At the battle Of Stone River, while the
men we're lying behind a crest waiting, a
brace Of frantic wild turkeys, 80 parslyzed
with fright that they we,e incapable Of flying,
ran between the lines and endeavored TO hide

Bu' the frenzy among the turkeys was not
80 touching as the exquisite fright Of the
birds aud rabbits. When the roar Of battle
rushed through the cedar thickets, locks OF
little birds Auttered and circed above the
field in state Of utter bewilderment, and
scores Of rabbits aed for protection to our
men lying down in line on the left, nesting
under their coats and creeping under their

Flower is Of the family Of the sable little
devil Of Salem, bu. we are bound in truth to
say, that Il so, she is much more gentle.
And now for some Of the tricks, which
were as actually played in Massachusetts in
1879, as was the music the other evening, by
somebody or something, and we're attributed
to demons.
"le the year 1879" says Maher, book w. othe hou,,
OF william Morse, at Neubetry Mass vas infested

snoks and stones, were often by some invisible hand
thrown Al the house, aud many pieces Of wod

There is much more OF the same sort, but
we have quoted enough to show that the
devil, or witches, or something else, long ago
performed thiogs equally as wonderful as
those now attributed to spiri tus power.--
Then there was no circle, no mesmeric or
electric power induced by passes but like
things were done without these means Good
people and learned people, in various parts of
the world, attributed these things to bad peo-
pie, inspired by the devil The agency was
usually invisible, though sometimes the affict-
ed saw little black devil. The agents Of
this devil we're called witches, aud many of
them confessed that they we're lesgued with
the devil, though they knew they would be
hung for II, as many Of them were Now we
do not know the cause OF these modern de-
monsttations we cannot account for them
but we tell what we heard and felt and know,
and ask you, reader, and everybody else
what is it When that question shall be
answered satisfactorily, the mystery Of anci-
ent witchcrai. and modern sp.rituslism will
be solved.

At this moment the owner Of the house ar

the property Of Union men and the govern

MAJOR GENERALS

The question Ofrsnk Of Major General, has

s. Banks, appointed June 5, 1851. and
ranking from May l6.
4. Dix, appointed June ] 4, sol, and rank
ing from May l6.
5. Butler, appointed May l6.
The last three we're determined, not by
dates of appointment, but by the dates al,
which the President sen, the names to the
Senate. FremonPs position was fixed by the
act Of the President. who fixed the date Of
rank at the time Of appointment. We doubt
whether the date Of appointment, rather than
Of nomination to the Senate ought no, to con
troll, and therefore whether Butler ought no,
to precede Banks and Dix.
