HOW TIE SOLDIERS SLEEP.

You would, / think, wonder to see
men lie right down in the dusty road,
under the full noon sun Of Tennessee
and Alabama, and fall asleep in a
minute. / have passed hundreds of
such sleepers. A dry spot is a good
mattress; the flaps of blanket quito
downy pillow. You would wonder,
/ think, to see whole army corps, as
/ have, without the shred of tent to
bless themselves with, lying anywhere
and everywhere in an all-night rain
and not growl nor grumble. ]
was curious to see whether the pluck
and good nature was washed out of
them, and so i made my way out of

them. Nothingl Each soaked blanket

Aoundered, forth they came, wringing
themselves out as they went, with the
look of troop Of "wet down" roost-

Prentice on tho Blair Mission.

Mr.. George d. Prentice, who has
lately returned from Richmond, at
taches some Importance to the Blair
mission. He says:
Hon. Francis p. Blair, having just
visited Richmond, ia returning from
Washington to the rebel capital. We
begin to attach some importance to
Mr.. Blair's mission. His late con-
sultation with the rebel authorities
must have thrown some light on the
prospect Of peace, else he would not
so quickly repeat his visit. We heart
lily rejoice at the indication that the
arts of statesmanship are to play a
more prominent part in the solution
of our domestic troubles. We have
had terrific war, and the whole land
is sick of blood. The struggle should
be further wagod only as a painful
necessity.
