way to. General Wliglit's headquarters, - ho in-' quired eagerly after the situation,. and received ' , ,the despondent answer ; "Gen eral, I fear the battle is going . against us." " What !" said' Sheridan, his face turning livid with indignation, "Early whip my three .corps of infantry and: all my cavalry ; ho cannot do it. , Before night we shall hive all our camps back again; and Early will get the worst • whipping ever 'ho had l" "Sheridan has come !" leaped from lip to lip along the line, and the men, no longerretreat= ' ing,' seemed ' inspired with sudden courage, as tho l ugh by the advent of one w man, victory as already assured. For two hours there was a lull in the, battle, while the stragglers returned again to their commands. Then 'Sheridan ,pre pared to carry into execution the plans ho had already formed.. First, he sends Custer with his division of cavalry to the extreme right, with instructions to ' hurl his cavalry upon a limited, portion of the enemy's lino, to vex, harass and distress it, until he shall succeed in cre ating a panic, when Sheridan, with the rest of his forces, will see that his panic shall comnumicate itself along the entire line. The plan,, simple in its concep tion, was successful beyond the expecta tion of the Commanding General - him self. The signal having been given, Custer, ordering his men to draw sabre, hurled his entire division with irresisti ble fury against-the Rebel left, sabering the men without Mercy; and trampling them under foot. The Sixth Corps sprang forward as if impelled from the cannon's mouth. The other corps vied with. it in impetuosity._ It seemed hardly creditable that the men who worn so badly beaten in the Morning were the same who made that magnificent charge in the afternoon. The enemy open on the charging column With flity pieces of artillery. . With' surprising precision shells weic hurled into the solid masses of infantry, . scattering and lifting mangled corpses liiih, in the air. The Federal batteries likewise were not idle. Across the hills and down the pike they closely followed. Sheridan, seeing ono in an advantageous position, .turned to, ono of his aide add said : "Ride dowp to Captain—, and tell him to fire , fast er, faster 1" - The message having been delivered the detonations were almost without interval. Only once did our men falter, when subjected to a murder- - ous fire from the enemy posted behind a' stone wall_ The _survivors- pushed - on and dislodged them with the bayonet. The enemy-no-longer--maile-a-standT-Tlie panic-strikenMen wore alike indifferent to the threats and entreaties of their officers. A miserable rabble, they throw themselves into the stream, and hurried on through Strasburg into tho mountains with Sheridan's troops close upon them. Over forty pieces of artillerf fell into our hands. The cavalry' were occupied until a late hour in securing these trophies. An officer of my brigade, fearing 'a re capture, rode back to Sheridan's head quarters, - when the following dialogue ensued : ;.,- ' Captain—" General, I have come back to ask for a brigade of infantry to help hold the captured ayCll rp, of which, I .believe; we have at least thirty pieces." Sheridan—" I don't believe it. Who are you?" • . Captaiii—" Captain Britton, of the First NeW York Dragoons. General, I. believe we have over forty•pioces." Sheridan—" Captain; you shall have two brigades, Can any,one of-my stair furnish this officer with something to drink ?" Custer having come tip shortly after ward to report his wonderful success, Sheridan caught him in his , arms, em braced him, and then wrestled with him with all the playfulness of a child. Wo had nothing to eat that night nor the next day, for our supply trains wore far to the rear, but streiigo to say, we were not hungry. If we had suffered a ,de feat, I have no • doubt we would have been afflicted with a voraciops appetite. Sheridan has alrba . dlWO - ii - for himself a place in history, as well'at in the affec tions of the people. If he should. over 'revisit 'this coast, without doubt he would receive such all ovation at the hands• of the people as no other man ever reefflved.

At a little before 10 o'clock 'elic'aSednded the Speaker's ros trum and Proceeded, in a manner wor thy of Henryßailey in hispalmiest days,. to sell the State; One Senator-=Lid, 415- 000,000, and. another $17,000,060 ?

Mrs. Thurston declared =that she would not-remove from her place, 'and especially that she would not be'removed by force. The messengers securedolidi.,' and at tempted to remove her. ; She made eon-, Biddable resistance, and said that she would move if the officers -would let her alone, but the latter were again ordered by the clerk to secure the desk and pro dna order, so that ifie organization of thellouse- might bd proceeded with. The members begatt.to beg Mrs. Thurs ton to go out quietly.- Some members began to be greatly excited, and the feel ing was decidedly unpleasant all around. It was indeed sad to see a. wOman in so humiliating a position. She grasped the face of one of the members very fiercely, and only through the, nterposition of Mr. Vinton, of Gray, and some other gentlemen, of Portland, Mrs. Thurston Was at last persuqded to retire to the Secretary's room, but the unpleasant feeling was so girt the prayer :of Rev. Dr. Bingham, which' was the first ser vice of the organization was hardly lis tened to, in spirit at least.„ By- degrees . the feeling subsided, .• hut before the morning session closed the subject was taken up at 'every dinner"table in the town, and the matter: was universally re gretted by all as a Very - unfortunate Cir cumstance, 'because the subject of it was a woman, and one - who',is deemed to be demented upon one cubjeet, although per fectly sane upon all others. " Mrs. Thurston was • afterwards invited to go to dinner at_tho Central 'bine. by Colonel Drew, Secretary of State, who• said that Mr. Harris, the polite Superin. 7. tendent of the State Buildings, Should bo kept in. as keeper of the 'State property, in trust for Mrs. Thurston, or the right. ful owner thereof::: We eavr-Mrs. Thurs ton in the State Library-intho afternoon, still looking up le - gal authoiities, and her friends tried to.porsuade her to return to morrow. .

He is usually there from five to half-,past five in - the afternoon. On the morning visits, he consults with Mr. Tellur, the general superintendent, and never fails to go over the entire estab lishment, tcf gain a personal knowledge of its eo9dition. He inquires of the clerks hoiv articles are selling. and stores away the answers it his memory ; and when he finds any lino of goods a drug, he' orders thorn marked down, saying, "Let us see. if people will take them at. that." If they do .not, ho orders a fur ther reduction ; for it - is an inexorable' rule with him, not to carry dead stock. It has been said of him, that he would rather give goods away outright, than carry them over a season ; but it has not been assorted that he was ever reduced to that extremity. Ho avoids it in the first-- instance,- - perhaps, by this 'direct personal charge of his retail house. Ho knows 'every day exactly what'is in it, -and exactly how every thing in it is sell ing ; and ho is greatly aided iq getting lid of goods of questionable pattern by his intuitive knowledge of the finctuations of popular taste.

TWO weeks earlier indications of frost wore seen. The apprehousions i wore general that no core would ripen, but fine Rummeriveath 7 er followed, continuing throughout' Sep tember and part of October, with occa sional rains, ripening the crop very fully in some places, and in others leaving it in partial immaturity. .On the warnr slopes and good soil of Addison county, Vt., and. similar lands, the quality is equal to that of the besecrops of former yearS, while in Orleans county the qudli ty was inferior, though, the quantity was an average. The crop of New England will be less than that of last year by about one-eight . per Cont. The severe &Ought of .luly and August, 'prevalent along the Atlantic coast, affected corn injuriouSly, but the favorable weather of later months great ly relieved the seVerity of the injury. In New Jerse4nd Maryland, and some por tions of Pennsylvania, came reports of immaturity, 'while'a gen Oral 'assurance is given . of a larger quantity and a better quiantity than was expected in the sum mer. Virginia suffered severely by the drought. The drought was severe in North Car olina, reducing the crop materially as a whole. --- In Smitli-Carolin a- and-, Georgia ! the long session of hot and dry weather reduced materially the yield in the ag gregate, and the same variation in differ ent circumstances of soil and- culture as in States farther North. The crop of Al abama and that of Mississippi suffered still-less,. yet it is not an average one. Texas shoWs an increase in some coun ties. The October freeze injured corn in some parts of Kentucky, both in the field and in tho,shoek, and wet weather was the lost-in - the low lands. In Missouri the crop was gen . erally fine. The ag gregate of tho crop exceeds that of last year,. and the quality is good.- A reduc tion of 17 per sent is indicated iu Illi nois. The wet spring and Cool summer delayed the ripening, and although there . were uo severe carry frosts, - the fit - Caine weather in Octoberfound much of the crop imperfectly naB4u:ed., In Michigan, 'Ms - col - Nib, ' Minnesota, .and lowa the reduction in quality is still greater. The only States reporting an in - atifs - O - Ofiruatititritro; -- MinnesotaTTet= as, Missouri, Florida, Kansas, and Cali fornia. Louisiana and.lowa have nearly an-avoinge. The principal' corn growing section of of the - West, will average a reduction=;of at least 20 per cent. With all the in crease of farmers to 'produce and popu lation to and with an actual on larging of au area under culture, it' is certain that there was actually less corn produced thisyear than in }BGB. Cotton.'-The drought of the Atlantic coast wac far less injurious to cottongtair to corn. Superior cotton soils, well` cul tivated, rarely suffers for want of rain. Inftrior, shallow, and neglected:soils, which produce small crops under the most favorable weather, are' often-. in jured, and in the present season have, in many cases yielded meagre returns fOr the little labor expended. Everywhere the average planted is greater than last yeari , The product per acre in the sea washed States is materially less, with very few exceptions. The use of fertilizers has largely increased the yields of :those States ; has given ,a bettor stand in fields where the Omit had a feeble start, and stimulated to rapid growth and early ma turity. In 'olio experiment repOrted, the first picking of plantS fed with guano, yielded, -September 11, a ten fold increase over a similar area of undressed soil, and at the end of the season the enriched soil had produced-double-the amount-of that enriched. The grasshoppers in some parts of Teims injured that cotton that bad been planted late. The culture hi Texas ts.exteMling far beyond its limit in 1860.- One county, which made no return at date, returning . 4,800 bales, and othoilg producing it,-,Tor the first time, average 300 pounds per acre.

So it is in.our houses. The moisture of the air in our rooms touches the cold glass, and trying to 'crystalize, makes the curious frost work on our windows • every cold morning in winter. ' A singular appearance is sometimes' noticed on rocks by the road side, and on the brick walls of houses, when in win ter there is a sudden change from. cold weather to warm. As the, stones and bricks are still freezing cold after the air has become warm, they condense and al= so freeze the moisture of the air, and ar-. ray themselves in a snow white garment of frost. Schelars in school are often troubled on winter mornings, "by the - frost coming out of their slates," as they call it. The slates are So wet that the pencil .marks cannot be seen. The moisture on the slate, like the frost 'on the brick wall, is caused, not by the frost, or by any thing- else - -coming -out- of-- themi but rather by the heat of the air going into them. This leaves the vapor in the air to settle upon therd in the ships of dew or Trost.— • A large collection of frost is often seen upin the heads of nails, while uo frost appears on the wood around the nails.

THE LOSS OF BEAUTY. .I know it is sad to be young, fresh, and attractive, and in a few years to be old, faded, and forlorn, with a weight of care never lifted from the aching Shoulders, and the duties of six pressing upon a foeblo pair of hands.

We subjoin such portions of it as appear to us to possess most'gonoral interest: PATENTED AND UNPATENTED LANDS During six years, embracing the period since the passage of the acts of twentieth of May; 1804, the records show that four thousand six hundred and thirty . (4,630) tracts of land liave, been, patented, and that the sum of two hundred and twenty nine, thousand five hundred and forty dol lars and. six cents 0220,840.00) was paid' into the State Treasury through this de partment, as Ugaiiist twelve hundred and eighteen tracts patented, and sixty-eight .thousand seven hUndred and sixty-three dollars and fifty-seven cents ($08,768.57) paid in during the six years preceding 1804. This augurs well for the present sys tem of collecting these accounts, for if the bare publication of the laur has brought about so much activity, on the subject of patented lands, it is but reii sonablo to expelfi that the lien-dockets, which bring the matter home to the peo- Ple;, as they,do, by showing what tracts are unpatented, will cause the great body of owners of unpatented lands to liquidate the amountsdue the State: The act .?f eighth of April, 1800, which restrains the Attorney General from pro ceeding to collect the liens under the sev enth section of the act of twentieth May, 1804, for ono year from the date at which tho "county land lien dockets" 'aro' for warded to the counties, respectively, was eminently, just and proper, hepause it gives those interested-ample-time to pre pare.their cdses, and send in their appli cations, and receive their patents, with out incurring the additional cost that a suit in the courts of Dauphin county would impose upon them. But-it--is-not thought,that it would be to the best in terest of either the State or the debtor to extend tho time thus limited. To do so, would bo but to repeat, in another form, the history or the 'act of' - 1830, tor would induce procrastination, dud excite hopes that still further extension o ime or easier terms would be offered., The mode now adopted for the collection of these liens is believed to be the best that has been devised; and a few years of' ac tive and earnest enforceinent of it will wipe out, do far as can be done, this long deferred and unfinished business. TIIE PAYMENT OP LAND CLUES What may have been the controlling motive of the State for its long-cohtinued forbearance in the past cannot now be certainly known, though it can be readi ly conceived thatbefore the developement oftlie resources of tlilTCommonwenith by a system of public improvements, and be fore the notivork of .railroads were con structed, which neiii afford difeet means of cominunication to almost every county when money was very difficult to be 2 4ttiined, and the farmer able to do but little more than make a living in the sparsely settled districts—the lumber and mineral-lauds almost valueless, because scarcely any progress had been made to welds making.ayailable the wealth con-. tained in them, there were strong reasons for allowing time to the.otems to fUlfill the contracts made with the State for their lands. And, further, it is true that the lands remained a 'guarantee fOr the ultimate payment of the claims against theM, besides, the amounts in particular cases, as a rule, were small, with the ex ception of the accounts against what are technically, known as " Applications"„ and "Actual Settlentents," on which not ono dollar, in most instances, has over been pftid. But now that the lands have appreciated in Value to such an extent that tho original price of them, oven where the whole of it rromnins unpaid- (and the proportion of such cases to the whole number of liens is' very small,) is scarcely an item when compared with -their pres ent value, there can be no reason, either in equity or public policy, why payment should not be made and the titles fully completed. How manifest and striking the difference between the' leniency of the State towards those owing her on no 'count of lands, and the rigorous collec tion of claims against'other defaulting debtors! Many additional reasons might be ad duced why these long deferreil claims should be settled, not the least of 'which is the necessity and cost of maintaiini a ; this department. If the necessary Meas ures should be adopted, and the laws vig orously enforced, I can see np valid rea son—why all the accountsv of every char= actor should aft be efitircly;l3 rZed in four or five years, the department,- as such, closed, and the building and ice sufficient number of clerks •to furnish Oficial .copies, placed under the control of somo other department of the State Government. • I= The following regulations relative to, issiiing patents are published for the in information-and-guidance-of—owners-a: nupatented lands.
