The following is an interesting extract
OF letter from Winchester, ", lately
occupied by our troops:
"Winchester is a city Of 5000 inhabi-
tants, the metropolis Of this section of the
State, and famous as the residence Of one
James M. Mason. In the heart of the
Valley of the Shenandoah, one of the
finest positions OF Virginia, it should be a
first class city. Yankee thrift would have
gathered 10000 inhabitants, and made
the country around blossom as a garden oi
roses-that ardor OF thrift has not been
here, and this city is Insignificant, and The
country does not blossom. The money
in circulation is corporation shinp.asters-
nothing else. Buy the most trifing ar
ticle, you pay ten cents, and get bits OF
printing paper in change. Confederate

Government, are not current, and even
the Secessionists will not touch them.---

Running a Block ade.

During the war OF 1919, when the En-
glish fleet kept watch over our ports, for
fear that vessels should enter and depart,
a rusty looking schooner, filed with silks
and wines, loaded at French port, was
overhauled by British brig-of-war, and
hailed:
Schooner ahoy! Who commands
that schooner ?" ..F
"Brother Jonathan used tew, but l do
now," was the answer.
"Brother Johnathan Who is Brother
Jonathan ?" ..
"Why, you must be..a darned fool, not
to know Brother Jonathan everybody in
town knows him."
"Send yonr boat on board"
al don't know whether shall or not
for the boats all soggy, and / haint got
new clothes. Brother Jonathan's got
new coat; if he's mind to go he may,
but I'm sure shan't."
"Strike -
"Slrke whoe haint got nobody to
strike but dad, he's cooking and is crazy.
and il l strike him, he'll strike right back
again-so its no use."
"What are you loaded with ?''
"Bale goods, and hens, and hens
husbands. hob.goblins and long-faced
gentry"
"Where are you bound 10 %
"Sto-ning- -taown."
An officer from the brig went on board
10 examine the cargo.
"Where's your bale goods 2" he
asked.
"There they be-" pointing to some
bondles of clapboards and shingles.
"You confounded fool, do you call them
bale goods ?"
"Why, sartm Don't you %
"Where's your hens, and hens hus-
bands ?"
"There they be in that coop there"
"Where's your hob-goblins ?"
"There they be in that to:her great
coop there"
"Where's your long-faced gentry ?"
"There they be, in that ere pig sly"
"Have you go: anything to drink on
board ?"
"We had some rum when we came
away, but the kegs way down under the
lead and if you try you can't get it, SO
it's no use."
The British officer having received but
little satisfaction, took all the live stock
and left the schooner heading for Stoning-
ton, having no use for the craft and caring
but little Tor clapboards and shingles
A few days afterwards the schooner ar
rived in port and sold the cargo at large
profit.

Mortality in the Army.

In our issue Of Thursday, (2Oth inst. }
we give the number Of deaths officially
returned to the Surgeon General during
each quarter of the year 1861. 1t was
also stated that these were the deaths in
257 regiments. It would be wrong. how
ever, TO infer that the deaths so reported
comprised all that had occurred in year
in 257 regiments, many Of these regiments
having been but few months in the serv-
ice. Only the deaths of the last quarter
Of the year can be considered as EN-.
bracing all occurring in those regiments,
the deaths given for the preceding quar-
ters having occurred in a much smaller
number Of regiments.
From these data it would appear that
in each OF the regiments represented there
were, during the last quarter of 1861, on
an average Of twelve deaths, or a monthly
average OF four deaths TO each regiment.
If we limit ourselves to five hundred
regiments as the entire number in the
field, then, according to these official data,
the number Of deaths in the army for each
month Of the last quarIer-year must have
been two thousand. These rates, how.
ever. should perhaps be somewha: re.
duced, on account of deaths occurring in
general hospitals from other regiments,
and included in the returns for The quar-
ter. II the number of regiments in the
service was during that period not less
than six hundred and sixty, as would ap'
pear from Secretary Cameron's figures in
his late annual report, the monthly mum
ber Of deaths, estimates at the above rate
would be 2,640.-Nat. Intsiligsncer.
