courteous and welcome reception. Two
elegant barges were dispatched to trans
fer them from the Government tender to
the frigate. Capt. Boutakof was at the
gangway, and had every preparation made
to receive his guests with honor. After
the presentation of the officers on board,
the gallant Captain, with Mrs. Lincoln,

by all the visitors, who were delighted
with its complete appointments. An en-
tertainment followed, at the close of which

remarks, and gave "The President of the

JoB's PATIENCE As VIEWED BY
LADY.-"If there as proverb that needs
revamping, it is He patience Of JoJ.'
Now in the first place, job sodsnt patient.
Like all the rest of his sex, from that day
to the present, he could be heroic only for
little while at time. He began brayely,
but ended, as most of them do under an
noyance, by cursing and swearing Pa
tient as job ! Did Job ever try, when he
was hungry, to cat shad with frisky
baby in his lap? Did Job ever try, after
nursing one all night, and upon taking
his seat at the breakfast table the morning
after, to pour out coffee for six people,
and second cups at that before he
had a chance to take a mouthful
himself? Pshaw I've no patience
with Jobs patience 1t isof no use
to multiply instances but there's not
faithful house.mother in tue land
who does not out-distauce him in the
twenty-four.' The lady who writes the
above, would probably admit, however,
that Job was very patient-for man.

The Battle ut Brownsville.

The Abingdon virgini6n of the 25th instant, gives
some particulars of the recent fight at Blountsviie
East Tennessee:
Colonel Garter met the enemy at the river with less
than athousand men. He fought them as well as be
could with the odds SO largely against him. and David
sons Battery of only three pieces is said to have be-
haved itself with great gallantry. Overpowered by
numbers our forces compelled to fall back though
they contested every inch of ground. Late on Tues
day evening the enemy succeeded in reaching the
nit of the hill at the west end of BountsVie, while
our little force occupied the hill at the forks of the
road at the east end of the village. Here Davidson's
Battery was actively and bravely handled, and doubt
less did good execution. The enemy ahelIed the town
without giving notice for the removal of the
ana children, and learn that most of the place
consumed to ashes.
Finally, not being able to contend successfully with
overwhelming forces, fell back on the Bristol
road, and rejoined the command at Zollicofer.
Since the above was written, we learn from gentle
man who present, that the fight at Brownsville
desperate one, and that most of men stood and
fought until they literally surrounded The 10th
Georgia Battalion suffered heavily, and escaped with
but small number of those who entered the fight. A
soldier informs that the women and children flying
and screaming through the fields while shells and
