LERrER FROM GEN. JOSEPH e. JouN-
sToN.-Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, Of the
late Confederate army, publishes in the
Selma (Ala.) Gazette letter Of five col
umns correcting certain statements con-
taincd in Cookies Life of Stonewall Jack
son, and correcting sundry errors in its
report of events at and after the first bat
tie of Bull Rum He says that the reason
why the Federal army was not pursued
after that battle by the victorious Con-
federate cavalry, was that tho cavalry (of
which they had but a small force) was
driven back by the strong rear guard of
the United States army. and that it
would have been utter madness to rush
upon the Notifications on the Virginia
side of the Potomac, which were strong
and heavily armed, especially as river II
mile wide would have still interviewed be-
tween them and the capital, which they
had no means of crossing. Gen. john
ston says the victory of Bull Run saved
the Confcderacy, which was all it could
reasonably have been expected to do
Most Of the Confederate troops regarded
it as deciding the whole question and end
ing the war; and thousands of them left
the army and went home. The Federal
army, he says, was 'less disorganizcd by
defeat than the Confederate army by its
triumph"

A ToUGu Snow SroRY.-A rather tough
warn is in circulation in Wayne county,
Indiana, with regard to the extraordinary
depth of the snow in those parts. An old
farmer, living in the nothern part OF the
town Of fSodus. went to the woods after q
load ofwood; but owing to the depth OF
the snow, he was unable to find his wood,
and concluded to g. back to the house,
procure shovel, and shovel it out. SO,
tyine his horses securely to what he sup
posed was strong bush, he went after
the shovel. Arriving at the house, he was
taken suddenly ill, and for nearly week
his reason was dethroncd and his life nearly
despaired Of In the meantime, our great
sstbaw" was in progress, and the snow was
fast disappearing. AT the end OF a week
the old gentleman began to mend, and. as
reason assumed her sway, his first inquiry
was for his team; but, in the excitement
attendant upon his severe illness, no one
had thought of them. Several OF the he
neirbbors now started for the woods to
search for the poor old mans horses. Ar
irving at the woods no team could be
found, until one of the men, casting his
eyes upward, beheld the horses and sleigh
securely lodg ged in the top of huge maple!
The horses were quietly browsing the buds
from the tree-top, and (as our informant
says) appeared to be "all right, except
thai they were little gaunt!"

Mrs. BLUE.-Mrs. Blue is an unhappy
woman. Life to her is barren desert,
containing nothing but sands Of unhappi-
ness. Out of little troubles she forms
mountains of evils; and every moment
of happiness is considered forerunner of
some great calamity. / have seen her go
into Mysteries over o bleeding nose, and
cry tor hours over a cut finger, fearing it
would produce the lockjaw. If Blue at
tempts joke she thinks him intoxicated;
and forthwith bemoans the manhood of
her husband and breaches unto him a
sermon Of morals, interlarded with her
own hardships and trials. Her friends
have ceased TO visit her, leaving her to
brood over troubles alone and undisturbed.
Poor Mrs. Blue! pity her, but her hus-
band more. Finding no peace at home,
he spends his time Oh the corners or in
the grocery till midnight, when he wends
his way homeward and creeps ignomini-
ously into the house, after having gone
through the necessary preparations OF
pulling off his boots, before he entered, SO
as not to awake Mrs. Blue
Now, thore are good many Mrs. Blues
in this land Of ours. who 50 through life
a dissatisfied, miserable, and despsed
crowd. And, in their eager grasp after
the thistlcs Of life, they never observe or
think of the beautiful flowers of happiness
that grow beneath the thistle's shade.
The sweet smilo of innocent childhood
and the approving words of old age are
unknown to them. They shave set their
lives upon cast" and think they s'must
stand the hazard of the die" The cast is
the suppression of all that is good and
noble in their nature, and the die is life
of misery and unmourned death.

can youth with such illustrious examples
before them ought to cultivate as one of
the necessares of life.
Mrs. O'Lanus has impressed this noble
preceptSupen our Thelnistocles.
When she accuses him of broken win
dow, sticking. pins wrong way up IN the
chair cushions, or other peecadillos, she
tells him to own up, and then she Will not

precept Or appreciation of the inducement
of leniency is altogether clear
For instance, he frankly owned UP when
accused of breaking the nose of his moth
err, favorite pitcher, when subsequently
Eliza Jane confessed that she did it.
When called upon tor:an explanation,
Master Thenistocles fell back upon his
mothers assurance that she wouldn't lick
him when he owned up.

to virtue, but it is as well to 10 1T under

A QUEER W!LL.-We have heard of a
rather queer will which was lately ad-
mitted to probate in one of the counties
bordering on the upper Cumberland. A
wealthy old citizen had two sons, one of
whom was in the Federal army, and the
other in the Rebel ranks. During the
early part of the war, the old gentleman
was taken suddenly i'll, and wishing to
divide his property equally between his
two sons, bequeathed to Henry, (the Fed
eral soldierD all his slave property, EN-.
bracing about fifty negroes, and to Thom-
as, (the boy in gray,) his entire landed
estate. He died, and thus the will stands.
Both brothers lived to return from tho
war; and the gallant soldier Of the LOST
Cause being perfectly satisfied that slave
ry was no more, generously divided tho
lands with his brother, and both are liv-
ing happily together, and are bitterly op-
posed to the Radical programme.-Nash>

Girls at Home.

There are two kinds of girls one is the
kind that appears best abroad, the girls
that are good for parties, rides, visits,
balls. Sc, and whose chief delight is in
such things the, other is the kind that ap-
pears best at home, the girls that are useful
and cheerful in the dining-room, the sick
room, and all the precints OF home. They
differ widely IN character. One is often
torment at home the other is a blessing
One is moth, consuming everything about
her; the other is a sunbeam, inspiring life
and gladness all along her pathway.
Now, it does not necessarily follow that
there shall be two such classes of girls
The right education will modify both a
little, and unite their characters in one
Girls are not made altogether fer home,
any more than boys are. Society would be
ofbut little worth without women. The first
pleasure and duty of every woman should
be at home; her next should relate to the
refinement and well-being of society. But
in older that she may benefit and adorne
home. Hence, every girl, rich and poor
alike, should be early and well instructed
in all the duties and cares of home From
Tue cellar W Ille SillSI, SIe ollOulu hilOW
all that is to be done. From the kitchen
to the parlor she should be complete mis-
tress. All the interests of home should be
as familiar to her as household words
Neither idleness, folly nor Indifference
should prevent her from engaging heartily
in all the concerns of home life. This will
be to her a school more valuable than a
seminary or the ladies' college.
1t behooves mothers, therefore, to feel
that they are teachers Of the first dignity
in position.
Their daughters will be much what they
make them. The home education will lay
the true foundation of character. 1t will
fix the true principles of life i'm the young
girls mind. 1t will give her an insight
into domestic duties and teach her that to
be useful is one great end Of life. Book
education can easily follow y good home
training; but good home training is not
apt to follow the education OF the schools.
Girls, well taught at home, ire the girls
that appear well everywhere. Give us
the we'll bred girls, and we shall have no
need OF any other. They will make the
true women Talley Farmer.

BRICK PoMERoy TO THE FREEDMEN
"Brick" Pomeroy happening to be pre-
sent at a mass meeting of the colored
people of Macon, Georgia, addressed them
as follows:
1" My fricnds-I call you friends, though
am from Northern country, many
miles from here. I know none of you,
and never expect to sec any of you again.
l rise before you simply as a plain man,
wishing equal and exact justice to all. |
shall speak in plain language, and shall
use no big words. have come from my
Northern home to see for myself the con-
dition of the black man, and the cond-
ton Of the white man. You have to work
now; you have been given the privilege
of citizenship, but you have to work now.
You commenced your elevation from q
mighty low down point; You have to make
friends of somebody; your best friends
are those who do the NEST for you, and
who charge the least for it-those who
urge you to honesty, industry and frugal
ity. You have much to do. You have
been brought up to labor and ignorance !;
you have your school-houses to build, your
homes to provide, your Iahiiiies " 'eeu
and clothe, your children to raise' your
parents to protect and bury, ana your
little bitsy' children to raise. NOW slay a
in the country where you are known; we
don't want you in the North; we have
plenty of labor there. There arc hun
ddreds there who care nothing for you,
only to make dollar or ten bits out Of
you Why the New England negroes
have no more chance for office from the
white people than have of curling my
hair as yours is curled; your friends are
in the South, rot in the North.
Why where live. the ice on the Mis-
sissippi is two feet thick-here it is warm
and genial; there the peoples hearts are
as cold as the climate; they get warm
only when they want your votes; Dut

CONFERENCE BETWEEN THE MILITARY
AND CIVIL AUTuoRITIEs.-The Charles
ton Courier speaks as follows Of this meet
ing:
In compliance with his request, Major
General Sckles, commanding this military
district, was met yesterday by Governors
Worth, of North Carolina, and Orr, of
this State, for the purpose Of having q
free conference upon the preliminary de-
tails of reorganization under the recon
struction bills The interview was, we
understand, mutually agreeable and salts
factory. Amongst the results attained,
we may mention the following:
The details of registration will be i'm
mcdiately prepared by direction of Gen.
Sickles, and put into operation rs soon as
persons can be found to act in the capaci-
ty of registers who are qualified under
the provisions of the supplemental bill to
do so.
No elections for municipal or State Off
GERS will be held in either of the States
until the Conventions which are to be
called shall have met and adopted new
Constitutions. No civil officer will be
removed who faithfully discharges his
duties.
Whenever vacancies occur by reason OF
the expiration Of the tenure of office, by
death, resignation or otherwise, they will
be filled by appointments, to be made by
the Governors of these States, if the Off
GERS are of the character elected by the
General Assemblies, unless special reasons
to the contrary should arise, or by the
Commanding General, if they are of the
class elected by popular suffrage.

PERPETUAL MorIoy-A new style of
watch has been invented in France, which
never needs winding up, and therefore
looks very much like perpetual motion.
We saw saw sample of it, lately bought
in Paris by one Of our friends. 1t was in
q hunting case, and on examining it we
found that the closing of the case after
looking at the time, performed the func-
tion of winding up in an almost imper-
ccptible manner 1t was stated to run a
month without interruption, and all that
was necessary to keep it always going
was to see at least once month what
time it was.
