An .sOut Chopper" Comes Down on a
ReXleWer.

Coming home I was in such capital humor
| that 1 was not even rufled by finding a friend
| awaiting me at my rooms with a copy Of =
paper called the "Territorial Enterprise"
published away up in Washoe, somewhere.
And this morning two copies of the same
paper have been sent me. This particular
! Enterprise contained a ferocious "%reyiew?"
Eve columns in length, Of the little book
| called Observation-Disclosures Of the
review being devoted to "pitchings in" to
the editor and one C.. II. Webb-the latter,
as the writer thinks, being John Paul. Tit
review Is considerably longer than the book,
and I must confess to having been consider
ably amused. Ny first exclamation was,
"Who has done this unto me ?" and the an-
swer was "Jo. Goodman" His article and
all the circumstances Of the case considered,
I conclude he must have written verses and
been left out Of the collection referred to.
But this is scarcely a reason why he should
make this exhibition Of himselt-he might be
a CoryphGus without doing such things. It
seems he sent q special order down to the
Bay for a copy, and, as the friend to whom
the order was sent says, ~ knew by the way
he sent it he was very mad. Coryphnus
wanted a copy. But because the copy which
happened to be sent him had a "red muslin
binding" he should not have supposed that
the whole edition had and pitched into the
publishers for its being "eheap and fashy:.'
The friend to whom tho order was sent prob
ably knew what the taste Of this CoryphGus
was and consulted it in his selection OF color.
He might as we'll have fourished 4 red rag
before an Infatuated bull: Aside from this
what can have put $40. Goodman" in a pas
sion? I never struck him-neyer saw him

RIcH.-A very funny little sketch Of
the adventures of a Dutchman, during the
late rebellion. will be found in another
column of our paper to-day. The copy
was furnished us by Uncle Billy Watson,
Secretary of the Yellow jacket ; and who
on reading it shed a erea. many tears of
sympathy and crocodile water for the
domestically injured and patriot-suttier.
Those who like a good joke will of course
read it over twice, and they can see where
the laugh comes in. We know of several
bachelors who have not been able to keep
a straight face since they read it.

A WATERY TINE OF IT.-It is surprising
(says a recent English writer) how infectious
tears are at a wedding. First Of all the bride
cries, because she's going to be married and
then, Of course, the bridcmaids cry, perhaps
because they are not and the fond mama
cries, because she'll l-l-l-lose her d-d-darling;
and then all the ladies cry, because ladies, as
a rule, will never miss a chance Of crying ;
and then, perhaps, the groomsmen cry, to
keep the ladies company and then the old
pew-opener cries, to show what deep pecu-
MARY interest he takes in the proceedings ;
and then, perhaps, the public cries, the pub
lie being, Of course, composed exclusively OF
petticoats. But, notwithstanding all these
Niobes, who make quite a Niagara Of eye
water around him, we W re never yet have
seen the bridegroom cry, and should about as
soon expect to hear the beadlc whimper.

FORTRESS MONROE, Dec. 20.
The o. S. steamer De Soto, from Port au
Prince, 18th inst, has arrived here. She re-
ports Gen. Salnave az Monte Christie, in San
Domingo, with his staff and Senate. He was
recruiting his army which was being strongly
reinforced by deserters from Geffrard's forces.
There was great eXcitemtnt at Port au Prince.
Reinforcements were being sent forward to
Cape Haytien, where an attack from Salnare
was expected.
Gen. Gefrard sent a commissioner to the
San Domingo Government to request the de-
livery of Salnave, and afterwards offered forty
thousand dollars for his capture, and various
sums for the persons of his council.
The Haytiens universally favor the revolu-
ton against Geffrard.
The English fleet were raising the gunboat
Valdroque for Geffrard, and had removed the
machinery from the British steamer Bull Dog.
The British steamer Jamaica Packet captured
by the rebel steamer Valdroque, was really an
English vessel chartered by Geffrard, and had
on board troops and munitions of war.

There was little change in Chilian war mat

united against Spain. Some forty ports were
yet open, and steamers now touch at port 40
miles from Valparaiso which is connected
with the latter place by good road, and pas
sengers and mails are regularly carried.
A Gillian priVateer will soon be on the

In Bolivia affairs were quite unsettled. The
revolution was still going on.
A disturbance had taken place at Cobiia
with some Chilians, owing to Spanish vessels
being allowed to coal there.
The advices from Peru are quite important
Gen. Cancero, after organizing new gov
eminent, was deposed bya public meeting, and
Gen. Prade, also one of the leading generals in
the late revolution, was declared dictator, he
being pledged to call Congress together as
soon as possible. 1t is supposed that Prade
will declare an alliance with Chill against
Spain.
The Isthmus was quiet. A revolutionary
movent occurred early in the month"; but
was soon checked.
The course of Chill is warmly espoused by
the people and press of the South American
republics, though no governmental action Is
reported The first direct conflict between the
Gillian and Spanish forces occurred on the
9th ult at Dicacho. A party OF thirty Span
iards attempted to land, first firing at the
Notifications, but were driven back by the
garrison. One man was taken prisoner and
two were wounded. p .''.
The British merchants of Valparaiso had

WASHINGTON, Dec. 70.
The Clerk of the House of Representatives
has received certificates of election of South
ern members only from North Carolina 7,
Louisiana A, Mississippi 2, Tennessee Z, Vir-
ginia 6. Some of these have been referred to
the select committee, and also one certificate
from Arkansas.
A few days ago the House passed resolu-
ton calling for any information in possession
of the Executive Department with reference
to the so called decree by Macmillan the
French Agent in Mexico, under date of Sep
TENDER last, establishing slavery or peonage in
the Republic. 1t appears from the reply to
this resolution that on the 10th of September,
w. H. Corwin, Charge dAffairs, sent copy
of this decree to Secretary Seward who re-
quested the opinion of Attorney General Speed.
Upon that paper the latter gave an elaborate
response saying that the broad declaration is
in the first regulation that all men of color
are free by the fact alone of having lived on
Mexican soil. 1t is manifest however that in
subsequent regulations grinding and odious
form OF slavery is sought to be established,
and he concludes as follows:-" l have no hes
itation in saying that the regulations cOnsti-
tpte law which deprives the working men
of the rights which are in this country regar-
ded, and which in every well organized COM
munity should be regarded as inestimable in
alienable and indestructible, and certainly
makes them slaves. The history of this
country and particularly the history of the
STRUGGLE from which we are lust emerging
show that no society can be Organized perma-
nently and remain at peace within its own
border and with the outside world, where these
great and important rights are denied to any
considerable class of men,"
Secretary Seward wrote to Minister Bigelow
on the 10th of November, saying that the de-
crees had received the attention of this Gov
eminent. and the law officer had submitted an
opinion that if they were carried into execu-
tion they Wotld ineyitobly operate to reduce

morning. The inmates, one hundred aid
twenty in number, besides the officers of the
institution, were rescued without harm, though
the fire, urged on by high wind, swept
through the buildings with great fury, and
commenced at five O'Clock, when most of the
inmates were asleep. The barn and stock
were saved by the steam fire engines.
Mr.. Shattuck, the Superintendent, says the
fire was undoubtedly the work Of an incendi-
