HOW I FELL IN LOVE. I fell in love when I was passing a sum mer at Saratoga. She. the w oman I ador ed, I mean, was fair enough to plead my excuse for the truth. She had soft fair hair which she wore in the most glossy of braids, wound round a small, exquis itely shaped head; she had large black eyes, making a most bewitching contrast to the light hair, and a clear pale com plexion, white as snow; black eyebrows and lashes completed the piquant contrast. —She was neither tall nor petite—-just about the size that is the most tempting for the caresses of a tall man—just tall enough for the head to lny confidingly against my shirt front, and the lips to he within kissable distance hv a light bend of my head.' “Mr. Graham, allow me to introduce you to my cousin, who joined our party this morning.” “Thank you for the offer.” And I bent my arm to accommodate the tiny hand of a saucy little brunette, with whom I had been carrying on a desperate flirta tion for three weeks. “What is her name Miss Stanly?” I in quired. “Elizabeth Stanley; hut as she is fair and slender, we call her Lilly.” Lilly Stanley! it was a name to fall in love with. 1 only took one look, and my heart was gone. I distinctly felt the void it left, when it sprang from under my vest into Miss Stanley’s possession. 1 don’t know what she wore, hut her fair face and slender throat rose above clouds of soft white lace. There were pearls here and there; and, altogether, if I had fallen at her feet, I should have only acted out my sensations. It broke in upon this rapturous dream to hear my first flame, Miss Stanley, say, “The Redowa. I am engaged to Capt Hawley, and here he comes.” L)id I ask her to dance? I am sure I don’t know. I recollect only that, five minutes later we were gliding lazily through a slow, dreamy Iledowa, and.I held a tiny white-gloved hand in mine, and found my idol was not the spiritual form she looked, by clasping my arm round a substantial waist—a slender, graceful waste—still made of flesh and blood, likewise silk, whalebone and lace. I wished to have gone home next day; but I could not do it. Leave Saratoga! Leave the paradise that contained my angel! 1 could not endure the idea. My partner wrote the most appalling letter, threatening bankruptcy, ruiu, all sorts of horrors, if 1 did uot appear immediately in the counting-room; hut I wrote savage ly back that ruin was Heaven compared to absence from , and there I stopped, because the carriage waited for me to take my angel to ride. Dick pondered over the blank, but con sidered I must be engaged in some specu lation and wrote warning letters accor dingly. Fink silk and roses, blue silk and for get-mc-nots, lillies of the valley in a white bonnet, and other attractions too numer ous to mention, succeeded the white lace; and hs my senses came slowly back to me, and I had eyes for details, I was charmed with the neatness of every dress, from the glossy braids to the tiny slipper. The silks were deliciously fresh; the lace al ways snowy-white; the skirts and stock ings, sometimes displayed by the raising of a dress, were always so pure, so fine, and smooth, that every day found me more deeply in love. Parting time came at last. Miss Stan ley went to visit her aunt in Boston—I found out that we both lived in Philadel phia—aud I returned to the counting-house and my disconsolate partner. A month of seperation fanned the flame the month of intercourse had lighted in my heart. The face was in all my dreams—now with drooping lillies falling from the soft braids, now set in the fine lace of the most bewitching blue bonnet, now wreathed with pnle pink rose buds, now under the shadows of the drooping white plumes of her riding-hat. Walking down Walnut street one love ly September morning, I saw a lady step into tiie cars. One glance at the neatly- gloved hand sent the blood to my heart; the little gaiter made it give a sudden hound, and a fair face made it palpitate till I nearly choked. She was at home. I should hear again the soft, low voice, whose every modula tion told of her angelic temper. I should see the sweet smile that always greeted me, and again be in Elysium. Ah, me! I could not call until the following morn ing, then I left Dick groaning over neglec ted Western customers, and went home, donned my white suit of linen, with a nar row, black necktie, smoothed my finest shirt over my broad chest, drew on my most in tense pair of pale huff-kids, set a becoming straw hat over nicely arranged curls, and sallied forth I ran lightly up the steps of 161? street and rang the bell, gave my card to tlie girl who opened the door, and went into the parlor. It was in a semi-dark state, fashionable in the warm months, and com ing in from the glaring sunlight—I could see nothing—I groped my way to a scat. “1 say I won’t.” A shrill, harsh voice in the next room gave forth this sentence with an angry vehemence that started me. A low, sweet voice answered: “Lilly, my dear. “Your dear! I don’t want to be coaxed,” answered the first voice. “I will go, and there’s the end of it.” “But you have been away all summer, and Jennie has not left home at all.” “Jennie! What does a great ugly, red faced thing like her want at a watering place ?” “She is your sister.” “Well, let her wait till I’am married, and then she can rule here. I have set my heart on going to aunt Nell’s and I’am going.” The folding doors were thrown violent ly back, and I saw into the next room. Upon the sofa lay a pale, delicate-look ing lady, evidently an ’ “ invalid. Near her stood a tall, rather ugly girl, with a high color, probably “Jennie;” but the most prominent figure stood in the open ing she had made by throwing back the doors. A faded calico wrapper torn un der both arms, fell in uneven folds to the floor, a rent here and there making an ungraceful festoon; the pretty feet were thrust ftito old slippers, and the stockings were—were—well, the word will out— they were dirty stockings on a lady? Faugh? The light hair 1 had so much admired was gone, except a little knot at the back of her head, which was tum bled, and had a dead, dry look; the glossy braids probably reposed upon her dressing glass. She did not see me as I sat in a dark corner; and, crossing the room, she hit her foot on a stool. “Confound the thing!” was her lady like exclamation, and a vicious kick sent the stool spinning across the floor. I rose. “Good morning Miss Stan ley.” A scream, a dash for the door, dark ness came again over the parlor, and I was alone. I fell out of love as rapidly as I had fallen into it, and took my white suit and and blasted hopes out of the front door.

The “Little Villain,” of the New York Times has recently relieved his guilt op pressed soul, by giving utterance to the following: The peculiarities of the people of the United States were never more strikingly illustrated than in the progress of the pres ent war. We are always on the highest pinnacle of hope or in the lowest depths of despair. For the first three months of our campaigning, nothing could exceed the confidence not to say arrogance of the supporters of the Union. We had confidence not only in our strength, but an equal degree of confidence in the rebels weakness. The loyal North was brave, enthusiastic, irresistible. The disloyal South was fearful, lukewarm, and demor alized. The latter had only to be met promptly in the field and they would dissolve as a rebel mob—for were they not without money, and without food/ The early victories in Western Virginia and in Misssouri, where we had sharp and decisive leaders, seemed to sustain the complacent theory of the sanguine Unionists. We rose of mornings only to read of further victories, and to wonder whether, after all Jeff. Davis would ven ture to come with his rebel Congress to so unsafe a place as Richmond. And when we found that a step indicating so much hardihood had been taken, we had per haps a mingled feeling of surprise and pleasure, so sure were we of their cap ture. We rode a high horse in those days, and compelled the rebels, in imagination, to go on foot. Our habitual thought of them Avas, that in due time they should all he hanged. And so avc continued, down to that fine day, all so confiident, “On to Richmond,” and fetched up so uneasily at Bull Run. Since that ill-fated day, the A’ery heav ens arc vexed with our unmanly lamen tations. Noav, all of a sudden, we go to work to unsay all of our proud boastings, and to pull down the air castle, we have so assidiouslv been building. And there is as little reason in the present shocking abasement of ourselves as there Avas in the former exultation and self-glory. The rebels were always strong always deter mined and desperate. That Ave might haA-e known. They had as good generals as the United States have produced. That Ave might have known, for they got them from us. The whole population and moneyed power of the South Avould be wielded aganist us. That was Aveli known, for the last stand of loyalty Avas made when the question of secession Avas an open one to the peo ple of each rebel State. Here, then, Avere elements for a hard fight; and we should haA'e made up our minds to it, and let alone our extravagant conceits of our own A'ast power and the rebels immeasurable Aveak- ness. But Ave did not, and were for our temerity unhorsed at Bull Run. Confederate Treasury 2Vote»* We regret to learn that parties have al ready engaged in counterfeiting the notes of the Confederate Government issue.— The Bank of the City of Petersburg de tected, on Thursday last, a counterfeit of the denomination of fh*e dollars. The Express says of the spurious note : “In the counterfeit bill, the folloA\-ing stipulations are out of the body of the note, but are abo\m and beloAv on the bor der: “Receivable in payment of all dues except export duties,’ and “Fundable Confederate States Stocks, hearing eight per cent, interest.” The counterfeit has no vignette. Avhile the genuine bill has a centre vignette, comprised of a female with a pole and liberty cap, and eagle on the lelt of the female, and on the left end of the bill the figure of a sailor. The numbering and filling up in the counterfeit are very indifferent. The notes should be Avell scanned before received, as doubtless the whole of the denominations issued by the Confederate Government have been counterfeited, and are now in circulation. The counterfeits are signed “S. Sumerson, Register,” the “for” being omitted, “A. L. Rcssoff, Treasurer,” the “for” also omitted here. They purport to have been lithographed by J. Manouvier, New Or leans. The genuine Avere lithographed by Hoyer & Ludwig, Richmond. The Avork of the lithographer in the counterfeit bill is decidedly better than that of the genuine, and it is well calcula ted to circulate freely outside of banking institutions. We are anxious to caution the public in regard to the reception of this issue, as, under the present condition of things, this circulation must, to a great extent, supersede the regular bank circu lation throughout the Confederate States. The Grape in Alabama.—Several citi zens of Talladega have, within a few years past, given considerable attention to the cultivation of the vine, and as the re sult of the labor bestoAved, the Walchtou- er states that Dr. Edwards, frofn 2 1-2 acres of hearing vines, has made 1,500 gal lons of wine, unadulterated by one drop of water, and Mr. Wilman, from about one acre, has made over 300 gallons. A sam ple of this wine would enable ns lo speak in regard to its merits. Gen. McCclloch.—The Salisbury (N. C.)

To the People of Georgia: We now have in the service of the Con federate States twenty-five Regiments and three Battalions, who have gone tinder State authority, and six or seven Inde pendent or Confederate Regiments, who have gone under direct tender to, and or ders from, the Secretary of War, making together about 30.000 gallant Georgia troops. Ch'er 20,000 of this number are now in Virginia. They are our fellow-citizens, our neigh bors, our friends, our relati\-es. They are enduring all the hardships and toils of a soldier’s life, in defence of our wh es, our children and our common country. Win ter will soon be upon us ; and it will be impossible for them to get, especially in Virginia, with the money allowed them for that purpose, by the Confederate Govern ment, such supplies of clothing, shoes, and blankets as are absolutely necessary, in that severe climate, to their health and comfort. Shall we permit them to suffer for the necessaries of life, while avc have plenty at home? Never! To pre\ r ent this, I propose, at public expense, to pur chase for them, such supplies as can be had in Georgia, of such articles as are most essential. Some of our manufacturers are making a good at tide of plain woolen cloth; oth ers arc making leather and shoes, while our ladies, who have acted so noble a part, are, in different parts of the State, making quantities of woolen jeans cloth. The sol- dieis need all Ave can spare. I wish to purchase for them 30,000 pair of good, plain, serviceable shoes; and woolen doth, including country jeans ; enough to nmke 30,000 suits of clothing : together with all the good blankets that can he found in the market. I therefore invite all manufacturers of shoes, or woolen doth, avIio can assist in supplying the demand, aud all persons having good blankets for sale, to inform me of the Supply which each can furnish, and the price at which each article can be afforded. I also request the Clerk of the Superior Court in each county to act as agent, for the purchase of Avoolen jeans from the ladies, and to inform me at an early day of the price of that article in his county. It is hoped that the ladies will use every reasonable exertion to make a supply of this A-ery desirable and useful article, and will furnish, delivered at the offices of the Clerks of the Superior Courts, at reasonable prices, all they can spare. Prompt action is respectfully so licited. The supplies ahoA r e mentioned are in tended alike for all Georgians in the ser- A'ice, Avherever they may be, embracing as well those who belong to Independent or Confederate Regiments, as those who be long to regularly organized State Regi ments. Assistance to be afforded first to those found to he most needy. Copies of this address will be forwarded to the Sec retary of War Avith request that he send them to the Colonels commanding regi ments from Georgia, who are respectfully requested to report to me at the earliest day possible, such necessities of those un der their respective commands as can not he supplied with the means at their disposal. 1 am informed that large numbers of soldiers, from this State, are norv sick in Virginia, far away from their homes and frieuds. They must have prompt atten tion. A patriotic and humane association of Georgians at Richmond have taken steps to establish a Hospital there, for our sick and wounded. They haA-e informed me of the facts, and appealed to me for as sistance, and I have promptly ordered the funds which are necessary to establish the Hospital to be placed at their disposal. They avi 11 need supplies of sheets, blank ets, coverlets, and such other articles as may be necessary to alleviate the suffer ings, and add to the comfort of the sick and wounded. I appeal to the ladies of Georgia to take from their OAvn household supply, and send enough, at once, to re lieve the sick and wounded. Let the do nations from each locality, be boxed and and sent, witli the names of the donors, and the use for which they are contrib uted, to Quarter Master General Ira R. Foster, at Atlanta, who avi 11 forward them to Virginia at public expense, together with any contributions which maybe made to the soldiers by their friends. Citizens of Georgia, our cause is the cause of religion and humanity. The struggle in which Ave are engaged, is the struggle of a great and free people, to maintain their heritage of Liberty and In dependence, transmitted to us by our Rev olutionary fathers of 1776. The effort of the Lincoln Government is an effort to subjugate us to tyranny .and oppression. The cause of the Confederate States is the cause of every patriotic citizen of the South. We believe God is with us, and presides in our councils. Let us try to live near to Him and implore His contin ued favor. We have at the helm of State, the distinguished Statesman and in- A'incible warrior, Jefferson Davis. By his side Ave have Georgia’s OAvn great States man, Alexander II. Stephens. They are worthy of our fullest confidence. Let us all with one heart and mind, by universal acclamation, continue them in the proud position they now occupy. Their suc cess is our success, tlieir defeat would be our defeat ! At the call of the President, our troops have rallied to their country’s standard, and are ready to shed their blood if need be, in their country’s cause. They now call upon us for necessary supplies. The sick and Avounded appeal to us for as sistance. Shall the appeal he made in vain ? I know it will not. I am very respectfullv, JOSEPH E" BROWN. The C'onrt'utsoia. The prospect is that the Conventiouists, by postponing their day of meeting one month, and industriously stirring up their friends in the several counties, will be able t<> get up a Convention on Wednesday. The appointment of delegates to it was a very easy matter in counties in which they only invited to their meetings those favorable to the Convention. But in oth er counties, in Avhich the question of send ing delegates at all Avas left to the people, they have been unable to send a delega tion. We have already noticed one or two instances of this kind ; and Ave now see that in Wilkinson county, on the 3d inst., at the meeting called to consider the question, it was unanimously resolved not to send delegates to either the proposed State or Senatorial Convention ; and at a meeting held in Crawford county on the 2d, during the term of the Superior Court, the question “Shall we be represented in the Convention?” was put and decided in the negative by a large majority. [Enquirer. — Kit Carson.—Kit Carson, the veteran hunter and prairie guide, has raised a regiment of volunteers for the Union on his old stumping gronnd in New Mexico. TVhnt DofH thi* .Tican ? The following is the leading editorial article in the Cincinnati Commercial oi the 30th ; For the first time the rebels are at a loss as to where they are to be struck.— The circulation of female spies and trait orous Northern newspapers being greatly circumscribed, and the disloyal clerks in the various departments of the Govern ment being closely watched, and the pub lication of army moA-ements being so fat restricted as to embarrass the inquiries after truth, and the arrest of spies and oth er agents of the conspirators in the North render more circumspection in their move ments available, our “Southern brethren” are really beginning to be plagued to ktioAv what we are about. More than all this, the Adams’ Express has stopped car rying letters to the South, and telegraphic dispatches are not to be forwarded from Louisville any more, while increased vig ilance is to be exercised all along the Ohio, to prevent smuggling and stop the movements of the conspirators. This will really embarrass our “Southern brethren.” They will not knoAv where to look for the blow. The next they know, a mighty fleet, with ten thousand men aboard, will open one of their cotton ports and let a streak of daylight into the benighted re gions of the original Secessia. YelloAv Jack is not guarding their coast this year. The NeAv England skippers knoAv the Southern coast far better than the South erners themselves knoAv it. “Things is Avorkin’.” The reverses which the people of the North have met have not chauged the order of things, or reversed the march of empire. This is folloAved up by another editorial paragraph as folloAvs : There is reason to belieA-e that the pro found repose which the Southern coast, and the nests of the conspirators in the cotton States, have been permitted to en joy, Avill hereafter he seriously disturbed. Gen. Butler’s expedition is not the only one that Avill be launched. There is noth ing to prevent the embarkation of ten thousand men at Baltimore any day, to strike a LIoav somewhere on the Southern coast. It Avould not surprise us to learn that Gen. McClellan, having securely fortified Washington, had made a “for ward movement” by way of Charleston, Savannah, or NeAv Orleans. Ill TlciiiorauiM. The Richmond Examiner says feAV men have lived more beloved or died more la mented than the late Colonel Bartow.— Every man in his regiment seemed to re gard him as a personal friend, and his at tentions to the comforts of his men, both privates and officers, gave him a strong hold upon their regard and gratitude.— We Avere reminded of this, a feAV days since, upon seeing in the yard of John W. Davis, of this, a neatly executed column, about six feet high, and a foot in diameter, which has since been erected as a ceuotapli on the field of Manassas, on the spot a\ here the hero fell. It bears simply his name and dying Avords : “FRANCES S. BARTOW.” “They have killed me, boys, But never give up the fight.” We were not surprised to learn, upon enquiry, that it was executed and erected at the expense of the Eighth Regiment oi Georgia Volunteers.—Republican. ApprclimvionN in Philadelphia* The Philadelphia Ledger says : While avc may entertain unbounded con fidence in the gallant men and their gifted Generals who guard the line of the Poto mac, Ave must bear in mind that whatever disasters avc have experienced thus far have arisen from over-confidence, and that there is a possibility of further disasters, against the results of which it is simple prudence to guard ourselves. In the present temper of Baltimore and Mary land, it is quite probable that a serious re verse to our arms on the Potomac Avould transfer the seat of war to this side of Bal timore. The rebels have shown us their expectations and intentions by extending their military system, by act of the Rich mond Congress, over not only Maryland, but over Delaware—and Delaware’s Northern boundary is but a few miles be low Chester. In this vieAV' of the matter, Philadelphia becomes a frontier city, and is to be strenglitened as such. Yet, what has been done to meet a contingency which the chances of war may at any mo ment bring upon us ? Our Home Guard and RoserA'c Brigade are but a nucleus ol partially trained soldiers, and though our teeming population would be ready to pour forth manfully, they would a\ 7 ail but little in the open field. It is only behind de fences that our numbers could be made available, and those defences should be provided. This article, on account of its scarcity and high price, at this time, commands public attention. The following ou the subject may, therefore, be of interest to those engaged in its manufacture : The Process of Making Good Butter.— The first great essential in butter making is cleanliness. The milk-house, spring house, vault, or Avhatever the place in which milk is kept, should be clean and sweet in every particular. The Avails should he Avhitewashed at least every three or four Aveeks, and the arrangements for ventilation should be such as will give, whenever desired, full ingress to fresh air. Pure, sweet air, is absolutely necessary to the making of pure, sweet butter. The milk-vessels must also be kept perfectly clean. This can be done only by regular and frequent washin scalding and scouring. Skimming of the cream, is the next point of importance. It should be done with great care. The purer the cream, the bet ter the butter will be and the easier the churning. The cream should be churned at the furthest, at thirty-six hours from the .time it Avas drawn from the cow. If left a longer time, the cream assumes a strong taste, which spoils the flavor of the butter. Besides that it is more difficult to churn. The temperature of the cream is also very important, and should receive the dairy woman’s close attention, if she wish es to save herself a large outlay of time and labor. From 55 to 60 deg. is about the proper temperature. If below this, the butter particles do not separate readi ly, and if above it, the color, flavor and consistency of the butter are all injured When the butter begins to form, a little cold water should be poured into the churn, and the dashers moved slowly back and forth, in order to prevent the butter from closing too rapidly, while at the same time it gives every particle of cream a chance to furnish its quota of bat ter. Where, in the winter-season, bat few cows are kept, and it is not convenient to have the milk-room slightly wanned as is usually done in large dairies, it is advisa ble to place the cream by the stove, keep ing it well stirred, so that the tempera ture may be at the same throughout the entire quantity. A thermometer should be regarded as an indispensable appendage to every dairy. Where a thermometer is not convenient, the proper temperature of the cream may be pretty closely deter mined by testing it with the finger.— It should feel not quite so warm as new milk. Upon the proper working of butter de pends much of its superiority. Machines for the purpose have been inA-ented ; but where the quantity to be worked is not large, the butter-spoon or ladle Avill an swer every purpose. So long as adrop of milk, however minute, oozes from the mass when cut dotvn with the spoon, so long should the working be continued. There is no fixed rule for salting butter, some preferring more, and some less salt. An ounce of salt to the pound is the quan- tity generally used. After the salt has been worked in, the butter should be al- loAved to stand twenty-four hours, and then be worked over. By the second working, not only rendered more solid and compact, but the salt is more thoroughly incorpora ted, the streaks are avoided, and the but ter will keep sweet a longer time. A Tl^tr killed In Frincc William Parish By A Xcgro. We are indebted to Mr. Jas. E. De- Loach for the folloAving interesting state ment: ‘1 write to chronicle a fact that I sup pose no one would-have ever believed like ly to occur again in South Carolina. On Tuesday morning, the 13th tilt., by the datvn of day, Henry, a servant of Mr. Jesso M. Mixson, (avIio is uoav in the service at at Braddock’s Point) and Toney, a lad of 10 or 12 years old, started out a “coon hunting,” and in going to the field they passed a small pond about 150 yards from the negro quarters. Their dog, Buck, passed through the pond, Avhen they saw some huge animal run out, and their faith ful dog in full cry pursuing. They sup posed it a deer, but in a fe vr minutes they heard Buck** “baying” at the top of Iris voice very faithfully. They aproaelied the tree, and saw on a pine distinctly a huge animal, growling and wagging its tail. Henry sent home immediately for the gun, nad when it came made a capital shot, aim ing at the head, and bringing the tiger to the ground. Mrs. Mixson sent round and sum moned the neighbors to come and see the animal. 1 availed myself of the opportu nity, with others, and found it to he 6 feet and 10 inches long ; 2 feet 5 inches high; 15 inches deep across the breast; 7 inches wide across the face, just above the eyes; and 12 inches around the fore leg, above the first joint. The head and legs of this monster seemed to be much larger in propor tion than the body.”—Charleston Mercury. Bleaching Powders. The following letter calls the attention ofcapitalists to an important subject—the manufacture of bleaching poAvders. Wo join with our correspondent in the hope that some of our enterprising men av ill take hold of the business, and put in operation without delay. We append the letter here : Dahlonega, Ga., Sept. 3,*1861. Hear Sir: As much uneasiness is being felt by many of our paper-makers andedi- tors, about the supply of chloride of lime, I will direct your attention to two locali ties of the black oxide of manganese, from which it is made. One isowned by Win. Dorn, of South Carolina, forty miles above Augusta, and 7 miles from the Savannah rh’er, of good quality and exhaustible quantity; the other near Cartersville, Ga. The manufacture of bleaching powder is a monopoly by Mr. Tennant, ot Glasgow. Scotland, who supplies America at from $45 to $50 per ton, and gets his manganese from Germany at $27 per ton, (average price ) He has used the article from Mr. Dorn’s mine, and finds it of superior quali ty. The best of corbonate of lime may be obtained in Carolina and Georgia for its manufacture. The process is simple, though expensive, in consequence of the cost of the retorts, which arc made of platina, in Tennant’s factory, and cost $9,- 000 each. The chlorine gas is passed through tubes from the retorts into a chamber, the floor of which is covered with lime, which, being ranked frequently, absorbs the chlorine and makes the com mon bleaching powder. I hope some of our enterprising men will at once commence the manufacture of it, and render ourselves independent of the North or Europe. Respectfully, M. F. STEPHENSON. Cotton at Memphis.—During the last week 132 bales of cotton were received here and 37 reshipped. Yesterday being the last day of the business year the Se cretary of the Chamber of Commerce per sonally counted all the cotton in the city, and found 1,670 bales. The stock on hand at the conclusion of the season a year ago was 1,709 hales. Not a single bale of new cotton has yet reached the city. This time last year 275 bales of new cotton had arrived.—Memphis Appeal 1st inst. Testing Coin by Smell.—Connected with the New York custom house is a clerk Avliose business is to receive and and test all money. He is a Spaniard by birth, but has been a long while in the country. Into a scale he empties a bag of gold or silver coin, and from the weight in a moment announces the amount in dollars and cents. He then runs his fingers through the coins several times, and ap plies them to his nose, after which he Avill immediately take out every counter feit coin. His infallible facility of detec ting spurious metal is located in his olfac tory organs. The New Style of Shoes.—Mention has been made in the public prints of the in troduction of a new kind of shoe for the army, made of canvas. Such contrivan ces to avoid the use of leather are com mon in Yankee land. Many of the prison ers captured by our forces in the battle at Manassas Avore the kind of shoe alluded to They are said to be admirable for march ing purposes, being durable and fitting easily to the foot. At the North they cost oaly $1.50 per pair. Burning of the Dry Dork.—A Pensa cola correspondent of the Columbus Sun writes under date of the 3d instant : Last night., about 11 o’clock, the skies were illuminated by the light of a fire at the Navy Yard, which proved to be the fa mous Dock which old Brown refused to let us meddle Avith. The steamer from the Yard this morning, corroborates the belief of our citizens here, as to its being the Dock. Many thought it was burned by the Lincolnites. But I have ascertaiued that it was done by orders from Gen. Bragg. Why it Avas done, nobody knows, but it was for a purpose beneficial to us, or Gen. Bragg would not have ordered it done. —mmm+mmmrn—.
