A Cool Yankee.

An incident which may be character.
ICED as very important occurred yester-
day morning in front Of Gen. Turner'S
lines. A sergeant stepped out from our
riAe"pits, and moved toward the enemy,
waving late paper, regardless of the
probability that he would at any mo.
ment be shot. A rebel officer shouted
to him to go back, but the sergeant was
unmindful of the warning, and asked +,
"Won't you exchange papersP" ono"
said the rebel, IL have no paper, and l
want you to go back" With singular
persistence the sergeant continued to
advance; saying, "Well, if you hain't no
paper, maybe some your men have, and
l want to exchange" "My men have
nothing of the kind, and you must go
back" repeated the officer in louder
tone and with great emphasis. The
sergeant, nothing daunted, still advanc d.
ed until he stood plumply before the
indignant officer and said: II tell you
now you needn't get your dandsr up.
[ don't mean no harm, no way. P'raps
if ye haiu't got no newspaper, ye might
give me suthin' else. Maybe your men
would like some coffee for some tobac
co. I'm dreadful anxious for trade oi

could only repeat his command: "GC

oner. 1 tell you we have nothing Il
exchange, and we don't want anything
to do with you yankees" The ser
geunt replied, "Well, then, you hahn
got nuthing. why here's the paper am
way, and if you get one from Richmond
this afternoon, you can send it over
You'll find my name on that" Th,
mans impudence or the officers eager
ness for news made him accept. III
took the paper, and asked the sergean

and re-entering his rias-pits; "mean

Judge James Clark.

GuYAKDoTTE, WEST VA, June 81
Some mouths since l noticed On article
in your columns 10 reference to the vol.
untary exile of Judge james Clark, Of
Butler county, Ohio, to Richmond, Va.
Your readers will, no doubt, be very
much surprised to learn that this self
same butternut Judge has, like the
prodigal son, returned to the land OF
his birth. Only a few weeks ago he
wrote from New York TO his father, VIII o
resides in Adams county, Ohio, asking
permission to come back to the paren-
tai home. While Arthur Clark, his
father, had this request of his wayWard
son under advisement, he received a
letter from an officer of the 9lst Ohio
informing him that his second son Gan
only other child,) had fallen in battle
at Cloyd Mountain, Va, and that
his remains would shortly follow. The
father, thus stricken with a double
grief, Informed his remaining, son that
he would be welcomed back to the
stricken household. Ia few days the
Judge returned, bringing with him a
part of his family.
Mr.. Clark doubtless found it not &c
pleasant feeding upon the "husks" g
the Southern Confederacy, when a
home there is enough aud to spare.

A Little Plain Truth.

In letter Of rebel officer, aid to
General Pagan, in Dick Taylor's army,
we find the following acknowledgment
of the deliberate murder of colored
troops, and also the murder of white
troops, while they were raising the white
flag. All this by our benevolent
"Southern brethren"
"After Steele left Camden, he sent out
large forage train, guarded by heavy
force. We fell upon this train, captur-
ed his artillery, all the wagons, and kill
ed the last negro soldier with the train
The Yankees had full negro regiment,
and the Choctaw Indians fell upon them
and killed every one. After driving
Steele into Camden, General Pagan
started with $500 cavalry for Little
Rock, but fell in with the enemy at
Marks Mill, where we had terrible
fight. Our arms were finally victorious,
and we succeeded in capturing about
500 prisoners, $50 wagons, and fvo
pieces of artillery. 1t was a complete
rout, and though the enemy endeavored
to raise the white flag but few of them
escaped"
This was the disaster to the 77tb Q,
vi, April 25th.

The PRIVATE SoLDIER.--If there is
a being 10 the world who is deserving
of private affection and public graft
tudc, it is the soldier who marches in
the private ranks of the army, to fight
for his country, and offers his blood and
life as a sacrifice for the maintenance OF
the Union and the Constitution. And
yet how seldom it is that they get the
honor and reward their services entitle
them to! 1t is the private who carries

the cotton is only GlO per bale, and sells

THE RETURN OF THE BIRDS.

NJ WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
I hear from many little throat,
A warble interrupted long;
Ihear the robins hute-liks note,
The blue birds slenderer song.
Brown meadows and the russet hill,
Not yet the haunt Of grazing herds,
And thickets by tho glImmerlng rill,
Are all alive with birds.
Obi Choir Of Spring, why come so sooni
On leahess grove and herdless lawn
Warm lie the yellow beams Of noon;
Yet Winter is not gone.
For frost shall sheet the pools again;
Again the clustering East shall blow,
whiri white tenn pest through the glen,
And Toad the pines with snow.
Yet, haply, from the region where,
Walked by an earlier spring than here,
The blossomed wild plum scents the air,
Ye come in haste and fear.
For there 10 heard the bugle- e-blaSt,
The booming gun, the jarrlng drum,
And on their chargers, spurring fast,
Armed warriors 60 and come.
The mighty hosts have pitched the camp
In valleys that were yours till then,
And Earth has shuddered to the tramp
OF halfa million men.
In groves where once ye used to sing,
In orchards where 20 had your birth,
A thousand'glittering axes swingI
To smite the trees to earth.
70 love the fields by plowman trod;
But there, when sprouts the bescben spray,
The soldier only breaks the sod.
To hide the slain away.
. Stay, then, beneath our ruder sky;
Heed not the storm clouds rising black,
Nor yelling winds that With thCm fly;
Nor let them fright you back
Back to the stifling battle-cloud,
To burning towns that blot the day,
And trains Of mounting dust that shroud
The armies on their way.
Stay, for a tint ofgreen shall creep
Soon o'er the orchards grassy floor,
And from its bed the crocus peep
Beside the housewives door.

To scare you from the shcltering tree,
Than winds that stir the branches round,
And murmer Of the bee.
And we will pray, that, ere again
The flowers of autumn bloom and die,
Our Generals and their strong armed mon
May lay their weapons by.
Then may ye warbe, unafraid,
Where hands, that wear the fetter now,
- Free as your wings shall ply the spade,
And guide the peaceful pillow.
Then, as our conquering hosts return,
What shouts Of Jubilee shall break
From pIieid vale and mountain stern
And shore Of mighty lakei
And midland plain and ocean strand
shall thunder "Glory to the brave,
Peace to the torn and bleeding land,
And freedom to the slaver ~

How Gen. Sherman Treats Rebe
SympathiZers.


Sympathizers.
The rebel guerrillas in Tennessee and
Georgia have recently done considera.
BILE damage to our trains by placing tor,
pedoes on the rails, which explode on
being run over. In one instance the
engine and i've or six cars were blow n
up and entirely destroyed, but fortu.
mattel y the cars in the rear of the trai n,
which were filed with soldiers, escaped
without injury, thus defeating the OBJ
ject of the guerrillas, who of course
knew there were troops on the train. A
correspondent ofthe Cincinnati Gazette
relates how Gen. Sherman has eff9ctu-
ally "Aanked" this new device of the
enemy. He says:
"Gen. Sherman was dete rmined t.
put an end to this cowardly mode oi
assisting the rebels, and accor dingly
arrested number of prominent seces
sion sympathizers along the route whom
he placed in an old box car, and daily
runs them over those portions of tn
road where torpedOes have been placed
Those old traitor rapscalions do no
enjoy the boon of free railway tran sit
but the medicine administered has cure
