The statement of the Washington cores
pondent OF the New York Commercial that
Gen. Sherman was at Vicksburg on the 9th
ut., is great mistake. None of Gen. Sher-
mans forces had reached jackson on the oath,
and Vicksburg advices of the 9th make no
mention of his arrival there, or of any con-
templated new movement.
Parties from Gen. Grants front say it is not
probable that any lighting will take place

LEAP YEAR.-The young ladies Of the P.
T. Society availed themselves OF their leap
year privileges last Friday evening, by invit-
ing the members of the Wv. V. Drill Club to
a choice little entertainment in the Senate
Chamber at new City Hall. The matter was
kept secret from all but the officers, the men,
bers being notified to meet at their drill room
with their boots BACKED. Upon assembling,
they were marched TO the City Hall, where
they were received by the young ladies, drawn
up in line, with due ceremony. Music was in
attendance, and the fair ladies performed the
part Of gay cavaliers to the gentle warriors in
the most gallant manner. At intermission
they were conducted to the supper room, seat
ed and waited upon in the most approved
style by the ladies, who appeared as walters
with white aprons. We trust that we shall at
some future day hear Of these young soldiers
marching up to the lannon's mouth as bravely
as they did that evening to the festive board.

INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY
The steamer New Brunswick leaves on her
first trip for Eastport and ST. John this even
ing at five o'clock. This steamer has had a
thorough overhaulng, and many improve
ments have been made, enlarging her passen-
ger accommodations, and she has been newly
furnished. The managers of this company
are determined to have their steamers first
class in all their appointments, notwithstand-
ing it costs in running expenses about double
it did three years since when they took the
line. One great assurance of safety to pas
sengers is the fact that there is no marine in
sarance on the property. They make their
insurance in having first class men on board
their steamers in all the departments. The
late decisions in relation to the Chesapeake
and her capturers, will make the running of
steamers on this route much safer than last
season. Still, we learn, the steamers will be
prepared to protect property and life on the
passage as heretofore. The many fattering
notices of this company In Provincial papers
is an evidence of the favor with which this
line is regarded east, and is an assurance of
friendly cooperation on the part Of the au-
thorities and citizens of St. John IN protecting
property and the safety of passengers.
