SECTION VI FROM CAMP 80 THE
ENEMY'S COUNTRY.

In the autumn of 1862 a great many new.
ly-enlisted men were sent to Camp Butler
for drill and organization. These came in
squads, companies and regiments, always
unarmed and not uniformed.
In these men q few days time often eff
fected a wonderful transformation.
One regiment in particular is called to
mind; it came in one day from Southern
Illinois, and was the most motley lot of
men ever looked upon. Brown jeans was
the prevailing dress, but every imaginable
cut Of coat and style of hat could be seen,
and all from Colonel down were slouchy in
attire and awkward and ungainly in gait.
A few weeks later the same body of men
marched out to tuke the cars, bound for
the seat of war, dressed in now, neat uni
forms; their bright, new arms glistening
in the sun, every man marching with reg
ular firm step, and the whole regiment
moving with machine-like precision.
In front of the Post Commandments head
quarters at Camp Butler was flag pole,
upon which early each morning was run
up the stars and stripes, that were taken
down again when night approached.
Here also was cannon that was fired
every night at sunset and every morning
at sunrise.
To keep the men from climbing over the
fence chain OF guards was posted next tc
1t all around. These were armed with old
army muskets that were utterly harmless,
all being in some way defective. But

armed with one Of these, given the coun-
tersign and put on his "beat' perhaps be-
tween q hickory tree and white oak
stump, the new soldier felt all the dignity
ofhis position by day and the full weight
OF his responsibilities at night. At this
period words from the Eastern army were
most in favor for cOunterstgn ;such as 'tBurn-
side," "Kearney," "Hooker," "Chicka-
hominy," Potomac" Rapahannock," etc.
After night the guard allowed no one to
approach without challenge, when, if the
party purported to be friend, he was re-
quired to whisper the countersign over the
musket's length with bayonet attached.
Before regimental organization had been
perfected, the writer, with two comrades,
procured a furlough to visit home for q
few days. They arrived by rail within
twenty miles of their destination at nine
one night. Time was limited, so it
was resolved to foot it home that very
night. After walking about five hours the
home Of one Of the party in the country
was reached, and to save time and get to
sleep as soon as possible, it was decided to
slip in the house quietly and go to bed at
once. Accordingly, guided by the comrade
whose family occupied the house, all were
Hoon disposed Of, and, being exceedingly
weary, quickly went to sleep.
The writer occupied the front Of one bed
and one Of his comrades the back. All slept
late and at the breakfast table the next
morning the lady Of the house, a matronly
woman, said to the writer:
"Didn't know kissed you awhile ago,
did you2 Well" she continued, 81 went

FALL TRADE PROSPECTS.

Interviews with representative retailers
and iobbers Of Richmond indicate that this
CITY in few weeks will be in the midst Of
one OF the most active fall trades ever OK
perienced here. Dealers in dry goous' III
dress goods and household necessarles' art
usually among the first 10 experience the
effects of ready money, and their trade ma!
generally be regarded as an index oil 'ne
public welfare. Those who have an eN'eh-
siye credis business express themselves a.
greatly satisfied with the prospects. one
gentleman stated that the results OF pay
mcnts in August were better tnan
ever before. The retailers find that persons
who usually confne their purchases 10 'he
plainest material are buying higher-prlced
Goods. These movements, OF course, mean
more activity in every line OF trade ihere
has been n vast increase IN the retail trade
in Richmond during the past three years
and the indications are that this iall VIII
rive il a greater impetus than IT has ever
had before. The volume, il is estimated, WI
increase fifty per cent. at least over That q
last wear. There is no better indication OF
the conservative growth of the general
trade Of Richmond than this, though
i, is also evidenced by the more attractive
appearance of the stores and the improve
ment in the lines Of goods carried. Jobbing
has made most wonderful strides, partcu-
larly in Georgia, South Carolina, ana len
nessee. having branched into territory le-
ultimately belonging to Richmond but
hitherto occupied to great extent by Al
,anta and Knoxville. This is no spasmodic
stride, but the result OF the acknowledged
better facilities which Richmond enjoys for
carving on this trade.

Hon. JOHN W. Jewell, who is adyo
eating woman suffrage in the Mississippi
Constitutional Convention, is a member OF
the Virginia family Of that name. The
earnestness with which his proposition has
been received is not surprising 10 those who
have watched the development of female
education in Mississippi. There is in that
state one Of the best equipped and
most ably conducted colleges for women in
the country, and the spread of higher edu-
cation among women has usually caused
men in any section of the country TO look
less askance at the idea .of woman suffrage.
Mr.. Fewelrs plan, however, relieves the
patriotic woman from much Of the annoy
ance of the suffrage by granting her the
privilege of voting by proxy.

Another cause OF the increased eiiicienc,
aud reliability of the army may be found in
the fact that more and more recruits are
taken each year from the South. Soldiers
tom this section will compare with any in
the world, as the records of the late war
demonstrated, and one of the best signs that
the war is over is the increasing demand
for Southern recruits and the willingness of

career in A Modern Instance" Now
that he advocates the signing of an ediro
rial by the writer, suspicion has been
changed TO conviction.
