Clinging to Youth.

l abominate the padded, rouged, dyed old
sham; but heartily respect the man or woman,
pensve and sad, as some little Circumstance has
impressed upon them the fact that they are be-
ginning to grow old. A man Or woman is fool
who is ndgnen. at being called the old lady or
the old gentleman, when these phrases state the
truth; but there is nothing foolish or unworthy
when some such occurrence brings it home to us
with something of shock, that we are no longer
reckoned among the young, and that the innocent
and impressionable days of childhood, so well re-
membered, are beginning to be far away. We
are drawing nearer, we know, to certain solemn
realities of which we speak much and feel little;
the undiscovered country humbly sought, through
the pilgrimage of life, is looming in the distance
before We feel that this is not long, and is not
commonplace when it is regarded as the portal to
eternity. And probably nothing will bring back
the season of infancy and early youth upon any
thoughtful mans mind so wildly as the sense
that he is growing old. How short time since
then You look at your great brown hand. 1t
seems like yesterday since boy companion tried
to print your name upon the little paw, and there
was not room. You remember it as it looked
when laid on the head of friendly dog two or
three days before you found him poisoned and
dead and helped, not without tears, to bury him
in the garden under an apple-tree. You see, as
plainly as if you saw it now, his brown eye, as it
looked at you in life for the last time. And as
you feel these things, you quite unafectedly and
sincerely Put off, time after time, the period at
which you will accept it as fact that you are old.
Twenty-eight, thirty, thirty-fve, fory-eght, mark
years on reaching which you will still feel your
self youngj many men honestly think that sixty

A railroad Chase in Georgia.

The Georgia lntelligencer gives long account
of the chase which recently occurred on tie Geor
gia State Railroad. A party of Union men,
whom this paper describes as Lincoln hirelings,
thieves and robbers" quietly detached the loco
motive and three cars of mail train at station
near Marietta, while The conductor and engineer
were at breakfast, and went off at full speed with
the intention Of destroying the bridges some dis
tance up the road One Walker, the master Of
transportation, Immediately started with another
engine in pursuit, and lively race ensued. On
the road twenty armed rebels joined in the chase
having been picked up as the alarm spread. One
of the rebels who engaged in the chase describes
the result as follows:
"When we arrived at Kingston we found that
the thieves had passed some twenty-five minutes
ahead of US. We were there told that they sta
ted that they had been pressed by the government
to carry powder and ammunition to Beauregard !;
that Fuller and the regular mail train was be-
hind and would be on directly. This they did
to get the switch keys; and so plausible were the
statements that they completely deceived the
agent at Kingston. At Kingston we changed en-
gines, taking the Rome engine, which was already
fred up, and which was kindly offered to US by
Mr.. Smith, the conductor. We pursued on then
until within four miles of Adairsville where the
track was again torn up and cross-ties placed up
on it.
Mr.. Murphy and myself then again took afoot
at double quick, till we met the down express
train mile this side of Adairsyille, This train
we stopped and turned back to Adarsville, where
we switched off the cars and took the engine only,
Mr.. Bracken, its engineer, running It. In this
way we still continued the pursuit, after having
to stop to remove the obstructions of eIess-ties
&C., that the thieves had put at intervals, on the
shortest curves, in our way
We soon came within half mile of them, and
apprehensive they might turn their engine back

Our Childhood.

IT'S sad. yet sweet, to listen
To the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood knew so well;
To gaze out on the even
And the boundless fields of air,
And feel again our boyhOod's wish
To roam like angels there
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling around the past;
And from the tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come thronging fast;
The forms we loved so dearly
In the happy days now gone;
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon;
Those bright and gentle maidens
Who seemed so formed for bliss;
Too glorious and heavenly
For such a world as this
Whose soft dark eyes seem swimming
In a sea Of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were streaming
Der brows so sunny bright
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the spring time of the year,
Like the ehangeful CLEANS Of April
They follow every tear
They have passed, like hope, away,
All NuJli AONtlllScb AlltS lcQ
o, many heart is mourn ing
That they are with the dead.
Like the brightest buds Of summer,
They have fallen from the stem;
Yet o, it is a lovely death
To fade from earth like them
And yet the thought is saddening
To muse on such as they.
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing fast away
That the fair ones whom we love,
Grow to each loving breast
Like tendrils Of the clinging vine,
Then perish whore they rest.
And can we but think Of these
In the soft and gentle spring, .
When the trees are waving DER us,
And the flowers are blOssoming
For we know that winters coming
With his cold and stormy sky,
And the glorious beauty round US
Is budding but to die.

DRAFTING AS A SPUR TO MATRIMoNY.--A cor
respondent of an evening newspaper lately pro-
posed that the government should follow the ex-
ample Ct Europe, and make its draft for soldiers
from among unmarried men, as those best able to
be spared for the field The suggestion has been
warmly seconded by the ladies, especially the uni
married cnes, who evidently think that the rush
into matrimony, to escape conscription, would
beat the skedaddle to Canada "all hollow" 'If
the government were to threaten such thing if
only for week." remarked Miss McFlimsey,-
"what poppn' O. questions there would be- and
such demand for frosted cake, and white wells,
and orange aowers-and ohlb (and here Miss
McFlimsey looked over her fan to the nice young
minister opposite,) "what harvest for the poor
clergy !"
THE POSTAGE STAMP CURRENcY.-As postage
stamps are soon TO be currency and legal tenders,
it is important that the public should know par
tcularly about them. The one cent stamp is
blue, and has the vignette of Franklin. The
three cent stamp (the one comnony used) is red
or pink, with the portrait of Washington. The
five cent is chocolate color with head of Jeffer-
son. The ten cent is green, with the portrait Of
Washington The twelve cent is black with the
portrait Of Washington. The twenty-four cent is
lilac, with the head Of Washington The thirty
cent is yellow, with the vignelte of Franklin
The ninety cent is blue, withthe portrait of Wash
ington as appearing when d young general.
THE War Department has issued an order that
hereafter no Major or Brigadier Generals shall
be appointed excepting from among officers of
the regular army, who have rendered meritorious
and distinguished services, or volunteer officers,
who, by some successful achievement in the field,
shall have displayed the military qualifications re-,
quired for the duties Of general officer

The editor Of the Journal charges that the sth
Of January Convention was "BRIeHr Conven-
tion:" that il was controlled By the most intimate
friends Of Senator BRIsHT. The Washington
correspondent Of the same Journal writes that he
has il from reliable source. writing under the
date Of the 18Th that Senator BRIGHr de
nounces in bitter words the Democratic COnven-
ton, its resolutions and leaders" In Indiana
the Republican party hacks charge that BRicHr
controlled the Convention, but in Washington
the same class Of INSCRIPTIONS men report that
BRicHr denounces the Convention This is a
specimen of Republican honesty and tactics
The fact il, as the Journal well knows, that
neither BKIeHr. WRIGHT "or any other man, con
trolled the Convention. but that it was fair re-
lection Of popular sentiment. II was not called
to do homage TO any man. but simply to speak
plainly upon the present condition Of the country
and the management Of public Affairs. The fact
that President LINCOLN has since the meeting of
the Convention removed Secretary CAMERON is
one evidence that the Democracy OF Indiana
have not spoken In vain.

RUNoRED DEATH OF GEORGE z BUELL. ESQ d.
BY DRowNING. During yesterday a painful ru-
NOR was widely circulated throughout the city
that George +. Buell. Esq, the editor of the
Daily Times, had come to his death suddenly by
drowning in the Ohio River The following par
ticulars, upon which is based the report, and
which, we regret TO say. appears plausible, we re-
ceived at the Daily Times office and from Mr.
Buell's brother last evening. Night before last
Mr. Buell. went down to the river, and weat on
board of a trading boat lying below Vine street
and which belonged to Mr. BuelI's brother
George Z. remained on board of the boat with
his brother ali night. Early yesterday morning
George inquired of his brother as To where he
should go to attend the calls of nature, and was
directed TO yawl lying outside the trading boat
George jumped down into the yawl, with his
pants, shirt, and cap on only, and since then has
not been seen. The brother informs us that
soon after George got into the yawl steamer
came up the river only about fifty yards distant
from the boat, the waves rocking the boat vio-
lently. The brother believes that the waves 80
tossed about the skf that George was cast into
the river and drowned. He has no doubt of his
brothers death. The coat vest and shoes of
George were left in the cabin of the boat so that
all the circumstances indicate that our friend
George has met an untmely death in a watery
graye.-Cin Eng 18th

The inteligen, correspondent OF the Chicago
Iuncs writes as follows from Washington under
date Of the l3th in regard 10 the strength Of the
Confederate army upon the Potomac and designs
OF Gen. BEArREeARD and the necessit, ofrestoring
the Union feeling at the South
The Southern military leaders are impressed
with the belief that il is no part of Gen McClel-
Ian plan TO have great and decisive battle
fought IA tie neighborhood Of Washing ton. They
have somehow got the i'm ression that, in Gen.
McClellan's opinion, a battle near Washington
would involve TOO great risk 70 the safety OF the
Federal capital and that &c u hls policy attack
them at other points, and al so many other points
all az the same time, that they will have 10 with
draw a good portion of their army from Manas-
sas Holding these views, they are determined
that one great battle shall take place near Wash
ington, and that no part of Beauregards army Of
the Potomac shall be withdrawn until such bat
tie has been fought. | believe, however, that
when the great advance does take place there will
be as hard blows given and taken at Centerville
as al any other point. The idea that any portion
OF Beauregard's army of the Potomac has been
or viii be Withdrawn for the defence of any other
point, Is entirely fallacious and is not entertained
At all IN well informed military circles here. IL
i the opinion of the best Informed military men
here that the Confederate army of the Potomac
Is quite as strong numerically as ours; that their
arms and clothing are as good as ours and their
officers as experienced. The result of the bat
tie, then, when it is fought, may well be
watched with the most intense interest Per-
haps It Is not too much to say that il will de-
eide the fate OF the war
You are aware how unmndful both houses of
Congress have been, up TO this time, of the only
object they ought TO have before them namely:
the providing OF means to carry on the war and
that the time OF Congress is wasted in frivolous
chatter about every other subject under heaven.
Ii is now that Illinois misses her great departed
Senator. Were he now alive, he would ask why
II Is that Congress is doing nothing TO encourage
the Union feeling in the Southern States lie
would show that our fleets and our armies ma v
conquer and subjugate the Southern States but
that 1t Is revival of Union sentiments at the
South that alone can restore 10 US our country as
II was. lie would expose the designs of the Abo-
litionists, who wish to conquer the South only to
destroy il; and he would rally around him, in this
attempt to restore the Union feeling at the South,
every conservative member of Congress. Is
there no one upon whom the mantle of tie dead
Senator has fallen
