| IHE IoScBRT Last -NIGHT.-The grand vocal and
| instrumental, concert given at Odd Fellows Hall
| last night, under the management of the Washing
ton Artillery, Tor the benefit Of all absent volHn-
| teers, was a decided success. Tire Hall was
crowded, and the performance, in all respects,
| evincedthe highest order Of musical talent
MoRE YEGErAELEs WAErED.-We have been re.
quested by the committee Ia charge Of the Free
Market to state that although there have been large
quantities Of vegetables already contributed this
week, there is still not enough TO supply next Fri
| days demand, Could not the farmers on the
coast in the vicinity Of the cityspare some more.
| The poor people who are relieved would, bless
them for their befality. So.
| ENTERING; THE Holy SrsrEgHooD.-On last Sun
day. al St. Johns Church, on Dfyadea street, Miss
Gaynor, who had regularly served through the
time required for her novitiate, took the black veil
Of a nun under the name of Sister Mary Francis
Xavier. Rev. J.J:.1fullon delivered the discourse
I on the occasion, which was one of the most elo
quent oherts Of that able clergyman. Fathe,
Mulon was assisted by the Reverends Jeremiah
Moynahan, John Flanagan, John Hayden and
John Lanlagie. So novel ceremony in this city
attracted large audience, and the church was
filled from top to bottom, and the ceremonies were
showed that its s9lennity was fally appreciated
and understood.
| Nor EXACTLY YANKEE. 1t appears that the
steamer which our correspondent over the Lake
saw coming up through the Mississippi Sound yes
terday, was not, as he supposed, Yankee block
adcr, but the steamer Miranon, which has been
lying at Mobile for the past two months. On Mon
day night, during the blow, when the bleckading
squadron had about as much they could attend
TO- taking care Of themselves, the Miramon raised
steam and gave them the slip. She is now quietly
anchored at the lake end of the Pontchartrain
railroad, and though flying the British flag at her
peak, we can readily imagine that the Confederate
States will manage to effect change in that part
cular, and soon have sufficient armament aboard
to keep the Lake clear Of the Massachusetts, and
snch like craft. The Miramon, we believe, was
originally built for a war steamer, and is eminenty
adapted for our service, being light-dranght and
very swift, with sufficient strength to bear very
i heavy armament So much for the paper block
n ade.
A VALUABLE St5GEsFI9S-A military friend o
1 ours, who heard as reunarking upon the eXtraor
/ dnary belligerency among the women, as 'evi
denced by the different Recorders Court reports
suggested that if the proper authorities would Sc
every woman 10 work who made breach of th
peace, making breeches of another kind nov
} much needed by our volunteers in Virginia, W
would soon have a cessation of female hostilites
, or very large stock of neither garments. "
| hastened TO write it down, and will remark that
soldier 50 rich in experiment should be at ono
promoted.
