with all their usual bravery and despera-
ton, knowing full well the Importance OF

He was fighting on iami lar ground the
wide valley of the Shenandoah was
splendid theatre for his operations; his
force was nearly equal to that Of his op-
ponent; and as the possession of the sup
plies of the valley and the covering of the
lines Of communication al its head were
all-important to the Confederate cause,
he had every inducenent which soldier
could possibly have to wrest victory at all
hazards. But he is defeated by a compara-
tive STRIPPING, Il young General who was
ony howing his way upward with the
sabre, after Ear Us name had been for
many months fami lar to Europe and

which have Richmond for their centre,
the episode of the Shenandoah Valley
would seem to prove that Lee has more

when he is believed to have been IN the

to mass on Grants left with view Of re-
capturing the road, the Federal General
suddenly launches his thunderbo't and

The jar is fl led with sugar, the clay put

Speak not dOleful things in the time Of
mirth, nor at the table nor Of melan-

others mention them, change, if you can,
the discourse.


Break not a jest when none take
pleasure in mlrth. Laugh not loud, nor

road, and conceal himself till another
night. He had just reached place suit

voices approaching, and Immediately Sc

cognition, leaving one of his own letters
on the body, aud thus compelling his
family and friends to belive it was him
self-intending, as scon as he could do
so with safety, to acquaint his wife with
the real facts.


This purpose it is already known he

succeeded in carrying out; and finding
passport on the deceased, that in its
description, of size, color of hair, CON-
plexion, and so forth, answered to des-
cription of himself. he decided to make
use of it and assume his name. There
was also large amount of money and
valuable Jewels on the murdered man.
which, thinking it wrong to use and
wrong TO leave, he took away aud buried
intending, if he could ever discover .he
friends Of the deceased, to restore all to
them, but otherwise TO see all disposed of
in charity.


At Aiaccio he found a vessel bound
for India, and forthwith took passage, to
try his fortune in that distant land. He
had been successful Beyond his most
sanguine hopes, and had now returned 10
