The Grasshopper Among the An
clients.

The grasshopper, although just now
under the ban of public displeasure,
is a classical insect of ilustrious histo-
ry. 1t was regarded by the ancients
as sacred to the muses., and kind of
rural deity. Like the deities of Ho-
mer, it was supposed to be free from
blood. Virgil declares that it "feeds
on dew" but the farmers of Kansas
have reason to dissent from that
opinion. Theocritus speaks with
affectionate admiration of what he
calls "this musical insect" and Ana.
creon has sung its praises in the fol-
lowing ode:

A LETTER FROM SOLDIERS HOME.
Eow it Looks to an Old Soldier.

, SOLDIERS, HOWE,
To the Editor 0r TIE National Republican:
SIR: l most respectfully request that you be
kid enough to grant me space in your valuable
columns for the following remarks: Some time
ago ], as well as other soldiers that 1 know Of,
tried in vain, and do yet try in vain from time to
time, to obtain some subordinate position, no mat
ter how low the grade, in any Of the various De-
partments Of the Government. We were cred
itably informed on different occasions that there
really existed, or that there were about 10 be,
some vacancies, but when we applied we were
informed, in some cases, that no vacancies ex-
listed, and in other cases tina there were other
men ahead Of US. We were afterwards informed
on urdoubted authority that the vacancies were
filed, and do yet continue TO be filled. from time
to time, by eI Confederate soldiers. Now claim
the right TO ask is 1t Just or compatible or Is IL in
harmony with the sentiments Of the respectable
portion Of the Inhabitants Of the country to give
preference to men who strenuously endeayOred to
privileges; that they deny the men who rske1
sfr lives and in some cases spent their fortunes
tions respond to their country's call, prompted
by no Of Yer motive than pure love of their coun-
tfy and tu flag? Now, occasionally, some Of
there men e * an occasional favor BY The way Of
s:i-t which is denied them, and granted
~ pSsIp &c deliberate brothers, whose equals
tney are; az least, ~nuGiderstion surely their
most a5s eHtIe@s o on cam deny Who to
blame in this case? Are the he~- t.her ms
ments or are the lesser officials? 1 Ia sre
pect Il is the latter, who It would appear
prompted by some political trickery or paltry
advantage TO make these appointments, and 81:
terwards nisrepresent the previous standing ena
true character of the sppointees. We do not
deny but that our Confederate brothers are en-
titled to rights and privileges as we'll as we are,
but we do deny that they are entitled to the
preference. Therefore, l do ask, respectfully,
that some OF our Senators or Congressman be
good enough to give little OF their consideration
to this subject IN asking some Of our leading men
to give this subject q thought. do not pretend
to ask any of our unmasked antagonists, the gen.
tieT VI the Bourbon stripe, who invariably Up
Dose any measure that happens TO De plougLSs
forward for our benefit. No, l would rather -
one Of the leading men who belong 20 the ranks
OF the party with which we always found 1t our
duty and pride to be identified with, besides Its
being in harmony with the principles for which
we fought, and which We hope ever to maintain.
