THUBSDAT, DECEMBER 11,1853.
“CON TO SELF US A BET.”
The following verses, by Mr. Stitt Jenkins, ad
dressed to the working men of Victoria, have been
posted on the walls and boardings of Melbourne:
A ** Lancashire Lad” has been writing
Long letters at home to the press—
He tells how Americans fighting
TT»a plunged in the direst distress
The men and the woman and children—
The hands of the mill and the pit;
Heart broken and famished they wander,
And cry “ Con yo help us a bit.”
Ho more at the bells cheery ringing
Wc hurry away to the mill;
At onr labor no longer we're singing,
The loom and the shuttle are still;
Lord, lead us not Into temptation.
To Thee in onr sorrow we cry.
O stretch forth Thine arm o'er onr nation,
Send succor, or thousands mast die.
C’on yo help ns a bit” oh I our brothers
Who far from old England have fled!
Con yo help the poor fathers and mothers,
Atd children that perish for bread;
Con you help us across the wide ocean,
For all kinds of work we arc fit;
Dear friends, with the wildest emotion.
We cry *• Con yo help us a bit.”
We arc willing to work—oh, how willing,
But work can no longer be bad.
And gone is our very last shilling,
And hunger is driving us niad.
Ali! think of our sad desolation.
And say con yo help ue to flit.
From wretchedness, woe. aud starvation,
Con yo help us. deaf sisters, a bit!
To yon. oh. our sisters, we’re crying—
Con you spare us some help from your store ?
Alas! we arc starving and dying.
And your eyes ’shall behold us no more.
Ah! say can you revel in riches.
Or peacefully sleep on your bed.
While thousands of Lancashire witches
Are begging for morsels of bread ?
la it true—the fine tales they are telling
Of rivers and mountains of gold ?
And that in the laud where you're dwelling
Ip room for the young and the old ?
Thai there, in contentment reclining,
Each man ‘neath his fig-tree may sit.
While we with grim hunger are pining?
Oh! try; *• Con yo help us a bit!”
The above should appeal as strongly to the
humanity of our own people as it did to
those among whom it was posted. We re
joice that the benevolence of America is
doing something—may it do a thousand times
more for the starving people of Lancashire.

LETTER.
My Dear Friend; I want to say, .first of
nil, that this letter is wrllicu to you. It may
be that I uever saw your face, and 1 11103' never
meet you as long as I live; but if you are a
soldier, lighting i«r the Union and the Consti
tution, Hove you like a brother; and if you
are sick, I should like to have a quiet chat
with you by means of this letter, that will
cheer you up and help yon to get well again.
I wish I could come and sit down beside you,
instead of sending you this printed letter. I
think 1 could do more in that way than by
writing. 1 went into the hospital at Mound
City very soon after you men did that grand
thing at Tort Uonclson; and as I went "down
one of the wards, I saw one young fellow
looking very sad. I went to his bedside, and
he said, “ Mister, I wish yon would set down
and talk a piece"; so I sat down and began to
talk, first about Donelsou, and the bat
tle, and how he got hurt; but I
soon found out that he wanted to
talk about home, and then we had a real good
chat. He told meaboui his home ou the prai
rie, and about his folk, and I wrote a Idler
fur him to his father and mother, and a. few
lines i o some one that he called Dea» Aman
dic,” and then we shook hands, and X went
aw ay. Well, it was a wonder to see how that
talk*helped the boy: he seemed to be ever so
much the better for it, and i have no doubt at
all but he was bettor, because he was more
cheerful and hopeful than he was before, and
tlial is a great thing when a man is sick: I
think it is half the battle. Howl should
dreariy love to sit down beside 3*oll and
talk to you just in the same way, if you arc
sick aim t-ad. I know soldiers like *to talk
about their homo, and their folks. It docs
them good whether they are sick or well, but
most of all when they arc sick. There is a
likeness that can be carried about an u man’s
heart, which has far more life in ibllian a pho
tograph. We leave our home ami wife*and
children, or mother and sisters, but wc carry
them with us too wherever wc go, and they
help us to he better men ILun we could be
without them.
There is :i {ouclilugr story ou this point in
the hisioiy of the last rebellion in India.
When the war broke out. life rebels invested
OUC fort iiWaV 1-auk- b» xnu
ctucuilers of the fort were few, and the
enemy numerous, but the men fought like
lions,* not only for duty, and the honor
of a soldier, but also because they had their
wives and children in fort with them, and the
rebels fought like fiends to get at them, day
after dr.v.'but siiU ibvy could not lake the
fort. Provisions got low inside, and the water
la gan to give oul, bul still the men held on.
Tlic General sent a detachment to their relief,
but thev had to march a long way under a
burning Indian sun. When they came to the
fori the rebels made a desperate effort to drive
them back, but tbe\ r cm the rebels to pieces
and rushed into the fori. The soldiers, all
(bin and worn, stood ready to welcome them
with their wives and children b} - their sides.
And the story* is. that the moment those
great, rough soldiers saw the lit
tle ' children, they ran up to
dam and caught them in their arms and be
gan to cry like children themselves. They
could stand the heavy tramp through the
burning Indian sun. They could face the en
emy and drive him iike chaff before the wind,
hut Ihe sight of little children broke them
down, because, I suppose, every one of them,
had a picture of such little o*m,s in his own
heart, that he earned with him wherever he
went.
A soldier is commonly a rough fellow. He
leads a rough lift*, lie has a great many
rough things’!o try him. Ii does not help
a man, to be away from his home, his
mother and sisters, or wife and children.
It hurls him. He grows coarse tinder
it, and careless. He says things that he would
be ashamed to let a woman hear him say, be
cause there is no woman about. Still, I be
lieve a great many soldiers are like a Septem
ber chestnut. The outside is hard,and sharp,
and shut up, but the inside is soft, and sweet,
and good.
■\Yell, now, my friend, I do hope you will
cot strong and well, and go back to that dear
old place again when I Ids’war is over. I tell
vou there is a groat deal of love waiting for
vou In those hearts, more than they ever put
into their letters. They think of you every
day. and pretty much alt day long. I meet
nimhe'E and sMors and wives, all the time,
wik> have sonsandbroiluTS and husbands in the
army, and Uls wonderful to me to sec
lU:h! that is in their eyes, and the color that
that tinges their cheek, and the tones of pride !
and love in their voices, and they mention the
name of the dear one who has gone out to
litrlit for them, and for his country. I can
si.c very clearly how they feel about it—they
, feel that honor is better than comfort; Unit
to be true in danger is more than to ho
I false and safe; that there is a love in a woman
! fur a man that is better than the love which.
' would keep him at home—a love which bids
him go out and defend the country she loves
so well, and the cause for which Ehc is ready
to die.
And X want to toll you, too, that
you may have a far better chance
io get well than you think you
have. When a man is sick, he is almost sure
to look on the dark side, to think he is worse
than ho really is. Now I have been a great
deal in the hospitals, and have noticed that
the cheerful men are sure to fight through the
best. 1 knew a soldier in one of the hospitals
away out in Missouri, who told me he had
been so sick that the doctor told him he was
sure he would die. But he told the doctor
that he vi as sure he would not die, and he kept
his word. He got well, and then the doctor
had to give in, and that man was one of the |
cheerful sort. I find it is good when I feel
eact down to look the thing square iu the face
and to sec what it really means. It may be
all right, or it may be all wrong. Now sup
pose wc try to reckon np how you stand, and
then see whether you ought not to feel very
cheerful and bright.
1. Are you a true man ora traitor? Touare
a true man. When this foul treason shook its
rattles and reared its head to strike at the
breast of our great mother, and she called
upon her true and brave sons to come, as they
loved her, and defend her life at the peril of
their own, you, my friend, were one of the
men that sprang to her rescue. Tour own
home was very dear to you, but your country
was dearer than your home. Tou loved your
mother and sister, or jour wife and children;
God knows how much you loved them: hut
your own mother country, the country that
gavcyoubiith.ortbatadoptedyouas one of her |
own sons.shchad the first claim,and you heard
her cry for help, and answered it by putting
your own stout heart between your country
and her foes. Tour own life was dear to you.
It was said long ago, and indeed some men
say now, that alfthat a man has he will give
for his life. But it was the devil who said it,
:ind you have shown by your deed that it was
a lie. A mere base coward will give all that
he has for his life. But you will notgiveyour
self-respect, or your liberty, or, above all, the
honor of your country for your life. Tondcr
i-s a bit of bunting floating over the camp; we
call it the “stars and stripes,” “the dear old
fl a <v ” “{be red, while, and blue;" one by one
those stars have come up in the firmament of |
our nation from thirteen to thirty-four. Now
this foul treason tries to tear those stars out
of their places, and you have fought to keep
them iu their places until you arc crippled or
broken down by sickness. Here you arc a
sick man, and that piece of bunting seems to
be only a small matter, but it stands for tbe
honor and pride of America, and if a traitor
should try to tear it down, and trample it in
the dust, you would crawl out and shoot him.
down If you died the next minute, vou know
you would, you could not help it.'And so I
say you are a true man, not a traitor, and you
have a right to be proud and glad of that, and
i to keep a stout heart through it all.
2. Arc you a maxi loved or neglected? Tou
are a roan loved. Not only do the old folks at
home love you, or the wife and children, but
the whole country is aflame with love to every
brave man who stands in her defense. Tens
of thousands of women, from Eastport to San
Francisco, are working for you everyday with
a most touching earnestness, and sending
their stores to our noble Sanitary Commission
to be given to you; and os they work they
think about you, and talk about you, and if
you came and stood in tbe doorway where
ihev are at work, and said, “ lam a soldier of
the'Kepubllc, lam sick and need nursing,”
you will find in that company exactly as
many nurses as there were women, and not
one but you would think might be your
mollicr or sister for her tenderness and care!
And the whole loyal country loves yon and
honors you! The citizen soldier, if he be a
brave, true man, Is the peer of the foremost
men in the State! The upper ten has lost its
old meaning. It means every man now that
has sprung out to the rescue of the old flag,
and is in his place, sick or well, alive to light,
orlhllen with his face to the foe.
But though you know that you arc so
loved and cared for by not only those at home
but by the good everywhere, you may fear
that God docs not love you or care for you.
You sometimes think how bad you have
talked or done, and can hardly believe that
the good father can care for you. You fear
that he would not he glad to give you what
you need, and that he would not help you to
grow better and be better. I say, he desires
more to bless you than you can desire to be
blessed. He is more willing to give than you.
can be to receive. The poorest, the saddest,
the most thoughtless when they seek him like
little children, trusting in his goodness, are
received home by' him. Let us see, my
brother, if it is not so. Suppose you had a
particular flower, and wanted to save the
seed. But in the summer the canker and
worms got at it, and there was only just one
grain left, would you throw that one grain
away when the stalk was dead? No; you
would take more care of that one grain than
if you had a bushel; and you would plant it
in the spring and try again. Now, if you will
find a man who Las not one grain of good in
him, I shall think be is in danger of being
entirely lost, because there is nothing in him
that is worth saving. But I never found such
a man in my life, never. Every man has some
grain of good in him, and just as Christ tells
us that the shepherd cares more for the one
lost ship, until he finds it, than he cares for
the ninety and nine that are safe, so will God
care more for that one grain of good in you
and me than more in better men, ay, and
plant it and nurse it in a newsoiland in anew
spring time, when this dead stalk shall fill
away from it, because there Is not an
other seed just like it in all the creation, and
because God loves everything that he has
made. He loves you better than your own
father, or mother, or wife loves you—better
than you love your own children, if you have
any. ",
■VVc had a boy in one of our Western regi
ments who was what you might call :i hard
case. To walch him, you would think he did
not care for anything or for anybody; and if
yon had asked him, I suppose he would have
said he didn’t. Well, in one of our first bat
tles he was shot, and the moment the ball
struck him he cried out, u O, my mother!”
and then died. Now there you see was the
grain of good. Ido not know a thing about
that young man's history except what he told
then, but that is a key to all the rest. lie was
a bright,mischievous little fellow in his ’West
ern home, and gave Ids mother a great deal of
trouble. But she used to get him to kneel
down at her knee before he went to bed, and
taught him to say, “Our Father which art iu
Heaven.” When he grew up, ho was wild,
and noisy, and reckless, but his mother
held on *to him, and loved him through
it all. One day, after the war broke
out, lie came home and said, “ilother, I’ve
’listed.” and his mother wept ; but she did
not ask him not to go, because she knew lie
was to light in a noble cause. And when he
went away she had a little bundle of things
for him—shirts and stockings, and things that
she had made herself—and then she kissed
him and he left her. But when he stood on
guard In the night, or lay in his tent, he
thought of his mother tenderly. And when
he fell into his place before the battle, he
thought of his mother, and his heart grew
strong; and “Motuek” was the last word on
his Upe. Now did tliat boy’s mother love him
right through? Tes. If she had had the
power would she have been Instantly at his
t-ide when he fell? You know she would.
Will she love him when she meets him iu an
other world? Yes, belter than ever. Ami is
God o\\r Father in Heaven less tender in his
love than our father and mother on earth ? 1
say no. The love of the best Cither and mo
ther in the world is no more than a poor
shadow of the love of God. God is love, and
he loves us right through. He loves us here,
he will love us yonder. He loves us now, he
will love ns forever. Death makes no differ
ence with the love of God. When the body is
dead, then God takes that one good grain that
is in us all, and plants it again hi better soil
than this, and under a kindlier sky, and be
will care for ns and see to our growth forever
and forever.
And so I say cheer up. Ton are a true,
brave man. You have fought iu a noble
eav.se. America is proud of her sons. Ten
thousand heart- beat fitter for your holy
devotion. Those that knew you and loved
yon before, love you now with a love deeper
than ever. Mothers say. This Is my son;
sisters say, this 5s my brother; wives say, this
is my husband; children say tins my father:
ar.d thd whole loyal nation says, this"is a sol
dier of the Republic, a defender of the right,a
man to stand beside the men of S VU, our sol
dier and our son. And Ido hope my friend,
if you hare been a wicked man, when you get
well you will take a now start. Nay," take it
now you arc sick. If von have done a good
“ deal of hard, coarse swearing, you will feel
how wrong it is to speak so oT Him who loves
yon so wen, and you will drop it entirely. It
will do you uo good. It will do yon harm. If
you do not take cave, you will be shocked
when you gel back home, to find how you

Take care •what you cal and drink, both now
mid when you gel into camp again; some men
diglhdr graves with their teeth, and some
burn their inside out with bud whisky, just as
much as If they had cwallowoed melted lead.
Keep as clean *;is you can. Some men seem
to think that a man is Vikd an egg, that you

memorial Against tbo Reprieve of any
of the Indians.
■Washington - , D. C.. Dec. 5.1563.
The following memorial lias been presesent
cd to the President:
To the President of the United States:
We hare learned incidentally that yon in
tend to pardon or reprieve a large majority of
the Indians who Lave been condemned for
their x>articipation in the brutal masaacre of
onr people in the months of Atigusl and Sep
tember Inst. If this be your purpose, as rep
resentatives of that State wc beg leave most
respectfully to protest against it, and we do
so for the following reasons:
These Indiansarc condemned, most of them
upon the testimony of women, whom, they
had carried Into captivity, alter having mur
dered their fathers, husbands and brothers,
and who were treated by these Indians with a
brutalitv never known before in this country,
nor equaled iu the practices of the most bar
barous nations. There were nearly ninety
female captives; they were the wives and
daughters of our neighbors and friends. They
were intelligent and virtuous women—some of
them were wives and mothers—others were
voting and interesting girls.
These savages to whom you propose to ex
tend your executive clemency, when the whole
country was quiet and farmers were busily
engaged in gathering their crops, arose with
fearful violence, and traveling from one farm
house to another, indiscriminately murdered
till the men, boys and little children they
came to, aud although they sometimes spared
the mothers and daughters, they did so only
to hike them into captivity which was infinite
worse than death.
Mr. President, let ns state to you some facts
with which we fear you have not heretofore
been made acquainted. Theselndians,whom,a3
wc understand, you propose to pardon and sot
free, have murdered iu cold blood nearly or
quite 1,000 of our people, ravaared our fron
tiers fora distance of more than 150 miles
north and south, : and burned the homes of
more than 10,000 of our people. They seized
and carried into captivity nearly one hundred
women and young girls, and iu nearly every
instance treated them_ with the most
fiendish brutality. .To sliow you,
sir, the enormity of their out
rages, we beg leave to state a few facts
wiiich are well Known to our people; but del-
icacy forbids that we should mention the
names of the parties to whom we refer. In
one instance some ten or twelve of theselndi
aus visited the house of a worthy fanner, who
at the time was engaged with his sons in stack
ing wheat. They stealthily approached the
place where this honest farmer was at work,
and, seizing the opportunity, shot the Hither
and his two sons at the stacks. They then
went to the house, killed two little children in
the presence of their mother, who was quite
ill of consumption, and they took the sick
mother and beautiful daughter, thirteen years
of age into captivity. But this is not all, I
nor is it the most appalling portion
of the awful tragedy. Its horror is yet to he
I revealed. After removing these unhappy per
sons to a lodge which was some miles away,
these fiends incarnate, placing a guard over
the body of the wearied and exhausted moth
er, took her little furl outside of the lodge,
removed all her clothes, and fastened her
upon her hack upon the ground. Then they
commeuccd'tbc work of brutality upon the
body of this young girh One by one they vi
olated her person, unmoved by her cries, and
unshaken by the evident signs of her dissolu
tion. This work was continued until her
Heavenly Father relieved her from her suffer
ing. They left her dead upon the ground.
This outrage was committed within a few feet
of a sick and dying mother.
There is adother instance of a girl eighteen
years of age. "We knew her well before and
at the time ofher capture. She was as refined
and beautiful a girl as we have iu the State.
None had more or better friends; no one was
more worthy of them than she. She wo? taken
captive by the Indians. She was taken, her
; 1 arms tied behind her; she was me'ac fast to
the ground, and ravished by some eight or
ten of these convicts, before the cords were
unloosed from her hands. The girl fortunate
ly lives to testify against the wretches who
had thus violated her.
■Without being more specific, wc will state
that all, or nearly all of the women who were
captured were treated in this way.
Again, there was a little boy brought to
Lieutenant Paul, whose father and mother
had been murdered, whose life was spared as
a witness of the horrid massacre. His rteht
eye was cut completely out, it had fallen from
its socket, and had perished on his cheek.
His two little sisters, aged respectively six
and four years, were also saved, but inawfullv
mutilated condition; their tender arms had
been mangled with the savages’ knives, and
otherwise fearfully wounded and left on the
ground for dead.
Mr. President, there was no justification or
pretext even for these brutalities. We state
what we know, when we say that the Sioux
Agent, Major (] ilbraitli, has behaved faithfully
and efficiently for the welfare of these Indians.
The Government, as you know, has built a
house and opened a farm forevery one of these
Indians who would reside upon and culti
vate it.
. Missionaries, as our worthy Bishop can tes
tify, have labored zealously among them for
their spiritual welfare. There has been paid
to them yearly the interest upon §2,000,000.
Farming implements haye been purchased and
fanners have been employed by the govern
ment to improve and cultivate the land.
Thees Indians are called by some prisoners of
war. There was no war about it. It was
wholesale robbery, rape, murder. These In
dians were not at war with their murdered
victims. The people of Minnesota, Mr. Pres
ident, have stood firm by you and by your ad
ministration. They have given both yon and
it their cordial support. They have not vio
lated the law. They have borne these suffer
ings with a patience such as but few people
ever exhibited under such extremities. These
Indians are now at their mercy, but our peo
ple have not risen up to slaughter them, be
cause they believed that the would
deal wilhthem justly,
"We are told, Mr. President, that a commit
mittee from Pennsylvania, whose families are
living happily in their pleasant homes in that
Stale, hare called upou you and petitioned
you to pardon these Indians. "We have a high
respect for the religious sentiments of your
petitioners, but we submit that It is bad taste
—indeed, that it is entirely unbecoming them
—to interfere in matters with which they arc
so little acquainted, and which relate to the
security of our own x>eople.
Wc protest against the pardon of these In
dians, because, if it is done, the Indians will
become more insolent and criminal than they
ever were before, bcleivlug, as they certaialv
will believe, that the Great Father at Wasti
iugiou either justifies the act or is afraid to
punish them for their crimes,
Wc protest against it, because if the Presi
dent does not permit these executions to take
place under the forms of law, the enraged
people of Minnesota will dispose of these
wretches without law. These two peoples
cannot live together. We do not wish to see
mob law inaugurated in Minnesota, as it cer
tainly will be" if you force the people to it.
We tremble at the approach of such a condi
tion of things in our Slate—you can give us
peace, or you can give us lawless violence.
We pray you, Sir, in view of all we have suf
fered, and of the dangers which still await us,
let the law be executed, let justice be done
our people. With high respect, Sir,
M. S. Wilkinson,
Cyrus Aldrich,

General Scott
To the Editors of the National Intelligencer:
An official report of mine made to Presi
dent Lincoln, March. 30, 1861, on otir South
ern forts, was published on the 21st of Octo
ber last. To this es-President Buchanan re
plied at great length, in the same month. A
short rejoinder from me followed early iu
November, and here is another paper from
Mr. Buchauan, dated the ITth of the same
mouth, and on the same subject. A brief no
tice of this paper shall terminate my part in
this controversy.
Mr. Buchanan has intimated that I have
been actuated by a feeling of personal ill wifi
towards him. This is unjust. I had no pri
vate resentment to gratify. On the contrary,
I have well remembered the man}' official
courtesies received from him as well as from
Mr. Tloyd, both as Governor of Virginia and
Secretary of War; but to vindicate justice and
the truth of history is a paramount obligation.
1 had said that, with a view to the medita
ted rebellion. Secretary Ploy cl had ordered
115.C00 extra* stands of muskets and ritles
from Northern depositories to Southern
arsenals. To this Mr. Buchanan now replies
In substance: —1. That the transfers were
made under an order dated nearly a year be
fore Mr. Lineon’s election to the Presidency.
True; but if Mr. Buchanan has persuaded
himself that the revolt had not long before
been planned (dependent on the election of
«?.»/ Northern mat:) it is not likely that he
j will ever make a second convert to that onin
i ion. 2. He only gives 103,000 as the number
j of arms transferred, omitting the 10,000 ride-,
j 3. He says that the muskets (105,00b) were
i condemned, and that purchasers could not be
found for many of them at 82.50 each. Now,
here Is an official statement, made to me
eighteen months ago (just received from my
papers at Washington,) showing 65,<100 of
those arms were “percussion muskets,” prob
ably entirely new, and 40,000 others, termed
“muskets altered to percussion,” with 10,000
“percussion rifles”—not one of the 115,000
was ever “condemned,” but all precisely
like most of the small arms issued to
our troopt (regular and volunteer,) in
1S(J1. 4. Mr. Bncduman further intimate
those anus were tiansicmru. to in
gome degree, the deposits ainongthcdifferent
Slates, as if these had any State pride in
allowing *iora<ft to the properly of the United
States within their particular limits. If so,
whv not establish storage places In the great
Stales of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, within
which the United States has had no deposit of
anus and no arsenal? 5. Mr. Buchanan sup
poses me to brand the transferred arms with
the epithet “ stolen.” In my rejoinder to
him 1 nowhere used the term, because I knew
the transaction, though quietly conducted,
was officially recorded, and the freight paid
for by the United States, whose properly the
anus continued to be in their new deposjto-
lies.
Mr. Buclv.mau mixes up—perhaps I ought
rather to say .v- mx to confound —quite adiifer
cut class of anas with the foregoing, viz: the
quotas of anus distributed among the several
Slates under the annual appropriations to
wards arming the whole body of the militia
of the Union. Thus he says, “The Southern
States received in 1860 less instead of more
than the quotas of arms to which they were
entitled hy law.” This is most strange, con
trasted with information given to me last
vear, with and a telegram just received from
Washington and a"high officer —not of the
Ordnance Bureau—in these words and figures:
“Rhodelsland, Delaware, and Texas had
not drawn at the end of eighteen sixty (I860)
their annual quotas of arms for that year, and
Massachusetts. Tennessee and Kentucky only
in part; Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida,’ Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Kansas were, by the order of the Secretary of
War, supplied with their quotas for eighteen
sixty-one (1SC1) in advance, and Pennsylyania
and' Maryland in part.”
This advance of amis to eight Southern
States is alsuiliclent commentary by itself on
the transfer, about the same time, of the
115,000 muskets and rifles.
Iu respect to the heavy cannon ordered
from FiUsburg to the gulf of Mexico, Mr.
Buchanan has shown me that I was in error
in saying that their shipment was counter
manded in March instead of January, 1-SGI.
This was the only immaterial part of my
statement, fi»r I was correct in the declara
tions that I gave information to Mr. Secretary
Holt that the shipment had commenced, and
that he ordered the guns to be re-landed, and
i stopped the robbery. Winttklp Scoxx.

Xiitflc Mac at the Opera.
[From the Spirit of the Times.]
McClellan appeared at the opera on Mon
day evening last, and made rather a better
appearance than he did at Malvern Hill, On
this occasion he faced the music and stood
the lire of prepared applause—■while at Mal
vern he did nut stand at- aft. On the contra
ry, as soon as the troops were placed in Hue
of battle, he wheeled and rode away, and did
not stop till he housed himself safely on
board the Galena. To do McClellan Justice,
however, he Is a modest man, and. did not
want to appear at the opera, any more than
he did in the vile saltpetrlc atmosphere of
Malvern. The audience was “stocked" for
his reception; he was lodged in a side box,
and then half a dozen fellows with short canes
stationed themselves opposite, and at the fall
of the curtain; suddenly burst forth hi frantic
exclamations of “McClellan’s in that box!
“McCellaii’s in that box!” The premedi
tated three cheers did not take; but as the
hero of the Chickabominy stepped forward,
the New York Hotel stirred to its fall repre
sentation, a certain amount of aristocratic
cambric waved its perfume through the air,
audlltz Ciesar gravely bowed his recogni
tion. The parties with him were Prince John
Van Buren, Billv Dtmcan, Sam Barlow, and
patriots of that brand. It is somewhat sin
gular that Little Mac is seldom found in any
company of undisputed loyalty.

TEE BATTLE-FIELD!
The Right Kind of Testimony.
READ AND PONDER!
The special correspondent of the XewTorfe
Exitiess, who was with the tinny during the
campaign, in Maryland says of the recent
tallies
* *
This battle (Antletano has been the most sanguinary
of the war. and the only one fought with design and
upon military principles. iThe arrangement of our
corps—the over looking position of the commanding
General—the sending into action the right and the loft
—the closing up of the centre and final success—all ex
cites bcwlldt-ring admiration, and carries the mind to
the great fields of Aasterlltz and Wagrasn. fought by
Napoleon. Of all this have I spoken. The heart his
tory of such a conflict, purchased by the life and blood
of twenty thousand men. must be found in the hos
pitals. War has Its glories—bat It has Its ten thousand
demons in these human tortures, that make the eye
balls ache— the heart bleed—the lips palsy—and the
brain reel. Use sight is at first positively unendurable.
Tin* life-blood of some Is still trickling away In the si
lent calmness—while the dissevered limbs aad. maniac
brain of others give rise to sounds God grant I may
not again witness.
But yc mothers who now seek a son—or wife ft hus
band—or sister a brother—or sous a father—know and
be consoled that even now the hand of mercy is watch
ful. andbetter care Is bestowed upon your loved one
than might at first seem possible. It was In the hospi
tal where rested the gallant Hooker, that I learned the
history of those mythical words so often seen and so
little understood, *’S. T.—lSC'.*—X,'* Anything alleviat
ing the suiTerings and saving the lives of oar soldiers,
is a national blessing. I witnessed some astonishing
results from this article.
It is well known that the effects of gunpowder and
excitement Is tliirst. which, added to the loss of blood
In the wounded, creates the necessity- of a reviving
stimulant. In this particular hospital, the physicians
were allowing their patients to drink Plantation. Bit

wounded are most numerous here—thisdivUloa having

Tlie attention of the Musical Public Is respectfully
Invited to the very valuable improvement recently
made by 11. Worcester in the construction of the Piano
Forte, and for which letters patent have been granted.
Tills Improvement consists in dividing and hinging the
plate ot the instrument, the result ot which is' to dou-
li!e the volume and musical uualitv of sound and
slrer.glV.cn tK* middle tones of Vac scale, usually the
weaker portion of the piano. The favorable testl
moovof Mr. L. M. Gottschalk. who cartfullv tested
several Instruments made upon this principal, is as fol
low?;
with great interest the new improve
ment of Mr. Horatio Worcester, which consists in
hinging the plate of the piano-forte. I have playcdhis
new instruments, and found them to be far superior to
the others of the same scale having solid plates. I es
timate the volume of their tone to lie increased about
one hundred per cent, bv this invention.
"Their * singing* quality Is excellent. The upper
part of the keyboard is exceedingly brilliant, while the
ba«c is of a rich and powerful sonorousness.
