WOODEN NUTMEGs.-New London is res
ponsible for wooden nutmegs." Many
years ago a small trader sent from there a
few nutmegs to Beaufort, 5. G. A planter
named Bogart, seeing the nutmegs, bought
them at good price pleased with his pur-
chase, and being especially vain of having
choice delicacies at his table, he produced
for his guests those rare and somewhat cost
ly nuts But the nuts wouldn't crack, and
when broken open were found to contain no
meat, and the honest Connecticut Yankee
was cursed by the Carolina chiyalry as a
cheat for selling nutmegs without meats,
and which they therefore supposed were
made Of wood When our troops entered
Beaufort they still found the same prejudice
existing against nutmegs and Yankees.

been doubt whether she was destroyed by
the buccaneer or supplied with crew, TO
take part in the rebel scheme of plundering

doubt is now solved ty the publication of
the Florida log, by which it appears that
the Electric Spark was sunk at sea by the
privateer on the 10th Of July last.

ATIMPT TO BLOW Up ONE OF THE SOUND
SrEAxERs.-The rebel emissaries at work in
New York have not confined their attempts
solely to the destruction of that city. Mon
day a torpedo was found in one of the berths
of the Sound steamer City of New London.
The fuse had been lit, but had become extin-
guished before the torpedo was ignited, and
the hellish design OF the perpetrators provi-
dentlally frustrated. Ii is thought that just
before the City Of New London started on
her regular trip from NewYork, some person
entered the boat, placed the torpedo in the
berth, lighted it. and returned on shore.

To a Generous Public /:
SPRINGFIELD, Mass,
Nov. q, 1864.

o O GentTOut IuOttc
During the summer Of 1862, the numbers of
sick and wounded soldiers passing through
Springfield began to attract attention, and their
condition and necessities to demand sympathy
and assistance The battles Of the previous
campaigns had filed the hospitals located near
the fields Of conflict, and each succeeding en-
gagement necessitated the removal Of sick and
wounded men northward. The location Of
Springfield, at the junction Of two main lines Of
railroad communication, brought large numbers
through the city. Organized effort for the re-
lief of these men, resulted in the establishment
Of the Soldiers Rest"
During the Fall and Winter Of 1868, small,
cheap building, and comparatively small
amount Of labor, we're sufficient to care for
those who needed assistance at this point But
the opening of the spring campaign of 1864, in
the sanguinary battles of May, brought respon-
,ihilities which tasked our little organization to
the utmost. To meet these, large building
va. erected, fitted and furnished, and the ag-
yregate result Of our efforts may be appreciated
in stating the single fact. that up to the present
tine, there have been received and cared for at
the Rest, nine thousand fIrO hundred and forty
three men, and more than ten thousand dollars
have been expended in building, labor, supplies,
fuel, food, medicine and medical attendance for
the relief Of these men, which expense mas hth-
erto been mainly borne by the citizens offspring
held. Scarcely any of these men have been our
our townsmen. Over 5000 Of this number have
oeen VERMONT soldiers The rest have been
soldiers of New Hampshire, Maine, Northern
New York and Western Massachusetts,
The demand upon US continues unabated, and
al no point can more be done for the suffering
solder. 1t is proposed to raise funds to sup
port the institution the coming year by SOL
DlERS' FAIR, to be held in the city Hall.
