AN AsToNIsHED CLERGYMAN w alkiDg
up Chestnut street yesterday morning, we
were overtaken by reverend clergyman
The clergyman and the reporter continued
their walk to the corner Of Thirteenth and
Chestnut streets. At this point hard look
ing customer arrested their progress. The
stranger was glorious specimen of the
genus "loafer." He was lily dressed, lily
behaved, and his entire wardrobe would
have been rejected by the lowest dealer in
carpet rags.
He was polite vagabond however. He
touched his hat erentially, and opened out:
Good merning, gentlemen"
The clergyman started. The reporter re-
turned the salute.
Gentlemen" continued the loafer, II
amt ON the whine. / amt bit hungry, aud
know it's no use humbugging class of
people like you"
The clergyman appreciated the compliment
and asked the man
"What is your wish p
"Why," said he, "I'll tell you amt
goin' tr come the hungry dodge ON you-I
don't want nothing to eat. | want my bit
ters, and id badly too. 1 seed you pas
sporting men, and | know'd you'd under
stand me. Give us a flip, gentlemen, know
you can feel for man that hasn't had
drink for two days."
The minister, at the idea of being taken
for a sporting man, was struck aghast, and
stood upon the sidewalk picture Of utter
horror. -Phila. american.

WAR NEws.-We have, as yet, imperfect
accounts of the late battle at Gauley's Bridge
in Western Virginia. 1t appears to have
been a brisk skirmish and cannonade, and
not general battle The reports say that
the Confederates were repulsed, and that
there was prospect Of Floyd being SUI
rounded, and defeated, if not captured.-
Gems. Schenk and Benham are assisting
Gen. Rosecrans, and have crossed the river
so as to get in the rear Of Floyd, whose forces
amount to 1000 men.
Gen. Fremont having received the order
removing him from his com mand, caused an
intense excitement, many of the officers de-
caring they would resign and serve under
no other commander, and some companies
laid down their arms. General Fremont has
issued farewell stirring address, urging
the army to maintain the credit Of the flag
under their new commander. He regretted
to leave them On the eve of battle. They
were sure to win, but he should claim to
share with them the joy of every triumph.
All the Brigadier.G Generals joined in request
ing Fremont to remain that night, and as
the enemy was close by and battle expect
ed, he did 50. Gen. Pope took command till
Gen. Hunter should arrive.
Troops are concentrating at Annapolis, in
order to sail South as soon as the steamers
which composed the first federal feet shall
return from South Carolina. There are al.
ready some eleven thousand troops congre-
gated. Their destination is said to be
Charleston harbor below the Notifications,
whence they will march against the city
The government propeller Thomas Swami,
from New York, is aground on Sandy Point.
A selegram to the Secretary of the Navy
from Philadelphia announces that the steam
er Florida-one Of the vessels of the expe.
dition-has put into that port for repairs to
her machinery.
A letter from Rockville furnishes some in
telligence rs to certain reported skirmishes
between the Confederates and the divisions
of Mccall and Banks respectively, concern
ing which the kilograms from the seat Of war
has been entirely silent. The skrmishes
are said to have been at the mouth of the
Monocacy and at Dranesville, with consider
able loss to the federal troops.
On the I'd, near Leavenwurth, Kansas,
skirmish took place between small force
of the Missouri militia, under Maj. Josephs,
and $50 Confederates. The latter were scat
tered with small loss. A battalion of the
Kansas Second Regiment was collected to go
to the relief of Major Josephs, but it was not
needed.

IS CHILDHOOD HAPPY.

There never was a greater mistake made
than when childhood was called the happiest
portion of life l have seen q little child's
breast swell with an anguish as great as would
ever agitate it though it should live to four
score. Call it " trife," if you will, that a
playmate jeered him before d laughing crowd of
boy Judges no verdict of after life would be
harder to bear and when, sure of sympathy,
he tells his story to some one whom he fancies
will sympathize, and that man or woman or
child listens with indifference, or pooh-poohs it
away - do you think that child will ever
drink bitterer drop? l tell you nay, and
if the rough grinding heel of the busy, iDsa-
tiate world were not on US all the time we
should know and feel it. Nor is the suffering
rnomentary, as many suppose. How can it be,
when some such juvenile experience often col
ors a whole life? say children suffer i'm
mensely more than is believed. Take childs
first day at school thrust into a crowd of up
roarious, mischievous little savages, shrinking,
covering, trembling away from their rude con
tact, with heaving chest, and tear-laden eyes,
choking down the misery made so intolerab!e
by suppression, do you tell me that is "a tri-
fle?" Take the child who sits intensely lis
tening TO some story related conversationally
between grown-up people, when suddenly his
presence is recollected and the peremptory
summons " to bed is promulgated without a
thought of the tUise cleneney of reprieved
ten minutes l well remember, in my days Of
pinafore and pantalettedom, an old maid who
used to say that child in tone that made
all my curls stand on end. For years I agita
ted my mind with the question whether ole
maids went to heaven because, strong a'
were my predictions of that biissful state
was in no wise content to share them with her
Nor shall 1 soon forget the transition age
when too tall for short dresses and too shor
for long ones called nothing but child
when l was most anxious to do the stately
young lady and begged to recollect that
was no longer child" when fit of obstrep
orous romping overlook me with a vigor
could not resist called goose for blushing
