young man, Ell! where's his baggageY per-
sisted Urso Major. "Im his baggage, Old
Hateful" replied the demure damsel, pursuing
her rosy lips into the prettiest pout. "Old

and extended an arm protectngly, almost ca
ressingly, around his baggage, and Mr.. c0Rduc-
tor Capron started the PF0Dfdeace

There has been a great call for cottages at
Newport, and everything indicates lively
season. The Ocean House is to be in charge
Of Mr.. Weaver, for a number of years clerk
with Kearner & Birch, the former managers.
No arrangements have yet been made for
leasing the Bellevue House for the use Of the
naval school. There are now some $50 per-
sons connected with the school.
The first tautog of the season was taken at
Bristol Ferry on Monday-an early arrival.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Posters like the following were posted in
the most public places of Mobile on the 9th
instant. 1t is one of the unmistakeable signs
now becoming quite common, that the dis
tress of the people in the rebelious states has
reached point that is almost unbearable.
BREAD OR PEACE"
sit has not yet come to be a question of bread or
peace with us, but fast coming to it. If our
government compel man with a family of
children to fight for for eleven dollars per month,
it can compel. and must, those who stay Mt home
and enjoy their now, and will enjoy our free
dom when achieved. TO feed the poor children of
poor tathers-the widows, whose only sons are
lighting the battles and enduring the terrible hard
ships Of the march anu camp foodleas, coheless
and shoeess. Forbearance will soon cease te be a
virtue. Our wives, sisters and little crying
for bread Beware! lest they cry for blood also i!
We have had enough of extortion and speculation;
it is time the strong arm of the law extended.
The people will rise, sooner or later! There are
lamp posts and rope enough to cure this than
treason-and the remedy will be supplied by an out
ragged people. BRUrUs H."

Lively News from the Southwest.
There has been no cessation of activity in
the southwest during the few days that public
attention was directed to events nearer home.
The first rumor of the evacuation of Vicks-
burg is not confirmed, and is probably prema-
ture. But the fact that admiral Porter is now
safely between Vicksburg and Port Hudson,
with several of the best iron-plated vessels on
the western waters, with a strong co-operat-
ing land force, will render both those ports
very undesirable places for the rebels to hold.
While this successful running the blockade
has been going on there has been no less ef~
fective work nearer New Orleans. Some
seventy-five miles west of the city the rebels
held strongly fortified position at Centre
vile. Caught between the forces of Gen.
Grover on one side and of Gems. Emory and
Weitze on the other, the enemy had evacu-
ated his works, leaving his guns and ammuni-
ton behind him, and was himself in danger of
being captured with all his command. This
report is accompanied with the intelligence of
the recapture of the lost Queen of the West
with all her crew.
These are only preparatory steps to the
overthrow of the rebel army in that region.
The field of operations is too distant, and all
future events, especially in war are too uncer-
tain, TO justify speculation as to the precise
combinations by which this desirable end is to
be achieved, but every movement formed
which interrupts the communications of the
enemy removes them from their sources of
supply, or gives our own scattered forces OPP
portunity for cooperation and attack, are ad-
vantages not TO be slightly estimated
The forces in possession OF Vicksburg now
have country entirely in our possession I'M
mediately north of them, the Big Black river
in the control of Admiral Porter and his fleet
south of them, the Mississippi river at the
west which they cannot cross, and at the east
two divisions of Gen. Grants army waiting TO
welcome them if they should even venture to
retreat
If untoward and unforeseen accidents do
not now occur, there is good cause to hope
that the old standard will soon be raised again
in all the southwest, and our victorious forces
will be relieved to help the armies of the east
wind up the struggle in the closing summer
months.

HE SEIGE OF WAsHINGToN.-The little
body of troops besieged at Washington, NC,
since the first of April, have been relieved.
They bore the siege-all accounts agree
with great gallantry, some of the time upon
short rations, and all of the time exposed to
imminent peril. The rebels from their forti-
fed works made several attempts to reduce
them by assault, but every effort failed. On
the fifteenth day of the siege the first rein
forcements ran the blockade, to the great joy
of the beleaguered garrison. The day follow
ing general Foster ran the blockade to New
bern to devise immediate measures for raising
the siege. The rebels, however, do not seem
to have waited for him-abandoning all their
works on the 18th inst, and retreating to some
new and safer field of adventure.
