an Unauccessfui movement.


The Richmond Examiner, Of the Oh instant,
says,
A few days ago, Col. Albert Rust, com
handing one Of the regiments from Arkansas,
and now stationed a Monterey, proposed TO
execute a most daring feat, which, but for un
toward circumstances, would doubtless have
proved successful, and stamped him a hero.
Calling for volunteers for his enterprise, he
accepted the services OF eleven hundred men,
and, with two days r~ations, and stripped of all
super1uous clothing, and accoutrements, be
took a ciTcuitous trail, intending and expect
ing it to bring him out ia the rear Of the enemy
at Cheat Mountain. His plan was, so soon az
they hove IN sight Of their camps, to fire but
one round from their guns, and then to close
with the foe and to use the bayonet and the
bowie knife. Gen. Jackson was to cooperate
with him by menaeing and attacking the
enemy in front so soon as Rust should develop
his arrival in the rear by firing. Unfortunate
ly for the success OF the enterprise, the trail
bad not previously been explored, and, instead
Of carrying Col. Rust to the enemy's camp,
took him elk miles behind 1t, 10 a direction
which rendered it inaccessible, leaving them
no other resource but to execute an immediate
retreat. So confidently was success counted
on, that Gen. Jackson drove in the enemv's
pickets, ard waited nearly half a day for the
signal Of Rust's arrival in the rear to com
mence the attack In 'front.'.

RUSSIAN WIFE SHow.-Ihis wife chow is
now the last lingering relic Of what was once
a popular national custom. Here the sons

ments the family could raise, and sometimes
carrying in their hands a bunch OF silver tea
spoons, or playing gracefully with a huge
silver ladie, as if it were a fan; while tue
young men, also appearing to the best sdvan-
tage, would stroll by item, and Oh seeing any
young lady who particularly struck their
fancy, would politely inquire about her dewer
from the parents, who invariably sccompa-
MED the blushing damsels. The custom so far
exists to the present day that, had | been matri-
