business he spoeulates on n grander
scale, that's all. Well fishing is a lot
terry. There is glorious uncertainty
about il that appeals to the gambling
instinct OF humanity The blanks
are many, the prizes comparatively few.
and the pastime has the rare merit Of
being at once innocent and exciting.
The angler while awaiting the results
ofhis subaducons investments, loses
sight ofall his graver ventures No
thought OF the sharks, gudgcons, or
suckers of the mart, crosses his mind
as he sits watching his hoat--the ST.
lent atmosphere that keeps him enrap
port with the fshy world over which it
is suspended His whole mind is con
centrated upon that cork. His rod
and line are simply artificial combina-
tons of his nervous system. A bite

ates the circulation of his blood, and
even quickcns the peristaltic motion o.
his bowels. Lay your finger gently
on an anglers pulse when engaged in
his vocation--in his abstraction he will
he Unconscious Of your touch--and the
instant the float hobs you will feel the
artery bound. In short, there is moth
ing that so completely enchams and
all the observing faculties as
fishing There is one objection to the
sport, however; it somtimes, for ex-
ample when "sockdologer' snaps
the line at the critical moment, leads
to the use of unhalowed interjectons.
We have known very exemplary per
sons to vcntilato their vexation in
volley of profane explosives on such
occasions. Letus hope that when the

this nature in Heavens chanceTy, the
recording angel puts the ejaculation in
the same category with Uncle Toby's
oath, and wipes them out with n sym
pathizng tear. We are quite sure ne
does, il he has ever been a-ishing;
for TO lose noble front, or bass, or
pike, after he is fairly hooked, is
enough to provoke even an angel.

The ROMANCE or A Coon HUST.-
Kentucky appears to furnish a full
share Of runaway matches, most of
whom wend their way to Cincinnati,
to embark on the sea Of matrimony.
We find in late number Of the Com
mercial, an affair Of this kind, managed
in very novel, but successful man
ner:
"a certain Mr.. Hanes, Of Owens
borO, loved a certain Miss Throck
morton, who lived in the country, near
that place. Miss Throckmorton loved
Mr.. Hanes; but her father didn't. On
the contrary, he threatened to deposit
an ounce of lead in Mr. Hanes' body,
if that individual should dare 20 per
severe in his suit But the threatened
lover was not frightened. He became
strategist lie enlisted in his service
number of young men Of his ac-
quaintaDce, and gave postal currency
with liberal hand 20 the colored citi-
zens resident at the loved ones home.
The result was, a coon hunt on the
plantation, in which all the people Of
the place joined and, while the en-
ragged father Joined in the sport, Mr..
Hanes hunted for his love, seated her
by his side in a buggy, behind fast
horse, drove to the nearest station,
came TO Cincinnati, and was married.

HEADQUARTERS DEPT OF THE PoToMAC,
RICHMOND, Va, December Is, 1866.
Instructions for Disposing Of the animals
and other Government Property Which may
be taken up under General Orders No. ii,
from these Headquarters
The commander of each district, or an
officer to be designated by such COM
mander, the officer of the Freedmen's Blu 4.
reau at the place where public property
may be collected, and a civilian to be
chosen by those officers, will constitute a
Board for the disposal Of all such property
and the settlement of all claims of civilians
which may arise under the order above re-
ferred to.
The Board will appraise and fix the value
of each animal, or other item of property,
and the persons now holding will be per-
mitted TO purchase at such appraised value.
In cases where property has been re-
ceived at a stated value, with promise to
return the property when called for, or
pay the value stated, that stated amount
only will be required, although the ami
mails may now be more valuable. And in
no case will the value tobe fixed for sale to
parties now rightfully holding the animals
be greater than was the said value at the
time they were received from an officer of
the army, or taken up as aStray. Where
broken-down animals were given to citi-
zenS, to replace those lost by the war, or TO
poor people to enable them to gain liveli-
hood, only a nominal value will be fixed,
and the animals will be sold at such nominal
value to the persons now rightfully holding
them, either by gift from an officer of the
army or by bona .fde purchase from the
person to whom they were given, in order
that their title may be perfected.
Property not disposed of as above pre-
scribed will be reported to the chief quar-
tcrmaSter, and will, under his direction, be
sold at public auction or used in the Co
vernment service.
For sale 10 others than the persons now
holding them, animals will be appraised at
their present value.
Each Board will make full report Of all
its proceedings, and, after paying all ne
cessary expenses, will turn over the pro-
cccds of the sale Of property to the chief
quartermaster.

The Horse Order.
MEnERRIN. December Id, MS


General Schofeld's late order calling
upon the citizens to deliver up all horses
or mules branded l. S or G S where no
quartermaster's certificate exists proving
sale of such property at Government auc-
ton is creating some excitement and con-
siderable uneasineSs among the people who
hold such stock.
Your correspondent being at Burkeville
few days ago, with several hours to spare,
made il convenient TO call upon Captain
Connally, the provost marshal, especially
To learn something respecting this business,
and, besides witnessing his decision in our
case, found that officer oblging and
courteous enough to give all the intorma-
tion desired. The case alluded to is where
a gentleman delivered a horse which he
had found astray about the time of Gene
raj Lees surrender, or purchased him
from some person who had picked him up
by the roadside and there being no GER
tficate of Government sale, the horse
clearly comes under the order as United
States property; but the gentleman seemed
10th and sorry to part with his horse, and
Captain Connally told him, if he desired TO
appeal TO General Schotield, that he would
give him ample time 10 do So-would for
ward any communication for him or assist
him in any way consistent with duty-and
that in the mean time he would not de-
Drive him of the horses services, and he
could take him home until the case was
finally decided by General Schofield.
9 II is presumed that Government certiti-
Gates OF sale follow each horse when sold,
and whenever re-sold, or snapped off said
certificate should accompany the stock:
but if the certificate is lost, an affidavit,
properly vOuched, will be satisfactory.
There are more branded horses along the
line of Lees retreat and CONTINUOUSLY than
in any other portion of the State; and 1t is
thought very many belong to the class now
demanded by the Government. In some
cases, all upon farm are of that kind
and there must be considerable suffering
through our section unless some modifca-
ton OF the stringent order is made at an
early day. We believe If the case was pro-
perly and fairly presented TO General Scho-
field that he would use his influence with
the Secretary Of War to induce some leni-
ency towards us. If nothing more could
be secured than time TO make one more
crop, we should then be in condition to
purchase this stock or return 1t In good
condition. 1t is feared this stock will not
he offered for sale within our reach; and
when carried entirely out Of the State,
there will be scarcity and demand Tor
horses not easy to supply. y. ".
Our correspondent will learn from the
following orders, recently issued by Gene
raj Schofeld, that the order in regard to
horses has been modified. General SchQ-

Gather the sacred dust

Who bore the Flag of our nations trust,
And fell in n cause as great as just,
And died for me and you.
Wherever the brave have died
They should not rest apart;
Living they struggled side by side
Why should the hand Of Death divide
A single heart from heart?
Gather them, each and all,
From the Private 10 the Chief;
Came they from cabin or lordly hall,
Over their dust let tire fresh tears fall
OF nations holy grief.
No matter whence they came
Dear is their lifcless clay
Whether unknown or known TO fame,
Their cause and country were the same
They died-and wore the Gray.
Gather the corpses strOwn
Ger many battle plain
From many a grave that lies so lone,
Without name and without 4 stone
Gather the Southern slain.

While the living 0 er them weep:

And the hearts that once together bled,
Should now together sleep.
