or What stuG Our Soldiers are Made.
The New York Times correspondent
with Gen. Butler relates the following:
Sitting In Col. Skaters tent last even
| ing ] heard Gen. Weitzel narrate two in
cidente, showing Of what sort of stuff our
soldiers are made Coming off the bat
tle-6eld last Monday he saw a soldier
whom he had used as q scout. Knowing
him to be trustworthy man, Weitzsl
hurriedly asked him to take a message to
distant part of the field, not observing
in the fog that the man was shockingly
wounded in the head. The poor fellow
answered with the greatest sang troid,
II should be happy to go, General, but
this ball in my head is binding met" at
the same time removing his hand and ex-
hibiting the horrible wound.
During the fight at Swift Greek, Gen.
Weitzel was sitting on a log watching the
skirmishing. Two stre:cher-bearers came
by with soldier, one of whose legs had
been entirely shot off, and whose face was
disfgured by CHASTITY wound. As he
passed by Gen. Weitz !, the man raised
his head to eject blood from his mouth. In
doing this he nearly soiled the Generals
boot, and at once made an apology for the
accident In such al extremity ordinary
men would be very apt to forget polite
ness. These little things tell as much as
any, of the herOism of the army.
Death Of IS Dunn Brovne.O
Captain Samuel Fske, better known in
the literary world as Dunn Browne, I"
died at Fredericksburg, Virginia, en- Sun
day, of his wounds received in the battles
of the Wilderness. Every. effort to save
his life, within the scope of human power,
was made, but in vain His wife, brother
and sister were present during his dying
moments. Captain Fiske was born in
Shelburne, Massachusetts, He graduated
at Amherst College in 1S48, and. was for
some time tutor in that institution. He
subsequently visited Europe, and on his
return settled as a minister at s. erburne,
Connecticut, whence he entered the SER
vice, going to the field as Lieutenant.
His gallantry soon won for him Cap
tains commission. He was captured by
the rebels, and was for some time pris-
oner at Richmond.
As literary man, among the most
striking of hisefforts was the translation of
"Eschenburgs Manual of Greek and Ro-
man Antiquities" now used as textbook
in some of our leading colleges He was
long time correspondent Of the Spring
field Republican, his letters from Europe
over the signature of 'Dunn Browne be-
ing originally published in that paper.
They were widely read and universally ap-
proved. He was also the war correspond
ent of the same paper, and his productions
in that capacity were marked with signal
ability.

. TrE First Regiment fund, amounting to
600, was turned over to Gov. Miller, to be

the Gettysburg National Cemetery, to the
memory of the brave Minnesotians that fell in
July last. The Governor left Washington this

for the erection of the m0nument.-Press.
9 If this fund has been donated to the object
above stated, it is certainly diversion from
the purpose had in view by the donors, which
was simply to relieve the sick and wounded of

CHAPTx8 I.
THE M0RxOxs DKPARruRE.
The morning on which Reginald Gloversou
was to leave Great Salt Lake City with . mule
train, dawnei beautifully.
Reginald Gloverson was young and thrifty
Mormon, with an interesting family Of twenty
young and handsome wives. His unions had
never been blessed with children. AZ often Is
once year he used to 20 to Omaha, In Ne
braska, with . muie-train for goods but al
though he performed the rather peri Gus jour
ney many times with entire safety, his heart
was strangely sad on this particular morning,
and filed with gloomy fUrebodings. .r,-' -
The time for his depa ture had arrived. The
high-spirited mules were at the door. impa-
tiently champing their bits. The Mormon
stood sadly among his weeping wives. @
Dearest ones, "he said, ~ am singuIarly
sad at heart this morning; but do not let this
depress you. The journey is q perilous one,
but-pshaw! have always come back safely
heretofore, and why should fear? Besides,
know that every night, as l lay down on the
broad starlight prairie, your bright faces will
come to me in my dreams. and make my
slumbers sweet al gentle. You, Emily, with
your mild blue eyes; and yOu Henrietta, with
your splendid black hair; and you, Nelly, with
your hair so brightly, beautifully golden and
you, Molly, with your cheeks so downy; and
you, Betsey, with your wine.red lips-far more
delicious, though, than any wine ever tasted
and you, Marin, with your winsOme voice;
and you, Susan with y6ur-with your-,hat is
to say, Susan, with your-- and the other
thirteen of you, each SO good and beautiful,
will come to me in sweet dreams, will you
not, Dearestists?"
"Our own" they lovingly chilhed, 1--WE
will I"
'And so farewell! !" cried Reginald. "Come
to my arms, my own!" he said. - that is, as
E.any of You as can do it conveniently at once,
for must away"
He folded several of them to his trobbing
breast, and drove sadly away.
But he had not gone far when the trace of
the Off-hind mule became uuhitched. Dis
mounting he essayed to adjust the trace; but
ere he had fairly commenced the task the
mule, singulary refractory animals Orted
wildly, and kicked Reginald frightfully in the
stomach. He arose with difficulty and totter-
ed feebly towards his mothers house, which
was near by, falling dead in her yard, with the
remark, Dear mother, I've come home to
die!"
80 see" she said where's the mules ?"
Alas Reginald GlOverson could give no an-
swer. In vain the heart stricken mother
threw herself upon his inanimate form crying,
son my SONNY soni only say where them
mules Is, and then you may die If you want
D." In vain-in vain
Reginald had passed on.

English View OF Retaliation.


The London Daily Ne,os treats Of the
Fort Pillow massacre, and recommends
retaliation. It says: . -..... aH. ,
There can be no doubt that, under the
recognized laws Of war, the Government
Of the United States is perfectly entitled
to visit such an atrocity with signal retail.
alton. It is laid down clearly enough by
Vattel, and indeed by every authoritative
writer on the subject, that if hostile Gen.
eral has, without. any just reason, caused
prisoners to be executed, the Government
which he is fighting may execute an equal
nunber of his people, notifying him that it
will continue thus to retaliate for the pur-
pose of obiiging him to observe the laws
Of war. 2.- - III. p .2' l-3.'l 8,
Admitting to the fullest extent that it is
a dreadful extremity thus to condemn q
prisoner to atone by miserable death for
his Generals crime, the writers on inter
national law point out, al the same time,
that ss bell;gerent Government has d
right to sacrifice it's enemies lives to its
own safety and that of it's troops, if it has
to do with an inhuman enemy who fire.
quently commits such enormities, it Is au-
tbosized to refuse quarter to some of the
prisoners taken, and to treat them as its
own people have been treated. The right
of retaliation under such circumstances
not only exists, but has been repeatedly
exercised, in some instances with very con-
siderable success. ".ao ~. a.-e.. -.
During the Peninsular war, for example,
the Spanish commanders compelled the
French Generals to respect thelives of the
Spanish peasantry, by notifying them that
for. every peasant found murdered two
French soldiers would be executed. The
murder OF the peasantry by the French
soldiers, which bad previously been COM
mon enough, soon ceased after the intima-
ton had been given and acted upon in a
few instances. > a ..,..o ,.f. ="

A DISCOVERY OF REBEL POWDER

ST. LOUIS, May 31.-The following was re-

Sr- JOSEPH, May 20, 1864.

of Missouri:
We have discovered twenty-three kegs and
one hundred and fifty cans of powder, conct all
ed on the premises of four of our first families.
The powder is the same that was stolen from
Camp jackson by jeff. Thompson, three years
ago, and has been concealed in the dwellings
and barns of men of protested loyalty, and
some of them leaders in the Pawpa Militia. It
looks badly. Shall proceed thoroughly but
