AN AFFECTING INCiDENT.

Onr worthy State Military Agent, at Nash
vile, L. b. Willard ESQ.,, in a recent letter to
his wife IN This city, relates the following incl
dent. He says - s, ..,...'--
Last evening, as | was passing by the Post
Hospital, my attention was arrested by the sing
ing, in a rather loud tone, of Rally Round the
Flag, Boys by one of the patients inside
While listening to the beautiful music OF that
popular sOug, observed 10 nurse standing in
the doorway, that the person singing must be in
very merry mood and could not be very sick.
You are mistaken, sir, said he, the poor fellow
engaged in singing that good old song Is now
graphing with death-has been dying all day.
am his nurse, and the scene 50 affected me that
was Obliged to leave the ROOM He is jnst
about breathing his last / stepped into the
ward, and true enough, the brave man was near
his end His eyes were already fixed in death.
He was struggling with all his remaining
strength against the grim monster, while at the
same time there gushed forth from his patriotic
soul iRcOherently the words, Rally Rround the
Flag, Boys which had so often cheered him
through his weary march, aud braced him up
when entering the field Of blood, in defense Of
his country. Finally be sank away in his death
slumber and joined his Makers command that
is marching TO that far off, better land. The
last audible sound that escaped his lips was raj
ly boys, rally once again. As his eyes were
closing some dozen of his comrades ioined in a
solemn yet beautiful hymn appropriate to the
occasion. Take it altogether it was one Of the
most affecting scenes have ever witnessed in a
hospital. 10 drew tears copiousfy from near
one hundred of Us. IL occurred in the large
ward which occupies the entire body of the
church ON Cherry street. The deceased was an
Illinoisan, and had been wounded in one of the

BeautIes Of RepubI,cnp,s,u.

There is now at Fort Me- Clay, in our har-
Dor, soldier who performs ali the duties Of
private in the ranks, and guard, and is
not even clothed with the power of fourth
corporal, who, in the event of death Of
President Lincoln, would at once become
the commander in-chief of the army and
navy of the United States. And vet with
this consciousness he is willing to place
himselfin the position of a common soldier,
share with them in their messes, bear about
his own mess dipper, and reside in their
barracks. This is the position of the Hon.
Hannibal Hamlin, vice-president ofthe Uni
ted States, and private of company A, of the
state guard of Bangor. Such we hold one
of the beauties of republicanism-but it
requires such sound men as Hamlin thus to
display the most beautiful features of the
simplicity of our institutions.-Portsmout

sswHERE Is THE BABYt,

"People are accustomed to associate every.
thing that is dreadful with the idea of death, anC
generally feel willing to suffer anything rather
than that dreadful loss which is SO entirely ire.
trievatable At the same time they constantly
wish for changes and circumstances which are
TO take place some time in the future, and in
volve hundred deaths almost as terrible as the
actual loss of life.
"We had a little baby at our house once, sweet
as all babies are, with pink toes, and wide, open
eyes, and smile worth at least dollar to see
But, though every one loved, no one was salts
fed with the baby. One wanted it in short
clothes, another wished it could talk, and even
mama could hardly restrain her impatiepce to
see it older and bigger, and different from wha;
it was. Well, one morning we looked for the ba-
by-lO! it was not there. We felt an intense
longing to see it try to play with its toes, and
look up with its loving little smile once more
But the baby was gone, and in its place was a
great noisy, head strong boy, who would burst
into the room like a small tornado, despised
bread nd-milk, as girls feed and insisted on
sliding down stairs on the banisters. The baby
with his beauty and his gemtleness is TO all in
intents and purposes dead, and the mother some
times feels like weeping not because that which
she hoped had come to pass but because TO gam
her boy, she has had to lose her baby, who was
never so pretty, and charming and cunning. and
altogether delightful, as now that he is gone.
"Other babies may come, but they will not be
that baby; and ask any mother if two babies in
any family were ever alike, and if they did not
each of them possess original and bewitching
little ways of their own, which no other baby,
in or out of the family, could ever initiate.
''DO not be in haste, o motheri to see the lit
tie nursling which you can fold SO securely in
your arms, changed TO the proud, wilful boy or
girl, who may slight your 6Ounsels, and refuse
their confidence, to give il to others unworthy,
and who have never borne with or suffered for
them. You expect much happiness now when
your children shall have grown up to be society
and copaniOns for you; but in years to come,
when the soft cheek which nestles to your bos-
ON shall have acquired the richer tints of man
and womanhood you may look back with pas
siOnate longing TO the time when the bright
curls lay nightly against your heart and the
Just budding intelligence and childish desires
were subject to no temptation which your hand
could not ward aside. Take care of the baby.''

OhIo,s CoIored Troops at Petersburg.

The Wilmington (Ohio) Republican has
been permitted to publish letter from Lieu
tenant d. L. Way, 9th United States Color
ed Troops, now before Petersburg, which
was addressed to his parentssin that place.
The 5th u S. Colored Troops is the regi-
ment which was last fall recruited at Camp
Delaware, in this State, as the 127th Ohio
Infantry. We make short extract from
Lieutenant Ways description ofthe famous
charge by the colored brigade at Peters
burg: 5lrt 8 t.l5
s'Up to this time the boys had been in
clined to dodge some of the whizzing mis-
siles; but now visible change came over
their actions and countenances They could
nav see the cause of death and destruction
that had been hurled into their ranks; their
enemies, the oppressors OF the race, were
in sight, and, with yell upon yell, they
dashed forward, and only desiring TO strike
each one blow for Sort Pillow and Free
DOM VolIey after volley was sent among
us; but weahad determined on ',going inY
and we did. ,.,5f.L.a 1It.t,
The rebels held their works until our
dusky boyswere climbing the outside, then
with howl of fear and hate, they, turned
and skedaddled on the d6uble-quick, leav-
ing one fine 12-pounder in our hands : the
other had been run off at the commence
ment of the charge. As Brigade Provost
Marshal 1t was my duty to look after the
prisoners. I couldn't jSnd prisoner z =
The dead rebels were numerous; but it
was impossible to know their loss, as their
killed and wounded, in the early partjof
the action, had been taken off the field.
Brooks took above 200 prisoners and 8
cannon; we took three prisoners and s can
non. The loss of our brigade alone was
about 600 in killed and wounded. The
5th regiment lost about 100. 8kga +

tire day, and Ohiomsy not now be asham

Major Seward, of the I'd Cavalry, who with
his command was in the famous raid made un-
der Wilson from Grants army in speaking in
letter of the return Of the troops within our
lines, says:
Those who witnessed the attack of the rebels
upon the unarmed blacks, who were huddled to-
gather in hollow so as not to impede the es-
cape of the white men, call il the most heart
sickening scene they ever beheld The black
cloud was composed of all ages "from one to a
hundred years." A large number were females
On these the rebels fired repeatedly and charged
sabre in hand. Papers say many were recap
tured l have seen no mention Of the slain.-
About four hundred did escape with WILSON,
They were not allowed TO travel In column, and
dared not fall in rear. So they took to the woods
and fields, keeping up with the head of the
column, which trOtted for the first two hours and
maintained fast gait all the way through
You can immagine the fear and dread these poor
people felt at being retaken, when mothers in
their rapid flight would throw their helpless
children into a fence corner or elsewhere, and
leave them to perish.
During our long and tedious march l knew
we were treading on dangerous ground; knew
that rebels were on each flank and in rear, ready
to fall upon us at the favorable time;-knew
that but few could return, possably none. This
would naturally make man sad when he thoght
Of friends at home but to see the poor slaves
hocking TO us for protection, like doves to their
windows, and knowing at the same time the i'm
possibility of one in hundred getting through
in safety, was not only cause of sadness, but Of
tears Il am not ashamed TO acknowledge that
amount of weakness. The result proved my
forebOdings, although more escaped than
thought would be able to do SO.

How a Copperhead Edllor was Shot.

A few weeks ago letter was published
in some of the copperhead sheets, purport-
ing to come from A. d. Davies, late editor
of a copperhead paper at Rushville in Him
ois, and describing in most affecting terms
his capture and sentence to suffer death as
a rebel spy in Missouri. 1t was perfectly
natural that the fellow should be guilty Of
playing the partof rebel spy, and he show
ed a good deal of shrewdness in assuming
the character Yet it seems that this pre-
tense of suffering for one crime was merely
set up to conceal another. The Schuyler
Citizen relates the story as follows:
ga. ID. Davies, ex-editor of the Rushville
Times, and the whilom adviser of the De-
mocracy of Schuyler, wrote an affecting
farewell to his family in this place few
weeks since, just on the eve $50 he stated)
of his execution as rebel spy, near War
rensburg, Mo. From letters Just received
from that place, the information comes that
it was not leaden bullet with which he
was shot. How he was shot, may be in
ferred from the fact that he has lately been
married to another woman in or near that
place. We presume there is room enough
in the penitentiary for one or more sub
iects." EFThats what's the matter"

A board of officers, to whom the sub
ject was referred, have reported, that ac-
eording to all precedents Captain Semmes
is a legitimate prisoner of war to this Gov
ernmenb there being no precedent in our
naval history or that of foreign govern
ments that would cover the peculiar cir
cumstances which surround his CASE
There is little or no doubt but that the sur
render of Semmes as prisoner of war will
be demanded by this Government.

REBEL LREENFORcEMEETS.-I 11SteCGIt
kee SentinefS correspondent with Sherman
is responsible for the following good one /
A tacit understanding among our pickets
and the Rebs, who are on opposite sides ot
the river, has existed for the last three OF
four days. Some of our boys swan oveI
day before yesterday and were amicably re-
ceived by the Rebs, who climbed the apple
trees and shook down the fruit for the
Yanks; and when one of them expressed a
wish to take some back for stew to exc out
his evening meal of hard tack, a friendly
Johnny Immediately tore off the leg of his
pants to make bag of-that the leg was
too badly worn to hold green apples did not
detract from the benevolence of the act
But the armistice terminated this morning
notice was given by Reb, yelling out:
"Hello Yanki"
sEWhat do you want, Johnnyg
''Can't talk with you 'uns any more!"
''How is thatw
's0rders to dry upm
'fWhat for, Johnny"
E'Ohi Jim Bownlow, with his Tennessee
Yanks, swan over, upon the left last night
and storned our rife-pits naked-captured
sixty of our boys and made 'em swim back
with him. We 'uns have got to keep you
'uns on your side of the river now"
Yesterday conversation took place be-
tween a couple of outlying pickets which
shows that the movements of our troops are
most closely watched In less than two
hours after the crossing of our troops a Reb
yelled out,
"We 'uns are going to give you 'uns HI
now Yank?"
"How are you going to do it, Johnny?"
eve 'uns have got reenforcementsw
''The ID you say! What troops are
they?"
s'That one-armed cuss, old Howard, with
the 4th and Schofeld with the Esd Corps
are on our side nowp
Conversation ended in a smile you could
have heard farther than a Parrot can shoot,
participated in by the skirmishers on both
sides of the river.
