loss of l08 lives.
The number of disasters in 1855 was 567, and

Happy Accord.

There seems to have been a very happy ac-
cord in number of instances of late between
our own Government and that of Great Britain.
The British Government, few weeks ago, sent
instructions to Lord Lyons to ask immediate ex-
planation and redress for the violation of British
neutrality by the American gunboat Ellie &
Annie pursuing the Chesapeake pirate into the
harbOr of Halifax; but we have the word of Mr..
Layard, in the House of Commons for saying
that long before this demand had reached the
United States, an ample and satisfactory apollo
gy for the violation in question had been offer
ed by the American Secretary of State.
In addition to the above, we now learn from
England that the British Government has Just
sent out demand for the restoration of the bark
Saxon, captured by the Vanderbilt off the coast
of Africa; but our legal columns gave evidence
that Judge Belts, of the United States District
Court issued decree on Thursday last restor-
ing the Saxon to her owners.
We could wish that our just demands from
time to time upon the British Government were
thus promptly, or rather in advance accorded

A Hit at Mcclellan.


A Washington correspondent writes:
Mr.. Grinnell, of Iowa, made saucy and very
readable speech in the House on Saturday.
One of his anecdotes | must quote:
"He passed out of his way to traduce one of
the Generals of fthe national army. He calls him
the monster Burnside Why has that gallant
officer drawn upon his head the vials of the gen.
tlemans wrath? Is is because General Burnside
was always in the front of his army and was ev-
er ready to fight? A friend of mine who hap
pened to have two sons in the army once said TO
me that / should not talk so much against Nc
Clellan, for, said ne, he is a man that love =
l asked him what he had done. The reply was,
He is friend of mine. l have had two sons
under him for many many months in the army,
and they have come home without scratch,
thank God That is the condition ofthe Gene
raj himself As understand he has never been
in the range of musket-ball or cannon-shot; and
he is worthy of the gentleman's compliments" I"

jeremiah Clemens, an old Democrat, in a I'm

Alabama was dragged into the rebellion:
in 1861, said Mr.. c., shortly after the
Confederate Government was put into operation,

stepped into the office of the Secretary of War,
General Walker, and found there engaged in a
very exciting discussion, Mr.. jefferson Davis,
Mr.. Memminger, Mr.. Benjamin, Mr.. Gilchrist,
a member of our legislature from Lowndes
county, and number of other prominent gem
tlemen. They were discussing the propriety of
Immediately opening fire on Fort SUMTER to
which General Walker, the Secretary of war;
appeared to be opposed. Mr. Gilchrist said TO
him: Sir, unless you sprinkle blood in the
face of the peopleof Alabama, they will be back
in the old Union in less than ten days!" The
next day General Beauregard opened his bate

The Iuiiders Tesrimonr to the Bible,

There was society of infdels in Paris who
used to meet one evening every week, to dis
cover the absurdity of the Bible" and to make
it the object of their ridicule. The celebrated
Diderot was a member of this association; but it
was observed that he did not engage with as
much interest as was expected in their blasphe-
nous amusement. AT length one evening, af-
ter they had read some portions of the Gospel,
he suddenly began to say, with an unusual grav-
ity, However it may be with this Book, gen
tlemen, l freely confess on behalf of the truth,
that l know no one, neither in France, nor in
the whole world, who is able to speak and write
with more tact and talent than the fishermen
and publicans who have written these narra-
tives. l venture to assert that none of us is ca
pable of writing, even approximately, tale
which is so simple and at the same time so sub
lime, so lively and affecting, and of such pow
erful influence on the mind, and possessing such
unweakened and pervading effect after the lapse
of ceturies, each individual account of suffer-
ings of Jesus Christ, in the Book before u.s.
He ceased; all at once, instead of the laughter
which shortly before had rung through the hall,
general and profound silence ensued. The
truth of the speech was felt. The company si-
lently broke up, and it was not long before the

Honorable Conditions.

Many years ago in what is now fourishing
city in this State lived a stalwart blacksmith,
fond of his pipe and his joke. He was also fond
of his blooming daughter, whose many graces
and charms had ensnared the affections of a sus-
ceptible young printer. The couple, after a sea-
son of billing aud cooling, engaged" themselves,
and nothing but the consent of the lady's "par-
ent" prevented their union.
To obtain this an interview was arranged
and the typo prepared little speech to aston
ish and convince the old man, who sat enjoying
his favorite pipe in perfect content. Typo di-
lated upon the fact of their long friendship their
mutual attachment, their hopes for the future,
and like topics; and taking his daughter by the
hand, said: Il now, sir, ask your permission to
transplant this beautiful flower from its parent
bed''-but his ''phelinx'' overcame him, he for
got ottheremainder ofhis oratorical flourish, blush
ed, stammered, and finally wound up with
'from its parent bed, into nay ol0E." The faith
er keenly relished the discontinue of the suit
or, and after removing his pipe and blowing a
cloud replied:

RebeI Gro,rI I'm GeorgIn.

Gov. Brown, who has been reelected Execu-
tive of Georgia, is not satisfied with the manner
in which things are progressing in the Confed-
eracy. In his recent message he denounces the
compulsory funding of $7,O0O,OOO in forty days
at diminished rate of interest, as an act of bad
faith. The discussion of important measures in
secret sessions of Congress is declared blight
ing curse, convenient for concealing what will
not bear the light. He declares the new Militia
ry Bill unconstitutional, and says the conscrip-
ton of citizens will not fill the army, but they
will stay at home on detail, thus depriving the
State of an active military, placing civil rights
subordinate TO the military powers and finally
gives it as his belief that negotiation, and moi
the sword, must terminate our difficulties
