the General performed the greatest
military movement Of his life. He

Mrs. Livermore said to him,
General Grant, these girls are
dying to kiss you-but they don't
dare to do it." "WelI," said the
gallant General, IF they want to
kiss me why don't they? Nobody

Instantly about a huldr d fairies

retreat, bat in vain; he ess aged to
break through the rosy ran KS, with.
out success. Then, for the first
time, he confessed himself van

4 GRASSHoPPER PLAGUE Con-
rNG.-Genera! SulIy, in a private
letter from Sioux City, gives the
following interesting account of the
grasshopper plague which is desc
Iating the regions of country he has
traversed. He says: The only
thing spoken of about here is grass
hoppers. They are awful They
have actually eaten holes in my
wagon covers, and in the paullns
that cover mp stores. A soldier on
his way here laid down to sleep in
the middle of the day on the
prairie the troops had been march
ing all night. His comrades no.
tIced him covered with grasshoppers
and woke him. His throat and
wrists were bleeding from the bites
OF these insects.
This is no fiction. Last wear,
about five days march from the
Yellow Stone, we met the army of
grasshoppers on their way East.
After that | suffered greatly for
grass, and many animals died. =
The grasshoppers made general
clearing down to this place, and
here disappeared. This year they
appeared very small, at first, bu:
they are fast growing, and getting
wings, when | suppose they will
start somewhere else. These in
sec;s that have appeared this year
are no doubt from the eggs of those
of last year, for there are none
above Randall or far east of this.
| wonder what the Quartermaster-
General in Washington would say
If he should receive a report Of
tents, wagon covers, and paulins
and condemned, eaten
up by grasshoppers."

The purpose of Grant becomes more OBJ

~WHERLNG MEN have always been
noted for their pluck and powers of endur-
ence. What they are unable to endure
others had better avoid. The return of SO
many of our boys, who by the casualties of
war, have had occasion to occupy berths in
the various prison bells of the South, is
additional testimony as to their right to
boast of these qualities. Like a cat they
always come right side up, and as old Abe
says, this reminds us of little incident. A
few years ago one of our citizens was en-
ployed on a Mississippi steamer. At the
time the river was over the banks aud the
surrounding country flooded for miles.
During the night our navigator was I'M
fortunate enough to fall overheard. The
startling cry of man overheard produced
intense excitement among crew and pas
sengers. The boat was stopped and prep
arations set on foot to rescue the uuforta-
nate man. But the Captain upon learning
his name Immediately ordered the Pilot to
go ahead, declaring the man was from
Wheeling and it was impossible for him to
drown. The boat proceeded on her upward
trip and our hero was given up for lost, but
the correctness of the Captains opinion was
verified in a very short time. Wheeling
made for log, and the same straddle wise
guided himself safe into port, where taking
another and swifter boat Joined his own
steamer before she reached her destination.
So it is with our Wheeling prisoners
All the wrongs and hardships of Southern

Arrival of Scouts from Sherman's
Army.

NV YoBK, March l6.-A Herald's vii.
miDgton dispatch dated the Ilth SAYS:
Two of Gen. Shsrmsn's scouts named G.
Quimby and NJ. j. Amich, the same who
communicated with General Foster on the
Ogetchee, reached Wilmington on the 10th.
They left Sherman at Laurel Hill marching
on and expecting to reach Fayetteville,
either on the night ofthe 10th or morning
of the 11th.
Boats started at once up the Cape Fear
river to remove obstructions and open COM
munication to Fayetteville.
Sherman met no serious opposition on
his march, and fought no battle.
Rebel scouts have been lowering round
him constantly. A division of cavalry
commanded by Gen. McButlers, is in his
rear.
Dick Taylor has not been seen, rebel
reporters to the contrary notwithstanding.
Gen. Sherman crossed the Great Pede,
at Cheraw, on the 4th inst. The town on
the South bank was eutreuched but the
rebels make feeble defense. Sherman's
cavalry dashed in on the run, and the reb-
els dashed out also on the run. In their
flight they chivslrOusly left to our men
seventeen guns in position. Four more
were found on the north bank.
The rebels appeared content with acting
as an escort to Sherman's army, trotting
along in front as if they had captured his
whole army, as they also had division of
very peaceable cavalry following behind.
The army is iD most excellent health
and condition. They have lived quite as
sumptuOusly as when on the Georgia
march. At frst, one.quarter rations OF
meat and other provisions were served ,Ebut
the abundance found in the country soon
rendered this unnecessary, and now only
coffee aud sugar are issued. Everything
else is furnished by Forging parties. Com.
munication was cent to Sherman on the
1lth by courier, escorted by a regiment
of cavalry. This was rendered necessary
by strong parties of rebel scouts and guer-
rillas on the approaches to Wilmingtou,-I
sherman's couriers narrowly escaped, and
were driven to make detour of 40 miles
They represent the people living along the
route as strongly faVoring the Union, and
anxious for the appearance of the national
army.
