 A Yankee, Col. Coburn, in writing an ac- count of the battle near Leesburg, to a New York paper, says:
 "The destruction of life has been far greater, in proportion to the numbers engaged, than at Bull Run.'
 He further says:
 "General Mcclellan is highly delighted with the behavior of the troops," etc.
 Very amusing, no doubt, and, after all, Oregon Baker may not have been shot, but tickled to death at the behavior of the troops. The high delight of Mcclellan will be still fur ther elevated, if there is another battle.
 Friday, the 18th day of November, has been set apart by the President of the Confederate States, as 8 day of fasting and prayer.
 The New York Herald favors the project of appointing Prince Salm Sam to the chief com mand of the federal army, thus superseding Mcclellan, who is voted slow. From the Her aids account, this Salm Salm must be terri ble fellow. He has been in l7 pitched battles, had 103 hand to hand encounters besides other perils. This is not alI he is the very deuce among the ladies-a Don Juan, a Turk, an his name is properly pronounced " Pshaw, Pshaw," so our joke about Sing Sing is lost.- When the Yankees threaten the South hereaf- ter, we will know what they mean, and will be prepared to say "pshaw pshaw!"

 Jack Pettus who was killed in the battle near Leesburg, was son of Gov. Pcttus of Missis- sippi.
 The Ohioans have found marc's nest in the shape ofa castle Of the Knights of the Golden Circle. One fellow swears he was initiated in a wagon, and gives the form of the oaths he took. They are simply parcel of stuff about wading in blood, to oust Lincoln and to aid Davis to reach Washington. The K. C. C's were established years ago, before Lincoln was thought of for President, and had no reference to the present state of things, and the afiant either lies when he says such paths were admin stered to him, or Peter Hopkins, who he says administered them was pulling wool over his eyes.
 A correspondent of the Cincinnati Times, writing from Gauley river in Western Virginia, says that the condition of the Yankee troops in the hospitals is appalling. He says pr. Shu- mard, brigade surgeon of the first Ohio brigade, was making himself generally useful. This Shumard resided for long time at Ft. Smith.

 The Richmond Dispatch says that large num- bers of the negroes stolen by the invaders have been taken to Cuba and sold, and proposes that every man who loses slave, shall have two Yankee prisoners put in his place.

The better way is to set them to work making roads, or in granite quar- res, and coal and lead mines
