The arrival of the Confederate steamer
Nashville, at Southampton, created quite an
excitement in mercantile and political circles.
She sailed from Savannah Ca, having run the
the blockade, and when near the English
coast encountered the American ship Harvey
Birch, from Havre, bound to New York
The Nashville brought this vessel to, removed
the officers, crew, and passengers, and set

as to the Nashville, which are discussed by
the English journals Some contend that it

and refit, though it is said the Federal war
steamer James Ad gar, was allowed the like
privilege a short time before in the same
port. Again it is cIaimed that the Nashville.
is not piiva'eer, nor a regular man of war,
and therefore committed an act of piracy
in burning the Harvey Birch. Leu, Pegram
the commander, announces that he holds
commission as Lieutenant in the c. S Navy,
and that the vessel was on special mission
to Europe. We have not seen the comments
of the English press on the Mason and
Slldell capture. 1t is believed in England
that Adgar proposed o,erhauling ore of the
mail steamers to find the persons just named.

INSPECTING SHARP SHooTERs.-Captain
VIM. Wilson Of the I24th regiment, who has
been appointed Inspector Of sharp shooters
in Northern Ohio, has been occupied for sew
ersl days past in inspecting Captain Barber's
company at Berea. There are over one
hundred men in the company. He has passed
sixty SO far and rejected only two. He viii
be occupied for several days yet in inspecting
the remainder of the company. The company
is mostly from Defiance and Williams coun-
ties with a sprinkIing Of crack shots from
other counties in Northern Ohio. But one
regiment of sharp shooters is to be raised in
the State. There viii be ten companies, 1O1
men in each company-same as infantry
The men are tested as follows: Each man is
allowed i've shots at rest, the target being
200 yards distant, and FIVE shots off hand, the
target 100 yards distant. In the former he
must average at the most 25 inches, in the
latter q inches. In shooting at rest the
smallest average was u inches and the larg-
est average 941< inches. The general aver
age of the company was IS inches. Captain
G. NJ. Barber, who commands the above com
pany of sharp shooters, was formerly Princi-
pal Of the Institute in Berea. He is said to
be a splendid shot. The company will re-
port at Camp Cleveland as soon as organized.
Captain squires has full company at ores-
line who will be inspected next. There is a
company nearly full at Toledo also, we are
informed.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Nov. II.
A correspondence of the Missouri Dem
ocrat says matters with the army Of the
frontier are statue quo. Preparations are
being made which indicate a demon
stration in some quarters before q great
while. The army has been somewhat re-
organized, andseYeral volunteer regiments
Of the new levy are added to the army in
exchange for Missouri state regiments,
which are to occupy towns in the State.-
This change is gratifying to all parties.
The enemy in Arkansas is reported to
be 10000 under Hindman and 5000 un-
der Holmes-the former near Ozark, the
latter near Little Rock. There are, how
ever, not to exceed LOO men in Little
Rock. The northern portion Of Arkansas,
whence we drove the rebels, is yet quiet
and undisturbed, except from small bands
of guerrillas. It is not likely the rebels
will again attempt to occupy that portion
Of the State.
General Blunt with the first division of
his army occupies Northwestern Kansas
and portion of the Indian Territory. He
is working salt mines there which are in
excellent order and yielding an abundant
supply. In this division are three or four
regiments of loyal Indians who have been
driven from their homes.
They make good soldiers, are willing,
long enduring and patient they go at all
times and oall places, ,.unquestioning and
with the utmost alacrity; have confidence
in their leaders and in the triumph of
their cause; are brave, generally good
marksmen and peculiarly adapted to skir-
mishing and woods fighting. General
Blunt reports the desertion of nearly all
the disloyal Indians, since the rout of
Cooper and Stand Waite, and says that
many are coming over to join his forces.

WATCH 1T is q startling cry when ut
tered from some lonely alley at the dead
hour of night, and the solitary passer-by who
hears it may be excusediR his heart thumps
faster than is its wont and his knees knock a
itremulous accompaniment to its beatings.-
The cry often denotes extreme danger, and
is sometimes the death shrek Of some hapless
victim to the mercilsss knife sr bludgeOn Of
the stealthy assassin.
tits shouted Justify by some outsider in a
street fight, and bawled from the doors of
brOthels when a party of q blazing boys "
come to demoIish the shanty.
The poet Spencer speaks of one who " kept
both watch and ward" The individual re-
ferred to might have been paWnBrOker. It
was bad enough to keep the watch, however
he ought to have given up the ward. We
know the fellows counterpart. He was
drunk, and not only kept the watch in fer
ment but he kept the whole ward in an up
roar. We frequently hear and read of per-
sons being con the watch - for something.-
The professional watch thief is the man of
whom i. may be most strictly said that he
is"on it."
The pocket ohFonometer, known as the
watch, Is very useful invention. It saves
the trouble Of carrying brass clock around

The ASSAULT ON GENERAL BnL.-In
the case Of Samuel W. Rove and J. W.
sohmitt, indicted for assault upon General
Horace Bill, with intent to murder, Rowe
yesterday afternoon plead guilty to simple
assault and was fined $s5 and costs. The
charge against Policeman schmitt was nOIl-
ed. The policemen publish the following
card:
WHERE'S, on the evening Of Sept. 18th,
1852, the undersigned, members of the City
Police, arrested Horace N. Bill Of this city,
and in so doing did beat and wound him, we
make the following statement;
Said arrest was made without disclosing
cur official character, under the mistaken i'm
preston that said Bill knew we were Police
men, and had previously on said evening
been unWarrantably interfering with the ar
rest Of other parties, to prevent and hinder
the same.
We have since been informed, and believe,
that so far from said Bill having committed
any offence for which he was liable to arrest,
on that evening, he was and had been con-
Quoting himself as a peaceabIe and quiet cit
izen, and any assertion to the contrary made
by US, or on our behalf, has been made under
drawn and disavoWed.
Previous to said arrest Of said Bill, one of
US, S. W. Rowe, had arrested in the vicinity
Of Ohio street, three disreputable characters,
who were drunk and disorderly, and was en-
deaEoring alone and unaided to take them
to the wateh-house. Some person followed
said Rowe from Ohio street to Prospect street,
endeavOring all the way to get one of the per-
sons so arrested away from said Rowe, and
finally at the junction Of Prospect and 0nta-
rio streets, one of them got away. We went
to arrest said woman, and the man we sup
posed got her away, and arrested said Bill,
supposing him to be the man who interfered
with said arrest. Had we not supposed that
the person that we were arresting was dan
gerous character, no injury would have been
inflicted.
We sincerely regret the injuries inflicted
upon General Bill, not only on his person
but to his good name, by attributing to him
under the aforesaid mistaken idea, the rep
rehensible acts committed by some otherper-
son to US as yetunknown.
