A SINGULAR SPECTACLE IN BArrLE.-At
the battle of Stone River, while the men were
lying behind crest waiting, brace of fran
tic wild turkeys, so paralyzsd with fright that
they were incapable Of flying, ran between
the lines and endeavored to hide among the
men. But the frenzy among the turkeys was
not so touching as the exquisite fright among
the birds and rabbits. When the roar Of
battle rushed through the cedar thickets,
Aocks Of little birds auttered and circled
a5ove the field in state of utter bewilder.
ment. and scores Of rabbits Aed for protection
to our men. lying down in line on the left,
nesting under their legs in state Of utter
distraction. They hoped over tho held like
to.d., and as perfectly tanned by fright as
house pets. Many officers witnessed it re-
marking it as one Of the most curious specta-
cles ever seen upon battlefield.

Old Ben. at Home.

Gen. Benz. F. Butler is to have exclusive
control Of all the rebel prisoners, and Of all
matters connected with their exchange
There are are $4,000 Of them. who are being
gathered from the lakes and seaboard for the
purpose of being corralled in his department
ready to be exchanged or otherwise dealt
with as the exigencies of the case may de-
mand!
ter. The great Secesh Tanner" is j.. his
element again-an element which he well
knows how to control. and which will soon
become obedient to his will, or be broken on
the rack. The other day the Richmond
Junta refused to exchange any more prisoners
with Gen. Butler, on the ground that JEFF.
Davis outlawed him by setting price on his
head; and it was then reported that our
Government would give this subjec: some at
tention, and the result is, that Gen. Butler
has had placed in his charge and under his
control all the rebel prisoners in our hands.
We will hear no more Of the starvation of
our men at Richmond, or their ogonizing
death in fctid dungeons, or of them being
sold into slavery or of their execution with
out such counter retaliation as the laws of
war and necessity may allow. In its deal.
ings with men brutalized by slavery, and
drunk with crime. the Government has been
too lenient; and like all bulirs. the rebels
imposed upon its forbearance. They cdictod
that our colored troops should be treated as
their slaves, and that our officers who led
should be put to death. And in answer to
this, President Lincoln proclaimed that the
uniform must be respected as the flag itself.
Our colorcd troops in their hands. and the
white officers who led them, they refuse to
exchange. and have resortcd to the base cx-
pedicncy of starving our men, in the hope
that their wall Of woe and want arising from
Richmond prisons vii! pierce the hearts Of
our people. and melt them into that plastic
mood which would let treason have its own
way for the sake of alleviating the sufFerings
of our brave fellows those heroes of the
Republic. This condition of things had to
be met. and who so fit to solve and master
it as Gen. Butler? The whole question has
been referred to him, with plenary powers |;
hence the country will feel satisfied that
whatever can be done to cause the leaders Of
rebellion to treat our troops as prisoners of
war are treated by civilized nations, he can
do +; and that if they continue to be barbar-
ous he will not hesitate to -etaliate. The
great "Secesh Tanner" has been placed in a
field wherein his wonderful administrative
abilities can have full scope, and in little
time he will bring order out of chaos, or
know the reason why. This seems to us one
of the happiest strokes of policy struck by
the President in long time.-Sacramcnto
Bee.

DID Mt STEAL TIE TuRxEYs.-A story is
told of Dick, darkey in Kentucky. who
was q notorious thief, so vicious in this re-
spect that all the thefts In the neighborhood
were charged to him. On one occasion, Mr..
Jones, an adjoining ncighbor Of Dicks mas.
ter, called and said that Dick must be sold
out of the country, for he had stolen all his
(Mr. Jones') turkeys. Dicks master could
not think so. The two. however, went into
the field where Dick was at work. and ac-
cused him of the theft "You stole Mr..
Jones' turkeys" said the master. INC. l

ter still persisted. =" WE'LL" at lpng'h said

Don't Meddle with Politics."

We frequently hear men, who never look
beneath the surface of everyday occurrences,
say, Il never mcddle with politics." To
such We commend the following, from the
jackson (lll.) Citizen:
Now friend Unionist," (for such you
claim to bs.) what are you saying by not
meddling with politics Politics means (ac-
cording to Webster) pertaining to policy,
or civil government, aud it's administration" :"
DO you mean to say you take no interest in
the way this government is administered !!
Now that we have appealed to arms in sup.
port of Republican institutions, have you no
choice between thu success Of our arms and
the government of JEFF. Davis2 will you
step aside or withdraw from the Government
your support in this hour of its peril and
greatest suffering? Will you stand idly by
and allow the best Government ON earth to
perish Will you be like the priest and Le.
vite, and pass by on the other side, aud al.
mot meddle with po'i'ics!" Why we
should as soon think man would stand idly
by and see his house burn down, without rais-
ing his hand to put it out, as not meddle
with politics to-day. But say you "we
don't want to hear any lectures on politics
now we want to put down the rebellion" !"
We would ask our friend if he don't read the
papers. and VIZ might ask, don't you read
the Free Prcss? Did you read tho remarks
Of that paper on the National Thanksgiving :
And did you approve them "Bsware Of
false p,ophets," for they are as ravsning
wolves. Ia there not daily in your society
men who are hostile to the Government, and
do they not lend a willing ear to tho fault
findings and croakings you daily indulge in
against the Administration Do you not in
this manner directly strengthen the hands uf
the enemies Of the Government, and afford
aid and comfort to the rebellion2
There is no mid.lle ground to be taken in
this great National struggle. aud in the great
day Of recoking that must come in every
mans conscience, You will see standing be-
fore you as in fire. " He that is not for me is
against me; and be that gathereth not with
me scattereth abroad"

- A little boy Of three summers had
gone to bed with bis parents. tired. cross and
crying from the romp;ugs Of the day. and on
into the night kept up his pcsvishness until
his father was satisfied that the difficulty had
degenerated into sheer ill-nature. Having ex-
haHsted moral suasion, he gave the youngst~r
q thorough slapping. The little fellow lay

his father and throwing his arms about his

Another Valuable Discovery-A Salt Bed
Five Miles Square.

Mr.. Gar:cll of this city, informs us of a
most important discovery - one which is
worth millions Of money and of inculable
value to the silver mining interests of this
Territory. 1t is no less than the discovery,
near Sand Springs, on the Overland wagon
road, of salt bed five miles square,. The
first discovcrer, we believe, was young man
in the employ of Mcssrs. Eaves Il Hawley,
Of Sand Springs Station; but Messrs. Gar
trcl, Murray, pitzcr, Arlington and Wilson.
of this city, arc interested in the mine or bed
of salt. There are about thirty owners alto
gethcr, who have located the whole basin
in which the sal, is found. The basin np-
pears to have once been the bottom of a
lake, and the salt is found good, even on the
surface. A covering Of about three inches is
Loose and Indifferent but beneath this, for
dcpth of fourteen feet, pure rock salt is
found as clear as ice and white " as the rven
snow." Beneath there is water, which seems
to be filtered through salt for an unknown
depth. The whole of this fourteen feet in
thickness does not contain single streak Of
any deleterious mate er or rubbish, and is
ready for quarrying and sending to market.
Great blocks OF the pure stuff can be raised
the same as If it We're ice or stone; ON ex-
posurc. however, it crumblcs sufficiently to
admit of being closely packed in sacks or
wagon boxes. Grinding will be necessary
to prepare it for the table; otherwise ma
ture has ''done the clean thing in its prep
aration. Once the loose salt on top is re-
moved, one man can quarry aud wheel out
five tons each day he may work. ready for
mill use or to offer on sale in the store.
Indeed, this bed of salt is 40 convenient to
get at, and so near the great Overland road.
that the proprietors are confident they can
sell it in this market at five to six cents per
pound. or half the present price Of the arti-
Gle. Mill men will rejoice at this fact. as
some 300 tons are required for the mills in
this and adjacent counties. Moreover, the
road from this salt bed to Reese river is one
Of the best in the Territory. and the mills
there can be supplied at one-third the price
they now pay. The locality is 100 miles
this side the Reese river mines. in the Valley
of the Sinks, and about Is from Virginia,
the road from here being good most Of the
way. This discovery viii also lessen the
price of freight to Reese river, as teams can
load with salt on their return, to help pay ex-
penses. Several teams are ON the way in
now with quantity Of this salt to offer in
this Virginia Union.
