Something New.

DID you ever hear of the way in which the
man by the name of {. New" who had so many
children, got out of his difficulty about giving
them names? He had had twelve male respon-
sibitics presented to him. He had exhausted
the vocabulary Of names. There was James
New, and William New, and John New, and
Stephen New, etc, etc. At last be was presen-
ted with the thirteenth child 1t was a boy
again. What to call him he hadn't the slight
est idea. So at last in utter desperation, to the
CONSERVATION of his wife, he named him Nothing
New. The next child was a girl. Well now
there was no difficulty. But his better half in
sisted upon having the naming of that child her
self. Several months passed, during which she
resolutely kept the name to herself At last
when christening day came round, she as
tonished her good lord and the assembled COM
pany, by naming the little girl Something
New

City of Atlanta.

The city Of Atlanta contains about 20 90 in
habitants 1000 having been added by the refu-
gees and government officials since the war be-
gan. Being in the heart of the Gulf States. it
was supposed to be particularly safe, and, there
fore, well adapted for armorics, arsenals and
supply depots. 1t was moreover the center Of
the railway system of that section, whence men
and material could be adyantageously distribu-
ted to all points. Three main railroads divergc
from it; the road TO Chattanooga on the north
the Georgia Road, running east to Charleston
and the road on the south, which looks into
that leading to Montgomery and Pensacola on
the southwest, and into that running through
Macon to Savannah on the southeast The CITY
is laid out in a circle two miles in diameter 1t
forms, says recent refugee, one vast govern
meut storehouse. Here are located the machine
shops Of tie principal railroads, the most extern
siye rolling mill in the South, founderies, pistol
and tent factories, &C., sc. In addition, the
government have works for casting shot and
shell, making gun-carriages, cartridges, caps,
shoes, clothing, &c.

sold Hundred in Camp.

A letter from Gen. Sherman army down
about the kencsaw Mountains, says
At early dawn this morning July 81 be-
fore the troops were fully awakened from their
slumbers, the melodous notes of Old Hun
dred, given forth by one of the brigade bands,
rang out upon the air, and were echoed by the
grecn-cappcd hills beyond. Soldiers instantly
occupied in preparing the morning meal, stood
still and listened to the melody, and instinct
lively joined in it.
1t few from regiment to regiment brigade
after brigade took il up and ere the notes of the
band ceased to reverberate, five thousand voices
were raised in Praise God from whom all
blessings flow. \ moment later all was still.
Breakfast was taken; and so silently did the
veterans of many battle-6elds break camp and
fall into line that everybody remarked it, and
compImentcd them for their conduct / have
heard Old Hundred often when the huge lungs
of the organ seemed inspired with life and
congregation joined their melodious voices but
never until to-day did hear it sung with the
full inspiration of the soul"

THE ECHOES.

Iney Whisper OF Dattles WHICH heFceiy Snall
wage,
They tell Of drama, and this is the stage.
In the warm sunny cline where the cotton plant
grows
And the fair plains are decked with the bloom
of the rose;
Where for ages the black has in agony toiled,
While the lords of creation their hands have not
soied.
Where labor's degrading, and manhood is
crushed,
Where crimes are committed at which devils
blushed
Where man is a chattel, and woman a thing
Whose charms on the block of an auction they
sing;
Where the Hottest tic God has given to man,
Is distorted and broken as only slavery CAM
Where the maid is dishonored, the mother de-
filed
Where the boy sells his mother, the father his
child
Where dishonor and treason stalk free Ger the
earth;
Where slavery receives them and gives them
birth
Where the cries of the parted still ring in the
air,
Crying wild Ger the waters :" 0 where love,
tell where
Have they borne thee to linger in sorrow alone,
And mel know comfort, a joy or a home !"
Hank list to the echoes which, peal in despair
They tell one Of sorrow, they tell one of care,
Hush list to the echoes how wildly they rage
They tell me OF this, the first act on the stage.
Hank list to the echoes, the North with bound
Ger the bright belt OF states let the war-trumpet
sound
They flock from the workshop, they come from
the field
The sword OF their fathers the strong arm they
WELD.
They strike for that banner which once Ger the
land
Spread its folds meath which patriots in honor
could stand.
Hank list to the echoes sounding sternly to-day,
And this is the second great act in the play.
Hank list to the echoes which come Ger the
sea-
From the land of our fathers, the home Of the
free
IT'S night; on the bank of the river they sleep,
The men of the workshop, the sons of the deep
Not sound breaks the silence (they hear not
their foes)
But the steps of the sentry as his comrades re-
pose.
But bark hear the echoes ito arms p now
they say;
In O. moment we meet them IN battle array,
With the cry of America, God and the right ~
pity the wretches crying quarter tonight.
Then the battle is over, and DER the redoubts
We listen with JOY to the victors' loud shouts
Hark hear ye the echoes sounding glory to-
day,
And that this is the tragical act of the play.
Hush list to the echoes our banner now bright
Spreads its folds Ger our country, dispelling
the night
While DER the still waters the lannon's loud
tones
Cry out in their thunder, Come, come to your
homes
For the star-spangled banner shall wave DER

9th corps, including the colored troops aud a

DEATH OF ANOTHER BRAVE CHIPPEWA.

DEATH OF ANOTHER BRAVE CHIPPEWA.
Some days ago we gave the particulars Of the
death OF brave Chippewa chieftain of Burn
sides corps, who fell in one OF the actions in
Grants advance upon Richmond, after having
made many of the enemy bite the dust with his
unerring rifle.
Since then another brave officer of the same
tribe has given his life for his country-Lieut.
Garrett A. Graversat, company X, LIST Michigan
Sharphooters. Lieut.. Graversat was a young
man of extraordinary attachments, and was
He was Chippewa Of the Bear River band,
and with his father, enlisted in the LIST Michigan
Sharpshooters. His bravery and accomplish
ments endeared him to his comrades, and at
theirunanirnous request he was promoted to a
lieutenancy. In the fight before Petersburg,
June Is, he was in the trenches with his father,
and had the misfortune to see his father shot
dead by his side. He bore the body of his
parent from the trench to a safe spot, where,
weeping bitterly, he dug grave in the sand
with an old tin pan, and buried him. This
done, the devoted son dried his tears and re-
turned to the battle. His rifle told with terrible
precision among the rebel officers, until he fell
himself, wounded badly in the arm. Lieut. G.
was brought to Washington, where his arm was
amputated at the shoulder, which resulted in
his death. His body was embalmed by DR..
Thos. Holmes, and taken in charge by Hon.
gressional Cemetery to await the order of the
tribe. Lieut.. Ct. was but twenty-seven years OF
age; was highly educated, being master of sew
eral modern languages, beside the Chippewa
tongue; fine portrait and landscape painter,
and thorough musician. The tidiugs of his
death will be received with much regret by his
red brothers at Bear River.
