Demiiohn Torpedoes.

1t appears, according to the letter of q
correspondent, who gives an account O.
the blowing up of the Cairo, heretofore
mentioned, that the torpedoes were made
of ten gallon demijohns filed with pow
der, and so anchored that they were
about four feet under water. They are
discharged by means of ordinary friction
primers attached TO cords designed to
come in contact with ascending boats
They contain no machinery whatever, to-
tally differing from the complicated and
useless inventions sunk near forts Henry
and Donelson. and above Columbus. This
is the first instance in the war in which a
boat has been injured by a torpedo. The
means used in the present instance were
as simple as they were etfectual.
The force of the explosion threw up a
huge column of water thoroughly drench-
ed the men in the immediate vicinity
A hole of considerable extent was made
in the bow, the planks being loosened
torn apart, so as to admit the water
at a rapid rate. Tho entire boat was
shaken from stem to stern, and her bow
was lifted so high in the air that the wa
TEL. swept over the portion of the stern
aft OF the casemate.

What a Single Shell Did.

In noticing the death of Gen. 7. R. R.
Cobb of the rebel army at the battle Of
Fredericksburg, the Richmond DispateA
says:
A group of officers, consisting of Gen.
Cobb, his Adjutant, Captain Herring,
Gen. Cook and his Adjutant, Capt. Butler
and Capt. Brewster, were standing in the
telegraph road, near the scene of action,
when a shell exploded in their midst, a
piece of which struck Gen. Cobb on the
thigh, the same piece also struck Gen.
Cook on the left temple, fracturing his
skull By the same explosion Captain
Brewster was badly wounded, just above
the knee, and Capt. Herring seriously in
the hip. Gen. Cobb, on being struck,
asked for a tourniquet. A silk
handkerchief was made to serve the pur-
pose so far as possible, but to little avail.
He was led from the field, and all the aid
rendered that medical skill could devise,
but in vain. He expired in a few hours.

The Amenities of War.

From the letter of a New Orleans cor.
respondent We learn that Mrs. Beaure.
gard is now lying at the point of death in
that city, and that Gen. Butler has sent a
polite note to Gen. Beauregard, of the
rebel army, inviting him to visit his dy-
ing wife, and promising him respectful
treatment and a safe passage through our
lines and back to his command. A sim
gle noble act of courtesy like this smoothes
the rude front of frowning war, and re-
lieves W the dreadful horrors of a civil
conflict. 1t will be remembered that
Gen. Butler invited Mrs. Beauregard to
remain in New Orleans when the city
was captured by our forces, and that in
spite of her connection with the rebel lea
ders and sympathy with the rebel cause.
Gen. Butler has so well protected his
enemy's wife that even the rebel news
papers have had no complaints, real or
pretended, 10 utter upon the subject.
as the present incident does.

attract general attention both in this

A SOLDIER AT CAMP CLEVELAND STAB
BED.-0n Saturday night an attempt was
made by soldiers confined in the guard
house at Camp Cleveland, to break out
and escape. There we're about twenty
five in the guard house, members of vari-
GUS regiments, and some of them paroled
prisoners. They had previously cut one
of the boards in the rear so hat by push
ing it off al aperture would be formed
sufficient to pass a man. They chose IN
unlucky time to get out. for . sentry
CHANGED TO be passing. The first man
came out received the sentry's bayonet
through both cheeks, and the second man
received the butt end of the sentry's
musket over the forehead, cutting an ugly
cash. The relief guard was called and
the mutinous prisoners secured. The
man who was stabbed belonged to the
10th Cavalry. That sentry deserves pro-
motion for prompt discharge of his duty.

employed for one hundred and sixty-eight
days, for which $l65, 900 were paid, and
the vessel returned to the owners. Thus
the government has been mulcted in pay

Even the registered enemies were sorry

order and security to the city. b.
On the 10th Butler and Banks met at
headquarters. Butler welcomed Banks
to the Department of the Gulf, and as
sured him he would find here troops who
were ready to yield cheerful obedience to
every order.
Banks responded hat the only pleas
ure he had in taking command was in
obeying an order of the Government of
the United States.
Butler addressed his staff requesting
each member to take pains to enlighten
and assist their successors. He spoke in
the most generous N of Gen. Banks
and staff.
Gen. Buffers parting address to the
troops bears date the 18th, alluding in
eloquent terms to their successes in the
field, and in restoring order and quiet 10

what the Rebels think Of Slavery.

For the benefit of those fshy patriots
who get into Mysteries every time a negro
escapes from Slavery, We quote here the
Richmopd Eraaiaeris reason why the
South ran stand the war longer han the
North:
"At the South the heavy labor of tile
country goes on, in spite Of the. drain Of
the young white men for the war. That
iseer was always sufficient TO provide
bread and labor for the population, be-
side performing much of the work of
clothing, sheitering, and otherwise provi-
ding for the people. Except in districts
'overrun by the enemy, this labor system
is still intact and organized, performing
All its usual Offices for society. The ia
paiSes of the North used to denounce
q young men of the South for idleness
and prideS but if they did nothing be-
fore, these yeuagr en- fight now and if
were idle before the war, their employ
ment in the. army does Ros decrease the

The lo5th-Col. Hall, &c.

The following is an extract from a pri.
vate letter from Henry Adams, Brigade
Commissary, 33d Brigade, to his brother
c. A. Adams.
HEAD QUARTERS SD, BRIGADE,
18TH DIVISION ARMY OF THE CUABER-
LAND. BLEDsoEs CREEK, Dec. 23d '62.
Dear Brother Thinking you woulC
like to hear how am pleased with sol
diering, and how Col. Hall and Brigade
are getting along, | will give you a brie
account of matters and things generally
down here. Bledsoes Creek is about sew
en- miles from Gallatin Tenn, and about
thirty-two miles from Nashville. The
ground upon which we are encamped, and
its surroundings, are beautiful. Nature
has done much tomake a strong place fol-
defence. On the west side of the Camp
there is a deep ravine. the banks being al
most perpendicular, so that it would be
almost, in fact it would be quite impossi.
BILE for the enemy to make a charge OF
any kind from that direction. On the
north and west side is a high stone wall,
making a splendid place for our men to
shield themselves when firing, the fence
is just high enough for them to fire over,
thus sheltering all but the head and
shoulders.
The SD Brigade is composed of the
I05th Ohio, l23d and SOth Illinois, Tooth
Indiana and 18th Indiana Battery. The
End Battalion of the End Michigan Cav
airy has been with this Brigade until this
morning, when it was ordered to Num-
louisville.
wish here to speak of Col. Hall, who
in my opinion is agentleman, and a brave
officer. All the men whom l have spok-
en- to about him, speak in the highest
terms of the Colonel. Many who at first
thought him severe, now that they know
he was not to blame for the hard march
es and privations they at first had to en-
dure, say they like him very much, and
that he is always kind to them. Major
Perkins is well, and looking better than 1
ever before saw him. He is spoken of
very highly, also Lieut.. Col. Tolles, l am
very much pleased with. The brigade
surgeon, N. C. Fowler occupies the same
tent with Osborn and myself, and is as
fine a fellow as one wonld wish to meet
I saw Fitch Adams of Liberty, to-day /;
he is a member of the l05th and is very
well, Bushnell and Forbes are also very
well, Ewalt and Kelly are fat, soldering
