Our Losses at WINCHESTER.

Mllroy had escaped in good order, losing
OILY about two thousand men, and bring

ficial," of course the country did not be-
lieve word of them. The New York
Herald's correspondent, who was On the
ground, and escaped with the remnant of
Milroy's fOrce, tells the following story,
which is doubtless correct, being corobor-
ated by other testimony. 1t is the concIu-

To those who see in the Democracy in

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

MORE GOLD DIsCOvERIEs.-We have
been favored with the perusal of letter direct
ed to Mr. VIM. R. Noble, of this city, from a
friend of his residing at Fort Garry. He says ::
A trader from the Blackfeet Indian country
has just arrived here and reports that extensive
gold fields have peen discovered on the Inter-
national Boundary line, near the headwaters of
the Missouri. He (the trader) says great excite
ment prevailed at the time of his leaving; and
that there was already quite All assemblage of
Americans and others who were reaping a
golden harvest. Some were making as high as
5000 per day-none lower than $45. This gen.
tleman's statement is reliable, and you may de-
pend upon it. The purpose of his visit here is
to take out his relatives and mining supplies.
The report is very generally believed here, and
seems to eclipse the yield of the Saskatchewan
mines, to which large numbers were preparing
to start

Flowers.

How the universal heart of man blesses
flowers! They are wreaths round the
cradle, the marriage altar, and the tomb.
The Persian in the far east delights in their
perfume, and writes his love in nosegays,
while the Indian child of the far west
claps his hands with glee as he gathers
the abundant blossoms-the illuminated
scriptures of the prairies. The cupid of
the ancient Hindoos tipped his arrows
with flowers, and orange flowers are a
bridal crown with us, a nation of yester-
day. Flowers garlanded the Grecian al
tar, and hung in votive wreaths before the
Christian shrine. All these are appropri-
ate uses. Flowers should deck the brow
of the youthful bride, for they are in them
selves lovely type of marriage. They
should Irvine around the tomb, tor their
perpetually renewed beauty is symbol of
the resurrection. They should festoon the
altar, for their fragrance and their beauty
ascend in perpetual worship before the
Most High.

AN AMAzoN.--A lady arrived yester-
day on the Canada, who had served in Mis-
souri, cavalry regiment for twenty-five months.
Her name is Clayton, and she had for
merly resided in this city. She and her
husband, we believe, had enlisted to-
gether. Her husband was killed at the bat
tie of Murfreesboro, but it is only lately her
sex was discovered. She wore q mans shirt
with turn down collar and breast-pin, and
seemed very much to enjoy the flavor of
fragrant Havana which she was smoking with
perfect nonchalance. We met a young man

had often played ''poker' in the regiment with
her; but neither he nor any of his comrades
had the slightest knowledge of her sex. She
was known in the company by the soub,Iquet
of Jack Williams, and is described as having
been capital swordsman and an accomplished
hOrse-mm. She had her regular discharge pa
pers with her, thus proving the truth of her
story, and left on the afternoon train for St.
Anthony, near which place she has friends
residing.

LOCOMOTIVE AHKAD.-We witnessed an
amusing race yesterday between an ex-mem-
Der of the Legislature from one of the rural
districts, and locomotive on the st. Paul and
Pacific road Last bell rung when the member
from the provinces started, with the fiery horse
some twenty feet ahead. Thinking he could
head off his competitor on the curve around
the trestle work, he started across the swamp,
his coat tails sticking out behind him, suffi-
GENTLY straight, as a by-stander observed, to
play game of euchre on. Gu went the en-
CINE and on went the ex-legislator, and. as he
is of opinion himself, would have beaten the
monster, which was evidently blown, judging
from the noise it made, if he had not run plump
into buggy, nearly capsizing the vehicle from
the force of the conclusion. This untoward
event threw him out of time, and he was, con-
sequently, distanced. The last we saw of him
he was trying to borrow Carpenters rule to
ascertain the exact member Of feet by which he
was distanced.
