A correspondent Of the Hartford Cour,

to Mrs. Mcclellan. found her to be an
intelligent young woman, having with her
sweet infant, which was almost smoth-
cred by the csresses of q number OF. sold
iers who had learned that she was young
Mcclellan. On my way to this city (in
the cars) through the politeness Of her
aunt, Mrs. A., l enjoyed the pleasure Of
some conversation with her. She seemed
much elated With the recent news. She
said that When her husband was appointed
Major General she was not much effected
by it, but now, that he had been restored
to bis command, and had accomplished
such . triumph, after oil that had been
done to degrade him, she acknowledged
she felt proud. Irepiied she had perfect
right to feel 80. She said that her hus.
band had undertaken this last service with
great reluctance, but it had been pressed
upon him with an assurance that he
should not be interfered with. l re.
marked to her that at first felt great
confidence in her husband, which after.
wards had to certain extent lost, but
that l had, previous to bis last successes,
regained it. She said the same observa-
ton had been made by others. told her
l thought the General had not done jus,
tice to himself, in not explaining to the pub
lie circumstances which looked unfavora
bic to him. "Do you not think" said
she, that it was more patriotic in him,
to bear his wrongs in silence, rather than
to trouble the government ss some others
have done, with demands for Investigations
and ceurt.martials, when the delays caused
by them would be Injurious to the coun-
try? The General she remarked, "wbeu

Impressions Caused by sadden Death


To be shot dead is one of the easiest
modes of terminating life; and yet, rapid
as it is, the body has leisure to feel and
reflect. On the first attempt to assassin,
ate William Prince Of Orange the ball
passed through the bones of the face, and
brought him to the ground. In the instant
that preceded stupefaction, he was able to
frame the notion that the ceiling Of the
room had fallen and crushed him. The
cannon shot which plunged into the brain

him from seizing his sword by the hilt-
From what is known of the first effect of
a gun.shot wound, it is probable that the
impression is rather stunning than acute.
Unless death be immediate, the pain is as
varied as the nature of the injuries, and
these are past counting up. A foot sol

who CHANGED to possess a cauteen Of beer.
