roRIAL .roo.--There is nothing like being
behind the scenes. Outsiders haveno idea
Of the system of political espionage conduct
cd in this section Of country. Nothing of
the most trivial character. can escape the
notice of these hired detectives. "A week
or twoago, we had occasion to 60 out into
the mountain counties on business, and
while there We happened to meet Q friend
who expects to support Mcclellan for Presi'
dent During the conversation, the Chics7
90 Convention was mentioned, together
with other topics, and We thought ne moro
of the matter. A day or two afterwards
an ex-pedagogue might have been seen on
his way to this city, apparently greatly ex-
cited. Arriving here, 9 council Of the
Custom House clique was Immediately
summoned. The pedagogical editor of the
Fairmont edition Of the Wheeling organ of
Iawlessness announced to the assembled of.
ticials that the peace of the country was
threatened; that a stranger had been in the
mountains making arrangements for the
Chicago Convention; if this thing was per-
mitted their days Of greenback prosperity
was at an, end. Fora few moments all
wss excitement, and from the looks of their
countenancss an outsider would have
thought the day of judgement was at hand,
aud they were about to receive the reward
of their doings. After considerable consul-
tation, Notwithstanding the rainy weather,
the Fairmont editor was furnished with a
horse and buggy, and requested to Snake
himself scarce" for short time until they
should decide what to do. Can any one
think Of oui position at that moment when
our destiny depended upon the decision of
this sioddy body without feelings Of CON-
miseration? "Send him tothe bastile," said
the leader. Suppress him, as a military
necessity" said another. SWELL says
third I'VE broke up the anti-free State
Convention at Parkersburg last Spring, and
We must squelch this thing immediately; if
we can't do it, and the people are permit
ted to speak out, We are done for" After
an animated discussion, it was determined
to write an article, says one 'shall it ap,
pear in our Wheeling paper firstP ooh,
no, says another 'let it appear at Fair
mont frst--make the people believe the
mountain counties arc moving-and then
copy it in our Wheeling mouthpiece, as aos
hare done heretofore" This suggestion was
unanimously adopted, and by this time the
editor in the buggy was at, the Custom
House awaiting further orders. Taking the
article, and receiving his weekly stipend,
the editor of the Fairmont National started
home. The article appeared in due time,
according to contract, and was copied as
usual into our morning cotemporary.-
Such, in brief, is the way they manage
things in this neghborhood. ~. 4

vented our noticing the doings of this con-
clave until this morning. 10 "a

How M1Iton spent the nav.

At his meals he never took much wine
or other fermented liquor, Although not
fagtidious in his food, yet his taste seems to
have been delicate and refined, like his
other senses, and he had a preference for
such viands as were Of an agreeable flavor.
In his early years he used TO sit up late at
his studies, but in his later years he retired
every night at nine o'clock, and lay till
four, in the summer and five in the winter
If not then disposed to rise, he had some
one to sit at his bedside and read to him.
When he rose he had chapter of the He
brew Bible read for him, and then, after
breakfast, studied till twelve. BE then dined,
teok some exercise for an hour, generally
In a chair in which he used TO swing
himself, and afterward played on the organ
or bass vidl, and either sung himself or re-
ouested his wife TO sing, who, as he said,
had a good voice but no ear. BE then re-
Eumed his studies until six, from which
hour until eight he couversed with all who
come to visit him. He finally took a light
supper, smoked pipe Of tobacco, and
drank q glass of water; and afterward he
retired TO rest. Like many other poets,
Milton found the stiffness, warmth, and
recumbency of bed favorable to compost
ton and his wife said, before rising OF a
morning, he often dictated to her twenty
OF thirty verees. A favorite position of his
when debating his verces, we are told, was
that of sitting with one Of his legs over an
arm Of his chair. His wife related that
he used to compose chiefly in winter.

Presidon1 Davis Visit to the Army Of
Geargia.

A correspondent. t..ofthe Augusts Georgia.
Sentinel, in sletter from the front describing
the recent visit Of President Davis to the
army, says;
It is useless, and can do no good, to dis
guise the fact that the President 5 reception
SOas not an enthusiastic one. On the eo7tTa-
~, It sgas cold There t0as 80 disrespcct
manifested, neither S0as there any e1thaIsi-
ass.-no1ss of that general er.9Tsssion Of
personal ad0liration fo7. 'the man" that
Characterized the visit made after the battle
of CHiekamasga. The reception this time
Was given 70 the president of the Oonfed-
erate States" As such no compliment can
be made of it. And if any would hsve it
otherwise, they must at al times remember
that this army, as well as all the armies OF
the confsderacy, is made up Of thinking
men, and not machines, and govern them
selves accordingly.
The time of the President was fully en-
ployed in interviews with the commander
in-chief, the corps commanders reviewing
the troops and finally in a protracted
meeting with sll the generals Of the army.
From the outset It S0as PaLpabLs that gsner-
al dissatisfaction pTecalLed, bit igHoraacs
of the cause l0as expressed. Delicacy, I
suppose, sealed the mouths of the corps
Commanders. BIT tbs oppression Of the

feelings; and so marked 4oas the change Of
their conduct anrizg the grand regiei0 as

was nothing concealed. The general tOish
for a change of commanders aOas made k7'o'07I
and BIZ some positively urged that change
lDas necessary to insure tie morale of the
taoogs. There was no enemity displayed
towards General Hood. All his eminent
soldiery qualities were admitted; but the
naked truth that another would better serve
to satisfy the wishes OF the men, conoilate
existing differences between officers, and
inspire greater confidence throughout the
whole army, was bluntly avowed. The
President was no longer N Ignorance. At
the same meeting preferences were express

An old Man who has shot sixty Per-
sons.

An ola Man VINO mas ShOt Sky ESE-
The Cairo correspondent OF the St. Louis
Republican tells this story:
At one point Of the Tennessee River
there is a place that has become terror to
steamboat men, and in passing it, they al
ways find some place 10 secure themselves
until the boat passes. AT this point an old
man, sixty odd years of age, has made his
headquarters for long time, and the pc
culiar "crack of his gun Is familiar to
river men, and sends thrill of terror
whenever it is heard. Ha has long, hea-
W barreled gun, originally squirrel rife,
which has been bored out three different
times, until now the largest thumb can be
easily turned in the muzzle, and the aim
Of the old man is one of deadly certainty.
The murdar0us sentinel is always faithfully
upon his watch, and his retreat has SO far
baffied all attempts to catch him, frGm he
fact that he is surrounded with dense
swamps and deep ravines. Well informed
river men estimate that this old man has
murdered in this way not less than sixty
persons; and yet he performs his murder
Gus work with as much esTnestness and
vigor as when he first commenced.
