INCIDENTS OF THE BATTLES IN VIRGINIA.

i
GEN. HANCOCK AT THE WILDERNESS
| Always at the front when danger most
| threatened, ubiquitous. at one time leaning
upon the breech of blackened and hell,
vomiting gun, instructing the gunners where
| to direct their fire, at another, along the in
fantry lines, encouraging the men, now or
dering up reinforcements or making changes
in the lines, and always exposed to the MUIR
derous fire sharp shooters and the sweeping
storm of shot and shell. "At one time, when
he was directing the fire of battery in the
captured works, and when cannoneers and
gunners were falling torn and mangled
around him." said an officer to the writer
yesterday. 81 felt an almost irresistible i'm
pulse to approach him and say, General, for
Gods sake, retire to less dangerous posi-
ton! Tall and portly, he must have made
an excellent target for the enemy. but for
tunately for the country, to which his SER
vices are so invaluable, he escaped unscath-

WE'LL RALLY ROUND THE FLAG, Boys
During one of these eventful nights. when
troops lay in line. of battle behind their tenn
porary Notifications of dirt, logs, and rails,
and the continuous crack of the sharp
sh oter's rifle rolled along our front, soii-
tary voice struck up the patriotic song, .'Ral-
ly round the flag, boys" and almost instant
ly thousands of the men, who seemed to
have been waiting for something to dissipate
the gloom which thoughts of the days car
Eage had cngendered, were shouting in a
chorus which ''shook the depth of the
forests gloom :"
"Thc Union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitors and up with the stars &c
AS down there line it went, the rain
swelled into one vast roar, exultant, trium-
phant, and breathing defiance to the wary
enemy, whose only reply was the spiteful
whiz of extra bullets from their skirmish
line whistling harmlessy by. This little
episode tended greatly to inspire our troops
and could not but have equally irritated
johnny Reb."
BELLIGERENT CANINE-A singular in
stance of doggish-hatred to "gray backs" is
found in the case of the slut Sally, belong
ing to the 10th Massachusetts Volunteers.
She has participated in every battle in
which her regiment has been engaged, and
seems to take great interest in the success
Of the blue Jackets, to whom she is invaria-
bly, kind and affectionate. But a "grayback"
is her especial detestation, which she always
exhibits by biting at them whenever they
are brought within the reach of her chain. |
She accompanies the regiment ON picket, |
but is always sufficiently discreet to keep !
within our lines, where she vents her rage |

'kirmishers. AT the battle of Fredericks-
burg her legs was broken, and, after the
wound was dressed by some kind'hearted
surgeon, Sally returned to the field on three
egs, and doggedly refused to leave until
he conclusion of the battle This time she
'scaped unharmed, and is ready at any mo-
nent to participate in the next engagement.

How many Marry and Love.

Young man meets pretty face in the
ballroom, falls in love with it, courts it,
marries it, goes TO housekeeping with it,
and boasts of having home and wife to
grace it. The chances are nine to one he
has neither. Her pretty face gets to be an
old story-or becomes faded or freck led or
fretted-and as the face was all he wanted,
and all he set up with, all he bargained for,
all he swore TO love, honor and protect, he
gets sick of his trade, knows a dozen faces
which he likes better, gives up staying at
home evenings, consoles himself with cigars,
oysters and politics, and looks upon home
as a very indifferent boarding house. A
family of children grow up about him, but
neither he nor his "face" knows ANYTHING
about training them so they come up heller
skelter made toys of when babies, dolls,
when boys and girls, drudges when young
men and women; and SO passes year after
year, and not one quiet happy homely hour
is known throughout the whole household.
Another young man becomes enamored of
fortune" lie waits upon il to parties,
dances the polka with it, exchanges billet
doux with it, pops the question TO it, gets
"yes" from 1t, takes it home, sets up an es-
tabiishment with it, introduces it TO his
friends, and says, (poor fellow y he, too, is
married and got home. It's false.-IIe Is
not married; he has no home. And he
soon finds it out. Hes in the wrong box,
but it's too late 10 get out of IT, lie might

The Dress Reform.

APPEAL OF LOYAL WOMEN TO SENSIBLE MES
In all great emergencies women naturally
looks to man for aid. God has so ordained
and we are told she was created as help nioet
for him. 1t seems still to be the rule and
practice of woman to call upon man, and tn
expect his reponse with al! his powers, so
carrying out the original idea of partner
ship. This idea valves the question of
rights, equality of powers, and all question
OF substitutions either way.
On the movement which called topetber
the earnest, loyal, truth seeking woman at
the Cooper Institute, there seems to be a
mistaken opinion as to their wishes and in
tentlons. They did not go there to act or
occine-they went there TO learn how to
act and decide. They called in unwonted
numlilty upon the men as teachers, beliey-
! ing that they were themselves incompetent
to decide on the great question of the reye.

many OF them, to their self-sacritice. But
they were misunderstood. Men told them

ments 1t was found necessary to advance
| their skirmish line. In doing so the skir.
mishers ran against the rebel line. Imme.
dlateiy heavy artillery and musketry fire
opened from both contestants, which lasted
until two o'clock in the morning. The
night battle was desperate and losses on
both sides heavy, probably three hundred
killed and wounded. At two the rebels
were repulsed along the whole line deaf
ening cheer rang out on the night air, and
all was still save the pitcous means of the
dying, who lay upon the bloody field,
awaiting with anxiety the early dawn, when
they were gathered into the hospitals and
every care bestowed upon them by our hard
working surgeons.
"On Monday the rebel army retreated.
OUR TOTAL LOSSES
are estimated at from four to five thousand.
OF whom fully two thousand are so slightly
wounded in the hands and feet that they
will be bit for duty in three or four weeks
The killed will amount to about eight hun

who have left behind them brilliant records.

too, will mourn the loss of many of her
brave sons.
THE PRISONERS IN OUR HANDS.

prisoners and deser.ers, including many
Colonels, Lieutenant-C Colonies, Majors, and
line and staff officers. Many of them were
willing prisoners, who remained in the rebel
works and surrendered when We advanced

THE EXTENT OF OUR VICTORY.
For the benefit of those croakers who
are never satisfied with the results of our
movements upon the enemy, will briefly
state wherein our victory consists. We have
driven the enemy over forty miles, compell-
ed him to evacuate position at Buzzard
Roost that may be justly styled the strong
hold of the Confederacy recovered a large
amount of territory, repulsed Johnston in
every attack upon our lines, taken four
tho usand prisoners compelled him to aban-
don his Notifications near Resaca, and de-
stroyed his whole ammunition and sup
ply trains inflicted heavy losses upon him,
and demOraized his army to a great extent.
AS an offset, the enemy has taken but one
hundred or one hundred and fifty prisoners,
inflicted loss upon us equal to their own,
and by their precipitate retreat stimulated
our troops to greater efforts when they
again meet Johnston and his horde upon the
field Of battle.

THE PARsNIP.-The parsnip is one of the
most valuable roots that can be grown. In
the Island of Jersey it is used almost exclu-
sively for tattening both cattle and swine.
According to lie Contour, the weight of a
good crop varies from thirteen to twenty-sev-
en- tons per acre. When parsnips are given to
mich cows with a little hay, in the winter
season, the butter is found to be of rs fine
color and excellent flavor as when the ami
mails are feeding in the best pastures. As
parsnips contain six per cent. more muciI-
age than carrots, the difference NAV be
sufficient to account for the superior fatten-
ing as well as the butter making quality of
the parsnip. In the fattening of cattle the
parsnip is found superior to the carrot, per-
forming the business with more expedition
and atfording meat Of exquisite and highly
juicy flavor; the animals eat it with much
greediness.
The result of the experiment has shown
that not only in neat cattle, but in the fat
tening of hogs aud poultry, the animals he
come fat much sooner, and are more healthy
than when fed with any other root or vegeta-
Die, and that, besides, the meat is more
sweet and delicious. The parsnip leaves
being more bulky than those of carrots,
may be mown off before taking the roots.
and given to the oxen, cows o. horses, by
which they will be greedily eaten. Another
thing in favor of parsnips for this country
is that the frost does not injure them. They
remain in the ground until spring when
they make splendid feed at a .ime every
other root is scarce, or they may be slightly
buried, where they can be obtained almost
any time during the winter. On account
of their rapid growth when young the weed
ing is less trouble than wedding Carrots
