Sulzbacher <& Co., at Chesnut Hill, near Chappoli's Depot,waa forcibly entered, on Monday uigbt, the 23d instant, about half-past 9 o'clock, by eight mon, who, after seiz? ing and tying the clerks, proceeded to rifie tho place, and carried off about $1000 worth of goods. -The Cheraw Advertiser says : On Monday evening last, little James Craig! about eight or nine years old, son of Capt. James C. Craig, rode from his father's residence, some three miles from town, to the Postoffice for the mail. On lils re? turn, in the upper end of Market-street, his horse took fright and ran against a treo, inflicting a wound on the little fellow's head, from tho effects of which he died in some two hours afterwards. -The editor of the Greenville Enterprise writes: The crop of cotton in Newberry District and Abbe? ville turned out a good one, but the high price of provisions and great expenses in producing the crop, together with tho tax, has cut off all profit and occasioned a loss to the planters, with few ex? ceptions. The most unjust and oppressive tax of two and one-half cents per pound unconstitution? ally inflicted by this Radical Congress, nov/ amounts to about one-fifth of the gross crop. As an evidence, we learnod, directly from a planter near Newmarket, that he had just sent five b^"s ot cotton to Augusta, and s lld them for the *gr'ss sum of $273; th* tax amounted to $54 .ind some cents, leaving about $219, out of which to defray the costs of production, ginning, packing and car? rying to market, tte. THE Loss OP AN ENGLISH MAIL STEAMER AND N?ABL? Foes HUNDBED LivES.-A special dispatch from Boston says : A letter has been received here from Rio, dated November 24, and is published in the Traveller of this city, which contains the following appalling statement : "This morning a Brazilian steamer has arrived from Montevideo, bringing the news of the lons of the English mail steamer Santurn, in a terrible gale off that place -a week ago. She waB iron-clad, and one of the finest looking steamers 1 ever Baw, She left the harbor of Bahia while wo were at an? chor there. When she went down she had on board four hundred persons, including the crew and passengers.

Tat O LP ROMAN WOULD: The Grandeur and Failure ot itu Civilization. By John Lord, L.L.D. New York Caarles Scribner & Co.: 18G7. Charle.-ton-John Bus se IL Dr. Lord is professionally a lecturer OD history Wi.hout the resources either of an original inves? tigator or a profound scholar, he contents him? self with thc comparatively easy task ot compila? tion. Hu requires that his statements shall bs taken un trust, for few authorities are adduced in thc margin of his work, indoed, the omission is claimed as a distinguishing excellence. "A fellow of Christ's Church," says the author, contcmptu ously referring to tho pupils of tho accomplished and painstaking Arnold, "may demand authorities, even if he never consulta one of them, but a mem? ber of Congress may wish to see learning em? bodied in the text and animated by genius after tho fashion of tbe aucient historians, who never quoted their sources of knowledge. Tho ages in which they nourished attache! uo valuo to pedan? tic displays of labor, or evidences of learning pa? raded in foot-notes !" The members of Congress will, no doubt, be thankful tor the suggestion. It is refreshing to know that hencefor.!? i?^ory re? quires no vouchers, and law, the funct on of Rome, no paraded authorities and no pedant ic , rodents; and that fact and right arc no longer io te studied in thc oil monuments, where, with reveres il hands, Bunsen, Niebuhr and Arnold have lou-liu- away the lichen and deepened the holy ruto, but niu6t bo honored as "embodied" in liviig men. All thing" are new now-a-days. Why siould not the "Old K' man World" be rejuvenated into a modern commonplace-blown into a gauly balloon for Buncombe-carved into a wooden tutmeg fjr^on venient handling lor purposes of ?rado. We would not deal hardly witi Dr. Lord. Wo would not rcjoct the lecture fron the curriculum of popular education. We welcome the lecturer, whoso object is not sonr'ch tc communicate new and profound truth as to crcatoa taste for historic studies, to cjnvey to the populir mind tho more important results ol' learned investigation, to in? terest the fancy and the fe? ??aga of men in the great events, institutions and characters bc qseath od to us by the past. But li t lot this mero com? piler of the works and reporter ol the achieve pta of nthcrsforT? Lii*-rffif?nrri\^/^place. Thc r'n'ioonite irrfflcTiifltorie sanctuary, thei>T,,Vattoii dant at its altars-the hewer of wood and the draw.r of water-provokes laughter when ho personates tho high-priests who minister at the secret shrine He constrains us to tell him that he forgets his place. We must also insist that the compiler who un? dertakes to give an abstract shall confine himself to his subject. We really do not understand how thc old Bomau World is chargeable with tho wick? edness of the Southern rebtUion (p. 27), or tho sin of American slavery (p. 5J9), and cannot remem? ber auy iustanco in which those graceless libellers, Plautus, or Lucian, have held up tho Puritans of New England to ridicule (p. 501). We do not un derstand why to Pagan antiquity should bo as? signed the honor of proclaiming Dr. Lord's bran new opinions upon every subject whatever whether literary or scientific,1 social, moral or re? ligious. Perhaps we aro not as thankful as we should bo when standing in pensive thought upon G mouldering arch of tho Colosseum and beholding io rapt fancy tho procession of the ages. We find ourselves summon-d to look upon a puppet show, whore Romulus. the Era of Force, and Numa, the Era of Law", bocome historic and march arm in arm with Augustus and Rienzi (ch. iii.)-where Grant fraternizes with Frederick the Great, and Sherman with Marlborough (p. 54), and Ambrose and Augustine, Watts and Wesley, Luther and Heber, interchange their hymns (p. 598). ind oven if such incongruities could be pardon? ed on the score that a lecturer cannot be a critic, and that hi? sketches must be well spiced with historic allusions, yet the introduction of a whole chapter on Greek philosophy (ch. viii ), and of a half chapter of Greek goniuses among the Roman literati (ch. vii.), and again of a third chapter of Greeks, under the heading "Scientific Knowledgo among the Romans" (ch. ix.), constrain the con? viction that Dr. Lord was moro oonvorned about the size than the symmetry of his production. "I must oho," he urges, "the examples of Grecian as well as Roman genius, since Greece became a part of that grand empire, and sinco Grecian and Ro? man culture is mixed up and blended together.' Why not, also, introduce a dissertation upon the Isis worship of Egypt, which found a place in the Roman idolatry; and another upon tho oraeios of that hoher faith winch silenced the Sybils, and overthrew the altars of the Pantheon ? Or would it no: have been bettor still to devote a chapter to the Roman spirit, to the topography of tho metrop? olis, to the genius of the language and poople, to that peculiar municipal civilizationgto which were duo the stMcesa of the commonwealth and tho overthrow of the empire-in a word, to have given us a philosophical idea of that saino Old Roman World? What we wont is a monograph, not an encyclopaedia. Our author gets hopelessly entangled in tho multitr.de of detain. His stylo becomes involved He cotr.radicts himself-sometimes in tho samo paragraph, as in bis critique on Aeschylus who "combineJ religious feelings with lofty morrl sen? timent"' ;p. 266), but who "was proud and impa tient, and whose poetiy was rather religious than moral" (o. 266)-sometimes in tho same sentence, as in hiscritiquo on Sophocles (p. 207), who "has no rival, Shakspeare alone excepted, in the whole realm of lramatic poetry, unloss it be Aeschylus himself." Hu is ungrammatical. As in his no tice of Ciooro (p. 298), of whom he says: "It was in forensic eloquence that he was pre-eminent, and in which ne hal but ono equal in modern times." Ho ie puerile and absurd, as .rheu ho says of the Stagynte "with Aristotle otbics formed only one branch ot his attention" (p. 339), or of thc writers of'".istory "Some will be minute and others gen? eralizing' (p. 290). His loose sentences run out into knot? and strings like the tail of a kite; as. for oxamp!e, that which brings Demosthenes to his grave p. 295): "Recalled from exile, on the death ot Alexander, he roused himself for the de hverance af Groece without Buccess, and, hunted by his enemies, he took poison m the sixty-third year of his age, having vainly contended for the freedom of his country,-one of the noblest spir its of antiquity, spotless in his public career, and lofty in his privato life." The extravagances of our author defy computation : dictionary and grammar aro tortured for superlatives to celebrate anciont glory; it is "unrivalled,'' "never surpassed," "per? fect in art," "more perfect," "absolute perfoetLn." "matchless," "priceless," "inimitable," "trLi.scen dent." Each anciont genius is the greatest ol' mon. Herodotus "mastered everything:" Thuci dydes enjoyed a "proud pre-eminence." and was "unrivalled;" Casar was a "transcendent genius, the most august name of antiquity;" Tacitus held "the bighc-st rank as a historian," and was "equal to Tbucidydcs." In lyric poetry tho author claims that the Greeks attained to absolute perfection, having tho richest collidion of odes that tho world has produced; yet, a few pages after, he admits that "it is in lyric poetry that the moderna have chiefly excelled the ancients" (pp. 265, 278). But enough of Dr. John Loid. Handsomely bound, beautifully printed, superficial, chatty, often sprightly, sometimes eloquent, his book will find acceptance among a certain class of readers. Ita errors will not harm thom. Its various infor? mation may awaken a taste for history. And it will look well m tho book case ! Things in Washington. A FEUDING, ar KALB or HONOH AT WASHINGTON. A duel is on the tupis here between a major-gen? eral and an cx-capiain of tho Army nf thc Poto? mac. The difficulty originated at the opera on Mondav evening in this way: The captain refer? red to,"who is noted for his gallantry and polite? ness, occupied a seat in tho orchestra, and seeing ID a private box a friend with whom ho desired to speak, he endeavored to pass out in the direction nearest the point he sought. On thc same linc ot seats with thc captain was the major-general, at a distance of some three or four chairs from thu end. Tho occupants of all the intermediate seats, with the exception of the major-general, quietly arose to let the captain pass out. The mau of ] two stars, however, was leaning against the row of seats in front, and showed no sign nf moving aside. Tho ciptain said to bim. "General, please allow me to pass out tor a moment.' Tbe major general answered, without moving, "This is not Ute way to pass-, sir. You shall nor get out this way. Go around the other way." "General, said the Captain, "I thought you were a gentleman. You are a general, and ought to be a gentleman, but you behave like a ruffian. Allow me to pas3." At this point i person in military uniform, who was in company with the general, remarked lo the captain, "That is not tho way, sir in which to ad? dress a "general.*' The captain replied, "My quarrel is with that mau," pointing to the general, "and not with you. Allow mo to pass"-to thc gcneial. Tho general refused to budge, and the captain seeing a number of ladies about, and unwilling to interrupt the performance by a row, restrained his indignation and passed out in au opposite direction. It is said that the captain has since sent a chal? lenge to tho general, and proclaims that he will br.iud him in the newspapers if he refuses to "come out.'- The affair causes quito au excite? ment here, as the parties are both well known and have many friends in Washington. TBH PROSPECT OF CONGRESSIONAL BELIEF FOB. THE sourn. The Washington Express ol' Saturday nays : RELIEF FOR THE SOUTH.-The question of fur? nishing aid to those really needy in the South has been beforo Generals Grant and lioward for seve? ral days. 'Ibo report of General Gillom and bia interviews with General Grant brought tho con? dition of affairs in General Ords district directly to tho uotico of tho General-in-Cliiel. General Howard has boen occupied during tho past week in endeavoring to ascertain as nearly as possible the real situation of the Southern States in regard to the reportod want of food, and while ho is not inclined to believe affairs in such extremity as the Southern press indi ates, ta still ia of the opinion that thc Government should at once- extend aid both to relieve nresent. want and to guard against a worse state ci- affairs than now exist. A gentleman from Charleston yesterday present? ed a plan for his consideration, which has been endorsed by many prominent citizens, and has received the approval of General Cunby, so far as its general features are concerned. It provides for a loan of thirty millions of doUaro, to be issued in small sums to planters and others in neod, to Dear six per cent, interest, both principal and in? terest payable in currency, and secured by mort? gage on the land and by ? lien uj.on tho crops. This plan has been submitted to General Gran! by General Howard, and au endorsement, approv? ing the idea of supplying government aid of sonic lund, but Riving his opinion that a better plan to relieve present wants would be to purchase provis? ions and issue them to all in want, keeping an account of tbe actual cost to our authorities, and to take a Hen upon tho crops lor the amount. General Howard thinks that such supplies could bo distributed at small cost by civilian agents se? lected lnm among thc best known citizona in each section, who would be .villing to act without pay for the sak<? of obtaining relief for the districts in Which they reside. It seems likely that speody action of some kind will Le taken by our authorities in this matter, even ii it be of a temporary character, to relievo suffering until Congress can lake tho subject in hand and authorize such expenditures as tho necessities of the ease demands.

The theatres report a sudden collapse of busi? ness since the e irly part of tho weok. Last night there Mas scarcely one of them took money enough to pay expenpes, ?mt Now Year is expected to bring thom up again. The city ''government ' is hard at work closing up business for the year. Tho Aldormcn aud Councilmen hold daily sessions, and tho number of jobs of ono kind or auothcr that arc authorized for the benefit of this or that political favorite is enough to make the tax-paytrs roll up thoir eyes. Captain Baker, of the steamor Bienvillo, from Savannah, reports that his vessol wa? detained in tho harbor tor sixty hours, on account of low water. Tho river, in places where there wus always groat depth of water, on Monday and Tuesday was quite dry. William li. Astor will pay a tax this year on 82, 000,000, besides personal property tax on $53.500. A. T. Stewart ts taxed upward of $250,000, nearly oue-qmrter of which is derived from his personnl property. Cornelius Vanderbilt nays on $1,200,000 personal property, and about 180,000 tax on bia Harlem railr >ad city estate. The personal property tax ol ex-Mayor Gunther is returned at $100,000; that of Alexander Stuart, tho sugar ronner, $450,000; Robert Hoe, $75,000; Jonathan Thorne, .<|.")(),00ii. Tim Applnfnus nay on $140,000; tho Harper publishers, $170,000, and Taran Stevens, tho hotel keeper, $125,000. At about ibo same time that tho Tyng trial com? mences in this citynoxt week, it is understood that a string pressure will bo brought to bear upon Bishop Potter to tako sonic action in referenco to tbe alleged celebration of the mass, or something very like, in St. Alban's Chapel, on New Year's Eve. Progrc-ia of HltualUm tn New York. The New York Tribune, in its uotices of Christ? mas day services, says : A large and fashionable congregation assembled in St. Alban'? Chapel, of ntualtsiic fame, to cele? brate thc anniversary of tho birth of Christ. The spate is so very limited that many persons Tvent away dioupjioiiited, and many more had only stand? ing room. The congregation wan very attentive, and included several clergymen and other profes? sional gentlemen. Previous to the mass, or cele? bration of the holy communion (tlie formor term, being ot uncertain derivation, has no necessary connection with Hie dogma of ti.inaubsUntiation), the daily office or morning prayer was said by tho Rev. UcWalter Noyes, curate of tho church, and the- lessons were read by tho Rev. Charlea W. Mor? rill, tho rector. T!:e whole octave of tbis great fea tirai of thc Christian year hoing observed at this churcti, accompanied with tho daily celebra? tion of the Eucharist, the commemoration com? menced on Tuesday :n?.;ht with solemn vespers at 9 o'clock. Tho church ia very tastefully decorated with evergreens, banners, &c, whtlo the arrangement of the tillar is tho samo as in Roman Catholic churches, cxeopt that the tabernacle in which thc Host is re? served, is wanting. The morning service prior tc the holy communion differed little from that of Trinity," and Anglo-Catholic churches gcuorally, both in tbis country and in England. Thc vest? ments of tbe clergy, however, tonued an excep? tion ; whito embroidered stoles being worn on luis occasion instead of black. The eertnon was preached by tho Rev. Oliver S. Prescott, who put on a white" stole with black border beforo c rr, menctng, and '.Tossed himself thrice on tho for - head and breast, accordiug to tho custom of the Roman aud holy Eastern churches. Tho discourse related to the incarnation as at onco thc central truth in Christian doctrino and tho contral idea in Christian worship, and in his application ol tho subject tho proaolier vi dicated the decoration of church os from Scripture, and enjoined upon bia hearers a devout us v ell ns hearty celebration of Christmas. Considerably !c3s tuan half tho con? gregation left at tba conclusion of tho morning prayers, thc greater number remaining to witness tho celebration and partake of the consecrated elements. Tho larger candles on the altar wero now lighted by an aco? lyte vested in short surplieo and lom: cassock the ordinary vestments; o? the Roman clergy when not celebrating. 1 ho ringing uf ?hu bell was also noticeable as net bot ia usualin Anglican churches. Tho Rev. UcWalter Noyes w is the celebrant, tho Revs. Morrill anti Prescott acting as doacon and sub-deacon. The celebrant was vested iu a chasu? ble, thc deacon wore a dalmatic, and the sub-dea? con a tunicle. Each WOI ? a maniple, which is like a ?-hort Btolo, ovor the io?t arm. A laced alb was also woru both by the celebraui ?nd the deacon. The celebration was musical, and Hie fino music added to its aesthetic effect. Tho Processional Hymn was the well-known 1 ideates fid?les."' Hol more'a ' Kerie ELe?uii" v.-as the response to the Commundmont-; the Sequence, "Shout the Glad Tidings; ' the Creed-Merbccko ; the Offertory Hymn, Hallelujah, from Mozart's Twelfth Mass; Helmoro's " Sane tus" and tho 'Ueuedictus qui ven't," beforo Uta euusccration or canon, was from the Twelfth Mass, as was also tho "Agnus Dei.-' The "Gloria in Excelais" was Helmoro's; and the final Processional, " Nunc dimit?a,'' Gregorian. Thc celebrant tung the Communion Office, after tlie: Roman manner, in? stead of tho usual ijt?iiit'g in monotone. Thc majority of the congregation were apparently Anglo-Catholic and ritualistic in principle; some", however, had evidently paid a visit of curiosity. Episcopalians of what the late Mr. Convocare termed tho High and Dryer the Low anil Slow schools, were no doubl considerably perplexed, if not shocked, at :.> spectacle so unlike the tradi tiooal church sorvico. It should be remembered, however, that if we go back lo the days of Ed? ward the Vlth and El zabeth. wo shall lind these vestments, genuflexions, und histrionic services quite en regie, and the Georgian plain -style tho subsequent innovation. Tho ritualists, both herc and in England, t>ro able to make out a prcttv olrong oas-, and Evangelical Bishops arc fore jd t?> tolerate a ritual which they d> not approve. FINANCIAL AND GENERAL DISTRESS IN rec SOUTH. A correspondent of the Sew York Times, writing from New Orleans ?Laut tiie financial and threat? ened general bankruptcy of the South, says : The past few years have been lull of mi afortuno and disappointed hopes, until now Ibo present question is one of bare subsistence, ol bread and butter; but tile worst lias not come. The sJoutli has not yet touched bottom. The factors have made advances on tho strength of prospective crops, but for two or three years, especially tho last, the harvests have bee:: uiea^re and tho "mer? chants will get sniitli or n:>returns. If affair.; >;ri on as they are for ninety diys longer there must be many failures. It ts emite impossible to make collections. J ue money is rot to be had. I heard one merchant sty thal of 319,000 due him by dil ferent parties, chiefly plantera, be could realize almost nothing. He had dosed his business und was tryine; just to gain a Dato support for his family until thc rotnm of better days. Meanwhile plant "ttioua are being sold st great sac? itices to pay taxes or mortgages. Ono estato in M::..-;is Bippi, of 1500 acres, was lately bid off at $1.50 au acre, tiuotber ?it $2.50 au ncre.and ons in Alabama, upon which the improvements were worth SlO.OdC. went off for ?1300. Many Sou-.heru men concede that society IQ being broken up from its founda? tions, and that a new order of things ia inevitable. Decisions of thc Court of Errors. From the Greenville Enterprise vre get thc fol? lowing abstract of legal points, decided by the Court of Errors at the recent Fall Term in Colom? bia. The points are of material interest to a ma? jority of our readers: 1st. Tho Statut? of Limitation:) did not run in tina State during the existence of tho Staw Law. 2d. The ordinance of tho convention allowing parties to prove what wac thc consideration and I value of all contracts, during tho war, ia not in violation of the United States Constitution, nor does it impair the obligations of contracta, i 3d. It is not in violation of the Constitution of ? tho United States for the District Courts to try j criminals without a presentment of a Grand Jury. ! 4th. The Tax Collectors aro not compelled to receive the bills of thc Bank of thc State of South Carolina in payment of taxes. 5th. That slavery was not abolished at tho date of President Lincoln's proclamation, but coasod to exist when thu Stato was captured. 6th. Exprcas Companies are liable to be taxed on their income. Thc tax on National Banka, and the validity of negro debts, were postponed. The Court decided that tho Columbia and Augusta Railroad might cross tho South Carolina Railroad in Columbia. But tho caso was retained for a compromise be? tween thc two companies in regard to tho crossing and other matters. Tho question of tho validity and constitutionality of tho organization of the "jurios under military orders was argued in the Court of Appeals, but no decision baa yet been a.inonncod. Thc Last Ration. HV AN EX-CONFEDEEATE OFFICE*. I From the New Orleans Sunday Crescent.] Few hear the immortals of LOOA army speak of the retraat from Petersburg to Appomattox Court? house, thc scene of that aimy'd apothesis, and the reason of that silence can* bo well understood. Knowing nothing and thinking little about thc condition ol thc army outside of their own com? mands, the great body of tho mon, m their reli? ance upon their great commander, simply per? formed the duties imposed upon them, suffered th" agonies that ncc-ssaxily,fell to their lot, and met calmly tho death which ended those duties and agonies for many beforo tho memorable ninth of April. Tho suffering of the rank and file of tho army on that occasion were mercifully deadened by a stupor, if not recklessness, superinduced by the peculiar hardships to which they wero subjected. The enemy, with Iiis overwhelming force of splen? didly mounted and equipped cavalry, held in ad? dition the direct route to tho point" aimed at by Ooner.il Leo, retarding his advance, compelling him to fight while daylight laated, and to do his marching by night. Tlie want of sleep, and du? ring the last tour days of the retreat the entire lack of provisions, produced in tho men tho men? tal and physical condition I havo mentioned. And although after tho surroader tho men and officers of the Federal army v ed with each other in their kindness, and exhibited a desire to do everything in their power to relieve tho neceaaitios of their "^JjJtJ foes, thc destruction of a portion of their sup ply"*Vain by Generals Rosacr nnd Fitzhugh Leo, and tlfcdetcntipn of tho balance hythe awful con? dition of te? road?, loft themselves in a critical coudi ion, and-incapable of affording Lou'a army the much nocded s?volics. Great efforts wero rnalp, and successful, to com? plete, as soon aa possible, &enarolinx of thc ni :i, in order that they might be dm^ped from a , . ice whero there was no BiistenanOT,V<tt?iy doscripi ?on for man or beast. Among fdic liiSs^oiiiniiiiid.s ready to leave were the first :ind socoiid?^isiaiia '?rigados, then commanded bv, Colone! WaggSfNji. a*d with them portions of thc ?Vii -hingtun Artillery?** Loiisiaua Guard Battery, and ?K>na4dsonvillo Ar? tillery, all hailing from the same State, a.id natu? rally clustering togelh&r when about to return once moro to their dear Southern homes. The tondition of these men was really deplora? ble. Starved, worn out, and many of them stride eu with fever, thoy looked with dismay on tho dis? mal march through tho mud to Burkosvilla Sta? tion, the nearest point ut which thoy cou.d expect to find transportation. Colonel Waggaman and many of tho officera did not believe half of them would bo able to perform tho jouruoy, and, as a dernier resorte, aud alto in somo measure to in? spire the men nita linnea which be himself be? lieved delusive, Colone l'W. started the bngado commissary ahead to .iy and pick up something for mau and beast on the route which they were travelling. * Tho commissary, with no more hopo of success than his commanding offioer, started ob", and after travelling a few miles overa tract which gave no promise ol' supplies, being- rather dubious about the road thc bridado would travel, accosted au old, grayheaded sud very ragged negro ho found silting at a cro8gj3ted^an4au?a?o:;r?d him m n-gnrd to thc route to iiurkcsvine. Tue nogro replied intelligently, giving him the necessary directiona, and tho commissary was about to ride on, when it occurred to him th it the dalkey might possibly Rssiat him in search for something eat? able, ho began by asking ii' he knew where ho could get a feed for hia horao. Alter a moment's hcaitation and a rapid inspec? tion of hia questioner, the darkey replied in tho affirmative, and immediately lod tho way through a gate to a small clearing in the pinoy woods. Stopping in the yard of a small shanty, he wont in and got tim key of a pretty go id sized corn crib, which he oponed and displayed to thc commissa? ry's envious gazo forty or fifty bushels of tho tinost corn in tho ear he had, ever soon, even iu Virginia, rle took out a liberal feed for the horse, and re? marked that "Tho Yanka had spa'rd big) that much." Thc commissary saw in his Etind'S eyo his brigade once moro eating a "square meal," and assuming his most persuasive lone, com? menced : "Unelo, I have about sbc hundred men behind hero a little ways, who have oaten nothing to speak of for livo or six days. They havo thirty or forty milo;} to travel on foot, and they will never bc ablo to niuko the trip iu their present condition. Could you not let thom havo a couple of ears of corn au; -ce, and save thoir livea V" Darkey.-"Is they Southern soldiers?" Comiu?sary.-"Yes." Darkey.-"Well, I reckon, young marstcr, thcy's the last 111 ever eec. You just toll them to come along and taue what they want." And having said this, the poor old fellow aal dowu on a 8tono and cried like a child, In an hour or so the troop- caire along and woro marched up in single file to the corn crib and given two cara apiece. The old darkey, in tho meantime had knocked in tho head ol' a barrel of aorghum molasaca, and nearly every mau got a tin cupful. Tuero were a few cases of colic that night among those who were not fortunato enough to get any Borghum, but that did not lessen tno qratitudo of tho mon for tho last Confederate ration issued to thc Louisiana troops in Virginia.
