GENERAL HOOKER.

We are permitted to make the following
extract from letter by personal friend of
this officer. We publish it, believing it
may correct in some degree, public impress
sions which are as erroneous as they are I'M
just:
''You may feel some interest in knowing
that l spent last Sunday in Baltimore, with
Gen. Hooker. He rejoices as earnestly as
any other person in the success of General
Meade, but feels most deeply the injustice
done himself. 1t is some evidence, think,
of Hooker's fitness to command, that Meade
took the army precisely as he left it, with
the exception of reinforcements, and found
it so ready for action and victory. You may
ask: Why did not Hooker lead it to action
and victory The reason is simply this
that reinforcements were withheld from him
which were given to Meade on the very day
he assumed command. Ever since the in-
vasion began, Hooker had been pleading for
those reinforcements. He had said to Gen.
Halleck and the War Department.: Il am
able, with the force 1 have, to whip Lee,
but not 10 capture his army. The country
will not be satisfied if Lee is permitted TO
! get back, and he may as easily be captured
as whipped. Give me Couch and the gar
rison 10000 men) at Harper's Ferry
Haleck refused. Having command at Har-
per's Ferry, Hooker then took the respon-
sibility and ordered the evacuation. Halleck
countermanded the order. Hooker then
telegraphed: 4 now demand achievements,
or earnestly beg to be relieved of my com
mand.' He was relieved, and the very
messenger who brought Halleck's order to
Meade brought the order giving him the
forces for which Hooker had waited and
4 begged in vain. Such is simple state
ment of the facts. said to the General,
1t is too bad that you should have that
splendid prize SO. near your hand and not be
allowed to pluck He replied with CULVER
ing lip, 1t is hard fortune
Il give you my word that the stories about
his drunkenness are utterly false. So far
from being drunk at Charlottesville, the
fact is that when he was made insensible by
the conclusion of cannon shot against a
column against which he was leaning, and
spirits were wanted for his use by the sur
geon, not drop could be found at his
quarters, and it was long before it could be
obtained.'S

The Wrong Hat.

David P. McBrien, Esq, Of New York,
tells good note on Jersey lawyer. The
hero OF our sketch, during the last hot sum-
mer months, used occasionally to worship
at the shrine of Gambrinus lager King),
on Broadway. One sweltering day, he got
pretty "mellow," having moistened his tho
rax too much with the German beverage,
and proceeded to navigate to his office. He
took substantial looking white hat, and with
a rather puzzled look was making an attempt
to put i. on sidewise. OF course it wouldn't
fit. He looked inside, holding it up toward
the light, and read aloud: Jonas Shooter,
Esq, Attorney at Law, &C., Jersey City

Another attempt to put it on sidewise;
no use; again takes it off. and again reads:
Jonas Shooter, ESQ.," dc.
After another trial, finding it didn't ft,
the gentleman commenced feeling all over
his head, evidently to assure himself that no
protuberance had suddenly developed itself.
Having satisfied himself on this point. he
once more read the address, and made an
other trial, once more sidewise. There he
stood, perfectly mystifed; but an idea light
ed his face, and he called the waiter ,zianna

''Can you read writing 90

Valuable Hints.

If man faints, place him flat on his back
and let him alone.
II any poison is swallowed, drink instant
ly half glass of cold water, with a heaping
teaspoonful each of common salt and ground
mustard stirred into it. This vomits as
soon as it reaches the stomach; but for fear
some of the poison may still remain, swal-
low the white of one or two raw eggs, or
drink cup of coffee-these two being an
tidotes for greater number of poisous than
any other one dozen articles known, with
the advantage of their always being on
hand. If not, half pint of sweet oil or
drippings, or melted butter, or lard, are
substitutes, especially il they vomit quick
ly.
The best thing to stop the bleeding Of
. moderate cut instantly is to cover it pro-
fusely with cobweb, of flour and salt half
and half.

FOREIGN NEWS.

The arrival Of the llansa, and Arabia
from Europe, furnishes us with the latest IN.
formation respecting foreign intervention
and European feeling generally towards this
country. Our victories over rebellion are
not without their influence upon British
Statesmen and people.
Earl Russell has written reply to the
Emancipation Society in tone disap-
proving of the building OF rams in England
for the conlederates, but alleging that no.
thing can be done to stop the work ill the
proper afidavits are made The Paris
AoHaear says that the Florida is only per-
mltted to make necessary repairs at Brest
The Liverpool Post admits that the rams
building by Laird are intended for the
coniederates, and states that the French
people aud their government are not inter.
ested IN any way in the ships except that Il
certain French banker is connected imam
cially with the business. The rams were to
be paid for out of the confederate cotton
loan, and certain Mr.. Langier was guar.
antee for the payment. This man has IL
mortgage or lien on both vessels, aud they
will probably become his property The
Post suggests that the British government
should then buy the vessels at cost price
