I thank yuu. Mr, with all my heart.
For love is sweet.

To whom the doors of life stand wide;
But much, how much, to woman! She

At dice and wiue!

What shadow tail.?
We read the last new novel out,
Aud live in dreain-luud till it ends;
We write rotuautic school-girl notes.
That bre our friends.
We learn to trill Italian notes.
And thrum lor hours the tortured keys;

We feed our birds, we tend our flowers.

Or play the housewife in our gloves.
And dust the room.
But some of ns have hearts and miuda!
So mu-b the war, tor us aud you;
For grant we seek a better life.
What cau ae do?
We cannot build and sail vour ships.
Or drive your engineer we are weak.
And iguorant of the tricks of trade:
To think, aud speak.
Or write soine earnest, stammering words.
a Alone is ours, and that you hate;
ro tor-vd within ourselves again.
We sigh and wait.
Ah! who ran tell the Litter hours,
Ibe dreary days that women spend?
Their thoughts unshared, their lives uukuowu.
Without a frieudl
Without a friend? And what is he.
Who, like a shadow, day and ouht.
Follows the woman he prefers?
Lives in her sight?
II er lover, he a gallant man
Devoted to her every wtiiiu;
lie vows to die for her, so she

We should be very grateful. Sir,
That wheu you've nothing else to do.
You waste your idle hours on us;
So kind of you!
Profuse in studied compliments.
Your manners, like your clothes, are fine.
Though both, at times, are somewhat stroug
Of smoke and wine!
What can we hope to know of you?
Ur you ot us? e act our part?;
We love in jest: it is the play
Of hands, not besrtsl
You grant my bitter words are true ' "

Your love is steady as a star:
But we shall see.
You say you love me: have you thought

Alas! a world of happiness.

You know, or should, your nature now,

From the Seventh Regiment.
HARPER'S FERRY. Va., Oct 9th, 1862.
Messrs Eddurs: It is perhaps unneces
sary tor me to retrace our steps in toe
great retreat of Gen. Pope from the Rap
idan to the Federal Capital, as is already
familiar to every one ; how after being
" a i i l I i
sevenu times out uau&cu aim surruunueu
by the rebels, (once cut completely off,
at Bristol Station!) by a series of rapid
flank movements, and "brilliant strat
egy," we succeeded in placing ourselves
under cover of the forts about Washington,
this is all known. Suffice it to say, this
was aixxmiplisbed by our brigade without
the loss of a uiau. Bu t perhaps out ruove
tuonU in Alary land may not be so widely
known, therefore I shall give a brief ac
count thereof, hoping it may interest
your many readers. 1 shall confine my
self particularly to our brigade, it being
the tint brigade of the second division of
Bunk's corps, originally comnanded by
Brig. Gen: Geary, and composed of theold
'"third brigade" of Shield's division, and
tne -niu tteg i. ra. volunteers.
We arrived under cover of the fortifica
tions of Alexandria late in the night of
the 2nd ofSeptember.careworn and weary,
having been tonstautly in the field, with
out even the shelter of a blanket, rubber
or otherwise, exposed to all the changes
of the weather, since the 17th of August.
In the afternoon of the 3d, we marched
up to Arlington, llighte, as we were in
formed, to the support of Fort Albany,
and laid out our encampment in a beau
tiful meadow, on the left flank of the
fort. Our wagon train did not join us
until nipht, sc that our tents were not
pitched; but we enjoyed the luxury of
once more sleeping between our shoddy
blankets, and to one, sleep was delicious.
At midnight the, order was received, by
regiments. "Have your men ready to
march at half past eight with two days
radtions." We did not start however,
until nearly noon, when crossing the Poto
mac to Georgetown, we took up our line
of march toward Poolesville, (which was
understood to. be our destination ) and
halted for the night in a cedar grove, five
miles from Georgetown. With the morn
ing came a change of programme, we
were not to go to Poolesville, the rebels
had effected a crossing into Maryland, and en
tered the place before ttt! Starting at 2 P.
M. we marched eleven miles, passing
through the neut and loyal town of Kock
ville, halting in a grove about a mile from
the village. On the 5th, we advanced
and found aline of battle fronting towards
Poolesville, placing the village of Darns-
town upon our left flank. Thus we rested
and waited the advance of the foe who
had so adroitly eluded the Army of Va.,
and outflanked the seat of war itself, and
who were now menacing our Capital.
But they soon realized that it was no Pope
who led our men, but the man they respect
and fear, but whom they fancied was in
disgrace Gen. McClellan.
On the 9th having received the infor
mation that the . rebels had occupied
Fredricktown in force, and it was Balti
more and Pensylvania lines was threaten
ed, we broke our line and advance in
five columns toward Frederick, at which
place the advance arrived, and after a
light skirmish, entered on the 12th.-
LI ere our brigade was promised few days
rest, and our camp was laid out accord
ingly. But the next morning, (ice had
arrived on the 13th, ) we were formed in
line, and marching through the city,
crossed the mountains into Pleasant val
ley to Middletown. While descending
into the valley, we could observe the pro
gress of the battle of South Mountain, on
the opposite range,which was being fought
by the advance under the immediate
supervision of Gen. McClellan. The di
vision of Gen. Cox, of Warren, was in
this engagement, and was particularly
distinguished for its gallantry and prime
fighting qualities displayed. They were
all Ohio boys, mid tcot Ue battle. In this
fight, Maj. Gen. Eeno was killed, Gen.
Cox has been assigned to the corps, com
manded by Reno previous to his death.
On the 15th we advanced and completed
the rout begun the day betore,driving the
enemy through Boonsboro, and in great
hast toward Sharpsborg. As we were pass
ing through Boonsboro, the monotony of-
the march was broken by the presence
our loved Gen. McClellan, who roue along
the ranks amid the enthusiatic cheers ot
the brave men he was leading to victory.
Gen s Hichardson a ami tii';isaiiton s
columns of cavalrv and liiiht nttillerv
were in close pursuit of the enemy, and
ever and anou could be oeard the reports
of their iiuns as thev came up with the
reur-.'uartl, each time further down the
valley. We halted for the night about
three miles from Boonsboro. OnthelGth
we advanced, and took )M-ition in the
rear of Gen. Burnside's corps, about a
mile from Antiotam creek. Somepretty
sharp skirmishing oeeured between Geii.
Cox's division and the eneniv, while the
guns of Buruside developed the position
of the main body of the rebels.
They had chosen for their position a
series of sharp points, rasing lroin the
banks of the creek and extending back
to the rear of Sharpsburg in a succession
of ridges, each more formidable than the
first; but when viewed from the southeast
has very much the appearance of table
laud, the entervening ravines being in
distinguishable. These points or ridges
are tor the most part surmounted by a
heavy copse of timber, which furnished
admirable shelter for foot soldiers, while
with batteries flanking each hill, they
were all that a general could wish for a
defensive position.
t ully comprehending the strength ot
the position, Gen. McClellan sen I Gen.
Hooker's and Summer's corps around to
the left of their advance position, across
Antietam creek, and ere the close of day
they had succeeded in driving them fully
a mile.
We had lain down in line of battle ex
pecting to remain until the morrow, the
tattoo had sounded and an impressive
silence had settled upon the bivouac, bro
ken only by the tread of the alarm guard,
as he slowly paced his beat, and the oc
casional passage of an orderly conveying
some order to be executed in the coming
day. Not long were we to rest. Our ears
were soon assailed with "Attention, jinJ
brigade!" and we were soon in line and
moving around to the right, to the sup
port of Hooker and Sumner, where we
arrived about 1 A. M., and bivouacked
upon theground held by the reliels scarce
six hours previous. An occasional shot.
or volley, in an adioinine piece of woods.
reminded us of the close proximity of the
enemy, nevertheless, the rest of the night
was passed quietly enough by us.
The morning came, fresh and beautiful
but our reveille was not the rattle of the
drum, nor the clear notes of the bugle.
The day was opened bp a fierce volley of
musketry, succeeded by another and yet
another, which soon were so continous as
to be blended in one continous roll
Tho struggle had commenced, aud the
sun that rose shone upon a held already
red with blood. Soon the heavy,tones of
the cannon were mingled with the sharp
crackling roll of small arms, aud the din
was terrinc. General JlooKer was en
gaged and hotly too. We were inimedia-
ately ordered under arms, and advanced
in the direction of the fight. Halting with
in easy supporting distance, we n ere l
lowed thirty minutes for making coffee,
At the end of this time the volume of
sound perceptibly increased, and was be
coming nearer, lhe rebels were reinfor
ced and were slowly driving our men be
fore them I "rorward, shouted Gener
al Mansfield, and forward we went in col
umns of divisions, as cool and regular as
in a dull, changing directions to the
left, we advanced through a corn-field to
ward a narrow belt of woods, the battle
raging. Beyond and to the right of this
wokii was a corn-field taken by
Hooker the evening previous, and which
was now held by the rebels, having driv
en our boys back An open field lay le-
fore us commanded by the direct and
flank fire of the rebel arillery, and the
left flank of their infantry, and notwith
standing the heavy fire we thus suddenly
received, the advance was made steadily
and in common time. Arriving at the
front, ployed into line of battle the 2Stb
Pa. in front, supported bv the .tli, jth
and GGth Ohio. (The 29th was detached
from the brigade at Frederick for guard-
duty.) As the line was now complete we
advanced and our work teas Itegim. The
28th gave a volley from their Enfields
such as I never heard liefore ; it seemed
as though a whole brigade had discharged
theirpiecesatonce. It wassoon heard from
the rest, ouroirn included. No halt was
made until the woods were ours, aud the
enemy was to be dislodged from behind
a rail fence, then we occupiej the crest of
the hill in the woods aud from this point
we directed our fires to the fence where
we could plainly see them level their pie
ces at us, and fire.'
For an hour and a half we thus remain
ed, and fought one side with the energy
of desperation, the other with the energy
imparted by a conciousness of right and
justice, the contest was fair and equal.
and the right triumphed, i he blood red
"battle-nag of the Potomac," fell time and
again, and as often was raised defiantly
insultingly. At last the line began to wa
ver, and Gen. Green shouted "Charge 1"
With a yell of triumph we started with
leveled bayonets, and terror stricken, the
rebels fled. Like hounds after the fright
ened deer, we pursued them for fully
three fourths of a mile, killing, wounding
and taking prisoners at every rod. Their
colors fell a private of the 3d leaped for
ward and tore them from the staff! An
other was taken by the 2$th.
We cannot stop to enumerate the loss
es at the fence, but must follow our "vet
eran youths." Across the fields we pur
sued the foe, who again took shelter in a
heavy peice of timber, flanked by their
artillery. A battery of 12 pound howit
xers came up to our support, and most
efficient service it did render. We form
ed in the two original lines to the rear of
the battery, and lay behind a low ridge,
sufficiently high to protect us from a di
rect shot, but which offered no shelter from
the fragment of sheila bursting near and
over us ; these were continually striking
amongs. us, often grazing a cap or an arm,
but as lar as l Knowi aid no particular
harm. . "Men, have you plenty of ammuni
tion t" "No, only ten rounds left." A de
tachment was immediately tent for more
to replenish our nearly empty boxes.
Meanwhile, the howitzers were doing
beautifully,' when suddenly we heard
"But eight rounds lejt: lwenty more
rounds would silence the rebel battery,
but they had them not. At last a caisson
arrived with the twenty rounds, but it
came too late ; the rebel battery was also
supported! The ammunition was ex
hausted, the rebel fire more rapid, and a
yell in the distance denoted an advance
of their infantry. Shall we retreat ! No?
we will hold our ground or die ?
On they come yelling defiantly 'tia A.
P. Hill's division, second to none but
Jackson's. We look anxiously for anoth-
er battery. It comes! It comes! We
are aafe. The eallant 8th Rhode Island
battery comes up in splendid style, our

ranks opened ngnt ana leu ior mem, tue
exhausted battery of howitzers wheeling
out of line. The Parrotts were unlimber
ed, and "Shell, five second fuse !" called
for, and they opened in glorious style.
But what means that fierce shout so
closely on our right T They have flanked
us, and are charging our battery! A
"half right wheel" was made and we were
partially under cover of narrow ridge. A
portion of our front rnk with the colors
advanced, and opened a light fire upon
the advancing column, but as was intend
ed it only served to draw them on. See
ing, as they supposed, our number was
small, fiercely shouting, they dashed for
ward, expecting to have an easy capture.
We waited until thev were within scarce
six rods, when with a yell, such ta free
men know how to give, we arose and pour
ed the contents of our rifles into the mass

as it was, they reeled ami staggered tor a
moment, soon rallied and returned our
fire for half an hour, then wavered. Pel
reiving tins Lieut, tol. lymiuie. (mia
Pa., temporarily commnanding the bri
gade,) ordered a charge. As we started
thev broke and fled in confusion. The
advantage was followed up, and Co's II,
and 1'. of the 7th were sent into the
woods as skirmishers, and under the efh
cient direction oft'apt. McClelhind, we
soon cleared the woods of the rel el sharp
shooters, many of whom were made to
bite the dust, llio biigacle advancing,
we held the woods for nearly two hours.
when our ammunition being out we felV
back, the 13th New Jeiev taking our
place. But the rebels obtained reinforce-.
mcnts, and again advanced, though not
so eagerly as before, opening fire upon
our men at long range. The loth New
Jersey was a new regiment, and remained
steady a short time. The officers were ev-,
idently deficient in courage, and the men.
perceiving it, caught the infection, and li
blush to say it, fled. CoL Tvndale aud
other officers endeavored to rally them,
but in vain. While thus engaged. Col. TV
fell teriouslv wounded. It was seen at
once to be useless to stand with the rem
nant of our brigade, against a fresh divi
sion, and our brave bovs leluctantly fell
back, perhaps sixty rods, thus relinquish
ing the woods anil hill ; but we saved our
batteries.
On they came yelling and exultingly
waving their colors, across the field and
entered a cornfield to the south, to flank
our men who were engaging another divi
sion. Their triumph was short, for as
they were thus advancing, they did not
perceive that they were coming between
two fires, and suddenly found themselves
nearly surrounded. Fresh troops Gen.
Franklin's, came in from the north and
east, over the identical ground we fought
over, and precipitated themselves upon
the flank of the enemy, six hundred of
whom, threw down their guns aud sur
rendered : the rest fled in disuiav from
the field.
We were again, and cV.j.C.., musteis

This couu de atart, ol ed the heavy fight
itiK upon the right, and we retired from
the front decimated, but cheerful, leel-
inj; that our duty was iierl'ormed faithful
ly and knowing that the relels were de
feated.
In the first charge we captured a twelve
pounder rifled gun. made at the "Tredegar
works. Kichmond." and three stands of
colors. As we passed the fence, the dead
and wounded lav in nn indiscriminate
pile and in numbers difficult to imagine.
The blood lay in pools or ran in crim
son steams. To clear the bodies, 1 had to
stand upon the top of the lence, and
jump as far as I could. All over the field
the dead lay in long rows, plainly snowing
the jiosition of every line of battle. Some
idea may be gained of the immense slaugh
ter, by the fact, that on an area of only
700 square feet, with a frontof W,tijty-seo-en
dead bodies lay besides the proportionate
number of tconndrd. This was immediately
in front of our regiment in the first en
gagement, and at the fence, and were
counted the next morning by myself and
many others. The slaughter was terrible
in the extreme.
The 7th entered with 150, and had 5
killed and 33 wounded. Company II,
lost oue man killed Henry Bacon, aud
one wounded, Corporal 11. J. Bell. He
has recovered and is now doing duty.
11 is useless for me to eulogize the 7th or
any other regiment. It is sufficient to be
conscious that our part was well sustained,
and our duty discharged in a maunerwor-
thy of patriots.

north of Cliaiiibersliurg, and from thence
toward Gettysburg, to which point cannot
yet be definitely a.-Heitained. is without
exception the boldest act of the war. and
far surpasses in audacitv and dating the
celebrated raid on the White Hmi-e. at an
earlier eriod of the war. It is difficult
to conceive that the feat would be attempt
ed without positive previous knowledge of
just where they were going and just the
amount or oppo? ition likely to he met
with. It is believed hereabouts that
guide accompanied them, who knew
n vh about the condition of a flairs at
Moi-cersbuig and ChamWiburg as the
citizens of these towns themselves, and
perhaps more.

been telegraphed to j on.
, The cavali v, about three thousand in
number (although accounts difler as to
their strength, some parties insisting there
were not more than seven hundred of
them,) and six pieces ot' artillery, crossed
the Potomac at Hancock or Clear Sprint?,
on Friday morning and proceeded at once
to Jiercersuurg, without commit tini; anv
depredatioua, or in lhe least degree mter-
lering with the inhabitants along the
route, it evidently lieing their intention,
at the outset, to spare the persons and
property of private citizens, horses except
ed. In fact this was communicated by
some of them to parties iu Chaiubersburg.
They entered Mercersburg about noon, to
the great astonishment tt the citizens,
who at first thought it was a body of
Union troops. No damage was done at
Mercersburg, with the exception of press
ing a numlier of horses, there being no
railroad det, public workshops or Gov
ernment atoll's in the town. 'I hey pass

near the town just before dark.
hie of their first acts was to plant three
pieces of artillery on a hill back of the
town; after which a detachment of fifteen
men were sent in:o the town, leariiig u
flag of truce, and requesting to see the
chief personages or authorities, slating
that they had an ample force at hand, mid
that the town must be surrendered or
Mihelled, at the same time that guns were
in position lor that puijose. Hon. A. K.

entrance, however, a number of the mili

OCCUPATION OF CHAMBERSBURG.
The town was fairly occupied about
seven o'clock iu the evening. Shortly
afterward a large lKirtion of them niuile
directly for the warehouse and cars, in j
which were stored a great quantity ot
Government goods, consisting principally
of uniforms and a small quantity of boots.
.Not long afterward, the whole town was
converted into one vast dressing room.
On every hotel porch, at every corner,
On the great portion of the street door

and throwing their own wurn-out and
faded garments into the street. 1 n many
instances, one man would ensconce Ins
pedestals in two or three new pair of
pants, as many coats, and with the same
number of caps hanging about hin. 1 he
streets became full ot dirty rebel clothing.
It is a noticeable fact that many T them
had on Union uniforms when they entered
the town, and a number of their horses
were marked 'U. S."
i
CAPTURE OF HORSES. &C.
During the night, until daybreak, a por
tion of them scoured the country around
in quest of horses, and captured about six
hundred. Ten of the number belonged to
the Hon. A. K. McClure, and were fine
animals. Among the horses taken was a
celebrated black stallion, owned b some
gentlemen in Chambersburg and aluel
at $1,200. It is a remarkably large and
tine animal, and had quite a reputation in
the surrounding country. The rebels fed
their own horses at the corn-fields around
Chambersburg. The road for five or six
miles toward Hurrisburg is strtwn with
corn-stalks that were gathered in the
fields and brought to the edge of the road
for the horses. -
CONDUCT OF THE REBELS IN CHAMBERING.
The horses of those that remained in
the town were ranged along the streets,
facing the sidewalks, and remained there
for the night, the riders lying around in
different directions. 1 1 is not known that
they made any attempt to enter a single
private house. The taverns were all
visited directly after they arrived, and a
considerable quantity of whisky was pun
ished, for which payment was generally
proffered in Confederate scrip. The men
were, as a general thing, friendly, and
even socially disposed toward the inhab
itants, entering into conversation with
the citizens in the taverns, barber shops.
4c. In one instance one of t hem entered
tavern in which were several citizens,
and slightly hesitated ot the door. Some
one remarked "Come in, we won't hurt
vou." ' Where-upon he entered, remark
ing, "Well, perhaps not; but some of you
Yankees lie so."
With the exception of the occurrences
above related, the night was quietly spent
Preparations for leaving the town were

the warehouse in which Government
stores were kept, the machine shop, and
train laid to the powder magazine at the
warehouse. The stolen horses were got
together, a large Government wagon with
four horses and two or three ambulances,
found in the town, were well filled with
military clothins. lc, and each cavalry
man had a quantity of clothing piled up
before and behind him, on his horses, in
many instances the pile reaching np to
his chin.
Three locomotives and the same num
ber of passenger cars belonging to the
Cumberland alley Hailroad were then
utterly destroyed, the buildings stated
above were fired and totally consumed.
They waited long enough to see that the
destruction would be complete, and at 8
o'clock in the morning the whole party
left the town, each man and horse a small
sized clothing establishment.

Talks about Health.
EATING TOO MUCH.
Ten persons die prematurely of loo
much loou where one dies of drink.
Thousands cat themselves into fever,
bowell complaint, dyspepsia, throat affec
tions, and other maladies.
Some years ago the residents of a Ger
man city were one morning wild with ex
citement. Everybody was poisoned.
The doctors were flying in every direct
ion. Water was the only thing they had
swallowed in common. The reservoir
was examined. In one corner a paper of
deadly poison was found.
The stomach is the reservoir which
supplies the whole body. A fever, an in
flammation, or some other malady ap
pears. Look to the reservoir. There you
will find the source of the disease.
1 am acquainted with the table habits of
a large number of persons. They have
all eaten too much food. Nearly all, too
much in quantity, but all have eaten
food too highly concentrated. Yester
day, I saw a dyspeptic friend eating pears
at a fruit stand. He said, with a smile,
"I go a few Bartletta half a dozen times a
day." Certain dietetic reformers seem to
think if thev eat coarse bread and ripe
tVii'i neck is all risht. Fine flour
bread, pies, and cakes, are great evils.
A friend, who has decayed teeth, dys
pepsia, torpidity of liver, and a disagree
able eruption all produced by excessive
eating of improper food, declared in res
to mv remonstrance, "But 1 never
eat. more than I want." Every person
wants the quantity he is in the habit or
l, . . H i. i .
eating, ir he could digest wen two puuuus
a day, but eats four pounds, he wants the
Utter nuantitv. A man may want a glass
of snirits on rising. He is in the habit of
driukins at that time.
The body is strengthened by what it
can digest and assimilate. Every ounce
more than this is mischievous. The large
eater is always hungry. The man who
eats just enough Butters little from hun
ger. Pardon a word of my own experience.
During many years' practice of my pro
fession, I had but little muscular exercise.
ate enormously. An hour's postpone
ment of my dinner was painful. Now I
labor very hard several hours a day in my
gymnasium. I do not eat more than a
third the quantity of former years. Now
can omit a dinner altogether without
inconvenience. 1 have lost twenty pounds
in weight, but feel a great deal younger.
(More"than half of ti.e thin people would
gain flesh by eatiug less.) 1 have only
one dietetic rule from which I never de
part. This rule, kind reader, I commend
to vou. Always take on your plate, before
you begin, everything you are to eat. Thus
you avoid tneuessert, ami are prrnj
not to eat . too much. This simple rule
has been worth thousands to me. Dio

Matters in Dixie.
A Mr. Montgomery, the business man
ager of the Yicksburg Whig, arrived in
t'airo yesterday, by the steamer Belle
Memphis. At the "time our fleet went be
low to exchange the prisoners from Camp
Douglas, Mr. Montgomery visited the
lioats and endeavored to secure passage
for himself ami family to St. Ixmis. Cap
tain l.ulnre, who had charge of the trans
ports, refused to bring him away without
the consent of the Confederate authorities
as it would be a manifest violation of the
fla of truce. This consent was sought by
Mr. Montgomery, but he failed in obtain
ing it. finally he received permission to
come throueh the lines via Hernando to
Memphis. He at once availed himself of
this leniency, and like George Augustus
:5a la, ntaue a journey uue -uou.
reaching Memphis last Mouduy, he was
arrested as a spy and confined iu the Irv
ing pii;n for twenty-four hours. At the
end of ihr.t time the authorities became
convinced that he had visited the Feder
al limits in a far different capacity, and
he was r.-lea-ed from custody.
According to Mr. Montgomery's story,
the Confederacy is not an Arcadia, lo
Vicksburg, the"foll'wing price ruled at
the time he left.
Chickens, 2 each ; flour per bar
rel ; bacon, oi'c jer iound ; ham, 3oc;
common shoes, such as are furnished to
our army at 1 2j, brought :Si0 in Vicks

and silk oods, none in market. Whis
key $15 per gallon ; butter 75c per pound,
and not of a quality that would command
a premium iu the New York market
Corn $1 25 per bushel.
As an onset to theabove, wages areTery
high, but not enough so to counterbal
ance such exorbitant rates. Common day
laborers readily get five dollars for one
day's work ; draymen receive $1 5 for
each load transported, in pl.-ice of 50c, the
price for such service before the war;
clei ks.in mercantile houses are paid twice
as much as in the North, but find it ditti
cult to keep up appearances on the sti
enu.s thev receive. Negro labor is being
substituted for white lalor wherever it is
practicable. The war has swallowed up
nearly all the able-bodied white men, and
Sambo is now permit ted to do various
things that formerly were outside his line
of duty. The doctrine of the Enquirer
that this is a white man's war, is most
. 1 i 1 . . - X . L. I 1..
clearly proved by the complete anil
thorough nature of the conscription in
Dixie. .
Mr Montgomery gives some interesting
information concerning the lombardment
of Vicksburg by the Federal fleet in July
last. When our fleet tooK position aoove
and below Vicksburg there were less than
5,(100 men in the defenses, and at no time
were there more than S.tmO within forty
miles of the city. When Farragut's fleet
attacked the batteries all but two guns
were silenced, and had Gen. V illiams
land force made an assault it would have
found no difficulty in carrying the posi
tion. The Confederate commanUers iook-

Women are never bal.L except by dis
ease; they do not wear close hats and
caps. Men never lose a hair below where
the hat touches the head, not if they
have been bald for twenty years: the
ciose caps hold the heat and persperation;
thereby the hair glands liecome weak,
and the hair falls out. What will restore
it? Nothing, after the scalp becomes
shiny. But if, in process of falling out
or recently lost, the following Is the best:
Wash the" head freely with cold water,
once or twice a day ; wear a thoroughly
ventilated hat. This is the best means to
arrest the loss, and restore what is suscep
tible of restoration. What will beautify a
woman's hair ? Whatever will invigorate
the hair glands, t ils and most other ap
plications debilitate the hair glands ;
cold water Is best. At first, the head

What h.vs been Averted. The defeat
of the Rebels, says the Albany Keening
Journal, has prevented the loss of Mary
land, the invasion of Pennsylvania, and
the beleaguerment of the National Capi
tol, the recognition of the South by for
eign powers, and the disgrace of the Na
tion. What victory ever averted more
disastrous results?
The quest ion. "What beeome of all the
pins?" is partly answered by one of the
papers in Birmingham. England. An old
sewer in that city, just opened for repairs
for the first time in many years, was found
to be paved with a deposit of countless
millions of pins, compacted into a mass
as hard as the slag from a blast furnace.
Every sewered town would probably fur
nish a similar spectacle.

We are not sent here to do merely some

Heart Power.
A man's force in the world, other thing
being equal, is just in the ratio of the
force and strength of his heart. A full-heai-ted
man is always a jowerful man ;
if he be erroneus,. then he is powerful for
error; if the thing is in his heart, ho is
sure to make it notorious, even though it
may by ' a downright falsehood. Let a
mail be ever so ignorant, still, if his heart
be full of love, to a cause, he becomes a
powerful man for that object, because he
has heart power, heart foice. A man
may be deficient iu many of the advanta
ges of education, in many of those mcei
lies which are so much looked upon in
society ; but once give him a good strong
heart, that beats hard, and there is no
mistake about the iower. Let him have
a heart that is full up to the brim with
an object, and that man will do the object,
or eLe he will die gloijou.lv defeated, and
will glory in his d-Ieat. Heart is icr.
