A KEEN EYED SENrINEL-The camp
correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
says:
ga ludricrous incident in connection
with the spy service at Havre de Grace
occurred on Sunday night. Col. Burney
had the uniforms taken off a couple of toll
erably smart men belonging to one of the
companies, and dressed them in rough
citizens clothes. They were then sent to
Bush river to look through that neighbor-
hood, and see what was going on. They
passed down by the by-roads and lanes
during the evening, but late in the night
in coming up the track they were pounced
upon by sentinel from Captain Spears
company at Aberdeen. They told the
guard they were travellers, and desired to
pass up the road to Havre de Grace. The
guard surveyed the pair from top to toe,
and when he came to look at their shoes
suddenly brought his piece to charge
bayonct, and said, mo you don't; trav-
elers in these times don't wear Uncle
Sans brogans; I'll just arrest you for de-
sertion,' and accordingly took them be-
fore Capt. Spear, who sent them up tied
neck and heels to Col. Burney, when, it is
needless to say, they had no further trou
BILE, except the laugh, which has since
greeted them in camp.

A "SITIvATIoN. "A correspondent of
Nashville paper tells story, which may
possibly be untrue about person who
was going to Chattanooga on the rail
road. When the train entered the tun-
mel and total darkness, said person asked
stranger how long it would be going
through. Stranger was bit of wag,
and replied "two hours" Person thought
he would avail himself of the opportun-
ity to don clean shirt, and about the
time he had " shucked himself" the train
dashed out into daylight, exposing his
person to the astonished gaze of some
hundred pair of male and female eyes
belonging to passengers. He had on no
linen. and about as much other clothes as
the Apollo Belviderc-and no chance to
run. .....

THE EFFECT OF SHOT ON VEssELs.-A
shot does not make hole of its own size
right through wood, but indents it, the
fibres springing back after the shock.
Generally, the course of the shot can only
be traced by wire, sometimes by hole
as large as mans finger. The damage
most often happens in the inside of a ves-
sci, in splitting and breaking the wood
after the main force of the shot has spent.
Forts Hamilton and Richmond, which are
about mile apart, with vessel lying
between them, could not, with their guns,
send a shot through two feet of its timbers.
There is rarely an instance where ship
was sunk by solid shot. Her shot and
shells do the mischief. The latter will
sometimes make apertures of several feet
in extent through the sides of vessels

How TO MAKE AN AMERICAN FLAa.-
Not withstanding the number in use, few
persons know how to make an American
flag properly. The rule is as follows:
The flag should be Ole half longer than
wide, viz: if six feet wide, nine feet long.
The stripes should be alternately red and
white, seven red and six white, top and
bottom both red. The field should be
blue, and extend over seven stripes, COM
mencing at the top, four red and three
white. The stars signifying the number
of States should be white, arranged on
the blue field in the shape of a five point
ed star. We have seen many flags with
thirty-four stars, which is not correct, as
by act of congress the additional star is
not added to the flag until the 4th of July
succeeding the admission of new star.
