napier and his Word.

Sir William Napier was one day taking
q long country walk near FreshfoTd, when
he met little girl, about five years old,
sobbing over broken bowl; she had drop
ped and broken it in bringing it back
from the field to which she had taken her
fathers dinner in it, and she said she
would DO beaten On her return home for
having broken it; then with a sudden
CLEAN of hope, she innocently looked up
into his face and said; "But co can mend
it esn't ee2 My father explained that
he could not mend the bowl, but the troU-
bic he could, by the gift Of a sixpenee to
buy another. However, on opening his
purse, it was empty Of silver, and he had
to make amends By promising to meet his
little friend in the same spot st the same
hour next dsy.
The child, entirely trusting him, went on
her way confoTted. On his return home
ne found an invitation awaiting him tc
dine in Bath the following evening, tc
meet some one whom no specially wished
70 see. He hesitated for some little time
trying TO calculate the possibility of giving
the meeting to his little friend of the
broken bowl and of still being in time FOL
the dinner party in Bath; but finding
this could not be, he wrote to decline &c
eepting the invitation on the plea Of pre-
engagement, saying TO us l cannot dis
sppoint her; she trusted me implicitly"

Sherman's and Slocum's headquarters

Ths demand for the surrender was made
on the 18th, and Sherman closed his dis.
patch with Hoods words to the negro
troops at Dalton, to the effect that if his
demand was not complied with, he would
take no prisoners. Hsrdee replied that he
could and would hold the city.
Sherman then proceeded to complete
has investment Of the city, but owing to
the swamps on the north side, could moi
~ once extend his lines in that direction.

until the month of April, being prevented
! from coming by sickness in his family.
The question of q successor to Mr.. Day
ton exciteJ lively interest and much discus
sion. There is good authority for saying
that Senator Sumner is not q candidate for
this post, and that he is lending the weight
of his influence to another name Mr..
Bigelow is being pressed.
The HeTalds Washington special says
Since Sherman started from Atlanta IL ,O00
rebel prisoners have been exchanged, and
during the same time we have captured
nearly $4,000 of the enemy. At this rate
three months further continuance of war
will give US the whole rebel force as pris-
oners.
There is much anxiety felt here in refer
enee to the Wilmington expedition, as the
delay caused by the storm has undoubtedly
been improved by the rebels to strengthr n
the position. It's expected, however, that
some important information will be re-
ceived tomorrow in reference to the expe-
dition. There is no doubt but that des-
perate attack will be made, and if within
the bounds of possibility success will at
tend.
The Worlds Washington special says
Official information from Nashville states
that Hoods losses, from the 18th TO the
23d inst are as follows: Killeo, 1850 /;
wounded, 9,72O; prisoners, exclusive of the

ports that force of the enemys infantry,
artillery and cavalry has moved from sa-
vannah towards Allsmaha river. General
Hsrdee has made a proper disposition to
check the column. It's object is probably
to destroy the Savannah Albany and Gulf
Railroad, its depots, &c.
10 report has been received from Gen
eral Hoods army since the 2sth of No

WnArNePoN, N. c., Dec. 25.-The en-
emys feet of over fifty vessels, including
two monitors, several armed vessels, and
many heavily armed frigAtes and sloops-
of-war, made furious attack on Fort Fish
er about one o'clock yesterday, and kept
up an average fire of thirty shots per min
ute until night. Our loss is twenty-three
wounded. The attack was renewed at ten
o'clock this morning, and has been very
furious and continuous. No report of cas-
ualties to-day.
Colonel Lamb, who is in command OF
the fort, replied to the enemy's fire slowly
and deliberately.
The enemy, under cover of the heavy
fire, landed about three brigsdes two and
