While the Army of the Potomnc was encamped before Yorktown, our adniira. tion was tifteD excited by the good con duct of ihose hardy jotii Df ihe rifle, the Dr:rdan Sharpfihooters. These green jackets" were ever at the post of duty ever on the alert. Creeping among; the bbxdows of the ;each orchard, or xbt hoi lows of the ir regular ground crouching b-hind stumps and clusiers of shrubbery cue ui.ouieut on their hai.da and knees, the next ex tended upon their tacks in every possi ble or inipo.-siMe position, they wouij con'rive tt elud the enemy's pickets and esiablistied themselres in dote proximity to the rebel works. Woe, then, to the unfortunate "gray Lack7' whose head was raised ior a sec ond above the parapets of his tarthly foriificaiiiins. A dozen pair of eyes are upon the tempting object a lozen rifles ready to pounce upon their prey. "Crack! crack! crack!'' followed by ati ominous wbizziujj shriek. Poor fel low, over he goes ! On a certain occasion one of the Sharp shooters, a young man who had rendered him-elf quite popular by the courage and daring he had displayed in various tkir- inUhes with the enemy, crept so close to one of the forts .that be could plainly hear the tread of the sentinels as they paced to and fro upon their rounds. He had ensconced himself behind a log. the shadow of which he believed would aflord him suflirient concealment, notwithstanding the fact that a full moon which had hitherto been concealed t y : clouds, was shedding its rays upou the surrounding scenery. ' While, with his ready rifle in his hand, he was wau hing the parapets, the sudden crack of muskets on his left saluted his ears, and at the tame instant a bullet grazed his temple. Tom D instaatly glanced in the direction cf the report and beheld the forms of three rebels." who had just e mergf d from a clump of shrubbery, run ning toward him. The Sharpshooter brought his piece to his shoulder, and bringing the muzzle to bear upon the nearest of his enemies, pulled the trig ger. The discharge was instantly foN lowed by a loud yell, as the rebel leaped high in air and then tumbled he adlong to the earth. Ere Tom could re-load, the remaining two were upon him. "Surrer.der !M tbey shouted, directing i the points of their bayonets toward his body. . ., But the sharpshooter bad too often found himself in situations of this kind intimidated on the present occasion. So clubbing his piece, with a movement quick as lightning, he' struck one of his enemies upon the head, knocking him to the earth like a leg. Stepping back, as ih other made a thrust at him, he turned the pjint of the weapon asidwith his piece, and then lushed forward; inverted bis rifie, and dealt his antagonist a power ful How between the eyes with the iron bound block, which sent him reeling sense- less to the ground by the side of his com- Ami: if it & LIBERTY, AND UNION, BROWNVILLE, pariion., jTbe report of the diaxharged weapons bad, of course, aroused- the in mates of the fort, and a volley of mus ketry now rolled along the para pets, send ing showers of bullets about the person of the daring sharp$hooter. The next moment a large body of armed men is sued forth, when Torn deemed it expedi ent to fail back apoa the rendezvous of his companions. For some reason or other, which the green-jackets could not then -understand, the rebels did not attempt a charge upon this occasion,' contenting themselves with an exchange of '-shots,'', which resulted in the loss "of a, few men on both sides. Al ter the .expiration of a few hours the eneiny. withdrew to the fortification, from which they kept up a desultory fire with some of their heavy pieces. It was about twelve o'clock when Tom B , having been relieved by his friends, left the place for the purpose of seeking some sp t where he could obtain the repose which his previous' exertions rendered necesiary. , He did not care to return to the camp that night, as the way was long and tedious ; besides being guarded by sentinels whose troublesome challenges he did uot wish to encounter! A short walk cirried him to the bank of the York river, where a small skiff, lying upon the beach, seemed to invite him to make it his loiging for the night Peering into the boat, and perceiving that it was dry, thei sharpshooter pro ceeded to make his bed a .yet y simple arrangement consisiing of a blanket and an overcoat. There were two paddles in the bow, which, .vvith the help of his cartridge-box and cap Tom soon convert ed. Then, with his valuable rifle by his side, well sheltered from the dew by the folds of his blanket, Le extended himself npon, tiis luxurious couch and was soon buried in a deep slumber, which, must have lasted many hours,- for . when he awoke he 'could perceive that; the sky above hnn was tinged ' with the beams of the rising sun. The next moment he became sensible of a rocking motion which pervaded the boat, while a; low, nrphug triurmer saluted his ears,. He raided hinueli upon his elbow, and an exclamation , of surprise escaped him, The fkifT was adrift in the river, aiid but a few hundred yards from the heights of York town.' He could see the Jark guns krwilin'g cv ;r ihe parapets of the fortifi cations, and also the rebel . sentinels as they walked to and fro, wnh iheir bayo nets glistening in lfa ' sunlight, while till higher up, fastened to a tall staff, he beheld the folds of the traitor flag fluttering in the wind. He thought he could distinguish a low murmur, of voice, mingling with the creaking of wheels and the tramping of many feet, as though the rebels were en gaged in secret preparations, though for what purpose he was puzzled to deter tiiinje. : s These noises hdvvever suddenly ceased, and while Tom was trying to account fcr the circumstance, he saw a dark body shoot upwards abqve tops of the trees in the distance, and continue to ascend ma jestically through the realms of spice.It was ihe Federal balloon. Ho ! "tio ! Johnny Reb," he muttered, ."that balloon ha's had tne .vonderful ef fect of silencing you. I'd give something 'big' to know what you are about,-only I can't stop to visit you at present. Your infernal tides have played me a fine trick, stealing a march upon me while I was asleep, and carrying nie under the very nose$ cf your guns a decidedly ticklish position I'm in, so I must get of it as quickly as I cau. Good-by, Johnny Grayback?" While thu3 muttering to himself, he had b:en engaged in loading his rifle, and the task being now completed, be seized a paddle and commenced to ply it with vigorous strokes, keeping the head of the boat pointed in the direction of the side of the shore occupied by the Federals, which was about three miles from his present position. Scarcely ' had hs paddle touched the water, however, when the report of a dozen rifles coming from the shore upon his right, announced that he had been discovered by the pickets of the enemy, who were stationed along the bank. l "Missed your man, that ' time," cooly muttered the sharpshooter, as the bullets whistled over his head, and he continued to ply the paddles with steady sirokes. ".The rascals are loading again," he ad ded, glancing quietly toward the spot where the rebels showed themselres up on the edge of the bank. The' next mortreat there was another cra$,h of musketry, and a second storm of bullets flew around bis head. While the men -were employed in loading a third time, however, Tom, raised his rifle to his shoulder tnd and taking deliberate c : a c : fx ONE AND INSEPARABLE,' NOW AND FOREVER." NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, aim at' the tallest of -the group, fired ths. piece with his usual success. The rebel threw up his hands and fell into the wa ter. " "ThatUl ao for the present, solilo quized the rifleman, as he again turnvd to his paddle. . Volley after volley was now ired upon him until he was out of range. Then, upon looking back, he could sde tho enemy leaning upon their pieces and shaking their fists at hitn with menacing jeslures. . The next moment, however, he beheld a large boat, manned by a dozen of the rebels, shoot out from a cove and move toward him. The oc cupants were provided with oars, and the powerful exertions they made evinced their determination to overtake the fugi tive. The greenjacket rose upright, and! has!ily scanning the distance between himself and the shore, on the one hand, and that of his pursuers cn the other, perceived that the latter ; would succeed in reaching him long before he could ar rive at the point of his destination.' In this critical position. Tom decided to raly upon his rifle. He loaded the weapon, took deliberate aim at the ad vancing boat, and fired. A loud yell of pain and , the suspension of a couple of the oars announced the effect of his shot. Nevertheless, the remainder of the crew continued their exertioasand the boai'kept on its course, rapidly shortening the dis tance between it and the skiff of the sharpshooter. But the latter quickly re loaded his rifle, and again -pointed the death-dealing tube apon his pursuers. The sharp report of his piece rang upon the morning air, and was followed by a second cry of agony from the advancing boat, while another pair of oars hung usel ss over her side. The compact po sition of the enemy afforded Tom an op portunity of "picking off" more than one of his enemies at every shot ; and, as the crew had not brought their muskets with them, they were unable to avenge the loss of their companions. But the yells and execrations, which now broke from their lips warned the daring rifleman of the fate in store for him should he tall into the hands of the enraged "gray tacks." Fully realizing the- dagger of jii-po sition, though not in tho least unnerved by it, he continued to load and fire with rapidity and at the same time with the steady coolness which always character ized his movements. Every s,hot told with feaiful effect, and by this time the craft was within a hundred yards of that occupied by the Sharpshooter, there were but five men . remaining', and those had thrown themselves into the bottom of the boat, hoping thus to escape the unerring contents of the long iifle which was arrain bearing upon them. Bat as the sharp ominous crack of the piece rattled upon the air, one of them threw up his hands and rolled over on his back. Four men were now ail who remained in the boat capable of performing duty, and it was evident that they were panic stricken by the fearful effect of the rifleman's fire, for al'hough they grasped the handles of their oars they did not full a stroke. In the meantime Tom proceeded to reload, and the next inomeut had raised his piece for aaother shot, when one of the men waved a white handkerchief about his head and shouted: "Stop your firing, for God's sake, and leave some of .us to. carry our dead and wounded to the shore." "Certainly!" replied' Tom,-as he re placed his rifle in the bottom of the skiff. Good-by l'5 The rebels now turned their boat's head towards the shore they had left, and pulled rapidly away, while the sharp shooter resumed his paddle, directing the little craft toward the Federal side of the river, where he -arrived without fur thei opposition, and related his adventure to his comrades. A few days afterward the news of tb.9 evacuation of lorktown -spread like wildfire through the army, and Tom B was no longer at a loss to understand the meaning of the noises he heard while floating under the guns of the rebel for tifications. Th? preparations for depar ture had been commenced even then, but were ingeniously concealed from the ob servations of the Federal aeronauts. It is said that some of the vermin in the camps at the South thrive so wonder fully and have grown so large that the letters "I. F. W." are plainly to be seen on their backs, like ths creases in the shell of an old-fashioned mudVturtle. The soldiers av it meaus "In for the war. r mf Railroad Superintendent Twitchell, in a spjech nt Brookline, Mass., last week, said: "I see before me some twenty men who were there a vacancy on any of my gravel trains'." would rush .to get it ; but the chance of death there is far greater than on the battle-field, while it is all gravel and no glory.' - A - n . . .

Grant was born at Point Plea sant, Clermont county, Ohio, on the 27th day of April, 1S22, and is consequently only ia his forty-second year. His fath er, Jesse R. Grant, a tanner by trade, is a cative of Pennsylvania, and was born ia Westmoreland county in 1794, and i3 now living at Covington, Kentucky. " The Grant family is ol Scotch extraction. In the early part of the sixteenth cen tury two brothers emigralpd from Scot land to the colonies. One settled in Connecticut and the other in New Jer y. From the one who located in the i n iuvt Lo'oijy 1i?tc sprung thesG.-ants of the North, and from the one in the latter the Grants of the Suuth. - The mother of Gen. Grant was Han nah Simpson, a woman remarkable for good sense, attention to her domestic duties, and serious Christian character, blended with easy manners. She is a type 'of the mothers who produced the heroes of the Revolution. In JS18 she removed, with her father, John Simpson, from Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, where she was born, to Clermont county, Ohio, and was wedded in June. 1S21, to her present husband. Ulysses is the first child born of that marriage, and the "8," in his . name stands for Simpson, the name of his mother's family. It is significant, however, . that the Jntials TJ. S." stand for the United States and 'Unconditional' Surrender," .by which sobriquet he is so well and popularly known in the army. Jesse R.Grant emigrated with ; his father's family to the Northwestern Ter ritory in 17D9, and settled in what is now Columbia county, Ohio. In ISO! the family removed to Deerfield, in what is now Portage county, i i Jesse subsequent ly went to Ravenna, and for a few years carried on a tannery there. In 1S20 he located iu southwestern Ohio, where, as we have seen, his illustrious son was born. - - ' ' In father and son' that mixture of cor diality with reserve, of resolution with caution, and earnestness with soberness so prominent in Scotch character, are so striking that one might reckon on a more :mrr.ediat-? foreign extraction. Like his traitorous opponent, Joe Johnston, though American for several generations, Gen eral Grant is Scotch in many of his qualities. In his boyhood he always exhibited a business turn, and was never witheut some particular purpose in hand requiring responsibility, perserverance, and zeal serious enough for'one mature in years. An incident in point will illus trate this. At the age of twelve he aspired to the management of his father's draught team, and was entrusted with it for the pur pose of hauling some heavy hewed logs, which were to be loaded with ihe aid of levers and the usual appliances by sever al stout men. He came with his team and found the logs; but not the men. A boy .of more imaginative, genius, and of equal but differently directed contrivance might have laid down to listen or dream, or build houses of. chips. Ndt so with this boy, who, unlike others, acted upon the idea that where there was a will there wus a way, and hesitated not at the undertaking. Observing a fallen tree, having a gradual upward slope, he unhitched his horsTes, attached thera to a log, drew it horizontally to the tree, and then drew one end of it up the inclined trim!!, higher than the wagon: truck, and so as to protect a few feet over, and thus Continued to operate until he had brought several to this position. Next he backed the wagon under the projecting ends, and finally, one by one, hitched to and' drew the logs lengthwise across the fall-! en trunk on to his waenn, hitched up again, and relumed with his load to his astonished father. This anecdote is well remembered by old citizens of Georgeton, Brown county, Ohio, where Grant spent his early boy hood. This incident, being similar to many others, will not admit of any inter pretation other than evidencing an origi nal and uncommon power ol adapting measures to conditions. Rev. G. D. of Fayette county. Arkansas, one of the genuine forest born orators, preaching not long since, on the glory of the saints delivered lbs fol lowing burst of native, which is to good to be lost: Who, mybrethran, can des cribe the glory of a saint? Why, nothing on earth can liken it. If you" drill a ho!e thrciigh the sun and put it on your head for a crcwn, and split the moon in sunder and put the pieces on your sholders for eraulettes if yea tear down the starry curtain of the skies and wrap it arouad your body for a rote, and ride to hea ven on the light-ning wings of the temp-f st thi3 w iil be as cothing to the glory cf the taints! NO. 31. For the last forty year3 Eastern Ten nessee has been cursed with an aristoc racy, whose headquarters has been sticking out whenever a family owned from three to ten kinky-headed negroes. This was an aristocracy founded alone upon the nigger, and so far ha3 it car ried its insolence for years, that when one of these'upper tens would speaks to the wife or daughber of an honest machanicor a decent laboring man, they have regarded their act cf speaking as one cf great eondecension! It was not sufficient for the World to know that thes high-flyers were the de- jtejr.' -.-is, in a direct nue. trom some ol ! foreigners who had been-' soM-nn upon shares to pay their passage to this country! It was not sufficient to ' knovV that their illustrious predecessors had taken their start in life by pebdiing pins and nedles, by spading up gardens for other people, or by entering other peo ple's lands, and, by hook or by crook, se curing, their titles. Through th mercy cf God, the firm ness of Mr '. Lincoln, and the madness of the Southern Confedracy, we are all a bout to find a common levrl, when we can at least boast that the Lord is the maker of us all. He has not heretofore been he tiiaker ofus all, but the time3 are changing! It will require lamp3 and gas light in day-time to find the aristoc racy of this town. The dirtiest branch of the concern is following ia the rear of Longstreet's army; some cf thera are attempting rapes upon" decent women; some are losing' what little they had ac cumulated by playing cards; and others of them are killing .themselves drinking mean whisky.. The days of their great ness and glory are over, and they are standing now A where thVir merits, Con duct and associations by right- have placed them! KnoxVille Whig. A gentleman came to Hartford to at tend a Convention in 'ft public hill. He reached the building ia which . tLe Hall is situated but found it difficult to discorer the meeting, being puzzled by winding stares. He " opeud various doors. on his way up, without getting the right one. Now it, sohappens that a suit of rooms in the building i3 occupied by a man and his wife. The wife was in her bedroom, which leads from the hallway taking a bath and was therefore not in a proper dress to receive a vis itor ia her natural Eve custome, when the rural gentleman opened the door to her room, which she had neglected to lock. He had got within the doorway before ihe lady discovered him, and he was so astonished that he 'moved nei ther erne way nor the other. She applied the time pretty liveiy in gathering up some articles of apparal about her per son. All of a sudden the wondering mortal at the door hurst out: Midarn, I'm trying to find the convention- Hall, but I Judge from appearances this isn't the place. She thought so loo. It is stated that a substitute for cotton h3S been discovered by a firm in Liver pool, which with length of fibre, delicact elasticity, great strength, are equal a least to East India Cotton. It can be produced to any amount at 61 per pund. It has been patented in France, and its applicability and utility are' so evident that ihe minister of the Interior has in timated his intention of forwarding its use by all means in his power. They've got down in Courtlaid county an oil fanner, noted for lii? greedine3 and his keen lookout for a spot wherein to turn a penny hencstiy, orhe isn?t very particular) the reveise. A while ago he succeeded by accident in raisins" a very large hog. It was soon noised abroad; and the people in that vicinity began to call on the old man to see the moustorsily." A gentleman from our "taown" was stopping awhile in the village, and hearing of the "porcine,"' and so much said about it, desired to see the sight, and having obtained directions as to the "locale," started for the spot: Arrived there he met the old gentleman and inquired about tha "animile." "Wall, yes," the old fellow said; "he'd got such" i" critter; rai'ty big'ua; but he guessed he'd have to charge hira about a shillin for lookin' at bim." The strang er look at the old man for a minute or I so ; pulled out the desired cein; handed it to him, and started to go off. "Hold on says the other ; "den't you want to see the beg?'
