The Battle Field of Seven Pines.
[From the Richmond Enquirer.]
A correspondent, who look a trip on th
York River railroad during the lute, tears in
that oity, given I lie following picture of the
old battle field of "Seyen Pine. :"
There waa really much of interest to the
Writer in thii little trip. After . paaaing
through the picturesque and knolly country
on thia aide of Richmond, with here and there
a eras: of fortiHcatiom with it, black andaat-
hKeguna relieved (iguinit the-ky, th, road
lead, into the low and sombre field, which
border the Chickehominj. Here it akirta the
lauiout battle field of "Seven Pinea ;" and
hers were a hundred objecta of interest to one
who for the firat time , aince the day when
they were veiled iu the . imoke. viaited thia
gloriou, locality,
Ihe battle held atretchet on both aide, of
the railrond, with a fringe of low timber form
ing a melancholy border. The field, looka
deaolate enongh. Its furze is probably yet
stained whs blood, and tha oncolbned bones
of men are mingled everywhere with iu soil.
We were shown the points where the firs of
the battle bad been concentrated. At one of
these fourteen marks ol makiry fire wars'
counted in a tree not much thicker than a
man's thigh. In a little bottom near by Mr
Mctnrhuid related that not less than 200
dtud Yunkeea were found after the Battle,
packed in their gor. Home weeks ago a man
driving a plow over thia part of th, field, ran
ua point into me oeit ol a dead xankee, and
resurrected very summarily some portion ol
hi, remains.
But more interesting than the ghastly iu
venire of carnage, wer, the yet visible marks
of ibe immense destruction of store, by ths en
my. Mountains of provisions wer, burned
here, and there are vet to bo seen along the
roud apolB black with the charred remain, of
coHue. For day, after ihe battle vaat spoils,
utterly ancared for by our- authorities, wxre
left to whoever chose to gather them.. .The
oltioera of the railroad were to conacientiou,
to anticipate the government in the appropri

The Financial Situation.
The Washington correspondent of tba New
York World, ba, the following: . .
" Much uneasiness is felt in administration
circles respecting the condition of the nation
al bnancea. Another large issue of currency
is now probable, aince it ia felt that even witi
tb amount now out, it is impossible to pre
vent gold going to 200 and upward, and on,
or two hundred million, more will not make
matters much worse. The government ia now
apending two mitiiona per day. Iu receipt,
1'iosa loan,, taxee, and custom, are lea, that
on, million per day. The ten forty loan does
not sell, because people feel that they have
already lent tbe government a much at they
can, without pulling "too many egga in a bas
ket," and the national debt ia now mounting
up ao rapidly that the most sanguine begin to
admit that it can never be paid, bot that tb,
best that can be hoped for is, that it will be
only partially repudiated by being funded ia
a government bond bearing three per cent,
interest The tqnabblea in Congress over th
presidency are delaying, and may finally de
feat ail action upon the tax bills; and without
aid from some source the national treasury
will be bankrupt in a few weeks. Such are
the conflicting interests at work, and such th,
tear ol member, of Congress of the effect up
oa their aapiration, of increased taxation,
that thr is no probability that any tax bill
will b, put in operation until after th, presi
dential election Mr. Chaas will suspend th,
sale of gold certificates about the first of May,
and again demand gold lor dnliea. It ia nn
eertaia ae yet whether tbe 'tadpole' note, will
be iaaued to government creditor, or the 'legal
tender' form be adopted to supply a deficiency
that haa been inevitable."

The Wine Merchant and the
Cobbler.
Trans'ated from the French.
A poor cobbler lived next door to a retail
wine teller, who, the better to draw th eon,
out of Ihe pockeU of bis neighbors, put up a
splendid gilt tign, with tbe name, of ths
moat famous winea upon it at full length. Now
this waa u terrible temptation to tbe cobbler,
who; however, the better resisted it, as he did
not know how to read. But not content with
the gilt sign, the wine teller bud two bunche,
of ripe, tempting grape, painted to the life,
and (Oat beneath two goblets running over
with win. , Thia is readable, and the poor
cobbler', mouth watered. It waa, however,
ia vain ta reaist, for he found himself every
moment trying to find some excuae for turn
ing bia eye, towards hie neighbor' a ebop, and
at last in be goes. "Four sous can't kill a
body, " thought be, and two tumbler, full of
wiu, were soon under bia jacket tatit wa,
the next day and the next, but one day he
happened to have no money. 4 '
"ho neigbbor," (aid Ihe wins seller "you
don't lake a drop lo-day ? "
"Why, to tall th truth," replied the cobbler,
"I would if I had tb change." , .
"Never mind," aaid the wine aeller, "com
and take a drink, yon can pay me aoro other
tims." . j,.- . . . , ; x
But tbe cobbler's paying time never came,
and the wino seller dunned him over and over
and over again and got nothing bat ptomueg;
the cobbler driuking every day as usual, for
it is a pity to lose ao good a customer,"
thought the wine aeller. Everybody know)
(which "everybody" means all one's, acquain
tance) that on Sunday all Paria, high and low,
dreaa in their best, and find amusement where
they can. Now, our cobbler'a beat anit was a
gray coat with plated buttons, aky blue panta
loons, shining boots, and a white hat, and tbe
merciless wine teller found means to get tbs
latter, togetliw with the grey coat with plated
button,, into his poseeation, and (wore that
he would not give them np until he was "paid
ecu.- Tbe cobbler prayed, bogged, enlroai.il
iiimto relcaae them but for that day, for he
had contracted to dance tbe firat cotillion, with
weetbeart, and was engaged to dine at hi,
couein's bot it would bot do; ths win nalier
bid him go about hi, buaiueaa, which tbe cob
bler litterally did, lor be went home and be
gan to work and siug rrith all hie might, to
drown ths noiae ef his neighbor's violin , and
at night hs went to bed aa melancholy aa anv
cobbler in Pari,. "La vengeance tit leplaeir
dee deux," ,ay, the proverb, add oar cobbler
awoke tbe next morning as gay aa ever, for
he had thought of a way to avenge himself.
He threw out before hia door a few - brta of
bread which hi, oeghbor's fowls wry kindly
picked up. -;
The next day the same thing with the tame
success, and tbe thin) and fourth day tha
fowla were willing lo enter hi, tbop, and tava
him th trouble of feeding without. No aooner
were all within, than the folws were priaonere,
and tbe cobbler fell to work and filled SI pil
low case with feather,, which ha plucked
clean off the poor creatures, one by one, and
sent them perishing home naked as they were
born. One sleeps well on a good couacience ;
but the cobbler found bia pillow of rnveng
quite aa soothing, lor he slept aoundly npon
it The win aeller, however, toon woke him
with a loud knocking, "tlal'oa, neighbor,
somebody haa been picking my fowla, and they
tay they were aeen coming out of your tbop.
. "Pray, neighbor, who told yon ao ? " asked
tbe cobbler.
"Why, the apple-woman and baker's wife I"
''They ar rigbt," aaid th cobbler.
"May I presume to ask who plucked Siy
fowla ? said the wins seller.
"No presumption at all," replied the cob
bler, "you may ask."
"And can you tell me who plucked them 7"
"Nothing eauier. I did."
"What, you ?" , ,
"Yes."
"And may I aak yoa why yon took tbe liber
ty to uudreia my fowls T ' . . ,. ,;
"Certainly you may, and I will answer
Ton tnust know that for something' less than
a week, your fowl, bave lived at my expense,
witbout paying a aous, aud that ia th reason
why I undressed' them, as you call it. When
get my pay for my bread, they aha II have
their feathers." - I
"But this horrible cruelty," said ths wins
eller.
''Not more than undressing me laet Son
day," aaid the cobbler. . ,. j
"But wbat hav, you dona with the feath

" Made a capital pillow."
"Tbea I'll see yoa," aaid the wine-seller.
"l)aa yon please'" replied tbe cobbler
and how the auit will end, nobody know, not
even the lawyers.
