IN THE CARS.-A cor respondent relates the following iucideni which ,hc witnessed in the cars : t•On one seat ; was a - pale soldier, lean and weak, returning, as it proved, from ser vice in Arkansas, to be nursed by his mother, near Pittsburgh, whose only son be was. At Wellsville, most of the passengers ,got - out- for refreshment 4. Some passen gers carried fund along"and ate it in the cars, but none offered any to the soldier, who, either too, weak to .walk, or not hav ing money to spare, - sat still, silent, and alone. As the train was about starting. two middle aged ladies came in, and open ing -a basliet,,liegan to' eat a bountiful lunch. From their conversation they ap peared to.be from New England. They were richly dressed, and judging them to be aristocratic, the writer was not favora bly impressed with therm ' After a little while, one of them, casting her eye for. ward, raw the Soldier.• She stepped eat ing, and . whispering a - moment! to her companion, who nodded assent, she went forward 'and conversed: pleasantry: with the soldier, and returned for her basket, from which she supplied him liberally with the best it contained. After eating all lie desired,' she wrapped in a paper and gave him enough to last him home. After eating enough herialf, she sat.down by his' side . and `talked !'pleasimtly `With him•mest of the way to P i ittsburgh. The writer conceived that there were few dry eyes among those who .saw what passed. Was not that woman one of the true ar istocracy ? Whether the needed food or the kind manner and conversation of the lady was most refreshiOg — tO . the long time hopeless pati;o4 or whether both were not equally so, we leave the reader to decide." . .

Womm.—l do n,,t hesitate to say that the women give to every nation, a moral temperament which shows itself, in its politics. A hundred times have I seen weak men show real public virtue because they had by , their sides women who supported them not by advice as to ,particulars, but by fortifying their feel ings of duty, and by directing! their am bition. More frequently, I must confess, I have observed the domestic influence gradually transforming a man, naturally geherous, noble and unselfish, into a cow ardly, common-place, place-hunting, self seeker, thinking public business only as a means of making himself cdtufortable, .and this simply by contact with- a well .conducted woman, a faithful wife, an ex cellent mother, but from whose mind the grand notion of public duty was entirely absent.—Dc .7ocqueville. . ' SLAVERY IN MISSOURL—rNegro prop!. ertylu Missouri has depreciated, and it is said to be nearly imposssible to sell a slave anywhere in the country for one fifth the ordinary price, while every spe cies of property .has increased in value. A St. Genevieve paper reports a stampede of negroes from that county. Slaves have lung since ceased to be of value in the counties adjoining Kansas. The coun ties:in:tweet+ Kansas City and the towns in Atchison county, on the St. Louisi-side of the river are said to be patroled l by the enrolled militia to prevent the escape of slaveS horn inland counties. There were only, fourteen hundred hies in St. Louis two years ago, and the best judges no' estimate that there are less than five hun dred, and these principally - old and de; crepit house savants. JACKSON AND . FREMONT.— —Capt. Goulding, who was General PoPe's Quar termaster, and takea,..prisoner,, has , been . exchanged. Several interesting state ments Imre been made by him concern ing the treatment of the prisoners by the rebels. Be reports having, had several interviewi with Stonewall Jackson, who told him that during the entire war he had never been so bard pressed, as he was by Fremont in the Shenandoah Valley that he never was in eNcli a dangerous position as at Cross Keys and Port lie public; and he freely, admitted that he would have been captured, army, bag and baggage, bad Fremont been reinforced or supported by McDowell., SNOW IN TIIE MouNT.Atss.--Gen. Bragg's rebel army ener;untered serious difficulties in its retreat from Kentucky. Not less limn ten inches of snow had fal len in the mountain regori, and his poor ly clad and poorly shod troops were ex posed during their forced march to all the rigars of a winter campaign. The suffer ings of the rebel troops are said to have been terrible, and much sickness ensued and many lives were lost through fatigue and exposure to the inclement weather. .A, livery-itable keeper, named Spurr, would never let a horse go without re. questing the lads' not to drive, fast. One day a man called for a horse to attend a funeral: "Certainly," said Spurr; "but," he added, forgetting. the solemn purpose for which the young man wanted the horse, "don't drive fast." "Why jest loolc - a here, old fellow," said the some, what excited young man, wart you to understand that I shall keep up with the procession, if it kills the horse.f7 OF COURSE.—The Richmond paner are expressing tiler delight with the te sult of the recent elections in the Northe'rn Statei.
