How is the wooden overcoat made?
Tell US We men of every trade,
Men who know SO well to prepare
Everything human form can wear
Nature the wooden oyercOat weaveS,
Gives all the texture that it receives,
Into the cloth infuses her strength,
Netting its width and netting its length
Where is the shop where she weayes her cloth2
Surely I'll tell you and nothing 10th.
IT'S rooted with blue and lighted with sheen
For the sun and moon they go between,
And the rain and air they tend the loom,
Their shuttles shine like an ostrich plume.
The floor of the shop is the solid globe,
And the roof is higher than sight can probe.
After the piece is woven and and made,
Off it is cut with woodmans blade,
And the same sharp blade with its keenness trims
From it the selvedge of leaves and limbs
Then the Jagged teeth of the mill begin,
Splitting it up into layers thin,
Making it ready for talor's use,
Who smcoths it with plane instead of goose.
When q wooden oyercoats made for man,
Never he's asked the fashion or plan,
Close round the feet, and close round the head,
Over the bosom little spread,
Sawn are the boards almost in two,
To shape to his person without ado;
1t is fitted on with an iron spike,
And short, yet strong, the strokes they strike
Man That the wooden overcoat owns
Never will need to fret his bones,
Thinking to lay it aside at will,
Like taxes and death it will stick to him still.
Last of the wooden overcoat seen,
1t lies in a vault two banks between,
Down fall the clods, and from sight conceal
An overcoat no one would care to steal
'Tis the last suit of clothes man requires,
And the very last suit that he desires.

In the semi-rural district of Winona forty
miles north of this city on the Minnesota side of
the Mississippi River, lives among several other
people, jolly good fellow of Justice of the
Peace, whose ideas of matters are much like the
current of deep river. Once started in deep
river, it is hard to turn them. On fair day
last week, after the chairs had been set in
short row against the side of the Office and sum
| dry whipped guilds Of tobacco and mutilated CT
gar stubs had been kicked under the stove, there
was a wooden step on the stairs and vigorous
knock at the door.
"Come in, said the Justice, as he settled in

stout woman entered She had on a short
wooden dress, wooded-soled shoes, sported red
cheeks, black hair, and eyes that snapped like
the lock of shot gun. In Portuguese accent,
and in the worst possible English, she said
'You law man?'
Eyes, madam; be seated"
"Want paper want paper to take man"
Just then stout French half-breed entered
| the room He was unable to speak half dozen
words, and looked either scared or bashful. The
| Judge saw at once that there was marriage to
come off, and said to the woman, who stood
with compressed lips watching the Justice and
the door
"Want paper to take this man p
''Yes, want paper. Me teach him. (Nice

''All right, my coyies-fx you in the jerk of

the man and said
'You know this woman--can you take her?'
The man shook his head and muttered unin-
telligible words.
''Ah! see. Cam talk english. Well, never
mind"
He ran into the street, invited a few friends
up stairs, and on returning with them, said to
the woman
'.You want to take this man for better or for

''Yes-me want to take him-ne pay"

TYPOGRAPHICAL BLuNDERs.-We have seen

bad enough
A lad in printing office, who knew more about
type-setting than he did of the Greek mythology,
in looking over poem they were printing, came
upon the name of Hecate one of the lady divini
ties of the lower world, occurring in line like
this
''Shall reign the Hecate Of the deepest hell
The boy, thinking he had discovered an error,
ran to the master-printer and inquired eagerly
whether there was an in cat. ''Why, no, you
bloekhead, was the reply. Away went the
boy to the press-room. and extracted the objec-
ton letter But fancy the horror Of both poet
and publisher when the poem appeared with the
line

succeeded, by we'll concerted plan, in
surrounding the place and capturing nearly
the whole force stationed there, with all
their stores and transportation; only few
escaped to Harper's Ferry. The enemy
advanced from that place in Superior num-
bers to attack General Imboden, who re-
tired, bringing off his prisoners and captur-
ed property, bis command suffering very lit
tie loss, and inaicting some damage upon
the pursuing column. In the course of
these operations two thousand four hundred
and thirty six prisoners were captured, in
Guiding forty one commissioned officers; of
theabove number, four hundred, and thirty
four. were taken by Gen. Imboden.

ADVICE TO PLANTERs.-The recommen.
dation has been made, that the planters
should Immediately take measures for win.
ter crops to relieve the demands for grain
aud provisions, and that they should make
their own clothing and supplies. The ad.
vice is spertinent. Wehsve war Of uncer.
tain length before us, and consequent hard
times. Provisions, clothing, shoes, &c, are
high and in demand. These things our
planters can make. -

pumpkins; make their own clothing. for
family and negroes; and save hides and
make shoes for themselves and slaves. H

The Situation.

The fact must be conceded that just now
there is no imperative reason why Bragg
should give battle. If he can choose his
ground, and thus equalize the two opposing
armies, there would be no danger of defeat
in fact, victory would be absolutely Ger:
tain. He may now be outnumbered and
it is thought by military men that be should
merely hold the enemy at bay, until com.
ing events compelas.they must, the retreat
Of Thomas from Chattanooga.
President Davis meant all that he said
when he declared that before the campaign
closed our army would repossess Tennessee.
But there are accidents in war against which
no human genius and forethougbt can pro-
vide. 49,. -s.:
Such an event might occur in East Ten
nessee; but if We read Alright what has
been done and the movements now being
executed, and no disaster befall detach-
ments of our armies, the withdrawal of
Thomas from Chattanooga becomes, at no
distant day, inevitable. He will first seek
to crush Bragg, but it happens, whatever
Bragg's enemies say of him, that they con:
cur in ascribiug to him those qualities
which made Fabian's immortal, and render
ed ,Washiugton's military reputation as ad-
mirable as his unselfish patriotism. Bragg
knows when and how to retreat. Tennes-
see can be redeemed without battle at
Chattanooga. In accomplishing this result
a retrograde movement may be made, but
it will be that of a chess-player, who loses
pawn to catch "castle."
We have no authority for the suggestion
that retrograde movement may occur, and
only speculate upon facts which appears
alike in Northern and Southern journals. -

COLONEL: Yesterday Sunday morning,
at 2 o'clock, moved from Berryyille to
surprise and capture the garrison at Charles
town. The surprise was complete, the ene-
my having nosuspicion of:ourapproach un.
til had the town entirely surrounded. I
found the enemy occupying the G. House,
Jail and some contiguous buildings, in the
heart of the town, all loop p-holed for musket-
ry, and the Court House yard enclosed by
a heavy wall of oak timber. To my demand
for surrender, Col. Simpson requested an
hour for consideration. 1 offered him five
minutes, to which he replied, "Take me if
you can," I Immediately opened on the
building with artillery, at less than two
hundred yards, and with half a dozen shells
drove out the enemy into the streets, where
be formed and fed towards Harper's Ferry.
At the edge of town, he was met by the
18th cavalry, Col. Imboden's and Gilmore's
battalions. "......
One volley was exchanged, when the
enemy threw down his arms and surrender
ed Internationally. The Colonel, Lieut..
Colonel and five others, who we're mount.
ed, fed at the first fire, and ran the gaunt-
let, and escaped towards Harper's Ferry.
The force I captured was the 9th Maryland
regiment and three companies of cavalry,
numbering between four and five hundred,
men and officers. I have not had time to
have them counted. In wagons, horses
and mules, arms, ammunition, medicine and
clothing there were considerable, all Of
which I have saved, and will have properly
accounted for. AS I expected, the Har-
per's Ferry forces, infantry, artillery and
cavalry appeared at Charlestown in less
than two hours after I fired the first gun

property, l was prepared for them. 1 re.

General After Offering some consider
able resistance to the advance of the enemy
at this point, yesterday, in accordance with
the suggestions Of Major General Lee, Ire
tired with sHampton's division slowly
before the enemy, until within two miles
and half of Warrenton, in order that Ma
jor General Lee, coming from Auburn,
might have an opportunity to attack the
enemy in flank and rear. The plan proved
successful The enemy followed slowly
and cautiously after Hampton's division,
when on hearing Major General Lees guns
on their flank, I pressed upon them vigor-
ously in front. They at first resisted my
attack stubbornly, but once broken, the
rout was complete. I pursued them from
within three miles of Warrenton to Buck
land, the horses at full speed the whole dig.
tance, the enemy retreatiug in confusion.
Mai. Gen. Lee had attacked them in
flank just below Buckland. We captured
about 200 prisoners, eight wagons and ann
bulsaces, arms, horses and equipments
The rout was the most complete that any
cavalry has suffered during this, war.
Crossing at Buckland, Gen. Fitz Lee
pushed down the pike towards Gainesville,
while I, with the few men of Gordon's and
Rossers brigades who could be collected
after our unusually longchase moved round
to our left, and pressed downto Haymarket.
Here encountered, besides q large cavalry
force, the first army corpsewho retired a
short distance beyond Haymarket, on the
Carolina road. I attacked their infantry
pickets BY moonlight, and scattered them
[overthe fields, capturing many. Gen. Lee
pressed down to within short distance of
GAINESVILLE, when he. encountered their in-
fantry, and captured prisonersffom the first
army corps. Oh that road also. The pursuit
was continued until; after dark. The caval.
ry force was commanded by Kilpatricki and
composed of ten regiments.
