JACKS IDEA OF DIGNITY-The following
joke, which was perpetrated upon our first
occupation Of Morris Island, is too good to be
lost, either to the local or general public:
1t will be recollscted that four boat-howitz-
ers, named by Union tars, preceded General
Strongs brigade, as it crept up Folly river to
the right of the enemys position. After the
landing of Gen. Strongs forces had been made
and the enemy routed from their batteries and
camps, the sailors having an eye open to gen.
eral result, began to take unto themselves
whatever pleased them. One Of them caught
a secesh mule, and the thought of a ride on
said mule having forcibly suggested itself,
Jack Immediately confiscated a rope lying
near by. With this rope. he contrived bride,
and, mounting the mule he took position upon
the animals rump. The mule neither fancy
ing the bride or the fanking position which
Jack was occupying, began series of stops,
starts and kicks, which every moment threat
ened Jacks equilibrium. While this equest-
rian performance was taking place-the mule
elevating himself in every direction and Jack
trying to maintain his seat with nothing but
fathom's length ofrope to help bim-a naval
officer hove in sight and volunteered the fol-
lowing advice:
Jack why don't you ride amidship? you
will manage him better
JACK taking advantage of a lul in the mules
operations, saluted his officer, and with full
consciousness of his rights replied
This Is the first craft ever commanded

NEW YORK. Aug. "a.
A letter from the ship Storm King, dated
Foo Chow, China, May n, has the following
important statement:
"Among the vessels here is one which with
in the last few days, has been found out to be
a rebel prvateer, and In consequence has ere
ated great CONSERVATION among the American
captains. 1t is hard TO be in terror of craft

other than the John Roe, formerly in Mailer &

She arrived here under the name of Am

the Pacific Islands. She is commanded by
Captain NJ. +. G. Key, of Baltimore, a relative
of the person who wrote the "Star Spangled
Banner" He is an out and out Southerner, a
dashing young man, and lives in splendid
style, sports the rebel coat of arms in his cab
in and flies the rebel rag on his small boat and
forward on his vessel, and fires salute every
time he hoists colors. You will remember the
schooner is very fast and large, and rs ugly
customer as could be met at sea. His dodge
is to give out that his vessel has been charter
ed to convey a number of wood junks down
the river, and that the guns going on board
are for that purpose, but all our captains con-
cude that, instead of conveying wood iunks,
the purpose is TO throw of disguise and come
right out as a rebel cruiser. 1t is said that
Capt. Key formerly sailed out of Richmond
Va, and that Ambridge, the name of his pres
ent vessel, is that of an officer of the rebel
army, who is relation Of his"
