SHERMAN's FLANK MOVEMENTS PTz-
zLE THE NATIVES. We are permitted
to publish an extract from a letter of .
soldier in Sherman's army:
Gen. Sherman's strategy in fanking
the rebels out of their strong positions,
puzzles the natives good deal. Ayoung
woman near here said it was not fair to
fight the Southern soldiers con cNd.'-
She then went on to say that the day be-
fore Gen. Bragg had formed "t,co streahs
Of .fyht' in their dooryard with ",caiE-
ing soldiers,' and Gen. Wheeler formed
some streah of .fght with critter soldters'
--meaning cavalry-behind the house,
but that Joe Hooker had come up and
ganhed Bragg and made him fall back,
which he did in such hurry that he
upset dads ash hopper plant" which
cost s. 30 in Atlanta; and dad was a
goin' to sue Bragg tor wastc.' This is
fair specimen of the way these poor
people think and talk They do not gen.
orally display balf the intelligence the
slaves do.

A SINGULAR INcIDENy.-The Boston

A SINGULAR INCIDENr.-The Boston
Gazette tells the following story:
Twenty years ago gentleman of this
city resolved to remove out West, aud
started for his destination. In New York
he stopped at second class hotel, and
while there he was robbed of a purse
containing some $4,000 in gold. Ia the
course of his peregrinations he was sue
cessful, and had forgotten all about his
loss, having accumulated handsome
property. When the war broke out he
was too old to enlist, but feeling patriot
ic, he offered his services to General Lo-
gan, and acted as Quartermaster to a
brigade. One night, on the march,
the army arrived at small town in
Southern Alabama, and according to or
ders he took possession of the inn for
general headquarters
While talking with the landlord he
discovered that he formerly kept hotel
in New York, and, upon pressing his
inquiries, found that he was the iden,ic
al landlord Of the house in which he had
been robbed. In the course Of the even.
ing he arranged a mock court martial
and brought the landlord before it, charg-
ing him among other things with the
robbery. Much to his surprise the land
lord confessed the robbery, and he had
his choice to restore the money or die at
sunrise. The man received his priuci.

could afford to pay, in gold, which the
gentleman invested in United States

this year returned about fifteen millions,

law, which went into operation on the first

not unfrequently receives one million ia

Of the new law, THRUST that million per

ception Still, much space is undoubt-
edIy left for improvement in the law, and
in its administration, - agreater amount
of necessary information is acquired
The proper sources Of revenue, and the
most effective modes Of obtaining it, are
best developed in the execution of exist
ing laws. And have cr Used measures
to be initiated which will, it is believed,
enable Congress so to improve and en-
large the system a., when taken in con-
nection with the revenue from customs,
and other sources, to afford an ample and
secure basis for the national credit. Only
on such basis, and 10 steady and Wig
orous restraint upon currency, can a rem-
edy be found for existing evils. Such
restraint can only be exercised when the
governments is furnished with means to
provide for its necessities. But without
the aid Of patriotic people, any govern
ment is powerlsss, for this or any other
desirable end.
The denominations of the notes pro.
posed to be issued, ranging from fifty to
FIVE thousand dollars, place these securi-
ties within the reach of all who arc dis
posed to aid their country. For their re.
dcmption the faith and honor aud prop.
crty of that country arc solemnly pledg.
ed. A successful issue to this contest,
now believed to be near at hand, will
largely enhance their value to the holder;
and peace once restored, all burdens can
be lightly borne. He who selfshly with.
holds his aid in the hope of turning his
available means to greater immediate prof
it, is speculating upon his country's mis-.
fortunes, and may End that what seems
to be present gain leads only to future
loss. Isppeal, therefore, with confidence
to loyal and patriotic people, and invoke
the efforts of all who love their country,
and desire for it glorious future, to aid
their government in sustaining its credit
and placing that credit upon a stable
four dation.

Mothers Reply to Just Before the Battle.

By c. II. PARNLEY.

By c. H. PARALEY.
Shield my boy in day Of battle!
Mother prays, with binding tears
Prays the Father keep her loved one
-- Till the war-cloud disappears.
Oh, she felt her heart was breaking! -..-
when she kissed his boyish brow,
To see him turn that dear face from her,
Never half as dear as now.
Farewell! mother may not fold thee
To her throbbing heart again;
But, oh! my boy, we'll ne er forget thee,
Should they write thee with the slain.
"God preserve thee" struggled upward,
But it fell not on his ear,
As it rose, a silent offering,
Heavenward, with the parting tear.
Me forget him, lone and weary,
Gone to face the cruel foef
= Oh, mol he's dearsr far than ever, @
Since he volunteered to go. ro
Farewell! mother, etc. ....
"Just before the battle opens,
Thou art thinking most of me;"
But an anxious mother never
Ceases to remember thee.
God protect thee in the struggle
For thy country and the right,
Fen though thy comrades brave around thee
Sleep the sleep of death tonight.
Farewell! mother, etc.
Say not so, hear thee saying,
Pray not for thy son alone,
Other boys as brave and noble,
On the battlefield are strewn.
Nay; know that some must perish
BY the cruel. handed foe;
But, oh! if mothers prayers can save thee,
God shall turn the traitors blow.
Farewell! mother, etc.
When the fearful battles over,
I am thinking most of you
Thinking, ifmy boy is lying
In the sunshine and the dew,
Lying, with his life blood flowing,
But no hand to wipe the stain
Oh, tell me- mothers! is this glory,
Dying thus on battle-pan?
Farewell! mother may not fold thee
To her throbbing heart again;
But, oh ! my boy, if prayer can save thee
None shall write thee with the slain.
