To correspondent Of the Chicago Jour.
nal, We are indebted for the following per
sketch Of the Western Generals:
"While seated at the upper end of the
steamer at an early hour yesterday morn
ing, at rittsburg Landing, with a party Of
military friends, a quiet and observant
gentleman Of about ffty, about five feet
eight in height, whose weight would, per-
haps, be not over one hundred and eighty
pounds, was pointed to me as, with one
hand in his pocket, and the other employ.
ed in removing a cigar from his mouth,
and replacing it there, walked about the
muleteers and wagon-among the stacks OF
pressed hay and bags of oats and corn,
among the newly arrived batteries of arti.
lery and regiments of infantry, and, in
short, cast an eager eye on every object
animate and inanimatc-a sallow- faced
gentleman, was unmistakably like Paul
Pry, of an inquiring disposition"
Occasionally during his peripatetic ram.
bling an officer would be seen to approach
with missive, and awaiting his answer;
would disappear, the stout gentleman re-.
sumo his ramble and observations. Soon
thin gentleman, with full gray uniform
and glasses, wearing the uniform of Maj
General, and followed by several staff off.
GERS, came riding up and took SURVEY Of
the plateau as if search Of some one, and
then dashed forward and shook hands with
the gentleman, with investigating proclivi-
ties. 'On that old fellow with the cigar
said my friend, Col. -, depends the fate
of our armies in southwest, and on the
other rests the glory Of saving it from ut
ter annihlation." As my readers will
have guessed, | was gazing upon Hal.

Peaceable Secession.

Peaceable Secession.
The N. Y. Tribune, probably the most
conspicuous Republican journal in the
Union, up to the 18th inst, has been in
favor of peaceabe separation Of the States
lin that respect differing not from JEFF.
Davis, Brcckinrde, and all his reasonable
confreres. Lest it be claimed that we have
misrcpresented the Tribune, we give here
with its own language, calling attention te
the point that it casts all the blame of the
present civil war upon the north:
1--WE have steadfastly affirmed and up.
held Mr.. Jetferson's doctrine, embodied in
the Declaration Of Independence, of the
right Of revolution. We have insisted that
where this right is asserted and its eXer-
else is properly attempted, it ought not to
be necessary to subject all concerned to the
woes and horrors Of civil war. In other
aoords, achat one party has right t" do,
another can hdre no right to resist. And
we have urged that, had the great mass of
the Southern people really desired disso-
luton Of the Union and been willing to ex-
ercise areasonable patience, their end might
have been attained without devastation and
carnage; fer we with thousands more in the
North, would have done all in our power
to incline our fellow citizens to defer to
their request, and let them 60 in peace"
Not satisfied with this it goes even far
ther and consents to dismemberment OF
the Republic and the sloughing off Of the
rich Pacific States. Read:
"Now should the time arrive in our day
when the great body of the people Of our
Pacific States shall say deliberately, kind
ly, firmly, to those this side of the Rocky
Mountains, "You are stronger than We
older, more wealthy, more powerful--but
We ask you to let us go for we believe we
can do better by ourselves than with you'
we shall respond, and urge others to
respond, '::Go in peace, and Heavens bless
ing attend you! We believe that is the
right, the wise, the Christian answer to
such request, and that the world will yet
perceive and recognize the truth"

ct City Ne,os, and the Clayton Co. Jour-
nal, tell us how they regard these two ex-

The Logic of the Issue.

NC AoSsC o1 sne issue.
The persistent observation of the facts
connected with this war, by those who
should look with the eye of logic into the
matter, is one Of the inexpl,cable mysteries
of the day. The New York Times, howev-
er, penetrates the subject in the following
remarks which in their clearncss are axi.
omatic, though popular opinion generally
rests upon very different hypothesis
"The first great obstacle TO the restora-
,ion of the authority of the National Gov
ernment is the military power which rcsists
and defies it; the first thing to be done,
therefore, is to break doacn that yoscer j; and
this can only be done by force of arms
The question of Slavery has no direct or
immediate connection with this. Slavery
may be at the bottom of the rebellion, as it
doubtless is; but the rebellion itself must
first be crushed before We can explore its
causes or deal with them. One thinsA
very clear; whatever is to be done with
Slavery can be more wisely. more safely,

IAsrY MARRIAGEs.-Ther is not a town,
there is scarcely village, which does not
number among its inhabitants women who
have married on very short acquaintance,
only to be abused, deserted, and left bur.
den and lifelong sorrow to the families in
which they were born and reared, and which
they imprudcntly and improperly deserted
to share the fortunes of comparative stran.
gers. II young women would realise how
grossly indicate, as well as culpably reck-
less such marriages appear in the eyes Of
the observing, they surely would forbcar.
Marriage is an undertaking in which no de-
lay can be SO hazardous as undue prscipi-
tation.

ASK Your ENEMIEs-If you want to
know your faults. ask your enemies what
they are and you will be told. If there is
broken place in your coat of mail, thsy
will discover it and thrust in spear there
They will pierce you between the joints of
your harness. Perhaps some people think
that one must needs be very wicked to
have enemies. No, no; there is not good
man or woman on earth (unless they arc
happily good-persons of no force of char
acter) who has not at least one enemy. It
is no credit to man to have it truly said
of him. "He has not an enemy in the
world" Such a sentence would do very
well to engrave upon the tomb stone of an
infant or an idiot, but it is far from being
complimentary to man.

For sons whom each new day endears:

Through ife's strong paths, no father care,
Whose hearts the robes Of mdu rniug wear.

Where heroes fought who would not yield,
While they the sword of Right could wisld.

And speed the day when black and white,

And grateful hearts rich Joy express.
Then shall the songs of praise abound,
Which Earth shall echo wide around,
And Heaven itself shall glad resound.

COMING HOME.
ny PnGBE CARY.


Brothers and sisters, growing old,
Do you all remember yet
That home, in tho shade of the rustling trees,
Where once tho household metz
Do you know how we used TO come from schoo
Through the summers pleasant heat;
With the yellow fennel's golden dust
On our tired little feet?
And how sometimes in idle mood
We loitcred by the way; .3f.
And stopped in the woods to gather flowers,
And by the fields to plays;
Till warned by the deep'ning shadows
That told of the coming night,
We climbed to tho top of the last long hill,
And saw our home is sight,
And, brothers and sisters, older now
Than she whose life is DER,
Do you think of the mothers loving face,
That looked from the open door?
Alas, for the changing things of time;
That home in the dust is low;
And that loving smile was hid from us,
In the darkness, long ago!
And we have come TO life's last hill,
From which our weary eyes .I
Can almost look on that home that shines
Eternal in the skies.
So, brothers and sisters, as we go,
Still let us move as one,
Always together keeping step,
Till the march of life is done;
For that mother, who waited for us here,
Wearing a smile so sweet,
Now waits on the hills of paradise
For her children's coming feet!

THREE TIMES A DAY.
4" Adela, my darling! Adela!"

"Adela, my darling! Adelaw
"She has gone out, grandpa"
"Gone out-with whom? Has she
left mo here alone with you Julietta?'
"Little Mary is here, grandpa, playing
with the dog, and Marianne is in the
kitchen, getting dinner ready"
This conversation was held between q
little girl about nine years, and the Baron
ST. Andres, an old man of eighty. He
was n knight of the order of st. Louis,
and had received his knighthood and in
siguia from the hands of Louis the Six
teenth, king of France. He was now,
however, quite blind, and consequently al
most helpless. Little Mary, child of
six years of age, made the third one of
the party.
"Julietta," resumed the old man, after
a short silence, "did your sister say any
thing to you when she went out9"
"Yes, grandpa" replied Julietta, "she
said to me, 'take care that little Mary
doesn't trouble grandpa, and, if he wish
cs to 60 into the garden, give him your
hand, and take care not to let him STUN
ble over anything, because he can't see,
poor grandpa, and God has given him to
us, his children, TO take care of him, and
to make him as happy as we can.' Oh,
l know it all by heart, grandpa, because
Adela tells it to me three times day
every time she goes out"
How every time she goes out. Does
she often 60 outl' asked the old man,
whose venerable brow seemed ruffled by
some painful thought.
"Three times day." answered JUL
eta, in some surprise; three times eve
ry day-once in the morning before you
come down, from seven to nine o'clock
another from eleven TO one; and the third
from three to five, when you are asleep.
You see, three times a day. Did you
think l could not reckon?"
"What o'clock is it now ~ asked the
Baron, rather with the hope Of finding
some discrepancy in Julietta's reckoning.
"It struck one just now," Julietta an
swered. "And here comes Adela; l hear
the garden gate opening, and she is speak
ing to Mary and the dog. They have
gone to meet her."
In a few moments Adela entered. She
was a young and lovely girl; so young,
she seemed as if she had scarcely emerg-
ed from childhood, and yet so serious and
so thoughtful was the expression Of her
countenance that the premature cares OF
life had, as it were, blighted the flower Of
youth"
+" Adela," said the old man, in tone
so sad and serious that il brought the
quick color to the young girls face,
"whence come youG" And, stretching
forth his hand, he seized that Of Adela,
which she extended towards him, took il
between both his own, gently stroked it,
and at last said, in mournful manner,
"you are agitated, my child; you trem'
BILE; you arc troubled. Whence come
you"
The young girl did not reply.
Obtaining no answer, the Baron St.
Andres continued, and the slow, solemn
accent with which he uttered each word
showed the sad feelings of his heart:
ain 1914 l was a widower, Adela
and of all my numerous family only one
was left me, my sainted daughter Henri
eta, your mother.
