A Rerelasion Of Life's Sorrosos.-At the
close of the regular proceedings in the May.
or's Court yesterday, q little bright-eysd girl
was brought in by Officer Gentry, and, being
placed before the bar, proceeded to relate .
short and simple story Of her wrongs. Her
name, she said, was McCauley, and that owing
to her mothers extreme cruelty and absolute
refusal to give her decent clothing, she had
been compelled to leave home and seek refuge
elsewhere. Officer Gentry added. that he found
her at the house Of Miss Randall, who had
given her the neat and comfortable garments
which she now wore, and had requested him
to bring the child to the Mayor, with view
to finding her suitable homo From some
further circumstances, il il surmised that this
little one has been treated - sort Of modern
Cinderella during her brief Psriod Of exist
ence, and the Mayor requested the policeman
to take her to the Orphan Asylum until some
method might Do found Of improving her con.
dition. There are mysteries in Richmond, -
well ~ in moro corrupt cities OF the great
world; but we are not enough Of . philoso-
pher to attempt their solution.

A Word Of Caution.

An order of the Secretary of War, datss
August Sth, is in these words:
''That all United States Narshals and su.
perintendents or chief of police OF any town
! city or district, be and they are hereby au.
! thorlzed and directed to arrest and imprison
any person or persons who may be engaged
by act, speech or writing, in dscouragjng
volunteer enlistments, or in any way giving
aid or comfort to the enemy, or in any other
disloyal practice against the United States: y
This order. in our opinion, is very compre-
hensve, 1t not only includes those who may
personally persuade young man not to en-
list, but also those, who in uuguardcd con-
versations, denounce the administration and
the war, stating that it is a war for the free
dom of negroes, &c. Also, any speech made
OF discouraging nature, that would have a
tendency to prevent cnlistments, and the edi-
torials and other articles in newspapers hav-
ing that bearing. weuld come under the
meaning and intent of that order. There
fore, we would advise all, who have a desire
to ventilatc their ideas on this subject, in OPP
position to the administration and the war.
hat it is just now a dangerous topic. The
administration is determined, that while it is
engaged in Sighting the enemy in front, it will
hield itself, as far as possible, against attacks
Il the rear. ..

A Spirited Letter from tic Gallant

The following letter from this BRAY.
Irish Colonel, is dated at Headquarters
New Creek, Va, Aug II, 1862. Camr
Commusky, Irish Brigade, Sth Army
Corps:
Ny Dear Father Dame by the
Chicago papers of to-day, notice your
promotion to the Uolonclcy.of the "Dun-
ne Legion" | bid you welcome to the
new vocation. | hail your conversion
from the breviary to the bayonct from
the canon law to the law of canuons :;
from taking heaven by violence" to ia
king towns by storm. 1t is mctc and
just. Your biography will need a stir

of this yale of tears :" this martyrdom
of parishes this lean look of Lent, how
splcnlidly will chapter read with the
caption, Trina Fi"'hque Cauo."

tics. Men a'c saved now days by the
doctrines of St. James, ''by fire. and
are brought TO the state of grace by the
"apostolic blows aud knocks" of Hudi-
bras. TO be priest according to the
Order OF Melchisedeck is great thing,
but to be Colonel according to the act
of Congress is, speaking mildly. "bully."
But, joking aside, have only mo
ment before going on dress parade |
seriously hope your good and patriotic
efforts to rouse Our countrymen to their
duty may be crowned with immediate
success Destroy this Government, and
what safety remains for ouc homes; what
houors in our history? In the past is the
memory of greatness; in the future, an
archy, self-contempt, and foreign scorn.
Rather dare all noe, preserve the Gov
eminent, vindicate its strength, and the
republic, passed through this crisis. will
stand with assured dignity and 6rmness,
through all the coming centuries, that
no foe without, no Judas within, shall
ever dare raise an armed hand against
her. And history shall place some of
this grand balance to the account of you
and your Legion. ..
How little, dear father, did we dream
in our student days. as We sat under
your professorship in the dear old hall
of St. Mary, thai these things should
come upon us. That We read of revolu-
tions, now we fght them | think of
those times often, amid the duties of
camps and the labors and dangers of the
march, with relish that lightens the
toll. Good bye. Success to the "Dun-
ne Legion. The Irish brigade of Null
ligan from tho fields of Virginia, bids it
God speed. recognize among tho Of
6cers many of my friends; give them my
best regards.
