Tho following curious "dream" we find in the Springfield (Mo.) Journal, of Sept. 15th, and publish it by request of one of our citizens for the benefit of the curious : The following dream was related by the "re liable gentleman" from Kichmond : One dat, a short time ago, while sitting in a liotel in Richmond, V'a., a total stranger to every jtjo in the city, I took up a daily paper for the jnirpose of passing away an idle hour, and for my further comfort I seated myself in the recess of 11 bay window, and was thus wholly hidden from the view of any who might chance to enter the room. I was lite one solitary occupant of file room und liad but just becomi interested in the latest news, w hen I heard the door of the roo.u open and tho footsteps of two persons jippri achiug. They seemed to be talking confi dentially together, and I thought it my duty to make known my ji es n -o by some sign so that I might not hear anything not intended for my far, hut on peering into tne room, itniigine my surprise when recognized in the occupants, Jeff. Davis a id his traitor friend, Toombs of Georgi i. 1 he-i'aied no longer b it settled myself back in in, seat, and with t'ue intention to listen to the conversation w luc'.i was carried on in a low tone. "But," said Toombs, "Mr. Davis, you must not give way to the vagaries of your brain. Come, tell me all about this wonderful dream, und my word for it, you will feel better after th, recital. U.iVH, rising, turned the key in the door, and resuming his seat close by Toombs, gave the following version of the dream thai dis turbed him. Said he, ' had .1 party of fi tends to supper last night, who prolonged their visit to a late hour. 1 tite heartily during ihe evening and ex perienced a slruuge feeling ot heaviness before retiring. My room you know is well supplied with large windows, and the night being a splen did one, I lay o i my back looking out at the heavens, sparkling as it were with diamonds, and ruminating on the destiny of the Confederacy. How long 1 continued thus I know not but steal ing over my senses, it appeared to me, instantly came a clear perseptiou of our cause from the beginning. 1 thought myself in Washington in in the same room w here w e all met that night to perfect our plans for the destruction of the He public. I thought you were there and lirckin ridge and all the rest, nnd I seemed to live over again tho closing scenes which were enacting in Congress, and I was startled from the contem plation by a slow, deep, solemn voice, close by my pillow, saying, 'Jefferson Davis ! Jeffer son Davis !' This was the beginning, startled and looked round to see who it was that spoke in those awful tones, and a cold chill of horror crept over me as I saw a dim, shadowy figure disappear in the darkness. Presently my gaza became fixed and before me passed the whole Southern land, one State after another. Mary land heaving and tosing upon the waves of the ocean, doubting which way to plunge ; Virginia had a similur exterior, but the most deadly, damning hate rankling in her heart ; Georgia, crazy with the tnormous weight of her sins and her passions, Anxious to give them vent in the warm blood of the Northern heart ; and so passed they all one nfter another, the last appearing still more hell ish than the first. No sooner were those ended than by some singular change in my position I imagined myself standing on the top of Hunker Hill, and onee more the panaram.i ol the States was present before me. This time :t was of the North. Cut why enter into the details of this vision, for saw them in all the beauty of their free system ; th children on their way lo school, the old people at the noonday prayer meeting ; the farmer in his field, and the ss holar in his study. All this passed rapidly before me, and I felt fire in my heart that to my disordered j brain threatened to consume me entirely. Again the scene changed and I found myself on a height overlooking Charleston harbor, and just at that moment tlie Star of the West was attempting to carry provisions to the starving garrison within. I saw the shot fired, forcing her return, and rny THE STATE heart sank within me as 1 heard that deep, solemn ! streaming in st rny w indows. The scene seem nt her record in the revolutions! v wsr. The arms. In lf - t, at eal ti'l.fHM) men were re oiec close U-side me ay, 'J. tTcrMi I i i ! ' 1 -o re il and my d joni -o pi ph t C t!i..t it n . number okii ei I .

Once more I imnnincd myself stand- inr on the. summit of Hunker Hill and the whole North lay spread out at my feet, and my God ! the clinico that had come over this land ' When from this very spot mid extending out to its far- thest corner, there was a hurrying to and fro men bhoiihWinu; their muskets nnd nil teudinjj to ona point Washington. My eves fairly blazed from my head when from the clear blue sky above me I heared once again the mysterious voice ringing in my ears, 'Jellerson Davis ! Jef ferson Davis! behold the armed legions of the North ; see the ngony of parting ; see the mise ry and desolation that tire to follow. Jefferson Davis, this is your w in k !' My limbs trembled as I heard these words uttered in these awful tones. My brain reeled and 1 fell headlong from my position." At this point JetV. Davis stopped talking, nnd wiped tho cold sweat from his brow, Toombs remarking that "it was a n.ost wonderful dream most wonderful." Jetfi rson, resuming, said, "I thought that my full was not sudden, but that I occupied sonic months in my descent, an 1 (luring those mouths i could see the Anaconda tightening its folds till around the Confederacy and I felt, the certainty that nil was lord, that wo should be crushed in one common destruction. I saw Ihe capture of Forts Henry and Dom lson, and a thrill of hor ror crept over tne ns I saw tli.it traitor to North and South, Floyd, steal away in the darkness of liie night, leaving the rest to destruction. Along the lines I saw onr armies possessed of fearful dread, (lying from Nashville and Coluui bus ; 1 saw the battle of Pea Midge, and in al mo.st the twinkling of an eye, the Grand Army of tho Potomac, in all its mighty propor tions, appeared before me, and 1 felt that all was lost. Again the solemn voice rang out in my ears, 'Jefferson Davis ! Jellerson Davis ! thy doom is sealed meet thy reward !' No sooner were these words uttered, than in the distance, I heard an unearthly shouting and yelling that like red hot iron drawn through my heart grated on my feelings. Soon there came in sihgt. w hat I found to my horror to be a body guard of 'imps' sent f.om the bottomless pit lo bring me to jndgnien. Placing themselves around and under my body, we descended rapidly towards Hades. Soon we found ourselves landed on a barren rock in the most desolate place possible for you to imagine. Stepping round lo my view a wide entrance, and it grew the most beautiful flowers, nnd 1 eeon.ed to hear the most beautiful sounds imaginable. Ono of my guards here spoke to me and sai l, 'child of mortality, follow!. lie led the way an 1 1 followed closely. It was long before the beauty of the enlr.iuco passed away Mid all became dark, dreary and desolate. Traveling wli.it seemed to me a great di- tniee, we at last came to a great iron door, the nails on it seemed to sparkle and b'.;7.: with some intense heat within. Hero sat an elderly imp as a door keeper, and by his side was a very largo book, in which were written in letters of fire the names of all the damned who preceded me. 'Child of sin,' spoke the old man, 'who art .in. it ,.. . . itinugn : aim i answereii, 'V erny, my iumiii reels nnd 1 k-i'.wiiot.' 'Child of sin tell me bv what name thou wert known to earth V anil I ans wered, 'J efferson D.iv s.' No sooner had I ut tered this name than the imps, w ith a horrible, never to be forgotten screech lied to a distant corner, and stood stal ing with gleaming eyeballs, that seemed to loathe me w ith a most tremend ous loathing. 1 tried to approach them, but they would not permit, it, seeming fearful of any ton tact with me. Horror strit ken nnd amazed at this conduct of those I thought would be my friends, returned to the door which 1 now found Oj.en. No sooner had I entered than the door closed with a heavy sou. id and I heard rolling in the distance rny name as I was introduced to the society ot the damned. Onward, and on wjrd I found myself traveling, and ever and anon, as 1 passed by some poor wretch writhing in all the misery of the lost, would turn my eyes to catch one look of sympathy, one glance of commiseration for my fate, but in vain. All seemed to look upon me with A dreadful h rror, and pointing their burnt fingers of scorn as I passed, whispering to each other, 'I loll is dis. graced I Hell is disgraced !' Hurrying faster on, I at hist f uind myself before an open door, hav ing printed over it in letters of lire, 'Enter, and receive thy doom!' I entered and there in the middle ot a larg apartment was raised a throne of living tire and upon it sat the most awful bein.' I ever beheld. On his head was a crown of living scorpions and around his imek and coiled in his bosom Wi.s the dea 1 ra tiesnake. I had but a short lime to look, wneti 1u a .oice of thiii.d ti tle said to me, 'Who art thou?' And through the long arches through wh ch I hid passed, cam the answer, 'Jefferson Davis! Jcff'-rson Davis! Hell is disgraced, cast him out cast him out !' Transfixed with horror, the Devil seemed to gaze upon me, and in a voice of awful depth and Harshness, said to me, 'Jefferson Davis, once upon a time, 1 w ho now sit here Jailor of the damned, ambitious to 1 e greator than the greatest rebelled, and was cast forth, and this sentence was pas-eJ upon me to sink down to Hell and have dominion over ail the iniquity of the worid i Union, but when we hear the npologists of the re .i--..L..Ie .ii--. i il. ... ... . . ... until ft greater than I should appear, w hen I should oe released and my dom uiou be given to him.

Jefferson Davis, said he, rising, 't.ikeiny seat and crown.' Ashe I uttered these awful wo ds my blood seemed to : freeze in my veins, and the most horrid wail of rebel and traitors.

Tim S..irainetito Union, mflr quoting the charges of th New Yolk Ex pre to tho effect that the President has been actuated entirely by political considerations, in making military appointments, tefutes them by referring to the speeches of Latham, in which he claimed that out of two hundred Urigadier Gen erals, at least a hundred and seventy five Were Democrats. The Union closes as follows : It was this same class of Democratic party politicians who controlled affairs when the Mexi can war was in progress. In that war President Polk pursued a vastly different policy from the ono adopted by President Lincoln. No General of volunteers who went to Mexico was appointed by President Polk who was not a Democratic politician. Such men as Win. O. Hutler, Gideon J. Pillow, Caleb Gushing, etc., etc., were the men appointed Generals by Polk, and a Democratic innate, conlii men the anpointmenls. W hiiis were then good enough for soldiers but not for Generals. To such an extent was party feeling and action carried, that an attempt was openly made to supersede. Gen. Scolt bv the appoint ment of Thomas II. lietit.on, a Democratic Sen ator, Lieutenant General. An act authorizing the President to make the appointment was lost in the Senate, though every Democratic Senator resent voted for the bill except Calhoun and McDuffii, thi Senators from South Carolina. 1 hey refused to become parties to su. li an out rage on General Scott, as well as on the army, mid the scheme failed. In those days a Demo cratic President conferred the commission of General upon none but Democrats; in these times, which try men's souls, a liepub Mean President appoints one hundred and seventy five Democratic-Generals out of two hundred. A stronger illustration of devotion to party on the pari of one and devotion to country before parly on the part of ihe other, could not be riven. CoNHKDEKATK CfllltBSCV A flielld h.'lS SCtlt us some interesting spaeimetis of rebel currency, consisting of a ten dollar note of the "Confeder ate States of America," and a five Cent promise to pay on the "Hank of Tennessee." The first named biil is payable "six mouths after the rati fication of a treaty of peace between the United States and the Confederate States," and "is funda ble in eight per cent, stock or bonds" of the rebel experiment. On the left is a figure ot a half dressed, hard lookir g female, out of employment, who contemplates will) no appearance of gratifi cation the legend engraved before her, indicating the time when the trite is to be paid. A pitch fork protrudes over her left shoulder, from which we infer that the figure represents the Genius ol something or other, pertaining to the Coufeilcra- y.at which the devil has made a "pass" an 1 tin luckily missed, ( )n Ihe. tight stands the figure of the best looking Indian lemnlc we ever saw, whose duty seems 'o consist in steadying a top pling 'X"' with her "left" while with her other hand she holds up, in a tiresome poith n, some thing which has the appearance of being an cur of Indian corn. In the center is still an other Indian, surrounded by a promising fiinily, hold ing in his hand a totuakaw k, from w hich we infer that he is one of the "plumed riders of the desert" who at Pea Ridge performed such wondrous feats in defense of the Confederacy. Hoth these notes are printed on coarse paper, and are got up in about the style of California poll tax re ceipts. Marysville (C.il.) Appeal. ftew Pnlanil nnd the Chivalry. It is so common in these days of national troubles to hear Massachusetts and the whole of the New Engl md States spoken of in a sneering st:d disparaging manner, that we cannot refrain from presenting a few statistics for the benefil of those chivalrous individuals who would have the w orld believe that bravery was n thing never inherited by a man born north of Mason and Di xon's line. Let tho pompous, self sty led, high toned geiithiiifit, w ho love to irate about the valor of the South, and continually brand the men of New England ns white livered Abolition ists, remember that during the war which iibera ted us from British tyranny and gave us a sepa rate n it:o;ial existence, Massachusetts the much dl-solsed little 11 1 v State alone furnished more soldiers than all the S''ile toulf, of IVntisy Iva. j Xapoleon, who, alter Ins abdication, had retired nia. Let them remember, also, th.t tho great j ,r"" I'arw, and was awaiting the means of es imd immaculate State .,f Virginia only furnished K"!''.1 l" America : loi more men for the revolutionary war than Napoleon was almost alone at Malmaison, ex little Rhode Island, the smallest S'tale in thc!,-'Tl d Hassano, Lavaletle, do Rovigo, Union. And let it be indeli.ibly impressed upon U'Ttainl, ho scarcely ever went out. Except their memories that Sr.uth Carolina which issoj'" brothers and mother and (J.i.-cii Hoi tense, often compared to Massachusetts was in th"S.- da) s a nest of infei nal lories nnd traitors, and has so continued even down to tho present day. Under ordinary circumstances we should object to the publication of anything calling in question the bravery of any particular section of th bellion constantly blowing about the valor of tin j South nnd the lack of courage in the North, we deem it but just that the truth should be publish e l. Iv t those windy individuals blush for the want of courage or patriotism displayed by the fat in rs of the boasted Southern chivalry : Ihe men of New En"laiid were the first to rn - li to the Capital w hen it was thrcatend by ! lal servitv. frruu tho banning t tin oUo of tin I war. was 2.'!l. $."!.

A teamster in onr army was out rageoiisly rough, and yelled tit his mules very foolishly, annoying all around him. The General w ho happened not to be informed, once heard him and ordered him to stop such outcries. "And who arc you ?"' asked the driver. "I am the commander of this division," replied the General. "Well, then, command your division; am commander of these mules, and I'll holler as much as 1 please," roared the team driver. The I n ion ns it M as. This is a question very often harped on by discontented individuals, who fail to inform us what it is. Circumstances change many thinns. some of which can be remedied where loyalty is shown, while necessary acts to crush rebellion in several instances cannot. In order to u. dor sum! what is meant by the " Union as it was," we would ask those who urge it so strongly, if it means the restoration of slavery in the i)is trict of Columbia, tho enforcement of slavery against the will of the citizens of Territories, or the endorsement of acknowledging the right of n State to secede as the rebels claim accord ing to the Constitution? If not any of these, then wo respect fully nsk for inforiiialion, as we can see no change except emancipation, w hich is only nf'orced on disloyal persons. Probably a few loyal persons may suffer, but the Govern inent will make good their os-es. It our prop, city sullers in a disloyal section, we are satisfied lo see it destroyed, with firm belief that we would lie remunerated, besides enjoying the grat ification of seii ig onr enemy suffer to the full est extent. Tho few Union men in reluddom are not grieved about ihe safety of their proper ly, and il is all nonsense lor theso "I'nion as it was" pretenders to exhibit condolence, when the scziiig propensities of the Southern Confederacy are taken into consideration, liiichaiinn gave us enough 'of the "I'nion as it was," which left President Lincoln with a great civil rebellion to conquer. If we have not anticipated any of those "I'nion as it was' shrickers' ideas, wo will be pleased to know their definition. If I he idea of any State d siring lo emancipate is in opposition to tho "Union as it was," we can't see it, even in time of peace. In war, slaves being equal to horses, according to the law, both are sulect to confiscation, 'lhrso sapient philosophers, who s e nothing but objections, should explain them openly, like tho i cessionists do, in order that some sense may lie cxluoitcd in what tin y ;.d ! vocate.

Here is an unique opportunity which Provi lenco h is fun. i du d us. Wu should l e very guilty or very insane not to profit by it. Accordingly, 1 offer to put myself again at the head of the army, which, al my appearance will regain all its zeal, to fall desperately upon tho enemy, and nfter having punished him for his temerity, to restore the command to the Provisional Government. I pledge, ho added, my word as a gt neral, a sold ier, a citlcii, not to retain the command an hour beyond the certain and splendid victory which 1 promise to bring back, not foi myself, but for France. This proposition was, of course, rejected by Fouehe and his colleagues in the Executive Coin mission, but when General Hiker returned to Malmaison ho found Napoleon still in uniform, and w ith his aides de camp already to mount and set forth.
