Id a lata Bomber of ‘-The Land we
Lora,” we fmd the following anecdote*:
wbon Johnson’* army lay around
Smitbfield, North Carolina, no floor
could ba obtained, aod meal only in
aocb small quantities that two corn
dodgers par 'man constituted the bread
rations. Coionel ft , who had gained
such an enviable reputati a as the com
mander of tba sharpshooters of Sharp*’*
brigade, was a rigid disciplinarian and
determinecko stop the practice, so commou
among the rebel soldiers, of yelling at
citizens who passed by, especially if within
the conscript age, and suspected of keeping
ottt Os the army for the same reason as
Percy’* fop—a mortal antipathy to “rile
guns'’ and “villainous saltpetre."
One day a nice dapper youqg man, ale
gantly mounted and handsomely dressed,
with a bell-crowned hat, rode by the fua-n
loving j-egi ment, aDd was immediately
greeted with the old cry, “Get out of that;
hat; we know you are that; see your toes
working under it,” etc, etc.. Colonel
R -immediately dashed op, crying "Stop
that hallowing ; it it coarse and ill-man
nered; no well-bred gentleman would be
guilty of it 1” “I don’t know Colonel,”
replied a Mississippi boy, with a merry
,twinkle in bis eye, “how yon expect men
ito be well-bred on two corn-dodgers a day.
The Colonel bad no further remarks to make
upon that interesting occasion.
That accomplished scholar, gentleman
and soldier, the lamented General Garland,
of Virginia, related to the writer a con
versation which he overheard between an
iritb prisoner, taken at the second Manassas,
and a friend of his in the “ould country,’’
but then serving in the Southern army, |
The rich counties around the field of battle
•had been desolated by General Pope’s
order. Not a chicken could be heard to
erow or pig to squeal for miles and miles.
The seven or eight thousand United States
, prisoners were, therefore, of necessity badly
fed, aa shown by the following dialogue:
.Yankee Pat: “Dlnnis, my boy, have
ye ribil* no pity upon a poor fallow. I’ve
had nothing to-day and the sun most gone
down. Faith, and you’ll have a big score
of sins to confess to the praist for such
trato ment.”
Rebel Dennis: w An<l u it for
nothing to ate to day you're after grum
bling, Pat? In the Southern Confederacy
we have one male a week, and three fights
a v'ay. And how are we to fade flb many
nv ye when your Gineral had dlsolated the
land ? No, no, Pat, wt'U not confess to the
praist, we'll confess to Pope himttl/."
At the first battle of Fredericksburg, Ker
shaw’s South, Carolina brigade was order) and
to roenfbrce the troops at the wall, and
and had U cross this terrific bill. An
offloer went forward to select the safest
route for them. lie rode to the summit
and look a deliberate survey. The firing
of the enemy ceased. He raised bis cap
in acknowledgement, and rode off without
bavjog a shot fired at him. That officer
.was General J. B. Kershawlhimself. Was
,the cessation of the fire accidental, or was
it a compliment of the brave? Who can
tell? But ip. that conspicuous position he
could not have remained a single instant
bad the firing oontinued.
General Sherman cannot be charged
with tho sin of loving the Southern peo
ple, and yet he has left this decided tesli
rnaqy, which we commend * to all whom
it may concern
We should not drive a people into
anarchy, and if is simply impossible for
opr military power to reach all the mass's
$f this unhappy county."
Connected with the battle of Fredericks
burg is an anecdote, which shows tho
.dpirence between true unpretending cour
age and the spurious article with its
pompous assumption*. A general officer
riding alone two days after the the retreat
of Burnside, stopped to warm at a fire
where a group of Cobh’s brigade, which
had defended the stone wall, was lying
down in all (he listlossnees ofthe abandon
after a fight. The officer had on a com
mon soldier’s overcoat, pud yvaa welcomed
pa a cavalryman to the fire side. A coun
try lad, a farmer boy at home, gave him a
graphic description of the fierce assault
and terrible repulse. In his o.wn simple
style, ending his narrative with his ioge
nuous comments upon fighting in general,
"I have hearn men say that they were
kpilip for a fight, but I never did spile for
for a fight Stranger, I’ve been in every
fight with my rigt-ment, but I never did
like fighting. But when we was killing
them Yankees so pnrty behind that are
' us, I w*,ral«
I sorry to tee’em ran. And I tell yon, Mr-
Stuart’s roan, that was the only time I ever
did like fighting." Mr. Stuart’s man thanked
him for his narrative, mounted vnd rode
on, reflecting upon certain furions war
speeches had heard from men whose war
like exploits in (he field had not yet become
the theoe of poetry and of song-
The ordnance department at Richmond
used to furnish, sometimes, shot and shell
constructed on the boomerang principle,
admirably adapted to injure our own troops
and to shoot round corners, but very barm -
less to masses of tbeenem in frot.
Now, it bappend on a certain occasion
tiiat General Early bad received a lot of
new projectles and determined to test them.
A battery was drawn out and n group of;
officers of superior rank to himself, Generals ]
Lee, Longetreet, etc., posted themselves at
right angles to it to observe the firing.
The first shot turned over gracefully on its
side and went hissing and sputtering close
to the mounted men of rank. Not liking
so broad a compliment, they modestly
retired a few paces. The second shot, more
obsequious in its attentions, gave a closer
salutation. The captain of the battery
now thought it high time to interfere.
Captain : “I think, General, that I had
bettor discontinue the firing. The shells
are utterly worthless.”
General E. (eyeing the group of officers:)
it looks like there might be promotion in
them! You may contiuue the firing, Cap
tain.” >
STONEWALL J*O«SOX.
The admiration for Jackson was by no
means confined to hid own section. The
Federal prisoners always expressed a great
desire to see him, and sometimes louJly
cheered him. This was particularly the
case at Harper’s Ferry, where the w hole
line oi eleven thousand prisoners groeted
him with lusty shout*. Cilizeos say that
the hostile troops always spoke of him in
term* of unqualified praise' A gentleman
in the valley of Virginia relates that when
Fremont and Bbieldt thought that they had
possibility of
escape, Siegel'* Dutch soldiers passed his
bouse singing “Sbackson iu a sling,” (jug)
“Shaekson in a sbup;" and whon they
returned crest fallen from fort Republic,
they answered his inquiry aa to what they
had don with IncPmm, 'Pytam, (he thlop
per come out of the sling, he' gone, py tain
if the rebels don’t make him de President
Siegel’s men make him.”
While he was making bis stealthy march
around Pope’s rear, still as the breeze, hut
eventuaitrWPu. » „ Dh.u.
dolphin paper remarked: “The prayerful
partisan Jims not been heard from for a
week, which bodes no good." It sent
Pop# to fight Indians in the far West, away
from the pleas nut haunts about Washing
ton.
“Where ia Jackson? I asked an Irish
oner, who was astonished beyond measure
to find a rebel grasp upon his shoulder.
With the apt readiuess of his people, he
replied, “Faith, and that jist the throublo
all the liuio, sure.” Per contra, another
countryman of the Emerald Isle, lakeu in;
McClellan’s retreat from Richmond, who
had been ouriously examining the commis
sary stores, expressed the utmost contempt
for Jackson, as lto reeled along,: ’‘Ye’re
laughing now, ye’ll be after crying presently,
little Mac is good a fighter as yer Stoemon
Jockson, and be dotuned till him.”
MEXICAN FINANCES.
Druid, the -Washington correspondent
of the New York News, furnishes the fol
lowiug information in regard to the fina'n
cial condition of Mexico:
Tho finances of Mexico are in a condi
tion which is satisfactory not only to
Maximilian and the Mexican Government,
but also to Napoleon and the Government
of France. There are plenty of funds in
the Mexican treasury to meet all demands,
and it may be said of the present Mexican
Government, that it pays as it goes along.
Six millions of dollars were brought to
Maximilian in Februaiy by the Belgian
envoy, as a voluntary loan to him from
the brother of the Empress CarloUa, King
Leopold 11., of Belgium; and a similar
sum is to be deposited to the credit of the
Empress iu the Paris banks every three
months during this year. The salaiies ol
all the officers of the Government, civil or
military, of all ranks, are promptly paid,
and the troops also are paid with punctu
ality. Whatever money is needed lor any
purpose, whether it be to aid in tit* con
struction of the railroads, or to aid in ihe
erection of works of pnhlio utility, or any
other purpose connected with the Govern
meut, is promptly furnished, audit isal-l
fays on hjspd t$ ®eet the demand.
The same writer gives the following
personal characteristic* of the French Em
peror : »
It is not to be doubted that the present
prosperity of Mexico is doe in a great
measure to the extraordinary abilities and
personal character of Maximilian himself.
He i* now 34 years of age, affable and
agreeable in his manners, easily approach
ed, aod indeed, appearing more like a plain
republican magistrate than a bangbty mon
arch. He regards himself aa having been
called to the throoe by the voice of the
Mexican people, and it is indisputably
trne tbat the lapse of every month brings
' with it fresh and strong evidences of the
iattachment of the Mexican people both
■to bis person and Government In Aus
tria be was Admiral and Commander-in
chief of the Austrian Navy, of which,
! indeed, be is the founder; and the most
important works of the Austrian Empire
for marine purpose* have been constructed
under his direction. There is no depart
ment in naval architecture, and no branch
of science, literature or art, of which he
does not possess a thorough knowledge.
Before his selection as Emperor of Mexi
co, he was Governot of Lombardy and
Venice. It was a trying period, yet lie
conducted himself with such wisdom and
tact as to surmount ail obstacles, and se
cured to himself the esteem and admira
tion of the people under his administration.
He speaks fluently the English, French and
Spanish languages; and bis course in Mex
ico during the last Shree years has proved
that he possesses administrative qualities of
a very high order.
When a mail baa once forfeited the rep
utation of his iuiegity, he is set fast, and
nothing will serve his turn—neither truth
nor falsehood.
