MILITARY BILLIARDs.-A neat way the
gunners on the Ironsides had of exploding
their projectiles within Fort Wagner. 1t
was impossible to drive them through the
sand and cotton of which the work was
made, nor could the guns be so elevated as
to toss them in from a mortar So the pie
ces were depressed, and the shot striking the
water about fifty yards from the beach,
jumped in. In nearly every instance this
manner of making the missiles effective was
successful "Those are what call billiards"
said the Captain, watching the firing "They
carom on the bay and beach, and pocket the
ball in the fort every time
."PAP," observed a young urchin Of ten
der years, to his fond parent, does the
Lord know everything !?
H Yes, my son, replied the hopeful pa
rent, " but why do you ask that question:"
Because our preacher, when he prays, is
so long telling him everything, l thought
he wasn't posted p The parent reflected.
A fellow who has some music in his soul,
says that the most cheerful and soothing Of
all freside melodies are the blended tones of
a cricket, tea kettle, a loving wife, and the
growing Of a baby.

WE understand that Col. Carter, late
commander of the famous Virginia Black
Horse Cavalry that made the furious charge
on our lines at Bull Run, is now prisoner
in Camp Chase prison. That redoubtable
body of horseman, which constituted the
flower of Stuart's cavalry division has been
entirely used up. This Col. Carter, now a
prisoner. is son of that Col. Carter who, in
the Convention, so persistently opposed the
secession of Virginia, at the time when the
mob threatend the Convention with vio-
lence unless they would immediately adopt
the ordinance Of Secession. Col. Carter
the father, is said to be sound Union man
vet; though his sonjoined the rebel army
as Colonel of Cavalry, and is now in the
Camp Chase prison, He was brought in

ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM JoHNsoN's Is.
IAND.-Tbe Sandusky Register, of Thurs
day, says that Gen. Archer, Gen Jones, two
Captains and one civilian, prisoners on
Johnson's Island, attempted to escape from
the Island Tuesday night last, by bribing
the guard. The proposition was made to
two of the guard and communicated to the
officer of the day in advance, so that the
final matter was anything but tragic The
guard permitted the men to escape from
the enclosure and to reach certain dis
tsnce away, where they paid over the
agreed sum-S2OO to each Of the guard
Greenbacks being short, the amount was
sked out with two gold watches One Of
the guard received $3.50 and gold watch,
and the other about the same. As soon as
the qud pro quo was handed over, the cur
tam dropped, other actors came on the
stage, and the FIVE adventurers were order
ed back to their old quarters-minus ex-

The women and preachers are among the
most earnest and determined rebels in the
South. They do more to stimulate and
keep alive the spirit of rebellion than any
other members of society. Many man
wearing the Federal uniform is traitor,
and where the men are true their wives are
false. 1t is this which has SO often proved
ruinous to the Union cause. Here, every
mind, heart and arms are bent to serve the
cause of the South. Money, property,
crops, everything, is sacrificed for the main
idea. Thus the South has been able to
maintain its position thus far.

Democrat that we are aware Of, ever maintain
ed that those resolves were peace platform.
AS the condition Of the country has not essen-
TALLY changed, they stand 10 this day as the ma.
thorized exposition Of the views of The New
York Democracy.
While the Democratic party-of New York
thus gives expression to the sentiments in Which,
it can unite, the not less patriotic Democracy
of Pennsylvania, in the exercise of an equal
freedom, will do the same. There will be no
rivalry between them except to see which State
will give the heaviest Democratic majority
When, the following year, the States meet in
national convention, the discrepancies tif any)
IN the party creeds of the several States will be
reconciled and harmonized, and all will thence
forward keep step to the same music and march
IN compact array to assured victory. We are
determined that no act of ours shall be an inn
pediment to this consummation, on which is
s.aked the dearest hopes of our torn and bleed
ing country
1t is implied, Of course, that the road to this
result lies through free speech and untrammeled
political action. If the administration should
suppress discussion and interfere with the free
dom of elections, these indispensable rights will
be defended at all hasardS. On this subject our
trumpet has given and will give no uncertain
sound. When these rights are invaded we shall
be ashamed and disappointed if there are any
persons protesting to be peace Democrats. But

revelation; and, in the hope of early redress
through the ballotbox, we think it '.better TO
