MDowELL's DEFENCE M'Dovell

M'DowELL's DEFENcE.-The MDovell
Court Of Inquiry has concluded is labors,
and M'DoweI has filed his defence. On
the evidence he is entitled to scquittlal,
just as much SIS was fiz John Porter on
that of his case. But there is no telling
what the decision may be. The N. Y.
Times rather drily observes:
1t may be favorable, it may be adverse,
but certainly Gen. MDowell seems to
have very efectualy disposed of the main
part of the charges that have been made
against him.
OF the charge o. drunkenness Mcdowell
says:
1.-The charge of treason is a fit pendant
to the one of drunkenness, and quite as
true, seeing that. to this day, have never
drank anything but water.

A CHAPTER on camp religion in
army correspondence, contains the
following: On the night before the
great battle at Charlottesville, a
general officer who had business with
Gen. Hooker, was walking through
his own camp, on his way to head
quarters, when he heard one of his
soldiers, in the darkness, praying
earnestly for Recommending general.
He prayed that God would make
Gen. Hooker circumspect, wise, cap
able for the great work he had to do
he asked thatthe General might have
power to guide his army, to lead
them to victory over theenemies ofthe
Union ; and then he prayed that God
would give General Hooker command
over himself-that he might be a
good and God fearing man, and that
in all things he migt acknowledge
the will and the power of God. Much
touched at the prayer of this poor
soldier, the general officer walked on.
In the course of the evening, he had
an opportunity to mention what he
had heard to Gen. Hooker. Hooker
is frank, noble hearted fellow, easily
moved, and this touched him to the
quick. He covered his face with his
hands, aud silently wept.

MONEY! MONEY! MONEY!

The year is approaching very near
to close, and it is quite natural that
we should now be expecting to see
our delinquent patrons coming up
with their hands on their pocket
books. We have been very indul-
gent to many of our patrons in allow
ing them to suit their own time and
convenience in settling their bills,
and they will not think it amiss for
us to say now that ace eapect every
debtor to Hquidate his bill betaceen this
and the holidays. If, at that time,
there are still some delinquents, we
will consider that they have forgot
ten their Indebtedness, and they will
not object to having their names ap-
pear in published list of "delin-
quent patrons,' as kind Of re-
hinder.
We expect to send out bills next
week, and we have not postage to
spare or waste in sending more than
once. If the first sending does not
meet with response, it will be un-
derstood, and we will know who to
send next time.

A Romantic Story.

Upwards of thirty years ago, says
the Liverpool (Eugland) Mercury, a
marriage took place in this neighbor-
hood, the man and wife beingin hum
Bile circumstances. After living to-
gether till after the birth of a child,
the husband went to Australia to
seek his fortune. His wife never
heard from him after he left her, and
supposlng he was dead, on the lapse
of seven years she married wdower
with three children. To this num-
Der in her second married life she
added FIVE, making her whole family,
including the child by her first hus-
band, nine in all. Some time since
the second husband died, and she
was left to struggle with her large
family. To her great surprise at the
beginning of the present year her
first husband made his appearance
at Liverpool. During his thirty
years absence he had prospered in
Australia, and was large landed
proprietor there. He had heard of
his wite's second marriage, but as
the fault was bis, he never thought
of returning to England until he
heard of the death of the second hUs-
band. To make amends for his for
mer neglect of his wife-for uotwith-
standing her secont: marriage, she
was still his wife-he behaved in the
most handsome manner to all her
children, gave them costly outfits,
and has taken.them and the wife of
his early affections out with him to
the land Of his adoption The wife,
gho has thus, after an absence of
more than thirty years, been restored
to her position, is now about seventy
years of age.

Summary for the Week.
ybe Bombardment Of sumter.

New YORK, Nov. 15.-The Balti-
more Americana correspondent from
Charleston Harbor, on the 18th
writes: 5
The monitors Montauk and Passaic
had returned from Port Royal fully
repaired.
The gunboat Nepsic had arrived.
The Commandment of Sumter goes
on without any unusual incident.
The rebel firing was not serious.
The monitor Patapsco recently
threw 5 shells into battery Bee, COM
pelling the rebels to desert their guns
for time.
Gen. Gilmore recently threw 3
ordinance shells into the center OF
Charleston to try the range OF his
guns.
The correspondent thinks, however
that Charleston will not be shelied,
till the monitors are in position in
the roads, when its surrender can be
demanded according to all the forms
and usages of war.
Therebels have2, 900 negroes work
ing in the batteries on James and
Sullivan s Islands, but many of them
will be found useless when the great
trial. comes.
The prospects of early and success
full results have hever been more
promising than now. Rebel obstruc-
tions are no longer feared and the
correspondent is convinced that we
will have Charleston or its ruins be-
tween now and Christmas.
