"Galley-EeWs."

There arc gossips found on board
of most men-of-war, who manufacture
news for the lovers Of that commodity
This news Is for the most part very com
plete in detail, told with the soberest
sir, and peldom fails to impose upon the
unwary. Because it originates in the
greasy steam Of the ships kitchen, il is
called ''galley-news, and it has this pc
cuiiarity, that il Is never true
As we read in the latest English Jour
nails accounts of recent military events
in this country, we are persuaded that
the inventive faculty is not confined to
ship-board, but is found also amongst
landsmen. According to our English
contemporaries, we over here have been
sadly deceived; Grant has gained moth
ing but heavy losses, and Lee has been
victorious in every field. The Saturday
Review assures us that
in fortnight from tke opening Of
the campaign General Grant has adj
vanced twenty miles, with loss Of per
hsps seventy thousand men. There is
no proof that any Of the glorious victo-
ries which have furnished the Northern
journals With subjects for congratula-
ton amounted even TO drawn battles.
IL would rather seem that in every en-
gagelnent Lee was more OF less success
ful, although he thought it expedient
to move somewhat nearer to Richmond
for the purpose Of securing his commu-
nicati0ps ~

The following story appears in the
Hartford (Ct) Times Of yesterday.
without editorial yerifcation; it is
probably hoax:
"Messrs Editors: Some years since
a discovery was made in this city, which
though at the time regarded as only Gu
rious, seems now in the light of the
present to be remarkable A few years
ago, an aged lady, a representative of a
family Of great repute in our colonial
DAYS and in the early history of our
State, died in this city Amongst the
estates which descended to her next of
kin was an old mansion situated on
Main street Her heir, who is q gentle
man now residing here, in looking over
the various things which had been &C.
cumulateing for more than a century
and stored away in the garrett, found
beneath pile Of rubbish a curisusly
carved inlaid old box The box is in
itself q great curiosity; the carving
upon It is very beautiful, and the whole
finish of il is exquisite The box was
good deal out Of repair, and in looking
il over for the purpose Of seeing what
was necessary to be done to renovate
il, upon one Of the interior divisions of
the box were found written on the wood
these inscriptions, which begin now to
assume the proportions Of a prophecy.
The first inscription Is
'0n July 18th, 1854,
Americas fate is fixed.
Beneath it, in Latin, these words.

Preceding these inscriptions Is
date, July 18th, 1865, and signed by the
name Of a gentleman who 81 that time
was distinguished inaabitant Of Hart

'It viii be observed that the date Of
this prophecy is ten years before the
Declaration of Independence, and at q
time when the Attachment OF the colo
mics to Great Britain was AZ its height
That these inscriptions were made at
the time they bear date there can be no

Mr.. EprroR: As tho time is approaching when
We may expect the Yankees to connmOncs their
operations on our soil, 1t is the suggestion Of pa
triotirm and prudence, to organize at once for
protection and defence. 1t is not improbable that
we may have Yankee raids shortly from the
Cons, and he line Of the Tennessee, and ditstrikes
me thattho psoplein the esovsral Districts, may aid
considerably in rspelling and chastsing these in-
solont and ruthless marauders. It viii BIO bur-
ming, aai lasting disgrace to those who have sons
and relatives in tho armies of Virginia and the
west, as we'll .. all others, that the able bedied
men above As st home, are unable, rmay be, un-
willing, to.protect their homes and preserve the
necessary subsistence for our soldiers, from the
clutches Of the enomy.
Organizations of men above forty five and boys
betwoea Sixteen and Eighteen, in the nature Of
Mouptod Infantry, in each District co-opsfating
by general understanding and signals, would
save our interior from loss and devastation.
