A HUSBANDS RESPONSIBILITY

In O New York Court q few days ago
Bridget Toner was charged by Mary Jennings
with having slandered her, and the latter
brought a suit in the Marine Court to recover
damages, in which the husband of Mrs. Toner
was included with his wife rs defendant. On
application Of counsel for the plaintiff Judge
AIcAdam granted an order of arrest against
the husband, fixing his bail at 500. Appli-
cation was made to the Judge for the dis
charge of Toner, it heiag represented that he
was unable to give bail. The Judge ordered
his discharge on his own recognizanee, at the
same time remaTking that though under the
law as existing for two hundred years the
husband was liable to civil arrest In suit
brought to recover damages for the tOrtuOus
acts of his wife, it was law exceedingly
disagreeable to the Judiciary to enforce, and
one which they never would enforce to the
full extent of its oppressive provisions.
The relieved husband left court apparently
happy, and vowing determination to hence
forth bride the wayward tongue OF hisspouse.

THE FORTUNE OF FOUR FLIES.

There were once four flies, and, as it hap
pened, they were hungry one morning. The
first settled upon a sausage Of ofsingularly appe-
tizing appearance, and made q hearty meal,
but he speedily died Of intestinal inlamma-
ton, Tor the sausage was adultured with an
lime. The second fly breakfasted upon -four,
and forthwith succumbed to contraction Of
the stomach, owing to The inordinate guam
tity of alum with which the flour had been
adulterated. The third fly was Stacking his
thirst with the contents Of the milk iue
when violent cramps suddenly conyulsed his
frame, and he soon gave up the ghost, vic
tim to chalk adUlteratiOn. Seeing this, the

mouthful, although expectant OF hs eud.
But he did not die. On the contrary, be

morning we confronted Lee with 4 line Ct

morale Of the troops was ut par once more
and the attack eagerly awaited; but, as IS
always the case after an action, it rained and
rained. General Hooker, being timid as to
his communications owing to the rapid rise
of the river which threatened his bridges,
ordered

road towards the Charlottesville House, at
/ first met by small squads of terrified fugi-

/ and hundreds, until the clearing was reached,
! when the head of the column met the in
coming tide Of demoraIized Dutchmen and

woods were full OF the rapidly Getreating
/ troops, without form and void, no organi-

our view almost beggars description; men
running hithcr and thither seeking avenues
Of escape: droves Of cattle, the horns Of each
loaded down with kDapsaczs and blankets
were bclowingand pIUngiug gaimlessly about;
the raen had throwu away their arms and
accouucmcnts; some still retained their
camp-kcttles filed with hot coffee or soup,
forthcy were cooking supper when attacked; ;
, batteries Gashing through dense masses OF
yelling, frantic men: the shrielling and ex
qlodrg shells: the dust and smoke and set
fling gloom, all combined to make perfect
randamonium. All This time the death
dealing volleys Of musketry assailed our
ears from the woods.
And yet there were some laughable Incl
dents here also 10 relieve the direful picture.
General Hooker was mounted on his large
iron-gTay, riding among the fugitives COM
handing and ezhortiDg them to rally and
form. Intent on his work, he approached
q tall specimen of a Dutchman standing in
the middle Of the road covered with dust,
begrimed with powder, wringing his hands,
and with most doletul, homesicl1 expires
sion Of countenance. " Ny man, rally! make
q stand right there in your Place." said the
General. Auch, Sheneral, dish IS burty

man, entirely divested of arms and accoutre-
ments, bu5 still tightly clutchins the
handles Of two complexities partly filled
with boilmg-hot coffee, was tearing along for
the rear. In his passage he met two small
saplings, about the width of a man apart.
Utterly oblivi0us to the fact Of his swinging
kettles, he rushed through: his wrists struck
the trees, and on the principle of inertia the
kettles met. him On the other side and their
scalding contents drenched him from his
knees to his ankles; down he went, rolling
and yelling: Och, mine Gott! mine leclls
are both shot avay!" The hot coffee con-
tributed largely to the illusion. While this
confusion and turmoil were enacting black
robed night was settling down over the
woods, and soon the din ceased. The enemy
discontinued his pursuit and we only knew
Of his proximity by the barking Of his bat
teries; the flashes Of the guns could be plainly
seen some six hundred yards up the plank
road. Immediately in the rear of the Chan
cellorsviIle House was q field of perhaps one
hundred acres in extent, bounded on one
side by the plank road above mentioned, a
wood skirting the right Of the road as you
face toward the enemy's position. In the
cool Of the evening the corps continued its
march for the position.

= CHEERING RUrroR.

AUg}-st lst--Soroe unusual excitement is
apparent ina the camps Of our enemies. For
forty-eight hours they have been working
with ceaseisss energy at their fortidcations.
Earthwocl,s and forts ere rising all around
as while day and night we can hear the chop
ping and falling Of trees. Naturally enough
these incidents have created 81 thousand ru-
mors. One CT the most reasonable ones
aaoat Is 30 the effect that large force of
mounted iulsntry is pushing rapidly to-
wards this point to release us, bearing arms
and provisions enough to equip rs for duty.
Should this prove tho case, o bloody ven
geauce viii be Wreaked on this region OF
country. IGeneral Stoaeman had reached
Macon, fifty miles distant, with 5000 cav
airy. He had been instructed TO first form
a junction with another force, consisting Of
1000 cavalry, but having omitted to do so,
was defeated aDc captured. Seven hundred
of his men we're made prisoners, and large
number were killed and W0unded.l As
drowning men c.utch at straws, SO do the
miserable Wretchts confined here each day
base their hopes of liberation on some
groundless tale. Yesterday q sympathizing
Catholic priest told sufferer to be Of good
cheer, that we Will soon be P&roled, and at
once the camp WAS in an UproaT. I have
seen nobody who saw the priest or heard his
words, bat there ara many who claim to

Captain Eads's Schemes.

Sdpleill hoOl4CiliOS'
In commenting in our last issue uponthe
practicability OF Captain EADs's proposed
ship railway, we omitted TO say that we do
not wish Congress to guarantee the bonds he
intends TO issue. We are thoroughly con-
vinced, after reading the documents sent
to us by Captain EADS, that his scheme is
entirely practicable. But practicability
and desirability are not the same thing.
The money ought to be advanced by
capitalists if the projected railway
would pay good dividends; whereas
IL ii is not expected to pay at least
fair per cent. upon the cost OF 1t,
there is no necessity to construct it at all.
Inside OF our own country, railroads or
canals may be paid for out of the public
treasury whether they prove profitable or
not. There may be controlling reasons not
at all connected with pecuniary considera-
tions-as, for instance, in the case OF the
railroads uniting the Eastern United States
with the States on the Pacific coast. But
Congress ought never to think Of contri-
buting out Of the public treasury towards
the construction OF railroads in foreign
countries.
We are, on the other hand, warmly in
favor Of Captain EADs's schemes for inn
proving the Mississippi river. He does
not merely propose to improve the naviga-
ton Of that grand stream, but to improve
the river itself. He would give it bounds,
and prevent disastrous overflows such as
those Of which the papers have lately been
so full. We would be willing to have mil
lions Of dollars expended upon these
schemes. We are not sure that the lat
ter scheme IL practicable, as we are
not sure that il is impracticable;
but we are willing to trust a good deal to a
man whom the whole world seems TO recog-
nize as master in his profession. His
fame is no doubt well deserved. He won
IL by his works. And il he can make the
Mississippi the seryiceable river he claims
to be able to make 1t, and put an end to It's
disastrous over6ows, he will have earned
for himself a name which will be as en-
during as the Father Of Waters itself.

Two Men Drowned on the Rappahan'


On Friday last an accident occurred on

the tugboat captain to tow their little boat
mn the river but he refused on the ground
that ms they were going so fast 1t was dam
gerous for so small craft. Some OF the
men on one Of the canal-boats, however.
caught their line, and they were In the en-
joyment Of pleasant ride without rowing
when the fatal accident occurred. Having
been drawn close alongside the boat to
which they were fastened, cafial-boat on

When the boats were parted nothing was
seen of the unfortunate men but their two

upon the top of the water. At last ac-
counts their bodies had not been recoy-
