a secessionist Badly Sold.
Lrlcm the NewL Reafofd Mercnry.

From the Now BEDFORD Mercury.
A friend vouches for the truth of the
following "Soon after the battle Of
Antietam, a paroled rebel prisoner woun-
ded in that battle, and calling himself
Col. Preston Of Louisiana, appeared in
Baltimore. A name of such distinction
procured him attention at once, and he
was immediately taken into his family
by Col. Pix, an old resident and a
warm sympathizer with the rebels.
Col. Preston was treated with most dis
tinguished considerations, his wounds
carefully attended to, and all his wants
generously supplied. Indeed he was
greatly lionized, introduced to the club,
the envy of the men and idol of all the
secesh ladies, After, the lapse of few
weeks, Col. P--k, one day, learned
that Mr.. B., relative of his distin-
guished guest had arrived in the city.
He informed Col. Preston, who expressed
grrat joy at the intelligence, and begged
his host at once to invite Mr.. B. to his
house. This was done the same day,
and upon his arrival, Col. Preston, in his
chamber, was informed by the servant
of the facttG will make my toilet inn
mediately," said the colonel, "and wait
upon Mr.. OBJ But a long time elapsed,
longer than Col P--k thought the
most elaborate toilet required, and the
gallant Preston did not appear. The
servant was dispatched for him again,
when-it was discovered that the chiv-
alrous southerner had slipped of, taking
as souvenirs of his visit, Col. P-k's
gold-headed cane, and lady P--k's
diamond ring OF course, inquiries as
TO the Preston were pushed, and it was
soon ascertained that he was no Preston
at all, but a New Orleans barber, who
had given his entertainer certainly q
close shave" allt-i

We are happy TO notice the arrival
n the city of Mr.. CHARLES II. GREEN,
gent for the collection of claims
,gainst the Government. Mr., GREEN has
ust returned from Washington City,
where he has been on business connected
With his Office; and he was, we believe, very
iuccessful in collecting claims against the
Government. He has facilities for the
lrompt prosecution and collection OF
laims, possessed by no other agency in
he State, and his connection with the
National Claim Agency" Of Washington
lily, enables him to prosecute his claims
without delay.
Persons having claims against the
government will consult their own inter

ection and settlement.

~ Among the cheering signs of the times
is the announcement that more than two mil
lions of dollars were received from customs
last week. Thus, in the midst of war, COM
nerce remains not only in an uninterrupted but
in a f1ourishing condition. The exports during
the last year were, as is we'll known unusually
large; and now the influx Of foreign commo-
dities is sufficient to yield a very handsome
revenue. 1t was one of the favorite fallacies
of the Southern statesmen that nearly the
whole foreign trade of the country was found
ed on the productions and the consumption of
the South-an idea very completely exploded
by the receipts referred to above, at time
when trade with most of the slave States is
suspended, and by the enormous list of weekly
exports from New York and other Northern
ports. 1t would be curious to see statement
of the receipts Of the "Southern Confederacy''
from the Secession tariff that was ostentatious
ly established some months ago.. 1t is doubt
full whether single rebel custom house has
collected enough to pay the expenses of sus-
tanning it, which were authorized while the
authority of the Union was acknowledged,
Notwithstanding the assertion of MASON, Sill
DELL, YANCEY & Co., that our blockade is in
effective, and the shallow pretence that the
South formerly consumed the chief portion OF
the foreign exports of the country.

in the large parlor whers Is. Sum.
4 ner and Imogene were sitfsn
i The evening mail had Drought .
! package of letters, and oFer the con.
tents of one Imogene fingered with
evident satisfaction. lt was from
Madge Harcourt, a schop friend OF
Imogene's, who had writfen 10 an
nounce her intention OF paasing q few
weeks with her darling Genie before
her marriage.
"Two seasons of belledom in New
Orleans she wrote, g have wearieti
me OF gayety and fashion this giddy
brain of mine must havh rest and
quiet, and Beechwood. s. the very
lplace for me to obtain So. + have
much to tell You when wasaeet, until
then, goodbye.
Your OWN MApeE."
Dear Madge, affectionate and
warm-hearted as ever she was the
gayest; liveliest girl in school. All
the petting of her old father could
never spoil her sunny nature, and now
as the reigning belle of New Orleans,
she is still enthusiastic, loving Madge
Harcourt."
Il trust her visit may enliven you
my child. 1t grieves me to see your
cheek daily becoming paler, and your
slight form every day growing more
fragil. Colonel Marchmont must be
prevailed upon to relinquish his claim.
" 1t is useless, MOTHER" returned
Imogene, passively.
:" He was to be here on the seven
teenth and it wants but week of that
period now. You are an invalid, weak
and enfeebled; l cannot see you de-
prived of the comforts and luxuries to
which you have always been accus-
toned.
6 Forget, dear mother, that ought
but happiness awaits me-"
Mrs. Sumner sighed, and queru-
lous look shot into her hollow eyes
Imogene saw it, and endeavored to
soothe the weary invalid, and assisting
her to her chamber she watched by
her side until she was wrapped in
slumber.
AS she returned to the parlor, a
delicate perfume Of magnolia saluted
her, and there was a slight rustic of
silk behind the damask curtain. Step
ping quickly forward she threw back
the folds, and a. handsome, brilliant
looking girl sprang laughinyly from
the recess.
" Madge!"
"Genie !"
What a surprise!
And the two girls embraced warmly.
s'Just like one of your odd fancies,
Madge; l remember at school you
we're always doing things different
rom any one else. You are as full of
as ever, and ten times more
beautiful" said I1nogene, gazing ad-
into the brilliant face beside .
