The Spring Campaign.

Gen. Halleck has expressed his be-
lief that the last grand and desperate
effort will be made in the Spring by
the rebels to transfer the real fight
ing to Northern soil. They cannot
subsist their armies in their own des-
olated region, from all the most fruit
full parts of which slaves have been
withdrawn into the interior cotton
States. 1t is difficult to determine
whether their new campaign will be
due North into Pennsylvania again,
or across Kentucky into Ohio, using
Longstreet's present position as q
base Of operations. All the secret
advices received at the War Depart
ment show that a Peter the-Hermit
crusade against the North is now be-
ing preached throughout the Confed-
eracy, and that they are conscripting
into the ranks with ruthless violence
everything human that is able to bear
arms

\ FATAL disease has appeared in
aud around Rome, Georgia. Within
three weeks twenty persons have
died of it, including thirteen of the
Cherokee Legion eucamped by. The
Rome Courier says:-The physicians
call it "Menengetis,' and say its pa
thology is an inflammation of the
base of the brain and the spinal
nerves. The PATIENTS attacked with
a chill, accompanied with a severe
pain in the head, particularly in the
back part, and in the spine. The
head becomes drawn back, and the
patient experiences pain in the neck,
similar in kind to the lockjaw, and
generally becomes deranged in mind.
The disease generally proves fatal in
II to 36 hours. The disease is not
considered contagious, though it may
possibly prove epidemical.

The Smelling Of Charleston.

The Charleston Mercury says -
The weary spell of rain, cold, and
endless mud through which We are
passing seems in no wise to diminish
the ardor with which Gen. GILLMoRE S
artillerists maintain their fire upon
the hated scradle of the rebellion. -
Wednesday was another day of cen
tinuous bombardment. Throughout
Tuesday nightthe loud rushing sound
and FINAL crash Of the shells was in
cessant, and the dismal dawn of yes
terday was ushered in by the same
terrible music. We have no authentic
statement of the number ofshots fired
AGAINST the city. One account gives
the number fred between six o'clock
Tnesday morning and six o'clock
Wednesday evening at one hundred
and sixty: but this estimate is pro-
badly much below the mark. The
fire is still kept up, apparently from
two guns only-one lOO-pounder
Parrott rife and small Wizard rifle.
The shots from the former are the
only ones that can be heard for any
considerable distance.
The intervals between the reports
have varied from five to twenty min
utes. Eight minutes, We THINK
would be a fair average. Our bat
teries have been slowly replying to
the enemy's fire. There was but
one casualty in the city-one man
being slightly injured. The shelhng
was attended by the usual amount OF
damage to property in those c. cases IN
which the enemy's aim was effective.

A. Delightful Legend.

There is charming tradition con-
nected with the site on which the
temple Of Solomon was erected, 1t
is said to have been occupied in COM
mon by two brothers, one of whom
had family; the other had none.
On the evening succeeding harvest,
the wheat having been gathered in
separate shocks, the elder brother
said to his wife: "My younger broth
er is unable to bear the burden and
heat Of the day; will arise, take of
my shocks and place with his, with
out his knowledge" The younger
brother being actuated by the same
benevolent motive said within him
self: "My elder brother has family
and | have none; | will arise take of
my shocks and place them with his
without his knowledge. Judge of
their astonishment when, on the
following morning, they found their
respectiveshoc undiminished. This
course of events transpired several
nights, when each resolved to stand
guard and solve the mystery. They
did so, when, on the following night
they met each other half way between
their respective shocks with arms full.
Alas! in these days how many would
sooner steal their brothers. whole
shock than add to it single sheaf.

A Miraculous Escape.

Budleigh Salterton was some six
years ago the scene of new thrilling
incident. Six infant children, one
Wednesday morning, got into a boat
on the beach, and a mischievous boy
showed it off. The boat drifted away
to sea before the children were missed.
Terrible was the agony ofthe mothers
when they knew it The preventive
men went off in all directions: every
boat was on the lookout till far into
the night. Daylight returned, and
still there were no tidings of the
helpless children; the day wore and
still nothing was heard about them
they were lost either in the expanse
of wide ocean, or buried within its
Unsuitable depth A Plymouth traw-
Ter, fishing on the following morning
early, saw something floating at q
distance; he bore down to it, and dis
covered it to be boat-and in the
bottom the six children cuddled in
like a nest Of birds fast asleep, God
having mercifrlly given them that
blessed solace after a day of terror
and despair. The trawler took them
aboard, feasted them with bread and
cheese, and gladdened their despair
ing little hearts with promise to
take them home. Between 3 and 4
o'clock in the afternoon, the trawler
was seen in the offing with the boat
astern. All eyes were turned toward
him, the best spy-glass in the town
was rubbed again and again, and
at last they fairly made out that it
was the Identical boat-none to be
seen in the sloop. Intense was the
agony of suspense, and all alike
shared with the parents. At last
the trawler came in, and the word
went around "they're all safe, and
many stout-hearted men burst into
tears, women shrieked with joy, and
became almost frantic with their in
supportable happiness.
1t was, indeed, a memorable day
and a prayer, eloquent for its rough
sincerity, was offered up to Almighty
God, who, in His infinite mercy, had
spared these Innocent children from
the perils and terrors of the sea dur
ing that fearful night. Five of these
children were under five years of age,
the sixtd being but nine years DID,

A Model Composition.

The boys and girls who are per-
picked to know what to write about
and how to write it, when required
by their teachers to bring "a compo-
sition,'' we commend the following
model:
WINTER. Winter is the coldest
season of the year, because it comes
in winter In some countries winter
comes in summer, and then it is very
pleasant. l wish winter came in
summer in this country. Then |
could go skating barefoot and slide
down the hill in linen trowsers. We
could suow-ball without our fingers
being cold-and men who 60 sleigh
riding would not have to stop at eV-
cry tavern to warm, as, they now do.
1t SHOWS more in winter than in any
other season of the year. This is be-
cause so many cutte.S and sleghs are
made at that time.
Ice grows much better in winter
than in summer, which was an in
3 convenience before the discovery of
ice-houses. Water that is left out of
doors, is apt to freeze at this season.
Some people take in their wells and
.=cistesss, on--a-@eell night and keep,
them by the fire, and they don't
freeze
Skating is great fun in winter
The boys get their skates on when
The creek is frozen over, and race,
play tag, fall down and break their
head, break through the ice and get
wet al ovca,-they get drowned
sometimes-and enjoy themselves in
many other ways. A boy once bor-
rowed my skates aud ran off with
them. and | could not catch him.
Mother said jud 5ment would over
take him one day. Judgment will
have to be pretty lively on its legs if
it does, for he runs bully.
There ain t much sleigh-riding ex-
cept in winter-folks don't seem to
care much about it in summer. The
grown-up boys and girls like to 60
sleigh-riding. The boys generally
drive with one hand and help the
girls hold their rnuffs with the other.
Brother Bob let me go along little
way once when he took Clary Crane
out sleigh-riding, and thought he
maid more attention to holding the
muff than he did to holding the
horses.
Snow-balling is another winter
sport. have snow-balled in the
summer, and didn't get my fingers
cold bit. But we used hard stones
and apples 1t isn't so amusing as
it is in the winter, somehow.
But enough. | have dashed of
these little things about winter, while
sister is getting ready for school.
Good bye, NEDDY.
