SINGULAR DREAM.-The San Mateo Gazette
says: On Saturday morning last, Jefferson
Higgins, whose death is announced in another
column, on getting up told his companions
that he dreamed they had attempted to
remove certain logs, describing them, and
that in the attempt he had been crushed
and killed. These logs were two which the
men had lying near together, and one above
the other, on the side of the mountain, in the
Redwoods, and they had all the arrangements
made for their removal, on this fatal n orning.
Nothing daunted by the singular dream, they
went at it, but examined the position of the
logs, and concluded that neither of them
could roll so as to do any injury. About
nine o'clock. having the dogs securely
fastened to the upper log, and the team
hitched on, Higgins mounted the lower log,
and his companion started the cattle. The
moment the log started, both commenced to
roll, when poor Higgins attempted to spring
from the lower one, over the upper one, but
his own footing being so uncertain, he fell
between them, and was instantly so crushed
that he died about two o'clock the same day.
This is casualty which has cast gloom
over all the loggers in our Redwoods, and is
one of the most remarkable verications of
a dream, which ever came under our obser-
vation. Mr.. Higgins was man about thirty
one years of age, formerly from near Au.
gusta, Maine; a sober, industrious and careful
man, one who has been more free from ac-
cldents than almost any other teamster in
the woods He was very highly respected by
all who knew him, and his loss is deeply felt
by the entire community.

ir costs England nice little plum for
ROYALTY. By the statute by which the Queens
civil list was settled, the hereditary revenues
of the crown were carried to the consolidated
fund, and thereupon Parliament granted to
her Majesty an annual sum of e3s5,ooo,
which is thus appropriated 100000 for the
Queens privy purse; 9l3,200 for royal
bounty, special services, and aims; el73,500
for the expenses of the royal household,
Including tue retired allowance. This leaves
a surplus of Es,o4o. If there is any saving
in any of the above classes, it is applied id
aid of the excess of charge in the others,
but if the gross total expended in any year
exceeds the sum of $4,000 the particulars
thereofmust be laid before Parliament within
thirty days.

TIE RIGHT TALK.-The S. T. Daily Evening
Journal holds this bold and loyal language
in an article relating to the rout at Bulls
Run.
"The presage Of success will undoubt-
edly encourage and embolden rebellion but
that is not all that it will do. 1t will bring
down pent-up floods from every Union State,
and will nerve the Federal army to strike a
surer, more decisive blow. Two hundred
thousand troops have already been ordered
TO Washington /; five hundred thousand more
will be eager to go. Experienced and veteran
military men will be advanced to the places
hitherto numbered by pasteboard Brigadiers,
fustian Generals and ambitious civilians, and
military capacity will take the place of po-
litical favorites. The war is now fairly
begun; reuel hands are red with the blood
spilled in the defence Of the true flag of the
Union, and the universal voice of the Union
States will be, let it go on until rebellion is
trodden to dust and until jeff. Davis hangs
by the neck in the sight of approving Heaven
and applauding nations. We shall hear no
more of compromise" except from traitors
not at least, while the blood Of brave men
oozes down through the ''sacred soil of Vir-
ginia,' or while the hoof-markS of rebel
cavalry point toward the Capitol. There is
no more middle ground to be occupied.
Compromise is cowardice hesitation is lurk-
ing treason; apology for rebellion brands
the sneakug traitor, and refusal to aid and
sustain the Federal Government reveals au
enemy of the Union"

The STAMPEDE.-The cause of the panic
at Bulls Run, and consequent rout of our
army, is thus briefly related by the Union S
second dispatch
Our army was capturing battery after bat
terry. The ammunition of our artillery had
been expended in the contest, and as tha can
mons were rushing at full speed to the rear
for new supplies of ammunition. the move
ment was construed by civilians and teamsters
there into retreat, and panic occurred
among them. They ran for their horses
without waiting to ascertain the facts, cut
the traces, and with the horses commenced
. preciritate retreat. The CONSERVATION
thus created was communicated to the troops
in the rear of the column at the very moment
a charge of cavalry corps from Manassas
was made upon them. 1t WAS nothing less
chan stampede. The enemy themselves
were unaware of it.

THE CHAMPAGNE ARMY.-Russell, of the
London Times, who seems to have had a
"good time" among the rebels, in speaking
of camp life at Charleston, says:-
Bones of beef and mutton, champagne and
wine bottles, obstructed the approaches,
which were of nature to afflict DR.. Suth-
erland and Sir John M'Neill most bitterly,
and to suggest the reflection that the army
which so utterly neglected sanitary regu-
lations could not exist as soon rs the sun
had full power. x
In one tenth which we visited, the hospitable
inmates were busily engaged in brewing
claret and Bordeaux. Lemons, sugar, ice,
champagne and salads were in abundance,
and at the end Of the tent was bar, where
anything else in reason could be had for
the asking, though water was not so plenti-
full

WHAT is oN?-For the information
of numerous inquirers, we give the follow
ing list of articles constituting ration, from
: the army regulation:
20 ounces fresh and salt beef, or 2 ounces
pork; l8 ounces soft bread or -four, IL
ounces hard bread q ounces beans, or 35
ounces rice; So ounces sugar; l ounce of
coffee, ground; gill vinegar; ounce can
dies; ; ounce soap ounce salt.
This must answer for the subsistence OF a
soldier during the day; and, properly hus-
banded, it is enough.
The rations of a company of seventy seven
men aggregate as follows:
964 lbs fresh and salt beef, or 57a lbs.
pork s63 lbs. soft bread or four or 574 lbs
hard bread; III lbs. beans, or 81 lbs. rice /;
81 lbs. sugar; a lbs. coffee, ground; Al
quarts vinegar pecks potatoes; Is lbs.
candles; 81 lbs soap quart salt; pints
soft soap.
Company rations are served daily, and
each company has its own cooks, who can,
with proper attention and care, supply the
men we'll at each meal, and have enough to
spare. If they do not know how they will
soon learn, by saving scraps, making mixed
dishes, ETC., to make the rations go as far as
possible.

Anecdote OF General Scott.

The editor of the Lancaster PA. J Examiner
In letter to that paper from Washington,
tells the following good story of Gen. Scott:
"ln the storm of war that is now pouring
fury and destruction upon the South, not
the least proof that the hand of Providence
holds the helm is the gratifying fact that
Winfield Scott, the Commander-inChiefo Of
the Federal forces, although far beyond the
meridian of life, still preserves mistaken
mind full of calmness and deliberate judg-
ment to aid in the full vindication of the
constitutional authority of the Federal Gov
'ernment and the maintenance of the Union
lin its integrity. must give an incident let
slip from the War Department day or two
ago that is strongly characteristic of his
GOODNESS and powerful ingenuity in military
skill.
"Several days ago the General was called
upon by Virginian, whom he recognized
as an old acquaintance. The visitor, after
taking seat, frankly acknowledged his al
llegiance to the Southern Confederacy, but
presumed that as he came a messenger of
mercy, he might safely claim, by the cour-
tesies of war, a friendly protection. Upon
the assurance of entire safety he told his
story thus: Il am in allegiance with the Con-
federate army, to which have literally sup

l support and justify resistance to the
Northern invasion, my individual sense of
honor and personal respect for your military
greatness impeled me to hazard my life in
crossing the borders that l might frankly
tell you that, in a den of conspirators plot
ting your assassination there is one who, at
regular intervals, without suspicion or ar
rest, visits your camps and communicates
with your officers. From my own personal
knowledge he has, under the guise of patri
otic devotion to Government, removed every
. obstacle, and he has thoroughly perfected
his plans, God only knows at what moment
they may be put into execution, and you be
assassinated'
"The General gratefully thanked him for
| his friendly devotion, and asked descrip
! tion of his treacherous murderer, which was
i; given in detail. After the departure of the
chivalric Virginian, the General instead of
being shocked, appalled,, or horror struck.
merely smiled, which to his secretary was
incomprehensible, who anxiously inquired
what it all meant? The Generals reply
was That's Bob again; he is beginning to
murder me as be did in Mexico. Bob's a
good spy, but he so often unnecessarily
troubles my friends that he must stop it,
