this afternoon at 4 o'clock. He left Rich
mond yesterday. he is understood to re-
port that among many leaders in Rich
mond, JEFF. Davis included, there is

the best terms they can.
REBEL GUEBoATs.
The exit of the rebel gunboats from
under the guns of their batteries in. james
river came near proving a serious affair to
US. Had the rebel ram Richmond not
grounded, our fleet of transports with all
the works of Gen. Grant at City Point
would have been destroyed.
The naval officer in charge ran away,
for which disgraceful conduct he will pro
badly be dismissed the service.

A Charleston letter to the Richmond
Dispatch says; Many of the most furious
advocates of secession of 1860, as well IS
many of the most confident and resolute
supporters of our holy cause in 1868, are
now the most querulous and despOnding.
Reverses which have overtsken our arms
and the demorslizing influence of the
blocksde-running trade have wrought this
great change, so that Charleston of to-day
is no longer Charleston of former days.
The city abounds with prophets of evil
croakers and fault-fnders.

domestic, and the demand for chcstnuts
has greatly increased with the extension

FRIEND ADvERrIsER:-The following lines
about the "Draft" were read in Good Templar's
Lodge, last Thursday evening"
ALL ABOUT THE DRAFT.
The draft! the draft o, the terrible dram!
And the poor man shuddered and shrunk away; /;
'Tis worse to me than the lghtning's shaft,
Or the tempests blast, or the oceans spray.
Can you strike my nam, from the roll, Squire E. ?
had the ''rheumatiz" years ago;
Besides I'm always weak in the knee,
And could not stand at sight Of the foe.
'Tis trne can follow the plow all day,
And cheerily labor and not repine.
But the draft takes all OF my strength away,
I'm sure am in a sad decline.
Is that terrible draft to come again2
Then, Squire. ou must strike me from the list.
I'm subject of Queen Victoria's reign,
And must not the bel horde resist.
Ills true that fourteen years or more
Protection beneath your flag f,e had,
And Office held, and allegiance swore.
But to fight for those rights is sure too bad.
On! Doctor 1 have a terrible pain
In one Of my legs, and it troubles me sore,
And my heart will lutter and futter again,
At thought of he d aft and the cannon's roar.
(ScENE CHANGES! he draft is stopped, and
the applicants again appear on the stage.
o! Doctor. the draft is stop't they say,
You need not make my linament yet,
Ny "rheumatiz' all has left to-day;
could scale their lottiest parapet.
Say, Squire, withdraw my alien plea,
I'm ready to fight for our banner, too;
No woman shall ever rule over me-

the extent Of the scare, aud some of
them vowed revenge. by and by, the
excitement died away. All being quiet
again on the vidette line, the regiments
broke ranks, and tho men returned to
their huts to flush their dreams.
At an hour later, some Of the cavalry
men were heard to say: "Now, let's start
up the Johnnies to'pay for that scare of
theirs" Word went along the line, and
fire was opened by our videttes. With
a muskotry volley, our men raised yell
That started the alarm over the lines
In the camp of the Johnuics 'the drum
did beat at dead of night" FIRST from
one regiment, then from another; far up
towards the Charles City road, aud away
towards the river sounded the peel OF
the long.roll and arousing all who had
slept before. Then there was hurrying
to aud fro among them. Any new re-
cruits they had from the cradle or the
grave were disturbed in dreams Of their
former home. Their veterans had a
chance to speculate on the probabilities
OF fight. Their officers were out, half
dressed and half awake, and soon their
line of battle bristled along their works
from right to left. This time the laugh
was among our men, and the swearing
was among the outwitted pickets. 1t
was we'll towards morning before the
Johnnies had chance to break ranks to
return to their huts and finish their
dreams.
Our boys felt that they were quits
with the Johnnies, but were not satisfied
about the first scare. They thought it
was hardly warranted by the circum-
stances. A fair faced youth, not yet
more than nineteen, although re. enlist
ed veteran soldier, said on his return to
camp the following morning, as if his
pride was touched by the alarm of those
he defended, "You needn't have sound
cd the long roll in here. Did not you
suppose we could keep back the Johnnies
till you could turn out in the reg lar
way? We could ha' held a line of battle
for three hours if you'd ha' wanted US
to-" Old soldiers enjoy q joke; but
they don't want it carried too far.

A Scare Oh Both Sides,

A pair of jokes were perpetrated on
the front Of the army of the James one
evening last week. The night was wet
and cold A heavy fog below with thick
clouds above shut out nearly all light
from the well nigh full moon. The op.
posing pickets, where the lines we're
nearest, between the New Market and
Darbytown roads, could hear but not see
each other As it drew towards mid
night, some waggish, shiveriug Johnies
were heard to say: "Now, we're going
to stir up the Yanks" Then they fired
their rifles towards our lines Comrades
at their left fired also and started some
of the cavalry vide,tes from Il cir posi-.
sion. 1t is easier to commence picket
firing than to stop it, and for several
minutes shots were rapidly repeated
along the rebel front, They were heard
in our camps, and in one regiment the
long roll was sounded. That made the
alarm general on this side Of the lines -
r Regiment after regiment repeated the
! call of danger, and soon all was commo
tion throughout our lately quiet great
city of camps. Tho rattlng continuous
roll of the drums sounded up and down
our front. "Turn out here !" Turn
out, lively, all of you - called haf.dress-
ed and halfawake officers as they hurried
from their log cabins and repeated the
summons to their half.awake and half
dressed men already hurrying from their
log huts. New r0pits though thor
oughIy frightened as they started up
from dreams of home to hear the confus-
ing din of thousands of voices and the
rattle and Gathering of the still rolling
drums Old soldiers concluded very
speedily that there would be sharper
picket firing if there was any serious
trouble on the line, and so were in no
degree disturbed as they fastened to
obey orders Not many minutes had
passed before there was brlsting line
of battle within our works from right to
left as far as alarm extended. All this
while, the Johnnies on picket hearing
