EEL saw in Broad street this after
noon sad spectacle, and as the individual
has Northern home, must perforce al
lude to it. The young man, or man-boy,
of 10, was parading in full epaulets, and
an outfit representing some 500, made
for him by leading tailor in Broadway,
New York. He had just arrived here,
auant courier of party of ofMirty-sir, who
intend to steal away one by one from their
Northern firesides, and fight to the death
of the flag on which they have been nurs-
ed. They hail from the "City Of Church
es," the home of Mr.. Beecher, and call
themselves the Secession Volunteers"
Many of them are very well of, and some
are still merchants in your. City. At
Beecher's Church they got up row dress
ed as sailors; in Boston they mobbed
Wendall Phillips, and, in fac:, wherever
there has been chance for political row,
they have been prominent. They fired the
"Secession Salute" on the Battery short
time since, and are ready at any time to
go the whole figure, throwing overheard
principle and honor as worthless trash.
Thoy profess to have been invited to come
here, one by one, to disarm suspicion. But
this is so foreign 70 real Southern manli-
ness, that 1 doubt that part of their story
very much. 1 think if Judge Smalley
could nip such low Arnoldism in the bud,
he would receive the hearty thanks of ell
ther section. We don't want any such
trash.-.Southern Paper.

KISSING THE SECESSION PREsIpENr-
Several of the Southern papers felt ap-
grived anl outraged at the indelicacy Of
MIR. Lincoln in kissing little girl at Sill
yer Creek. From their point of viey, the
transaction at JEFF. Davis RECEPTION on the
18th were perfectly atrocious. We quote
from the correspondent of the New Or
leans Picayune.
l omitted to mention, in its proper
connection, that quite a number of ladies,
at the levee last night, were prodigal in the
expenditure of kissing salutations to the
President. He was abundantly kissed and
rekissed, and there were many masculines
present who thought there was tao much
waste of that de.ectable commodity, at
such an early period in the history of tho
Confederation. II it be true that "kissing
goes by favor" there were "sealed propo-
sails" popped 10 the President last night,
and office hunters had better get among
the kissed ladies' it they desire success and
preferment. Perhaps it may not be very
prudent to say, but neither the ladies nor
the President seemed to dislike such tat.
titudiuations." -s

The Great Floating Battery Of
New York.

A large amount of war material has
been shipped from Pittsburg destined for
the celebrated Stevens Floating Battery,
New York, which has been in course of
construction several years, and will be To-
Gated at the "NarTows," near that city,
The whole amount of shell furnished, was
one hundred and fifteen tons. The vessel
was built under the direction of Robert L.
Stevens. 1t is about four hundred feet in
length, with about fifty feet beam, being
next to the largest vessel of which keel has
yet been laid. Notwithstanding her
great size, she will draw but light a.
mount of water. The hull of the vessel
is built of iron plates, about three-fourths
of an inch in thickness, nearly eight feet
in length, and about two feet in width.
They are fastened together BY rivets pla-
ced at about the distance Of an inch and
half of each other. The riveis below the
water-line are smooth headed, so that they
will offer no resistance to the vessels pro-
gress through the water, while those above
the water-mark, protrude from the vessels
side over half an inch, terminating in
sharp point. 1t is said, when completed,
there will be nine shells, or plates of iron
with space between, making wall twenty
seven inches in thickness. Being sharp
at the bow, she can be used for cut
ting vessel in two. She was designed
10 carry thirty guns of the heaviest calibre
on her gun-decks, and mount four Paixhan
guns on her spar-deek, and furnaces for
heating red hot shot, were to be placed in
different parts of the ship. From the fact
that she is supplied now with her material
it is probable that she is sufficiently COM
pied to be ready for use.

In short time the party Of horsemen
rode up to the Willows, and true enough
they were the red coats, headed by lieu
tenant, with Classen. i
"Fire!' shouted Van Dyke. a-e.A
So sudden and deadly was the aim, that
not more than half dozen remained in
their saddles, who wheeled their horses and
fled as quick as possible. Van Dyke had
Intentionally aimed at the horse of Classen,
and he fell with his rider. To secure the
latter was the work of moment.
"Now, lads, bring out the rope and
throw it over that willow branch; we have
alarmed the enemy and they will be down
upon US. ...
"Mercy! mercy" cried Classen.
All in vain. The moose was slipped
over his head, they strung him UP, and
there he was left until be was corpse
The burning of the "Wiilows" had been
avenged. -

HAPPY WoMEN.-A happy woman! is
not she the very sparkle aud sunshine Of
lifea A woman who is happy because she
can't help it-wbose smile even the coolest
sprinkle Of misfortune cannot dampen. Men
make terrible mistake when they marry
for beauty or style; the sweetest wives are
those who possess the magic secret of be-
ing contented under any circumstances.
Rich or poor, high or low, it makes no diff
ference; the bright little fountain of joy
bubbles up just as musicaly in their hearts.
Do they live in log cabin, the fire that
leaps up on its humble hearth becomes
brighter than the gilded chandeliers in AL
ladin's palace. Was ever the stream of life
SO dark and unpropitious that the sunshine
Of ashappy face falling across the turbid tide
would not awake an answering CLEAN p
Why, these joyous tempered people don't
know half the good they do.

Indian Battle on the Pecos.

MIR. Babbet, says the San Antonio Herr
aid of the 9th, has just returned from a
trading trip to chihuahua, looking in fine
health and spirits. He gives an interest
ing account of an engagement, on the
Pecos river, between about seventy five
Camanches warriors and the employees OF
the supply train of the San Antonio and
Diego mail line, in charge of Capt. D.
Wood. The train was on its way from El
Paso. to the coast. 1t consisted of thirteen
wagons loaded with copper, about two hun
dred mules, and twenty five men, Mexicans
and Americans.
On the evening of the 26ih of January,
the train encamped about an hour before
sundown. The mules were turned out to
Craze, and in a few minutes, the savages
made a charge amongst them, shooting
guns,discharging arrows, ,brandishing spears,
and yelling like infuriated demons. Cap
tain Wood and his men rallied in defense
of their property, and the fight soon be-
came general. Camanches, Mexicans, and
Americans were all mixed up together
The mules were eventually driven into the
pen, but so frightened and confused that it
was impossible to keep them; they broke
out, and as the Indians retreated, the
mu:es actually became unmanageable and
followed them. The company belonging
to the train took after them, rushed in and
succeeded in saving about one-half. The
savages having discharged their guns com
menced retreat, driving off the hundred
animals that they had succeeded in taking.
Another large body of Indians was dis
covered in the distance, and as it was get
ting nearly dark, further pursuit was con-
sidered imprudent. Two Indians were
killed, whilst none of the attacked party
were injured.
From private letter from one of the
party, we learn that Capt. Wood, Mr.. Bab-
bet, our townsman, and DR.. Lee, distin-
guished themselves for GOODNESS and brave
ry-and that to them and the entire party
the company is indebted for the animals
that were saved.

His grasp of Milly was relinquished, and

His grasp of Milly was relinquished, and
she fell 10 the floor.
10, sir" she cried to the new conner
"This man has robbed US, and would muir
der me that l would not tell of it."
"Fear not, madam, he shall not harm
you" responded thestanger. "Fellow, sur
render yourself"
sect out of my way" cried the robberi
making rush for the door, and striking
at the stranger with large knife.
Giving back few steps, the stranger
seized the robber by the collar, whirled him
around, and threw him on his face in the
snow. The robberstruggled, but the stran'
ger knelt heavily on the small of the back,
and grasped his hair.
"Lie, still" said the stranger, "or l will
send bullet through your BRAIN
The robber felt the cold barrel of pis-
tol at his ear and. obeyed. Milly quickly
brought ropes, at her rescuer's request, and
the robber was bound hand and foot.
'1t was a strange providence" the new
conner said, shat overlook me with snow
storm on the prairie, and forced me an
hour ago to take refuge in your smoke
bouse, nearly dead with cold"
Milly acknowledged the truth of the re-
mark, and she knelL and thanked her
Father in Heaven for her deiverance.
The next day MilIy's husband came
home, and when he had been told all, he
remarked:
"This fellow was in the tavern at the
village the day sold my produce. 1t will
learn me lesson-never to let stangers
know when money is plenty with me, lest
they be tempted to crime and bring ruin
on me and mine."
That day some sixty or seventy men
gathered at the house of Mr.. Dean. The
robber was recognized as notorious horse
thief who had long infested the neighbor-
hood. There was a summary trial, and
then in dogged silence the wretch who
would have burned a harmless infant and
murdered faithful woman, submitted TO
his inevitable fate. A rudely constructed
gallows and "a stout rope ended his exis-
tence. So on the thinly settled frontiers
of the West, do they meet out justice to
offenders against property and life.
There were about seventeen hundred
dollars in bills found on the person of

is that where dwells Milly Dean and her
husband - Geason's.
