Disposition of Soldiers on the Eve of
Battle,


A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com.
merciaz says:
Civilians naturally enough suppose the
eve of great battle to be an occasion Of
sad suspense and anxiety on the part OF those
who expect to participate io the contest
They greatly err in this. The experience of
every one who has paid any attention to the
matter is, that there is never more noisy
levity and more apparent buoyancy OF spir-
its in camp than when opposing armies are
within hailing distance OF each other. Eu.
chre, cid sledge, and their concomitants al
ways succeed marching orders. Certain it
is, there never WIS more fun making noise
in the camps of Gems. Hurlbut and Sher-
man than on Saturday evening last, when
it was confidently expected that a great
battle would be fought inside of forty-eight
hours. In anticipation of the grand strug
gle, number OF sham battles were fought
between Beauregards and Hallecks, sudden
ly promoted from the ranks-always result.
ing, of course, in the triumph of the Feder-
ais and the complete overthrow of the Con-
federates. Yon cannot make soldier feel
'solemn" by assurances that the conflict
will be desperate one you cannot make
him exchange "Marryatt's best" for the last
issue of the Tract Society, by telling him
how many brave fellows met an untimely
end at Donelson or Shiloh; you cannot les.
sen his Joy at getting "good hand" by mar.
rating the probabilities that his regiment
will be exposed to CALLING fire during the
entire day.

How the Richest Man IN New York
Spends His Time.

A correspondent OF the Rochester Demo-
crat sketches the richest man in New York
in this manner:
MIR. Astor's Office is in Prince street near
Broadway, where he may be found daily
between the hours of nine and three" He
is large, stout built man, with coarse
features, stiff, rough, sandy coIored hair,
and cast OF countenance of very orGina,
ry type. He dresses plainly but neatly, has
a somewhat careworn look, appears to be
fifty or sixty years of age. His private
Office is of moderate size and of plain furni~
ture. On table are a few books, and on
opening that one which appears most
thumbed, you perceive that it is volume
OF maps OF city property, carefully and e!e.
gantly executed, and, as whole embracing
the sundries OF an enormous estate, estma-
ted at over $25,000,000. Mr.. Astor re-
sides in Lafayette Place, in one of row of
dwellings which twenty five years ago were
the graudest in the city, though now they
are distanced by the palaces of the Filth
avenue. Near by is the magnificent library
founded by his father, to which he has ad
ded fund nearly equal to the original CO.
dowment. Here be spends a small part
OF his time, the remainder being occupied
by his duties in the Prince street Office,
where, Sundays excepted, he does a full
days work every day in the week. Thus
the whole routine of lille OF the richest man
in America is a walk to and from home OF
half NILE and close attention to business.
The care of MIR. Astor's estate is q vast
burden. He has several hundred tenants
of all grades, from the $500 cottage to the
$4,000 store. To relieve himself OF this
vexatiOus duty, be has committed it for
years to en- agent, who does the work well.
He collects rents and makes quarterly re-
turns, and thus pays over a sum which
would be almost incredible, and which we
may roughly estimate at 100000 per an =
mum. This man employs small army OF
painters, carpenters and other mechanics, 10
order to keep up repairs, end superinten6s
the whole 0! this department. AS large
part OF MIR. Astor's property consists OF
vacant lots which are in continual demand,
and which he will not sell, he is much ems
plOyed with architects and master baiders,
and generally has one or two large blocks
in course of erection at time. This is a
very serious burden. His sen John Jacob
is quite business man, and bears his share
of the load. In addition to these labors,
the attention to the collection of interest 10
bond dividends, etc, is heavy item, since
in the little brick Office (Which is, of course,
fire pro0f,) there are several millions Of Gov
eminent and State securities. His daily
income is computed at $4,000. 1t is said
that certain person ielicitated Mr.. Astor
on bis wealth. Pointing to his piles of
bonds, maps, etc, the capitalists replied:
"How would you like to manage all these
matters for your board and clothes ?" The
man demurred to the idea. "Sir," said the
other, sit is all get" Mr.. Astor, it is
said, gives but little away.

Queer Scenes at Hilton Head-.Arming
the Negroes, sc.

A Hilton Head correspondent OF the
New York Herald, writing on the 18th,
says:
One of the sequences of the Hunter abo.
ition order is the arming of the freed men,
one OR two thousand of whom are to be-
come @ portion of the American army
that is, if it is possible to screw
their courage to the sticking point, and in
duce them, by the promise of good clothes,
good victuals, good wages and hot work,
to enlist. To this end Brigadier General
Stevens, commanding at Beau Ort, was Or
dered on Saturday to collect and forward to
Hilton Head all the able-bodied " boys +"
on Beaufort, St. Helena, Kane, Cat, and
the other islands in the vicinity. They have
been arriving in bands of from one to four
hundred for two days past, until some four
teen hundred are now quartered at this
point, and many more are to arrive.
The scene at the dock at Beau 6ort last
evening, as the Mattano, with about four
hundred negroes on board, steamed away,
was one Of the most ludicrous ever wit
messed. For tie purpose of ascertainiUg
the mind of " our colored brethren" with
regard to their future prospects, accom-
panied one of the officers in charge of them
on his rounds. 1t was motley crowd, aud
so sayory! There were the old and young,
the stiff and nimble, the crooked and
straight, huddled together in the most
odorous confusion. Nothing could ap~
proach the sublimity of their fragrance,
except, perhaps, roasted onicn. Many of
them had an idea that in some way
they were again to be enslaved, and ap.
peared to prefer such fate to being com.
PEELED to face the enemy with muskets in
their hands. A few of them shed tears at
being violently packed up and carried of :;
but touching the disposition to be made of
them, they appeared generally to maintain
stolid curiosity, which it is useless to ats
tempt to describe. I asked one of them
his age 4" Sebenty, guess, massa," be re-
piled and his looks didn't belle him. t" Use
affricted too" he continued &C Ise got pains
in my Inns, an I trabble all dis hy'ar blessed
day, massa, an / didn't eat muffin Wit.
Golly, massa, l neber bite dem cartridge I
amt done got de teeth, massa." Their
reasons for disliking to become soldiers
were amusing. One stout, healthy bow,
who dreaded military duty, declared he
nebber could bear de smell oh dat hy'ar
powder" From all appearances I judge
that but few of them have the courage to
volunteer in the Mozambique Artillery,
and that the movement to arm the negroes,
unless they are compelled to fight, will be a
failure. ,.i 5,e e..s
