THE BEAUFORT Posi- OFFIcE.-Among
the improvements in our town lately,
none, perhaps, is more noteworthy than
the change in the post Office. Some
weeks ago, the location was, removed
from Eyle's corner to the building nearly
opposite, on Bay street, between Douglas
6 Co.'s Military store and Adams EX-
press Office. This building has been
fitted with every convenience to facilitate
the prompt distribution and delivery OF
mail matter. There are 36 ."lock boxes"
and 96 numbered boxes also, separate
apertures for the box and general deliye-
~. Due attention has also been given to .
arrangements for regimental and hospital
mails. - ''''' .':5 ai
In the large front room of the office are
kept on sale the various newspapers and
periodicals of the day +; maps, military
books, novels, stationery, &C., &c. ,Ji. ,.

sistants, Messrs Candee and Logan, for

QUEEN EL1zABETH's LAST LovER.-The
ill-favored Anjou pleased Elizabeth more
than he did the people. The pulpit
echoed with objections made to unnatural
alliances; and pamphlets were published
of 80 offensive nature on this subject
that that stationers who put them forth
got their hands chopped off for their i'm
pertinence. And yet the people, pulpit
and pamphlets had their influence, not
withstanding. Anjou came q second
time, and tarried several months here,
till his patience was worn out, of his
power of stimulation was at an end. They
dallied, and pouted, and earessed, and
exchanged tokens, and caused much
jealousy, and seemed to be mutually
smitten, and finally parted forever. The
queen accompanied Anjou stage to stage
to Canterbury she returned to write
sonnets descriptive of her imaginary mis-
cries. And all for hideous fellow
whom his own sister loathed, and to
whom his most intimate. companion,
Busy d'Amboise, once SAID, "If l were
Alencon and you were Busy, wouldn't
heye you for lacquey."-CSart ena So

REAp1sG lOLD ABE's PRocLAMATIoS.T-
Brigadier- General Morgan informs me of
an incident that occurred on his line Of
operation that is too good, to be lost.
While his brigade occupied the gap be-
tween Oak Knob and Rocky Face,
a corporal of Co. ], Goth Illinois, broke
from the line, and under cover of pro-
iecting lodges, got up within twenty feet
of squad of rebels on tbs summit.
Taking shelter from the sharpsho ooters,
he cried out:
II say, rebs, don't you want to hear
Old Abe's amnesty proclamation"
eyes yes!" was the unanimous cry,
{" give us the Apes proclamation 2"
HAttention ~ commanded the corporal,
and In a clear and resonant voice he read
the amnesty proclamation to the rebels,
beneath the cannon planted by rebel
hands, to destroy the fabric OF govern
ment established by our fathers. When
he arrived at those passages of the pro.
clamation where the negro was referred
to, he was interrupted by cries of "none
of your id abolitionism. Look out for
rocks !' and down over his hiding place
descended shower of stones and rocks.
Having finished reading, the corporal
asked: 1
"Well, rebs, how do you like the
terms!r viii you hear it again?" ?
"Not to-day, you bloody Yank. Now,
crawl down In a hurry, and we wont
fire." was the response, and the daring
corporal descended and rejoined his COM
mand, which had distinctly heard all
that passed. Iregret to say / could not
learn the name Of the corporal, for he
must get promotion at the hands OF Fa-
ther Abraham and Govern Dick Yates.
