up among the people during the progress
of the campaign. WSiseosd IitGtoi their

to madden ssdisxsSpSrate the party already

with each othef, butaalso inaour treatment
of the South, that respect is not bern Of in

power, by pursuing magnanimous policy
towards its political opponents, to restore
again something Of that good feeling which
subsistedS among tie people four years ago,

Fears for the Safety of Richmen d.

From the Richmond Examiner, Jan. &c.
Newspaper columns are not precisely
the best mediator conveying information
OF generals plans or purposes. Flaming
capitals and notes of exclamation are bet
ter fitted for announcing the contemplated
movements of prima donnas than of gen.
eralissimos, of travelling circusses than of
disciplined columns. Yet, in this war of
anomalies, it is not impossible that deep
laid strategy may be discussed in this un-
usual manner; and, among a people so
much given to the emotions of busy and
sensational press as the Yankees, impor-
tant military secrets may be foreshadowed
through this active reflector of popular
sentiment. Already have there been in
stances in which the speculations of the
New York press have been the real shad-
ows of coming events and in considering
the few obvious modes of prosecuting the
war, an inkling of the one adopted may
really have been allowed to come to light
for the purpose of inspiring the hopes of
the people, and under the belief thai COM
binations of great magnitude cannot, at
least in their general outline, be preserved
in complete secresy.
There is, then, a possibility that the
scheme of grand combined advance up
on Richmond by three distinct lines, with
overwhelming forces, announced in the
Yankee press, may be the real programme
OF the spring campaign. 1t is in harmony
with the strategy which Grant, the alleged
devisor and contemplated leader of the OPP
Grafton has heretofore exhibited. The
successes which have elevated him so
prominently above all he Generals of the
enemy, and probably opened the path for
him to seize the glittering prize of the
Presidency, have been all won by the Wig
OrOus and unsparing application of superb
or numbers-an advantage and strategy
common to him with his colleagues, but
which lie has used to a greater extent, and
in which he has been favored by propitiou

From the New York Times.
There are many who still doubt the .os-

even after the rebellion is subdued. A

Sabine says it is veay moderate COM
putation to place the number of Tories in
the colonies who in arms aided the British
troops against the Wings, at twenty thous-
and. Thus very large share of the avail

rayed against them. Indeed, in 1779. the
loyalists in London, in public address.

upon Richmond there is everv indicat;ono
The Yankee heart pants with an inexnras
slble longing to plant its cherished grid
iron upon the lofty site of that canitol
which looks majestcally down upon the
scenes that the last three years rendered
famous in story. They will come as thew
have come before, and there is no reason
to think that they will not return as thew
have invariably done before. Every line
of advance upon this coveted city has
been tried, and it now only remains, in
sheer desperation of accomplishing tn
purpose by persevering and concerted
plan, that they should resort to the doc
trine of chances, and trust that, in sew
eral simultaneous assaults, luck may be-
friend them at one point.
The hopes built upon this plan must, of
course, look to immense superiority of
force. If numbers alone could have taken
Richmond, the Yankee generals, from
Mcdowell to Meade, wculd all have had
it in their power. Yet they all failed,
and as Rich nond is certainly harder
nut to crack at present than it was two
years since, we can afford to wait with
calmness the coming of the Adoubtable
Grant and his three converging columns.
Yankee ingenuity has constructed all the
machines necessary for opening the road
to Richmond. Labor has been expended
with untiring perseverance, yet the one
insurmountable obstacle of Lees army
bars the way. If Grant is required to
overcome this before he can pluck the
fruit of the Presidential tree, be may as
well begin to put his house in order, and
compose his mind for the dismel journey
to those drear abodes where rest the
shades of Buell., Mcclellan and Rosecrans.

Romantic Affair In Hancock Coun.
ay, Ohio.

From the Findlay tOhiol Jefersonian.
In the northern part of Hancock county
there resided good-looking, intelligent
young widow, whose husband died in 1860.
Now, this husband, who was very consid-
erably the senior of his wife, on bis death
bed had exacted promise from her that
she would never marry again, and, after
his death his relatives managed to gobble
up his entire estate, leaving her not only
a widow, but very poor. The aforesaid
promise to her husband she regretted in
less than year, for, 10, young officer in
the gallant 21st, from the neighboring
county of Wood, who had loved her be-
fore her marriage, renewed his suit. She
would have married him but for the fatal
promise, and but for remarkably tender
conscience, which rebuked her whenever
she thought of the matter.
So the matter stood until the battle of
Chickamsuga. The young officer was
badly wounded, and was brought home to
die. He made all his preparations, set.
ting his house in order completely, for the
last scene of all his eventful history. He
sent for the widow and told her he desired
but one thing, and that was to provide
for her. lie knew that she was poor, and
he had no property to leave heroine
thing only he could do. His widow would
receive pension of thirty dollars month
from the government would make her
his widow.
She thought of the matter for several
hours, and finally concluded to do it. True
she would violate the letter of her prom
Use, but not its spirit; and when she
thought of the good the pension would do
her, her scruples vanished, and they were
married.
Singular as it may seem, this marriage
had beneficial effect upon our wounded
hero He showed signs of improvement
Immediately; in fact, so rapid was his re-
covery, that the ex.widow began to think,
in the course of three or four days, that
the hope of his pension was growing faint
and well she might, for in week he was
walking about, and last week he started for
his regiment, leaving a wife behind him
who wept bitterly at the parting.
Some say the gallant officer was not
wounded at all-that the whole affair was
deception, and advised the deceived wo-
man to sue for divorce; but she thought
not. She had done justice to the memory
of her deceased husband; he only prcpos-
ed marriage to benefit her; in his recov-
cry she recognized the hand of Providence,
and was disposed to submit thereto.

FIFTH Iowa CAvALRY.-Major A. Bruce
Bracket. Lieut.. Colonel Robert H. Rose,
Lieut.. Mortimer Nicely, Lieut.. Crandall, and a
number of men of the Minnesota companies In
the Fifth Iowa Cavalry, have arrived by stage
from the South. The regiment has re-
enlisted and is now furlOughed for thirty days.
Major Bracket is of st. Paul and went out
as Captain of the third company from this
State.
Lieut.. Colonel Rose went out as Orderly Ser
geant of the same company, was promoted to
a Lieutenancy in 1862, and is now appointed
Lieutenant Colonel OF our Second Cavalry reg
iment
Lieut. Nicely went out as Second Lieutenant
and has been promoted one grade.
These three companies, known as the Light
Cavalry Companies. were, on arrival at Benton
Barracks, in Missouri attached to the regiment
then known as the Curtis Horse" but now
called the Fifth Iowa." They were fur
nished with saddles and horses, and sabres and
carbines about the LIST of February, 1862.
They were afterwards employed in scouting.
carving dispatches. and variety of opera
tons peculiar to the cavalry service, with
headquarters at Fort Holman, Kentucky.
One of the companies participated in the
army operations before Corinth and in two
severe skirmishes. This company performed
very valuable and arduous service all through
the summer in southern and central Tennes-
see, and returned to Fort Holman the last o,
August in 1862: Since which time the COM
panies, with the whole regiment, have per-
formed the most trying service in guarding ex.
posed railroad and other military points, ano
have had rides, raids and sllirmishes numerous
the most important of which are vet prooapi1
fresh i'm the memories of readers.
