lustrate a man wearing an uncommon
ly high pair of top boots, is ordered to
“come c-ut of those boots—1 know you
arc in in there, for I see your head.”--
One of tho most lidiculous examples
cf tliis, that has came under tlio wri
ters observation was, In enso of a man
having a very long gootcc, who was
thus aduressed; “spit out that horse—
1 know ho is in there, for 1 see his
tail.” If a man perpetrates a witicisin
lieisjsnid tobe“sliolling”thecrowd ; and
so if one jokes another, ho is -s»iil to bo
''shelling” him, and if tho repartee is
not ready niid adequate, tho whole
crowd cry out, “lie down, lie down, lie
.is shelling you.!’ But thus speaking
of shells reminds* ono of tho literal
ones, and the “pet names” by which
they are called. The very largo bomb
shells, thrown bv the Yanks at us, are
(culled “flour barrels,” nndtheWg ones
fired from riflo cannon, “lamp posts,”

Of this snd winter'rain.

Yes, yes, she gave, and I must bear
My anguish as i nVa/>
But yet the a'nguish lias its balm,'
It teachcs mo to pray.
My sister, oh, my sister,
No toil greets thee, there,
Pain never raoks thy weary head,
Unknown is troubling care.
I know we should not grieve for thee,
In thee sivoet peace Is given,
Thy lovely soul was led,
From earth to God in Hoaven.
Oh I sistor, stvciot sister,
No chords struck with glee,
But awakes in rnj bosom,
Remembrance or thbo.
Even now when gentle zepher?,-
Around thy grave sings,
We sigh that our fjoworet,
Was blighted in spring.

On Monday laBl, Bays the Confedera
cy, a man by tho namo of Cilly, a cut
ter in Lawslie A PurteU’s tailoring es.
tabislimont, was shot by a Mr. Rynn, a
member of Leyden’s Artillery Battal
ion. Cilly bad gone to Ryan’s house
while his wife was away from home on
a visit to a neighbor, entered tlio cham
ber of Mrs. Ryan and went to bed. On
returning and finding him f lu re. Mrs.
Ryan was greatly frightened, and im
mediately gave tho alarm, when tlio
neighbor whoso family she had visited
came to' h'er assistance, and had Cilly
oarried away, who'appeared to be some
what intoxicated;
Mr. ltyun, u'poii learning tlio fact 6f
tho attempted outrage upon his wife,
made application'for a furlough to como
home, not stating, Uowover, tlio truo
reason for which' P wished to come.—
Not giving a satisfactory reason to his
commander, I10 was refused a ffirBuilT..
Ho then came off without if. When he
arrived boro on tho morning train, he
did not ovon visit his wifo, till lie' had
first searched the man who had ofl’ei'ed 1
her the grave insult. Whon' lie .walked
into Lawshe & Purtoll’s and inquired
for Cilly, who answored tho coll of his
name, lio discharged two pistol phots
at him—one taking effect in’tho arm
and tlm other the back of tho head.
Ryqn then said lio had done all that ho
came to do, and was ready to go back
to his command. Wo learn that our
Provost Marshall, Col. Lee, is perfectly
willing to send him ' back to Mqj. Ley-
don alone, without nny arrest or cen
sure. Wo hope that when ho returns
his officers will not prefer any oharges
against him, but let him return tohis
post as though ho had never left it.—
The honor and chastity of a man’s wile
is the most sscrod thing on all tills
broad, green onrth, an attempt to de
stroy which is Hie greatest outrogo tlmt
tlio mind of man is capable of con
ceiving.
figyLincoln lias signed the bill erect'
ting tho forty-eight counties of Western
Virginia into a State, to ho called
Kanawha.” It is reported that, in
announcing the fact, lie said ho had
“laid aside ills overcoat and gloves, and
intended to bo President for awliilo.”
ViCKsacnc.—Tlio Yankees assert
and ro-assort that this stronghold has
fallen into their hands, and from tlio
■portinacy wjtli which it is insisted up
on ono might almost feol constrained
to believe tlicro was somo truth in tho
statement. We regard it as a bare'
faced invention, got up'solely as newt
for tho European steamer, and for 3CV'
eral reasons: In the first placo we are
in dil-eot telegraphic communication
witli Vicksburg, and not a word of
such news lias reached us. It is re
markable, again, that the Yankees, in
every instance, fail to give the date of
their victory. The Now York papers
of the 3d wore the first to announco it,
and we have in our office u Vicksburg
letter of tlio 3d which says nothing
about even tlio prospect of an altaok.
Hence we oonclude tliat tho whole
tiling is a Yankee lio from beginning
to end.

Butler to ui Honored.—It is the
general impression that Butler was to
bo superceded by- Banks from vory
sliamo in liis masters. He had keen
a faithriil servant, but then all tho do
oency of tho North (omitting New
England-) was shocked at tho misdoeds
of the ruffian ; and so, in doferenco to
tliat of the people, it was supposed that
-Lincoln had no alternative. This is
not time, if tlioro is. any meaning in
tho following- from tho report of the
proceedings of the Washington Cou-
gress on tlio 16th of December:
Tlio Vice-President laid beforo the
Senato a messago from President Lin
coin, placing at the disposal of Con
gress threo swords formerly belonging
to Major-General Twiggs, forwarded to
him' by Major-General Butler, from
Now Orleans, and suggesting that, if
the swords should be given to any offi
cers by Congress ns a roward of cour
age nnd bravery, Major General Butler
is entitled to tho first consideration.

A Rich Letter.—The Grand Rapids
(Mich.) Enquirer contains the following
letter from a man In “straitened circum
stances,” linging in the Far Wost, who
is obliged to write for a living *.
At present 1 am leading editor of
this d—d Abolition sheet, just by the
force of circumstances. The political
editor is sick nnd in the country, and
the duty dovolvcs upon me of supply
ing liis placo. 1 pon daily oditorials
full of the most pernicious doctrines,
and tcacli principles, which, if acted
upon, would divorce the Church of
Romo from tlio Blessed Virgin, to say
nothing about “bursting up” tho Union.
I state truths tliat 1 don’t bolievo a
word in, and denounce as a dangerous
'and damnable heresy tho belief of our
fathers, which my prophotic soul tells
mo is right.
ggy* We sincerely hope that when
tho subject of our recognition shall, be
disoussed by foreign governments, they
will annex as condition precedent to
tho recognition of the confederacy, that
Mississippi shall assume the payments
of hor bonds, which she unblushingly
repudiated. Her own courts have do
omed against hor, and it is a burning
shame to hor people that those bonds
are still repudiated.—Brandon Republican,
