4 bu1ying party accordingly went over and
continued their labors to-day. During the truce
Col. Walton, chief Of General Longstreet, $
artillery informed some of our officers that
the Confederate infantry force engaged on
Sumner front on Saturday was only two brl-
eades, but that they had a large reserve near
By. He said the Federals exhibited the great
est bravery, but he considered their position
impregnable. and that force of 800, 600 would
find it impossible to carry the heights IN the
face Of their batteries.
The Confederate loss was small compared
with ours, from the fact that they were pro
tected by stonewalIs and rife pits. Our losses
as heretofore reported, have been considerably
decreased by arrivals OF straggers IN camp
The Confedesates took nearly eight hundred
prisoners from US, a considerable portion OF
evacuated the south side OF the rlver The
prisoners taken on both sides have been pa

addressed him nearly as follows:
"Say. Mister, have you got any whis.

"No sir" politely responded our good
friend.
Don't yer never drink whisky"
"No sir"
"W-a-a-l, that is too bad. I should

CONTROVERSIES ILL TIMED.

States to do with the question Of loyalty

of men are liable to do--he is soon to
pass away with all his deeds. but our
Government and country should, and if
we are true to them. they will endure for
countless ages to come. The President
with all the dignity and responsibilities
belonging TO his position, is but a pilot

Of the night.
Who will be SO Insane as to aid, how
ever indirectly, in scutllng the ship,
merely because he has quarrel wild the
pilot, from whose hands the helm is so
soon to be wrested? Who is willing that

TO THE POINT.

A good story and true one. is told Of
Gen. Duryea, while he was stationed at
Baltimore, as the Brigadier Commanding.
He addressed note to person who had
ordered a petty farmer upon his land.
some nine miles from town, to haul down
the national flag. The fathsr-in. law OF
this man, president of one Of the banks.
waited upon the General to know wheth.
er he had written the note. II did said
the General. care you the personT'
"No; l am his father ih-law.
II give you thirty minutes to prodtce
your son-in law in this cfficeP'
"But, General"
"Thilty minutes, SIR, thirty rninutes."
The two came at the appointed time;
and the offender confessed that lie had
committed the offence against the aag:
"You must, both Of you, take the
oath," said the General. land I give you
sir, two hours to hoist the flag upon the
same spot whers it was pulled down
But, General"
"Two hours, sir, two hours, or you
both 90 to Fort Nc cllenry" The aag
went up at the appointed time, and there
it has flYated ever since, and the two are
now sworn Clion men.
