CAMP SHIELDS, NEAR WINCHESTER,
Mnnln,r Mnrnl, LII ,EO


Editors C,ronicLe:-Since my last writing
much of Importance has transpired, which
will be recorded with triumph upon the
historic page. Perhape not the least of
those memorable events was the move
ment of the Grand Army of the Poto-
mac" and the attendant success of its
maneuyers and strategy. Within very
short space-of time, the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad has been rescued from the des-
troying influence of rebel power, Lees
burg, Centreville and Manassas have been
evacuated, and occupied by our forces
Martinsburg. Harper's Ferry and Charles
town are freed from rebel influence, and
last but not least, that stronghold, the
Virginia Sabastopol." Winchester is ours.
You remember Munson's Hill, and the
painted log and stovepipe which frouned
so threateningly and so long upon u.s.
One Munson Hill does not suffice in this
war. Winchester has long been an eye
sore to this department, having been uni
formly reported assbeing. strongly forti-
fed, so much so that it was called the
Sebastopol of Virginia.
Acting upon the supposition that this
was the case, the forces under Banks,
Shields, Williams, Mccall and Sedgwick
simultaneously advanced and on the 18th
inst, after slight skirmish with Ashby's
Cavalry, our advance-one of Banks
brigades-entered the city and planted
the Stars and Stripes where so lately the
''stars and bars" unfolded its sickly glare.
Need we say the appearance of our old
flag was hailed with delight? That would
not express the tenth part of the joy felt.
1t will be remembered that the town of
Winchester voted heavy majority for the
Union, except when the vote for the rati-
fication of the ordinance of secession was
taken, and would then, had the Unionists
been allowed to poll their votes. 1t is
unnecessary for me to give you the de-
tails, as you must have received them ere
this.
Winchester was thriving town of some
seven thousand inhabitants, before the
war, but it has suffered fearfully from the
blasting touch of Secession. Business Is
at q standstill, large stores are empty, ho-
tels closed for want of patronage, shops
of all kinds silent, in fact nothing is going
on. everything is wanted. Upon our ar

Stand we al life's gilded portal
In our youths empurpled dawn,
Gazing out with wiStful longing
Der earth's pathways broad ard long,
Beacon lights above are burning,
Mists Of beauty round Us lie.
Angel hands in whiteness cleaning
Downward reaching from the sky.
Earth and Heaven alike seem pouring
Tides of sweetness pure and true,
Down into life's chalice lifted
For the mornings silver dew;
While with hands unskilled in life-wOrk.
Feet unframed in its strange ways,
Hearts undisciplined hy sorrow.
Enter we the wildering maze.
DAYS pass by, and years deal gently
With young hopes so deeply shrined,
Now and then watch light fading
On the shore left far behind
Or u mist Of dreams which hOvcred
Round some Objeet-Our Ideal
Slowly parting back, exhaling
Cold realities, reveal.
Gentle warnings first are given
Angel whispers as IL were,
Chanting through our spirit chambers
Youthful dreams have n care
Care the word is all too weary
For the wildly pulsing tide.
OF the young heart fill'd with sweetness
Hopes white blossoms scatter wide.
So We reckless. free, uncaring,
Di1intO life's flowing stream
For its pearls, and treasures golden
Where the sunrayS softest g!cam;
Bat beyond the howery summit
or our youth imp3SsiOned dream,
Weary paths of duty lengthen
Stretching towards the far unseen.
Care with busy fingers stitch
All along the way-side there.
Weaving GaTlands dark and heavy
For the forehead smooth and fair,
But cen though we Oft-timcs weary
And the care crowns chafe our brow
Heaven above Us bends as lOwly.
Smiles as sWeetly then as now
Its rewards shall seem the richer
If beneath the cross we bow.
All then when our footsteps falter
Lift we up our carth-yciled eyes
Where life's morning sun seems setting
Stars of hope and promise rise,
Purest dreams shall find fruit.On
In the mansions Of the skies,
At the Heavenly City's portal
Sorrow dies and joys immortal.

An Insight into Second Sight
Easy If You Know How it Is Done.

Just now, in the succession of magical
entertainments afforded our citizens the
following explanation of the marvels OF
second sight" may interest our readers.
We find in the Missouri Democrat, an eX-
pose of Heller, according towhich author
ity the system of second sight Is system
of preconcerted questions and answers
The same question differently arranged
requires different answers; thus:
(D Ques.-Is it plain or ornamented ?
Ans.-0rnamented.
(2) Q-Is it ornamented or plain? Ans.
Plain
There are questions relating to color.
precious stones, metal, wearing apparel,
iewelry, etc. As for instance:
Q.-What color is it? A.-Black.
Q.-What is the color? A.-Blue.
Q.-Tell me the color? A.-Green.
Q.-Has it color? A.-White.
O.-Any color? A.-Orange or Yellow.
Name the color? A.-Brown.
The following for metals:
O.-What metal? A.-Gold.
O.-What is the metal? A.-Silver.
Q.-Tell me the metal? A.-Copper.
Q.-Name the metal? A.-Iron or steel.
Q.-What metal is it? A.-Brass.
And so on almost indefinitely.
By thus having questions and answers
classified and arranged, an article of any
kind can be very accurately described,
requiring, generally, however, a combina-
ton of the questions of different classes.
Thus:
Q.-Is this for any purpose? A.-Of
course a reticule.
O.-What color is it? A.-Black.
Takes an article out of the reticule
and asks
Q.-what have here? A.-A purse.
Q.-Tell me the color? A.-Green.
Takes money out.
Q.-What have l now? A.-Money.
Q-I cannot hear you. A.-Bank notes.
Q.-0f what value is it? A.-Sl0.
Q.-Is this the same? A.-No-a dime.
Another article.
Q-Tell me now? A.-Keys.
(Another.)
Answer Immediately? A.-A hand
kerchief
Q-Has it color? A.-White.
Thus the reticule and its contents are
described.
Describe piece of jewelry.
Q.-Doyou admire this? A.-Yesa brooch.
Q.-Do you know this stone? AYE
cornelian.
Q.-Has il color? A.-White.
Mr.. Heller endeavors by various expe-
dients, to conceal from his audience the
fact that all Freddy's answers are depend
ant upon the questions asked. He some
times asks no questions at all.
The audience will observe that he does
not dispense with the question till Fred's
back is turned, and he (Frcd) within
few feet of the curtain. They will also
observe that the articles Mr.. Heller holds
up, are not the small ones, concerning
which he had asked questions. This time
they are hTgs-a hat, muff, shawl, a
set of fIrs, or something which can easily
be seen by person behind the curtain,
who is so near to Fred as almost TO be
able to whisper in his ear. OF course
Pred don't fail TO give the right name to
the article.
