are sorry to learn that the audience was small,
so much so that, after giving some specimens Of

he will have such house as an entertainment

A Fast Age.

The present has been lenomnated an age of
fast living The introduction of steam power
has greatly augmented the facilities for travel
and thereby to great extent annihilated time
and space. The present use Of the magnetic
telegraph, has we'll nigh brought the ends
of the earth within speaking distance and all
this seems to be outlone by the rapid change
being effected by the present civil war. The
Christian Inquirer thus discusses the rapid
change Of opinion going on in this county
through influence Of the war;
These arc not only the times which try
mems souls, but which try institutions. schools
Of thought, socts in religion, faiths, creoels par.
ties, and principles All that is in America
is east into the crucbe. Many things before
unhnown are coming to light. Rapid conycr.
sions are taking place. Preiudices that have
grown with the growth aud strengthened with
the strength OF our country are wrenched
away. The tremendous plougbshare of war
has turned up the very foundations of South
ern society. Young America is on his trav.
els. A million bright keen eyes are marching
down to look into the matter of secession, and
the cause Of secession. And the diff of sen.
timcnt is all one way. We see nobody return
ing from this searching iuquisition who is suf-
iiciently compos me'tiS to put two and two
together, who is prepared to resist the verdict
OF the civilized world, and uphold the cause
of human bondage. The work of years is
LOW done in day. What we anticipated
would require the strain and tug of half
century of hard incubation, is now compress.
ed into months of swift inspiration. For they
who have felt the rebel steel, and laogushed
IN the rebel prisons, or suffered in any way
in the war, are wonderfully quickcned in their
appreciation oil the structure and spirit of
rebel society. Something Of the rapidity of
steam, caIoric, electricity. and light, seems to
be infused into our usually slow mental and
moral processes"

Both women raised their eyes at the

memory-the picture of those two women
looking into each others eyes-the express

She clasped her babe to her breast, and

of sweet Mercy, that she would visit Mary.
She was 10th to comply at first being conl-

that she alone could hope to rouse Mary from

From Berdan's Sharpshooters.
CAMP BEFoRE YORKTOWN, May 4, l86

EDITOR FREEMAN Last night the rebels
were at Yorktown, MAXIM good deal Of
noise, too, and this morning they were missing.
Our pockets were posted yesterday as usual, and
the rebels kept up constant fire from their
works with shot or shells till about eleven
clock at night, when the firing gradually
ceased, and it was unusually still the rest of the
night. Early in the morning three men We're
seen coming from the rebel works bearing a
white flag they We're allowed 70 approach our
pickcs. They informed us that the place had
been evacuated during the night, and that they
had managed to secreve themselves and remain
behind. Tina, patton OF the pickets compris-
ing the Sharp-shooters were then dcployeu as

had refused to fight. Some North Carolina and
some South Carolina troops, also, had refused
to do duty. They had heard, also, that the
Mcrrimac was sunk or blown up, when they
were daily expecting her to come up to help
them So, on the whole. they thought they
had better skeedaddle while they could. This
person also told our men that the ground all
sbout the works was mined with torpedoes,
shells, &c 80 that they would explode on being
trodden. He showed where many of those
were, but with all the caution that could be
used, there have been some eight or ten killed
or wounded to-day by these devilish contrivances,
but we have guard stationed now to keep the
men away from them.
