4 WOMAN ELECTED MAYoR.-At a
recent local election in Oskaloosa, To-
wa, there was but one candidate pre-
scented to be voted for The boys"
did not like him and were bound to
have another candidate, and so, more
in the spirit of fun than otherwise,
they nominated on the day of election
Mrs. Nancy Smith, and to the aston
ishment of everybody, when the votes
were counted in the evening it was
found that Mrs. Nancy Smith had 81
majority over the regular candidate.

GEN. PRCE.-What the ,Sunater is

Everywhere present, yet never to be
caught. Now he is up on the Missou-

down among the Ozark hills !; anon he

down into Arkansas, or rushes toward
the red mans reserve now he turns
his front toward st. Louis, and again,
no man but himself can tell of his vhcr-
abouts. The military Craps" in which
he is TO be caught he adreitly evades :;
the military sacks in which he is to be

From the 9TH Regiment.
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, VA.

FEB. 10, 1852.
FRIEND BRUNDAGE:-I take this
opportunity of addressing you, as there
Is 10 drill to-day. It has been very
rainy and muddy here for the last
month. The mud has been awful deep
here. Such weather was never seen
IN Wisconsin. There is not much do
ing here at present. We were out on
picket last week-saw no rebels. only
what ''Dixie'' saw. He challenged
several stumps in the night, and fired
at two, but they would not run. I shot
a hog in the night, and the squeal he
gave made several think that a whole
rebel regiment had charged OH us -
but after while all was quiet. In the
camp here all kinds of games are go
ing on-some for sport and some for
profit. / must mention one instance of
ingenuity and deceit practiced by one
member Of Go. G, by name Stephen
Durkee. He had got tired of this life
of idleness, and so, for pleasure and
profit combined, he went to selling pho
tographs aud daguerreotypes of noted
personages. The stock he had Oh hand
being all disposed of, and not getting
a pass to go to Washington for more,
he went to Uncle Dunton, Of our own
Company, who is taking pictures, and
got number Of his own taken, and he
also procured a number of isaac Bea-
die, the homcliest man IN the Regi-
ment; and with this stock he COM
menced trade again. The pictures of
Beadle he sold for Abe Lincoln's, &C
three dollars apiece, and those Of him
self Tor Fremont at twenty shillings
apiece, till he was detected on one of
his own pictures, and tn at spoiled his
trade. He is known by the name of
the picture dealer now. This is only
one of the many kinds of. deception 60
ing on here. Poker, euchre, sweat
boards, and all kinds of baser games,
are going on, but none so successful
as the picture dealer. The boys are
mostly in good health. The Captain
and lst Lieutenant are hourishing fine
ly. The Ordcrl will be I'd Lieuten-
ant.
<'Dixie" and a fellow by the name OF
Babcock keep all manner of fun going
on, The celebrated Munchausen could
not compare with them for yarns.

How TO SIEEP.-No doubt there
are many of our readers who under
stand this delightful art to perfection !;
but there are certain conditions of an
imal economy, even in state of health,
when 'Etlred natures sweet restorer'
refuses to close our lids, and seems per-
tinaciously to fly from us, though WOO
ed ever SO warmly. The most natural
and facile method is to place the head
i'll comfortable position and then,
taking a full inspiration, breathe as
much as possible through the nostrlls.
The attention must now be fixed upon
the fact Of breathing The patient
must imagine that he sees the breath
passing from the nostrils and the We
~ moment lie brings his mind to con-
ceive this, apart from all other ideas,
consciousness and memory depart, and
he sleeps. The method is strange.
simple, and the experiment will prove
its truth.

FUNNY MUss.-A muss occurred at
the LeClaire House, Davenport, Iowa,
a few days ago, between Waterman
and one Of the misses of the establish
ment The mischevious Miss was in
the habit Of teasing the Waterman,
playing tricks on him, and even man
aging to black his face. Watchy got
indignant at last, took Miss down, and
spanked her. Miss prosecuted for as
sault, but the complaint, Oh hearing,
was dismissed.

WASHINGTON. Feb. %

w dS!lluTlOn, en-. Zo.
Washington's Birthday was chosen
for the nomination by the Senate of
General Winfield Scott, as Minister
Extraordinary to Mexico, with, it is
said, functions such as he exercised ia
the pacification Of the Eastern bound
airy. Accompanying this nomination
the project OF a treaty went into the
Senate whose principal feature was
substantially the assumption of the
Mexican debt and the interest on this
amount to three millions Of dollars per
year. The treaty guarantees our pay
mcnt of II for five years There is no
law for the appointment Of an Assist
ant Minister to Mexico or any other
country.
1t is thought Gen. SCOTS nomina-
ton would be confirmed by the Senate,
particularly if his functions should be
limited to the pacifcation of tie arm
ed quarrel conspired against Mexico,
at a moment when we could not de-
tend the Monroe doctrine, and 90 to
her help, but it is doubtful if the Sen
ate will favor the scheme of buying off
England, France and Spain for life or
five years.

HISTORY TO BE CoRRFCTED.-In a
recent debate in the House at Wash
ington, Frank Blair made a statement
to the effect that Gen. Patterson in
formed President Lincoln, on the ev-
ening before the Bull Run battle, that
Gen. Johnson had cluded him, and
had succeeded in joining his forces
with Beauregard or would SO Join car
ly the next day; furthermore, that on
hearing of this, the President called
on Gen. Scott and insisted that the ad-
vance to Manassas should not be made
Gen. Scott, however, declared that
the movement should go on in spite of
the news communicated. Covode de-
MED Blair's statement, but he reitera-
ted it, and desired to be called on to
testify before the War Committee.

r-We have somewhere heard a
story that = Yankee applied for work
to Quaker. The Quaker employed
him, and at once set him to work
pounding on log with the butt end Of
an AK Jonathan continued at this
occupation about half an hour, when
he threw down the AK and exclaimed
that "he'd be hanged if he'd chop
wood unless he could see the chips fy."
This anecdotc presents q very promi
nent feature of our national character.
We are reminded of it by witnessing
the effect Oh our people Of the recent
success Of the Federal troops at Ro-
ano&c, Fort Henry and Fort Donelson.
The citizens Of the Northern States
certainly feel to a very considerable
extent the hardships and privations
consequent upon the present condition
Of our national affairs. They are unan-
lmOuS III Inelr ueFOtlOn 10 inc UnlOn,
but have, perhaps, almost allowed
themselves to complain of the costs to
which they are subjected for its pres.
crvation. This feeling, if it has ever
had any existence in their hearts, the
events Of the last few weeks have en-
tirely destroyed. They now begin to
see the chips fly, and the North is re-
deemed from any possibility Of falling
into the sin Of Lots wife.
Now will the father JOY fully pay the
hitherto dreaded "Government tax
while the mother thinks with more
pride than sorrow Of her soldier boy.
