The Spirit Of . Union Soldier.

A correspondent writing from the Ar
my of the Cumberland gives the follow
ing incident:
While riding up Mission Hill, on the
memorable 25th, turning my horse to the
right and left to avoid the wounded, l
had dismounted from my horse to give
water to dying boy, who lay upon his
gun with a bullet hole through his head.
when, a few yards to the right, I observed
an officer being carried down the hill on
a stretcher. Riding up l inquired of
the men:
Who have you here?"
..Adjutant Marsh, Of the 2lst Michi-
gan"
where are YOU wounded, Adjutant?'
I'm the left arm" was the reply.
Badly" 1 inquired; when. with
smile lighting up his face, at the same
instant discovered the arm adhering to
the body by a very small piece of hesh,
he replied:
MY arm is gone; that's nothing; we've
beaten them, thank God, and the slur of
the Chickamauga defeat is obliterated.-
Let the arm perish; such a victory is
worth q Thousand arms"

The Loss Of Children.

Those who have never passed through
this fiery furnace, which tries the inmost
heart, can not sympathize with bereaved
parents whose hearts bleed over their
children dead To describe the anguish
which rends their hearts, as they gaze
upon the loved forms on whom their
fondest hope and highest aspirations had
rested SO firmly. now cold and lifeless in
their coffin home, would require pen
dipped in the very essence of the suhli-
NEST sorrow itself None but the parents
can feel it. and none but those who have
mourned like them can sympathize with
those who mourn the death of their chill
dren. The loss no power can make good
or even alleviate. No power on earth
can bring them back, and place them
again beneath their parents loving gaze
and fond care. From earth they have
taken their departure, never, never to re-
turn. The little chair they occupied, the
little plate and knife and fork they used,
will be of service no more-but merely
lonely mementoes of their existence.
The patter of little feet upon the floor,
and the music of their sweet, sweet voices
will greet the parents ear never again on
earth. All will be a recurrence of all
that is dreary and dismal. But hope.
plumed by religion, points to a happy
meeting in another and better world

to the inexorable logic of events on the

is not already an accomplished fact. He

The Snuff Trade Of New Jersey.

Before the internal revenue law went
into operation, the snuff trade of New
JERSEY amounted to over 100000 a
year. The number of hands employed
were over two thousand. who were amply
ruminated for their services. The heavy
spectators in that article in New York,
some eighteen months ago, saw that As
soon as the revenue law went into effect.
the tax would be large, and consequently
decrease the profits of the sales made
during the year. After discussing the
question, they came to the conclusion to
buy up all the snuff in the State. and en-
gage all that the various companies could
make before the law went into effect, and
agreed to pay ut the rate of fifteen cents
a pound, three cents over the old price.
The result was that the mills were driven
day and night. and it was conceded that
enough of the article was made to supply
the New 1ork market for one year. The
object of the spectators was to get rid
of paving the tax and the article was
rushed into the market at a rapid rate.
Before the article become salable it was
necessary to scent it, and before that
could be done the revenue law went into
operation. The fact that the snuff was
not in a condition fit for the market was
laid before the proper authorities in
Washington, and after investigating the
question gave decision that the snuff
should be taxed, which was performed
although not in conformity with the
feelings of the spectators in New York

ult. illustrates the sterling virtue of
Gov. Brough, as recently exhibited at Co
lumbus The Governor saw an officer
wearing the uniform of the United States
drunk in the street He Immediately
applied to the Secretary Of War to dis
miss him. When the officer recovered
from his spree, he found himself dis
graced. His friends had great influence
over the Governor, and plead for his res
toration. Governor Brough was pro-
foundly moved, and expressed his conf
dence in his friends, but denied their
petition. He had no alternative, he said,
but to discharge his duty to the people
faithfully and he would not tolerate
drunkenness in those to whom public in

entrusted.
