A Man who has not Slept for
. over Fourteen Years. Llma

AT present there is q soldier at the
Chestnut Hill Military Hospital who has
not slept for single moment for fourteen
years and six months, This may seem
incredulous, bnt nevertheless it is true.
and can be verified by numbers Of per-
sons. The individual is an intelligent
man, naturally, and has the benefit of d
moderate education, His name is c. D.
Saunders, orderly sergeant Of Company
G, 18Th Virginia Volunteers. He enter.
ed the service Of the United States on
December %, 1868 He in the forty.
fifth year of his age. His health has
been generally excellent during his life.
In l849 he was attacked with cholera;
and since that period with lung fever on
TWO occasions. In the summer Of 1850,
sleep forsook lin, and since that time he
has never felt the least drowsy. He has
always led a temperate life. His wife
and children reside in Putnam county.
West Virginia. Since he entered the
army he has been on seven raids and in
four charges, during which time he in.
forms us that he never felt tired or slee.
py. He was in the four charges made
beyond Harper's Ferry in August last.
and yet did not feel the least sleepy
Why it is that he cant and don't sleep
Is as much mystery to him as 1t is to
many scientific gentlemen. who, having
had their attention called to him. have
been astounded in their attempts to in.
vestigate the cause. ..r
Upon one occasion, at his request a
number Of curiously.inclined gentlemen
watched him for forty-two days and
nights consecutively, in order, ifpossinle.
to arrive at the cause Of the wonderful
phenomenon. These gentlemen took turns
with each other-in the progress of watch-
ing, SO that If he should chance to sleep
it would be observed. Some of the
watchers became drowsy, and it was as
much as he could do to awaken them.
This singular man was sentto Phila.
delphia by order Of the field surgeon.
He was admitted into the hospital at
Chestnut Hall, on the l7th of November
last, suffering from chronic diarrhoea and
lie has near y recovered
from his physical disability; his appetite
is good, but yet he does not sleep. He
retires to bed, the same as other soldiers.
out cannot sleep, He simply receives
physical rest. This brief narrative ofs
most wonderful phenomenon may seem
abulous, but the reader is assured that
t is the truth.

A letter was published in the London
Times SCOUT the first of the present month.
from its Richmond correspondent, dated
March 4th. The writer foresaw the fall
of Richmond, and considering SHERMAN
the foremost of Union Generals, devotes
large space to considering his character
and past history. He rcludes with the
following curious predic n:
If in'the Armageddon W. III seems now ap.
preaching, Gen. Sherman gets the South
down, it may be predicted L At his politics will
be more in harmony with those of Gen. Lee
than those of President Lincoln. Mr.. Lincoln
has found him hitherto very valuable friend
1t is possible that before III" end comes he
will find him o still more d.. .,rrous enemy.
During the war ! have seen TO man who
seemed to me to possess so much of the tenn
per of Cromwell as Sherman. Vain, eager,
enthusiastic, fanatical, at times gloomy and
reticent, at others impulsive and laxative, by
some regarded as half-mad when the fit Is on
him, General Sherman possesses character
which, unless am mistaken, is of the stuff of
which great and mysterious actors in history
are often made.

In an editorial on the " vindication of
justice" the New York Times says: Let
the old terms of amnesty offered by Pres
ident LINCOLN remain. So far as reason
allows and expediency prescribes, let them
be enlarged, so as to grant life, liberty,
and even property, without political rights,
to higher grade of ofenders-always re-
serving for justice every man found re-
sponsible for torturing prisoners, or MUIR
dering unarmed Union men. Then let
the law against treason take its course.
Let every unamnestied traitor be fairly
tried and lSwfully sentenced. Afterward.
if any real ground for mercy exists, let
him be spared. But whenever guilt is
found unmitigated, let punishment, too, be
without mitigation.

Shooting and Prayer.

Gen. Edwards, of Springfield, Mass, in
a private letter to friend in Springfield
relates the following touching incident:
In the engagement at Sailors Creek, in the
very thickest of the fight, C. F. Drake, of Co.
B, 57th Massachusetts,, ordered rebel colonel
to surrender.
Drake then shot him, inflicting O mortal
wound. The rebel colonel fell, exclaiming
that he was killed Drake said to him, II am
a Christian and will pray for you" The colonel
thanked him, and Drake kneeled by his side
and prayed with him, while the conflict ragged
around them.
The colonel pressed his hand and called him
brother, told him that he, too, was Christian
and thanked him. Then Drake resumed his
gun and went on fighting.

Detro,. commercial convention.

The Board of Trade of the City of De-
troit having invited an International Con-
vention of similar bodies, to be held at De-
troit on the I'd Tuesday of July, the St.
Paul Board of Trade, at recent meeting,
resolved to be represented on that occa-
sion, and appointed q delegation, consisting
Of the following gentlemen: D. W. NIGER
SOIL, J. W. TAYLOR, S. K. PUTNAM, A. B.
HARDWOOD, JOHN NIooIs, T. B. CAMPBELL,
W. J. SMITH, W. r. CARVER, DAVID DAY,
HENRY RoaRRs and D. D. MERRILL.
At the meeting above referred to, Mr..
TAYLOR, in the course of a general ad-
dress upon the commercial interests of
Minnesota, said that the proposed Detroit
Convention might be expected among
other objects, to recommend measures for
permanently securing the freedom Of the
st. Lawrence river and the Canadian ca
nails to. the grain growing States of the
Northwest. A renewal of the Reciprocity
Treaty, extended territorial 'ly to the Pacific
Ocean, and made more comprehensive in
its provisions, would accomplish that OBJ
ject. Congress had terminated the pres.
ent treaty, while irritated by the St. Al
bans and other outrages on the Northern
frontier but the Canadian Government
had SO fully INDICATED our provincial
neighbers in regard to these outrages, that
Mr.. Secretary SRwARD has recalled his
passport order: the convention limiting
the number of guns afoat on the lakes has
been restored: and negotiations for new
and permanent treaty, regulating trade
and intercourse on the Northern frontier
will soon be undertaken. The July Con-
vention at Detroit might aid, certainly
would not embarras such an International
adjustment.
The plan of Federal Union, now under
discussion in the British provinces, was
certain to be accomplished. Our Federal
Constitution of 1887 encountered greater
hostility from the jealousies of the colo
MES, but the instincts of nationality at last
prevailed. So.will it be with the English
provinces. Tie influence of the home gov
eminent will greatly advance the Union
movement; and, on many accounts, the
United States is interested in its success.
With the organization of single govern
ment from Newfoundland to Vancouver
AS q prosperous, progressive, British
American community-an imperfect reci-
procity may ripen into Zoll-Verein, or a
complete Customs Union, with declara-
ton Of permanent neutrality on our north
ern frontier, whatever may be the rela-
tons between the United States and Eng
land. Whether the discussions of the In
ternational Convention, to be held at De-
troit in July, shall anticipate this result,
was uncertain; but such was unquestion-
ably the direction of events.
Mr.. TAYLoR's remarks were extended to
other topics, but the foregoing observa-
tons, referring to the Detroit Convention,
are only reported in this connection.

The same terms, it appears, have been

news this morning of the surrender of
nearly thousand rebel troops in Tennes-

everywhere must now see that it is useless
and hopeless longer to continue the strug-
gle.
The people of the North, as well as the
people of the South, are DESTROYS for peace.
There is an almost universal conviction
that condition of war is now unnecessary
as well as costly and exhaustive. In bus
mess there is nervous inquietude. Doubt
and uncertainty brood upon every enter
prise. The people Of the South, as well
as those of the North, agree that the
scheme for Southern Oonfederacy is
q failure. They want peace and are
now waiting to live under the
Union. Surely, there must be some
way to bring the sections togeth-
er again without further slaughter
Let there be some understood basis Of
peace, for at present there is none beyond
a vague idea, variously interpreted. We
are confident that pacifcasion could be
speedily arranged if the trial were made
in an earnest and devoted spirit.

he was stationed there to protect the life of the
President All this will be different hereafter.
Hereafter the body guard of the President will
be composed of men of intelligence and cour-
age. and will consist of both cavalry and infan-
ty,-cavalry to attend the President when he
rides; infantry to attend the President when
at home, in the theatre, &c. The arms of the
the body guard will be short sword, some
thing like sabre-boyonet, and two revolvers.
These details and some others have already
been agreed upon.
