The President's wit continues to flash and thrill in every pension veto The President's wit is as bright a pewter dolhr, aBsh-rp as a lusty hoe and as refined as a fishmonger's.

He only asks that his just due6 be also settled and the account balanced. The Senate Committee on Pensions administered a schilling rebuke to the President in its report to the Senate, recommending the passage of a certain pension bill over the President's veto. In a dignified manner the committee railed attention 10 the wholesale veto nig of proper measures; showed that three times as many Senate bills are vetoed as Honse bills, and calls atten­ tion to the special Antagonism to the Senate on the part of t'ie President which this displays; and condemn* CleveUnd for r lying for hit* tacts up on reports from department clerks, he being totally ignorant himself 01 the manner In which pension legislation conductedjn both Houses, and mak­ ing no ettur . to ascertain the nature 01 the additional evl lence, often of the most important nature, in tlie hands ol the c< mmlttee reporting the bills I'lte seeming Jbruttli y ol some of his utterances in pension vel es Is touched with a firm hand, and the r« port is one that every inieliitf nt cit"Z-N jhould read with c tr*--TnleAo Blade. him. The troops had now all left tbe Held, and none but the dead and dying remained. At this time a number of young ladies from the town of Cynthl- ana came to visit the battlefield. They had gathered up the ramrodA scattered among the dead, and one of them find­ ing Mr. Stone still alive and the hot sun beating down upon him, took a bundle of those rammds and struck, them into the earth, making a ball moon of paling fence above his bead Ove'Fthis she spread her shawl and did what she could to ease him. This young woman Is now Mrs, Stone, one of the accomplished women of our oon gressional society. Stone fell In love with her on the battlefield, and after his recovery he succeeded In winning her. The story. If told In the shape of a novel, would be considered Improb­ able. But truth la stranger than Scion, and there is more romance all arou id us than there Is on the book- shelves- Where Grunt I Med. [Troy Timu,] I passed several hours at Mount- Mc- tiiegor to-i!a\.

Stone, of Kentucky, who takes Oscar Turner's place in the house. The story of Stone's terrible wound on the battlefield was told not long ago, but the best part of the story wa« left out. The battle where he lost his leg was near Cynthiana. Kv.. He was In the 'confederate service, and after the battle was lvlng on the field gasp­ ing for wafer, with his leg shot awav almost »o the hip. A federal soldier saw him and isked him if he was nor thirsty. He re pi veil that he was, and the Yankee went off ind brought back a canteenful of water, fie raised the wounded man. anil gave him a drink, and then in kindness Ileft his own can­ teen by the side of what h« thought, to be the dying rebel. Said he: "1 will le\ve this, as you m*v want to" drink again after while." Stone thanked him. As he turned to go awav another union soldier came up and said; "Hello! mv men Is that rebel dead? The flrst Yankee replied he was noi, but he though he was dying. The newcomer then said: Stand aside and I'll finish him.*' and with that h« rais ed hie musket. The kind-hearted Yankee stepped In front of him aid told him If he shot the rebel be would shoot him. This ended the matter and the good and bad union soldier went away together. This much has already h«>en told.

So much of professional military skill Is requisite to answer It, that 1 have turned the task over to General Halleck. He promised to per* form It with ids utmost caro. I have but one idea which I think worth sug gestlng to you and that Is, In ease you find Le^oining to the north of the R •ppanninock, I would by no means cross to the south of It, If be should have a rear force at Frederlck«burg tempting you to fall upon It, It would fight in iutrenchmeiits, and have you at disadvantage, and so man tor man, worst YOU at that point, while his main force would, in some way, he get­ ting an advantage of you northward. In one word, I would not take any risk of being entangled upon the river, like an ox jumped half over the fenoe ai d lit tile 10 be torn by dogs front aid rear, without a fair chance to gore one w*y or kick the other.
