9. H. H. jpiRU Bit HAVBMACK. 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. C. V. WALKER & CO., 271 BROAD STEKT, AUGUSTA.
