Battlefield Gossip.

A moment before General SedgwIck was
struck he remarked TO some soldier who
stood near him and who enVied very
natural disposition to keep their heads
out of range of the rebel musketry:-
"Don't duck, boys, don't duck, they can't
hit an elephant"
When General Stuart was captured he
declined to take the proffered hand Of
Hancock-it was against his principles
He also refused, in a very ungentleman
ly manner, to partake of refreshments Of
fered to him by Union officers.
General johnson was brought to head
quarters, on the horse of an orderly
When brought into the presence of Gen.
Meade, the latter extending his hand to
johnson, said:-
"How are you Johnson"
"How do you do, General Meade?"
was Johnson's reply.
They then both shook hands and took
seats. General Grant then approached
the party, when General Meade said,
General johnson, this is Geueral Grant"
Salutations were exchanged and the party
were again seated.
General Seth Williams was next intro
duced to General johnson. The meeting
between these latter-named officers was
very cordial. During the time that John
son remained at headquarters he constant
ly eyed General Grant, surveying the lit
tie giant from head to foot.
No doubt of his capture exists, for he IS
sitting on log near fire before me, at
the present moment, in conversation with
some of our Generals.
He is stout, rugged-l looking man, with
sandy hair, moustaches, and, apparently
about forty years of age.

Rebel Murders and CrueIfies.

Hundreds of men have actually been
hung aud shot in Upper East Tennessee
b5 Longstreets thieves and assassins.
Men of character are coming in who tes
tify that they are knowing to the facts.
Witcher's company of cavalry, piloted
by Nathaniel Brown, of Washington
county, took James Bell, the brother of
Dr. Bell, of Green county, forced him to
lay lis head on a chunk in the road, and
with stones and clubs beat his brains out.
They took some of the blood and brains,
and rubbed them under his wife's nose,
cursing her, and telling her to smell them!
They then burned the house down, and
its contents with it, allowing her and her
children to look on at the flames. The
notorious Wesley Peoples and his brother,
son of old Bill Peoples, were in the crowd.
Will our men attend to them when we
advance into that country?
This is the party of murderers, rob-
bers, and hell-hounds, who boast that the
Lord is on their side, and observe JEFF.
Davis days of fasting, humiliation and
prayer. Strange to say, these devils are
but little behind any and all Confederate
partisans, in point of morals. What an
army of thieves and assassins?-B Brot0nlOa0,s IS

Rebel Congress Jeff Davis
Message,

The rebel Congress met at Richmond
May Sd, and by this time the daily ses-
sions must be somewhat excited. The
first day Mr.. Chiffon, of Ala, submitted
resolution charging Hon. w. R. ". Cobb
member of the House from thesame State,
with giving aid and comfort to the enc
mics of the .Confederacy, and asking for
a committee to enquire into the matter
After debate the resolution was adOpted,
yeas 60, nays 6. lIl-.. .-a g
The message of JEFF. Davis is in his usu-
al vein, and not very long. He repre-
sents the conduct of the enemy as horri-
BILE, and hopes to produce an effect on
Europe by his Misrepresentation jeff
Davis, however, admits that he sees no
prospect of an early change IN the course
heretofore pursued by European govern
ments, and that every avenue of negotia-
ton is closed against the Confederates-
The message does not favor any IN
crease of the currency in circulation,
which is stated at S230, 100000. The re-
cent events of the war are claimed to be.
highly creditable to the rebel armies, and
Davis asserts that '-the people are anima-
ted by cheerful confidence"
The Confederacy cannot complain Of
lack of legislative care, for the message
calls attention to the fact that the Con-
gress under the provisional government
held four sessions; and now the Second
Congress under the permanent govern
ment is assembled at the time and place
appointed by law. - -I

The requisition of Governor Brough for
the National Guard has excited some
sharp criticism, and provoked severe cen
sure Six months hence the -people'will
thank him for his practical patriotism
The Governor was not insensible to the
fact that the Government has been eoaxed
and wheedled into trifing with the draft,
and he was determined to check it as
much as possible. He knew that troops
were wanted, and that the volunteering
system was too slow. Besides, the Ma
tional Guard was organized for public de
fence, and was bound IN honor to respond to
any call made upon it by proper author
ity. The Governor called upon the Guard,
and the Guard o6eys. When history is
written the Guard will be proud of its rec
ord, and so will their fellow-citizens.--Doy-

From Gen. Banks Army.

A new Orleans letter of the 7th
reports Gen. Banks retreating by the land
route to Brashear City, it being impossible
to do so by Red River, as the steamer City
Belle on her trip up the other day, with
a regin ant of troops to reinforce him, was
captured with all on board, and the boat
burned. Two other boats had been cap
tured and burned.
The report of fight at Cane River,
April 23d. is confirmed by correspondence
in New Orleans. The rebel position was
taken by assault by General Brigest at the
point of the bayonet, and 80 or 100 of the
rebels were captured. Among the first
killed was Col. Fessenden. leading his
brigade. The rebels were pursued and
again routed. Their loss was heavy; ours
IFS killed and wounded.
Gen. Franklin, who was wounded in
the leg in the battle at Mansfield, had ar
rived at New Orleans.
Gen. Fitz Henry Warren had arrived
from Texas. Gen. Hunter had also ar
rived.
The steamer Emma, before reported
captured and burned in Red river, by
rebels, had guard of colored troops and
ten white officers on board, and a crew of
OO LuCtl. ID vi thO ioNC
of four or five of the men. Dead bodies
were seen floating down the river.
Gen. McClernard arrived at Alexandria
on the 29th.
The army occupies a strong position,
and is able to resist five times their num-
Der.
The transports are below the falls, and
safe at Alexandria.
The enemy made his appearance on the
25th on the Shreveport road, and drove in
the advance cavalry. Gen. McClernand
met them. when they withdrew without
a fight. The armies are, however, in close
proximity, and picket firing constantly.
A battle was hourly expected, and our
men anxious for the conflict. General
Banks was hit by piece of shell in the
battle of Monells Bluff, on the 23d- He
was improving.
General Magruder is said to be on his
way from Texas to Western Louisiana to
join Kirby Smiths army.

A Chinese CruciaxIon I'm 1858.

Our fond assurance that the world, IN
all quarters, is advancing in civilization
and in humanity, will once in a while re-
ceive rude shocks, which tend to convince
US that the march of man is not straight
forward, but sometimes zigzag and some
times hugely retrograde. We have not
for years heard of fact more revolving
than the recent report that as lately as
October last the cruel and inhuman PEN
atty of death by crucifxion was inflicted
upon q malefactor. Nor is the loathsome
atrocity much if any mitigated by the
knowledge that the victim was notori-
GUS thief, and was convicted of stealing
young girls for prostitution. The Roman
people have obtained an unenyiabls inn
mortality as its originators, and the He
breWs have been blasted with mildew for
centuries for the infamous use they made
of the cross. We trust it is unknown to
punitive laws of every people save the
Chinese. The victim was put upon the
cross on Wednesday, the 28th of October,
his hands outstretched, his feet resting
upon board and spikes driven into his
hands and feet, and upon him was pla-
carded his sentence; that he should be
crucifsd until he was dead. He remain
ed in torture until the following Saturday,
when not being dead vinegar was admin
istered to him, but this not occasioning
death his legs were broken and he was
strangled. Let the veil Of oblivion cover
the guilty deed, while We seek to forget
mans inhumanity TO man.

The REBEL BARBlRITIEs.-The Rich
mond Examiner, in its account of the
affair at Plymouth, justifies the rebel bar
barities in this style:
General Hoke, judging from the large
number of his prisoners, does not seem
to haYe made such thorough work as that
by which Forrest has so shocked the ten
der souls and frozen the warm blood Of
the Yankees. The resistance he encoun-
tered was, probably, not so desperate, and
the blood of the Victors not so heated;
though in fertilization carried by storm
the loss of the garrison must inevitably
be large. The strict laws of civilized war
fare acknowledge the power of the victor
to put all to the sword in such cases.
However severe such an example might
seem, it would strike a salutary terror in
the Yankees, which will be useful to them
in the end, and their melancholy whine
at meeting 8 part of the punishment
their barbarities merit, is absurd.

TIE TEN-FoRTY LoAN.-Popular as was
the Five Twenty Loan, there is every rea-
son for believing that the new Ten Forty
Loan will be taken up by the people still
more rapidly. The difference between
the two loans is, that the principal of the
former can be paid off by the Govern
ment in FIVE years in greenbaeks, while
the latter is not payable for ten years and
then only in gold. Hence, although the
Ten Forty is only FIVE per cent, it is really
more desirable than the Five-Twenty at
six per cent.
The putting of this new loan upon the
market is q good thing. and should be
heartily encouraged by ali sorts of people.
II will check the depreciation of the cur
rency by funding floating greenbacks,
and put stop to the enhancement of spe-
Gle. The FIVE per cent. in gold, it should
be remembered, is equal to eight per cent.
in currency.-N. Y. Mercury.

For the Chronicle.


We think the same old thoughts,
And dream the same old dream
That others have, ere we had been
Enshrined among hfes scenes
And yet they're not less sweet
Because no longer new,
And while so true and dear to them,
To me they are as true.
For human hearts where're they beat
Closely allied have been,
And what one spirit feels is found,
Some other one within.
Then think not that tale oft told
Shall lose its charm or power.
When those to whom ye breathe ii here
Are changing hour by hour.
Ye would not deem those whispered words
Which maidens love to hear.
Could fall less sweet and tenderly
Upon your listening ear.
Because she knows from other lips
As loving cadence fell.
While other ears bent low to catch
Words which she loves so well.
Then weary not, ye gifted ones
Nor think your work in vain,
Ie cannot know how many hearts
Shall gather strength in again.
Meath. words ye deem of trifins power
May lurk some potent spell.
Something which speaks 10 falteriDg ones,
Words none had said as well.
Nor think because so many weave
The songs you long to sing,
There is no need for humber one
Their Offering frail to bring.
While there are still so many lives
To save by words Of cheer,
So many fainting souls TO lift
From out the shadows here.
So many fond abiding hopes
And promises untold.
Which poured into some poor dark life
Are better far than gold.
And you to whom God gives the power,
With whom His talents lie,
Be sure Of you. BE will require
The interest by and by.
OF yo1 He'll ask how faithfully
Your mission you fulfilled.
How well you stroye to train the mind,
Which He with treasures filled.
How tirelessly you sought to throw
Round those He favored less,
The beauty and the wealth of thought
He taught you to express.
Then weary not, o never tire i
Or doubt your power again,
For He who gives to each their work,
Bestows no gifts in vain.
