An INCIDENT in stock brokerage.

Jacob Little, we'll known Wall street
fnancier, died in New York city on Mon
day last. The Herald, in an obituary no
tice, recounts the following interesting in
cident in his career:
One of his gres. fests in opposition 10
"the street" is we'll remembered. 1t wssin
the DAYS when Ere Railroad stock was
selling in the neighborhood of par, and
when the shrewjness and improper prsc-
tices of managers impressed the public with
a high idea of the value Of the property.
Mr.. Little did not believe in the property,
and he was ready to give evidence of his
want of faith by contracting to deliver it
at q future day below the market price.
The chief owners of Erie resolved to cstch
him. They took sll the contracts he offer
ed, and, meanwhile, entered into compact
among themselves not 10 sell him q share.
Before he dreamed of the plot, he was bound
TO deliver TO them several thousand shares,
and all the loose stock was tied up BY the
conspirators and out of his reach. The
day came when Mr.. Little was to make
his deliveries. By this time the plot was
well known. The common talk of the
street was that that morning "the bulls
would break Jacob" The bulls had not
the least doubt of their success. They
had his contracts and they had the stock.
It seemed impossible that Mr.. Little could
escape. He came down to his Office that
morning as calm and cool as usual. The
bulls were amazed at his pleasant man
uer. What could he mean TO dol The
dsy wore on. At two o'clock he must
either deliver that which they knew he
had not got, or he must break. Unfortu-
nAtely, they didn't know the history ofthe
Railroad as well as Mr.. Little. One Of the
many vicissitudes which have befsllen thai
famous corporation occurred In ls4S, II
which year the Erie broke outright anC
became insolvent. In the straits which 1T
creditors shared with it the Erie direction
issued to the creditors convertible certif
Gates of indebtedness, which, after specify
ing the amount due by the company TO tn
holder, covenanted that the compsn,
would at any time hold itself bound TO ex
change its own stock for said certif
Gates. So long as the concern was insolven
the stock was worth nothing, and nobod,
thought of converting his certificates an
BY the time the company had revive
every body had forgotten all about then
!. except Mr.. Little. Hhen he found tbs
the bulls had cornered, him he quietl
: bought up all the certificates of 1543 thi
he could find. With these in his hand, {
one o'clock of the fatal day, he presente
himself at the Office of the company an
d demanded new stock. The president an
directors we're petrifed. The language
the certificates was unequivocaL The
made out the scrip, and before the fat
hour Jacob Little fairly overwhelmed Il

COLUMBUS, March 80.
Ny dispatch last night, announcing the
passage by the House of the bill to permit
competition in the telegraph business, by
the decisive vote of II to 9, failed to get

become law as soon as it is signed.
The Senate also agreed to the House bill
making provision for assessing for the tax
alton of National Bank shares, whether
held in or out of the State.
Also the House bill to authorize County
Commissioners to borrow money for the re-
lief of the poor, in case the tax is not suf-

FROM MOBILE.

CAIRO, March 20.
A deserter from Mobile, on the 18th, re-
ports that city wsll fortified Aad dofOndad
by ZOO men. Constant alarm for the
safety of the city exists, and it was thought
it would be evacuated in a few days, and
the forces removed to Selma.
The rebels have four gunboats on the
Alabama river. It was believed that the
shallowness of the water would prevent
the Federal troops reaching Mobile on the
flats constructed for the purpose.
Two vessels, with cotton, ran the block
ade on the night of the 18th
Two disguised Federal officers have been
in Mobile and obtained much valuable in
formation.

Quite a 5ensAtiOn---Firsf Parade Oi
Negro Troops in Richmond.

Quite a aensRtiOu---Ftrsf Parade OF
Negro Troops In Richmond.
The announcement in the morning
papers that two companies Of negro troops
would parade in the afternoon, attracted
a great multitude of ladies, military men,
civilians, boys children, nurses negroes
and others, to the square, between four and
five o'clock yesterday, to witness the novel
spectacle. The streets in the vicinity were
also crowded with dsrkies.
At half-past four o'clock the battalion,
composed of three companies of white con-
valescents, from the hospital, camps Winder
and jackson, and two companies of negro
employees, who volunteered for military SER
vice, marched down Main street, under the
command of Major Chsmblis. A brass
band preceded the battalion, playing
GlDixie' and other popular airs. The side
walks were lined with spectators Turn
ing up Governor street, the column march
ed to the square. As they entered the
square there Wss q rush from all quarters
towards the gates and avenues leading
thereto, everybody seeming intent upon
satisfying the promptings of curiosity at
the earliest possible moment. The boys
who regarded the whole affair as . sort Of
frolic, cheered and yelled very furiously,
and altogether the scene presented was
quite remarkable and almost ludicIous. The
column fled to the right, halted and fsced
towards the Capitol, the windows Of which
were filed with ladies. After the troops
were rested they were reviewed by several
officers, and then put through the manu-
al of arms.
The crowd was so great that very few
persons witnessed the drill, but those who
did generally concurred in the opinion
that Ssmbo can be taught TO handle gun
IS well as a hoe. The parade lasted but
4 q short time. In about half an hour the
order was given to fright facs," and the
battalion marched out Of the western gate
of the square and returned TO their quar-
ters. The boys gave them 8 parting
cheer.
The turn out was rather premature The
negroes were clad in Heterogeneous gsrh
instead of the uniform which invests the
position Of soldier with its chief sttrac
ton. Still the people wanted to see I
specimen of the Corps dAfT1qus, and they
were grstifed. At the next parade tn
negroes should be drilled.

The correspondent of the London Star
writes from Rome, under date Of March
10: al wrote you last week that General
Mcclellan had arrived here; he had not
come then, though invitations had been
given out for party for Sunday week
400 to meet him. He arrived last Sunday.
Ar American wag says that the reason Of
mis- delny was, that he could not Insks up
his mind whether to come TO Rome or 90
to Sorrento first, and that finally he only
decided 10 come this WY when the coach
man asked him at Naples which station he
should drive 10.

NEW YORK, March 30.
The ReTaLFs correspondent says another
engagement took plaza in the Army of the
Potomac last Monday morning, which,
though confined to small portion of the
line, and of short duration, was of quite 8
severe character, at least for the rebels. A
party of them who pretended that they
wished to desert were allowed to approach
the national lines, when they made fierce
attack on the front of one division of the
9th Corps, just before day break, for the
purpose of recovering their advanced
works from which they were driven on
Saturday.
The assault wss so sudden and furious
that the 9Th corps troops were at first forced
bsck, but they intantly rallied, repulsed
the enemy at all points, and recovered and
