House,
When Archimedes proposed to move the,
world II tie then existing authorities would
give him place TO establish his fulcruua, It
doubtless astonishtd those old worthless some-
What; likewise, the Copernican system, and
the discovery of this continent. The missing
Pleiad Las perp1exed the astronomers for
ages. The mysterious manner in which the
milk gets into the interior Of tbs cocoanut,
however much it may refresh the weary trav-
eller, has sadly disturbed tbs meditations Of
the natural philosophers. Bnt 1t WIS reserved
for Hove I'M Sherman to inaugurate mys-
terry more startling than all these combined,
more inscrutable than the riddle eternally
being propounded by the stony lips Of the
Spbynx.
Appointment citizen informs Us that Il Hove
in'' when he commenced building the sher-
man House, told him he was going to build
''a subte7ranean passage in The attic" There
is no doubt that "Hove in'' built palatlal
house with m imposing exterior and an elab-
crate interior, but in the course Of "facilia-
ting' business, we are anxious to know how
Re got that underground passage into the attic
Can it be possible that he is concerned In the
Underground Ra1lroads If not, by what
architectural subttety, BY what delicate con-

most wonderful Of wonders. We want Light

saving .abor. hsn by standing sLoolde- to shout
der with in the ranks to receive the onset OF the
enemy. The fact is, where lead is flying around,
thick and fast, they can never be trusted; no de-
pendance can be placed on them; for this, if for no
other reason, we don't want regiment of them to
support battery, or to stand beside white reg
iment to receive charge.
l have not seen negroes returned to rebel mas
tiers, although such things may have been done.
should not be inclined to believe such had been the
case unless the report came from undoubted au'
thority; TO be sure, many times the masters OF
runaway slaves have come within our lines to hunt
for :heir property, bat do mol think the lost one
has ever been found, if found, that he has been
taken back to slavery again, without the master
furnishing undoubted proof of his loyalty. AS a
general thing, slave once within our lines is as
good as free. All reports to the contrary oughtto
be taken with several grains of allowance
AS TO placing guards on rebel property, quite a
good deal of complaining has been INDUCED in, by
the soldiers, while on march, but do not think
that our commanders would knowingly guard II
rebels property but the only test they make OF his
loyalty is to administer the oath to him, and this
is about all they can do. Thus very often loud
complaints are heard and our generals get many
hard curses, as the case at Holly Springs with
us. But generally had all the privileges wish.
ed, and think our boys did. Here in Memphis,
we have nothing to complain of on that score, and
the complainings when they do occur; occur only
on march, and although Gen. Sherman is tender
footed on the slavery question, he obeys orders
strictly, and in conformance with the contiscation
bill, lately passed, has issued an order stating how
the negroes coming within our lines, will be en-
ployed and cared for, &c
There is quite number of Kenosha people here,
Hessberg, who kept clothing store, at his old bu-
siness; Weyhe, who kept a grocery in the Bailey
building, is here with his nephew, and rents big
store. Fred. Benham, who had his horses and
-four burned at the time of the City Hotel fire, son
of A. w. Benham, and who was reported dead is
here, and is fiery Secessionist. Joslyn, the DaN
guerreotypist, is boarding in town also. Capt
Mars, of the lst Wis. Cavaly, was in town few
days ago, but did not see him. George johnson,
who has enlisted in Co A, e.. l.. A, arrived here
yesterday, and shal! go to see him before long
Have heard nothing about Mark Pease, except by
