Grant to havo rations lssuod to'his army. Gen. Grant, turn ing to mn, said, 'Colonel, feed Gen. Lee'? army,' I asked, 'How many men havo Lhoy?' Gen. Grant repeat ed me question, addressing Gen. Lee. Gen. Leo wont into an explanation to show why ho could not tell tho number of his men. Ho said, 'I have no com plete organization in my army. Many companies aro commanded by non* coin missioned officers; tho books uro lost.' When ho got thus far I said, suggestively, 'say 26,000.' Gon. Leo said, 'ves, 26,000.' i went IVom the room at once and meeting Col. M. P. Small, ohicf commissary of Gen. Ord's army, asked him it he could spare mo threo days'rations (I think it was threo days) of boef, salt and bread, for the army- of Northern Virginia, number ing '26,000 men. Ho said. ?I guess I can.' 1 was not at all certain he could do it, bocauso we had been having some livelv marching, and I doubted if tho provision trains and herd wero up with the troops, But Small was equal to tho emergency, and I told him to issue tho rations. You remember we started back to City Point tho afternoon of the nolt day, April 10, and I did not take much more interest in the number of ipen constituting the army of Northern Virginia. I linvo sinco learned that the number of men of that army was at time, officers and men 20,116, divided a* follows, viz: Oavalrv corps*, officers 218, moil 1,601; artillery corps, officers 1,627, men 13, 388; Gordon's 6raps, officer! 674. moil 6,803. Total officers 2,961; total men 23*464. Xou may, he certain that this is correct. You mity remember that Fits Leo went off with his cavalry and G$n.

About two years ogo Good win came to this conntv and-lived with relative* near Parris Postofllce, under the assumed uume of Milton E. Good win.

MOllK AllOb'T TIIOSK BONDS. [Prom the Augusta ChronicIf.) Our esteemed Columbus contempo rary has critically examined the ac count given by Mr. Gonzales uf the .?'Confederate homleraae^Iijiiid some doubt is thrown upon tho whole ex-! planation. Two facts appear in the latest theory: J<Jirst.' If Mr. Gonzales can show the total amount of bonds issued and tho rate nt which they wore purchased, together with the actual amount paid out for them, lie will find that facts will destroy tho very plausi ble story. Second.' A searching in vestigation by tho UnitedStatos.Gov ernment failed to disclose any such conspiracy or scheming on the part of Mr. Bonjamin; and it may bo that his friends will repudiate the whole affair, as ho might, if alive. - On second thought, wo concur with tho suspicion of the Columbus Times that this story, like Coleridge's meta phyiscr.l lecturo, needs further eluci dation, and it strikes us /is an in genious afcrthought, cunningly con trived to avort detection of the history of tho case, l'ossibly tho matter will bo sifted further, and it would not supriso us at all, though it in not so charged, to find that tho Confederate bond speculation was really, as stated in Itichpiond to the writer, a crafty design of English barristers to settle estates that had dwindled iu their hands. Tho poor old bonds of tho Confederacy offered convenient vouch ers to show, fictitiously but perfuncto rily, not how monov really wns lost by investment.*hut how it -might have been. If this bo true; if indeed any English lawyers hnvo juggled with Cohfedorato bonds to covor up delln quouoios of trust, let tho world know it. If Mr. Gonzalez's information bo faithfully delivored the mossago that was given hiui for publication. Lot.it bo scrutinized carofullv and, if found flawless, accepted, lint if it bo a mis conception, tne people should know it. Doubtless (hero are men iu Tliohmond who could simplify the wholo mystery if so disposed.- Wo doubt however if thoy can bo induced to tostify, excopt tititfer- oath and' be'fbrb a qualified in vestigating tribunal. A Firetnnn'* XVIUI Leap* As tho passenger train on tho Ches ter ami Lenoir uurrow gaugo railroad was crossing tho high trestle on Crowdcr's crook last Wednesday, tho tender jumped tho rails and tho whocls bounced oyer the1 orosstlos for a dis tance of 160 yards. None of tho cars left tho track and the train Was Anally stopped without any damage having been done to it, but the flroman was lying on Iho rocks boldw the trestle with his head crushed in. Tho fire man, a colored man, nt the first sign of danger made a wild loap from tlio oab and landed on the rocky bed of the creek bolow tho tresMo, striking square ly on hl? hoad. When-the train hands roaohed him ho was found to bo in a dying condition, with his skull badly shattered* There was no hofro of Ids recovery. The accident was a romark able one, and the entiro train had a narrow osoapo from being hurlod from the trestle to the ground bolow.
