Uoluia. A Touching Scene. 1 was conversing, not long since, with a returned volunteer. "I was in the hosDital as nurse, for a long time," said he, "and assisted in taking off limbs and dressing all sorts of wounds hut tho hardest thing I ever did was to take my thumbs off a man's leg. "AM" said I, "how was that." Then ' he told me: "It was a young mau who had a severe wound in the thigh. The ball passed completely through and amputation was necessary. The limb was cut off close up to the body, the arteries taken up. and he seemed to be doing well. Subsequently, one of the small arteries sloughed off. An incision was made and it was again taken up. "It is well it is not tho main artery," said the surgeon, as he performed the operation; he would have bled to death before it could have been taken up." But Char-leg got on finely and was a favorite with us all. "I was passing through the ward, one night, about midnight, when suddently, ns I was passing Charley's bed, he spoke to we; H -, my leg is bleeding again." I threw back the bed cloths, and the blood spirted in the air. The main artery had sloughed off." "Fortunately I Iraew just what todo,and jn an instant I had pressed my thumb on the place and stopped the bleeding. It was so close to the body that there was barely room for my thumb, but I succeeded iu keeping, it there, and, arousing ono of the convalescents, sent him for the surgeon who came in on a run. ''I am so thankful II , said ho" as he saw me, "that you were up, and know what to do. for he must have bled to death before I could I have got here." 1'But, on an examination'of the case, he .looked exceedingly serious, and so lit out for other surgeons. All came who were within reach, and a consultation was baa over the poor fellow. One conclusion was reached by all. There was no place to ' work save the spot where my thumb was placed; they could not work under my thumb, and if I moved it he would bleed to death before tho artery could be taken np. Thcro was no way to save his life. Poor Charley: He was very calm when they told him, and requested that hie brother who wae in the game hospital, might b called up. JIf came and sat down by thv bedside, aud for three hours I s'.ood and by the pressure ( f my thumb kept up the life of Charley, while the brothers had their last conversation on earth. It was a strange place fur me to bo in, to feel that I held tho life of a fellow mortal in my ! ! bands, as it wore, and stranger yet, to feel ; that an act of mine must cause that life to I depart.. Loving the poor fellow as I did, it was a hard thought, but there was no alternative, "The last Words were spoken. Charley had arranged all his business affairs, and sent tender messages to absent ones, who little dreauiod how near their loved cuo stood to the grave. Tho tears filled my eyes more than once as I listened to those parti li" words. All were sad, and he turned to me. "Now, II . I guoss you had better take off your thumb." 'Oh Charley! how can 1.'" said 1. "lint it must be, you know," he replied cheerfully. ''I thank you very much for your kindness, and now, good bye." l'IIo turned away his head, I raised my thumb, once moro the life current gushed forth, and in three minutes poor Charley was dead." Tallcjraud and Arnold How they Met in Havre. There was a day when Talleyrand ar rived in Havre on foot from Paris. It was the dnrkest hour of tho French Rev olution. Pursued by the blood houucls of his Reigu of Terror, Talleyrand secured a passage to the United States in a ship about to sail. He Was a beggar and a wanderer to a strange land, to earn his daily bread by the sweat of his brow. 'Is there an American staying at your house?" he asked the landlord of the hotel. "I am going to cross the water, and would like a letter to a person of influence in the new world." ''There is a gentleman up stairs either from America or Britian; but whether from America or England I cannot tell." No pointed the way and Talleyrand, who it his life was bishop,, prince and minister, ascended the stairs. A miser- .l.i l: ii . ....l 1...P .I...... - er's room knocked and entered. . . , (. . 1 .V . 1 . ! 1 j - 1 Ju the lar corner ji u.e uinu ngnien . room sat a man of 50 years of age, arms folded and his head bowed upon his, breast. From a window directly opposite, a flood of light poured upon his forehead. His eyes looked from beneath the down- cast brows, and upon Talleyrand's face, wmi a peculiar ana seareuing expression. : His form, vigorous, even with the snows of fifty winters, was clad in a dark but rich and distinguished costume. Talleyrand advanced, stated that he was a fugitive, and, with the "impression that the gentleman was an American, he soli cited his kind feeling and offices. Ho poured forth his history iu co- qucnt French and broken English: "I am wanderer and on exile. I am forced to fly to the new world without friend or home. You are au American. Give me, then, I beseech you a letter of yours, so that I may be able to earn my bread. I am willing to toil in any man ner; a life of labor would be a paradise to nl TT-, T 'll a career ot luxury in r ranee, iou win give me a letter to ono of your friends? A gentleman like you, doubtless, has many friends." The strange gentlcmau arose. With a look that Talleyrand never forgot, he retreated toward the door of the next cham btr, his eyes looking still from beneath his darkened brow. He spoke as he retreated backward; his voice was full of meaning: "I am the only man of the new world who can raise his hand to God aud say, I have not a friend not one in America!" Talleyrand never forgot the overwhelming sadduess of the look which accompanied these words. "Who are you?" he ricd, as the strange man retreated to the next room; "your name?" "My name!" he replied, with a smile that had more of mockery than joy iu the conclusive expression -'my namo is Ben edict Arnold." He was gone. Talloyrand sank in the chair, gasping the words, "Arnold tho traitor!" Thus he wandered over the earth, another Cain with the murderer's mark upon his brow, and his sad fate is likely to be shared by others of our own day, who are proving traitors to their land, aud thousand times more culpable and atro cious than unfortunate Arnold.

The cannonading was kept up furiously for somo time, whon by the aid ot glasses 1 discovered a company of our artillery advancing, taking positiou, and driving the rebels before them. I immediately saw that Gen. Sherman's division had come on to the left of Synder's Bluff, and that the rebels at tho place had been cut off from joining the forces in the city. I dispatched tlio Dokalb, Liout. ComJ mandcr Walker; tho ChockoUw, Lieut. Commander llainsay; tho llameo, Petrel and Forest Rose, all under command of Lieut. Commander Ureez, up tho Yazoo to open communication that way with Generals Grant and Sherman. This I succeeded in doing; and in three hours received lottors from Generals Grant, Sherman and Steele informing me of his vast success, and ask ing me to send up provisions, which was at once done. In the mean time, Lieut. Commander Walker, in the Dekalb, push cd on to Haines' Bluff, which the enemy had commenced evacuating the day before, and a party behind, in the hopes of destroying or taking away a large amount of ammunition on hand. When they saw the gunboats, they came out ami left ev-urythiiikr in good order, guns, fort, tents, equipage of all kinds, which fell into our 1 As soon as the capture of Haines' Bluff and fourteen guns was reported to Im, T H,nva.i ti, ,i,,a f... vicksburg to lire at the hill batteries which finj up for-(wo or llm;e hottrs.

Tho works at Haines' Bluff are very formidable; there are fifty-four of the hoaviestkind of mount ed 8 aud 10-inch and 7i-inch rifled can- uou, with ammunition enough to last a long siege. As tho gun carriages might again fall into the hands of the enemy, I had them burnt, blew up tho magazine, aud destroyed the works generally. I also burnt up the cucampu.euls, which were permanently aud remarkably well coustruet-ed, looking as if tho rebels hiteuded to stay for some time. The works and encampment! recoved many acres of grouud; and the fortifiea-tions and rifle pits of Haines's Bluff extend about a mile aud a quarter. Such a strong work of defenses I never saw. The rebels were a year iu constructing them, aud all were rendered useless in an hour. As soon as I got through with the de struction of the magazines and other works, I started Lieut. Commander Walker up the Yazoo River with sufficient force to destroy all the cueiny's property in that direction; with orders to return with all dispatch, and ouly proceed as far as Yaioo City, where the rebels have a navy yard and store house. In the meantime Gen. Grant has close ly invested Vieksburg and has possession of the best cannonadingpoints. In a very short time a general assault will take place, when I hope to announco that Vieksburg has falleu, after a scries of the most brilliant succcsscses that ever attended an army.There has never been a caso during the war when the rebels have been so successfully boaten at all points; and the patience and enduranco shown by our army and navy for so many months, is about being rewarded. It is a mere question ol a few hours, and then, with the exception of Port Hudson, which will follow Vieksburg, tho Mississippi will ha open its en trie length. (Signed) D. T. PORTER, A. R. A.

A few days since, Messrs Vallandigham and Pendleton were going in a carriage from Butavia, to fill an appointment a some place in Brown County, thoy drew up at a toll-gate. Mr. Pendleton, with that amiable con descension which marks his intercours-e with the poor and lowely voters, asked the venerable gate-keoper how ho stood on politics, and was answered: "I am a Democrat; have voted tho ticket ail my life aud expect to as long as I live.'' 'That's rights, my good man, I am glad to find you ail right on politias, now, as an Id Demeerat, what do you think of the Hon. Mr. Vallandigham for our next Gov ernor. "Vallandigham is ad st traitor north of Mason and Dixou's line, aud I wouldn't help elect him dog-pelter." "But stop, mau, this gentleman with mo is Mr. V."

Look Ahead. Look ahead. It is wise, it is prudcut, it is good. You, young woman, you who are so tx'.ravagnn'; so thoughtless; you who think life a summer, its winds tho breath of flowers, its hours, days, years, made only to dance, sing, gossip to you we say, look ahead. Remember that is a to morrow; that the future is an earnest affair; that pertains to you a duty which is not to be shifted or skulked or avoided with impu nity. You young man, look ahead. Life at present may all be fun and sunshine; but there is a next day, and a different Tay coming by and by. "Life is real, life is earnest." And so you had better regard it. For your heart, and your purse, your morals, your virtue, for these and other things, look ahead. Present is tak ing care of itself; it is the future that you are to prepare for, and wisely and like a man. Look ahead- It is tho best and wisest of heads.

BENEDICT ARNCLD. What the Rebel JJiieft are After. The purpose of tho chiefs of tho slaveholders' rebellion to obliterate every principle of democracy, and erect a govornuieut wholly absolutist iu its nature, iu which all power Bhall be lodged in the few, finds new confirmations with every passing day. Ihe most significant ot the reocut mdicu-tionj of this kind is the introduction iu the Confederate "Congress," aud the gencrul approval by thu rebel press, of a bill looking to the repeal of the naturalization laws aud tho exclusion fruiu tho privileges of citizenship of all persons who were uot in the ; 'Confederacy" at the time its preiendod government was organized. The Richmond News, commenting upou this measure, says: "The bill meets with very general ap' proval, aud will, we trust, socu becoiuo a law. Ethnologists havo decided that the admixture of an iuferior with a superior race of the human species degrades the latter te tho level of the former; and it is very certain, that unless wo restrain immigration by the most stringent laws, we shall, in a very few years after pcaeo is declared, bo ove-un by lankccs una other foreigners, and that the next generation of southerners will be the vilest mongrels, &e." There is no mistakiug the mcainur 01' this paragraph. It declares, almost in So many words, that tho desire of the rebel badcrs is to keep nil power In their own bands, and to erect aud perpetuate, through Aeir descendant, a government founded upon a denial of popular rights, and the restriction, substantially, to themselves and their children, of the franchises which constitute tho glory of American eitlzeu-ship, And yet there re men hero at the North who wish tho conspiracy against human rights to succeed, aud even sue fbr help in ltd bohalf at tho foot of tho rcpre-sontativo of British aristocracy I That suoh a combination for such a ork is ap-propriato is only true, but that diminshes not a particle of the iufaniy of tho act of which, according to the testimony of Lord Lvons, our "conservative politicians" hao bee guilty. ,V.
