Near Two years ago a proIninent eiti-

jewel on the steps of the post-ofiice
II was evidently intended to be worn
IA a gentleman's breast pin, but wes so
strangely fashioned that its design could
not be fathomed by those TO whom it
was shown The principal part Of tho
ornament was a golden ring or CIRCLE,
the inner edge of which was covered
with Jet enamel, but coiled behind the
ring was tiny golden serpent, bright
and glittering, with two infinitessimal
diamonds set in its head for eyes. 1t
was beautifully wrought, and as work
of art, seemed to stand by itself, beyond
praise, but its hidden Specification was
too much for the inquisitorial powers
of all our heirarchs What could il

the finder Of the bauble, and he had
almost forgotten it, when the solution

FLEET OF STEAMERS ATTACKED

We are indebted to NJ W. Thatcher
a passenger on board the steamboat
Ella Faber, on her late trip down to
this city, from the Upper Cumberland
for fun particulars relative to a guerril
Ia attack upon feet of supply boats
on Friday last, at. about eleven o'clock,
at a point some twenty miles below
BurkesviHe, KY
The fleet consisted of the Ella Fa-
Der, the World, and Nettie Hartapee,
which had carried load of supplies
to Burnside Point, the head waters OF
navigation, and the depot from which
a large number Of troops in East Ten
nessee draw their rations; and were on
their return, having passed up unmoles
ted The fact that the boats were
without convoy became known TO q
band Of marauders, and they accord
ingly determined to destroy them; but
Gen. Rousseau, ever yigilant, became
informed of their presence, and de
signs, and sent the gunboat Newsboy
to their relief; and but for a fog, it would
have met them at Burkesyine, on Fri
day morning; but it was delayed, anc
the guerrillas, having posted themselve;
at point twenty miles below Burkes
vile, opened on the Ella Faber, which
was in the advance, Kidding her in 8
frightful manner; but fortunately in
juring no one. They were all on one
side Of the river, which enabled
those on board the boat to take
shelter. 1t likewise had on board 9
squad Of armed convalescents, who re
turned the fire, killing one of the vii
lains and one horse.
Soon after the firing commenced, q
detachment Of the llth Kentucky cav
airy came upon the opposite side of the
river, but the officers of the boat, fear
ing that they, too, were guerrillas, did
not heed their signals, but pushed on
through the storm of bullets, and pass
ed all danger, closely followed by the
World, which was also badly riddled.
The Nettie Hartapee, being a light
boat, and having on but little steam,
ran over to the opposite shore, and was
thus measurably protected from the
guerrilla fire, until the gunboat News
boy arrived, which it did in half an
hour more, when the woods and hills
were shelled, completely routing the
marauders
A cavalry force has been sent in
pursuit of the band; but of the result
we have no knowledge The number
of the guerrillas was about seventy
five

They Know Their Friends.

We have taken frequent occasion to
refer to the aid and comfort which cop
perheads extend to the rebels; and tc
the evident desire of the latter to SO
the former successful at the next Presi
Dental election; and we have given
numerous extracts from Southern pa.
pers, to show the depth of the sym.
pathy between the two factions OF
traitors
As the war goes on, and the cause of the
rebers gets more hopeless, their anxiety
on the subject increases. The Jackson
Mississippian, now published at At
lanta, referring to the subject says:
slave our neighbors read the Chicago
Times, New York Express, metropolitan
Record, Cincinnati Enquirer and various
other papers Of the North which are ex-
ponents Of the opposition 10 Lincoln2 Have
they read the speeches Of Bright, Voorhees,
Merrick and various othersg Have they
ever found in any Of these papers or speeches
= syllable that did not breathe the most
orthodox States rights doctrine, and un-
compromising opposition to coercion
These are the men we wish TO encourage
and these are the men whose success will
bring peace"
