The Cairo correspondent of the Philadelphia
Inquirer, indites the following bit of romance :
NV.o learn from a gentleman lately.from Morgnnzu,
Louisiana, that there: i.s now being tried
' , .1 i 1 I -i i / i % o?
iii. uint pinoe, ?y court martini, u young omeor,
attached ns Adjutant to a Now York regiment,
charged with attempting to betray his men
into an ambuscade and desert to the enemy.-?
It seems that the unfortunate.young man became
enamored of a young-lady, the daughter
of-a wealthy fumily, residing not far from the
t const,''and that, desiring to make her his wile;
ho proposed and u as accepted, on conditions
that he would betray his command to a Con
federate force to he conveniently ambushed, he
deserting to the enemy, \tho; it was also stipulated,
would give him; a* commission in the
rebel service. ?
In an ill-starred moment the.unfortunate man
degraded himself and accepted the proposition.
He consented to the betrayal of the comrades,
even unto death, with whom ho had fought,
and bj- whom he was regarded jis an honorable
and brave; soldi,er, and who looked to him for
the.diiithfu) 'discharge of ail the duties'.of the
positi.hu he had Ueen'pbiced in bv his " CJovcniincnl.
Accordingly, plans were laid, and the
uwiviii.iiiiiviui VTI IIm; Hi I ?l HJ IWI v,r.*i UUiU UJf
communicated with. A propo: pretext given,
on the day appointed, the whole force at Morganza
was inarched up in searcji of the eiiemy^
who, it had been asserted, had been depredating
upon the neighboring plantations to a degree
destructive of the interests of the planters,
who were, by the nuerillas, interdicted from
raising if crop.
However, before they had gone far in tlu
way, the colonel commanding, from the. awkwardness.of
the traitor, suspecting that sill v.;n
not right, halted the column, and posting pick
ets securely, immediately commenced an in
vestigation, which culminated in the cuidVs-.io'i
of a sergeant of one of the companies, who hs<
been entrusted with the secret bv the Adju
tant. The (ieiicrnJ thereupon marched hi
men back to quarters, and promptly ordered :
court-martial for the trial of the ofiiceiy who
there is little doubt, will be covieted, and o
course shot. If this docs not smack at the r.?
mance of war, nothing that we hare heard o
the past four years can he sO accounted. 'I In
situation, the time, llie characters aiul the dee<
attempted, prompted l>y love, are e.eftaiub
among the most striking features of the ordi
nary raniancc.
Gen. Longstrect, although now fit for diu;
suffers a partial paralysis in one arm, which w
hope will be relieved On his way to repor
for duty he was complimented highly, when If
characteristically replied : 441 have, some litll
reputation, but my men made it all for me."?
As an exchange well remarks :
This is only equalled in magnanimity., b
Gen. Lee's noble remark, after losing the hattl

The great and good Generals always thin
of the men. It is only the upstarts and stri]
lings and foplings of accidental appointmot
and promotion who alVeet eonlempt or disr<
gard for the men.

In publishing wha. piupuits to have

without.intending it, have done great injustice
to that body. Sundry resolutions on the subject

body. No peace resolutions were considered
in tin; S'-nate at all. In the discussion that occurred
in the House, m> gentleman avowed any
ieeoustruction sentiments; on the contrary,
every purpose of that soil was most niujualiHedly
disavowed by every inembei who oarficipate<
