The Clerk OF the eseOraia House OF
Representative Within our Lines.

Joseph Camp, late editor of the Atlanta
Confede1acy and the Georgia Times ana the
present Clerk of the House of Representatives
of Georgia, has arrived in Nashville, having
been compelled to leave the south in con-
sequence of the publication of an article adj
yocatng the restoration of the Union.
JEFF Davis, he says, is the greatest tyrant
living and wherever his power extends
there is neither freedom of speech nor free
dom of person; and before return to the
Union is possible, the rebel army must be
disappeared. He regards Hoods force no
longer formidable, in military point of
view; it is small in numbers, and is greatly
demoralized; bat it Is yet sufficiently strong
to intimidate unarmed people, especially as
the male proportion OF these people consists
of only decrepid old men, or young boys,
every one capable of bearing arms having
been sent to the army by the conseripting
officers. Break the army o. Lee, he thinks
and that of Hood will disperse, and there
are no Others worthy to be called military
organization east of the Missippi river.
Mr.. Camp states that the rebel leaders say
that if Mcclellan Is beaten they have no
hope; that there is not sufficient vitality in
the confederacy to keep it alive. They,
therefore, will look to eventual submission
in case of the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln; and
since the fall of Atlanta they regard that as
certain; and they are, therefore, very anxious
about the terms on which they would be al
lowed to resume their citizenship.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Death OF Major General Brine,

% .
We recently announced that Major Gene
raj David b. Birnev, commanding the 10th
Corps in the Army of the Potomac, had ar
rived iu this city, suffering from disease con-
tracted while in service before Petersburg.
We have now to state the melancholy fact that
he died last evening, ut his residence on
Race street. He was about forty-iive years
of age, and had been i'll the service ever
since the opening of the war. He COM
manded the 23d Pennsylvania Volunteers,
and from that position he was called to the
welding of a brigade. In May last he was
elected to command the Sd Division Of
Hancock's (the 2d) Corps. On the 23d of
July he was chosen by General Grant to lead
the 10th Corps, having brilliantly distin-
guished himself during the whole of Cen
eral Grants splendid campaign from the
Rapidan to the south side Of the James
river. His career Is now cut short before
the grand object of that campaign is attain
ed, but his record is a noble one, in which
every Philadelphia takes honorable pride.
General Birney was born in Alabama.
His father, James B. Birney, was planter
in that State, who manumittcd his slaves
and came to the North, and afterwards was
the abolition candidate for the Presidency.
General Birney was engaged in the mercan-
tile pursuits in this city up to the opening
of the war, and only relinquished active
civic business ut the stern cali of patriotism.
His memory will be forever honored in con-
nection with the rest of the noble host who
have laid down their lives for freedom and

APPLE SNowBALLs.--Obtain half dozen
apples, pare them, and cut them into quar-
tiers, taking care to remove the whole of the
cores. When reconstructing the position
of the apples, introduce into the cavities
caused by abstracting the cores one Glove
and thin slice of lemon-reel. Have six
small pudding cloths at hand, and one-h half
pound clean-picked Indian rice, and cover
the apples severally, one after the other, in
an upright position, with rice, tying them
up tight. Then place them in large sauce
pan of scaleing water, and let them boil for
one whole hour. On taking them up open
the tops, and intermix with the fruit little
grated nutmeg, with butter and sugar to
your taste. The above constitutes whole
some and nutritious course of food for chill
dren, and proves, withal, an economical fea-
ture in the nursery bill of fare.

why Gen. Mcclellan was Hsc-
moved.

montgomery Blair, late Postmaster Gen.
made the following important revelations in
speech at Elicotts Mills, Maryland, last
Saturday:
Why did the President relieve Gen. Nc
Clellan1 l know the impressions under
which he acted intimately. The President
was friendly to Mcclellan. / was friendly
to him, while those of more consideration
in army concerns were hostile to him. The
War Committee at Washington, and the
military authorities, consulted at every step
of its proceedings, were inimical to his re-
tention of command.
They held that his delay, with o much
superior army, to attack the enemy that re-
.mained at Bull Run after the defeat there of
a portion of our forces, from the midst of
summer to the succeeding spring, when the
enemy thought fit to retire to stronger
position; that the delay to attack the small
force at Yorktown, when the war was to be
transferred to Richmond; that the delays
and mistakes there, in keeping our army
in the swamps of the Chickah0miny until
the enemy found opportunity to attack and
defeat it, was proof that the command
should pass into other hands. The Presi-
dent, though shaken, resisted the impor-
tu1itics then made to supplant the General.
The battle of Antietam restored his con-
fdence, though painfully disappointed in
the failure to complets the defeat of the
enemy by sending forward his reserve, when
Burnside repeatedly urged it after carrying
the bridge over the Antietam, seeing the
enemy in fight, and requiring only the aid
of repressed forward TO cover his retreat. -
The delay, then, it was contended, gave the
enemy the night, ana the succeeding day
and night, to cross the Potomac. This fatal
delay, and the refusal of Mcclellan to press
a pursuit on Lees demoraliZed army imme-
diately after when the fords of the Potomac
gave him opportunity to do so, or to head
his from his base nearer Richmond, by tax
ing the shorter line and cutting him of by
interposing in front, were again made the
grounds of a demand for his removal.
The President adhered to him--went TO
him in his headquarters at Antietam-urged
him 20 move to anticipate Lee and comfort
him, if not in the valley between the noun
tains, to interpose between him and the
! Rappaiionnock below them. This was the
peremptory of the President, apparent or
the face of the well-reasoned letter lie ad
dressed to his general. He failed to meet
the demands made on him by the man who
took all the sponsibility-who tried al
! first persuasion, and at last exaction, anC
| felt that there was nothing left but to carry
out his resolution, which a sense of duty
had compelled him to adopt. Here are the
simple facts, and they explain the Prcsi
dents motives.

HoMINY.-There are three sizes of hominv.
Large hominy requires to be boiled from
four to five hours over u gentle fire. 1t
should be washed clean, and put in tho
stewpan with just enough water to cover it.
1t is eaten as vegetable. To cook the
smaller hominy, wash it in two waters :;
then to one teacupful of hominy add quart
of water and a teaspoonfull of salt, and
place the dish that contains it in kettle of
boiling water, to prevent it from getting
burnt, or else over a very gentle fire. Let
it boil for an hour, stirring it well with a
spoon. 1t is generally eaten for breakfast.
1t is excellent, sliced and fried, after it has
become cold

A Voice from the Ar,

A Voice from the Army.
"JUsr BEFORE THE BATTLE, MOTHER"
Just before election brothers,
We are thinking most of you.
While on picket, or in trenches,
with the enemy in view."
Bravely we have fought and suffered,
And with wounds and fevers died,
That the bright, tri-colored banner,
Still may float in starry pride.
CHoRUs-Listen, brothers, you may never
Hear from us IN life again,
But oh! you'll not forget us brothers,
If we're numbered with the slain.
Every night in dreams we see you
In those pleasant Northern homes.
Where the peaceful dawn Of morning
Brings no sturring roll of drums,
And it costs pang of sorrow
That ungrateful men there be
Who would sell their countrys honor
And her SOldiers' liberty.
CHoRUs-Tell them we can face the bullets
That their Southern friends shall send
But, obi we'll not forget them,
Wien this "cruet acar" shall end.
All along the rebel earthworks
We have savage shoutings heard,
You will scarce believe 1t, brothers,
But INC C(ellan" was the word.
Think Of that, ye northern voters,
Will We make such demons gloatl
Ask our fallen comrades widows,
They will tell you how to vote.
CHoRUs-Sonless mothers, weeping sisters,
Raise emploring hands to you,
And, oh! you'll forget them, brothers
And destroy Their Country too.
Let the traitors keep their pity,
We are soldiers, and can bear
All the hardships of the struggle,
And have courage yet to spare;
And we ask no wiser helmsman
At the ship of State than he
Who has paid, and clothed, and fed US,
AS the Army of the Free.
CHoRus-Hark. it is the bugal sounding,
Grant still finds us work to do,
But, oh! we'll not FORGET those traitors
When this bloody war is thro'.
