The Hartford Courant tells story abou.
a gentleman from the country who was hunt
ing for convention in public hall in that
city, and who, after opening several doors,
a lady in the costume of mother Eve. After
a period of brealhess astonIshment, the Cou-
rant says, all of a sudden the wondering
mortal at the door burst out with: "Ma-
dame, I'm trying to find the convention in
- Hall; but judge from appearances
that this isn't the place" She thought so
too.

Cen. Hooker,n order.

General HOOKER has issued an order to
the Army OF the Potomac, assuming COM
mand. Its style reminds one very much
of the pompous vanity and conceit of Cen
eral PoPR. He says
"In equipment, Intelligence and Udtor, the
enemy is our inferior Let us never hesitate
TO give him battle wherever we can find him
This comes with rather bad grace. con-
sidering the fact that our commanders
have been out-generaled at almost every
point by the leaders of the Confederate
army, and that they have foiled or whip
ped us in almost every contest, notwith-
standing our superior numbers. General
HOOKER cannot deceive his men by any
such braggadocia they know, from bitter
experience, that they have to meet foe
worthy of their steel" in every respect.
Our army, if properly commacded, is fully
able to meet them, but that they are su-
perior in intelligence and valor, past events
10 not prove. We have already suffered
enough by the foolish practice Of undersa-
ting the valor of the enemy.

"Gems'' from the Journal.

We continue our extracts from the files
of the journal. In the number of Sep
tember 20, 1855, it has an article under
the caption of "CHAsE on the Dissolution
of the Union" giving the proceedings OF
the United States Senate on petition pre-
sented by Senator HALE, praying for dis
solution of the Union. CHASE spoke in
favor of receiving the petition. WEE
sTER said he twas quite sorry that his
friend from New Hampshire had presented
any such petition, and would be quite sur
prised if there would be any votes in the
Senate for receiving it," The vote was
taken, and the journal publishes the vote.
showing that three Senators, CHASE, SEW
ARD and HALE, voted for the proposition,
and then remarks
I'VE give this extract from the record for a
double purpose In the first place TO show
Mr., Chsse's willingness on a mere abstraction,
to tamper with propositions for dissolving the
Union" &c
To day the Journal acknowledges this
same man, who showed "his Willingness
on a mere abstraction to tamper with prop
ositions for dissolving the Union" as one
of the leaders of its party, and while do
ing SO. talks glibly about loyalty to the
Union"
Again in its issue of August l3, 1855,
it chnracterizes Mr.. CHASE as "corrupt
and unprincipled politician, " and remarks
"All that Mr.. Chase and his peculiar friends
have done from the days of the nulliiying Buf
falo Convention to the present time, has only
tended to extend the AREA OF slavery. and tC
produce hesrt.bnFnings and diseord between
the people Of the North and South. So fai

In another article in reply to a papel
called the PiquA Register the Joar,aal il

"cold-blooded, heartless, self-seeking po

Bg the arrival of the steamer Imperial
from Memphis last evening, in default Of
sIl letters and dispatches from corresp,o.
deuts, I gather from the officers Of The
boat, aud other reliable persons, the follow
ins latest news from Vlcksburg:
The information came from Young's
Point TO Memphis on Wednesday, by the
steamer City Of Memphis, United States
b spiral bot, she having brought up about
four hundred wounded.
II appears that as previously reported,
General Grant has taken all the enemy's
works, with the exception Of one redout,
in which the entire fores was gathered,
and which they defended with pixies, the
elevation being too steep fer the use Of
firearms.
This was ordered to he taken on the 2Sd.
Gen. Alvin p. Hoycy's brigade PRESSED
forward and attempted an escalade 10y the
the use of ladders. AT one time there was
hope of Success, General Hovey having,
with lis own hands, planted our cclors
upon their wall; but after hard fighting.
our troops were repulsed with great loss,
and that attempt was for the time abandon
ed.
As this was the forlorn hope Of the even
ing. it was supposed some means would be
founl to take it before the rebels could
bling forces To his funk. The loss in Gen.
Hoseys brigade must bo severe.
