Gen. Foster had left Newbern with some

men, surrounded some three thousand rebels
about one half of whom were cavalry,
The "Rebs" wished to make terms, but
Gen. Foster was obdurate, and demanded

The above ridiculous report sent off
by a sensation correspondent at For

the gunboat Delaware, very great in
Justice. Capt. Foster never made any
such statement as is attributed to him
by this lying reporter. The Captain
is a truth-telling gentleman, and man

absurd a rumor BY those who know

WOMAN.

Place her among flowers, foster her
as tender plant, and she is thing
of fancy waywardness and sometimes
folly annoyed by dew drop, fretted
by the touch of a butterfly's wing, and
ready to feint at the rustic of beetle;
the zephyrs are too rough, the showers
too heavy, and she is overpo wered by
the perfume of a rose bud. But let real
calamity come, rouse her affections, en-.
kindle the fires of her heart, and mark
her then; how her heart strengthens
itself-how strong is her purpose
Place her in the heat of battle-give
her child, bird--anything she loves
or pites, to protect-and see her in a
relative instance, lifting her white arms
as shield, as her own blood crimsons
her upturned forehead, praying for life
to protect the helpless.
Transplant her in the dark places of
earth, call forth her enegies TO action
and her breath becomes healing, her
presence blessing.-She disputes, inch
by inch, the stride of the stalking pes.
thence when man, the strong and brave
pale and affrighted, shrihks away
Misfortune haunts her not; she wears
away life of silent endurance, and
goes forward with less timidity than to
her bridal. In prosperity she is bud
full of oders, waiting but for the winds
of adversely to scatter them abroad
pure gold, valuable, but untried in the
furnace. In snort, woman is miracle
a mystery, the centIe from which radi.
ates the great charm of existance.
