OCCUPATION OF CHARLOTTES'
VILE.
The Rebel Accounts.

From the Richmond Enquirer, March Is
About the LIST of the present month,
Sheridan, with between 5000 and 10000
men, started on raid up the valley, Wis
tied Staunton unopposed, and crossed the
Blue Ridge at Rocktish Gap, opposed by
Early and some 1900 men. The opposi-
ton was fruitles5, however, our forces
being almost surrounded by overwhelming
numbers and over 1000 captured The
enemy then entered Charlottesville unop-
posed The following letter gives an in
teresting sketch of the occupation of that
place:
CuARIorrEsvu.LE March Q, 1866.
The Yankee army, five thousand strong,
entered this place on Friday, about two
o'clock p NJ, the Sd instant, unopposed.
The Mayor and civil authorities of the cor
poration met the enemy on hill south
west of the University rotunda, where the
town was surrendered by the Mayor, and
protection to private property guaranteed
by the Yankees to the citizens and to the
authorities of the University. At first
five horsemen with drawn pistols rode up
to the flag of truce, and then Immediately
galloped to town, then followed six others,
and then Gen. Gustav, surrounded by a
dozen or twenty men, bearing Confederate
flags captured from the defeated and rout
ed troops of Gen. Early then followed
the entire column through the main street
to the front of the Baptist Female Insti-
tute. All the stores we're closed and the
windows of the houses were generally
blinded, and but for the rabble of negroes
and mean, low bred white women on the
streets, everything indicated dead and
buried city.
Soon after the arrival of the invaders
guards were placed at every street, crossed
along the line Of march. Gen. Merritts
headquarters were established at Mrs. B.
81. Shacklefords, and Gen. Sheridans at
Mrs. Elizabeth Coles; the signal CORPS at
Mr.. John Cochrane's. An interview was
held between the Mayor asd Rev. DR..
Broaddus and Gen. Gustav, when the lat
ter assured these gentlemen that every ne
cessary protection should be given to pri-
vate property. AT the close of the day
the Mayor and Aldermen were sent for at
the headquarters of Gen Merritt, who
were requested to procure corn and forage
to supply the horses of the invaders. and
delivered to them st their camps. Unless
this was done an order to search the prem.
Uses of the citizens would have to be made.
The civil authorities promised to make in
auiries among the citizens to ascertain
how much of the articles required they
had on hand, the General saying when he
needed them be would send his wagons
for the articles. Four hundred bushels OF
corn belonging to our government were
ssund at Cochraneis mill, and few hun.

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

Major General Doyle, commanding
the British forces in Nova Scotia, has Just
returned from visit to General Grants
army. He spent upward of week in ex-
amining the defences of our entire line.
He speaks in high terms of our soldiers,
and the spirit of the army be says is excel
lent The most significant thing which
he saw was the large number of deserters
coming into our lines daily. This fact, he
says, shows more conclusively than any
thing else that the rebel soldiers are tired
of the war.
The Union State Convention, of E. l.,
has nominated Jas. G. Smith for reelection
for Governor, and Jacob Danpel, of Paw
tucket, for Lieutenant Governor.
Gen. Crooks and Kelley have been
exchanged and have arrived at Fortress
Monroe.
Mrs. Gen. Grant, Mrs. Stanton, Mrs.
Griffin, and about twenty more ladies,
witnessed review of the left wing of the
Army Of the Potomac recently, in light
spring bonnets. "
The Evansville Journal is informed
that in consequence of the unprecedented
rise in the Tennessee River, immense ouan.
titles OF government stores, corn and hay,
have been submerged, and OF course de-
stroyed, at Eastport. If this is so there
has DO doubt been gross neglect of duty
on the part OF the quartermaster at that
post. ne Is the same officer who destroyed
the gunboats and transports at Johnson
vile last tall.
Two hundred and seventy-five per-
sons have been run over and killed while
walking or lying upon the railroad tracks
in Massachusetts, during the last ten years.
The largest number in any one year was
thirty eight Gin 1862, and the smallest
twenty-five Gin 1868. With these facts,
published from year to year, it is extraor.
binary that people will persist in the dan.
gerous practice OF using the railroad tracks
instead of the highway either for walking
or sleeping. .-.--.----.-.---,.,.

NEW SERIES-NO. 59l
One Hundred and Fifteen Millions
rs of 1905:

From the Philadelphia Press, March 18th.
Nearly II millions of the popular 7-30 loan
had been disposed Of up to Saturday night last,
and not more than so millions of this particular
loan yet remain. 1t will be borne in mind that
the notes nowl sold have little less than two
and half years | to run before they mature,
when the valuable privilege occurs of their
convertibility into 5-20 bonds, which have five
years to run from August Is, 1867. It is gen.
orally believed that our new and able Secrei
tary, Mr.. McCulloch, favors the present popu-
lar system of distributing Government loans,
as now familiar to the people. Therefore it is
to be expected that, after the present issue of
7-SOs is exhausted, the sale will be continued
upon new issue, having a longer period to
run before the valuable privilege of converti-
bility into 500 bonds occurs to them. The six
hundred millions just authorized by Congress
will probably, as far as needed, be raised from
sales of the $50 loan, divided up into three or
four series of issues-say one hundred million
or 150 900, 600 each-the first series of one hun
dred and fifty millions maturing say one year
later than the present old issue, and so on,
making each series mature one year later than
the previous one, and if holders required the
loan paid at maturity, the demand could be met
by receipts from internal revenue and other
sources. The subscription agent while en-.
deavoring to dispose of the present issue as
rapidly as possible, does not wish to convey
the idea that there will be no more of the $50
loan, as Mr.. McCulloch will doubtless decide
that the people shall be allowed to continue
their subscriptions without changing the ma.
ture of the loan further than to postpone the
maturity of the issues to later periods. Some
will regard those maturing at an earlier date
with more favor; others, regarding the prob
ability of speedy resumption of specie pay
ments, will favor those having d longer time
to run

The announcement Of the revocation
of the passport order was cause for jubi-
lee on the banks of the Niagara. At Sus-
pension Bridge and Niagara Falls In par
ticular, the people on both sides of the
river were delighted. The hotels were
thrown open, and the people from either
side went there for reciprocal congratula-
tons. Everything was free, and some who
appreciated the importance of the event
celebrated more fully than others, and
went in for grand drunk.

General orders, just issued, declare
that the War Department will not here

no one should allow fears of gold going below

to sale. If gold goes below that figure it will
probably be but temporary. IL

Within o little drawer hid
Where curious eyes may never pry,
Nor lawless fingers rove unbid,
My little stock of treasures lie.
A faded rose and withered leaf,
Which mem ries of the past doth bring,
Tell of a passion fair and brief
As flowers of the early spring.
4 little button, purest gold,
Which once upon my heart wore,
Lies here l have never told
Why it from my bosom tore.
For she who gave it was as fair
As Parian marble-and as cold
No bosom, when no heart was there,
Could tempt me with its sheen of gold.
These little shells and pretty stones,
These pictures ringlets, and these curls,
Are all which now my spirit owns,
Of many loved and loving girls.
All when open this recess,
The window of the past, it seems
Is lifted, and my SOU to bless
The old light through the portal CLEANS.

And forms loved again l VIEW

And now within this little chink
Another curl perhaps the last,

To chains which bind me to the past.
1t grew upon the saddened crown
Of one, poetess, who sings
Beneath the shadow of deaths frOwn-
A chrysalis with glowing wings.
Those wings extended soon will bear
Our song-bird who on earth hath striv'n,
High upward through the ambient air
To join the angel choirs in heav'n!
Then when gaze upon this nook,
And union with the past renew,
I'll see this curl and upward look
And cry, "To hedven ii binds me too p
