He Talks on the Withdrawal OF the Alton
from the Association.
NEW YORK, July 24.-The Tribune
says Jay Gould was at his Office yester-
Gay after a yachting cruise Of little more
than a week. Many rumoTs that were
started after he left the city were called
to his attention. He SAID i'll general
way that they were without foundation
About the report that the Missouri Pacific
was about to withdraw from the inter
state association, DIR. Gould said:
81 think the association viii exist in
spite of the Chicago and Alton. That
road is a dividend payer, and it becomes
all solvent companies to do all they can
for the maintenance of rates. The Alton
is not likely to cause a disturbance. be-
cause there VIII be business enough for
all of US. Crops in the Southwest, ex-
cept cotton, is beyond danger of acct
dent. We shall have all the traffic we
can handle for'the vest of the year, and
other members OF the association are sat
Ished with the prospect.
IN regard to the story that he had
been trying to buy the Alton, he said:
or have all the railroads l need at
present. Ny interests are in railroads
and l am satisfied too look after them.

3Ir. Gould smiled when it was sug-
gested that he had recently been Dor
rowing large sums OF money. He
remarked, after a brief pause:
- am lending much more than am
borrowing.
An intimate friend of Mr.. Gould $
said that all efforts 70 induce the Alton
to reconsider its withdrawal from the
Interstate association have been uRsuc-
cessful. There have been recent con-
fereuces in thjs city, he said, bat they
have not amounted 10 much. The
Alton viii stay out. but it VIII not cut

SINGULAR PRESENTIMENT.
An Irish Soldier Who Knew lie was Going to
Die.
Lincoln (Neb.) Journal.

Lincoln (Neb,) Journal,
In the autumn OF '62 Gen. Mcclellan
was relieved from active duty in the
Army of the Potomac and Gen. Burnside
assumed command. This change wGs
very unpopular with the boys, who loved
Little Mac, and who felt a great degree
of uncertainty in the ability of the new
commander. There was widespread dis
content in the ranks in consequence of
this change. Added to this the invincible
strategists were still clamOriug for a for
ward movement, regardless of time or
favorable opportunity.
In view of these facts it was deem ed
absolutely necessary that a battle should
be fought under the new leader at the
earliest possible moment The first bat
tie OF fredericksburg was the result. On
the day of that battle our brigades
climbed the heights on the southeasterly
bank of the Rappahannock, opposite
Fredericksburg and halted upon the
summit near some heavy batteries.
As we looked down upon the
river, with its slender pontoon
bridge, with the city upon its OPP
posite margin, and as we raised our
eyes to corresponding heights just back
OF the city, fTowning with cannon and
breast-wOrks and swarming with Confed-
crate soldiery. painful and OverpoweT-
ing sense OF the impossible task before US
and the deaGEness of the undertaking i'll
all its horrible magnitude forced itself
upon the minds of all present. a sense
of duty, the imminence of the greater
danger before us, and the nearness of the
conflict, served to close up the ranks and
to keep nearly every man in his place.
I had been detailed with a small squad
to act as provost-general to prevent fall
ing out and Struggling TO the rear. Dur
ing the short halt on the brow Of the
heights, before the march across the
river, several Of the boys came 10 the
rear OF the column to leave with the
chaplain valuables and messages to their
friends in case anything should happen.
Among the number came Nike,
large, powerful and courageous Irish
man, great favoTite in the regiment,
and a man who had always laughed at
danger, and mad rejoIced at the oppor-
tunity of having q 'scrimmage' with
the enemy.
On this occasion he appeared TO be an
entirely different man. He approached
the chaplain with tears in his eyes: he
gave him picture of his sister living III
