Revolutionary Anecdote.

We have often beard the following an.
ecdote related, but do not remember hav.
ing seen it in print. II it has been printed,
it will do to print again:
AT the battle of Yorktown, while Wash.
ington's aids were issuing their orders
along the line, man was discovered {
short distance from il, who presented 6
rather grotesque appearance, being
dressed in the coarse cloth worn at tha
time by the poorest class, with an ottel
cap, the shape OF which resembled the
steeple Of a Westinghouse, and broad
leather apron. His equipments consisted
Of small woodchuck's skin, sown to.
gether in the shape Of bag, and partly
filed with buckshot, an ox-horn filled
with powder, and an old rusty gun, which
measured seven feet eight inches from the
muzzle to the end Of the breech, and
which had probably lain ia the smoke
ever since the landing of the pilgrims
One Of the aids, passing him in the course
OF his rounds. inquired Of him to what reg
iment he belonged
II belong to no regiment" said th'
fellow, after discharging his musket.
A few moments after, the aid rode BY
again, and, seeing the fellow busy anc
sweating with exerlion, he again inquired
to what regiment he belonged.
"To no regiment" was the answer, al
the same time levelng his piece at red
coat who was preparing 10 fire, but who
dropped dead before he had half raised
his gun.
"To what company do you belong ?"
"To no company"
"To what battalion do you belong ?"
"To no battalion"
"Then where the devil do you belong,
or what are you lighting for ?"
"Dang ye," said the fellow, AZ dom:
belong anywhere--I am fighting on my
oWn hook 2"

Hamilton was once applied TO as counsel,
by a man having the guardianship Of sew

the coming Of age, succeed to Q large and
valuable estate. of which there was a ma

and The manner in which it happened, were
known only to the guardian. who wished
to employ Hamilton as counsel, to vest
himself in the title of the estate. He re-
lated the whole affair circumstantiaHy, and
was requested by his lawyer to call again
before he could venture TO give his advice
in namatter ofso much importance. On bis
second visit, Hamilton read over to him
the minutes Of their previous conversation
that he had reduced to writing, and asked
him il the statement was correct
On receiving an answer in the affirm

A White Nan in Slavery.

A Corinth correspondent OF the New
York Tribune writes the following:
TIE following account OF genuine
white man being held as slave, have
from the most authentic sources. A cer-
tain planters daughter in Mississippi was
seduced. To hide her shame, she gave
her child, a.girl, at its birth, to slave
woman, along with money to bring itup
as her own. The child lived and became
mistress Of the planters son, who suc-
ceeded 10 the estate. She had by him
FIVE children, and among them the man
refer 10, Charles GreysoI. This was in
Calhoun county, Mississippi, three miles
from Paris. The father was at one time
Clerk Of the Court. AT six years Of age
Charles was sold TO William Steen. iE the
neighborhood, and about this time bis
parentage was told him by his mother
He ran away, was captured, and treated
with great harshness. He was made to do
more work than the other slaves. The
object was 10 break him down. He
proved 10 be strong and able to bear all
The burdens put upon him.
On December 10th, 1852, the Sd Mich.
} igan Cavalry came into the vicinity
: Grayson then took horse and rode into
, their lines. He took good horse, so as
to ride fast. He was then employed as
: cook for the non commissioned officers Of
J Co. F, Capt. Theodore heese. Becoming
anxious about his future condition, he pro-
posed to go North. The above named
, officer, the Lieutenant Colonel, G.. Rod
/ gers, and several substantial citizens Of
5 Jackson, Tenn, as well as Generals high
0 in command, assisted him 10 carry out his
plan; and few days ago he passed
! through this place on his way to Cass
! County, Michigan.
{ He has been slave for seventeen years,
q is Eow twenty-three years Of age, has
straight, light hair, fair blue eyes, and a
, sandy beard ,and evidently is white man,
with no drop Of black blood in his veins.
e He has singular appearance. He is
/ totally ignorant. He knows little more
s than that he is white man. A negro
4 slave has a subdued, and yet at times a
o gay air. On the contrary, Charles Gray
/ son is continually a5ject. and gloomy
e He hardly knew how 10 thank the friends
!. who helped him to get his tickets he
o seemed almost cold 10 the friend, o
s native of Coston, who has done most
S This was the result of his long oppression,
4 which has made him suspicious Of every
: human being. In many respects his case
, resembles that Of Casper Hauser.

BRAVE BOYS ARR THEY.

BY HRNRv CLAY WORK.

BY HENRY CLAY WORK,
Heavily falls the rain,
Wild are tho breezes tonight,
But meath the roof, the hours, as they hy,
Are happy, and calm, and bright.
Gathering round our fresides,
Though IL be summer time,
We sit and talk oil brothers abroad,
Forgetting the midnight chime.
CHoRus'--Brave boys are theyl
Gone at their country's call,
And yet, and yet we cannot Jorge
That many brave boys must inll.
Under the homestead roof,
Nestled 80 cosy and warm,
While soldiers sleep with little or uaught
To shelter them from the storm,
Resting on grassy couches,
Pillowed on hillocks damp;
or martial fare how little we know,
Till brothers are In the camp.
Brave boys, &c.
Thinking no less Of them,
Loving our country the more.
We sent them forth to ight for the flag
Their fatheis before them bore.
Though the great teardrop started,
This was our parting :rust;
God bless you boysl we elcome you home
When rebels are in the dust.
Brave boys, &c.
Muy the bright wings Of love
Guard them wherever they roam;
The time has come when brothers must fight,
And sisters must pray at'home..
o the dread field Of battle!
Soon to be etrewn with graVes;
hbrothers must fall, they bury them where
Our banner in triumph waves.
Brave boys, &c.
