Indian Strategy.

A very curious piece Of strategy which took
place the other day. shows that the wonders OF
Uooper's Indian heroes have not ceased. One
Of the Fourteenth New York Artillery Sene-
Ca Indian, believe, from the western part OF
the State, undertook, on ger, to bring IN alive
rebel sharpshooter, who was perched in tree
in front Of our line, considerably in advance Of
bis own. His manner OF accomplishing this, was
AZ ingenious as successful, and rivals the I" dew
ilty" Of any Of the Leather-stocking REDSKINS
Procuring a qrantity Of pine boughs, he envel-
oped himself with them from head to foot, at
taching them securely to branch, which he
lashed lengthwse OF hs body. When completed
he was ndstuguishablc, to a casual observer,
from the surrounding foliage, and resembled u
tree as closely az it was possible for his really
artistic efforts to render him.
Thus prepared, and with musket in hand con-
cealed likewise, he stole by almost imperceptibls
movements to beneath the tree where the sharp.
shooter was lodged. Here be patiently waited
until bis prey had emptied his piece at one OF
our men, wnen be suddenly brought his musket
to bear upon the reb," giving him no time to
reload. The sharpshooter was taken at a disad-
vantage To the command to come down he
readily assented, when the Indian triumphantly
marched him prisoner into camp and won the
wager Petersburg .4rniy Letter.

GAINING SrREsGrn.-We believe We have got
hold of an original anecdote that we never
printed before. A student in one OF our state
colleges was charged by the Faculty with hav-
ing had barreh Of ale deposited in his room,
contrary Of course, to rule and usage. He re-
ceiyed summons to appear before the Presi-
dent, who said
Sir, | am informed that you have barrel
Of ale in your ROOM"
" Yes, SIR"
" What explanation can you make?"
" Why, the fact is, sir, my ply sician advised
TIE to try little ale each day, as tonic, and
not wishing to stop at the various places where
this beverage is retailed, concluded to have q
barrel taken TO my room"
= Indeed And have you derived any benefit
FROM III?
All yes, sir. When the barrel was first
taken to my room, two weeks since, | could
scarcely lift it, NOW 1 can carry il piA the
greatest ease.

AND THEN."-The following story is told Of
St. Filippo Neri. He vas living at one Of the
Italian universities, when young man, whom he
had known as boy, ran up to him with face
fill Of delight, and told him what he had been
long wishing above all things in the world was at
length fulfilled his parents having just given him
leave to study the law and that thereupon he
had come to the law school in this univer,ity on
account OF its great fame, and meant to spare no
pains or labor in getting through bis studies as
quickly and as well as possible. ln this way he
run on long time, and when at last he came to
a stop the holy man, who had been listening to
him viii great patience and kindness, said
Well, and when you have got through your
course Of studies, what do you mean to do then ?"
"Then shall take my doctors degree" an
ssered the young man.
"And then ?" asked st. Felippo Neri again.
Aud then" continued the youth, al shall
have number Of difficult and knotty cases to
manage and shall catch peoples notice by my elo-
quence my zeal my learning, my aeuteness, and
gain great reputation
"And then P repeated the holy man.
q" And then ?" replied the youth, " why then
shall be promoted TO some high office or other !;
besides, shall make money and grow rich"
"And then P' repeated 81. Filippo Ner.
"And then" pursued the young lawyer
/" then shall live comfortably and honoraby in
health and dignity and shall be able to look
forward quietly to happy old age."
"And then ?" asked the hol, man.
"And them" said the youth" and then-and
then-I shall die !"
Here st. Fippo again lifted up bis voice and
said, "And then ," whereupon the young man
made no answer, bat cast down his head, and
wen, away. Thsa last And then ?" had pierced
like fash oi lightning into his soul, and be could
not get rid Of it. Soon after be forsook the study
Of the law and gave himself up to the ministry,
and spen, the remainder Of his days in godly
words and works.

CURE FOR SMALL Pox.-About sixty cases ot
small pox and varioloid have been treated at the
State Almshouse during the past three months,
with but ,inglc fatal result, and that was in
the case Of a man who was taken there in the
last stages Of the disease. from neighboring
town. The remedy used in all these cases was
tea made from u plant known in medicine rs
S.rraceula Purpurea, I.miliarly called Ladies
Saddle, or Water Cup, the root Of which is the
remedial part. This remedy is new discovery
IN medical science, and has been used with ex-
celent effect. The effect of the remedy Is to al
lay the fever and irritation caused by the forma-
ton Of pustulcs, the latter drying awsy rapidly,

VoLuNrEkRs AND REGULARS London
Tunes of the 10Th, in an article on the Ameri-
can war, says There is hardly regular
battalion 10 the whole Of the numerous hosts
which are contendng with such unparalleled
lerocity and resolution. The veterans who
are occasionally spoken Of cannot by possibility
be soldiers OF more than three years standing
Our own volunteers are older troops than the
Oldest troops under Grant or Lee. There Is not
regiment in either camp which was raised be-
tore the spring OF 1861 for the numbers of the
small regular army almost vanished in the mass,
aud il has never been found practicable to give
it any material increase oil strength. The whole
of this dreadful fighting has been done by vol.
unteers, aud by volunteers without as much
training as our own rlllemen. Yet these raw
companies, without professional spirit or reg.
mental traditions, with Captains snatched from
the counter or the store, and with Generals who
were attorneys lew months ago, are lighting
with as much heroisn and obstinaey AZ Nepo-
leon 1 Old Guard OF Germany's brayest warriors !
There may be little science in the business,
but of all that makes soldiers thcre is as much
AZ in any war of which We read. "
