False Pride.

One of the most extraordinary things
in life, is to see the things that people are
ashamed of, and the things that they are
not ashamed Of. To see that there are
men of sense and education, ashamed of
not being able to keep carriage
ashamed that in the division of worldly
things, enough has not fallen to their
share, to enable them to enjoy expensive
plcasures-to wear expensive clothing
&c. One may excuse them for being
sorry. but not for being ashamed.

full amid this worlds hollow and idle
pomp-amid its heartlcss and wearying

just enough to live upon, with industry

Wilson'S Great Raid.

Among the military movements in
progress beyond the James River the ono
upon which the public attention was most
recently centered was the cavalry expedi-
tlon under Generals Wilson and Kautz.
These commanders set out from below
Petersburg on the o2d of June. with two
divisions of cavalry and four batteries Of
hight artillery, for the purpose Of Destroy
ing the Lynchburg and Dansillc Rail.
roads. The whole force mustered -he.
tween five and six thousand inen. sOf
the extent and military value of their
operations the public has been kept rea-
sonably well advised by telegraph. They
destroyed a considerable distance of the
Lynchburg or Sou.hFide Road between
Richmond anu Burkcsvillc. This. with
the work OF Hunter around Lynchburg
which the Rebels admit will take scveraj
weeks to repair. has cut off the Rebels
from their great line of communication
with the Southwest fora long time to
come -ii lrc
After ef4ecting this part of their object
Generals Kautz and Wilson turned their
attention to the Danville Road, at and be-
low. Burkcsvillc Junction. According to
telegraphic adviccs, the raiding party de-
stroyed "every foot of this road for n
distance of thirty-fve miles This utterly
cuts Oh lsichmcnd and Petersburg from,
the South, through North Carolina. and
as this was their only remaining line of
railroad transportation, those two cities
are now. entirely isolated from the rest of
Rebeldom. 1t is scarcely necessary to
enlarge on the great value of this service.
and the influence it is certain to have to-
wards a favorable termination of the cam
pagn against Lee and Richmond. That
1t was matter Of vital moment TO tho
ltcbel cause is manifest from the fierce
and resolutc efforts made by Lee TO defeat
Wilson and kauts in their purpose.
Prior to the receipt of the news Gen.
cral Wilson was at Eeam's Station q,
the Weldon road, about, fifteen nilrs be.
low Petersburg on his way back to our
lines. He was then beset by large bodies
of Rebel cavalry aud infantry, who had
been despatched by Lee to intercept him.
and they had him badly hcmmed in.-
Thus surrounded he fought the whole of
them for several days, making the most
determined efforts to cut his way through
their lines, At one time it was though.
his whole command was hqpclcssly Gu.
OIL Subsequently Kautz came in with
most OF his command and some OF Gen.
eral Wilson's Division and, ON Saturday
General Wilson arrived, having rctreotcd
from Reams, Station and made a lopr
dctour to the South to secure his escape.
II is not easy to understand the extent
of the losses suffered by Wilson. COM
mand They were, doubtless, heavy,
but the value of the service he, has per-
formed is beyond all computation n.-Pha-

Death Of Josiah Quincy.

1t is announced that Josiah Quincy, of

will take no one by surprise. since he had
long passed the allotted period of human
life. and was verging to that time in
which he would see third century roll
ing under his feet 1t will be even less
surprising than other deaths, because he
has long withdrawn f.om active pursuits,
and but occasionally interfered with the
current occurrences of the time. Not
witlstanding these facts, Mr.. Quincy's
death will be both n surprise and regret.
He was born in Boston, February 1,

lied himself in the Revolution both as
author and actor counsel and client. -
HI served in Congress from 1905 to 1918.

Rain and Cannon.


It is noticed that violent rain storms
follow battles. This has been so during
the present rebellion. and so It has been
in oil lands and in all times. To the
soldiers it may be very fortunate occur
renee. To the wounded left on the bat
tie field nothing could be better. 1t af-
fords relief TO the intolerable thirst that
follows gunshot wounds. and water is the
best dressing that such wounds can re-
ceive. 1t may be benefit also to those
not wounded. since it washes the battle
field where putrefaction might otherwise
take place and plaques result; and it also
washes and purGes the air. burdened
with smoke and lust and the cxhalations
from the dead. ..
What is the cause Of the rain? Phi
losophcrs are not agreed. though many
of late have coincidcd with Prof. Espy
who said that the rain was produced by
the shock of the atmosphere from the ex-
plosion Of gunpowder, and he claims that
showers may be had any time from the
same causes. Possibly this may have
something to do with it, but quite as like
ly it is the process by which Nature rem
ovates herselfwhen contaminated, whether
by battles or by any other cause. The
ancicnts noticed the phenomena of rain
after battles, when no gunpowder was
used. Thus Plutarch, in his life of Ual: S
.Hcrus, noticed the same event after a
battle | 400 years before punpowder was
known in Europe, and writes.
Thus the opinion of Archiloshus is
confirmed, that fields are fattened with
blood. 1t is observed, that extraordna-
ry ra!us generally fall after great battles;
whether it be that some deity choose to
wash and purify the earth with water
from above, or whether the blood and
corruption by the moist and heavy vapor
they. emit, thicken the air, whici, is liza
bic to be altered by the smallest cause. ("
