THE EAGLE OF THE EIGHTH WIS.


Who has not heard OF the Eagle of the
Eighth Wisconsin Regiment? From the for.
nation Of the Regiment it has been an impor-
tant member. A correspondent of the Viro-
qua (Wis.) Tines gives the following inter-
esting particulars Of "Old Abe" the Eagle
! "Old Abe " is an intelligent bird, and un.
derstands himself When at liberty to 90
where he,pleases. the suffers tent is his ia
! vorite resort If any live chickens are to be
. found, he is sure 10 pounce on one, selling it
with one claw, and hobb!ing off on the other
with the aid of his wings. Old Abe, we are
sorry to say, is quite a thief There is one
fayorite dog in the regiment with which the
! Eagle keeps on good terms. They will both
eat together at the beginning of the meal, but
towards the close, as provisions get scarce,
| the Eagle will pitch into the dog and drive
him off, If horse comes within reach, Mr..
/ Eagle is sure to exhibit his superiority over
the quodrupedal creation by hopping onto
the nag and inserting his talons in no very
complimentary manner. 4, -s-
Old Abe maniiests his appreciation of ora
tory i'll a very unique manner.
When distinguished officer comes along
and addresses the troops, he joins with the
soldiers in their cheers. His method of cheer
ing is to spread his pinions to their utmost
extent. and then jump up and down on his
perch. This mode Of applause adopted by
the Eagle is said to be very inspiring to the
Orator.
When the Regiment is engaged in battle,
| Old Abe maniiIsts the liercest delight, At
such time he will always be found in his
appropriate place at the head OF Company d.
To be seen in all his glory, he should be seen
when the Regiment is cnveloped in the
smoke of battle. Then the Eagle with spread
pinions jumps up and down on his perch,
uttering such wild fearful screams as an Ea-
gle alone can utter. The fiercer, wilder, and
louder the storm of battle, the fiercer, wilder
and louder the scream of the Eagle.
Twice Old Abe has been hit by secession
bullets, one shot carried away third part of
his tail feathers. He is universal favorite
and has been carried with the Regiment
through seven States. Thousands flock to
see him, and he is fast becoming famous.
When the war is over with, this Eagle
should be kept at the expense of the State.
at the Capitol in Madison, and the heroic
Warrior who bore him safely through should
be pensioncd by the State and be retained as
the keeper Of the Eagle. To this we are sure
all the people Of the State will agree. What
n grand history he will have--what grand
Eagle he will be a hundred years hence
Pilgrims would come in vast ,nultitudes from
all parts of the world to see the Eagle that
was borne through this, our second war for
Independence. Yes Let the Eagle become
n State Institution after the war is over. His
name is already recorded in history"

A SIsTEE's LovE.-There is no purcr feel
ing kindlcd upon the altar OF hu.naa affection
than sisters pure, uncontaminated love for
her brother. 1t is unlike all other affection !;
so disconnected with selfish scnsualty so
feminine in its development, SO dignified and
vet, withal SO fond, so devoted. Nothing can
alter it, nothing can suppress it. The world
may reyolyc, and its revelation effect changes
in the fortunes, the character, and the DISPOSE.
ton Of her brother yet if he wants, whose
hands will so readily stretch out to supply
him as a,sister's? And if his character is ma
ligned, whose voice will SO readily swell in
his advocacy. Next to mothers unqucnch-
able love, sisters is pre-enlinent. 1t rests
so exclusively on the tie Of consanguinity for
IFS sustenance /; it is so wholly Invested of pas
sion, and springs from such a deep recess in
the human bosom, that when sister once
fondly and deeply regards her brother, that
affection is blended with her existence, and
the lamp that nourishes it expires only with
that existence. In all the annals of crime, it
is considered anomalous to find the hand OF
sister raised in anger against brother, or
her heart nurturing the seeds of hatred, envy
or revenge in regard to that brother.

From Sherman.

New YORK, March 5.-A special to the
Commercial from Washington says. 1t is
known here that Gen. Sherman was not
back at Vicksburg, to start on new expe-
dition on the Oath as was contemplated, he
will, however, soon be heard from again in
active operations.
1t is not believed here in military circles
that Admiral Farragut intended to ACCOM-
plish anything more at Mobile than to make
a demonstration to draw the attention OF
the rebels from other points of operation.
There are stories afloat here to the effect
that the testimony of Gen. Sickles, touching
the battle of Gettysburg, will make it ne
cessary for Gen. Meade to resign command
of the Army of the Potomac. In that case
either Gen. Hooker or Gen. Smith will be
his successor. Gen. Grant it is said has
recommended Smith.
