For the Citizen.
A Soldiers, Musings.


Taken from the Scrap Book Of the late Sergt Elisha
3raeken Co. C, loo Regt, P. V.
Nine months have gone, I did not think
They'd pass soon away;
For time, though shorti-at best seems long
When flr from home stray,
Ant ah! to lead a soldiers life,
Mid weariness and pain
Makes absence often seem to be
heavy calling chain.
The Southern sky bends bright above
The tree wave gr en- below
And here beside as / dream
The ebbing waters lOw;
The prospect all ar0pnd is fair,
Nherer the eve may roam,
And soft airs fan my thou ghtful brow
But All this is not home.
Oh for lay native hills again.
The wales and brooks and streams
Where heye stfayed m autumn time,
Amid its golden dreams.
Oh for the vacs-s ~ the loved
The eyg1 Tlat looked on ME,
>44t'h3nds so often clasped in mine
= = Beneath the vine clad tree
Ahi well do remember still,
That last long lingering look.
Which turning round upon the hLl,
With swelling heart ! took.
The evening shades falling fast
Around the dear old spot
While there bade a nd farewell
Unto my fathers cot.
Methinks feel my mothers kiss,
Still warm upon my cheek
TIE kiss she gave al parting there,
strJye but could not speak.
I see my sisters bow their heads
To hide their flowing tears,
While standing by in sad calm thought
My fathers form appears.
God grant all may meet again,
when battles storm shah cease
And this fair land shall gladly smile
Within the light of peace.
Then shall we talk In summer eve,
OF all the thrilling past,
Or paint is scenes BY blazing fire,
Lulled By tho wintry blast.

gs2- The Cincinnati Gc zette re-
ferring to Fallandigham says;
There was a ludicrous caution and
exact timing in this, as if he was fear
full that if it wae known that he had
returned a moment before he began
his speech was to put his case solely
on the ground of the right to discuss
public affairs-to criticise the acts
Of the Administration, accompanied
with ostcntaticus protestations Of his
entire submissiyeness to all legal
procee dings, and his ardent desire
to stand a jury trial. Having chang
ed his case to this base and put it in
a way to be published to the world,
he then expected to be again arrested.
His wild brayado was intended to be
Just sufficient to tamt the Govern
ment to this, without giving it any
cause. Then the smoke of new
political martyrdom was to blind the
eyes Of the party, raise a new excite
ment, and force him on the Chicago
Convention for Vice President, per-
haps even for President. And as
capital in hand for this he represents
to the party throughout the country
that the Ohio Democrats who voted
for him before under the duress of
the party nomination are all his vas
sails for life.
The Conmerci0l says:
The fact seems to be about this
Vallandigham was content to remain
in exile, so long as distance lent en-
chsntmcnt to the view taken Of him
by his followers, and he found that
his absence from Ohio gave him more
notoriety that his presence in the
State would be likely to yield. But
latterly he has found himself in the
way of being forgotten. His own
party expressly disown his leadership
in the late State Convention. The
ten cent subscription dried up, and
all the money that could be scraped
together for him, being invested in
British funds, there was no likei-
hood Of farther pecuniary emolument
incidental to exile.

Supplemented Draft i'm the esd
District.

In appOrtiouing the late draft upon the
several sub-disuicts, the Board Of Enroll
ment Of the 23d District distributed
among those deficient the aggregate num-
Der Of credits which other districts had in
excess Of their quotas This was done
in order to reduce the number to the ex-
act deficit Of the district, according to or
ders at that time. The snb-districts in
deficit were charged with the number,
they received, while those in excess were
credited with the number, whatever il
was. Upon the numbers resulting from
this operation the late draft was made.
But, by the following order, it will be
seen that the Board are required to make
a draft upon each sub-district to the full
amount Of its own proper deficiency.

CITY PoTNT, June 10 via jamestown
Island-5:20 A. M-Gen. Smith, with
1900 men, attacked Petersburg this morns
ing. Gen. Butler reports from hisobserv
atory, near Bermuda Hundred, that there
had been sharp fighting and that the
troops and trains Of the enemy were, as
he writes, moving from the cityacross the
Appomattax as if retreating. Hancock
is not near enough to render Gen. Smith
any aid The Richmond papers have
nothinSto indicate suspicion Of our
crossing the James river. They expect
70 be attacked from the direction of NAL
yern Hill.

Our latest report from Smith was at 4 p.
m. lie had captured line of entrench-
meuts at Bcatty's house, the eolored troops
assa1lting and carrying the rifepits with
great gallantry, but he had not yet car

AZTEC p. IN. yesterday, Smith assault
ted and carried the principal line Of the
enemy, before Petersburg, taking thir-
teen cannon and several stands Of colors,
and between three and four hundred
prisoners. This line is two miles from
Petersburg. Hancock moved up and
took his position on Smiths left. To-
day there heavy firing in that direction
from FIVE to six o'clock. No reports has
been received yet.
After sending my dispatches Of this
morning from the headquarters southeast
Of Petersburg. went over the conquered
lines with Gen. Grant and the engineer
officers. The worksare Of the very stron-
gest kind More difficult to take than
Missionary ridge at Chattanooga. The
hardest fighting was done By black troops.
The forts they storme were the worst. AT
ten the affair was over Maj. Gen. Smith
went to thank them and tell them that he
was proud of their courage and dash. lie
says they can't be exceeded as soldiers,
and hereafter he will send them in diff

teen cannon which he took The prison

Rosecrsns Said TO be in the Rear of
Hoods Army.

(From the Louisville Journal, sd instantl
The lines In front Of Nashville remained
quiet yesterday. 1t Is thought that the rebel
general will make an effort 70 move into East
Tennessee. 1t Is not believed that he Is rash
enough to hurl his columns upon the fortiHca-
tions of Nashville. Ifsuch was his programme
he would strike without delay, well knowing
that every hour makes our position stronger,
and renders the undertaking on his part more
difficult. The impression prevails now that Q
rapid move and q desperate assault will be
made upon the wing at Murfreesboro'. Gen.
Thomas will watch the rebel movements too
well TO allow such q programme TO be carried
into successful operation.
A report was prevalent last night that large
force from Missouri, under Gen. Roeecrans,
was moving up the Tennessee river for the
purpose Of attacking Hood In the rear and
cutting of his retreat. II the report is true,
the position Of the rebel army Is indeed des.
perate, and hard fighting and able generalship
will scarcely save 1t from capture or annihlla-
tion. The situation Of our armies throughout
is decidedly cheering. 1t Is now admitted by
the rebel press that General Sherman is meet
ing with success, and that his march Is one Of
triumph. He will reach the sea-coast and be
prepared 10 strike at some of the vital points
In that portion Of the Confederacy. His cam
paign has been one OF the boldest Of the war,
and stamps him as the Ablest Of our generals.
II he reaches the sea coast, which the rebel
press admits that he will do, then Charleston
and Savannah lie at his mercy.

J. The prospects for another open winter are
favorable, which Is decidedly encouraging 70
many who, migrated to this State late in ths
season. our populstlon is rapidly on the N.
crease, psrtieulsrly In the rural districts. /
am pleased 10 notice among those who have
taken up lands during the past season many
men Of capital, who are investing largely in
sheep, being consinccd by the experience Of
old settlers that this latitude Ia peculiarly
adapted TO wool raising. We have many and
great advantages here for thls branch Of busl-
ness, and our railroad companiesy offer every
Encouragement 70 increase this business.
I, Within the past month they have been en-.
abled BY their charter 10 otfer for sale several
thousand acres In Hennein, Carver and Wight
counties. Theee lands are In close proximity
TO the Mississippi river, as well ss being
brought near 10 market hy railroad 'faciiIt,es,

quality, well Satered, with plenty of timber,

Wool raising Ia here considered the beta
business In which money can be invested, the
general good health Of sheep being q matter
worthy OF consideration. You need not be
surprised to learn, by the next census, that
Minnesota win report larger number Of sheer
than any othef State In the Union. The elocali
ties, however, which refer 10, az well as III,
counties Of Sherburne and Anoka, will be N,
most prominent In the business, and TO thos,
who purpose investlng In stock raising wouit
suggest emphstically that they try wool In
