SPECIAL TO THE TIMES.

By Harper's Ferry advices, via Fred
ericksburgh, we learn that 1000 Mississip-
plans arrived there to-day. Two regiments
from Alabama arrived yesterday. They
are all hard lot. The smallpox has bro
ken out among the troops there. A COM
pany Of cavalry left Harper's Ferry for Mar
tinsburg to prevent Union men from voting
on the 23d, as this is a strong Union dis
trict.
The Home Guard of Frederick City have
arrested man who was setting fire to a
large tan yard. The city is guarded by
Union men, and all Secessionsts are closely
watched.
The Union men of the district will nomi-

The New York Herald Of August 27 says
The news Of the death Of this distinguished
lady has Just reached MS from Europe-news
which her many friends and admirers on this
side the Atlantic will be sorry to hear.
Miss Hayes was born in Limerick, Ireland,
about the year 1920, and at an early ago
showed a most decided talent for music,
which was kindly fostered by her friends;
and, thanks to the then Episcopal Bishop of
her native city, she was enabled to receive
lessons from the accomplished Professor
Sapio in Dublin. Her first appearance in
public was in concerts, at which she sang
with great success the beautiful melodies Of
her native land. But with increasing years
grew ambition, and she determined to try
her powers in wider field, where success is
sweeter aud fame more brilliant and lasting.
She accordingly went to Paris, where she
placed herself under the tuitisn OF the cele-
brated Spanish teacher, Garcia, aud after
ward proceeded TO Milan, where she became
the pupil of Ronconi,
Her debut in opera was made at Marseilles,
in the HpgNenots, in the year l945. She was
Immediately Rfterward engaged at the cele.
bTated theater of La Scala, in Milan, where
she gathered laurels from the most discrimi-
mating musical audience in the world, win
ming universal admiration by the simplicity
and paturalness of her manner and the purity
at Vienna, and after having made the tour of
the principal cities of Italy, made her first
appearance in London in lS49. Two years
later she left Europe for the United States,
ard arrived in this city in the Fall of 1851,
making her frat appearance in New York in
q concert at Tripler Hall, where the Lafarge
Hotel now stands. Her successful career in
this country is well known. She seldom
appeared in opera while in the United States,
preferring TO appear in concerts, following in
this the example of her Swedish rival, who
had Just preceded her, While here she be-
came attached TO her agent, Mr.. Bushnell-a
professional man. Hhom she subsequently
married. She afterward visited California,
the Sandwich Islands, Australia and India,
returning to London, where she appeared at
Covent Garden in 1855. AT little later
period her husband died.
Her voice was a soprano of great compass
and strength, very smooth and remarkably
flexible. In Opera her most successful roles
were Lucia" in Lucia di-LGmmeTMoor, and
Linda" in Linda di ChdmouHi. She ap-
pesred occasionally in English Opera with
Miss Hovello, where her usual success at
tended her. In the judgment of some,
however, she was better in concert than on
the stage, and certainly in the national
melodies of her country Miss Hayes had no
rival.
The news which brings us the sad intelli-
gence of her death does not tell us
where it occurred; though it was, most
probably, in England or Ireland-in her own
sorTowful land perhaps, where she first drew
| inspiration from the melting strains Of a
| Carolan, and the touching verses Of Moore.

a Joint attack, third fell mutilated, leav-
ing but fragmentary relies. A lark apiece
was mere practical joke; and cheese, with
celery, left nothing further wanting to ap-
pease those cravings which had prompted
them TO action. While these little matters
were in progress the landlord had found
the shoemaker, and told his story.
"Well,' said Lapstone "this is plaguy
unlucky, for I've just had gallon Of broth
Such O famous chance, too; for If there IS
any thing am particularly fond oil, GER
tainly ducks is a weak point, siT."
Boniface, thinking il his only chance,
urged him to try; and the man of bristles,
nothing 10th, consented. On being duly in
troduced, orders were given for settlng-to
on the spot, to insure fair play, and defeat
any supplementary aid, or deposit in any
other pocket, save that with which the saw
age in nude state finds himself provided
the stomach. While the travellers slipped
their wine, and triAed with their dessert,
the voracious cobbler fell heartily to work
on the row of eight ducks before him-one
having been sent down for the undeserving
groom, whose blunder had proved godsend
10 the man of leather. Wisely eschewing
vegetables, and eating scantily of bread, the
diSjecta membrd Of the doomed ducks rapidly
yielded up their savory integuments. But
flesh is weak, and cobblers' appetites are
not wholly unappeasable; so that while the
fifth victim was under discussion, a stimu-
liant, in the shape of ia little brandy was
requested; and when the sixth was but
slowly and more slowly disappearing, poor
Lapstone, who began to think farther pro-
gress impossible, was seen whispering to
the landlord. The gentleman loudly de-
manded what the fellow was saying.
"Sir" said the landlord, promptly and
cupningly, "he says he wishes there were
half-a-dozen more; for he is just beginning
10 enjoy them"
Confound the rascaps gluttony,h cried
the travellers; "not bit more shall he have.
Put the remaining couple by for our sup.
per; Tor we shall not leave your house till
to-morrow;" an arrangement affording much
relief to the shoemaker, and entire salts
faction to the innkeeper.

gallant volunteer officer was badly sold
a few days since. He was searching the
houses OF citizens for arms, with a squad of

FROM PEEsACoLA.-Th Pensacola Observer
of August states that on the preceding day
the flag of Fort Pickens was at half. mast for
the death of some officer The Observer Of
the 18th has these paragraphs
Gus McGibony, Of Montgomery, an indo-
mitable detective, arrived here Saturday
night from the above place with three de-
serters, named, respectively, Dupriest, Boil
ton and Pollard, in charge. They deserted
from Ben. Lane POsey's Company, stationed
near Barrancas, some time since, but were
captured and lodged in jail at Montgomery.
They were taken to the yard this morning.
Yesterday forenoon a salute of several
guns was fired from the big ship Of the fleet
on the arrival OF monster sloop-of-war from
the Eastward, and responded to by the
stranger. We are unable TO conjecture her
name. She had under her " atchful care an
unfortunate schooner, captured perhaps while
attempting to run some blockaded port.

ChOok Full of Teeter.

We once heard of boy who was dancing
about IN great glee, cutting up all sorts of
antics, and raising hubbub generally. At
last his mother said, "Why, Charles, what's
the matter with you, can't you keep still 2"
mo, ma'am," said he turning heels over
head, "Pm so chock full of teeterl'
That's the way we like TO see children
feel-full of life; ready for fuu or frolic if
they come along, and able to make them if
they do not come. Not that they should be
rude and boisterous, but SO full Of spirit that
they are ready to be touched off at any time

sters for me, when / want a frolic. None OF

would like to take them out into the pure
sunlight, where the birds sing, and every
thing is glad, and teach them how to use their
little strength, and help them to grow strong
and lively, and full of teeter, too. Yes,
God made the young to be happy-not in
reading love stories or in sitting in the
corner of the room like an Egyptian
mummy, to be looked at--but to be glad as

MILK-In this country we depend en-
tirely upon cows milk, if we except an oc-
casional resort to asses milk for invalids.
But in other countries the milk of the goat
sheep, mare camel, and rein. deer are util-
lied. Sleeps milk is common beverage
in Toorkistan, where the sheep are milked
regularly three times a day. 1t is also
used in Sweden and Denmark, Goats
milk is used in Switzerland, reindeer
milk in Lapland. The milk of the camel is
q very favOrite drink in all countries where
the animal is used. The quantity given by
the camel, without green food, does moi
usually exceed quart but the Bactrlan
whichkenjoys a more succulent diet, yields
twice that quantity. Some of the pastoral
tribes possessing large herds live almos
wholly upon camels' milk during great
part of the year, and it is frequently given
to favorite horses, which are extremely fond
OF it.

A CANADIAN 0PISIoN.--A good deal has
been said about the ineficienoy of the block
ade of the Southern ports, bat very unjustly.
There are between two and three hundred
vessels now engaged in the blockade, and
more are being brought forward. The
wonder is that SO much has been done in 50
short time, The South feels the pressure
of the blockade keenly and their sole hope
Of Its being raised rests on the action of the
European powers who will not interfere.
II the North could only add to their presen.
movements the landing of forces at Varioui
points on the Southern coast, the rebels
would be about ss thoroughly harrassed as
