We have thought, hitherto, that is w*« impossible for Mrs Clarke, se thoroughly is she imbued with the epirit of Momai, t» assume a grave face, but she agreeably surprised aa a* J/ *. f -,-eas, looking as serious and demure as a qaaker. Mrs. Crisp, as Lady Somrby Or-atnby. enterea into ‘.he sp-irit of the character with infinite zest. Mr. Hamllt* n, aa the Captain, was gay and easy. The singing was much better than usual- “Oar Jessie" sing in* “Sparking 'unday Night." with muck grace and naivete'.

In it is a letter from Grant to Sheridan, in which he direct.* him te burn every house in the Valley; te kill every horse, cow, hog. sheep, or other animal: to destroy efery mill: to set fire to every bara. wheat or hay suck: to cut down every ornamental tree and carry off every negro. He say* if this war continues twelve months lenger, he desire* to convert the whole Valley into a howling wilderness. Tnere is nothing ia modern history so atrocious as this order. It is the act of a man with ma i brains and great vanity, who has been beaten and baffied until his senses have Cod completely. It is tie out-pouring es a beaten and wounded spirit. He cannot whip Lee, but he can starve the women and ehiidrea. We turn him over to Gea. Leo. This order was issued while Shmdaa was, as he thought, carrying every thing before him. It had not time to be published before he was flying down the Val ey with his freeWecers, and Early ia pur suit. Is there a man belonging to the Valley whe can stay away from his colors under such circum stances ? If there is, he most be dead to all the im pulses that ennoble man. Never wa* vengeance m re loudly eaUed for. Tie Cincinnati Commercial is mendacious enough to report the story that Got. Brown tendered peace proposition* to Sherman, and adds: "The general has appointed commissioners to go into the Cmfed- < erate line* and confer with the State authorities of Georgia, lov. Brown, it is rumoyed and believed, is sustained in his policy by Alexander Stephens, who is operating in the back ground. The commix si-Hers are said to be already in conference with the Governor, and thepea.-e propositions will soon be forwarded to Washington, for the President’s ap ’ pro val. This is an important m vemeot, as Geor gia, occupying the position she does, aaay be con sidered the Key-Stone State o: the Southern Con federacy. We .are assured tbs' the story i* true, and sincerely hope that the movement >may te fraught with success." The Commercial’s nope will c*r - y fail to be realized, for every statement upon which it is based is false. The Presidential election ia the North takes place on the >i of next month, being the first Thursday in November. Ihe election is Almost, if not quite, as important a one to this continent a* the memor able one which took place four year* previous and which foisted a fool into the chair of Washington, a fanatical faction into power and a great and peace ful and prosperous p-eeple into civil war. East Tinnesseb.— While the operation* at Sakville were going- on. savs the Lynchburg Republican, East Tennessee was entirely evac uated by oar force* and the Yankees took ad vantage of this circumstance to partially burn the county bridge across the Watauga, at Carter s station. They also tried to bora the railroad bridge at the same place, bat this being bat recently built of green timber, was bat Rule injured. The bridge across the Hol st ob at Zoliicoffer. ten miles from Bristol, was destroyed, but the cowardiv Yankees were afraid to trust theta-elre? in Bristol for fear they might catch a Tartar.

The Cincinnati Commercial furnishes the following description of the infernal machines lately discovered in Indianapolis . These implements of destruction are of the qjost formidable character, and one of thetp ia particular, deserves a minute description Tbi* is the hand grenade. It consists of two hoi-, low iron globes the one being contained with in the other. The larger or outside globs consist? of two neniispheres which screw to gether. making a perfect sphere. Thie is three inches in diameter, and when the two parts are screwed tight together it presents ao opening. The smaller sphere, which is con tained in the larger. bus of course, perfectly disconnected therefrom, is also hollow aui about two inche* ia diameter. In the exterior surface of the globe there are seven holes, one being a quarter of an inch in diameter, and the other six. say a sixteenth of an inch. The large hole is of course isteaied simply te ee used in placing the Greek fire er other combi*- i tibles within the inner glebe of the shell. The other holes, which are punctured at Icgniar at*- taices in the glebe, are covered on th* exterior •nrface with smah brass tube* simitar to a piste! tube or "nipple,” on each es which a cap fit* tightly. Now let thi? shell be filled with the elements et destruction, each tube or nipple cevere i with a can, this longer orifice tightly plugged, and the whe.e affair, as thus prepared, cestaised within the larger globe, and we have the most formidable band-grenade ever [made —the most surely des tructive ever known ; and for thi* reason : The smaller globe doe? set by any means fit tightly within the larger, bat has room to move, eecse qneatly the leas: motion causes one of these iiflle aipp.es te *trike against the outward surface of the outside shell with more er less violence, and it requires but slight concussion te exp.ode the affair and scatter destruction around. The other articles are less formidable ia appear ance. One is a conical she!!, aa inch in diameter at the base, aad about six inches long, intended te St on the end of a rocket. The other is the modei cf a peculiar rocket bat*try te be ssed ii dischar ing- say a dozen at a lime, of these iheil rocket*. Marriage or Miss Belle Born.—On the morning o: Aug. 25, a ni-st icterssting ceremony of marriage took place at the Church es .St. James Picaddi y. The bridegroom. LieuL Samuel Milde Harding, wh# is about >0 years of age, was av ’ officer ia the United States Xayy, holding the rask of Lieutenant on board es tae American war steamer Connartacu. Toe lady, who is abeat -he .-case *ge as the gallant bridegroom, was the daughter of Gen. Boyd, of the Southern State? army, who lately expired in prison, haring been made prisoner by the Federais. The lady’s ca reer isfull of the most eventful, heroic and roman tic feat are#. Her father Gen. Boyd, who possesses vast estates in the territory af Virginia, early am braced the cause of Soathern independence, ana was soon entrusted with a command, obtaining the rank of General. His daughter, the bride en thuasticaHy embraced the same cause, followed her father to the field, and accompanied him through: at his campaign with the celebrated StonewsL Jacksen, and on two occasions, heroic ally. as a modern Joan of Arc, led on the treep* te battle; she was, however, in a skirmish, cap toned aad made prisoner*, and conveyed to Wash ington, where she was imprisoned. Here she remaiaed thirteen months, when ska was exchanged for Gen. Cochrane, who had been made prisecer by the Confederates. On her re turn to the South, she went en board the Grey hound, a Confederate steamer, which was captur ed by the Federal steamer Ccnnae tacit, while run ning the blockade. Lt Harding was sent on heart the Greyhound as prise master, with his young heroine as a prisoner. The result was that they mutually became enamored, and escaped togeth er from the ship and foued their way to this country, the bride having succeeded in withdraw mg her iover froir hi* allegiance to the fel ted States 2ag, aad ena'tod his sympathies aad support for the South. It is tne intention of Lt.
