A Ghost Story.

They have Ghost, or something in Al
bemarle, which appears to be decidedly a
''ruln 'un." His ghostship is impervious to
minnies, pistol balls, and such, and regards
them no more than if they were fred into the
thin air, instead Of at his esprit majesty"
The theatre of his operations is the dwelling
house Of Dir John S. Moon, a prominent
citizen, living near Scottsville, and the story
goes that the Ghost has visited the premises
for upwards Of thirty consecutive nights, up
to last Wednesday, the latest accounts we
have from him. The house has been under
a strong armed guard for the most Of this
time, and yet the ghost eludes them, and
passes into the building either through the
door, or the windows as may suit his fancy.
AS we have stated, it regards no bullets,
having been repeatedly fred at without ef-
feet, with the muzzles of the guns almost
touching its breast Amid storm of balls
the ghost walks about as unconcernodly as if
there were no other person beside himself in
the world, visits all parts Of the house, and
when he is satisfied, walks away. His ghost
ship, it appears, is Tot ABOVE handling car
nal weapons, for on Monday or Tuesday
night Of last week, Miss Tompkins, an III
mate Of the house, fred twice at him with a
pistol, and the fire was returned Miss T.,
being struck in the forehead with the bali
from his weapon, but not much hurt. His
ghostship has been seen by numbers beside
Mr.. Moon and his family, nearly all of whom
have had shot 1T him, but Intellectually. -
He is described as large man well-dressea
and black. Cur last bulletin from the scene
Of the peramhulations Of this visitor from
the spirit land was up to Wednesday night.
The neighborhood was then in a high state
Of excitement and the house Of Mr.. Moon
was guarded inside and out by dozen or
more armed men who had determined to
capture the ghost at all hazards. Whether
they have succeeded we are not prepared to
say. -Lgach5u9q Nens.

ANoyel and perhaps startling Enterprise.

ANOscI anu VOIH0pS StaitIifS 11HSVA pIiSO'
It is reported that corps Of Southern
men, picked from the most gallant of the
Southern army, and fortified by their war
and tante-war regulations, have been organ
lied for the purpose of making true expo
sition Of the conduct Of the officers of the
Southern army during the war, of the
strength Of the Southern army for each
quarter Of the absentee system, with ex-
posures of favoritism of a very degrading
nature to certain Generals, of the number
and some of the names Of the officers who
held prominent b-proof positions, both
IN tie field and at other places; OF the
strength of different regiments, not much
hurt by war, but, wofully hurt by absentee
ism from the first year to the last month of
the war Of the present strength Of the
braggarts of certain Southern localities, IN
some instances numbering five hundred to
regiment, which in the war never averaged
three hundred, and at the close not one hum
dred, and sometimes not fifty, when COM
parati4ely few were either killed or wound
ed, owing to absenteeism. The principal
part of the volume will be devoted to an ex-
position of the frauds in the Quartermas-
ters' and Commissary Departments, through
out the army, as far as can be ascertained,
with the names Of defaulting and otherwise
cheating officials, without special reference
to already known records, the evidence in
all cases not established by Confederate
courts martial being given in full, in the
form Of statements Of detectives. secret po-
lice, and other officers employed by the gov
eminent, but whoseyeports have never been
even intimated to the parties interested. In
this enterprise several generals have enlisted,
feeling the necessity of showing up great
deal OF. the pretentiousTan now prevailing
among young men, supposed to have been
gallant Confederates," and who impose
upon even their most intimate acquaintan-
ces, their fathers, mothers, and friends with
great many stories Of their army loyalty
and general gallantry, and who are believed
to be shining lights Of Southern chivalry.-
The getters up Of this book are thorough
rebels, but they are going into the business
in most unmerciful manner, and all flashy
officers. who Dragged more than fought, who
won popularity by diplomacy, and laurols
~ accident, and especially those who won
fortunes by stealing, say nothing Of the up
starts who neither received nor exposed
themselves to wounds, but who still claim
the honor of having been in the Southern
army, SsIn the thickest of the war;" must
lock out for scorching. This will be The
first really reliable history of the war;"

The Democratic Emblem SIZE RoosteE11i
81 A. correspondent Of the 1Qbio,otNaaasale a
inquiries why the, Rooster is. used by tbs
Democracy as an emblem of victory That
paper replies: 10 ''''ii i'S' ''''A'
because the game Rooster is the gamest
bird. when encroached upon by his fellows,
that ever existed; and the Democracy is the
gamest party that ever voted at an election
or resented oppression. Both the party and
its emblem, when they go into the fight,
make it a matter Of life or death Both
may be whipped, but not conquered, for
giving up, when once in the fight, is a word
unknown to the practice Of the Rooster and
is not found in the Democratic vocabulary"
The following historica s5Cdent induced
the adoption of the emblem -. xtc,z
During the war of ISL the sfi nee
on Lake Champlain was att%6ed by the
American feet under Commoaaye McDo-
nough The feet of McDonough, much in
feror to that of the English, suffered terri
bly, in the first part Of the battle,3 AT the
moment when it<was ragingf fiji Ahe
heaviest fire of the enemy wv seded
against thelaagsHif Mcbsa his
men drivdn eQns lIgusss by 5e Arce
e sannenadsss2 2 r. +;
which seemed sas s tor 4 not
only to the - soul soul
struck a ehiekap coop and ~ to pie
ces, klllgiugsfit CONTAINED ~ moment
before, ssae only a game Rooster, whose
battered comb bore the marks Of many a
deaahngHy Flying upon the bulwarks of
NeIEepngh's flagship. the noble bird, un-
diadnaed by the noise and confusion and car
~ saround him, with clarion voice rang
o. his notes Of defiance and victory.
Sailors are ever superstitioys, and when,
in the pause of the thunder of the enemy's
cannon, they heard the shril ''cock adoodle-
doo," Of the undaunted bird, they gathered
new courage, and repairing again to their
guns, returned anew the fire of the enemy,
cheered by the loud crow of the brave en-
blem of the Democracy, until the battle
ended and McDonough, on Lake Champlain,
like the Democracy in Ohio and Pennsylva-
MIA was victorious over the enemies of the
country, .as
Every naval historian makes mention Of
the fact, and history says that the bravery
shown on that occasion by the Rooster was
the cause Of the victory, by the renewed
courage of it gave the sailors in Melon
ough's fleet .~
From that day to this, in political con-
tests, the Rooster has been the Democratic
emblem Of victory, ana when it is seen, in
the act Of sending forth its ''oock--a-doodle-
doo," at the head Of Democratic newspa-
per, it is right to say the country is safe,
for the victory is with the Democracy.
