At one time we were 20 camped' in a little
place in Virginia, which, like all the towns
4 IN that part, was entirely deserted by all
the inhabitants, who could by h.rse, foot,
or crutch-power leave.
Now this was great disappointment to
us, for we were in hopes of finding some dam

| Our first Lieutenant was disconsolate as
he had hoped to find some beautiful secesh
nymph, with whom he might carry on a fir.

sex, and the sight of q petticoat in those for
lorn regions, was to him great piece Of
good fortune.
Well. one day as he was lolling in front Of
| his tent, dr.. aiming of the girl, or rather the
| girls he left behind him, he accidently cast
his eyes over a neighboiing meadow, where,
as luck would have it, appeared an unmista-
kable crinoline of full circumference-with
dress raised enough to show 8 clean petit
coat and white stockings. SEEKING field

some three hours, while all the time oGr

DoN'r PUT on NO EXTRAS "A wager was
made few days since on board of a steam
boat between a couple of jokers,- one of whom,
pointing t, an extremely ugly man, bet a
bottle of wine that an ugier customer could
not be produced. The other had seen one of
the fremen as he had come on board the
boat-a man whose face was screwed out of
all shape-at once took up the bet and start
ed down stairs for his man. The joker had
an impediment in his speech, but he never
theless soon made known his business to the
fireman, and obtained his consent to show
himself to decide the wager. When inside
the social hall, the ugly man. whose nose
was on one side and his face and his eyes on
the other, began to screw and work them
about to give his face greater degree of
ugliness.

DEATH OF FIELD MARSHAL NUGENr.-Field
Marshal Count Nugent, who entered the
Austrian service over half a century ago, is
reported dead. lie was born in Ireland in
lt71, and lived to the venerable ase'of S5.
lie was distinguished by his gaantry on every
field and rose by merit alone to be Field
Marshal, aid de-camp to the Emperor, and a
noble of the first class. He had important
commands in all the campaigns during the
wars of the first Napoleon and proved him.
self an able, faithful AND devoted friend of
the House of Hapsburg. He enjoyed the
intimate friendship and implicit confidence of
the several Emperors uuder whom he served
Of all the distinguished soldiers that Ireland
has furnished to the world, none was braver.
or better, or cherished during his youth, man
hood and old age, warmer affection for the
land of his birth than Field Marshal Nugent
We believe the deceased was of the En-
bassy that accompanied Maria Louisa from
Vienna to Paris on the occasion of her mar
riage to Napoleon. He he mas held high and
responsible positions in the Austrian Cabinet
and army; and at the time of his demise
was in command of the army at Vienna. A
dashing exploit that for moment relieved
the series of disasters that befel the Austrian
army during the last Italian war. was achiev-
ed by Nugent, when in face of the enemy he
took advantage of an Island in the Ticino
btidged the river and turned the position Of
the French.
Field Marshal Nugent in every position in
which he was placed. acquired himself the
highest distinction and reflected by his con.
dcct, the greatest honor on his race and the
land of his birth. Peace be to his ashes.-

As he uttered the last horrible threat, my
boy, was impressed with scene of some
thing darkly Democratic.
Too many of the Wide-awakes of the last
campaign are indeed fast asleep now, when
their country needs them. | saw one of
them slumbering near Culpepper Court
House last week He was sleeping with his

New JERSEY No. IA late number ofthe
Newark Daily Advertiser says:
Under the first call of the President for sew.
enty-fve thousand men to serve for three
months, it is true that New jersey was not
the first to send an isolated regiment into
the field, but was the first to send her iul
compliment, and the only one to send them
forward in one body, fully armed and equip
ed.
As was the case in response to the call for
the three months service, so also to that for
five hundred thousand men for three years.
New Jersey was the first OF all the States to
send to the field her full quota
Again Under the call of July I'd, for
500, 900, men for three years of the war,
New Jersey has furnished her entire allot-
ment, all her regiments under it being now
in the field and confronting the enemy in
active service. This is the case with no 9TH
er State and Jerseymen have the proud sat-
isfaetion of knowing that through the admir-
able though quiet management of our author
tiles. and the prompt loyalty of our people,
we have been the first and only State to place
our whole allotment under this call in front
of the now envading enemy.
And lastly, in answer to the Presidents or
der for draft OF 300, 900 men, New Jersey
is again the first to respond, and that with
out recourse to drafting-but by volunteer
ing. Promptly, on the I'd of this month, the
day designated by the Presidents order for
draft in all the States, messenger left Trer-
