1t was Sunday afternoon, about two
weeks since. we STOOD on the steps of the
Metropolitan Hotel, at Red Wing, Minnie

tcers, the pride Of Goodhue county. were
taking leave of kind and loved friends,
and leaving loved homes. to fight the bat
ties Of their coustry. The steamer lay
at the leyee, seeming to sob in unison
with the many wives and mothers who
were bidding perhaps last adieu to
many sons and husbands. Hundreds Of
people were gathcre there-the heavy
silence was broken only 10y Whispers
Tears coursed over many bronzed

a stout young man, in the very prime OF
life and muscle, the image of a rough but
kind hearted backwoodsman. shaking
hands With comrades and smiling on all.
Close beside us stood fair girl of about
eighteen her fresh cheeks and teary eyes
telling plainly that her heart was making
sacrifice. At last, with smile, the
Young man spoken of turned from his
comradss-waIked with firm step
toward where we stood as if 10 gather

lip treinbled Ike that of \ bate. As lie
took her hand, the tears started from tue
ewes of each. Down into the depths Of
her soul he looked, and the strong man
shook like leaf. With one arm around
her waist, the other hold of one of hers,
lie gently drew her to his heart; and
after one long and holy kiss, there came
from his whole heart as though wrung in
anguish the loved word Pet. Not an
other word. Not another kiss. Not an
O. her look. The two hands linked
seemed welded together--each turned
they had parted. He in sorrow walked
slowly on board with n heart of sobs
and anguish, with dewey eyes she turned
and walked back from the crowd. How
that loved kiss told Of welded hope
what an earnest Of love was that little
word-Pet. SO full and round, as it
came from the heart, who could heip cry
ing-who that saw, could help going
down with them into the waters of bit
terness. We could not. How we envied
thom their l6ve-how angelic seemed the
face of that good girl, though her dress
vas calico and her hands marked with
toll. Each had in their hearts that
which royalty might envy-love, pure,
and trusting. God grant that this
helhsh strife may soon be DER. and that
ere long he may return to her. not the full
ness of grief over his comrades return
without him. but the same noble heart
from the depths of which came that holy
word.

THE New SoLprERs-WHAT 1HEY
ARE TO pot is generally believed
that the troops now being recruited ~ the
Northen States will not be likely TO see
much fighting in the South before cold
weathcr-late in the faifor in the winter.
They will be sent to Maryland, Western
Virginia and other places where garrison
duty is pow being performed, and there
take the places of disciplined Regiments
now wanted in the field. If enoughfresh
troops were now ready to take the gar
risoned places not within reach OF rebels,
so that the whole of the disciplined force
could join the army in the field, there IS
no doubt Richmond would soon iail.
For the first six months that regiments
now recruiting are in the service, they
will have sort of holiday work to per
form and it is hoped that the rebellion may
be subdued without ever calling them to
the field indeed, many predict that 1t
will. Still the new recruits will receive
the pay and all the bounties incident to
the service, the same rs though they were
in the front rank and fighting the hottest
battles--if the war should end before
Christmas, the men who now enlist wo'd
make n good thing and most of them
would earn far better wages than they
could get Mt home, besides having an OPP
portunity to see something of the Border
States, The National Capital and soldier
life.

Previously to the attack on Purn ellis
Legion, at Warrenton, young woman,
who was about retiring to rest in house
near by, heard the rebel cavalry advan-
cling. Looking out of the window she
saw and recognized the enemy. Hastily
extineuishing the light, she went cautious
" down stairs and secreted herself among
tho bushes, intending, when favorable
moment arrived, to warn our troops OF
the enemy's approach but was unable to
do so, as portion of the cavalry rode
between her and the Union troops for the
purpose of euttlug off and capturing a
wagon train. One of the officers, mount
ed on a splendid horse, dismounted near
where she was, and walked a few yards
in the direction of his men, many Of
whom were also dismounted, securing
their prisoners. The horse quietly COM
menced grazing in the direction OF where
she was, and when he came within a few
feet of her, she stepped from her hiding
place, and taking hold of the bride, qul-
city drew it into the woods, when mount
inc it, she rode off unpursued by the en-
envy. Yesterday and to-day she was
riding around the camps in this neighbor-
hood upon her prize, which, With its
splendid accoutrements was the admira-
