ARMY ANECDoTEs.-A short time ago,
while regiment was movingby Sherman's
headquarters "a tent, fly, and o fence cor
ner, near Kenesaw Mountains-one of the
soldiers observed Major General lying
asleep near the roadside. He spoke very
loudly to his comrades, saying: " There's
the way we are commanded-office by
Major Generals who get drunk and lie in
the fence corners" Sherman heard him
and sprang to his feet. mot drunk, boys"
he said quietly, ''but I've been up all night,
and I'm very tired and sleepy" He got on
his horse, and, followed by his staff, rode
away.
l am forcibly reminded by this incident
of seeing Gen. Thomas lying in fence cor
ner, near John Koss' house, at Rossville, on
the night our forces retired from Chicka-
mauga to Rossville, his features handsome
in their repose, but looking old from the
WEAKNESS of two days sleepless fighting,
aglow with the light of great fire that had
been built near by. "General, lie down on
my blanket" Major F. ii. Gross had said
to him; "you must be weary" II an tired
said the old man. lying down and falling
asleep in a few moments. For two days
and three nights he had not slept; but dur
ing that sleepless labor he had save great
army, and won undying renown as the hero
of Chickamauga, and he had doubly earned
his right to sleep.

DEATH BY SHooTlNG.-On last Wednesday
night between nine and ten o'clock, Rufus
A.. Clark, who resides in the north part of
Braceville, shot Henry Miller, of Lavitts-
burg, in front of Clark's own house, killing
Miller instantly. The facts as we learn
them, are as follows: On Sunday Of last
week Clarll's daughter was married; on
Wednesday evening following, about thirty
persons, among whom was Miller, proceed
ed to the house of Clark to ''bell" the newly
married couple. Clark's brother came out
and requested them to leave, which, how
ever, they did not comply with, but contin-
ued their noise, when Clark came out with
a shot gun and discharged the contents in
Miller's face, causing death instantly. We
further learn that an inquest is about to be
held by the Coroner on the body of Miller
Clark has not been arrested.

THE st. Scholastique, G. W., jail was
burned, few days since, by prisoner
waiting trial for three distinct charges of
rape. Three prisoners were saved with the
utmost difficulty, but three females-a moth
er and her two daughters-in story above,
were burned. These were not confined in
cells, and they had full access to the win
dows, at one of which was one of the un-
fortunate victims, piteously imploring-
" Mon Dieu, sauce nous! sa,tvez nous!" To
relieve her was beyond the power of man.
At the topmost step of fragile ladder stood
the Rev. Mr.. Barnabe, who gave the dying
creature the last consolation of his church.
Before he had concluded, the black smoke
had become red, and in it the poor girl fell
back to be neither heard nor seen again
These three women had been confined for
destroying a newborn infant
