How tmr Soldier Sleeps You would, 1 think, wonder to eee men lie right down iu the dusty road, under the full noon aim of Tennes see aud Alabama, nnd fall asleep iu a minute. I have passed hundreds of such sleepers. A dry spot is a good mattres; the flap of a blan ket quite a downy pillow. Yon wonld wonder, I think, tn tee a whole army corps, as I have, without a shred of a tent to blert themselves with, lying anywhere and everywhere in tin all night rain, and nut a growl or a grumble. I bus curiout to teo whether the pluok and good oatuio were washed out of them, and ao I made my way ont of the snug, dry rjuurters I aio ashamed to say I occupied, nt five inhe morn ing, to see what water had done with them.

Application wat yesterday made by Alexander CnmpMI for tlie diechnrgo of Groat house, under tho President's proclnma tion of amnesty to nil rebels under a ccrtnin rank in tho army and navy who tako the oath of allegiance, a condition with which Great house hua complied. The application waa op posed on Ihe ground that Grenthouso had tak en the oath otioo before in order to get through our lines, and violated il, Tho mutter will lie decided on Mondny. Hiirpeiuliug obstinately refuses tn tnke any oath, nnd is as bitter against tho Government as ever. Bulletin. Negro Soldikhs. There seem to ho a disposition nn tho part uf sumo of tho rebel lender to back down a little ou their harsh treatinclil'of negro soldiers taken prisoners. In Ihe rebel Congress a disoussinn aroao con cerning negro soldiers, when Mr. 1' note intro duced n resolution thnt the Judiciary commit tee be instructed to iiinuiro into Ihe expedien cy of the government distinguishing in its pris oners of wnr of African descent between those who enlisted iu the North as freemen and those who, as tlavet in the South, had takeu up arms, und who. falling into our hands, by the principles of international law become again the prop rty uf their owners. Mr. Footo laid that tliu commissioner of Exchange of Prison ers. Col. Onld, was in favor of the new law be ing amended. It was true that it wua a most revolting and hnrbarous thing for the North lo enlist negroes in its nriries, hut he believed we were bound to recognize ihein ns prisoners of wnr but not so with the slaves who took up arms. Unless Ibis were done Ilia Commission er thought it wonld place a great impediment iu the nny nf effecting an exchange of prison ers, and postponing it indefinitely. The mat ter was referred to the Judiciary committee fur consideration. IIonoiiaiji.e Conditions. Many years ago in what ia now a flourishing city in lint Suite, lived a stalwart blacksmith, fond of his pipe and hie joke. Ilo was also fond nf a blooming daughter, whose many graces and chnrnis had ensnared tho affections of a susceptible young printer. The couple, after a reason of billing and cooing "engaged" themselves, and uoth ing but the consent of the young lady' "pa rent'' prevented their union. To obtain this, au interview was arranged, and the typo pre pared a little speech to astonish and convince the old gentleman, who ant enjoying hit favor ite pipe in perfect content. Typo dilated upon the fact of their long friendship, their mutual attachment, their hopes for the future, and like topics ; aud taking the daughter by Ihe bund aid : " I now, sir, nsk your permission to tram- plant this lovely flower Irom its parent bed V but hia "pheliuki" overcame him, he forgot the remainder of hi rhetorioul flourish, blushed, stammered and finally wound up with "from Its parent bed, trio mv own.

Tho following Important paitnge occur) in a late speech made by Hon. Kcvordy Johnson, of Maryland, in the United Stntes Setmto i " It might be admitted, that in the eye nf the Constitution slaves are property in those States whero they are so held ; but they are persons also. Representation in Congress it bused on tho fact that they are persona, Though tlaves, they are men. They owe allegiance by birth, and though tho Supremo Court has decided that nntler the clause defining the jurisdio',on of that Court they nro not citizens, In relation to other clanaea of the Constitution it may he far different. They have the prnteo'ion of the Government, to a certain extent at lenst, and why should they not contribute to Us defense? Aa property, they may be taken for the ptiblio use on compensation to their owners being made. At to the compensation, siltne com plaints had been made, and juatly, perhaps, at he thought, in regard tn the manner in whioh the law bad been executed hv some of tbe ngentt of the Government. This, however, should not induce him to lift hit voice in the Senate or bis arm nut of It to weaken or em barrass tho Goverutnont in its efforts to sup press the rebellion. When the authority of the Government ia restored to its full extent, then inquiry might and would be made Into all tuoh matte ia. Aa to the eluvo himself, compensa tion divested tha owner of all hi) rights and io facto emancipated him. It would be di) grucel'ul, after the employment ol colored men to defend Us existence, that this Government should permit them to return to slavery, He thanked God thnt they never could be re-cn-alaved. It gave him pleasure to romember that when he formerly- had the tumor of occu pying a seal on this floor, in 1847. he deolared, iu a debate upon the subject of slavery, that it was wrong as a system, morally and politically, and especially economically. Slavery was in defensible. The people of this country were rapidly beooming wiser on tliii subject." A BATTLE BONG. The effect of a stirring aong or tone It often eloctrionl. The Western nrntiet have one of this character entitled "The Bntllo Cry of Freedom," which it described as having a moat powerful effect. In either Grnnfa or Hose crans' army it only need bo started to bo caught up from camp to camp, till it spreads for milca over the whole army. By order of a General commanding one division of tha army of the Cumberland, tho Colonel of each regiment it dircoted to ilnrt "The Battle Cry" whenever tho army goes into action, and the effect of thousands of voices united upon the churua, 'Tho Union forovor I hurrah, bovs, linmtli I 1 llowu with the traitors I up with the stars I We're innrchiiiir tn the Held, boys! inarching to the fight! Hhoiii itiK the Bailie Cry of Freedom 1" is described as awakening a freuzied enthusi asm perfectly indesnribtiblo. It is evident from its effect that this is one of the few snugs not written "to order," but writ ten because the author could not help il, The great number of thrilling circumstances under which this aong has been sung iu tlio army, add lo its popularity.

The eiigugemeut took place ut Milliken't lien I, a lew miles north ol Yicksnurg. A captain, lirst lieutenant and uliout eighty men wero taken prisoners. Since their captivity their fate has been involved in profound mystery. Nothing official could be learned concerning them, and Irom the well known vimhotivoiiess of the rebel military authorities the worst was apprehended. Information has been received at the War de partment, hy way nf Texas, prove thnt these apprehension) were but too well founded. It appears that Ihe prisoner) wero conveyed into the country teverul miles, and phiued in close confinement. No intimation of tlieir fate win given them. Afler several dnys the ofliuera were tnken out nt dead of night, aud I lie word given nut that they had escaped. It now ap pears that they were hanged without previous notice or semblance uf trial, iu obedience to a secret order from the rebel Secretary of War. A few days iifterward the other prisoners also mysteriously disappeared, and there is 110 doubt that they, also, were secretly murdered br di rection of the Kichnioiid aiithoritiea, What retaliation shall be indicted for those most bar burous atrocities, it yet to bo determined.

The lighting of the lamp) and candle had hardly finished when the liquid gas In a transparency on the high altar, set on fire Itt wood work, and wrapped iu flumei a kind of tabernacle wholly composed of oanvasa, pasteboard and wood. In less than two minute), the altar, about twenty-three yards high and ten broad, wns an inextinguishable bonfire. Tho advance nf the fire wat perhaps even more rapid than the panio of the audience. When the fire had flown from the alar to the -roof tho flock of dovoteea rushed to the princi pal door.

Then, the flame) having orept along the whole roof, and consequently released the lamp) of oil and liquid gaa from the oornioes to which they wero strung, a rain of blue fire poured down open the entangled throngs' below.
