To THE PeINr.-A few days since, a
presentation took place in Camp Morgan,
Buffalo. The recipient was an officer in
the 1l6th regiment, and the present a
splendid field glass worth about $50.
In making the presentation, the orator
said -
"There's that thing" =.
To which the surprised recipient re-
piled by rising, and after looking at the
present with admiring eye, exclaimine.
"Golly, amt it NICE.

Twice of soup is vulgar, but three

Such thing was never known, not even
at the Trinity Board, and Turtle is not
the slightest excuse for your pushing

- John W. Fornev thus writes to his
paper in relation to McClcllan's victor
les in Maryland:-
at is impossible for US to estimate
the results of the recent victory at
Sharpsburg. This we cannot know I'M
til we have learned from reliable sources
the condition of the rebel forces and the
effect of our triumph upon the political
condition of the Southern Confederacy.
l hear many persons denounce Mcclellan
for what they call his tardiness and inca
pacity in not capturing the rebel army,
or driving it into the Potomac River.
A charge like this may be speciously
and generally made, but, to me, it seems
to be extremely unjust. have watched
the last campaign of Gen. Mcclellan
with great interest. and on reviewing it
with calmness and candor, do not see.
how it is to be condemned, unless We are
disposed to condemn valor, energy, and
consummate military skill. To have Ia
ken the army of the Potomac, which
Pope had denounced for its demoraliza-
ton and inefficiency, marched it over the
greater part Of Maryland, fought the
most hoty contested and sangunary
battles of the war, defeated the combined
rebel armies, and driven them across the
Potomac, is to have accomplished one of
the most magnificent achievements Of
modern warfare"

est trees of Vermont, the beech and maple,
finding nothing but the everlasting oak.
We passed through several thriving vii
lagos, among which were Wheaton and
Batavia, but most of the small villages
about here have mean dirty look, which
in New England would be called decay,
but which here means thrift and money
making.
Our destination was a grove about a
mile this side of the city of Aurora, where
we arrived about IL, the cars stopping at
the grove. 1t would have made you smile
to see how quickly the cars belched out
the fifteen hundred" and how quickly
the said fifteen hundred skedadled and
were buried beneath the cool shadows of
the grove. The turf was smooth and
grassy, sloping down to the banks of the
Fox River, which here spreads out, as it
were, into miniature lake, but the con-
tinual crossing or fording of it by car
riages, was fatal to any attempt to imag-
in it to be deep enough for lake of any
respectability. Across the river the land
sloped up, back about mile, rising, per-
haps, three hundred feet. The entire
slope was covered with alternate woods
and fields and the fine residences glanced
out through the openings, making, on the
whole, a scene of beauty that can hardly
be surpassed.
The baskets and hampers were opened
and the contents you may be sure, suffer
ed some.
The afternoon, until 4 o'clock, was pass
ed in playing ball and other games, swing
ing and wandering about beneath the tall
trees and in having a lively or lazy
time generally, as the individual might
prefer. At four the cars took us back
city-ward where we arrived about hall
past six and the woods and fields were
things of the past, though we felt green
for day or two.
My next will be a politital effusion
and will come along as soon as | get time

LETTER FROM CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, June 81, 1862.

CHICAGO, June 81, 1862.
EDITOR OF NEwsDEALER :-Sometime
ago, availcd myself of the involuntary
advent of large but rather poorly select
ed assortment of Secesh, as topic upon
which to write you. The pretext of my
present epistle is to commemorate certain
Pic Mic Excursion in which festive oc-
casion participated.
At eight o'clock yesterday morning a
train of twenty-five cars, containing about
fifteen hundred excursionists, all bound
to have time, left Chicago for Aurora, a
city about forty miles west, containing
sine eight thousand inhabitants. Besides
the " fifteen hundred" the cars contained
diverse baskets and hampers of all sizes,
all plethoric with good things to eat; and
in short, every thing in the Pic Mic
line.
In one of the aforesaid cars might have
been seen gay and festive group, Of two
persons more or less, who to the best of
my knowledge, information and belief,
were glad they came"
The bell rang and away we went, and
soon had left the noise and dust and
smoke of the city far behind, while
before, the expanding glories and grand
eurs of the sweet fields and towering
praries, received us with open arms How
sweet to breathe the fresh, pure country
air once more, and to feel the winds watt
ing to us, not the choking dust of the
busy street, but the tender delicious fra
GRANGE of grass and trees and flowers !;
not the noise and confusion of the market
place, but the soothing voice of Nature
wooing us to herself, with her quiet spells
of loveliness and repose.
On our first escape from the city, we
found ourselves in the midst Of broad
level prairie, stretching away far as the
eye could reach, like vast sea of green,
waving in the wind. The broad expanse
was dotted here and there with herds of
grazing kline, and cottages and farm
houses, some protected and beautifed by
"a clump of sholtering oaks, but most stand
ing naked and alone, surrounded by none
of the evidences of thrift which are the
necessary appendage to New England
farm.
But soon theappearance of the country
began to change. Instead of the monot-
onous level, the prairie began to roll and
swell and lift itself up into great waves,
like the sea in storm, whose long ridges
were crested with green oak woods through
openings in which peered out white farm
houses standing on the high swells and
overlooking the country around.
Anon VIC plunged through shady for
ests, but we missed the old familiar for

little child,
little meek faced, quiet, village child
Sat singing by her cottage door at eve,
low. sweet, Sabbath song. No human ear
couobt the faint meody-No human eye
Reheld the upturned aspect or the smile
That wreathed her innocent lips the while they
breathed .s.
The oft.repeated burden of the hymn,
Praise God praise God J
A seraph by the Throne
In the full glory stood. With eager hand,
He smote the golden harpstrings, till food
Ofbarmony on the celestial air
Welled forth, unceasing. Then with great
voice,
He sang the Holy, Holy, evermore.
Lord God Almighty !" and the eternal courts
Thrilled with the rapture, and the herarchies,
Angel, and rapt archangel, throbbed and burned
With vehement alteration Higher yet
Rose the majestic anthem, without pause,
Higher, with rich magni6cence of sound,
To its full strength; and still the infinite heavens
Till trembling from excess of awe and love,
Each sceptered spirit sank before the Throne,
With mute hallelujah, But, even then,
While the ecstatic song was at its height,
Stole in an alien voice-a voice that seemed
To float, float upward from some world afar-
meek and child-like voice, faint, but how sweet!
That blended with the seraph's rushing strain
Even as fountains music, with the roll
Ofthe reverberate thunder Loving smiles
Lit up the beauty of each angels face
AT that new utterance. Smiles of joy that grew
More joyous yet, as ever and anon
Was heard the simple burden of the hymn
''Praisc God praise Godl" And when the SER
aph's song
Had reached its Close and DER the golden Tyre
Silence hung brooding-when the eternal courts
Rung but with echoes of his chant sublime,
Still, through the abysmal space, that wandering
voice .s f
Came floating upward from its world afar,
Still murmured sweet on the celestial air,

FROM THE CAVALRY REGIMENT.

Capt. Flint, writes to the Irasburgh
.Stndard, on the 18th ult., from which we
extract the following: i eag
We are again in Va, and encamped
about half mile out of the town of Win
chester. Four companies have been de-
tailed with 1t. Col. Kellogg to go to
Snickerville Gap, and Go. H" have also
been detailed away, but am not informed
where. The other five companies, includ-
ing company "I," are here with the Col.
Our Companies have been reduced since
we first entered the valley, greatly my
company numbers more effective men
than any Company, in the Regiment. l
left several men at Hagerstown, Md. who
will be discharged, and some who will
probably rejoin their Company. Among
the latter is Sergeant Mason, one Of our
very best soldiers.
am extremely happy to be able to re-
port to the friends of those missing from
the Company and the public, that Drew
and Maloney are on their way home, and
will probably reach there before this will.
They were saved by the exertions Of
the Widow Rhode where they were cap
tured. She was true to her pledge, that
81 she would save them," and is deserving
Of great credit. o, g..
The people of Middletown, where we
were so long stationed, went to every
place where were wounded Federal sol
diers and sought for members Of Compa
ny a." as deserving of their especial at
tention, for their manly and soldierly
conduct while in their town.
Miles was shot through the arm, taker
prisoner, and marched off to Dixie Hi
wound must have been very slight, els
they would have paroled him.
The prisoners were treated we'll ant
had every care possible from the rebels
soldiers and citizens. There might b
some exceptions in Winchester there j
but one thing which will purify this plac
and that IS fire.
