At Casey's old camp there were no human
bodies as there it was an easy matter TO dispose
of them Immediately after the fight But hun
dreds of horses, torn by shot and shell, lay all
around, the carcasses emitting pestilential
stencil. On Sunday, when we were again in
possession of this field, men and animals lay
close together.
''Riaer and steed in one red burial btenf."
The animals are now being burned as that is
the only way in which they can be disposed OF,
and the horrid efluvia removed from its too close
contact with our camp. Upon approaching this
spot it requires considerable effort to lead man
to it, the rocking odor being so offensive To-
morrow its condition will be favorable enough
for re-occupation. In direct rail road line
from this camp to Richmond it is just seven miles
s'Fair Oaks" is the name of the station.

tween the Secretary of War and the Marshal,
the Military Governor of Washington was sent
for, and he had Cross taken to the guard-house
for safe keeping by fle of soldiers.
The next day Marshal biward and Deputy
jenkins brought Cross to this city, and returned
him to his old quarters, in the Penitentiary.
On the way up, in conversation with the Dep
uty, he admitted that two of his friends were
on the train in which they went to Baltimore,
and intimated that but for his presence an es-
cape would have been attempted. When re-
turned to the Penitentiary, he denied the right
Of the warden to detain him, and demanded in
the most bold and confident manner his release,
as he had done to Secretary Stanton, in the War
Office
Cross was convicted in July, 1860, of the
forgery of check on the Consolidation Bank,
and sentenced to five years Imprisonment. He
is represented to be one of the most expert for
gers living, and to have committed more forgeries
than any other man. An attempt to effect his
release from a New York prison, similar to that
above described, was made several years ago.
A letter purporting to be from the warden of
the prison, and one by the physician OF the in
stiaution, were sent to the Governor, and par
don obtained.-The forgery was discovered be-
fore Cross got off 1t will be remembered that
he made his escape in this city from one of the
court officers, who took him to public house
near Second and Washington streets, and was
locked in room up stairs by him, while he
ran out, got into carriage and was driven a
way. lie was afterwards captured in the up
per part of the city.
AS the letter and the petition received by the
Marshal, are believed to have been written
by Cross, it is difficult to conceive how the pa
per was conveyed to him, and from out OF the
Penitentiary, to be sent to Washington for mail
ing to this city. As the paper and envelope
were both from the War Office, they must have
been stolen. The difficulty of anything being
conveyed to and from prisoners in the Peniten-
tiary, grows out of the regulation which re-
quires the presence Of a keeper when stranger
is in the cell.

solemn oath to support the Constitution, Mr..
Lincoln said:
81 have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to
interfere with the institution of slavery in the
States where it exists. I believe / have no
lawful right to do so and have no inclination
to do So"
The House of Representatives of the Thirty
sixth Congress, majority of whose members
were Republican, passed the following resolu-
tions unanimously:
'That neither the Congress of the United
States nor the people or government of tho
non-slaveholding States have the constitution
al right to legislate upon, or interfere with
slavery in any of the slaveholding States of the
Union"

party, by its own legislation. had recognized.
and approved the doctrine of popular sovei
eighty, which Judge Douglas regarded as essen
tial to the removal from these halls Of the most
disturbing question Of our country.
do not presume that when Judge Douglas
thus strongly asserted the necessity of main
tanning inviolate the Constitution Of his coun-
try he for moment suspected that you would
ever attempt the violation of the pledges which
your Republican Congress had given the peo-
pie, and which your Republican President has
reiterated. But the bills now under consider
alton propose to violate not only your pledges,
but at the same time, the Constitution. You
forget your promises you advocate those bills,
and urge their passage through Congress.

Puzzling a Yankee.

Americans are an inquisitive people, yet from
the very cessity which this engenders, there is
no person better understands the art of parry
ing and battling inquisitiveness in another than
Yankee We were quite amused recently by
an account given by city friend of colloquy
which came off in country village through
which he was travelling, between himself and
one of the natives" who manifested an itching
curiosity to pry into his affairs.
'sHow do you do 7" exclaimed the latter, bus.
tng up to him as he alighted for a few moments
at hotel "Reckon I've seen you fore now Z"
''Oh, yes," was the answer of the Yankee,
''no doubt; / have been here often in my life."
'Spose you're going to -, expecting the
name and place to be suppled.l
'Just SOL go there regularly once year"
Sand you've come from -"
EXACTLY, sir; you are exactly right; that Is
my place OF -es;dance,
"Really, now, dew tell; l 'spose you're u 1nws
yer, or may be trader, or perhaps some other
perfeshun or calling"
''Yes, have always pursued some one of
these professions"
SCOT business in the country, eh?"
"Yes, l am at this time engaged in travelling"
81 see by your trunk that you're from Boston:
Anything stirring in Boston"
"Yes; men, women, horses and carriages;
and famous northeastern"
''You don't say SO? Well, declare, now,
you are tarnal cute What do you think they
will do with Sims7"
''Why, it is my opinion that they will either
deliver him up to the claimant, or let him go
free"

ton--did an awful sight of damage, 'spose?"
eyes, it wet all the buildings and made the
streets damp-very damp, indced!"
''Didnt old Fancuil Hall get soakini"
'tNo. They hauled it on to the Common,
under the Liberty tree"
'You're a circus chap, guess; you're kinder
foolin. Pray, Mister, if it's civil question,
what might your name beT
'It might be Smith or Brown, but it is not
by long chalk. The fact is, sir, I never had
a name. When was born, my mother was so
busy that she forgot to name me, and soon after
l was snapped away by mistake for another boy,
and am now just applying to the Le9 nature for
a name. When / get it, will send you my
card. Good morning, sir"
And so saying the speaker Jumped into the
carriage and drove off, leaving the Pad Pry Of
the place scratching his head in bewilderment,
and apparently in more perplexity than ere he
had commenced bis catechisings.

The shades of night were falling fast
As through southern village passed
A youth, who bore, not over nice,
A banner with the gay device,
Skedadde
His hair was red his toes beneath,
Peeped, like an acorn from IFS sheath,
While with frightened voice he sung
A burden strange to Yankee tongue,
Skedaddlc!
He saw no household fire, where he
Might warm his tod or hominy;
B4yond the Cordilleras shone,
And from his lips escaped groan,

The Octoroon she winked her eye,
But still he answered with a sigh,
Skedaddle
nBeware of Mcclellan, Buell. and Banks,
Beware of Halleck's deadly ranks!'
This was the planters last good night;
The chap replied, far out of sight,
Skedaddle!
At break of day, as several boys
From Maine, New York and Illinois,
Were moving southwark, in the air
They heard these accents OF despair,
Skedaddle!
A chap was found, and at his side
A bottle, showing how he died;
Still grasping in his hand of ico
That banner with the strange device,
Skedaddle!
There in the twilight thick and gray,
Considerably played out, he lay;
And through the vapor, gray and thick,
A voice fell, like rocket stick,
Skedaddle!

Il is reported that when Ben Wade was koy
he was the owner Of an ugly cur, and delighted
10 seeing him combat every dog which happen.

was about to get the worst Of the fight he inya.
riAbly played dog and took hand.
That upon one occasion be met q farmers
son who was possessed of like brute, and Ben
insisted upon a fight. The dogs, after little
encouragement from Ben, went at it in earnest,
Ben lending helping hand whenever
kick or blow could be applied to advantage
Whereupon the farmers son became indignant
and coolly approachedlB Ben and leveled him at
single blow, and left the dogs and Ben in pro.
miscuous pile to decide The Championship Of the
trio
Ben's dog mistaking him for his antagonist
gave him vicious bite; whereupon, Ben in his
anger, dealt him one heavy blow, and quickly
sprlnglng up took to HE heels.
We think the abolition dog that Ben has
fondled over 90 much, and took such great pleas
ure in Kissing upon the secession dogs Of the
South, has at last bit him, and Ben has taken
to his heels. One thing We are sure of, the
conservative people have leveled him, and that
his friends say it was the abolition dog that bit
him in the caucus; and we know, moreover,
that his associations and career in life accord

These are the sentiments as expressed by
that "Arch-spostle of Aboltionism," in re-
cent speech. The same has been urged By the
New York Tribune, and other Republican
journals "Murder will out" and It Is impos.
sible for these traitors-to concede their fears,

No doubt the Republican leaders would rsth.
or lose the Government OF our fathers, than
that their party be destroyed; but they are
doomed to disappointment. The people will
