"Thcre waa a ioui.i of rcvelrj It niht." Tbe moon was thinii: brijhily upon the poliah-d mu.-ket and gorgeous pquip- 4 ments of a sentinel in the scarlet uniform of the Iiuffa the-crack res iuient of the day as he traveled hi? lritf roun1 at the gnrdn gale of Greenwich Street, It-hind ihe residence cf Sir IJeniy Clin ton, ibe comniander-inichief of the Brit ish forces in America. Ill s'p.lwnrt fiur-1 and hi'h -prenadier cap made his thadow appear gigantic beneath il.erays of cur fu!l and glorious orb th-f Veit. ern mocn. Occasionally he would pause as if lti-tenir.j to the rich music which evr and anon swelled forth from the resi.1 nre of Sir IJrnry.and his thoughts turned upon the youth aud bauty ming ling in the dance within. Ouce or twice he pa:s.f-d the back of his hand across his eye.i m if to stay a truant tear tha was ealit;;: from its fountains. Hi memory ru.-hd to the daj's of his early h(;me in "neriy England." "By St. G"orje !" he muttered, half aloud, "I did not think I could be so childish! The found of the tune has put me in mind cf heme and old Devonshire.' Saying this, he broke out into ihe mil-1 Ml Me singing, I will stand respoi.si litary song cf General Wolfe, which, as ! tie to th Sergeant lor uch a breach of radiMon goff, he sung while passing up j th St. Lawrence, the night before he fell on the plains of Abraham: "Wby, noldiers, why Sbcali we be mrlaacliolj. b.-rs, Whose bufiuaas 'li to die f" Ao.

Hj wis raih er under the m.iiJie height, cf a hand some, well-maoe figure, and erect, mili tary carriage. His fact, was oval, and the features deciJe - ly handsome. Th t main expression of his countenance dis played frsnkness and sincerity. Hii scarlet coat was fared with buff, and buff l-reech-s, with white silk stockings, ado: ned th lower part of his person Such was the ball-room costume of ani cfnver of that period. "You seem melancholy to-night Majur Andre," said his fair companion. ' On such a ntght a this, you shouid be oth-r-wbe." And in such company, you shoul have addt-d. MUsBeekmau Rirlon nu- j fur this ai parent tpjietness. The though that this may be the last niht ti.at 1 th ever siend in Nt-w York, is nouh to make one fetl melancholy, is it not, fair lady ?" "Lare New York. Major Andre?" j aaid ih- young lady, with "some surprise 'Are you goiug south with Ljrd Corn waliis?" "A m lii r. Miss Berkman. must in form no one .f h's destiuition, and par ticularly on- tike yourself, with a touch of the rebel feeling towards your c?un tiymen. This much I will amwer I am not going south." "Some ne.v plan of Sir Henry's, I'll be bound." said the auhiug girl -1 do love Washington, and that is the truth. My father, it is certain, remains firm in his ailfgiance to King George; but 1, J go with our republican George h? soldier from Virginia " "I cannot say that I think le.-s of you for such feeling. Miss Bekman," said Andre; it is natural we should love our country. Washington is a brave sol- dier, and, from all I hear, a good man. , t f i right to take up arms Against his lawful King; and when he i3 taken, as he m ist be, he will end his days cu a eibbit." "I'll wager ycu this rose," said the merry-hearted rirl; in a lauuhinf tGnP. , . e t u , taking one from her hair, against the first new novel you receive by the Lon don packet, that you will suffer such pun ishment first and that you know is im possible. Major ; for my countrymen treat the King's officers with the highest respect, when prisoners. Spies only are hung, and neither Washington nor yourself are likely to undertake that profession.' It seemed if a spasm passed through the frame of the officer, for he trembled for an instant like a leaf, an incident which was long after remem bered by his fair cempanion when men tioning bis melancholy fate. You are ill, Major. Let ur go in.v "No, no," said he faintly ; "it was bin a momentary nervous affection, and has now passed. There are, at times, M:s Bekman, preemimr au of evil in Ihe human mind, that ctnne without real cause, and trouble us we know not why. . I cannot say bvTt that my physical health is as good as ev er it v.as. The night u louiiful, and the ,-ctne within Sir Henry's mmsion en chanti; but still th-re is a heaviness abr.ut my spirits ihut I cannot shake off. I tee a dr:ger before me, yet I know not where to guard or how to meet it. Though shadowy, it appear palpable and diMinct. Ah ! that song." At this moment, the silver tones of the sentinel's voice rang sweetly upon the ear with the words of the scng we have mentioned. Whilst thus engaged, the Major aud his fair companion sud denly appeared before him. In an in stant his voice was hushed, and his mus ket brought suddenly to "present arms," a tie stood motionless in true military position before his superior. "Nay. nay, Whituey cease not your joi.g," said the Major ; oa such a nigh! as this, I wonder not that you should 'icipjine. "I fehonlJ like uch better to hear it in full, sotdier," sid the lady. "I only know n, lady," said the sen tinel, "from hearing Major Andre sing it when I're been on duty at his quar ters. Perhaps he, madame, will consent to favor you with it." . "Wrll, Miss Bffck'man. I will not de ny you, tut I cannot e.;uil S hitnt-y in the oijg, as you vill soon fud out." He then commenced, and sang with Uttl inline -" - , b 1 . , ,. -plend r of the night, his pensive air. ! and the feeling with which he entered into the words of the song, gave it great j tff-ct. As he -concluded .he was suprisd j to hear the exrlamations. "Bravo, An j dre !" "Beautiful T' "Excellent !" from j numerous voices. In fact, he was ur ! rounded by a goodly portion of the ball room company, who had availed them- j selves cf a p-use in the dance to yisi: ; the rrarden. "Wtli done, Andre !" said a stout and portly gentleman in military ccstume. with a large s?ar on the breas-t of iu coat; "you shall hereafter bear the .itle of !ong r aster as well as Adjutant Gen. to His Majesty's troops in America. Bot come, man your politeness and jraiety seem to been a furlough to-night. The Baroness de Reidesel has been i'H.ing ah over for her partner.

He entered the ball-room ; and waltztd with Lady Reidesel, the wife of the Ilea-ian General, Burgoyne's second iu command at Saratoga. It was the last waltz. and ball-room scene ever en gaged in ly Andre the nightcf the lhh September, 1750. The bili was over, the guests had de parted, and it was waxmg towards day light, when Andre left the private closet of Sir H-itiry Clinton, and stood in the doorway looking towards the Bowling Green. "Now, my dear Major," said Sir Hen ry, "I bid you adieu. May success at tend your efforts. .. If your interview with Arnold terminates a wj have rea son to expect, West Point is ours, and General's commission awaits John An dre. Be cautious, I entreat." "Adieu, Sir Henry I go to terre my King and country. If I but J will not ay it. Sir, farewell." II shook the extended hand of Sir Henry with emotion, and as he stepped J . , , 1 i tuto ihe street, received, for ti e iait time, the military salute of a Bn:.i-h sen tinel, lie touched bis hat, and pass-d on. At the water's edge he tpraug into a boat, and was son after on the deck of the Vulture tloop-of-war, on his way to his final interview with Arnold. In a little more than ten days, the hish-minded icliTtr dangled oa a gib bu. His hepes of glory were forever clos ed in the dust and ashes of the grave. Somebody advertises in a New Yorkin0t those things which are needful to the paper "Lost overboard a lot of r - , Tisions." Poor fellov was sea-sick. ' ' Speed! of A- S- HulladaY, On ihe iiVYor the RtUrf of He Familits of ihe Stl'liers of Nebraska (introduc ed by Jlr. .Miller of Cass.) Ma. President: I feincertly regret to know that any gentleman en this floor objects to the introduction cf a bill de signed to relieve our soldiers and their families. Until a few days ago I did not dream of any opposition to such a noble and philanthropic iue-ure I could not think the soldier of our Te -ritory had a man here who wj'.J be so lost to the high and exalted emotions cf patnotifem as to refuse to vote mem or their families a dollar ! In the commencement of this mighty strule for Freedom and free institu lions, the Federal halls echoed this same traitorous cry: "net a man, nor a dollar for ihe war !" And still our ears are a luted by a similar cry in effect. If such . . f men could have exercised their feeling? no voice weuld have been heard, or hand uplifted to repel the attacks of rebels on the Flag of -our country ; and, instead of that flag, now waving over nearly, if not all, the States of the South, it would be trailing in the dust, at the fset Jeff. Davis and his minions ! No favor to the soldiers can be expect ed from their avowed political enemies. The other day, temporary power, acct deniuly. was in the hands of the enemy cf ihe Nebraska soldiers and what was done ? Why, Council File No, 42 an act to provide for the relief of the Ne braska Volunteers and their families, was, on a simple aaotton, indefinitely postponed ! It was not even treated with the usual consideration bestowed on wolves, wild cat and dog bills -'died the dtath of the malefactor" before receiv ing the consideration of the Council. For the sake of the reputation of this honorable body, I hope that record may never met the eye of the braye soldier boys of Nebraska. That it may be so (iaskeced by the deep aud damnable shades of .infamy . that. . no ..ray of light shall ever reach it, is the wish of every man who loves his country, and who is not a stranger to the holy and pure prompt ings of humanity ! Have not our citizens, now upon the "tented field" done their duty ? The gory battle grounds of Fort D ouelson, Shiloh flnrl Pittsb'ir'T T.nr.rlmiT tostifv to muuiuz if.y iu il., , brave anc men orous conduct, as well as their regimenal colors, torn and pierced by shell and bullet ! Members on this floor, receiving three dollars a day. think they are sacrificing much by bein away from their respec tive avocations ! Sir, contrast your ca'se with the soldiers. White you pocket this sum a day, wind your contented, copper ish lips around the "good things of hfe," nd repose on beds "as soft as downy pillows are,' the soldier is entitled to sixteen dollars a month, when the pay master comes, which is uual!y abut every three to nine months. His food consists of salt pork and beans, a lit'le rice and hominy, fresh, blue, sticky beef once or twice a week. Often he rests on the damp, cold, mother earth, with one pair of shoddy blankets drawn around hi weary limbs, and the "music to lull him into the arms of the god of sleep is the cold, biting, mournful sighing of the pass ing wind. Do you think the waking or sleeping hour3 of that soldier'can be hap py, when he knows the tender objects of lifers holiest affections, wife and children. or dependent father or mother, or help less brother or sister, are destitute writh ing under tha crushing burden of want ! Our soldiers do not ask for assistance without, a cause. Since going into the service a great change, as you all know, has taken place iu the price of every thing. It now costs over double to live, above actual suffering, to what it did when they enlisted. No adranc has teen made in their wages, consequently, the amount paid them does cot support their families. What. I ask. has Nebraska done for this class of her citizens ? " I hear a voice saying: "Th Legisla ture passed a resolution of thinks to our soldiers in the fHd, Inst winter, and I think that ought to be enough." Is this the way to treat a needy man, and his;ProveJ ils wldora unmasking ihe j suff-rin? familv I The darkest are that f shame aud sealmg the disgrace of the ! j - 0 t author to this subject.

How, I ask, hae other soldiers fpred ? Liberal bounties have been, paid tl ern, sanitary good have been shipped to their families, and millions of dollars worth distributed throughout the army. Besides all this, special acts of legislative bodies have in creased the monthly compensation- These facts cannot be denied But J. am mrt with the objection to the relief act, that it will involve the Territory in debt. Sup. j p03e ,njs 0i,jectj0Q bad prevailed all ever the North during the progress of the cation's efforts to sustain itself the slave holders' rebellion, would not our glorious Union be now rent in "twain, and the crack of the slave-driver's whip be heard, as in days past, throughout the South ? The argument is fallacious, and only con ceived in the mind of the man who votes "not a man nor a dollar for the war !" Our Territory to day is nearly, or en tirely, out cf debt. We have "bread enough and to spare." The plea of pov erty will not do. While others around us have opened their bowek of compas sion for the poor soldier and family, we have kept ours shut up, and contented our?elves with saying, be ye "warmed and filled." I hope the enemies of the bill will withdraw their objections, and lhat it will receive that consideration which its importance demands. Let the defenders of cur country have a real and substantial evidence of our appreciation of their services. But what is the ob jection ? I understand but one reason is assigned for the course of the gentlemen on the other side of the Housa, which is: "There is business of more impor tance before this body!" I hope Ne braska soldiers will not soon forget these urifeelmg and uncharitable words ; that they may be taught to their children and their children's children. Lanjruafre fails to describe the pcign ant grief thai will fill the heart Gf sol- titers' wires uml - chtldreo when -it a told them, that "there is buine3 of more importance before this subject of providing for their relief !

Sir, once more I plead, beg, and en treat, that the objection be withdrawn and the "bill be allowed to be introduced, that it may be considered and amended, if needed, and made apart ot the stat utes of the Territory ; thereby saying to the world thai Nebraska is willing to make all possible sacrifices to sustain the arm lhat is inflicting the death blow to Treason, and beatii g Lack the savage foe from our frontier. The scldirr demands a hearing; will you grant it? Hajcr General Pope. This excellent Illinois officer has ar rived in this city from Milwaukee, en route for the new and important position to which he ha3 been called the com mand of the Military Division of Mis souri, comprising the Department of Ar kansas, Missouri, Kansas and the North west. Throughout' the war Gen. Pope has been characterized by zeal, devotion, and a singleness of purpose lo tiie cause of the country. These qualities were severely tried in the events that follow ed his command in Virginia. The his torian of the war will find few mdivicual instances of more noble patriotism, than j the spectacle of this officer retiring from the ill starred field of failure on the Rapidan, not sullenly and sulkily to air his grievances before the people and re sent being ordered to a lesser and com paratively unimportant department, but with a zeal and determination carried into every act to actjuit himself in every thing fur the country and the caue. He was willing to leave to histcry bis redress of Hju.-tice, and the events have . hosts of Lee. General Poprj in his late Department has set an example which enhanced by his connection with a com- mand that at the outset premised to be . barren of all laurels. While we con- gratulate him on this conceded justice to his merits, it is even more gratifying and on broader grounds to see him placed in a bread military division hich has at times sorely needed qualities Jike his at the head of its affairs. Chicago Tri bune. Major General John Pope has arrived in this city, to take command of the new Military Division to which he has recent ly been appointed by the War Depart mem. His Division includes the De partments o; the Missouri, of Kansas j and cf the Northwest. The Departments of the Missouri and Kansas aretoJ:e consolidated and designated as the De partment of the Missouri, Major General Dodge in command, with headquarters at Leavenworth City. Tht Department of the Northwest is assigned to General Curtis, with headquarters at Milwaukee. General Pope's headquat tors wilKbe in St. Louis.

Louis Dcm. When Abraham Lincoln took the chair of the Presidency of the United States", he promised in his flat-boat lingo to "run the machine as he found it." Whether he has strictly kept his promise, those may doubt who choose to consider the subject. It is enough for us to know, that whether running his machine" in the pathway of his predecessors, or not, he has run with a stern, inflexible purpose, a bold, steady hand, a vigilant. active eye, a sleepless energy, a fanatic Upirit, and an eye single to his eud conquest emancipation. He has called, around him, in counsel, the ablest and most earnest men uf his country. Where he has lacked in individual ability,learn ing, experience or statesmanship, he has sought it, andha3 found it ih the able men about him, whose assistance he unhesitatingly accepts, whose power s he applies to the advancement of the cause he has undertaken. In the Cabinet and tha field he has consistently and fearlessly pressed on ths search for men who could advance his cau-e, and has as unhesitatingly cut eff all those who clogged it with weak ness, timidity, imbc-c.lity or failure. Force, energy, brains, earnestness, he has collected around him in every de partment. Blackguard and buffoon as he is, he ha? pursued his end with an energy as until ing as an Indian, and a singleness of purpose that might almost be called patriotic. If he were not an unscrupulous knave in his end, and a fanatic in his political views, he would undoubtedly command cur respect as a ruler, so far as we are concerned Abroad and at home, he has exercised alike the same ceaseless energy and cir cumspection. We turn cur eyes to Richmond, and the contest i appalling, sickening to the heart." Charleston Jlsrcury Jan. IQlh Advertising. The New York Sun has the following on the advantages of ad vertising. which is equally applicable to this latitude : "To properly appreciate the value cf advertising, over other methods of ma king one's busines known to the coramu- nity, we have only to instance the many larrre fortunes that have been derived from a sy-fmatic course of advertising ' a good article in the columns of this journal. Benjamin Brandreth who is now worth half a million cf dollars, at tributes his success to advertiiing, which began with small notices jn the Sun. Dr. Townsend, and many others, are living examples. Shortly af'er the war commenced Mr. Earnum concluded" that his expenses must be curtailed, and ac cordingly gave .orders to one cf his agents that his advertisements in the Sun must be cut down cne half. This was accordingly done. .A fv weeks later, the ' freat th-wmau" discovert d that bis daily icciijts were growing "smaller ly degress End beautifully less." He doubled Lis attracticxs X still ihe receipts were not increased. The matter became serious, and troub led Mr. liarnum so much that it disturn bed his slumbers, lie gave orders o double the size cf the advertisements. It was done, and ih; mult, as related by Parnum himself, was an increase cf $159 iiihis reef ipts the'flrst week, and per week r ubsequemly.

A ycupg lady recently iteppcdt icta a fancy dry goods store .and called for. a pair cf stockings, addressing herself u a nice little specimen cf imperial spot and moustached lip, that stocd behind the counter: "Haven't any article cf that came, miss, but we have beautiful hose cf silk and Lsma'shair which do you prefer, and what color do yoa ad mire ?" "Young gentleman," she re plied, "I called for a pair cf stocking! : I mean what I sny, and if this ihocks ycur mcdesty, you will excuse me. .1 know a tow-headed fellow ever the way who will sell me a pair cf stockings," and with this remr.rk she left the young embodiment cf starch, hair and ramrcdi to recover at nts leisure trom tne sncck givpn to his motility by this exces?irtly vulgah young lady.
