Gen. Zollicoffer advanced 10 within a
short distance of an Ohio regiment, which
had taken position at point unknown 10
him, and which he supposed to be one of
his own regiments. The first intimaticn
he had of his dangerous position was re-
ceived when it was to late. "There's old
Zolicoffer, "..cried out several OF the regiment
in front of him. ''Kill him" and in an
instant their peices were leveled at his per-
son. At that moment, Henry M. Fogg,
aid to Gen. Zollicoffer, drew his revolver
and fired killed the person who first recog-
nized Gen. Z. With the most perfect
coolness, GEN.. approached to the head
of the enemy, and, drawing his sabre, cut
the head of the Lincoln Colonel from his
shoulders. AS soon as this was done
twenty bullets pierced the body of our
gallant leader, and Gen. Zollicoffer fell
from his horse maDgled corpse.

Bouncing the welcome intelligence to your

has come out of this fiery furnace without

The city this morning was thrown iuto
a fever of excitement by the announcement
that Gen. Stone had been arrested and
was taken to Fort Lafayette. The charges
against him are not definitely known, but
il is rumored that he has been detected In
some reasonable operations with the re-
bells. The Balls Bluff disaster-that
wholesale murder affair-was probably
conceived and executed by this officer in
connection with leaders in the rebel army
but what is remarkable in the case is
is the astounding fact that no examination,
at least satisfactory to the public, was ever
had in the matter till recent events drew
attention 10 Stone. There are Others in
the same category with Stone, who are in
command still, and whose treason has not
come to eliminating point. The new

infamous Arnolds in our army, and before
they are aware of it their necks will be in
the halter. We want few examples

Curiosities of Sleep.

Some boys slept from fatigue, on board
OF Nelson's ship, at the battle Of the Nile.
Among the impressive incidents of Sir
John Moore's disastrous retreat TO Corrun-
ma, in Spain not the least striking is the
recorded fact that many of his soldiers
steadily pursued their march whilst fast
asleep. Franklin, slept nearly an hour
swimming on his back. An acquaint-
anee of DR.. D. travellin gwith party in
North Carolina, being greatly fatigued,
was observed to be sound asleep in his
saddle. His horse being better walker,
went far in advance of the rest. On cross
ing a hill, they found him on the ground
snoring quietly. His horse bad fallen, as
was evident from his broken knees, and
had thrown his rider.
Animals of the lowest orders obey Pc
culiar laws in regard to sleep. Fish are
said to sleep soundly, and we are told by
Aristotle that the tench may be taken in
this state, approached cautiously. Many
birds and beasts of prey take their repose
in day time. When kept in captivity, this
habit changes, which makes US donbt
whether it was not the result of necessity
which demands that they should take ad-
vantage Of the darkness, silence and the
uBguarded state of their victims. In
the Menagerie at Paris, even the hy-
ena sleeps at night and is awake by day.
They all, however, seek as favoring the
purpose, certain degree of seclusion and
shade, with the exception of the lion who
sleeps at MONDAY, in the open plain-and
the eagle and condor, which poise them
selves on the most elevated pinnacle Of the
rock in the clear blue atmosphere and daz-
zling sunlight. Birds, however are furnish
ished with nictitating membrane gener-
ally to shelter the eye from the light
Fish prefer to retire to sleep under the
shadow of rock, or woody bank. Of do
mestic animals, the horse seems to require
least sleep, and that be usually takes in an
erect posture. Birds that roost in sit
ting posture are furnished with a well a
dapted mechanism which keeps them firm
ly supported with voluntary action. The
tendon Of the claws is so arranged as to
be tightened by their weight when the
thighs are bent, thus contracting close, and
grasping the bough Or perch. In certain
other animals which sleep erect, the artic-
ulations of the foot and knee resemble the
spring of pocket knife, which serves to
keep the blade open.
