The Sleeping Sentinel.

The following affecting incident is told
by tho Yorktown correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Inquirer:
Never, until we stood by the grave
of the Green Mountain boys, did we re-
alize how much stranger is truth than 6c-
tion. Your readers will all recolect last
summer a private was court-martialed for
sleeping on his post ont near Chain Bridge
on the Upper Potomac. He was convict
ed; his sentence was death; the finding
was approved ofaby the General aud tho
day fixed for his execution. He was
youth of more than ordinary intelligence;
he did not beg for pardon, but was will
ing to meet his fate. The time drew near;
the stern necessity Of war required that
an example should be made Of some one;
his was all aggravated case. But the
case reached the ears of the President;
he resolved 20 save him; he signed par
don and sent it out.
"The day came Suppose, thought
the President, my pardon has not reach
ed him. The telegraph was called into
requisition; an answer did not come
promptly. Bring up my carriage he
ordered. II came, and soon the impor-
tant State papers were dropped, and thro'
the hot broiling sun and dusty roads he
rode to camp, about ten miles, aud saw
that the soldier was saved He has
doubtless forgotten the incident, but tho
soldier did not.
"When the Third Vermont charged
upon the rifle pits, the enemy poured
volley upon them. The first man who
fell, with six bullets in his body, was VIM.
Scott, of Company X. His comrades
caught him up, and as his life-blood ebb-
ed away, be raised TO heaven, amid the
din of war, the cries of the dying, and
the shouts Of the enemy, prayer for the
President, and as he died he remarked to
his comrade that he had shown that ho
was no coward and not afraid to die.
"He was inferred, in the presence CT
his regiment, in little grove about two
miles TO the rear of he rebel fort, in the
center Of group Of holly and vines; a
few cherry trees, in full bloom arc scat
tered around the edge. In digging his
grave skull and bones were found, and
metal buttons, showing that the identical
spot had been used in the Revolutionary
war for our fathers who fell in the same
cause. The chaplain narrated the circum-
stances to the boys, who stood around
with uncovered heads. He prayed for
the President, and paid the most glowing
tribute to his noble heart that we ever
heard. The tears started in their eyes
as the clods of 9th were thrown upon
him in his narrow grave, where he lay
shrouded in coat and blanket"

HINTS FOR LADY FLoRIsTs.-One Of
the greatest mistakes made in flower-gar-
dens every year, is attempting TOO much,
and crowding the grounds. "My lady
visits several fine gardens, during tho
Summer, and sees brilliant novelties which
she thinks she mast have next year. Or
she gets several nursery catalogues, and
reading the high sounding descriptions of
plants, she orders more than her garden
can we'll hold, or than she can take care
Of The consequence is they fail to do
well, and she and her visitors are not sat
isfed with the effect.
A much better way is, TO sit down at
the beginning Of the Summer, and settle
in ones mind how much room there Will
be for pew things, and what are, on the
whole, the best. Get only these, and take
ihe best possible care of them Give
them the right soil, and keep it clean and
well stirred. Keep the tall plants neatly
tied to stakes. The edging TO the beds
should be always well trimmed, the walks
clean and hard, and the whole ground neat
and tidy. Such garden will always
give satisfaction. .-Agricutturist, June.

THE BEST TINE TO PRUNE.-An old
clergyman is quoted as defining this time
to bo "when your knife is sharp" He
was certainly half right, for smooth
clean cut is very essential to the healing
of the wound. But there is very great
difference in the healing of wounds on ac-
count of the season in which they are
made. Pruning done in March and April,
especially if large limbs are removed, Of
ten Injuries an orchard for life. The sap
oozes from all the pores and runs down up
on the bark discoloring and oftentimes
destroying it-called scalding. Without
other protection, decay begins, and in
few years you have hollow limb.
We like the month of June for prun-
ING. better than all others. If the work
is done soon after the new wood begins to
form, the wounds made by !hc removal Of
small limbs will be nearly covered over
the Same season they are made. Tho
leaves makes such n demand upon the
wood for sap that none of il escapes from
the wounded pores. 1t is also favora-
bic time for thumb pruning. BY watch
ing the growth of the shoots upon young
trees they may be brought into symmet-
rical shape without much use Of the knife.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY.-A sad affair,
growing out of the present war, occurred
at No. 332 avenue A, on Sunday evening.
Some months ago, 1t appears, French
man named Joan PHILIPPE joined the Ex-
celsior Brigade, and departed for Wash
ington, leaving behind him wife and an
interesting child about five years DID,
On Saturday, Madame PHILIPPE received
q letter from the seat of war, announcing
his death in a recent engagement. She
was deyoutlv attached TO the brave fel-
low, and so terrible was the shock pro.
duced by the tidings, that her reason was
dethroned, and she was determined to fol-
low her husband even TO the grave. Ac-
cordingly, on Sunday she made the nee
essary preparations for the disposition of
her remains, when the curtain should fall
upon the last act of the melancholy trag-
edy. Having procured phial of lauda-
mum, she administered portion of the
poison to her offspring and then swallow
ed the balance herself Some hours af-
terwards the unhappy woman was discov-
cred to be in a dying condition, with her
child folded closely to her bosom. She
was Immediately removed to Bellevue
Hospital for medical attendance, but died
in an hour or so after her admission
The child fingered until yesterday after
noon, when il succumbed to the influence
of the poisonous draught and expired
about three o'clock.-M Y. Herald.

RIOT AT BALTIMORE.
The Secesh Rejoice over the Repul>e ut
Front Royal.
THE UNION MEN DESPERATE,

Col kenlys regiment, which sustained the
brunt of the battle at Front Royal on Friday.
was raised in Baltimore, and the news of the
defeat caused great excitement there. The
secesh openly exulted, and the Union men.
who had relatives and friends in the regi-
ment, were made desperate. 1t was at first
reported that Col kenly was killed, but this
was contradcted Sunday morning. 4 dis
patch from Baltimore Sunday forenoon SAYS:
The announcement that Col kenly was not
dead was received with shouts of applause by
crowds who thronged the newspaper bullet
ms Sunday morning. The secesslonis,s hav-
ing been imprudent enough to exult over
kenly's defeat and reported death, it produc-
ed intense excitement among the Union men.
A few moments since, a man who had made
some disrespecttul remarks was roughly
handled by the crowd. There have been
several knock-Gowns so far.
Second Dispatch. excitement contin-
ues and the crowd is increasing. Two men
have just been knocked down in front of the
telegraph office. One was heard to say,
damn you-you have it your way now, but
we'll have it our way soon.' One excited
Union man proposed that the government
should be requested to move all the Union
troops from the city, and leave it to the In
Mon men to keep matters straight.
Third Dispatch streets are still
thronged, and obnoxious citizens have to
keep out of sight.
Fourth Dispatch.-The excitement contin-
ues. Obnoxious individuals have been chas-
ed for squares, the crowd venting their senti-
ments in cheers. Many arrests have been
made by the police.
Fifth Dispatch.-l:30 p. m.-The mob
made an attempt to hang man a few mo
ments ago in Monument square, but he was
rescued by the police.
Sixth Dispatch-5:45 p. m.-The crowd on
Baltimore street increased after :; O'clock
Several persons were chased during the
morning, and some were knocked down. The
marshal with his police were on the ground
in large force, and several arrests were made,
after which the crowd thinned off and all has
since been quiet.
The excitement at Baltimore continued
Monday morning. All who uttered disloyal
sentiments were knocked down. Baltimore
street from Calvert to Holiday, was crowded
and there was quite an excitement, the crowd
chasing obnoxious people and occasionally
beating some one. The people demanded
the display of the flag from all newspaper Of
fees and public buildings. All complied ex-
cept the news sheet, which Office is closed and
abandoned. The excitement is fearful, and
prominent secessionists have disappeared
from the streets. The military have taken
no part in these movements. A recruiting
office has just been opened on Baltimore
street, displaying flag bearing the inscrip-
ton, "Recruiting office of the 1st Maryland
Avengers"

@ Our rebellious Virginia brethren
ought to be heartily sick of War by this
time. To say nothing Of the uncomfortable
feeling which must result from the presence
of an invading foe, the pecuniary loss to that
section is almost incalculable. An army of
one hundred and fifty thousand or two hun
dred thousand men cannot be accommodated
on few acres, but covers the country for
miles, and when it moves, where fourishmg
fields of wheat and corn were once, they are
now seen no more. All the belongings of
civilized life are ruthlessly swept away

COnfiScate the Slaves of Rebels.

In an excellent article in the last n. Y. In
dependent, on con6scation and emancipation,
the writer proves that the rebels begun, and
have carried on this war thus far by robbery
never having raised any tax but once, and
then very small one, but having appropria-
ted to their own use for the cause of seces-
sion not only many millions of dollars owed
to northern merchants at the time the ordi-
nance OF secession was passed, but stripping
and robbing every man in the South sus-
pected Of loyalty to the government. The
writer says that were it not for the fear OF
meddling with slavery the government would
before this have confscated the property of
rebels, and closes the article with this proph-
ecy: $50 strong is my confidence in the su-
periority of moral to physical power that
venture here the prediction that the Union
must speedily grapple directly and boldly
with slavery, or slavery will even yet defeat
and destroy tie Union"
The article referred to was written by Hor-
ace Greeley, who contributes some of the
best of the many good articles in the Inde-
pendent.

to the west side, destroying l bridge, but
they were too hotly pressed to succeed in de-
stroying the principal bridge. Col Henley
made another stand on the west side of the
river, and Knapp's battery moved the rebels
down with shell and grape they fired in all
nearly 200 rounds. Col Henley received
musket shot in the neck during the first at
tack, but continued on horseback till the
close of the day, when he was placed in an
ambulance perfectly exhausted. The last
fight took place about 4 miles this side of
Front Royal, the purpose being to fall back in
order, expecting reinforcements momentarily
from Gen Banks. A member of knapp's
battery who escaped says the Maryland regi-
ment Tough: with indomitable bravery, and
Col Henley led them on frequently to bayo-
net charges. He also says that on the third
approach of Ashby he displayed white flag
till within pistol range, when Col Henley or
dered to cease firing. The white flag was
then thrown down, and the enemy rushed on
our troops, cutting and slashing and refusing
all quarter. Lieut. Col Dussam and Major
Miller are both reported wounded and taken
prisoners.
