Coon FOR NINE.-The North Carolina
correspondent of the Trumpet and Free
man relates the following =
Gen, Naglee is the hero of a brilliant
exploit. He was riding several miles ahead
of his brigade, with only four others in
company, three aids and an orderly, besides
himself. The arms among them all De
sides their swords, were three pistols. A.
he neared Washington, some one hurriedly
met him and warned him to proceed no
farther on that road, as there were nine
rebel pickets just ahead. The Genera
took hasty survey of his little company
and quietly remarked that they were good
for nine He then rode on. Soon he came
in sight of the rebels, one of whom pulled
his trigger; the gun missed fire, and an
other was just drawing bis bead. 'Briga-
der Generals, deploy as skirmishers. Cav
airy, forward shouted Naglee And
thereupon, drawing their swords and pis-
tolls, the FIVE charged pell-mell A part
of the enemy hastily skedaddled, while five
of them threw themselves into attitudes Of
entreaty, and begged for mercy. These
were borne into Washington, = General
Naglee's prisoners Of war :"

A Coon HorEL SToRY.-Many good
things have been told of DR.. Thompson,
the worid-reuowned hunorist and hostatablo
proprietor Of the Atlanta Hotel, whose ready
wit but few are willing to encounter. But
little incident occurred there few days
ago which rather worsted the doctor.
A aforementioned, who was wounded
at Murfreesboro', had been stopping awhile
with him, and on the twentieth day called
for his bill, The obliging clerk handed
him the document, with twenty days null
tiplied by 81. The colonel scanned the
bill, and observed its footing up-SS0.
He turned to the doctor, who was present,
and asked him if he did not think that was
pretty heavy. The doctor, with that peeu-
liar toss of the head which indicates a small
whirlwind, said
NO; if you had to pay 81 for a COB
bier, 81 dozen for eggs, 81 pound for
Rio coffee, S125 for butter SIS bushel
for potatoes, and s. pair for shad, you'd
think it was hight"
The colonel ran his eye over the bill
again, and quietly replied
well, / have been here twenty days,
and ID the article you have mentioned
that have seen on your table.
It is said the doctor rushed out into the
backyard, and did not cool off till he had
whipped three little niggers.

AN EDITOR IN HEAyEN.-Under the
foregoing caption an exchange gives an
obituary of a brother Of the quill, from
which we extract the closing paragraph:
Are we not glad that such an editor is
in heaven? There the ryof "more copy"
shall never fall upon his ears. There he
will no more be abused by his political an
tagonists with lies and detraction that
should shame a demon to promulgate.-
There he shall no more be used as ladder
for the aspiring to kick down as soon as
they reach the desired height and need
him no more There be shall be able to
see the immense masses of mind he has
moved, all unknowing and unknown, as
he has done during his weary pilgrimage
on earth. There he viii find all his arti-
cles credited, not a peal of thunder stolen,
and no typographical errors to throw him
into fever. We are glad the editor is in
heaven"

When is-the bally troop coming on :"
asked Mrs. Darlington, after watching the
dancers at the theatre about half an hour.

tus with smile, pointing to the beautiful
sylphs that were futtering like butterflies
about the stage.
Well, I believe in calling things by
their true names; I thought it was troop

took their tour out West. Well, " said she,

POE TR Y
SONG OF THE CoppERHEAD.

THERE was glorious news, for our arms were VIC
torious-
Twas some time ago--and twas somewhere
out West;
The big guns were booming-the boys getting
glorious
But one man was gloomy. and glad all the
rest
intending emotions delightful to damp.
He hummed and he hawed, and he snecred and
he sighed
snake in the grass and a spy in the camp,
While the honest were laughing, the Copper
head cried
There was news Of battle, and sad souls were
aching
The fate Of their brave and beloved ones TO
Pale wives stood all fearless, their tender hearts
breaking
For the gallant, good man who would never
return
Wehad lost all but honor--so ran the sad story.
Oh bitter the cup that the Patriot quatfed
He had tears for our fag-he had signs for our
glory
He Lad groans for our dead-but the Copper
head laughed
The traitor the sneak say, what fate shall
await him,
Who forgets his fair land, and who spits on
her fame?
Lei no woman love him? Let honest men hate
him
Let his children refuse TO be known by his
name
In the hour Of our sorrow oil recreant we found
him
In the hour Of his woe may he sigh for
friend
Lethis conscience upbraid, let his memory hound
him,
And no man take note of the Copperhead
end

From Capt. DAVIS, of the Hist Pennsylvania
volunteers, who arrived in this city yesterday
from Gettysburg, we learn that it is not true,

killed at the battle Of Gettysburg. He is now
lying at Dreams Mill, three miles from Gettys
burg, having been shot through the breast, the
ball lodging III his back. He was in command
CT portion of the force comprising tie forlorn
hope of the rebels, and was wounded in the
last desperate charge made by the latter 10 re-
trieye their lost ground.
When Gen. X. fell, his staff supposed him to
have been wounded beyond recovery, and in
order to save themselves from capture left him
on the field, expecting he would die in few
moments. He was, however, found by our
men in time to have his wounds attended II.
and is now in fair way of recovery. Both
Union and rebel papers have reported him
killed, and the letter do not yet know to the
contrary. Gen. Kemper is Virginian.
Col Patton, of the eth Virginia frebeD in.
fantry, and State Senator elect to the rebel
Virginia Legislature, was also left upon the
field as dead; but he, too, is in a Federal hos

A PROCLAMATION

BY the President Of the United States Of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
1t has pleased Almighty God to hearken to
the supplications and prayers of an afflicted
people, and to youchsafe to the army and navy
of the United States victories on land and
on the sea so signal and SO effective as to fur
nish reasonable grounds tor augmented conf
dence that the Union of these States will be
maintained, their Constitution preserved and
their peace and prosperity permanently re-
stored. But these victories have been accord
ed not without sacrifices Of life, limb health,
and liberty, ir CURED by brave, loyal, and pa
triotic citizens. Domestic affection in every
part of the country follows in the train of
these fearful bereavements. 1t is mete and
right to recognize and cor fess the presence of
he Almighty Father and the power of His
hand equally in these trlumphs and in these
SORROWS.
Now, therefore, be it known, that 1 do set
apart Thursday, the sixth day of August next,
TO be observed as day for National Thanks
giving, Praise and Prayer, and I invite the
people of the United States to assemble on that
occasion in their customary places of worship,
and in the forms approved by their own con-
sciences, render the homage due to the Divine
Majesty for the wonderful things He has done
in the Nations behalf, and invoke the uer ce
CT His Holy Spirit to subdue the anger which
has produced and so long sustained needless
and cruel rebellion, to change the hearts of the
insurgents, to guide the counsels of the Gov
eminent with wisdom adequate to so great a
national emergency, and to visit with tender
care and consolation throughout the length and
breadth of our land all those who through the
yicissltudes of marches, voyages, battles, and
sieges, have been brought to suffer in mind,
body, or estate, and finally to lead the whole
nation, through the paths of repentance and
submission to the Divine will, back to the per-
fest enjoyment OF Union and fraternaI peace.
In witness whereof 1 have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal OF the United
States to be affixed.

DIR. Wemyss Jobsop, Of London, has arrived
in this city, for the purpose OF proposing an
adjustment of the difficulties between the North
and the South. He has had an interview
with some of the governmental authorities.
but we believe found them not disposed to
"adjust" with the rebels on any terms short
OF the old ones Of unconditional submission on
their part and an agreement hereafter to keep
step to the music Of the Union As Mr. Jobson
processes to be acting in behalfofthe European
Republicans, il might be well for him to con-
Ter with Mr.. Moncure Conway, who has gone
to Europe on a similar mission in behalf OF
the American Abolitionists, and the two might
associate themselves with Mr.. W. Cornell
Jewett, Of Colorado Territory, General Pacifi-
Gator, and the trio may perhapsbe able to cook
up something worthy the attention of the
world in the adjustment line.
