WE HAVE news of another victory of our arms over the rebels in Western Virginia, On Sun day there was fight at Boone Court-IIouse, in which the Rebels lost six men and had large number wounded. None O our men were killed and but few wounded. No particulars of the numbers engaged or of the commanding officers, arc given. The town was burned by the Ma tional troops It is believed in Washington that a battle was fought yesterday in Western Virginia between Rosecrapz and Lee, but nothing more definite than the merest rumors had reached there Authentic advices from Gauley Bridge, in the valley of the Kanawha, report the forces under Gen. Cox in good condition--constanty impro' |. ing in discipline and strongly--rostel The stae. ments c] argng Gen. Cox with incomrctency- his men with drunkenness and insubordination, are utterly false. The troops have been sober obedlent and respective of persons and property, Leading Secessionists have borne willing testi. mony to these facts after having been told bv Wise that the Union forces come to rob mur der, and destroy. The recent retreat of Wise from Gauley Bridge was precipitatc and disorlet- ly-he left his camp utensils and food behind him. Gen. Cox handled his men so as to obtain de- cided advantage in position, and forced Wise to retreat or fight with almost certainty of de- float. It was perfect rout without battle the movement of scattered and retiring forces of the ex-Governor extending over 1O0 miles. The letter from which we glean these facts says under dat, of August 24: Hast week Floyds army advanced to attack us, but in brisk lit- tie battle, our advance guard so worsted his, that he beat retreat, and we have seen no more of him." The movements of Gen. Cox have received the warm approval of Generals Scott and Mcclellan.
 From Washington, we have nothing of great importance. The Rebels are impudently enough pushing the work on their Notifications at Muu- sons Hill, in sight of the Capitol but this will
 probably not be allowed long to continue. The spade and pickaxe appear to be very vigorously used on our side, and each hours work places Washington in 8 state of more efficent defense. The glorious;news from the North Carolina coast and the stirring proclamation of Gen. Fremont, give elasticity to the feeling at the Capital, and all are in good spirits.-7ribnne.

Force OF THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION
The Liverpool Post says that, perhaps,
rightly considered, the present movemeat is
a palpable proof of the strength Of the
American Constitution. There is something
like rank rebellion in South Carolina. Civil
war is talked of, and the Government is in
active or trimming, yet every thing goes on
as if nothing was the matter. Trade is
brisk, the banks are LIBERAL and money toll
erably plentiful. In any other country there
would be commercial panic, cessation of
dealing, and a terrible alarm. The army
would be called out, the national forces aug.
mented, and any number of suspected per-
sons in prison. But Jonathan acknowledges
no alarm, and, if not Indifferent to the re-
suit, seems to care very little what it may
be. The free States are quite strong enough
to stand alone and while people talk of
North and South, they seem to forget that,
greater than both, there is a mighty West
drawing within its happier influence the re =.
sources of the North and South. Treason
and rebellion are, therefore, merely incidents
in Republic so vast, and to be extinguished
rather by neglect than by force. There
will be any quantity of talk, but probably no
fighting.

DEATH PREFERABLE TO NEW JERsEY.-One
terrible stormy night in bleak December, a
United States vessel was wrecked off the
coast of Jersey, and every soul, save one,
went down with the doomed craft. This one
survivor, Western gentleman, seized float
ing spar, and was washed toward the shore,
while innumerable kind-hearted tools of the
Camden and Amboy Railroad stood clus.
tered on the beach with ropes and boats.
Slowly but surely the unhappy mariner
drifted to land, and as he exhaustedly caught
at the rope thrown to him, the kindly natives
uttered an encouraging cheer. "You are
saved, they, shouted, you are saved, and
must show the conductor your ticket
With the sea still boiling about him, and a
floating straw tickling his nose, the drown
ing stranger suddenly resisted the efforts to
haul him ashore. "StopP said he, in faint
tone. "Tell me where am what country

The Effect of Fine Clothes and Brazen As.
sU!ance- A Sketch Of Beau Fielding.
In recent volume entitled The Kits and

Bedu1 Of Society, occurs the following
The emolnments of this office enabled Or.
lando, as The Tdttler calls him, to shine forth
in all his glory. With an enviable indiffer-
ence TO the future, he lanched out into an
expenditure which alone would have made
hlm popular in country where the heaviest
purse makes the greatest gentleman. His
lackeys were arrayed in the brightest yell
low coats, with black sashes-the Hapsburg
colors. He had carriage, Of course, but,
like Sheridan, whom his gave so much
troubleto pay for, it was hired, though drawn
by his own horses.
This carriage was described as being
shaped like a sea shell; and The Tdttyer calls Il
IAN open tumbril of less size than ordinary
to show the largeness of his limbs, and the
grandeur of his person to the best advantage. u
The said limbs were his especial pride; he
gloried in the strength of his leg and arm
and when he walked down the street he was
followed by an admiring crowd, whom he
treated with as much haughtiness as if he
had been the Emperor himself, instead of his
cousin 500 times removed.
He used his strength to good or bad pur-
pose, and was redoubted fighter and bully,
though good. natured withal. In the Mall. as
he strutted, he was the cynosure of all female
eyes. His dress had all the elegance of which

sary for man to cloak his vices, nor be
ashamed of his cloak. The beau then.a. day
openly and arrogantly goried in the grand
eur Of his attire; and Dragging was part of
his character. Fielding was made by his
tailor; Brummel made his tailor. The only
point in common to both was that neither OF
them paid the tailor's bill
Orlando wore the finest rufles and the
heaviest sword bis wig was combed to per-
fectionj and in his pocket he carried comb
with which to arrange it from time to time,
even as the dandy of the day pulls out his
whiskers or curls his mustache. Such man
could not be passed over; and, accordingly,
he numbered half the officers and gallants Of
the town as his intimates. He drank, swore
and staggered, and the snobs of the day pro-
claimed him "a complete gentleman"

The TRADE IN SKATES IN THE NoRTH.-The
Detroit (Mich.) Tribune figures up the num-
Der of skates sold during the present Winter,
in that city, as follows:
The total number of pairs sold up to last
evening, were, as near as could he ascer-
tanned, 4936, at an average cost of 81 95 per
pair, or an aggregate cost of So 623 25. OF
these skates, about ], 500 pairs were purchased
by parties in the country, and the remaining
S,435 pairs were sold at retail to parties in
this city. Out of these 3,435 pairs, it is
estimated that 1000 pairs Vere sold 10 ladies
Who ReVsr skated before the present season.
This gives us something of an idea of the
amount of enjoyment the fair ones, who are
usually shut up in doors, have had by taking
advantage of one of the most healthful and
inspiring exercises known. Most of the
skates sold to parties in the country were
cheap ones, many as low as twenty. ive cents
per pair, while the larger portion Of those
sold to residents Of the city were disposed of
for from 50 30 to Sc, while some sold as high
as $l2 and $l5.

THE ROMANTIC Story ABOUT LOLA Mon
TEz's DEATH.-The New York correspondent
of the New Orleans Della states that Lola
Montez's last love was a young man named
Follen, whom she picked up in San Fran
cisco, and took to Australia. He had two
girls under his charge, and bearing his name.
Who they were no one knows. They could
not have been his daughters, unless he mar.
ried at the early age Of ten. Lola and Fol-
len quarreled like cat and dog, and he
copmitted suicide, they say, in order to get
rid of her. This was in 1856. Lola returned
to the United States in lS57-'5S, with the
girls.
She called the elder one Minnie Montez,
and, as she was very pretty, put her on the
stage, and made money by the operation.
More than two years ago, this girl was mar
ried, not to an officer of the Navy but to q
gentleman who was once our Minister to
Nicaragua. So there could have been
precious little education for.her at a seminary
in Troy, as the story goes, where the term Is
four years Lola did tell her doctor that
Minnie - had cut her, and that she had
had Mysteries, and smoked great deal too
much in consequence. Probably the ro-
mantle incident which the Philadelphia
Fress started on its travels some weeks since
originated in these facts. rss-

A CAPITAL SNAKE SToRY.-A lady of my
acquaintance once displayed greater presence
Of mind than /, with my impulsiYe, shudder-
ing terror Of the dangerous reptiles, could
have supposed possible. She was lying
awake one dark night, aroused, she believed,
by slight noise in her room, and felt some
thing !come. softly on the bed, and pass softly
over her feet; it glided on, and pushed,
gently and coldly, against her arm, which
lay outside the clothes across her breast.
She then knew the moving thing was a
snake, and that to stir was to die. With what
wonderful self command, every nerve thrill
ing with horror, she lay perfectly still, while
the reptile endeavOred again and again to
nestle itself beneath the warm arm; failing
to de this, it glided slowly on over her
shoulder and the pillow, and thence dropped
on tine floor. With one oonVulsive plunge
she gained the door aud called for help; and
when light came, a large black-snake was
found and killed; but my courageous friend
suffered with ill-health for some time, from
the fright of these few awful moments.
