GEN. GRANT UNREAsoNABLE.-The Rich
mond Sentinel of May 81; says:
Now Grant has been retreating on
Fredericksburgh, and anon he is at
Spottsylvania Court House. Now again
he meets with disaster that could hare
sent reasonable man back to Lincoln, but
quickly he is flank marching for Rich
mond. Now he crosses the North Anna
and confronts Lee, apparently for battle;
but night comes, and he steals away and
starts for the Peninsula. Now he cross
es at Hanovertown in his supposed flight
to his new base; but last and latest, we
learn that his face is turned towards
Richmond, and that he confronts Lee on
the Tolopotamoy Creek, with prospect
of immediate fight. 1t is time far rs all
to cease speculation as to Grants movements,
and attend to the facts He has been offer
ing fight when we thought he was re-
treating, and retreating when we tho't
he was Offering fight; he has been adrian
cling ,ohen he ,cas ohipped, and heading up
stream when he had every reason to
hurry down He has gone by the rule
of military contrariness, and has always
disappointed us whenever we supposed he
was acting sensibly or consistently with
himself. We suppose he has come to
the final fight at last; though warned
by experience, we express the opinion
with becoming doubt"

SACRIFICES or THE POLISH LADIES'
Patriotic ladies of Poland, finding
that renewed sacrifices were necessary
in the war with Russia, have sent their
Jewels to England for sale, the proceeds
to be devoted to the relief of those poor
sick and wounded Poles who now, al
most bereft of hope, are slowly anguish
ing in sacrecy and suffering.
The jewels were sold at the Cheswick
Mansion of the Ducess Dowager of Suth-
erland. They numbered almost seven
hundred, and were valued at e5000.-
The number would have been greater
had it not been for the difficulty found
in removing them. As it is many valu-
able articles were conflscated on the
Austrian frontier and have never reach
ed England.
Among the .jewezry sold was large
collection of wedding rings and love to-
kens belonging to Polish widows who
had lost their husbands during the in
surrection, and who had not hesitated
to sacrifice those relics, in the hope that
the amount obtained for them would
lessen the sufferings of those who had
struggled and bled in the cause for which
their husbands had fallen. Many Of
these rings bore the joint initials of hus-
band and wife, and some of them were
also engraved with appropriate notices
and quotations. There were also four
bead necklaces by nuns who, having
nothing else to offer, had given the only
ornaments they were permitted to use
In one of the galleries were two beauti-
full shawls valued at fifty guineas each,
and the room known as the Fox Room,
adjoining the small chamber in which
the great English statesman died, were
two fine oil paintings, the property Of
Polish families, which were offered at
the price of $4,000 each. Among the
miscellaneous articles for sale were three
silver snuff boxes, which had been sent
by Russians with view of beneftting
their Oppressed fellow subjects. Some of
the rings bore dates which showed they
had been worn in some cases fifty, in
Others but two or three years. The sales
were at exceedingly low prices, the love
tokens and rings going often for only a
few shillings

tunity for surgical study that the hos
pitfalls afford, and to offer such assistance
as lies in their power in taking care of
the wounded.

BEWARE OF TOKENS, USED FOR MONEY.
The temptation for those fraudulently
disposed and for those who are careless,
in these days of scarcity in coin, to pass
for cents, tokens resembling cents, is
great. Such persons will do well to
read the following section of a law of
Congress passed April %, 1864;
Ind be it FURTHER enacted, That if any
person or persons shall make, issue, or
pass, or cause to be made, issued or
passed, any coin, card, token, or device
whatsoever, in metal or its compounds,
intended to pass or be passed as money
for one cent piece or two cent piece,
such person or persons shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall on
conviction thereof be punished by a fine
not exceeding one thousand dollars, and
by Imprisonment for a term not exceed
ing five years.

Official Thieves.

The Pittsburgh Commercial, the
leading Republican organ. thus dis
courses of Federal corruption. Ger
tainly it has reason to know the truth
on this subject:
1.-The immense patronage of the
Federal Government being placed in
the hands Of the members of Congress
contrary to the spirit of our govern
ment, has thrown wide the doors for
corruption, and so fearfully corrupt
has the public service in some bran
ches become, that during the present
year, few scoundrels have been
tried, convicted and sent to prison,
whose united frauds (er more proper
ly robberies) amounted to a sum larg-
er than the entire annual revenue of
the country during the administra-
tion of Washington; and we venture
to say that, of the large sums raised
by the Government since the beginn-
ing of the war, fully one fourth has
been 6lched by the unt'led scouudrels
who secure in their relationship to
the member who placed them in pos
ten, and who would be disgraced by
their exposure, or, relying upon his
Interest in community of profits,
openly haunt their ill-gotten riches
in the face Of day, and, with the
swelling insolence Of wealth and Of
hce, arrngate to themselves super
iority over honest eitizeus, and carry
themselves with pride so lofty and
so ridiculous as to excite the wrath
and ridicule, both of men and gods.

An :ArnlicSs Hero.

A few days ago we mentioned the
marriage of the armless color ser
geant Of the Massachusetts, reglnl t,
Plunket, to Miss Nellie Lorrlmcr.-
The wedding took place in Worces-
ter, though the parties belong IN
Leicester. We have now an addl-
tionel fact Of interest connected with
the incident:
When he left for the wars, Plum
ket was engaged to Miss Lorrimer.
Upon his return he considered his
helpless condition, and offered re-
lease to his betrothed, which was
readily accepted. Her sister was 80
indignant at this that she said che
would marry the brave man herself
if he was agreeable, and agreeable
he was, and they married. The
Hartford Co., Post, on whose author
ity we relate this anecdote, says that,
"thankS to the generosity of the bro
kers' boards of Boston and \. York,
and the people he has met since his
return, PIunkct, the hero, is in inde-
pendent circumstances, pecuniar!ly.

An Iron Clad Man of the Past.

An exchange says:-We examin-
ed, a few days ago, in the office OF
Acknowledgement Galbrath, very
interesting historical relic, being a
portion Of the armor of one of the
Spanish Knights who first invaded
and explored the wilds of this Wes-
tern continent. The armor was
found tn the neighborhood Of Mon
ticello, Jefferson county, in the State
of New York. The portions preser
we'd are the helmet, the visor and
gorget, and coverings for the arms.
We understand that the rest of the
armor was found, but has been mad
vertantly lost or destroyed. This
armor is of the most solid and sub
stantial character, that for the head
alone weighing Is or 20 pounds, and
being impenetrable to musket or rifle
balls. 1t is possible that the armor
belonged to Que of the expeditions of
Pamplilo de Narvaez, which was lost
in the country, or to one Of the army
of De Soto, and is about 800 years
ol6-perhaps much older. The
frame that could bear this iron in
easement must have known the disci-
pline Of arms, and been strengthen
ed in the battle aud the breeze. The
arnor is of complete workmanship :;
strong rather than fine; and must
have been as complete covering for
the human form as the armor Of the
ocean monsters that bid defiance to
the rifle cannon shot of the present
day. Probably, in future times, the
iron-clads of our own day will be re-
garded as the curiosities of a past
age, the utility of which will hardly
be perceptib!e to our descendants. p"
