GRANT AT THE CAMP FIRE.--At the evening
mess table met General Grant, and after a very
hasty meal, ! watched him for an hour he sat
by the camp fire. He is small man, with a
square, resolute, thinking face. He sat silent
among the gentlemen of his staff, and first i'm
preston was that he was moody dull and unso-
cial. afterwards found him pleasant genial
and agreeable. He keeps his own counsel, pad
locks his mouth, while his countenance in battle
or repose or counsel indicates nothng-that IS,
gives no expressions of his feelings and no evI-
dence Of his intentions. He smokes almost con-
stantly and, as then and since have Observed
he has habit of whiting with small knife

By the mountain springs of the Cumberland,
Under the lea1ess trees,
With faces lii by the midnight brand,
Sat the hunted refugees.
A woman with untimely frost
Creeping along her hair:
And boy whose sunny locks had lost
Small store of the gold of childhood, tossed
BY Il mothers kisses there.
The clouds hung thick on the mountain brow,
And the stars were yelled In gloom,
And the gorges around were white with snow;
But below was the prowling foe.
And the light of a burning home.
Mother, the wind is cold tonight"
Said the boy, in childhood's tone;
But, oh hope in the mornings light
That the Union lines will come in sight,
And the snow will soon be gone.
$50 tell me now. ere sleep more,
The message that father gave
To his comrades for you and me, before
The glorious fight on the river shore
That made n soldiers grave"
Then the mother told, with fearless eye,
The solemn words again:
9 Tell her shall see her standing by
When the calm comes on of the time to die,
And the wounds have lost their pain.
/" And teach my boy forever to hold
In his heart all things above
The wealth of all earths unbounded gold,
Or life with its sweet. sad joys untold
The worth of patriots love"
As his blood the message quicker stirred
The boys bright arteries through,
81 well remember every word"
He said d" and the angels who must have heard,
They will remember, too"
Then claspcd a mother clasps who stands
Alone between love and death,
Unfelt where the spectral chilly hands
That softly tighten the soothing bands
Over the falling breath.
Mother and child, the fire burned low,
Slept on the earts cold breasty
The night passed by, and the morning slow
Broke the veil of cloud Ter the stainless snow,
But never their perfect rest.

WINDY PATRIoTs.-Frank PiXley writes to the
Bulletin concerning his trip through the battle
ground of Cold Ilarbor, on the Chickahominy.
1t seems that our former Attorney General got
too near the front, and the enemy began to send
too much iron in his direction, so he concluded
that = discretion was the better part of valor, -
and ecas1 eruput, which is equivalent to saying
that he incontinently got up and g busted :"
q On his return, Colonel Rowlev, finding me
among the missing, inquired of a soldier in a
rit1e-pit if he had seen me, and he replied that

THE Poughkeepsie Eagle very properly hits OF
a modern notion as follows:
PROGRESS OF REFINEMENT The other day, on
looking over the marriages in Utica paper we
observed that the name of every bride in the list
was made to end in ie, and not one of said names
was a proper one, according to old fashion no
tons but nick names or baby names, in
conformity with the refined tastes of the day.
They were all Carrie, Margie, Susie, Libbie, and
last Of all Molie, which last we suppose is
corruption of the beautiful name of Mary, for
which the curses of the Virgin Mary if she ever
pronounces them, ought to fall on those VINO
display such REFINED shallowness.
Judging from the progress in this line' which
we have been forced to witness in the past, we
NAV calculate in few years at longest, all the
nrettv names of women which have stood promi-
nent for centuries in English literature will be
banished entirely from the fashionable part OF
Il Mechanics are not applied to the male sex

probabilities are that long we shall see the
marriage of Mr.. Bubble Jones to Miss Sissie Smith.

The NATIONS TRIUMPH.-Gratitude to God,
the Giver Of all good, will naturally be the pri
mary and paramount impulse of every patriot
heart in view Of the magnificent and decisive
victory achieved by the Army of the Potomac in
the battle of Thursday. The rebel army of Vir-
gna has been thoroughly vanqushcd. Prob
ably more Of those who composed it one week
ago are now wounded or prisoners than remain
to be rallied again under the flag of secession.
We will not anticipate but we believe Lees
army as effective force has practically ceased
to exist
Rejoicing most intensely, as we do rejoice,
over this achievement for our Country's sake,
we glory in it also for the sake of that heroic,
long-sufcrng Army of the Potomac. More gal
liant soldiers the world never saw yet its his
tory has been so checkered with reverses that it
stood grossly misjudged and underyalued almost
universally down to this week. 1t quite
generally believed unable to cope with an equal
number of rebels and some of its commanders
have seemed to share in this impression. That
Army now stands nobly indicated. BY more
than a week of incessant combat, wherein ut
least one-iourth of its numbers have been strick
en- down, through privation, endurance, achicv-
ment, persistency, and heroic contempt Of agony
in death, it has demonstrated its right to be
deemed the peer of any army on earth. TIL the
last Of its members sleeps in death. his children
will boast Of their parentage patent Of no
bity. and glistcning eyes will attest the general
admiration and love of whomsocyer may justly
claim to have fought throughout the Spottsyl
vania battles in the Army of the Potomac.
To Lieutenant General Grant the Nation 5 love
and gratitude will be feryent aud unmeasured.
The Army Of the Potomac hardly knew him
month ago it knows him and cvermorc.
Had he shared the current estimate of its capac-
tiles, his msconception would have been natu
raj but he knew its worth instinctively, and
trusted implicitly to its valor and devotion. The
result proves that he was right, and that the
Army has at last found its true leader. Let us
harbor no shadow of doubt that under his
guidance, that army will promptly and thor
oughy complete the work to which it has been
called, and to which it has proved itself so
noby adapted " Y. Tribune.
