Iiow much we lose by not making the ac- quaintance of our cousins the brutes’ I say we, coarteously, for 1 am not included in the class of persons who are contumacious to dogs, horses, and other quadrupedal inhabitants of our planet. The fact is, [ am more interested in a beaver then s beau; and a chained: bear, who travels all bis waking hours in a circle, and always turns a sumersault at a pai much more interesting to me than a fasbionabie ysung fellow doing very much the eome thing. I was always v. odd, and I cannot tell whether [ first liked William Cam- ming for his horse Selim, or for himself. Se- lim was @ wonderfal fellow, and had cost a fabulous price, though had 2 bad name. No ove had ever ridden kim but William : ng, and yet the frst five minutes of our acquaintance mado ws friends. Selim arched his proud neck to kiss me; and I patted his glossy coat, and smoothed his mane, and put my side-saddie on him with my own hands. “You must not ride him,” said William. “What would be my portion, if any accident should befall you in your mother’s absence? If she were here to give ter consent—”’ “Nonsense '" I cried ; “my mother sed te my ways, and she is not a coward. lim and I are friends, you can see.”’ “Bat be will try to be master, and your hands are not iron, my little friend.” Never you fear,” said I, “I will tarn him three ways at once. if he insists on running away.

When my eyes were red, and my curls in w tangle, I looked in the glass. I was ata ries age; my collar-hone was preminent, and ad «salt cellars,” with dreadfal shadows, and my arms were skin and bones.

William Cumming used to eall a little witch,” beeause I could. tell ciaa what he was quite sure [ knew nothing about, gad could not fad out by aay natural mesns—but he meant usual, 1 think, when he seid nataral. My ways of acquiring informa- oR were very simple, and natural to me: still, as I had established a character for ex- traordinary ‘“knowinguess,”’ 1 got credit when I did not deserve Por instance, when I said to my little bro- ihe:: “How came you t» go jute the china jozet, take mawuia’s oranges?’ he an- ered, redolont of the perfumed fruit, “0, sister, tow could you see me tarough the door, when it was locked ?”’ and he went away con- vineed that I was something very like a witch. Older perons, in ® similxe manner, cheated themsetves into ths belief that my gifts were tauch more wonderful tham theirs were. q Are you quite sure that you are not alittle witch?’ said William Cumming. ‘Selim kissed you and laid his nose on your shoulder, the frst five minutes of your acquaintance.” I anewered him with some impatieuce: “I wish people had as much sense as horses. They know whe mean well by them, while people are always suspecting one. They eus- pect poor me of witchery or the blaok art. iven you, Uncle William, are afraid I will cheat you.’’ i was grieved, perhaps a little angry, that I bad uct been trusted to ride Selim; and now William had retucned, I wished to punish him. Bat he took no notice of my ill-humor, and said very pleasantly : “Tell me, by your black art, where I have been the last halt hour.’’ He was standing by the door, and I was at the opposite side of the room, bet I was in the draught of air, and I anewered : “You have been whisking the flies off Selim with a bunch of a and you have been over to the bank where the wild thyme grows, and you have been smong the wild roses on (i Hiil. I know ali this, though I heve been bere the whole time.”” He walked over to where I was standing, end said, ww do you know all this?” As he came beside me, I said, “And you zaw Mary Stacy, and shook hands with ker; and you have something in your pocket from Luke Stacy.” Sa “llow do you know aii this?’’ said he, won- de>-struck, us he bad been balf-a-dozen times before. ‘No spy-giass could tell you this, for Mary was at howe in her father’s house beyond the bill; and the thyme bank is beyond that, and hidden from everybody; an@ the ‘roses and penay-royal are beyond the hill; and the whele is three miles from here. You could not have followed me, unless you had been on the back of another Selim; and, besides, you say that you have been here all the time. How do you knew that I have some in m; pocket from Luke Stacy; and what is it?” “Lvis a letter,’ ssid I, “that he has brought you from some one.’’ “Even so. What you say isall true; but how do you know it’” 2 “Simply, and only,’’ I replied, ‘‘because I havea nose. When you came in, I smelt Se- lim and the penny-royal. The mingled odors told me that yoa had been brushing the flies off the horse with some sprigs of the herb. The next odor I smelt was the thyme, and then the wild roses. When you came to this side of the room, I smelt the verbena—the only Mary Stacy uses. When you csmea little nearer, [ smelt Turkish tobacco and the sizing of paper; and then I was sure you had some aper from Luke Stacy, and the most proba- tit idea waz, thatit was aletter.

Hedrew out the gate-pin with his teeth. and when the gate was swung open, he put the pin again in the hole, and went his ‘way aga’ tofeast upon the sweet grass. “Leave him to me,” said I; “I will take care of him.”’ When William was gone, and Selim was satisfied with the grass, I called him by a low whistle that his master used. He trotted uy to me, and Isid his nose upon my shoulder. led him to the door, and saddled him with my own side-saddle, and then,with very little pre- paration, I started for a contraband ride.

The Richmond correspondent of the Charles- tom Mercury, writing on the 25th ult., thus esti- mates the forces of our two grand armies: Jounston is to be re-inforced by 35,000 men, making his force about 95,000, while McClellan’s is estimated at 150.000.

No definite lis s of the aggregate num- ber of casualties in the late battle have yet been obtained. ‘¢Mrs. Rosa Greenhow arrived this morning, under a flag of truce from City Point. She reports McClellan as very sick. It is reported and be- lieved that General Casey, a Federal commander, was killed in the fight on Saturday, below Rich- mond.’ Toe Richmond Examiner of the 28th says :— ‘* Maj. Gen.

(Special Correspondence The Memphis Appeal } Ricumonn, May 29-—A bright sky over the beleaguered city, a pleasand breeze playing with the Iindens, the createst activity in the streets, ge marching to and fro, the roll of drums and the rattling of cannon wheels—such are the sights snd soundsof Richmond to-day. Never have I seen the gardens and equates looking love- lier than atthis moment. If Richmond is to fall she will fall like the festal bullock, wreathed and garianded for the sacrifice Is the battle to go against us? Nobody he-e thinksso. The spirit of the soldiers is that buoy- antconfidence. The of the army are eat mated by the liveliest assurance of victory. With thé knowledge that the great struggle a0 impend- lag will pass tate history, as one of the decisive battlesof the world—wits the confliets of Has- tingsand Tours,and Waterloo—tuey look forward to the scene as one on which they are to play a part of the h'ghest {aterest and dignity in the eyes of the world. This morning Gen. Lee left his bureay for the fleld,and with the maznanimity characteristic of tue men, reported to Gen Joha- stom forduty. He assumed the chief command availed himself of Gen. Jobnston’s preparations id dispositions for the figit, and thee secured imseif all the eclat of the victory, if victory itis to Be. < But Gen Lee thought this was no time for in- sisting upon precedence of rank, and he was un- Wliling to take from Johnston tne credit which will be justly his due, if he drives back the in- from the watts of the capito!. This is true fsoul,and furnishes an excelient ex- for smaller military men who bicker for Position in the face of the enemy A distinguished statesman iold me that he shook hands with the commanding general as he leapt into the saddie to ride out to headquarters, snd “that hia face shone like the face of an br a rc With the light of antictpated triumph.

Ft fs said that Burnside is advancing on Weldon to cut off our communicatioa with Charleston, while another report circulates to the effect that he has actually crossed the James river Rear Suffolk, and joined his forces with those of McUlellan. It seems almost impossible to learn for certain whether or not the Yankees are in pos- seasion of the two railroads at ths Junction or of the Fredericksburg road Ashland Ceat night, at 12 o’clock, the latest train brought away all tne sick soldieas and supplies then re pee in the Ashland Hospital, and the report that a Union column was within four miles of the place. An equal! impossibility seems to exist of arriving at the exact truth of the result of the skirmish of Tuesday afternoon at Peak’s Turn- Out, near Hanover Court House. Accountsgiven by mnen who were actualiy engaged in the fight are as contracted as possible. The Enguirer treats the affair as of little importance. ‘The &z- amvmer says Gen. Branch was undeniably beaten and outgeneraled, and that our loss was consid- erable. What the Government really believes with regard to the result may be judged from the fact that Gen. Hill bes been sent forward to take the command at this point over Gens. An- derson and Branch. ft Is believed that McClellan 1s massing his troops as rapidly as ble to the north of the city, and that the bat‘le will be fought in that direction as soon as our troops can be brought to confront him. The committee of citizens appointed to make fuitable arrangements for the reception and treat- meat of the wounded, have been actively engaged for days past in the discharge of their duty Avout forty buildings have been procured, in va- rious parts of the city, to which the brave fellows areto be conveyed. Failing to procure the de- sired pumber of mattresses, the committee have made a requisition forthe luxurious cushions of the pews in our churches, and it is quite probable the churches- themselves wili be taken for hosp}- tals, Into which they mpy readily be converted. Their superior veniilation wo: recommend them fer this use. There has been no firing heard to-day, no bal- loons seen on the horizon, no smoke over Drury’s Biuff; all is quiet in the country around—the hal- cyen before storm. Dixix.
