on Christmas. He says Price with 5000
men, had taken all the houses in Spring
field for his troops, turning women and
children into the streets. He had unload
ed his wagons, and was making prepara-
tions for long stay. The people of Ar
kansas refused to allow Price to enter that
State with any other troops than those
regularly enlisted in the Confederate SER
vice, and he bad only l,500 men enlisted
in that service. The country north Of
Springfield was full of men returning from
Prices army, who said If they we're per-
mitted 70 return home and take the oath
of allegiance, Price would be left with on

"HApPY New YEAR."--In view Of
the appalling troubles that aflict our be-
loved country, it seems almost . mockery
to pass the customary salutation Of the
New Year. There is something trivial
in the very notion of wishing or seeking
ordinary happiness in The midst Of our
heavy national and individual ealamities
And yet it is good to be cheerful. 1t il
good to encourage the heavy-hearted. 1t
is good to look on the bright side Of things,
and to make our best endeayors to dis
pense brightness and cheerfulness all
ro1nd US. Who will do it, or rather who
will fail to do it?

been received from Mr.. Seward, saving
that the American Government is ready
to guarantee every facility to neutrals
compatible with the rights of bellgerents,
and would give any satisfaction in case
Of the infraction of any rule that had been
adopted. This dispatch was dated be-
fore the Trent affair, but is considered
as showing the peaceful inclinations Of the
American Government. NJ Fould main
tanned the correctness OF his late report to
the Emperor, and said that it caused
rise in the public funds which would
have continued but for the apprehension
Of war between England aud America.

Cavalry Expedition.

Last week, Col Glover, with three
companies OF cavalry. marched to Shelby
vile, where some OF the county officers
were attempting to hold County Court,
without having taken the cath, prescribed
By the Convention.
The expedition reached the town on
Monday, and found large number Of Sc
cessionists gathered to force a court, as
they termed it, or in other words to assist,
by their presence, in holding court, in de-
iiance of the act Of the Stale Convention.
The expedition was conducted with SO
much CELEBRITY and secrecy that the rebels
were not apprised of Col. Glover's APP
proach until the town was completely sur
rounded. The oath of allegiance was adj
ministered to about 200 persons, who were
permitted to return TO their homes unmo-
Tested. Twenty prisoners were captured
and brought to this city, among whom
were Dickinson, the Sheriff, Ennis, the
ex Sheriff, and several others, we'll known
secessionists.
The Rev. w. A. Mathew, the presiding
elder Of the Nj. E. Church, South, and the
Rev. Mr. II. II. Tilford. Baptist minis
ter, gave their parol of honor to report
themselves the next morning, but they

has reached a higher elevation than had ever
before been attained. On recent trip he as
ccnded to hight of five miles and three quar-
tiers (30,360 feet.) Approaching that point, he
observes, the corrected barometer read los

In my book. Reading was at this time about

MISCELLANY.
An Affair of Honor.

Bob johnson. who keeps fashionable bar
ber's shop on Cambridge street, and Sam Jack
son, who is in the pie and ice cream line, two
Of the shining lights in the bon ton circle of
negro aristocracy of this cty-men who have
but little respect for the niggers down South
and rather blame Charles Sumner for his at
tempts to procure emancipation and equality
had misunderstanding recently, at Il soirec,
caused by johnson paying extra attention to
the muatto charms of the female whom Jack
son is about to honor with his hand and name.
She is thoroughly acquainted with the PIE and
cream business, and will assist her husband al
ter the wedding and the usual tour-Chelsea
beach and back.
The misunderstanding between the two men
wasof so serious nature that jackson struck
his friend. and after the blow the negro aris-
tocracy shook their heads and saw no way in
which the affair could be adjusted without APP
peal to arms. In TACT Mr.. johnson intimated
as much when he left the party. He said:
- "Dat Niger has struck me on de nose. For
dat I'll hab his hearts blood. Ii 1 don't, d-n
me. I'll shoot 'em like a crow"
This energetic language being reported to
jackson. he was observed to smile. Ddt III the
same time his color changed until it resembled
one of his ice creams after a long journey
through coal hole. But he managed to say
that ne was ready for 'em any time and as
these words were reported to johnson chal
lenge was at once issued.
We cannot report all the f1rmalities which
We're gone through by the seconds and princi-
pals. 1t is enough to know that the men found
place where they could have crack at each
other, and that they arrived on the ground
with formidable looking pistols and after some
trouble were stationed, face To face, twenty
feet apart.
Yet neither man appeared perfectly satisfied
nor at ease, and each one mentally wished that
the police would make their appearance and
interfere. While they were in this frame of
mind Johnson's pistol was accidentally dis
charged. The principals and seconds jumped
more than rod, while Jackson shouted:
dat niger hab his shot now hab mne,"
aud shutting both eyes he blazed away, but
without effect
"Now," said the darkey, who had fired last,
e ~ Is satisfied, and will shake hands,"
81 is satisfied, too" said Mr.. johnson, laying
his hand on his heart. II believes dat was
struck under mistake
"Dat so' muttered the other, "Iblidn't know
dat it was you"
After such satisfactory apology the par
ties shook hands, and are now warmer friends
than ever. Both are called men of spirit, and
are looking for military laurels. Perhaps they
will find them.
