Nota Bene —Perhaps the principal merit of
this little Acrostic consists in the originality
of the conceit, of colloquisiny “the language of
flowers.” I confess that while the “Ivy—
waving in the breeze" —i. e. creeping on the
earth and feeling about for some, object on which
to rest, and to elevate itself —is entirely ortho
dox., recognizing as well that Scripture that
“her desire shall be to her husband,” as the
fixed law of social conventionalism which pre
vents any advance on the part of the woman
towards matrimonial relations, it does imply
a facility in the female heart, not exactly con
sistent with the dreams of the poets ! Wher
ever the truth may lie, in the controversy the
facts suggest, no man can pretend to deny
that the-affections of the “softer” and' purer
sex, do embrace, whatever object they rest
upon, with a fidelity which consecrates it and
them alike—-and like the Ivy, covers it with a
a crown of beauty and elegance. “The old
wall” is more than renovated by the Ivy—the
I. decaying tree is beautified—the rugged rock—
! the meanest, ugliest old stump —is rendered an.
i object of attraction and interest. The true
heart of a woman is thus seen to be the-source
of glory and joy to all manhood, and weak as
it may be in the philosophy of its affections, it
is strong and beautiful in the beneficence of its
mission which, after all, may appear to be the
less selfish , as it is the more dependent and
! easily attached. W. F. S.
' The “Shanghai” Iron Clads in France. —A
Paris letter in the New York Times, dated the
29th ult., says :
One of the vessels built at Bordeaux by M. Ar
man, Deputy in the Corps Legislatif, for the Con
federate Government, wus launched on -Thursday
last, and show? herself on the water to be a most
beautiful speeimeu of naval architecture. Au En
glish vessel isj lying at the same port with all the
necessary equipment on board for the nsw vessel,
the articles haying been put on board the English
vessel at Havre. The new vessel wiii not be ready
to Sail yet for some weeks, and she is audaciously
announced iff advertisements as being “up” for
Shanghai. M. Arman, however, has been com
pelled by the French Government to give his word
that none of the vessels he is building shall pass
from his into Confederate hands.
The two ii’on-clads will not be ready for launch
ing yet for three months, but the other three wood
en vessels will soon follow their consorts into the
water. It is feared that by some indirect means
these vessels may Snaly pass into Confenerate
hands
The Georgia, which left the French port of Cher
bourg over a month ago, has just put into the port
of Bordeaux, and on Saturday the officers of this
vessel visited the newly launched Confederate ship.
It is yet unexplained why the Georgia was allow
ed to re enter a French port, contrary to the new
regulation requiring an interval of three months
to elapse between each entry; but I believe this
new regulation makes an exception to the three
month’s rule in favor of coaling; but for this pur
pose £only twenty-four hours is allowed, and the
Georgia seems to be making more than a twenty
four hours stay at Bordeaux.
The distance from Bordeaux to the sea is sev
enty miles, and the occasion seemed so good a
one to entrap the Georgia, that the American
Minister at Paris immediately telegraphed Capt.
Winslow of the faet and the Kearsage, which lately
had been stationed in the channel, Lias by this
time probably arrived off the mouth of the Giron
de. The twenty four hours’ start will be here allow
ed, of course, to the Georgia, but the exit from the
river is narrow iu comparison to other harbors,
and it is easier to keep informed of the movements
of the blockaded vessel in a river than in an open
bay.
The French Government, finding that there was
an intention on the part of the Confederates
to run the Rappahannock out of the port of Caiais
and to go to sea, as they did at Sheeruess with
French leave, have enclosed thq vessel in a doc-k,
and placed a man of war in front of it.
Gen. Sickles has started on his tour of in
spection (political) to the West, and was ex
pected, when he left Washington, to visit Gen.
Banks, and extend his journey so New Or*
leans. He will not find the vineyard of his
miscegen master Abe in a very flourishing
condition, and perhaps will conclude not to
prolong his journey or his researches further
southward than Cairo. If he should we hope
the horse and artillery marines who, to the
gre.tt disgust of Yankee steamboat masters,
infest the bank of The great river, will keep
a bright lookout for the individual who isdis
tinguished as the murderer of l\;Lp Barton
Key and as a prime ft mite nt the -‘White
House.” i

some little ntamvuvring On the part of the infantry,
our forces withdrew. This disappearance was
misconstrued by the valorous toe, who imagined
it a ruse to,get iu their rear.
Fear prevailed hr their deliberation and acting
upon such counsel, they hastily evacuated the city,
greatly to the joy of the inhabitants, who have
been tyrannized over ever since BurnjideS occu
pation of New' era. At a COmrh 'ruling point be
low the city several gmm were ran into position,
and as a consequence, two partially irou-eladgun
boats gracefully bid adieu to the Union, and will
be used by Commander Cook in the coming attack
upon Newbevn.
Our informant is confident that a determined ef
fort for the possession of*that city will be made
by Gem Beauregard. Forces were approaching
trom three directions, and military men seem to be
buoyant iu anticipation of a successful attack in
conjunction with tho navy, which has improvised,
by capture and otherwise five gnnboats. The en
emy’s force inside their fortifications is estimated
at 10,000. This is a formidable force if deter
mined ; but the exigencies of tho times demand
the immediate capture of this important post,
thereby giving our commissariat means to replen
ish, and at the same time relieve a large force to
operate elsewhere. Our forces have already pos

Important News!— We understand by a
gentleman from Demopolis, that General Folk
received a dispatch stating that Kirby Smith
had captured Banks, with about half of his
army, while he was attempting to cross Rod
River, on his retreat to Natchez. We have
every reason to believe in the reliability of the
report, and would not be at all surprised if it
turned out to be true,— Th« Yankees are evi
dently in a. most pitiable plight, and we are
even -prepared to hear of their utter destruc

100,000 men, to serve one hundred days, to be
clothed, armed and equipped by the United
States Government, the men to be raised with
in the limits of the several Northwestern
States. The proposition was accepted by the
President, and the Seretary of War was sub
sequently instructed to receive these troops.
Four or five of the above named Governors
have Issued their State proclamations in this
city, and sent them forward on Saturday.
I The first proposition made to the Govern
j ment by .Northwestern Governors was that
i tire President should issue his proclamation
i for one hundred thousand men for six months,
but, owing to difficulties which could not be
immediately overcome, they agreed to make
the proposition mentioned. If is believed by
the gentlemen who have tendered this new
auxiliary force that they will be able to raise
it within twenty-five days, The new army
will garrison all the forts on the frontier and
I in the rear of active operations, thus enabling
! the veterans now doing post and garrison duty
to join the armies. *
Fatal Accident—A Son of President Davis
Killed by a Fall. —A most distressing accident
occurred at the President's Mansion on Saturday
afternoon last. About five o’clock Joseph E. Da
vis about four years old, son of President Davis,
who had been playing about the yard during the
early part of the evening, was missing, when
search was instituted, and in a short time he wa3
found lying in an insensible condition on the brick
area below the east portico of the residence, with
his left thigh broken anu a severe contusion on
his forehead. When discovered, an elder son of
the President, named Jefferson, was kneeling by,
endeavoring to make him speak, but apparently
not realizing, the reason which prevented
his. brother from doing so. As soon as
possible Drs. Well-ford, Haxull. Conway, and 1 et
fcolas, were in attendance; but all their efforts
proved ineffectual, and the little fellow, after an
hour’s suffering, during which time he was perfect
ly insensible breathed his last. The exact cause
of the unfortunate accident is not known; but as
there was a step-ladder leading from the area in
the yard to the porch above, a distance of from
fifteen to twenty feet it is conjectured that he was
standing near its top. and, losing his balance, fell
over into theyard below. The funeral took place at
five o'clock yesterday afternoon, from St. Paul’s
Church. A large crowd of sympathizing friends
were in attendance, and the ceremonies of the oc
casion were of the most impressive character.

Alcoiiol and China Berries.—
About a year since it was announoed in
the papers that very strong Alcohol had
been distilled from the China berry. As
that never failing crop is now very near
its maturity, and either to be used or
wasted, as usual, it may not be amiss to
to mind those of the fact who have
the means of turning a heretofore value
less article, to some profit. It has been
claimed, we believe, that this alcohol
could be used for medical preparations,
but for burning, and many others uses, in
would be equal to that produced from any
other materiyls. And be added
that the distillation or consumption of the
article could be no offence against the
law, public subsistence or Gov. Brown
Let those catch the idea who have the
machinery to carry it out, do the public
a service and make money out of it.

Standing Firm. —Gov Medary is of
the opinion that the Democracy of Ohio
will stand firm on the peace platform
adopted by the late State convention. In
a late number of the Crisis Mr. Medary
says.
There can be no doubt about the fact
that any attempt to transfer the Democrat
ic party on to a war platform, will be re
sisted with more determination, than some
men who would sell the country for an
office, suppose. They want neither Lin*
coin nor any of his major generals. The
strength, and the whole strength of the
Democratic party, from the first to last, !
has been opposition to this wax—unholy
barbarous and ruinous. j
