This young man had been Il clerk in his

disease which terminated his life, which he
met with perfect consciousness of his APP

was a noble youth: full OF generous impulses
and high aspirations: afiectionatc in DISPOSE
ton. lutiful to his parents and beloved by all
who knew him. Ills only expression Of re-

WIIISkEI.

The Hastings Court Of this city has incurred
Il grave rcsponsibility-wc should rather say
has comulittcd great public crimc--in IL
ccnsng such multitudes Of drinking shops
whose poisonous whiskcy is sold TO the sol
dicrs No day passes without disgraccful
scenes Of intoXication on our streets. And
what is worst Of all, these Internal dcns are
found clustered about the hospitals and
sick and wounded soldiers, when they are
convalc>ccnt the very men who ought TO be
relied upon i'll great part for defence Of the
city, arc tempted by the facilities for procur-
ing the drusgcd abomnation, which not only
ruins their own health and rctards their re-
coverv. but makes them useless burdens in
stead Of strength and protection to the COM
munity.
1t seems there is no power anywhere to
stop this vcnOmouS traffic tho llustinsS Court
choose 10 curse us with it. There is law for
it, they say. And 50 tender and jealous was
our last Congress Of veSting in the President
Il power to proclaim martial law that the evil
is beyond his reach. No power can now he
brought to bear upon this nuisance, except
the power of public opinion; and Of this the
gentlemen who compose the Hastings Court
have too little dread. Perhaps they will
lose more popularity than thay will gain by
the course they have taken; for, after all, the
safety Of society is q great and momcntdus
interest; and it is now imperlled by nothing
50 much as by infamous whiskcy.
Everything else is now smiling upon our
cause: yet if there is neither power in our
Executive nor public virtuc i'll our people,
sufficient to countcract and abatc' this one
evil, all may be lost. Richmond is soon to be
invaded by three times as many Yankee pri-
soncrs rs we have men Of fighting age in
Richmond; and the armed enemy may be at
our gates ut any moment. No city had ever
such urgent need of martial law as Richmond
has this dav; we arc all soldiers. or ought TO
be: no military camp in the world had ever
more necessity for the most stringent military
authority yet the civil law and the judges
iu>ist upon the right Of every soldier to rot
drunk.

MINcE Pies VS. TRACrs.-A good story
is related by German who was confined
in one of the hospitals at Nashville, WI, cb
proves conclusively that sick sold ,ers an
'preciate food for the stomach more than
food for the mind:
A rebel lady v;,,ted the ho,pital one
morning WIN II negro servant, who carried
large "-sket on his arm, covered with a
"h-.ee linen cloth. She approached our
German friend and accosted HIM thus :;
care you good Union man I" - ISL
dat" was the acanic reply of the Ger
man, at the same time casting hopeful
glance at the aforesaid basket, THAT is
all I wanted to know" replied the lady
and reckoning to the negro to follow, she
passed to the opposite side of the room,
where rebel soldier lay, and asked him
the same question, to which be promptly
replied, ''Not by a id sight" The la
| dy thereupon uncovered the basket and
laid out bottle of wine, mince pes, cake
and other delcaces, which We're greedily
devoured in the presence OF the Union
soldiers who felt somewhat indignant. On
the following morning, however, another
lady made her appearance with large
covered basket and she also accosted our
| German friend and desired to know if he
was Union man. II sh, by got; / No
,,are what you got; nese Union" fhe
lady then set her basket on the table, and
our German friend thought that the truth
awaited in this case If it did not tail in the
other. But imagine the length of the poor
fellows face when the lady uncovered the
basket and presented him with about a
bushel of tracts. Heshook his head dole
fully and said'l no read English, and, pc
side, dat rebel OH to oder side of tie house
need dem so more as me. The lady dis
trbuted them and left. Not long after
wards came another richly dressed lady,
who propounded the same question again
to our German friend. He gazed at the
basket apparently at loss for reply.
A length he answered her in Yankee
style, as follows: "By got You no get me
dis tme-vat got NIT de basket" The
lady required an unequivocal answer to her
question, and was about to move on, when
our German friend shouted out ''lf you
got tracts, bese Union, but If you got
mince pie, nit pound cake unt vine, ]
bese secesh lax te dibel."
