An Amusing Incident of the Late
 War,

When the Confederate army of North. ern Virginia, under Gen. Jos. K John. ston, was stationed at Centreville. just af. tor the first battle of Manassas, the orders in regard to leaves or furloughs were posi- tive. None were to be granted without a surgeons certificate of disability.
 Major T. c. Rhett, now the able Super in.endent and secretary of the Mechanics and Agricultural Fai, Association of Lou isisna was acting in the dual capacity of adjutant general and chief of staff; his duties were consequently very arduous and he experienced no little annoyance from persistent applications for leave. One mans mother was i'll, another's father was dying, and so on ad infuiium. Ear y one morning while the Major was i'm mersed in the onerous duties of his office, soldier entered and petitioned with streaming eyes for leave. saying his wife and seven children were down with yel low fever in New Orleans. and were dy- ing. He was informed the orders were positive, and no furloughs could be grant ed. Scarcely had he departed with 6 mein of hopeless dejection, when another soldier entered. looking, if anything more woebegone than the other; he had "a wife and five children dying, and couldn't he have furlough p Not enough. my man, no. enough" said the Major, "there was man just ahead of you, with wife and seven children, all dying" The fel- low looked abashed for a moment, but soon recovering his self possession, burst into laugh, exclaiming, as be turned to leave, "You got me there, Major-you got me there!"'

 ~ During the recent war. an Eng, fshman and an Irishman belonging to the --ih regiment, when going into the battle of Antietam agreed that if either were wounded the other would immediate y convey him to tie hospital, and see tha' he was properly cared for. Soon after the battle commenced the Englishman Was struck in the leg by minnie ball, and he called out to Pat that he was Init in the leg" The faithful Irishman at once shouldered his friend and started for the hospital. Before he had proceeded far, the head of the unfortunate Englishmau was carried away by shell. Of this fac. Pat was ignorant, and he kept on his way to the hospital. His colonel, seeing the condition of the Englishman, rode up to Pat and informed him that he need noI carry of dead men-that his friend had lost his head. Upon this the dismayed Irishman dropped his burden, and ex- claimed, in tones of disgust "The lying devil, he tould nc, twas his leg"

New York World on Mr. Stanbery,

The New York World. of late date. contained an article declaring that the Hon. Henry Staubery. though an able 'lawer. is not statesman, and urging him to resign his position in the cabinet. The World says:
 1t is not mere logic. however vigorous and. unanswerable. that constitutes states msnship. but the ability to extract the most good and exclude tho most evil from any given situation. Is the overbcaring rigor of Congress greater or less in conse quence of MT. Stsnbery's manifestations 2 We suppose nobody questions that it is greater. That statesman should have forescen this consequence $ implied in the very meaning of the word;a wise fore. cast of the future being the chief attribute of statssmanship
 The July meeting of Congress was 60 obvious. almost 90 necessary conse- queuce of Nr. Stanbery's opinions, that we pointed it out immediately on the pub lication of his opinion, and tho whole country inferred it from his second. The evils which were not law, he provoked Congress to make so Commanders who were restrained by doubts before, had their doubts all removed by the new act of Congress, which Mir. Stanbery occa- stoned. He is no statesman if he did this unwitingly; still less statesman if he brought it about by design. It was bet ter for the South that the law should have remained doubtful in all these points in which Congress has changed it. Ii Mr. Stanbery had acted in the spirit of q statesman he would have given the Presi dent orally and privately his opinion of tho law, and have advised him to make in May the change of commanders which he has deferred till late in August If the President had put Gen. Thomas ip Gen. Sheridan's place in June, and replaced Gen Sickles by pronounced Republican of natural moderation of character, there would have been no meeting of Congress. and the unrelieved ambiguity of the origi- nal law would have been favorable to the South during he progress of reconstruc tion, and have been convenient justi6 cat;on of fha Canorola affarunrd Mr Stanbery having neither strengthened the President nor benefited tho South. there is no reason why any well wisher of the country should deprecate his resignation

which for twenty years made dynasties,
