Before Petersburg, V , ) July 4, 1864.J Mr Dear Leader: It seems, natural to be back again to tbe front. There's no fun like fighing,.arter ail. 'Mac, 'said Grant to me a bit ago, 4jou have just come from -Ne w York.and you're o fool; what do. the folks, up. that way think about this camnaicn? .IlavrAn ihav feel T.r. They.. 8ayf General,' I respondedj 'that you're doing pretty well.- If the Adminis Administration - tration Administration will let you alone, and you will only stick to McClellan's original plan, as hereto heretofore, - fore, heretofore, yon are. bound to win' 'I bet you!' said he. But,' I. continued, 'if Stanton gets a finger in the pie, and old Welles stays aslsep I'm afraid their confidence will hardly hold out They're getting plaguey tired of seeing indecisive and disastrous battles fought by civilians hundreds of miles away from the field." , ... 'So am I,' said Grant. . The fact is my dear Leader, if simple bard fighting, directed by good generalship can end this rebellion, we have plenty of those elements. But I am riot altogether sure that this end is so universally desired as the papers pretend. If Grant takes Richmond in August, the Chicago convention will nominate him in September, and tbe nation will elect him in Novembsr. .And there be those who do not consider that denouement so agreeable. His other name is Old Abe Linoolu. You have heard of him. I don't meau to say that he willfully pro prolongs - longs prolongs this terrifio and fatal struggle, or post postpones - pones postpones a victory which-is already too costly. But I do mean to say that I wish it were neither in his power nor interests to do so. The question here is, 'Who else!' And I say, 'Anybody else!' But now-a-days a fellow can trust no one politioially speaking. Look at tbe record of Lincoln, of Seward, of Butler.of Fremont of all of them Those who were once white are now black, and vice versa. You can't tell unless you bet, and when you do bet you surely lose. Since tbe days of Washington our Pres idents have been deteriorating pretty stead steadily. - ily. steadily. We have got down to Old Abe now, and 1 don't know how we oan get much further unless we put George, etc. If ho made as much of a muddle of his Administration as he does of his law suits, he would ba a wor worthy - thy worthy successor to Abraham in tbe noble line of decadence. My boys down here are quite delighted with the news of Chase's first sensible action. Of course I mean his resignation. Having got the finances of the country in abou t as bad a pickle as is possible, and not seeing his way out of tho scrape through any sort of loophole, he quietly resigns, and leaves his affairs to render somebody else idiotic. But never mind. As my Orderly used to say, 'No man can call me disroyal; I'm as royal a man as any in the army.' And so I don't meddle with politics. I never did. I've been too well brought up. . My business is to fight, not to legislate and which ever way the Presidential cat may jump, I can only wield my trusty blade in defense of the dear Old Flag and the glorious Union for ever! , I'm pretty good and patriotic when I get woke up. My gallant command, the Fifty-eleventh Bounty Jumpers, fellow3 who fight for something tangible, agree with me to a man . We don't much care how things go 30 that we can whip the rebels, and confiscate a small amount of real estate. I am but a rude, bluff, honest soldier and like Ben. Butler, know more about winning odd pieces of property than about making laws and law-givers. It doesn't require much genius to be a soldier. I could be a soldier with my eyes shut and both hands tied. If it weren't for the counfounded rebel army I would have taken Richmond long ago. But theD, there's a good deal in being used to it. . General Hunter is one of the same sort. He made a splendid raid the other day. He traveled a good many miles, found some valuable things to keep, and retreated in first-rate order, with no I033 except that of trains, ammunition, and some men. If he keeps on thus you may expect him in New York, soon. Meantime me and Grant expect to date our letters from Richmond soou. We're going to fight it out on this line if it takes ell this smmer. And we begin to think it will. Oar appetite for fight is still good, howev- er. vvareiare is use one 01 onerm s ainners the more you eat the better you like it, and when you once begin you can't let it alone till yov've had your fill. Yesterday I had great fun. Me and my gallant Bounty Jumpers led an attack upon. the enemy's right. 1 threw out skirmishes in front until we found tbe rebels, who re gardless of the rules of civilized warefare, fired a volley of ball cartridges upon us. This so incensed ane tbatl ordered my men to charge away from "them. They were mean enough to follow and a hand-to hand fight ensued. I performed prodigies of valor. All war correspondents invariably do; sometimes army officers do, The fight went on till dinner time, and I. who am proverbially cooi under fire, sat down on the gory field to dine. Passing through a garden, alittle before, I had pluck ed some fine green peas. J ust as I began to prepare them a battery o.f thirty-two pound pounders - ers pounders opened upon me with shell. Without thinking of tbe danger, I put the peas iu a pile, where the deadly storm came thickest, aod while I lighted my fire the battery shelled my peas. This is considered one of tbe most thril thrilling - ling thrilling inoideots of the war. I thiok it would make a good subject for a poem by Shep Shepherd - herd Shepherd Shepherd is a pretty good poet. He has so much tallent that I heard- a young lady say, the other day, that all his poems were different. I agree, with her, but I thiok

Lightning Rods. Their Uses and Their Defects. This great invention of Drr Benjamin Franklin was not designed to draw lightning from a great distance. Tbe bolt when discharged takes its direction, which is changed somewhat by conductors. A house in its path is saved if it has . upon it a good mf talic conductor of electricity, because the fluid so called, takes the route which will allow it to reach the earth in the shortest possible time, and thus restore the equilibrum. That portion of a roof which is regarded as absolutely protected, is a circle whose radius is equal to the height to which the rod extends above the 'roof; hence it is a common practice to have sev several - eral several terminations or branches of the main rod projecting from tbe highest part of the roof, and frem the corners of the building. A defective lightning rod Is dangerous because it draws toward the house a force which it cannot conduct away from it. A death ocoured on the 17th of last month at Rensalaer, Ind., . by lightning, in a house two and a half stories high, situated in a grove of tall timber. The lightning rod designed to protect the building was made of two kinds of metal the first three upper sections were of octagonal copper, the re remainder - mainder remainder was an iron rod.. Copper is much better conductor of electricity .than iron. The copper rod received . mora than the iron rod could instantly carry away. The consequence was that a portion, sought its path to the ground through the house. A human body was the bridge by which it crossed a bed, ond a life was swept off in its passage. Most of the accidents from light lightning, - ning, lightning, in cases of houses provided with rods, are the result of imperfect insulation. The rods are not properly fastened with non nonconductors, - conductors, nonconductors, and do not always enter the ground far enough to reach the moisture. Metalio roofs with gutters and leaders run running - ning running to the ground, Jwhen wet are perfect coed uctors . Hardware stores, although filled with metal, are seldom, if ever, injured by light lightning. - ning. lightning. The current 'does not always descend from the sky to the earth. The earth is generally negative and the clouds positive; but if the earth was positive and the clouds negative, the direction of the electric force would be reversed. The Rip Van Winkles of our Race One of tbe most succinct and compreher. sive statements of the kind we have ever seen, appears in a speech made by the Rev. Samuel Coley, at a Weslean missionary an anniversary. - niversary. anniversary. It is a passage worth preserv preserving: - ing: preserving: "I suppose that no country has ever had such a united intellectual development as China. The Chinese is the largest, yet, be beyond - yond beyond its own realm, the least influential of monarchies. From Cuius, no mission ev er started, no conqueror ever marched. Before all people in ruuimental invention, they are behind all people in development. They had both gold and silver coins before thefirst Daric was minted, yet they traffic by the scales to this day. They first had gun gunpowder, - powder, gunpowder, but have got little further with its use than to blaze it away in crackers. They were long beforehand with the maguet, but no junk ever crossed the ocean except in tow of a British ship. They have printed from time immemoral, but their literature awakes no progressive intellect. They have made glass for two thousand years, and or ordinarily - dinarily ordinarily do not make it clear enough to see through yet. Their astronomy is still as astrology, - trology, astrology, nor has their chemistry awoke from dreams of alchemy. They have politeness but its odd forms and slavery of etiquette only make them more unsociable. They have a wonderful language, but its elaborate cleverness- is a curse and a fetter to their minds, making it the labor of a life to read. They are not without notions of dignity, but the men find it in nails long enough for claws; and the women in feet crush into the shapelessness of hoofs. In the South Atlan Atlantic - tic Atlantic there is a sea the great Sargazo. All tbe currents pass by.it. Dull, dead, heav ing waves, just move the heaped up tangle of wrecks, that rot in that stagnant me!an- cboly ocean limbo. China ia the Sargazo sea in the ocean of humanity. What Abb Wb Coking To. A few days ago, says tbe Jjouisviile journal one of tbe most respectable ladies of Louisville, was riding in her carriage In the out-skirts of the city, driven by her servant. Suddenly three negroes in uniform came up. stopped tbe carriage, and said to the driver, 'What are you driving that white trash for? We have got aguu for you. Jump off and come along.' Tne lady, much frightened, called to her driver to let her out. 'Don't be afraid Madam, said the bold fellow, 'I can-protect you against the villaios.'instantly he swung his whip most vigorously among them, and starting his horses at full speed, be soon bad his mistress out of tbe reach of the devils with black faces and blue breeches. Who does not see the whole tendency of the policy that the Administration has inaugurated?

" The estimate of the number of killed, wounded and missing, contained in my let letter - ter letter of yesterday, giving a brief statement of Saturday's operation before Petersburg, was much below the real extent of our losses. It now appears, by information received from persons who came bere to-day on the boat from City Point, that the Federal los losses - ses losses in the attempt to carry the rebel inner works, were probably greater than on tbe oc occasion - casion occasion of the great slaughter just six weeks before, on the memorable Saturday, June 18th. The losses of tbe Federal forces last Saturday, were eleven thousand. The full extent of our disaster was tele telegraphed - graphed telegraphed from City Point to the President on Saturday afternoon, and an interview between Gen.

Men Who Talk Several Lataguagea In Blackwood's Magazine we find the) following readable extract: There are two classes of people not a little thought of and even caressed in society and for whom I have ever felt a very hum- b'.e estimate the men who play all man manner - ner manner of games and the men who speak sev several - eral several languages. I begin with the latter and declare that after a somewhat varied experience of life, I never met a linguist that was above a third-rate man; and I go further, and aver that I never chanced up upon - on upon a really able man who had the talent for languages. I am well aware that It sounds something little short of a hersesy to make this declaration. It is enough to make the blood of Civil Service Commissioners run cold to hear it. It sound illiberal, and worse, it seems illogical. ' Wby should any intellectual development imply deficienoy? Why should an acquirement argue a defect? I answer, I don't know, any more than I know-wby sanguineous people are hot-' tempered and leuco-phlegmatic ones mors . brooding in their wrath. If for I do not ask to be anything higer than empirical if I find that parsimonious people have gener generally - ally generally thin noses, and that the snub is associ associated - ated associated with the spendthrift, I never trouble myself with the demonstration, but I hug the fact and endeavor to apply it, .In the same spirit, if I hear a man In sv salon change from French to German, and thence diverge into Italian and Spanish; with possibly a brief excursion into some something - thing something Scandinavian, or Scalv at home in each and all I would no more think of as associating - sociating associating him in my mind with anything responsible in station or commanding re responsible - sponsible responsible in station or commanding in intel intellect - lect intellect than I should think of connecting thai servant that announced me with the last brilliant paper in the Quarterly. No man with a strongly marked identify and no able man ever existed without such can subordinate that identity so far as as to put on the foreigner; and without this he never can attain that mastery of a foreign lan language - guage language that makes thevlinguist. To be able to repeat conventionalities bringing them in at the telling moment, adjusting phrases to emergencies, as a joiner adapts the pieces of .wood to his carpentry may be, and is, a very neat and a very dexterous performance, but it is scarcoly the exercise to which a large capacity will address itself. Imitation must be, in one sense or other", the stronghold of tbe linguist imitation of expression , of style, of accent, or cadence -of tone. The linguist must not merely master grammar, but he must manage gut gut-terals. - terals. gut-terals. The mimicry must go further; in simulating expression it must affect the sen' timent. You are not merely borrowing tha clothes, but yon are pretending to put on the feelings, tbe thoughts, the prejudices of the wearer, Now, what man, with a' strong nature, oan merge himself so entirely in his fictitious being as not tOjbnrst the seams and tear the lining of a garment that only im impedes - pedes impedes the free action of his respiration? It is not merely by their greater adaptive adaptive-ness - ness adaptive-ness that women are better linguists than men; it is by their more delicate organiza organization, - tion, organization, their more subdued identity, and their less obstreperous temperaments, which are, consequently, less redolent of the one in individual - dividual individual self. And what is it that makes

the men of mark or note, the cognate signs of human algebra, but these same charaoter istics; not always good, not always genial, but always associated with something that declares pre-eminence, and pronounces their owner to be a representative man?' When Lord Ward replied to Prince) Schwartzenberg's flippant remark on the bad French of English diplomatists by the advantage of having our capital cities so often occupied by trench troops as some of our neighbors,' he uttered not merely a smart epigram but great philosophical truth. It was not alone that we bad not possessed the opportunity to pick up an accent, but that we had not subordinated our minds and habits to French modes and ways of thought, and that the tone and temper of the French people bad not bean beaten in into - to into use by tbe roll of a French dram. Ons may buy an accomplishment too dearly. Ib is possible to pay too muon even tor a rar rar-islsn - islsn rar-islsn pronunciation. Not only have I nev never - er never found a linguist a man of eminenoe.but I have never seen a linguist who talked well. Fluent they are, of course. Like the Stecknadel gun of the Prussians, they can fire without cessation; but like the same weapOHt they are comparatively aimless. aimless.-It - It aimless.-It is a feu roulant, with plenty of noise and -some smoke, but very 'few casualties' an announced - nounced announced the success! The greatest linguist of modern Europe, Mezzofanti, was a most inferior man. Of the countries whose dialect he spoke to per feciion he knew nothing.- An old diction- ary would have been to tbe full as com companionable. - panionable. companionable. I find it very bard not to be personal just now, and give a list it would be a long one of all the tiresome people t know, who talk four, five, some of them six, modern langnages perfectly. It Is only with an effort I abstain from mentioning the name of some well known men, who are the charming people at Borne and Vi Vienna - enna Vienna every Winter, and each Summer are the delight of Ems, of Berlin, aod of Ischl. What tyrants tbe fellows are too, ever the men who have not got their gift of tonguesf Howjthey out-talk them and overbear them! With what an insolent confidence they fall back upon the pretty so period tp of their in fluency, and lord it ever those who are im immeasurably - measurably immeasurably their masters I Just as Bloudia might run along the rigging of a three three-decker, - decker, three-decker, and pretend that hia agility entitled him to command a squadron.
