The Chimney Corner.

The old chimney cornerl 1t is endcared 20
the heart from the earliest recollections
What stories toldl 1t was n place to
think 10, place to weep in, to laugh 10 and
much the coziest place in the house TO rest
IN. IL was there whero dear old grandma.
ma used to sit at her knitting warming her
p0br old rheumatic back against the warm
wAA; where grandpa used 10 fall asleep
over bis newspaper; where mamma used 10
place her spinning wheel, aud pare used to
sit there TO read, iB the grent arm char.
II was iherewhcre you used to read fairy
tales in yonr childhood, folded all so sung,
and warmed and cogy, in it's great warm
Iap. while the wind of winter whist.ed with
ont; Your tavcrite plBm coke was never
so sweet As when eaten there, aud the
stories ycu read by the sitting room Gre side
were never half so fascinating as those you
read in the chimney corner.
If you we're sad and went there 70. IL
ycu were. merry, you, with your brothers
and your sisters, nestled there to have right
merry time. Even puss ard the house dog
loved the old chimney cornerl Look back
20 the old house, where every nook is SO
foil OF pleasant recollections !; the family
sitting room, where we're so many happy
meetings, your owR chamber with its little
window, where the sun came pcepiug iD at

Yeu long TO be folded in iis faithful old
bosom again, ss you were in childhood, and
have good cry over all those Iast happy
times.
1t is desolats now The bright faces
that clustered there OF old will never come

Our Washington Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nav 2s. 1861

v NsA
To the Editor Of the Pioneer: 20 ~ ssssi
Washington is entirely military, and the
city is a camp, a fortress, and hospital.
Every second person you see is soldier.
A Gordon Of forts and intrenched camps
surrounds us, and just within the lines are
the hospitals and contraband camps.
Guards are stationed before every military
office, at the Presidents House, the Capt.
tol, the War and, Navy Departments, and
at every place of ingress or egress from the
city-at the wharves and the depot, and at
the bridges over the Potomac and East
ern Branch. .rtg I'M 90 39.1r .Q bro9E
From the Army of the Rappahannock
we hear nothing Nothing official has
been publ shed since the battle. Hooker
remains inactive, and an offensive move
ment from Lee is not improbable. yfAt
Chancellorville Hooker had al, 900 men,
Since that time he has lost 10000, and
by the first Of July he will have lost in alf'
as many more, by the expiration Of their
time of enlistment. His loss at Chancel-
lorville being nearly II, 200, he will have
only about $4,000 men to meet Lee, who
has never abandoned his favorite idea Of
an invasion of Union soil, which cost him
so dear at Antietam. 'G~ .s .iI;t. af
Notwithstanding the general loss of con-
fidence in Hooker, and the structures of
Emil Schalk, he is accused of drunkenness
at the late fight. But the chargeis as dis
tinctly denied, and the President will re-
tain him, and Halleck will be with him as
a military adviser" should any move
ment occur. 1t is known, however, that
at late council Seward, Blair and Upshur
were in favor of recalling Mcclellan.
Franklin, Rosecrans and Sickles are spo-
ken of as Rockers successor, if he is re-
moved. If we indulge all our Major Gen.
erals with the command of the Potomac
army, change had better be soon made,
as there are eighty more to try. aI
The reduction of Hooker's force from
casualty, and the mastering out of the nine
months and two years men renders the
draft a necessity. The Provost marshal
Generals Office here is fully organized and
forwarding the necessary blanks as fast as
they can be procured. Tho enrolment
will rapidly go forward, and before August
the ranks will again be full. Everything
relating to enlistment has, by recent Or
der been transferred to the Provost Mar
shall General. ........
Two colored regiments are being raised
here; one is full and partially on duty.
Others will be raised at once in Alexan-
dria and Baltimore. Grea. activity every
where prevails in raising African regi-
ments, and by July LIST, it is estimated
that $4,000 of them will be in the Union
ranks.
The recent successes of General Grant
have greatly astonished us here The CO.
lerity of movement evinced, was as unex-
pected as unusual; and we confidently
hope that Vicksburg will soon be ours,
and with it the Mississippi from its mouth
to its source. The rebellion in the West
once broken, the entire reduction of the
South will be but matter of time

TRAGICAL EVENT -FOOLISH INDIA
SCARE, ETC.

May 20, 1868.
10 the Editor Of the Pioneer: - ra .
Iregret to say an Indian reported last
night tina. his son was frightened by noise
like the barking of a fox in the woods, and
which story went round town like wild-tire,
the Halfbreeds believing the Sioux were
coming, and the citizens in many instances
thinking it was the Chippewas. Sentries
were posted along the streets and at the
entrances of the stockade, while some in
discreet persons went from house to house
alarming the inmates, who in numerous
instances came from upper town for safe
ty. Among them was fine young lad of
about fourteen, son Of Mr.. Scharr. When
short distance above the stockade, he
was challenged by soldier. The boy,
not knowing the meaning of such action
doubtless, drew back as if to get behind a
stump, when the soldier fired, killing him
instantly. The ball was, providentially,
prevented by bundle of clothes he was
carrying, from killing, probably, two
females who were in a line behind him.
This tragical event has thrown gloom
over the community. 1t is greatly to be
regretted that we have so many credulous
citizens, althoug III they are aware that the
Sioux are nearly four hundred miles dis
tant, and the ink hardly dry upon the last
treaty with the Chippewas. Besides, UNI
friendly Indians do not walk on the main
street, and there is but little necessity of
patrol along the sidewalks in the most fire.
quented parts of town. l trust this severe
lesson will not be thrown away.
During the past few days the weather
has been extremely warm, with high
wind off shore. AS usual, dry grass and
brushwood took fire, and the flames were
driven across upper town Superior City,,
burning several small frame houses and
shantes.
Have any orders been issued in compli-
ance with the request of Minnesota for
cavalry company to guard the military
road? s.

1t is now doubtful whether the first
draft for troops will be as originally in

have failed to furnish their quota under
previous calls. The delinquencies are so
small in all states where they exist, with
perhaps single exception, Pennsylvania,
