How Bishop Polk got into an Inai-
ANA Regiment.

How Bishop Polk rot into an Inal.
ANA Regiment.
Colonel Freemantle, the English officer
who has returned home from the rebel
service to write a volume on the war, re-
lates the following story which, he says,
was told him by Bishop Polk himself:
"Well, sir, it was at the battle Of
Perryville, late in the evening-in fact,
it was almost dark-when LindelPs (reb-
ely battery came into action. Shortly af-
ter the arrival, Bishop Polk observed
body of men, whom l thought to be
Confederates, standing at an angle to this
brigade, and firing obliquely at the new
ly-arrived troops. said, Dear me, this
is very sad. and must be stopped : so l
turned round, but could find none of my
young men so l determined to ride my
self and settle the matter. Having can
tered up to the Colonel of the regiment
that was firing, / asked him in angry
tones, what he meant by shooting his
own friends. He answered, with sur
prise, don't think there can be any
mistake about it; l am sure they are the
enemy 'Enemyl' l said, why, have
only just left them myself. Cease firing.
Sir. What is your name?' My name
is Colonel -, Of the - Indiana

my dark blouse and the increasing obscu-
rity befriended ne SO l approached quite
close to him, and shook my fist in his
face, saying, 'Tll show you who l am,
Sir Cease firing, Sir, at once ! | then
turned my horse and cantered slowly
down the line. shouting in an authorize
tive manner to the Yankees, to cease fir

Colonel, have reconnoitered those fell

Grant is gradually tightening his grasp on the
rebel capital, and the situation is promising.
Sheridan has achieved another brilliant vic
tory in the Shenandoah valley. The last figh,
occurred on Sunday, was a cavalry contest ,
and resulted in disastrous defeat of the reb
els. The particulars of the fight will be found
detailed elsewhere.
The news from Sherman is also favorable
The Efforts of Hood to operate in his rear DO
not appear to have been attended with much
success, and the severe defeat they sustained a,
AliatOOna has taught them a fresh lesson of the
invincibility of the Union army.
From Missouri the news is also favorable.
Price has commenced retrograde movement,
and is evidently trying to escape from the
State. ROsecrans is on his trail, and it is to
be hoped will succeed in overhaluing him be-
fore be gets out
The rebel dependency is extreme, and no
efforts are made to disguise it. They are
peril city desperate, and, in the expressive Ian
gusge Of Grant, are literally "rObbing both the
cradle and the grave" to fill up the depleted
ranks OF their army.

The few returns received from localitits
where soldiers vote show that the boys in

Union cause. The vote as far as heard from
ranges about 10 Union to 1 opposition. Tn,
hope TO gain the vote of the soldiers by nomi-
mating Mcclellan will not be realized. Lin
eOln will beat him in the army more thorough
ly than in the States-aud his defeat in both
the States and the army will be SO disastrous
that he will never again be heard of as a Presi
