- One Of the rebel citizens Of Freder-
icksburg has been arrested and brought to
Washington, charged with poisoning bread
and rendering ii to our wownded soldiers :
We don't know that the fellow is actually
guilty. For the sake of human nature we
hope he is not. But If he is, what shall we
say of the character of the act? Is it
enough to style 1t develish? Would the
demons Of the Internal regions be able to
exceed the malevolence of such u deed Of
unmixed malice? Could they manage any
mode which would 20 unite the seeming Of
benevolence and humanity with the chuck
ling 6endishness Of heart burning with
rage and overlooking with intensest hate
and barbarismf We don't see. how they
could accomplish it. This creature, if real
ly guilty, cannot be duly punished in this
world. A halter may be meted out to him.
But only an eternity in hell can prove .
sufficient penalty for such IN act. It is one
more illustration Of the perfection Of "Vir-
ginia Chivalry." How attractive it Is be-

49, The New York Herald IS opposed to
the exclusion Of foreign Injuries. It
thinks the export Of gold should 80 on
Its reason is, I'VE are gold producing
country" It is therefore, according TO its
profound logic, right and proper that we
should send abroad not merely what we
annually produce but all W. have besides !
By the same rule, because We are grain
producing people, we should send abroad
our whole crop, leave none At home, and
all starve to death in consequence IF it's
logic IS good in the one case It Is in the 9TH
er. If we only send abroad our surplus
either Of grain or gold, no harm is done.
The trouble at present is that We have 20
surplus Of either. Grain and gold are both
scarce and high At home, and still people
buy foreign products as II both were album
dant. They continue to import unnecee-
sary things when there Is nothing to pay
with but that gold which IS needed At
home. Gold sells At over 80 per cent. pre-
MUM. Yet the Herald says, sead it
abroad. Gould . Copperhead more clearly
evince his malice. Have the rascals not
been striking at the finances ~ hard as
they could all the time? Gould the Herald
more plainly prove it's desire for their ruin.

soles its readers with the idea that John

before Sherman, always achieves his VIC

A correspondent Of the New York Post
writing from New Orleans, relates the
following:
was in city car yesterday. Two
women came in. They wore the "rod
white and red" in their hats. They
were as imprudent as al The lovers Of
such colors are in this city. They sat
down. Along came a newsboy He had
the New York papers and shouted
Speech Of Mcclellan"
The oldest Of the two, woman with
the marks Of about sixty summers. asked
she young newsboy if he had the WOr1d7
ooh, yes, ma'Arn," cried the boy, land
It has MeClellans speech "Oh, ma

World was bought and eagerly perused
What picture to n man who had been
in the army Of the Union three years and
Eve monthsl In the bonnet three flow
ers were prominently hxed--frst, red !;
second, white; third, red and then the
World and "McClellan's speech, sought

But this is not all. The car went on.
In came two United States soldiers One
was forced TO sit near the young woman.
She Indignantly turned toward her moth
or, careful to pick Up her skirts so that
they should not touch the Yankee blue
jacket Tho other soldier was standing
close to his friend not being able to find
seat.
Soon man sitting close to the old

keo soldier made motion to sit down,
the Snman was too fast for him; as she
spread out her dress, and mOnopolized
all the seat left vacant by the departing
passenger, got little Of my Adam up,
and asked the driver how many could
ride on side Of the car. Eight re-
sponded the driver, MADAM" said /,

MADAM was reading McCleIlan's
speech, and pretended not TO hear what
was said. God having given me good
lungs, brought them more forcible into
action the second time, when, thinking
herself insulted, she pulled the bell and
went away. The last mutter Of her lips, as

The Heroic Decendant Of Putnam.

The Young hero referred to in the ex-
tract from recent speech BY DIR. Chase,
published recently, was Robert Win
throp Putnam, Of the old General Puff
nam stock, which has fourished on
the old HON estead in DaHFers, Mass,
for more than Two hundred years.
Though but sixteen years Of age, when
he heard Of the firing on Snmpter, he re-
solved TO Eight for the country, and moth
ing could shake this resolution. After
making several attempts to be mustered
in, and being rejected on account Of age,
he went to the camp at Einnfeld in Au-
gust, 1861, where he succeeded in pass
ing muster, no questions being ask him
ABOUT his age, and was enrolled with
company E, Of the 18th regiment, which
be selected because be liked the bearing
OF the gallant young Captain Rice, who
now commands what remainds Of the
fighting 10th.
His intelligence, courage, and manly
character soon made him the fayorite Of
his company and regiment. When NOR
tsly wounded be refused to quit the field,
but eheered on bis comrades. In his
last letter to his sister dated on the eve
Of battle, be wrote:
81 left home to help defend Consti-
tuition that was second TO none In the
world, flag which every nation on earth
respected, and if am to die, l shall bo
happy 10 die in the service Of my coun-
try'ti asfa
A gentleman who knew him well spoke
Of him, in an address delivered aboHt two
years ago, as follows
with tears Of admiration and envy
have read Of the deeds OF heroes and
patriots, but never saw and felt what
IL was TO be true hero until | saw a no
bic youth Of sixteen summers, full Of gen
tleHess and manly virtue, calmly and de-
liberatsly resolve to give himself to his
country, bid farewell 70 the pleasant
scenes Of bis rural home, father, mother,
sister, aud brother, buckle on his KNAPP
sack, shoulder bis Enfield rife, and
take his place among entire strangers IN
the ranks Of the 10Th regiment Of Mas
sachusetts volunteers As bis regsment
passed through Boston, on his way tothe
front claimed the privilege Of marching
by his side. On the Common filled his
canteen with water (he would take moth
ing elae), and when the word came to
fall in, babe him adieu, feeling that
had witnessed virtue equal to any /
had read Of, from Plutareh down to the
present time.
