Personal.
Colonel Runkle, who was so severely
wounded in the battle of Pittsburg Land
ing, is on visit to his brother-in- law,
L. B. Thrift, Esq, in this place. It is a
little singular how he escaped death,
when we remember the character of his
wounds. We, however, feel glad that
a man of his nerve and courage escaped
the murderous fire of the rebels, and, al
though wounded, is spared by Providence
to command regiment of Union soldiers,
and to lead them in the charge against
the insurgents who are aiming blow at
constitutional liberty. The Col is fast
recovering from his wounds, and is now
engaged in the formation of the 18th
V. NJ, to the command of
which he has been appointed by Gov.
Todd. Any of the Wyandot boys who
may wish to enlist we advise to enro
themselves with the 45th, as they will find
in the Colonel gentleman and soldier.

The weekly Ottumwa courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1857-1872, 1862-11-15

On certain OCCASION during Wellington's
campaign on the Pyrennese, that Great
Captain" being displeascd with the disposi-
tons General Picton had made for receiving
the assault of Marshal Soult, who menaced
him in front, ordered the plan to be entirely
changed. but the difficulty was to delay the
attack of the French until the change could
be effected. This the Iron Duke accom-
plished in person, in the following manner.
Doffing his cooked hat and waving it in the
air, he rode furiously to the head ofa reci-
ment, as if about to order charge There
upon arose tremendous cheer from the men
which was taken up by corps after corps,
until it reverberated along the whole extent
OF Picton's line. As the roar died away.
Wellington was heard to remark, musngly,
as if addressing himself-"Soult is a skilful
but cautious commander, and will not attack
in force until he has ascertained the meaning
of those cheers. This will give time for the
sixth division to come up and we shall beat
him." 1t turned out as he antici ,ated -
Seult, naturally enough, supposed these tre-
mendous shouts announced the arrival or
large reinforcements, and did not attack un-
til too late. Had he struck at the right mo
ment he would have won an easy victory
as it was, he met with bloody repuise.-
This was strategy of genius, engcndered and
executed in the same moment. fh

Death Of Gen. o. Nj. Mitchell.

In the midst of the late political excite.
ment, the announcement came sfrom Beau
fort, South Carolina, that Gen. Mitchell, the
commander Of the Federal army in that
quarter, had died suddenly of yellow fever.
The intelligence falls with sadness upon
many hearts. So good and much loved an
officer can hardly be spared at the present
time,
Gen. Mitchell was born in Union county,
Kentucky, in 1919. Possessed of fine nat
ural talents, he, by his own unaided exer-
tons, qualified himself for entering the
West Point Military Academy, which he
entered in June, 1925, and graduated in 49,
29. As mathematician and astronomer
ne had gained worldwide reputation, and
held rank among the first men Of his dav in
the walks Of science, long before he was
known as a'soldier.
On the breaking out Of the present war he
entered the service Of his country, and eve.
ry one will remember his brilliant services in
Tennessee and Northern Alabama last
spring, which, had they been properly fol-
lowed up by his then superiors in COM
mand. would have put a speedy end to the
war in that quarter. Some utterly ground
less charges were afterwards brought
against him, which caused his recall from
that important field of operations. Those
charges never took a tangible shape; but
the difficulty probably was that he had no
sympathy with secession, and no special re-
gard for shareholders and slavery. Finally
the command of our forces at Hilton Head
was assigned to him, where he labored with
his accustomed zeal until death terminated
his brilliant and beneficent career.

and the immense superiority in every re-
spect Of the moral and material forces of the
loyal States will make themselves felt and
respected. Yet little while, and the au-

BY its now revolted citizens, and the rebel

again be land Of peace, returning joyfully

Jerusalem Underground.

An account of Signor Pierotti's discoveries
in the subterranean topography of Jerusa-
lem has been published. Employed by the
pasha as an engineer, he has discovered that
the modern city ofJerusalem stands on sew.
eral layers of ruined masonry, the under
most of which, composed Of deeply bevelled
and enormous stones, he attributes to the
age of Solomon, the next to that Of Zoroba-
bel, the next to that Of Herod, the next to
that of Justinian, and so on till the times of
the Saracens and Crusaders. He has traced
series of conduits and sewers leading from
the ''dome of the rock, mosque standing
on the very site Of the altar Of sacrifice in
the Temple, to the valley Of Jehosaphat, by
means of which the priests were enabled to
flush the whole temple area with water, and
thus to carry off the blood and offal of the
sacrifices to the brook Kedron. The manner
Of his explorations was very interesting. He

Taxation and Economy.

The necessity for economy during the re-
mainder of the year, and the succeeding
year, has not occupied the attention of the
public mind as much AZ it should. Tits
generally supposed that although taxation
will be much larger than usual, yet the
amount Of money to be paid for taxes, will
be comparatively trifing. 1t should be re-
membered there are other reasons for econ.
cmy beside the fact that we must pay in
creased taxes. The price Of all articles Of
living has been increased enormously in
consequences of the war, and the person who
buys As much as usual must expect to ex.
pend larger amount Of money, and there
fore must need increased resources if he
would make his expenses keep within the
bounds of his income. Wages, however
have not increased. A man with an annual
salary of 81 900, who usually consumes it is
the course of the year, must.:expect that ifhe
provides Is much for himself and family as
in former seasons, it will cost him at least
80 per cent, more. and, consequently, as his
salary is not increased, he must diminish
his expenses 80 per cent, quantity 10 order
to mako them como within $1,000. This
will be true, notwithstanding the fact that
money 10 plenty. The plethora Of money is
mostly with business men who have realized
fortunes on the advance in merchandise this
season, not with the masses Of the people,
It is true that there ID . scarcity Of labor

bodied males being engaged in the army,
but this has not yet caused any increase in
price oflabor. II is evident that the masses
Of tho people will be desposed to eeonomize.
High prices also tend to check consump-
ton, for the simple reason that prices are
higher than usual. Even classes of people
who can afford to pay an advance, hesitate
in purchasing at An increased valuation.--
The merchants in the jobbing trade have
experienced the truth Of these statements in
their business this season. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that farmers have had . good
year, and large amo ants Of money have
been expended for Government wants, the
trade Of the season has not been - largo a

ton to economic. Az time progresses,
this economical disposition will increase.
We are not yet feeling greatly the cost Of
the war. Before another seasons trade
commences we will realize moro severely
what it is to b taxed and in ths.msantims
many articles of living and of clothing wear
will be dearer. These considerations should
particularly influence importers Of foreign
goods. The consumption Of dry goods At
an advance Of so . cent. over old prices,
caused by the advance in cotton and high
rates Of exchange, must be much less than

Where summers fingers open, fold after fold.

The leaves OF gold.
The ioftiest hill--the ,owliest, towering herb
The fairest fruit Of sea son and OF Cline
All wears alike the mood Of the superb
Autumnal time.
Now nature pours her last and nobiest wine!
Like some Bacchsnts beside the singing stream
Reclines the enchanted day, wrapt In divine
Lmpassioned dreams.
But where the painted leaves see falling fast
Among the wales beyond the fsFthest hill,
There sits Q shadow--dim, and sad, and vast
And fingers still.
And stlil we hear voice among the hills
A voice that mourns among the haunted woods,
And with the mystery of Its sorrow nlls
The solitude. .
For while gay autumn gilds the fruit and leaf,
And doth her fairest festal garments wear,
Lo Time all noiseless, in his mighty sheaf
Binds up the year.
The mighty sheaf which never Is unbound!
The reaper whom our souls beseech In valnl
The loved lost years that never may be found.
