A MILITIA MAN’S EXPERIENCE. Arrived at Ihe Depot.--Tire Harrow ing Sight--July 22nd, 1864. M'SHUB OXK. [Sunny South.] A long train of box ears front Ma con dtew tip near the car-sited atcifrly dawn, “while it was yet dark,”- July 22nd, 1864. 1 wits a member of a squad of about sixteen additional re cruits, made up of boys under age, for .Confederate conscription, men over age, and'a doctor or two of such age in practice as exempted them from Confederate service*. A green set as regards war; and the artillery and musketry practice gohtg on at that. usually still hour, struck us more cu limning Ilian dangerous. Indeed it was pretty music to those who were tull ot tight, lop, pop, boom pop, pop, boom— and the orchestra scented to extend two-thirds around the city. who have never heard the steady p.cke.-firing of two oonfVonte.l UosUlc. armies may hud a striking re sent lance, wheye a number ct axe men ate engaged in felling trees on a still morning; each blow representing a musket teport, and a falling tree that of a cannon. But what a sight .truck «s, as we groped our w*y up to and around he car-shed. On each of a (Urce-toot wnlk l:»v ue»d ami wounded Confederates. The sigh, our pquaa. I being an vEsculapisii, groped mv way amoag the poor and suffering b wounded. Here covered ... all with , ts one. over a gray blanket—dead; the next is snoring loudly; no, sleep, hut the coma of death. As I carefully threaded my way along by Ihe scant light, one poor fellow uttered a fearful scream, sprang half upright and then fell hea vtlv on las left on a wouuaed - i lieiisb- * t ho,‘-extorting front the latter a loud moan <if* jmiti. I sptmug to tbc relief, /*o'»'.‘d , 'o’ del|/-ji.»!,'y wdti'ar, jbh-I him hack on his pillow. “This maiijnust lie wounded in lii« hrain,’' I remarked lo a neighbor. “Don't know.” “Where is lie from “He is a Texan.” •‘And where are you from?” “Mi.-sis-ippi.” While returning att hour or two later, I halted, w ith better light, to see my wounded Texan; lie was dead! O’ 8 n'vant medical men are always on the alert to verify their proguostica lions;sd I carefully examined the forehead and temples—all was dirty and powder blackened, but there wa ne wound found ;— ran mv hand all over, and under his head ;—ah, yes, on the back of Iris head there is' a boggy feeling, ragged wovnd; but this is an exit wound; where did the missile enter? It required close examination to discover that a bullet had struck him plumb in the left eye without cutting the eye lids. There is no doub! this, poor fellow was shot while facing the enemy, and with iris eyes wide open ; peace and honor to iris dust! Our squad were for several hours in confusion; we (tailed, from Scriven county, were recruits for a battalion of "Rets”—Joe Brown’s Pets, as they were called—that had been sent up to Johnston's army a fortnight before, made up nfloetd militia officers and county officials; they Were in the trenches, but whereabouts it was dit fictilt to ascertain. We had a sub officer who liatl charge of us, and while lie was the whole of the fore noon on the pad to find some one to tell him wfaefe to put u«, we became subject to tiie wiles of a man that fell it; with us that morning. lie talked very patronizingly, and in quite a fatherly way. He had come up from lower Georgia, ahead of his command to sec if anything could be done to save Atlairin. General Johnston had been superceded because lie would not fight. Hood had been defeated on the 19th Hardee’s infantry had marched out of the city before day, and there goes now his artillery down the McDonough road;—it ail means evacuation. “I am going bark to Macon,” said he, “will stop my com mand there, and will take charge of you men and put you under mv or ders.” But for tiie fact that two or three of tts knew something of this man’s antecedents—his failure to get into congress—his efforts to raise a Confederate regiment* etc., We might have had some discord in the squad; as it was he went—We stayed. Some time about noon, we we resent a mite or two sontliwest of the city, mi the east side of the Macon It B. and loca ted lit an oak thicket, without tents, rations or cooking utensils. . Early in the tifloinoon we began to notice ltow incessant tiie artillery roar was getting to lie. It was east of and several miles away. Distinct re , tiorts were scarcely observable; it was a •continuous, wavy, slta king roar. We vycre satisfied it was a battle, I walked ............ down on field, and with my back to a. dead rr^r’ki:;!iin? t,;: though the distance must Itave been at least live miles or more.

Pretty Vitgiuia Knox, a heireas.envied the American girls married titled foreigners. She dream ed of the when a duke, on at least a co\iut, * woulrt aloug i ami lay . . come . title at her feet.

As she had plenty , , of „ money and ., enjoyed . , the .. nov elty ot being a countess, she did not object, but when they reached Paris she found that her husband did not have a cent in the world. The de mands for money grew more pressing, and one night tho bride declined to advance another dollar. Then the count in his wrath beat her shamefully with his hoot, and caused such a row in the hotel that both were ejected. The poor woman even then did not leave her hrtila) husband, and on the following day left with, him for Italy. It is easy to foresee what will follow. The count will drain his wife’s purse of the last penny, and kick her out of doors. It would have been belter for Miss ICuox if she had married some plain American, without a title, without even a grandfather. It would not have been so grand a thing a.j being a countess, but it would have been safer and more comfortable.—Atlanta Con stitution. A Harrow Escape. Col. W. Iv.

As't is now, pretty much every body, is dead that was tnrigiudly concerned, and the value of the propetv is mostly coinsttmcd by lawyer’s fees. The lawyers predomi nate in legislatures upon which the re sponbiliiy for our miserable judicial machinery rests. This probably large ly accounts for the situation.
