JACKS IDEA OF DIaNIY.-The following joke;
which was perpetrated upon our first occupation of
Morris Island, is too good to be lost, either to the
local or general public.
1t will be recolected that four boat -howitzers,
manned by Union tars. proceeded General Strong's
brigade, as it crept up Folly river to the right of
the enemy's position. After the landing Of Gen.
Strong's force had been made, and the enemy rou-
ted from their batteries and camps, the sailors
having an eye open to the general results began to
take unto themselves whatever pleased them. One
of them caught secesh mule, and the thought
of ride on said mule having forcibly suggested
itself, Jack Immediately confscated rope lying
near by. With this rope he contrived bride,
and, mounting the mule, he took position upon
the animals rump. The mule neither fancying
the bride or the fanking position which Jack was
occupying, began a series of stops, starts and
kicks, which every moment threatened Jacks
equilibrium. While this equestrian performance
was taking place-the mule elevating himself in
every direction and Jack trying to maintain his seat
with nothing but faith ms length of rore to help
him-a naval officer hove in sight and volunteered
the following advice
"Jack why don't you ride amidships you will
manage him better"
Jack taking advantage of alull in the mules op-
erations, saluted his officer, and with full con-
sciousness of his rights replied =
"This is the first craft ever commanded and
think it's id rough if can't ride on the quarter
deck!"

1t is barely possible, but not yet probablc'
that we may be obliged to suspend the New SourH
for one issue, on account Of the non-arrival OF pa
per, ordered several months since, and long over
due here. We had made our arrangements for a.
full and constant supply, but for some reason we
have been disappointed. Wemake this announce
ment that the public mind may, in some degree,
be prepared for possible realization of the great
calamity which seems to threaten, in the non
issue of the New SOUTH, for it is well known our
soldiers would sooner be deprived of their rations
than their newspaper.

SuTLEI's IN THE TREScuEs.-0ur Morris Island
correspondent informs us that several suffers have
been arrested, and convicted fselling liquor AMI
cheating the soldiers. Eeut.-Col. Hall, the Pro-
yost Marshal General, sent them at once to the
front, to dig in the trenches. carry shclls and do
other drudgery, under fire from the rebels, day
and night, which they did not relish at all. After
serving their country in that way, till contrition
came, some of them were sent home, and few
were allowed to remain on probation.

MATTERS AT MORRIS IsLAND.-We have nothing
new of importance from Morris Island, later than
is contained in our correspondence in another part
of the paper. The rebels continue shelling US,
with little interruption, but doing us scarcely any
damage. Everything has favorable look, and
our troops are very hopeful and confident. When
the rebels are so afraid Of Gen, Gilmore as they
confess themselves to be, it is not surprising that
our troops have the greatest faith in his plans.

SIGNAL OFFICERS WoUNDED.-We have before
alluded to the efficient services rendered by the
Signal Corps in the operations on Morris Island,
but we have Inadvertently omitted to mention that
several of them were wounded, none, we are hap
py to say, dangerously. Lieut.. Townsend L. Hat
field, on Gen. Seymour's Staff, while with the
General at the front during the severe engagement
of July 18th, received painful confusion in the
right leg, from grape shot, having narrow es-
cape from worse injuries. This was just before
Gen. Seymour was himself wounded, and Lieut..
Stevens, his Aide-de-Camp, killed. Lieut.. Edwin
II. Hickock, on the lamented Gen. Strong's staff,
was struck, early in the engagement, by eannis-
ter or grape charge, which riddled his coat, one
shot tearing the collar and several others passing
through the front of the garment. He received
only severe confusion in the arm, but his escape
from death was almost miraculous. Lieut.. Paul
Brodie was on the Paacnee, when the rebels at
tackled her so furiousy with field battery at only
$50 yards distance. He was wounded in the shoul-
der, but continued the performance Of his duty,
and IN connection with Lieut.. Cross, who was with
the land forces, was of great assistance to Capt.
Balch and Gen. Terry, in effecting the final re-
pulse of the enemy.

PRoMorIoNs.-Lieut Israel r. Sealy, of the
47th New York, has been promoted to Captaincy
in the same regiment. Lieut.. Sealy came out as
private, and has earned his promotion, through
all the gra les, to the rank he now has. He has
been for some time detached as an Assistant Ad-
jutant General on the staff of the General Com
manding the Department, position for which he
has more than usual ability, and in which he has,
by his courtesy, faithfulness and industry, won
the respect and esteem of all with whom he has
had official business relations.
I'd Lieut.. Fred. Sawyer, of the same regiment,
has been promoted to First Lieutenancy. He is
now attached to the staff of Brigadier General Ste
venson, as Brigade Commissary. His many friends
will rejoice to hear Of his promotion.

OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.

OUR RELATlONS WITH ENGLAND.
The report of Messrs. Aspinwan and Forbes,
who have recently arrived here from England, is
said to be not very satisfactory. 1t is now ap-
pretended that the rebel feet will be permitted to
sail from the British ports in spite of all the agents
Of our government.
Who doubts or has ever doubted the policy Of
ssper6dious Albion" with reference to Our trou-
bles: And who doubts that this great upheaval Of
the "Spirit of the North is aught else than the
commencement of series Of conflicts which. in
the hands of the Almighty is to 90 on extending,
till the circle of true and holy freedom shall sur
round the downtrodden of every Christian land .
The brutal STAKEHOLDER of the South Is no more an
oppressor thanthe landed and titled Aristocracy of
the old world. Their interests, their sympathies,
their sentiments are identicalakeep down the
masses, ,''-ssthe few were made to govern the
many &c., Why should we be surprised at the
course the English Government is pursuing in our
matters
We must prepare for the worst. We must be
re-baptised in the high and holy fountain faith
ers were-the spirit of '76. We must grid up our
loins and prepare our armor for conflict the like
of which the world has never seen. But out of
this great trial shall arise A Natios,-a People
such as God viii delight to look upon and bless.
Then we say, no truce to rebels truce to sarery
No peace movement in the Cabinet or among the
people till Man, in all the splendor of his God
given attributes, shall gain the lofty summit of his
destiny.

THr New WHARH At BAY PoNr.-A few days |

THE New WHARF AT BAY PoNT.-A few days
since we were one of party to visit Bay Point,
where we were kindly entertained by Lieut. Good
win, of the Sd r. 1. Artillery, in command at the
post, Mr.. John Pitts, naval sutler, and others.
Among the most noticeable matters at the post, is
the new naval wharf now nearly completed, and
in regard to which we have learned some facts.
The contract for the wharf was made with Mr..
Alfred Lee, on the 14th of January, 1868, by the
Navy Department at Washington. On the 4th Of
February Mr. Lee arrived by the .Arago, as the
contractor for the Navy at Bay Point. Heprompt-
ly gave notice to the Admiral but the Engineer Of
the coast survey was absent, and did not make the
survey until the last of the month, when he found
the ground was so much different from the plan,
that the matter was referred back to Washington.
On the 7th of April Mr.. Lee came back again, but
it was then decided that the wharf was too low,
and new grade must be established. On the 18th
of May Admiral Du Pont directed change of the
grade to six feet above high water mark, and sew
eral days afterwards Mr. Lee got his orders to pro-
ceed. The original plan was for a pile wharf of
eighty seven rows, and built in the shape of a 7.
The main stem is 52l feet long by AZ feet inches
wide, and the top of the T is POI by AZ feet 6
inches. To make the plan complete, to the origi-
nal was added pile bridge 1900 feet long and l2
feet wide; and at the date of the notice to Mr..
Lee to commence work, the timbers and piles were
growing in the woods and the hot season rapidly
approaching. The bridge will now be completed
in few days. The wharfis within some ten or
twelve rows of the top of the T, and vessels draw
ing 20 feet at high water can then come alongside.
The piles are zinced to keep the worms from de-
stroying the timber, and all parts Of the work is
done in the most substantial manner. The zinc,
iron and plank comes from the North, and large
part of it is already delivered and ready for use
Capt Boutelle, in his report to the Board of Con-
struction at ashngton, gives the contractor great
credit for going fifteen miles back from the coast
to get the yellow pine for the wharf, while all the
wharf built for the government in this section
are composed of loblolly pine, which will not last
more than three years.
"A railway is to run from the end of the pier to
high and dry sand bluff three-fourths of mile off
upon which is to be built the depot for Naval
Stores of all kinds. The piles for this road are
already in and the superstructure nearly ready for
the rails. Mr., Lee, Mr.. Smith his assistant and
all others connected with the work are certainly
entitled to great credit for their energy in having
accomplished SO much, when surrounded with so
many difficulties.
We must not omit to mention that Lieut.. Good
wins guns were in perfect order and everything
about his grounds as neat as a pin.
