A Poor Boast.-A butternut sheet
in Iowa brags over a family of faith
err and seven grown-up sons that vo-
ted the clean buttcrnut ticket at the
late election. Of course, where you
find a family Of seven sons and none
of them in the army. their politics is
unmistakable. Had they been for the
Union ticket, six of the seven would
have been in the service of Uncle Sam
leaving the other at home to take
care of the old folks.

ARGUMENT AGAINST CAyALRY.-With the i'm. provement in firearms, writer of war seems to think that ho -es are losing their value in battle
 He says: Let the horse be ever so swift, the sabre ever so sharp, or the rider ever so bold, the conical ball Is too much for him. A charge of cavalry upon 9 body of properly armed in fantry bids fair henceforvard to be impossible. Two hundred yards has been fixed by the best authority as the proper charging distance, and in bygone days it was only at two hundred yards that the fire of square began to tell, and saddles to be emptied. But now-a-days the iron rain patters on the horsemen before they get within half g mile of the foe. If they quicken their pace too close, the maddest charge will not bring 2 dragoon horse on the bayonet in less than tiKee minutes, and when he arrives he is
 blown and disabled. When he arriycs.---if9 he
 arrives, we should say; for even in traversiur
 eight hundred yards at the top of his sneed. he receives half a dozen volleys from pract;sed sharpshooters., To send cavalry on such service will, we may safely predict, henceforward be
 considered madnessg The foot, soldier has 2 swifter messenger in his cartouch box than the feetest hussar. a'ssq aa alglassaus zsu .ssSg

THE SMART LITTLE GIRL.-In school way down in Dixie, whose teacher rather prided him self upon his skill in imparting to his pupils a correct knowledge of spelling, upon a certain examination day, when the trustees and parents were attendant upon the exercises, the whole school was put through course of spelling. The word Aa,on was given out by visitor. After numerous attempts at it, it was correctly rendered by little girl who cried out Big A little a r-o-n-Aaron."
 In the course of a few minutes all went gaily as marriage bell, every word being spelled cor rectly. At last some one gave out the word Gallery. This was rather "poser," being out of the regular track of words which were spelled in the classes Many unsuccessful at tempts having been made, by and by rough urchin whose eyes fairly twinkled with the ex. pected triumph, spoke out in clear, ringing ac- cents, mindful of the previous victory

A DARING REBEL.-A letter from Nashville gives the following account of John Morgan, the bold rebel guerilla, who has done some daring exploits lately :- 3 ' 3@@3*
 "This Col. John Morgan, for so he styles him
 self, is said to be native of Lexington, Ky. whose father was @ respectable manufacturer o
 jeans. From his youth, this Morgan has won the admiration of all who knew him for his dare devilrecklessness, which even now does not seen to have diminished in the least. We first heard ofhim when our brigade (the 8th) was, a portion of them, encamped at Pilot Knob, Mo, in Sep
 tember last. Our pickets were shot by some mysterious agency, and report stated. in camp that a tall, heavy man fwith flowing beard, mount ed on an immense black stallion, fleet as the wind, was several times detected in the act of retreating. Shot after shot was fired after him, but he seemed to bear charmed life. We lost sight of him until just before we left Cairo, when he appeared one night suddenly and shot two of ourpickets. Again he appeared at Bacon Creek, Ky, and burnt the railroad bridge under Mo Cooks nose, shot one of his pekets, and rode of before the army had recovered from it's sur prise. You remember his bold attack upon our .lines on Saturday, the 9th of March, in Mitchsls division, and again on Sunday morning, at day light upon McCook's camp, on the Franklin pike. The very same Sunday, this Morgan, dis
 guised as countryman, and dressed in butter
 nutcolored clothes. obtained pass from Gen. Mitchell, who did not know, him. and had the audacity to dine at the City Hotel in company with our own officers, making his escape with perfect aonchalancs. He came very near captur
 ing Gen. Nelson one day last week. The plot was discovered in time to be frustrated but not to catch the rogue. He has since captured the 'railroad train running between Louisville and Nnshv;lln of Gollofin toE thsrfv
 CTS prisoners, but released them, as. he seeks higher game. He has boasted that he will catch one of our generals, as an offset to Buckner, he being Buckners especial favorite. He has offer- cd reward of $l,000 to any citizen or officer who will catch him or his steed and strange to say, disguised, has made these bets openly be- fore our officers, who ut the time did not know him. Such is Col. John Morgan the famous rebel scout, who, though he deserves hanging yet wins admiring opinions from enemies as well e friends for his dariug.' ,-4----.s----~
