 .Shortly afer entering the State, we passed the vast plantation of the Secession General, @<' " @AhSAf AVAISuOHS 1lOuS tnO Aosu sAoA miles. The mansion was utterly deserted, and al! the furniture removed. A perfect host of negroes came down to see and to welcome us. They laaghed, they sang, they danced in their glee. l stopped g moment to converse with ihen. By golly,' said g fine looking, honest young negro, 'rse great notion to go along with this crowdl What do you say, Massa ? My poor friend,' replied, if you do, you will probably be turned out of our lines at the first place we encamp; somebody who claims you will come and take you back and then. besides being severely punished for running away, you will in every respect be worse, off than before The negro understood me. . It is very hard, massa, said he. His voice faltered; saw that t.ars were gathering in his eyes. and l rode away, as my own were growing moist and dim.

There was 2 perceptible tremor in the officers voice as he repeated the command to the negro, and saw that a tear was stealing down the cheek of rough dragoon, who sat up- on a seat just opposite to me-" ysyr .vDes

 MILITARY Wlr.-A regiment on picket duty in front of Yorktown was hailed by a rebel of an inquiring turn of mind, as follows: {" What regiment is that ?" The One Hundred and Fourth Rhode Island" was the prompt. reply. Following the eexamps of their gallant Govern orsno doubt, every man, woman and child in Rhode Island is ready to join a regiment, but they are not all in the field yet. @ '+>~-.
 That the American people are appreciative of any substantial service rendered them, is seen iu the result of Dr.. Ayers enterprise. IL was something of a venture for chemist of his splendid reputation among the literat of the world, to risk it in the production of Cough Drops and Pills. But he boldly threw himself into the gap where hts talents could best sub serve the public veal, and it is now easy to see that he did not msjudge the temper ofhis country men.
