The Differences.

AN old army officer yesterday gave US the
reason why the regulars endure more fatigue
than volunteers. When marching, if the
regular even cuts his finger he falls into the
rear and applies baHdage. The moment he
halts for the night, after he eats bis ratioRs,
his cheek is upon his knapsaek and himselfin
the land of dreams. The volunteer does very
differently. If he hurts himself he sxtempO-
rises some inadequate sort Of dressing, and
keeps along. When night GENES, the chanc-
es are ten to one, that instead Of taking re-
pose at once, he wesriss himself still further
BY leap frog with his companions, or by play
ing "old sledge" for pints Of whiskey. The
regular carries with him nothing that he can
help. Not an ounce more win he bear than
regulation weight The volunteer is too apt
to leave nothing behind him that he can car-
ry. Every daguerreOtype even adds to the
weight Of knapsaok in q manner that nons
but those who carry them can adequately m
derstand. In Mexico soldiers threw away
money becsussitchafsd their pocksts.-Nsrfs

Who Saved POpe,s Army.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Commercial, who
signs himself Fair Play" gives credit to
whom credit is due for the protection Of
Pope's retreat from Bull Run to Washington,
after his i'll success there. 1t will be seen
that Stephen J. McGroarty, who made the
most eloquent war speech of the year, in Ur-
bana, bore very conspicuous and gallant
part. Bully for McGrOarty and the 6lst
Ohiol-
might had now deepenei, the cold quar-
ter-moon above US; it was nearly nine o'clock
the disaster was inevitable, and the order
was given to fall back as rapidly as good Or
der would permit But the retreat was to be
protected. For this dangerous duty-the
perilous post of honor-Dlger's battery and
the gallant 6Ist Ohie Colonel McGroarty
commanding, were selected, and nobly did
they perform their part. The General and
his stat, Geoeral Schurz. Colonel Schemel-
pfenning, and host Of sthers, cheering and
snimating by voice and example, remained to
the last with these devoted commands, as they
held at bay the foe, become almost fendish
by thir awful losses and the iron resistance
opposed to them. One by one the regiments
along the lines were ordered to the rear, de-
fling thence to Centreyille. Still, on came
the enemy, crowding his masses over his dead
and dying, and, apparently, reckless Of every
consequence. Suddenly there was a psnse,
then deatening roar. The gallant Dilger,
obeying instructions, had awaited the foe till
within sixty PAGES, when he let fly with all
his pieces, loaded with grape and cagister to
the muzzle full in the face The effect was
stunning, McGroarty, in the never to be for
gotten red shirt, bareheaded and begrimmed
with powder, sang out at the top of his voice,
"6lst Ohie, charge" and with rush and a
bound the gallant fellows were at them. Oh
it was terrible sight The curses, groans,
cries, and yells, were heart-rending. Dilger,
meanwhile, rapidly limbering up, had again
retired sixty pieces, and again did he open on
them with his murderous FIRE, and again above
the din of battle rang the stentorian voice of
the dauntless MoGrOarty, 6lst Ohio, charge
charge for glory and for sSigel'I' The ef-
feet was electric. The enemy broke-and
beaten by these repeated blows, halted and
wavered; the masses could no longer be push
ed forward, when on came Miroy, thunder
ing like demigod, and driving them head
long to the wood at the point OF the bayonet
One long, loud cheer went up from our side.
The fight was over, and our fellows, without
the loss of gun, or carriage, or a caisson,
slowly and steadily wended their way-aslOw
and weary way-along the Centreville road.
Not a word was spoken; the hour was too
sacred. But oh how many noble, brave fel-
lows did we leave behind. The sound Of an
occasional shot and bomb overhead warned
US that the enemy were still there; but they
had done their worst upon US, and they could
do no more.

TRLoIEa back the history Of Congressional
appointments in Ohio, the significant tact is
shown, that the first election after each de-
cennial appOrtionmsnt has resulted in defeat
Of the apportioning party. The party in pow
er when the sppOrtiOnmsnt is made under
each new census, always, more or less, gerry
manders. That IS, the party makes up the
Districts to secure success 70 its oWR friends,
and invariably, at the election, gets beaten at
its own game. It's all well enough to make
the District to suit the party If no violence ia
done to the provisions Of the law under
which it is made, and we are not blowing
up" any body for so doing, but merely men-
tioning the fact that defeat follows the carr
ing out of Districts.
The old Democratic party, after the worst
gerrymandering the State ever suffered, was
beaten out Of its boot" and the Demo-
cratic Constitutional Convention that Isgislat-
ed to forever secure power in the State to that
party were, very soun thrasbed bIind. -

deal over this matter lately since got in
Maryland. I've talked with a good many
Yankees or Union men, as they call them
selves here, and they generally talk pretty
sensible talk.

much as any one in the South, and say they
want to preserve the Union under Govern
ment and almost begin to think it would

few ofice-seekers. have found great deal
Of kindness among the people here, and find
they don't differ with US upon many points;
they only say preserve the Union and let the
d Niger go to h. They ask US what we
are fighting for, and when we tell them for our
rights, they say they have theirs all they sver
had and that it would be d. folly for them
to join US and in tact, Jim, to speak candid,
I can't fairly see myself what rights we have
lest to make such h of a fuss about. I
find things here quite different from what
expected; we were told that Maryland was
ripe for revolution, and as soon as we enter
ed her border forty or fifty thousand would
rush to our standard; but we found we had
been fooled the d-st for the people here all
appear to be very well satisfied with their
condition, and if I can judge from the appear
ance Of the country, and the prosperous con-
dition of the people, think. they have made
a d good hit by staying in the Union, and
it would have been a d sight better if we
all had been satisfied with our condition and
not made a set of d fools Of ourselves. I
am afraid we are in trap here, and the half
of us will never get out. 1 think it was d
bad thing in coming over, but we were forced
in manner, as we were nearly starved out,
and this is land of milk and honey-every-
thing in abundance. tell you, Jim, we live
high here to what we used to do in the Old
Dominion. We now get salt enough on our
meat which makes it eat d sight better
than we have been used TO- Dear Jim, burn
this letter, or it might fall into the hands Of
some of the officers and if ours was to hear
of it I'd catch h. Write soon. Ihear your
regiment is ordered to report to Gen. Smith,
in Kentucky; let me know ifitis so. Iwish
you were with US here, as we intend to go in
shortly and give the Yankees h.

GENERAL CHARLES T. JAMES who owes his
death to the explosion of shell invented by
himself, was a native of Rhode Island, in
which state he had long filed high positions.
For nearly two years he has from time to time
been experimenting with his newweapohsa at
Sag Harbor. About one hundred persons
were present on Wednesday to witness the
tests Ofthe projectiles. A number of highly
successful shots had been fred, when General
James determined to remove a cap from the
plunger Of shell and put on new one. But
long familiarity with and constant handling
of proiectles had made him rather earless, and
he used, thoughtlessly, pair OF pincers to re-
move the cap. The friction ignited the full
minating matter, and the explosion took place,
wouuding Gen. James in the side Of the head,
and more or less hurt several spectators who
were standing near by.
He represented the State of Rhode Island
in the Z. S. Senate from 1851 to 1857. He
was by profession an engineer, and had su-
perintended the construction of one Of the
largest manufacturing establishments in New
England. Though not prOfessedly an artiller-
ist. Gen. James had devoted his leisure for
over thirty years to the study of the science
of artillery. His projectiles were in frequent
use in our army, and had attracted the atten-
tien Of foreign artillerists. He was agout ff-
ty-six years Of age, and leaves wife and four
children to mourn for his loss.
