After Gen. Pemberton sold out Vicks burg he was put in command of the batteries near Richmond. One night the Yaukees were crossing the James river nearly all night on |>ontoon bridges, when, instead of trying to reinforce Ids forts, he seat a good many men ont.of one. to when the enemy attacked it next morning they found but lit lie trouble in taking it. We came near this fort and halted in a field of Irish potatoes to await orders. It was right amusing to sec the soldiers grabbling Irish potatoes 1 We soon built fires, and had them cooking. Some roasted them, and some boiled them in clear water. I eat some cooked that way, lint can't say that they were good.— We remained here all night, and next morning were ordered to charge the fort captured by the enemy the day before. Colquitt and Dole's Brigade were the ones selected, and we marched up in |x>*ilion to the attack. Doles on | the left and Cohpiilt on the right, both brigades to advance and charge together; but the other brigade charged without orders and were repulsed, ami as they fell back we made our charge, but were repulsed with heavy loss.— We then fell hack a short dislauce to await orders, and camped for : the night, i B j The next morning we marched I upon the left a mile or two and came in contact with the enemy was oa picket, and it lacked like we would freeze; and when the weather did moderate, it snowed, alter which we were ordered to get ready to march. We fell into line and man-bed about a mite down onr works and crossing over, went another mile in tront of our line, where we remained an honr or more shelling the enemy, but fail ing to get up a light went back Pi camps. You may know we were glad to get back, as we were near !y froze. The next day. if I am not mistaken, Colquitt's brigade was ordered to Richmond, and on reachiug that place got alioard the cars fur Danville, riding all the way ia coach cars, for the first time during the war. We started from Danville, on a march, in the direction ofGreensborii, N. C. We inarched about 10 miles and camp ed ; and as soon as we stopped I started out foraging. Going about a mile I found a house and bought some apples and a quart of apple brandy, to sell out to the boys. Another soldier bought a quart when I did, and while the old gen tlemen was drawing mine lie gave him the slip and got off without paying for it, but 1 paiil $25 for mine. During tlie night the sol tliers went and pressed into ser vice as much as they wauted. So I made but little on mine, and had lo carry it all next day. The company marching iu front of us j were nearly all tight, and were as | funny a crowd as I ever saw. halted a We rhile before night and j {cam|ied. Next morning we start- i ed again and marched intoGreens- ■ lioio, and taking the cars were j soon landed in Goldsboro, and ; continuing our ride we reached Wilmington, ami taking a boat went down the liver to Sugar Loaf, near its mouth.

In some eases it mijrlit be termed a fanciful chimera of the brain, the mind seeming to be on the lookout f«»r some new i<lc:t at <leiusinii, which really has li • foundation in fact. It seems to he an intellectual concentration ujsm one idea, the mind remaining clear upon cyry other point. The integrity of the intellectual portion of the mind becomes apparently' overj*o\vered by the delusion and remaining in a kind of quasi stair, until the fal-c idea heeomes a |H»-itive conviction.

I think tbe soUliers should have stood up to these nen and not have sufkrre.1 them to bs sent off. One was fortunate enough to get sway from tbe guard snd make his escape, but tbe other was court marshalled and sentenced to be shot. After a few days wc were order ed lo leave here, and we marched up near Bentonville and cam|ied again, striking up with General Johnson's z.rmy. anil remaining several days. I think it was the sccond day alter we stopped, that the soldier, who was condemned to lie shot was executed. The sol diers were as mad a set of men a» I ever saw, and but few would see him shot. I think Colquitt hated it very muck himaelfe This caus ed nearly every soldier in the brigade to hate Col Zachary, and if wc had gone in many more bat lies be would have lust bis life. The next /lav we marched down several miles, formed a line of bat tle, and built some breastworks. The next day the enemy came near us, when, instead of letting them attack us in onr works, wc left ours and attacked them iu theirs, and charging up within 75 or 100 yards of them we fought for some tunc. Lieut. Little, of our company was a brave officer, and did all in his power to get the inen to go ahead.

Ditl you ever sec or hear of dead men that talked? Of course not, you will say. The question is too foolish even to be considered. The jvossihibtv of a sentient condition, after tlie principle of life lias left the body, i* paradoxical and can hardly be suggested by the imagination. The question, however, is not so idle as it may at first seem. Psychology presents a number of questions equally as anomalous, and does not venture even the shallow of an explanation. A hundred readers of this article ■uay be summoned this morning as witnesses to prove that serpents anil eels, after their bodies had been cut into small portions and tlie vital parts seemingly destroy ed, have been seen to live and to exert tlie functions of life. There is a dim tradition, connected with childhood days, that the tail of a a snake killed in the early morn ing, or any other portion of tlicj ■lay, will not die until after the sun has set. A case is recorded in medical jurisprudence in which an inve lerate gambler, who was about to | be beheaded for a licinious crime. lie be allowed lo play a game ol whist w ith one of the soldiers who stood guard over him. Tli.c of fiecr iu charge humored him, and the game began. Both were cx pert players, but just as the doomed man was about to place a card that would have settled the contest, the officer made a sign to the executioner. In an instant the sword was uplifted, and with one stroke the wretch's head was severed from his body. As the ghastly object fell lo tin- ground the lips were seen to move, and from them were heard to come in clear, distinct tone.- the words, "I have won tin- game.” It is not to lie inferred from the above that the proposition is asserted that dead men can talk We simply started out to tell a conversation that was overheard at the union depot last night. The principals were two gentlemen who had arrived on llie early Flor- form its own function. My eyi» see. my cars hear, and my tongue speaks; hut my brain is reeling. The shock was loo great for ile delicate organism. Good bye.” "Thus you see the dead can talk, yet a conversation so ghastly must lie anything bill agreea ble.” This is what we overheard. It is a diversion from the orthodox colloquies that occur while wait ing for a train, lint what this wi.rld needs is a topic other titan the weather for chance conversa tions.— Telegraph.

Wc did not have any fighting to do, bat kept up a pick et line half a mile long in front of tbe works.

So we were repulsed and had to fall back as quick as jiossilde. Our loss was light. This was in Feb ruary, and some of Gen.

The total excess of receipts over cx[>enditnrcs ia these States is $4,606,982, in all the other slates and tile territories the ex penditures exeeed the receipts, ac cording to the statement printed, by amounts ranging front $16 000 in Alaska In $845,404 in Ohio. It seems altogether inexplicable that Suxday there should be such aa excess of expenditures in Ohio, as the state is well settled, and has several large cities in which the postofficc receipts must be heavy. It is nal oral that there is a large excess of expenditures over receipts in the new states and the territories. In Nebraska tbe excess is ncariy $700,000. in Missouri $480,000, in California $400,000. It is a curious fact, too. and one which illustrates tbe condition of Southern society, that, in some ol tbe oldest Southern States, tbe ex cess of expenditures is quite large. For example, in Virginia it is$40OvG0t)i ia North-Carolina, $207,000; in Mary land, $425,862, notwithstanding the heavy bust ness of Baltimore; in Georgia, $320,000.

This state of nf fairs is now completely reversed. Between forty aud filty years ago the English language equalled the German in the nuailier of those who spoke it, and now the latter is left far behind in the race.

My grandfaiher was a physician in Paris during the revolution of 1798. He was a student and a very successful ex|ierinientalist. One of his most intimate triends was a young Englishman, who was also studying medicine. Ini bued with monarchical ideas, his friend, the Englishman, could not see in the revolution that men were fighting to overthrow tyran ny, ami he openly ami boldly denounced them. He was arrest ed an:l sentenced to the guillo tine. On the night belore the ex edition, my grandfather was |«-r mitted to sec him for the last time.

I have no respect for Mubone's politics, but I like his answer to the question as to how much he weighed.

I'he latter hysterically bewailed his loss and was only appeased when a gentleman, who huppeueo to be passing, handed him one of the neat miniature patent cork screws bearing the inscription, •‘St. Jacobs Oil Conquers Pain.” This pretty present had the mag ical effect of not only quieting - ae eliihl. but restoring him to his anxious mother, who at this mo ment appeared on the scene.— Times Democrat. \eic Orleans, La..
