V. („ at Watson, O., Mrs Kate B. Sherwood, of Toledo, was elected "Coloneless" of the regi­ ment, the object being to honor the lady for ber great devotion to the soldier cause. Mrs. Sherwood was the founder of the Woman's Relief Corps, and the regiment of which aha is "ColonelessM was commanded by her husband, during the war. The Atlanta OonttituHon adds the following to the literature of Generfcfc and sentinels: One day Be iuregard, with several lesser lights, came upon a sentinel who had taken his gun en­ tirely to pieces and was greasing lock, stock and barrel. The great General looked like a thunder-cloud, bu* neither his flashing uulfona uor the scowl on his face had any eff iot on tit-' snotlnel, who quietly proaeeded to rub a piece of his gun. "3ay," remarked an officer,"that's Beauregard there; he s a sort of a General." "All right,'* said the unabashed sentinel, l,lf he'll wait till I get this gun together 1 wil1 give him a sort of «alute." \ Forgetting the C«nnt«rslga, ^ An amusing inoideot of a saldler forgetting the pass-word occurred on Sta ten Island during the early cam­ paign of tbe First New York Regi­ ment Volunteer Engineers. A good oatured soldier ol the Fatherland wao on guard, and the officer of the gjard had taken considerable pal as to in struct the sentinels In their, duty, so that when tbe guard rounds were made everything would be In order.

Wl>lle the President wssat Frederick city he passed a house containing a large number ol Confederate wounded. 'Stop said he, "let us go in here." Ao4 standing up in that hospital Mr Lliiuoiu said aloud that if tbe wounded men had ad objection bn would be glad to take them by the hand. .< ' The solemn obligations," said be, "which we owe to our country and posterity, compels the prosecution of this war. hut It Is probable that many are now enemies through uncontrollable clr- cii nstances. I bear these no malice, and take them by tbe band with sym­ pathy and good feeling." Looking at the tall man standing there, a strange dissonance, like bells that begin to tingle before they are chimed, went through the house. The silence con* tlnued until It looked sis If there was no brotherhood. Suddenly one man walked up and took the Presidents band. Tbe others caught the Infection and followed. It was tbe strangest reception of tbe civil war.--dneinnaU Enquirer. At the battle of Malvern Hill. June 30.1862. Chas. E. Wood, a soldier of Kocitland.
