A Russian Dinner.—The Russian claims to excel in the art of dining. An Englishman being at Moscow, they gave him a specimen. At three, P. Jl., was bathed, rubbed, kneeded,’flogged all over with lauTestina boughs, wrapped and served wfcli quoass and tampopo, which, are cooling beverages to allay the beat of the bath and flogging. At five o’clock, bread and butterjsalt cucumbersmnnd native brandy and liquors were served up to whet the appetite. At halfpast five, dinner to the music of a large unseen organ; first, open pates or small trout, then soup made of eel-pouts and small-sturgeons— this is so rich that it looks like mel ted gold, and cost not quite so so much then, chicken cutlets, covered with areamy paste of sliced apples “gher kins, plums, almonds; then, beef in slices, fat and lean, v it It an inconceivable and in- | describable sauce; then, artichokes stuffed with mushrooms which had been melted in butter; then a dumpling made of ail kinds of meat chopped up with eggs, on ions honey capers potatoes olives, .peas and lemons, then, a soup made of tea leaves, rye flour, and salt cucumbeis, and frozen at that—a dish that sets a Russian epi cure, distracted. ftid no wonder, then, five hundred other things, and all sorts, of preserves and rich wines, topped off by yellow tea worth nine dollars a pound, in a tumbler with no inilk, but a slice of cit ron. Then singing girls and smoking. Hyena Chase.—Unite an exciting affair recently happened at Van Amburg A.Co’s Menagerie, in Philadelphia iust before open ing tlie doors for the morning’s exhibition resulting fortunately, in rio serious mishap. A large striped hyena was taken from his cage, in order to make room for an ostrich just added to the collection, ami chained tea stake while new quarters were being arranged for liiin. lie, however, managed to free himself from the chain which was attached to his neck by a strap, and set off with great energy in search of a way of exit from the pavillion. which covers an acre of ground. Care was immediately ta ken to fasten down the sidfes of the tent, but for some three quarters of an hour a very lively time was experienced in run ning down and securing the ugly beast, which resisted all attempts to capture him snailing and snapping at his pursuers in the most spiteful manner. He was fi nally secured by throwing a slip noose over his head. While the pursuit was go ing on, the elephants became highly ex cited, and it required the utmost exer tions of their keepers to quiet them, so anxious were they to volunteer their assis tance in the chase. From Aorfolk-—Late advices from Nor folk represent the Federals in that section as greatly alarmed at the recent move ments of General Jackson and the terri ble slaughter of McClellan’s army Jn the battles of Saturday and Sunday, May 31st and June 1. But 3,00U troops now occupy Portsmouth and Norfolk, ami these, it is said, are being rapidly sent off in other directions. The Federals have torn up the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad six teen miles this side ot Suffolk, and sent the iron off to the North. It is also said that they have blown up all the fortifica tions around Norfolk, and the rumor was that they contemplated an evacuation of the place. Our informant states that ten valuable negroes were shot down in the I streets of Norfolk last week because they | refused to leave their owneis, and that ttio j Yankees say they have long since ceased ! to regard the negroes of the South as any- j thing else but a most tolerable nuisance, j and one which they intend to abate by the j sword if necessary. We have nimors also that the yellow fever has made its appearance in Norfolk but we ihin ktbisincorrect. The withdraw al of the military forces about Norfolk and Portsmouth we'think correct as it is very probable that McClellan needs reinforce ments, and that the Yankee Capital has been considered greatly endangered by the recent movements of General Jackson. There are other ways to reach that “sink of iniquity”than crossing the Potomac at j W illiamsport.—Petersburg Express. Maryan in Nashville.-sW o learn from | an authentic source that great excitement; was created in Nashville a few dajs «ja 0 j by the report that John. H. Morgan had arrived in the city over night, ant was boldly stopping at a well known hoarding house. The Federal Provost Mnrsnal im mediately ordered out a large force for ln» capture the house was surrounded m sueli a manner as to render his escape impossi hie, and the officer who had charge ot the expedition, feeling secure of his game, demanded with some show of politeness that the notorious John U • Morgan should be brought out and delivered to the fed eral force, quietly, in order to avoid blood shed—The gallant Federal was some what chagrined when he was informed that such a process would be h>g > ) uetiimeu tal to tlic health of John H. Morgan who had arrived the night previous and was but six hours old-* patriotic bnutbern woman having bestowed that honored name upon her new born boy.- -KnoxnUe Register. they were driven. But there is something still more curious about the case. It happens that the in tervention so anxiously deprecated by the General, trom his headquarters, announced , Federals must, if exerted at all, be exert- to his insolent followers that they are at j e< ] to their prejudice.

Tbe belligerents have been citizens of the same State, and were connected by the closest ties of lineage, language and institutions. ‘ The bonds of commerce, which, if well knit, must, we are told, always prevail against war, existed between these to such an extent as could never be realized be tween independent States. The conflict itself is so hopeless that peace ought to be more than ever acceptable as an alterna tive. and yet what, with all these usually favorable conditions, is found to be the re sult? Why, that arbitration could hardly be so much as attempted. At first it was rejected with indignation, and if it should be accepted now, it will only be because the combatants have learn- threw him, and bis foot hanging in the stir rup, was wrenched badly—it being the foot and leg, he was 60 unfortunate as to get broken some months ago.

History records instances of cities sack ed and inhuman atrocities committed up- j landed at New York without causing any perceptible increase in the fabulous num bers of the Noithern armies. We might women of a conquered town, but in i^seti.d them three times as many soldiers as 1 I we sent to Canada, without adding five ! per cent, to their forces in tiie field. No ruler in the world, not even the first Napo- ; leon, ever disposed of so mfiny men or so • much money as Abraham Lincoln. He has fully 650,000 trooj »« now under J arms, and it is boasted that he could dou ble that number. His finances may rest tfo instance in modern times, at least, with out tiie brutal ravisbers suffering condign punishment from the hands of their own commanders. It was reserved for a Fed eral General to invite his soldiers to the perpetration of outrages at the mention of which the blood recoils in horror—to quicken the impulses of their sensual in- stiflets by the suggestion ot transparent on a less stable foundation, but be lie lias, excuses for tbeir gratification, and to add to an infamy already well merited these crowning titles of a panderer to lust and desecrator of virtue. Maddened by the noble loyalty of our people fti tiie Government of tbeir affec tions, and at tbeir disgust and execration of fheir invaders ; stung into obliviousness of the world’s censure by 7 *the grand offer ing made ofour property- upon the altar of our liberties; bis passions inflamed by the sight of burning cotton illumining the river, upon whose waters floats tbe pow erful fleet that effected the downfall of our chief city ; disappointed, chafed, and chagrined that our people, unlike his own, do not measure liberty-, truth, or honor by a pecuniary standard, lie sees tbe fruits of a victory lie did not help to win eluding Iris grasp, and nothing left upon which to gloat his vengeance but unarmed men and helpless women. Louisianar.s ! will you suffer such foul conduct of your oppressors to pass unpun ished l Will you permit such indignities to remain unavenged ? A mind so de based as to be capable of conceiving tbe alternative presented in this order must be fiuitful of inventions wherewith to pollute humanity. Shameless enough to allow its publication in tbe city the atrocities countenanced by- it will be multiplied in the country, its inhabitants must arm and strike, or the insolent victors will offer this outrage to your wives, your sisters and your daughters. Possessed of New Orleans by means of his superior naval force, he cannot penetrate the interior if you resolve to prevent it. It does not re quire a force of imposing magnitude to im pede his progress. Companies of experi- at any- rate, enough to spare for the time. In no political or military operations have the Federals ever been hampered by the want of men and money-, ami if they had to spend so^c time in turning citizens into soldiers, their enemies were under the same obligation. Intervention, therefore, on behalf of the North, would be simply a nullity, for no alliance could add to its power or promote its end. The case of ^lie South, however, is to tally difl’erent. So singular is the position of the Confederates that, though all the powers of Europe could do them do harm, the intervention of any-one of these pow ers might do them an infinity of good.— They are weak, but nothing can make them weaker than they are, whereas, the help of a single ally might treble their strength in a moment. A little squadron such as even a minor maritime power might dispatch to American waters wAuld suffice to raise the blockade for a longer or shorter period, and in that period the South might turn its cotton into money-, into munitions of war. It is for want of these opportunities that | the Confederates have been fighting at so I serious a disadvantage. They contrive j even from their inferior numbers to match ! tbe numbers of the North, but they are beaten in guns, gunboats and all thescien- j tifie appliances of war which manufactur- , ipg industry creates, and which money 1 purchases. What they- most want is the ; freedom of the sea and a highway to the markets of the world. Once placed on a level with their antagonists in this respect, ] they would have little to fear from numer- j ical superiority, which their defensive po- i sition would counterbalance. The reeog- the enemy this side of the river, compell- | ing him to a most disastrous retreat, and j proving decisive of Lite campaign. There I were, no doubt, ob-tacles in the way of j which we are not aware, and which will j be cleared up hereafter, when the histori an, with all the documents in his posses sion, shall come to treat of these eventful times. The Whig, of yesterday, says that only 20.000 of our men fought, while the enemy deployed a force of 50,000 against ns.— From other sources we are informed that we had -30,000 men, while the enemy bad 55.000 on the field. From all the infor-. mation we can gather, it seems certain that they were nearly, if not quite, two to one. Now, while we can hardly- ap plaud the tactics which, with so great a force as we had, allowed the enemy to be superior on the important point, we have learned a most important secret from these battles. We can beat him two to one. If he come, with only- equal numbers, as be will be compelled to do hereafter, we can annihilate him. It must be recollected that ©ur brave hoys not only drove him from the field, but stormed his entrench ments with the vigoi; and impetuosity- of veteran soldiers. The Imperial Guard of Napoleon, or the 42d regiment ot Scotch Highlanders, could not have acted more courageously. Our loss.was heavy, of course, where we had to storm entrenchments so strong and so situated. But it lias been much exag gerated. We learn that 2,500 killed and wounded, would cover it all. Considering tiie forces engaged, this is not a heavy loss, at least in comparison with European bat tles. There was, we learn, a very unusu al proportion of wounded, ft swell the list, and of these a larger proportion than usual received wounds in the arms and hands, and will recover. Of the enemy’s loss, we have no means of ascertaining the exact amount. That it was enormous, everybody who saw the field of battle ad mits. Some say that it was two and a half to our one ; some that it was three; some that it was as much as four, and some that it was even five. Negroes and deserters, escaped from their lines, say they buried four thousand. At least they say the officers told them so, and that the wounded exceed all calculation. Killed, wounded, prisoners, and drowned, we have not the least doubt that this battle cost them at least 10,000 men. But it has cost them, morally, more than this. It has taught them the extreme difficulty- of reaching this city, and must, of course, have had upon their minds a demoralizing ; effect. On the contrary, it has inspired j our troops with the highest enthusiasm, j Equal in numbers upon the whole, they j will be full of confidence hereafter. \ Richmond Dispatch 6th.

The 14th were cross fired upon. Just as the regiment moved up to the charge, Maj. Win, A Harris discovered a regiment of Yankees drawn up in line of battle on the left, prepared to flank us, and called Gen. Hampton’s attention to it. The General could do nothing in re gard to it. not having the force to prevent it, but ordered the charge. The boys with a yell went on, and as foreseen by Major Harris, that regiment flanked and poured a deadly tire upon our brigade. I cannot say- who fought best, all fought well; and all we ask is a fair showing in an open fight, and not be led into an ambuscade again. General Hampton was wounded in .the foot, and his brigade temporarily has been broken until lie can resume com mand. The 14th is attached to the gal lant General Archer’s, of Texas, brigade.

( In Front of Enemy, 4th June, 1S62, ) Mr. Editor: On Saturday evening, the j 31st of May, the 14th Ga. made her i debut into battle, and for three long hours : fought as Georgians can fight, until night i closed the contest. Three times we char- j ged upon the concealed battery through the thickest undergrowth imaginable,Tnen : falling down over the impediments, but ; rising, and with a yell onward pressed ! —towards that fearful battery that was i raining shell, grape, canister and solid j shot amons: us—but, my God, what odds; Good Marksmanship.—At the battle of Shiloh, it is estimated, thej-e were dischar ged on the Confederate side, one million balls from small arms. The official report of the Federal loss in killed and wounded is 13,000. Allowing that the true num ber was much greater, say 10,000, still it leaves 980,000 shots thrown away by our soldiers. That is, our boys succeeded one time out of fifty shots in doing some exe cution. Forty nine misses and one hit! Now would’nt it be better to save the powder and lead, do less shooting and more execution? It is known that most guns overshoot. The aim therefore should not be above the knee — Better to shoot at the feet than fail of effect. An enemy wounded is better that) an enemy killed, since t<> bear off and care for the wounded abstracts one or more effective men from tbe lines. Don’t shoot wildly. You might as well not shoot at all. If you are confronted by one hundred thousand foes, a discharge of 300,000 balls ainst their lines, judiciously and coolly of thanksgiv country from “foreign intervention,’ which he identities with nothing less than ‘inva sion.’ The instincts of the combatants have undoubtedly led them to correct de- three brigades of Yankees lay entrenched , directed, within properrange would decide, around that battery, and at thirty yards the battle.

The Correspondent met Gen. Pentiss.- and his fellow-Y'ankee prisoners, on tbeif , way from Selma to Atlanta, to be exchan ged, and quotes him as saying, in tbe course of a conversation upon the battlt of Shiloh:— “General Beauregard stopped the pur suit at a quarter to six ; had he used tbe hour still left him he could have captured 1 the last man on this -side of the river, for Buell did not. cross till Sunday night.” This latter opinion is entertained by some of our own officers who were in front at the time tbe order to cease the pursuit w as received.-—Indeed. I have beard that Bragg and Hardee, hesitated about obey ing the order, so well convinced were they that General Beauregard would not have - issued it if he had been present smd un derstood the exact position of t i.e two *' , mies. Desultory firing was kept up til night by detached parties who w late in receiving the order, and hence many supposed the battle continued until night separated the combatauts. According to Buell’s report, our shot were falling among the fugitives crouching under the river bank at the time our troops were called off. Beauregard acted, doubtless, from the best information he had at the time, and he did not think it prudent after a battle of 12 hours, to expose his men to a fierce cannonading from the Federal gun boats and their supposed river batteries.

A bloody affair which occurred among the Yankees in Norfolk twenty days ago, has at last found its way South through the Northern papers. The Norfolk prints of the day were forbidden to say anything upon the subject. - It seems a party belon ging to the 99th New - York Regiment, quartered within two miles of Norfolk weie in town and accidentally espied a negro against whom one of them held a grudge. The negro was pursued and ran to his master’s quarters for refuge, but be ing hard pressed and in much danger, turned on his pursuers and shot the lead er of the party with a revolver. The party then returned to camp and collecting reinforcements to the number of a hun dred, armed with bayonets; returned to, town and commenced an indis criminate assault upon every negro they met. ‘Over one hundred of the unfortu nate blacks were thus assaulted and cruel ly wounded—five were killed, and scores were dangerously hurt and suffered ex cruciating tortuies. The Mayor of the city afterwards ascertained that from 120 to 150 were thus cut down by these negro loving Northern troops. God help the blacks who get into their hands, for no en emy of theirs need wish them a more mis erable fate. Since these Northern van dals have invaded the South, ihey have in flicted more suffering upon the blacks than the latter would have otherwise en dured for a life-time. Telegraph. The Woman Majot.—Trouble in the Camp. The Pitsburg Landing correspon dent of the Cincinnati “Times” writes: I am sorry to inform you that there is at present some apprehension of a domestic difficulty, originating out of the late com mission of a female to the rank of major in the United States aimy. This worthy lady, whose bravery and Samaritan kindness to our wounded soldiers on the battle-field of Shiloh has won her the love and esteem of au appreciating public, aud who has been promoted to rank by a grateful government, is, I fear, about to fall a vietim to that most dreaded of delusions— jealousy This lady is at present holding her headquarters on board one of the hos pital steamers now lying at Pittsburg Lan ding, anxiously awaiting the expected battle, to again render that comfort and aid known only to exist in the presence of angels and that attention of lovely wo men. But what is most unhappy in the case of this, lady major is that her once adoring and loving husband, who now holds the rank of lieutenant, insists on being made a colonel, and gives as a reason that his wife now commands him, from the virtue of her rank—being a major—-and that this is directly contrary to the original under standing existing between them at the day off their nuptials. From this protest of the Lieut. I fear that all law-abiding wives will hold up their hands and exclaim, “Oh ! the brute.” Mister, how do you sell your beef this morning?” “Twenty-five cents a pound.” ■ot a
