The mountain Democrat., 1864-01-02

A YOUNG lawyer who had long paid his
court to lady without much advancing
his suit, accused her one day of being in
sensible to the power Of love.
1T does not follow, she archly replied,
that am so because am not to be won
by the power of attorney
Forgive me- replied the Suitor, but
you should remember that all volaries of
Cupid are solicitors

very dear, said he, addressing it.
In vain did his wife try to soothe him,
and obtain an explanation.
Not now. Jane he sSid, sadly, to-
morrow we shall see. Tomorrow / will
tell you all.
Early next morning he went to General
Vernon'S house. Although he walked re-
solutely, his mind was sadly troubled. -
How could he.present himselfH In what
way would he be receivedl How could
ne speak to the general without risking
the, reception Of some !oGG. Or wcra E'hicH
he could never pardonI The very meet
ing with johnson was to be dreaded.
He knocked, another servant opened
the dOor, and instantly gave him admis.
sion. This servant, at all events, thought
he, knows nothing Of what has passed.
Will the general receive him? Yes, he is
uShcred into his dressing room. Without
daring to raise his eyes, the poor, distress.
ed man began to speak in . low, hurried
voice:
General Vernon you thought my con
duct strange last night. and painful and
most humiliating AZ its explanation will
he. ! feel it due to you and myself to make
it,
His auditor tried to speak, but Dutton
went on, without needing the Interrupt
ton.
MY misery is at its height, that is my
only excuse. My wife and our four little
ones ar actually Starvinpp
My friend! 7 cried the general, with
emotion. But Dutton proceeded:
i cannot describe my feelings yeSter-
day while seated at your luxuriOns table.
| thought of my poor Jane depriving her
self of a mOrsel Of bread to give it to her
baby; Of my little, pale thin Anne, whose
delicate appetite rejects the coarse food
which is all we can give her, and in an
evil hour transferred two pates from my
plate to my pocket, thinking they would
tempt my little darling to eat. should
have died of shame had these things been
produced from my pocket, and your SER
want and guests made witnesses Of my
cruel poverty. Now, general, you know
all, and but for the fear Of being suspected
by you Of crime, my distress should
never have been known!'
"A life of unblenShed honor replied
his friend, has place1you above the reach
OF suspicion besides, look here Y And
he showed the missing watch. 1t is |,
continued he, who must ask pardon of
YOU all. In a cit Of absence Of mind.
dropped it into my waistcoat pocket,
where, in Johnson's presence, discover
ed it whilA undressing
If | had only known = murmured poor
Dutt0n.
Don't regret what has occurred, said
the general, pressing his hand kindly
1T has been the means Of acquainling me
with what should never have been con
ccaled from an old friend, who, please God,
will lind some means TO serve you
In few days Captain Dutton received
another invitation to Gine with the gen.
eral. All the former guests were Assem-.
hlrd and th'ir host, with ready tact, took
occasion to apologize for his strange for
getiulncSS about the watch. Captain Dut.
ton found paper within the folds of his
napkin; it was his nomination to an hon
"rablr and lucrative post, which inSur, d
competence and comfort to himself and
lis family.

CAMS AND LossHs.-According to the re-
port Of General Ilalieck, Gencral,in. Chief, the
captures by tho Union armies during the
year, covered by his statements, were as fol
lows: Colors, 81; prisoners, ss,Ts5; guns,
2G6; small arms, "A, ,S2g; boats, 1865 cattle,
5,G43; horses, 1875. Besides, in one place,
large stores in another, 4.4o0 pounds Of
powder and 100, 900 rounds OF cartridges; and
W smother, in the language of General Grant,
arms and munitions Of war for an army Of
sixty thousand men," Our losses during the
same period figure up thus: Killed, 10,079
missing, 2o,677; wounded. 81, ,l7S; guns. AZ;
small arms, $40. And 1926 men report.
cd under the heads or "our losses.' "killed
and wounded" or "killed, wounded and mis-
sing" This would place our total loss oi
men at 92,7TO.
Itwou'd oe interesting to know exactly
how many men are missing" from the rebel
ranks, as well as tho list Of killed and wound
cd. These facts will, however, probably
never be known, as the rebel authorities
have no scruple about suppressing the truth
whenever it will be too damaging to theil
cause.
