for Crclevllle, ChlIicothe, Nc, &C., on his way
to Marysvile, Ky. The excitement and Joy
caused by his presence continued undated till
the last, and when the coach in which he was
seated drove off the welkin rang with shouts
and cheers of "lluzza for Scott" Thousands
of our citizens called upon HIM, and for each
one, without regard to nation or position, he
had word in season. Every man woman and
child left his presence, pleased and delighted
with the urbanlty of the General. A large
number of German and Irish citizens called
upon him, and were treated in the most hospit-
able and cordial manner The vile SANDER that
he is vain. proud, naughty and aristocratic, that
he will not recognize or speak to common
man, in citizens common dress, has received
its death-blow in this community. Our labo-
rers know the story is false. They have had a
demonstration of what his whole life has taught
that he Is true gentleman, that he respects
all classes, that he has hearty sympathy for
the masses every where. Such is Gen. Scott.
Such have our people Of ell classes found him

There was hurrying to and fro, in Robert Lees
house that night It was a heavy hand that dealt
those angry blows on that head.
The passionate fathers repentance came too
late-it came with the word that his boy must
die
"Be kind to her." said Harry, as his head droop-
ed on his mothers shoulder.
i 1t was dearly bought lesson Beside that
lifeless corpse Robert Lee renewed his marriage
vow; and now, when the hot blood of anger rises
to his temples, and the hasty word springs to his
lip, the pale face of the dead rises UP between
him and the offender, and an angel voice whispers

Hints for Young Tobacco Cnewers.

Hints for Young Tobacco CneWers.
Some writer, who signs his name Peter Sim
Pile, tells the story of "a sailor-boy who chewed
tobacco, which contains a hint for those who in
dulge in such habit. We advise our readers
never to be guilty of this filthy practice; and if
any one has been so unfortunate as to have al
ready acquired the disgusting habit, to throw away
the tobacco, clean out the mouth as soon Us pos
sible, and never defle it again by the usesof such
weed. Here is the story. 7,,s -
81 was amused the last morning watch that
kept. We were slowing away the hammocks in
the quarterback nettings, when one Of the boys
came with his hammock on his shoulder, and as
he passed, the first lieutenant perceived that he
had quid of tobacco in his mouth.
"What have you got there my good lad a gum
boil Your cheek is much swollen
"No, sir" replied the boy, ''there is nothing at
all the matter"
"Oh, there must be; perhaps it is bad TOOTH
Open your mouth and let me see.''
Very reluctantly the boy opened his mouth,
which contained a large roll of tobacco leaf.
81 see, / see," said the lieutenant, 'syour mouth
wants overhauling, and your teeth cleaning. I
wish we had dentist on board; but as we have
not, will operate as well as can. Send the
armorer up here mith his tongs."
When the armorer made his appearance, the
boy was compelled to open his mouth, while the
tobacco was extracted with his rough instrument.
"There, now, said the lieutenant "I'm sure
that you must feel better already; you could
have any appetite with such stuff in your mouth.
Now, captain of the afterguard, bring piece of
canvass, and some sand, and clean his teeth nice
ly."
The captain of the afterguard came forward and

The MAN that the Mule kicked.

The MAN that the Mule Alcke0s
Many are the anecdotes and stories which our
volunteers tell, the scene of which has been the
Rio Grande, and many yet remain to be told
The following good one was recently related to US
by our friend, Sewell Taylor:
'sOn certain starless night, in the lattar part
of July, two NOTWITHSTANDING editions OF Da-
mon and Pythias, so sincere was their friendships
so mutually strong were their attachments-Were
sitting on some lumber in the neighborhood of
sewelps (the Suttler's) tent. They had given
pretty strong proofs of their adherence of the
water of the Rio Grande, in its primitive state, by
mixing it with component part of Sewells
Brandy, which, as Burns says, made them s'unco
happy" They sat therefore considerable time
and talked of ..old times" and new times-of
times past, present, and to come-of the indom-
table courage and invincible power of the United
States volunteers, and of the cowardly Mexicans.
Indeed, from the mood they were in, sthey could,
as they expressed it, "walk into Ampudla and his
whole pusillanimous host p
One of them had occasion to withdraw for a
minute, and after making in advance due apology
for his temporary absence, he assured his friend
that but little time would elapse before he would
reioin him. Not returning, however, soon as
his friend thought he should, tie latter "put ou, !"
too. He who first left, soon, in zigzag course,
returned, but instead of going up to where him
self and friend had been sitting, he approached to
where vicious Mexican mule was haltered.
sscome, BILL" said he, laying his hand upon
the hind quarter of the mule, sslet's go to our
TENT
sWee-iee-ee," cried the mule, letting fly his
left hind leg at him, striking him in the abdomen,
and sending him ON the broad of his back in among
the neighboring chaparel.
After recovering, he picked himself up, and
advancing to the mule, said
aLook. here. Bill, this is I'D shabby con-
duct! wouldn't treat Mexican so, letting alone
an old comrade. If you have any spite against
me, just say so, and Pm your man; but don't
strike a fellow that way, with the butt end of
your musket, in the dark. | tell you, I felt that
last kick just as if dragoon's horse had kicked
me. Come, now, let us shake hands, and again
he went up within kicking distance of the mule.
ssWee-iee-ee,'' growled the mule, and again he
gave the intruder kick that laid him flat on the
ground
ssMurder murder =" he cried, ssI'm shot-Im
stabbed-he has run his bayonet through me-he
has broken my head with the butt end of his mus
ket-I'm shot I'm killed! Guards! Rounds
Guard! Rounds %
Attracted by the noise, crowd gathered
round;. lights were brought, and the great kicked
was picked up out of the chaparel. Two of his
ribs only were found to be broken, and his friend
and comrade, Bill, was the first to render him as
sistance. OF course, although he could not at
the time be made to believe it, it was at seen
that his enemy in disguise was the peeyish mule,
and not his friend and comrade soldier, Bill.
