They sold him a machine and took his money in payment therefor, with the promise, ht says, of swapping back in case the mschinn should* not fulfil all the antici pations raised in £is mind. by the elo quence ’of their representations. It is needless to say that be found himself the victim of misplaced confidence, both as to the machine and as to the Com pany. He sent them back their me-' chine and requested them to return his money. They returned tfic machine in stead, and the following spicy letter, which wc publish as a warning to all men to transact with home merchants and let those distant Companies alone.— Louisville (Ay.) Courier. Babtlktt’s Sewing Machine C 0.,) 221 Summit Btkkkt,Tou;do, 0., > September 2t>, 18(16. ) Sia: Your letter at hand and machine is this day sent yoa by express. We enclose new directions with this which are more in detail than the other. Your charge of awiudle is easier to make than to prove. We do not do a swindling business, but should we ever do it, we should take more pleasure in swindling Kentucky people than any other set of human beings on earth. Am astonished you have so little confi dence in us Yanks, after being whipped so badly as you Rebels have been (not | enough yet). We would naturally suppose you would have full confidence in the ability of the Yanks. We seriously think yon have not been folly as yet. We think another dose of Yankee pills will have a good effect on you. You must, we think, boa supporter ot A. Johnson, Esq. So are we (with hemp). Now, Me., don’t attempt after this to insult a Yank. It can't ot done. We shall certainly look for an order of one or two dozen machines from you in a short time. Send us greenbacks, as Confed. scrip don’t pass up here only at 100 per cent, discount. Yours, truly, Face Bros. ■' A- :*; A “Greenhorn” in a Little Game of Bluff.—A few evenings ago several gentlemen met in a favorite refreshment saloon of this city, and while disconrsing on the topics of the day, gradually fell upon the subject of a quiet little game of bluff. At this juncture a couple of' gentlemanly looking pessouages walked v in and with a suavity remarkable for strangers ingratiated themselves with the party. The greenest looking fellow of the two whs introduced by his companion as an agricnltural gentleman residing in the County of Bertie, Ifqrt|l Carolina. This was of itself of sufficient introduction to all Petersburg, and to thispleasent cotery it was fine, So they all topk a quiet game of bluff together and then the dreary hour of midnight came one of our Petersburg citizens had lost his watch, another his purse of eighty dollars, and another his small potato pile of twenty-five. The disinterested associate of the gentleman from Bertie lost also his gold watch and all of his money, about one hundred dollars. Tbe agriculturalist from Bertie pocketed all wkh an expression of ver dancy and satisfaction, that must have amassed if it did not soothe the losers. The game being ended by the breaking of every body but. the greenhorn, aJI went to bed and tbe next morning it was discovered that the said greenhorn agri culturalist, citizen, of Bcirtie, N. C., was no other than Richmond one of the most celerbrated gamblers of, the city;—Pe tersburg ( Va.) Express, Nov. 7th. ■ - - j ■ Breckinridge at Baton Rocge,— Tbe Baton Rouge (La.)

When General Breckinridge was marching on Baton he one day, uuatteqded by his aids, rode up to a solitary pine-woods videtfc, who had just come iu from St. Tain pinny and was new to the etiquette of army life.

I am General Breckinridge, the . confounding officer,” continued the General, much amuaed at the picket’s idea of the duty required of him. “You ar, or lot Bob Chiggcrr, an I am glad tUIBB'YOOT'Otir feller, how are you'V" replied ihe.pteket, exteudiug a hand ** large -as a frying-, pan.
