Seen in the Moon.

Most people can see faces in the fire,
and some strange form in the moon, that
has given rise TO the saying about a man
in the moon. Not two people, however,
says the London Ners, in all probability
see alike, and this has suggested to NJ.
Camille Flammarion, the distinguished
French astronomer, a rather curious expert
ment. He has asked a number Of more
or less well known men to tell him what
they can fancy they see in the outlines on
the moons surface, and he has received
some odd replies. NJ. Saint-Saens can see
the outline of kangaroo; NJ. AQuilino
Barba. suppliant Madonna; NJ. Zamboni,
a mans head kissing n womans head; NJ.
Dragon, anything he pleases; NJ. Deseillig-
ny. only shapeleSs spots; NJ. A. Pierot, a
man with outstretched arm: NJ. de Balassny,
Cain bearing aloft on a pitchfork the bleed
ing body of Abel, and NJ. Queniseet, the
trunk and legs of n man. Each person
addressed was asked to furnish a little
sketch of his fancy picture, and the draw
ings thus obtained have been formed into
an album and presented to the Astronomical
Society of France. In the reign of Charles
II. our own savantS, according to Butler,
all saw the same thing in the moon
namely, an elephant, and even then it was
only because there was a mouse in their
telescope. French scientific men of the
present day have more imagination.

THE LAST RAID OF AORGAN'S MEN.
The Union Victory at CyntIana, KY, June II, 1864
BY THE CAPTAIN OF co. D, 7th OHIO CAV.

Gen. Morgan promptly made dispositions
for battle planning especially for the
capture of the Federals in the town, He
sent the second brigade by the right-hand
road to cross the river above Cynthlana, IN
order TO gain the enemy'S rear. Glitner' S
Brigade was ordered to move directly upon
the town.
When we had reached the hill overlooking
the town on the west side, we saw that the
enemy had received an intimation OF our
coming and We're prepared to receive us.
They were formed behind a stone fence. a
most excellent fortifcation. Hearing. the
guns Of the Second Brigade, the signal for
the attack, we fianked the fence, and after
brief skirmish, fought principally by
Lieut.. H. H. Adcock, commanding Co. f,
Ith KY, the enemy fled precpltately across
the bridge, seeking shelter in the town.
We captured about IS of them before they
reached the bridge. The Federals made
spirited resistance, but they were soon
driven into the depot buildings, where a
hot fight was waged un1il their commander,
Col. Berry. was killed. They also sought
refuge in the Court House and other build

The thriving little city Of Cynthiana
nestled in the Licking Valley, is surrounded
by some of the most attractive blue grass
farms in a region far famed for beauty.
During the civil war it was the fortune
of the residents of Cynthiana to witness
somtimes as many as two battles in day,
and they here saw Gen. John Morgan win
some Of his most striking successes as well
as meet with most crushing defeat.
In the early part of the war 1t was here
that Morgan captured a battery of artillery
under Capt Billy Glass, of Cincinnati.
The horses of this battery were a crack lol
from the Fire Department, horses which
the citizens of Cincinnati held in almost
reverent affection. Capt Glass was great
ly chagrined at the capture of his guns and
horses and Morgan was comparatively
elated. He was so delighted with his
capture that he had his private telegraph
operator tap the wires and send message
TO the Mayor of Cincinnati something like
this:

ments to the Honorable Mayorof Cincinnati,
to whom he conveys the information that

NOT ABOVE TIE CLOUDS.

4. ]. Learned, Co. G, 18th Ohio, Mill
field, o., writes: ''Anent the controversy
in regard to the battle above the Clouds
| desire to make a statement, hoping that
those who were not eye-witncsses and
who are unacquaintcd with the topo-
graphy of the ground fought over may
form Il clearer idea of the facts than is
possible from what has been already writ
ten. That many people, including histor-
ians, believe that the battle was actually
fought above the clouds is due to the
habit of the high coloring of The reports
of the newspaper correspondents. The
first accounts in the newspapers described
it as occurring above the clouds. The alb
surdity of this is apparent to anyone on
considering the elevation at which the bat
tie was fought. The highest point of the
field is at the base of cliff at least 800
feet from the summit of the mountain.
Here begins the bench or slope on which
stood the Craven house. This slope ex-
tends with n descent of probably 100 feet
to the top of another cliff 200 feet, at the
base of which is the NJ. & G.. Il: X. track
on a narrow strip of land bordering on the
river and not more than 20 feet above the
surface of the water. No part of the
field is, therefore, more than $50 feet
above the level of the river. In the morn
ing there was a heavy fog along Lookout
and Chattanooga Greeks and along the
river, completely hiding the base of the
mountain, but leaving the summit visible
to the spectators in the works in the val
ley, one Of which was your humble ser

frequently seen along water courses in all

PLEA FOR BORDER PATRIOTS.

J. S. McCarnell, Co. G, Goth Iowa,
Argo Iowa, writes: THE people of the
border rebel States who were loyal to the
Union during 1S61'65 evidently suffered
inestimably more for the cause than the
people of any other sections. Has there
ever been any monument erected to their
honor? They were i'll the coils of the shiny
rebel monster, many of them felt the
sting of its fangs. We of the North ex-
perienced little in comparison with the
horrors of these dreadful years there. Are
there not yet living in poverty many who
in those border States lost friends, prop
erty, everything but their own lives, for
their love for the old flag? Have they
been in any way rewarded for their fidel-
ity to righteousness and liberty? They
surely should be awarded first place in the
estimation of an appreciatiye public. Their
history should be written by the best his
torians and monument built that would
tell to all freedom-loving people of the fu-
ture how they struggled, fought and suf-
fercd to stem the tide of the most unwar-
ranted, unprovolled rebellion and villain

the rebels to give way farther to the left
and enabled Minty's gallant troopers to
get in. Longs Division, 5000 strong,
consisting of Wilde's and Minty's Bri-
