Gently DER that guileless brow. Baby has

The moon comes moving slow;
There sleeps in gentle beauty
The weary Earth below.

Through the blue starry night.
And on the dewy breezcs,
From many faithful breast,
A thousand lovc-thoughts hover

4 SAGAcrcus ANlMAHxs. The Rev.
A. D. Williams, of Dodge Co., has
Mexican and Indian pony Of uncommon
intelligence, raised in New Mexico. He
is usually kept in stall adjoining one
in which COW is fastened, separated by
a partition. Mr.. Williams observed
for several days that the box in which
he fed the pony was found upon the
other side Of the partition. Happen
ing to be present when the pony had
fin isbcd his me-l, he was surprised to-
sec him take the box with the surplus,
feed carefully in his teeth and lift it
over tie partition and set,it:; down .be>
fore the COW. This benevolent transac.'
tion invariably takes place when the
pony has more than he cares .to eat.
We leave our readers to draw their owns

ion, in the field. 10Th inst, says: The long
looked for advance Of our troops il at lasl
commenced. Yesterday morning at four
O'Clock our cavalry started out, and COM
menced driving the enemy's rear guard.
At five o o'clock the enemy broke camp, and
ut seven had taken position in line Of march
which was in three parallel columns.
We had not proceeded far when We be-
came convinced that the main force Of the
enemy had retired from our immediate
front and retreated to some position up the
Valley. fo,ia "
A reconnaissance was made in front of
Gen. Crooks lines On our position SAtur-
day which developed the fact that the main
force of the enemy had left our immediate
front, but what direction they had moved
in We have no reliable information at the
time Of writing this dispatch.
The whereabouts Of Early's main force
Is q mere speculation. A movement. how
ever, is on foot which will throw some
light on this subject.
Our cavalry had some heavy skirmish-
ing yesterday In the vicinity Of Charleston
With q portion Of the enemy's rear guard,
in which two officers of the LIST y. s. Cav
airy were killed. We captured some 30
prisoners.
Prisoners say the eDelny's main force
moved Oft three days ago and went in the
direction of Martinsbusy. Statements OF
prisoners haye to betaken with greatdeal
OF caution.

NEW YORK. Aug. 30.-The World says
that the most encouraging accounts are re-
ceived from every quarter as to the num-
Der of recruits being obtained. In Penn
|sylvania about $4,000 recruits have been
obtained. Quite ~ many have been OBJ
tanned in New York, while New England
has furnished 10000, and perhaps, when
the returns are all received, the number
will be found to be even greater than this.
The Western States are also doing very
well. -.
For some time past reinforcements II the
rate of 1900 per week have been going on
Ito the Army Of the Potomac, and for the
next two or three weeks It is expected that
! 900 per day will be forwarded. The, ave-
rage number now obtained daily through1
out the country is about 1896, and this
/ wiz he increasetit 70 1000 Of 4, 500 Per day
before the 5th otSeptember. AT least $50
600 men will have been secured to the army
and navy before the day named, not count
/ ing the credits on previous calls, or those
coming from the portion Of the naval en-
listments. Ass-saYr a .e.ets@.a#
Had the call been for 3OO, 900 it is thought
the men could easily have been obtained,
but the large call discouraged the people.
ilaOn account Of tho large additions to the
army. efforts will b made 70 have the draft
postponed, in the hope that snfacient
number Of men may b obtained without .
resort to that objectionable measure.
