JEFF. DAVIS on THE MILITARY STU.
AT1oN.-The Richmond papers give ac-
counts of the Confederate Congress, and
publish the recent message of jeff Davis,
in which lie says: "The recent events of
the war are highly creditable to our troops
exhibiting energy and vigilence combined
with the habitual gallantry which they
have taught us to expect on all occasions.
We have been cheered by important and
valuable successes in Florida, Northern
Mississippi, Western Tennessee and Ken
lucky, Western Louisiana and Eastern
North Carolina, rejecting the highest
honor on the skill and conduct of our
commanders, and on the incompatible
soldiers whom it is their privilege to lead.
A naval attack on Mobile was so success
fully repulsed at the outer works that the
attempt was abandoned, and the nine
months siege of Charleston has been prac-
tically suspended, leaving the noble city
and its fortresses imperishable monuments
to the skill and fortitude of its defenders.
The armies in Northern Georgia and
Northern Virginia still oppose, with un-
shaken front, formidable barrier to the
progress of the invader and oru generals,
armies and people are animated by cheer
full confidence.

REBELS SURPRIsED.-A correspondent
of the Boston Journal, writing from the
Army of the Potomac, gives an account
of serious blunder of the rebels and its
fatal consequences to them: L" An Incl
dent will show the nature of the fighting
on the left in the underbrush. A regi-
ment from New York, I believe, was ad-
vancing when they came upon the flank
of another regiment. The colonel COM
manding thought that it was regiment
of another brigade, as many Of the men
wore the National blue. A captain saw
that they were rebels. He called the at
tcntion of the Colonel to the unmistakable
sign-the butternut-colored pantaloons.
The commander of the rebel regiment saw
the Union forces, and halted his men.
The Union commander did the same. In
the same breath that he gave the word to
halt, he added, without using the CUSTOM
ary words of command, "Oblique, fire !"
The rebels were raising their pieces, but,
like q stroke of lightning, the instantane-
Gus volley tore through the ranks. 1t
was as if q mover with his scythe had
struck them down. More than two-thirds
of the rebel regiment fell before that volley.
Those who escaped unframed made no
attempt to retreat, and every man was
taken prisoner In an instant q rcgi-
ment was taken out of the rebel line, and
gap made which destroyed the form of
the movement.

TAKEN IN.-An inkeeper at Toulon has
been made the victim of sharper, on the
occasion of q visit of Alexander Dumas,
the younger, to that town. The Boniface
was waited on by a stranger, who after
obtaining promise of profound secrecy,
declared that he had been sent by Dumas
to request the loan of a certain sum o.
money, as a security for which he offered
a note of hand signed "AleXandre Du-
mas, fils," and manuscript which he
said was an unpublished work by that
author. The innkeeper, delighted at the
idea of obliging such parsonage, ad-
vanced the money, and at once sat down
to enjoy his literary treasure; but from
its style he did not find it to respond to
the description given by the stranger, and
he began to have some doubts of the gen.
uineness of the work, and consequently OF
the signature of the bill. Those misgiv-
ings were most unpleasantly confirmed on
his applying to Dumas, and learning that
he has been cheated by an impudent i'm
postor.

The people of the United States have
been much criticised in England for their
careless manner of building heavy works
of masonry, and for the reckless manner
in which human life, through this, and
other agencies, are exposed; but England,
we are sorry to say, has just been visited
with a much worse calamity than that at
Lawrence, Mass, or any other one Of
which we have any knowledge. The acci-
dent by flood at Sheffield, where small
branch of the Don had been damned,
like the Croton, to form reservoir for
the supply of the town, and where the
lake, formed by what was proved an in
sufficient embankment, was nearly hun
dred acres in extent, and where the water
swept down the valley, carrying away
scores of dwellings, and drowning some
three hundred persons, who were asleep
in their beds, exceeds anything of the
kind we have ever read. The destruction
of property, all the way to Doncaster, is
roughly estimated at half a million of
pounds sterling.

LUDIcRous.-The following curious
string of puns is taken from scarce work
published in the reign OF James l. A di-
vine, more willing to play with words
than to be serious in expounding his text,
spoke thus in his sermon: This dial shows
that we must die all; yet, notwithstand-
ing, all houses are turned into alehouses
our cares are turned into cares; our para
disc into a pair O. dice; matrimony INTO
matter O. money; and marriage INTO
merry age; our divines become dry vines ;
it was not so in the days of Noah-Ah,
no!

THE HISTORY OF HAIL CoLUMBIA.-ln
the Summer of 1853 young man, con-
nected with the theatre at Philadelphia as
a singer, was about to receive benefit on
a certain Monday evening. On the Sat
urday afternoon previous he called on
Joseph Hopkinson, a rising young lawyer
rs years of age, with whom he had gone
to school when both were boys. The ac-
tor said he had but twenty boxes taken,
and his benefit would be loss unless he
could get patriotic song written to the
" Presidents March," then popular air.
The poets of the theatrical corps had tried
their hands, but were satisfied that no
words could be made to suit that air.
Hopkinson promised to make the attempt.
At that time there was great discussion
in the country as to the policy of America
joining either France or England IN the
war then waged between those two ma
tons, and party spirit ran very high.
Hopkinson endeavorcd to write song
that should be independent ot and aboVt
the interests, passions and policy OF both
belliserents, and look and feel exclusively
for American honor and rights. be
wrote Hail Columbia. 1t was announced
on Monday morning. and the theatre was
crowded to excess, and SO continued dur
ing the season, the song being encored
and repeated many times each night, the
audience joining in the chorus. 1t was
also sung at night by large assemblies of
citizens, including members of Congress,
and has ever since been National song.

FooLISG GARIBALDI WoRsHIPPERs.-
A party of English ladies had arrived at
the chief hotel, having come as deputa-
ton from some Heaven knows what as
sociation in England, to see the General,
and make their own report on his health,
his appearance, and what they deemed his
prospects ofperfect recovery. When their
demand for admission was replied to by
reference to the general order excluding
all visitors, they Indignantly refused to be
classed in such a category. 1t was Mt this
critical emergency that all inventive gen.
ius developed itself. There was amongst
the suit of Garibaldi an old surgeon, Rap
ari, one of the most faithful and attached
of all his followers, and who bore that
amount of resemblance to Garibaldi which
could be impaired by hair, moustachc and
beard of the same yellowish-red color, and
eyes somewhat closely set. Toput the
doctor in bed, and make him personate
the General, was the plan--a plan which,
as it was made to save his chief some an
noyance, he would have acceeded to were
it to cost him far more than was now in
tended. To the half-darkened room,
therefore, where Rapari lay dressed in his
habitual red shirt, propped up by pillows,
the deputation was introduced. The
sight of our hero was, however, too much
for them. One dropped, Madonna-wise,
with hands clasped across her bosom, at
the foot of his bed; another tainted as
she crossed the threshold; a third gained
the bedside to grasp his hand, and sank
down III an ectacy of devotion TO water it
with her tears; while the strong-minded
woman of the party took out her scissors
and cut four several locks off that dear
and noble head. They sobbed over him
they blubbered over him-they COM
pared him with his photograph, and de-
clared he was ibeled-they showered
cards over him to get his autograph;
and when, at length, by persuasion, not
unassisted by mild violence, they were
induced to withdraw. they declared that,
for those few minutes of ectacy, they'd
have willingly made pilgrimage to Nee
