A little girl, recognizing the uniform of a Massachusetts soldier, at Baltimore, on Sunday, ran up to him, slipped a rose into his hand, and was out of sight before he had a chance to thank her.--N. Y. Sun, June 7.

in Vicksburg, Mississippi, the ladies are opposed to the Home guard business, and can't see any bravery in the young men who prefer home duty to service in the field. The following is a copy of one of their bulletins:

to arms! To arms!--There will be a meeting of the young ladies of Warren county, to be held at Bovina on Thursday, 18th inst., for the purpose of forming themselves into a Home Guard, for the protection of those young men who will not volunteer for the country's cause.
A lady.

--N. Y. Sunday Mercury, June 18.

Van Nostrand. New York, New York. 1862.
