New York papers tell us II is truly graft
flying to announce a fact so personally credit

One Of the frail:es Of human nature
and particularly so with human legislation
lis that men too often mistake impossible
ties for obstacles, aud think by the pursuit
of what, from the very nature Of the case,
is clearly beyond reach, to attain ultimately
the contamination of their ambitious, vain
glorious, wicked schemes. Thus are ma
tions eutangled, stop by step, in the webs
aud crossrwebs Of foreign and domestic
complicacies, for which, in the beginning,
nothing may have been SO easy as extrica-
ton, but whose end leaves no outlet except
that of war There is not revolution on

respect most accurate countcrparts Of the
des3ation which follows after a shorts
sighted ministry, or party, whose self-reh-
ancc has led it into tho whirlpool of ruin,

OF vanity, pride and imhecility,

TOTAL DEPRAvrrY.
The last two days have revealed some
startling features of this unholy rebellion
entirely new to your correspondent. You
are aware that every means has been resor-
ted to by the guerrilla bands of the south.
west to destroy the Federal troops wher.
ever found. Even cold d-blooded murder is
sanctioned by their leaders, upon the prin.
ciple that "the end justities tho means" ;"
Day before yesterday, while detachment
Of Company *" with some other detach
mcnts from the regiment were on pickle,
duty, some men in women's clothes ap.
preached the vidette, and as they advanced,
the vidette, with characteristic partiality for
calico, did not observe man in his legiti.
mate dress just in the rear of the calico
men, consequently allowed them to ap.
proach very near. As soon as he saw the
man he halted him; the reb. asked our vi.
dette (private Ed. Bricker of Co. Ky
who he was. He replied, "a Federal sol
dier,"- at that instant the reb. fired, the
ball striking Brickcr's horse in the forehead
just below the eyes. The rebs then ske
daddled. On pursuing them i, was obser
we'd that the ladies (?) had horses conceal,
cd near by, and that they rode with tue
stirrups-that is, with q le limb on each
side Of the horse. To adopt such means
to murder our pickets will bring the south
ern ladies' into difficulty. Our boys will
! soon loose all respect for the dimity insti
tuition. The boys subsequently learned
that two men had procured female attire a,
house near the picket post; so there i,
no doubt in regard to the sex of the would
besmurderers.
But will not dilate further upon this
subject, for my letter is already quite
lengthy. Lieut.. Barnes sends his best re.
CARDS to the proprietors OF the TINES and
expresses the hope that Col. Richardson
now feels restored to his native element
since resuming the pen to talk to the dear
people again through thu columns Of the
cheerful old TINES.
Yours faithfully, FRANK.

Our Soldier Left US long ago,
With heart go firm and true,
To battle for his country's Flag,
The Red, the White, the Bldei
But his welcome missives often came
To cheer our lonely hearts,
With many . deed OF vaior done,
Or many . toisoms march:
"when the din Of battles DER
Upon vicksburg's bloody plain,
I'm coming home, dear father,
To greet you all again"
Tis' done, the conflict ended,
Our hard earned victory won,
While many . noble heart lies cold
~' Beneath southern sun.
And We listen for thy footsteps,
And thy welcome words Of chssn
While nightly We are dreaming
or the smile thou used to wear.
We know not If thsu lisst

With Ne sister bending Ger thee
To hear thy farewell Sigh;

Or close thy wcaried eyesi
Mayhap that southern roses

May southern dews fall lightly,
Above our loved ones head.
