an Intsresttnr tncIdent.

The EdtioRal IHteligsncer, Of Washington
city, learns from an authority which guaran-
tees its entire authenticity, that the following
interesting incident took place on Monday
last, about IL O'Clock, in front Of the Federal
lines on the Potomac, opposite Washington
While FIVE companies Of he Twenty-third
New York regiment were on picket duty, one
Of their number advanced considerably ahead
Of his comrades, until be observed a man, who
proved to be a Confederate officer, beckoniDg
with bis hand az If soliciting an interview.
On approaching near enough to be heard, the
latter asked if be could see the captain Of the
company to which the Federal picket belonged,
and on this fact being reported to Captain 10y
den, commanding one Of the companies IN the
23rd New York regiment, be directed a re-
Spouse to be given in the affirmative, and i'm
mediately proceeded to meet the Confederate
soldier. When the two had approached near
enough TO exchange words, Capt. L1ydeB sta
ted what arms be bore, and asked If the meet
ing was TO be 8 hostile one. The confederate
stated that be was armed 10 ike manner, but
desired only a friendly interview. Capt. 10y
den then advanced TO meet the latter, who in
reduced himself as Capt. Saunders, of the llth
South Carolina regiment.
The two captains tbeTeupon engaged in a
familiar and friendly conversation, especially
on the subject OF shooting plckets, which they
both d. plOred as contrary 10 the usages Of civ
ilized warfare, and which Capt. Loyden in
formed Capt. Saunders was contrary to the
express order OF bis colonel, and OF all col
Onels in The Federal lines, who directed their
meD, when on picket duty, never to fire except
in sels-defense. Capt. Saunders next inquired
whether Capt. Loyden was in receipt OF any
authentic intelligence respecting the capture
Of forts at Hatterss Inlet, a report OF which
had reached the Confederate troops stationed
ia Fairfax county. Capt. Loyden having in
formed Capt. saunders that the intelligence
vas undoubtedly correct, the latter observed
that, il 30, it was ga heavy blows upon North
Carolina aud the southern coast generally.
Capt. /. replied that in a war like this, be-
tween the Federal government and the revolt
ed States, 1t was to be expected that many such
blows would be inflicted before the war was
brought to an end. On parting the New York
captain rendered to tie South Carolinian some
cigars for himself and his bro Der officers
that southern luxury being, according TO Capt.
Saunders, a rare COMMODITY in the CoRfsdeF-
afe camp. The two officers then shock hands,
aud, after exchanging ~salutes, reversed their
positions a IL fBtlitGire, and proceeded TO re-
Join their respective commands.

Always take The part Of an absent person
who is censured in company, so far as truth
and proprieY wall allow. Never think worse
Of another on account Of bis differing In polit-
icsl and religious subjects. Never dispute
with q man whOis more than seventy years Of

as to wound the feelings of another. Say as
little as possible of yourself snd OF tnose woo

ST. LOUIS, May 28.-It having been
decided upon to occupy Birds Point in
Missouri opposite Cairo, orders were re-
ceived yesterday for the transfer of one Reg
iment of Gen. Lyons brigade to that place
The 4th Regiment, Col. Schuttner, has been
selected and will embark this morning in
the government steamer Saxon The
campments in the suburbs of the city are
broken up to-day and the troops quartered
in the arsenal and jefferson barracks. An
American Zouave regiment, to be com
manded by Col Morgan L. Smith, is form
ing here. An Irish brigade is also filing
up rapidly. 1t is understood that General
Harvey has authorized the immediate or
ganization of Union home guards at Han
nibal, st. Joseph, Kansas City, and Spring
field, these companies to be mustered in the
United States service and furnished with
arms. All the State troops have left Jeffer-
son City, except two companies who remain
as body guard to the Governor.
The habeas corpus case of Capt. Mcdonald
is still being argued before Judge Treat.

WASHINGTON, May 28.-The reports tina
the Confederate commissioners had an in.
terview with Lord John Russell and were
told they could not be recognized, are con-
sidered incorrect. The latest arrivals from
Europe only brought news that they had
not been recognized in London, of the same
character as the report that Stewards pro-
position to accede to the Paris declaration,
abolishing privateering, has been rejected.
Five transports conveyed by the Harriet
Lane, with $500 troops, went to the mouth
OF James River, aud took possession of a
new point there and entrenched themselves.

GJ~ A correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing from Norfolk, Virginia,
gives the following items in reference to the
little fight at Sewell's Point:
From reliable reports received here from
Norfolk, we learn that the rebels suffered
a loss of fifteen or twenty killed and wound
ed in the battery in the attack made upon
it by the gun-boat Star, on Sunday last
The battery, mounting three guns, was des-
troyed and slenced. The Star, which had
anchored within about eight hundred and
fifty yards of. the redoubt, received six shots
in her hull, and her sides were blistered
with musket balls, which were showered
upon them at an early stage of the engage
ment. The fire from the Star was so hot
that the enemy's musketeers soon ceased
firing and evacuated the redoubt

ssg- The tone of the English papers was

Gag The tone of the English papers was
considerably changed by the news of the
glorious uprising of the Northern people in
support of their Government, which finally
reached their shores. The-Manchester Guar
dian, the great organ of the cotton interest,
gives but Geld comfort to the rebels at Mont
gomery. 1t clearly sees that, slow as have
been the northern people to arouse, now
when moved, they will act with the res
olution and energy which seldom fail to
secure success in the end. The following
paragraph from the Guardian cannot fail to
stir the blood of every true patriot, and
arouse him to his utmost, to prove worthy
of the flag of which a foreign paper speaks
so eloquently:
We like 10 read that the coIors aoe oursezves
kaol0 so a0eH, the Ted 1ohite, and blue, aohich
hare been seen an UaTioas forms IN the ran of
eUery battle fought for freedom IN modern
times, are nor conspicuous on eUery breast

that the soil over aOhich they ,0aUe vW never
again be suffered to k1lotc the contamination
