Charging a Square.

In speaking with friend the other dav
concerning the Mexican campaign ofIS46.
the conversation turned upon Col. Dakin.
of Louisiana, when he related little an
ecdote which is so characteristic of the
man that we cannot refrain from repeating
it.
The Colonel commanded one Of the six
regiments of volunteers which was raised
in Louisiana after the battles of Palo Alto
and Resaca de la Palma, and which ioineA
Gen. TayIor's army speedily. The Colo
mel was an old discipIinarian, very strict
and capable, snd in short time his regi-
ment excited the admiration of even vete~
ran officers, by the ease and precision with
which it drilled and mauwuvIed
One morning the regiment was drawn
up, and the men were standing at case. af
ter variety Of marches, aud charges, and
evolutions, when the Colonel took il into
his head to put their discipline to strong
er test. The regiment was thrown into a
square to receive cavalry. The command
er rode off few hundred yards, and then
wheeling his horse, came down sword in
hand, at fierce gallon, straight at his
men. lie and his steed formed an imDos.
ING looking object, Cor he was big man
and his steel big horse and neither ap.
peared to fear the giittering and bristInc
bayonets against which they were rush
ING. The men stood the charge very
well until the horse and IiJer were with
in few feet; then they broke right and
left in confusion, and opened a broad
passage for the "cavaIry" into their ranks.
OF course the Colonel was wroth, and
the way the men and officers caught it
for few moments, was by no means
agreeable to their feelings.
50 You rebel cavalry. Why, what
would you have done il thousand dra
goons bad charged on yen as did 2"
Well. just try US again, Colonel, and
see if we don't hurt your feelings" " cried
a number Of discomftted volunteers
The square was again formed. Off rode
the Colonel, round lie wheeled, and here
he came again at full speed, rushing
straight at the bayopets, and locking as il
he would crush the line to powder under
his chargers heels. TIE bayonets wav.
cred not, though the horse came faster
and faster, and finally, with a terrible
bound, sprang at the square. The square
stood the shock, and the next moment
tie horse was stretched on the ground,
with a broken bayonet ia his side, and
his limbs quivering in the death agony,
while the stout rider lay with his foot and
knee caught, and himself unable to rise.
Not man moved; the square was silent,
steady and unbroken. In another instant
the Colonel was on his feet lie replaced
lis sword in the scabbard, looked gravely
and cody at the dead horse, then at the
firm array Of soldiers, and then said, in his
quaint way:
Very well done boys; both the horse
and the square did their duty. Now you
are ready for the Iancers."
The men cbeered not 'ittlo.

Killarney---Deer Stalking.

ber, a large group Of people were collect
ed around a wagon which the railway
porters were unloading on the outer plat,

jects which attracted their attention were
a number of strange deer which had Just
arrived By the evening train. Owing to
the approach Of darkness it was impossible
to properly distinguish their color or ap-
pearance. They appear to be very large

lovers Of the chase,-that the antlered

also inquire into the SANDERS upon the
personal courage of Gen. Sigel which
Gen. Pope is known to have uttered in
Cincinnati.
It NAV also endeapor to ascertain when
Cen Pope Denounced Gen. Sgel in VIC
lent language in Cincinna att, and in less
than week afterwards in public speech
in Chicago, declared that lie considered
Gen. SigeI good officer, and that Their
personal relations had always been cor

declaration were true, WHY Geu. Pope,
when informed by Gen. Sigel on the Rap.
pahannock that the enemy were turning
his right Ly way of Waterloo Bridge and
Sulphur Springs, returned an lncredu,ous
anG insulting answer to the letter of Gen
Sigel, although its information was coro
rect, and the rebels we're already in his

Il is understood, moreover, that officers
Of Gen Pope's staff have lately repeated

Departure Of Gen. Banks Expedition
Fr0n The 81. 7. Timcs. Dec. 5.

Tie military expedition which has been
fitting out at this port for several weeks
past, under the command Of Maj. Gen \.
Z. Banks, set sail yesterday, and is now,
fairly under way for its final destination.
What that destination is has been a sub,
jet Of much speculation on the part OF
The loyal public, and of anxiety on the
part cf the rebels, but thus far it has been
well kept secret. The probabilities are
that the first announcement Of its destina-
ton was correct. and thatin due time the
expedition will find its way to the shores
of Texas.
The magnitude ofthe expedition is also
subject about which it is not proper
TO 90 into details, for, though not 50
much secret as its destination, it is a
species of contraLand news of which the
rebels already get more than their share
and deserves no addition from loyal sour
ces. Suffice It to say that it is tie last,
best equipped and most formidable exDedi-
ton that has vet been sent out bv the
government, and on whatever part Of Tie
southern coast it may land, it is safe to
predict that results will follow correspond
ing with lis magnitude, and jnstifying the
most sanguine expectations Of the govern
ment and people Of the North.
The troops composing the expedition
are from the states of Maine, New IIamp-
shire, Massachusetts,, Connecticut and
New York, and as a whole they ale un-
surpassed by any troops that have been
raised in those states since the commence
ment Of the war. The greater portion of
them have been encamped in the vicinity
of New York for some time past, and
their splendid phgsiqte. rare intelligence,
and superior soldierly qualities, have been
The admiration Of our citizens, The for
ces Of the expedition are to rendezvous at
Fortress Monroe, and several transports
loaded with troops have sailed from here
during the past week, and are now at that
point. The remainder that were ready
sailed yesterday, including the comman>
Der Of the expedition but other troops
are to follow as soon as they are in readi,
ness. Brig. Gen Geo L. Andrews re-
mains behind, at Cen Banks' headquar

of the remaining troops of the expedition
Gen. Banks and lis staff sailed in the
