PICTURE OF A vIvANDIERE.
To the pencil of the Washington corre-
spondent of the New York Times we are in
debted for the following picture;
recently met a Lieutenant of the Phila
doll q bn oil tu
panied by a person, in appearance a fine
looking young boy, uniquely dressed, hut
who ] subsequently, learned was Miss Vir-
einia Hall, the OiUdndiere of the regiment. In
person Miss Halls above the medium hight.
She is bright blonde, having clear blue
eye, and her light hair cut short like a lads,
and parted on the side. Her nose is slightly
Totrousse, her mouth well formed, and when
she converses, even dentists might go mad
at the display of SO fine set Of teeth.
Her uniform consists of a blue Zouave
shirt, trimmed with some colored braid, a
Zouave jacket of the same color and
similarly ornamented, tunic shirt, dark
pants, Zouave light leather CATERS, extending
from the knee down, liberty cap with a red
band, blue top, green sash and hospital
stewards ehevron. She wears short sword
and small revolver attached to her belt De-
cidedly, her appearance is prepossessing.
Miss Hall is Bostonian by birth she re.
ceived fine education at one of the academic
! Institutions on the Western Reserve, Ohio,
and by her intelligence, fine conversational
powers and pleasing manners, she impresses
| those who form her acquaintance very favor
ably. She makes herself generally useful
| about the hospital, and renders whatever
service she can to make the camp more CON-
| Portable. The Fire Zouaves take great pride
in her, and quickly resent any imputations
| made against their ViUandiere.

Earl RusseIps Opinion of IN Invasion Of
Mexico.
From tho London Times, October 9.l

FROM tno London IlmeSt OCTOBER y.
Subjoined is the answer of Lord Russell to
the memorial on Mexican affairs lately pre-
sented on behalf of the mercantile commu-
nifty. It is less hopeful than might have been
wished with regard to the possibility of a
strong and respectable government being
established in that country, but in other
respects is sufficiently explicit:
"FoRE1GN OFFICE, October 3, 1861.
"Gentlemsn; have received and consid-
cred with the greatest attention the memo.
rial you have addressed to me.
"You have described truly the evils which
affliCt Mexico--the robbery and the blood
shed, the impunity of crime, and the absence
Of any controlling authority in what is called
the government.
" Her Majestys Government have a right
by treaty, and by all the laws which govern
international relations, to require security
for the persons and property of British sub
ieets, and the performance of specific en-
gagements on the part of Mexico.
o. Her, Mgjests'S Government wiH exercise
this right.
''Buf her Mqjestys Government can not think
IL l0iSe TO interfere in the Internal government
of MeTico. You seem to think that pro-
tecting force thrown into Mexico for the
simple purpose Of maintaining public tran
uuillity, would succeed in attaining that OBJ
iect and that even o small force might suffice
for the purpose. / am sorry to say that l
think a Uery large force would be insufficient to
restore public tranquility.
"This is task which the MeXicans must
accomplish for themselves. There are very
few cases in which foreign interference can
be beneficial, and in those few cases there
must be large and numerous party in the
country prepared to avail itself of foreign
aid
"I am concerned TO sag that I see no proof o.
the e1isteHce Of such party IN Merico.
"Her Majesty's Government, therefore
must confine their action to the clear and
legitimate purpose of demanding from the
de fdcto Government of Mexico, however
constituted, respect for the persons and prop
erty of British subjects and the fulfllment Of
recorded obligations.
81 have the honor to be, gentlemen, your
most obedient humble servant,
"RUSSELL.

Finlay, Hodgson & Bro. and Others"

"UNHAPPY RELATIONS. "A London cor
respondent says that "the unhappy relations
that exist between the Princess Royal OF
England and the husband selected for her
by the laws which regulate royal alliances,
idle to remain longer reticent on the subject.
IL is stated that the circumstance has occa-
stoned the liveliest concern in the most dis
tinguished household in the land, and that
no pains have been spared to make repre-
sentations in the quarter to which an appeal
might be supposed to have some weight
That royal alliances, as at present conducted,
should terminate unhappily, can not be mat
ter of surprise; bnt the Prince of Prussia,
from his youth and apparent frsnkness and
candor, gave promise of proving an excep-
tion to the general run of German Princes
in this respect"

NIGHT DISPATCH ES.

The Escape of Mason and SlIdelI Con-
firmed-VniuabIe Prize Captured -AnOth-
er COntrnband Vessel Expected TO Make
Successful Trip
New YORK, October 24.-A Key West
letter of the 2Oh reports the arrival at Car
denas, on the 10th, of the rebel steamer
Theodore, from Charleston, with the French
Consul and family and Messrs. Mason and
Slidell, Commissioners to France and Eng
land.
The steamer SalUor, from Havana, with
contraband goods, was captured on entering
Tampa Bay, by the Keystone State, and
towed TO Key West. Her cargo is said to
have consisted of six hundred pistols, half a
million percussion caps, six hundred dozen
hats, eight cases shoes, four hundred thou
sand cigars, and four hundred bags coffee.
Captain Scott refused to give his prize up to
the United States Marshal for adjudication,
and to obey the order of the United States
Court, and sailed with his prize to New
York.
Consul Savage sent intelligence to Major
French of the sailing of the SAILOR from
Havana, and also that another vessel loading
with arms and munitions would leave on
the 18th. There being no naval vessel at
Key West, she will undoubtedly slip into
Tampa, which is not now blockaded.

A Pirate on the POtOmac-She Fires on
Land TFOOps-Habens Corpus Suspended
in the District.

WASHINGTON, October 24.-It is now I'M
deTstood the rebel steamer Pdigo, which has
been confined in Acquia Greek, is now on
the river. She was protected all summer by
the guns of Acquia Creek batteries. She is
at present cruising between that place and
Shepard Point to pick up what stray trans
ports she may find.
The President has at last suspended the
writ of habeaS corpus for the District of Co.
lumbia. The judges and lawyers have made
themselves so troublesome with their officious
interference with military affairs that this
has become necessary.
1t is supposed the rebel steamer Pdigo ran
out of Acquia Creek in the dark and fog
Tuesday night. She crossed over to the
Maryland side yesterday afternoon, and Cap
tain Parks with his glass could see that she
was crowded with men. She was observed
TO make only one trip. She is protected by
the rebel batteries The Pdigo, while on her
trip, fired three shells over to the Maryland
shore in the direction of the position of the
Third Regiment, Sickles's Brigade. Several
small boats have been observed crossing at
or near the same point. A schooner with
wood, which ran the blockade yesterday,
heard firing between the Island Belle and
Matthias Point batteries quite distinctly on
| Tuesday night.

More About the Attack on wilson's zOu.

NEW YORK, October 24.-The rebels finally
reached their boats, but the steamers were
over FIVE hundred yards from the beach, and
our men poured repeated volleys into the
crowded mass. Every bullet told, and by
The shouts and confusion Of the rebels it was
evident we had obtained ample satisfaction.
The Zouaves were badly managed, and
Colonel Wilson is very much censured for
inefficiency, not reaching the scene until all
was over. The officers and men lost almost
every thing. Major Newby had a narrow
escape from capture, being confined to his
bed by dangerous illness.
The regiment lost ten killed, sixteen
wounded and nine prisoners. The regulars
lost four killed, twenty wounded and ten
prisoners. -.-.
The rebels lost by their own statement
three hundred and fifty in killed, wounded
ard missing. We took thirty five prisoners,
including three doctors, who were released.

An enterptising publisher might make

been distorted into "umm," brought forcibly

terms of muskets are known as "howitzers."
Mess beef is "salt horse" coffee is "boiled
rye" vegetables are "cow teed,' and butter
"strong grease" "Bullyn is the highest
term OF commendation, while dissent is ex-
pressed in the remark, II don't see it," AL.
most every regiment has its nickname, aud
few officers or privates receive their legal
appellations OF titles when spoken OF in their

The Government continues to make the
most ample epTeparationsfor effeetually crush
ing the present rebellion. Twenty thousand
Sibley tents have been recently ordered,
which it is computed will furnish shelter for
an army of four hundred thousand men.
This, however, supposes close stowage,
which is not atall consistent with the reason
