MISCELLANEOUS.
Matters were very quiet along the le-
wee yesterday, The not sun had even
driven the black brigade to seek some
cooler place, and the pronlscuou5 line of
battle daily formed by them upon and
around the old spars which lie along
the bluff ike logs upon 81 earthwork
we're entirely deserted. Rural shades.
suburban whisky shops or old Morpheus
had enveloped them as with a cloud,
and scarcely one was to be seen at his
accustomed haunts. A few boatmen Of
the less favored sOmpleEion Ware sWel-
tering under the hurricane roofs of

much exhausted TO repeat sn item II they
knew one. At the Star whsrfboat ice
water and other little sdjuncts Of the
heated term were not to be found. The
packet company were better provided,
hQs as all hands, including Captain
Eiem, were asleep, our time was lost in
a visit to that point, Atthe city wharf
boat we found Captain larry in morn
ing costume, surrounded by his clerks
anu r0ustsaa0uts armed with fans, all
nsine great exertions to keep their
chief from simmeripg down; but not even
thejy most frantic efforts could prevent
little rivulets Of perspirsti0n and grease
from trickling along the deck and 1oats

Pennsylvania.
