Awful Affair At Chicago.


From the Chicago Daily Democrat
A distressing affair occurred day be-
fore yesterday en- the west side of the
river, which has plunged three Of our
most respectable families into the greatest
distress and lconsternstion, and which
may ye: be productive of the most en-
barrassing difficulties. We, suppress lhe
real names of the sufferers at their ear
nest request. On the afternoon ef the
day named, Mrs. A. received visit from
two Of hsrlneighbors, Mrs. B. andC. Each
Of these ladies was the happy mother OF
little daug ughter, about six months old
The : brought their infants, With them
and at tea time, all three Of the, children
having fallen asleep, placed them on the
bed in Mrs. AS chamber, and went to
supper. Now, in the family Of Mrs. A.
are two young gentlemen boarders, who
have more desire for sport and mischie
than good sense. Coming home tc sup
| per these scapegraces chanced to pas.
the door Of Mrs. AS room, which wa!
open, and saw the three babies lying
asleep. ~ - '.''7 -
Actuated by the very spirit Of mischief
they set to work and actually changed tn,
clothing Of the three innocents, placing
the clothes of Mrs. AS baby upon Mrs
BIS baby, and those Of Mrs. BIS baby
upon Mrs. C.'s baby, and those Of Mrs
C.'s baby upon Mrs. A.'s baby. Tbi.
done they went to supper, ard enter
tanned the ladies with their witty conver
sation until the hour fer departure ar,
rived. It was then quite dark, and The
ladies each picked up TIE babe she sup.
posed to be her own, and left for home
The mistake was actually not discovered
until next morning-a and then there wa.
q scene of terrible CONSERVATION. TA.
mothers were almost frantic. The babie
all had light hair and blue eyes, ant
loo ked SO much alike that to distin guisl
: them was almost impossible. At lengtl
each mother took the child she though
was hers, aid went home, but too
) with her also the terrible doubt tha
perhaps she had got the wrong baby
The young men, on being referred to
could not tell in what manner they .ha,
changed the clothes. They were imme
diately requested to find another boardin
) house.

THE SITUATION OF AFFAIRS.


special messenger Of the government, who
arrived at Washington yesterday from Harper's
Ferry, reports that the evacuation of that post by
the rebels is by no means improbable, as the ad-
vance movements of the Pennsylvania aud Ohio
troops of Generals Patterson and McClelland who
are surrounding the Ferry, will soon make either
fight or retreat an imperative necessity. Some
fears were entertained that the rebels would move
down towards Washington, on the Maryland side,
either by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad or the
Potomac, and make an attack on the capital,
while Jefferson Davis advances on the same place
from Manassas Junction. butt is the opinion of mill
tary men that the rebels will not risk fight at
either place, but will make stand at Richnond
with the whole force. 1t j. evident, however, that
some active movement is OH foot among the
federal troops on the Virginia side of the Potomac

ammunition, ambuances, mules, horses and

to order an advance of the whole line until
General Patterson and General McClelland
have got far enough into Virginia, near Har-
pers Ferry to cooperate with them. At this
point forces are being accumulated with all pos
sibe speed. Four brigades are under orders to
press on to Hagerstewn, Md, one Of which
reached as fer as Greencastle yesterday, thiuteen
miles south of Chambersburg.
Reinforcements continue to arrive at Fortress
Monroe. Two or three transports filed with men
arrived there within the past two days
We give some very interesting particulars to-day
Of the fight of the Harriet Lane, under Captain
Faunce, with the rebel batteries at Pig Point, on
the James river. The firing on both sides was
most effective while it lastedthe rebels using four
inch rife balls which did considerable though not
serious. damage to the Harriet Lane.
The vote in Tennessee yesterday on the seces-
sion question, as far az heard FROM shows strongly
in favor of secession, and forcshadows the neces-
sity of that State being soon dealt with in the
same manner as Virginia.

EX-PREsDENT TyIER-It is reported that
the house of ex-President Tyler, near Old
Point Comfort, has been occupied by United
States troops. We suppose, however, that it is
only his sea shore summer cottage that has
been occupied as indicated, for his regular
residence, if we mistake not, is at Williams
burg, the old colonial capital Of Virginia, some
thirty miles above Old Point in the narrow
space between the James and York rivers.
Should our Union forces extend their circle Of
operations from Old Point so as to embrace
the ancient city of Williamsburg, we know
they viii respect the residence of John Tyler,
and all that is his, because he has filled the
Office Of President of the United States, and
with some credit, too, in clean record con-
corning the public funds and public property;
and because, as President of the last winters
Peace Conference at Washington, ne is entitled
70 a favorable consideration but, above all.
because he is now nothing more than private
citizen and non. combatant Mrs. Tyler, a
young, charming and aniable woman, is a
daughter OF our own State of New York; and
from this fact alone we are inclined to believe
that "Honest JOhn Tyler" would not weep
very bitterly over the dcwafals Of Jeff. Davis
