A Daring Adventure--Ira ID. futile
aud his Scouts,

On the 18th ult., Ira B. futile the young, dar-
ing, and efficient Chief of Scouts of the Army of
the Cumberland, at the head of four of his men
made circuit TO the rear of the rebel army con-
fronting General Sherman, aud made a dash
into Vlleran, small village southwest of At
lanta, and used as depot of supplies. Rebel
troops were camped in front and to the rear of
the post, the camps being about one mile distant.
A Lieutenant-Colonei, Captain and three is
suing Sergeants were found in the place in charge
of the stores. So cofdent were the rebels that
the post was secure, that no other guard was
stationed in the vicinity. The officers and SER
geants were taken completely by surprise by the
sudden descent of futile and his men. They
were unarmed and forced to surrender. The
buildings containing $4,000 bushels of corn and
large amount of bacon were fired by Tuttle.-
Five army wagons loaded with bacon and cloth
ing were also set on fire. The two commissioned
rebel officers we're then forced to mount their
horses, and the daring scouts made hasty exit
from the place. The burning buildings attracted
the attention of the camps, and great
existed among the rebel soldiers. They hurried

i'CAPTAIN SEMMRs AS the Confederates
never had navy, never able to build an efEec-
tive war vessel, and therefore never had any
real grounds for issuing q naval commission,
the pirate Semmes can scarcely be called cap
tain of the Confederate service. Nevertheless
he is entitled to his rank as captain of the British
Neutral Service, in which character he was very
disgracefully whipped off Cherbourg, in sight of
many spectators.

the turf and the planks from far away They
planted beautiful pole, and hoisted the elc.
giant, God-given, eternal flag Of our country to

Dress Parade" not gun has spot; the
bayonets glitter; the equipments are FURNISHED;
the boots are BACKED the coat clean, well ad-
justed, and buttoned to the neck the hands
clothed in white, and every badge of rank is in
its place Across the way, not half a mile, is
another camp. Scenes here are different no
trees, no grass-piats, flowers, or hag-poc;
clothes soiled and lily adjusted equipments lily
FURNISHED cursing and swearing the ton; CT
villains are recognized with vulgar jests, and
officers saluted in derision. A kind of order
prevails severe, cold, iron. Listen awhile;
private ventures to approach you and begin to
demonstrate against furnishing equipments;
:" can't get at them any better;'' against bright
any better - !" and Dress Parade's bore and
humbug." Mr. Civilian thinks it is about so;
and demonstrates with the Colonel the Colonel
replies, tits Regulations, and cannot be changed
But why, says he to the former Colonel, is this
regiment so uncouth, so impudent so unlike
yours? This Colonies orders are strict enough.
The Col. INTERCEPTED, pointed to the others
rusty sword, undusted coat, and dollar shoulder
straps. See, too, half the men have unblacked
boots, half have blouses on, and half the officers
have on no gloves or sashes These things lee
ture my men. Did you ever think, fellow sol
dier, that the polished gun, the neat attire, the
ornamental camp exerted powerful Influence
of refinement upon your spirit? So it does
The wcll-adjusted hospit.l, neat beds in perfect
order and exact line; the adorned walls, the
tables loaded with evergreens and flowers the
neatly-clad, full dress inspections, all tend to
refinement, and the soul absorbs the idea
Then fill the hospitals with paintings, shrubs
and flowers with clean beds, perfumes and
songs, and stay the roughs of war

We saw one of the officers from City Point,
on Monday. They are quite hopeful and conf
dent In the army, believing that the preparations
which are now making for important move
ments. are such as will eventuate in glorious and
successful results. Preparations are also being
made to punish the bold raid of the rebels into
Maryland and Pennsylvania.

ABSORPTION, (Continued.)

In our former article we sought to illustrate
the best method of governing children and
sweetening their dispositions, viz the method
of " absorption And since our illustration
showed the effects of surroundings Of refine
ment, taste and elegance, what mast be inferred
from the hangings of birch rods, leather straps,
and women's tongues on swivels? But il is
not enough that the first score of years has choice
surroundings. Popes words are too often
true:
" Vice is monster of so frightful mein,
AS to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her ace,
We first endure: then pity, then embrace"
1t is great calamity to be deprived of the
ehaste and refining influences of home. The
pleasant restraint of our parents, gray-haired,
with furrowed cheeks, and hearts of goodness,
from which have flowed all our blessings, en-
larging as they have given reprove, soften,
and suhdue our impetuous spirits. The songs
of our sweet sisters, ever kind, ever attentive,
whose souls gushing too slowly in song alone,
call to their aid their nimble fingers trained to
skill upon the key-boards, quiet, enrapturc and
ennoble our agitated hearts. The prattle of the
child, though it rolls with Puss and Rover, be-
gets o tender "hurt-me-not;' and its little ac-
cidents draw tear and prompt helping hand.
These things keep the heart pure, fresh, and
tender. To be deprived of these influences is o
great calamity. But add TO this, british rough
ness in society, and the robbing, crashing car
mage of war, and what must be the spirit that
lives long in the scene? What must be the
heart that loves the change? Truly, he's hero,
who, under these circumstances, keeps his own
soul.
Is 1t a wonder that our soldiers become some
what rough? become careless in dress, careless
in department, and careless or vulgar in lam
guage? This change is by absorption, and as
the whole army becomes thus changed, its
changed nature accelerates the change; and
where is the end Is it strange that our chaste,
pure and pious parents recoil at the thought of
their sons entering the army? Can anything be
done to counterfeit this evil2 Upon the sands,
