ALGIEEs IrEMs.-Frorn the Algerine Newsboy Of
Saturday we clip the following:
For the past several weeks ferry boats have
uDWOntnd dimes n,in
sees muitltudes passing down our streets. and
afterward returning. What it is they 90 to see of
course we cannot be expected to tell some say it
is turtle, some hedgehog. some ram, some
mole some thing and some another. At all
events, it is something no one ever before and
their anxious plzzes as they go, and perpeSed and
5ood humored ones as they come back, are interest
ing to every student of physiognomy. 1t has been
Suggested that the propretors of the animal might
collect large sum for the relief of families of
volunteers by charging small entrance fee.
We have several times visited the 'animule y
OF which friend Bacon speaks as above. We think
it is neither of the " crittcrs'' he mentions. It
looks to US like q hybrd-a sort of cross between
gyastcutas and plug-ugly. We didn't know
until we saw the following gentle complaint Of the
Newsboy that somebody on our side had been
| bombarding Algiers:
Last evening some persons on the other side of
the river, in the vicinity of the corporation
Wharyes, employed themselves in testing cannon
IN so careless manner as to merit the severest
reprehe nsion. The guns, which appear to have
been directed toward bank beyond the old ma
rine hospital sometimes bore wide of the mark
and in their fight the shot threatened destruction
to the lives and property of those residing in the
neighbOrhood. One ball entered the house of a
Frenchman in FreetoWn and came near killing
little girl that was playing upon the foor whilst
another struck close by a log upon which half
dozen or more men were seated. Similar acts of
carelessness are reported to have occurred on
last tInc
objection to neighbors over the river trying
their guns, but we protest most decidedly, in doing
so, agsanst their jeopardzng the safety OF the good
| and loyal citizens of the Right Bank.
Speaking of gunboats and the like, the Newsboy
puts in the following good lick for Algiers and the
| Algerine mechanics:
Col. Glenn suggests Handsboro' on Biloxi
Bay, as suitable place to build gunboats bet
ter place is Pearlington on Pearl river. There the
| best OF red cypress timber, which will never rot
can be procured. This place is quite secure from
attacks by the enemy still more so is Gainesville
/ above there. The timber is far better on Pearl
river than at Biloxi, and it is easier to get large
| timber, AS for machinery, the time is too short
for building suitable engines. and it would be better
to tow the vessels when built to New Orleans via
| Lake Pontchartran, and put the machinery in
| there. Still more expedtiOusly could they be
altogether bailt in Agers, or near the lake ends Of
Algerine mechanics. It is amportant that there
should be no delay, and that these vessels should
be at once begun and rapidly finished.
| PRESIDENTS TRIBUTE TO THE BRAVE MEN AT
| MANAssAs-The Richmond Dispatch Of the 9th
| notices the return of President Davis and the de-
monstration of welcome made by the people on
bis arrival. In answer to the vociferous calls made
by the people, Mr.. Davis addressed them in glow
| ing and eloquent terms of commendation of the
| gallant men who won the victory at Manassas.
| The Dispatch says:
He described the brilliant movement of General
Johnston from Winchester to Manassas and with
tervid fe .zSg drew graphic picture of the strug
| gle of the #eGried soldiers of that gallant command
for seven hours with the heavy columns of the en-
| emy. After paying a most honorable tribute to
Gen. Johnston, who seized the colors of regiment
and rallied them to the flag of the Contederaty, lie
| aluded to the glorious manner in which Gen. Beau
| regard came to the support of his comrades in
arms, and at a late hour relieved him of the odds
| against which he was contending. Each of these
| two able and consummate commanders, though
| not imprudently or idly exposing their persons
where it was unnecessary, yet, when their presence
was demanded, CALAMITY dashed before the lines,
and by their personal courage and example, reani-
| mated the ranks whenever they were shaken.
| The President, in delicate manner alluded to
his own appearance upon the field, in order to pay
a tribute 10 the devotion of the soldiers to the
| Contederacy. Men, he said, who lay upon their
| backs wounded bleeding and exhausted, when
| they saw him pass, though they could do nothing
else, waved their hats as they lay, and cheered for
| JEFF. Davis and the South. Where the ranks had
been broken and the men we're somewhat scattered,
when they the President of the South in their
| midst, shouted that they would follow him to the
DEATH and rallied cnce more for the last and the
| successful onslaught.
| NORTHERN TROOPS RETIRING FROM THE SERVICE.
| From the Baltimore Sun we learn that the Twelfth
Regiment, composed of companies from Pittsburg
and vicinity, who have been guarding the Northern
| Central Railroad since the First Regiment, Col.
Yohe, left that point, paid off on Friday, their
term Of service having expired. They will return

Donald, arrived in this city from Washington, and

| lay House, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
are packing up in order to quit their camp They,
| together with the New York Twentieth and other

| North. The deficiency thuss occasioned in Gen.
Banks command WILL no doubt, be filled up with
other troops who have enlisted for three years.
The First and Second Pennsylvania regiments
passed through this city yesterday their way to
| Harrisburg, where they will also retire from the
