own acts, In his management of the War De
partment he has been heady and impetuous, in
pace oil ue'n6 discreet onl active, and, in the po-

Marvellous Escape From Death In
Battle.

The Lon,ion Examiner. correcting a
MEASUREMENT in regarl to Major General
Ponsonby. relates the following story of
another. Ponsonby. who was at Water

"Col. Ponsouby. Of the Twelfth ORA

a Polish Lancer. observing some lie IN
him. said. using filthy expression. -,

his lance into the disabled mans body
more than once. Some French ritiemen
took possession Of the ground where Pom
sonby lay. and made heap of the bodies

placed on top of me pile. and the riaeman

up the days your own, we are in full re-
treat. farewell must be off, We are
sfraid to saw how many wounds Ponsonby

REVIVAL was attributed to his remaining on
the ground exposed TO cold. for cold it
was. though it was Midsummer for near

HA good old lady who lived in one
of the rural districts of Maine. and who
had never seen much Of town life, was pre-
vailed upon or one occasion TO pay visit
to relative who lived in distant inland
town Of some importance. When Sun.
day came round the old lady accompanied
her friends to church, where her simple no.
tons were shocked at the wonderful dis
play of what she called worldliness and
pride. The minister himself did not es-
cape her criticism In the midst Of the
sermon, and while the old lady was cogi-
tating upon things around her. mischiev-

in front of one Of the deacons. looked that
functionary full in the face. and exclaimed.
in a clear. audible voice that sent thrill
Of horror to the heart of the old lady.
Curse you! curse you!' And before the
deacon could capture the fugitive it flew to
another place. and pronounced its male
dicton upon another prominent member
of the church. The minister stopped. and
the congregation became disturbed. Eve
~ body was anxious to see the intruder
captured and expelled from the place. anil
many were the Ruthless grabs made for the
crows legs; but he elnded them all. and
round and round he went. uttering his inn
precautions. At last he came across our
old lady. and she too shared the crows
ominous imprecations. The old lady rose
up from her seat preparatory to its evacua-
ton. and confronting her black adversary
with flashing eyes and uplifted finger. ex-
claimed. IN sharp. shrill voice that star
tied the audience, oh. ye needn't curse me.
for don't belong to this congregation
and left the place in deep disgust.

TT If the Northern Democrats had
Withdrawn Douglas and repudiated popu-
lar sovereignty. and accepted and support
ell Breckenridge and slavery extention. the
Democratic party would not have been
divided. aud the South would not have Sc
ceeded from the Union. Southern Dem
ocrats were willing to remain in the Union
so long as they were allowed to rule it,
1t Is not the republicans that are to blame
for the war. But the Democrats themselves.
The Douglas Democrats refused to submit
TO the dictation oftheir Southern brethren

Our military authorities cannot be too vigi

that great Tigidity in this respect will work
hardship and Inconvenience to many true and

difficult to tell who are and who are not trust.

Some informer has evidently reached Mem

following, which we Ind in the Bulletin OF

of Holly Springs.
Gen. Breckinridge's division had gone to
Vicksburg. A large number of Mississippi
troops had been sent to Richmond.
It was mmored at Grenada. the day before
our informant left, that Gen. Price was some
where on the Mississippi Central railroad, be-
tween Grenada and Grand Junction, and that
be would retake Memphis on Saturday, (the day
before yesterday
Gen. JEFF. Thompson was at Senstobs. about
40 miles from Mempbls-trom which point our
informant had to walk. He (Thompson) is
busily engaged, with his whole force, trying to
prevent persons from coming toward Memphis.
Nearly all the government stores had been
moved eff from Grenada, and that which re-
manned was upon the railroad platform, ready to
be sent off at a momept's warning. There were
from 2000 to 5000 Confederate troops at Gren-

given of his visit to the scene of operations are
the following. According TO Mr.. Hawthorne,
civilians will, hereafter, stand little chance of
serving their country in a civil capacity:
ONE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF II WAR.
One terrible idea occurs in reference to this
matter. Even supposing the war should end to-
morrow, and the army melt in the vast population
within the year, what an incalculable preponder-
snce will there be of military titles and preten-
sions at least for half a century to come Every
country neighborhood will have its general or
two, its three or four colonies, half a dozen ma
jors and captains without end, besides non-com-
missioned officers and privates more than the
recruiting officers ever knew of-alI with their
campaign stories, which will become the staple
of tireside talk for eYermore. Military. merit, OF
rather, since that is not so readily estimated,
military nOtOriety, will be the measure of all
claims TO civil distinction. One bullet-hesded
general will succeed another in the Presidential
chair, and veterans will hold the offices ct home
and abroad, and sit in Congress and the State
legis ~latuTes, and I'LL all the avenues of public
life. And yet l do not speak deprecatingly of
this, since, very likely, it may substitute some
thing more real and genuine instead of the many
shams of which men have heretofore founded
claims to public regard but it behooves
to consider their wretched prospects in
the future, and assume the military button before
it is too late.
