How n Creased Pig was Caught by a
Rhode Island Volunteer.

!. The excellent army correspondent of
the Providence Journal in deecribiug the
amusements INDUCED in Ivy the First Rhode
Island Regiment at Camp Sprague, near
Washington, when off duty, gives the iol-
lowing humorous account OF a race Tor and
capture OF creased pig by the volunteers ::
The poor poraer, closely shaved and
thoroughly fabricated froai snOut to TAIL
was conveyed to- the arena in a covered
bUX. Piteuus indeed Was the expression
of his innocent tace when, uncaged, he
was turned adriIt. Unknowing his destiny,
he slowly Stepped from his prison, grunting
satisfaction at release. But with whOop
ten incarnate fiends rushed mady forward
and endeavored to clutch bis prehensie
tail. Piggy, of a sudden, awoke to a re-
alizing sense of his position, and darted on,
uncertain: where to go, and emitting the
most doleiul squeals. He rushed here, and
secuted thee, having no respect for the legs
OF any one, and routing people in every
direction. The men perspiring hot and
eager, were desperate in the chase. They
grabbed and caught only to find their eff
forts futile. No sooner would the prize
appear to be won than it was lost. The
difficulty OF capture was enhanced by its
being allowable only to hold the animal by
his unctous appendage- any other method
being ruled out. The feat appeared impos
sible, but one man sublimely rose whose
intellect was adequate TO the performance
of the feat. He showed himself to be the
very Napoleon of pig chasers. He scared
supreme at the arduousness OF the task, and
watching for an opportunity threw himself
bodily on the victim, and seized the tail
between his teeth. The squealing was
terrific, but Was drowned in the shreks of
laughter that were undoubtedly heard 10
Washington. Who got the pig? Why a
marine, of course.

The CONFEDERATE CoMMIssIoNERs.--T The
Charleston Mercury of the Goth ultimo, says
of the refusal of Great Britain to permit
privateers to bring their prizes into British
ports
We are only surprised that any of the
commissioners have remained day in Lon.
don after this order was issued. This is an
act ofquas hostility, which, it appears to
US, ought to have arrested all conferences
with British authorities. 1t was we'll
known that, whilst Great Britain has the
greatest interest in the independence of the
Confederate States, there is an element of
anti-slavery fanaticism which would in all
likelihood, paralyze her counsels in our fa-
vOr.
1t concludes by asking
Have our commissioners been empowered
to offer France and England treaty guar.
teeing for number of years low duties on
their manufactured commodities imported
into the Confederate States? We fear not;
for if they had been empowered to make
such treaties, we are satisfied that they
might before this have returned home with
their mission completely successful; and the
war on our frontier, on the part of the
United States, reduced to weak absurdity.

The Eulogies upon Senator Douglas
WASHINGTON. Julv !

WASHINGTON. Julv 10.
Of the eulogies delivered upon Mr.. Doug
las in the Senate, two only attracted par
ticular attention, and those perhaps because
they were delivered by the new Senators,
Browning Of Illinois, and McDougal of
California. Mr.. Browning took the Senate
and audience by surprise. 1t being his first
speech in Congress, and few persons here
ry, his eulogy surprised nearly all who heard
it, by its eloquencc and power. He takes
his position at once in the Senate as first
rate speaker. Mr.. McDougall of Caifor-
MIA, has become already popular here. His
appearance favors him in this recpect, for
he is one of the best looking men in the
Senate, and his manners are such as to win
him friends anywhere. His political course
will be perfectly satisfactory to those Re.
publicans in the California legislature who
voted for him. He supports the Admins
tration most heartily in all its efforts to car
ry on the war and suppress the rebellion, in
fact has sunk all party feelings out of sight.
II this good example be followed by the
other Democrats in CoDgress-and it win
be by many of them-the session will be a
short and a pleasant one.
In the House, the interesting feature of
the eulogies upon Mr.. Douglas was the ap-
pearance of Mr. Crittenden as the eulogst
of the man with whom for more than six
teen years he has had intimate relations in
the United States Senate. On account of
the popularity of his voice, many passages
of his eulogy were only heard by those i'm.
mediately around him, but it was touch.
ingly eloquent tribute to the talents and
character of Mr.. Douglas.-Correspondence

Emigration to Minnesota.

The Chicago Post says the principal emil
grafton this season has been to Iowa and
Minnesota, aud then adds
We have statistics, which, when they are
properly tabulated, will be published, of the
growth of these states from this source du-
ring the past eight months. The greater
part of the immigration into Minnesota du-
ring this time has been of Norwegians.
This thrifty and hardy people are just the
men to occupy the unimproved fertile lands
of this region. They nearly all bring with
them some money, and in many instances
farming utensils and household goods. Some
as they arrive are ready to 60 to work, and
at once commence to make contributions of
their labor to the wealth of the nation. A
gentleman of great practical knowledge and
careful observation. who has recently trav-
elled in Minnesota assures US that in many
respects that state is in a most encouraging
way. Settlements are everywhere being
commemorative crops are of fine promise
and. with no new interruption to her pros
perity, she will soon take proud rank
among the States of the Union.

The Voice Of Douglas.

Senator McDougal, Of California, in pro.
nouncing a eulogy upon Senator Douglas,
in the Senate Chamber, the other day, said !:
But, as powerless for the moment to resist
the tide of emotions, bowed my head in
silent grief, it came to me that the senator
had lived to witness the opening of the
present unholy war upon the government
That witnessing it from the capital of bis
state as his highest and best position, be
had sent forth war cry worthy of that
Douglas who, as ancient legends tell, with
the welcome of the knightly Andalusan
King was told:
"Take thou the leading of the van,
And charge the Moors amain:
There is not such a lance as thine
In all the hosts of Spain.''
Those trumpet notes, with continuous
swell are still sounding throughout all the
borders of our land. l heard them upon
the mountains and in the valleys of the far
state from which l came. They have com.
municated faith and strength to millions.
He lived to witness bis great appeal to a
nation OF freemen answered by unnumber>
ed legions of patriotic men, to feel and un-
derstand with a confident assurance that
the mad assault made by misguided men
upon the integrity of our Union, instead
OF resulting in disunion and anarchy, would
establish our institutions upon deeper and
frmer foundations, and leave a certain
guaranty of peace, liberty, and unity to
our children to remote generations. He
lived to have by the majesty and power
of his last great effort, given above the
reach Of malice or detraction, and to have
secured for his memory the love and ad-
miratiOn of all men who love freedom here,
everywhere and forever. 1 ceased to grive
for Douglas. The last voice of the dead
Douglas l felt to be stronger than the voices
of the multitude of living men.

Five Million Dollars Borrowed In
Three Hours.

On Tuesday the Assistant Treasurer of
the United States at New York received,
at ll1a A. M, a telegram from the Secreta..
ry of the Treasury. "Borrow Immediately
for the United States five millions of dol
lars on Treasury notes at sixty days" Our
readers will remember what day Tuesday
was how the intense heat took all life and
spirit and vigor out of the whole human
race in this latitude, and made efforts at the
transaction of business-such business as
there was to be transacted mere feeble
make ships and semblances of work and
yet, although this demand was received on
ly within half an hour of noon, before three
o'clock the whole loan of five millions was
obtained, and three millions two hundred
thousand dollars of it was in the Sub-Treas-
ury. And this too, without any other se-
curity being offered or asked than the mere
assurance of the Secretary of the Treasury
and his Assistant that the government
needed the money, and would return it with
interest.-New York Times.
