and New Albany railroad. The telegraph
operator at Salem, a boy, getting wind Of it
sent rnmor that Governor Morton, of India

with bands of music, etc, would pass through
at certain hour Immense crowds of
enthusiastic Republicans repaired to the
depot, hats in hand, ready for the expected
cheer When the train thunderedin, an aged
and venerable owner OF pair of fabulous
ears stuck his head out OF stock car and
gave vent TO a long agonzing hee-haw that
fairly shook the hills around CONSERVATION

A Religious Dog.

The New York correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Journal is responsible for the following
In the ancient aud beautiful town of Chath.
am, New York, ia very remarkable dog,
whose character and behavior would excite
the admiration of all good men. On week
days he is dog OF like passions and behavior
with other animals but on Sunday his
peculiarties and sectarian prejudices shine
out Unlike the crow, he can count, and
knows when Sunday comes. He is not the
same then as on other days. He indnlges in
no pastmes. He encourages no company
and no familiarity He says in actions, louder
than words, 10 the vain and canine race-"Six
days shalt thou play and do all your sports" d
The family are all Presbyterians, but the
dog is Methodist On Sunday mornings he
attends the family on their way to church,
leaves them at the door of the honse Of the
Lord where they attend, and then goes on his
solitary and unhroken way till he comes to
the Methodist Church, which is little further
on When he reaches the church, he goes
up stairs, and has particular place in which
he sits and when an intruder ventures into
| his place, no belle or madam Of fashion who
goes sweeping up the isle of Grace and finds
pebian in her elegant pew, can give more
decided indications of displeasure and annoy
ance than does the dog. His seat yielded, he
attends the service with decorum, and pays
dogmatcal attention to the word of Scripture
Every Sunday he can be seen on his way to
church, foul weather az in fair--and his de.
nominational prejudices are as we'll known as
| those of any gentleman in town.

For our part we have no fears of the
rank and file. Lot their voice be heard

we shah bo perSscty content Butwe ave
not SO silly as to read their sentiments in
the wonderful letters and proclsmasions
of generals, colonels, ETC.. no matter how
often these proclamAtiOns are solemnly
read at dress parade. We understand too
well the discipline Of an army, the power
Of officers over privates, and the unscrp-
pulous manner in, which they exercise it,
We read their sentimehts in the private
letters which they write to their friends by
the thousand and tens Of thousand, in
their free and unrestrained intercourse with
us when they come home on furlough. and
in their universal and intense anxiety to
be out Of this war. An officer, looking
to promotion, is very good LINCOLN
man. But private makes very good
citizen. An officer, holding power and
hoping for more, cares not how long the
war may last. But the private, with his
wife and family at home unprotected and
unprovided for himself starving, drown
ing, and freezing by turns unpaid, un-
cared for, unnoticed no matter how brave,
neglected when sick, cut and slashed by
surgeons when wounded and amidst all
his suffering and privations treated with
less kindness and regard than is bestowed
upon any greasy runaway nigger who es'
capes INTO camp-the private, we say
hopes for speedy termination of an use
