THE DREAM OF THE YEAR
By•Granteilus
(THE FOURTH QUARTER.)
'Twas at days early dawning in
The autumn of the year,
When chilling winds betokened
"The winters advent near.
When gath'ring flocks of forest birds
-Are wont from many a mouth,
`To chatter forth their parting lays
And seek the " sunny South."
When crickets hie them to the hearth
Prom corning cold to shield,
And erst, the golden plovers have
Retired from the field.,
A morning sunbeam reached my couch
And beckoned roe to' rise,
But e're' I heed its silent voice
I close again mine eyes.
The' visions of imperfect views
Around me are displayed,
And as they mortal' forms assume
A Being Is.portrayed,
Upona rampant goat he sat
And dangling from his side
The empty goblet reeking hangs
That ruby wine supplied,
Upon his head a crown he wore
Of crimson autumn leaves,
The jocunedloughtnr tind the jest
liis stalwe:ri bosom heaves,
Anon he'd scatter golden grains,
Anon look grave and sober,
And draw his mantle close around
The form of " stout October."
Then followed one who bore a staff,
And from the forest trees, .
Tie struck the browri nuts In their hull
With ev'ry passink breeze.
Behind him m'a hamper, borne
By two daft rugged swains,
He brought the choicest winter fruit
Just gathered from the plains.
• Where'ere he trod; the moistened earth
fu,cryetaled hoar-frost rose,
And lulled the vegetating realm
In Winters grim 'repose.
. Clad in a leopards;apotted gard,
He bid the earth surrender, .
The empire of the seasons to
The despot;of November.
The last fell object of this scene
Tbat passed belcire my view,
Was an aged scowling man,
Dressed in a russet hue,
Around his humped shoulders hung
A shaggy coat of white,
Made nom the polar bear's rough skin,
The emblem of stern might.
His uprais'd right hand clutch'd an as,
Dia left a faggoi gnarley,
And from his belt a canteen hung,
Fill'd with " the juice of barley." .
Out from his glaring eye-balls shot
Agleam I'll e're remember ;
And from his lips a shiv'ring blast,
That whispered " old December."
Then gently as dissolving shades
Again return'd,
In roundelay
The yearly train
Thai passed away.
Dut 'all from mem'ry fades,
Except May's calm
And rosy face,
Which warms my heart
Tho' far apace
Upon times everglades.
It BAD is reported in a

that Mr. Morphy has made, and he need
not be surprised to...find himself check

Resuieed, That we deem it to be the
duty of every young unmarried man to

MARIETTA, NOVEMBER 16. 1861.
Winfield Scott.
GEN. Scott : In a letter to the Sec
retary of War, the old chieftain says :
`For more than throe years I have been
unable, from a hurt, to mount a horse
or walk more than a few paces at a time,
and that with much pain. Other and
new infirmities, dropsy and vertigo, ad
monish me that a repose of mind and
body, with the appliainces of surgery
and medicine, are necessary to add a
little more to a life already protracted
much beyond the usual span of man.—
I am compelled to request that my.
name be placed on the list of army
officers retired from active service."—
The flowing record of the old general
will be found interesting :
General Winfield Scott, was born in
Petersburg, Virginia, 13th of June, 1776,
was appointed Captain of Light Artil
ery on the 3d of May, 1808, Lieutenant
Colonel Second Artillery 6th July, 1812;

led the van, and was distinguished in
capture of Fort GeOrge, Upper Canada,
27th May, 1813 ; Brigadier General 9th
March, 1813 ; in the division of Major
General Brown on the Niagara, and com
manded one brigade which fought the
battle of Chippewa, sth July, 1814 ; bre
vet Major General "for his distinguish
ed service in the successive conflicts of
Chippewa and Niagara, and for his uni
form gallantry and good .conduct as an
officer 'in said army," 25th July, Isr4
'(September 1814) in the latter severly
wounded; received a gold medal "with
suitable emblems and devices," present
ed "in testimony of the high sense enter
tained by Congress of his distinguished
services in the successive conflicts of
of Chippewa and Niagara. and of his
uniform gallantry and good conduct in
sustaining the reputation of the arms of
the United States," 3d November, 1814;
retained Bth April 1815 ; Major General
and General-in-Chief of the Army, 25th
June, 1841 ; took command in person
of the army in Mexico December. 1846,
and made the conquest of . Mexico, from
the capture of Vera Cruze, 29th March ,
1847, to the capture of the City of Mex
ico 15th September, 1847, received the
"thanks of Congress" of March 9th, 1848,
for "uniform gallantry and good conduct
conspicuously displayed at the siege and
capture of the City of Vera Cruze and
Castle of San Juan de Ullo, March 29th,
1847 ; and in successive battles of Cerro
Gordo, April 18th, Contreras, San An
tonio, and Churbusco, August 19th and
20th. and for the victories achieved in
front of the City of Mexico, September

1847, in .which the Mexican troops,
greatly superior in numbers, and with
every advantage of position, which in
every conflict signally defeated by the
American arms ;" with tho presentation
of a gold medal "with devices emblemat
ical of the series of brilliant victories
achieved by the army"—"as a testimony
of the high sense entertained by Con
gress of his valor, skill, and judicious
conduct in the memorable campaign of
of 1847 ; and subsequently appointed
Lieutenant General of the United States
Army, the highest military rank that,
under our institutions, can be conferred
oa any citizen.
INTERESTIi6 RELICS.—The occupation
of the Fairfax Court House, alternately
by the Federal and Confederate forces
in Virginia,-has caused the almost en
tire dismantlement of the Episcopal
church at that place, so renowned for
its antiquity, and the soldiers of both
armies, when encamped there spent
much of their time in converting pieces
of the woodwork of the sacred edifice
into souvenirs for themselves and friends.
Many of these took the shape of smok
ing-pipes, and we have seen some of very
neat shape and finish. The church at
Fairfax Court House was built by Lord
Fairfax, and the pulpit and altar were
onstructed in England. In this church
and at •this -"altar, George Washington
was married. The - altar has been nearly
all cutaway, and it is mostly from the
material composing it that the pipes are
made by the souvenir seekers.
Tee Lusa BRIGADE.—CoIoneI Robert
Emmett. Patterson has been commission
ed by the Governor of the State and the
War Department, to raise the Philadel
phia regiment of the Irish Brigade.--

ANECDOTES OF STEPHEN Gilt aRD.—A
paper read by Dr. W. M. Cornell at the
last meeting of the New England Iris
torical Genealogical Society, in Boston,
gave the folloWiogioteresting Anecdotes
of Stephen Girard
Stephen Girard was the sole judgo c of
his benevolence. If rightly approached
he would give largely ; but if dictated
to or treated rudely he would not give
at, all. Samuel Coates, one of his old
friends, knew how to manage Girard,
while many who sought aid from him
were unsuccessful. Mr. Coates was one
of the managers of the " Pennsylvania
Hospital," which was therumuch in want
of funds. Ho undertook to get a dona
tion from Mr. Girard, and, meeting him
in the street, stated his object. Mr.
Girard asked him to come the next
morning.
Mr. Coated called and found 'Mr. Gi
rard at breakfast. He asked him to
take some, which Mr: Coates did.. After
breakfast, Mr. Coates said: " Well
Stephen we will proceed to business,
" Well, what have you .come for, Sam
uel?" said Mr. Girard. " Just what thee
pleases, Stephen," replied 'Mr. Coates.
Girard drew a check for $2,000, which
Mr. Coates put - in his pocket without
looking at it. " What! not look at the
check I gave you !" said Mr. Girard.—
" No, beggars must not he choosers,
Stephen," said Mr. Coates. "Hand
back the check I.gs:ve you," demanded
Girard. "No, no, Stephen; a bird in
the hand is worth two in the bush," said
Mr. Coates, "you have caught me on
the right footing."
He then drew a check for $5,000, and
presented it to Mr. Coates, observing,
" Will you look at it ?" " Well, to please
thee, Stephen, I will," said Mr. Coates:
"Now, give we the first cheek," demand
ed Mr. Girard, which was accordingly
done.
The Rev. Dr. Stoughton, an eminent
Baptist minister in Philadelphia, did
not understand Mr. Girard so well,as
Mr. Coates did. -When they were about
building their Meeting, house in Sansom
street, Dr. Stoughton called on Mr.
Girard for aid. Girard received him as
he usually did beggars, coolly but cour
teously, and gave-him a cheek for . ssoo.
Dr. Stoughton received it. with a low
bow; bat, upon examining it, expressed
his astonishment, adding,. "only $500! .
Surely you will. not. give us less than
81,000." • "Let me see the • check, -Mr.
Stoughton," said Girard ; " perhaps I
have made one mistake." Tho Dr. re
turned him the check. With the utmost
sang froid Girard tore it into fragments,
observing, Well, Mr: Stoughton, if
you will not have what I give, I will
giVe nothing." The' Dr. left him, ex
ceedingly mortified.
A NIGGTINGALE'S SONG.—One of Our
returned Soldiers who was in Virginia,
relates the following. Shortly after the
arrival of the regiment; the squad mess
ing in, a certain tent, near.a
were listeners to most beautiful music.
The unknown vocalists sang in tones so
soft, so tremulous and so melodious, that
the volunteers strained ,their oars to
drink in every note of the air. In the
day time they went by squads past the
dwelling, and up to the very gate ; but
alas they saw not that day what they
sought for. And so they lived on, each
night hearing the music repeated, 'and
when it ceased, ambition and worldly
interest went out with visions of the un
seen face. One night, as they were
gathered together, the voice struCk up
again. "By Jove !" said one, "this is
agonizing. I Cara stand' I Slie•inust
be discovered !" A dozen eager voices
took up the remark, and a certain
amorous youth was delegated to recon
noitre around, the place. He crept on
tiptoo toward the dwelling, leaped the
garden pales, and finally undisturbed,
but very pallid and remorseful, he gained
the casement and softly raising his head,
he peeped within. The room was full
of the music—ho seemed to grow blind
for the moment. Lo ! prone upon the
kitchen hearth sat' the mysterious songs-•
tress—an "ebony huge negress, scouring
a tin kettle I" The soldier's limbs sank
beneath hini, and•the discovered looking
up, said--L."Go way dar, you Boger man,
.or I'll fly de fryin' pan at yer head:!
Don't stand dar, peekin'•at this chile !"
The soldier - left, his romantic visions
dispelled..

have - his life insured, "so that when he
dies he can have something to live on
and'not be dependent oqa the cold chari
ties of the world as he ace was."

THAT SWORD : The presentation of
the sword' made by order of the Phila
delphia City Councils, took , place on
last Saturday evening. General 140-
Clellan, in receiving the sword- said.
ask you sir, to give 'my warmest and
deepest thanks to the honorable body
you represeht, for this . entirely unmerit
ed cornplimenlt. I could thank you bet
ter if I thought that I deserve ft, hut I
feel that Ido not. Nothing that Ihave
yet accomplished would warrant this
high' compliment. It is Tor the future
to decide Whether I shall realize the
expectations and hopes that have
~been
centered in me. '
trust and feel that the day is not far
distant when I shall return to the place
dearest of all others to 'me, there to
spend the balance of my life among the
people from whom I have received this
beautiful' gift. THE WAR CANNOT RE
LONO. It may be desperate. I ash in
the future forbearance, patience and con
fidence. With these we can accomplish
all : and while I know that in - the, great
drama which may have our 'hearts'
blood, that Pennsylvania will not play
the least part, I trust that, on the other
hand, she will play the highest and
noblest part.
"I again thank yon, and ask you to
convey to the Councils my most sincere
thanks for the sword. Say to them that
it will be my ambiton to deserve it
heareafter ; I know I do not now."
GEN. SCOTT'S UNSETTLED CLAIM This
searworn veteran has voluntarily retired
from his rank and duties, on account of
his physical infirmities. The act of Con
gress provided that there should be no
reduction in his pay, .subsistence or al
lowances, in the event of his withdrawal
from his command. It is well known
that General Scott has had an'unsettled
account with the WaiDepartmeni singe
the MeXican War. , Secretary Cameron
has recently given a careful examination
to his claims against the Government,
now thirteen years old. Jeff. Davis's
malignity brought him in debt, on ac
count of his expenditures and receipts
in Mexico, and, so far as a Secretary's
report could do it discredited the vetet an
as a financial agent of the Government,
and a commander of supreme authority.
Mr. Cameron has reported that General
Scott was not only entitled to the mon
eys he claimed from the Government,
but that he saved to'it millions of dol
lars which, by the laws'of war, ho could
have pocketed, tinder the settled princi
ples regulating the distribution of prize
and contribution money. This oppor
tunity of personal advantage Winfield
Scott generously diverted to the lound'-
ing of a, home foi invalid Soldiers. One
of his monuments, long after he is dead,
will be the Soidier's Home, near Wash
ington. ' '
THAT VILE TRAITOR : John C. Breck
inridge, r Senator and late Vice. Presi
dent of the United States fiaS published
a letter to the people of Kentucky, dated
Bowling Green, stating, that lie exchan
ges, "with proud sadsfaction, a term of
six years in the iJ.niie'd States s i enate
for the musket of a soldier." ' ' '
This, then, is the way in which this
double traitor fulfils the pledge solemn
ly made by him last spring that r lie would
abide by the decission of the people
, df
Kentucky. The man, who, a year ago',
was the honored representative. :of.tin
drods of thousands o,f porthermfreemeq,
as their choice for the Presidency, is now
a mark for the ,bullets of his"constituents
who fill the armies of the Union. Of all
the changes wrogght,by this.unholy war,
this is the most marked and surprising.
John , C. Breckinridge has achieved an
eternity of infamy. His treason
_is : the
blackest, because it is the most cause
less, of all 'engaged in this
andhis ingratitude to the' nation only
equalled by his , perfidy to his native
State, vihose soithe is now defiling-with
the blood of her , children.
It is said that a thunderstorm
