BRANDING. THE YANKEE TRoops.-The
"suggestion," of6cially> made by the chief
medical officer: of the volunteer service, provost
marshals bureau, that all accepted recruits
should be marked with the letter I in the
small of the back has created good deal of
Indignation among some of the Yankee pa pcrs.
Ihe Chicago Times, commenting on it, says ::
"The farmer brands his cipher upon bis
hog; the slave driver, inc asc of an incorrigi-
Die slave, brands a letter upon his hand; the
French, in their days of barbarism, branded
the Infamous T.yF. P. upon the shoulder Of
the galley slave; but today the only white
men on earth who arc forced to undergo what
civilization long since rejected as too scanda
lous and ignominious are the people who call
themselves Americans. Is it not utterly shame
full that men to whom has decended the her.

revolution should to-day be not only the abicct
slaves OF coarse, brutal tyrant, but that his
minions should brand upon their backs marks

Extracts for Young Men.

Give young man taste for reading,
and in that single disposition you have
furnished him with great safeguard. He
has found at home that which others have
to seek abroad, namely, pleasureable
excitement. He.has learned to think even
when his book is no longer in his hand, and
1t is TOR want of thinking that youth 20 to
ruin.
Some ofthose who have been most eminent
in learning and sciences, made their first
attainments In snatches Of time stolen from
manual employment. Hans Sachs the poet
OF the Reformation and the Burns Of Ger
many, began life as did Burns, poor boy;
he wss taior's son and served ensappren-
ticeship first to shoemaker and afterwards
a weaver, and continued to work at the loom
as long as he lived. The great drsmstist.
Ben. johnson, was working brick layer,
and afterward soldier. Lionicus the father
OF modern botany, Twas once on the shos-
makers bench. Our immortal Franklin, 10
need scarcely be said, was a printer. Her
schel, whose name is inscribed On the Heav-
ems, was the son of poor; musician, and OF
the age OF fourteen years was placed in q
band attached to the Hanoverian Guards.
After going to England, he undertook to
teach music, and then became an organist.
But while he was supporting himself iuithis
way he was learning Italian, Latin and even
Greek. From music be was naturally led to
mathematics, and thence to opticss and
astronomy. John Dolland, the inventor Of
the arhromatic telescope, spent his early
years at the silk loom, :and continued in his
original business even for some years after
his eldest son came to an age to join him in
it. Few cases are more celebrated then that
of Clifford, the founder and editor of Quar-
| terly Review. He was an orphan, and barely
ESCAPED the poor house. He bscame q ship
boy 9: the most menial sort, on board OF .
coasting vessel He was afterwards, for SIX
years, apprcnticed to shoemaker. In this
last employment he stole time from the last
for arithmetic and algebra and for lack Of
other conveniences used to work ont his
problems on leather with blunted! awl.
Few names are more noted in modern
literature.

in session here to-day. adopted report by q
vote of 4S against 10, which they declared as
follows:
''That we owe piedege of exclusive alle-
glance to. the Government of the United
States in war and in peace, and to its CEN
stitutional administration in every depart
ment thereof, and that we therefor affection
ately exhort our people who, by position,
kindred or interest, may have been tempted
to sympathize with those who seek the
overthrow OF this Government, to seek the
word of God as above recited. to not esteem
loyalty thereto as optional, or matter OF
taste or preference, but one Of divine injunc.
ton, and as involving the religious duty Of
prayer and effort for the restoration of oui
national unity, peace and prosperity. In
the language Of the disciple, to use al
higher means to enjein obeisance to the
powers that be.
That we will not receive into tho Con
ference, or elect to ministerial orders, either
from the local or itinerant ranks, any man
of known disloyalty.
That in view of the great change in the
Providence of God, which is taking place
In the public mind in the direction of eman'

Three Years ago and VOW.

Dir. Forney writes to his Press from Wash
ington under date of March lst, a. follows:
The month Of March, 1861, was month
Oh agonizlng suspense. 1t began with the
organization Of Mr. Lineolns Admiuistra-
tion, and closed with the fact clearly de-
monstrated that the madness of Secession
would be succeeded by armed and spgres-
slve rebellion. The month Of March,
1864, the beginning of the fourth year of
the attempt to destroy the Republic, threat
ems to be far more exciting, and, 10, ia hone,
completely decisive of the war. Three years
ago the rebellion was only preparing to leap
at the throat and drink the heart's-blood of
the nation. To-day it is prepared to make
its last and most desperate effort. Its re-
naming energies aud resources arc to be
put form. In all probability, the greatest
battles Of the war will be fought within the
thirty-ono days that begin to-day. Never
was the military situation more interesting
and extensive. Great armies are standing
face to face in Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama,
North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia,
Louisiana, Florida, Texas, 60. Mighty
fleets hold the long line of the seeding coast
or ride in the great rivers, bays, roadsteads,
and harbors of the South Such is the pros
pect before the astonished nations Of the
earth. The issue will be sanguinary issue,
but it cannot be doubtful one. The rebsls
have gathered all their material for the
conflict, and their true condition is shown
in the fact, that, whileithey swear never to
surrender or yield, their cries for food, raj
ment, ammunition, and men are like the wall
Of fallen angels hurrying With resistless
momentum to their inevitable doom. Be
hind them are a great people, fresh, invig-
Grated, aud sternly resolved to save their
government. Before them, and close to
their ragged but fanatic battalions, are their
desolated Grssides, depopulated towns, and
scourged plantations, the work of their own
traitor chiefs, who have taken everything
to feed and fill the armies Of slavery. This
is the near future. 1t does not appal the
friends Of the Government. In the loyal
States the very imminence of fast coming
hostilities has stirred the hearts OF the
loyal people to their profoundsst depths
Thousands are rc.entering the army. Mil
lions are being subscribed to increase the
comfort Of their families, to cure the sick,
to heal the wounded, and provide for the
families Of the dead No voice comes from
this noble people but the voice of Hope,
Perseverance, and awful Resolve. And may
God decide for us in this the most critical
period OF the war OCCASIONAL.

Things that make a Patriot Mad.

To hear men who have never resi the
Constitution, and never heard it read, rant
ing about its violation.
To hear men who never did q days labor
in their lives bowling about the influx of
negroes, and its injustice to the white labor
era. ....
To hear men rave about the Presidents S
violation OF the Constitution, who are SO ut
terry stupid or knavish that they have never
ascertained that the rebellion is in violation
of the Constitution.
To hear. men who care not for law-for
God nor man--and who live in daily viola
tion of law, prating about law.
To hear men who, were they South, would
be treated as the poorest and Deanest white
trash" taunted as "maudsills, greasy me-
chanics, &C., upholding the very men who
so degrade labor and despise those who do
not own negroes.
To hear them justifying JEFF. Davis. and
the South, who have not the manhood and
decency to 20 South aud seek home which
! they like SO well.
| To hear man who loves slavery more
than his country or freedom,
To hear drunken, leprous, thiekheaded,
gaunt locking libel upon manhood, beiching
out abolition.
To hear a man talking about peace and
compromise after he has been kicked and spi,
upon by the South Oswego Times.

A Romantic Incident-Strang
InsanIty-A Female Soldier
Her Sad History.
.lFron the Detroit Adver,iser.l

.lrroh the Detroit hovernserl
We have just been put in possession of
the facts of sad case OF monomana, which
had sad case of termination. A young
lady residing in Brooklyn, New York, about
l9 years of age, about year since became
inspired with the idea that she was second
and modern Joan Of Arc, called by Provi-
dence to lead our armies to certain victory
in this contest. The hallueination was q
strong one, and change of scene being sug-
gested by her physician, she was brought to
Ann Arbor, in this State. Her mania, how
ever, increased until it was found necessary
to confne her to her apartment. She, how.
ever, succeeded in making her escape, came
to this city and joined the drum corps of a
Michigan regiment, her sex only known to
herself, and succeeded in getting with her
regiment to the Army Of the Cumberland
How the poor girl survived the hardsbips of
the Kentucky campaign, where strong men
fell in numbers, must forever remain mys-
terry.
The regiment to which she was attached
had place in the division of the gallant
Van Cleve, and during the bloody battle of
Lookout Mountain, the fair girl fell, pierced
in the left side by Mimic ball, and when
borne to the surgeons tent her sex was dis
covered. She was told by the surgeon that
her wound was mortal, and he advised her
to give her name that her family might be
Informed OF her fate. This she finally,
though reluctantly, consented to do, and the
Colonel of the regiment, although suffering
himself from painful wound, became in
terested in her behalf and prevailed upor
her to let him send dispatch to her father
This she dictated in the following manner
Mr.. -, No. -, Willoughby street

Forgive your dying daughter. 1 have but
a few moments to live. My native sol

country, but the fates would not have it so.
am content to die. Pray, Pa, forgive me.
Tell Ma to kiss my daguerreotyPe;

The poor girl was buried on the field on
which she fell in the service of her country,
which she fondly hoped to save.
