FDO4u ATLANTA

correspondent Of the Atlanta Intel,cnccr
writing from Joncsboro' unics date Of Sent 8
speaks thus of affairs in Atlanta:
On Monday night the Yankees had a GRAND
ball at the Trout House, under the direction Of
Mrs. Clements, its present proprictrcss. Gen.
Sherman and staff and his corps and division
commanders patronizc the affair About a
dozen women of the town, not Il decent ludv
amongst them, attended the thing. But what
was wanting in white was made up in nirrcrs.
They mingled, oh! how they mingled. Black
and brown, white and grey.
They began the dance with the Lanccrs
Quadrillc in which Gen. Sherman lee, off with
Mrs. Clements for partner. His vis us, Gen.
Howard, had ono Of Mayor Jim CaIhouns
wenchcs as partner. One of Shcrman's staff
danced with one of ]. E. Buchanans nigeer
women he took there himself Billy.Soloman's
nggcr women lent the charms of her presence
and her figure in the dance, and had a great Zeal

brought two nlgger women to the ball, and
looked on the scene with grinning admiration

to be retired in a carriage.

Scene OH Il Skirnafsh Line.

Your readers have seen many ac-
counts relative to the heavy slSirnlish-
ing that has characterized this cam
paign. lfany Of them desires to see
evidences of it's destructiveness, he
has only to walk up and down our
skirmish line for all hour. He then
can realize what terrible fire the
soldiers ofthis army have undergone
for the past one hundred and fifteen
days. Isaw this morning and meas
ured a white oak sapling, seven inch
es in diameter, literally cutoff about
one foot from the ground by Yam
kee bullets. The underground is
cut to pieces and.resembles a deaden-
ing in the forest Along this line
thousands Of pounds Of led can be
gathered up, not only along the two
sklrmish lines, but in the camps late
ly vacated by the enemy. Officers
of the Ordinance Department ought
to look after and have this lead
gathered up for future Use.
In my walk over the ground be-
tween the two lines, I saw the de-
composed bodies of two Yankees
lying about fifty steps in advance of
their skirmish line and in full view
their own comrades. Here they fall
and died, not one Of their comrades
possessing the charity to aid them in
their sutferings. A little further on
were four others lying huddled close
together in a small copse of woods
where they had evidently crawled
after receiving their death wounds.
AS | stood over the decaying bodies
Of these men, could but sigh and
think how utterly depraved must be
that General, Colonel, or Captain, as
the case may be, who would stand
by and see his tellow-men, his own
soldiers, thus perish for want of at
tention. What can we think of
those brutes wearing the garb of
soldiers, who stand idly by and see
thir brother-soldier die and not make
one effort to give his body decent
soldiers burial at least? Under some
circumstances the desertion of wound
ed comrades in battle is admissible.
but in this case never.

THE ooPPERHEAD.
BY JOHN HOLLAND.

Ther. IL snake that haunts the grass,
Despjsed by all men, white and red,
Trod meath The hoof of OF and ass
The 9iistening, venomous cOpperhead,
throughout three seasons Of the year,
The rattlesnake himself hath fed
Rut when the extra mouths appear
His utler Is the copperhead-
The twisting, wriggllng copperhead;
The glistening, vencmous cOpperhead,
The men of sense can fix the tense
In which to kill the cOpperhead.
'Tis said that every creeping thing
Has got some useful task ahead;
But vet the birds have failed to sing
One virtue in the eopperhead.
The ancient snake in Eden's bowers
From fiowery paths our parents led;
Experience in this age Of ours
Comes down upon the Copperhead-
The slippery, Blimy copperhead-
The kissing, splitting copperhead-
The sweat of man through ages shed
Cries, "Clubs upon the Copperhead ~
We love to scan the lordly beast
That's called the king by naturalists;
But vet, we shun the foul retreat
When'er the slippery reptile twists.
The winnowing birds that haunts the grove
Make echo ring wher'er we tread;
But, ah they cease their songs Of love,
Wiener they SPY the Copperhead-
I'D. The wallowing sponging copperhead;
The birdT despise the copperhesd;
From nion hands II eats Its bread,
And bites for thanks the copperhead.
But glory be to Israel's God
The Union bird Its wings hath spread,
Whose beak and claws shall rid the ssd
Ofevery crawling copperhead.
The rattlesnake and copperhead
Shall ne'r coil up fair Freedoms bed;
The Union pole pokes every hole
That can contain copperhead.
Alas, alas the copperhead
The union stone has smashed its head,
Wen stuff its skin for mon to grin
At what was once a copperhead.

Jean yalJean.

There are but few persons perhaps who
have read the story of Jean Vatican, that
have failed to appreciate resemblance in
greater or less degree, to their own lives.
Not that the many have been convicts,
galley-slaves, or criminals, but that the
many have carried with them to their
graves the stigma of some deed or act
atoned for thousand times and in and of
itself a mere error. ., ..
A man is nominated for an honorable
office. For years his character has been
above reproach. He is model man; but
suddenly the teeth of thousand vipers
are buried in the warp and woof of his
virtues. Deeper and deeper pierce the
horrible fangs until little defect is found,
a little fault, which God forgave years ago.
There is a yelp of wild exultation like the
shrieks of incarnate fends, and the multi
tude spreads abroad the discovery, magni-
fying it until the mans character, that
had stood like a colossal granite shaft,
seemed to crumble and totter. He was
about to rise above the masses, or in some
honorable way to be individually distin-
guished by the suffrage of the people.
But the green-eyed monster throttles him
he falls-the multitude is satisfied.
A woman's life is like snowy vesture,
and so transparent with0l, that every flaw
and mar is reflected. Life is full of mar
row, steep, rugged places. There are
thorns and briars on one hand, filth and
pollution upon the other. An angels gar
ment would lose its whiteness upon earth.
But, alas for the woman whose vesture
of virtues bears the faintest suspicion of
tarnish. All the good deeds of lifetime
all the tears that drain the heart cannot
erase it. 1t will be told of her years af.
ter the grass grows green over her resting
place. Humanity, as a mass, is sublime.
Individualized, it possesses charity, great
ness of heart, love and forgiveness; and
still, individualized, it is contemplate,
base, selfish, unforgiving and cruel. There
is an element in humanity which yearns to
scar, to blight, to crush and destroy every
semblance of talent, of success, or of mer-
tied worth that grows out, as it were, un-
consciously, Of the better part of the peo-
pie, crystalizing around some one individ-
ual. and from him again emanating to
gladden. and bless the earth. Great men
and women are pickets God has stationed
in the grand army of humanity. All
cannot even be soldiers. The best only
of soldiers should be entrusted with the
safety of an army. Instead of "nursing
your wrath" We jealous, envious back
biters-defaming those higher than you
as the east is far from the west-thank
God that he has made men and women
who are better than you, else he would
cut you off the earth.
Rejoice at every indication of good for
tune in your neighbor; it will not block
ade your way to Heaven. Conceal his
errors, when the knowledge will benefit
none; tell of his virtues. Life is short at
least, and no mans happiness will balance
in the scale of his sorrows. 1t is a base
life, more than british existence, that
gloats over the downfall of fellow crea-
ture, or exhumes from God-forgotten
grave some fellow-creature' frailty.

MILITIA AND NAVY OF ENGLAND.-A
return furnished by the commanding Off
GERS of militia regiments shows that the
number of privates present at the training
of 1868 was 92,952, namely, 60,ll0 in
England and Wales S,542 in Scotland,
and 24,30O in Ireland. The number of
privates enlisted in the year ending April
9th, 1864, has been $3.50 in England and
Wales, 2,84S in Scotland, and 7,7l8 in
Ireland. making total of 29,236 in all /;
and the sums paid for such enlistments
amounted to f64,5l9. We have at
present in commission 240 steamships of
all sizes, from the stately three-decker
down 10 the tiny gunboat. These are
manned by about $4,000 men and boys,
and are propelled by steam power ex-
ceeding 10000 horses nominal. In ad-
dition we have 4S sailing vessels, mount
ing upwards of 600 guns, and manned by
about $500 men and boys. The sailing
vessels naturally are only fit for harbor
duty and trading ships. They are never
intended to go to sea again, and therefore
should not be regarded as belonging to
our effective naval force. liverpool Times.

A MAN WIrHouT MoNBY.-A man

A MAN WITHOUT MoNEY.-A man
without money is a body without a soul,
walking death; a spectre that frightens
everybody. His countenance is sorrow-
full and his conversation is languishing
and tedious. If he calls upon an acquain,.
tance he never finds him at home, and II
he opens his mouth he is interrupted
every moment, SO that he may not finish
his discourse, which it is fearful will end
with asking for money. He is avoided
like person infected with disease, and ls
regarded as an incumbrance to the earth:
Want wakes him in the morning, and
misery accompanies him to his bed at
night. The ladies discover that he is an
awkward BOBBY; the landlord believes
that he lives upon air and il he wants
anything from tradesman, he is asked
for cash before delivery.
