They found him feeding his cattle.
When he saw some Of them he ran to the
back of his barn others were posted be-
hind the barn, and, without hailing or
attempting to arrest him, one Of them shot
him through the neck, killing him in
stantly. His three little children who
saw it. ran to the house and told their
mother; she came out wrineing her
hands in anguish, and screaming with
terror and dismay.
The soldiers were sitting on the fence.
They laughed at her agony, and said they
had only killed damned Tory" The
murdered man was highly esteemed by
his neighbors, and was firm Union man.
In April last, two rebel soldiers named
Wood and Ingole went TO the house Of

Biackwoods Magazine for September con
tains description of the battle OF Gettysburg
by an English officer, in which occurs the fol-
lowing description Of the Confederate Com
mander in Chiei, General Lee
General Lee is almost without exception
the handsomest man Of his age | ever saw.
He is fifty-six years old, tall broad.shouldered,
very we'll made, well set up--a thorough sol

courteous and full Of dignity. He ia perfect

man has so few enemies, or is so universally
esteemed. Throughout the South all agree
ia pronouncing him to be as near perfection
as man can be. He has none Of the small
vices, such as smoking, drinking, chewing or
swearing, and his bitterest enemy never ac-
cused him of any of the greater ones He
generally wears a wel.worn long grey Jacket,
high black felt hat, and blue trowsers tuck
ed into his Wellington boots never saw
him carry arms; aud the only mark of his mil
itary rank is the three stars on his collar
He rides handsome horse, which is extreme.

his dress and person, and on the most ardu-
Gus marches he always looks smart and clean.
believe he has never slept in a house since
he has commanded the Virginia army and
invariably declines all offers of hospitality,
for fear the person offering it may afterwards
get into trouble for sheltering the rebel gen
eral. The relations between him and Long
street are quite touching-they are always
together, and Lee relies very much upon
Longstreets judgment 1t is impossible to
please Longstreet more than by praisng Lee.

bilious and as thoroughly unselRsh as any men
in the world Both long for successful ter

Gen. Lee is areligious man, though not so de-
monstrative in that respect as Jackson and
unlike his brother-in.arms, he is member OF
the Church of England. His only faults so
far as can learn, arise from his excessive
amablity.

The same game.

It is said, says the New York News,
that the Government employees at Wash
ington are to be sent in to that State to
vote at the approaching election. Rail
road tickets are to be issued for the round
trip at halfprice. Soldiers in hospital,
also, are to have flirloughs. The follow
ing order was issued from the office of the
Medical Director in Philadelphia. directed
to those in charge of the Federal hospitals
in that district
"Sir. You are directed, without delay, to
give ten days furlough, With free transporla,
ton home and back, 10 all soldiers OF New
York regiments under your charge. --- ----
Surgeon U. 5, A., Medical Director :
Everything in the hospitals was made to
vote for CuRrN in Pennsylvania. Now
the batch is to be sent forward to New
York, transportation at Government ex-
pense. II costs the public treasury some

that II .Ooo or $4,000 soldiers wsg being

How Nature Covers up Battle

Did | ever tell you, among the affecting lit
tie things one is always seeing in these stir
ring war times, how saw on the Bull Run

thrusiing up its graceful head through the
head of a Union drum, which doubtless sound
ed its last charge (or retreat, as the case NAV
have been in that battle, and cunning scar

planted Wasn't that peace growing out of

ever grow out OF the horrid and terrible things

vancing world Nature covers even the bat

and plenty soon spring up in the track of de-
vastating campaigns, and all things in nature

The Norwich Bulletin, an Administra-
ton paper, is getting its eyes open on the
negro policy of ABE LINCOLN. Whenever
few more of the delnded followers OF
Abolitionism, come to their senses, and
look at matters and things in the light OF
reason, justice and common sense, there
will begin to dawn some hope for the coun-
try. The Bulletin, which has heretofore
endorsed the NEGRO policy" Of the Gov
ernment, gives the following reasons why
it will "lail" 1t says
"There are a great many reasons why the
Administration will fail in its negro policy.
One of them is, that the slaves will not permit
themselves to be free. They are generally at
tached to their homes, and will not willingly
leave them At the commencement Of the
war it was supposed the slaves would abscond,
even if they did not revolt But they have
done neither-showing what we know TO be
true that they are generally happy and CON
tented where they are. when this cruel war
is over, no matter what the result may be,
it will be found that "the freedmen will seek
their old homes, and their old condition"
The bulletin never asserted greater
truth.

Abolition Graf BIOIes'' In the
Constitution.

The Hon. j. S, BLACK, in a late speech
in Philadelphia made the following apt IL
lustration, which is the more forcible at
the present time when the Abolition '.ralsn
are gnawing away at the Constitution ;
"The people of Holland live in country
where the land is several feet below the,
level of the sea. They protect themselves
against constant innundahon by large
earlhwork, which they call dyke, extend
ing all along the coast. What they are
most troubled with is a large species Of
rat, which burrows under and makes
holes through their dyke. Now, rat
hole is not very alarming thing in ITSELF
but the action of the water makes it lar
gerevery moment. it be neglected for
single night, by the time the morning
dawns the rat hole has widened into huge
crevasse, the ocean goes pouring through
it, and the whole land is laid under water.
SO it is with the Constitution, which is
our dyke. If the smallest breach is once
made in it, the eyer-toiling wave of arbi-
trary power which is continually surging
up against it, will constantly enlarge it,
until all protection for our rights is wash
ed away. tell you, gentlemen, if you
desire to save one remnant of your liber-
ties, you must watch the rat holes in your
Constitution"
