How 4 MISIsTgR's POCKET WAS PIcSgD.-A
New York correspondent OF Sunday paper
tells the following, which exhibits the char
aeter of Col. Wilson'S regiment. L is TOO
good 10 be lost:
A good story is told OF Ex-Alderman Billy
Wilson's regiment of pickpockets and city
yagabonds, who are now encamped on Staten
Island. A patriotic clergyman got his con-
gregatiop in Brooklyn TO contribute quite a
pile of money last Sunday, for the benefit of
Wilson and mis- crowd. He waited upon the
Colonel at the camp, made him a pretty
speech. full OF sympathy, explained the pur-
pose OF his visit, put his hand in his pocket
to take out the gold--but IL wasn't there .
He felt in the other pocket-vanish he'd -
"Neyer mind, Colonel" said our divine,
"some OF your boys have got it its all the
same" The fact being that the reverend gen
tleman's pocket was picked before he had been
on the camp ground five minutes This story
has leaked ont silly, and makes a laugh here

The Blockade Breaker. &c.

We clip the following from letter to the
Mobile AdUertiser and Register dated New Or
leans, Sept. 10:
1 went over to Algiers yesterday to see the
steamer Manassas" commonly called "the
turtle" or '.the ram,' intended to pitch in
to" DR.. Lincoln's blockading fleet. The COM
mander of that Feet sent up challenge a
month ago to her "to come along" as he was
ready for her. My belief is when she ''comes
along" the heaviest frigate in that fleet will
have to get out of her way or somebody "will
be hurt" She is dangerous looking craft a
solid mass of wood covered with railroad iron,
and her whole covering arranged in curve
lines from which the heaviest shot must
glance. She has nine-inch gun in her bow,
and the port hole is closed by a snout like
looking shutter, which, when down, COM
pletes the parabolic curve of her conforma-
ton. Her engines are powerful, aid with
only nine inches of steam (she carries 30)
made eight knots in an experimental trip
yesterday. If one of LincOln's ships waits
for her, and depends upon her guns to drive
her of, she will sink the ship by driving hole
in her through which horse might be rid
riden. If the ship runs, the ''turtle's' single
gun can play upon and sink her, and be her.
self (bow on) invulnerable to shot And if
the fleet does not dare stand the shooting or
the butting, it will have to clear out and the
blockade is broken up. Since her trial trip
yesterday the "turtle" has risen greatly in
the estimation of the naval officers. There
is danger in her. / found several hundred
carpenters, engineers and bOiler-makers at
work at Algiers. Several gun-boats are IN
der construction, and other cid steamers are
being converted into guLboats. Two of the
floating docks are being cut down for float
ing batteries. They Will mount very heavy
ornaments and be tOwed up or down the
river wherever their services may be needed.

From the Potomac.

A general rumor was brought down on the
Central train Thursday, of renewed heavy
skirmishing on our lines. From what we can
learn, however, there has been no movement
of consequence, outside of the usual brushes
between the pickets.
Reconnaissance of the banks of the Poto-
mac show that the enemy have perfected a
line of works from the Chain Bridge to four
miles south of Alexandria, having accomplish
ed, for distance of about fifteen miles, line
of welIconstructed earthworks.
1t was understood at Manassas that we had
fortified our position on the banks of the river
at Great Falls. Gen. Banks column had
been moved not far above the Falls for the
purpose, it is supposed, of guarding the pass
age of the river.
Our troops remain quiet near Munson's Hill.
Our pickets, however. are said 10 have adj
vanced within about eight hundred yards of
some companies Of the enemy, supposed to be
New York volunteers, in the advance. and
under the fire of their batteries. Beyond the
desultory fire of the pickets, there had been
no engagement or occurrence OF Importance.
