Moi Gen Pleasunt0n:
have just returned from Cassvile, and will
forward my official report of the campaign in
q few days. No one has fired shot at the
enemy since the battle of NcwtOnia, where
the enemy gained great advantage over
Blunt at first, but my command got up
in time to turn the enemy's right and the
tide of things The enemy suffered largely in
men and horses. My idea was. and is now.
that when we got him below NewtoDia, and
the region of grain mills and catlln, that we
should not crowd him any more but rather
make an effort to hold him in this land Of star,
walton az we would garrison without supple
until his army broke up and divided. Deserlcrs
were very numerous, while Price was in This
section, but | have seen none that have lett
him since he pushed towards his supplies.
My own view is that all The efforts
OF General Curtis to drive the enemy, and
they have been great, aud cntit!e him to
credit, having been to our detri.neut AMI the
enemy's advantage. for | believe One-halt of
his army would have deserted north CT the
Arkansas, had it not been for fear OF the pu:-
suing foe, and The pursuit has been expensive,
but the enemy have suffered baiiy, and all
should be satisfied.
suppose my dispatches from Gen. Fioyey
indicate that Iie troops On The Arkan.a5 VIII

A very intelligent Irishman tells the
following story of his first. experience in
America
/ came to this country several years ago,
and as soon as / arrived hired out to q
gentleman who farmed few acres. He
showed me over the premises, the stables,
the COW, and where the corn, hay, and
oats, etc, were kept and then sent me to
get my supper.
After supper he said to me-
flames, you may feed the COW, and
give her corn in the ear"
l went out and walked absut, thinking
what he could mean. Had understood
him. scratched my head, then resolved
| would enquire again; so l went into
the library where my master was writing
very busi!y, and he answered, without
looking up
81 thought told yon to give the COW
corn in the ear.'
| went cut more puzzled than ever.
What sort of an animal must this Yam
kee COW be? / examined her mouth and
ears
The teeth were good, and the ears were
like those of kline in the old country.
Dripping with sweat, entered my mas
ter's presence once more
"Please sir, you bid me give the COW
some ccrn IN the ear-but didn't you mean
in the mouth?"
He lCoket. at me moment and then
burst into such convulsion of laughter.
/ made for the stable as fast as my feet
coulf! take me, thinking was in the ser
vice Of q crazy man.

Some years ago the manager of "well
regulated theatre" somewhere along the
line of the Erie canal, engaged good
looking and brisk young lady as a super
numerary. It happened that the young
lady in question had formerly officiated in
some capacity as "hand on board of a
canal boat, fact which she was extreme
ly anxious to conceal. She evinced much
anxiety to master the details of her newly
chosen profession, and soon exhibited
more than ordinary degree of comic tai
ent. She was duly promoted, ana became
general favOrite with both manager and
public.
One night she was announced to appear
il favorite part, cOaple of boarmen
found their way into the pit, near the foot
lights, particularly anxious to see the new
famous commedienne. The house was
crowded, and after the subsistence of tho
| general applause which greeted her ap.
Pearance, one of the boatmen slapped bis
companion on the shoulder, and with an
emphatic expletive that could be heard
over half the house:
Bill, know that gall"
"Pshaw!" said Bill, s'drxup."
"But I'm ID if doat now, Bill. It's
Sal Fluklns, as sure as you're born. She's
old Flukins' daughter that used to run the
Injured Polly, and she used to sail with
him"
"Tom," said Bill, "you're fool, aud
if you don't stop your internal clack,
you'll get put out. Sal Flukins! Yon
know sight if you think that's her!"
Tom was silenced, but not convinced
lie watched the actress in all her motions
with intense interest, and ere long broke
out again:
81 tell ye, Bill, that's her-I know It's.
You can't fool mel know her too well !"
Bill who was a good deal interested in
the play, was out of all patience at this
persistent interruption on the part Of Tom
He gave him g. tremendous nudge in the
ribs with his elbow, as an emphatic hint
tor him to keep quiet.
Tom, without mnding the admonitioD,
said
You just wait-lll fix her, keep your
eye Oh me-"
Sure enough he did fix her. Watching
his opportunity when the actress was
deeply absorbed in her part, he sung out
in a voice which rang through the gale
ries,
Glow Bridget"
From the force Of habit the actress in.
stantly and. involuntarily duched he, head
to avoid the anticipated collision Down
came the house with perfect thunder of
applause at this ''palpable hit," high above
which Toms voice could be heard, is he
-eturned Ril,s punch in tina r;hs with IN
tercst--
"Didnt ] tell We, old boy, know'd

General McClellan,s IL esix 4 ton.

From the New York World
On the Sth instant, the day of election,
General Mcclellan addressed letter to the
President, resigninig his commission in the
army, and requesting that his resignation
nigh be allowed to date from that day.
AS he could not then know whether he re.
signed to become private citizen, or re-
signed to become the President elect of
the United States, the time was appropriate
ly and gracefully chosen. AS he is not
accustomed to act from any impulses, but
always from deliberately formed reasons,
it is doubtless correct to infer that it was
his purpose, If not elected, to retire wholly
TO private life.
General Mcclellan, will he followed into
his retirement with the gratitude, the adj
miration, and the affection of millions of
his countrymen and when they have &C
CURED the means of enabling him to be OF
service TO the country, and is convinced
that he can do them any good, it cannot
be doubted that his patriotism will be
found a living virtue, as it has been.
Gen. Grants order, informing desert
els from the enemy of the treatment they
will receive on coming into his lines, has
been republished, and is being sent into
the rebel army.
