Miss } TINES, Of the II b inst, says:
Only last week we mentioned the fact Of
over one hundred suits Of winter clothing hav-
ing been sent IN charge Of Capt. Wilson, to
TIE Miles McGehee Rifles, now in Virginia.
These were all made by the ~ladies-friends Of
the absent soidiers-several young ladies in
the vicinity Of Concordia, making g mary as
twelve and Fifteen suits, and we are credib Y
informed that they were exceedingly well
made. Others have been busy in various WAYS
as circumstances permitted, all seeming snx-
ious to do everything in their power. Many Of
eur planters wives have donated the blankets
from their own household goods, and supplying
their place with comforts. Already over forty
pair Of warn WOODEN socks have been sent on +:
mere wool has been procured, cardsd, spun,
and now many busy fingers are daily at work
in this benevolent undertaking. We venture
that the ladies Of few counties throughout the
State have done more for the relief Of the SOL
dier's wants than have those of Bolivar county,

MILITARY ASYLUM AT PENSACOLA We
met yesterday with g member sf Capt CIan-
tons company, who has been for some time
confined by sickness in toe military hospital at
Pensacola. He speaks 10 very complimentary
terms OF the institution, stating that It is
pleasantly situated, well provided, and every
attention given to the sick that could possibly
be desired; The physicians are Of the best
order, those "aHgels of mercy"-the Sisters Of
ChaTity-are in constant attendance, and
every facility provided that Is calculated to
add to the health and comfort Of the sick.
This information, coming from one who has
but recently been the recipient Of these kind
nesses, will be a source of much consolation
to those who may have sick friends at that
point.-MsntgOmsTy Post, 18th inst.

By letter from Columbus, we learn that on
the afternoon Of the 18th a detachment of Capt.
WARNER's artillery company embarked on
board the GramPus with a six pouncer and
proceeded up the river to look after the gun
boats. Tbey went up about ten miles, when
they came in sight Of one, supposed to be the
Lexington, lying at anchor opposite Norfolk.
Capt. WARNER concluded to get as near the
enemy as possible, and kept on steaning up
the river. When within a mile and a half o.
the Lexington, be fred at her, the ball striking
the gunboat at the wheel-house. The Lsrtng-
ton now rounded to, showing Der broadsides'
when Capt. MARSH MILLER thought 1t best 10

the river, pursued by the Lexington, was hTed
at from the Kentucky side, some Of toe Fihe
shots striking within a foot of Capts. WARNER
and MARSH MILLER who were standing near
the pflos-house. Capt. WARNER Immediately
fired at them, which scared them SO that they

THE CHAMPION readers are aware that
for several weeks the New Orleans people have
been constructing what is called a oram"-s
floating battery, which was to operate on the
ships somewhat sfser the manner OF the animal
from which it received its name. The vessel is
completed; a trial trip was made Of it last
Thursday; and, as we are informed by one Of
our citizens who WAS present on the occasion,
it is likely TO be failure. It was found to lack
speed, which is a sine qua non Of a vessel Of the
kind; it is slow in obeying its helm; and what
is Of much Importance, it is 80 little provided
with ventilation that he crew would sUtocate,
even without the addition of the smoke Of artil-
lery. These defects may possibly be remedied.
Theoretically the plan was admirable; but il
a vessel for offsBse cannot move fast through
the water, it can be Of very little use. Almost
any other defect may be remedied. But no
matter; the blocksdirg feet will have to dis
perse one of these days, if not BY a "ram," by
some other means which ingenious men can
devise.-MobiIs Tribune, 18Th.
