A gentleman in St. Louis has two bushels and a-half of children. His name is Peck, and he has ten boys and ten girls. Four pecks make one bushel. The Emperor of France presented four picked rains, from the Royal flock at Rambouillet, to the King of the Sandwhich Islands. Mrs Partington is very anxious to know why they were picked, when shearing would buvo been a vast deal better. Mhe body o! a middling sized man contains a pound of phosphorus, which, if in a free state, and inflamed, would burn him up and everything around him.—Ex. Can’t be,’ says the Hartford Times, ‘we know lots of old bachelors and antiquated maidens who haven’t even phosphorus enough in ’em to make a match.’ The New Albany Ledger says a preacher in one of the churches o: that city, whose text led him incidentally to speak of the prophet Jonah, remarked last Sabbath: I am of the opinion Jonah was an old man, neither smoking nor chewing, from the fact the fish retained him so long on his stomach. If the fish had swallowed the honse we are worshiping in ho no doubt would have vomited himself to death. Some slanderer asserts that papers makers are the greatest magicians of the age, inasmuch as they transfer beggars’ rags into sheets for editors to lie on. It seems singular that the fierce flame in the bosom of some of our charming rebel women does not set their cotton on fire. The rebels have made a great many infernal machines that won’t explode. — Their rebellion is an infernal machine that will.

The Pitt,burg Fight. I had intended, at the close of my account, to speak more at length of the brilliant day’s work of Major-General Lew. Wallace’s Division, on our extreme right, but the ponderosity of the letter was already becoming frightful. It were hard to award too much praise to that splendid Division, or to its accomplished General; Ohioans had in it Col. Whittlesey’s 20th, Col. Chas. R. Woods’ 76ib, Col. Leggett’s 78th. Col. Kinney’s 561 h, Col. Bausenwein’s 58th, and Col. Steal-' ma,i’» 68th. Indiana had the 1 111,,23 I and 24th; Missouri had her best regiment, 1 the Bth, and Nebraska has her Ist which gave rich promise of the noble fruits the maturity of the young Territory may be I expected to bear. The division was longest of any in the I fight that day, and there can be no doubt I that it bore the brunt of the rebels’ last spasmodic, terrible effort. As our left' gradually cleared their front, the enemy’s troops were shifted to the right, and in the last hours (iiuiii two to halt-past i lour) there seems ty be little reason io I doubt that Beatiregnrd led them in per ! son, and charged them never to yield that! ground, or if they did, to throw down their arms and go home at once. His: favyrite troops, the New Orleans Battai-' ion, and the regiments of wealth, creoles from the lower parishes of Louisiana, wve there, as we know from the wounded left upon the field; and the canteens,! filled with a mixture of whisky and gunpowder, found ou the dead mid wounded, show whence their fiery courage came. From the hour the artillery opened on I the rebel batteries in the morning till nearly five in the afternoon, the division I wi;s handled with a skill that deserves higher praise—in the grateful heart throbs ol mothers whose boys were ; brought through the terrible conflict scatheless,'by the superior management, ol the Ganem)—that deserves far higher , praise, I say, than any poor words from ; pin ot mine can express. It was like a[ game of chess. By a sharp, quick scrag-. gle, with loss of life all the less for its very sharpness and quickness, wo gained ! a position that commanded a castle. Ofj course the castle fell. Then the lines wouid advance till we come upon a knight I or b'sliop battery that promised us bloody i resistance. The division would halt, fall i to the ground behind ’ some swell of the I Lili, or take such, protection in the woods as it might find safest, and await events. I Skirm:, hers would go creeping out, grad-1 Daily ths artillerists would find their men : filling around them; and their horses shot down, till there was danger of tiieir loosing their guns if they jemained. Rake the fields with grape or shell as they wo’d, they coulitdo little against skirmishers so scattered that if a volley of grape did go I near one, it was certain to tniss every one i of fifty others; while their small arms: were in the main no match for ours, and < hence their infantry were as powerless as I the artillery against our galling skirmish- . ers. Presently the guns would limb-.-r ! up and retreat—the piwns had driven off; the knight or bislion. This was scientific, orb-rlv, reasoning war. Thera was much of it in «om« of the other divisions, o.i our victorious Monday, but nowhere was the systi m s-> perfect, the Generalship so manifest and. commanding as in Lew." Walbioe’s division, which saved the right, defeated tho rebels in their last hops of turning our right flank, and so finally won the day.— Parents, and brothers, and sisters of the brave men who fought under him, and whose lives he may thus be .said to liav ■ saved, will cherish the memory of die dashing young General reverently for it. But I began to speak of this division mainly to record one important fact which History will not fail to preserve. The ' division, alone of all engaged in the battle either on “undav or Monday, never give back an inch. Every other division fal-; tered at times, fell back regularly, or retreated in disorder. Shis one r.evt r (altered. From the opening of the fight it pressed steadily forward— nulla vestigia rectrorsum —to the close. Prominent among the regiments thus nobly advancing, second to none in deiermination that day, when Ohio and Indiana valor was put to the test, not against: cowardly Mexicans, but with the ohival-i rous Southrons of Mississippi and Louis-: iana. was the Twenty-third Indiana, Col. Sanderson, Lieutenant-Colonel Antony. | That regiment was raised in the same region from which came the-Indiana troops who were accused of cowardice at Buena; Vista. There is justice in History! Albert Sidney Johnston’s body, which was not found till Monday evening, was firstrecogn'z>*d by Brigadier Gen. Nelson, who had known him when the one : was an honored officer in the oi l army and the other was a lieutenant of the navy. Prisoners had been telling nffiis! death, and degerribing him as dressed in a velvet suit, and when such a corpse was found inquiries were naturally made: as to who knew Johnston. Gen. Nelson was sent for. He at once declared it to

“Our Country’s Good shall ever be our Aim—Willing to Praise and not afraid to Blame."

be indeed the dead Commander-in Chief, and had (lie body removed to his own tent. Gen Rousseau was subsequently sent for, and he too recognized the features. Captain Chandler of the regular army did the same; and strangely enough there was a wagonmaster there who had been one of .Johnston’s teamsters in the famous Utah expedition, who likewise remembered the appearance of the Chief he : had followed on that disastrous march to j the Rocky Mountains. As a parly of our officers were riding Over the field on Tuesday, they found a 1 person of evidently, more -than ordinary : intelligence among the wounded. IL was dressed in plain citizens’ clothes, but there seemed no reason to doubt that he had been actively engaged in the battle, I and that in all probability he wis an officer of some rank. The officers were I called up to see if he could he identified. ■ Singling out (i n. A. M.;D. McCook from the party, tho wounded man asked that he. might bu permitted to see him alone. I The rest retired and a cotiversaiiou, last- : ing for some little time, followed between I the two, After the interview General McCook explained that the. wounded man was Georg.- W. Johnston, "Provision'd Governor of Kentucky,” who had set in motion at Russellville the bogus tnachi- ; ro-ry by which Kentucky was annexe I to the Southern Confederacy. and serving as Aid, I believe, on the G n. ini Stair'. I He bud made.some personal requests. — Tile ‘‘Governor” was severely wounded in two places. He received every smgical attention, but the next day he died. Tile definition of chivalry, us undi-r-I stood and practiced among our Southern brethom, will have, I (ear, Io be modified Take, for iliustrstiqn, tiiis c >uiraot., A rebel officer among our prisoners states j that a G neral Order was issued to tiu-ir troops, instructing them particularly to : pick off our officers. Meantime the rebel : officers dressed, almost to a man, in the ' coats or overcoats of privates, and thus ! prudently avoided danger, while our tin- ' chivalrous Northern offi'ers mostly wire their insigma of rank as usual. Ido not 'say that the rebel course did not indicate; j commendable prudence, and that our ofli I ci-rs did not display more valor than wis- j ; doin by making themselves targets tor [sharpshooters: but it is well enough the I hiith-strung Southerns should be taught | that the tables have turned when they ! : put on old clothis to save their precious : I jives, and Northern Linconites play the | . eliavalried role of going into battle and : dying "with thoir robes of office ali upon j them.” Il was curious to find the origin of the ' elan and dash with which the rebels came dashing against our lines, on the bodies lof their dead, in the shape of canteens filled with whisky, Or with the more: : maddening compound of whi«kv and gunI powder- On our side there were no: I such stimulants to courage—if for no! ■ better season, at least for the very satis-; I factory oiie’tTmt they couldn’t get i‘. It was curious to notice, 100, the differ- - ent slyles of fighting, to characteristic of ' their r.’sp- ctive sections, adopted by Northern ar. l Southern soldiers. On M >n- ' day our advance was slow, st.-ady and! sure. The. rebels, on thy oth r hand, cr.nie dashing against our advancing lines, I : hurling themselves into the contest with a <v mderful furv, an I on the first repulse,; flying off to try it somewhere else Northem codness against Southern fired Northern slowness against S 'uthern dash, : were fairly pi'ted that dav; and the Fien-j ci>7, enthusiastic, unstable Southerners, We nt dowtl. More important, as d»ci ling the rela-; : live value rtf soldiers in the field coming In m tho North as compared with those from the South, is the question of the reb--lel numbers engaged. Our own numbers i are definitely known and have been given ‘ • 'before; but we have nad only estimates: of the rebel forces. Basing my figures (on the best information I could gather ! from prisoners I placed tho rebels at six ,tv to seventy thousand on Sunday, with 1 . at least ten thousand re-enforcements for i i Mon b’y’s action. This gave them at ! least twenty thousand moie than us on ;on Sunday, mid from four to fourteen i thousand more on Monday, counting our Sunday’s loss of prisoners at only two j thousand. But, if instead of twenty thousand, we should find them fifty thousand stronger I than our army on Sunday, at least thirty I thousand strong on Monday, their repulse becomes a fact so dnmriingly disgraceful _ as to end, let us hope forever the gascon- < adeof Southernprowess. On this pom; I , have two facts, from which the reader can draw his own inferences. A Lieut. Colonel, who was taken prisoner, and whose conversation proved him a very intelligent man, stated that they had marched out of Corinth ninety thousand : strong. A captured Quartermaster, taken ou another part of the field, and confined at a different place from the Lieut. I Colonel, volunteered the statement that he knew ninety thousand rations had been issued the morning they left Corinth.

, Terrible Scenes on the Battle-Field at i I’ittsbarg,. ' Tile PlttsbuPg correspondent of the St. • Louis Democrat writes: ' For Lnlf a niile I pressed on through : the fur -si, which covered the entire surU lour :ing cdu.itry, ■ ithoit finding anv < evi lence of an engagement, < xcepl liere I and there, the scsir us an occasional shot ' li'gli upon the trees. 1 was told that the ' hard fi 'hijng was amilo beyond.

In a ravine further on. the corpses of i the enemy lay thickest. Here there had : lieen a cannonade of grapeshot and balls I frees a foot in diameter had been cut in: two.

As the last of the rebel prisoners were entering the jail, on Tuesday, a big mulatto fellow from a neighboring slaughter honse who was making bis way through the crowd of spectators, was somawbat jostled in bis undertaking. A lady present will, more age than wisdom, in the exuberance of her traitorous comjnisseration, and supposing the darkev to be one of the prisoners, rushed toward him with < pen arms exclaiming: ‘Let nte kiss him for Lis mother.’ The darkey with a look of surprise said, ‘Lor, misses, you needn’t do dat; my mudder jus’libs round de corner.

The Mau v.-illi a Snake in his ll.it, Dr. Dixon, in his New York Monthly ; Scalpel, states that a gentleman of the ; highest veracity related to him the following snake story, which beats anything we have read lately: Going into a very public ordinary for i his dinner, lie was surprised to observe the extra care with which a gentleman ; who took his seat opposite him, took off ’ his hat; he turned Ins head as nearly up- ' side down as possible without breaking his neck; ’.hen placing his hand over the inside ot his hat, he turned it, and received its carefully guarded contents, concealed by a pocket handkerchief, in his tiand; then gently laying the buck of his : hand on tha cushion, be slid the hat and its contents off, and commenced his dini ner. The attention ot my friend was ir- ! I resistnbly directed toward the bat; and I his surprise greatly inerrased, the reader may well imagine, on observing the bead of a sizeable snake thrust out and looking ' sharply about him. The gentlem in perIceiving the discovery, addressed him. My dear sir, I was in hopes to have ; dined atone, and not to annoy any one ' ! with mv poor pet. Allow me toexplain; i ' lie is perfectly harmless; only a common | i black snake.

A correspondent of the Indianapol's Journal writing from Martinsburg Va., ; illustrates the Union feeling observed a- . [long tha march from Paw Paw: At North Mountain House we experienced the first genuine Union tvelinu we have met with since we have been in Vir- [ ginia. Every house top had on it the ; : flag of the Union. At this station, three ! ! days befoie, ‘here we*e rebel piokets.— | The genuine Union feeling of the people of North Mountain I will illustrate by a i real occurrence; It seems that the young ' ladies of North Mountain House have a verv large Union flag, which it was ne-1 cess try they should keep concealed so the rebels would not get it. The young ladies, after mature thought, concluded to have it worn ns a skirt, end selected , Miss Mattie Cookers ns thn most proper 1 person. Thus eucom passed she lived I and moved until Captain .John W Lon's I company of the 13;h arrived in town — When it was known that we were United States soldiers she took the flag ‘roin its place of concealment .and ■->• ,».>.! undauntedly waving it while the Captain’s oompanv gave it three times three, ar.

An old lily who was present s .id to us afterwards that Miss Cookers ought to liave taken it from its place of concealment, before w-cnme up, for now that we bad found out where the Union ladies kept their fl igs concealed we would be looking for them ail the tiuw. We met another old lady there, en routs for a neighbor’s on a visit, but she said she could not go any further, (er she must stay and see the dear soldiers, and that for her part, she hadn’t felt so happy since Parson so and so had a ' revival at her bouse, before secession.

M , and brought back two Norfolk pa- - pers . They were taken to headquarters, • and although containing important infori mntioii oi the unconditional surrender of F rt PuLiski, an effort was made, in ac- • cordance with the policy which prevails i lure, to keep even good news from the representatives of the press. I am, however, ab’e to give you the substance of the glorious news as published iu the Sa- ' vannah Republican. ; The Republican says substantial!v, that ' it learns with deep regret, that after a g.’lhint d-.dense against guns mostly superior, that Fort Pulaski surrendered at ! two o’clock P. il yesterday, the 1 Ith.— Corporal Law of the Pulaski Guatds. who did not leave Fort Thunderbolt until after the fl ig wa» hauled down, brings the : intelligence of the successful event. The surrender was unconditional.— Seven large breaches were made in the wall by the F lira) battery of eight Parrot guns at King’s Landing. All the bar- ; bette guns on that side were dismounted, an! also time of the casemate guns, leav--1 ing hut one gun bearing upon that point. A clear breach was made in the magazine. The balls use I were conical, and were propelled with such force that they went clear through the walls at nearly every : fire. Colonel Olmstead also was in command. He telegraphed the previous evening that no one could stand upon the ramparts for a single moment, and that jovi r one thousand large shells had explo- ■ ded within the fort. The Republican publishes the above as ' a postscript to a part of its edition, and mikes no comments nor gives any particulars as to the number of men and ofli- ; cers in the fort at the time of its surrender. It savs however sonme of its defenders were killed, and but four wounded. A Richmond paper contains an editorial exhibiting considerable fear for the safety of that citv. It intimates that the M mitor, Nangatuck and Galena, all armored vessels, might, easily come up James River, and by their invulnerability and powerful guns take find keep possession | of the city. To prevent such a result, it proposes that the channel of James river shall be obstructed by stone, which it savs is abund int for the purpose, and should be used at once. A Question mid Answer. The Cedar Falls G .zette asks: ‘What if the \b.flitionists did cause the n hellion; will the proof of it preserve the Union?’ To which we reply no; the proof that. Abolitionists caused the rebellion will not preserve the Union, but it ought to influence those who are in favor of preserving ; the. Union to have nothing more to do with Abolitionists as partisans than to opt pose their machinations. As it wus the Abolitionists who caused the rebellion, let Abolitionists be treated as the disunionists that they Bro, and the r'diidlion nriif cease.
