Having for some Is years past been

green for one year, if fclled in that month.

An UYseEMLY 0RGAN.-In a small
church at a little village near Brighton,
where the congregation could not afford to
pay an organist, they recently bought a
self-acting organ, a compact instrument,
well suited to the purpose, and constructed
to play forty different tunes. The sexton
had Instructions how to set it going, and
how to stop it; but unfortunately he forgot
the latter part of his business; end after
singing the first four verses of a hymn before
The sermon. the organ could not be Opel,
and it continued playing two verses more,
then, just as the clergyman completed the
words, 'let US pray" the organ clicked.
and started a fresh tune. The min
lister sat it out patiently, and then renewed
his introductory words, "let us pray"
when click went the organ again, and
started off on another tune. The sexton
and others continued their exertions to
find out the spring. but no man could put
a stop to it; so they got four of :he stout
est men III thr church to shoulder the
perverse instrument. and they carried it
out down the centre aisle the church. play
ing away. into the church yard. where it
continued clicking aud playing away until
the whole forty tunes were finished.

Tins has been called a fratricidal war

A Talk with Rebel Pickets.

NEAR RIcHNOND, June I, 1862.
Or pickets at the Mechaniesyiile bridge

picketS and. under a newspaper flag Of

for the Richmond Examiner. The colo
guy was substantially as follows:

while both parties had dropped their guns,
and with papers waving passed down to
the bridge.
Union-"fIow do you like soldering
Rebel-"We've enlisted for life"

R.bal-'F Fifty thousand right vera

Uuion-IIow many had you at Fair

Rebel-Yer had near two hundred
thousand AMI we but sixty thousand, but
we whipped yer"
The Unionist was less communicative
than inquisitive, but thinking it hardly
proper to continue the conversation, bade
the rebel good day, and rctraced his steps.
But the rebel still kept his place, notwirh-
standing he was requested to face back,
until IL bullet, and Il flash and quick re-
port, suddenly hastened his steps.

The MQuphi3 Appeal makes the

of Mcclellan = grand army in front

Of June:
We are enabled to publish to-day
the glorious intelligence that Me
Clellan'a army, wh1ch has 30 long
bosn threatening Richmond, Or at
least u large p'dtion Of it, las been
attacked by our Forces, routed and
driven i'd dottat milcs beyond rhc
ChicEahomipy givcr The conflict
commenced on the 2&th inst, DAY
before yesterday, and Was renewed
again yesterday morning, with re-
suits Of u still more successful char
actur. As but fow particulars ore
gwen, It is difficult 10 oSt,mate the
cxteut OF our victory, tor the num-
bor Of forces engaged in the fold,
hut victory it certainly was..---
Mention is made Of Gen. Jackson
(|ionewalD being present, no doubt
with a considerable portion Of his ar
my. which with his u.uaI celebrity Of
movement, he had thrown into
Richmond without tho knowledge
Of the onemy-;yjso that Longstrpet's
ana Hills divisions were engaged,
This would give al approximate es-
estimate Of between forty 9nd nifty
thousand men actually in the fight
on our si,fo, which is quite as large
proportion rs was engaged at ia
nasSas.
The moral effect Of this victory
which is another result Of the Con-
eralship of the bold and intrepid
Juckson-wili be most brneticiai,--
1t will shake beyond rctricvement
the fictitious reputation of that tre-
mcndous humbug and beasting brag
gart, Mcclellan, who thrice whipped
before since bis occupation of the
Peninsula, has thrice shamelessly
lied to save his ne k from the gull
lotin. His northern friends will be
pazzled to know if this is the fulfill
ment of his late gasconading prom
ise TO "push the rebels to the wall"
