The Tempest of War.

Around Old Point Comfort the fields look
as they do in Eastern Europe in the track
of the Russian armies-utterly swept clean
of fences, crops, and sometimes trees, as if
flock of desolation locusts had flown over.
The track now of the grand army in Vir-
ginia is trail of observation-disclosures de-:
stroyed, houses abandoned, crops consumed.
Scarcely human being not connected with
the army appears. The tremendous words
of the old Roman historian come up to
mind They make solitude and call it
peace" Not all of this, of course, is due
to our troops. The secessionists began by
driving out and prosecuting the Union men,
and now there, in their turn, flee. The bit
terests OF all hatreds appears to be, that of
the one Virginian to the other. Virginia
has deliberately and with consideration
sown, and now she reaps the whirlwind.
The State which has lived on the basest
traffic that ever disgraced humanity, now,
for the sake of no interests OF her own, must
see her bueatiful fields utterly burned and de-
vastated by the storm of war. This fearful
contest has only begun. 1t will grow more
bloody and devastating. We believe every
county in the richest portion of the State
will be utterly trampled and wasted. We
expect to hear of towns burned, and miles
of rich forests consumed-perhaps by the
citizens themselves, ia their desperation.
Thousands of innocent families will be ruin
ed.
Virginia-ike districts in Asia-may be
in future history principally known as a
once fertile land, utterly ruined and made
barren by the tempest of war-a war forced
upon her by her own injustice ard want Of
wisdom-Cor. N Times.

The Missouri correspondent of the New
York Times writes
One of the principal features of the march
are General Lyon and his German body
guard. The latter is composed of ten ath-
letic st. Louis butchers, each mounted on
a powerful horse and armed with heavy
cavalry sword and a pair of navy revolvers;
each wears light hat, turned up on the left
side, aud decorated with white ostrich
plume. Almost any time General Lyon,
accompanied by half dozen of these say
age looking fellows, may be seen spurring
along the line, or a small squad of them, or
singly galloping ferccly to the front or rear,
or straight out into the open country. If
the General goes into house half dozen
of them will be seen in front standing like
iron statues at the brides of their horses
if he scOurs along in advance of the train,
the clanking of their long sabers is heard
beside him-stop where he will, there may
be always seen a stOlid squad of horsemen
awaiting patiently his movement. They
are fearless riders-jump fences on dead
run, leap bitches, gallop down steep de-
scents, and, in fact, never ride less fast than
their horses can run, unless compelled by
some urgent necessity. Independent of their
duty as body-guards, they act as messen
gers, scouts, &C., and in consequence, have
plenty to do. They are commanded by
Lieutenant and from their appearance
and daring horsemanship will, if the occa-
sion demands, whip dozen times their
weight in chivalry.

There is some news here, but not much.
Billy Wilson's Zouaves are becoming accli

Gen. Mccall, the newly appointed Ma.
jor General of the Pennsylvania three years.
volun teers. (appointed by Gov. Curtin has
arrived here with the first instalment of the
new levy, and more are to come speedily.
Gen. Mccall is graduate at West Point,
was former officer in the regular army,
and won three brevets for valor in the Mex
ican war, besides being personal favorite
with Gen. Taylor. 1t is to be hoped we
shall suffer no disappointment in his case
such as is now being intensified in the case
of General Patterson. This officer (Patter.
sony has actually sent home, as it appears
here, several regiments of three months
men from Pennsylvania and Indiana, who
offered to serve ten days longer and until
Banks might take command. The demor-
alization of his splendid corps is such as to
require all the administrative ability of
General Banks to repair damages. The
feeling against General Patterson here, in
Philadelphia and among his own troops is
very strong. Gen. Banks cannot take COM
mand in that quarter moment too soon.
We have no doubt, here, that Gen. John.
seon has gone back to Winchester with bis
column, hoping to find Patterson's column
so demoralized as to fall an easy enemy, and
leave him in possession, once more, Of the
positions of the upper Potomac.
He will find, 10 General Banks, policy
quite unlike that to which be has been &C.
customed.
-Four regiments have arrived here to-day,
three from Pennsylvania and one from New
York, the latter being one Of the SO called
Sickles Brigade. We hear Of numerous
other regiments on the way here. All the
former interest Of our people is beginning
to be manifested over the arrival Of fresh
troops. We need them all, and they were
never more heartily welcomed.

SCENE IN CeNaREss-MR. CR1TrENDEN.
The scene presented by the Senate and
House of Representatives is indescribable.
The gloom hung like pail over both
Houses, and no one seemed to have the
heart to transact the public business. No
one seemed to feel this more intensely
than Mr.. Crittenden, of Kentucky. When
he rose on Monday morning he asked,
"Well, what further news?" He had gone
to bed under the delusion that the Federal
army had triumphed. ave are routed

DONATION VISITS.


Almost every day during the present win
ter we have heard of some lucky Rev Mr..
-, who has been made the recipient of a
certain amount of dollars and cents together
with " clothing, provisions, &c, sufficient to
make an aggregate of s.. This all looks
and sounds very well when published and
read in the papers, (as of course it must be,
else an essential feature in the programme is
omitted. The last and most ludicrous ac-
count of such an occasion is given in the bds-
burgh Standard of last week, which closes as
follows
Supper was announced at about nine, and when we

Call this burlesque, or call it what you
please, it is but magnifed account Of what
actually transpires at almost all the " dona-
ton visits" we so often see noticed. We look
upon the majority of such visits as ridieu-
lous in the extreme, and perversion of our
charities while in large minority Of the ca
SEES, they are humiliating to the recipients
We are yet to learn the proprety of bestow-
ing gifts upon the clergyman, who receives a
stipulated salary for his services, while we
pass by the doors of the widow and the or
phan, who really need the clothing, which the
Rev. Mr.. -- is amply able to provide foI
himself, and the food which, though it goes
to make up the grand total Of s. in the
donation account, is often appropriated as in
the case above referred to- There are un.
doubtedly necessitous cases among the cler'
gy, which demand an exercise Of charity but
when members of the church seek to surfei
their already well paid minister, their charity
ceases to be christian virtue, ana to the
world at least, looks more like purchasing the
good opinion of the Rev. Mr.. --. L
! your minister is not sufficiently remuneratet
for his services so that he can live and sup
port his family without such charities, rails,
his salary, place him above need, but don
humiliate him by asking him to receive as
" donation what rightfully belongs to him
in payment for services rendered and ther

the poor. Of whom there are an abundanc,

Coon BLooD.-Mr. J. A. Ferguson, of
Eden, tells story of colt of his, that would
be hard to believe, did we not know him to
be man of truth and yeracity. He says that
on Friday, the 25th ult., while he was absent
from home, two spring colts we're accidental
ly let out Of the barn, and that one Of them
was soon missed. On his retsrn home on
Sunday evening, the 9th the colt had not
been found. Surprising it to have strayed to
some OF the neighbors no effort was made to
find it that night; but on Monday morning.
having occasion to go to his sawmill, he found
the colt down in the wheelpit standing in a
bout two feet of water II had entered the
mill and walked on to a plank, one end of
which had tipped up and let the little fellow
fall some II feet into the water, where it had
evidently stood since being missed on Friday
some GA hours Ropes were procured, and
the colt released from its uncomfortable quar-
tiers and although so long in the water, and
without food, 1t was so far from being used
up, that on attempting to lead it away, the
person making the attempt was thrown down
by its struggles, aud would have lost his hold
but for the assistance Of another person. The
colt was quite hungry, after so long fast,
but not in the least thirsty Mr.. F. thinks
that had not the colt been an Abdallah," it
could not have lived through the trial, any
way.-Newsdeaier,
