THE MIND 1t would appear as il Q whole
series of acts, that wonld really occupy long
lapse of time, pass ideally through the mind in
one instant. We have IN dreams no true percep-
ton of the lapse Of time. The relations Of space
rs well as of time are also annihilatec, 50 that
while almost an eteraity is compressed into q
moment, infinite space Is traverscd more swiftly
than by real thoughts. There are numerous
illustrations of this on record. A gentleman
dreams that he has enlisted for soldier, joined
his regiment, deserted, was apprehended, carried
back, tried, condemned to be shot, and at last
led out for execution. After ali the usual pre-
partitions a gun was fred, he awoke with the
report, and found that noise in the adjoining
room had at the same moment produced the
dream and awakened him. a friend Of Doctor
Abercromhie dreamed that he had crossed the
Atlantic, and spent fortnight in England. In
cmbarking on his return, he fell into the sea,
and awakening in the fright, found that he had
not been asleep ten minutes.

On Tuesday last, the widow of Mai.

city. Col. Jackson, of the 6,h U. :.

her hand she bore flag, red and clotted
with human blood. She took position
in front Of the fourteen heroes, so lately
under her deceased husbands command.
The ranks before her observed a silence
that was full of solemnity. Many a
hardy face showed by twitching lips aud
humid eyes4how the sight Of the hcreayed
lady touched bosoms that could meet
steel, aud drew on a fountoin of tears
that had remained dry even amid the
piteous sights witnessed on. the battle
field after fierce action. Turning to
the men before her. she said.
Boys have just come from a visit to
the hospital at Mound City. There /

Mai. Gen. John Sedgwiok.

Thcs everest loss TO our Potomac Army
since the movement commenced ON
Tuesday of last week, Is the death of
Major Gen. John Scdgwick, commander
of the 9th army corps. lie fell on Mon.
day, while gloriously lighting ot the head
OF his command. Gen. = dywick was
born in Connecticut, we think in 1915.
He graduated at West pDint in 1897,
and was appointed I'd Lieutenant of the
I'd artillery. In 1899 he was promoted
to a LIST Licutcnantcy and brcvctcd
Captain for gullantry at Contreras aud
Cherubusco. where he had command of
his company. lie was highly dis,in-
Cuished for his conduct in the battles of
Molino del Rcy and Chapultcpcc, aud
the attack on the San Cosmo gate, whcru
he was again in command of his CONS
pNny, hnd for his gallaulry In these ens
gngcmcnts was brovcted Muir. lie was
commissioned Captain in 1919, aud in
March, 1880, promoted TO be Major in the
lst cavalry. On the 25th of April, 1861,
he was appointed Colonel of tho 4th cav.
airy, and in August 3lst. Brigadicr Gen.
cral of volunteers. He was assigned TO
Go Stones command on the upper Po-
tomac, when that officer wus arrested in
February, 1862, aud during the Chicka.
hominy he had n division IL Gen. Sum.
ner's Orny corps. lie was commis-
stoned Major G N oral OF volunteers jay
4, 1882. At the battle of Antictam Gen
Scdgwick was seriously wuundcd aud
carried off the field. Ga his recovery in
ID c., 1862, he was assigned to the COM
mand Of the 9th army corps (Burnsidc's.)
A. the first battle of Frederick sburg, un-
der BurI side, he commanded thl 9th.
and bore a most conspicuous and gallant
part in that unfortunate con I; mi e

icksburg. When Gen. Grant took com-
mand OF the Potomac army, aud changes
were made in various corps, Gen. Sedg-
wick was assigned Ia the 9th, aud was
! in command of il when he fell.
Gen. Scdgwick was never married. A
plain, unassuming gentleman, little
above ordinary height, there was some
thing about the man that inspired conf
drnco and respect. A thorough soldier,
proved in hundred battles, he was be-
loved as every true soldier is sure to be,
by his men who have seen his courage
aud iel. the impulse of his calm aud
clear or !ers under emergencies. In his
habits in camp he was as simple and un--

THE vIvASDIEGE AGAIN.

The yivandicre of the Sd Michigan,
Miss Annie Etheridgc, was Os usual con-
spicuous for her unwearied attention to
the wounded. She participated in the
charge, capturing, it is said, several pris-
oners, and during the fight remained on
the field exposed to the enemy's fire, at
tending to the wounded. Her many acts
of devotion to the wounded have secured
for her the respect aud esteem of the
regiment aud division to which she is at
tached.

A singular instance Of doggish hatred
to "grty hacks" Is found in the case Of
the slut Sally, belonging to tire 10th
Massachusetts, Volunteers. She has par.
ticipated in every battle in which her reg
iment has been engaged, aud seems To
take great interest in the success Of the
blue jackets, to whom she is invariably
kind aud uffectionale. But "grey back"
is her especial detestation, which she al.
ways exhibits by biting at them whenev-
or they are brought within the reach of
her chain. She accompanies the regi.
ment or picket, but is always sufficient
ly discreet TO keep within our lines,
where she vents her rage by growing
and swapping at the enemy's skirmishers.
At the battle of Fredericksburg her leg
was broken, and alter the wound was
dressed by some kind-hearted surgeon.
Sally returned to the field on three legs,
and dogedly refused to leave until the
concus ion of the battle. This time she
escaped unharmed, and is ready at any
moment to participate in the next en-
gogement.- Cor. Of he Tribune.

She handed him the residue due him, as h.

he refused it.

And to her surprise he still leaned against her

She listened with earnest attention until he re-

She smiled and colored little, but answered
readily,

AnFso he talked on and she could not help

The captain found his way TO her side once
more, toward the close of the evening, when her

his conversation, and she found he had made
the acquaintance of her mother in the interval,
and accepted an invitation from her to dine with
them on the following day.
