Shortly "after the happy day was appqiBted which
w.is loj rcnucr iwo iovmg tiearts one tne j count
as wuaeu lujnieuiaiej' laiuci siege oi jc'jojs
tcpol : so he jrirded on his sabrei and at-tlae head
of his regiment marched to the battld field
During the Count's absence it happened that his
beautiful affianced had the smallpox. After
hovering between life and death she recovered,
but found her beauty boneless!? lost, ' The- dis
ease had assumed 'in her ease the most virulent
character, and left her not only disfigured, but
seamed and scarred to such an extent tliat she
became hideous to herself, and resolved id pass
the. remainder of her days in the strictest seclu
sion.
. : A. year passed away, when one day the Count,
mimtUfatcly upon his return to
panied by. his L valet, presented
residence of his betrothed and
r ranee, aeconi
himself t the
solicitedlan in-f
terview. j This was refused. He. howevej-, with
the pcrsistencejof a lover, pressed . His suit,. and
finally the' lady made her appearance,- fclcsely
muffled in a'veil. At the soand of ; her voice
the Count rushed forward to embracje hej'i but
stepping aside!" she tr.cmbliugK- told hin the
story of her sorrow; and burst I into tears. A
heavenly; smile jboke over the Count's hardsomc
feature;, as raising his hatid above hejexch imed
'It is God s work ! I am blind !" - " ;
It was, even jsq. When gallantly leading his
regiment; to attack, a cannon ball passed so
closely to his eyes, that while; jt left their ex
pression unchanged, and his Icbuntenantfe un
marked, it robbed him -forever of sight, i It is
almost; uncece-jsary to add, that, their marriage
was shortly, after solemnized. " ! .

Crniors Facts A bolt Ice. Besides the
-i-
fact that ice is liiht
ter than
water, there is an-
other curious thing about it which most rtersous
do not know, perhaps -namelv, iEs purity. A
lunip of ice melted will' become pure distilled
water. Jien pie early uavigfjttors ol tlie tiretic
seas got out of jWater, they melted fragments ol'
tliose vast mountains of ice called ice herds, and
were astonished to find that they ' yieldec only
fresh water. They -thought they wcrq only
ficzcu sea water, not knowiug' that ; they were
farmed on the land and in some' way -la i n-ehed
into the sea. But if they had jjeen right, the
result would have been the same!. .
, 'i'he fact is, the water in fieey.incr turris -out.
of it all that is not water; salLj air, coloring mat
ter aud all imparities, , wFipjan.sea water nakes
l'resh water ice. (If you. freezGiaj basin of indigo
water it will mate ice as clear! and as "wliite as
that made of pure rain water, j jWhen th cold
is very sudden, ithese foreign inatters hale not
time to escape qithcr hy rising or sinking, and
ere thus entangled with the ice, tut do uou make
any part Jof it. . " ;j.;,'.--.'

Dr. Joseph UTovcx Dear Sir: I have had
i ' y .14 . i . - i -i - . .
tocnts in -respect to the Confederate military
forces daring the late war, as well as the casual
ties incident , thefetof bud I have come- to the
conclusion fiom .iihyjgneral recollection which
those jstateiiicutsl lUve served to enlighten, that
tliey must be regarded as nearly critically cor
rect. Most Of itli returns fiom which 3 0U mast
probably have deiivtsd your iuformation, must
huvejpassed through ilje files of n;y "-office in the
Clmfederacy.'and f j;eVrcn ee-' epu Id be made to
altf he-recordslaf thatj fiicc, tliey would," I have
uqr doubt, enable you to give nearly a complete
history 'of-.the strength and operations of our
armies iu detail. .. The files of that office which
could' best afford this information, were carefully
bded up,; and paredj on our retreat from liich
md to Charlotteyi Krth Caroliuaj where they
wtu-e . unfortunately ! finafiy captured,, and, as I
learn, are now in Washington, - where-they are
properly . arranged iu a separate building, with
other records appertaining to the Confederacy'.
I presume that by proper management, reference
mSght bc; had. to them. Indeed, I hud at-

finally abandoned the idea, . -
It would afT-id tne much pleasure to furnish
you with the inform! tion in the tabular form
you have suggested, but it would be-quite lm
;pfssible"'tWr- me to dojthis without reference to
those reco.ds. I cau only stato from'' general
W c dfection that during the two last years of the
war the monthly retnlrns 6f our armies received
at my oflice exhibited the present active forc3
in the field nearly one-half lees, than the returns
themselves actually ' called for, on account of
absentees by hickness, extra duty, furloughs, de
sertions, and other casualties incident to a cam.
paign life.. These returns were kept with great
secrecy, in onbr tt1 prexent the cuemy from be
coming acquainted witbour weakness: "Another
disadvantage was awojfelt in the limited number
of our suitable, weapons of war, and I t'clicre il
will bo found, on examination, that the most ap
proved and I run! arms in the hands of our troop J
were captured from thle enemy hi battle. The?.?, t
and niany other inciilcnts of a like nature, if
brought to light, would exhibit the greatest dis
parity between the two 'opposing forces, if not
alike in thc number of troups, as 'ou have ex
hibited in yViur table., at least of EuHieient im.

so kind as to send me that time must bo given,
in collecting the rieeessary facta which are to bo
the basis of lliis impoQtant work, before it shall
be prepared and given ' to the public. To thht
cad, it will be my endeavor to contribute, from
time to time, such '. fait an ! may be enabled to
