q Railroad Acquaintance.

A Western railroad conductor tells the
following capital hit, of which the Times, Of
Cincinnati, makes a note
One day last week, said he, there
came on board Of the cars, from one of the
up-country stations very pretty, genteel
young lady, on her way to this city. She
was alone; so waited upon her 60 a good
seat and made her a. comfortable as posi-
BILE 1t was a few minutes before the start
ing hour and she was SO agreeable and
laxative that fingered and we had pleas
ant chat
"Afterward when the collecting tickets,
she detained me again an instant, and gave
me some fine peaches, which she said came
from her friends orchard in the country
and really L began to think that l had not
had so charming passenger for many a day.
Well, We arrived at the depot and then
I attended her to the carriage, handed up
her carpetbag, and, after all, what do you
think she said
Now We thought, Of course, that the
young lady would say very politely: Thank
you. Sir, smile like a clean Of sunshine, the
carriage roll Of, and cur friend John Van
Dusen, the gentemanly conductor, would
bow an adieu, and, with sigh, turn away
and forget the matter, ard we stated that as
our natural supposirion.
No" said the conductor, " she did no
such thing; but just as her foot was on the
step, she turned, and with a sort Of look
cant describe, observed:
You must consider shis sir merely a car
acquaintance. You must not expect TO be
recognized if we meet any where else "
John drew long breath
What did yOu say 2 we asked.
Why, / thought this rather uncivil, to
say the least, so / replied very quickly:
- Certainly not madam. ! was just going
to remark that you must not feel sighted if
unnodeed by me anywhere, except On the
cars for really, we conductors have to be
very careful about our acquaintance
land the lady ?? said we.
She looked quite silly as she drove of, -
replied John
A keenor response to an example of
" sno5ism could not have been made, nor
better deserved.

Plenty Of Money.

A few days since as the train was going
south on tie Mississippi Central Railroad,
twenty miles from jackson, at a certain sta
ton which does not present a magnificent
appearance, some passengers, Of both sex,
after making some preliminary remarks in
regard to the town, and the taste with which
it was built, combined with the surrounding
scenery agreeable to their ironieal Ian
guage) which nature had bordered the out
skirts Of this beautiful and healthy location.
The works Of nature and the art Of man
seemed to be diverged to such dazzling focus
that it caused the already painted cheeks Of
one Of our female heroes to redden with
seeming delight, which compelled her to ez-
press a desire to live in our town. Perhaps
she thought if she were situated as she
could wish, amidst the domes and spires of
our Uicos, away from the busy hum that Is
daily disturbing the peace of her own
crowded city, Bolivar; and while these things
seemed to have been weighed in the intel
lectual Scales Of those SeSe aestinao passen-
gengers, one member Ga piece Of female per
fection) rolled forth the gratifying expires
sion, in tones Of female eioquence, that she
had money enough to buy the town. Another
one Of the female members seemed to re-
ceive great consolation to know that her
travelling friend was so well supplied with
greenbacks. Besides, she said, that she had
five cents, which l suppose she thought
would play its part il purchasing location
in the newly discovered but much admired
village The gents that were the escorts of
those female dignitaIies, did not seem to
have the oyerp plug OF funds which fortune
seemed to have placed in the possession of
those dt0o avis But the two men Gid not
seem to apprehend but little danger, as they
manifested by their spasmodic commissions,
between laugh and a grin. They seemed
to be at ease as to the coming pleasures, be-
lieving that they would receive their portion,
which seemed to me would be the portion
of a champion favorite, as they appeared to
be Of those dl0o GUiS who seemed to com
mand the capital to put through to success
ful perfection ali their desires It was
thought by the writer that if Esq R. had
have known how able and anxious those
sons and daughters of fortune were to buy
a location in his village, trade perhaps
would have ensued Immediately. But the
old Esq. did not know that those who were
onerata aoro were on the train, and 1 sup
pose that those ladies had forgotten that any
one but they and escort were on the train
and l hope after reading this short eulogy
and hyperbolical epistIe, formed out Of the
material of their own production, that they
will be more careful how they talk before
country people, more especially girl in de-
fence of her Post Office Village

DREADFUL CRmE.-A few days ago a
dreadful crime was perpetrated upon a lady
by her two STEP daughters The horrid af-
fair transpired in the 9th civil district of
Roane county, East Tennessee. The Kings
ton East Tennesseean, a reliable paper, gives
the following account Of this more than in
human and bloody deed
1t appears that q Mrs Hicks and her two
step~daughters, named respectively Mary
and Kezia, had for some time lived unpleas-
antly together, when the two daughters de-
termined t. put her out Of the way Ac-
cOrdingly, with murdeTOus intent they for
cibly conveyed their unfortunate victim to
the smoke house near by, and commenced a
series Of tOrtures that even the veriest saw
age would have shrunk from and grown
/ hideOus at-such was the enOrmity of their
harbarity and wickedness. They first at
tempted 90 strange their victim to death.
but failing in that, the fsnds In human shape
bethought themselves of a more refined. as
well as expeditions mode Of ACCOMPLISHING
their object, which was to pour melted lead
/ into the ear Of their helpless victim, and
then to make assurance double sure, these
devoted daughters struck the PROSTATE and

I an axe.
Surprising the old lady dead or dying

/ Some of the neighbors soon after, coming

still at large, having secreted themselves SO
as to prevent the officers Of the law from ar.

Confederate Numbers in the War.

An abstract Of the returns of the Confed-
crate armies show that the greatest number
Of soldiers of ali arms and ranks on the rolls
at any one time was $50 900; the greatest
number present for duty at any one time
was 100000, and then only for brief peri
cd, besides a few thousands rangers. At
only three periods did Lees army number
100, 900 present for duty. When McClelland
with l47 900 men feared to advance towards
Manassas, supposing the enemy had 10000
men, their actual force was less than 10000.
When McCleIland reached the peninsula
and was held in check at Yorktown by
Magruder with what he supposed to be the
whole rebel army, Magruder had barely 49,,
000 When he reached the ChickahOminy
with over 100000 men, and feared to advance
because he estimated the enemys force at
over 100000, they had but 10000, which
was increased in May to 67,0J0 When
Meade reached RappahannOck, after Ge-tys-
burg, with 10000 men, Lee had but Is 600
This was when Halleck was directing oper-
atoms, and he forbade the offensive. In
October, when Meade had 10000 and Lee
45 600 Meade was driven back within sight
| of Washington.
There are many other figures in these re
| turns which Will be found more interesting,
historically, than gratifying, to northern
military pride. In spite Of prepOnderance
of numbers the COnfederates generally
managed to be strongest at the point of at
| tack. The Federal triumph was not achieved
/ by military genius in the commanders, but
! by sledge hammer policy and most lavish
sacrifice of the men and by an expenditure
/ Of means as if the national resources had
no limit

Tba white men had been found guilty OF

had been unlocked, after which the ropes

A short time before the prisoners started |
for Nashville the key of the lock securing
the irons was found missing, and a new one
