seemed probable for time on that day, It nap
pens that very young lady Of this city might
have mentioned in after times that she Wa
born on the day of her fathers great victory
This very young lady and her mother are said
to be doing a. well - could be expected

u A few days since q lady, whose property
had coolly and deliberately walked Oh and set
up on its own account, came TO Gen. Stursis
for redress; after hearing her story, the General
replied: Madam, if had your niger, should
feel it nv duty to return him, and would cheer
fully do so; but If he has got into Lanes Brig
ade, all hell couldn's get him." The lady gave
the matter up, and her chattel is now becoming
the osner Of property.
II The large story Of the Southern Commo-
dore Hollins, regarding an engagement with the
federal feet, must be taken with many grains Of
allowance. Hollins, Of Greyto-L ;tombardment
fame, is q noted blatherskite. His report of .
"complete success" il manifestly untrue. He
does not claim to have raised the blockade, or
to have checked operations at head pass. It
will turn cut, if he made an attack, that it was
at "long taw," and that this big story was told
to encourage the despondent people Of New
Orleans.-Cs. CemmereisI.
70 A son was born to . woman in the camp
of the 37th New York regiment, and christened
Abraham Lincoln with great ceremony. The
Chaplain performed the rite; the Lieutenant
Colonel and Captain stood godfathers, and
the Surgeon sponsor The natural father was
somewhere in the crowd.
p BOGUS DIsrArcHrs.-U Unfounded state
ments Of character prejudicial to the public
interests, frequently appear in the telsgraphic
news Of journals published ut distance from
the Capital. The inquiry is often made why
the Government permits such dispatches to
pass over the wire. 1t is there fore proper to
say, BY request, that these statements really 60
by mail and not BY telegraph, or are prepared
at the points where they appear World.
D JIM CHaIsxAN NO MORE KILLED THAN
BREckrNRIDoE.-It was reported last week that
the Hon. J. s. Chrisman of Wayne, in command
Of rebel company, had been wounded in a
skirmish with q portion Of Wolford's cavalry,
and died of his wounds. The Dsnvillc Trib-
une learns that Mr.. c. was not in the engage
ment referred to at all, and has raised no COM
pany for any purpose, but is at his home in
Monticello. His law partnel. Jas. II. Sauaey,
was killed
p Lieut.. Russell, who led the gallant and
successful attack on the privateer Judith, in
Pensacola bay, has been thanked BY the Secre-
tary of the Navy, and promoted to the COM
mand of one of the new gunboats now fitting
out for coast service. He has been ordered to
report at Washington.
70 Most Of the Secessionists say that there
isn't any U. s. Government. Prentice thinks
those of them in Fort Lafayette think there
is.
G' Mrs. Greenhow, q female rebel, who was
imprisoned in her own house in Washington,
has sent her washing bill to the Secretary, and
he is puzzled whether to pay it or not.
70 A Richmond journal complains that some
of the army clothing in that region falls to pie
ces when you look at it very hard. A cotem-
porary suggests that the rebel army around its
chief, il he stares much at his soldiers, must
look something like Moore's description of the
ballet girls in Paris, who
"-danced round the prophet
In very thin elothin: and bus little Of it,"
T The Memphis Appealoffers the following
polite invitation:
"Let the brutal minions of beastly despo-
tism come on! The slaughter pens ara ready.
and Yankee blood shall flow as free a. festal
wine"
That sounds consllyating. Don't it7
T REBEL VANDALIsn.-A high officer from
the camp at Nolin brings intelligence that the
rebels have at length done what they have for
some time been threatening destroyed the no.
bic railroad bridge across Green river. This
is but in keeping With the rest of the Internal
deeds that have marked the whole progress of
the rebellion. The whole spirit of the rebel
lion is spirit Of destruction and ruin.-Lox

u What a beautiful time it is for peace |
meetings. in Kentucky, when the insolent;in, a.
3er's tread is upon her soil-when he Is seising
her cities and fortifying himself upo. her banks
when his annunciation has gone forth that he
will annex her to his domain, "though at the
price of blood and onquest!"-P,entiee.
p The refusal of Col. Frank P. Blair to re-
'ume his sword, and take command of his reg
ment, should be matter of congratulation, As
{ places competent man (Totten) at the head
,f the artillery regiment. and he probably
Knows more about that service than the ambi.
ious Colonel would learn in decade.-Cin.

" There are four thousand colored men in
all regimented, who are ready to
inter the army should Government ever have
he nerve to employ them. Twice the number
ave been organized in Canada, and only wait

p The opinion that the U. 8. Government
rill be able to subjasate the rebels, is rapidly
aiming ground in Europe. London Times
Russell says. in his last letter received, that be
'as no doubt Of the ultimate power" Of the
dhering to subjugvte the insurrectionary States.
