Romance on the RaIL.

A pretty little bit Of romance developed it.
self in one Of the State street cara on Friday.
Among the passengers was q pale, quiet little
woman, plainly dressed, and very pretty with.
al Presently a one-legged soldier lsbored
into the car on his crutches The seats were
crowded end the soldier had to stand. The
young woman got up, pulled the blue sleeve,
and pointed to the seat she had vacated For
the first time, as he turned, she had a full
view Of his face, and neither OF them paid
any more attention to the empty seat They
stared each other minute, and then. in spite
Of the awkard motion Of the car, embraced
and kissed each other with hysterical fervor,
At first, the passengers we're somewhat aston
ished at so public demonstration but all
of them soon Joined in congratulating the
delighted couple, upon learning that two per-
sons thus suddenly brought together were
man and wife, long separated by the vieis-
situdes of war. The soldier had been
desperately wounded in Tennessee and taken
prisoner He was supposed to have been
killed, and before be was restored to freedom
and able to write, his wife, or widow, as she
supposed herself, removed to Chicago, and SO
his letters never reached her The poor fel.
low, as soon as be could travel, set out for
home, with desponding heart to learn why
his letters had never been answered, He
reached Chicago on Friday, on his way thither,
when the generous impulse of a kind little
woman to MANNED soldier, brought her
back loving husband, and threw him in the
arms Of wife who had long mourned him as
among that innumerable host who have lain
down their lives for the salvation OF their
country Chicago Republican.

.ailg Gmpire,
Fate Of the Negro.

Hon John g. Pendleton, is candidate for
Congress from Virginia, and in the course oil
an able address to his constituents, he says.
VI have seen negro slavery, believe,
wherever it exists and in the different stages
of its transition, from absolute bondage to
perfect liberty, in all those parts of this con-
tinent wherever it did exist, and in which it
has now ceased to exist, as also ia that large
country where it still exists--the Brazils.
As q mere laborer--by which mean a man
who executes manuslly the orders of another,
without the exercise Of any intelligence OF his
own-the African in the Southern States of
the old Union was the best cared for and most
respectable man of his class in any part of
the world-immoasurably above Poems or
Doors, or any of that social grade anywhere
AS man, he was far superior TO any of his
race, in Africa or out of it, His doom,
lament, as l regard the total extinction OF his
whole race, so far az this country is sconcerned
a mere question OF time In several States
of this continent, in which have resided for
years, wiser and better men than the aboli-
ZIONIST Of New England. have tried the exper--
lment OF making him q gentleman with
precisely the same result everywhere. IL has
been itRl failure in every instance and in
all climates and forms of government, except
in few and rare cases, and then only when
reared by gentlemen of the first class, who
are also frst-rate disciplinarians. There is
no necessity Of war now for making him
citizen--the pretext on which he was made
freedman; but suppose he will be made so,
and that will be some advantage to Virginia
at least. Made a citizen, he has the run Of all
the States, and will naturally 60 to his good
and honest friends
sTRoNGMlNDED WOMEN AND POLITICAL PAR
Mr.. Pendleton is particularly sharp upon
strong-minded women of thu Miss Dickinson
stripe, and upon political parsons, of which
two classes he says:
"The political parsons and strong minded
women are like all such creatures,i in all coun.
tries, and in all times. With our aboriginal
tribes, they are prophets, the medicine me n,
the copjurers and the squaws--people who
live by loafing, and stealing, and other prac-
tces not more reputable, decent, or virtuous.
In war they are utterly worthless, and in peace
as mischievious and malicious as they are
worthless in war--always cowardly and always
cruel-saints in face, but demons in heart;
and whether at scenes Of couciliation and
peace, at the stake or torture or the war dance,
in the lobies Of revolutionary tribunals, or at
the "auto de fe," the same miserable and
detestabe wretches."

Array MATTERS.

NEW YORK, April II.
The HeTdLdS correspondent at Deatops
vile, April 7th, says that up to that time
the captures from Lees army were i'm.
mense in men and material. For miles
the roads were strewn with wagons, artil-
lery and ammunition, showing with what
tenacity the pursuit was pressed.
Sheridan made the largest part of the
captures, but the infantry are entitled to an
equal share of the credit.
Our loss in the pursuit was not large
General Mott was wounded in the leg, but
is now doing we'll. Captain Thomas, Of
the lst Pennsylvania Cavalry, captured
four battle flags, had four horses shot under
him, and finally lost leg.
The rebels are greatly surprised at the
rspidity of our movements.
Grant, speaking Of our successes on the
9Th, said: Sheridan told me he was coming
up to help me take Richmond, but. he add
ed, we will capture Lees army, march
down and gobble up Johnston, and shake
hands with Sherman over the line.
The HerGLds City Point correspondent
dating April 9th, says; 1t is reported that
the President last night received acommu-
nication on the subject of peace, which
came from without our lines.
City Point is still the base of supplies for
our armies in the field. Railroad commu-
nication has been opened to Notswsy Court
House.
The HerGlGs Richmond correspondent
says: A committee has gone to Lynchburg
to invite the Virginia Legislature to return
10 Richmond. Several members who re-
mained in the city are working for the
restoration Of the State to the Union on
the condition of the abolition of slavery.
Only 5000 hhds. of the French tobacco
in Richmond were destroyed by fire.
The proceedings of the Virginia seces-
sion convention are published, showing
that Lee, when notified in the presence Of
the Convention of bis selection as COM
mander of the Virginia military and naval
forces, replied: "Trusting in Almighty
God, in approving conscience and the aid
Of my fellow citizens, devote myself to
the service of my native State, in whose
behalf alone will ever again draw my
sword"
The HeraLFs City Point dispatch of the
9th inst. says; Official dispatches arrived
here last night from Sherman to Grant.
They were Immediately forwarded to the
front.
The Tribl1le's Washington special says
A strong pressure is being brought to bear
for the release of the captured Generals
EWell and Curtis Lee. General Picket's
bsrbsrity in shooting the North Carolina
Union prisoners is sought to be excused
by the statement that he acted under Gen.
Lees orders

How Many Lives the War has Cost.

How Many Lives the War has Cost.
Whether through negotiations or by
war, peseein some way is not far distant.
1t is good time, therefore, to note what
has been the waste Of life by the war.
Official statements, carefully made up in
the War Department, will show, it is said,
that the number of soldiers in our service
who have died since the war began will
reach the startling number Of two hundred
and forty thousAnd, or nearly quarter OF
a million Of these, two hundred and
twenty-one thousand have died in the SER
vice, from wounds or sickness in the field
and in hospitals. The authorities estimate
the number of deaths from wounds or dis
ease contracted in the service, which did
not prove fatal till after discharge, and do
not therefore appear in the foregoing state
men3, at twenty thousand more.
These figures will prove to many pleas
ing disappointment. So much has been
said of our Hhetacombs Of slain" that near
ly everybody supposed only millions could
enumerate them. That our whole loss in
four years has not been nearly so great a.
our increase by emigration, to say nothing
of the natural increase Of population, is
itself the proof that we are in no sense re-
duced by exhaustion TO make peace on any
terms save the absolute submission Of the
insurgents.

FINANCIAL.
NEW YORK, April II.
To-day at the Stock Exchange, the rail-
way share market was generally weak.
There was marked decline in Erie, and q
strong pressure to sell railway shares at
the last Board.
Government bonds were all frmer at the
Board, with a limited amount offering.
After call the extreme rates were not fully
sustained.
Coal aud miscellaneous shares were
steady without special change.
The Assistant Treasurer has h1ed cotton
and gold certificates at l451.
The gold room has been generally quiet
and without much animation, the difference
between the two extremes was one per
cent.
Money is offered very freely st per
cent. and some transactions were made ct

large and the demand quite moderate.
