The RecOnCiIia tiOn,
OR WHAT 1 OWE THE WAR.

We were standing there, Faith
and /, by the railroad, with some
two or three hundred other women
young and old; a crowd of noisy
children, and here and there an old
man or a halfgrown lad, all assem-
bled to wait the passing fthe train
that was bearing the-rogiment
on it's way to Washington.
There was a company from our
village among them, though they
had started to-day from the State
capitol, and many n mother, wife
and sister in tho crowd was wait.

that should meet hers again no

might be for eyer!" 80 that they
were for the most part quiet and
subdued, though burning with a
sort Of inward fever of impatience
for the meeting, that must be, after
all, so sadly brief, so terribly unsat-
istying.
Faith was excited. Her checks
glowed, her eyes shone like stars;
and as she stood there, her brown
curls swaying in the breeze, / could
not but think it IA great pity that she
had no young lover among the ap-
preaching volunteers, who would
carry away in his heart this radiant
picture Of girlish grace and beauty.
But sho had not-only some old
acquaintances and childhood friends
so that there was but a dash Of re-
gret to temper her exultation in
their bravery and in the cause they
were going so nobly to uphold.
AS for me, was very, very sad.
My heart ached terribly, because
-strangest of all reasons-I had no
one to grieve for.
"NO," | thought bitterly, "there
is not one in all these thousands
that are marching steadfastly da
by day to meet death, if need be, to
to whom / could say, "God bless
and keep you and bring you safe
home againl" not one to whom this
parting will be the wreDching as
under Of heartstrings for my sake"
And then came back to me, or
rather grew more vivid in my re-
nembrancs-for its image lay al
ways, night and day, in the shadowy
recesses ofmy heart-the love that,
two years gone by, had made one
summer Of my life long, bright
dream Of perfect content, without a
single shadow Of alloy, until, all in
a moment arose the terrible storm
that was to make such utter ship
wreck with my happiness.

A correspondent Of Plain Deal
or, writing from New Creek on tho
97th inst gives an account of the
capture of Romncy by the forcoun-
der Gen. Kelley. The force was
concentrated at New Greek and
consisted of about 500 Of the 3d,
4th, aud 7th Virginia regiments,
700 Of tho Sth Ohio, 200 Of the 4th
Ohio and 100 cavalry, together
with 4 pieces OF artillery. They
marched from here at midnight
Friday last, and our forces came
upon tho cnCmy's outposts Satur-
day afternoon, about 5 miles this
side of Romney. They were driv-
en- in after the exchange Of few
shots, and our boys pushed on to-
wards the town. Arriving at the
South branch of the Potomac wo
found the enemy in position, with
cannon, cavalry and infantry. -
They pepporcd away ut us, and at
this point Nc lost the first and only
man during the engagement. The
rebels had their cannon planted IN
the grave yard, just across the riv-

laying under tho ground there did
not frighten the secoshcrs, the mis-
siles of death which our boys hurl-
ed at them surely did, for they
gave way, and the cannon wac

thrown up brcastworks, and Capt
kinney's men were among the frs
to mount them. The rebels were
eoon in full retreat towards Win
chester, pursued by our cavalry
, which captured their provisi6i
train. Three teamsters, who re
fused to turn their horses arount
when ordered, were killed upon th,
! spot, one of whom had his hea,
sabrod from his body, and the 9th
or two shot as they sat upon thei
wagons. The force of the enem,
numbered about 1900, one.hal

cannon, all their provisions, cam
equipage, two wagon loads Of mus
kets, blankets, dc. We took
good many prisoners, and killet

upon our side amounts to one kille,

crat.
TiPToN, Oct. 2S.

TiPToN, Oct. 2S.
A scout who came into Sedalia
yesterday, reports that Price is
moving for Springfield with hls
whole command, where it is GER
tain he intends to mako q stand.
McCulloch is reported on Grand
Prairie, with 10000 men.
Prices men are represented to
be so dissatisfied with the prospect
OF leaving the State, that they will
force him to make a stand. They
say they are State troops; that
they enlisted to fight in the State,
and they won't 60 out Of it without
a fight.
The Seccssionists offer to bet
largely that Price will give Fre-
mont battle, and whip him.
Gen. Kennedy, who has Just re-
turned from Prices army, to Soda
liza, rcitcrates the same thing, and
says Price will have more re-cn.
forcements than the Government
dreams of.
General Lane entered Pleasant
Hill the other day, and after plant
ing the United States flag called
the citizens together, and made
them a speech, in which he told
them that that flag has been your
protection and shall be still. So
long as it remains here you are
safe, but if it is cut down, by the
Eternal, i willreturn and burn your
town!
He then withdrew with his men,
and although the inhabitants are
all Secessionists, and this affair oc-
Cured two weeks ago, that flag is
still waving over the town.
Large numbers Of Secessionists
are returning to this part Of the
country every day from the rebel
army, and their increasing strength
is exciting considerable alarm
among tho Union citizens, who
fear that as soon as the troops
leave they will renew their depre-
dations.
A secessionist was heard to say
in Sedalia, tho other day, that If
the Government were going to send
any more stores up there, they had
better keep two or three regiments
to guard them.
Such notorious rebels as DIR.
Newland and George Kennedy Of
Georgetown, who have fought with
Price in all the battles since Boon.
Vile, are allowed to return on their
parole.
Oren Priest, who was taken with
such papers on his person as would
have hung him as a spy, has been
released.
These things are exciting bitter
comment among tho Union people
here.
Some ofthem are leaving again.
Among them John Phillips, mem.

informed, gives as the cause, tho

THE BED OF THE Misunderstanding in the Atlantic, according to AA Me Fear Round, have revealed the fact that at least two hundred and thirty miles from the coast of Ireland, the water is still shallow or in other words, that there is another Ireland only waiting to be raised--thus reversing the famous penacea for keeping the country quiet. It is just beyond this that the true Atlantic begins, the gulf suddenly sinking 5000 feet. Thus Ireland may one day have coast lii as high as the Alps. The whole floor of the Atlantic is paved with soft. sticky sub- stance called ooze, nine tenths consisting of very minute animals, many of them mere Jumps of jelly, and thousands of which could float with ease in drop of water; some resembling tooth ed wheels; others bundles of spines or threads shooting from a little globule. Some, however,
 gre endowed with the property of separating
 flint from the sea water--which is more than every chemist could do; and there are hundreds of square miles covered with the skeletons of these little creatures. Part of this ooze is doubtless from the clouds of ran-dust which rise from the vast st .ppes of South America in such ma ses as to darken the sun and make the ani- mals fly to shelter, and which, after sweeping like simeon over the country, lose themselves in the "steep Atlantic" No bones have been found of the larger animals, so that the kraken or sea-serpent might sleep their last sleep, and leave not bone or vertebra to tell the tale.-- Not mast or anchor, not block or strand, nor coin or a keepsake has been found to testify of the countless gallant ships and more gallant men who have gone down amid the pitiless waves

CAPITAL JoKE.-A milit 'ry company in full uniform was called out a short time since by the sheriff of Worcester O., Maryland, to capture pungy which was taking oysters against the law. The company in batteau, proceeded to the conflict The captain of the pungy went below and got out stovepipe, mounting it cannon style over the .bulwarks, and standing at one end with big lump of charcoal lighted and spark ling. The moment was critical, with every ad- vantage on the side of the captain of the pungy, who straightened up, and at arms length prepar- ed to apply the match. Simultaneously as he thrust the chunk of fire into the end of the stove pipe, the military jumped overheard. and such a i" sloshing about" and diving was never witnessed in the waters eff Worcester. Itis needless to add that, while the military were under water the captain of the pungy hoisted sal, and bid fare we'll to the waters of Maryland, and that, since this marvellous adventure, the military company aforesaid, for behaving so galiantly, has been called the |" Stove-Pipe Invincibles."

MASTER AND ScHoLAR.--There was learned pedagogue at NantucSet, in Nostate, who used every morning to read few verses in the Bible. and expound the text, as he proceeded, in order that he might ascertain who were the bright boys of his school, by asking them questions as to how much they remembered of his common tary. On one occasion he read from the first chapter of Job thus:
 "There was man in Uz, and his name was Job, who feared God and eschewed evil" Els chewed evil; that is, he eschewed evil as do tobacco--he would have nothing to do with it. '
 With this very clear and forcible elucidation of the meaning of the word eschew, he proceed ed until the usual number of verses were read and commented on. in a similar manner. After proper interval when the young mind had time to digest it's food, the pedagogue called up one of the younger boys, and the following dialogue ensued.
 "Who was the man that lived in Uz?"
 "JOb."
 "Was he good man ?"
 "Yes."
 "What did he dol"
 He chewed tobacco when nobody else would have anything to do with it"

Gracious! how cold The winds are out, And frisk about; And on the wold
 High drifts the snows- The streams are froze, And 1 am old. In single bliss,
 sit and poke
 My fire, and smoke; No lips to kiss,
 No arms to twine This neck of mine, No smile to miss. So sad O nights,
 So lonely days.
 Through life s dark ways And OCT it's heights, walk alone
 My pathway strown With lost delights. A shabby coat,
 Shirts buttonlcss, A faded tress, A tinted note,
 Is all I'm worth Upon this earth, Except my vote. Oh, Sally Jane,
 Thou fickle fair, I'll never swear By love again,
 For all your sighs Were pretty lies, To mask disdain.

FOR THE LITCHFIELD ENIUIRER ADVICE TO SOUTH CAROLINA. BY ONE OF HER SISTERS.
 Sister come my dear,
 am sorry to hear That you are intending to leave us; They say it's fact,
 That your trunk is all packed, And you hope by such conduct to grieve us. You have always been naughty, And willful and naughty, Like spoiled minx as you are
 So vain of your beauty,
 Forgetful of duty, You owe to indulgent papa!
 am sure you can't say
 You have not had your way, In each of our family broils
 While VOW and declare,
 You've had yonr full share In each of the National spells.
 Just wait for a season
 And listen to reason, Nor believe what your false lovers say, For their prayers and their signs, And their fattering lies, Will lead you to ruin some day.
 Though thy Promise so fair, Gay deceivers they are, From the one whom last evening you kissed, To Hammond and Rhett,
 And chivalrous Keitt Orr, Mimminger, Pickens and Gist. Some day all forlorn,
 Bcdraggled and torn, Like the prodigal Son in his need, You will knock at the door And come home once more, Nor venture again to secede.
 Now be warned of your fate, Before it's too late, Like Q dear little innocent lamb;
 Come out of your pet
 And do not forget, All the kindness of good Uncle Sam. The Palmetto tree,
 No shelter will be, When the dark clouds of anarchy lower, You will long for the rest Of your own Eagles nest, And the strong arm of Federal power. Then little Siss
 Now give mo kiss, To make up the family jars,
 Secession shall never
 Our Union discover: Hurrah for the Stripes and the Stars.
