to that of the cold gloom of November and

decay which is already marring the land

so grad ual as to be scarcely perceptible. but
to those of our citizens who get breath of

astonishing. He sighs as he thinks how

cidal policy, with its attendant horrors OF

hope the patriot may have of a restored and
happy Union. 1t leaves no prospect but dis
severed States, bitter animosities, and
mountain of crushing debt to keep down
forever the energies of the people. If the
Republican candidates are elected, we see
no possible result but disunion in the future.
Armies can occupy, but armies cannot well

Jealous patti iotism well worthy Of imita-
ton by younger men. But the most re-
markable member OF ibis regiment is
private Of company II, named Curtis
King, whose history and description is
really curious. He is over eighty-one
years of age, six feet two inches in
height, of brawny and stalwart frame,
barring his bosom to the cold winds Of
winter without endangering his health,
and moving in his round Of duties with
the CELEBRITY of a youth Of eighteen
Owing to his great age, and the fact of
his being blind of an. eye, he found great
difficulty, when the regiment was form
ing, in getting permission to enlist, two
or three companies refusing to take him,
hut he was at length successful, and since
the regiment has been on duty he has
proved one Of the most effective men in
it. He is, and has been from bis youth,
a democrat of the old jackson school,
and even now indulges industrious in
veclive against the Abolitionists. He
was born in Cnlpepper county, Virginia,
and claims to be n lineal descendant of
Pocahontas and this statement is veri-
fed by his pbysiognomy, which betrays
the character Of the Indian. He has
been twice married, (frst when only 10
years Of age) and is the father Of twen-
ty-onc children, one of which was two
weeks since, only fifteen months old
wnen it died. He claims to be able TO

beginning Of Genesis TO the end Of
Revelations, and can neither read nor

now is, and where be enlisted. Mr..
Kings family is somewhat celebrated for
longevity, his mother having lived to the
age of l03, and one grandfather 10 les
years. The opinion of this aged veteran
upon the war, though he gives it in
somewhat homely and antique figure of
speech, is not to be ignored as devoid Of
good foundation. When asked his idea
as TO the result of the struggle, be re-
piled, Well, | think the longest pole

might well be taken for an example by
younger soldiers, TO say nothing of bis

ficiency and value of such men to the
service.

EMPLOYMENT OF NEGROES IN THE REBEL
ARMY.
The following is from the Savannah (Ga)
NelrS, Sept. Q:
A Joint committee of tho Alabama Legis-
laturc, just adjourned, reported resolu
ton in favor of the proposition to employ
slaves in the military service of the Con-
fcderHtc States, which proposition, we
perceive, is favored by many of the presses
of Mississippi and Alabama. After dis
cussIon in the Alabama House the resOlu-
ton WAS adopted by a vote of sixty eight
yeas to twelve nays, after striking out the
words "military" before service, and "sol-
diers" at the end of the resolution. The
resolution was amended and reads rs fol-
lows:
That it is the duty of Congress to pro-
vide by law for the employment in the SER
vice of the Confederate States of America,
in such situations and in such numbers ms
may be found absolutely necessary, the
AblG bodied slaves of the country, whether
AS pioneers, sappcrs aud miners, cooks,
nurses aud teamsters.
In this form we can SEQ no objection to
the resolution.
