W!w EARLY DIDS'T TAKE WASHING
Ton Crry.-Thc credit of saving the city
is due alone to bull and barrel Of whis.
key. Said bull was the property of Mr..
George W. Riggs, the banker, and was
much esteemed for his many excellent
qualities and intrinsic usefulness. The
whiskey WAS barrel of choice old Bur
bon, foiNd in Mr.. Montgomery B!air's
wine.ccllar. When Jqbal Early and his
rebel host reached the defcnces of Wash.
jngton they were both hungry and thirsty,
and went to searching the houses of the
neighborhood for whatever was good.
The bull was discovered and slaughtered,
and the rebel Generals and their staiis
banouetted onhim. And there was great
rejoicing when the barrel of whiskcy was
captured and brought forth. When these
rebel gentleman had filled thcis .stomachs
on the flesh of the bull, they had such a
fondness for the whiskcy that they allow
ed it to steal away their brains. Indeed,
they gave themselves up to feasting and
drinking, and quite forgot that they had
been sent to capture Washington, which
they might easily have done, for it was at
that time in defenceless condition. The
delay caused by this riotous conduct on
the part of Early and his subordinate
Generals gave the old Sixth corps time
to come up, when they scampered back
across the Potomac, and the siege was
raised National Republican.

Hark Ye Girls /!

1t is high time that somebody told you
little plain truth. You have been
watched for long time; certain class
of you; and ii ic plain enough you are
laying plans to cheat somebody. You
intend to sell chafI for wheat, and there
is danger that some Of the foolish "gud-
gcona" will be sad y taken in.
1t may rot be your fault that you be-
long to the cone ilea party"-that the
single idea of getting q ilastand is the
only one which cngrosscs much Of your
time or attention. Your venerable mother
of Eden memory, was called "help for
man. and you are looking for man to
help you; to help you live in the half
idle, half silly way which you have com
mcnccd. Men who are worth having
want: women for wives. a bundle of
gew-gaws with string of flats and qua
vers, sprnkled cologne and set in car.
mine sauccr-tliis is no help for nan
who expects to raise 6 family of boys and
girls and veritable bread and meat.
Tic piano and the lace frame are well
in their places. and so are ribbons and
frills and tinscla, but you can't make q
dinner of the iorrnef, nor q bed blanket
of the latter. And awful rs the idea may
seem to you, both dinner and bed blanket
are necessary to domestic enjoyment.
Life has its realities rs well us its fancics,
but you make it all a matter of decora-
ton, remembering the tasscls and cur.
tains, forgetting the bcdstead. Suppose a
young mau of good sense and of course
good prospects to be looking for a wife,
what chance have you 10 be chosen? You
may cap him, Or trap him, TO catch him,
but how much better 20 make it an object
for him to catch you Render yourself
worth catching, and you will need no
sllrewd mother or managing brothers to
help YOU find market.

was none able to resist their graclo!usness:
their charms, their smiles, their tears,
their loves, but above all their scorn, sar-
casn and contempt.
1t never has been the'haGit of the wo-
men of the South to attend public meetings
and We have never heard :hat they did
SO during the war. But the other charges
brought against them are tr'le-to their
immortal honor be it said. :. The fervent
love of country, the de.otion to principle,
The unaffected piety, the generous self
sacrifice. the calm courage, the womsnly
tendern ess, the unainchng tortitude, they
exhibited whenever circumstances provok-

Just out Of Their Holes.

The Petersburg Mdcr. of Wednesday,
says the serenity of the office of the COM
Inanding officer of this post was agitated
on yesterday, by the apparition Of four
Confederate soldiers, who gave thcirnames
and !" descriptive lists as follows:
Anthony Monkas. Co. F. sd Georgia
Infantry. Sd Army Corps, A. N. y.
Thomas Wells, ditto.
James Brinberter, ditto.
Allan Tewksberry, 42d Louisiana, ditto.
A moro ragged set of mortals had nev-
er appeared before the Colonel during all
the dealings he has ever had with the
ragged rebels'' of Lees army. Tewks.
berry was sort of walking illustration
of original patchwork. His clothing had
been tied, and scwed. and stuck together
with string, and thread and thorns, until
there did not appear solitary square
inch upon it which had not been tied up,
sswed up, or stuck mp, in some way or
other. His companions were not quite
as badly of, one having pair of blue
Yankee pantaloons, with only q half a
dozen rents in it; another hiding the rag:
gedness of his grey pants with flowing,
though rib6onry, Yankee ovcrcoat, and
the other making his deccncy apparent
by concealing the defects of his upper
garments with an old oilcloth fly, awfully
bedaubed with mud.
Tewksberry stated to the Colonel that
he and his party stopped on the Appomat-
tox, about seven miles above the city, af
terthe evacuation of Petersburg, for the
purpose, at first, of resting that they
stayed longer than they expected, and
were cut off. They then made vow to
live on that spot, and never go home or
give up until the Confederacy was COM
pletely annihilated. They sought out
cave in the banks of the river, which, at
that point, is very rocky, and, after some
little industry, succeeded in erecting for
themselves most comfortable little
home. Here they lived upon fish and
game and occasionally roasting ears dur
ing all last summer, and upon bread made
of corn they had gathered from the corn
fields, and an occasional pig they found
without mother, in their rambles during
the winter. This spring and summer
they lived as they did last summer, but
recently, hearing from an old negro man
that the Confederacy had undoubtedly
"gone up" they concluded to quit the
barbarian life and surrender. They march.
ed to the city yesterday morning, with
their nuskets and accoutremeuts, stacked
arms in front Of headquarters, sent in
wopl that they we're the remnant Of the
arni,t Of Northern Virginia and TINT they
wished ts Surrender ubot the conditions
accorded to the main b6dy. Sol Milton
cordially assented 10 their request, gave
them transportation to their homes, and
bade them .adieu.
The ilustrious four roamcd about
town for short time, had new suits of
clothing given them, and after being
made about half drunk, elaba-ked on the
Southern trainfor their homes.

but an inviting performance: yet by its
omission great deal of the refreshment
which The hours of repose are designed
