Ia the Eastern part of Ohio, there
resides man named Brown, now
Justice of the Peace, and very sens'-
BILE man, but, by common consent, the
ueliest individual in the West-being
long, gaunt, sallow, and awry, with a
gait like kangaroo's. One day ne
was out hunting, aud, on one OF the
mountain roads, he met a man on loot
and alone, who was longer and gaunter,
by all odds, than himself He could
give the Squire so, and beat him.
Without saying word, Brown raiseo
his gun, and Deliberately leveled it at
the stranger. ;,
"For mercy's sake, don't shoot :
sh outed the man, in alarm.
oStranger, replied Brown, al swor<
10 years ago, that if ever met MAI
uslicr than / was, I'd shoot hlm, ans
YOU are the first one I've ever seen.
The stranger, after taken. careful
survey of his rival, replied:
aWeI, Captain, if [ look any wors
than you do, shoot. | don't want t.

party now disown the act; they call
him monomaniac, an insane man; but
when the telegraphic wires with light

that the village church bells to'led out

God, with few honorable exceptions,
prayed in their pulpits that the spirit
of the "departed saint mihgt rest in

d. Pender to the rank of Major General
His appointment to that position reach

came over ia body, and with the
combination of their several excellent
bands, to congratulate him in pleasant
serenade, to take leave of him as brigade
commander, in a speech, and to swear
renewed devotion to him~as MILITARY

Brevet Second Lieutenant of Artillery.
Shortly after, at his own request, he
was transferred to the cavalry service,

tenant he did serve outpost duty in
New Mexico, Oregon and California;
AT the beginning of the present revo-
luton. asd some twelve or sixteen
weeks before the secession of his native
State, he resi- gued his commission in
the old army, and hurrying from his
distant post, offered his services to ou:
provisional Government at Montgome-
Try. They were instantly acce pied, and
he was assigned for duty at the camp
of instruction at Raleigh, with the
rank of captain Of artillcy in the regu-
lar army. In this position he was We.

TIE Grand Jurors Of the Confederate

CT our people in this our day Of trial of
speculating in the accessories of life rs
Though not intended by many high
crime against the best interests of the Con-
federacy; as dangerous and destructive in
its effects, as the worst efforts of our enc
mics; and to AL intents giving aid and
comfort to the enemy; and thus assisting
them in their nefarious, wicked and cruel
war against us! Such conduct should be
frowned down by all patriots and honora-
bic men; and every friend of his country
should strive ia every way possible to arrest
this great evil we'll calculated to pro-
<uce discomfort among our brave soldiers
by fears OF the probable suffering of their
families, caused by enhancement in price
OF every article necessary for their support
we therefore pledge ourselves and call on
all good citizens to aid us to make every

country so much damage and to give to
our enemy the aid they desire

Gen. d. II. Hill, during last year 5

set forth the whole ohi ct and plan OF

military stores and provisions, besides
a great many wagons and horses, and
the artillery and small arms. Truly,
Lee has delivered a good blow, aud
Ewell has made and admirable start
as the successor of the great Jackson.
Passengers by the cars on yesterday
attested the substantial correctness of
the dispatch from Harrisonburg. It
was stated in Staunton that Major
Hawks. had telegraphed there, from
Winchester, not to send any more pro-
visions, as be had an abundance.
Milroy ESCAPED his fate. He put
himself at the head of a company of
cavalry aud fed for his life just ia
time to save his neck. 1t is reported
that he threatened Ewell to fire the

that he would hang the last man of
