Attempt to Destroy the Frigate Mime
sofa.

New YORK, April r.
The HeraLd's Fort Monroe despatch re-
ports that during the attempt, Saturday
morning, to destroy the frigate Minnesota,
an apparently floating spar approac he'd her,
and getting near was ascertained to be a
boat with three men in it. The lookout warn
ed them of, but they pushed boldly for the
trigate and in few moments an explosion
similar to twenty cannon was heard. The
vessel shook as if with paralysis and the
crew tumbled out of their hammocks When
the confusion subsidized, orders were given to
pursue the daring rebels, but the Admirals
despatch tug lying alongside had no steam
up. The other tugs on picket were too far to
be of use, as the marauders rapidly disap-
peared up one of the creeks Astounding in
the James River. The damage by torpedo
was very trifling and has been repaired.
The Times has a letter from the U. S.
Arkansas, dated New Orleans. I'd,
reporting that the reble steamer Clifton,
formerly U. S. gunboat of that name, while
to run the blockade at Sabine
Pass on the night Of the 21st of March, with
700 bales Of cotton, got aground on the bar,
where she remained unmoveable, and was
burned to prevent her falling into our hands.
She was totally consumed.
A large side-wheel steamer, with 1000
arms for the rebel government had run into
the port of Velasco after being driven off
Galveston by our fleet. She got aground in
Velasco Bay, and blockading gunboat at
tempted to capture her but was driven off
by the rebel shore batteries, whose guns
were of longer range than her own. The
blockade runner subsequently got off and
proceeded into port. Deserters report that
she has been loaded with l, 100 bales of cot
ton and is waiting an opportunity to run
out. Our vessels are on the watch to catch
her.
The Heralds army of the Potomac dis
patch reports that the bridges are repaired
and trains running.
Grant left Culpepper and arrived at Wash
ington at II o'clock.
Heavy rains will still further delay the

Writing COmpositions.

A school.naster told one Of his smaller
BOYS that he wanted him to write conpo-
sition.
go, l can't, sir, don't know how" said
the boy, in the greatest trouble.
"But you can think, can't you ?" said the
master.
40, yes, sir"
"And you can write words, can't you ?"
Yes sir"
''Weli, just think about something, and
write down what you think, and bring it to
me-"
SIS that all? ''
"Yes, that will be a composition. Now
I will excuse you for little while, and you
may take your slate and go out, and the
first thing you find that Interests you, you
think about it-what it is there for, what it
is good for and what will become of it, etc.
and write it down and bring it to me-"
The little boy went out, and, after looking
about sometime, he at last came across
large turnip behind the barn, growing
among some weeds, He stood and looked
at it few moments, and, though he never
dreamed he was to become distinguished
poet, his thoughts began to come to him in
a simple rhyme, and he wrote them down
thus:
Mr.. Finney had turnip,
And is grew behind the barn;
And it grew and it grew,
But itnever did any harm.
And it grew, and it grew.
Till it could grow no taller;
Then Mr. Finney pulled it up
And put it in the cellar.
And it lay. and itlay,
Till it there began to rot
And his daughter Susy washed it,
And she put it in the pot.
And it boiled and it boiled
As long as twas able
Then his daughter Lizzie took il up
And putt on the table,
Mr.. Finney and his wife.
They both sat down TO sup,
And they eat, and they eat,
Till they eat the turnip up

entered the army again in good health
One man writes he has cured seven or eight
very bad cases of diarrhGa and dysenters in
the barracks he was in with one bottle OF
this valuable medicine. In fact We could
fill half our paper with similar items from
these letters. Why does not our Govern
ment secure this valuable preparltjOn.--
Our army ought to be supplied with it. 1t
Ii: blta short time since one of our men
laid in very low condition at zone Of our
