Itseems the gallant Commodore Of our
young Western Navy is at home in the pull
pit as we'll as on the quarterback. A Cairo
correspondent of tho St. Louis Democrat
writes
To-day (Sunday, 9tb,) Commodore Foote
attended the Presbyterian Church. A large
congregation was in attendance, but the
preacher did not make bis appearance. A
general impa,ienoo beginning to manifest
ITSELF the Commodore sought the elder Of
the Church, and urged him TO perform the
services. The elder refusing, the Commo-
dore on the impulse Of the moment, took
the pulpit, read chapter in tho Bible, pray
ed, and delivered short discourse from the
text, "Let not your hearts be troubled. Ye
believe in God, believe also in me-" The
congregation was delighted On coming
down from the pulpit, the minister who had
arrived just afler the prayer, approached and
rendered bis thanks, but the Commodore
rebuked him for bis tardiness of duty, and
reproached him for his neglect to take the
pulpit Immediately on his arrival. This To-
cident is illustrative Of tho Commodore's en-
ergetic, earnest character and sincere piety
INc1pETs OF THE FORT HENRY FIGHT.
Numerous instances came to hand illus
trating the spirit in which She fight was
made. The Commodore's state Of mind, as
related by himself, is interesting. He says
that on the night before the battle he ''slept
as sweetly and prayed as fervently as ever
before in his life"
In the interview with General Tilghman,
Commodore Foote asked him how it was
possible hc could fight against the old flag
To which the rebel replied:
at was hard, sir; but l must go with ny
people"
While the rebel prisoners were on boarc
the Uncle Sam, Tilgbman was approached
by newspaper correspondentwilb areques
to know how TO spell his name. Tho reply
accompanied by a supreme hauteur of man.
ner was:
"Sir, do not desire that my name should
be made use Of at all in connection with thi'
affair, except as it may appear in the reports
of Gen Grant"
~ only desire, sir" said the correspond
ent, "to have it spelled correctly in the lis
of prisoners which am making out"
"You will oblige me" returned the Gen
eral, "by not making any mention at all il
your correspondence"
The correspondent withdrew in higl
state of mazement The reader may pos
sibly smile at the ''airs" which these aristo
cratic rebels at all times and under all cir
cumstances will so tcnaciously cling to au,
put on.
When the prisoners reached Paducah o
Friday, they were distributed through tn
city, some Of the officers being allowed the
liberty on parole. AS party of them pa

Rnc iel or,s winter Dream.

I sit in my chamber by blazing fire
And doze away my life,
And the laughing flames leap high and higher
AS drenm Of my little wife;
On my shoulder ! feel 0 pressure sweet,
And arms like the snow--oh, whiterl-
About my neck Is a warm clasp meet
And the flames flash brighter and brighter
And riuglets of gold pour over my face,
As my head to her bosoins pillow;
Sinks down in cloud of perfumed lace,
That heaves like foam on the billow;
And hear her warm hearts quickening beat
And her eyes glow bright as fire,
As my lips are covered with kisses sweet,
And the flames leap higher and higher.
A soft cheek nestles close to my own,
And the sweet smiles DER il chase;
Like sundrops on a calm lake thrown
Her dimples the smiles efface-
A flute like laugh, and her swelling breast,
Heaves joyous-high and higher;
How happy my lot and how sweet my rest,
With wife in front of the fire
And drink her beauty into my heart
And the love light Of her eyes,
With crash the red brands fall apart
My wife up the chimney flies.
Thus oft in my chair by the blazing fire,
doEe away my life,
And the mocking flames laugh high and higher
At my dream of love and wife.

Jessie Fremont,

A correspondent Of the Iowa State Reg
lister thus speaks of Jessie Fremont:
/ sat to-day an hour talking with General
and Mrs. Fremont; soon after with those
who bitterly oppose them. My heart sick
ems. Where will all this end! Do you
want to know how Jessie looks and seems
in the midst Of her trialsl Whatever may
bc thought of him, (Fremont) let every one
honor the wife who so nobly shares her hus-
bands anxietes, and is at his side strong in
love, in will, in energy, TO help him to the
utmost Of her power. The spirit Of old
Colonel Benton looks out of Jessie's' eyes.
The bright flush of her cheek, the sweet
play of her lips, when seconded by the clear
IDEAS Of her powerful mind, render her cap
tivating to remarkable degree. She has
scarcely slept or rested since she came to
Washington. To see her husband vindica-
ted is the restless burning of her soul, and
she is mistress Of every statistic, every item
that can weigh for or against him, and it is
easy to sec by tho dilated noslril and flash
ing eye, how wholly she believes in Ere
mont's integrity, and resents his accuser's
charges. All, well can remember when
she stole from her fathers house to become
the bride Of the man whom she has SO no
bly, followed for better or for worse. She
was so handsome and gay, and now she sp
pears like some Roman Matron full of dig
nifty and high resolve. / have always fell

Douglas, opposite in character though they
be, represent US as American women, fol

The Conduct Of the war.

Rumor grows into belief that Secretary
of War Stanton will speedily resume in fact,
as he has commenced to do in form, the
conduct of the war which usage and de-
partmenlal law give him tho right to do.
The public was not unobservaut Of tho diff
ference between two recent orders of con-
graduation to the army, the first issued by
authority of Gen. Mcclellan, and the second
BY authority of the President. Tho Office
of General-in-Chiof complimentary to
Winfield Scott, did not survive the hero's
retirement. The President is Commander
in-Chief THE Army, and be, with his able
and prodigiously magnetic War Secretary,
will now lift this war out Of mud and delay,
and carry il to victory. Gen. Mcclellan
will be placed in command Of the Depart
ment ofthe Potomac. os1oJ
