the President is little vain of his height.
/" Yes" he said in reply to an allusion to it
:" am tall, lacking only about one-fourth Of
an inch of six feet four" The words had
hardly escaped his lips when in came a
young fellow who, like the mathematical
definition of straight line, was length with.
out breadth.
He certainly was three inches taller than
Mr.. Lincoln, who said, "really, sir, must
look up to you; if you ever get into deep
place, you ought to be able 10 wade out"
Among those who were introduced to the
President was soldier from Ohio, in the
war Of 1872. He was dressed in the reg
imentals of musician of that time, and at
tracted much attention. He seemed very
anxious that the President should under
stand and believe suspicious hole or two
in the back of his scarlet coat were made
by moths and not by bullets.

ESCAPE OF A UNION CLERGYMAN FROM
THE SoUTH.-Rev. John II. Aughey, a
Presbyterian Clergyman who was preach
ing in Mississippi when the war broke out,
has recently succeeded in escaping from the
hands of the rebels, who were about to
hang him for his loyalty TO the Union.
When arrested he was taken before the
rebel Gen. Jordon, at Priceville, Miss, who
thus addressed him: E" Are you ITnionist p
l am, sir" Where were you born .
was born in the state of New York-a
i.ivi. rvPuffareu, nullined, Sc
ceded, nor did any other disgraceful act. /
am proud, sir, of my birthright in that glo-
rious Empire state" "If you love the
North SO well, why did you not go north at
the commencement of the war;" "Give
me passport, sir, and l will go north in
stanter." The first passport you get will
be free ticket to the internal regions" !"
=" Thank you for your kind offer, was not
before aware that you were the DEVILS tick
yet agent" was the response of the divine.
Soon after this interview the guards set
out with them for Tupelo, where they were
incarcerated in the central military prison.
There were some seventy or eighty prison.
ers in that gloomy abode. The prison was
filthy in the extreme. 1t wa, not supplied
with any kind of furniture, not even beds
or blankets. At night the inmates lay down
on the bard planks and slept as best they
could. They were starved, insulted and
maltreated in every possible way. A strong
guard came in daily and took the prisoners
out to do scayenger work in the streets. At
three O'Clock every day some of them were
taken out and shot o. hanged. With Mr..
Malone, Mr. Aughey attempted TO escape.
His friend did escape TO the federal lines,

Unity.

The great necessity of the hour is aanity,
Let the Administration and Congress, the
army and the people, be united in policy,
united in purpose, and united in action, and
the difficulty of restoring the Federal au-
thority, and its constitutional relations TO
the seeded States, would be easily over
come. Withou; a stern, active, united pol
icy, it will be impossible to re-establish
peace, order and prosperity upon perma-
nent basis. Why should the overpowering
millions of the loyal States, waste their
strength in useless contention and partisan
strife, while treason and rebellion have
raised bloody hand to strike down our
free institutions, and destroy this once
great and prosperous nation? Why will
they suffer unprncipled rebels and black
hearted traitors TO take advantage of a vac
illating and divided people. when resolute
firmness of purpose and unity of action is
all that is needed TO bring the war TO a
spec ey aud successful termination? Why
will they hesitate to strike the rebellion ef-
fectively, at its vital and most vulnerable
point, while the South are uniting in one
solid phalanx, devastating our country and
saturating its soil with blood? When the
assassin has raised his deadly arm, ard
clutched his victim by the throat, who would
be foolish enough TO parley about constitu-
tional forms of defense? The most efficient
defense in such case, is the most constitu-
| tional, and most in accordance with natural
right. Rays of light are already dawning
in the distance. The indomitable spirit Of
Freedom that is so deep rooted in the loyal
millions, with its all-potent power, is fast
rising TO meet the emergency of the mo-
ment. Our recent victories at the West
will tend TO encourage many loyal hearts to
new exertion, while it must fall like dead
weight upon the already waning hopes OF
the South, of establishing permanent foot
hold on the great national thoroughfare, by
their blocSading batteries.
Let all improve the advantages of the
time; let Congress make just and needful
laws, cabinet officers attend to the duties OF
their department, and the most able and eff
ficient generals be placed in the field to di-
rect the fighting. And more than all else,
let the democratic party in the northern
States cease their warfare upon the admin
istration and its supporters, and turn their
batteries with as much effort upon the reb-
els in arms against the Government, as they
have done against the President and his
Cabinet, and success would be easy and vic
tory certain. Why will they not do so?

TRAIToRs IN OUR ARMY.-We have
already announced the fact that the 109th
Regiment OF Illinois Volunteers has in good
part deserted to the rebels. The Cincinnati
Commercial says of it,
MUTINY.-The 109th Illinois Regiment
mutinied, a few days ago, at Holly Springs.
This Regiment was raised at Anna, place
in that portion of Illinois known as Egypt
where the Democracy cast an almost unani-
nous vote. The Lieutenant Colonel went
over to the enemy the other officers and
men, except the Colonel, who is loyal man,
are under arrest. This Regiment, before it
left Illinois, drove farmer out Of his house
at midnight because he had hired two ne
groes. There are said to be one or two
other Southern Illinois Regiments who are
not to be depended upon.
The Louisville Journal has letter from
Columbus, KY, of the 11th inst. which
says -
Among the officers taken at the SUR
prise and rout of the rebels at Knob Creek
was one P. H. Strickland, I'd lieutenant in
Company A, lst Tennessee Partisan RAN
gers. Upon Lieut.. Strickland, Capt Moore
found forty paroles of men belonging to the
l09th Illinois. Major Strickland Of the
SD Indiana being relative Of Lieut..
Strickland, they at once entered Into free
and confidential conversation. Among
other things, the Lieutenant informed the
Major that every man in the Tooth Illinois,
from the Colonel down, belonged to the
Knights Of the Golden Circle, and that
they (the rebels, )were afraid we would find
it out, because they were so bold and inn
prudent about it. He also said that there
were very many officers in the army be-
longing to that society, and that they ren-
dered the Confederates more service than
they did the Federals. Continuing, he
added that we had no idea of the strength
ofthat society in the North, and that through
it they were apprised of all important army

"Be patient, and the end will soon come.
All events are conspiring to give full effect

1t will soon be know d what God intends to

Our revolutionary war was seven years
our war with England three years our

has only been a year and half and, mark,
we are now just bringing out our strength.
We are just beginning to understand war.
There is parallel between this and the
war of 1Sl2-'15, which is quite instruct

Lincoln, and could norlook upon blood with
composu-e. In fact, he was opposed to the

letters were all directed in the maiden name

husbands name had been given they would

replaced in prison. They sent out two COM
panies of cavalry with bloodhoun.s in
search Of them. Mr.. Aue hey s arrest took
place after he had been out two nights and
day. Several of his fellow prisoners had
been shot during his absence.
On his return he found that the floor Of
his prison had been spiked down, the guards
doubled, and great precaution and vigilance
exercised 10 prevent any future escape.
The judge advocate Of the confederate ar
my of the West came one day and informed
Mr.. Aughey that be would be executed on
the following Tuesday. As they had de-
termined to hang him, he petitioned to be
shot, but the request was refused. He re-
solved therefore to attempt second escape,
and in event OF failure, draw the fire Of
the guard and be saot. He preferred to be
slain in the excitement incident 10 an at-
tempt at escape, to horrid death by stran-
gulation at ropes end, amid the jeers Of a
rabble. His fellow prisoners aided him in
removing his chain (tEe heavy bands they
could not remove) and, although the prison
was strictly guarced and surrounded by
camps containing fifteen or twenty thousand
armed men, yet he eluded their vigilance
and succeeded in reaching the dense woods.
At length after incredible sufferings from
hunger, thirst, fatigue, and excitement, he
reached the federal lines at Rienzi, Miss,
in safety, where he found protection beneath
the folds of the old flag.
