A VErsRAS.-We had the pleasure, on
Monday evening, to meet Rev. JAMES
ScHoFIELD, (residence at Rossville, Iowa, }
now Chaplain Of the U. S. General Hospital
at Jefferson City. He took the Nasca on
Tuesday morning for his post. Mr.. S. is
Baptist minister, man of olden times,
though vigorous looking, Of fine mind and
manners, rather disposed to adhere to
former ideas of ministerial duty than to
the latter fancies about "progress."-
Preaching sermons from Bible terts on
the raising Of sorghum, building railroads,
settling Kansas, the structure Of fire arms
and. othcr strictly. secular subjects, is not
to his taste. Mr.. s. is New Yorker and
about 60 years old, but not frail. He was
injured by fall recently and was triAe
lame. His eldest son, JAMES, is Pastor OF
the First Baptist Church in St. Louis 1--WE
believe). His second son, j. NJ, is the
Maj. General his third, G. w., is brevet
Brigadier. Another son is at St. Paul in
the Or. Masters Dept. Very creditable to
the name are the "boys;" the modesty
with which he spoke of his distinguished
sons, won our most cordial esteem. Maj.
Gen. Schofield is only SO years old.
We hope some time to meet these ''sons
Of a worthy sire" at McGregor when on
their way to the family home, only - miles
west Of this place. ......

yet, on arriving at the settlements found

home, and that the most sinister motives
have been ascribsd to me. l have made
frequent official reports in all public mat
ters, and all Of them have been carefully
suppressed, whilst the most ridiculous
nonsense has been industriously spread
abroad through oil the newspapers. Well,
you know what importance attach to such
matters, and that I have been too lonr
fighting with real rebels with muskets in
their hands to be scared by mere non com.
batants, no matter how high their civil rank
or station may be. It's amusing to observe
how brave and firm some men become when
all danger is past. Ihaoe noticed on fields
Of battle 6rave men never insult the cdptur.

the act, but Shakespeare records how poor
Fslstaff, the prince Of towards and wits,
rising from feigned death, stabbed again
the dead Percy, and carried the carcass aloft
in triumph to prove his valor. So now,
when the rebellion in our land is dead many
Falstaffs appear to brandish the evidence
Of their valor and seek to win applause, and
to appropriate honors for deeds that never
were done. As 10 myself, ask no popu.

justice from Maine to the Rio Grandc, and
If 1t does not exist now substantially it is
for State reasons, beyond my comprehen.
sion. 1t may be thought strange that one
who has no fame but as soldier should
have been so careful to try to restore the
civil power Of the government and the
peaceful jurisdiction Of the federal courts,
but it is difficult to discover in that fact any
just cause Of offense to an enlightened and
free people, but when men choose to Islander
and injure others they can easily invent the
facts for the purpose when the proposed
victim is far away engaged in public service
At their own bidding, but there is consola.

severance enough to get to the bottom.
