An Anecdote Of Cassius NJ. Clay-nis Quar-
rel with Tom MarshRII
The following capital story, told Of Csssius
NJ. Clay, of Kentucky we believe has never
before been in print, ItEfll be remembered
that Mr.. Clay servedsbs captain Of COM
pany of Kentuckiaus in Mexico until, taken
prisoner by the enemy, be was compelled to
remain an inactive spectator Of scenes in
which he would gladly have been an actor,
Thomas F. Msrshall, the fluent orator and
illimitable imbiber, was also a captain in the
same regiment with Clay. Marshall was in
the habit Of coming drunk on parade, much
to the disgust of all, aud greatly to the dis
order and breach of all discipline in the reg
iment. Captain Clay, though the strictest
of all the captains in obeying the army rules
and in requiring obedience, determined to
give Captain Marshall hint of his disap-
proval. So, as soon as he became 'oiicer Of
the day." when his command was second
only to that of the Colonel, he put on his
military paraphernalia, and, riding up to the
gusrd-bouse, cried out in loud voice: "Of
ficer of the guard" and when the guard of
fcer appeared, he said: 81 command you to
empty the guard house of all the prisoners
so long as l have command in this regiment
no soldiers shall be punished while captains
are allowed to violate the rules of war with
impunity. The guard.house was emptied,
and a great expectation was excited to see
the issue of this fagraut breach of duty.
But no notice was taken by the Colonel o.
the affair.
At the next encampment the famous quar-
rel took place between Captains Clay and
Marshall, in the presence Of the whole regi'
ment. Clay proposed to fight Marshall or
the spot with broadswords; but Marshal
| pleaded that it would embroil the regiment
Tbereupon Clay most bitterly replied, tha
Marshall, at Lexington, did not fear to en-
broil, by his inHammatory appeals, the peo
pie in an affray where women and children
were endangered; but here, where two me
on equal termS where men wore swords
with war as their profession, he feared Il
embroil othersl 1t was the plea of poltroor
and assassin p The next day Marshall trieC
to drown himself and bis modification in tn,
San Juan RIVER Such was Clay's revenge
upon the leader of the mob of 1916.

A CONTRAST between American and Eng
lish girls, showing large balance in favor
of the physical development of the latter, we
have just read. The English girls make
recreation and exercise part of their employ
ment, deeming them no loss Of time, as
American parents are too much in the habit
of regarding them, and hence the difference.

COLONEL GARFIELD.-The New York World
of the 18th inst. says of our brave Northern
Ohio Colonel:
Colonel Garfield, the Kentucky hero, who
so sgnally routed the Falstaf1ian Humphrey
Marshall, is well known in Rensselaer,
County. He is still quite young man, aud
few years ago. when student at William
the "Disciples" churches at Poestenkill and
Milyille, and preaching to those congrega-
tions. On leaving college he went to Ohio
and became president of an institution OF
learnipg-abaudonin that position, how
ever, at the call Of his country. He is known
in the army 8s the Praying Colonel" and
is almost "John Balfour of Burley" in his
rigid piety, yet high courage.

The Army nt WOrk-Let Congress Work
Too.
We have every reason to think that the
late brilliant affair in Kentucky will be fol-
lowed up by equally successful blows in other
quarters. start has been made, and it may
be this is the entering wedge, and that our
forces will now commence moving in all
directions We think it pretty we'll settled
that between this and the lst of May we shall
either bave to subdue the rebels, 20 deal with
them as we please, or we shall have our
selves to submit to the Southern yoke. Day
after Cay, then, for some months to come, we
shall hear of fresh encounters, involving a
large loss of life. The next will probably be
between General Burnside's expedition and
the enemy, TO be followed by important
movements by General Buers column in
Kentucky; perhaps by an advance of the
grand army Of the Potomac itself. From
the indications that reach US from every
point, it is certain that the operations just
impending will render the campaign one of
the bloodiest and most terrible on record.
While our gallant soldiers are thus fighting
the battles Of the country, it will not do for
Congress TO continue to waste its time ia un-
profitable discussions. For a season at least
there must be no further question of the mig
ger. Let its members apply themselves at
once to the reconstruction Of the public
inazCes, and TO providing for the wants Of
our armies, or we promise them that the
people will again have an uprising aud make

What the Latc Colonel CroEhan Thought
Otthe War.

Our readers will remember that the rebel
Colonel Croghan was captured by our forces,
some weeks since on the Kanawha, that he
soon died from bis wounds, but before dying
expressed regret to General Benham for tho
part he had been forced TO take in the war.
We have now from the narrative Of Captain
Spraeue, delivered on the evening of the
18th at Sandusky, other proof of Ccogban's
regret. Captain Sprague, in speaking of his
capture and journey to Richmond, said:
Lieutenant. Colonel Croghan, who was in
command of the party, was son of Colonel
CrOgban of Fort Stephenson memory. One
day, as we were riding together, took occa-
sion tc speak 20 him of the war. | said to
him that ia the section of country where |
came from, they had been taught to revere
the name of your father. 1t is a mystery to
me how you came to occupy the position in
which End you-6ghting against the flag
which your father so much honOTed. Cox
onel Croghan was silent for time, when The
replied: This is the most upholy war the
earth has ever known. If there was ever q
war concocted and set on foot by the devils
| in hell, this is it. l wish it was over and
we're out Of it, and | have no doubt he
| spoke the truthful convictions of his heart
Poor Croghan, the war is not over, but hC

Correspondence Of the n. Y. Tribune1
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 1862.
At the leave taking of General James II.
Lane at the White House, on Friday, P. ~,
a conversation occurred, so remarkable and
important in its scope, and SO evidently de.
signed for the public eye, that | feel at lib

bune.
There were present at the time President
Lincoln, General Lane, Senator Pomeroy,
Commissioner Dole, O few members OF the
House, and group of officers and clerks
from the different departments Of Govern
ment.
On turning to leave, General Lane said;
"Well, Mr.. Lincoln, you know my way; L
shall pursue the policy wiA which ! began,
and somebody will get hurt"
To which the President replied:
eyes, General, l understand you. And
the only difference between you and me isi
that you are willing to surrender fngitiVes
TO loyal owners in case they are willing to
return; while I do not belitCs the United
States Government has any right to give them
up in any case. And il il had the people
would not permit US to exercise it."
General Lane rejoined
THAT remark, Mr.. President, makes me
happier than any thing that has transpired
since the commencement of the war. Aud
if you will announce that as the active policy
of the Administration, and let US win on'
victory on it, you will be the m)st popular
man ever on this continent"
Mr.. Lincoln returned nod OF earnest &C
| acknowledgement, and another prominent OH
Ger present added
81 have been aching to ask you, Mr.. Pres
ident, why you do not, without asking tn,
consent of Congress, or any body else, &C
| quire or set apart some territory somewher
in the South, and say to the negroes in tn,
rebel States: Here come out and go owe
there, and we will protect you in the posses
sion ard your own freedom
After some other general remarks, tn
General and his friends withdrew.
The General with his staff, leaves the cit.

sas. and, having won the contested seat il
the United States Senate, he now avOws hi
intention to go before the Legislature of IN
