To OBTAIN THE REMOVAL OF THE REMAINS OF
SOLDIERS TO THEIR HoMEs.-For the accom-
pishment of this desire of the friends of soldiers
dying in the army hospital in this city the Gov
eminent provides every facility within its power
as it does to secure their decent interment here
when the bodies are not called for by their
friends. The course to be pursued by the friends
is as follows -. =. ? = -
To be on hand themselves, or by deputy, fully
the death of the soldier; go to the hospital and
secure record of the death and q request for
provision for interment, signed by the surgeon
of the hospital, and addressed to Captain Moore,
A. @. NJ, 1874, + street west with said memoran-
dunn to proceed to said office before O'clock,
P. M, and there obtain an order on the superin-
tendent of the issuing office for a coffin and
hearse, when the body will be transported to any
point in about the city, whittier the friends
may desire it to be sent, whether to the embalm-
ers, the express Office railroad depot, steamboat
landing, or elsewhere. The coffin should be en-
closed in box, which the friends or their agent
| should procure and have taken to the hospital,
moval from the hospital. The Government fur
nishes said boxes for officers, but not for pri-
| Yates. The cost Of the box is about So.
In all these matters the agent of the State to
can and should assist the friends or their agent
The State of Pennsylvania authorizes it's agent
to furnish a ticket OF transportation (from this
city to their homes), of the body, and one person
accompanying it; the State of New York fur
nishes part tran .portation. The friends of SOL
diers of other States have to pay all the expenses
themselves.
| Care should be taken that the bodies are well
embalmed, otherwise the railroads will not carry
| them. They have been compelled to put them
| off and bury them by the roadside in several
| instances, on account of the miserable manner
in which they were prepared.
Unless the friends secure the body before burial
at this season, they cannot obtain it, for the Gov
eminent allows no bodies to be exhumed until

HUMoRs OF THE WAR.-Amongst the guns in
position in Grants camp is one which the men
have named the Petersburg Express 1t is a
thirty FOUNDER Parrott and is said to make good
time.
Recently General Sherman found the rebel
forces opposite retaining their artillery fire for
several days, and no amount of artillery practice
from our side sufficed to draw on the rebel gum
ners. Sherman was of opinion that the rebel
artillery was there, but that Johnson or Ewell
was tempting him to make assault, and had
secretly massed his guns to infict a murderous
repulse. How to discover where the rebel guns
were placed was now the question.
All other efforts failing Sherman at last un-
covered the rebel batteries by the help of an in
genious practical joke. The railroad track
stretched past part of our front, and down close
to the rebel line, which is skirted for some dis
lance. Sherman started locomotive down the
track at full speed toward the right.
They heard it's shrill shrek, saw it with
amazement come tearing down toward their
breastworks, and suspecting they did not know
what trick, at last, unable to hold in any longer
blazed away with their whole line of batteries at
the mysterious monster. That was all Sherman
wanted.

THE YACHT DEERHoUND.-We learn that the
British yacht Deerhound, which happened to be
so OPPORTUNITY near the Alabama during her
fight with the Kearsarge, and which rescued her
commander, and at his urgent request took him
into British harbor of refuge is owned by the
firm of Fraser, Trenholm & Co. ofLiverpool who
a. the Rebel agents for that port and that she is
is thus almost as really Rebel property as the
Alabama herself. 1t probably was not wholly
accidental that she happened to be on the spot at
that particular time.-N. Y. Times.

The Effect of the Enrolment Act.

Many are the persons who are expressing
fears at the effect which the repeal of the $500
Communication clause, in the enrolment act will
have upon the people of the United States.
The process of sitting the bad from the good,
is one which is ever accompanied with pains and
trials; but the nation, purified and made better,
looks back over the way by which it came to
stronger, loftier and nobler position, with few
tears but for the heroic dead in the "Grave
Yard of the South and many blessings upon
Him whose hand led it from destruction to a
path of safety and honor.
The present time, and especially the amended
enrolment act, is sitting the truly loyal and
stern hearted from out the company of doubtful
defenders of the Union and actual traitors.
Hereafter it will be known upon whom the
nation can rely in it's inky hours of darkness
and dependency. The Republic needs the
arms of her sons and she needs them now. But
need them much as she Llay, she needs to call
out true men, and mark well those who lily sup
port her. The loyal men of this nation
bear the burden of this generation although
they be doubled by the treachery of the disloyal.
At some periods in nations existence, events
pass through it's length, gathering together the
true people, that in coming ages, generations
may look back for example, and find strong,
bright burning headlights by which future
this.
Let those who are loyal show their hands and
with no marked money in their pieces. Let those
who will now desert their country because she
has real burdens for them to bear. The country
may not well spare them, but their presence is
more pernicious than their open hostility. If
they must drag down their nation while they
cling to it, let them let go their holds, that the
old "Ship of State" may unencumbered ride
out on stormy billow to engage an enemy tire
less for her destruction. The nation would they
were with her defenders but she wishes them
only condition of their hearts being with
their work. Rally around your several flags,
o, people; the disloyal, faint-hearted and hest
tating around the banner borne by those of
whose very graves nation is ashamed the
loyal around that flag which floats as the ensign
of the oppressed and down trodden nationalities
of every tongue and cline.
1t may be that many will desert the present
administration, BECAUSE during it's course, it has
had to bear the brunt of battle raging for CEN
turtles, and whose utmost fury is now desolating
our land, and bearing it, has given each citizen
of the great commonwealth his portion. If it
must be that they go,-if it must be that the
storm for them prove too severe,-if it must be
that the battle for them wax too If it must
be that the issue for them is too great,if Unjust
be that for them the burden borne by their faith
ers is too heavy, and that now they must turn
back in the hour of battle, let all the loyal say
with unfaltering hearts, " farewell" Then will
there be left loyal men enough to execute the
go'' | *x*
