A Recruit from the Grave.

The wal has produced many strange
stories. but few more singular than the
following one. related by Colonel Ellis,
late OF the First Missouri Cavalry, in a St.
Louis paper:
A few days after a 6ercely contested
battle. a party Of soldiers belonging to the
First Missouri took q jaunt over the battle
field, and came up to q spot where the rebel
dead were buried. In one place the hair
of a mans head was seen sticking out Of
the ground like q tuft of grass, and near by
a hand was seen protruding upward. which
evidently belonged to the corpse that
owned the head Of hair. One Of the cav
alrymen remarked to his companions. in a
spiri, of levity? See. there's a dead reb
reaching out for something let's see what
he wants." In the anne spirit Of wanton
mischief, almost recklessness. the cavalry
man took hold Of the mans hand, and
hauled the body out Of the grave. the loose
dirt falling back into the shallow hole.
Soon after the man began to stir and man.
ifest signs Of life. to the utter astonishment
and horror Of the resurrectionists. The
man was taken by his rescuers to their
tent, and was rubbed down, washed of,
and in a few days became As "good as
new" He said that in the battle he wat
stunned BY the passage of a shell, which
knocked him senseless. BE was picked
up amongst the dead and buried like the
rest. Not q scratch was found on ms
body. He said that he had joined the
rebel army and fought the Federals long
and well. but as this was his second APP
pesrance on earth, he would now join the
Federals and fight for them. he accord
ingly enlisted in the First Missouri. did q
good deal of tough marching and hard
fighting. and last September was mustered
out Of the service and paid of at Benton
Rarracks.

will venture the opinion that thcre can
not be isund five acres of unserviceable land
on Mr. S. eatire 10000 acres. Their pro-
duetiveneSs is unsurpassed. Almost ALI of
Mr.. :, s farming is conducted by laborsaving
machinery. so that it is estimated that through
out, one man will perform the average labor
OF four or five as conducted on small farms.S
He drives his posts by horse power; breaks
his ground by Comstock's Spades mows.
rakes, loads, unloads and stacks his hay bv
horsepower; cultiVates his corn by improved
machinery; bitches any low ground bv n,acbi-
merry, so that all his laborers can ride and
perform their tasks as easy as riding in a

when he harvested thousand acres of his
wheat; this was done with-'s "Headcrs"-
about ten Or twenty men aud twenty horses
cut and safely stacked away about 200 acres
per day, aud performed the work better than
l ever saw it by the, old modes. To give i.ll
the improved modes of farming employed by
this king of agriculture, would require more
space than you would like to spare. Not
withstanding all this labor-saving machinery.
Mr.. S. employs from one to two hundred
laborers, some two hundred horses and mules,
and large herd of working oxen. Not
having the exact data before me, 1 will not
venture to give the enormous returns, in
bushels or tons ofthe products Of this great
farm. Some estimate may be made from the
magnitude of the farm, taken in connection
with the fact that tho quality of the soil is
unequalled by the very best Sciota bottoms.

Another Civil War.

The New York World says it is leading
part of the plan of the hot headed radicals
to impeaeh the President at the next session
of Congress, in the. expectation that he will
resist being put out of Office by such Ruuip
and that, in this manner, civil war would
be precipitated. Senator Wilson has declared
it as his opinion that ''the President would
be impeached next winter, unless a change
took place this fall" Gerrit Smith has pub
lished a letter, iu which he expresses his
opinion that another civil war is probably
necessary. He says, 'The war will break
out again if suffrage is withheld from the
black man. 1t will, in that case, burst out
in revenge upon the loyal whites of the South.
in persecution of the blacks of the South.
and but too probably on a much broader, if
not, indeed, on a national scale In all pro-
liability our nation will learn no more of
Righteousness until she shall have drifted on
to another breaking up. In all probability
she must reach another bloody catastrophe
before her sunken soul shall feel another up
ward impulse"
~ In any other than an era when the senses
OF nIankind seem to have forsaken them. such
an atraciOus measure would consign its author
to lunatic asylum. Is the nation prepared
for the entertainment to which these fanatics
invite them? Ii it is. then farewell forever
to the peace, progress and liberty Of America.
Every man who has anything at stake, had
far better emigratc to Brazil or Australia
than remain. in the event of such horrors,
in the United States.

LABOR.


There's a never-dying chororls
Breaking ON the h4man ear,
In the busy town before us,
Voices loud, and deep, and clear,
This is labor's endless ditty;
This is toit's prophetic voice,
Sounding thr rlugh the town and city,
Bidding human hearts rejoice
Swceter than the poets singing,
Is that anthem of the free,
Brighter is the anvit's ringing
Than the song of bird or bee.
There's a glory IN the rattle
Ofthe wheels mid factory gloom;
Richer than eser snatclIed from battle
Are the trophies of the t6dnl.
See the skillfH mason raising
Round the Orge and furnace blazing
Stand the noble men of toll.
They are the heroes of the people,
Who the wealth of nations raise;
Every dome. and spire. and steeple,
Rear their heads in fabor's praise.
Glorious men of truth and labor,
Shepherds of the human lOId.
That shall lay the brand and sabre,
With the barbarous things of old.
Priests and prophets of creation,
Bloodless heroeS in the fight,
Toilers for the worlds salvation,
Messengers OF peace and light.
Speed the plow and speed the harrow;
Peace and plenty send abroad;
Better foI the spade and harrow
Than the cannon or the sword
Each invention, each improvement,
Renders weak oppre ession's rod;
Every sign aud every movement
Brings us near0r tru til and God.

EXCITING SCENE. - An insane man named
John B. Sherwood, entered a barber Shop IN
Albany on Friday last, and requested the
proprietor to cut his head of and then braid
his hair with diamonds. BE wanted to fight
duel with any man present, using razoTs for
weapons, the first one who lost his bowels to
have the other one's pocket book. He also
agreed to eat an OK and blow Hail Columbia
on the horns while swallowing him, provided
one of the BARRIERS would eat the looking
glass All these offers were very politely de.
cllned. Sherwood then drew a revolver and
offered to .'shoOt BARRIERS at twenty cents a
string" As the shop was full of customers.
the drawing ct the revolver created first
class panic among the occupants, who scat
tered in all directions. He fred the pistol.
when one of the BARRIERS rushed in and see
cured the maniac. Mr. S. is reported to be
man of wealth and character, and resides
at Fort Edward.

Benefits Offer to the oonfederaov.

There will shortly be published record
of the proceedings of the secret sessions of
the Confederate Congress. This interesting
publication, says the New York sNetos, Will
reveal the fact, beyond all dispute, that James
Gordon Bennett sent an agent to the Confsd
crate Government offering to sell the influence
of the New York Herald to the Confederacy.
and to advocate the secession movement, for
the sum of ESQ, 600 in gold, to be paid in
England. This offer was duly considered
and rejected, upon the grounds: first that
the New York Herald had no influences, and
could not be of service to the Confederacy;
and, secondly, that, judging from Benefits
antecedents and known character, he would
not keep faith with them, but would be false
to his bargain at the first opportunity that
promised a reward for his treachcry.
