Making light his toilsome hours, Like a sunbeam in the torest, Or a tomb wreathed o’er with flowers. Thoughtful hushed he lies, and tearful, As iiis memories sadly roam To tlve “cozy little parlor” And the loved ones of his home— And his waking and his dreaming Softly braid themselves in ene, A1 the twilight in the mingling, . Of the starlight and the sun. And when sleep descends upon him, Still his thoughts within his dream Is of home, and friends, aud loved ones, And his busy fancies seem To be real as they wander To a mother’s cherished form, A- she gently said in parting “Thine in sunshine aud in stonn, Thine in helpless childhood’s morning, Aud in boyhood’s joyous time, Thou mustlovemenow—God watch thee In the manhood’s ripeced prime.” Or, mayhap amid the phantoms Teeming thick within his brain, His dear lather’s looks o'er silvered Come to greet his view again.— And he hears his trembling accents Like a clarion ringing high, “Since not mine arc youth and strength, boy, Thou must victor prove, or die.” Or perchance he hears a whisper Of the faintest, faintest sigh, {j mietiiing deeper than word spoken, Something breathing of a tie Near liis sou! as hounding heart-blood ; It is hers, that patient wife,— And again that parting seemeth Like a taking leave of life; And her last kiss he remembers, And the agouiziug thrill, j And the "Must you so ?” aud answer “1 but know My Country's will.” Or the little children gather. Half in wonder, round his knees, And the faithful dog, mute, watchful, Itt the mystic glass he sees ; And the voice of song, and pictures.

Then his thoughts in Dreamland wander To a sister’s sweet caress, And he teels her dear lips quiver As his own they fondly press; And he hears her proudly saving (Though sad tears are in her eyes.) “Brave men fall, but live in Story, For the Hero never dies'.” (>r perchance his brown cheek flushes And his heartbeats quicker now, As he thinks of one who gave him— Him, the loved one,love’s sweet vow ; And. ah, fondly he remembers He is s'Ul her dearest rare— E’en iu his star-watched slumber Tuat she pleads for him iu prayer.

Charleston, S. C. C. H. G. 000 prisoners were \ taken. In addition to the guns cap- • lured by Kershaw, I food’s division took I twenty-one—thirteen of which were brought off'by Laws’ brigade and eight by Henning’s. But the manoeuvre by which the j Federal commander sought to reinforce | his right wing, did not escape the 110- i tice of Polk, Walker and Hill. They ] detected the movement and again at tacked the enemy’s centre and left wing, now reduced by the reinforce ments sent to oppose the victorious Longstreet. This time their assault was successful. The foe was drivcu back at every point, on the right, cen tre and left. The day had been won; tiie enemy were flying from the field. Night alone put aa end to the conflict, and saved him from ruinous defeat, if not from annihilation. Of the loss sustained by either side, ! am not sufficiently informed to speak with any degree of certainty. The number of killed is small compared with the number wounded, which is unusually large, and the wounds are unusually slight. Many of the wound ed of the enemy fell into our hands, and all of his dead, together with about forty pieces of artillery, several thous and small arms, between six and eight thousand prisoners, and between tweu ty-tive aud thirty stand of colors. Monday was devoted to the care of the wounded, the burial of the dead, and the gathering up of the arms and other trophies of the battle. The en emy withdrew to Missionary Iiidge, Suuday night, and on Monday night continued his retreat to Chattanooga and the Tennessee river. The Confed erates followed up and took possession in front of the town, where they still remain. The Federals are crouching on the river bank behind entrench ments, and are busily engaged in erec ting additional defenses. They have a good position in the bend of the riv er, strongly fortified in front, and their flanks well protected. It is hoped Gen. Bragg, *Nvill find some way to maneuver them out of their hole with out a direct attack. Winter and the Foor.

These forces held the extreme left, and were op posed to the right w ing of the enemy, which rested upon the mountains and occupied a strong position. Hill’s corps, on the right, was composed of Brickinridge’s and Cleburn’s fine divis ions. I ain not yet informed of the composition of Polk’s command, which occupied the centre, nor of Walker’s corps, which was held in reserve. By order of Gen. Bragg the attack was commenced about 10 o’clock Sun day morning on the extreme right, and was taken up by each succeeding divis ion to the left, reaching Longstreet’s left at 11 o’clock, and thus taking one hour for the wave of battle to roll from 1 one end of the line to the other. On 1 the right and in the centre the attack was not successful in the early part of I the day. The enemy had massed a j heavy force on this part of the field, | and maintained his position with so I much stubbornness that Walker was I ordered up with liis reserves to the support ot Hill and Polk. He moved j forward in superb style, and fell upon | the enemy like a thunderbolt; but the i Federal columns still stood their ground aud fought with desperate gallantry, j In the meantime Longstreet had j been steadily pushing back the enemy on the left, meeting no check, and ! carrying everything before him. Under j liis orders, Buckner executed a success ful flank movement, whilst Iiood and others made a vigorous assault in front. The effect of this combined attack was ally passing away, and sombre autumn to force the Federals to abandon that, with her wafting winds and decayed part of the field, and to seek a position foilage, is about stepping forth to play on a high ridge.

We allude to that class of persons known as the “pool ” —poor because their meaus of making a livelihood have been cut off—poor because they were in moderate circum stances, and at the beginning of the struggle, sent their brothers, husbands and sons to wrest our freedom from the foe, relying on assurances of “men or means” for a support until our. “bruised arms” were “hung up for monuments” and even jointed peace and prosperity regained. This is the class of persons to whom we desire calling “special and particular” atten tion. The country owes them a deep debt of gratitude, and the people at home an unflagging and substantial support. Their purses are not filled to overflow ing, and in consequence of extortion, ter, from the crest of the ridge and down its side, Preston and his entire command behaved with distinguished gallantry, and like the veteran Ker shaw and his loyal followers, excited the admiration of all who witnessed their conduct. Kershaw captured nine guns, a number of small arms, and some prisoners; and Humphreys took 435 prisoners, four regimental stand ards, and one headquarter flag. Hindman, whose position was next on the left, was not idle while this struggle was going on. He engaged the enemy in his front, and after a fierce encounter, compelled him to le- tire along with the rest of the Yankee forces. The advantages which Longstreet had gained on the left could not but arrest the attention of Rosecrans, who consequently detached a heavy force kets, &c., where people have to pre sent themselves in the undesirable at titude of beggars, are greatly bene ficial to our common enemy the specu lator. Some other mode of supply ing their wants should therefore be adopted. Let there be prompt, ener getic action in the matter, all over the country. Time will not wait for us. We must act at once. We have no pet scheme to offer, but leave that to other more able to devise one. We simply urge upon some movement— point out its necestity, and our duty to the poor. Duel Between Badics. We find the following paragraph in the Philadelphia Inquirer: On Monday forenoon several ladies, while on a visit to a friend’s house, a short distance from Gray’s Ferry, were amusing themselves by singing and dancing, when one of them, a resident of Baltimore, sung a verse of the Bonnie Blue Hag; one of the other ladies jestingly said, “you are a rebel;” at which another commenced the Southern Marsellaise. When it was finished, the lady who had been called a rebel said, “I wish we had pistols, I’d light a <luol with you for calling me a rebel.” At this, a daughter of the gen tleman at whose house they were, said, “we have pistols iu the house, but they are not loaded.” They were brought; “and, in order to give it the form of a duel, distances were meas ured in the room, the ladies took their places, and the word was given, one, two, three, when the lady who had called the other “a rebel,” said, “I will sit in this chair, as 1 wish to die easy.” Word was again given, and the Baltimore lady, who had a self-cocking pistol, pulled the trigger, and bang! went the pistol; a piercing scream was heard, and in an instant the room was filled with members, of the family when it was discovered that two of the ladies had swooned; the Baltimore lady was standing motion less, and the one who wished to “die easy,” sitting pale with terror in her chair; one ball had passed through her dress on the left side, grazing the skin while in the leaf of a table on which she had rested her arm were eight dis tinct shot holes, and one bullet bed ded in the wood. The pistol had been loaded by a boy on the Fourth of July, but the charge had not been fired. The ladies were soon restored to conscious ness, and commenced to realize the dangers of meddling with fire arms, a warning, it is needless to say, they will not disregard for the future. “ Something Rotten.™ A gentleman recently returned from Warren county, informs us that the Confederate Agent, en gaged in purchasing wheat for the army in that county, is having it made into flour on the spot, when it is immediately forwarded in sacks to the proper depots. Why has not this been done in this county 7 Or why is the wheat of the county sacked and shipped to Columbus, a distance of 150 miles, there to be ground and the flour sent back over the same route to Augusta and Virginia. We know of two cases in the county, which we I will mention. Mr, J. H. Hines owns one of the i tinest mills in the county, running four pair of stones. His mill is within six miles of station No. j 12, C. R. R. This gentleman sold his wheat crop amounting to four hundre . bushels, to the govern- ! merit (after refusing fifty dollars a barrel for all ! his flour) at four dollars a bushel, and this wheat he has been required to take from his mill and haul to the depot to be ground in Columbns. Another, Mr. R. L. Warthen. who controls a mill which makes excellent flour, has been for two woeks hauling wheat to No. 12 C. R- R-,a distance of 12 miles, to be ground in Columbus. Wheat which he was patriotic enough to sell to the Gov ernment when he could have sold it at an advance Samtfr is Kuius. “ Ye batter down the Lion’s den, But yet the Lordly Beast goes free, And ye shall hear his roar again, From mountains height, from lowland glen, From sandy shore, aud reedy fen— Where'er a hand of freeborn men, Rear sacred shrines to liberty.

And sworn for strife, yet takes his rest, And plumes, to calm liis ruffled brea.t, ’Till, like a storm-bolt from the West, Ho strikes the invader in his lair.

Where we are we know, many a man about to be married well exclaim: “where we have been we also know; whither we are going no man knowetli nor can know till he lias merged into the gone. Charles V. said no man could be said to be truly brave until he had snuffed a caudle with his lingers; my idea is, that no man’s courage cun be as severely tested, as by entering into the holy state of matrimony, provided always that the man lie of a contem plative, reflective nature. This cour age is more required on the woman’s part than on the man’s. >She must infallibly know less of him than he of her, as he beholds her ever in the world she moves in; whereas, he when he leaves her, mingles and is lost in the crowd of outer life. Whether he keeps himselfapart among the virtu ous, or has his haunts among the vicious, she can only hear by report and report is not a witness to be making searching inquiries necessary for com plete satisfaction. Then again he has more resources than she, if the home be made unhappy by the assorted union. The tavern the tlieatre, the meeting the mart, are all open, for him. He can be away from home when he likes; and when from home to all intents and purposes, he is a bachelor again. Not so she, your lady. Once a wife, a wife forever. She may not, cannot would not, dare to leave him. The laws, her children, her womanly instincts, alike forbid it. She can never lay down her wifehood and become a maid again. And even if she do seperate from him, and return once more to her father’s house, the gay heart, the unspeakable palpitations of maidenly desires and hopes, the budding promises of coming life—these are 110 longer; the butterfly is freed, but its wings are torn and unfeatliered; it can fly 110 more. Hence there is nothing more lovely, than when a maiden leans her fair cheek upon her lover’s breast, and whispers. “Dear heart! 1 cannot see, but I believe—the past was beau tiful, but the future T can trust—with thee!” RrccU«'Ui*id$c’s Division in flic iirvai EC;iiil<- 011 i'iiicUainaii^n. On Saturday morning Gun. Breckinridge's di- vision was on ike extreme left of our line of battle, and was not extensively engaged. As the day ad vanced the battle grew fiercer on the right, and this division was ordered to the support ol the right wing on Saturday evening. O11 Sunday morning the general engagement of the day commenced aud the battle raged through the greater portion of the day without a decisive result. Iu the evening three lines were formed, Breckenridge's being in the rear. The first line advanced on the enemy pouring a destructive tire into his ranks, aud when their assault had accomplished all it could, those who had fallen lay down lo allow the second line to advance, which likewise made a gallant charge. But the enemy contested the ground with power ful resistance, and finally Breckenridge’s lino ad- j vanced over the bloody ground aud charged the enemy with an impetuosity which overcame his stubborn resistance, and some time after daik suc ceeded in driving him completely from the field, and the division slept a mile beyond tho positiou which tho enemy had held by tho most desperate fighting. This most gallant charge completed the work of the day, and the field and the victory was ours, but the thinned ranks ol those who fought aud the long lists of killed and wounded, especially in Breckinridge's division will tell how dearly tho victory was obtained. The deeds of Breckenridge at Shiloh, Baton Rouge, Murfreesboro and Chicka mauga are all of the same character. No more des perate charges, or deeds of greater daring have been performed during the war. On Monday at 8 o’clock scouts returned to the camp after a vain search for tho enemy. Ho had departed under cover of night, leaving liis dead and wounded on tho field. When the battle had ended there was a scene be hind most sad to contemplate. Hosts of the gal lant dead and bleeding heroes of many hard fought battles marked the field over which our valiant troops had passed Iu addition to those already published, we have heard of Col. Nuekols of the 4th Ky, wounded in Ideas About tVomrs. A French book, recently published at Brussels, contains, among other in teresting matter, a collection of curi ous aphorisms about woman taken from the writings of various authors.—We copy a few of them. Ouimfort.—In the choice of a lover a woman considers more how lie ap pears in the eyes of other women than in her own. Love is more pleasing than matrimony, just as romance is more pleasing than history. Bonijueart.—It we speak ill of the sex generally, they will rise against us; if we do tiie same of any individual wo- wan, they will agree with us. Charles Lemclsc.—Most of their faults women owe to us, whilst we are in debted to them for most of our better qualities. Daniel Stemc.—Most women are en dowed with such naturally endearing charms, that even their very presence is generally beneficial. Madame d ■ Stacl.—Love in a wo man's life i> a history; in a man’s an episode. Catalina.—Only lie who lias nothing to hold from a woman, is truly sincere in her praise. Diderot.—There exists among women a secret tie, like that among priests of the same faith.—They hate each oth er, yet protect each other’s inter est. Stahl.—No woman, even the most intellectual, believes herself decided ly homely. The self-deception is nat ural, for there are some most charm ing women without a oarticle of beau ty- Octave Fcuillet.—Providence has so ordered it that only two women have a true interest in the happiness of a man; his own mother and the mother of liis children. Beside these two leg itimate kinds ol love, there is nothing between the two creatures except painful and idle delusion. Alphonse Karr.—Say of a woman that she is wicked, obstinate, frivolous but add that she is beautiful, and be assured that she will ever think kind ly of you. Say that she is good, kind virtuous, sensible, but very homely, and she will never forgive you in her life. Madame de Manitcnon.—In everything that women write there will be thou- sandsof faults against grammar, but also to a certainty always a charm, never to be found in the letters of men. Ihielos.—Great and rare heart-offer ings are found almost exclusively among women; nearly all the happi ness and most blessed moments in love are of their creating, and so also friend ship, especially when it follows love. Madame Fee.—A woman frequent ly resists the love she feels, but can not always resist the love she in spires. ./../. Rousseau—Men can better phi losophize on the human heart, but women can read it better. Michelet.—It is a universal rule, which, so far as I know, has no ex ception, that great men always resem ble their mothers, who impress their mental and physical mark upon their sons. of o0 per cent to others.

In the year ls'00, it will happen that Good Friday shall fall on St. George’s day, Easter Sunday on St. Mark’s day, and Holy Thursday, or Ascension Day will also be the Feast Of St. John the Baptist. All Opiuion of ilic Hat-barily of the Lincoln (wovcrnsnciit Ahroail. The inhuman manner in which tho Lin coln Government is waging the present war, is beginning to excite the attention of European nations. This is not to be wondered at. Half civilized savages, even would not commit such barbarous deeds. The London Herald, in comment ing upon Liucoln’s bloody course, makes the annexed remarks : To embitter the desperate struggle to the utmost, the Federal Government has thought proper to threaten a barbarism which we believe to be almost unprece dented. Some time ago two Confederate officers weio taken while on recruiting service iu Kentucky, aud hung as spies by Gen. Burnside- For this cowardly murder the Confederates threatened re ( tuliation, selecting, according to rule, two officers of the same rank as the murdered men from among their prisoners. '1 hey chose their victiinsby lot,and sent to warn the Federal Government of their intention offering, however to spare tho men if they would for the future observe the laws of civilized warfare. The answer of Mr. Lincoln is to select two Confederate officers, whom he threat ened to put to death if. the Confederates carry out their menace of retaliation.— By this dastardly act the President adopts tlfe Crime of Gen, Burnside, and the simi lar crimes of Butler, McNeil, and Milroy, and lowers himself with the level of the murderers whom he employs and delights to honor. Of course, if such a threat be cat t ied out, the war will become one of extermination ; no quarters will be given and every victory will be followed by a massacre, But, amid the horrors of buch a strife, we shall not forget to whom the honor of originating this system of recip rocal murder is due, nor tail to bear in miud how long the Confederates have persevered in extending the courtesies of Christian chivalry to a foe who tights in the spirit of an Indiau scalp hunter or a fiepoy mutineer, whom no ramonstrance can warn, and whom no forbearance can shame into-honor, civilization or human ity- We are glad to see that the foreign press fastens upon the proper parties the stigma of originating the retaliation doc trine. The North is wholly to blame.— Lincoln and his bloodthirsty advisers and satellites have truly during the war en deavored to surpass the savage cruelties of even the king of Dahomey. ‘ The moderation of happy people is owing to the calm that good fortune gives to their temper.’ William Barker the t’rasg Patriet—A Ter* rihlc Katttnare, by Arlcmae Ward. I he following short and sweet" romance, in *0 chapters, points a moral and adorns a thrillir g talo which will not be lost upon nttr government -ontraclors aud others who desire lo contract an al liance with a matter of money : I “ No, William Barker, yon cannot have my lighter s hand in marriage until you are h*r equal in wealth and social position.” J he speaker was a haughty old man of some 60 years, aud the person whom tie addressed was a tine looking voung man of 25. With a sad aspect the youngmau withdrew from the stately mansion. II Six months later the young man stood in the presence of the haughty old man. ** What' you here again ?’’ angrily cried the old mao. “Ay, old man,” proudly exclaimed William Barker. “I am here your daughter’s equal and yours.” The old man’s lips curled with scorn A deri sive smile lit up his cold features; when casting violently upon the marble centre table an enor mous roll ot'greenbacks, William Barker cried— “ See ! Look on this wealth. And I ve tenfold more ! Listen, old man ! You spurned me from your door. But I did not despair. I secured the contract of furnishing the army of the with beef ” “ Y'es, yes,” eagerly exclaimed the old man. “ aud I bought up all the disabled cavalry horses I could find—” “ I see ! I see !” cried the old man. “ And good beef they make too !” “ They do! they do ! and the profits are im mense.” “ I should say so !’’ “And now,sir l claim your danghter’s fair hand!” “ Boy, she is yours. But hold ! look me in the eye Throughout all this have you been loyal ?” “ To the core !” cried William Barker. “ And” coutiuued the old man. in a voice husky with emotion, “ are yon in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war?” “ I am, I am !” “ Then, boy. take her ! Maria, child, come hith er. Your William claims thee. Be happy, my children ! and whatever our lots in life may be, let us support the government!” Hints for Husbands. There is an article afloat in the papers entitled “Golden Rule for Wives,” which enjoins upon the ladies a rather abject sub mission to their husbands’ will and whims. Iron rules, not golflcn ones, we should call them. But the art of hviug together iu harmony is a very difficult art; and in stead of confusing the positions of the au thors of the rules aforesaid, we offer the following as the substance of what a wife likes in a husband : Fidelity is her heart’s first and most just demand. The act of infidelity a true wife can not forgive—it readily breaks the tie that bound her heart to his, and that tie can never more exist. The first place in her husband’s affec tions no true \yife can learn to do without. When she loses that she has lost her hus band ; 6be is a widow ; and has to endure the pangs of bereavment intensified by the presence of what she no longer possesses. There is a living mummy in the house, reminding her of her loss in the most pain ful manner. A woman likes her husband to excel in those qualities which distinguish the masculine from the feminine being, snch as strength, courage, fortitude and judg ment. She wants her husband to be wholly a Man. She can not entirely love one who she can not entirely respect, be lieve in, and rely on. A wife dearly likes to have her hus band stand high in the regard of the com munity in which they reside. She likes to be thought by her own sex a fortunate woman in having such a husband as she has. She has a taste for the respectable, desires to have a good-looking frontdoor, and to keep up a good appearance gen erally Some wives it is said, carry this too far ; and some husbands, we know, are dangerously complaisant in yielding to the front-door ambition of their wives. But a good husband will like to gratify his wife in this respect, as far as he can, without sacrificing more important objects. Perfect sincerity a wife expects, or at least has a right to expect, from her hus band. She desires to know the real state of the case, however it may he concealed from the world. It wrings her heart and wounds her pride to discover that her hus band has not * holly confided in her. A man may profitably consult, his wife on al most any project; it is due to her that he should do so, and she is glad to be con sulted. Above most other things, a wife craves from her husband appreciation. The great majority of wives lead lives of severe and anxious toil. With unimaginable anguish and peril to their own lives they become mothers. Their children require incess ant care. “Only the eye of God watches like a mother’s” says Fanny Fern in that chapter of “Ruth Hall” which depicts with such power and truth a mother’s ago nizing anxieties. And besides her mater nal cares, a wife is the queen-regent of a household kingdom. Bhc lias to think, and plan, and work for everybody. If in all her labors and cares, she feels that she has her husband’s sympathy and gratitude, if he helps her where a man can help a woman, if he no tices her efforts, applauds her skill, and allows for her deficiencies—all is well.— But to endure all this, and yet meet with no appreciating word or glance or act from him lor whom and whose she toils and bears, is very bitter. A wife likes her husband to show her all due respect id the presence of others ; she can not endure to be reproved or criti cised by him when others can hear it.— Indeed, it is most wrong in a husband thus to put his wife to shame ; and we can not help secretly admiring the spirit of that French woman, who, when her husband had so wronged her, refused ever again to utter a word, and for twenty years lived in the house a dumb woman. We admire her spirit, though not her mode of mani festing it. Husbands owe the most pro found respect to their wives, for their wives are mothers of their children. No man has the slightest claim to the charac ter of a gentleman who is not more scru pulously polite to his wife than to any other woman. We refer here to the essentials of politeness, not its forms ; we meau kindness and justice in little things. A wife likes her husband to be consider ate. Unexpected kindness and unsolicited favors touch her heart. She appreciates the softened tread whensho is sick; she enjoys the gift brought from a distance and everything which.proves that her hus band thinks of her comfort and her good. Husband, reflect on these things. Your wife has confided her happiness to you.— You can make it unspeakably wretched, if you are ignoble and short sighted. Let the contest between husbands and wives be this: Which shall do most for the happiness of the other.— Life Illustrated. —— Among the prisoners captured at Gettysburg by the Yankees, and still in confinement at Fort Hen ry, are fifty army surgeons aud ten or twelve chap lains. No civilized nation holds these non-combat ants as prisoners of war, and the Lincoln Govern ment has shamelessly set the usages of chnstiau warfare at defiance.
