AN ARRIVAL FROM THE SourH.-We

AN ARRIVAL FROM THE SouTH.-We
conversed yesterday with a gentleman
who has travelled pretty extensively
recently in the far South. We have
known him personally for years, and
have full confidence in his statements.
He represents that the people Of the
South are greatly alarmed. and that
they entertain the very worst fears as
to the result of the war. The blow
which has been struck by the Federal
fleet in South Carolina has contributed
to highten their fears, and many COM
munities are bordering on despair In
some sections a strong Union senti-
ment exists, but the expression of that
sentiment is suppressed by the rebel
lious rabble.
Our informant Travelled from New
Orleans to Memphis, and thence to
Bowling Green by way of Nashville
He saw no troops between New Or
leans and Memphis, and presumes that
the enlistment Of soldiers has ceased,
the resources of the South having been
pretty well exhausted.
The prices of the necessaries Of life
at the South, he says, are very high,
which are owing to some extent to the
scarcity Of par funds. Gold and Ken
lucky money commands a premium Of
fifteen TO twenty % cent, and can be
obtained only with great difficulty at
those rates.
He had but little opportunity to OBJ
tain intelligence in reference to the
rebel force in the vicinity of Bowling
Green, but he does not think it so
great as has been represented. There
are no batteries at Nashville, the au-
thorities not having deemed that point
in the least danger from Federal in
vssion.-Lou. Jour.
Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1861-12-12

rying away, she buried the bitterness
Of that morning in her own heart.
= tt was four o'clock on the same day.
Sarah Goodwin sat beside scanty fire,
busy in sowing patches on very poor
clothes of her four boys.
Run to the door, Jimmy, said she to
the eldest, as loud knock was heard.
'Ohl Mother the boy cried, return
ing; "a big bundle for usl What is it?
What can il be?
work for me perhaps said the wild
ow, untying the large package, when
suddenly there came to light four suits
of grey clothes, with four neat black
shining caps, exactly fitting TO the
heads Of her boys. Almost overcome
with wonder, the widow fell on her
knees, her eyes fixed on the words:-
"a present for the fatherless;' while
her boys laying hold of their suits of
clothes, danced about the floor with
glee.
Whats in the pocket here? what's
in the pocket?' cried Jimmy, thrusting
his hand into that place, when, lol out
came the very purse of gold the widow
had returned that morning.
A scene Of joyous confusion followed,
and the voice of prayer assembled from
Sarah Goodwin's full heart. Again
and again she counted the glittering
treasure, fifty dollars. 1t seemed an
almost endless fortune. How her heart
ran over with gratitude to God and the
stranger.
She could not rest till throwing her
bonnet on, with cheeks glowing with
hope and happiness, she ran back to
the hotel to pour forth her thanks.
A carriage stood at the door ladened
with trunks behind. The driver noun
ted the seat as she had reached the
steps, and turning her head, there
within sat the stranger. She had not
time to speak, but he nodded his head
as he saw her with her clasped hands
standing there. and a prayer on her
lips. Sarah never saw the stranger
again. She took a little shop and
stocked it well, and put her boys to
school. To-day she is the owner of a
respectable shop. Of her four boys.
two are ministers, one is doctor, and
the other is thriving mechanic.
Nobody knows where the man with
the flowing hair is gone; but if he is
living and should ever hear of widow
Goodwin, he will have the consolation
Of knowing the noble result of this gen.
erous deed towards the worthy woman
and her four boys.

YANKEE HoRsEs FOR TIE FRENcH
EMPEKoR.-The horses, twelve in NUM-
Der. purchased by Prince Napoleon on
his recent visit TO this country, and de-,
signed for the Emperor Nepoleon.. were
Fpfaced on board the French sfanspert
Orione. now lying at Union wharf, yes
terday forenoon. The animals were
placed in well padded boxes, with feed
ing hangers attached to each, and
slung on board and placed on the sec
ond deck on each side Of the main hatch,
where the boxes are so secured that, in
the event of stormy weather, their po-
sition will not be disturbed. The ami
mails are severally slung in the boxes,
so no harm can come to them by the
pitching or rolling Of the vessel. The
horses have not been chosen with re-
gard to uniformity of color, as they in
clude blacks, bays, browns and one
white. They are very finely bred ami
mails, and will contrast favorably with
the chunky, round and plump-propor-
toned Netherlands horses which are so
common in France, (which. by the way.
Paris is said to be). or the blooded
grades which come in part of that heavy
headed stock. We could obtain no
specific information relative to the ORR
gin of the horses in question; all we
could glenn on board the Orione was
that they were of Western New York
and New England stock, the crack de-
scriptions which belong to the several
branches Of the Morgan family. The
story OF an export Of sheep and swine
by the same ship is not true. Quite
number Of these descriptions Of animals
were taken on board, but they are con-
signed to the butcher.-Boston Jour
nal, 29tk.

TIE HANDLING OF TRooPs-wHAr

TIE HANDLING OF TRooPs-WHAr
THE PoroxAc ARMY CAN Do.-The Ma
tional Intelligencer says:
There were some circumstances at
tendant on the recent great review Of
the army on the Potomac which may,
perhaps, deserve a special mention, as
serving to show at least the capacity
that exists for the speedy massiDg Of
troops in that quarter. We understand
that the seventy-seven regiments Of in
fantry, the eight regiments of cavalry,
and the seventeen batteries Of field ar
tillery which participated in that pa
geant were summoned and gathered for
that purpose from their widely sepsra-
ted stations on a notice Of only twenty
four hours. The task of accomplishing
this result in the time specified was COM
mitted by Gen. Mcclellan TO Gen. Nc
Dowell, and the efficiency with which
that accomplished officer discharged the
duty assigned him was sufficiently at
tested BY the success Of the review,
which, besides presenting a brilliant
military display, afforded to the young
General-in' Chief a pressge OF the re-
lance he can place on the expedition
that will be brought to the ful6llment
Of his orders whenever it shall be me-
cessary 10 combine the forces now IN
the field for any operations of an active
character.

The SIXTH Ono REeMxsr.-Tbis
! fine body of men, the Guthrie Grays,
was raised in the City Of Cincinnati, and
has been in active service in Western
Virginia for the last six months. Hav-
ing been recently ordered to this city
the officers and soldiers were greatly in
hopes that they would be permitted to
stop on their way at home for two or
three days to enable them to see their
families and friends. This privilege
was denied to them on account of the
urgency of the service; but, in snticips-
ton that such would be the case when
the steamers containing them reached
Cincinnati. the ringing of the fire bells
gave notice OF their approach, and the
public landing was thrOnged by fathers,
mothers, wives, sisters, and sweethearts
anxions to meet the long separated
loved ones. The disappointment was
severe when it was ascertained that the
orders were peremptory to proceed with
all despatch to this place. The gallant
boys repressed their tears and sighs, !
gave the cid city rousing cheers as they
approached it and more sublued ones
as they glded down the stream at part
ing. But their friends were not to be
disappointed, some two hundred of
them, mostly ladies Of course, took
passage at noon on the mailboat for our
city without bringing any baggage, hop
ing to meet them here for moment or
two. When the regiment arrived at 5
O'Clock they were all on the landing,
but not soul was allowed to 90 on
board. The soldiers of the Guthrie
Grays Obeyed the command and pre-
vented their dearest friends from in
fringing upon the orders. The regi-
ment was marched up to the Nashville
depot where a breakfast was provided,
and there scene ensued which beggars
description. The meetings between
long sundered relatives, the gushing i
tears of Joy, the>feryent embraces of {
the holy outbursts of sisterly |
affection and the coy but delicious rap I
ture Of others who scanned the crowd I
SO eagerly to catch glimpse Of some f
loved form who had been the object Of {
nightly dreams for weary months, were t
louchingly tender. The meeting was i
happy one and for some time no order
vas given to interrupt what became G
Unexpectedly aloTe-feast. Let us hope
