A Singular ProphecY.

The following circumstance, says the
Richmond Wing, recently occurred at Pen
sacola, and its truth is vouched for by a
trustworthy officer of the army!
\ soldier in the Confederate service
fell into long and profound sleep, from
which his comrades vainly essayed to arouse
him. At last he woke up himself He
then stated that he should die the next af.
ternoon at four o'elock, for it was so reveal
ed to him In his dream He said in the
last week of the month of April would be
fought the greatest and bloodiest battle of
modern times, and that early in May peace
would break upon the land more suddenly
and unexpectedly than the war had done
in the beginning. The FIRST part of the
prophetic dream has been realized, for the
soldier died the next day at four O'Clock,
P. NJ. Will the rest be in April and May
Let believers in dreams wait and see."-

A Sad Case.

4 Triple BereaUemept.-On Wednes-
day last, as Lieut.. Van Arman, of the 5Sth
Illinois was passing near the Post Office,
he was accosted by youthful woman, who
said that seeing the 6gures '58' on his hat,
she hoped he mi ght be able to tell how she
could get letter to an officer in that regi-
ment. He said he would be happy to
oblige her if he could. She said she had
written several letters and received no an
swer. What is the name?' inquired Lieut..
Van Arman. Lieut.. Fife answered the
lady. / am sorry to say that Lieut.. Fife
is dead; he was killed at Pittsburg,' said
Van Arman. The effect was terrible. AL.
most instantly the lady sank to the ground,
fainting. When restored her grief was
most distressing. Lieut. Fife was her hus.
band. But, unfortunately, the sad budget
of news was not all told. 1t appears that
her father was Capt. Kurth, of Company
+, 58th regiment, and her uncle was First
Lieut. Kurth, and her husband Second
Lieut. of the same regiment. Her father
is now a prisoner, with the most of his
regiment, in the hands of the rebels, and
her uncle was wounded severely in the en-
gagement. 1t is rarely that such a con.
centration of misfortune falls upon single

The Tax Bill.

Since the report Of the tax bill publish
ed, several new amendments have been
made to it, as follows:
For kissing pretty girl, St00
For kissing homely one. $2.O0-the ex-
ira amount being added probably as pun
ishment for the mans folly.
For ladies kissing one another $1,000. The
tax is placed at this rate in order to break up
the custom altogether-it being regarded by
our M. C.'s as a piece of inexcusable absuF-
dity.
For every Irritation, 10 cents.
Every young man who has more than one
girl rs taxed $500.
For courting in the kitchen, Is cents.
Counting in the sitting-roonl. so cents.
Courtlng in the parlor, 81 90.
Courting in a romantic place, SIS 90, and
so cents for each offence thereafter.
Seeing lady home from church, Is cents
for each offence.
Seeing her home from the dime society, S
cents-the proceeds 30 be devoted to the re-
lief of disabled army chaplains.
For lady who paints so cents.
For wearing low necked dresses, $l.0o.
For each curl on lady's head, above ten,
S cents.
Fer every unfair device for entrapping
young men into matrimony, IS 90.
For wearing hoops larger than ten feet in
circumference, cents for each hoop.
Old bach's over thirty are taxed $40.
Over forty, $50.
Over fifty, $50, and sentenced to banish-
ment in Utah.
Each pretty lady to be taxed frem 25 cts.
to $25-she to fix the estimate on her own
beauty. 1t is thought that very large sum
will be realized from this provision.
Each boy baby, so cents.
Each girl baby, Is cents.
Families having more than eight babies are
not to be taxed and for twins, a premium of
$40 will be paid out of the funds accruing
from the tax on old bachelors.
Each Sunday loafer ON street corners or
about church doors is to be taxed his full
value, which is just about cents.
Each person who still advocates " concass.
ion" to the south, at his full value, 3 cents.
Secession lady wencEes, at their full value.
8 cents.

A Camp of Women at Island No. Tel

y letter to the Albany Journal, describ-
ing Island No. 10, after its capture, says ::
One of the features of the deserted rebel
camp, was peculiarity which we have not
met with heretofore. On beautiful hill,
surrounded with beautiful groves, budding
wild flowers, and the accompanying charms
OF rural retreat, We found a bevy of
nymphs encamped enjoying soldierly life in
real earnest. There were twelve or fifteen
of them, of different ages, but all young
and more or less fair to look upon They
sat around the camp fire, and cooked their
breakfast, little disheveled and rumpIed,
as might perhaps be expected, in remem-
braEce OF the scenes of excitement they
had passed through, but yet as much COM
posed, and as much at home as though
they had campaigned it all their lives
There was stray lock of hair dangling
here and there, an unlaced bodice granting
chary gllmpses of vast luxuriance of bust,
stocking down at the heel, or garter
with visible downward tendencies-all of
which was attributable to our early visit
There were all the marks of femininity
ooOoo "HN PioSC. 1uG GLuUUWGTIHS IEccS
were hung with hoop skirts, and Haunting
articles, which looked in the distance like
abbreviated pantaloons. A glance at the
interior of the tent showed magnificent
disorder Dimity and calico, silk, feathers
and all the appurtenances of female bou-
doir were visible. 1t was rara avis IN
terra--a new bird in the woods.
These feminine voyageurs were real
campaigners. The chivalry of the south,
ever solieltous for the sex. could not resist
the inclination for its society, and hence
the camp of nymphs by the river side, in
the empowering shade, ct cetera. l will
not say much for their fair fame, or for the
good name of the confederate officers,
whose baggage was mingled in admirable
confusion with the rumpled dimity and
calico, whose boots and spurs hung upon
the hoops, skirts and unmentionables, and
whose old hats ornamented the tent poles
or decked the heads Of the fair adyentur-
esses. 1t was new feature in war.

The Causes of the War. No. I.

The Causes of the War. No. l.
1t would be an objectionable wrong to
the youth of the present generation, to per-
NIT them to go uniformed concerning the
true nature and origin of the terrible war
now raging in our country. Experience
has taught us a very severe, but much
needed lesson; let it not be our fault if there
shall ever be necessity for repetition of it.
Let us be truthful and frank in assigning
the causes of the rebellion which has SO
nearly destroyed our government, and with
it our free and enlightened institutions.
1t is easy to talk of the wickedness OF
treason, and to wish all sorts of bad luck
to arch traitors but it is far nobler to look
at facts and see wherein consists the motive,
what constitutes the handspring, Of that
treason. IF we see that clearly, we can
more easily guard against its recurrence,
and thus enable our children to live more
undisturbed life than we are now leading.
Political ambition has doubtless been ve-
ry influential in stirring up the waters of
discord. Not few of the Southern lead
ers felt much as Satan is represented by
Milton as feeling,-that it was better 20
reign in hell than serve in heaven and as
their long career of domination seemed
likely to be definitely ended by the nation
al triumph of free priciples-not by the
election of sectional President, as some
partisans falsely afirm-they determined to
try the bold venture Of breaking up the
government, and securing for themselves
1ndisturbed empire. The utter ignorance
of the mass of the Southern people render
ed them easy dupes of Willy and unscrupu-
lous leaders, and by frenzied movement
the deed of Secession was wrought-not to
be undone save by the sacrifice of many
thousands of victims, some of them fur
nishing as costly blood as ever flowed in
American veins. Those leaders entered
into the hazardous game Of treason with
the full conviction that their mad schemes
would be realized by the defiant attitude OF
a united South aided by powerful party
at the North. The recent message Of his
Sub Excellency JEFF. Davis lis confession
Of that fact. Party ties and watchwords-
the potent spell Of name,-these were
