A WITTY PARsos.--A Scotch clergyman, by the name of Wasty Morrison, was r,sn of great laughter and hnmor. On one occa- sion yousg officer scofed at the idea that it required so much time aud study to write a sermon as ministers prcirnded, and offered bet that he would preach half aa hour on any passage in the Old Testament, without any preparation. Mr Marrison took the bet, and gave for him tex.--AAnd the Ass opened his mouth and he spaks." The par- sou won the wager, the officer being rather disincIiued to employ his eioqgsnce upon that text,
 On another occasion, Morrison enlreaied an officer to pardon poor soldier for some offence he had committed. The officer agreed to do so if he would in return grant him the flFsi favor he would ask Mir. Mor- rison agreed in this. In day or two the officer demanded tha, the ceremony of haf- tism should he performed on young puppy. The clergyman agreed ,o f, and a party of gentlemen assembled to vliDess the novel baptism. Mr. Morrison desired the officer te hold up the dag as was customary in the baptism of cblidren, and said. As l am a minister of the chmch ol Scotland, must proceed according to lhe ccremonies of the Church" Certainly" said the officer, sI expect all the ceremonyn aWeli then. ssa- Jor. begin with the usual question. Yoa acknowledge yourself the father of this pup py" \ roar cf laughter burst from the crowd, the officer threw the candidate fos baptism away. Thus the waiy minister turned the laugh against the officer. who ia. tended to deride the sacred ordnance.

From VERA CRuz.-We have seen letters from two Off

THE FRENCH IN ALGERIA.

The following depicts one of those horrible scenes
of which wars of invasion and conquest " are ever
fruitful. Those miserable and inofensive villagers,
living peaceably on the plains of Africa, under their
local patrarchal chiefs, had done no wrong to the
French Government or people, and very probably
had never heard of either before the devastating
war of annexation and subjugation burst upon their
shores. Their ancient Government was a bar
barous and pratica one and deserved chastisement
but that has been long since overhrown, their of
tending rulers banished and their capital and chief
cities in undisputed possession of the conquerors
This, however, is not enough the offences of the
banished Government can only be expiated by the
conquest and annexation of the whole land, and the
remotest tribes must come up and bow to the yoke
OF the conquerors or devastation and slaughter must
be their portion. Will the historian find no parallel
between this war, at which humanity revolts, and
that which we are now waging for equally jusifable
ends upon the half civilized tribes of Mexcol

CASE OF CHARLES LEE JONES, ESQ.

Gen. WALTER JONES has published pamphlet
entitled " The Case of the Battalion Stated; with
an exposition of the grounds upon which Charles
Lee Jones, Esq. expected to have had the command
of the battalion Consisting Of three companies
raisedby himself in the District of Columbia and two
to be raised in Maryland) conferred upon him as o.
right and justice, due both to him and to the officers
and men who had volunteered to serve under his
command as Lieutenant Colonel
We have received copy Of this pamphlet and
have examined its contents. We quote from Bal.
timore paper the annexed notice of it:
I" From the statements contained in this pamphlet
it is manifest that injustice has been done to Mr..
Charles Lee Jones. Ii seems that he rendered his
services TO Government to raise three companies in
the District; that it was sgnifed and well under
stood that he should command the battalion, should
he succeed in raising threeffths Of it that he pro-
ceeded to enlist volunteers, expended considerable
money, and devoted much time that he raised twp
entire companies, and wanted only few men to
complete the third that he was unanimously che
sen commander by the officers and men who had
volunteered; that they were mustered into public
service as being under his command that he had
appointed commssary, who was recognised BY
the War Department; and that after having thus
successfully devoted his time and means with the
full knowledge and appreciation of the Government
to the procurement of the three companies the CON-
mand was conferred on regular officer of the army
without any explanation to Mr.. Jones as TO tile
cause of his rejection. From the facts stated it
would seem that he was unfairly dealt with and
the injustice is not palliated by the fact that tie
gentleman who received the commission is highly
meritorious officer. Had the Government resolved
not to appoint Mr.. Jones, he should have been so
informed; but it was a palpable wrong to permit
him to disburse his money and labor necessarily to
raise volunteers, with the understanding that he
should have the command and then to confer it On
another. The volunteers wanted Mr. Jones as
their commander, and their wishes, if not justice
to the object of their choice, should have prevailed
in procuring for him the appointment. Clipper.
