Address, ^ COTTAGE HEARTH CO., Boston, Mass.' Was Not Expected To. At a certain battle of the late war a Federal chaplain happened to get into the Vicinity of a battery of artillery which was hotly engaged. The Con­ federate shells were plowing .furrows around the guns, and the cannoneers •ere grimly and actively at work to answer shot for shot. The chaplain addressed himself to a sergeant, who was very efficient, but at the satn ? time rather profan »,lu the following words: "My friend, if you go on this way can you expect the support of Pivine Provi lence ?" "Ain't expeetin' it,'" "aid the sergeant; ' the Ninth New Jersey has been ordered to support this battery."--Southern Bivouac. Returning s Southern Flag. --.--^ The members of the 27th Mass., who have in their t>ossession two flags which they captured d.iting :he late war in the camp of a North Carolina regiment, have for some time been de sirous of returning" their banners to their former owners. One of the flags bears the inscriptions "Haw River Boys' and , -On to Victory." It was captured in the deserted camp of the 7th N. C. 011 the day of t'lie battle of Vewbern, The flag of the Golilsboro Rifles, a company belonging to the •sane regiment, was also secured by members of the 27tli. This fla^ bears the m(9ttoJ>> Victory or Death," and was presented to thq, Rifles in April, 1861, by the ladies of Goldsboro.

Y., Milforil.»Conn.,says the original "lipn Brigade" vas composed of the 14th, 22d, 24th and 30th N. Y., and 2d Berdan's Sharpshopteis. The 22d, 24th and 30tl? N. Y. were two years' troops, and at the expriation of their term of service the 14th Brooklyn®was put Into tlte Second Brigade. Then it was that the brigade, composed of the 2d. 6th and 7th Wis., 19th Ind., and 24th Mich., appropriated to itself the name ot "Iron Brgade." which name right­ fully belongs to the old "Fir-it Brigade, First Division, First Corps.' H. E. Dickinson, Sergeant, Co. K, 24th N. Y.. Park Rapids, M?nn., gives the same regimentsras above, and says: "While we were commanded by Gen. Augur tie gave us the name of the 'Iron Brigade.'" He Stands up For Black. TO THE E-DITOR: I saw in your paper that somebody who was ashamed to sign his name, thought Gen. J. Black was drawing too much pension. Now, I was a soldier of his old regiment and was wounded at the same battle he was. I know how badly he wa* injured and how bravely he endured the pain and suffering while on the battlefield at Fayetteville, Ark. He would not leave his comrades until he sa.v that they were safe. I think it is a shame that so brave and true a soldier as J. C. Black should be ridiculed,and especial­ ly 4>y a man who has not the courage to sign his name so that we may know who he Is. 1*11 venture it was some­ body who ran away from the country to get away from the draft. Gen. Black was always ready to lead his regiment. He never eaid "Til close up the rear," but it was always "Come boys, follow me!" I think if the man who wrote the article I have referred to had eyer suflered halt as much in his life as Gen. Black did in a >veek when he lay at Fayettevifle with his arm shattered, he would never have said what he did.

Jenkins, Lieutenant Co. M, 1st Ala. Cav.. writes an interesting account of the cavalry fight March 10. I860, In whic'i Gen Kil-patrick was captured. JJeut. Jenkins lias a bullet in his body received in the fight, so there can be no que ; tion as to his being there. He says: "Young's (C Mifeder- ate) Division, led By Hampton, came squarely down on cur front, and took possession of our section'of aitillery before it had flred a shot, stationed-a guard around headquarters, with Kil- patrick, Spencer and stafl in the house. Kilpatrick remained under guard only U>!.ig; enough to sjlp 011 his pauts and slippers, when he pnsh^cl aside the >guard from the side door and ran, not to the swamp, but to the camp of the 1st Ala. Cav., where he was furnished with a horse and revolver, and In a few moments brought order out of chaos; and with Kilpatrick In the lead we charged, dismounted as we were, re­ took our artillery and headquarters, released Spencer- and stafl, and the artillerymen, having crawled under the house, now; came out, our guns were turned loose, our lines for the first time formed, and although repeatedly charged by Butler and Hampton, we repulsed every charge, and before the infantry under Baird- arrived we had driven the rebels from the field. ' During the fight for the recovery of headquarters I exch uiged three shots, at veiy short range, with a fine looking rebel oflicer. He was very tall, had a smooth upper lip and long chin whiskers. One of his shots s ruck me In the left arm. I would like to know If either of my shots »tru.:k him, for when I flred the third shot he fell on his horse's neck, either from the shot or to avoid another." The Woes of a Disappointed Office-Seeker, From the Washington Sunday Herald.' There are some really pathetic cases among the office-seekrrs here. A poor fellow was telling me his story the other day. He was from the Pacific coas^. He was sent as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention; lie' voted tor Cevelmd first, list and all the time; he haspseveral letters in his possession from Cleveland and several from Colonel Lamont, acknowledging his service8 during the campaign. He came here with strong inducements in June last and has remained ever since. He is so far from home that he can not nflord to go btick and forth, and has be­ lieved t(fat he would be recognized. He talked as follows: "Here I am, this cold, rainy night, with a summer suit of clothes on, without an overcoat, with my shoes worn out. I have been here since June. I received a letter from my wife to day,saying that the rent is due and long past due on our house and that she ueeds money. 1 have none to send her., I have none for myself. 1 have not so in-.ich as a S cent piece.

"I would respectfully submit--" he began, when the merchaut interrupted him.- "Young man," he *nld, looking up impatiently, and then he stopped. He had caught the smile. Instantly hlk manners changed. "Can you smile like that ove^ the counter from 7 a. m. to 10 p. m. at nine dollars a week?" he inquired anxious ly.

The cause of my trouble is a dic-> aster that lias cast a gloom not onljr over me, but also over the entire kind- hearted landlady. It is this: Day be* fore yesterday the rooster eloped with the w'a^her-woman, and left In the hennery a vacant place that can never be as well filled by another--(vacant place). When, at early dawn,.I«d!s-r covered the desolation J walked dis­ consolately on the fence, wringing my hands, and, weeping like a Widowiess father. I felt so lonely that when the calf rubbed its. nose sympathetically against my chest I clasped the ere*- ture's neck and held it as I had never before thought of doing--as I thought I never should. But the blamed animal grabbed me by the ear, and eatne near pulling it out by the root*. I punched It in the eye, and theu it bunted tee so uukindly I concluded tor show iny dis­ pleasure by climbing over the fenee. But the animal gave me more of m' dboost than 1 needed, and I went over like a rocket, falling into a barrel of old soap grease. I would much prefer being ducked In a clear running stre«at of water such a6 is de crlbed below: ISI ti Too PROFKSSIONAL.--In a western city lives an undertaker, by the name of Brown, a <roat. wag, and always rea ly to play a joke; also a doctor who is a joker, and is always ready to tell 011 himself, and a "monument-maker" who is of the same kidney. One day the doctor was driving f-ill speed down a business street when Brown spied him. Brown was in his wagon with the sign of his profession 0:1 the side. Whipping up his horse he cime as near to the doctor as possible, and glancing around, he spied the monument maker. Calling to the mounment-maker ro hurry up. Brown called out: "Go on, doctor, go on; we're coming," The doctor looked around and dhmay was pictured on his countenance. He whip­ ped up hls-jrap&e. but al> to no purposei the under;aker and monument*maker following closely. At last the ridicu­ lous part of the thing 6truck him, and leaning back in his buggy he gave vent to laughter, iu sp.te of the thought.

Desiring to reenter th« house 1 climbed back over the feh%,,aiid walk­ ed softly toward the door, trusting the calf was too much occupied paring its corns with its teeth to notice me. I did not calculate rightly, for just as I reached the door the brute gave « peculiar snort and charged at me like an animated saw-h- rse. 1 had barely closed the door when t{ie animal's head came against it with a terrific force, thereby jarring the frame work much that, a naU?of mohis.sos >lsnn«!t^' above the doorfcame tumbling and made for me .the »w for anyth ing ," as the ii.-tellectaa lady wouk|reniark, with a gurgle? While endfeavoring to rub the sticky fluid out of umorbs of visiou I had the misfortune to Wa low a towel, thus ruining my apatite for an excellent carrot stew that was simmering on the stove, in preparation for supper. When evening arrived the landlady expressed much surprise at my lack of appetite, and suggested that I needed a change of scenery, also advising me to olltnb ft tree to obtain a more extended vleir of the landscape. Bur, assuring her that my depression was only due to excitement over the Chinese q test ion, I retired to my room for the night, an­ ticipating "an Eden of blaid repose." After sleeping abjut an hour I was awakened by hearing near my bed two H ruffianly voices conversing in a tongue J to which I was a stranger, but, listen- | ing a moment, 1 seized a pillow, aud J after considerable of a tussel succeeded :V in ejecting the Intruders--two Missouri mosquitoes of the usual size. Hardly J awakened by so common an Incident I ^ again sank into a refreshing slumber,, v:' hut only to be again disturbed by. & different cause. While sleeping ' J dreamed I was in a' barbershop, and ^ while sittiug in the chair the proprie- tor--a red eyed little man,^e-werged from an ante room, and seizingSa file, "i commenced applying it vigorously to ^ my head. In vain I expostulated and fj threatened--he onjy worked with re- doubled energy. But, ffnally commeo- S -cing to file down the point of ray nose, 1 awoke with a muttered imprecation, -I only to become 6peecliles$ with fright, % Some animal was licking my head and J face witn a tongue apparently coated | with bristles, and now arid then utter- -v ing a grunt that had a^imiliar soond. After recovering from Abe first shock 1 incident to my awakening, 1 sprang to fj the opposite side of the bed and «oo> | ceeded In lighting a lamp. By Its ii genial rays I stw the caus? of my dream and observed that it was that cou« J founded calf again. It had swallowed all the bed-clothes and one of the pll- ';a lows, besides breaking a pitcher left by accident on the floor. Not a base -| ball pitcher, but an article far moro | useful, of the ujual china ware variety. | The landlady had probably forgotteft | tQ fasten the door, thus giving the calf S an opportunity to effect an entrance, 1 and meander into my ro^ra. With the f greatest exertion I succeeded in throw || ing the beast out of the window, and tailing with it.to the ground, alighting % in safety as far as 1)ru? were ccs- ^ cerned. But we no' sooner recovered If our eqtillebiium than the pugnacious brute turned on mo aud forced me $| c!imty a tree, where 1 remalaed until morning, aud a passing stranger re­ leased me.
