JeG. Davis at Home.

That amiabIe journal, the Richmond Ex-

Jefferson Davis in an article on the Con-

The rebels have succeeded in destroying
another Of our steamers in Florida by =
torpedo. We refer to the General Hunter,
stout, handsome, very fast light drsught
transport vessel, which has been on SER
vice about year and q hslf in the Depart
ment of the South. She was plying in the
st. Johns river when she was blown up,
and the affair occurred just at the point
where the Maple Leaf was recently de-
stroyed by the same means. Ii is just as
well that there will be no further occasion
for our vessels to navigate that stream at
the present. 1t is always perilous for our
boats 10 navigate rebel streams whose
banks are not commanded by our troops.
Even if so commanded there is peril, but
much less thsn otherwise
There is proof, both experimental and
other, that the rebels have extensive
schemes Of ns7sloperstion by the torpedo
They have lately made three trials, two Of
which have been successful and some re-
Gently captured rebel correspondence con-
tanned plans and details for action in this
line, on large scale, upon the western
rivers and Southwestern coast line. Ad-
mirsl Porter, in transmitting this CORES
pOndence, says that the rebel authorities
have just appointed q Torpedo Corps, for
the purpose of blowing up property Of all
kinds" 1t only requires that our naval
officers and our inventors should be fully
spprised Of the rebel purposes, to secure
the adoption Of means for thwarting it's
success.-Ne1o York Times.

The interests of patriotism and potatoes
are rarely brought into conflict with each
other. That, however, is not the case now.
Twenty-Five thousand Of the volunteer
militia Of Ohio are to take the field one
week from this fine, and be employed dur
ing the season Of planting and harvesting
here in the North. In some places this
demand will fall heavily upon the far
mers. Take, for instance, the townships
of Perry and Madison in Lake County.
These are great potstoe townships. At
least 300 car loads were shipped from these
townships last year. They are also pa
triotic. The new call takes as many as
one hundred men from these townships.
They are pstriotic and will go. But who
viii see to the potstoe interest The ladies
Of course. They have resolved to carry on
the agriculture while their husbands,
brothers, sons and lovers carry muskets.
They intend to respond to calls made on
their patriotism, and also TO calls on their
potatoes.
Nov, wecommend these women to others.
There are thousands of women to whom it
would be lasting benefit to spend pOr,
tioa Of their time in the highly honorable
tasks Of agriculture. Health, strength,
better wages, patriotism, all the dire ne
cessities of an imperilsd country, call for
such cooperation. We have no doubt
whatever but the race would be greatly
benefited by a transfer Of dawdling and
delicate young women from the psrlOr to
The hsyheld, TO the cOrnheld, to the pota-
tOefeld, TO health giving labor, blue skies,
the songs Of birds. the ripping Of musical
waters, communion with the cherishing
mother Of sll, dear, beautiful, Dame Nature.
What say you, ladies, on patriotism and

ARsm.rkabIe MIIItnry Company.

Co. D Of the Attn Ps. regiment is re-
msrkable company. The following differ.
ent sets are found in it. Four brothers
and cousin by the name of Powell; four
brothers Brady; three brothers Bsltzer
three brothers Krosier; the brothers and
brothers .in-law Of the captain Harper ;
two brothers and a cousin shafFer; father
and two sons Tag; six pairs Of brothers
Clay, Charles, Reynolds, Vance, Anthony,
and Yertig; and two step-brOthers.
These men slI hail from Perry county,
Pennsylvsnis. They are mainly Of the
old Holland stock, and lived within cir
emit Of fifteen miles. They are all re-en-
listed men but two or three.
The company has been out over two
years. most Of the time at the extreme
Southern posts. During eighteen months
they lost but one man by sickness. They
kent up strict sanitary regulations, COM
muted their rations of salt meat for fresh
meat and vegetables, aud saved by the op-
GRAFTON from one hundred TO one hundred
and thirty dollars q month, with which
they made company fund, appointing the
captain treasurer, and out Of which what.
ever knick-knsoks were needed could be
purchased. They always ate at table,
which Iney nXed with CROSS sucKs, ana had
their food served from large bowls, each
man having his place, IS at home, which
no one else was allowed to occupy. While
the men were here they showed that they
were sober, cheerful, intelligent men, who
had put their hearts into their work. and
did not count any privstions or sacrifices
as too great, If only the life Of the country
might be thereby maintained During the
whole term Of their service, they have NOT
had man court-msrtisled.
They are commanded by Capt. Henry D,

THE OPPOSITION SIDE.

Here are men who are evidently in the
habit of speaking to large masses Of peo-
pie, and in the habit Of doing it well. Mr..
Bright is indeed the only man in the
House who could be called an orator. His
appearance is fine, his manner good and
frank, his voice earnest and clear. Cool
and calm he always is, but not so the to-
ries who listen to him; on them every
word tells. Golden is more elastic and
more caustic; in manner not unlike Or.
Bellows, when that gentleman is so for
tunate as to be speaking without his gown
in some informal assembly. Another pc
culiarity OF this Independent section is
that its benches are nearly always full.
It is q curious fact that out Of the 900
members Of the House not more than 300
ever see the inside Of that House, and so
many only when some special struggle-e.
e, on church rstes-requires every party
to be present in force. The rest are mere
ly nominal members, and the business of
the Government is carried on by some $50
or 200 men. None are in any way obliged
to be present They are paid nothing.
They many spend year in America or
China and retain membership. But those
who represent the people are regular in
attendance, because they have an interest
in the Government and purpose before
them.
There are some, however, in the House,
who are frequently seen there, but who
rarely take part in sny debate; they seem
to enjoy the House SIS a club There, for
instance, is Bulwer, little grssshOpper
Of q mar; one wonders how Thsckersy
found enough Of him for dissection: he
generally sits near the Opposition, and on
that side; but he never says anything,
though he looks wise.
The fne-loOking and vigorous Mr.. King
lake now attracts much attention. he sits
in the same neighborhood, and the Govern
ment evidently feels restless when he
criticises. He is an earnest man, and will
one day be a more important man in the
country than he is now Conway IN Re'O
