Dear Couture:—Once moro 1 take
my pencil—jibout an inch and a half
long~iii hand—resting on an old men.
orandum book, (that I have carried in
my pookot ever sinco tho war cour
men cod,) upon my knee for a writing
table— to inform you tliat we all who
linvo not beon killed in buttle,, nor
wounded, nor been lately sick—are
well, nnd hopo these few lines will
find you nnd all of your renders—ex
cept those few who have stopped the
Courier because a little more tlmn half
its cost is now charged for it—enjoying
the snmo blessing, liut these discon-
tinunnU may have good reasons for
their courso that are unknown to me,
so 1 hope they are; all “enjoying tho
snmo blessing.” And even it I lmd
not hoped bo, they would huve done
me grea> injustice, by supposing Hint 1
wished them ill. For at worst, I could
only linvo desired that they should
have felt a little kind of sheep-stealing
guiltiness when, every night, they re
view their czatlcrs of conscience.—
liut 1 didn’t go to say anything about
this matter, and now more than half'
wish 1 had not. liut “whut is wiit is
writ—would it worthh r.”
This letter was commenced with
the idea (in tho writer’s mind) of ac
counting lor the many errors that ap
pear iu these letters uftcr thoy arc
printed, utid this shall .now be done
in short metre. Thoy have nearly all
been written with only facilities as are
mentioned above; frequently under
very exciting circumstances; often
when tho writer was greatly fatigued,
and nearly always iu a hurry, so as to
be sunt oil’ by some opportune chance.
These being tlio circumstances, aud
tho chirogrnphy, always bad, made
worso by'using a pencil, instead of a
pen und ink, tlio real wondor is, not
that tlio printers havo made so many,
but so few mistakes.
If the reader inis persisted in going
through this long rigmaroilof u prelude,
ho—or she, as tlio case maybe—will
now surely conclude that the writer
bus mudo “too big a boo for a pony
for there is little matter of real inter
est to communieute, and this little can
bo expressed in u few linos.
Last Friday mottling we were some
what startled by learning that an order
hud been promulgated to company
uouimuuders "to allow no mou to leave
camp, as you muy be ordered to move
at a moment’s wurning.” This order
wus followed, about two hours after
wards, by .another “to cook two day’s
rations.” “Well, well, wlint is out
now t ’’ was tho common enquiry.—
The Surgeon came along directly and
.relieved tlio doubt by saying that he
had orders to- get a supply of splints
and builtkigeo and have ull tilings in
readiness for •‘field duties.” This was
rather a dumper on .tlio spirits of the
men; lor, as it is said, that the most
dauntless dislike to have thoir own
oofflns paraded before them, while
conscious, so tlio common run of sol
diers hate to sec tlio Surgeons scrap'

all they were last January; that they in

them before tiie return of spring, wo

How Rothschild Brought the Old
Lady of 1 hrcadneedle Street to Her Manners,
—An amusing adventure is related ns
having happened to tho Bank' of Eng
land, which liad committed the great
disrespect of refusing to discount a bill
of a large amount, drawn by Ansolm
Rothschild, of Frankfort, on Nathan
Rothschild, of London. The bank.had
haughtily replied "that they discounted
only their, oiyn bills, nnd not those of
pi-ivute persons.” But they had to do
with ono stronger than tiie bank.
“IVivale persons,” exclaimed Nathan
( fotliseliild,-wlien they reported to him
lie foot,, “private personsl” I will
make those gentlomon see what sort of
••private persons” we aro!” Throe
wcoks afterward Nathan. Rothschild—
who had employed the interval in gath
ering all tho £5 notos ho could procure
in England and on the Continent—
presented himself at the batik at tho
opening of tho office. He dt-oW from
his pocket book a £5 note, and they
naturally counted out fivo sovereigns,
at the same timo looking quito nston-
shod that tho Baton Rothschild should
havo personally troubled himself for
suoh a trifle. The Baron oxumincd ono
by ono tbo coins, and put them into a
little canvass bag, then drawing out
another note, a third, a tenth, a han-
droth v. he never pu t the pieces of gold
into tho bag without scrupulously ex
amining them, nnd, in spme instances,
trying them in- tiie balance, os he said,
“tho law gave him tlio right to, do.”—
Tho first pocket book being emptied,
and the first bag being full, he passed
them to his clerk, and recoiveda second,
and thus-continued till the close of tho
bank. The Baron had employod sovon
hours to change £21,000. But ns ho
had nine employ cos of his house on
zqged in the same manner, it resulted
,hat the house of Rothschild had drawn
£210,000 in.gold from tlio bank, and
that lie had so occupiod the tollers that
no other person could change a single
note.—Everything, which bears the
stamp of eccentricity lias alwoys ploasod
tho English. Thoy were, therefore,, the
first day very much amused at the little
pique of Baron Rothschild. They, how-
over, laughed loss ivhon thoy saw him
return- tlio next day at the opening of
tho bank, flanked by his 9 clerks, and
followed this time by many drays des
tined to carry away the 'specie.—They
iuughjad no longer when the king of
bankers said, with ironic simplicity:
“These gentlemen refuse to pay my
bills; lhave sworu uot to keep theirs.
