essary, by a kindly word, often with a humorous turn of thought, but never with sarcasm. Pupils seemed to count him their personal friend. He had many ways of holding the attention of his class as taut as a straining cable. He would look at or point at one pupil and call upon another simultaneously, and he drilled with infinite pains of repetition the various declensions and conjugations, and the rules in the Greek and Latin grammars. Older pupils can remember still a ridiculous story of Roland and Diana, a setting for difficult and unusual words which they have never been able to forget. Well as he himself knew his Homer, I am positive that he never went into class without having himself fully reviewed and prepared the lesson for the day and noted the points he wished to emphasize. Countless time was spent in collecting specimens for his botanical classes. But beyond the conscientiousness and technical proficiency of the teacher was the rare charm and force of personality. The

eat figure as a political engine. At length, on the 7th of April, 1793, it was removed from the Place de la Revolution to the Carrousel, and there commenced that series of murders, which have no parallel in the history of mankind. On the 8th of May it was moved back to the Place de la Revolution, where it continued until the 9th June, 1794, during which time 1,235 persons were executed for political offences. Among these were Marie Antoinette, the Princess Elizabeth, Charlotte Corday, Madame Roland, and Danton, the best of that infernal triumvirate which ruled France at that time. At last the people in the neighborhood began to grow tired of these spectacles. They complained that after these wholesale executions, the blood of the criminals remained in pools, that the dogs came and drank it up, and that crowds of men fed their eyes on the spectacle, which, naturally, had a tendency to harden their hearts, and instigate them to ferocity and bloodshed. On one occasion, during a

went to visit a friend, an old gentleman, who had been arrested at his home in one of our neighboring towns, and brought hither for trial, on the sole charge, so far as I could learn, of kindness to our soldiers. In those desecrated halls we looked on a scene we shall never forget; we gazed on that old man, with his undaunted eye — on the brutal soldiery, with their gleaming weapons, who surrounded him, and the drama of the French revolution rose before our eyes — the memorable words of Madam Roland rushed to our lips, "Oh, Liberty! what crimes have been committed in thy name! " On last Sunday the military authorities took possession of and held diving services on the Second Presbyterian Church Dr. Grundy, pastor.--They ensconced themselves in genuine military style, marching in amid strains of martial music, and "re-occupying" the unresisting pews, the musical department "re- taking" the choir gallery, and the preacher "re-possessing" the pulpit. After these recoveries, a hy

umber of other valuable articles. The U. S. mail was also secured, containing, amongst other documents, official dispatches from General Pope to Brig. Gen. White, at Winchester. These dispatches have been forwarded to Gen. Jackson. Fires were then built in the two passenger cars, and firewood piled on to facilitate the burning. A full head of steam was put on the engine, and the machine started in the direction of Winchester. The prisoners captured on the train were placed under Lieut. Roland and thirteen men, whilst the remaining seventeen, under Lieut. Rouse and Baylor, proceeded to Smithfield, in Jefferson county, 15 miles below Winchester. Within half a mile of the town they captured the Yankee pickets, who mistook our forces for a scouting party of their own men. On questioning these pickets it was as certained that the force in town consisted of fourteen men. A charge was ordered, and the Yankees taken completely by surprise, and surrendered without firing a shot. The

t like to conceal. We are indebted to a gentleman, whose position for observation is a good one, for the following note: James River July 4, 1862. Dear Sir: I send you an imperfect list of the transport steamers, loaded with reinforcements, which on Tuesday afternoon and night passed up the river to Berkeley and Westover, where'd presume the right wing of the enemy rests, as it is there covered by Herring Creek and the Berkeley Mill Pond. The mill is owned by a gentleman named Roland. The following large steam passenger transports were distinctly recognized: The C.
