Thrilling Romance--Trugh Stranger
than PIcrfou

Nhrilling Romnuncc--Trurh Stranger
Than FIetiOn.
The Philadelphia HiguireF's YorklaSn
correspondence gives the following in
teresting incident concerning the late af-
fair at Lees Mills
Never until we stood by the grave of
the Green Mountain boys did we realize
how much stranger is truth than fiction
Your readers will all recollect last sum
mer a private was court-martialed for
sleeping on bis postnear the Chain Bridge,
on the Upper Potomac. He was convicted
Ibis sentence was death--the finding
was approved Of by the General, and the
day fixed for his execution. He was a
youth gilmore than ordinary intelligence
-he did not beg for pardon, but was
willing TO meet bis fate. The time drew
near-the stern necessity of war required
that an example should be made of some
one-his was an aggravated case.
But the case reached the ears Of the
President; he resolved 10 save him; he
signed a pardon and sent il ont; the day
came. Suppose, thought the President,
"my pardon has not reached him" The
telegraph was called into requisition; an
answer did not come promptly. "Bring
up my carriage" he ordered. 1t came,
and soon the important State papers were
dropped, and through the hot broiling
sun and dusty roads he rode to the
camp, about ten miles, and saw that the
soldier was saved, He has doubtless
forgotten the incident, bnt the soldier
did not When the Third Vermont
charged upon the rife pits, the enemy
poured a yOlley 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 ebbed away, he 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 he was no coward and not
afraid to die
He was inferred in the presence Of his
regiment, in little grove about two
miles to the rear of the rebel fort, in the
centre of group of holly and vines; a
few cherry trees, in full bloom, are 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 cir
cumstances to the boys, who stood around
with uncovered heads. lie prayed fol
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 earth were thrown upor
him in his narrow grave, where he lay
shrouded in his coat and blanket.
The men separated; in a few minute
all were engaged in something around th,
camp, as though nothing had happened
unusual; but that scene will live upol
their memories while life lasts. Tn
calm look of Scotts face, the seeming
look of satisfaction he felt, still fingered
and could the President have seen hir
he would have felt that his act of mere
had been wisely bestowed. But the can
mons roar is to be heard towards York
town, and we must be off TO the scene.

The moving o. an army IS not
the moving OF 50 many men.
Il includes the m0viag, or,
rather, dragging, Of m mense

heavy wheeled accouternents,
frequently Iequireir5 fifteen or
1wvity nules to perceptibly move

and ravines. But even this is a
email part Of the moving. Sub
s~lstence has got to be not only
provided, but transported; and
this again includes forage for all
the trains of mules and horses,
companies of cavalry, etc. Am
balances, with their sick and
wounded, have got to be moved.
Thousands of barrels of -four,
meat, and al! sorts of commissa-
ry stores, have got to be moved
also. In a word, all the endless
parapherhalia OF tents, baggage,
and stores of every description,
belonging to an army, have to be
moved and kept along within the
protection of the troops.
Gen. Fremont had to make his
march over hall a dozen ranges
and spurs Of mountains; had to
cross all the various intersections
and combinations of the Shenan-
doah, with all their mountain
streams; yet he came to time.
He was bound to come to time
when he left Franklin, if 1t was
In the limits of human endurance
to do so. He, himself, led the ad-
vance from the start, and with his
maps and his guides plotted his
way. His march was almost a
second crossing OF the Alps, and
a great deal faster time, in pro-
portion to the facilities at hand,
was made by him than was made
by Napoleon.
Such marching is not the way,
of course, to move troops as a
rlle. 1t is killing on them, and
soon uses up an army. But the
march shows that when an ext
gency is at hand, in which the
Government requires CELEBRITY
above any other consideration
General Fremont is eminently
fitted for the OCCASION - Wheel

The Reelection Of Members
q Congress.

Il Is generally acknowledged that the
South was indebted for its former inlu-
ence in Washington, very much to its
practice OF givins its Representatives Ia
Congress losg terms Of service. Wheth.
er this practice was deliberately adopted
unon considerations OF policy, or whether
it grew out oil a peculiar social condition,
il il not material 10 inquire. The prac-
tice existed "a a matter Of fact, while the
contrary practice OF rotation ia the choice
OF members Of Congress has generally
obtained at the North. The consequence
vas, that the Southern Representatives,
With no advantage IA ability. and inferior
in respect 10 education aud general infor-
nation, had an ~undoubted superiority in
parliamentary experience; and the import
ance of superiority in that particular ~
not be over estimated.
The interest of constituencies TO be ef-
fectively represented, is a consideration OF
vastly greater moment than the preten-
sions of aspirants. The first is public,
and affects hundreds Of thousands. The
last are the concerns of only a few indi-
yiduals.
