!! official information in relation to the attack
upon The gunboat Marhlehead in Stono In
let, on Christmas morning. The Marblcheal
was struck twenty times and much injured -
Her fnremast was cut and she has twelve shots
in her bull, one between wind and water.-
Eighteen shots struck on the upper works and
aloft. One 81 pound shell lodged in the steer
age, but did not explode which shows that
the Confedcrates had something more than
mere field pieces. It is reported that the
Confederat.s were finally compelled, however, to
retreat under the fire Of three gunboats, leav-
ing two of their guns in the batteries, which
were captured Charleston, it appears was
quite severely bombarded On Christmas morn
ing, and during the day fires are said to have
lroken out in different sections Of the town.

The New York journal Of Commerce has
strong article on the subject Of the corrup-
ton that exists in the T. S. and says that it is
WHOLESALE and that men now look calmly on
crimes from which they would have shrunk
two or three years ago. 1t complains very
much OF the too prevalent ductritie that II a
man processes to be right On the negro ques-
ton he may be as black a sinner on all other
questions as he pleases, and not lose the soclai
and public support OF either the leaders OF his
party or his daily associates In life.
In recent European journals it is stated that
the celebrated German theologlan David Fred
erich Strauss, who for many years has been
one of the ,ndefatigable opponents OF the
Christian faith, has recanted his doctrine, and
has Welded to the force Of the arguments
which his writings have elected from the hands
of able critics.

During one of the wars on the Continent
the news generally reached England by the
way of Hamburg. In order to affect the stock
market, the brokers so frequently manuiac-
tured the news that the public lest all conf

it became usual to indicate disbelief in a
startling piece of intelligence by calling it a
Hamburg" which, English-like, was soon
corrupted (via Hamburg) into "iHumbug'

wen with the meaning and use Of the word.
The frequency with which it is employed is
one OF the most striking features of our day.
