A Genuine g Lady,,

The following incident was observed on the
cars bya gentleman while on his way east to
Pittsburg, Pa Our lady readers will not need
to have the moral appended. On one seat was
a pale soldier, wan and weak, returning, as it
proved, from services in Arkansas, to be nurs-
ed by his mother, near Pittsburgh, whose only
son he was. At Wellsvile most of the passen-
gers got out for refreshments. Some passen-
gers carried food along and ate it in the cars
but none offered anything to the soldier, who,
either too weak TO walk, or not having money
to spare, sat still. silent and alone. As the train
came in, and opening a basket, began to eat
bountiiul lunch. From their conversation they
appeared to be from New England. They were
richly dressed, and judging them to be aristo-
cratic, the writer was not favorably impressed
with them. After little while one of them,
casting her eye forward, saw the soldier. She
stopped eating, aud whispering moment TO
her companion, who nodded assent, she went
forward and conversed pleasantly with the sol
dier, and returned for her basket, from which
she supplied him liberaly with the best it con-
tanned. After eating all he desired, she wrap
ped in paper aud gave him enough to last
him home. After eating the remains in the
basket herself. she sat down by his side and
talked pleasantly with him most of the way to
Pittsburgh. The writer conceived there were
few dry eyes among those who saw what had
passed. Was not that woman one of the true
aristocracy? Whether the needed food, or the
kind manner and conversation of the lady was
most refreshing to the long time homeless pat
riot, or whether both were not equally so, we
leave the reader to decide.

Camp "Tom Casey" Arlington Heights,
Nov. 2S. 1862.
Editors Press:-Yesterday was a happy day
to the 25th Me. Some five four-horse loads of
pastry, fruit and poultry, gladened the hearts,
and burdened the stomachs of the fortunate
recipients of these welcome donations from
distant friends. Whether any bottles. were
found in the capacious boxes i cannot say, not
being one of the fortunate ones, but judging
from the happy shouts, and merry songs, which
enlivened the camp ground last evening, some
of the pies must have been highly seasoned
with aqua rita to say the least.
Within the past two weeks the sanitary con-
diton of the Regt. has sadly changed, Some
forty are to-day in the hospitals, many of
whom are seriously ill; three, Capt. Amos
Libby, Co. B, and Private Amos Kimball Co,
F, and Anson Higgins Co, X, have died with
in the last week. 1t may be consoling to those
who have friends here sick to know that they
are not neglected; everything in the way of
kind care and medical skill is done for them
here that could be done anywhere. Our sur
geons and Hospital steward (Mr. Chas. Pack
ardl are true men and look faithfully after
those committed to their care.
Our log houses are nearly done so that in
a day or two more we shall go into comfort
able winter quarters, after which believe we
shall have but few new cases of sickness.
We have all kinds of camp rumors, one of
which is that we are going into the city of
Washington to do Provost guard duty this
winter.
Lieut.. Carswell who was obliged to resign
on account of nephritic complaints with which
he has long been troubled, win soon be able to
return home.

nB- The Paris correspondent of the New
York Herald, represents Lord Palmerston a.

saying:
There is nothing that would be more agree
able to the continent of Europe, than that by
some policy of ours we should bring the COM
bined power Of North and South down upon
us. A false step on the part of the govern
ment might cause this any day, as matters
have gone in this civil strife, and therefore the
utmost care must be taken to walk wariy.
Better thousand times that the whole dis
tress of Lancashire should devolve upon the
consolidated fund than that war to the knife
should be risked with the whole continent OF
America. North and South, at the bottom of
their hearts, hate us intensely; and, as in
France, nothing would more surely unite all
parties than war with England, so in Ameri-
ca a declaration of war against the old coun-
try would rally hundreds of thousands to the
Union who now do their utmost to shatter it
in pipces.
