A mER1rEp PROMOTION.

The young man mentioned in the fol-
loving special dispatch to the Philade!-
phia Inquirer, has many friends in
Cleveland. The incident occurred at
Secretary Stauton's reception Of Con-
greSsmen:
Judge Kelley came in With youth
ful-loooking officer, whose empty coat
sleeve hung from his left shoulder. He
was introduced to the Secretary as Bre-
vet Lieutenant Harry Rockafellow, of
Philadelphia "My friend continued
the Jndge, ''left a situation worth $500
per year, three days after the Presi-
dents proclamation for troops, to carry
4 musket at eleven dollars month,
with his regiment, the New York
Seventy first. After the term of his
enlistment had expired, he marched
with his regiment to Bulls Run. Early
in the day, he received that ugly rife
ball in his mouth ipointing to MIME
ball that was hung to his watch -key,)
and for two hours and half he carried
it in his fractured jawbone, fighting like
true hero, until cannon ball took eff
his arm and rendered him powerleas."
He was captured, and for three
months laid in a mangled condition, in
tobacco warehouse in Richmond,
without proper surgical treatment. He
was breveted Lieutenant by his Col
onel for his bravery, and is now filing
a small clerkship. | beg Of you to ap
point him in the regular service. -
''But where could l put him if I was
to?' said Mr.. Stanton. The Judge was
about to reply, when the young soldier
raised his arm, and said with an i'm
ploring look: "See, hare right arns
stiH, and General Kearney has only his
left; send ME into the line, where there
is fighting to be done! I have letters

letters from his pocket. Mr.. Stanton
stopped him--''put up your letters, sir,

afford to neglect such men as yeul
Ere the soldier could thank him for the
kindness, his case was noted.
He returned to leave, and remarked
to the Judge as they left, 81 shall be

proudcst of my whole life!' His heart
seemed SO light that we doubt if he then
realized the loss he had met with, or re-
membered the weary nights, and the
long, long days he had suffered in the
vile prisons of the traitor crew. Con

1t was real pleasure to me to visit a
man who had commenced life with little
capital, save willing heart and
stout arms and who had converted a
rocky and swampy waste into smiling

children the best education the country
affords, exercised generous and genial
hospitality, and been careful to embel-
lish as we'll az utilize his estate; and
after doing all this, to accumulate a
Sufficient fortune without any specula-

late him heartily upon his successes in
life, and the truly happy position in
