ss1ed herself and applied for warrant against another
woman who had called her out OF her name" The

She replied that i; enough and desired to know il it
was right for any person 10 call her -. "Oertain-
ly not" said the Mayor Dat do not 81! here to issue

the complainant walked of in huff.
The woman about whom she had been speaking then

Tar OLD FAIR GEoUSDs The proposition to erect

Grounds is not likely to with much favor from the
uzens Of the "wesl end" The CONSERVATION Of the
scheme would probably introduce element of hustle
aud ;umus in that quiet and suburban portion Of
the metropolis which would not be very agreeable, per-
haps to those VITO appreciate and srjoy their retired
residence. The rumble OF wagons and drsys, and vo-
alterations Of uegro-drysrs, would dspel the quetude
which prevails in the vicinity Of the Fair Grounds and
the streets leading thereto. There would be no rum

Late Erom PortRoyal.

The Worlds Port Royal correspondent
under date of Jan. 9TH, writes:
The advance to the mainland of Gen.
Sherman's brigade, and the battle at Port
Royal Ferry, of which l sent you an ac-
count, resulted in the fullest succe S.
About ten of our men were sligh tly
wounded, but none seriously. The rebels
were met on their own ground, when they
had every consideration of safety to the Sa-
vannah and Charleston Railroad, and even
TO Charleston itself, to induce them to op-
pose our progress with all their force; and
vet they have been driven back without
showing any remarkable amount of the
valor which they were so fond of assigning
to themselves. Their force, as we learned
from the negroes, was as large, if not lar
ger, than our own; and yet they did not
deem it prudent TO come out from under
the cover of the woods where they had
stationed themselves; and as soon as the
shells from our gunboats began 10 fall in
their vicinity; they vacated even that po-
sition. Our troops, after destroying the
rebel Notifications at Port Royal Ferry,
re-crossed the Coosaw river, with the ex-
ceptiou of the 47th New York Regiment
under Lieut.. Col. Frazier, and the 4Sth
TCoptinental Guard under Col. Perry,
which returned on the steamers to Hilton
Head. The gunboats arrived at Port Roy
al harbor two days ago, having been de-
tanned some b. the tides. Our troops will
not rest on this achievement: and, thou Oh
it is probably true that there is a large
force stationed inland, active operations
will be continued in that direction until
the railroad, and ultil Savannah, or both,
are iu our possession. The soldiers are
anxious and enthusiastic for the work, and
il is hoped that our Generals will not be
backward. Until such time there will be
very little to write to you, for we are ex-
pected to maintain entire silence in regard
TO all plans for the future. The troops
here are busy enough in perfecting the
place for their more comfortable occupancy.
Their health is tolerably good, and the
men have all that they need in the way of
food. The contrabands continue to come
in and are of much assistance in giving US
details of what is going on in secesh cir
cles on the mainland, where it would be
decidedly dangerous for Yankee mudsills
TO investigate, unless well armed and in
force. The negroes give US the best ac-
counts they can of the position and force
of the rebel troops, but their ideas are
sometimes rather misty, and produces a
good deal of confusion in the mind of any
one attempting to obtain accurate informa-
tion. Their zeal in earning money by
picking cotton does not tire and all that
can be gathered in the vicinity at present
in possession of the Federal forces will be
soon ready for shipment.

New Year. in Richmond.

81 Richmond must have been about as gay
as Washington on the lst, according TO
rebel accounts. JEFF. Davis had brilliant
reception, thus described by the Dispatch :
"There was a more general observance of
sEew Years than usual, owing to the fact
that the war has brought to Richmond r
considerable addition to cur population
from other cities where the anniversary is
always peri;,d of social festivity. The
streets were thronged with ladies, and ev-
erybody looked gay and cheerful. Among
tnotsbie events Of the day was the Presi-
dents reception, which commenced at IL
O'Clock and continued three hours. The
President stood at the door of the large
reception room, aud thousands of persons
took advantage of the opportunity to
give him a friendly grasp of the hand
Mrs. Davis was not present, but her place
was well supplied by her sister. Miss
Howell, Mrs. Colonel Davis and Mrs. Cen
