since, spoke of a Virginian who had been lost from his company during the fight and fell in with a Georgia regiment just as their standard bearer fell. The lost Virginian asked leave to bear the colors. It was granted to him. He bore them bravely. The flag was shot through three times, and the flag-staff was shot off whilst in his hands. But he planted the flag on the Sherman Battery, and our brave men stood up to their colors and took the battery. That Virginian was E. P. Paxton, of Rockbridge. To the people of East Tennessee. In assuming command of the military forces of this division, I cannot forbear an earnest appeal to all who have preferred the old Union, no longer to resist the recent decisions at the ballot-box by over whelming majorities of the people of Tennessee. The military authorities are not here to offend or injure the people, but to insure peace to their homes, by repelling invasion and preventing the introduction of the horrors of civil war. Treason

Peace petition. The following is a copy of the petition presented by Hon. Ben. Wood, of New York, in the Federal House of Representatives, on the 29th of July. We are authorized to say that similar memorials have accumulated there daily for a month; and while none of them were successful, the fact shows that the despotic Government dare not deny the people the right of petition: To Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States: We, the undersigned, residents of Prattsville, Greene county, N. Y., do respectfully petition: That, whereas civil war now exists between a portion of the United States and what are known as the Confederate States, prostrating business of every kind, and producing an estrangement of the people of the two sections of our once glorious country, not likely to be restored by said war, (which also is of doubtful result to Northern arms;) we advise a compromise between the said sections on the basis of the Crittenden Compromise, giving to the slave S

He acquired the art of rapid retreat in the Italian war. On the day after the battle of Solferino, he set 15,000 Frenchmen going, followed by some Austrian hussars. They swept all obstructions from their path, and stopped not even to breathe till they reached Brescia, a distance of ten miles, and found that, rapid as was their flight, they had been outstripped by the hero of the Mincio. In his race from Bull Run to Washington he beat his former achievement, making the best time on record. On the principle that "he who fights and runs away may live to fight another day," it has been deemed advisable to organize a Running Brigade, with Brick in command.

The fact of Dr. Howard having been notified by the Government to stop his repairs of the new Lunatic Asylum at St. John, because it would be required by the troops, and the resumption of the Isle-aux-Noix prison, which is also expected, shows that whatever the cause, or for whatever reason, the Canadian barracks are to be occupied as of old.

How fortunate it is for poor humanity that Heaven so often emasculates the physical, while error and fanaticism dehumanize the mental and moral man. Were the powers of a Hercules united to the malignity of a John Brown, the land would grow purple with human blood, and the limbs of trees and lamp-posts would be literally studded with the grinning and ghastly skeletons of victims of intolerance and fanaticism.
