Washington and the Corporal.

The following auecdote, which is by no means
new, is worth reading again, and some OF our
recently appointed officers would do well io
place it away in their pocket-boOlts, as sort OF
reminder when they are il danger OF becoming
too much elevated with a sense of their growing
Importance. y little brief authority sometimes
works strange changes in men {:
During the American revolution, it is said the
commander of little squad was giving orders
to those under him, relative to log OF timber
which they were endeavoripg to raise up to tile
top of some military works they " ere repairing.
The timber went up with difficulty, and on this
heard in regular vocifcrations Of
'Heave away there she goes heave no !
An officer not in military costume was pass

When the work was finished, turning to the

KENOsHA WISCONSIN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IA, 1861

L should, papa l know you cannot dc
wrong without feeling remorse. You must for
give Robert and spare him and us the conse-
quences of an exposure
l will avert the disgrace while l have the
power, Ella, but that will not be long if he goes
on at this rate. Do you know the sum he asks?
He asks none. l ask for him the sum you
refused before
We'll, then. give him that ,and bid him depart.
And may not tell him that you forgive
him?'
NO.
That you pity himl
NO
May not say that when he is reformed he
may come back to us and be received with open
hand and heart
Say nothing but what bid you, and de-
part
Ella returned to her brother,
There is the money, Robert, flinging the
purse on the table 'and now you must go back
with me and say to our father that you are sor-
ry you have made him miserable
He will turn me from the door,
And do you not deserve it?
ELLA = interposed the tender mother.
i do; that, and more
The excited girl clasped both her hands upon
her brothers arm and led the way up stairs,
while the trembling mother followed. When
they entered Mr.. Lanes room, the old man sat
in his arm chair, leaning over a table and rest
ing his forehead upon his clasped hands. The
heart of the erring boy was stricken at the
light. The sorrow that he had brought upon
mother and sister had been duly weighed, but
his stern father had never been reckoned among
the sufferers A loud convusive sob burst from
his bosom and he threw himself without word
at the old mans feet. The mother drew near
and joined her son, and, Ella first kissing her
fathers hand, placed it on Roberts head.
You forgive him, papa; you forgive poor
Robert. He shall never act wickedly again, he
is your only SON.
Bowling his head on the shoulder Of his son,
the old man wept aloud.
Stay with us, Robert at last he said /; stay
and make yourself worthy of the love that for
gives so much
Men never knew by what very hair hung
Robert Lanes welfare-that mere breath alone
had stood between him and ignominy. Years
afterwards. when he was an honored and re-
spected citizen, no one knew why he should
turn to the erring with encouraging words.
But yet white-haired man who watched his
course with an eagle eye, might often have been
heard muttering to himself, with proud and
wondering affection:
This, my son, was dead, aud is alive again !;
he was lost, and is found.

The first regiment of Berdan's sharpsbooters
was reviewed to-day, by Col Hudson, of Gen.
McClelan's staff The regiment went through
the various descriptions of drill particularly as
skirmishers, with degree Of precision that,
considering the men have been in service but
six weeks, was quite miraculous and ELECTED the
strongest praise from Col. II. Single compan-
les have On several occasions been detailed for
special Service across the Potomac, and have
rendered efficient service. The regiment now
consists of eight full companies, and as soon as
Sharp rifles with which they are to be armed,
are received, will be ready to take the position
OF leading the advance of the grand army when
ever Mcclellan is prepared for a movement.
Col Bordan. under the authority furnished
him by the Government, has accepted sixty
companies Of sharp-shootcs, which are rapidly
filing up in the various loyal States. The sec
ond regiment is expected to be here within two
weeks, ard the others within the course Of sixty
days. The drill, which is principally conduct
ed by Lieut. Mears, includes several hours
march each day under heavy knapsacks for the
purpose OF training the men to endure the
fatigue of forced marches,

The Old Continemtais.

Let us awaken the memories Of that glorious strugs
1d animate patriotism with the .'drum and tru
ct" lines of Guy Humphrey McMaster, wherein
attic of Bunker Hill is celebrated in verse that sour
Ike the roll of drums and the rattle Of musketry:
In their ragged regimentals
Stood the old Continentals,
Yielding not,
When the Grenadiers were lunging,
And like hail fell the plunging
Cannon shot;
When the files
OF the isles,
From the smoky night encampment,
Bore the banner of the rampant
Unicorn,
And drummer, grummer, drummer,
Rolled The roll of the drummer,
Through the morn
Then with eyes to the front all,
And with guns horizontal,
And the balls whistled deadly,
And in streams flashing redy
BlnZed the fires:
As the roar
On the shore
Swept the strong battle breakers
Ger the green sodded acres
OF the plain;
And louder, louder, louder,
Cracked the black gun-powder
Cracking amain
Now like smiths at their FORCES
Worked the red st. Georges
CannOniers;
And the "villainous salt pere''
Rung the fierce discordant metre
Round our ears;
AS the swift
Storm drift,
With hot sweeping anger,
Game the horse guards cangor
On our tanks.
Then higher, higher, higher,
Burned the old fashioned fire
Through the RANKS
Then the old fashioned Colonel
Galloped through the white Internal
Powder cloud;
And his broad sword was swinging,
And Ills braEen thr oat vas ringing
Trumpet loud.
Then the blue
Bullets few
And the trooper jackets ridden
At the to UGH of the eaden
Rifle breath.
And rounder, rounder, rounder,
Reared the iron six FOUNDER
Hurting death.

TRIVIAL CAUSE OF A FATAL REsULT--A
few days since, two travellers stopped for
the night at Evans hotel, at Evansville.
Oregon. One was Charles Williams and the
other David Butterlleld-entire strangers TO
each other. Supper being served, the boar
ders and guests, including Williams and
Butterheld, repaired to the table. 1t so
happened that they both continued at the
table after the rest had withdrawn. Up to
this time not word had passed between
them. Presently gentleman connected
with the house entered the supper-room,
and knowing Mr.. Williams very well, asked
if he desired to be served with anything
more. The reply was: "No, sir; but may
be my friend here would like something"
1t seems Butteriield took offense at the sar-
casm evinced in the remark, and applied
sharp admontion to Williams, in which he
hinted that he did not like to be spoken of
Familiarity by one so young as Mr.. w. An
apology was made by the latter, but But
terfield failed to receive it in the spirit in
which it was offered. From this, curt re-
torts aud sharp, harsh words wers exchang-
ed, until finally Butterleld applied a most
offensive epithet to Williams. which was in
stantly resented by slap in the face. A
brief scuflle ensued, but the parties were
separated before any serious injury was in
ficted upon either. They both repaired TO
the bar-room, and shortly the difficulty was
renewed. Williams, becoming very much
enraged, seized heavy wooden stool near
by and with it struck Butter6eld upon the
head crushing blow, which fractured the
frontal bone aud felled him unconsciously
to the floor. The wounded man was carried
up stairs, and a messenger dispatched with
haste for DR.. Brooks. But be was past all
human aid, and, after four hours almost un-
conscious suffering, Butterfeld breathed his
last.

GREAT DISTRIBUTION,
AS YOU will expend Dollars for Pictures

The Bulletin correspondent Of the 9th Of October
in critcising the different Photographic Pictures at
the last State Fair says:
s'On the opposite wall hang the contributions OF
J. Shew Of san Francisco. These also are most cred
table specimens Of the Photographic art. Among
tbero is fe-size head and bust Of Senator BrOder
ick-probably the most perfect which has been made
of the late Senator. Side by side with these hang
series Of most wretched libes on the art contributed
by some one in Nevada. They serve, however TO
set of to better advantage the productions Of more
skillful competitors.
As that paper don't give thename Of the artist who
send such pictures, it must be known, that A.
IIEBERT, the Photographic Artist Of Broad street.
published in the papers Of Nevada, that he was the
only one in this city who sent pictures to the State

With this general comment on the subject
in hand, we desire to submit 10 our coniem-
porary:
LIST. Whether il is in favor of any further
effort of spy sort, on the part Of the people of
Tennessee. to continue the Union, and to re-
store IL TO its integrity as whole
1od. If so, in what shall that effort consist,
and what propositions shall it embrace
3rd. Is 1t in favor of going out of the
Union Internationally, and joining the Con
federate States at once2
4th. If not, would it accept the PROPOSE
ton submitted by the late Peace Conference,
as sufficient to justify Tennessee in remaining
in the Union? t-i
These questions are based on the existing
status of the country, and are not PROFOUND
ed in view of anything that might happen
hereafter, such as civil war, or direct at
tempt on the part of the Republican Admin
istration to interfere, by legislation, with the
rights of persons or property, either in the
States or Territories And in order that our
respected contemporary may have no hesita-
ton on the subject. and that it may have no
unsatisfied curiosity as to our own views, we
answer, for ourselves, the first question in
the affirmative the second, in favor of the
Peace Conference proposition the third, in
the negative and the fourth, in the affirm
alive.
