A correspondent of the Chicago Journal
ro ates tho following Interview o. u Federal
foragiug party with Tennessee farmer.
AT another place wo called the owner, n
man of over sixty years, we'll saved, yet
evidently much cast down and dishearten.
cd. He was polite, and answered all quos.
tons todiously On being askel what he
had 10 spare he answered, "Not much--in-
deed nothing" Ills wife and four children
standing by him said not word, but the
countenanoc of tho whole group showed
that the old man told the truth. "Indeed
| have nothing, said he; what, with one ar
my and another, campaigning through this
part of Tonnessee, they have stripped mo
of all could spare aud more too" "lIavo
you no horses or mulos?" asked tho officer.
Nes," answered tho man, II have one
moro mule, which is entirely broken down,
It was oltby trooper, who took my last
horse in its stead" No beef cattlo2 was
the next question, "No, not one" was the
answer. Any hogs2 "Yes sir, have four
pigs which had intended for my winter
supply of meat" Any uegroes9 asked the
officer. mo not one, my servants all left
me two or three months ago, ! have not
one ON the place. have 10 ohop all my
wood, and my wife and daughters do the
wheatS "No wheat, and only two or threo
barrels of corn was the reply. Let's SEQ
your mule? said the officer. II was brought
up, and was as tho old man said. Show
mo those pigs, was the noxt demand.
When the old man heard this, he could
hardly speak Ibis hopes were almost at an
end. He showed the pigs, however, they
were no moro than such a family would need.
nor as much. Tho officer then kindly said:
You may keep all these things; they will
help you out, and can bo of but littlo good
to us, and gave the old man "a safe guard" "
which might save his property from our
troops. Three years ago this man owned
a large well stocked plantatiou--had cattle
aud hogs in plenty, with servants to come
at his call, and corn TO sell or to keep.
Now lao was sincerely thankful, and much
moved, that we spared him his four little
shoots, his pittance of corn, and his old
marc mule with which ho hoped to make
q small crop next spring. Tho war had
beon at his very door; no had seen it in all
its relations and knew that it was vigor-
ously prosecuted
