A 44 Vision of Judgment." Several days since, feeling somewhat wea ried and unwell; I lay down on my bed and soon dropped into an uneas}', restless, broken slumber, and whilst in this state, experienced one of those remarkable dreams which some times visit the sleeper and act oct the mind as visions from an unknown world. I thought I had been permitted to make a flying trip to the infernal regions. Yes, actually into the . Kingdam of tho Hades, and then stood in the presence of the Arch Fiend himself, who was seated on his throne of. State, surroundod by . all the dread paraphernalia of his awful oilice, whilst the agonized shrieks and wild yells of anguish and despair wailed forth in one in cessant stream of terror from the parched throats of the damned, piercing my very vi tals and adding tenfold horror to thc scene. A long row ol fresh criminals were ranged before Satan, who quickly dispatched them to diff?rent portions of. his kingdom, there to live in eternal woe, until he finally caine to the lasten tho list-a trembling, shivering, gasping wretch. " Pee how he shivers at thc thought of death ! What doubt and horror hung upou bis breath ! The gibbering teeth, glitzed oye, and marble limb, Shades from the tomb, stalk out and ?tare at him.'' When Satan came to this fellow, he paused, and looking at him calmly and steadily, stern ly said : *. Who are you, and'whence came you into my-dominions ?" " I am from the city of Lynchburg, State of Virginia, Confederate States of America," replied the trembling culprit, in a faint, qua king tone of voice. After receiving this reply his Satanic ma jesty somewhat relaxed the rigidity of bis facial muscles, whilst a grim smile parted the corners of.his lips. J' Ah," said he, "you are from the South ern Confederacy, ?.re you. So ho ! ? ?our peo ple are "having a fine time up there now: a splendid time, indeed. They have laid me under a thousand obligation? to them. They ?are rapidly iillir.g up my Kingdom for me with a shrewd, industrious,skillfulpopulation of Yankee mechanics. Indeed if your sol diers keep on killing them RS rapidly as they have done I shrill have to enlarge my territory by^annexing purgatory. The only fear I have is, that they will attempt to revolt, and set up a rival Devil of their own. I am Talker afraid of Lincoln and Seward, at:d have caus ed a special dungeon to be made for them 1 when they arrive. But what battle was voa killed in?" ' * (ll was not killed in battle," meekly replied the aspirant for internal immortality. " What ! not killed io battle ! Then prob ably you died in the hospital. A great many of your men die in/the hospitals : a very great mauy indeed; but they rarely come to this place. It is strange, very strange ; but some how I can't influence them like 1 can the Yan kees. A greater power than mine interposes tPiprevent it." ? And thus saying, the Devil buried his face ' iu his iron claws and seemed lost in profound revery, whilst the groans and yells of his vic tims fctill rang throughoutjundemo::iurr. with one incessant roar. At length he started up sud a:ain addressed the culprit " What hospital did you ?ie in TJ " f died in no hospital. 1 was not connect ed with the army at tito time of my death."' " Then you have been conoprted with the army. Pray wfiht j oattion did you hold?" said Satan. "I was Brigade Quarterruastrr the first year of thc war, but resigned and went into the Grocery business after, that/' replied the representative from Lyuchburg. u Why did you quit the army ? you had a safe position there, lt's very seldom they ev er kill a Quartermaster, but Vhen they do, I generally get him," said Beelzebub. " I qnit the army because I had had "made money enough to get into other business, which would pay better." " How. did you make money so quick ?" By cheating the privates out of their ra tions and selling them to the otficers,"" ?aid the candidate. - il Ah ! that was a keeu stroke of policy," said the Devil approvingly. " But couldn't . ydn get rich fast enough at that ?" * " Why, uo," replied the wretch : [i that was too small a game for me. Jfrsaw how rapidly fortunes were being accumulated in Lynch burg and other cities by men who "were not ashamed to sell their souls to your Majesty for lucre, and so I settled down in Lynchburg and betame.an'j Extortioner!" At the mention of that word the Devil's countenance suddenly became clouded, and a visible sneer wreathed his lips as he said, with sarcastic bitteras : u Ah yes ! That class of demons are about the only ones I receive frem the Confederacy now. I have sent a number of my most sub tle agents amoDg them and they are rapidly making proselites. Indeed, their success is without parallel, and almost surpasses belief : yet 'tis of simple solution to thoso who pos sess the key." * % "And pray, may I ask what is the key?" . said the extortioner, humbly. " And dare you ask me for the key !- You.'" .and the Devil f cowled fiercely at the shrink ing, cowering wretch from beneath his long, ? shaggy, bristling eyebrows. " Does not your 1 own black heart keep it hidden away amid its j darkest recesses, and is it not made of gold ; yea^gold trebly refined, du? from the moun tains of curses ; washed with the bitter wa-., ters of womena and children's tears, and 1 melted down in the crucible of famine and j starvation ! Oh I it is a glorious sight to see "thia spirit of extortion spreading-spreading | -and yielding me 6uch a future harvest of despair and agony ! And. you, aud thousands i of your extortionate brother grocer?, and mer- I chants,'aud speculators iu bread-siutfc, and shoemakers, and cotfin-ptakcjpj and factory men, are not the only hell-deserving mousters that will inherit'this Kingdom after all of your rascality on earth. Ab, no. J?ut within the last two years-rof war in your country my hopes have been brightened and my prospects of taking into my '* bosom" many who were heretofore considered " saints" and " perfect men," is quite refreshing. Yes there is many a one guilty of withholding, r and hoardhi'j vp and ?nncce.isuri/ lying, and -and an inhuman thirst for Confederate dol lars-men who have always tilled the soil, reaped rich harvests and were satisfied with moderate prices-men who reasonably in dulged in hopes of ?oing to a.better world. ButM bully for me,"-they are only " hell hound" in that direction, and I'll gather them in after all. Hurrah for Belzebub and his growing dominions. Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah. Weep on ve orphaned hajjes, and widowed mothers ! - Curse on ye fainting, famishing soldiers ! every curse and every tear yields, me another victim and the Arch Demon chuckled hoarsely with devilish glee. The wretched extortioner' listened to this tirade in abject terror-his eyes glaring wild ly, ?nd almost starting from their sockets, his teeth chattering and rattling like casta nets, whilst'his knees trembled and a dizzy faintness seized upon bis -whole frame, Be coming somewhat composed, the Devil aga?n ? adaressed him ; 11 Xnd what do thc honest people a*p in the Confederacy think of you fellows, anyfcow? Don't ibay know you fellows have sold your selves to me, und regard you as. lost soul??" " Y'es, generally," replied the extortioner, faintly and hesitatingly ; " they regard us a set ot scoundrels, who are worse- enemies, to the South than the Yankees themselves, a swear we all deserve the halter. Bat so lo as wc make money we don't heed their curs Ah, sir, when on my death bed I wot have given all my wealth lor one faint ho of pardon !" " ItJs too late DOW to hope for rnercj sneered tho Devil. " You should havethoug of that-when .you were wr'jiging tbe har earned- dollars.from your br.tve soldiers ai their families-m?n who were risking tut lives to shield you and yours frota a men less foe: men whom you showed no mere and whose helpless wives and lillie ones vi suffered to perish uuheoded and uncared ft 1 regeat, it is too late now to indulge in ai of your tine-spun-theories of future hope ai forgiveness. I believe One, whose name dare not mention, iuteuds to save all tho soldiers, aud send your class to me, in pla* of them. You will be permitted to enj< your ill-gotten wealth for a time : but mai me! I shall revel in the'agony of each r curring death scone, aud welcome each vi tim, freshdrom his sin-stained, foul aad po luted death bed!" " Then there is no hope for the extortioner! queried tho cx-grocer. " Hove !'' exclaimed Satan, with a mali? nant Chuckle. " Look around you ! See tho? sulphurous flame-i coiling and wreathing an twining themselves around, those yeliin wretches. Behold their fiery tongue? sud ing the steam-like breath as it Hows ' froi their heated lungs, feeding on that which the torture. Hear thc hoarse oath, the frenzie yell, the ptereaps scream wrung .from th gaspiinj^auivering, writhing victim. See j hop?' there ? And such isr your doom, au that of your fellows." Thus speaking, the Devil made a sign t two of his familiar imps, and the extortione was suddenly seized aud borne away, frnnt Cally struggling, into the hottest portion ( the fiery lake, his last despairing wail r agony and terror falling on my ears wit] such appalling horror that, t started from m sleep-when lo 'twas all a dream-" th&base less fabric of a vision."

In the correspondence, of the Savannhl Republican, from Richmond, (" P. "NY. A.," we find the following upon the Johnston Hood question, which, as containing tin whole thing in a nutshell,"'and properly re pelling all imputations upon the President fur his action and motives in thc premise?; v.r copy and commend to our readers : I do not know that Gen. Johnston had ob tained bis own consent to abandon Atlanta, but 1 am informed by persons who can hard ly be mistaken, that su di was the painful conviction forced upon the mind of the Presi dent by his acts ai:d"private dispatches. The President does not place the same estimate upon thc abilities of Johnston- that other* do ; but those who believe or a=sert that he has withheld from him the support which he could have given to him, and would have given to others, do him, I firmly believe, gross anil cruel injustice. I am, as you well kuow, not a partisan of the President, but 1 feel bound to defend bim against a charge so foul and monstrous. While I nave not been able to apnrove-of all his acts of administra tion, I mn->r, nevertheless, accord to him true patriotism, pure intentions and great abilities. '-?? ? ?? Bolted and Unbolted Flour. A correspondent of the Charleston Courier sends that excellent journal the following, which we recommend to the attention of our readers : r 1. It js more economical. One bushel of wheat will make sixty pounds unbolted, but on1)' only forty pounds of bolted flour. "We raise in the Conledcracy at least twelve mill ion bushels of wheat, which ia only, about two bushels per head. If this isgrourid and belt ed, one third or four militons must go to waste in the form of shorts or bran, but using it unbolted it would be saved, and at twentv five doilu'S per bushel, the snug little sum pfc one hundred million of dollars would be saved. *. 2. It is healthier and more nourishing than bolted-the bran and shorts contain the most nutrition-tho bolted flour contains mostly starch. 3. It is mora palatable ; it bas the natu ral swe^t taste of wheat, which is lost by bolting. ^ 1. Any common com mill can make un bolted flour. To bolt flour requires a com plicated lot of machinery. The army ot>uld have portable mills and make their owu flour whenever Wanted. The same mill will grind unbolted flour three times as fast as bolted. 5. Unbolted flour, will keep sweet any^ length of time, which is not the case with bolted. 6. Lastly: Unbolted flour is to belted flour as a red flannel shirt is to a nice ironed linen shirt with a standing collar. Thc short *s cheaper, healthier and more convenient-the iattcr costs more, is not as healthy and more trouble to be kept in order, but it looks much nicer, particularly for a dandy. Nov/ is the time to act upon it, as the wheat of this year's crop is commenced to be used. The men in authority should prohibit bolting, flour niado of wheat, and I assure you that such a prohibition would be^g real benefit to ejery-onc without exception. STOKEMAX THERAIDEII.-Thefc?ft?wing facts were communicated to the Atlanta Intelligen cer by a gentleman whose veracity is unim peachable and which illustrates the despica ble character of Stonemau, the raider, now a prisoner in this city : When at the head of a portion of his com mand in Jon.>s county, buta few miles distant from Macon, Ga., Le entered the house of a highly respectable citizen, who was absent to avoid capture, and ordered his wife, an accom plished .lady, to cook breakfast for him and his a tendants. This she did, providing for them tho.best she cculd, and which we doubt not was a superior in quantity and quality the brute a*uhis men had ever been accus? tamed to Having gorged himself with the good things set before him, this Federal Ocu eral proceeded next to ';?ako a survey of the house in which he had been so hospitably, forced though it was, entertained. His first amuserrient was to draw his sword and cut to pieces several of. the lady's dresses that were banging against the wall of ono of the cham bers, and having thus vented his diabolical malice, he next exhibited his licentious and beastly nature by making dishonorable pro positions to the lady of the house herself. Locky it was fer the lustful beast that the husband vi<as not near to hear the insult; of fered to his wife for if he had boen, nothing would have saved him from, a deadly revenge. And t his is the General who must be tender ed civilities I This, the distinguished raider w ho must have indulgencies extended to him, ? {3^ A Yankee papoV says: "A petition ls being largely signed, intended to be presented to the President asking him to agtUp call Gen. Mc Clellan Into active service, it being tho universal' impression that this popular General could rally 50,000 volunteers to bis standard. Tbi?, if ac ceded to, would render a draft..unnecessary, be bjdes moeting all pmsing mjljrary cjigencjes." I L By Reffest of A. R. Thc tilo?ming Star at E'en.
