Our correspondenthas made the acquaintance
of averitable “Johnny Reb, " who is full of
incidents, imminent perils, and personal ob.
servations of Stonewall Jackson and other
Robe! notables, having been himself one of
the '
Rnxowxnn Sroxnwxm. BateAnrt,
as well as a personal acquaintance
and frequent associate of the wonderful
hero . of so many successful battle: fields.
Said co1respondent also learned that.
this newly -1rrived Rebel was a personal
acquaintance of “Manor Robert" Lee, having ,
been with him both 1n the field and in the
f11mily,aud ofiicially connected with the
College over which the General presided at
the time of his death.

01' our existence as-a nation;
Calling at the Norwalk Hotel,the residence
of this ex-Confederate officer, (Whom our in-
terviewer has somewhat pertly styled Mr.
Newcomer, being forbidden the use of his
real name) “ye 100111” was ushered into the
room, where Mrs. Newcomer was seated
alone. But we shall let him tell his own sto-
ry of the interview.
On entering the room Mrs. N. received meI
courteously and, as she heard me enquire of
the servant whether her husband wasat. home,
she at once observed that she regretted the;
absence of Mr. N., adding “he is expected
back in a very short time; but may II ask 11157
nature of y0ur business or to what are we in-’
debted for the favor of this visit.” Evident-
ly I was suspected. Did she seethe printer' s
ink on my fingers? HOW else could she scent
the sphere of journalism ? .
“I have called to see if Mr. N. would not
furnish reminiscences or incidents of the dis-
tinguished Rebe1 Generals with whom he was
associated, during the Rebellion, for the read-'V.
ers of our paper. The time has come,. We
think, when a plain recital of such incidents I

Such is our idea of a Rebel. I But aside. from
this I do not wish my husband to engage in
any work that may excite sactional prejudice
against him. He 1s every inch a Southerner.
His whole record is Southern, though he was
not a Secessionist, ‘per se.’ While he was ap-
posed, on policy, to' Secession, yet when his
State went out of the Union, he abandoned
his profession, by which he would have been,

Very true, sir,- and I should blush to have my

that employed to convict that innocent man.

'to deepen the sectional animositios, proclaim-
ed that the “South was on its trial” before that
commission,thus directing all the indignation
that could be aroused by three months agita-

ern section,—against the horrid “barbarism

papers were pleased to express it.

“So mote it be. ” . V
Before leaving this subject let me show
you what a northern writer of extensive ex-
pericnce in hospital service has to say about
the difficulty of providing for the sick,
during the war, promising that, if such apol-
ogies tire demanded in behalf of federal sur-
geons, an equal charity at least should be ex-
tended to the surgeons in the south, when
thesupply of medicines and medical attend-
ants was always made inadequate, and when
that supply became more and more limited
by every fedcral success, while the demand
for them increased continually from the op-
eration of the same causes.
This writer, who was both “nurse and spy’
for the federal army. says :—“Tl1ere are
many things 1n connection with this war we
ale disposed to find fault with, and we think
the blame rests upon such and such individu-
1119, but after investigating the matter, we
find that theyarc all owing to a combination
of circumstances entirely beyond the control
of those individuals, and it requires time to
bring about the desired result. “This has been
niy: experience with regard to the hospital
department"—meaning the. hospital depart-
ment for union soldiers.
One more witness. It is that of a northern
editor, whOSe name and fame as a journalist
is second to none on this continent. He said,
after reviewing the argument in this case,
When the fever of war had subsided “We
(the federal authorities) were responsible our-
selves for the continual detention of our cap-
tives in misery, starvation and sickness in the
south. It. was not the confederate authori-V
ties who insisted on keepingpur prisoners in
distress, want and disease, but the command-
er of our own armies."
A Pleasure'Ridc. '
Not in silken garments reclining on luxu-
rious cushions in superb indifference to all
things temporal or spiritual, with high step-
ing steeds daintily disdaining the earth. No,
with none of these accompaniments does
this Ito-be-memorablc ride have anything in IV
common, but a veritable seeking after, with
the certainty of holding in our grasp, that-
impossible desideratum called pleasure.
The means to attain this end are, a substan-
tial country wagon drawn by two hardy
roadsters, and a party of seven individuals,
each adding their quota of merry determina-I
tion to pursue and capture unalloyed and
simple happiness for this one dayVat least.

region has its glen, but this special one is, we
venture to say, the unsurpassed of glens in I
point of romantic picturesqueness. Beauty
is here in its many expressions of form and
color; the sinuous road we follow slowly, now
to the right rise sharp, jagged rocks,
their nakedness partly covered by the earth
out of which sprung straight and tall, the
pine and ash; to the left a rough stone'Wall;
afew feet lower 'and a brook is chattering
"‘over stony ways in little sharps and treblcs,"
than which Tcnnyson’s could not have been
prettier; beyond the ever .prcsent rocky
masses grey and grim, stand in imperturable
scorn of the diminutive river at their base,
“winding in and out,” “with here and there
aIfoaming flake.” .« The leaves of spreading
trees down-dip in gentle cadence to the an-
swering murmur of the brook, there a soli-
tary dun-colored column shoots heaven-ward,
smooth and bare, till many feet in the. high
air, a few tuft-like leaves appear. Fringed
in among the bushes upward thrusts a scar-
let-petalledspire, the desire to possess this
secluded Wilding is gratified, and root and
flower soon'lie at our feet in blushing help-
lessness, to be transplanted in the home-gar-
den; we would linger in .this beguiling
spot, but other attractions beckon us onward.
.Farther on we stop and descend to visit
the “Garnet Ro'ck, " through the woods in
among the tangles and brambles, we come to
the base of the small mountain of rock; glis-
tening particles of. mica glint the surface.
Now begins our climb, and a scrambling,
time we have; laughing at our mishaps, ex-
claiming over the treasures We find, the
youth holds up triumphantly, a beaIutiful
specimen of garnet, large as a walnut, out in
facets as by a lapidary, he of course, is the
envy of us all, and we press on to greater ef'
forts to beIrewardVed in a smaller degree.
Panting and breathless, we reach the limit of
our way, over-head hang the boWldc'rs, un-
derneath the scooped out walls form a con-
Icave shelter, where we sit down to rest on
the rugged floor, down, down we look and:
'cdmes the thought of the getting there. On
a level with our eyes is an impenetrable in-
terlaccry of green gnarled vines clinging' 1n
wanton random around the trunks and
branches.
We are in the “forest primeval, ” progress,
new. We rest a few moments, while bright
fancies, happy conceits, circulate amid what
is for the nonce a band of dryads, festive and
.;gleeful that however can not last, so we
start again. Slipping, sliding over the Ishinin!
rocks we actually scintillate with brilliance——
the mica dust adhering-to our garments being
the cause.- 'The whip cracks and we hasten
past the rolling meadoWs succeeding each
other so rapidly, the flowering buckwheat,
the waving grain, the light green and dark
ever changing and merging into each.other.4_
Our spirits take on a rising inflection; jest
and merry rcpartee and light laughter float
out on the morning air. We loitcr and are
silent at. the outsp1ead picture before us,—
is pastoral and placid, a rustic bridge spans a
running stream, at one side a group of Cattle

their dark sides, or drinking in copious
droughts of the limpid water. We proceed
to d1ive among them and halt midway; the
cows lift their large soft eyes in wondering
surprise at our intrusion, then drop them, in-
different to our presence. Leaving‘this latest
summer idyl behind we howl along. Faces
appear at the windows of the farm-houses,
small figures hang over garden-gates, under
the wide flapping hats are eyes and mouth
agape, taking in this unusual Ispectaclc of
fast-going life. Surely our tnmout and tout-

Don’t take any stock in the rumors that
have been set afioat here as to the intentions
of Senator Conkling. Senator Conkling did
not come home to organize a raid upon the
administration, he is not in opposition to
President Hayes, nor will he be. Of course
Senator Conkling would have liked it better
had he been allowed to control the patronage
of the state as he has done for soAmany years,
but he recognizes the propriety and justice of
action, and acquiesces heartily in the new
order of things. And next winter he Will be

will have' 1n the Senate, 'And, by the way,

pointed are growling, and as everybody
knows the impelling motive of their growls,
they can do no harm. The best capital the
President has is the fact that Within two
weeks over a hundred useless officials have
walked the plank in this city alone, and there
are more being led to the slaughter. -_The
fact is, the§President is gaining ground daily,
and whoever opposes him will be ground to
powder by the people for whom he has insti-
