The SECESSION LADIES OF LOUISVILLE
The Louisville correspondent OF the
Cleveland Herald writes
The Secesh ladies e of this city need
little attention. Ii you wish exercise
for your aoaspish proclivities, come to
Louisville and observe some of their ex-
ceedingly pretty, painted faces as they
twist them up in a scornful shape, and
curl their upper lip, and expand the nos
trils Of those beautiful noses, for the gaze
Of Union soldiers. Then, passing a knot
Of Union soldiers on the street, sec them
so artistically, aristocratically and sccrn-
flllv lift the skirts of their dresses and sup
press their circumference, for fear they
Will be contaminated by brushing Fed

corner, see them cross the muddy street
to avoid passing under the Union flag,
much to the satisfaction Of curious SOL
diers, who laugh ana ridicuie the exhibi-
ton of such attractive pairs OF Misses Sc

or female, and when lady so far forgets
her station and womanhood as to fire up
on our troops from her concealment, or
make wry faces al Union soldiers, or point
with scorn and derision to the flag Of our
country, pprposely to rouse the ire Of its
defenders, we can but believe that the gods
have answered Lady Macbeth'B' invoca-

.1ovE-Irs puR1rY ANp POWER.

How bright and beautiful is love in its hour
OF Innocence and purity--how mysteriopsly
does etherealize every feeling, and concentrate
every wild and bewiIdered impulse of the
heart. Love, holy and mysterious Iove--it is
the garland spring Of life the dream of the
heart--the poetry of nature. Its song is heard
in the rude hut-of the poor as well as in the
gorgeous palace of the rich--its flames en-
belish the solitudes OF the forest and the throng-
ed haunts of busy life, and its light impart9 a
briIIiancy to every heart, no matter what may
be its condition.
Love-pure. holy and devoted love-can
never change. Friends may forsake us-the
riches of this world may soar away, but the
heart that loves will cling closer, as louder
roars the storm; amid the wreck of the tenn
pest it will serve as a beacon to light on to hope
and happiness.
Love is the mystic and unseen spell tha
soothes the rugged tendencies of human ma
ture-that fingers about the sanctity OF the
fireside, and uuites in closer mi on the affec
-tions Of society, and that soul that loves truly
will love forever. Not like the waves Of tht
ocean, nor traced in the sand, is the image i'm
pressed uponA loving heart. No, no-but i
will burn on, undefaced its lustre amid th
Quick rush of winds, and the warning Of tn
tempest cloud and when our fate seems darl
and drearv then will love seek shelter in he
own hallowed temple and offer up as sacrifc
her VOWS ana her affections.

EeaeGt Of Eeriy Rising.

Paris has been considerably amused at
a little oecurance, which is another ovi-
dence Of virtue being rewarded as well as
a further proof of the proverb about
& early birds - and 'sworms. - An &c
centric gentleman, who spent-a great deal
of money during his life in entertaining
his friends, died recently in the Faubourg
St. German. Wishing to put the friend
ship of those who had eaten Of his meat
and drank of his cup" to the test, he de-
sired in his viii that, in case his death
should occur between October and March,
his funeral should take place at eight in
the morning, and at six, should he die
during the other months Of the year
Letters of invitation to the funeral were
to be sent to all his friends and those
who attended were to receive each one for
the males five thousand francs. and for the
females eight thousand francs. The re
suit was that more than four hundred let
ters inviting attendance at the funeral
at six o'clock in the morning were sent
out, and Of these. how many do you sup
pose had the effect to rouse from their
beds those willing sharers in the former
bounties of him whom they were reques-
ted to follow to his final home? Twenty
nine faithful ones only answered the roll
call, and these were exceedingly surprised
few days afterward, to be informed that
five thousand francs each were awaiting
their disposal at their dead friends no
tary.' Among the fortunate faithful ones
were Count Henri d ARGOS, consul-general
of Spain Edouard Houssaye. director of
the (IqzeHo oeS Be0Hr Ag1S and the IL
brarian OF the Empress. The recipients
Immediately decided to appropriate each a
thousand francs of the legacy toward tho
erection of monument over the grave Of

We notice some developments Of in
terest upon this little understood subject.
There is q general impression that in
bloody engagement the number Of deaths
by bavonet wounds must be large if the
forces are composed OF brave men but it
Is not so. In preparing for the charge
the attacking force is Hanged in line, as
nearly as may be- square in front of the
opposing lines. But it cannot keep up
this formation IN passing over the space
intervening between it and the enemy,
for one end of the hne may advance fast
CT than the other, which brings the first
shock of conflict upon half a dozen or so
of the troops at the end, who are led eff
/ by sergeants stationed in those positions.
It IS the expression Of one of our most
experienced generals, therefore, that q the
best sergeant decides the fate of the
/ charge, " because only the sergeant and
I one er two other men at the end Of the
/ line which first comes in contact with the
encmy's line are really engaged during a
i few decisive moments, and thus the con
/ duct, individual bravery, and strength OF
/ perhaps half dozen men, who alone
/ cross bayonets with the enemy, gain the
victory Tor the side to which they belong.
! The mere appearance of an impetuous aud
determined bayonet charge IS generally
counted upon as decisive by commanders.

! Well contested as was the engagement
at Pittsburg Landing, there was but one
bayonct wound discovered by our sur
geons, and that was not inflicted in the
battle. Jomim says that in all Of his

Field Beans with Corn.

One Of the crops used to fill out
corn, when it grows scantily, or has
failed in hills or spots, is the white
bush bean. There is wisdom in the
selection. The ieguninous and &C. :
cal crops arc considered so essentially
dissimilar in their drafts upon the
soil. that they are adapted to follow
each other i'll any rotation. SO far
as We arc aware. experience has not
yet discovered chat corn suffers essen
tiallv.if at all, for having a large crop
of beans grown at the same time upon
| thc soil. Il heavier draft is. Of
course, made upon tie soil if large
crop is taken oil. 1t is a common
practice in some good farming com
munities to drop few beans on the
south side Of every corn hill having
! less than three stalks. Another meth
cd ; the following: The corn being
in hills equally distant in rows run
ming both ways, at the second hOCing,
after blowing or running the Wccdcr
both ways, plant beans between the
hills III the rows running one way
Others plant similarly at the same
time the corn is planted
Beans cultivated by themselves arc
a very profitable crop, not eXhausting
to the soil, and an admirable food for
sheep. They uniformly bring a rcmun-
crativc price, and are sometimes very
/ high and in great demand. They do
best on good corn land, not richly ma
nurcd, IN rows q fcetapart keep weed

Eoma Wines.

Strawberry, currant, goo5eberry
and raspberry wines and cordlals
are made after different recipes,
scarcely any two people following the
same. They vary from quart pure
Juice to 3 quarts wafer; from l
pound OF sugar to the gallon, to 3 or
even 4 pounds, and of course the
wines vary from very mild winc-Iike
beverages to sweet, strong cordials.
A very satisfactory currant wine is
made by using half water, half pure
juice, with 2 pounds Of white sugar
to the gallon. After the juice is ex-
pressed from fully ripe well mashed
fruit let it come 10 the air as little as
possible, add the water and sugar to-
gcther, and put it in a perfectly
cIcanscd barrel or other large close
yc>sel, the larger the better, in q cool
cellar, filling within an inch or two

Dastardly Robbery.

A gentleman Of uudoubted veracity,
Informed US yesterday, Of piece Of con-
temptible rascality perpetraied by Dick
Mc0KEN's gang Of highwaymen, which
certainly surpasses anything that we
have yet heard Of in low-bred viilainy.
A letter containing thirty dollars gas sent
about two weeks ago, by poor man,
named SPrvEY, who is employed at small
wages at the Penitentiary, to bis wife in
Franklin, Tenn, who is in bad health.
The letter was intercepted by McCAES's
thieves and robbed Of lis contents. The
Southern cbivaIry, ""champions ofSouth-
ern Rights" Defenders Of women" &C.,
then forwarded it to its destination
with t,oaaty dollars ef Confederate nancy.
OF course the scoundrels intended this as
an insult to poor and unprotected wo-
man. We never have heard Of viler,
or more dastardly outrage. Such is re-
bel chivalry.
