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 noting down the abovej thc writer doe
not wish to be understood as intending auj
thing personal. Not at all. The applicate
is so very broad.and general as to leave n>
room for personal or technical exceptions

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."
