relates good joke ON himself which happened
during one of the holly contested battles below
Richmond. 1t appears the Doctor always endeay-
ored TO select building for hospital as near the
point where the battle ragged as possible On this
occasion no suitable building could be found, and
the shade Of large tree Was rcsortcd to. Upon
approaching the place. an old gentleman, in cit

Or. T., supposing him to be a straggler from one of
the regiments, demanded to know what lie WAS
doing there. The only reply made by the cid
gentleman was: II reckon there is room enough
for both Of The Doctor manifested some dis
pleasure at this very unsatisfactory reply, but pro-
ceeded Immediately to clear the ground for the
reception of wounded soldiers Presently cou-
rer rode up exclaiming, "Dispaches for General
Lee" The supposed stragSler Immediately arose
and received them. DIR. Palmer was astonished

important from Memphis.

The Memphis correspondent of the Charles
ton Courier, writing under the date Of the
27th of April, gives the following account Of
the Union sentiment in that place
The occupation of New Orleans, of course
opens the mouth of the Mississippi, and tede-
raj gunboats have already started up the
river in chase of one of our escaping stea-
mers. They are looked for in the vicinity of
Memphis within four days-a contingency
which your correspondent will sagaciously
anticipate by ''pegging out" A majority
ofthe residents of the city will remain and
take their chances under federal dominion.
Those most closely Unidentified with the
Southern cause have already gone, and by
the end of this week that sterling paper, the
Memphis Appeal, with its hive of workers,
will have followed in the wake. The Ava
lanchc still continues its publication in
Memphis. Confederate money is refused
here in dozens of places, and for small
articles it is impossible to make use of this
class of funds. Tennessee money is at pre-
MUM of from fifteen to twenty per cent
At Nashville it is selling at the same rate
Some of the merchants have closed their
stores rather than sell their goods for Con
fedcratc money, which they cannot use and
whenever it is accepted, the surplus OF each
is being invested in real estate, jewelry,
plate and diamonds Sugar has risen two
cents and a half Those who remain in
Memphis are the financial graybeards whose
property and pecmiary interests are at stake
and they have been first on the black list at
the approach of danger to sound the alarm,
produce panic, and discredit the success OF
the coniederacy.
A large portisn of the socalled "Home
Guardr are among those who will tender
their respects to the federal soldiery. The
ladies, as ever, are true as steel, together
with hundreds of brave men who cannot
leave; but, besides these, the fighting popu,
lation being largely represented in the field
few can be singled out with whom the al
mighty dollar is not vastly more conse-
auence than the interests Of the con
| federacy.

Ay, deem us proud for we are more
Than proud Of all our mighty dead
Proud of the bleak and rock bound shore
A crowned oppressor cannot tread.
Proud Of each rock and wood and glen,
OF every river lake, and plain;
Proud Of the calm and earnest men
Who claim the right and Will to reign.
Proud of the men who gave us birth,
Who battled with the stormy wave,
To sweep the red man from the earth,
And build their homes upon his grave.
Prond of the holy summer morn,
They traced in blood upon its sod
The rights Of freemen yet unborn,
Proud Of their language and their God.
Proud, that beneath our proudest dome,
And round the cottage-cradlcd hearth,
There is a welcome and a home
For every stricken race on earth.
Proud that yon slowly sinking sun
Saw drowning lips grow white in prayer,
Ger such brief acts of duty done
As honor gathers from despair.

pour out his tea or sakcc, removes the shell

chopsticks, separates the fish from the bones,
and prepares it for your plate; nay, even

pick up your food with two straight sticks,
laughing the while in pleasant way at
your clumsiness. The repast finished, tooth
picks come in on a salver-toothpicks of
scented sassafras or laurel woodland with
them little brasier of Goals, for lighting
pipes or cigars. The obliging damscl then

McCLELLAS's ADDRESS to his soldiers
who were in the Williamsburg fight, was
soul stirring to the brave fellows engaged
While chartered at Williamsburg, General
Mcclellan rode out on Wednesday, while the
troops were on dress parade. He rode along
the line of Hooker's division until he reach
cd the brigade in which the Fifth Wisconsin
regiment was drawn up, and near where l
was standing. Then raising his cap, he
pronounced in clear and sonorous tones the
following words:
MY lads, have come to thank you for
your gallant conduct the other day. By
your bravery and steady discipline you have
saved the day. You have gained honor for
the army, for yourselves, and for the States
which are proud to own you as their sons
You shall have Williamsburg embazoned
on your banners. You have stood by me
faithfully Continue to do so and your
grateful country will never forget you"
This stirring little speech called forth the
utmost enthusiasm. The whole army idoli-
zcs Mcclellan, and TO be thus complimented
by him was felt to be an honor indeed.

THE SouTH CAROLINA TRoops.--It has
been remarked during this war the very
State that caused the outbreak, and whose
dcmagogues clustered and Dragged the most
Justify as to what they were going TO do to the
Yankees" arc seldom heard of in any of
the bloody battles which have taken place.
They have generally taken good care of
Themselves whilst the Texans, the Mississip.
plans, the Lollisianians, the Georgians, Al
abamians, and even poor little Floridas
representatives, are found in almost every
battlc,-and the Virginians and North Car
olinians have been mainly left to bear the
brunt of the battles in their own States. 1t
was stated in intercepted private letters, from
rebels who were in the Bull Run battle. that
the South Carolinians were charged with
showing the white feather more than any
others engaged in that affair. Mr. Raymond,
on his visit to Williamsburg alludes to this
fact, in his notes on the sufferings of the re-
bel wounded. He says:
Nearly all the wounded with whom con-
vcrsed in hospital seemed to regret their con-
nection with the war, and many did not
hesitate to say they could have borne their
wounds better if received in q better cause.
Several from Mississippi said they had been
served right for coming so far to fight
their own brethren; and Others from Mary
land and Western Virginia, expressed the
greatest possible contempt and indignation
toward the South Carolina troops, whose
habit it was, they said, to do all the brag-
ging and shirk all the fighting. In not
single instance, they said, had South Car.
olina regiment ever borne the brunt of
battle; they always took good care to get
some other regiment in advance of them.-
These men said they were tired of fighting
the battles Of such State. The war had
ruined Virginia, and they had quite enough
of it.
