A GOOD STORY.

In the Editors Drawer Of Harper's
Magazine, we find the following good sto-
ry Of Illinois soldiers and an Illinois Col
enel-the latter, Col. Oglesby, We'll known
to fame
"Well, one day the fl fer and drum ma

melody, fine shoat of musical procllvi-

now. After a considerable discussion, an
idea strikes the drummer (not SO as to
hurt m)--"We will put him in the
drum "Just the thing, by hokey!"
said the ffer. One head was taken out
and the hog slowed in, and our heroes
started for their quarters, carrying the
drum between them. In the meantime
the regiment went out for dress parade
and the Colonel somewhat vexedr at the
absence 5f the principal musicians; no
sooner saw the gents, than, in
voice ofreprimand. he ordered them to
take their places with the music. The
drum bearers halted, looked at each 9TH
er, and then at the Colonel, but said nev.
er word. The Colonel repeated his or.
der in style SO emphatic that it couldn't
be misunderstood. The dealers i'll pork
felt that crisis had arrived, that an ex-
PLANTATION had become "miltary neces-
ity." So the drummer going close up to
the Colonel made him acquainted with
the status Of affairs, winding up with -
"We low, Colonel; to bring the best
quarter over to your mess" "Sick, eh p

1t would appear by the choral burst Of
agony from the Democratic speakers and
journals over the suspension of the privi'
legs Of the wri: Of h.beas courpus in Ca
ses properly under military authority,
aud by their unanimous declaration that
this has struck liberty fatal blow, that
up 10 this time they are happy in tho en-
joyment OF the largest liberty. Yet from
.heir previous lamentations over the same
total bereavement, one would be At loss
to imagine what liberties they hsd lett
TO be taken away. The Democratic con.
dition was previously SO bad thst Mr.
Push told the convention E. Columbus,
tia, 1t had tssen away his sppetits for
domestic solace. and mad. existauce a
burden. nHd that il such tyranny ~.s to
continue he vould rather lace the can

called lllem-whi III shows the irslena-
bic nature of the rich brogue-that if
things were to continue rs they were, he
would want no other country TO reside
in, except that silent place % which we
are all Fastening, and where all will al

In this manner the fluids OF the Demo.
craticmssSss have been remore!esslyd ydrsin
sl during this whole canvass. They were
required to hang their Lsrps (oi Erin on
the willows y hile they bewailed their
Lincoln captivity. But now it aeems by
the quantity of liberty tba has been hung
up by This suspension, that they we're
gay and festive before. From this we
draw the euboursgement that in the
Course of brief time, the Democratic
LADDERS nay conclude that their present
condition Is joyous and free.

BIRDS Or A FEAwSER;

The Democratic Party has several re.
turned military officers enlisted in Its
cause, Of which the party JOY. There is
a Colonel Groom, dismissed the services
for variety of qualities unbecoming an
officer aud man, who is making Demo
cratic speeches. There Is Col Schleigh
Of Lancaster, doing "yeoman service" in
the Democratic canvass. Col Nc Groar;y
describes, in our Columbus dispatch, the
virtues for which he was turned out. Des
prived of his martial weapon, for coward
ice, he properly becomes peace Demo,
crat. There is Lieutenant,C Colonel An
drews Of Auglaise, who went out and OBJ
served the enemy's troops ClsrksvlIle,
and reported to Col. Rodney Mason and
the council Of officers, d force surround
ing them SO greatly superior as to make
resistance hopeless and unjustiiable, in
consequence Of which the council deci
to surrender. Tor which they were blam-
ed and c,.shierel while he; by sneaklng
ly refused 20 stand by his iestm,ny and
justly his Col, ESCAPED he hss resigu
ed, and is working for the confederate
Democracy.
This is all according to the eternal Gt
ness oi things. So by the zeal Of the
Copp4rheads in resisting the arrest o' de
serrers, it is evident that every deserler
is regarded as inialliably a Democrat. So
1t will be observed the rebel leadeas are
as justas good Democrats now
as before their treason.
