AN INCIDENT IN THE CARs.-Ina cal
on railroad which runs into New York
few mornings ago, a scene Occurred
which will not soon be forgotten by th.
witnesses of it. A person dressed as !,
gentleman, speaking to friend across the
car, said: Well, 1 hope the war may las
six months longer. If it does / shall
have made enough to retire from business
In the last six months I've made. hupd.
red thousand dollars-six months more
and | shall have enough"
A lady sat behind'the speaker, and nee.
essarily heard his remark but when he
was done she tapped him on the shoulder,
and said to him: Sir, had two sons
one of them was killed at the battle Of
Fredericksburg; the other was killed at the
battle OF Murfreesborough."
She was silent moment. and SO were
all around who heard her. Then. over.
come by her indignation, she suddenly
slapped the speculator, first on one cheek,
then on the other, and before the fellow
could say word, the passengers sitting
near, who had witnessed the whole affair
seized him, and pushed him huniedly out
OF tho car, as one not fit to ride with de.
cent people.-M. z. Evening Post.

MITIGATING REvoLur1on.-The fol.
LOWING is an extract from speech deliver.
ed recently at q Democratic meeting in
New York, by Hon. G. H. Pendleton Of
Ohio:
"The Idemnity bill provided that the
President shall have the authority to sus-
pend the writ of habeas corpus in any
case throughout the United States
A Voice-We will keep our powder
dry; let him try it.
Mr. Pendleton-7has IS good doctrine" I"
That is to say, Mr.. Pendleton is in ia.
vor of armed resistance to the government
or in other words, Of revolution. That is
what his copperheadism would lead him
to. When Congress and the loyal people
are doing everything in their power to up
bold the hands of the President, and
shield him from the delays and indecis.
ion caused by his enemies, and thereby
enable him to more vigorously prosecute
the war, this Pendleton is allowed to move
among the people and suggest or advise re.
sistance to him and the government. And
we presume this sneak claims to be a good
Union man too!

@T Why do not those whose business
it is to advertise Government Sales, give
longer Notice before the Sale The wa,
the thing is managed at present but few
, in the country know anything about the
sales until they are all over. For in.
stance, there was a sale of condemned
Government stock-horses, mules, &c.
in Leavenworth last Monday, though bu'
very few people here knew of it before
the sale. The first and only notice that
we saw of it was by a paper (the Daily
Bulletin } which arrived here on Friday,
only two days previous 10 the sale. And
this is fair sample Of the time given of
the sales which have been held from time
to time at Ft. Scott, Lawrence, Leaven-
worth, and other places. We knew and
know Of several parties in this vicinity
who are anxious to attend these sales, but,
Tor want Of sufficient time between the no.
tice sale and the sale itseIfin which to
travel the required distance, have been un.
able 10 do SO. If it is intented to give all
a chance and get bidders from the back
country, let these sales be advertised at
least three or fdar weeks.

FROM SPRINGFIELD.

i
[The following correspondence to the
Union was received last week, but was too
late for publication in that issue. Itwas
written about the first of this month.
In my letter from Fort Scott I told you
l would write again from this place. In
coming through passed near Carthage
about the time an escort and train we're
attacked in which Lieut.. Spencer and
three men were killed. Livingston was
repulsed and left four men dead on the
field. 1 saw the escort the next morning.
Woodruff, from Blue Rapids, was with
them. He said Livingston had over 100
men and the escort consisted of 80 men,
mostly convalescents from the Hospital at
Fayettville, Ark.
l had rough time in coming through,
it showed and rained all the time and was
very muddy. I saw the Thirteenth Kan
sas and also the Second yesterday. The
ranks of the 18th are very much reduced
by desertion. The boys from Marshall
county are generally healthy but seem to
be very much dissatisfied, more on &C.
count Of officers than any other Cause
Kansas is we'll represented here; Lie ut.
Dexter, from Qnindaro, is Post Q. NJ, and
is an efficient and courteous officer. Col.
Cloud, Of the I'd Kan, is in command of
the District. He gets after the Secesh oc-
with vengeance. Cloud is
thorough officer. Captain Warren, the
old Seargt alarms of the Kansas Legis.
lature, is @. M. Of the LIST division of the
Army of the Frontier. Col. Solomon, of
the 9th Wisconsin, is in command of the
LIST division and is about half way between
here and Ft. Scott The Tenth Kansas is
also here. l think it the best appearing
regiment at this place from Kansas. The
10th has a fine band, ,whichgreatly improves
heir appearance. There is an immense
business doing in the @. M. department.
Springfield literally swarms with shoul.
Ter straps. If the army is in proportion
the shoulder straps, there must be an
immense army here.
1t is really amusing to sit down in camp
Nth old acquaintances and hear them tell
t their skirmishes and exploits, but with
ut jokeing I think they have seen the ell
phant.
We have bushwhackers all around Us
md last night a man living only three
niles from here was visited by them and
obbed of arms and. ammunition.
Springfield seems to be in prosperous
ondition just now, but how long it will
ontinue no one knows. The troops have
lot been paid for six months, and green
acks are rather scarce. They we're mus
cred yesterday, and will be paid in few
ays two months pay. Forage Is very ,
