He HUMAN EYE.-I0e language OF the
eye is very hard to counterfeit. You can
read in the eyes of your companion, while
you talk, whether your argument hits him,
though his tongue will not confess it.
There is look by which man shows he
going to say a good thing, and a look
when he has said it. Vain and forgotten
are all the fine Offices of hospitality, if
there be no holiday in the eye. How
many furtive invitations are avowed by the
eye though dissembled by the lips. A
man comes away from company; he has
heard no important remark, but if in sym
pathy with the society. he is cognoscent of
such stream of life as has been flowing
to him through the eye. There are eyes
which give no more admission into them
than blue berries; others are liquid and
deep wells that men might fall into and
others are oppressive and deyouring, and
take too much notice. There are asking
eyes, and asserting eyes, and eyes full Of
fa'th-some Of good and some Of sinister
omen.-Emerson. lot 0as

A Cruel Deception.

A painful circumstance was related to u
yesterday. the accuracy of which we are able
to vouch for. A hard working laboripg man
who came to Geeopg about three years back
had by long toll, and dint of good thrift, saw
ed as much money as enabled him to remi
home a sufficient sum to send for his wife, q
very amiable and respectable woman, and hen
young child. This sum he ntrusted to a fol
low home townsmap, with instructions tc
hand it over to bis wife, at the same tina di

Of following out the instructions of his FRIEND
informed the woman that he had died of fever
in the hospital without leaving single penny.
Allowing a sufficient time to elapse, the conf
dant of the unfortunate mans dearest wishes
made overtures 10 the wife, and ultimately
by his diabolicai misrepresentation prevailed
upon her to marry him. The marriage had
not been consumated more than 2 months
when another acquaintance, arriving from Aus
tralia fell in with the woman and related t.
her, the anxiety of her husband, who would
by that time be expecting her arrival. Ter

Rebel Negro soldiers in Tennessee,

There is no longer doubt that the rebel
military authorities have conscripted the
negroes, slavo and free, largely into their arm
les. The Nashville Union states that during
the fight, near Franklin, on Thursday, the
battery in charge Of the s5th Indiana was
was attacked BY two rebel negro regiments.
Our artillerists double shotted their guns, cut
the black forces to pieces, and brought their
battery safely off. The unfortunate engage.
met near franklin fully confirmed the current
statements that one fourth Of Van Dorn's force
were negro s.ldiers. We have seen private
letter from an intelligent officer in Tennessee,
coDfirmatory Of the above. He writes that the
black battallons fought well, and that 10 their
bravery the rebels under Van Dorm owe thear
success in the struggle near Fraklin. He

Address of General Lee TO the
Rebel Army.

FREDERICK, July II.
The following general order Of General
R. E. Lee to the rebel army, issued from
Hagerstown on Saturday, was found when
Gen. Fitzpatrick entered the town on Sun
day morning:
General Orders No. 10.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY oE NORTHERN VA.,l
July IL, 1868.
After the long and trying marches, endured
with the fOrttude that has ever characterized
the soldiers of the Army of Northern Virginia,
you have penetrated to the country of our ene-
mics. and recalled to the defence Of their own
soil those who were engaged in the invasion of
ours. You have fought Il fierce and sanguinary
battle, which, if not attended with the success
that has hitherto crowned your efforts, wcs
marked by the same heroic spirit that has
commanded the respect of your enemies, the
gratitude of your country, and the admiration
of mankind.
Once more you are called upon again to
meet the enemy from whom you have torn so
many field names that will never die. Once
more the eyes of your cOuntrymen are turned
upon you, and again do wives and sisters, faith
ers and mothers, and helpless children, lean
for defence on your strong arms and brave
hearts. Let every soldier remember that OH
his courage and fidelity depends all that makes
life worth having, the freedom of his country,
the honor of his people. and the security OF his
home. Let each heart grow strong in the re-
membrance of our glorious past, and in the
thought of the inestimable blessings for which
we contend; and. invoking the assistance OF
that benign Power which has so .signally bles-
sed our former efforts, let us 60 forth in conf
dence to secure the peace and safety of our
country. Soldiers, your old enemy is before
YOU Win from him honor worthy OF your
right cause. worthy Of your comrades dead on
so many illustriOus fields.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT

If we are attacked, therefore, whether
on the march or in the camp, there is but
little danger of being taken at an odds,
or Of having many of our men killed. ,
There are strict rules against firing guns
by any person, either on the march or
about the camp, so that if a gun is fired
there is probability that it is notice of
the approach of the enemy. A few days
since company of Rangers that were on
duty flanking the left of the column, got
pretty close to three buffalo, one of which
they killed, but in doing so violated the
order against shooting.
When the camp was made, enquiry was
instituted as to the shot that was fired
during the march. The squad that fired
being examined reported that as they were
riding along on the line of their march,
suddenly three buffalo bulls raised the
brow Of hill in their vicinity, and so
frightened one of the horses that he
threw his rider, whereupon one of the bulls
rushed toward the PROSTATE trooper, and
would have gored and trampled him to
death, had not one of his comrades who
was good shot, raised his rifle and put
udll through Iue heart OI Cue eVlI-ulS-
posed bull, which arrested his progress,
and saved the un-mounted Ranger from
imminent peril. The bull being dead,
there was no order against dressing and
carrying away the meat, a portion of which
reached headquarters. The General took
some of the meat and the story in regard
to the manner and cause of its being
killed with reasonable proportion of salt,
and nothing more was said about the dis
charge Of the Rangers rifle.
A detachment leaves here on Monday,
going to Fort Abercrombie for some arti-
cles found deficient at Camp Pope. This
furnishes me an opportunity of forwarding
this, my first epistle. As often as mail
facilities occur l will endeavor to give
you some items.
Those sending letters or papers to their
friends with the expedition should send
them by way of Fort Abercrombie, as
that will be the only point- favored with
mail facilities with which direct comnuni-
caticn will be kept open. Please remem-
Der that papers may be sent through that
channel to

few slovenly soldiers who lounged around
the doorways smoking short black mines
and reading yellow covered novels The
view from the lookout at Fort Smelling is
one of the most picturesque in the world.

There is one thing about all these pretty
places around Saint Paul which strikes
one as uncommon for resorts of pleasure
travel. There is no one to ask you for a
quarter Of dollar at every turn. l can
not remember an instance of the kind ex-
cept at the suspension bridge which crosses
over to Saint Anthony, where we had to
pay for being admitted to the sandiest,
the deadest and the forlornest town on
the upper Mississippi That was nothing
to grumble at, though-only I thought if
you want to. build up place, you must
not charge folks for coming into it. Every
where else the way was free, and the
people meet strangers with pleasant and
hospitable look. Minneapolis is bright
young city, with an intensely Yankee ap-
pearance, even to the old-fashioned Qua
ker meeting house, with horse-shed and
all. Its great saw-mills and endless wa
ter powers will keep it growing with
resistless pace which Saint Paul must look
out shall not outstrip her. The mineral
springs are humbugs-as most mineral
springs are; though no one is privileged
to find fault with them, for it costs nobody
anything to 60 down a good stairway and
trouble their iron-tinctured waters.
At the Gave we found our friends the
bride and bridegroom. They made short
work of it. l think there is IN appear
ance about the sandstone roof of the con-
Germ which has an unpleasant foreboding
of tumbling down in an unguarded mo-
ment, and cutting off the elysian future
to which newly married persons have a
way of gazing forward. In our own
cases, having been married some years,
we explored it to its uttermost depths.
I mean to speak Of the Cave in no light
way. 1t is charmingly sylvan spot, with
its white domes and sparkling little river,
and tinkling waterfall. Whoever goes
to Saint Paul and does not visit it, loses
a great pleasure and misses a bright
memory.

This was followed by number of vol

considerable merriment was offered by

as follows:
"Our wives and sweet-hearts, absent but not

Your correspondent did not inquire
whether the gay Lieutenant offering the
above toast was married man, but judy
ing from the way he "came down" on
the sweet-hearts, I should say he was a
candidate for Hymenial pleasures. The
exercises of the evening were brought to a

been irregular, and has occasioned great
