THE LETTER THAT CAUSED A DESER TION—EXTRACT FROM A SOUTH ERN EX-GENERAL’S SPEECH IN , ALABAMA. At a recent pol'tical gathering in Tuscumbia, Ala., Gen. Cullen A. Battle, related the following touching story in the course of his siiccch: During tho winter of 1863-’64j it ivas my fortu.no. to be PresSlent of 0110 of the coiirts-marshal of the Army of Northem Virginia. One bleak December morning, while the snow covered the ground and the winds howled around our camp, I left my bivouac fire to at tend tlio session of the court.— Winding for miles along uncertain paths, I at length arrived at the court ground at ltound Oak Church. Day after day, it had lieen our duty to try the gallant soldiers of that army, charged with violations of military law; hut never had I on any previous occasion, lieen greeted by such anxious spectators as on that morning awaited the opening ot the court. Case after case was disposed of, and at length the c:isc of ’ The Confederate States vs. Edward Cooper’ was called— charge, desertion. A low mur mur rose spontaneously from the battle-scarred spectators, as a young artilleryman arose from the prisoners’ bench, and, in response to the question, 'Guilty, or not guilty?’ answered, 'Notguilty.’ The *Tudge Advocate was pro- ( ceding to open the prosecution, | an( T sa ‘ ( T - when tho court, observing that 1 Toft, the prisoner was unattended by counsel, interposed and inquired of the accused, 'Who is your counsel?’ lie replied: 'I have no counsel.’ Supposing that it was liis purpose to represent him self before the court, the Judge Advocate was iustrtucted to pro ceed. Every charge and specifi cation against tho prisoner was sustained. The prisoner was then told to introduce his witnesses, lie replied, 'I have no witnesses.’ Astonished at the calmness Yvith which he seqmed to lie submitting to what he regarded as inevitable fate, I said to him: * TT ' What did you do when you re ceived this letter?’ He replied : ' I made application for a furlough, and it was rejected; again, I made cvcr application, and it was rejected ; a third time I made application, and it was rejected; and that night as I wandered backward aqd for ward in tlic camp, thinking of my home, with the mild eyes of Lucy ' v j is l looking up to me, and the burn ing words of Mary sinking in ray brain, I was no longer the Confed erate soldier, but 1 was the father of Lucy and the husband of Mary, and I would have passed those lines if every gun in the battery had fired at inc. I went to my home. Mary ran out to meet me, her angel arms embraced me, and she whispered: ' Oh ! Edward, I am so happy ! I am so glad you got your furlough!’ She must have felt me shudder, for she turned pale as death, and catching her breath at every word, she said: 'Have you come without your furlough? Oh, Edward, Edward, go back! go back! Let mo and my children go down to gether to tho grave, hut oh, for heaven’s sake, save the honor of our name !’ And here I am, gen tlemen, not brought here by mili tary power, hut in obedience to the command of Mary, to abide the sentence of your court.’ Every officer of that court-mar tial felt the force of the prisoner’s words. Before them stood, in beatific vision, the eloqueut plead er for a husband’s aud a father's 695 Acres of Valuable Land, A T Executors Sale. Pursuant to r\ «n order Af the Court of Ordinary of Hart County, will be sold, before the Court House door of *ftlu county, in Hartwell, on tho first Tuesday in November next, during tlic legal hour* of a»Ie. 695 acres of valuable land, lying in uid count about 4 mile* aouth of IUrtwe’1.

Lee, to tread ffio path of duty, though the lightning's flush scorched the ground beneath their feet, ami eacli in his turn pro nounced the verdict—guilty.— Fortunately for humanity, fortu nately for the Confederacy, the proceedings of the court wore re viewed by the Commanding Gen eral, aud upou the record was written: Headquarters, A. N. Y. The finding of the court is ap proved. The prisoner is pardon ed and will report to his company. K. E. Lee, Gen’I. During the second battle of Cold Harbor, when shot and shell were falling ' like torrents from the mountain cloud,’ my attention was directed to the fact that one of our batteries was being silenced by the concentrated fire of the en emy. When I reached the batte ry, every gun hut one had been dismantled, itary Cohfcder the blood streaming from his side. As he recognized me, he elevated | his voice above the roar of battle presenting.' tho ground floor of Ivi|ig Solomon’s Temple, the iden tical tesscl which surrounds it, mid the blazing star in tlic centre. On his right arm, and artistically exe cuted in the same indellible liquid, were the emblems pertaining to the fellow-craft’s degree, viz The square, the level, and the plumb. There were also the five columns representing the five or ders of architecture—The Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Coriuthian, and Composite. In removing his garments from hjs body, the wrongs; hut they had been train ed by their great Ipfider, Robert l^i 8 ,body, the trowel presented “ itsCTr'w'rth all "the Mlier tools of A itiniarkablo Masonic Incident. Tlic first Mafeonic funeral that occurred'in California took in 1849, and was performed over a brother found drowned in the hair of Sau Frunci*eo. An ac count’of the ceremonies states, that op the body of the deceased was (oiiiid, a silver mark of a Masoa, upo« which were .engraved tho initials of his •name. A little further investigation revealed to the beholder the most singular ex hibition of Masonic emblems that was over drawn by the ingenuity of-ifiau upon the human skin. There is nothing in the history of traditions of Freemasonry equal to it. Beautifully dotted on his left arm, in red and blue ink, which time could not efface, ap pealed all the emblems of the en tire' 1 apprenticeship. There was the Holy Bible, square aud com pass, the tiventy-four inch gauge and common gavel. There were Wau Lee. HIS TROUBLES IN THE MELLICAN COUNTRY. Mr. William Lee, of the Onta rio street laundry, has not left Cleveland, although he has not appeared of late in the newspa pers. The fact is, that’Mr. Lee has devoted himself strictly to business during the last six or eight months, and has thereby amassed a small amount of cash, which is destined to be expended in carrying him again to his ua- tive land over the salt. Salt sea. But before leaving, it Is simply an act of justice, to state that Mr. Lee has attempted faithfully to submit to heathenism of this (to him) benighted country, and if he docs not .carry away a fair impress of hospitality, or with feelings of love toward Brother Jonathan, the fault has not been his, hut that of the angular brother, on whose bosom lie attempted to lean. But it will he simply an act of justice to friend Wau, to allow him to explain his own feelings, as he did on Saturday last, in convers ing with a Leader reporter. He unburdened himself as follows : ' Me no likec dam Mclican man. Mclican mau comee into my lauud- ly» spittec on floor, chew, chew. Bringee, shirtcc, say: 'Thust, Wau Lee?’ Wau Lee say, 'No thust: thust dead.’ Mclican man say, 'ltat-catcr, I punchcc.’— Punches Wau Lee’s head, pulls his pig-tail.

Fleece officer say, ' Cheap John— one, two, three—bounce.’ Shakcc also the Masonic Pavement, re- ?, 1 ? pig-tail and says, 'Climb.’ ■ Wau Lee cluuhs—comec home, Melican man steal shirt and he climb too.’ -Wau Lee attempted to go to Sunday school, and his history is as follows: ' Me go on Slundly day to Joss house. Me takce settee and Meli can man’s lioyoe come long, Boyee say, ' Here’s China.’ Moreboyccs come. Pull pig-tail and say, ' Blully for China man.’ Me get mad and swear; fleece comes long, takes me to station. Payee fivee dollo and sixty cents; go home to wash, wash..

Him say, * Who’s up!’ Melican woman say, ' Dirty Chiua ’suit me.’ Coduc tor he takce my stampees and he say,' get.’ Wau Lee gets, fall ou the ground ahd hreakee nose; fleece officer comes up. He say. ‘ Drunk again, Chinee.’ Me say, No drunk.’ He say, 'Too thin.’ Takee me by collar and takce me Judge say, ’Here again, Chiuec.’ Me go out, pay teu dolle and fifty cents.

"I think it must be a jolly thing to he a widow !” I heard this re mark the other day iii a group of laughing girls. I think I remem ber saying shtia a thing tri myself in my girlish times. Do you know girls what it is to he a widow ! It is to he teu times more open to ' Have you j criticism tluui any demoiselle could no defense? Is it possible that ’ lie.
