The 7. s. Navy Department has received
me following from Com. Farragut:

,be following from Com. Farragut:
FLAGSHIP HARTFORD,
New ORLEANS, Jan. %, 1863.
S;r herewith enclose the report OF Acting
Noster T. 4, Hannum. Of the Harriet Lane,
br which YOU will perceive the exaggeratlons
rbich have been circulated concerning the
5afanca Of that vessel; also, the pusillanlmous
sondnct Of the officer who accompanied the
4og of truce, and corroborated TO Lieut.. Com.
Iaw the ene,ny's statement, that all the officers
and and, crew Of the Harriet Lane had perished,
. cave some ten or fifteen persons; whereas there
xare scarcely that number of killed and woun-
ded, Take it for granted that OF the nlne
SLIGHTLY wounded the greater part amounted TO
nothing. 50 that the testimony OF the rebel pl-
lot was very near the truth when he said i've
killed aud six or eight wounded.
cannot think but that for the death OF
Com Wainwright and Lieut.. Com. Lee, the
vessel could not have been captured. 1t IS
difficult. however, to CONCEIVE more pus'lllan
imous surrender OF a vessel to an enemy
already in our power, than occurred III the
case Of the Harriet Lane.

But what if it does, Philip? In

use of dying rich? And there's Harry
and his wife will spend rs fast as John
can make. Then just sec what lif;
Ellen leads; she is looking after the ser
wants from morning till night, yet they
break, and injure, and destroy, for al
that. You can't be serious"

discourse upon?"
The usual topic here: bad servants
and high markets, and how particular Mr.
Mcars was about his table

over, and the difference in English and
American mutton discussed. Then the
stocks and price current, and, Of course
the everlasting subject Of wine, never

Finding that he could not influence
his brother.in-law to embark capital in

suffered them to depart in peace. For
himself, he was blind to the inroads that
were daily made on his health, disposi-
ton, aud domestic happiness by all this
heaping up treasure. lie Intended to
stop some time and enjoy himself and his
fortune, but that time never seemed to
come. The Masons watched the gains
and losses, the gathering and scattering
abroad, from their country-house, where
plenty and simplicity were united. Their
lives were not frettcd by daily recurring
annoyances and accidents, or shortened
by corrodins care. Their treasures had
long been accumulating where neither
moth nor rust could intrude.

The Old Farm House.

At the foot Of the hill near the old rcd mill,
In quiet, shady spot,
Just peeping thro half hid from view,
Stands little moss grown cot;
And straying through at the open door,
The sanbeams play on the sanded MOOR
The easy chair, all patched with care,
Is placed by the old hearth stone;
With witching grace, in the old fireplace,
The evergreers are strcwn'
And p;c,ures hang on the whitened wall,
And the old clock ticks in the cottsge hall.
More lovely STILL on the window sill,
The dew eyed flowers rest.
While midst :he leaves, on the moss grown
caves,
The martin builds her nest.
And all day long the summer breeze
Ia v xhispcring love to the bending trees.
Over the door all covered o'er
With sack Of dark green baise.
Lies musket old. whose worth is told
In the events of other days;
And the powder flask, and the hunters hsrn,
Have hung beside it for many morn.
For years have fed. with noiseless tread.
Like fairy dreams away.
Aud left in their flight, all shorn Of his might.
A fat.er-old and gray;
And the soft wind plays with his snow-white
hair.
As the old man sleeps in his easy chair.
In at the door. on the sanded floor,
Light. fairy footsteps glide,
And a maiden fair, with haxen hair,
Kneels by the old mans side
An old oak wrecked by the angry storm.
While the ivy clings 10 its trembling form.

A Photographer in Trouble

wv. - 80 AS'"1SS 'aN"H
Mississippi, gives an account OF his ex-
animation by vigilance committee, of
whom the chairman was Parson Lock, a
Methodist brother. The parson examined
his brother parson as to his soundness ION
the goose" AS follows;
" Parson Aughey, you have been re-
ported to us as holding Abolition senti-
mcnts' and as being disloyal to the Con-
Tolerate States
" Who reported me, and where are
your witncsse, ~
Any one has a right to report. and it
is optional whether he controuts the ac-
cused or not The proceedings of vigi-
committees are sometimes informal"
Proceed, then, with your trials in
your own way"
I'VE propose to ask you few ques-
tions, and in your answers you may de.
tend yourself or admit your guilt. In
the first place, did you ever say that you
did not believe that God ordained the in
s,i,ution Of slavery"
Il believe that God did not ordain
the institution OF slavery.
You are known to be an adept in
photography, and you are reported to be
a correspondent Of an Abolition phono-
graphic journal"
II understand the science of phono-
graphy, and | AN correspondent OF a
photographic journal but the journal es-
chews politics"
Another member Of the committee then
interrogated me.
Parson Aughey, what is punnyogra-
phy?,
"Phonography, sir, is a system of
writing by philosophic alphabet, COM
posed Of the simplest geometrieal signs,
in which one mark is used to represent
one and invariably the same sound"
Ken you talk punnyography? ? and
where does them people live what talk
il ?"
Yes. sir, converse auently in phono-
graphy, and those who speak the language
live in Columbia"
"lu the District -
No, sir; in the poetical Columbia. "
was next interrogated by another
member of the committee.
Parson Aughey, is photography an
abolition fxin ?"
No sir; photography, abstractdley
considered, has no political complexion;
it may be used to promote either side OF
any question, sacred or proiane, mental,
moral, physical or political
"Well, you ought to write and talk
plain English, what common folks can
understand, or we'll have to say of you,
what Agrippa said of Paul, "Much learn
ing hath male the mad" Suppose you
was to preach in phonography. who'd un.
derstand it who'd know what was piped
or harped? I'll bet some Yankee invent
ed it to spread his abolition notions un.
derhandedly. l, for one, would be in IA
vor of maxim the parson promise to write
and talk no more in photography. III
bet photography is agin slavery. tho l
never hear tell of it before. I'm agin
all secret societies. I'm agin the odd fell
lows, free masons, sons Of temperance,
good templars and photography. | want
to know what's write and what's talking
You can't throw dust in my eyes. Ehono-

to-day, is again the Confederate States
