A ATHRILLING ROMANCE.

A ATHRlLLlNG ROMANCE.
 The case of private Scott killed ih the fight near Lees Mills, on the l6th. is thus narrated by the correspondent of the Philadelphia h. quirer:
 Never until we stood by the grave of the Green Mountain boys did we realize how much stranger is truth than fiction. Your readers will all recOllect that last summer a private was court martialled for sleeping on his post out near Chain Bridge, on the Upper Potomac. He was convicted his sentence was death; the finding was approved of by the General. and the day fixed for his execution. He was . youth of more than ordinary intelligence he did not beg for pardon, but was willing to meet his fate. The time drew near; the stern necessity of war required that an example should be made of some one; his was an aggravated case. But the case reached the ears of the President; he resolved to save him; he signed pardon and sent it out the day came.-" Suppose" thought the President, my pardon has not reached him. D Telegraph was called into requisition; an an. swer did not come. promply. Bring up my carriage" he ordered. It came, and soon the impor ant state papers were dropped, and, through the hot brooiling sun and dusty roads, he rode to the camp, about ten miles and saw that the soldier was saved He has doubtless forgotten the incident, but the soldier did not When the Sd Vermont charged upon the rife pits, the enemy poured volley upon them. The first man who fell with six bullets in his body, was Wm. Scott of Company K. His comrades caught him up, and, as his life.blood ebbed away he raised to heaven, amid the din of war; the cries of the dying, and the shouts of the enemy prayer for the President and as he died, he remarked to his comrades that he had shown he was no coward and not afraid to die.
 He was inferred, in the presence of his regi. ment, in little grove about two miles to the rear of the rebel fort, in the center of group of holly and vines; few cherry.trees, in full bloom. are scattered around the edge In dig ging his grave skull and bones were found, and metal buttons, showing that the identical spot had been used in the revolutionary war for our fathers who fell in the same cause. The chap lain narrated the circumstances to the boys. who stood around with uncovered heads. He pray ed for the President, and paid the most glow ing tribute to his noble heart that we ever heard the tears started in their eyes as the clods ol earth were thrown upon him in his narrow grave where he lay shrouded in his coat and blanket. The men separated i; in a few minutes all were engaged in something around the camp at though nothing unusual had happened but that scene will live upon their memories while life lasts the calm look of Scott's face. th, seeming look of satisfaction he felt, still finger ed; and could the President have seen him. h,
 would have felt that his act of mercy had bee, wisely bestowed.

THE TITMoUsE.

In the Atlantie Monthly for May, Mir. Elmer on has, an exquisite little poem, The Tit louse," which many readefs will call the mate [ the delicious " Humble Bee" A passenger urdled with cold is ,ssluted with the sapcy Chie-a-dee-dee" of the same titmouse, bravely iped forth into the bitter air of winter:
 "Gay and polite, cheerful cry,
 Chic-chic-a-dee dee" saucy note, Out of sound heart and merry throat,
 As if it said, Good day, good Sir!
 Fine afternoon old passenger! Happy to meet you in these places. Where January brings few mems faees.' This poet, though he lives apart, Moved by . hospitable heart, ......-. Sped, when passed his sylvan fort,
 To do the honors of his court, .t<f As fits . feathered lord of land,
 Flew near, with soft wing grazed my hand, Topped on the bough, then, darting low, Prints his small impress on the snow,
 Shows feats of his gymnastic play,
 Head downward, clinging to the spray. Here was this storm in full breath
 Hurling defiance at vast death,
 This scrap of valor just for play
 Fronts the north-wind in waistcoat gray, \ As if to shame my weak behavior,
 l greeted loud my little savior:
 'Thou pet what dost here? and what for In these woods, thy small Labrador, At this pinch, was San Salvador
 What fire burns in that little chest, So frolif, stout and self-possest?
 Didst steal the glow that lights the West? Henceforrh wear no stripe but thine: Ashes and black all hues outshine. Why are not diamond black and gray, To ape thy daredevil array?
 And l affirm the spacious North Exists to draw thy Virtue forth. think no virtue goes with size: The reason of all cowardice
 Is, that men are overgrown,
 And, to be valiant, must come down To the titmouse dimension"

 A few days after this they came up to the jail with another cart.

 The reply was, "we don't permit any pray. ing here for O. damned Union-shrisker." Hssn met his fate like man.

He is therefore de- serving of your pity" As quick as thought, Haun sprang to his feet, and in Q much Stronger and steadicr tone than the lying villain beside him had made use of, said" My fellow-citizens, there is not one word of truth in what that man has told you. have made no such concession.

 ]. There are two men who can be depended upon under all circumstances and in every emer- aency-I mean Generel Mcclellan and General HalIeck. There is no doubt they must take things as they meet them, and they have great opposition to contend with; but Mcclellan ia at this moment at the work his heart loves, and winch will call forth all the abilities of his pow. erful mind-that of trenching, engineering and besieging.
