New-Orleans Beer. —We had gone to New Orleans to reside. My husoand was a great lover of beer ; and he made his regular trips, through foul or fair weather, every evening, somewhere be*, tween tea and bedtime, to a bier-haus on Conti street. ' The beer brewed there was nectar , absolutely (he would say) superior to any other he had ever tasted, and so very superior to that of any other establishment in all New Orleans, he wondered why people ever went to any other bier-haus than Qurte’s. Its peculiar nutty flavor, its rich, creamy foam, could not be equalled by any other bier-breaver. Gurth was a king.— Eve rybody, he said, praised it; its fame or /aem , was literally in everybody’ mouth. One evening I said to him, “You don’t go for your beer.” I happen to be look ing him in the face while speaking. He suddenly turned away pale, and showed unmistakable signs of being sick. The attack was so violent and so sudden, that I was not a little alarmed. As soon as he conld speak, he begged for peppermint, camphor—anything.— €>n my expressing wonder at the cause of the attack, he turned pal£ again, and commenced retching. I suggested cam phor again. No—it's no use; he couldn't take anything on his stomach. Well, peppermint—just a little ? No no use to try. I have it! “Let me send for some bee”— “No, madam! I tell you no/” he thundered forth in tones that made the glass rattle. Good heaven#thought I, what can ail my poor husband ? I said nothing more, but got him to bed as soon as possible. He fell asleep almost im mediately from sheer exhaustion. The next morning his first words were, “Susie, please-don’t talk to me about my sickness last night—don’t mention*the subject at all; and, above alj, never ask me what made me sick.” Os course I said I wouldn’t; but I couldn’t help feel ing curious to know what it all meant. That evening, about beer-tim g, he vol unteered the reraaik that he thought beer disagreed with him, and that "he would quit the use of it. “Yes, dear,” I answered with as serious face as I could assume, backing toward the door, look ing him steadily in the face, and, as I got through the door, continuing, “yes, dear, especially Gnrth's beer!”~ I.shut the door, and ran. I think he was too sick to follow; for I could see, by the last glimpse I caught of his phiz, he was turning white again. A “local” in that morning's Pieavune had posted me. Gurth, the brewer of that nectar , had missed a very valuable negro man some weeks previously, ad-, vertised, could hear nothing of him, and at last' almost forgot about the loss of the Cl ‘chattel.” “Yesterday,” “Pick” said, “on drawing off the beer from one of the vats, poor Joe was found at the bottom, partially decomposed. Wanted to Know.—ls “To' be or not to be” is the question, what is the an swer ? t- Artemtjs Ward’s tickets of admission to his lectures on “Mormonism” are in- the bearer and one wife.” Note by a Gentleman with a Bad Gold. —“ Who rnns may read.”—lf your eyes run, they can't read.

S.—One tnaJ :s respectfully solicited, THE AMERICAN HAY AND COTTON PRESS 00. MANUFACTORY. Comer of Grove and North Third sts., Jersey City. OFFICE, No. 113 Wall-st., New York. GOVE’S PATENT. The attention of all parties interested in the pressing or compressing of Hay, Cotton, Hemp, Wool,Raqs, Hops, or any other article required to be baled for Transportation,Storage or Consump tion, is respectfully solicited, to the PORTABLE or STATIONARY PRESSES, manufactured by this Company, under the superintendence ot the Patentee, Mr. JotfN H. Govs The Press is very simple in its construction, re quiring but ordinary intelligence to work it* ind can be operated by any known power, s i(h as Steam, Water, Horse or Hand. In using Horse power but one horse is required, the Press being so mechanically constructed on a well-known principle that the iW~power increases in a greater ratio than the increasina retristarwe. The advantages of this Press over all others are as follow’s, viz; Ist. It can press 20 per cent, more material in a giver space. ‘id. 11 can do the work in 33 per cent.less time. 3d. It requires 50 per cent, less driving power. 4th. It turns out the best shaped bale for hand ling or rolling. sth. The Press will last a life-time, the work ’’ng parts being built of the best of iron, and not liable to get out of order. The ordinary work of this machine will press in one operation (after once filling the box of the No. 1 Press) a bale of Hay of 450 lbs. weight in Minutes, Four men and one horse can bale 12 tons of Hay a day. Four men without the aid of a horse, or any power except that contained in the can turn out a bale of nay 27 inches square by 40 inch es long, weighing 400 lbs ,or 231-2 lbs. to the cu bic foot. No toggle joints, screws, cog-wheels, beaters or rollers used in this Press. The attention of Cotton factors and planters, Wool and Hemp raisers, is especially called to this Press, destined as it is to work a complete revolution in thq how slow, clumsy and expen sive method of baling. The Company will dispose of Town, County or State rights (reserving to themselves only the right to manufacture) on reasonable terms. Mr. N. D. Fisizkr is the authorized Traveling Agent for the Company in the Easters and Mid die States. For further particulars send for circulars. Jan.SO lino QUANO. GEO. E.

' f The Major General Commanding being com pelled by ■wounds to relinquish, for the present, the command of the Department, takes this op portunity tp express to the officers and men of the Coast Division, under Brigadier General John P. Hatch, his approbation or their good.conduct during the operations on the line of the Charles ibn and Savannah Railroad, since November last. At the battle of Honey Hill, on November 30th, although unsuccessful in the attempt to drive the enemy from his forts, the Division still maintain ed the light with unwavering steadiness during the day, and retired from the field after nightfall in good order and unpursued. Their losses attest alike their courage and discipline. At Dveeaux’ Neck, near the Coosawhatchie turnpike, on December 6th, the advance, in num ber much interim to the opposing force, met the rebels in an open field, and drove them from the ground, captured one flag, forced them to seek safety in flight, leaving their dead anti wounded in our hands, and thus occupied a position from which the Railroad was under the easy fire of our guns. On December 9th the skirmish line forced its way to within a few yards of the Railroad and the forts which guarded it, remaining there under a most galling fire until an opening had been cut through the woods between our bat teries and the road, and thus perfected the work so gallantly begun upon the 6th. The Division has obeyed all orders promptly and cheerfully, and since its co-operative move ments with General Sherman’s Army, has vig ilantly watched the enemy at its front, has promptly seized each fortified position upon the first indication of a proposed withdrawal on the part of the rebels, ana has thus inspired the Commanding General with the belief that it will continue to do faithfully and well the work allot ted to it in the great campaign which is being prosecuted in South Carolina. To Brigadier Generals Hatch and Potter, who have commanded this force, and to all the gallant officers and men under them, the Major General Commanding tenders his thanks for the past, and bis earnest wishes for their continued suc cess.
