Quite an experiment will be made IN

sEOsssesv Truths fOa Wives.

Although your husband may neg
lect to give you good dress. do not
seek revenge by giving him good
dressing. DO not hesitate between
the choice OF an expensive mautle
and your husbands affection; the
former may be dear t. your back
but the latter should be dearer to
your bosom. Should Your husband
bring a friend home to partake OF
the remains Of yesterdays beet, do
not be churlish, but let warm smile
season the cold repast. Prefer coun-
try ramb!eS to town lounges: the col
ors of the rose are brighter than the
ltues of silks, aud dewdropS outshjne
the jewellers gems. Never deny
your husband the pleasure Of smc-
king the cigar by the freside, it is
the domestic calumet of peace. BE
careful in brewing the cup which
cheers, but not inebriates; strong
tea is better than weak arguments.
The hand which was pledged at the
altar is not disgraced in sewing on
a button: and rcmem Der as You
SOW so shall you reap.

A CoINcDENcE.-A few days ago
a man was returning from Iowa city
with the body Of his son who had
died there in the 9Th cavalry. THIS
side of Cedar Rapids he picked up
two tootmen in different places who
asked ride to Marion. The parties
were all strangers to each other, and
it appeared by comparing notes that
each one had lost son 10 the army;
two in the 9Th Iowa cavalry, and
two had each son in the army vet.
This incident illustrates the universal
mourning through the length and
breadth Of the land. Every family
circle, almost, has a chair made
vacant by the monster ar.-Llnn

thousand Georgia militia to be hrought.in into
the field in case Burnside should form Il iunc-
ton with Rosecrans, come up with heavy re.
Inducements, and restore the prestige of VIC
tory to the army of the Cumberland. Not a
gun was fred by Johnston's reserves. 1t is
suggested that in consequence of the heavy
reserved force of the willy Johnston, Gen,
Rosecrans had better look well to his TANKS,
and that the position Of Gen. Burnside at
Knoxville is somewhat critical, since ii rebel
column may move upon him from the direc-
ton of Abingdon, Va, and another from the
direction of Dalton, Ga.

strong, the old regiments having beer filled

Hills center corps embracing Trimble's, Ma

manded by Gen. Jubal A. Early, now occupy

cavalry under Gen. Jerry L. b. Stuart, and
500 pieces OF artillery, Lee has also about
$4,000 men in reserve at Richmond com
mandtd BY Maj. General Ely, of Maryland.
Besides this there are 5000 infantry in the vi

which is called the Ellen johnson. The own
err OF the boat attempted to sink her by having
the plug taken out, but did not succeed, and
the Yankees soon got alongside, coming very
rapidly with the Hood tide. The owner, Mr..
Dickins, and Captain Dick Brook, made their
escape, but the engineer, Captain Smack, OF
Richmond, remained. strange to say, though
urged by the owner to leave, and was soon
captured.
They soon landed vulgar, low-b bred, negro
associating lieutenant and six marines, who
sought in vain to find the remainder of The
crew, firing shot and shell at random. They
sent two negro sailors ashore to persua lie
Gen. Lees servants to leave with them, but
they refused to go and associate with Yam
kee race so much their inferior in social posi-
ton. They told them if they would % they
would make officers, drummprs, fifers, &C., Of
them, but the darkies had seen Yankees before,
and knew well their base characteristics. They
took Mr.. Collins, General Lees overseer, and
for what cause no one can tell, as he had
nothing to do with the expedition or the
steamer.
The lieutenant was in bad humor, having
heard of Gen. Braggs, Magruder's, and Dick
Taylor'S late victories. He shot all the geese,
ducks, and large sly hog, and took them on
board. They then took their departure, she'll
ing right and left; set fire to Il house in New
Kent, stopped at West Point, arrested Mr..
James L. New and carried him on board.
They next went up the Mattapony river about
ten miles, stopped at Mr. Robinson's, searched
his house, stole a small boat, snelled the coun-
try, and returned at night to West Point.

We showed this seed to a Mexican gentle
man, holding it in our hands; he expressed
his surprise at our rashness, averring that no
money would tempt him even to touch it; he
stated that it was held in the greatest abhor-
renee and fear by ali Mexicans on account of
its deadly properties, and no one acquainted
with them would touch leaf or IA seed on
any account. He said the seed was "Diablo
lie Miracles" or miraculous devil A more
miraculous looking article we certainly never
set our eyes on; it is suggestive of spiritual
ism, odic force and other abstruse powers. 1t
is well known that a ball made of the pith of
the elder may be so charged with electricity
by means of friction that it will jump about
for a considerable time. The only possible
explanation of the extraordinary movements
Of the miraculous devil seed is, that it is ma
turally charged with vast quantity of the ell
ectric fluid, which keeps it continually in mo-
ton. - California Paper.

Bragg's Strength in the Recent Conflict.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The latest southern
intelligence, BASED on the best authority, states
that Braggs original army consisted of two
corps, Que under Cen d. II. Hill, the other
under Gen. Leonidas Polk. There were
three divisions in each corps and three bate
ries in each division. Bragg had, in addition,
one division of cavalry under Gen. Wheeler,
embracing the brigades of Forrest, Pegram,
Wharton, Martin and Reddy. His whole
force amounted to about forty thousand men.
Braggs reinforcements consisted of four d.
visions from Gen. Joe JOhnston's command
IRON Mississippi and Alabama, the latter hav-
ing been Withdrawn from Mobile; one divis-
Ion from Charleston under command of Gen.
Joe jenkins, and Gen. Buckner's division of
East Iennesseeans. Longstreet reinforced
Bragg with two of his divisions from Lees
army, Hoods and McLaw's Gov. Brown of
Georgia strengthened Bragg with twelve state
regiments, and assembled at Rome, q conye-
nient distance from Kingston, Ga, fifteen
thousand state militia. Breckenridge rein
forced Bragg with ten thousand men,
Gen. Joe Johnston held, in reserve at King
ston, fifteen miles in the rear of the battle
ground, thirty thousand disciplined troops,
together with five thousand cavalry, under

favor in the western states than in the Old
states, because the former hitherto have had
less Trustworthy currency than the latter.

The Yankees on the Pamunkey.
From the Richmond Examiner.

The Yankee hog and negro stealers made
another water raid up the Pamunkey river on
Friday morning last, and captured small

chored at Gen. Lees farm, about ten miles by
water above West Point, about 8 o'clock ON
Thursday night, and remained until the next
morning, when she commenced getting up
steam about O'clock Before she got ready
to start, two Yankee gunboats turned the point
u short distance below, and in less than ten
minutes were up with the little steamer,
