A WAR ANECDOTE.

to pass that, one Of the rebel drummersL who was
on account of his conduct not particular favorite
of Colonel Seymour, of the Sixth Louisiana Regi-
ment, beat the wrong call The "old man, who,
from his long military career was perfectly at
home in all matters of camp Life, rushed ont of his
tent and meeting what he supposed to be the ras-
|caDy drummer, at once went to work to punish
him ; and having done so, he returned to ,Mstent,
where he found his orderly, Fred "a German youth,
of quite genteel manners, sitting before the FIRE
with broad smile upon his countenanee, evident
ly suppressing outright laughter. - .,,,e ztf

The colonel now BECAME enaged at Fred, for
not apprsing him of his mistake in time, and came
near chastising the Teutonic, but his good nature
and heart now resumed their sway, and forth he
vidual, to make reparation. On turning the Sc
cond avenue, he metthe object of his search, grasp
ed him by the hand, apologised in the most sincere
manner, and, the weather being cold, invited him
up to his tent, and treated him to an appletOddy.
The appeased individual departed, and Fred, was
again seen smiling and snickering at the fire. This
time the colonel waxed warm, and demanded per-
emptorily to be informed of the cause of such IN
becoming behavior and suspicious meriment ,Hhen

REACTION. Richmond gentleman Of great
integrity and intelligence, who has recently visited
the North, assures the Times Of that city that the
indications of healthy re-acionary sentiment are
already manifest among the business men and
politicians of the North, and that this re-acionay
feeling accepts the Sherman bill as fnaity, and
is unanimous IN condemnation Of any atfempts
looking to confscation. The Times adds: go,
There is still 80 much uncharitableness at the
North towards the South, that the masses en-. rse
the declarations of Sherman and Wade, that this
is the last attempt at reconstruction which viii be
made. They profess, almost to 9 man, to depre..
cate and denounce the confscaton measures OF
Sumner and Butler, and say that, with the en-
forcement of the Sherman bill, and the admission
of the Southern States under its provisions there
question. Our informant, whose ability as o fnan-
cier entities his opinions to great weight believes
that capital will, at no distant day, flow into Vr
ginia and the other States in great abundanoe.-
He was astonished and gatifed beyond measure
at the improved temper Of the more influential
and respectable men Of the North, and believes
that by wise and judicious action, the reaction
against the radical party Will ultimately set in with
great force. Just now, however, all parties, ex-
cept the destructionists1 profess to regard the
Sherman Act as "a inaity." ....e rssgaai
