DrscARDING FERRY BoArs.-One day las. week,
man from up the Republican came to town
shopping. He started homeward with few
dollars worth Of dry goods, groceries. DC Ar.
sizing at the Republican, he concluded to save
twenty-five cents. and accordingly resolved to
ford. Riding up on the pier where the boat
lands, he spurred his horse into about fifteen feet
Of water. Horse and rider went with the current
the horse passing completely under the boat,
coming out at the lower side. The man clung
to the boat with more tenncity than he did the
twobits. Both were finally rescued, but the

SINcULAR-That such men as G. E. Beates and
Charles W. Tozier cannot get promoted. They
are honest, moral, temperate. black republicans,
capable, and as brave and daring men as are in
our brave army, and have been in the service
two years and half. Beates has talent superior
to onehaf the brigadiers, and yet he is only a
private! They make no efforts for advancement
too modest for that-but their friends have
repeatedly. 1t is indicative of awful corruption
somewhere, when such men are kept in the ranks,
while men who have been in the service less
than year, and who were never noted for any
thing else than drinking whisky. can get posi-
tions Of honor and profit.
