mortifyingly disastrous. If the attack at
Shiloh was a surprise to Gen. Grant, the

with the meeting Of two oontrabands, hus-
band and wife who had been separated for
some time. They were on q road near
Newbern, each with OK teams. AS tIey
approached, the husband discovered his
wife ana gave q loud @gufaY." Ps then
dismounted and began TO sing. Then he
turned summersaulls, and finally stood
boltupright on his head, and for several
minutes knocked his feet together. he
went through with these performRnees for
some time, an the while singing vigOrOhs-

The WooI Trade.


Many Of our wool growers have held
back their ieeces from, tlie market in the
belief that they could force a price of 40
and 80 cents from Eastern buyers In
view Of the falling OF in the Eastern de
mand, this seems poor policy. Already a
number Of the wool merchants who have
been in the city for two weeks, have re-
turned to the East, saying that they can
buy cheaper, even in Boston and New
York, than here The farmers may there
fore be working against their own interest
in holding back their clips. Upon the
Wool Market the Boston Commercial Bull
letin remarks: f 1.li -
The wool market has taken quite a sim
gular, and, to most parties, an unexpected
turn. The almost entire falling of in the
demand for army blues, and the quiet state
Of the market for staple goods, have rather
checked operations among manufacturers,
and consequently the market for the raw
material has come to a standstill, and the
expectations Of holders Of domestic woods
viii hardly be realized The stock over
Of the last clip is large, and the new clip
is within six weeks. The following ex-
tract, from the market report in the n. Y
Journal Of Commerce, corresponds to our
views:
a. The Eastern markets are now offering
but little American fleece, and we doubt il
there are any very considerable lots Of any
grade in the hands Of manufacturers or 1
Dealers that which is held is almost en-
tirely Of the finer grades. The buyers of
the new clip have commenced operations
At rates about 12G15e higher than those
paid q year ago. The judgment Of the
trade here is nearly unanimous, that 35G !
37c are as high figures as the prospects |
Of the business viii warrant buyers in
paying to the produce for the average
wOols Of the Northern and Western States !
In years past, as a general thing, those who |
paid higher than 35c have lost money by |
the operation; the stock Of coarse foreign |
Wools is light, and there is not large |
supply Of either medium or fne.
"9feOurse operators in wool win not ex- |
peci the heavy demand for coarse and medi-
um grades for army goods which ruled last |
year, for the reason that the army in the 4
field is clothed, and the stock Of cloths now |
held by the Government and private par
ties is nearly sufficient for years supply |
for the Union forces. They have there 1
fore to depend, chiefly, upon the natural /
consumptive demand Of the country, which |
win be measurably diminished by the /
number Of men retained in the army"

Speaking Of Kirby's battery recalls to
mind an exceedingly well authenticated
incident Of Fair Oaks, in which Maeruder
figured conspicuously. He was directing
the rebel movements on their left, opposite
Sedgwick division. Kirby's battery was
pouring in heavy discharges of canister,
when Magruder caught sight of II, and by
its old, peculiar and faded guidons, at once
recognized it as light battery I, lst United
States artillery, formerly commanded by
himself. T7l He at once exclaimed; HBy CD,
boys, that's my battery-charge on it'll
they obeyed. Once, twice, thrice, they
esPaysd an adyRHcei but it was advancing
TO sure destruction. Kirby, with relent-
less severity and great accuracy, poured
round after round Of canister into them,
and they were finally swept back in great
cohfusion Seeing this, Makruder charac-
teristically exclaimed: That Ere is hotter
