the beams ofthp sun, and interspcted by streams
which pour their foods through "inIand seas"

A short time since, Gen. Shields, landing at
Hastings, on the Mississippi, compared his
freight and bill of laGing, one item calling for
seven barrels. Strange TO say, however, the
General could only find on the landing, SIX Of
his barrels. He was heard counting them over
several times with the same unsatisfactory re-
suit each time. Moving the index finger Of
his right hand up and down in pointed man
ner at each barrel, thus he soliloquIzrd aloud,
with deliberate, military emphasis: sOne, two,

with dguihed gravity, saying. Something
