Adventure with a Torpedo.

The steamer Whilden arrived at the foot
of King street on Saturday evening. She
is in Government service, and has just re-
turned from IA trip up James River. While
laying at anchor near Bermuda Hundred
the crew thought they would indulge in the
exciting business of angling SO the lines
were got ready and the fishing commenced.
The engineer of the vessel soon got a bite,
and pulled in a pretty stout wire. The
wire seemed to have something very heavy
attached to it, and soon a number of the
crew had hold of it. Pretty soon torpe-
do made its appearance at the surface of
the water, and it was very carefully hauled
on board. 1t was d very ugly looking
piece of furniture, and was carefully laid
away in safe place A few days after
the Captain of the Whilden was exhibiting
the machine to some visitors This,

The hospital steward of the Eighth died
at the post of Lieutenant Il, who,
acting in the capacity of Commissary Of
Subsistence for the garrison at the time,
was called upon by Captain R, COM
handing the post, to furnish three candles
to be placed on table in the room where
the corpse lay overnight previous to inter
ment. The demand for the candles being
imperative, the Lieutenant (wlthout first
consulting the Regulations as to the exact
number allowed for such occasions, as was
his usual custom) Immediately "forked
them over" During the night however,
he was somewhat troubled in mind, for fear
that injustice had been done to the depart

A SONG By Private Miles o,ReilLY.

AT the banquet to the Irish Brigade on Satur-
day, the following song, by Private Miles
0'Reilly, was sung to the air Of % The Low
backed Car, " and received much applause:
MILES REILLY ON THE NAYGUns.
Some tell us It's burnin' shame
To make the naygurs fight
An that the thrade of bein' kilt
Belongs but to the white;
But as for me upon my sowl
SO liberal are we here,
I'll let sambo be inurthered in place OF myself
On every day in the year
On every day in the year boys
And every hour in the day,
The right to be kilt | H divide wild him.
An divl word I II say.
Ia battles wild connection
shouldn' at all object
If Sambo's body should stop ball
That was comm for me direct;
And the prod OF Il Southern bagnet,
So liberal are we here,
III resign and let Sambo take it
On every day in the year
On every day in the year boys,
An wild none of Your nasty pride,
All my right in Southern bagnet prod
Wild Sambo I'll divide.
The men who object 10 Sambo
Should take his place and fight;
And it's betther to have naygur hue
Than liver that's wake an white;
Though Sambo's black as the ace OF spades,
His finger Trigger can pull,
Aud his eye runs straight on the barrel sights
From undher its thatch OF wool
Sc hear me all boys, darlings,
Don't think I'm tippin' You chat
The right to be kilt I'll divide wild him,
Aud give him the largest half

Of wars and strife to one of never-ending
sunshine and glory. Accordingly, on the
following morning his first business was to
consult the Regulations for light on the
subject, and after spending some two hours
and half in convincing himself fully that
his fears of the previous night were but
too we'll founded, he rushed almost breath
less y into headquarters, where were con-
gregated several officers and soldiers, and
exclaimed:
Captain - p
"Why, what's the matter, Lieutenant ?"
returned the Captain
''Te matter is tbs you vos entitled to
twenty nine and half bounts gantles more
as you cot lasht night for tie corps"
The Captain was somewhat amused at
the earnestness of the Lieutenant, as well
as at the absurdity of what he said, and
remarked,
you must be laboring under mistake,
Lieutenant
"No, Stree. by gracky mistake nit.
If not you pelieve me, ten | show you in
te Regulations what I show you. Yes,
Stree! I know vot I know I show
you"
And away he rushed for the book, re-
turning in few moments with it wide
open, and his finger upon the two first
lines on page PAT, which reads as follows,
with reference to the issue of candles:
ITO the headquarters of a division, 20
pounds. To the headquarters of corps,
30 pounds"
The Captain explained to him the differ
encc between corps and corpse to
which the Lieutenant answered,
ooh den dat is te way vot you take
him. Eth! | didn't mtershtand him So"
The laugh was on the poor fellow for
the hundredth time, and it is needless to
add that he immediately 'zwei glassed .

ut is one Of the most regrsIiul features OF
Mr. Fessehdso's report that he declares that
speeu lative transactions In gold have bad =
greater and mere delsterious influence than
the redundancy ofibe currency"
So says the Cincinnati Gazette. The
Gazette will find the same "regretful iea-
ture' in the report of the Comptroller Of
the currency. We add the comment which
the facts suggest, that it is one of the
most regretful features Of the present dis
trscted condition Of public affairs. that the
men invested with power are utterly be-
wldered at the ruinous condition OF things,
aud don't known what to do, or which
way to turn for relief. They found it an
easy matter to tear down the glorious edi-
fee of American prosperity and happi-
ness. But how TO reconstruct, or substi-
tute another for the magnificent system
which they have destroyed, is utterly and
wholly out Of their power.

The Great QuestIon.

The time is past, when the belief pre-
vailed that the fate OF the rebellion de-
pended on a single battle, or a single cam
paign. Even Republicans have grown
wiser, and they have grown less hopeful
precisely in the proportion that they have
acquired wisdom by experience. The day
has been, 'nor long removed the date, {"
when nine. tenths of them believed that
the capture oil a city, or triumph in a
battle known to be impending, would wipe
the Conlederacy ont OF existence. Little
by little, most reluctantly, they have at
last come to know that the Coniederacy is
a formidable power, welded by men of
great intellect, however iniquitous they
may be, and defended by armed hosts
whose stubborn bravery, and invincible
endurance have never been surpassed in
any age of the world. They have at last
learned, that when the wicked rebellion
is crushed, it will be after the adherng
States shall have combined all their re-
sources of men and money, and concentra-
ted all their force in long, bloody, and
persistently sustained war.
Sherman, brave and skillful General
is leading his hosts in Georgia. But nc
one anticipates that the campaign of Sher.
man, however brilliant may be its results
will suppress the rebellion. Grant is op
Grating before Richmond. But it is no Ion.
ger claimed that the capitulation of thu
rebel capital, would overthrow the Con
federacy. The President, the Cabinet
the Congress, the Republican newspaper
and speakers, all obviously, and withou
attempt at concealment, contemplate III,
duration of the war for years to come; snt
the people do not evince either surprise o
disappointment,
There is but one contingency that car
end the war short Of the utter exhaustion
of one or both of the combatants, anC
that is the breaking down of the Fedora
finances. The questiOns-the great ques
tions--which now most trouble thos
upon whom the Administration of III
Government and the prosecution of tn
war depend. are how to raise the enor
nous sums required, and how, meanwhile
to sustain the credit Of the currency wit
which the Government has flooded tn
country.
On these questions there is not only N
unanimity among those from whom solU
= ton is demanded, but no one of ther
seems to have a settled or well define
policy to present for the consideration {
others. The Secretary of the Treasury
afraid to commit himself further than
vague generalities, Congress is undeeiae'
