UNION AND REBEL SOLDIERS.

A Nashville correspondent of the New
York Tribune gives an account of meet
ing of Union soldiers and rebel prisoners
from Chattanooga, which adds another to
the frequently reported incidents'sugg
tive cf the facility with which friendly
relations will be renewed after the rebell-
ion is whipped out, and the good people
of the South come to the surface
Soon the trains come along side of each
other, and at first there was an evident
shyness on both sides, especially with the
prisoners-who rather shrunk back from
the gaze of the Union soldiers-but they
soon entered into conversation along the
line, mingled with laughter, which became
louder and more hearty, as We were wait
ing for one of the up-trains, which delay
ed us from one to two hours Joining a
crew where very earnest discussion was
taking place, found the rebel prisoners
and our men debating the most vital top
les of the day. They were discussing
the effects of slavery on the poorer class
es of the South; the difference between
the North and South in advancement, in
schools manufactures, &c. The sorest
point with these prisoners seemed to be
that the Abolitionists wanted to free the
negroes right among them and make them
equal to the whites This they never
would bear; if the negroes were all taken
away they would not care, sBut," said

be large number in the South who had

the war, but who had learned to do so
since. 'Oh, yes" they said, one good
thing about this war is that it will teach
many of the rich, lazy fellows how to

they never knew how to do before" As

The women and larger children walk

small children with the aged and

Mr. EDITOR Perhaps some of your
readers would like to know the sentiments
of the Canadians, concerning the troubles
in the United States at present.
As might be expected, both North and
South have each its sympathizers, ard it
would seem to me that the South has at
least as many as the North. This however,
like every thing else here at present. is
made political matter. The reform par
ty is generally favorable to the North.
The Toronto Globe, its organ, strongly
advocates northern principles The 9TH
or party-the Tories, or conservatives are
decidedly favorable to the South, and their
organ, the Toronto Louder, INDUCES in
all possible low venom toward the North !;
and attributes to the South. unheard-of
valor, bravery, virtue. and magnanimity.
The tories are the opposition party at
present, and they strive with all their
might by sensation stories of monster in
vasions of Canada by Northern troops ;
such stories as Darcy McGee has to faith
er lately, to stir up the hatred of the peo-
pie toward the North. They then hope
to make the party in power unpopular,
whose policy is not to burden young and

ever get into trouble with the States. it is

This is one way in which the hatred
of the less informed of the people is stirred
up against the North.
Another way is by direct contact with
,disaffected Americans from both North
and South.

called skedaddlers, those who deserted
from the army, and those who left for

STRAY SHOTS FROM A MASKED BAT.


. BY OLD GUNNER.
IN LOVE.
Because I'm old and very grey,
And past my manhood's prime,
Have seen the world and borne its cares,
And roughed it in my time m
Because I've sons and daughters, grown
To mans estate and wolnan's,
Don't think I've lost in full the fire
That warns you younger humans,
Please do not think do not like
A social glass of ale,
A pleasant chat with worthy friends,
A song, play, tale,
A sunny day, cooling shade,
The joyous laugh of childhood,
The low of herds, the song of birds
That warble in the wildwood.
All these and more, are still my joys
And that which warns your heart
Or makes it bleed, provokes my smile
Or makes the tear drops start:
Besides, I'm very deep in love;
A lady nearly fifty;
She's married, and her boys and girls
Are brave, and fair, and thrifty;
To me she's dearer far than all
The young and fair see
Her voice is music soft-her smile
Is very sweet to me;
Her many words and deeds of love
My memory has stored;
And naught can turn my heart from her
My WIFE--so long adored

DURABILITY OF TIMBER The piles
sustaining London bridge have been driv-
en- five hundred years. In 1915 they were
critically examined and found to have
been decayed but little; these piles are
principally of elm. Old Savory Palace,
in the city of London, is sustained on
piles driven six hundred and fifty years
ago they consist of oak, elm, beech and
chestnut, and are perfectly sound.s The
bridge built by the Emperor Trajan over
the Danube affords striking example Of
the durability of timber in the wet state.
One of these piles was taken up and
found to be petrefod to the depth Of three
quarters of an inch, and the rest Of the
wood had undergone no change, though
it had been driven sixteen hundred years.

Mr.. Emil SOhalk on the Last Operations OF
the RappahannOok, and the Causes
Of It's Failure,

THE Philadelphia Press (Admihistra-
ton paper) publishes the following letter
from Emil Schalk, with the following
reasons for so doing:
ave cannot refuse our columns to a
gentleman who has written two of the
most remarkable books of the time, and
whose conclusions-we might more aptly
say propheeies-in reference to this war
have given him a national reputation
For this reason We print Mr.. Emil Schalk's s
communication to us in reference to the
last campaign on the RappahannOck, al
though we find ourselves compelled to
differ with the distinguished writer, and
to protest against the general tone of his
reasoning, so far as it affects the eminent
gentleman at the head of our armies"
10 the Editor ofhe Press:
SIR When battles are fought in
which thousands and thousands of brave
soldiers are inundated, but which, not
withstanding the great sacrifice, do not
obtain an adequate result for the enor-
nous loss of life, is it then not the duty
of every friend of the country, to inquire
into the cause of the disasters which Gov
er a whole nation with mourning, and
which, in its history, remain dark spot
on its glory?
The late battle of Fredericksburg and
ChanoelloryiIle, with its hecatombs Of
human beings, may, like nearly all lost
battles of this war, be traced directly to
the mistakes of the General Command
ing, and it is but just that the whole
country should have a clear insight into
those mistakes, for it may be that thus
more errors in future will be avoided.
