ian vessels and the tort commanding the
harbor The Florida has arrived a, Fortress
Monroe. The dispatches are contradictory
as to the action that will be taken by our
Government in the matter--one saving tha.
IN apology will be offered to the Brazilian
government, and another !hat Capt. Collins
will be sustained.
1t has been reported, confirmed, and then
denied, that Gen. Sherman had des.roysd
Atlanta and started across the country TO
attack Savannah. The latest dispatches re.
vivs the story. and say that he destroyed
everything of value at Atlanta, and at the
head Of an army of $4,000 men, including
$4,000 cavalry, splsndidIy equipped with all
the appliances of war, is on his way to cap
ture Andersonvile, Georgia, with its camp
Of Federal prsoners), and the city of Ssvan-
nah. The frat news from him is looked for
shr"ugh the Richmond papers.
From the fact that officers and soldiers on
furough are being recalled to the army Of
the Potomac, it is thought that Gen. Grant
will make one more attempt on Richmond,
before going into winter quarters.
The resignation of Gen. Mcclellan has
been accepted by the President, and Gen.
Sheridan has been appointed Major Gener'
al in the regular army, to fill the vacancy.
The n. Y. Times says that it is positively
asserted that Secretary Stanton will be ap-
pointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
and that Joseph Holt, of Kentucky, will sue.
ceed him in the War Department. 1t is also
rumored that Robert j. Walker will succeed
Mr Fessenden, as Secretary of the Treasury.
The loss Of Price, in his late invasion of
Missouri, is put down at $500 killed and
wounded, and 5000 prisoners; and the Fed
eral loss at 1900.
Major General Candy, commanding the
Trans Mississippi Department, WAS recently
wounded. seriously if no. mortaIly, while
travelling on gunboa,, on White River. Ar
kansas. by rebel sharpshooter Gen. Cam
by is ranked among the best officers in the
service.
An arrangement has been made at Savani
nah for he exchange of 10, 900 prisoners.
The Richmond papers say the result Of the
Presidential election in the North is de-
elaration in favor Of four years more OF war,
and therefore urge the Southern people to
think Of and prepare for war for an ndefu-
ite period.

leave it to the public if this murder is uota

THE FIDDLE.-The organ may be the KING
Of instruments. but the fiddle is the prime
minister. The very comparison is unfair; tor
the organ is l,rgs collection of instruments,
any one of which-that is. any one stop-is
nothing when compared to very moderate
performance on the violin. Nor could an or
gan Of five stops, the very te !. successfully
compete with the usual quartette OF stringed
Instruments, with double-base under all, to
give them substantial growl to stand upon.
The organ is, it must be allowed, sacred in
strument, for the use of St. Cecilia and the
heavenly choir above. and all the churches
which ara wise enough to use it here below.
The fiddle is the only instrument, we believe.
on which it is Of authentic record that the
Devil has played. We know that Burns has
represented him as performing on the bag
pipes, an instrument which should never be
sounded out of his own dominions; but this
ispoetry. The evidence Of Tartini is plain
prose; the Devil appeared to him in sleep.
and played 80 exquisite sonata that when he
awoke he could only put ON paper very dis.
tant imitation Of its internal beauty. And bis
faint recollection o: what Hamlet would call
blast from h-l" is acknowledged to be
one Of the best Of Tartini's works. 1t was act
ually proved. by the testimony Of an eye.wit-
ness, that At Vienna the Devil was seen be-.
