DEsERTERs FROM BRAGG.-A letter from
Chattanooga to the Cincinpati Con'me'ci%
says Notwithstanding their late sue
cess, the rebel soldiers sre taking every
possitl le occasion to come hto our lines as
deserfers. Ten or twelve came in yester-
Gay morning, taking advantage of a dense
fog that rendered the running Of their
picket lines an easy task. They tell Us
that the rebel army is in state of mental
anxiety and agitation consequent upon
the reception of news that Rosecrans was
reinforced by Grant, Hooker, and others.
They give it as their o, inion that Bragg
will commence falling back toward Rome
before our army can get ready for offensive
operations Generals Polk and Hindman
are under arrest, by order of General
Bragg, for not advancing on our retreat
ing columns on Sunday night. Bragg
ordered Polk to pursue us vigorously;
instead of which the Reverend rebel went
vigorously into camp with all his COM
mand, and by Monday morning. even
Bragg himself was afraid to advance very
far upon the heels of the I" demoraized
and fugitive Yankees" There is no doubt
that the rebels could have increased our
discontinue very much by following us
up on Sunday night.

They laid him in his soldiers grave.

So dear to all the true and brave
His Country's Rights Divine!
he could not bear to he a slave
And hence he rests in Glorys gravei
For what but slavery to fear
The worst that can befall
When Country calls, by all most. dear
To stand, or nobly fall:
Who would not rather seek to die
Ten thousand deaths, ere turn to fly:
Yes. he was brave-and now he sleeps
Among his kindred dead;
While mourning Memory DER him weeps
Those tears we ever shed
Oer patriot slain in patriot cause,
For Liberty and Freedoms laws.
The Spoiler sought him in his might
And pride Of manhood's noon,
And touched him with Deaths fatal fight,
He died and all too soon:
Yes all too soon for those most dear
Who weep above his glorious bier.

Thy lone fate to dcplore-
Thou are not quite OF all bereft,
Thou might'st have lost one more;
His child is left to be thy stay,
Thy love and comfort day by day.

Who die for God and Right!
BIay Heaven their memory still save
From dull Ob!vions night,
And on the tablets OF old Time
Record their deeds and names sublime.
And he has gone we loved him well
Our soldier brother true
The ocean surges doomed his knell,
The night-winds wept their dew,
AZ his brave spirit passed from earth
And entered on its Heavenly birth.
Rest in that home we would not call

Its pleasure fraught with pain,
To tempt the spirit once set free?

A CURIOUS MIRROR.

Among curiosities exhibited at the last
Paris Exhibition. was huge concave
mirror, the instrument Of a startling
species Of optical magic. On standing
close to the mirror, aud looking into it, it
presents nothing but magui6cently mon
strous dissection Of your own physiogno-
my. On retiring little, say couple of
feet, it gives your ewn face and figure in
true proportion. bat reversed. the head

effects. and pass on. But retire still faith

six feet from the mirror, and behold. you

strike you as reHection-but your vcrita-
Bile self standing in the middle part be-
tween you and the mirror The effect is
appalling. from the idea it suggests Of
something supernatural; SO startling in
fact that men Of the strongest nerves will
shrink iuvoluntarily at the first view. If
you raise your cain to thrust at your other
self, you will see it pass clean through the
body and appear OF the other side, the
figure ,hrusting at you the same instant.

OF THE EMPRESS
EUGENE.

Louis Napoleon's spouse is as capricious
as she is pretty. The hoop skirt is one
of her notions, and on the whole a benef-
cial one. Embroidered petticoats were
another Of the Empress whims, engender-
ed by her pity for the distressed scamstres-
scs Of Paris. A sudden and unroyal.like
visit to London was another caprice. caus.
ing quarrel with Louis and other family
trouble. Becoming distressiugly rious
was another imperial notion; promising TO
have second baby, another. Blu. the
4ueerest and most startling feminine fancy
was publishing newspaper. La France
is the Empress organ. which Eurupe reads
with interest. on whose contents the stock
holders speculate, and which forms the
new sensation" of Paris. 1t has an epor-
nous circulation. and is impairment and
assuming. Fancy Eugenics loyelv
hands soiled with ink Of proof. sheets
Imagine her selecting, clipping, revising.
arranging and inaiting conceiving leaders
instead of children. and arranging ideas
instead Of colors. All the poke, money
that 'he can squeeze out Of her gria lord
is now wasted in types; all her time is
passed in selecting editors and prescribing
copy. Some day La France will 90 too
far, and Louis Napoleon. the Sphinx"
will become desperately savage lie will
stretch forth bis morally huge paw, and.
like AN cgg-shell, his wife's newspaper will
crackle aud disappear. They have a very
quiet and efficient way of regulating tho
Press in Paris.
