JEWELS ON THE ALTAR.-The Examiner
also has the following ;-"One of the most
amiable and fashionable young belles.of our
city, on yesterday, placed in the hands of a
friend her casket OF jewels, valued at ST 200,
which she instructed him 10 sell to the best
account, and appropriate the proceeds to the
benefit Of such volunteer soldiers OF the state

not all, however; she promised to put by from

FROM RICHMOND AND NoRFoLK.-We
gather the following facts from gentleman
who left Richmond via fortress Monroe on Sat
urday: There are now at Norfolk nine or ten
thousand southern troops. The number of
troops at Richmond he estimates at over TWEEN
ty thousand. The Norfolk Day Book of We'd
nesday last which this person brought with
him, contains long and abusive article upon
Gen. Butler and his course stigmatises him as
the hero of Annapolis, and INDUCES in a TRADE
OF personal reving. The editor calls upon
southern merchants TO forward certain delca
ces to Norfolk, which the people want, and
among other things, says "Send us some
lemons. Our sick need them, and not one to
be had here"
jeff Davis was at Richmond, and senator
Wigtall made speech there, in which he in
formed his auditory that 'the president Of the
southern contederaCy had arrived to lead in
| person his forces to battle, and that he would
MT disguise himself in Scotch cap and mill
tary cloak as another had done on a certain
occasion" He added that the south were con-
tending for their rights, and they were bound
to fight, if necessary, until the last men died
in the bitches"
FEMALE SMUGGLERS.---A correspondent OF
the Louisville Courier, writing from Harper
Ferry, says Yesterday two ladies reached
here from Baltimore, who deserve remem-
brance Tor their patriotic services. They were
| determined TO bring friends here something
useful, and it is with the EXTREMIST difficulty
that anything can escape the espionage estab-
lished over travellers at the Relay House, lovely
woman herself not being exempt from protane
examination by these northern rowdies. But
in this instance our lady friends are signally
successful One of them IA daughter Of Judge
| Thompson) attired herself in two full suits of
uniform, over which she wore her appropriate
female garb, while the other lady concealed
beneath her crinoline $4,000 pecusson caps
which are of iueStimable value to us just now
The only sickness at the post is confined to
the Missssipians, among whom there are ovel
40 cases OF measles"
The OLD FLAG IN TENNESSEE. There are
still many good union men in West Tennessee
who cherish Their loyalty in secret, and the
number grows as you go east Whenever tn
federal columns are ddrdnced IN force towdrdS til,
gull, their number lriH be materially increased, aac
those Of the rebels diminished By deSe,tionS, anc
many an old federal flag now consigned TO til,
oblivion Of the closet will float on the breez,
that bears no whisper of loyalty.
