The FERRY.-Since the evacuation Of Nor
folk and Portsmouth by the Confederates, the
Ferry has been in the hands of the o. s. mil

seemed anxious to afford every facility to the
many travellers between the two cities. Last
evening the Ferry was returned to its old
owner, Norfolk County, and the Magistrates
of the county will in future have the manage
ment of its affairs We learn that liberal offers
have already been made by two different par
ties for lease of the charter for twenty years;
certain New York capitalists promising to put
on the line new steamers, and erect fine new
waiting saloons on each wharf. They also
guarantee to increase the trade of the two
places seven millions year, provided their
bid is accepted. For many reasons we hope
they may he granted the lease; for the County
never did show the least disposition to accom-
modate the public; and if the Ferry remains
under its control, we shall never be rid of the
old tubs that waddle across the Elizabeth at
this point Besides, the boats will discontinue
their trips at nine o'clock, P NJ, and all travel
between the cities after that hour must cease.
Lease the Ferry to some one who will tear
down the rat-traps now used for waiting sa-
looms, who will put on new steamers, who will
keep the wharves in order, and run the boats

STEALING CoPPER.-The Police of Ports
mouth this morning arrested negro named
Thomas Wilson, charged with stealing about
seven dollars worth Of Copper from the Navy
Yard. We learn that this has recently be-
come quite profitable business to the idle,
lazy vagabond portion of the contrabands in
our community, and no doubt Mr. Johnston
will endeavor to put stop to it, by making
an example of this sable son of tinker.

this morning with lead pencil, gotten up in

We have been at work with said pencil all

Weather Prophecies.

The public's venerable friend, the
oldest inhabitant, has again made his
appearance with his usual ,proI hecies
respecting the approaching winter.
Whatever doubt there may be as to
the age of this remarkable individual,
there can be none respecting his want
of originality; for again the same
stereotyped signs are noticed that
yearly go the rounds of the press as
indicating either a mild or hard
winter. Last year the signs showed,
according to the venerable inhabit-
ant" mild winter7which, by the
way, proved an exceedingly cold one
and now the press in various sections
of the country have placed in their
columns some of their old takes -
not yet distributed, and announce that
the phenomena which, according to
the Oldest inh baitants, usually presage
o hard winter, are becoming very mark
ed rs the season iprogressesq3 Hives
are said TO be ioFerhowing with honey
the husks of corn are declared to be
OF extra thickness; and the furs OF
animals are pronounced exceedingly
rich and heavy, The. same old rats
that have been travelling eastward in
great numbers" for so many years past
are again contemplating the same trip;
and their second cousins, the squir-
rels, are making arrangements on an
increased scale for the storage Of nuts.

A Domestic Romance.

n
81 A new illustration of the old fact
that truth is stranger than fiction has
recently been developed in our own
city. A celebrated and truthful artist
once said to us, IF I could, by. any
. possibility, succeed in transferring to
canvas perfect production Of the
gorgeous colors that make an Octo-
Der wood SO splendid, my picture
would be condemned as an exaggera-
ton, and would be sharply criticised
Z as one who was not controlled even
by the farthest limits Of possibility"
That is true, and so of this little story,
and many other little stories that are
constantly being told in every day life.
If some bold romancer would weave,
it into magazine article, ten to one
bis articles would be rejected on the
grounds Of its extreme Improbability /:
About fIfteen years ago saddler9

+ his family in the First Ward of this

wait until he should make his selec-
ton and sendfor them to come to him.
T 4 The family waited for tidings, but
none came. They wrote repeatedly
and made many inquiries, but no trace
of the missing man could be obtain
ed, At last they gave up all hope Of
ever hearing Of him again, and count
cd him dead. There could be no
doubt that the unfortunate traveller
had been murdered for the money he
carried with him Suspicion even

General Grant and the Presidency

A gentleman Of this city, an init
mate PERSONAL friend Of Gen. Grant S,
called on him in Washington not long
since. His purpose was to get the
influence of General Grant with the
President in relation to an Office IN
the city, General Grant told him
frankly that bis name wo'.ld be of no
service, to him., but an injury. He
said he, had solicited but yery few IA
vors of the President, and to them no
favorable response was returned. He
ssndathat one day Mr.. Johnson spoke
with him in relation to it. He said TO
General Grant;9lSgYou say that you
are not candidate for the Presidency.
Now promise me" said the President,
that you will not let your name be
used in connection with that Office,
aud Twill grant you any favor in my
power to bestow., To this General
Grant replied: Mr.. johnson am,
not candidate. But suppose the
people insist on making me one, what

Tennessee.

The political condition of Tennes-
see is more encouraging than at any
other period since the apostacy of
Andrew johnson placed, its Union
people and their State Government in
peril. It will be remembered that
while thee franchise bill was pending,
enough copperhead members resigned
to reduce the house below the number
required for constitutional quorum.
Special elections were ordered to fill
the vacancies thus created, which re-
suited IN the defeat of few of the
-holtersi but the most of them were
reelected. The latter were refused
admission in consequence of their re-
belllous conduct, and recently other
elections have been held to FIJI their
places, These have resulted in graft
tying and substantial gains to the
Union party, and it will now be i'm
possible for. the minority to prevent
legislation, there being more than a
quorum of radical Unionists in each
House. The effort of A. J. to throw
the State of Tennessee into rabel
hands has thus far been a failure for
which all honor is due to the stead
fast loyalty of the Union men of
that State. vnf ( Il Y<&att
