An ORIGINAL zounve Letter.


The following is worthy the pen OF the orlgl-
nal Doesticks, and is a pretty good take on
on telegraphic reports:
rve inst ,eturned from witnessing one OF the
most mournfil sights that ever made a man
feel as though he had been peeling onions a'l
the week and grating horse radish on Sunday
II was t'e dying scene OF one OF the Pet
Jamm.,s down a. Alexandria. and as one ot
Five's chaps remarked, It was enough to max .
the eve of darning needle weep. Jim was
the name of the sufierer-if he ever had any
other it had slipped his memory-though his
afectionate relatives sometimes called him
Shorty" He was out on picket guard when
the Southern Coniederacy attempted to pas
him. He challenged the intruder, aud called
to his comrades for help, bat before the latter
arrived. the Southern Confed racy drew II
masked battery from his pocket, and fred six
heavy balls through the head OF the unfortn
nate Zouave, nearly fracturing his skull, an
breaking several panes of glass. The cowardiS
miscreant then fed to an adjoining renee
closely pursued by Sherman's artillery.
Upon discovering that he was wounded, Mr..
Shorty examined the cap on his musket, and
stood it carefully against tree, buttoned up
the Jacket to the neck, and asked his comrades
Tor a chew of tobacco. Too full tf emotion to
speak. the gentlemanly comrade handed plug
OF tobacco to the dying man, who cut off about
half au ounce from it. placed 1t thoughtiully
his mouth, and then stuffed his handkerchief
carefully in the hole in bis forehead made by
the shot.
lis any of my brains hanging QUIT" he asked
of his comra ade.
No Shorty" answered the other, bursting
into tears, you never had any TO hang out"
After this response the dying man paused
tor q moment to spit 10 the eyes Of dog tha
was smelling round his heels, and then pro
ceeded in the direction Of the hospital. As hi
passed the officers tent noticed that the toy
Of his head was completely gone, and one o
his eyes was half way down the back of hi
neck. Upon entering the hospital, he took NJ
pipe and commenced to smoke it, at the sam,
time giving US history Of his life aud career
After finishing the pipe and history, he aske,
us to wrap him up in The American flag, ant
died.
p. S.-Since writing the above, have hear,
that no such occurrence took place at Alexan
dria. The alarm was occasioned by the fallin!
of bundle of hay in the officers uart:rs-th,
noise having been mistaken for the dischare
of artillery. have since learned that no acci
dent has occurred. and that Shorty did no
come with the regiment, but remained In New

Time Not Expired.

In the Presidents Proclamation he
gave the rebels twenty days in which
to lay down their arms and return to
their allegiance. "Time" will not be
/" called" until next Sunday night at
twelve o'clock; and until it is, good
faith on the part of the Government
requires that operations should be con.
fined strictly to defence. When the
days Of grace expire, let all the cavi-
lers, croakers and GROWERS, look out
for the fur tofy; let the rebels prepare
their bandages and lint, and the South
ern newspapers get ready for the NOR
tally lists" of which, after the Sumter
affair, they were so covetous, because
as sure as that the sun will rise to-mor-

The St. Los1s Victory.

The administration has achieved
another victory over the rebels = or
the people of Illinois have achieved
another for it. The safe removal of the
twenty-five thousand stand of arms
from the st. Louis arsenal to Spring
field, by company of Illinois volun-
teers, may be ranked with Capt. Jones'
achievement in destroying the Harper's
Ferry arsenal. The former was as fatal
blow to the Missouri rebels as the lat
ter was to those of Virginia. One
probably prevented the capture of
Washington, and the other will delay,
if it do not wholly prevent the seces-
sion of Missouri. For several days the
traitors of tina. State had been making
extensive preparations to capture the
arsenal for the purpose of arming the
secessionists. In a few days the whole
militia of the State was to be concen-
trated at st. Louis under the pretext of
a good military parade, but in reality
to seize the arsenal and participate the
State into open rebellion. But they
have been thwarted by the gallantry
and promptness of the Illinois volun-
teers, and the loyalty of the comman-
der of the arsenal 1t was CALAMITY
done, and will prove sad disaster to
the secessionists. .s., a's
