General BurnsIde's Operations.

The dispatch Of General Burnside, an
nouncing the capture of rebel brigade
and fourteen pieces of artillery, at Cum
berland Gap, will be read through the
country with qualification and surprise.
The Generals plan of operations for the
occupation of East Tennessee, seems to
have been well laid and admirably exc
cUted. While every body not posted
and the beauty Of it was, few were
posted, though bis movement into East
Tennessee would be timed by the march
of his infantry, he divided his forces, NOV
ing his infantry, under General Hartsufi',
direct upon Cumberland Gap. He then
put himself at the head of his cavalry,
and moved with the utmost CELEBRITY TO
the right of Cumberland Gap, and crossed
the mountains, was soon deep IN East
Tennessee, and was joined, near Kings
ton, as is supposed, by a division Of
General Rosecrans's army. Turning to
the left he appeared at Knoxville, doubt
less as much to the astonIshment of the
rebels as to the qualification of the Union
people. The enemy appeard to have
been confounded By his evasion Of the
mountain passes, where they had looked
for him, and the almost unexampled ra-
pidity of his movements. John Morgan
never made better time. Grants swOop
through Mississippi was not more star
tling 10 rebeldom. After the capture Of
Knoxville, General Burnside disap-
peared for a time. Some cOrjectured
that he would effect a junction with Gen
eral ROsecrans, but they probably were
not informed that he had not his infant
ry with him. Now, we can see plainly
what he..was about. The prize of two
thousand prisoners and fourteen pieces of
artillery at Cumberland Gap tells the
story. This appears to be one of the
most interesting and brilliant episodes of
the war Cincinnati Commercial.

Married by Chance.

The Count de M lived in a state
Of single and independent blessedness.-
He was yet young, very rich, and was sur
rounded by everything that could give
enjoyment to life-excepl a wife. He
had frequently thought of becoming a
husband, but always declared off before
the kno; was tied. Once, however, he
found himself very nearly committing
the folly of matrimony. A young per-
son, the daughter Of one of his friends,
pleased him-her fortune pleased him
not less, perhaps, than her beauty and
accomplishments, and there were other
reasons of convenience, etc., to Justify
the union.
The Count, who so frequently made
the first step towards matrimeny, but as
frequently drawn back, had not yet de-
cided upon the course he should adopt in
this case-he had promised the friends
of the lady repeatedly, but had made no
outward sign of performance. His future
mother, however, knowing his weakness
in this respect, resolved to bring matters
to termination, and therefore demanded
of the Count whether he would not marry
her daughter, and requested an immedi
ate reply. The Count found himself in
great embarrassment. At this moment
his fears and hesitation returned with
more force than ever he trembled at
the consequences.
To give up his cherished habits of
bachelorhood, he found, was hard-it
was almSst impossible to abandon them.
In this emergency he resolved to appeal
to chance. He wrote two letters-In one
he accepted the hand of the young lady,
in the other refused it. He then put
them into hat, and called his servant,
take one of these letters" said he,
''and carry it TO the Chateau de -" "
(which sir 2"
(Which you please"
The servant chose a letter. The
Count burnt the other without opening it.
A distance of ten leagues separated
the two chateaus. The domestic must
be absent twenty-four hours; twenty
four hours must elapse before the Count
knew his fate. His situation is anything
but agreeable-he knows not during
iwenty-four hours whether he is a mar
ried man or a single one whether he
has still the power to dispose of himself,
or whether he is already disposed Of
The domestic returned--he had carried
the letter of acceptation, and M. de M
is, even at this time, the happiesi husband
in that part of the country.

REPRESENTATION OF FLoRIDA-Mr
L. ] Stckney, Tax Commissioner Of
Florida, arrived in Washington few
days since. He came for the purpose
of representing to the Presidentlhe de-
sire of the people of Florida that force
should be sent TO that State to relieve
them from rebel rrle-of which he says
they are heartily tired-lhat they may
be enable to reorganize the State Gov
ernment and elect members of Congress.
He says that if such force is sent I'M
mediately their Senators and Repre-
sentaVes can be elected in time 10 take
their seats in Congress at the commence-
ment of the next session.

Dollars in Dixie.

When we hear of pair of boots being
sold for 500 in the South, it is not so
much an evidence that boots are enor-
mously high there, as the rebel shinplas-
ters are almost yalueless. The exchange
brokers of Richmond are now, it Is said !,
buying all the United States curr ency
they can lay their hands on, at the rate
of from ten TO twelve Dixie dollars for
every one dollar greenback. Union pris-
oners are imporluned by rebel specula-
tors to part with their funds on these
terms, as it is rumOred that several lead
ing "Seceders" are endeavoring (under
the rose) to provide for a rainy day by
exchanging the illegal tenders" of Trea-
son for Union bills. The Richmond pa
pers denounce all such transactions, and
recommend that parties engaged in them
be dealt in as public enemies; but the
fact that the authorities do not interfere,
renders it highly probable that members
of the rebel gOvernment--and probably
the arbitrator hlmself-are implicated
in the business.
The light value placed by the rebels
themselves upon their government cur.
rency, and their anxiety to barter it on
almost any terms for our paper, Indicate
as clearly as the defeat of their armies
and the capture of their stronghold, that
the end of the great revolt approaches.
When four hundred dollars, currency,
are given for a double eagle, as was the
case not long ago in South Carolina, it is
a tolerably significant sign that the "sin-
ews of war" are swapping. One may
believe, therefore, that the great con-
splracy against the Union is now totter
ing to It's fall.

"And you, Sally % sobbed the other,
as she again kissed her and hurried
away to the room in which her innocent
children were still sleeping, undiSturbed
by the noise, and unconscious of their
danger.
Halo, outside there!" now called out
Miss Price, in a loud tone; what are

"Break in, you - she witch - cried
one of the ROBBERS.

"Well, l can't get that ere door open ;
but t'other ones all right; come in that
way, will you 90
The pounding ceased. and a moment
after voice exclaimed, "Ah! here we
are ~ and as the door swung back a
dozen men came crOwding into the room.
The foremost had just barely got a
glimpse of our heroine, sighting her rife,
and was in the act of sprInging aside to
escape being shot, when she fired the
whole charge directly into the keg of
powder, which Instantly exploded with a
tremendous report tearing the wing all
to pieces, considerably shatlering the
main building, and killing ten of the fif-
teen midnight MISUNDERSTANDING heads
and legs and arms and bodies IN every
direction. Of the five that now remained
alive two were wounded, and all so ter
ribly frightened as to think nothing of so
much Importance as hurried flight from
the scene of the disaster
The noble-minded heroine herself was
blown back across the kitchen, but for
tunately was not killed, though seriously
injured. Her sister found her in the
darkness and confusion, by her groans,
and cared for her so tenderly aflerward
that she finally recovered.
The explosion was heard for miles
around and the next day the news flew
so rapidly, that before night at least fifty
people were gathered at the farm, be-
sides small body of american troopers /;
all of whom assisted in collecting and
burying the dead villains. clearing away
the rubbish, and putting things into as
comfortable a shape as POSSIBLE for the
sisters, who had resolved to remain where
they were.
On being questioned as TO why she did
not fire the powder by tram, instead of
shooting into it, Miss Price replied, that
she had feared it might fail, and she
preferred riskIng her life to make the
thing sure and thus save her sister and
the children.
Such noble heroism had many parallels
during the war Of the Revolution.

New YoRK RUFFIANIsM.-Among the
institutions" that have made most head
way In The city of New York during the
last fve-and-twenty years, may be classed
we think the Noble Order of Ready
handed Rufians. The palmy days Of the
n. o. of R. r. commenced some twenty
odd years ago with the hiring of pugil-
lists and bullies, by opposing political fac
tions. These men were engaged by silk
stocking politicians to do the knock-down
and drag out business at sharply-contes-
ted elections, for so much in money
down, and a chance at the spoils in case
their hackers triumphed. The Conse-
quence was Just what might have been
expected. The rOwdes appreciated their
own value. They formed terrorist asso-
Citations, and offered their services to the
highest bidder in open market. Little
cared they for the police. Their friends
were the very men who at that time
controlled the police department. We
cannot be too thankful that it is not so
now. After a time these bandit rowdies
came to be recognized by the different:
party organizations as matter-Of course
auxiliaries and retainers, and received
wages from their employers as regularly
as if they had been journeymen mechan-
les. The rowdyism with which our city
has ever since been infested sprang from
a political root, and was fossered, encour-
aged and rendered formidable by men in
high places.

A little chivalry was manifest among
the rebels at Charleston, in their treat
mens of those who died in their hospi-
talS Quite number Of small articles
and money belonging to deceased mem
bers of the New Hampshire Reg, were
sent to the regiment under fago truce.
This is one Of the best indications that
the Union will soon be itself again. as
such acts on the part of the rebels un-
doubtedly betray that their reason is re-
turning.

eccentricily occurred in England SO lately
as 1898 in which will, where the testa-
tor had left his money, away from his
relatives, to his housekeeper, was dispu-
ted on the ground of intrinsic evidence
