The Army Nurse.

An "'army nurse is not a sinecure or pleas
ant Office. 1t may seem romantic enough to some
young adies whose dreams are of administering
cordials to wounded officers, but let them listen
to the description of the duties of nurse, as
depicted by an army surgeon at Pittsburg Land
ing:
The duties required Of an effective nurse are
not tie administering spoonful of wine, nor
bathing an officers temples with sponge. These
require no sacrifice of feeling. Not attending
upon Colonel or Major in state-room, but
combing matted hair, washing dirty faces, hands
and 4eet, binding putrid wounds, and numbers of
things which can not be described. The lady who
can not, with smiling face, roll up her sleeves,
60 on her knees among the black boilers and wet
straw to wait upon an unfortunate private sol
dier, repulsive in his manner and words, is here
sadly out of her proper sphere
1t is noble sight to witness one who bears the
impress of natures nobility in every expression,
highly educated lady accustomed to every in
diligence that wealth can furnish thus employed,
with disordered hair. hoopless, in solid calico
dress, bespattered with blood, coal-smut and
grease, forgetting every feeling but the one of
seeking and helping the most wretched and neg
lected God has blessed my eyes with the sight
of such one. The name of the noble minded
lady shall not soon be forgotten.

r5Y Parsons. a Chicago lawyer. was trying
case before a jury, being counsel for the pris-
oner. The Judge was very hard on him. and the
jury brought in verdict of guilty. Parsons
moved for new trial. The judge denied his
motion and remarked, "Ths court and jury think
the prisoner knave and fool" Instantly the
counsel replied, 1.-The prisoner wishes me to say
he is perfectly satisfed-he has been tried by a
court and jury of his peers"

The ..sa,anic" on the Anniversaries.

The ssSatanfc" ON the Anutversartes-
The N. Y, Herald alludes to the anniversaries
now holding in New York in the following ii
reverent and scurrilous style:
"The religious anniversaries, with which this
city has been blessed for the past few days. are
now nearly concluded. In pecuniary point of
view they have been very, and deservedly, unsuc-
cessful. There is no greater humbug on record
than these annual assemblages of vagabondizing
parsons and seedy phanthropists, who come here
to pray money out of the pockets of simple people
So far from accomplishing any good, the moneys
collected at these anniversary meetings support
only set of idle, worthless ranters, who are 200
lazy to earn their own livelihood, except in this
swindling manner Year after year these gath
erngs have been held, and vice and immortality
are Just about as rampant and prevalent as ever.
Ordinarily such dismal failure to accomplish
anything would be the ruin of any organization,
but when people dabble with religion they seem
TO lcse their common sense, and they have
gone on, giving largely and receiving no returns.
This year we are glad tc notice that the war has
cut off the supplies of the pious anniversary beg
gars, and we hope that they will suffer accord
ingy."

eB The negroes from the near counties of
Maryland steal their masters stock and wagons
to come into Baltimore, and parties in Maryland
have frequently stopped them TO search the wag-

when he said:
"No use looking In this wagon. masss; I hain't

The Kentucky correspondent OF the ClneIn-
natl Commercial gives the following information
as to the operations of the Federal forces in cen
trail Kentucky:
The work on Green river bridge is progressing
slowly. 1t may be completed this week, but viii
probably not. 1t could have been done sooner,
but hardness and ineficiency in other quarters
has rendered great haste here unnecessary.
The bridge, as many of our readers are aware,
is, or was, one of the finest in the country. 1t
is of iron, supported on four piers and two abut-
ments ofsOlid, massive masonry. Il is 1910 feet in
length, some of the spans being $50 feet in
length and others over 200 feet. The longest
pier, and the only one that stands in the river, is
f37 feet Nigh. The destruction consisted in blow
ing up and utterly destroying the south pier, and
with it the two southern spans Of the bridge
about 400 feet in all. An attempt was made 10
blow up the pier next 10 this one. Two stones
were removed from different places in the south
side of il, and holes dug to the center, where the
blast was placed. Stones on the opposite side
were broken, and cTeyiees o. ened between the
stones, leaving vents sufficient to render further
sttempts at blowing it up unavailing, while the
strength Of the pier is but slightly impaired.
The pier destroyed is about one hundred feet
high. It win be replaced, for the present, by
some fifteen or twenty hesti6s of heavy timber,
two lengths and well braced. The work looks
light, but good judges say it is sufficient.
Wagoa roads are being made, and pOntoon
bridges prepared to cross the river. We, OF
course, know nothing - 10 when we viii take
the next step toward Bowling Green bat we
do know that when Gen. McCOok goes, he goes
- for keeus."

Complaints of the Federal soldiers.

We clip the following from a letter written by
a soldier in the Federal force at Somerset, Ky:
This place being so far from either railroad OF
canal. is in all probability a sufficient excuse fol-
the scarcity OF subsistence at this time. Our
TatiOns are short sometimes we have MALT ra
tons, at other times we have plenty; but the
distance from the railroads is no excuse for us
not having our winter clothing ere this. Per
chance we might eensure the manufacturers, or
the Governor of Ohio-or any other man that
will not furnish us heavier clothing. can, how
ever, without considering it complimentary to
any proyider for the army, say that we have
been seriously neglected as to our clothing.
Winter has eome-the cold, singing frost Of
many nights have already marred the earth
since we have come to Kentucky to defend the
rights.of our noble country and were we on any
other mission, we would surely complain, for our
clothing is a thin blouse and unlined pants,
which is about the amount Of our entire cloth
ing, and they have become rather thin, in fact,
ragged, owing to the length of time they have
been in use. Such thin clothing gives but little
satisfaction to a soldier wh9 has to breast the
bleak winds, aud cold, dashing rains of Decem-
Der, True, our O~vercoats do cover the rags, and
protect US from the rain to a limited extent, but
we earnestly hope that thicker clothing will be
given US before the SHOWS Of January visit us

prunkenne.. IA lhe FedcrnI Army.

The Munsfordsviiie (Ky) correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial indites the following
not very complimentary paragraphs:
Christmas was spent very merrily by most of
the soldiers, and much more merrily than credit
ably by many OF the officers. All the officers
that could raise a horse were mounted-and, to
the best of my knowledge and belief, I did not
see q sober man on horseback, unless it was
very early in the day.
/ suppose the sin Of drunkenness is not so
common in our armies as in those of the rebels I;
but it is common enough among our officers to
disgust those under their command. Ihave seen
an Ohio colonel drill his battalion when he did
not know the right from the left flank, or the
front from the rear rank. l understand this col
onel was appointed over the head Of q lieutenant
colonel who is as well qualified to command a
regiment as any man in the service from your
State, and this in the face of a protest against his
appointment by every officer in the regiment.
The reason given was, that he was a West
Pointer, which is a played out humbug,' The
same regiment has another field officer who has
10 military capacity, and is not always sober
and still another, Of very small caliber, Who, l
am told, is not always drunk.

The Abingdon (Ya.) correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch notices the following in
stances of the patriotic sacrifices of the ladies Of
the South:
Let me now tell the story Of a Kentucky lady.
II was related 10 me by one in whom implicit
confidence can be placed. Some few weeks ago
the hirelings Of Lincoln went TO Cynthiana, KY,
in search Of arms " and secessiOnists. A
gentleman, whom / will call Smith, was a strong
southern man, and feeling that he would be
among the first to be arrested, FASTENED away at
dead Of night. He was a man of wealth and
influence, but such was the precipitancy with
which be left his house and his all that be could
carry nothing with him. He hurriedly escaped
in bis shirt sleeves 70 a widows house in the
neighbOrhoOd, with whom he was well acqUaint-
ed, and stated bis condition. The lady, who was
herself wealthy, instantly and intuitiyely con
ceived a plan to relieve him. And what does the
reader suppose that plan was She ordered a
horse 10 be saddled, took a servant behind her,
went TO Cynlhiana, six miles distant, procured
money for her TREAD, bought cloth, returned
home, had the cloth cut and made into garments
by the next morning, and started Smith off

what Thurlow Weed said to semne.,.

Some months SINCE, 1t was publicly announced
that ThUTlOw Weed shared the Inequalities of
the eecentrc-eyed sage Of Washington Nights,
a. his own residence, and much curiosity was
manifested as to what was the matter Weed
Gag like Bennett without a purpose, and our
Washington correspondent in q private note,
: gives ms the facts in the case, which are very
curious. After Ball Ran, it will be~Temembered
the government was compelled, by a sense of
selfpreservation to practically suspend the Jour
nal Of Commerce, Daily News, Day Book, and
other disloyal papers. The Herald all this time
was perfectly loyal but about the time Mr..
Chase was negotiating his first loan, it began to
show its secret venom TO the loyal eause by at
lacking the financial policy of the administra-
ton, and was preparing, true to its instincts of
mischief, for a terrific onslaught ON the goYhp-
ment.
Secretary Seward, however, was determined not
to submit to il, and he consequently sent Weed
to see Bennett and inform him of the feeling at
Washington. He was notified that if he opened
on the government, his paper would be seized
and he sent to Fort Lafayette. Bennett dom'd'
a good deal, but was silenced by q copy of a dis
patch dated at the Herald office, which Lad been
seized by the government early IL Che war, which
proved the Herald establishment to have been IN
the interest and pay of JEFF Davis. The old
| Scotch traitor was completely cured by ths ex-
hbit, and promised to support the government
earnestly, especially Mr.. Seward. This is the
first time this matter has been made public
| n. Y. Sunday Times.
