debating letters to their friends at home,
and forming a strong comparison to the
grievOusly wounded on tho left side, for
they were able to discuss different topics
with 1.-THE medical attendants and nurses.
As l left the church, perceived by the
dim glimmer of patrol lantern an old
French soldier, who, as l passed out, gave
me the military salute. 1 saw through the
open door of stable in which the sang ruin
airy operations were performed by the mill
tary surgeons that the nurses were hard at
work cleaning the operating table and floor
from pools OF blood. The amputed limbs were
gathered together and buried in the church
yard: The operators had laid aside their
long black oilskin aprons and put their uni
forms on over their red shirts. After their
arduous and trying task they sat down in
the dark cool street smoking their cigars
and dividing their wine rations with those
who had undergone the operations. l re-
turned to the bivouac of my corps, but so
fearful had been the sights had witnessed
that paused many times on my way to ask
myself if what l had seen was really true,
or if the whole had not been some dream,
some horrid nightmare, such as would
affect us at times. But no; on my arrival
l read the chronicle of the army of the
south and found, alas that all was stern
rfality, and that had yet to be Injured to
all the horrors of war.

GERMAN ARMY BREAD.-A Hamburg cor
respondent of the London News writes:

respondent of the London News writes:
From the experience gained in the war of
1866 thorough reform of the commissariat
department has taken place in the German
armies. One of the principal causes of the
complaint was that the loaves of bread sup
piled to the soldiers would not keep long,
but became not only stale, but widowed in
a few days. The usual commissariat bread
is. therefore, no longer served ont to the
troops, but has been replaced By species
of biscuit made of two parts of wheat -four
and one part of rye, and not much harder
to bite than rilsis while. like them, it is
easily soluble in wine, coffee, beer. water, or
any other liquid at hand. 1t has also the
advantage of being easily and quickly dis
tributed to the men, and is more portable
than commissariat bread, ratons Of which
would only become unpleasantly hard and
dry in few hours. while the soldiers can
conveniently carry a considerable number
OF the biscuits in their linen pouches or
wallets, and infinitely prefer them to the old
black bread of former wars. The milers
and bakers of this city are among the con-
tractors for this sort of food for the army,
and every morning largo special goods
trains filed with these new rusk biscuits
are sent off from the railway station in diff
ferent directions

Springs, or Fremont, thence to To

dav. Our survey shows that we
have the shortest line, which is an
important item, and from Ashland
west to Toledo We have an unbrok-
en- level country. with a grade vary
ing from dead level" to seven feet
to the mile-and no ravines, streams

makes it unequaled by any east and

proposed road will pass through
more first class business towns than
anv other road in the State, so that
the matter sums up about as fol
lows:-The shortest line, the best
rout over which to build a road, and
through as good an agricultural
country as there is in the State, all
very desirable for railroad building.
We cannot expect, however, that
any company viii build road with
out work and exertion on our part.
The people at Canton, Wooster, and
Ashland, are alive to their interest,

inion we shall succeed. Y.

A "Nigger" Story.-One Of our Hoaglin
township Democratic neighbors, who has had
no peace of mind since the passage of the 10Th
Amendment, has been the victim of an anus
ing optical delusion. Gne night last week a
gentleman applied for nights lodging while
our Democratic friend was nursing his wrath
and muling like babe with the colo, over the
passage of the new amendment. His mind
was filed with visions of "Niggers" and
"Nigger outrages." Every story of "Nigger"
brutality, of which he had heard or read,
passed like a panorama before his diseased and
corrupted vision. He put his strange guest to
bed, under the firm belief that he was col
ored gentleman, "just from Carolina" The
gentleman had not remained in the loft a
great length of time before he found that the
accommodations afforded werenot equal to the
requirements. He proceeded to don his ap-
parel for the purpose ofseeking such accommo-
dations as the case demanded. Our Democratic
friends ears caught the sound from above, and
he was at once seized with tho conviction that
a 'Nigger outrage" was about to be perpetra-
/ ted. He first bolted the door leading to the
chamber; a boy was placed at the bell-rope,
where he rung out the alarm; the family
shouted murder; the dogs howled and gnashed
their teeth; and altogether the noise was most
hideous. The neighbors were aroused and
came from every direction. After half dozen
| or more had arrived, council of war was
held. The landlord was sure that there was o
tNigger' in the loft bent on murder and rapine.
The cid gun was brought down and loaded;the
butcher-knife was brought out; the axes, tho
pitchforks, the shoyels and every movable in
strument Of farm industry with sharp edge
was brought into requisition. All ready for q
desperate resistance, the door was slowly and
carefully unbarrej, when the strange guest
convulsed with laughter, walked forth-ht
scas a aclite man. Understanding the fears Of
the Democracy, and overhearing the converse.
ton below, he had divined tho cause of the
alarm. After giving his Democratic friends
some wholesome advice, he departed with one
of the ''rescuere, under whose roof he enjoyed
a peaceful and pleasant rest. All that il
necessary to get up fight in the Waugh neigf
borhood, is to mention the 'Nigger outrage
