There is a story in circulation in the army
of Northern Virp'it ia, which runs as follows :
A well known Confederate Major General',
was stopping for awhile, in a Georgia village, I
sometime _fhce, which fact coming to the ■
knowledge of the Captain of the "Home
Guard"—a portion of that arm of service, as
1 heard a friend remark the other day, gene
rally* formed with the understanding tbat
ihey are 'not to leave home, unless that home
i. mLvaded' —said Captain resolve, to give tbe
General an opportunity of witnessing the 're
volutions' of his superb corps. In due time,
Capt. 's company, having 'fell in/were
discovered by the General, in" front of bis
quarters, in the execution of the command,
_n two ranks, £it/ fee. During the exhibi
tion, by some dexterous double quick move
ment, only known among militia - officers, the.
Captain, much to his surprise and chagrin,
found the company in a 'fix/ best described,
I reckon, us a .olid circle/ In stentoropho
nic tones, he called to them 1o 'halt!' The
General became interested, and drew near, in
order to Fee in what way things would be
righted. The Captain, in his confusion.turn
ed his head to one side, like a duck when
tdie sees the,shadow of a hawk flit past, and
seemed to be in the deepest thought. At -last
an idea seemed to strike him: a ray of intelli
geuce mantled his face, and, straightening up,
he turned to the company, and cried out,
'Company, disentangle, to the front, MAKCEf!' '
The company was 'straightened:'-and the
General gave it as his opinion, tbat it was'the
beet command he had ever heard given.

A letter from the army of Northern Virgi
n's _hy« that ex-Brigadier General Pryor and
all the members of his late staff are now in
Hi? ranks of tbe 3d Va. Cavalry, of Fit- Lee's

on d >üble duty; not long since, for mjssing
'i-'Hcall." Lieut. Col.——, of a Virginia
regiment, is also a private in the 3d Virginia.
This war has conclusively shown that distin

Gen. F-tzhugh Lee and Capt.

The Fortress Monroe correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer writes as follows to
Hint paper, under date ofthe Gth inst: ■
Passing within the, fortress, I saw Col.
Fitzlrugh Lee, son of the rebel General, and
Captain Winder, who are held as hostages
f«r hanging in retaliation, provided Jeff Davis
bungs Capt. Sawyer and his companion.—
Kb one would suppose, from tbe appearance
of Lee and bis. friend, that they had any idea
of being "run up" or swnn'g off. They have
liberty to promenade inside tbe walls of the
fort during the day under military guard, but
are closely confined at night. *Fhey often
are seen reviewing the dress parade.

. A IVegro Conscript.
Among, the incidents of conscription in ne
gros worshipping-.Massachusetts, it ia related
that '-'a .colored conscript presented himself
fur examination, and failing to develope any
physical disability, inquired if 'age wouldn't
do nothing f-r a body?' 'How old are you/
asked the C-ptain. 'Forty -seven, sar/—
Well, if you can show that you are so old, you
are exempt uroler the law.' So the conscript
pulled out of his pocket a bill of sale of him
self dated at Richmond, which gave eaough
of his descriitive genealogy to warrant the
board in exempting him for over age."
