A Contrast.

A gentleman visiting one of the hospi-
tails in St. Louis, in which the wounded,
both of the federal and rebel armies at Ft
Donelson, were Unfortunately cared for,
paused at the bedside of soldier, whom be
tock to belong to the Union army, but who
in reality was sscessionist. To some
words of sympathy expressed by the vis-
itor, the misguided rebsl made the follow
ing reply

have bought my wit at dear price. Your
men know nothing of suffering and sacri-
fee like ours. l have left my family I'M
provided for and they know not and can
not know whether I am dead or alive, and
know as little of them. My food has
been seant and poor, my clothing shabby
and thin, aud for month of my service
have marched with bare feet. Ny pay, if
any, has been in rags. | was a poor man
before, but had health. Now that is lost
And after ali this, from the cause which l
have served, I have no hope Of glory"
Upon this remark the gentleman COM
ments as follows:
This, if not the patients peculiar Ian
gnage, was the tenor of his reflections. It
showed a generous soul indignant at the
treachery which had betrayed him into a
crime which wouaded his sense of honor
and selfrespect He thought he had been
fighting to defend his liberty and rights
under the government and constitution of
the United States. He found that he had
been fighting to overthrow them, and yoke
his own neck to the car of demagogue's
ambition.
Near him lay wounded federal soldier
One arm was amputated above the elbow
the other was helpless with flesh wound
in his legs and body were several buck
shots. Speaking of having just seen some
of his late opponents on the battle field, be
inquired for them with magnanimous in
terest; was glad to hear that they we're as
kindly treated as he was, and not Oindict-
iOe a0ord escaped his lips. Though manned
and disabled for life, he seemed cheerful and
grateful that he had suffered to maintain
the rightfuI government and integrity of
his country, and the hope of a life Of honor
amid gratefully appreciating people sus-
tanned his spirits under his painful wounds.

A highly respectable and intelligent

Richmond, Va, has just returned to this
city from the latter place, having been
granted the privilege to come Nor.b,

Of either military or political character,
that might give aid or comfort to the
North. We have been favored, how.
