n% A laughable scene occurred at
the front, a. Nashville, two or three
days ago A gentleman, whose resi
dence was about two hundred yards be-
yond the Federal picket lines, wanted to
80 and try TO save some or his property,
but had had no authority to pass the
pieketa Being very anxious to save at
least few articles, be offered the men
on guard $40 for every load they would
bring in to him. Two Of them accepted
the offer, and be reached the house in
safety. Presently they were seen to
emerge from the door, oae Of them bear
ing q centre-table, and the other rock
ing-chair, each having his burden so dis
Pssed As to protect him from Ere in the
rear. Soon the Confederate pickets
opened on them, and one ball strnck the
table N the centre, passing entirely
through, and lodging in the soldiers
coat Both reached the lines in safety
and received each his greenback ", but
neither felt inclined to try it on again
the shooting Of the rebels was too accu-

A MISSIONARY S APPEAL.-Ten years ago we
listened to DIR. Scudder, then about to depart rs
Missionary to India for the last time lie lately
arrived in New York from the scene of his ten
years labors, and on the first occasion declared
his devotion to his native land in the following
language:
q am Union man from the sole of my foot
to the crown of my head am Union man to
the last gasp of my lungs an to the last drop of
my hearts blood. | am Union man to the
ultimate thought of my intellect, and to The
deepest emotion which lies hidden in the low
liest nook of my affections. love the flag Of
my country. If there is 4 passion which courses
in my every vein, and beats in every artery, and
thrills over every nerve, and pervades every
muscular fibre and dwels in the marrow of ev
cry bone, it is my love for the flag of my coun-
try and among the prayers which have come
to offer here to-day, this is one:
80 God of my fathers, protect that flag.
Blast the hand that would rudely touch it. OF
profanely venture to pluck star from the
glorious constellation which thoa hast inscribed
there. o God, bless thou the rational arms,
and give us peace by and through universal vic
tory on land and on sea- Free the slave. Crush
the rebellion. Punish the traitors South and
North, and spread the wing of one great undi-
vided, beneficcnt government over all the land.

repeat the declaration, made a pear ago, that

Sentence of Joseph stephens.

The miserable human being above mentioned
received his final sentence on Thursday morning
He listened attentively to the very timely re-
marks of Judge Garter, but at the close gave
vent to his feelings in language very unbecomlng
a man in his peculiar situation There Is every
evidence that Stephens is a bad man; if he real
" is not, he is doing himself great injustice
He ayows that his name is not Stephens, that he
has murdered more than one man, &c, and evil
IDENTIFY deserves hanging. Below we give the
sentence and accompanying remarks of Judge
Garter:
You must now be convinced that the judgment
of the law must be carried into effect against
YOU for the great crime of which you stand con-
victed You have appealed your case to the
highest Judicial tribunal in the State for de-
cision, and upon review OF your trial and the
Judgment pronounced against you, that Court
found no error, or injustice done you, bnt IN all
things affirmed that judgment, and directed this
Court to appoint time to carry the judgment
into effect.
You have had fair and impartial trial for the
crime charged against you, and by it your earth
" doom has become justly fixed. There can no
longer remain hope expectation of escape
from the terrible consequences of the murder
which you have committed, and the only good
am permitted to render you in your miserable
situation is to remind you Of the admonitionS
given you on the occasion of pronouncing the
former sentence eff the law upon you, and to add
that on account of the certainty of the death
which you are to suffer so soon, it behooves you
as a reasonable being, accountable to God as
well as to the laws Of the country to c0ntem-
plate that great future state upon whose realities
you are about to enter. The Great God who
gave you life, and in whose presence you must
soon appear, can alone forgive your crimes
His infinite mercy must be your only hope and
consolation. By using the brief time allotted
you yet to live in seeking that truth and wisdom
which good men have found and enjoyed, you
may become prepared for happiness in the life
which exists in the everlasting world to come
Better die repentant man than through perver-
sity of heart to show yourself an enemy to your
Creator and your fellow men, which must en-
nance your miscries here and hereafter.
