A SINGULAR CAsE.-The Springfield Union
states hat Joseph P. Coburn, color-bearer oft
10th Regiment, who came home Saturday, has
been almost an idiot for about six weeks having
lost entirely the power of speech. On the 18th of
May shell burst over his head, piece of which
struck his cap, but inflicted no apparent injury
upon the head. Ever since that day he has not
spoken a word, and has the appearance of being
in a state of idiotcy. There is wild, almost
unnatural stare about his eyes, but he clings to
the colors with the utmost tenacity. He belongs
in Williamsburg, and has a wife and two chill
dren.

A PICTURE OF THE PIRATE SEMMEs.-The
Southampton correspondent of the London Ne,0s
says:
"Capt. Semmes is thin, wiry -built man,
with stern and determined air. He is about
fifty years of age, with a SMALL red-pointed face
and beard and moustache in the American
style. He had on very old naval officers cap,
and English naval lieutenants jacket.
THE editor of Maine paper says: " we met
a soldier the other day minus a leg, who said he
should not have lost his leg if he had not disot
beyed orders. His company being ordered to
retreat, he told his comrades he wasn't hired for
that purpose. and kept blazing away at the ene-
my, when he received ball in his leg, which
was afterwards amputated
GOVERNMENT ExPENDIrUREs.-The official

four millions, so recklessly talked about by in

regular receipts amounting to $4,000 daily.
A SOLDIER from the army of the Potomac pas
sed through Springfield, Mass, a few days ago,
homeward bound, who had fifteen Wounds
He lay two three days the battlefield
wounded and unable to get away, between the
fires of the two sides, and the larger number Of
wounds were received in that position.
DEAD mule belonging to Memphis citizen
was being hauled out of the lines the other day.
when a bayonet-thurst revealed the fact that the
carcass contained go 900 percussion caps guam

which some Rebel sympathizer had taken this
means of smuggling.
THE REBELS ISSUING HALF RArIoNs-Refu-
gees say the rebel Government have taken the
food question under their charge, and issues half
rations to the people. The whole country south
Of Richmond is being ravaged by the rebels
themselves, and everything is being hauled into
Richmond to be devoured.
The sum of $4,000 has been stolen from a
Paymaster attached to Sherman's army. The
money was in a safe, which, with Others had
been under guard at the old Tennessee Bank
building. 1t is believed that a clue exists by
which the thief and money will be found.
AN editor in the western part of Maine says
hat the only reason why his house was not
blown away during recent gale, was because
there was heavy mortgage upon it.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HAND.-TwO charming
women were discussing one day what it is which
constitutes beauty in the hand They differed
in opinion as much as the shape of the beautiful
member whose merits they were discussing. A
gentleman friend presented himself, and by COM
mon consent the question was referred to him.
1t was a delicate matter. He thought of Paris
and the three goddesses. CHANGING from one to
the other of the beautiful white hands presented
for examination, he replied at last: 81 give it
up; the question is too hard for me; but ask
the poor, and they will tell you that the most
beautiful hand in the world is the hand that
gives"

The REBEL SHARPsHOoTERs.-Our informa-
ton from Georgia is to the effect that the efforts
of the rebel sharpshooters to pick off Off
GERS is fearfully successful, much more so, in
deed, than ever before. Most of them use a
recently imported Whitworth gum which is said
to be superior to anything in by our forces
1t is understood that the rebels pay as much as
$500 apiece for these guns. We do not know the
kind of money used, but suppose gold or ster-
ling exchange, as Johnny Bull from whom they
were purchased, would probably insist good
money. One of the guns was captured the other
side of Resaca some time since, in this way:-
A sharpshsoter (rebeD climbed into tree, and
tied handkerchief around his waist to prevent
his falling in case he should be wounded. The
rebel was not more than comfortably fixed be-
fore Federal sharpshooter fired a shot through
his neck and instantly killed him. He hung in
the tree until our lines extended to the spot,
when he was cut down and his gun taken.
Maj Norton, Col. Wiles, Capt. Sheridan and
many others were shotwith the Whitworth rifle.

The crooked nature of the human mind
is seen in the following specimen of Logic
run mad. The brillisnoy Of the argument
would make old Aristotle himself, were he
yet among US, scratch his head and open
his eyes. Who will deny the magnificent
conclusion;
To say that slavery caused the war is
about as true as to ssy that g mans watch
caused the pickpOcket to steal it; or that
mans land causes others to trespass on
it; or that mans life causes another to
take it. And our wise lsw-mskers might,
with as much propriety, undertake to stop
trespssses, thefts, and murders, by des-
troying chsttels, land and life, as to pre-
vent civil strife, war, and diseordi by
sbolishing slavery.
