A Brave Drummer Boy.

Orion p. Howe, of Waukegan, Ill, drummer
boy to the Fifty-Fifth Volunteers of that State,
has just been appointed to fill a vacancy in the
Naval School at Newport. The following
tract from letter written by Maj. Gen. Sher-
man to Secretary Stanton, detailing an incident
which occurred during the assault upon the reb
ell works at vicksburg, May 10, doubtless
cures the noble boys promotion:
"When the assault was at it's height on
the 10Th of May, and I was in front near the
road which formed my line of attack, this young
lad came up to me, wounded and bleeding, with
a good healthy boys cry, "Gen. Sherman, send
some cartridges to Col. Malmborg; the men
nearly all out" "Whati lis the NATTER my boyr'
.sThey shot me in the leg, sir, but can go to
the hospital. Send the cartridges right away"
Even where we stood the shot fell thick, and 1
told him to go to the rear at once, would attend
to the cartridges and off he limped. just before
he disappeared on the hill he turned and called
AS loud as he could -" Calibre 54." have not
seen the lad since, and his Colonel, Malmborg,
on inquiry, gives me his address as above, and
says he is a bright intelligent boy, with fair
preliminary education.
What arrested my attention then was and
what renewed my memory of the fact now is,
that one SO young carrying musket-ball wound
through his leg, should have found his way to
me on that fatal spot and delivered his message,
not forgetting the very important part even
of the calibre of his musket, 81, which you know
is an unusual one
I'll warrant that the boy has in him the ele-
ments of man, and commend him to the Gov
eminent as one worthy the fostering care of some
one of it's national institutions.'

The Mission of Gen. Sickles.

The National I1teLIigencer says: Major Cen
eral Sickles, accompanied by his personal staff,
has left Washington for Cincinnati, He is char
ged, it is stated, with especial orders from the
President under which he will make complete
tour of the territory reclaimed from the rebels,
with view of observing the temper and dispo-
sition of the people towards the United States
Government: investigating the practical work
ings of the policies adopted in dealing with them,
expounding to them the purpose of the Admin
istraton, and endeavoring to reconcile them to
the Government. The General will also make
such suggestions to the President from time to
time, for modification change of policy, as
may occur to him from his observations. At Gin
cinnati gunboat from Admiral Porters feet
will be placed at tie disposal of the General, by
which he will be conveyed to the principal points
in the southwest. He will return via the
coast, calling at all the points in Federal occupa-
ton, for which purpose an armed naval vessel
will be assigned him by Admiral Farragut.-
This mission, it is supposed, will have the effect
of correcting numerous evils under which the
people in the reclaimed territory labor, but
which have never been brought to the attention
of the Government The President it is also
stated, is exceedingly sanguine that the effect
will also be to restore the people to hearty aleg
ance by opening their eyes, which have been so
long blinded by Southern politicians, and con-
vincing them of the desire of the Government,
while sternly demanding their return to loyalty,
to deal with them in kindness and with all for
bearance.
