The TRIAL ORDEAL STILL BxrANr.-Medie-
val orc deals hav. not quite exploded, as is gen.
orally imagined-at least not yet among the
insurgents in Poland, as the following incident
willshow: - ISL .zH5 Z ND
Ia Jew, travelling in the neighborhcod Of
Sanwalk, was stopped by some Russian troops
to whom he had to give some information, and
was then allowed to depart without molesta-
ton. Soon afterward he was stopped by a
band Of insurgents, whose chief, without for
mality, informed him that he; must die for
having betrayed them to the Russians, In
vain the Jew protested his innocence, stating
that the Russians had inquired about the road
to some neighboring village not in any way
connected with the movements Of the insur-
gents. Only few minutes for prayer were
allowed him. Afterward rope was thrown
around his neck, and he was hung on strong
branch of . tree But, wonderful to say, the
branch broke. "The God is powerful; He
has delivered thee. Thou must have told the
truth. Go in peace" 90 a9s.a

Dear travelling.

The officers of the Rebel army are
beseeching their supeFiors for an In
crease of pay. What they get is, Of
course, magnificent in comparison with
the miserable stipend of the private
soldier, but by the rapid depreciation OF
the currency it has ceased TO be any re
compense for their services. An officer
whose letter was read in the Rebel Con
gress the other day declares that, even
when an officer gets q furlough to 60
home it is impossible for him to do so,
if he lives at distance, without other
means than the Government furnishes
him. Thus the writer remarks, in a
dismal, jolly spirit
"How can we who live some six or
seven hundred miles hence afford to pay
the railroad charges? According to
present rates q Brigadier General
monthly pay will only carry him from
Richmond to Augusta Colonel could
not go further than Charlotte, n C.; a
Lieutenant Colonel would have to lay
over at Raleigh; Major would not get
further than Danville; and as for a
poor Captain or Lieutenant, after pay
ing for bed in Richmond, they would
have just about enough left to buy a
ticket to the first water station"
Perhaps it will be good policy in the
Rebel Government 10 keep up these OBJ
stacles. So many of the furloughed
favorites of the chief officers have failed
to come back, after they had reached
their homes, that experience would
seem to Justify the placing of as many
difficulties as possible in the way Of their
travelling.

The Refugees.

The number Of these poor people
| arriving in our city continues large
They arrive here without being able to
bring any food with them to sub5ist
upon, and very little household stuff
A couple Of beds, or mattresses, a few
blankets, some cooking utensils and
chair or two generally comprise their
whele supply of the comforts of life
The great body of the refugees have
arrived here during the last two weeks
and in that time we have had the worst
weather that has visited ChattanoOga
for years, cold rains falling every day
and making the streets almost knee
deep in mud At first, the arrivals
we're so numerous that all could not be
accommodated in the camp, and as
the cars in which they came from
Georgia were needed, they were cons
PEELED 70 move their things out Of them
and do as they best could for the time

buildings in the depot yard Atpresent
nearly ali OF them are gathered into

The following IS the speech delivered
by Colonel Charles G Greene, the editor
of the Boston Post--the leading DEM
ocrste journal of New Englsnd-at
the late banquet in Boston, in honor Of
Captain WinslOw, of the Kearsarge:
Colonel Greene, in response to the
Presidents call, said the press often
sends forth discordant music; but he
had no doubt the harmony would be
perfect on the morrow in sounding the
great chorus of praise to the glorious
achievement of the Kearsarge. After
the food Of eloquence that had been
poured this evening-sufficient, one
would think, 20 float the whole Govern
ment marine--he could not be expect
ed to add one drop to the patriotic sea;
but he could not refrain from express
ing his deep pleasure at uniting in q
festival where there is so perfect = unity
Of sentiment; where dIsputation was
not allowed to intrude its wrinkled
front, and where no feeling flied the
heart bat that of joyous gratitude. In
periods of party excitement he said,
we often wax very Wroth and call each
other names of ebony hue and Of me-
talic hardness but the cause of contrO-
Versy passed, we find our blood akin.
and that we al hold the same national
inheritSnce-are heirs to the same na-
tional destiny. No man, no class Of
MEXICAN monopOlize the starry Gag
of the Union; il is the nations ban
ner-the emblem of a nation Of free.
men--its tFiumphs are national glory.
IL is meet, therefore, that we express our
thanks in glowing words 70 those who
beneath its folds contribute to the
treasury Of our common honor. In the
present festivities may we forget the
family jars just passed, and, ike a band
of brothers, only see in the event wa
nos celebrate new lustre and increased
strength given 10 cur fathers house
the great Temple of Liberty erected
BY their valOr, cemented with their
blood, and preserved by the bravery Of
their children. Would TO Heaven, sir.
that the echoes Of applause We now
offer for gallant deeds were for such
victory as would draw cheering response
from each Of the thirty five States Of
this great country that no pang should
agonize one American heart that the
blow struck was like unto that which
taught foreign foe "the might that
slumbers in a freeman's arm But,
unhappily-most unhsppily-suoh Is
not the case. The present necessity for
spreading death over sea and land is an
awiCl, lamentable one; a necessity
that has arrsyed in terrible combat one
portion of our house against another
portion but, like the Roman father,
the Government, while it administers
justice with throbbing heart and weep
ing eyes, cannot withhold the ehastise-
ment It's integrity must be vindicated,
its authority must be sustained, It's
Constitution must be perpetuated, and
the Union of the States must be re-es-
tablished, atWhsteVer cost TheTefore,
sir, | offer as a toast
"The Navy and Army Of the United
States-May the one drive piracy from
the water, and the other treason from
the land"
