A College Anecdote.

A correspondent of the Troy Wing, writing
from Middlebury, Vermont, gets off the follow
ing good burlesque of the shallow metaphysics
and mummery of most modern colleges
You have published the anecdote of a col
iege student who kept barrel OF ale in his
room for the benefit of his health, and who
thought it much improved from the ease with
which he could lift the barrel in comparison
with that operation on his first using the medi-
cine; there is another anecdote of the same
person which has not appeared in print. 1t
was the custom at the college where this gen.
tleman attended, for the professors to put to
the class miscellaneous questions, which they
were expected to answer off hand. On one Of
these occasions the professor turned to our
hero and asked him the following:
"TO which. sir, does the united voice of all
antiquity ascribe the seniority, poetry or prose?'
The student rose with the utmost gravity,
and turning to the large crowd assembled said:
Gentlemen. the learned professor asks me
10 which does the united voice Of all antiquity
ascribe the seniority. poetry or prose? | would
say in answer to the question, to which does
the voice Of all antiquity ascrbe the seniority,
poetry or prose, that l have not the remotest
idea TO which it does ascribe the seniority, and
furthermore don't care a straw
The student took bis seat, amid, not the
laughter, but wild. demoniacal shrieks of the
class. Even the sober professor could not re
strain himself But discipline must be enforc
ed, and our hero was summoned to appear be-
fore the President. As he was not unused to
summouSes of that nature, he sauntered leisure
IL 10 the executive mansion and confronted the
Head Of the Faculty. This awful parsonage
charged him with the crime of impertnence in
the class, and asked him what he had to say
for himself The student made long speech
in exculpation, the groundwork of which was
That from his earliest years he had possessed
great love for the truth. which compelled
him to speak it on all occasions. That when
asked the question, to which the united voice
of all antiquity ascribed the seniority, poetry
or prose, be felt that he didn't know or care a
straw ard such was his regard for truth, that
be had to say it right ont.

An Anec;lote of the President,

The Chaplain of Massachusetts, regis
ment, in letter to the Boston Journal,
tells this aDecdote OF tie President
On Monday morning, after call with
Senator Clark upon Secretary Stanton,
who showed US the military dispatches from
our generals, whose glad tidiDgs are now
ringing through the country, we proceeded
to the Presidents mansion, and were so
fortunate as to find the President at home
and not specially engaged. He was in high
good humor, as result of the glad intelli-
gence OF our military success, for which no
man has labored more efficiently 10 cabinet
or in council than himself. He tod two or
three capital stories. Speaking of those
good people who wish freedom and intelli.
gence to spread through the benighted
South, BIT deplore war as an instrument
and groan over the din and clash of arms,
and are appalled, by the thunder of the cam
ed him of prayer by very polite and
genie minister, of somewhat sensitive and
timld nerves, d0ringa terrific thunder storm
at night. The good man was delighted with
the occasional flashes of light, but shocked
by the tumut made by the artillery of
heaven. 80 Lord" prayed our worthy
divine, ''if it is perfectly convenient, please
give US little more light without so much
noise about it." Said the President, "The
Lord don't answer such prayers, the air will
not be pacifed without the storm, and the
lightning won't come without the thunder"
l told Mr.. Lincoln how much my soldier
boys thought OF him since his visit among
US, and the sick whom l visited in the hos
pitfalls, and whom be too had visited at the
Fortress. "They would have sent their
love to Uncle Abe" l said, chad they
known was going to see you. They all
call you Uncle Ace, the best proof of their
regard" 'I'hey don't love me more than l
do them he answered. "Be sure and give
my best love to them, and tell them l won't
forget them"

Wendell Phillips Again.

Wendell Phillips has been making auoth
er Of bis wild harangues He said in o
Fourth of July speech:
The Government wants three hundred thou
sand men We must say to him, ''you cannot
have 4 man or a dollar. until You proclaim
policy"
Jefferson Davis does less to break up this
Union with Ills armies than Lincoln in his inf
deity and delay to proclaim emancipation.
Fourteen months, till today, we have sup.
ported the Government with our whole moral
influence. The news goes to Europe today
that we are defeated-that the North is stand.
ing at bay, unequal to the contest. How soon,
then. will Europe interfere? If the Union is
saved. John Ericsson has saved it. If Con.
gress can do nothing more than it has, we
should thank God if Cromwell appeared.
1t is fortunate that these crazy sayings
have few endorsers. "a policy" as Mr..
Phillips sees it, is nothing but proclama-
ton of universal emancipation. The Pres
ident has policy. 1t is to carry on the
war for the Union, 10 which alone there can
be peace. After listening to the abuse
heaped upon the President by Mr.. Vallan-
bingham, it is rather refreshing to see Phil.
ips doing the same thing. Mr.. Phillips
cry for Cromwell to put an end to Con-
gress strongly suggests the possibility that
Congress has been doing we'll in some par
ticular.

Pecuniary Inducements to Volunteers

We know of no better service which can
be rendered to the country by those who
are unable to enter the army themselves,
than the use of all their influence to induce
the speedy filling up of our Sixth Regiment.
In the way of bounty, advance pay, &C.,
the Government has been exceedingly lib
eral. By recent orders of the War De-
partment, every new volunteer will receive
an amount of money sufficient to supply the
immediate wants of those be may leave be-
hind dependent upon him. Here is what is
offered to those who enlist to fill the regi.
ments already in the field:
LIST. For every accepted volunteer to join
regiment IN the field, a premium of three dolia,
will be paid.
I'd. Every such volunteer will receive upon
his enlistment and before he leaves the State,
t,oenty tfue dollars, part of the 500 bounty.
Sd. Every such volunteer, upon joining his
regiment, will receive further, one months pay
(sl3) in advance.
Here is what is offered to those who en-
list in companies for the Sixth Regiment:
LIST. For every accepted volunteer for ne,o
regiment, premium of t,OO dollars will be
paid.
I'd. Every such volunteer will receive, upon
the mastering of his company into the service
of the United States, before he leaves the
State, the sum of thirteen dollars (being one
months pay in adrancs), and the further sun,
of Twenty-Five dollars (beipg one.fourth of the
500 bounty in advance, making together the
sum of $3S.
We have said that this is sufficient for the
immediate wants of a family that may be
left behind, but something more should be
done. There are hundreds and thousands in
the State who cannot leave their business to
go into the army, but they can make that
business support the family of some brave
man who is willing to go, if he can be ass
sured that his family will be comfortable
during bis absence. Those who have the
means must not hold back in this emer-
gency, but epdeavor, in every possible man.
ner, to smooth the way for those who
otherwise II ght not see how to leave the
duties and cares of home. Double, if ne.
cessary, the bounty offered by the govern
ment, where single man can be found who
will not otherwise enter the service; and
assure every married man that bis family
shall have support, ana our quota will be
filed in month.

Governor Ramsey.

There were rumors on the street Wednes-
day that Governor RAMSEY had been cap
tured with the Third Regiment at Muir
freesboro'. There is nothing in the news
received by telegraph to confirm such ru.
NOR, and very little reason to believe the
Governor was anywhere near the Third
Regiment at the time it was attacked by
the rebels.
Letters were received from Governor
RAMSEY, day before yesterday, mailed at
Corinth the 7th instant, stating he would
leave that day having visited all the troops
within his reach from that place, without
mentioning in which direction be would
travel, but as he desired to have his
letters sent to Washington, the superstition
is be took the most direct ronte to that city
with the intention probably of visiting the
Third Regiment on his return.
