No where in tiie animal kingdom is there ho favorable an opportunity for peep ing into nature's workshop as in the inetaraopliosea of the frog. This anu mal is a worm when it comes from the egg. and remains such the first four days of its life, having neither eyes, nor ears, nor nostrils nor respiratory organs It crawls. It breathes through its skin. After awhile a nock is grooved into the flesh. Its soft lips are haidened into a horny beak.

The Koute at Cedar C eek 1 Iteniineseence of the War. . -The following was w.itten for the Wilmingt n Review, ami is interesting enough for re-p:educ ion in part. Officers weye then despatched to gather up all the stragglers that could t" gotten, together, with orders to tia3terr trAou to the frdnt,' and the gal lajut Hamseui , detenu i::e I. not to 1 ave the field ingloi iously, now drew his sabre-and -waving it high above his head, -gallopped up and. down his line; and thus by nis own personal popu larity vtth his men, who we; e de voted to him, together with the per apnal. bravery he displayed kept the line intact. But this stte of things could not last long, un'ess reinforce ments speedily arrived and besides the ammunition was giving out ; the boxes of the dead and wounded had been rifled of their contents, and that was well nig, exhausted. ? Gen. Cox calling to bis side one of his couriers, dispatched him to Gen. Ramseur to ask him that we be supplied with am munition. In a few minutes Bagley, the courier, returned on foot. Walk ing up to General Cox, with a face pale with emotion, the faithful fellow said, "Genera', Geneial Ramseur says the ammunition will be here directly. General, General Ramseur says send him a surgeon and a litter ; he is wounded." 4 Shut your mouth in stantly," shouted Gen. Cox to his courier, as he jumped up from a sit ting posiure on the ground, where he had been resting for a few moments, "it is not so ; General Ramseur is not wounded." "General," rep'ied the astonished courier, "I have on'y re peated what Gene al Ramseur told me to fay ; I not only saw him wounded, but he fell into my arms, and I laid him gently down upon the ground and then hurried away with his commands to vu." Cox knew too well that his brave soldier spoke the truth, and it was only a little piece of strategy that he attempted to exercise, for he feared the effect such sad intelligence con cerning their beloved commander would have up m the soldiers of his division. But all attempts at conceal ment were useless ; the news spread like wildfire, and the men deliberate ly commenced a retreat which soon turned ioto a rout. In the meantime a few faithful followers had gathered their brave commander upon a blan ket, and throwing bim more dead than alive upon a horse s eadied him upon either side while some one led the charger oft" the field as rapidly as pos sible. Col H A Brown of the First N. C. commanding the sha'p shooters of the division, galloped off the fi Id for an ambulance, which fortunately was secured in a short time. The con veyance was then backed up in,order to keep the horses attached from be ing shot until those who were hurry ing with the wounded G ne al could reach it, when he was tumbled rather than lifted into the ambu'ance in the most expediti U8 manner and driven at a furious rate in the direction of the turnpike for Strasburg. The rout had now become general, and the men who a few hours before were charging victoriously over the field after a re treating foe, were themselves now re treating precipitately, dismayed and panic stricken over the same ground The glorious orb of "day,. which had ris h that morning upon a spendid field of victory for the men in gray who were battling upon their own na tive soil lor their rights as freemen, was now sinking to test behind clouds of smoke, leaving no partin grays to guild the disastrous scene. Gen. Cox had the misfortune to have his horse shot in the morning about two hours at t er the battle had commenced ; we ottered him our charger but he cour teously declined, remarking that he hated to have so fine a horse shot, as he certainlv would ba or might be, if he mounted him This being the case and not caring to be mounted while our General was on foot, we sent our steed to the rear. So when the retreat, or more prop erly speaking, the stampede commen ced both the General and his staff were on foot. Horses had been sent for however, long before the begining of the disasters, but had failed to reach us. The enemy's cavalry began to press us now on Hank and in rear, and without any attempt at order every man began to the move to the rear after his own fashion; fortunate ly we came up with a man strad dling our horse, and we were not long in swapping places with him and then turned our attention to making some efforts to stay the tide of retreat. The only troops upon our side that we discovered in line as we were re croosiug Cedar Creek was General Robert Johnston's N. C. brigade, which was gallantly contesting every inch of advance made by the enemy and sullenly retreating before them; preserving at the same time a beauti ful line of battle and delivering volley after volley of minnie balls into the ranks of blue coats as they pressed hard upon them. W e tried to rally other troops and pointed to Johnston's gallant com mand as worthy of emulation. We b-ged, we entreated, we prayed the men to halt and form a line to resist the aitack, but all to no purpose when losing all patience, and as a last resort, ..afl" and swore, and must we write the truth, we swore hard too. It was enough to make a chaplin swear and we could'nt help it. But just right in the midst of this little ex ercise, a shell struck under our hor se's belly, richocheted and going be yond exploded, our face and eyes were filled with sand and our horse becom ing terribly frightened, plunged and reared to such an extent tnat we couldn't tell at first whether our horse or ourself was shot, but as soon as our vision became clear, we discover -ed with an inward ejaculation of thanks aud with a mental resolution not io swear any more that evening, that neither the steed nor his rider was hurt. We took a hasty glance around, and discovered Johnston's line had bruken and the enemy s cavalry were dashing in among our men. It was folly to remain longer, and spuring our horse towards the turnpike with the intention of making forStrasburg, we were met by stra gling Confederates double quicking away from the turnpike road who shouted to us, 4 the pike is full of Yankee cavalry; if you go that way you will be certain to be captured." Our line of re reat was now cut off; the enemy were between us and Stiasburg; which way to go, we did not know. The shot and shell were falling thick in the woods, on wnher side'ofthe rurnp:ke, ad the raeKd Contvder-tes wore fleeing to the maintains to esc.-pe capture; bhou d we follow them or run the gauntlet and endeavor to reach our foundations -at Fisher's Hill? We derermined upon the latter course. We rode on rapidly througii the woods, made quite a circuitous route , forded one or two of the branches of the Shenandoah, flanked Btrasburg completely and came on to the turn pike about one hour alter da:k at the very-point where our column had left it the night before; namely at the base of Fishei's Hill. We breathed freer, we were safe from capture. W e now looked about to see it there was any of cox's biigade left, we rode upon the sumit of the hill and to our delight found Geneial Cox himself, who had made a narrow escape from capture having been lamed by a wound from a spei.t ballon the tnigh which con siderably retarded his movements until he secured a horse at the hands of some good Samaritan, and in this way managed to escape capture and reach tha works at Fisher's Hill in safety. That night both armies bivouacked upon the same ground that they had encamped upon twenty-four hours be fore. Our loss was great both in men and munitions of w ar. But as the casualities of this battle have passed itoTiisTory, we deem it unnecesary o repeat them here. . . t Rauaseur's division, sustained the greatest loss in the death of their be loved commander. In conversation afterwards with the ' courier Bagley who first reported to General Cox the mislortune that had be f lien the gal laut Ramseur, we learned the follow ing particulars connected with it: Just as tbe courier reached General Ram seur and was in the act of delivering General Cox's message, Rauiseur's horse was killed ; extricating himself from his fallen steed as soon as posfc ble h ) turned to his old courier and said -'Bagley, lend me your horse ;" the request was no soon ir made than granted. Bagley leaped instantly to the g ound and General Ramseur ws in the act oi mounting, when, just as he had thrown his right leg over the saddle a ball pierced his side and pass ed through his body, and as he fell back into the arms of his courier, he remarked, "Bagley, tell my wife I died in the faith of Jesus Christ." During the rout that followed Gen eral Ramseui's fall, the enem; s cav alry made a detour around the ilank and struck our oidinance wauii and ambulance train as it was going through the town of St rasburg. Dark ness had now closed in, so that it, was difficult to tell trie d from oe, and many escapes were made in this wav, under cover of the darkness, but un fortunately, one Yankee cavalryman, more zealous than the rest of his com . rades, rode up to the driver of the am bulance in which General Ramseur was lying, and ordered him to hall ! The command was immediately obey ed, when Ramseur in a feeble voice ordered the driver to push on. This order was also obeyed, but the same mounted barn burner of Sheridan's rode up rapidly again to the ambu lance and with pistol cocked pointing at the head ot the driver, ordered another halt. In tbe darkness of the night, thinking that it was one of out Captain quarter mas ers who had charge of the train, the driver in justi fication of himself replied that the General had told him to drive on. "General who?" inquired the Yankee bani-durner. ''General Ramseur," yppiiaa t.ha ambulance man. "Ah ha'!" ciied the overjoyed" Yarkee as he gloated over the pi ize he had taken, "that's the man I want." And this is the way our fal len herd fell into the enemy's hands. He was taken to Sheridan's headquarters that night where (the now lamented) Custer, and old class mate and coinerade, administered to his dying wants. General Ramseur was we think, only about twenty eight years of age at the time of his death; had been married we believe, only about twelve months, and had but just the day before rece ved the joyful intelligence that a son and heir had been born unto him, whom alas ! he never laid eyes upon. Two days after the battle, a Northern paper was re ceived which contained an account of Gen'l Ramseur's death. His remains, we think, were forwarded throuyh the lines by flag of truce at City Point. And thus peii hed one of the bravest of the b-ave. No nightlier soldier ever drew blade in the South. In a letter written to Gen. Cox codc ruing the loss which the army had sustained in in the death of this noble Southerner. General Early remarked that he had frequent occasion while attempting to stay the flight of his men, to point to to the gallant stand made by Ramseur with his division, where for nearly. an hour and a half he held the enemy the enemy in check, with nis own single command of North Carolina troops. . The brilliin" movement which cul minated in the bittle of Cedar Creek was due to the genius of General Early. His was the master mind that conceived the idea and to him be longs the credit of the splendidly planned battle which was that day fought. In brilliancy of conception, and boldness of execution, it was nearer akin to Stonewall. Before closing this sketch already too long, we must refer to the dis parity in numbers that existed be tween the two contending armies Early's who'e force of men of all arms fifteen thousand, while Sheridan's cavalry force alone, is said j to have numbered tbat many, pe that as it mav, one thing is certaim Sheridan's morning report showed his entire effective force to exceed fifty thousand men. Is it any wonder then, that Early's little struggling army of 11 f tee i thousand men were unable to contend succesfully against a force over tbree times their number? Rat'ier is it i.ot the wonder that they h Id the r own as well as they did?
