The Detroit Tribune publishes A
lengthy account of the adventuresofLieut.
Frank Graves, of the 61st ^New Y'ork-Infant
ry, who.came to that city several week.- ago,
iiini having a good supply oftlie “rhino.” ami
but little common sense, put on what is com
monly known as a “great many airs,’’ and who
boasted that Miss Lenham, of the Varieties
Theater, had accompanied him to an ice-cream
saloon, Ac., Ac. The .story culminates in the
Lieutenant getting down on his knees plead
ing drunkeness, and receiving a sound cow-
hiding. Miss Lenham plied the whip'*) rap
idly that the number of blows is disputed,
some baying counted over fifty and others as
high its seventy-five.
J^gf-Tbe forthcoming number of Harper's
Magt’zine, says the N. Y. Post of the lGtb,
will contain atv article on Jefferson Davis,
ritten by Major General Jordan, the chief
of skill'of General Beauregard. It is known
that Beauregard anil Davis i+id not agree well
ether; in this article General Jordan re
veals some curious particulars of the jiitherto
secret history of the war, and shows how
often DaTis was the marplot, who; by his
obstinacy, and his persistent adherence to
his personal, friends and relatives, defeated
the plans of Confederate generals. . General
Jordan aims to show hy examples that Datfis
was a man of narrow ideas, of no military
genius or foresight, and wedded to petty de
tails to the exclusion of large and compre
hensive views; and that.he carried into the
Confederacy and to Richmond with him all
the hates and loves of the old regular army.
We find the foregoing published in one-of
our Georgia exchanges. Wc bf.ve known
Gen. .fordan since the date when Gen. Beau
regard took command in the west, and
cannot accord to him that spirit *of impar.
tialitv which should characterise the historian
who undertakes to relath the differences be
tween the two distinguished personages
named. His statements should be received
with due allowance for his predilections in
favor of Gen. Beauregard. ,
In an address of Gen. Sickles at the
opening of the institute at New York, he
ypoke of the .'departments of the army as fol
lows :
It was in -the quartermaster’s department
that most -wonderful examples of energy,
precision, and force were displayed, for which
there is no parallel in military history. “If,"
said the speaker, “trains of the army of the
Potomac ulld been set in motion on a single
road toward Richmond, the head of the col
umn would have entered Richmond before
the rear,was out of sight of tlic Capitol at
Washington, in the quartermaster's and
ordnance departments at Nashville, in the
summer of 18(54, mbfe than fourteen thousand
mechanics and laborers were employed
in providin material for the armies
operating in General Sherman’s depart
rnent. The storehouses of the commissary
of, subsistence at the post contained
provisions for one hundred thousand men for
eight months, or twenty-four millions of ra
tions, besides,forage for fifty thousand hofSBi
for an equal period—that is to sav, one hun
dred and sixty-eight millions of pounds oats,
corn, and: hay. These stores, besides vast
numbers of troops and all, the sick and
wounded, were transported over a single track
railroad crossing many rivers and trestlework
structures for more than three hundred miles
through Tennessee and Georgia, a hostile
country, in the face of constant attack; from
an enterprising arid daring' enemy.’’ ’ ‘Til the
Sulisistence Department, which supplied a
million of soldiers with food and clothing;
in the ordnance department, in which twenty
million dollars of capital anil twenty thousand
mechanics were employed in the manufacture
of arms at one-fourth the cost of those import
ed from foreign countries; in the medical de
partment, with its stationary rind travelling
hospitals, and tlic omnipresent co-operation
of the sanitary commission, the same energy
and vigilance werever at work.

A number of leading bankers of the coun
try have under consideration a plan for the
establishment of a National Banker’s Express
Company, the object being to facilitate trims
mission of funds from place to place. T
Brown, Esq., lately cashier of the First Nation
al Bankot Madison, Wisconsin, was in Spring-
field, Illinois, a day or two ago, conferring
with the blinkers and State officers. We un
derstand the project was favorably, entertain-
e*l,.am!, that some of the,Springfield bnnkera
took stock in the enterprise..
At the recent State fair held :it the Chicago
trotting park, a ypung iiuni lin'd occasion to
set up a hitching post on the grounds, and in
digging about twelve inches down ,canto
plump upon the hack bone of a cat iisli; arid
thinks be can fisli with, a spade anywhere
upon the premises, with almost a certainty of
success. He further says, in praise of the lo-
arez had fled to El Paso from Chihuahria;
but from the tenor of the same advices it
does not follow that the fortunes of the Lib-
rals are irretrievably destroyed. However
that may be, it is-certain that there is no
change in the policy heretofore pursued by
our government in relation to Mexican affairs.
The reduction of the voluntary military
force is progressing rapidly. The total num
ber of froops mustered out under orders
from the War Department, dated Wugnst 14,
was twenty-nine thousand. Of this number
six thousand were men serving in the middle
lepartment, eight thousand in Washington,
five thousand in Kentucky, eight thousand in
North Carolina, aud two thousand in Missis-
ppi. Orders, dated the 10th of the present
month, direct the mustering out of another
large body of troops, which will number,
about forty thousand, twenty -thousand of
whom are colored troops raised in the north

Richmond Cor. Philadelphia Inquirer.]
The famous guerilla chief was visible on
the streets of Richmond yesterday. Some
body h:i described Mosby a-; a handsome
man in personal appearance, hut he is noth
ing of the sort. Of ordinary higlit, his build
*is good enough, but his face is common-place
anil his light brown hair worn unkempt, adds
nothing lo its attractiveness. Mosby’s fea
tures and expression would impress' you as
those of a man resolute and cunning, not
captuously honest nor viciously cruel, and I
suspect that in the stories of his cruelty he
has been somewhat belied.
His business in Richmond is to regain pos
session of some tobacco lie claims, and I was
sorry to hear him remark that it is all he bus
in the world, for I know that he will not get
it, and he owe3 the Inquirer for a horse and
divers othef articles, taken from me V>y some
of his band last summer, and I imagine -our
chance lor restitution to be small. In another
sense it was pleasant to hear him admit- his
poverty, for if lie told the truth, it shows that
he was graciously swindled at the first divis
ion of the spoils on the breaking up of his
command; and further, it controverts the un
comfortable axiom concerning honor among
thieves.
When the life of John Singleton Mosby
comes to be written, it will show a succession
of startling personal adventures unsurpassed"
by those of any partisan chief on record.—
That Mosby was always hanging on the out
skirts of our armies, cutting off our trains,
capturing our stragglers, and harrassing us in
every possible way, the people generally
know; but they do not know that he went in
and out of our camps at his pleasure, and was
never once detected. It is said (and undoubt
edly truly) that while Burnside, lay opposite
Fredericksburg, in tlie winter of 1862, Mosby
dined with him, in the character of a Union
farmer from across the river, and gathered,
with his shrewd cunning, from the general
table talk, much valuable information, with
which he regained the rebel lines without
molestation.
One of the best things told of trim occur
red that same winter and in the same neigh
borhood. Burnside, that winter, was literally
badgered by Mosby. He seemed ubiquitous,
and at last it became dangerous to go from
camp at all, as the least ramble was sure to
result in capture by Mosby. At last Burnside
became wearied out, and determined to cap
ture the partisan, arid to this'end sent detach
ments of cavalry to scour the country thor
oughly, anil bring him in dead or alive. One
day, one of these detachments, led by a
lieutenant colonel, was going up the Dumfries
road, when, from a house in sight'of the Fed
eral lines, a man emerged, dressed in the
uniform of a Federal captain, and attended
by one orderly dressed in our cavalry blt}e.
At the gate were two horses marked U. S.
and furnished with regulation sa'ddle and
bridle, and mounting, the captain rode up
and accosted the colonel, who was still march
ing up the road. The colonel informed his
new. companion that ho was in search of
this Mosby, and asked if he had heard
anything of him. »
Tlic captain had heard and knew to a cer
tainty that an hour before Mosby had been
at Jones’s, four miles up the road. Visions
of promotion and newspaper paragraphs
dancing before him, the colonel ordered
him “ trot march," w T hile the captain, with
his orderly, dashed across a field to a farm
house to get some milk, he said, before
returning to camp. Arrived at Jones’s, the
colonel found that Mosby had indeed been
there, but also found that he had departed in
the direction of Burnside’s camps. Back the
colonel beat in haste, making inquiries every
where, but finding no trace. Arrived again
at the house from whichs the communicative
captain had appeared, the woman accosted
him, and this colloquy ensued:
Woman: Kumel, who was that ere Yank
capting met ye here as ye was gwine tother
way ?
Colonel: I don’t know his name, but he
belonged to a Massachusetts regiment.
Woman: Yeas, well kneow ain’t you sold
that air was John Mosby.
Colonel: H—!
And he rode back to camp and said noth
ing whatever about his morning’s work, ex
cept to report that he had not captured-him]
Some of his men did, however, and that story
floated about the army during the rest of 'the
war.
Many such things as this' are told of Mos
by, and his power for mischief was so sens!
bly felt in the Valley last summer and au
tumn, that Phil. Sheridan used to swear at
him in his most hearty style. Mosby riow is
■a citizen of the United States no better-and
no worse than the thousands of other Vir
ginians who have laid down their arms.

Be true to Yourselves, Georgians !
From the Federal Union.]
If we ever could give anybody advice, we
feel perfectly unthorized to do so now. We
are so well convinced,in our own minds, that
the approaching State convention can save or
ruin the people of Georgia, that wc would
spare no effort—up labor—to impress the
people with the impotence of sending men
to the convention who are prepared to ac
cept and recognize the situation, in all its as- .
pccts. If our representatives in the conven
tion will do as Mississippi's representatives
have done—acknoledge tiiat slavery is dead,
as an institution—and go not one inch be
yond the limit of their plain duties—all will
lie welL President Johnson will say, well
done Georgia, and all the friends of the South,
at the North, will echo, well done Georgia!
But if we send broken down politicians, and
wooden-headed men—or men that- would like
to hear their own voices in the State capi-
tol—then we will have trouble, and the radi
cals at the North will shout in the ears of pres
ident Johnson—there now, didn't «« tell you

A Curious Vine.—A curious vine, says the
Nevada Transcript, has recently been found
in some of tlie gardens in that vicinity: It is
a parasite, and readily attaches itself to other
plants. The vine is about half the size of an
angle worm, is of a light color, and appears
very tender, but it is almost impossible to
kill it. One of these vines has fastened itself
upon Judge Bclden’s potato tops, and it
climbs from one plant to another without
difficulty. If broken into pieces and thrown
upon the plants, it soon winds itself around
the stems, inserts its feeder** into the plant,
and shoots out its tendrils in every direction,
losing none of its vitality by tlie rough treat
ment We are informed that many vines of
the same kind grow up along the Yuba. -
However this may be, the creeping parasite
will furnish interesting study for the botanist.

The Cholera in Constantinople—Re
ports from. United States Consuls.—The
State department- is in receipt of intelligence
from the United States Consul stationed at
Constantinople, dated August 14, in which
he says; “I had hoped to be able to report
some abatement in the ravages of the cholera,
which has been unusually malignant here for
more than a month,causing an unprecedented
panic among the inhabitants of this place and
vicinity. It is estimated that the victims of
this direful scourge already number twenty
thousand, the number of deaths in a single
day having reached one thousand. It is said
that probably two hundred thousand of the
terror-stricken inhabitants have left the
city. Business has been almost entirely
suspended, and many places of business
are closed. The Mussulman population night
ly perambulate the streets, chanting hymns
and prayei s for the abating of tlie scourge.
Among the Greek population the fright has
almost resulted in a famine, the bakers re
fusing to make bread, the butchers to kill
meat, and the grocers to sell provisions.—
The panic among the masses is out of all pro
portion to the danger.”
The United States Consul stationed at Leg
horn informs the State department, under
date of August 25, that the cholera, which
has prevailed to an alarming degree for the
past few months in Egypt, -and some eastern
portions of Italy, has not yet reached Leg
horn, and says it lias not yet broken out in
the western part of Italy, except at Malta.—
The Consul says that in Ancona, and other
places on the Adriatic, where it prevails, it is
very fatal. Of those attacked, more than
half die.
