TWO GOOD WAR sToRIEc.
A Battle of Words Between a Union Soldier
and'a 'sSecesh" Woman.

A Battle of Words Between Union Soldier
and'a "Secesh" Woman.
The following stories by an officer
IN the Union army who fought at
Yorktown during the late rebellion
will give an idea Of the temper and
spirit with which the advent of the
'Yanks" was looked for by the
negroes. A couple of officers were
advancing some distance apart from
their men, when they were hailed by
an old negro woman standing in the
door of her rude cabin.
Bless de Lordn' she exclaimed as
loud as she could. ''Yer's come at
last! Yer's come at last! Use looked
for yer these many years, and now
yer 8 come. Bless de Lord"
Nothing could exceed the old
woman's delight at seeing the Y ankees.
This meant something and how much?
In the childish delight of that old
woman what a history is suggested.
Long years she had waited to see
this deliverance. Slave she was and
the slow years dragged their weary
lengths past her youth. and still hope
whispered that the hour would come
when the bondage would be broken.
At last it comes when the spring OF
life is gone. and yet her aged lips are
eloquent with Joy.
The battery mentioned above was
in charge OF the First Connecticut
Artillery, and was built in front of
large and stately brick mansion.
which was surrounded by peach
orchards 1t is the property Of Mrs
Baldwin, whose son and husband
were in the rebel army.
Mrs Baldwin was lady somewhat
advanced in years. very secesh in
opinion. who had remained on her
estate, but at this time was dwelling
in small house removed from the
danger resulting from the guns of her
own friends. During this time an
officer belonging to the artillery corps
had some little conversation with the
lady. to the following effect:

S. L.-Are they planting also?
F. O.-They haven't planted any IF

cluded their work, I can not tell you
what they will do.
S. L.--Ah! Well. if they plant any
of your blue coated comrades. I hope
they won't sprout. Good morning.
The officer withdrew. Evidently
the secesh lady thought Uncle Sans
sprouts were quite thick enough on
her estate-New York Press.

OK ACCOUNT of the very great
length of the delegations memor-
ial to congress in the Strip mat
ter, we are unable to publish it all
this week, but will give the bal
ance next week. 1t is signed by
the Cherokee delegates, Boudinot
and Burlington, with Vim. A.
Phillips, counsel. This very able
efu sion does not seem to have had
the desired effect upon the adam
antine heart of congress, in-as-
much as that body has not seen
fit to ratify the Strip agreement
Just yet while. In this connec-
tion it may be well to call the at
tention of the country to thr fact
that the parties that went around
over the country donouncing Col.
Philips last summer, have seen fit
in their wisdom to employ him
again. In this they have proba-
bly, acted wisely, but it is to be
hoped that we will hear no more
of the SD, 800 matter at least from
the Downing party.

THE FLOODS.

w it'll the exception of an earth
quake shock, or a great conaagara
ton, nothing is more suggestive o
the m ajestic and irresistible pow
er of nature than is the rising ano
overiowing of great river. Tho
ingenuity Of man has never beer
able to derive means of controlling
the overflow of a stream. The
strongest works by the most skill.
full engineers have from time tC
time been swept aside by the
might of the waves. The labor OF
a lifetime may be swept away in q
moment, and these destructive
overhows are not confined TO any
certain localities or alone to the
large streams. But ever and anon
some village among the hills high
I'D above the sea-level, and il
would seem out of the way of high
water is suddenly surprised and
swept away by a water-spout or
SO sudden as TO give
note of warning TO those who
Ire unfortunately in this tract.
The town of Sloan Springs,
Ark, that was only a few days ago
visited by food that laid waste
to the major portion of its build
ings and drowned three OF its citi-
zens. is located more than thous-
and feet above the level of the
sea, and on a small spring branch
not more than a mile below its
source. But the rain came N
such torrents that every hollow
and ravine became a raging Hood,
and the valley below was for the
time a roaring mighty river that
swept everything in its pathway.
The originating causes OF these
disastrous floods have never been
understood or controlled by man
in the least, and we can only
view them as emblems of the
strength and power of Him who
holds the universe in the hollow
of his hand. A very large portion
of the richest farming land in the
whole Mississippi valley has been
overfowed and the present crop at
least destroyed. This, will with
out doubt, bring much suffering
upon the people of those sections.
The acreage of cotton and corn
and in fact all farm products VIII
be very materially lessened.

The Presidents Message.

The last annual message of Presi-
dent Harrison to congress will be
found IN full in this issue of the
tribune, and il will amply repay a
careful perusal, Like all the pre-
ceding papers of the president it is
clear, explicit and comprehensive.
1t presents a complete review of
the general condition of the couu-
thy and the operations Of the gov
eminent for the past year, and no.
where can so much information
respecting public affairs be found
in SO compact a form. This is
popularity of all Of President Harri-
sons state papers, aud they are for
that reason far more interesting to
the general reader than similar pa
pers usually are
There are many subjects of mn
usua. importance ana interest TO the
public, that find Instructive Great
ment in the message, notably the
silver question, statistics of the
material growth of the country and
of the commerce of the great
lakes. From these it appears that
the tonnage passing through the
Detroit river in about nine months
of the year is 2l,634, O0O-more
than double that of Liverpool and
nearly double that of London for a
whole year.
There is no deficit in the treasury
but surplus of several millions.

next are brighter than they have

who are not in full accord with the
views of frec-traders respecting the

Of them in the victorious party. A
definite opinion can be formed soon
after the present congress gets
fairly To- work.
