One peculiariiy, in the "goOd society,"

wine imbibed at dinners. and The entire
avoidance OF "small talk about the age,

various wines are served and drank moder.
ately, without remark. A glass of pale
sherry, after SOUP one or two glasses Of
champagne with the meat courses, glass
Of claret or hook with the dessert. and a
glass of MADEIRA or Port after the removal
of the cloth. Is the extent of wine drinking,

n Fourth in wheeling and vtOini-

-. We. present to our readers this morning
a summary of the doings and sayings on
the Fourth in the city and vicinity. 1t is
not too much to say that our last anniyer-
,sary was in all respects one of the best
i, kept Fourth of Julys within the memory
4. of our oldest Inhabitants. 1t was more
generally observed than any other one that
we remember. Nearly every store and
& shoplin town was closed and the day in all
respects save the noise that was made, re-
sembled Sunday. The streets were
througed from early morning till late at
night, and men, women and children
seemed to have given themselves up to
day of enjoyment. This was to the honor
of our city aud neighborhood especially
was it SO under the circumstances amidst
which the Fourth came to US this year.
We had gloomy news, and our anxieties
were all excited for fear of still more gloomy
news We had been disappointed in not
hearing OF our army being in Richmond as
we all bad been led to expect. Yet notwith-
standing the untoward circumstances our
d people did foil honor to the day, and no one
would have ever suspected that oor great
army of the Potomac had met with re-
, verse. Their love for the old flag aud all
its glorious memories seemed rather to be
heightened and made more devoted on &C
count of the perils which threatened it,
and its noble folds were to be seen float
ing from almost every window and every
house top in the city. No one talked de-
spondingly but all seemed full of faith and
hope, and determined that come veal or
woe they would never give over their love
for the memories of the Fourth, nor ever
cease to claim its flag as their flag, nor its
government as theirs.
We note these manifestations with the
deepest qualification. 1t may serve to show
to the country how truly devoted and loyal
our people are, aud to encourage those who
need encouragement. We do not believe
" that there was city in the United States
where the people more entirely entered in
to the spirit of the day, or cherished all its
hallowed associations with mere patriotic
attachment, than did the people of Wheel

The HuntsviIle RovelIIe.

The Union soldiers have established a
paper with this title at Huntsville, Ala
We have received copy of the first num-
Der, published June 10TH It's editorials
are piquant. 1t is neatly printed, and is
in every respect creditable to our men.
Among the items we notice the following:
a"lt affords us pleasure to chronicle the
safe arrival of Major General MitchePs
family. Lieutenant Ed. Mitchell, with a
detachment from Capt AbbOtt's splen-
did company of the Sd Ohio regiment,
under the command of Lieut.. Reed, was
their escort from Elk River Lieut.. Nit
chel reports the country perfectly quiet
around Pulaski, and thinks guerrilladom
about played out in that vicinity"
We are struck in reading Mitche's
general orders to see what pains he takes
to mention deserving privatcs and non
commissioned officers.
- The editors facctiousIy show up the
extravaganza dispatches of the southern
papers by description of the battle of
"Llegisba." The following extracts will
give an idea of it:
"The victory was complete Several
members of the 209th Rhode Island in
1antry report great dissatisfaction exis-
ting on account of the scarcity of money
and rations. Colonel Smith of the 9Sth
California regiment is prisoner. He
says cofederate scrip is anxiously looked
for. He purchased large amount, pay
ing for it in gold at par. Lincoln green
backs are at discount.
This is the greatest victory we have
had. We shall now be able to march
through all the western States, and raise
the stars and bars every where triumph

Woman
Cur SUrToN, July LIST, 1862.
Editors Inteittgenea:
Our usually quiet little camp was thrown
into ecstacies of amusing excitement yes
tefSlay, by the departure of some prison
ers. one of whom was dark eyed lass of
some eighteen summers, taken into Gus
tody charged with trying to gain informa-
ton of our forces for rebellious purposes;
said fairon being we'll calculated to reflect
credit on any combination of persons, hav-
ing in view the suppression of all chaste
aud elegant language, aud supporting the
free use of profane language, to the exclu-
sion aud entire abrogation of other terms.
Such is mild hint of what constituted
our prisoner. Her pedestrian feats, how
ever, cannot be equaled, and far exceeds
anything within the recollection of the
oldest inhabitant, or on the records of the
race track. .'
When the prisoners were all collected,
the guards ready, and the word of.com-
mand given to start, our prisoner of the
feminine persuasion Eaulted to her feet and
started at q 2:40 pace up town, cheered by
a vast multitude of citizens and soldiers
Coming to the pickets, she rather increased
her speed, and went by irrespective of their
calls to halt. However, feet and ener-
getic member of the guard, by a herculean
effort, finally succeeded in stopping her
some half mile from the starting point,
and with some difficulty detained her till
the less fleet members of the guard ar
rived. How they got along after that, We
are not prepared to say, but suppose they
will have much difficulty in managing one
so unruly and so remarkably feet footed.
