Amusing Incident in Hotel Life.

An amusing announcement occurred a
day or two since at one of our principal
hotels. We give the anecdote, suppress
ing the names: e.a
For some weeks past couple, sup
posed to be just married, have been much
remarked at the hotel from their extreme
ly youthful appearance The husband in
particular has attracted great attention
from his youth, small size, and delicate
frame. Observations have been heard on
all hands deploring the marriage of per-
sons so very young-a mere boy and girl,
apparently-and some curiosity has been
expressed as to who they were. sial.
On Saturday evening the husband-who
had been smoking his cigars, drinking his
cocktails, and swinging his cane with a
manly air that seemed much beyond his
years-was discovered to be woman.
It appears that she is a married lady, and
the mother of an infant some six months
old. Her health being poor, and her hus-
band thinking that change of air, would be-
beneficial to her, she started on travelling
tour, taking with her a young lady. friend,
The two ladies soon found it to be incon-s
venient to be without an escort, and the
married lady concluded to dress as a gem
tlelnan,. while her friend agreed to act the
part Of his bride. They, have, been obliged
to assume their former relations, and were
then arrested, but took their mishap very
coolly.-N. Y. Herald.

ssGOin, Permiscus.O
From the Cincinnati Commercial.

From the Cincinn a6 Commercial Eat.
During the time when Kirby Smith was
supposed to be beleaguering this city, the
colored population were in condition of
agitation not second in Inconsistencies
to that prevailing among white folks. An
incident took place at one of their "war
meetings" which should be recorded. The
ablebodied colored men were debating the
propriety of rendering their services to the
Government as volunteers for the war.
The prevailing impression had been that
they ought to do it, and their patriotic
emotions were at high African tempera-
ture. But before the vote was taken, a
tall, and very black fellow, produced a
sudden revulsion of feeling by delivering
himself as follows: t'I'm in favor of gOin,,
and will go in minute if we go permis.
Gus with white men. I'll tell you why I'm
for goin' permiscus. five go permiscus
we'll have fair play. But let 'em git 3
regiment all of niggers, and they put 'em
in de fore front of battle, and bote sides
kill every one of 'em. l say SO, sab, (rol-
ling his eyes around the audience), and
amt goin' that way, sah ! amt goin' a
step less go permiscus. No, sab. ;" And
the able and eloquent ethiopian subsidized,
and solemn sensational pause followed.
The eyes of the assembled darkeys snapped
white and wild at the idea that to 90 in
any other way than to go "perrniscus'
was certain death. And, as, they thought
the chances of 'sgoin' perniscuss were not
brilliant, the meeting adjourned without
taking action.

PRESIDENTTANA.

Correspondence of the N. Y. Times.
PRESIDENTIANA.
The President, to-day, expressed some
surprise that Governor Andrew of Massa-
chnsetts, should have refused the offer
made by General Dix, of sending the con-
traband people assembled at Fortress Mon
roe as immigrants to the Old Bay State.
Doubtless, the President thinks that while
the roads of Massachusetts are "black and
swarming" with the stalwart children of
the Puritans Fastening southwark to the
war, an immigration of that negro labor
which has heretofore compelled wealth
upon the South, would not be bad sub
stitute in the field-culture and coarser en-
ployments of the State. z.....
The President takes the result of the
New York elections quite philosophically,
and will, doubtless, profit by the lesson.
When Colonel Forney inquired of him how
he felt about New York, Mr.. Lincoln re-
Piled: Somewhat like that boy in Ken
lucky, who stubbed his toe while running
to see his sweetheart. The boy said he
was too big to cry, and far too badly hurt
to laugh"
COLLECTING THE INTERNAL REVENUE G.
, Upwards of seven thousand Collectors,
Deputy Collectors, Assessors and Assistant
Assessors are now engaged in the collec-
ton of internal revenue in the loyal states.
The amount of revenue derived from this
source was estimated by Congress at
$3.50, 0,000,0 900; but this sum, it is thought,
will be increased to 100000, 900, over
and above the expense of collection, which
is considerably less than that of collecting
$100, ,000, 900 in Custom revenue. This is
owing to the fact that Custom officers re-
ceiye yearly salary, while those engaged
in collecting the internal revenue receive
compensation only for the time they are
actually employed in it's collection.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN If THE REBELS

The London Daily Neus draws this
picture of the character of the South and
the probable consequences which would
follow its achievement: .oa34m9 -3aiy-
As far as England is concerned, we may
Judge from the past. Many people say, in
excuse for their state of mind about the
war, that they detest the Americans.
Very well and what does this meanP It
means an association Of ideas made up of
troubles about search of slaves at sea, and
brag about the Monroe doctrine, and
threats of Canada, and ISLANDERS about our
cruisers in the Gulf, and outrage on San
Juan, and the bullying ofthe General Har-
neys, and the sharp practice of cabinets at
Washington, and aggressions upon our
seamen in port, and universal rudeness to
our representatives in the states, and to
our government through American repre-
sentatives in England. All this with i'm
pressions Of filibustering, threats about
Cuba, an nnrepressed clandestine slave
trade, lynch law, marauding in, Kan
sas, brag about liberty together with
tar and feathers, cow-hiding, slave mar
kets, human stock breeding, and all the
rest Of it2these impressions combine to
make up the sentiment expressed 10y the
avowal, 81 detest the Americans But
for every element of this impression con-

sharpshooters at Antietam.

We find the following in the Toledo
Commercial, by one who was at Antietam
The uniform worn by the Federal Off
GERS renders the wearer, even when afoot,
conspicuous at long rifle range; and the
loss of more than half the officers of Kim
balls brigade that went into the battle of
Antietam, shows that the enemy's sharp
shooters made use of this fact to pick them
off. Just before the 7th Virginia volun-
teers reached the crest of the mill behind
which the enemy were lying in force, Maj.
Lockwood, commanding, was struck on the
side by an Enfield rifle ball, and was saved
by his canteen, upon which the ball struck
obliquely and glanced off. Soon after an
other passed between his horses ears and
struck his saddle The Adjntant General
of the brigade, riding up with orders soon
after, made sudden jerk OF his head
backwards, a bullet brushed his NOUS
tache, and carried away a part of his
shOulder-strap. All these balls came from
an elevation, and with such force as to pre-
clude the idea Of their being "spent." An
observation with glass discovered a
"butternut in the top of large locust
tree, quietly loading an Enfield. The Ma
jor called out from the ranks q lad not
more than eighteen years old, and said:
:" DO yOu see that Butternut in that
tree ?" ...
"Yes, sir, said the lad.
"Oan you reach him?" ;its.a
"Not with this thing" contemptuously
humping the ground with his Austrian
rifle. &C could with an Enfield"
"Get one and try it." M ~
The lad started for an adjoining regi-
ment that was armed with Enfelds, and
soon returned with the gun and ammuni-
ton of dead comrade Choosing place
at the fence near by, he loaded the piece
carefully; and, drawing bead across rail,

=. Try him again, y said the Major, as a
curl of smoke in the tree told that the shot
had been thrown away. At the same mo-
ment ball from the "Butternut's" gun
grazed the horse of the Adjutant General,
and striking his foot, disabled him so that
he came to the ground at the first bound of
his horse. The lad again loaded and fired
and the dead body of the rebel came to
the ground, and was afterwards ascertained
to have been shot through the heart.
