An Incident.
A correspondent of the Lynchburg Virginian.
in a recent letter from the camp near
Richmond, relates "an incident that occnrred a
few evenings since, which shows how keenly
alive the soldier, though the creature of circumstances,
is to the memories of home?how
susceptible to the kindlier and better feelings
of the heart."
We were on brigade drill and wero passing
through a coppice of woods, when we came
suddenly upon a sunny-haired little girl of
some three summers, and a bright-eyed little
boy apparently a little younger, reposing under
the shade of an oak and deeply interested
in the movements of the "muster men." Our
whole command suddenly paused. We halted.
The reins of our bridle dropped from our hands.
A thousand recollections crowded upon our
memories. The shrill notes of the fife?the
rolling drum were no longer heard. Back,
back, our thoughts ran, till we saw other children
sporting along the streamlet's bank,
amid the bright garden, plucking gay flowers,
now swinging on the willow's pendent boughs
?now sleeping on a mossy bank, dreaming
sweet dreams. The present was forgotton.
We were living in the past. The voice of command
soon broke our dreams. And when we
turned to our command and saw other cheeks
wet with drops, other than those of perspiration*
I could not but think how blissful was childhood's
unconsciousness of the pains and sorrows
of life. Its sky is ever bright, its flowers
are ever blooming, and as we hear its joyous
shout and unstudied laugh, how few of us sigh
out,
"Oh what a world of beauty fades away,
I TITIit- a1 : J ? * .1 "
v* itn uie wmgeu uours ot you mi."
Our Slaves.?I remember to have teen a
letter from a Missionary in Africa, in which he
says speaking of the slaves and of the South,
"Would that all Africa were there; would that
tribes of this unhappy could be transferred to
the privileges which the slaves of the South
enjoy. I would rather take my chance of a
good or bad master, and be a slave at the South,
than be as one of these heathen people. In
saying this, I refer both to this world and the
next." I need not say, he is an enemy to the
slave trade.
A missionary who spent much time among
the Zulu people, was appealed to by a zealous
antislavcry person to commiserate our slaves as
being so much worse off than the Zulus.
"Madam," said he, "if our Zulus were in the
condition of your slaves, eternity would not be
long enough to give thanks."?Rev. N. Adamsf
D. D.y of Boston, in uThe Sable Cloud" '
How Powder is Tested.?Powder is tested
at the Bridgesburg Arsenal (Philadelphia) in
I the following manner:
o
A piece of artillery?ono of a large calibre
generally being used?is placed in position, a
small bole being drilled through the side near
the breach. A spring plug, made of steel and
containing a plunger, is tightly screwed in the
hole made, the plunger working loosely, and
connected with the interior of the piece. Attached
to this plunger is a sharp piece of steel
knife shaped. A circular picee of copper is
fitted in the plug, and tightly wedged there.
On the piece being discharged, the force of the
explosion drives tha plurger outwards, the
knife attached striking the circnlar piece of
copper fastened in the plug, the strength of the
powder is made mamtest by the depth of the
incision made.
m ??
Firing the Thames.?Setting tbo Thames
on fire is a scheme proposed in London by one
Mr. Mcintosh, in view of a possible foreign invasion.
He proposes to float a sheet of some
combustible hydro carbonaceous liquet over tjie
water that sustains an adverse fleet, to ignite
this combustible liquid, and thus to envelope
the enemy in flames.

A Yankee "Gal" to Her "X*evler."
We have before at many samples of the
epistolary trophies brought from the battlefields
below Richmond?so gloriously won (in
a horn) by McClellan?and among then we
find the following out-pouring of some damsel's
M gizzard" into the sensibilities of her Yankee
warrior:
"Cherished Ned : Your letter, dearest Ned,
a welcome fouud indeed, it helpes to cheer my
lonely hours, also reminds me of thee, it eeems
as thoug you wer here once mo, as 1 hope you
will be ear long. I had about made up my
mine that for,you was dot going to write for
me. I begun to feel a little jelus, fearing that
Amanda was getting all the letters from you,
but at last I received one, so you see I (eel a
little better, now do not allow me to have a
chance to get jelns agin,"
And so on she continues. Sweet nymph !
skeercelv dost thon think ne how thy Ned is
fur, fur away from whair you thinkest. Prebly
he may be reclining on the damp knshons of
the Chickenhomine; may be he have scooted
to the distant shows of the Atlantic, thair to
be wafted to the fur side of the rivyer Jording;
misfortunately, he mite have been klld, and is
now no mo.
There was a lock of hair in this letter, plaited
and plastered (so that the plait would stick)
with a solution of gum Arabic.
The Herald, of the 11th inst, says that Fremont
telegraphs to Stanton that he engaged
Jackson's entire force on the 8th inst." "The
battle lasted with great obstinacy and violence
for five hours. The loss on both sides was
very great, the casualties among the Federal
officers being quite numerous. The Federal
troops fought occasionally under the murderous
fire of greatly superior numbers. The
bay on t and canister shot were used freely, and
with great effect by the Federals. Milroy com*
mauded the centre; Schenck the right; Stahl,
with all his brigade, the left; Blenker, Bohren,
and Sternurckcr's brigades composed the reserves.
The whole Federal lorce censisted of
at least 30,000 meD. The Stb New York was
badly cut up, losing three hundred. The total
Yankee loss is stated to be six or eight hundred
killed, wounded and missing. The Federal
forces, though greatly outnumbered at all
points, have occupied the rebel lines and forced
them to retreat.
"Those Murderers of our Cause."?In- a
letter writen iu 1779 to Joseph Reed, "President
of Pensylvania," Gen. Washington,. in
writing of extortioners who were then, as the
same class is now, profiting on the public ne
cesity, said:
It gives me sincere pleasure to find that theAssembly
is so well disposed to second your
endeavors in bringing those murderers of oar
cause, the monopolizers, forestallers and engrossers,
to condign punishment. It is much
to be lamented that each State, long erfe this,,
has not hunted them down as pests to society,
and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness
of America. I would to Ood that some
one of the more atrocious in each State was
hung to gibbets upon a gallows five times ashigh
as the one prepared for Haman. No
punishment, in my opinion, is too severe for
the man who can build his greatness npon his
i 5
country 8 ruin.
Nkwspapxr Loafers.?There it- "en evil!
under the sun" which we weold like to tee re.
moved, and it it the newspaper loafer?the
man who does not spend hit money for a pa$er,
but takes occasion to borrow yours before you
have read it, or annoy you oat of your life to
get to see it. There is no comfort or pleasure
in paying for a paper for the benefit of yourself
and family when yon have no security that
you can pass one of these gentry without bav
ing to give it up.?Am ot all men to grumble
about failure of m$tK>.waut of news in papen,
lying dispatches*. these non paging gentlemen
are the loudest in their criticisms.
