A BEGGING PENNSYLVANIA
PROVED 4 ERAITT

1KON ED y tRA L IL.
A few days since, man came TO Il farm
house which sits near the bank Of the old
Potomac, which he entered, and who
should he meet but = lady with brilliant
eyes and rosy cheeks, and who possesses
the most fascinating ways. After some
moments he courteously handed this lady
a.paper by which lie professei not TO be
able 10 talk, and begged for money to en-
able him to procure a silver tube, which
he said when inserted in the mouth would
enable the defective organs of the throat
to discharge their office properly. lie
then wrote on 4 slate that his name was
Couch and that he lived i'll Berkeley cour-
ty. The lady Of the house gave Literally
10 the professed unfortunate one, but that
night he was compelled by the tempestu-
Gus winds to seek Il place of repose. In so
doing he met some young ladies who were
once his pupils, who he taught the Eng
lish branches. He ofcOurse talked to them
as of old. Ii so happened the next day
that Mr.. A. meets Mr.. Il. and told him OF
Mr.. j. NJ. Couch (the professed unfortu-
nate one,) who came to his house begging
All, said Mr.. B., what kind Of a looking
fellow was he? Mr.. a. gave descrlp-
ton of the mau. Why said Mr.. Is. he
stayed all night with us and Cid not de-
tect ANYTHING wrong with his speech.
Had tie poor Pennsylvania high aim in
life when he launched his canoe upon its
troubled waters, he doubtless never would
have proven fraud; but am afraid the
rocks and quick sands he'll not escape. 1t
has since been found out that }. Nj. Couch
is not the frauds name, but that it is Zln-
merman, Pennsylvania. The conclu-
sion to which I've come is that If ''the
Penn-Wild-Ca Cat ms" as it is called, don t
soon pay up I'll begin to think It's Il

PORE AND JACKsoN.-Major Henry
Douglas, of IIagerstown, Md, who was
a member of Gen. Slonewall Jackson S
staff, has written All interesting commu-
nication to the Philadelphia Times on
the campaign which eyentuated in the
second battle Of Manassas. He thinks
Gen Fitz-John Porter was most grlev-
ouSly wrongcd by the Judgment ct the
courlmartial that drove HIM from the
army. Major Douglas thinks Gen.
Banks was justified by Gen. Pope's
order in attacking Gen. Jackson at
Slaughter Mountain upon his approach
and he says he certainly did SO with
great vigor" lie says the real object
was to beat Pope before he was largely
reinforced by Mcclellan, and TO score a
victory with its results for the Army OF
Northern Virginia. Major Douglass
opinion is that "it Gen. Pope was not
a failure, he certainly was not success;
that had he possessed moiety OF the
ability of Lee OF Jackson lie could not
have captured or routed the latter on
the 28ln of August, 1862. He missed
a great opportunity for doing his coun-
try great service and himself much
honor, for with Jackson prisoner or a
fugitive the North would have come TO
bin in lcgicns; he could have closed
the war with a clap OF thunder, and
Pope and not Grant might have been
the successor Of Lincoln.
