A DEFECTIVE MEMoaY.-An am
using anecdote is told of we'll
known French General who played
conspicuous part in a cavalry
charge. This gallant warrior had
been severely wounded on that oc-
scasion, having received sabre cut
on the head and bullet in his left
thigh. Such an allowance might
have satisfied man of quiet tastes,
but was far from sufficient for the
fre-eating General. In relating
the charge, which he did at every
dinner party, he was in the habit
Of throwing in a half dozen bay
onet thrnsts and couple of stray
splinters from shell, and he inva-
riably appealed for confederation
of his narrative to an aid-de-camp,
who had ridden by his side.
On one occasion, having imbibed
more than his usual allowance, he
drew a more than usually startling
picture of his riddled and perfor-
ated condition. A cannon ball had
killed bis horse, q dozen sabres had
descended at once on his head, a
couple OF lanees had passed through
each Of his arms, and all the bull
lets and bayonets Of Germany
seemed to have given each other a
rendezvous in his body. "You
rememher it we'll, don't your" he
addsd, turning to bis aid-de-camp.
Tbs well-tyained subaltern had
suffered long in silence. The bay.
oneta, bullets, lapces, ETC., he had
got used TO BY long practice, but
that broke the cameI's back. "No
general, I don't remember it. How
could you e(knect me to? You

cannon ball that killed your horse

The New Movement.

As the New Movement in this Congressional
District is understood from the publications
upon the subject it would appear that the
policy advocated is not new, but an old one,
revived by new parties
About six years ago Gen. Longstreet visited
Washington was sent for by Gen. Grant, and
when be answered the invitation, met with a
most hattering reception, and had a most salts
factory conversation with him. Upon his re-
turn to the South there Was published a letter
of his urging the people OF the South to sup
port Gen. Grant, and assigning therefor, as
we'll as | can remember them, exactly the same
arguments as are advanced to-day. 1t stated,
that after the surrender Of its armies in the
field, the South was weak and helpless, and en-
compassed by difficulties that Gen. Grant Was
powerful, and that be had by words and acts
expressed his willingness to assist them and
build them up, if in return they would give
him their cordial support, &c. This letter was
received, it may be said with scorD and co.,
tempt Now if it be deemed, at this time, adj
visable to support Gen. Grants admlnlstra-
ton for the reasons assigned, how much more
advantageous would it have been to have done
so at the time Gen. LoDgstreet advised the
people of the South to it, when the States had
not been restored to their rights, but existed
only as military Districts.
If then, the Conservatives of this Congress

Grant policy, their first act should be to make

We quite agree with the New York Herald
that this is the time for Northern capitalists
to do something for the country in the way OF
promoting useful industry. Money is abund-
ant and cheap in New York, says the Lynch
burg VirgiDian, only because Of its scarcity
elsewhere, and the general prostration of bust
ness superinduced thereby. If the South and
West were prosperous there would be de-
mand for the manufactured articles OF the
North, and the looms and other Industries
there would be.abe to employ this capital that
now goes begging. But We need capital,
money, and the fact that it is now scarce and
dear in the South--commanding readily ten
per cent, bank rates, with little business do
ing, while it can be had 10 New York at from
three to five per cent, is the most significant
commentary that could be presented of the dit
ference 10 the condition Of the respective sec
tons.
