CosT OF BoMBARDING.-A letter from Charles
ton to the N. O. Delta, gives the following item
of the expenses to be incurred in the seige OF
Sumter.
avery gun fired from Fort Sumter costs, on an
average, thirteen dollars. Every gun fired by the
State will be an average expenditure Of nine dol
lars A prominent officer of Fort Moultrie informs
me that, by close calculation, it has been ascer-
tanned that when its batteries open, the cost per
diem to the State at that fort alone, will exceed
$4,000 Pretty heavy, that. But this is the
surest way of mastering the FORT and we had better
spend money than lives in its acquisition

INTERNATIONAL DOG FIGHr.-A fight between
an American and Canadian dog took place in
Detroit on Monday last. The report of the Free
Press, says:
There was no need of special artist to portray
the scene, as everybody has dog fight on
the street-corners and this had no features beyond
that. They fought, growed, rolled and tumbled
and seemed disposed to keep up the amusement
indefinitely. The fortunes of either dog were
hailed with rapturous delight by the particular
adherents of that side. When America was up
permost shouts went up from the American side
and when Canada doomed into view Canada made
an uproar So it alternated until an obvious in
equality in the yelps and growls indicated an I'M
evenness in the contest Canada growed less and
yelped more 1t evident that Canada was
getting the worst of it, and, although speci-
mems of sympathy for the "bottom dog have been
heard of In pOesy otherwise, there none of
it there. Each canine had to stand on its own
merits, and, as Canada appeared to have merits,
it took principally to lying its back and fight
ing upward-a system OF tactics which excited
profound disgust in the minds of its friends.
Finally, he forfeited all claims their respect by
giving diretul yell aud stretching himself out on
the grass with air of perfect indifference to their
wishes. His antagonist amused himself by mas
ticatng such portions of his carcass as seemed to
his canine Judgment most in need of that interest
ing operation, until the referees decided that no
further chewing was necessary, when the sponge
was thrown up, and the battle decided in his favor.

OLD ABE's BETTER HALF.-The Cincinnati
Enquirer gives the following of the incidents
of the trip from indianapolis to Cincinnati, on the
train with MIR Lincoln and suite:
The following actually occurred, and we
think should be set down. a gentleman, one of
the suite, we believe, while passing through the
rear car, was addressed by the future mistress of
the White House as follows
Mrs. How do you 'fourish?'
Gentleman-Well, thank you
Mrs LIS that Cincinnati paper you have
in your hand?
Gentleman-Yes, (passing the journal to her. }
Mrs. L.-Does it say anything about as!
The manner in which these questions were pro-
pounded was more suggestive than the interroga
tories themselves. Imagine the successor Of the
accomplished Mrs. Madison, Mrs. Polk and Ilar-
ret Lane addressing foreign Minister with 'How
do you fourish!" The 'us" reminds us of an
anecdote of the wife Of an honest Dutchman, who
had unexpectedly been elevated to the position of
major of the militia. When the result of the cleo
ton was known, the children wanted to know if
they would not all be majors "No, you FOOLS"
Indignantly replied the mother, "none but your
daddie and me-"
