 - Lieut.. Worden, who in command of the Monitor, so gallantly fought the Merrimac, has been stopping in town few days with relative. He still bears the mark of that severe fight, but is improving and will probably entirely recover. Last Friday evening, Mir. A. s. Rogers, with his school of military cadets, paid him a visit and gave him salute. MT. Rogers delivered an ad. dress which was briefly responded to by Lieut.. Wordin, thanking them for the attention, and re. marking that he should soon again enter active duty. in which he hoped to do still more effective service. It is understood that the Lieut. is to command the new war steamer; Ironsides, now building at Philadelphia. .

It will be recollected that he was taken prisoner at Balls Bluff, and was released a short time since on pa role, until exchanged.

 sf es s4 s----e N.--------------sAk M .fa ANorHER stabbing case occurred at the State Prison o, Friday evening last. We gather from the con'ant the following particulars:, ;, nj o..
 Friday evening as the prisoners were about leaving the shoe shop a convict named Jones stabbed MT. Josiah Buck, one of the toverseers, with an old shoe khifs.ba He had secreted the knife in his handkerchief and afterwards sue eeeded in putting it into his hat, and as they were forming into line he ran at Mir. B. and stabbed him, inficting awound in the abdomen, and another in the hand,l going completely through that member. The wounds are danger ous, built is not possible to tell the result. The convict, 8 man of probably 35 years of age, was sent from fNorwalkl two years and five months ago. for three years, for stealing. He says he had been told by the shop waiter, convictnan ed Holland, that Buck intended to kill him, and thought he would hurt him so that he could not do SO. He is evidently trying to play the insane dodge, but is not likely to succeed. Jones has been confined in Q solitary cell to await the re suit of the injuries of Mr. Buck. He is consid- ersd by the warden and deputies as silly, weak minded man, but shrewd, and has never had any cause to make him attempt to take Mir. Bucks life. After committing the deed, Jones ran out into the yard, where he was secured by some of the eonvicts. ss., alat.7es '. .:. .ata
 MT. Buck was still living at the last accounts though in very precarious situation. He was kept under the influence of opiates and suffered no pain. Jones, the prisoner was still in solita- ry confinement, and will undergo examination as soon as the result of his victims injuries are as- certained. As yet, no cause can be found why he should have committed the deed. ,Is'..
 MT. Buck, the oversesr, stabbed by the con- vict Jones, is now reported as being in fair way to recover. @l,'
