About o'clock last evening heavy discharge
of artillery from the banks along the river gave rise
to considerable excitement throughout the corps
For long time VIC have. expected the advent of
Semmes, the Alabama pirate, and the rapid dis
charge from heavy guns led all 10 believe that at
last the rebel fleet had determined to repeat the
.attcmpt which before proved failure, and were
dropping down the stream 10 carry ont their pro-
gramme OF sinking our vessels and destroying our
supplies at Jones' Neck, City Point and Bermuda.
Couriers were sent IN the proper direction TO OBJ
tain information, and in short time IL was known
that the fire was OccaSioned by picket boat OF the
enemy. 1t seems that this boat had been in the
habit OF dropping down every night past our pick
cts and establishing itself almost within stone throw
OF Fort Brady. To prevent further exhibition of
this audacty on the part OF the enemy, pickets
were thrown out 10 Graveyard Bend, with orders
10 hre on the boat if she again attempted TO drop
down the river As soonr therefore, as she made
her appearance behind the bend last euening she
received heavy mnsketry ire from the picket,
which must have proved fatal TO some of the crew
A bombsrdment immediately commenced, which
was, however, confined entirely 10 the enemy, who
opened from Ope Of their laad batteries aud from
their gunbOat. 1855 aH- ulsti4 fyn.g ii.,f q

LOVE WILL FIND A WAY.-A coupl

LOVE WILL FIND WAF-A couple.
not many miles from Manchester, carried
on their courting in rather novel man
ner. A young man had fallen in leve
with the daughter of his employer, but,
fer certain ideas of wealth, a match was
opposed by the father The CONSEQUENCE
was that the ysuEg man was forbidden
to visit his EMPLOYERS house. The old
gestleman was in the habit of wearing a
cloak. The couple made him the limo.
cent bearer of their correspondence. The
young lady pinned letter inside the lu.
ing of the old mans cloak every day, and
when the father went to the counting
house. and threw off his cloak, the lover
took out the lady's epistle, read it and
sent the reply back in the same manner
Love and ingenuity were finally sue
cessful.
