Colonel Bowles. of the End Indiana
during the Mexican war, was in the city
yesterday. The old gentleman looks
hale and hearty. He has been vilifed
by those who know nothing of what be
did on the bloody field Of Buena Vista,
but like patriot and q soldier as be is,
he las survived all calumnies. The
Colonel will remain in the city day or

How to Walk.


In graceful human step the heel is
raised before the foot is lifted from the
ground, sf the foot were a part Of a
wheel rolling forward; and the weight cf
the body, supported by the muscles Of the
calf Of the leg, rests for a time on the
fore part of the foot and toss. There is
then bending of the foot in certain
degree. But when strong wooden shoes
are used, or any shoe so stiff that it viii
not yield and allow thes bending of the
foot, the heel is not raised at all until the
whole foot raises with it; so that muscles
Of the calf are scarcely used, and in con
sequence, soon dwindle in size and almost
disappear. Many English farm servants
wear heavy, stiff shoes, and in London it
Is striking thing to see the drivers of
country wagons with fine rubust persons
in the upper part, but with legs that are
Heshless spindles, producing a gait that is
almost aWkard and unmanly The broth
ers of these men who are otherwise en-
plOyed, are not so misshapen. What
pity, that for the trife saved, fair nature
should be thus deformed An example
of this kind is seen in Paris. There, as
the streets have few or no payements, and
the ladies have to walk almost constantly
on tip-tOe the great muscle Of the
calf, has given conformation Of the limb
and foot to match with the Partisan bellies
proudly challenged all the world--not
probably that it is defect in their city to
which the pecuGarity of their form is in
part Owing.-Scientifc american.

The mghIander's Prayer.

A Scotch Highlander, who served in
the first disastrous war with the Ameri-
can colonies, was brought one evening
before his commanding officer, charged
with the capital offence Of being IN com
munication with the enemy. The charge
could not well be preferred at a more dan
gerOus time. Only a few weeks had
elapsed since the execution Of Major An
dre, and the indignation Of the British,
exasperated almost to madness by the
eEent, had not yet cooled down. There
was however, no direct proof against the
Highlander He was seen in the gray of
the twilight stealing out from a clump of
underwood that border on one ofthe huge
forests which, at that period, covered
much the greater part of the United
Provinces. and which, IN the Immediate
neighborhoOd of the British, sWarmed
with the troops Of Washington. All the
rest was mere inference and conjecture.
The paOT mans defence was summoned
up in few words He had stolen away
from his fellows, he said to spend an hour
in private prayer.
Have you been in the habit of spend
ing hours in private prayer sternly ask
ed the officer, himself a Scotehman and
a Presbyterian
The Highlander replied in the affrma-
tive.
"Then, said the other, drawing out
his watch, "neEer n all your life had
you more need of prayer than now
kneel down, sir, and pray aloud, that We
may all hear you.
The Highlander, in the expectation of
instant death knelt down. His prayer
was that of one long acquainted with the
appropriate language In which the Chris
tain address bis God. It breathed Of i'm
minent peril, and earnestly implOred the
Divine interposition7 in the threatened
1anger-the help Of him who in times of
is strong to deliver. 1t ex-

When citizen wants to expatriate himself
he can do 50 by the consent of the sovereign.
want Congress to pass an act to allow any
citizen to expatriate himself, and to declare
its assent to such expatriation, such citizens
never more to vote until re-naturalized"
The General spoke in glowing terms Of the
conduct Of the Missouri troops in the Army
Of the Cumberland, frequently appealing to
Col Conrad and other officers to verify his
statements. The Army of the Cumberland
crossed the Alps Of Tennessee, but did not
hnd the fertile plains Of Italy 70
bivouc upon. Previous to the battle of
Chickamauga, he telegraphed to Gen. Halleck
to Know whether any portion Of the rebels Of
Virginia had been sent southwark. and Gener-
al Halleck replied that no troops Of Lees ar
my hod been sent in that direction exceptua
few regiments for Charleston J. TCries of
shame Shame from the officers In conse-
quence Of this false information, the Army Of
the Cumberland encountered superior num-
bers; for Longstreet from Lees Army, was
there with over twenty thousand men, and
the whole force of the enemy was at least
ninety threethousand, while the Union forces
were not more than ifty-ive thousand Still
the Army of the Cumberland held its ground
and the position taken is still maintained.

Army RadiCallSm.

The St. Louis Democrat of the 18th contain
ed an interesting account Of q celebration in
that city on the 10th, Of the battle and victory
Of Pea Ridge, whence we quote rs follows:
Gen. Mcneil responded, and in the course of
his remarks said that hereafter the elective
fanchise shonld be extended to all who fight
for the country, without regard to nationality
or color TGens. Gray andRosecrans-' That's
right. The foreigners among us who, in the
hour Of the oountry's peril, took out their ex-
elnption papers on the plea of alenage,
should never be allowed to Gust vote at any
election.
Gen. Rosecrans said he fully concurred in
what had been said about black soldiers. Seen.
Mcneil has told you that be thought that every
black man that fought for the country should
have q vote so do $50 do L. lie said he
hada black man for his servant Samuel Mar
shall), who had won his freedom by fighting
for the country at Fort Moultre in South
Carolina. So we have the example Of the
South itself in freeing slaves who fight for the
country. Gen. Rosecrans gave his views Of
reconstruction Of the Union. He said that
whenever a State passes an act renouncing
its allegiance to the Government, we are oblig-
ed to recognize it as the act of the State
that it has abdicated-and no two hundred
men in State can act for the whole. The peo-
ple still remain citizens Of the United States.
and are 10 be governed as citizens Of Territory

form a STATE, and be readmitted into the
Union. {" am not in favor Of a central des-
potism, but Of the unity of the nation and

Leisure.

Leisure is never so enjoyable as when it
comes unexpectedly, ike the visit of a long
absent friend. And to be sweet it must
be short. Too much Of it Injuries the
appetite. Luxurious as warm bath, it Is
also. as enerYating. He who finds himself
suddenly poss ssed of leisure in great
plenty, will do well by setting him
self seriously to work. Systematized ae-
tiVity is enc of the best preservatives
against 'dull care" Leisure is but a sauce
of life, which helps to make work more
palatable and digestible--the one apart
from the other soon becomes disgusting.
Men Of leisure, as they are called, are most
commonly restless, fgety and VI happy men.
The kindest thing which can be done to
them is to deprive them if possible, by
hook or crook, Of the greater part of their
leisure. At first sight, it does not seem
so, but very short experience will prove
that it is so. Much leisure infers the alb
senee Of a purpose, and life without pur-
pose is a perpetual burden.

Gray's Elegy in a Country Church
yard.

Mr.. GRAY had written his Elegy in
the year 1850, and he communicated
it to his friend Horace Walpole, who
showed it about for some time in man
,uscript, and it was received with the
applause it so justly deserved. 1t
found its way into magazine, and
this was the means of first making
him known to the public. We may
fancy his fastidous and shrinking mind
would Beannoyed blythe circumstances
which he thus relates in as-letter to
Walpole ;-"Cambridge, February II,
175L-Yesterday I had the misfor-

tell me that an ingenious poem called

that they are informed the excellent
author Of it is ], by name; and that
they beg not only his indulgence but
the honor Of his correspondence, etc.
As 1 am not at all disposed either
to be indulgent, or to correspond as
they desire, I have but one way left

upon me, and therefore am obliged to

Gray said, ''The stanzas have been
so applauded, it is quite a shame to
repeat it. I mean not to be modest;
but it is a shame for those who have
said such superlative things about
them, that can not repeat them"
An early tribnte tothe merits ofthe
Elegy occurs in an anecdote related
by Professor Robinson, of Edinburgh,
then a mid-shipman on board the
"Royal William" one Of the feet en-
gagged in the taking of Quebec. He
happened to be on duty in the boat in
which General Wolfe went to visit
some Of his posts the night before the
battle, which was expected to be deci-
sive of the fate of the campaign. The
evening was fine; and the scene consi-
dering the work they we're engaged in,
and the morning to which they we're
looking forward, sufficiently impress
sive. AS they rowed along, the Gen
eral, with much feeling, repeated
nearly the whole of Gray's EIegy
(which had appeared not long before,
and was yet but little known to an
officer who sat with him in the stern of
the boat, adding, as he concluded, that
che would prefer being the author Of
that poem to the glory of beating the
French tomorrow" - Brawnlow's

Jocks Prayer Answered.

Once upon a time there resided in
Peebleshire, Scotland, a half-witted
sort of a man who had anotion that he
was rather religious, and who was in
the habit of saying his prayers in a
field behind a turf-dyke. One day
this individual was followed to his re-
tirement by some evil disposed per-
sons, who, screening themselves on the
opposite side, prepared to- listen to
what he shonld say. Jock commenc-
ed his deTotions, and amongst other
things, expressed his conviction that
he was a very great sinner, and that
even were turf-dyke at that moment to
fall upon him, it would be no more
than he deserved. No sooner had he
said this when the persons on the op-
posite side pushed the dyke over upon
him. Scrambling out from amongst
the debris, Jock was heard saying,
"Hech, sirs +! it's an awfu' world this
a body can not say thing in joke
but it's ta'en in earnest"

Keep Stock of the Meadows.

Many meadows are seriously injured by
stock in the spring months. They are per-
mitted to run upon them when the frost is
leaving the ground, which is soft and easily
cut by the hoofs Of horses and cattle. The
seanty picking they get will not begin to COM
pensate for the damage they cause the mead
ows, When the ground is soft, as it is al
ways in the spring, stock should be carefully
excluded. 1t is also very bad policy to pas
ture meadows in the fall. Every sprig gis gen
orally eaten of, and the ground and roots are
left cold and naked. If the growth after cut
ting the grass had been left, it would have
acted as a mulching, keeping the roots warm

In this letter Mr. Loyejoy says:
81 write you, although i'll health COM

to express to you my qualification at the
position you have taken in reference to Mr..

that if he is not the best conceivable
President, he is the best possible. have
known something of the facts inside dur

he has been just as radical as any Of his
Cabinet. And although he does not do
everything that you or / would like, the
question recurs, whether it is likely We
can elect a man who would. Il Is evident
that the great mass Of Unionists prefer
him for recollection; and it seems to me
certain that the providence of God, dur.

Sent to Fort Warren.

The telegraph informs US that Lieu
tenant Colonel 'Sanderson has been
sent to Fort Warren"
This gentleman who, it is charged,
and in such a way that it can not well
be doubted, betrayed his comrade
prisoners to the Rebel authorities at
Richmond, in their attempts to escape,
and for doing so, he was better treat
ed by the Rebels than other prisoners.
Since his return to the North, he also
affected to deny the established facts
relative to the brutal treatment of
Union soldiers in rebel prisons. The
statement Of Colonel Streight, abund-
antly borne out by those ofmany other
sufferers, do not leave Sanderson to
any credit. Fort Warren is probably
the proper place for him-Or some
place of severer punishment. He is
doubtless a Rebel spmpathizer, of the
McClellan-Fitz John Porter style,
and very likely promised the Rebels
before be left Richmond to Counter
act" some of the uhfaYorable impress
sions at the North, in regard to their
treatment of our soldiers. We hope
his case will be thoroughly investiga-
ted and ventilated. The man that
would do what he Is accused OF doing,
is not a particle too good or 700 loyal
to be a traitor, under favorable circum-
stances.
