Lewis had plenty of money to pay for at

''friends of the soldiers" and they will turn
him out to die in tIe poor house. Stark Co.

ATLANrA.-The city is laid out in n circle,
two miles in diameter, in the centre Of which is
the passenger depot from which radiato rail-
roads 10 every quarter of the COn,edeTaey. On
the north side of the depot is park, enclosed
and ornnmented with trees and towering shrubs.
Opposite the three vacant sides are situated tho
three principal hotels In the business portion
of the city are many fine blocks Of buildings.-
Before the war these were mostly filed with
consignments of goods from the large cities Of
the North and Northwest for the supply of the
cotton regions. Now the city is one vast Gov
erument storebouse. Here are located the ma
chino shops of the principal railroads the most
extensive rolling mill in the South, foundries,
pistol and tent factories, &c., sc. Iu addition,
the Government have works for casting shot aud
shell, making gun carriages, cartridges, caps,
shoes, clothing, &c., &c.

IDLE GIRLs.-The number of idle useless
girls in all of our large cities seems to be steaui
" increasing. They lounge or sleep through
their mornings. parade the streets during tne
aftefnoons, and assemble in frivolous companies
of their own and the other sex to pass away
their evenings. What store of unhappiness
for themselves and others are they laying up fol
the coming time, when real duties and high re-
sponsbilities shall be thoughtlessly assumed
they are skilled iu no domestic duty-nay' they
taste for the useful What will they be as wives
and mothers? Alas, for the husbands aud eAlIa- d.

THE sIEaE OF PETERSBURG.

During the time that Grant has been before
Petersburg he has been far from idle. Instead
of having any idea of retiring from the south
side of Richmond, hisrecent measures have been
directed to the permanent safety of his cominu-
ncat0ns via the James River. For this purpose
he has induced Admiral Lee 10 sink vessels at
the highest point to which our navy peneltates,
in order to prevent the rebel rams from getting
at our transports. Now although our monitors
are no doubt strong enough 10 cope with these
rams yet good General cannot afford to run
any risk whatever in so important matter us
his supplies, and therefore he has guarded
against these rams by preventing their passage
down the river. As this policy has been cen
sured as u reflection on our navy, it is as well to
remember that we know nothing Of the construc
tion or power of the rebel rams, aud that our
present monitor fleet is almost wholly untriel in
any such conflict.
lie has also planted his batteries in such
manner as to be able to shell the railroad and
common bridges across the Appotloma1 river at
Petersburg as well as lleAuregard's pontoon
bridge. All these have been rendered impass-
able to the enemy. The batteries which have
done this weTo themselves enliladOd and taken
in reverse by the rebel batteries on the opposite
side oil the river, brit Grant obviated this by
means Of strong traversea so that our men aud
guns arc we'll protected Although Petersburg
has not yet been shelled, every part of it lies
under our guns, and it has been found necessary
to shell bodies Of rebel troops seen in the town,
from which fact the people got scared and began
to leave. Grant has mounted heavy siege gune
to command the rebel works across the river
The city, according to the correspondents. is
fast being cnvelOped by Grants approaches.
This once completed, and the siege rendered
perfect by means of formidable works, a
single corps can prosecute it successfully, for
Beauregard q too well aware of the strength Of
earthworls to assume the offensive against them.

Yankee Curiosity-Big shanty Scenes


At Big Shanty, on the Atlanta line of rail
road, stands quite respectable looking two
stotied wooden hotel, which in peace times was
nsed as the dinner station for the famshed pas
sengers travelling from Chattanooga, Tenn, to
Atlanta, Ga.
On Friday, while some of our cavalry were
out On reconnaissance, shelliug the woods, one
of our shells passed through a part of the
hotel entering a large sleeping apartment cou-
tanning some eight or ten bedsteads, and passing
through the bedsteud out of the south side of the
room, the shell burst in the yard. AT this time
several Rebel officers were partakiug leisurelS
of sumptuous dinner, and, without waiting fol
orders, they changed their base, retiring IN TIT
widest confusion. Several ladies were in th'
hotel at the time this unruly "Yankee" messeng
er entered, and one of them was in the room
through which the shell whizzed on its deadl,
errand, but fortunately the fuse was long enOug
20 prevent its explosion for several seconds
thereby saving the terrified woman's life.
Upon the arrival of our advance nt Big Shan
ty, this hotel which was quite well furnished 70
| this section of the country, was guarded. Th
owners having abandoned the property the guar
was relieved, mud in less than half an hour th
rooms were filed, yes, the hotel was fairly be

REPORTS OF BEBEL PRIsoNERs.- Rebel prison
ers report Richmond prepared for long siege,
and state that for three months past army sup
plies have been forwarded to the city in antici-
patton of Grants intentions. Most of the rebel
prisoners taken are still hopeful and confident of
ultimate success. "lp what" they sneeringly
ask, "has Grant been successful? True, he has
taken more guns than we hhve, and perhaps q
few more prisoners, but wherein has he achieved
anything like complete success? Finding all
his attempts to drive us from our position futile,
ho has evaded them by flank movements, and
has to-day fewer prospects of taking Richmond
than ever" Among the rebel prisoners sent to
Washington to day is quondam correspondent
of the Richmond Examiner. Many of the prison
ers captured of late are better clad than usual,
and wear substantial suit of light blue cloth,
resembling that worn by our men, which they
state is manufactured in England, and brought
into the "Confederaoy" by blOcknle-runuers..

WONDERFUL MUSICAL GENIUS OF LITTLE
GiRL.-One of the transport steamers for New
York carried out from New Orleans very lately
a poor German family, who posses treasure in
their little daughter, named Minnie Howe. Ac.
cdenty lady of this city heard the little girl
one day, and was so attracted by the sweet tones
Of her voice that she was absolutely charmed -
An interview with the child's mother resulted in
the determination to procure for her the rudt-
ments of a musical education. This was done,
aad subsequently benefit concert at the Opera
House in this city yielded few hundred dol
lars for Minnies family to proceed to New York,
there 10 obtain more assistance by the means of
public concerts, after which she will travel in
Europe to finish her musical studies. AT the
New Orleans Opera House Minnie sang the
9 Casta Diva" with such effect as to meet the
most earnest applause. Bouquets in great pro
fusion were thrown upon the stage, and one Of
the admirers released beautiful dove, which
flew and luttered, and finally nestled down
among the flowers. This incident produced a
pleasant sensation. Minnie Howe was only
thirteen years old last November, and she gives
promise of becoming more distinguished yo
alist than Jenny Lind ever was. The modes
child merits the encouragement which the liber
al public of New York will honor themselves il
extending to her, and which they will not re-
gret; for they will confess that she possesse
rare musical genius.-N. 0. Cor N. L. Herald
