ANOTHER FLUTTER AMONG SEoEsH EEATH-
ERs.-About the time the United States au-
thoIities were most vigorous and demoustra-
tivesmopg the 'Secesh" in this city, some of
the conscience smitten of that ilk betook
themselves TO parts unknown, or kept them
selves in secure concesment, and it is only
quite recently that they have ventured to
show themselves in public. AS an instance
in point a well-known "Secesher," who
does business on Madison. street, returned
yesterday from a distant county, where he
has been residing since the commencement
of the troublesome times referred to above;
but scarcely had he greet ed bis family when
Unite States official made his appearance,
snd requested few moments private con-
veTsatiop.
Mons. Secesh looked aghast and cast long
ing glsnces at the door, nor was his perturba-
tion It all allayed by the sight of an official
document produced from the coat pocket Of
the officer. That person, too, as if aware OF
bis misery, signifed his business (Which was
merely TO summon him as a witness before
the Federal Court) in such an ambiguous
manner, that poor Secesh was seized with q
mortal terror-so great that large drops o.
sweat stood upon his brow, while his knee;
snote together, and it was with difficulty
that he could keep his feet.
After, perhaps, enjoying the scene for 6
few minutes, the official put an end to it by
clearly stating his business, and left the vic
tin Of his own terror TO calm his perturbeC
spirit as best be could.

SMALL PoTAToEs.-A few weeks ago the
Union Club of Newport undertook, through
voluntary subscriptions, 10 relieve the wants
Of the INDECENT families of volunteers resd
ipg in that city who had joined our armies.
To the appeal for assistance most generous
and patriotic response has been made in both
town and country. Among the donations
made in the country were wood, vegetables,
&c, which, to reach the city, has to be
transported over the Newport and Alexan-
dria Turnpike from various distances along
its route. The committee having this part
of the business in charge made application
TO the Board of Directors of the pike for a
remission of tolls on such property, in order
that every thing donated might reach the OBJ.
ects for which the benevolence was intended;
but, much to their surprise, and the surprise
of all others acquainted with the facts, their
application was met by point-blank refusal.
Thus, while the nation was struggling for its
very existence, while Kentucky was be-
ing invaded and overrun by bands oil
ruthless and barbsrous enemies, and
every patriot was striving by all means in
bis power to swell our army of defense;
while railroads and steamboats, were
transporting property without charge, and
individuals were bestowing their money aud
time without consideration or reward, to
save the wives and little ones of our brave
and noble defenders from cold and hunger,
tnis insignificant corporation, which lives
only through public favor, and dourishe:
only under order and good government
managed, by Board of Directors as soullesS
as itself, to throw itself upon its chartered
power, and, Shylock-like, demands the last
pound of flesh, though torn from the bleed.

this matter. For, whatever professions o

may be cloaked under an assumption of pa

CHEvALIERs DIHDUsTRIR.-0ur city seems
to be filed with burglars and pickpockets.
Scarcely day passes but we chronicle the
loss of porte monRdie, or q burglary. On
Thursday morning last, a lady named Ben
nett, residing on Everett street was relieved
OF all The money she had then in her posses
sion, in Sixth-street market. Yesterday,
Mrs Jameson, living in the Second Ward,
wss relieved of $l3 in Fifth. street market,
snd this morning an elderly lady named
Wilson, residing in Fulton, had her pocket
picked of $4 80 in Lower-market We gave
few days since the moduS OpsrGRdi thieves
have adopted, and cautioned the ladies to
beware of their pocket-books bile in market.
Experience is frequently dear lesson, and
these who are careless, or will not be admon-
isbe0, must abide the result.

dispose OF these petty thieves as they ought
10 be dealt with, when brought before him,

| His Honor in power, "pulled" every offender
they could lay their hands on. The only
wey to relieve our city from pickpocketS is
| to arrest them whenever found, and give
them four or Elk months on the chain gang.
| If after the expiration of tbs sentence they
| still hang around, rearrest them aud repeat
the dose. This, we think, will have the de-

MILITARY MATTERs.-John Hunt, Esq =,
Sutler to the Fifth Ohio, arrived last evening
from Romney. He looks remarkably healthy,
notwithstanding the outlapdish portion of
the country his regiment IS now located.
He starts in few days, and will take all
letters and packages left for the Fifth, Fourth
and Eighth Ohio Regiments and the Seventh
Virginia.
Captain Hunter, of the Forty. seventh Ohio,
is about starting for the Kanawha, and will
take all letters left for that regiment at the
Press Office.
Some fifty of the Tenth Ohio are now in
the city, awaiting transportation to Louis
vile, whero the regiment is encamped. And
several of tho Thirteenth and Sixth are also
in the city, apxiously awaiting transporta-
tion to their respective regiments now in the
vicinity of Louisville. 1t would be well, we
think, for the officers of their respective regi-
ments now in town to see that the men get
off this evening on the steamboat Henry
Ftghagh, which starts at four o'clock for st.
Louis. If the men are detained here until
to morrow they will be arrested as deserteTa
and tried by court-martial, the result of
which in time of war is death.

Tho States Of the American Union eau not
but view the presence Of the troops of France,
England and spain ON the continent Of North
America with feelings of morti6,a cation and dis
trust England, SO long lectured with the
Monroe doctrine, and Spain, whose fairest pos
session in the new world America has so long
looked on as about to become her own, have
announced their intention of doing themselves
justice by an armed Intervention, without seek
ing the appreciation of the United States. 1t
is true that the convention reserves to the Uni
ted S a'es the liberty Of joining with the three
European powers, and that sort of apology is
offered for this course by the suggestion that
if the convention were not Immediately con-
cluded its objects might fail through delay.
Still it can hardly be conceived that, torn by
intestine disorders, and wasting in mutual de.
stIuction that strength which was consolidated
in support Of their foreign policy, the United
States occupy q less important position than in
the days of their union and Of their strength.
No uDgenercus advantage has been or will be
taken Of this, but it Is impossible not to feel
that great nation is seekiDg to efflce itself,
and that considering the shortness of the time
which has elapsed, and the small amount of
bloodsbed which it has undergone, its endeav-
ors have been crowned with very considerable
amount of success.

REASONING OF A ADoG.-Extraordinary as
the following anecdote may appear to some
persons, it is strictly true, aud shows the
sense, and, am strongly inclined to add,
reason of the Newfoundland dog A friend
of mine, while shooting wild fowl with his
brother, was attended by ssgacious dog OF
this breed. In getting near some reeds, by
the side Of river, they threw down their
hats and crept to the edge Of the water,
where they fred ct some birds. They soon
afterwaTd sent the dog TO bring their hats
one of which was smaller than the other.
After several attempts TO bring them both
together in his mouth, the dog at last placed
the smaller hat in the larger one, pressed II
down with his foot and thus was able to
bring them both at the same time.-yssss'

ADJUSTMENTS.

PIKE's OPERA HoUsE.-This is thelast night
of the popular tragedian, Mr.. Neafe, who
will appear as damon" in Banim's cele-
brated play of Damon and Pythias. The cast
is strong one, Mr.. J. H. Taylor as
Pythias." Mr.. Neafe will also appear as
"William," in Douglas Jerrold's beautiful
domestic drama of Black eyed Susan Both
pieces are cast with the full strength of this
uurivaled company. Much credit is due to
Mr.. Fenno, the stage manager of the Opera
house, for his great efficiency in placing ev-
cry piece upon the stage, since the COM
mencement of the season, in a most praise
worthy manner. The same is also due to
each and every member of the company for
the pains they have taken, not only in the
rendition of their parts, but in the superb
style they have dressed them. We ask the
public if they will allow this magnificent
Temple of the Drama, with its splendid stock
company, to go unrewarded? We refer our
readers to the managers circular, which we
heartily iDdorse.
WooD's TBEATER-The Robbers.-To night
will be the last appearance of j. Wilkes
Booth for season. Upon this occasion he
will appear in Schillers master play, The
Robbers, as 'Charles de Moor" His repre-
sentstion of the Jew "Shylock" last evening
impressed US more favorably with his artistic
powers than any character he has yet
assumed. "Charles de Moor" we think,
will be rendered in good style. The FIrsi
Night a comic compound, completes the bill.
NATIONAL THEATER-Dan Rice The witty
Dan and piquaut Dr. Thayer-not Hayer, as
the types read yesterday were greeted last
night with another we'll filled house. They
are deserving of it, so are the troupe in gen.
