Gently picked up by the captain and crew of
the Annie Vernon, a British steamer trading
between Newport, Monmouth, and other ports

The Way OF Women Preparing to skc-
dRddlo.
A correspondent writing from Suffolk, which
is still invested by the rebels, says:
Among the curious incidents of tho occa.
sion is one worthy Of special note. The fe-
males Of this place expect at any moment to be
called upon to skedaddle. They consider they
will be unable to carry with them In the hurry
but very few articles Of clothing. Hence many
of them look like fat old dowagers, from the
fact that they have on some five or six dresses,
with proportionate amount of undercloLhing.
This may seem very curious, but 1t Is neYerthe-
less true."

A Reply to Col. Percy wyndhOm.


HCsSrs. Editors notice In your issue of the
l4th ga spicy letter from Col. Wyndham." ."
Allow me, in a worry few words, to give my
opinion of 1t. If the said Colonel Wyndham
had have been true soldiers, or a gentleman,
he would not have condcsccnded to pep such an
article; and If he thinks that Col. Richmond,
or any of his friends will bCmCan themselves,
in the eyes of their friends or the public, by
taking any notice of the braggadOcio, he viii
look at the matter wrongly. | am glad to be a
nOn-Commissioned officer In the regiment which
Colonel Richmond commanded, and am one of
Col. RS friends, and hold too dear the h2rior
Of position in the U. S. army to take Colonel
Wyndham's desired notice. II Col. W. wishes
so much TO measure sabres with any of Colonel
Richmond's friends, I think he would send a
challenge through different channel, the pub
lie cannot, and has not failed to sec the true
intention of the article. He has for a long time
been seeking notorCty, and has come to the
conclusion that II he cannot gain II honorably
at his post in the field he will come to the city,
and, in the parlors of the hotels, vent his ire
on those who have notorioty because Of their
deeds in the army.
Colonel, don't be alarmed, the public will not
be 30 hasty as to cOnstruo your article into a
challenge. They will anticipate your inton-
ton of being paraded before the world as some
thing terrible.
With due respect allow mo to subscribe my
