What the President Promised
the Young Lady.

Those who were Of the unusually
large company that beseiged the waiting
room adjoining the Presidents apart
ment in the White House, on the morn
ing of the 23d OF Scptembcr-the day
succeeding the issue Of Ere adom-will
doubtless never forget a en- rkable in
cident chat then transpired. A gentle
man had discovered the President,
through a slight opening between the
folding doors of the chamber, pac
cing slowly upand down the long gandthick
ly carpeted hall. Tall, angular, with
hair snarlcd and unkenpt whiskers
awry, collar in creases and slippers very
much down at the heel his eyes gazing
low at the vacancy, his shoulders droop-
ing; one hand behind his back, the fng-
ers twitching peryousiy5 the other
thoughtiully p ling at he beard-in
garb iliftting, in face hoinoly and i'm
pressive, and in manner patient, reso-
lutte, medita tive-this was the figure
thatimmediately after discovery became
the cynosuIe OF constellation Of eyes.
Whispered remarks were made, one by
an elderly gentleman to the effect that
the President would not keep faith with
the letter Of the Emancipation Procla
nation.
4 young girl Of remarkable bcaufy
who hung upon his arm, and who had
been gazing on the subject Of the doubt
with undisguisod elimination looked mp
rather scornfully and said Wont he ?
T'm not afraid OF it-you shall see; and
relinquishing the gont!eman's arm, she
passed to the intense astonishment off
all, through the doorway, moved up the
hall with an air Of exquisite grace, and
paused almost in front Of Mr.. Lincoln,
who stopped in surprise.
Pardon 7 pleaded the intruder, in
short, French way; then, earnestly
looking up in his face: "but they say,
Mr.. President, you will keep your word
about the slaves. | love you for the
words, and say you will Which is it !?
The face Of the President was radiant
as he bent to take her hand and said
You need not lear-I shall not fail.
The questiorcr with suppressed trl-
umphant, Il knew it, withdrew, while
the slow walk IN the hall went on.
This Incl cnt is veritable, and has
never before been made public.

4 FLEET AFTER THE ALABAMA
It is not worth while to conceal the fact
that whole fleet Of steamers arc after
the Alabama. The Vanderbilt sailed
Yesterday from the Lights direct to
Faval, and runs fair chance Of falling
in with the pirate on the way She Is
supposed to meet there two United States
steam men of-war, detached from for
eign squadron and the three will then
take different course The names OF
the steamers cannot be given. At the
Rrooklyn navy yard at present there
are two splendid regular navy steam
frigates. and one 'ten knot steamer,
which will be off in a few days.
At Boston another fast steamer IS
ready to leave. One left Philadelphia
on Thursday, another started from Ports
mouth, n. H., on Monday, and five have
taken their departure from this and
other ports within few days OF them
all, however, only one, the Stettin, prize
steamer, built, expressly to run the block
ade, and subsequently captured BY our
ships, is probably fast enough to eaten
the Alabama.-N. Y. Tribune, l2th.

Hale Of New Hampshire, says: u am
told that there has been paid in Boston,
and ] do not know but elsewhere, bro
kerage equal to ten per cent. For char
tering vessels for our water expedition
that the charge has been enormous, and
that they have been in the habit Of pay
ing this brokrago monthly thatis, where
they hired a vessel, say for three thou
sand dollars a month, they pay the bro
ker ten per cent a month on the char
ter. | have heard Of a case where for
instance, one asks twenty-four thousand
dollars for his vessel, and they will buy
it if he will ask twenty-seven thousand
FIVE hundred dollars, out Of which the
brokerage is to be paid and because he
would net ask three or four thousand
dollars more for his vessel than it was
wtrth. he could not sellit, and the went to
some merchant who was willing to ask a
higher price.

DODGEVILLE, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY JANUARY 81, 1868.

THE New MoNIToRs.-The New York
papers say that the new Ericsson iron
clads all differ in an important respect
from the Monitor, and that notwithstand-
ing the disaster to her, the others are
perfect life boats, and cannot founder at
sea. The chief points Of difference be-
tween the Monitor and her successors
arc:
F'rst-The Monitor had a dead fiat
bottom, with sides sloping at an angle
OF eighty degrees to the vertical line.
The new Monitors have an ordinary
midship section, andan ordinary rise OF
flow, and a round bilge, They possess
what ship builders term "a very easy
midship body"
Second The turrets in the new Mon
TORS are supported on four bulkheads
Two rursy else and two longitudinal ones,
very heavily braced with what are called
angle bars
The turret, therefore, Of the new Mon
itors is much more firmly supported than
in the original, where it is kept up by
only a single buIkhoad, running across
the vessel
Thrd-The overland at the stern Of
tie old Monitor was also much greater
than in the new vessel The latter,
therefore, are subject to far less strain
in a sea way than their famous prcdetes-
sor.
FamtA-The distingu shing point OF
differences between the two classes OF
vessels, however, is the impregnablc chin
ney Of the new ones, which can neither
be affected by sea or shot, which the
original one did not have.
Irtih-The fresh air for supplying
the boilers and for ventilating purposes
is taken in through air trthks, as in the
derelct Monitor, which are extremely
liable to be carried away in seaway.
These changes were introduced BY
Captain Ericsson in consequence of the
difficulties experienced during the first
trip Of the Monitor, and but for these
difficulties the improvements would not
have been made.

Washington, Jan. 21-The report OF

Rear Admiral Lee has forwarded to
the Navy Department report from
Lieut.. Cushing, from Beaufort, n. e.,
Jan. 4th, detailing the particulars OF q

Carolina, on Little River with 70 men
While proceeding up the river they
were fred upon by rebels, from a blui!
ON the left bank Landing and forming
in line, without firing gun, they moved
forward until they came in sight Of a
fort and camp FIRE, whereuPon they made

mo that the enemy were ignorant OF the
h1mher of his force The move was
successful. They captured the fort, cur
men going over one side as the rebels
.escaped over the other The fort was
found to be an earthwork, surrounded
by ditch, with a block house inside,
pierced for musketry.
Lieut.. Cushing learned that the fort
had been held by a company of infantry,

Pascal, whose genius developed itself at
ten years DID, did not attain the third
Of a century. In 1871, a child was
born at Lubbock, named Henri Heinne-
ken, whose precocity was miraculous.
At ten months OF age he spoke distinctly,
at twelve learnt the Pentateuch by rote,
and at fourteen months was perfectly
acquainted with The Old and New Test
ament. Al two years he was as familiar
with Ancient History as the most cru
dite authors of antiquity. Sauson and
Danville only could compete with him
in geographical knowledge. In the an
cient and modern languages he was a
proficient This wonderful child was
unfortunately carried off in bis fourth

Baltimore, Jan. 22.-Rumors of an
important character from the army of
the Potomac reached this city last night
in the through train from Washington
that, briefly stated are as follows:
Burnside has again crossed the Rap
pahannock with his army, and terrible
battle is being fought The report that
Lee had detached Longstreet's corps
from the rebel army and sent it to Ten
nessee, is untrue. The rebel army is in
tact and engaged in opposition to Burn
side One wing Of our army, probably
Summers, had succeeded in fanking the
rebel position, and had advanced two
miles Hooker was reported mortally
wounded. The above we give merely
as rumors from Washington and not a
report from the army There is prob
ably some truth in them, but how much
we are not prepared to say.

pie in which was tied the end Of a piece
Of strong rope. An anchor attached to

was fastened to stump ashore. In the
