Naughty Josephine Mansfield arrived
yesterday to testify in the Barnard i'm
parchment case. She first applied for rooms
at Congress Hall, and was refused; then
she went t. the Grand Union, with no better
succcss At last she touk rooms with Mrs.
Williams, at the Marvin House.
This morning there WAS a great tlutteT
among the fashionable ladies If the big
hotel to see this Cleopatra, who held SUCH
power over our Caesar and Antnny-so they
all went mp to the Impeachment curt. Yuu
could have seen long rows of fashionable
ladies eager to cat6h a glimpse of the
naughty Mansfield.
She came into court at 10 A. NJ. with Miss
Williams, of course the centre OF attraction
As she sat down, a blOoded young lady
pulled my sleeve and said:
just as expected Josephine Mansfield
has vulgar look"
''Why F. l asked.
Because" replied the young lady, she
wears dark, bright blue ribbons and gloves,
and anyone who wears these positive Bow
ery tints has vulgar taste. Then she bangs
her hair in front Ike a Gypsy girl, aud
weighs, I'll bet you, go pounds-bah ~
So JOsephin6's case was settled by the
fashionable court of Congress Hall.

Hooker was in command Of the Army
Of the Potomac. He was relieved
at his own request, and General
Meade was appointed in his place.
All the army was surprised at this
appointment, but no one more so
than Meade himself. He had so
frankly and freely expressed his
conviction Of Hooker'8 incapacity at
Chancellorsvil that the latter had
threatened to arrest him, and when,
late at night, June u, he was
awakened in his tent by the messn-
ger from Washington, his first ques-
ton to General Hardie, who brought
the commission, was, whether he
had come with the order for his ar.
rest. Hardic evading the question,
told him to strike n light, and then
placed in his hands paper which he
found to be an order appointing him
to the command of the Army Of the
Potomac, and committing to him all
the powers Of the Executive and the
Cons titution, in order that he might
have every needed resource to meet
the emergency Of the invasion. At
this time. he is described by Swinton
