SINGULAR INCIDENT,

Our correspondent T., writing from the
Ninth Army Corps, opposite Fredericksburg,
narrates the following, which occurred on
Christmas day, while the writer was out on
picket with his company:
After partaking ola Christmas dinner of
salt junk and hard tack, our attention was at
tracted by rebel picket who hailed US from
tie opposite side of the river:
:" say yank, ifa fellow goes over there
WILL you let him come back again 2"
( Receiving an affirmative answer he pro
ceeGed to test the truth of it by padding
himself across the river. He was decidedly

In answer to question, he said he belong

remarked, " met quite number of your

his face grew very sad. We left very many
OF our boys there. My brother, poor Will,
was killed there 1t was hot place for a
while, and we had to leave it in hurry :"
"That's SO, Georgia. your fellows fought
well there, and had all the advantage, but the
old Keystone boys were pressing yo u hard.
By tIe.way have likeness here (takiDg it
out df his pocket) that | picked up ON the
battle field the next morning and have car

who, on looking at it, pressed il to his lips :;

exhibited considerable emotion at the recoy-
cry of the picture, but on regainiug his com
posure he said, that his brother had it in his
possession and must have lost it in the fight
He then asked the name of the one to
whom he was indebted for the lost likeness

the frozen ground, to dream of other Christ

AFTER THE BATTLE.
BY VIRGINIA F. TOWNSEND.

1t was over at last. The sun, which had
walked slow and cain through the long hours
of that terrible day, had gone down in col
umn of fire beyond the western hills, and
now the stars were coming out swiftly, like
petals scattered all over an azure soil.
And the stars looked down on the battle
field, as they had come out and looked down
for scores Of years on the fair young land
which had arisen in her strength and beauty
until amid all the nations there was none to
compare with heron the great cities that
were hung like jewels on her green bosoms-
on the broad haruest fields that waved their
trcsses for JOY through her golden summers
on the houses where the dwellers thereof sat
peaceful and happy under their own vines and
fig trees-on all this had the stars which
came up night after night to the watch tow
ers Of the sky looked until at last there came
a change and now, where the harvest had
waved their locks in the summer winds, was
that most terrible sight which the sun and
stars ever beheld-the night Of a battlefield.
The conflict had ragged hot and terrible that
day.
The hearts of the dismal mountains had
shuddered with the thunder of cannons and
the earth drank in blood as in autumn she
drinks in the equlnoctial rains but at last
the days awful work was done, and the night
winds lifted the grey banners Of smoke from
the battlefield. a
The air was full of the heat and smell of
powder. The dead lay thick together, with
stark, CHASTITY faces, on trampled grass the
wounded lay thicker, filling the air VICE.
moans-riderless horses rushing terrified oF1
er the field; and the dying daylight of the
solemn stars watching over all. A little way
from the battle field was a small stream,
making blue fold in the dark grass, and
two men had crawled to its banks to quench
their thirst.
And when the two men crawled along the
bank. looked up and met each others faces,
they knew they were enemies, and they knew
too, that few hours ago. each had aimed his

which had drank the life-bIood OF each, and
each had glared desperately On his adversary
moment before he fell.
But there was no fierceness in the eyes of
those men Cow, as they sat face TO face on
the bank of the stream, the strife and the an
ger are all gone now, and they sat still and
looked at each other. At last one Of them
spoke:

sadness and recklessness. You did that last

WHY Is 1T DONE

Necessity is the mother of invention" The
more fully verified than that in the the case
of the present abolitionized Republican party
of the United States. Under the plea of ne
cessity, the deuH gained certain point, and
the Abolitonists of to day are endeavoripg,
by connecting the plea of necessity with the
idea of inrention, to accomplish politically
what Satan did morally.
For instance it was necessary for stu.
pid and venal Administration, to suppress
certain presses, which exposed its weakness,
and necessity and invention worked together
to accomplish the object. Necessity upon
the part of weak and totering administra-
ton, was the cause of the suspension of the
writ of HabeaS Corpus, and invention bro't
about the arrest of loyal citizens without law
or warrant. .o 1..... s- . .
Invention circulated Helpers Book and
other incendiary works. lnvention is now
forming Loyal Leagues; is stigmatizng all as
traitors who do not worship at the shrine OF
Abraham, and keeping up system ofespion-
age upon their neighbours words and acts.
The latest invention, however, of the friends
of this modern Belshazzar, is sending men
through the country, ostensbly engaged in
honest and honorable callings, such as Map
Agents, Insurance Agents, Horse and Cattle
purchasers, Fruit JPtee Agents, Colporteurs,
&c., but whose real object is to endeavor to
abolitionize the people. In some parts of the
State, this system is being practiced to some
friends, however, look out for them, as there
is no knowing what afrenzied set of ner
may do.

it was my conscientious belief, and it still re
mains unshaken, that if the controversy with
Texas could not be amcably adjusted, there
must, in all probability, be civil war and
bloodshed ; and in contemplation of such a
prospect, although VIC took it for granted
that no opposition could arise to the opposi-
ton of the United States that would not be
suppressed, it appeared of little consequence

But what of that ? | was not anxious about

In this vastly extended, though not generally

break out and bloodshed should ensue in that
quarter of the Union? That was enough for
me to inquire into and consider: and if the
