him there about our public men was whe
Their he knew or had ever seen the Gel
ebrated American Chemist DR.. j. c.
Aver, Of Lowell. His remedies are found
in every village from the elevated slopes
of the Andes down to the coast, and their
remarkable cures seem to attract even
more attention there than in this country.
The sentiment of wonder at their eff.

does with us where the rationale of med

Colonel Berdan has in his regiment no man
who cannot kill an enemy with at least two out
of every three shots, at the distance of quar-
ter of mile. These are the men who are
teaching the rebels severe lesson before York

off every man from a battery of light artillery
in one minute, at a distance of nearly half a
mile.
How extraordinary such craftsmanship is we

A DYING SOLDIER PRlYs FOR THE PREsI-
DENT.-Never until we stood by the grave of
the Green Mountain boys did we realize
how much stranger is truth than fiction. Your
readers will all remember last summer private
was courtmartialed for sleeping on his post out
near Chain Bridge on the Upper Potomac.
He was convicted; his sentence was death /;
the finding was approved of by the general and
the day fixed for his execution. He was
youth of more than ordinary intelligence !;
he did not beg for pardon, but was willing to
meet his tate. The time drew near the stern
necessity of war required that example should
be made of some one his was an aggravated
case. But the case reached the ears of the
president; he resolved to save him he signed
pardon and sent it OUT the day came. "Sup-
pose," thought the president "my pardon has
not reached him." The telegraph was called
into requsition; an answer did not come
promptly. Bring up my carriage" he ordered.
1t came, and soon the important state papers
were dropped, and through the hot broiling and
dusty roads he rode to the camp, about ten
miles, and saw that the soldier was saved.
He has doubtless forgotten the incident, but
the soldier did not. When the Sd Vermont
charged upon the rifle pits, the enemy poured
Il voIley upon them. The first man who fell,
with six bullet, in his body, was VIM. Scott, of
company X. His comrades caught him up, and
as his life blood ebbed away, he raised to heav-
en-, amid the din of war, the cries of the dying,
and the shouts of the enemy, prayer for the
president, and as he died he remarked to his
comrade that he had shown he was no coward
and not afraid to die. He was inferred, in the
presence of his regiment, in little grove about
two miles to the rear of the rebel fort, in the
center of group of holly and vines few
cherry trees. in full bloom are scattered around
the edge. In digging his grave, skull and
homes were found, and metal buttons, showing
that the identical spot had bsen used in the
revolutionary war for our fathers who fell in the
same cause The chaplain narrated the circum-
stance to the boys, who stood around with un-
covered heads. He prayed for the president
and paid the most glowing tribute to his noble
heart we ever heard. The tears started in their
eyes as the clods of earth were thrown upon
him in his narrow grave where he lay sh touded
in his coat and blanket The men separated
in few minutes all were engaged in something
around the camp, as though nothing had hap
oened unusual but that scene will live upon
their memories while life lasts the calm look
of Scott's face, the seeming look of satisfaction
he felt, still fingered and could the president
have seen him he would have felt that his act
of mercy had been wisely bestowed But the
cannon's roar is to be heard towards Yorktown,
and we must be off to the scene.-Cor Phil.

CLIPPINGS FROM THE LOUISVILLE
JOURNAL,

In a double sense the flying and pillaging
rebels stop at nothing.
Wendell Phillips came out to learn some
thing about Western manners, and Cincinnati
gave him an egg sample.
1t is too bad Folks are getting to call the
Confederate armies the Con, ,fed-erate armies.
The rebel generals are great at strategy, but,
in learning their strategic movements, they
must have gone to school to crab.
The rebels like to fight On the tops of hills
and mountains, for then they can easily slope.
The rebels troops generally are not sound
upon the bayonet question. They won't come
to the point.
We are constantly complimcnting the rebels
with balls, and Oh how nimby the fellows dance
and skip.
We have some most formidable vessels und-
er the star-span5lel banner on the Mississippi
river. A good miny of the "weaker vessels
in our city sail under the rebel flag
Gov. Rector or Rtctum (or some such name, J
of Arkansas, calls upon the whole people of
that State to take up arms in the rebellion.
The Memphis Appeal says that we have no
way to measure the strength of the confederate
defences on the Mississippi. We must have
them measured by the Foote.
The rebels needn't issue any more procama-
tons for the enlistment of cripples. If their
army will only stand, we shall soon make more
cripples in it than they can take care Of
The rebels no doubt are badly off now, in
respect to their commissary departments but
when our Foote shall have full sway among
them, they will have an abundance of we'll can
vassed hams.
We hear great deal about the wretched
cond tiol of the Southern troops, and no doubt
'ts all true, but yet, whenever our forces come
upon rebel stronghold, they are very sure to
find the rebels ceH off,
The Norfolk Day Book says that, when the
Merrmac goes out, she twill carry every thing
before her if.' Sc. Let her go out with an
"if" and the Monitor may dispose of her with
a but.
We learn from those who have seen the reb-
ell troops that they seem very vain of their
shirt-tails. Almost every man of them makes
large display of that beautiful decoration
displays it flying straight out behind him.
Mr.. Sinms, of Kentucky, has damaged the
rebel cause by his foolshly violent speeches in
the rebel Congress. The rebels would do them
selves favor by putting catapasm upon his
mouth-thus effectually closing up Simms'
hole
They say that the secession ladies are shock
ingy bitter. We suspect they are; at an rate
we wouldn't have one of them touch our lips
for the world. We shouldn't expect to get the
bitter out of our mouth for a month.
We cannot be expected, while attempting the
full discharge of our duty to the country, to
give attention to the insects of the rebel press
that are buzzing around us and alighting when
they dare. We sometimes think it almost a
pity that man isn't furnished with caudal
appendage like an OK, so that while his hands
are busy with their proper work he might brush
the flies away with his tail.
