Of all amusements for the mind,
Prom logic down to fishing,
There isn't one that you can find
So very cheap as "wishing."
A very choice diversion, too,
If we but rightly use it,
And not, as we are apt to do,
Pervert it and abuse it.
I wish—a common wish, indeed—
My purse was something fatter ;
That I might cheer the child of need,
And not my pride to flatter;
That I might make oppression reel
As only gold can make it,
And break the tyrant's rod of steel
As only gold can break it.
I wish—that sympathy and love,
And every human passion
That has its origin above,
Would come and keep in fashion ;
That scorn, and jealousy, and hate,
And every base emotion,
Were buried fifty fa t thoms deep,
Beneath the waves of ocean !
I wish—that friends were always true,
And motives always pure ;
I wish the good were not so few,
wish the bad were fewer;
wish that persons ne'er forgot '
To heed their pious teachings ;
I wish that practicing was not
So different from preaching.
I wish—that modest worth might be
. Appraised with truth and candor;
I wish that innocence were free
From treachery and slander;
wish that men their tows would mind,
That women ne'er were rovers ;
I wish that wives were always kind,
•And husbands always lovers.
I wish—in one—that joy and mirth,
And every good ideal.
May come, ere while, throughout the

To be the glorious real;
Till God shall every creature bless

WHAT WE LOVE A WOMAN FORT Some
one, speaking of a beautiful girl with en
thusiasm, said he was almost in love
with her, though her understanding was,
by.no means, brilliant. "Pooh !" said
Goethe, laughing, "as if love had any
thing to do with understanding ! We
love a girl for very different things than
understanding. We love her for her
beauty, her youth, her mirth, her confid
lngness, her character, with it% faults,
caprices, and heaven knows what other
inexpressible charms ; but we do not
love her understanding. . Her mind we
esteem ( if it is brilliant,) and it may
elevate her in our opinion . ;
. nay, more,
it may enchain us when we already love.
ji
But her understanding is not that whie
awakens and inflames our passions..
SWISS SYMPATHY. -A lady who resides
in New York, had a letter recently
from her mother, which states that reg
ularly in the church she attends, prayers
are made every Sunday for the 5t106398
of the North in its struggle against , a
wicked' rebellion, - for the continued
health of President Lincoln, and for the
speedy extinction of every vestige of
slavery from the great American repub-
lie. This is a beautiful and touching
incident, showing bow the hearts of the
honest lovers of liberty everywhere go
with ns, while the defenders of slavery,
inequality, and inhumanity Garry their
sympathies to the other aide.

MARIETTA, SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 15, 1865.
Local NiMary Remixtioences.
Mr. Editor.—l regret that the "local
military reminicenses" of Marietta could
not have been published in a regular
consecution, or chronological series; in
which case, a list of the volunteers and
drafted men of 1812 outside of Capt.
Grosh's company, would have preceded
the muster roll of the "BLUES." But
this perhaps, under the circumstances,
was unavoidable; Now that the chro
nological chain is broken, it may be al
lowable to publish the rolls of later or
ganizations. Contemporary with the
"Putixertvame GRAYS"- 7 .4 light infant
ry corps—were the "DONEGAL RANGERS"
a rifle corps ; but, before publishing the
muster rolls of either of these, that of
the "WASHINGTON Gasys"—a prior mil
itary organization—ought to perhaps
more properly be Bret published. 1 do
not know where you would be likely to
procure a roll of the members of this
company, for 1 have forgotten who was
the orderly sergeant of it, but I think it
was' either S. D. Miller, Robt. /McDow
ell or Jos. Bucher, jr. One of the du
ties of the orderly, or Ist. Sergeant was
to call the roll on days of parade,. and
hence I have inferred, that if a roll is
extant, it would be more likely to be in
possession of that officer than any one
else, who ever he might have been.
The "WASHINGTON GRAYS" were or
ganized by Col. Joel Baker, Brigade
Inspector, in the borough of Marietta,
in the modth of March or April 1830.
The company had a short and inharmo
nious life, and came to a sudden and rath
er stormy close, after a morbid existence
of about one year. I was yet in my ap
prenticeship and not eighteen years of
age, when I was some how so far mes
merized by aspirants for office, as to en
roll my name among its membership ;
for I did not inherit from my parentage,
nor had I at that time, any special love
for soldiering. What ever I may have
afterwards manifested was the result of
the peculiar circumstances in which I
was placed ; and then it` was only in
the most temporary and external region
of my mental constitution, for it soon
became so far dissipated as to be al
most beyond the possibility of recall.
I am compelled to make this confession,
even at the hazard of being regarded
unpatriotic, and yet, I feel that if inex
orable necessity required it, I could and
would take up arms in defense of my
country and family at any odds.
After the legal organization of the
"WASHINGTON GRAYS," came the elec
tion of its commissioned officers, and in
this event was involved all the discord_
ant elements which were finally the
cause of its precipitate dissolution.
Prior to this period the leading men of
t i e company seemed to be working har
moniously as well as zealously, for the
accomplishment, of a common end i llut in
reality only for the gratification of indi
vidual ambitions. There were two
tickets in the field, as hostile to each
other as could well be imagined, where
the "bone of contention" was so insig
nificant—too hostile by far ever to blend
into an orderly and harmonious 'whole.
This hostility was based upon strong
personal feeling in a great measure, bat
doubtless also something of it might be
attributed to intolerant political bias.
I do not pretend to pass an opinion
upon the merits of the question. I was
too young and inexperienced to see its
merits at that time, and the event hap
pened too long ago for me to remember
had I even seen and recognized them.
t was about the period / when Antimason
ry swept like a political tornado over
• ur County and State, and the noble in
etitution of Masonry stood, for a time
`shivering in its boots." On the one
ticket were the names of Saml. D. • Mil
ler for Captain, Jno. Hutzler for Ist
Lieut. and Jno. Park for 2nd. Lient.
These three gentlemen were all zealous
AntimesOns. Ido not say that they
offered themselves as partizan candi
dates on this occasion, or that they were
supported as such. In addition to their
other qualifications and merits, Messrs.
Miller and Hertzler had been commis
sioned officers in the "Otn Bums," and
the former had served in the war of
1812. On the other ticket were the
names of John Flury for Captain, Jacob
Glatt for Ist Lieut., end Robert Mc-
Dowell for 2nd. Lieut. Two of these
candidates were masons—the one a
"Royal Arch" at that, and the othet
was what in - those days was called- by
their political opponents it "Jack"—
that is, an outside, and of course a blind
and obstinate, sustainer of the institu
tion, in their eyes.
Be these things as they may, of one
thing there can be no doubt; the Mil-
ler ticket was, mainly supported by what
we youngsters regarded as the "Old Fo
gies" of the company ; whilst the Flury
ticket was supported by impulsive
"Young America." If any man at this
late day were to make the charge that
Capt. Flury bought the votes that elect
ed him, I would rather let the world be
lieve it than to go to 'the trouble to
hunt proof to establish the contrary,
and yet I could net say that he did do
so. At all events Young America tri
umphed and nary was elected Captain,
but the triumph was greatly diminished
when it was found that Glatz and Mc-
Dowell were defeated, and Hertzler and
Park elected in their stead. Had either
of the tickets been elected entire, the
company would doubtless have gone
through its regular term under their
command. On both sides there were
men who had joined the company mere
ly to vote for their favorite candidates
—at least they never uniformed and
equipped themselves, and perhaps from
the beginning, never intended to do so.
Several of these subsequently received
an honorable discharge from the two
Lieutenants, they being a majority of
the commissioned officers. This Bred
the Capt. into a blaze of wrathy indig
nation, and he immediately placed them
under arrest, and called a "Court of In
quiry" or a "Court Martial," I forget
which. It subsequently transpired that
a majority of the commissioned of f icers
had a clear right to grant discharges for
sufficient cause ; and deeming that such
cause could be made manifest, they in
turn placed the Captain under arrest,
on a charge of a false and malicious ar
rest of themselves Through all these
troubles Young America stuck to the
Capt. and whether right or wrong, sym
pathized with him. Proceedings in
both cases were however forestalled by
the Captain calling a meeting of the.
company, at which one of his friends of
fered a resolution that the military or
ganization in Marietta known as the
"WASHINGTON Gruys" do now disband
and adjourn sine die ; which was carried
by two-thirds of the members present,
agreeably to. the By-laws, and then and
there it died.
It was ushered into being in a state
of feverish excitement, and during its
continuance it was in a constant state
of einbarrassment and irritation, and it
finally went out of existence in a high
convulsive spasm.
Out of this event grew two simulta
neous military organizations in Mariet
ta; namely, the "PENNSYLVANIA GRAYS"
—retaining the distinctive uniform and
equipments of the "WASHINGTON GRAYS"
—and the "DONEGAL RANGERS," clad in
green, trimmed with yellow.
If a muster roll of the "WASHINGTON
GRAYS" is not obtainable, the publica
tion of the rolls of the two companies
formed out of it, would comprise all, or
nearly all, of its original members. I
cannot think of but two or three of its
original members, who did not after
wards unite with the and or the other
of the new organizations, besides many
joined them who did not belong to the
former.
The list of officers of the "WAsigna-
ToN . GRAYS," as nearly as I can now re
'collect, were as follows :
Captain, John Fiery.
lst Lieut. John Hertzler.
2nd Lieut. John Park.
let Sergt. Robert McDowell.
2nd do, WUlliam Swords, ( color bear
.
er. )
3rd do Joseph Bucher.
4th do John Barr,
let Corp. J. B. Rogers.
2nd do Jas. Swords.
3rd do . John Coyle.
4th do Samuel Allgeler.
Drummer S. McClellan.
Fifer Richard aickie.
Bass Drum S. S. Rathvon.
So far as concerns the musicians,
those named were only improvised, for
usually the musicians were gotten from
other places ; for inatance,from Wrights
ville, from Elizabethtown and Lancas
ter city. The tenor-drummer however,
afterwards, became quite an expert at
the business; bat the bass-drummer
soon thaew up the instrument in disgust,
after having cultivated two pair of large
blisters on his hands and heels whilst
playing during a Militia Regimental
training at Springville, on a hot day in
the month of May. As fin' "poor Rich
ard," his filing always sounded like the
low key of a chestnut whistle, and when
the drums " struck in" or "struck up,"
you could hear no more of it than you
could of a whisper in a thunderstorm.
On some future occasion I will con,
film these reminisences by giving yon
the Muster Roll and a historical'sketch
of the "PENNSYLVANIA GRAYS," and per_
haps some others. S. S. R.
CONFESSION :—Roberfr. Cobb Kennedy,
who was hung a few days since for being
a rebel spy and one of the fiends who
attempted to fire the New York Hotels
made the following confession the night
before he was hung. The confession
was made in the presence of Lieut-Col.
Martin Burke.
After my escape from Johnson's
Island I went to Canada. where I met a
number of confederates. They asked
me if I was willing to go on an expedi
tion. I replied "Yes, if it is in the
service of my country." They said "It's
all right," but gave no intimation of its
nature, nor did I ask for any. I was
then sent to New York, where I stayed
some time. There were eight men in
our party, of whom two fled to Canada.
After we had been in New York three
weeks we were told that the object of
the expedition was to retaliate on the
north for the atrocities in the Shenan
doah valley. It was . designed to set
fire to the city on the night of the
Presidential election, but the phosphor
us was not ready, and it was put off un
til the 25th. of November.
I was stopping at the Belmont House
but moved into Prince street. I set
fire to four places—Barnum's Museum,
Lovejoy's Hotel, Tammany Hotel, and
the New England House. The others
only started fires in the house where
each was lodging, and then ran off.
Had they all done as I did, we would
have had thirty-two fires, and played a
huge joke on the Fire Department. I
knew that I am to be hung for setting
fire to Barnum's Museum, bat that was
only a joke. I had no idea of doing it.
I had been drinking and went in there
with a friend, and, just to scare the
people, I emptied a bottle of phosphor
us on the floor. We knew it wouldn't
set fire to the wood, for we had tried it
before, and at one time. had concluded
to give the whole thing up.
There was no fiendishness about it.
After setting fire to my four places I
walked the streets all night, and went
to the Exchange Hotel early in the
morning. We all met there that morn
ing and the next night. My friend and
I had rooms there, but we sat in the of
fice nearly all the time reading the pa
pers while we were watched by the de
tectives, of whom the hotel was full. I
expected to die then, and if I bad it
would have been all right ; but now it
seems rather hard. I escaped to Cana
da, and was glad enough when I crossed
the bridge in safety.
I desired, however, to return to my
command, and started with my friend
for the confederacy, via Detroit. Just
before entering the city he received an
intimation that the detectives were on
the lookout for us, and giving me a sig
nal, he jumped from the cars. I didn't
notice the signal, but kept on, and was
arrested in the depot.
I wish to say that killing women and
children was the last thing thought of.
We wanted to let the people of the
north understand that there are two
sides to this war, and that they can't be
rolling in wealth and comfort while we
at the south are bearing all the hard
ships and privations.
In retaliation for Sheridan's atroci
ties in the Shenandoah valley, we de
sired to destroy property, not the lives
of women and children, although that
would of course have followed in its
train.

The Strasburg Clock
The priests and military have retired,
and I am now sitting in a chair facing
the gigantic clock—from bottom to the
top not less than one hundred feet, and
about thirty feet wide and fifteen feet
deep. Around me are many strangers
waiting to see the working of this clock,
as it strikes the hour of noon. It wants
five minutes to twelve. The clock has
struck, and the people are gone, except
a few whom the sexton or head man,
with a wand and sword, is conducting
round the building.
The clock has struck in this way.
The dial is some twenty feet from the
floor, and on each side of which is a
cherub or a little boy with a mallet, and
over the dial is a small bell. The cher
ub on the left strikes the first quarter,
that on the right the second quarter.
Some fifty feet above the dial, in a large
niche, is a huge figure of Time, a bell
in his left, a scythe in his right hand.
In front stands a figure of a young man
with a mallet, who l strikes the third
quarter on the bell in the hand of Time,
and then turns and glides, with a slow
step, round behind Time, and then
comes out an old man with a mallet and
places himself in front.
As the hour of twelve comes, the old
man raises his mallet and deliberately
strikes twelve times on the bell, that
echoes through the region of the church.
The old man glides behind father Time,
and the young man comes round again.
As soon as the old man has struck
twelve and disappeared, another set of
machinery is put in motion, some twen
ty feet higher still. It is thus : There
is a high cross with the image of Christ.
The instant twelve is struck one of the
apostles walks out from behind, comes
in front, turn■ facing the cross, bows
and walks on around to his place.
As he does so another comes in front,
turns, bows and passes in. So twelve
apostles, figures large as life, walk round
bow, and pass on. As the last appears
an enormous cock, perched on the pin
nacle of the clock, slowly flaps its wings,
puts forth its neck, and crows three
times, so loud as to be heard outside
the church for some distance, and so
natural as to be mistaken for a cock.
Then all is silent as death. No wonder
this clock is the admiration of Europe.
It was made in 1571 and has performed
these mechanical powers ever since ex
cept about fifty years, when it stood for
repairs.—Moravian.
Wm/at—The good government of
families leads to the comfort of commu
nities, and welfare of States. Of every
domestic circle, woman is the centre.
Home, that scene of purest and dearest
joy, home is the empire of woman.
There she plans, directs, performs ; the
acknowledged source of dignity and fe
lecity. Where female virtue is most
pure, female sense most improved, fe
male deportment most correct, there is
most propriety of social manners. The
early years of childhood, those most
precious years of life and opening reason,
are confined to woman'ssuperintendance.
She, therefore, may be presumed to lay
the foundation of all the virtue and all
the wisdom that enrich the world.
lir The New York Herald chronicles
this provoking mistake : "In April, 1861,
Mrs. Jeff. Davis promised an early visit
to the White House at Washington ; in
April, 1865, Mrs. Lincoln in a joarney
to Richmond, retarns the promised call,
and finds Mrs. Davis "not at home"—
gone, perhaps, to Washington. Such is
life,"
or A facetious correspondent of the
N, Y. Iributke, in one of his letters says,
that wherever the army goes five insti
tutions go with it, viz : the Post Office,
the Sanitary Commission, the Christian
Commission, Express Companies and
the diarrhoea.
or We consider the old man's reply
to his son as to the meaning of the word
humbug nearer correct than Webster's.
