CLIPPINGS FROM VANITY FAIR.
A Sensitive Pis. — We have read a queer story
13 the country papers about a very fat nig, which
was so startled by a lady sneezing suddenly near
its pen that it broke its fore-legs and went straight
to bacon. This happened—or is said to hare hap
pened—somewhere tn Connecticut; and the moral
to be drawn from it is this, that however obnox
ious that state has been to the rest of the world, on
account of bass-wood hams, its real article of gam
mon is by no means to be sneezed at
• From Boetcm.— The Boston Transcript tells us
that “The north end Sculpin association" held
their annual festivities one evening last week, and
adds that “if Gen. McClellan had a regiment com
posed of the gallant Sculpins, he might make an
immediate forward movement” At first we were
pußled about the “Sculpin association," as we
generally are about everyting proper to Boston
except chowder and brown bread ; but the mill*
tary allusion to the organization convinces us
taat the Transcript let slip a typographical error
ia the daragrapt, and that "iScalpm association”
is the proper reading in the case.
Ouy Endings.— How unctuaily these usurping
potentates turn out, always, in their played out
dars! The great Napoleon, at his death, reigned
over a miserable Isle, and Maximillian, his
nephew’s protege, is to be King of poor Greasers
The Italian wags ridicule Cardinal
Antonelli for the great importance he seem to
attach to the excommunicating edicts of the reign
ing pontiff. The Cardinal is hot perhaps aware
that the most powerful anathema ever issued by
A Pope was the Dunciad.
At>oui a H'iy.—An “artists in hair,” of this city,
announces an article which he calls the "fluid
wig."
Two correspondents inquire of us whe her the
“flu id wig’s" is made of canal locks.
Another correspondent—a lady—supposes that
the “fluid wig" must be made of wavy hair.
Seven other corespondents —muffs—wished to
be informed whether the head wouid not be likely
to snim in a fluid wig.”
“A bald man” writes, -aying tha’t the idea of
the “ fluid wig” is nothing new, and refers us to
the old expression, “ dash my wig” in support of
bis assertion.
Lastly one who signs himself, “Balderdash”
thinks that “ fluid wig” might produce water on
the brain.
A hint for the Hapehursgs— The millions of

TRADE WITH NASHVILLE.
From one of our New Orleans exchanges we
clip the following:
"The St. Louis Democrat of March 21 says :
The river is still rising. The upper rivers were
stiil rising when the last boats left. Captain
Coonrod was down yesterday afternoon at the
Elvira, having her started to Nashville with a
ton of ice. an article very scarce in that part
of Tennessee.
“ The tide of business is setting in briskly
towards Nashville, judging from the fact that
other boats are loading for that port besides
the Skylark. The Ella, a good and staunch
little boat, is also receiving freight for Nash
ville, and may leave this evening, and the John
Bell was also loading yesterday for that port.”
More is to be dreaded to the Southern cause
from this increasing trade with the enemy than
from the presence of hostile armies in Nash
ville. The seductive influence of gold often
accomplishes the conquest of a people when
bayonets and bullets have failed. The strong
hold of Lincolndom, in Missouri, is St. Louis,
where the commercial classes, and the small
traders, in too many cases have allowed pelt
to overshadow patriotism. They will And
increased inducements to adhere to the 1 an
kee cause, as trade is extended further south
under the protection of Lincoln's armies.—
And the same influences are to be feared
upon the, as yet, loyal population of Nash
ville. The longer the enemy are allowed
foothold on Southern soil the more diffi
cult it will be to dislodge them. They will
• drive away,, by perseautijpns and threats, the
citizens who‘are truS South 1 , bverawetLe
timid, bribe the mercenary, and plant colonies
of Yankee harpies in place of those who are
driven from their homes by reason of their
Southern sympathies. The time is at hand, we
Lope, when the policy of our campaigns will
be changed, and our armies put in motion for
aggressive warfare. If our naval department
has been energetic and provident on the Missis
sippi, Commander Hollins ought, by this time,
to be in possession of a fleet sufficient to act
on the offensive. This, in co-operation with
ur armies on both sides of the great river,
« aught to be able to dispute the mastery of the
lower valley of the Mississippi with the in
vaders. The Government should not remain
forever content to act on the detensive. When
the guns of Island No. 10 have flnaliy baffled
the assailing gunboats of the enemy, and the
armies of Price and Van Dorn on the right,
and of Sydney Johnston and Beauregard on
the left bank of the river have foiled the ad
vancing columns of Halleck and Buell, all of
which we count upon as certain results, tne
time will have arrived for our forces to advance
up the valley, taking St. Louis aad Cairo, and
intercepting communication with Nashville.
The South will not be content with any result
short of retrieving the losses of the past, and
planting the Southern flag on every foot of soil
where there is a population whose hearts are
yearning to welcome it. It is only by aggres
sive movements the South can conquer a peace
Woman’s Prayer.—A Virgina officer, in a
private letter to the Central Presbyterian, relates
the following incident, which, though not of re
cent occurrence, possesses interest:
As we were on our way to Manassas, on the
19th of last July, on a crowded train of flats, the
people along the route of the Manassas railroad
turned out in large bodies, bringing baskets full
. of provisions and luxuries for the soldiers.
Everybody was of joy, and we rushed on to
the battle with railroad speed, amid the waving
of handkerchief and loua huzzas of a loyal peo
ple, little thinking that many of the hearts that
beat high for praise would (aye but two days
afterwards) “feel that pulse no more.” Not far
from one of the depots, which we had just left in
great glee, on an eminence near by the road,
there stood a lady, of more than womanly sta
ture, but of womanly face, with bands uplifted,
and eyes upturned to Heaven in reverential pray
er for us and for our country. And there she
stood with outstretched arms until the train car
ried us out of sight. I thought of Miriam the
prophetess—only the one was lifted up in praise,
tne other in prayer to God. I never shall forget
that scene, and the deep impression it made
upon all. The shout of reckless joy was turned
into serious thought, and blessed, I believe, was

LATER FROM THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
Mobile, April 5.-—A special dispatch to the
New Orleans Picayune, of the 4th inst., states
that a very severe storm occurred at Fort Pil

AFFAIRS IN VIRGINIA.
The Richmond Examiner has the following in
teresting review of the present condition of the
campaign in Virginia:
Flags of truce are suspended at Norfolk, and
all the channels of intelligence broken up with
the enemy. We can only know his movements
by random observation and conjecture. No room
seems left for doubling the fact, however, that he
is concentrating large forces on the Peninsula and
at Fortress Monroe, that he is also landing a
greater or less army on the Potomac beyond Fred
ericksburg, and that he is preparing a broad ba
sis ot operations in the Carolina waters, for a
probable march inland in the direction of Peters
burg and Richmond.
The impracticable plan of McDowell and the
New York dribune, of marching directly from
Washington, byway of Manassas, to Richmond
seems to have been abandoned, and the shorter
approaches, byway of Fredericksburg, by the
Peninsula of Yorktown, and by the soutside
ridge dividing the James from the Chowan,
seems to hare been preferred.
It was doubtless the enemy’s intention at first
to combine with a march upon Richmond under
Wool on one side of the James, and under Burn
side on the other, an ascent also of the river wfth
gunboats and armed vessels. The performances
of the Merrimac seem to have disturbed that plan
for some time; but it is still probable taat, with
the aid of the Monitor, it may be attempted.
1 The plan of the enemy to strike at Richmond
by a combined movement through Fredericksburg
and up the Peninsula is certainly a sensible one.
It is, in fact, the only practicable mode of aps
proaching and reducing tliis place. It involves the
shortest possible overland march from the
enemy’s base of operations, and diminishes to the
minimum the impediments incident to invasion.
It is, however, a plan of attack presenting many
advantages to the resistant force. The army by
which we shall oppose his approach from Fred*
eneksburg, will be m supporting distance and
position with the army of the Peninsula; and, in
the event of their being driven back, thev can
combine for final resistance before Richmond.
There can be little doubt that we are on the
threshhold of exciting events, on the issue of
wbi.eh hangs the fate of Richmond. We are hap
py to believe that the most energetic measures
nave been taken to meet the emergency, which,
though late, may yet be in time. At all events,
the despondency which was so universal a short
time ago is shaken off by a large class, and it is
onlv the more timid of the populace who are stil
shaking in their shoes.
ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS-
The announcement that Congress would -ad
journ on the first Monday in April, seems to have
been premature. The Richmond papers say it
will not adjourn for several weeks, and Vice Presi
dent Stephens, who has been in our city during
the last few days, is of the same opinion. The
appropriation bills have not yet been matured;
and the details of the legislation upon the subject
of the conscription must necessarily occupy a
considerable portion of time. In addition to these,
events may arise at any time requiring the pres
ence of Congress at the seat of Government.

PHILLIPS’ LEGION.
Colonel Wm. Phillips, of Phillips' Legion, has
authority to add six more companies to his Le
gion—two of cavalry and four of infantry. Vol
unteers for this purpose will be accepted, if it is
done early. Those who wish to go as volunteers
had better embrace this opportunity, for the
chance will soon close, if the conscription bill
becomes a law. This organization has seen sev
eral months service, is well officered and well
drilled, which render it preferable to a new regie
menu Colonel Phillips can be corresponded
with at Marietta for a short time.

COTTON SEED.
A correspondent recommends the planting of
about a third of a crop of cotton in order to have
plenty of eotton seed for stock, if there should be
a short crop of corn and forage. However good
boiied cotton seed may be for stock, we respect
fully suggest that with proper care a super abund
ance of forage may be made by planting at short
intervals a few acres of corn in drills, cutting it
just as it begins to tassle. Two or three crops
can be made during the season, and it is more
convenient to feed than cotton seed, and is more
nutritious than any other forage, except well
cured hay. There is no need of planting eotton
for the purpoes of getting seed for stock, and
those who h&ve old seed need not raise it for the
purpose of having new seed to plant. Old seed
kept in a dry place, will grow the second or third
year just as well as the first.
WHAT RAW RECRUITS CAN DO.
The Wilmington Herald gives the following
“ positive facts ” in reference to the dashing
exploits of the Virginia in Hampton Roads.
They illustrate the fact, that on the sea, as well
as on the land, the most successful and credit
able exploits are often accomplished by novices
in arms:
“ The most striking characteristic of the per
formance of the Merrimac was that it was a trial
of everything aboard. The ship was for the first
time moved by steam, four of the guns had never
before been tired ; many of the crew had never
seen a gun fired—they were strangers to each
other and to their officers—had been but little
drilled, but once at general quarters ; and it was
the first time that the great majority had been
under fire. Surely under these circumstances her
enterprise was a most daring one, and her officers
nad difficulties of the gravest character to over
come, and a knowledge of these facts raises still
higher our admiration of the successful daring
that produced such marked results. The Merri
mac proved herself to be indeed a besom of de
struction. She fired but 309 times on both days.
She destroyed two frigates, two steamers, and
took or destroyed three schooners, and more than
half do*troyed the Minnesota, and seriously
damaged another frigate, the St. Lawrence. She
fired dot shot, nine inch balls. High naval au
thority doubts of hot shot having been before
used aboard ship, or at any rate of such ones as
nine inch.”

REVIEW OF THE STATE TROOPS
The State troops on duty near Savannah
were reviewed by Gov. Brown on- Saturday.
The Yews says:
“It was one of the most gratifying and impres
sive military spectacles we have ever beheld in
Georgia—imposing by its numbers, and gratifying
to every Georgian because it was a demonstration
of the military power of our glorious old State.—
None could behold the compact columns of these
well drilled, well disciplined and well armed regi»
ments and not feel that Georgia has nothing »o
fear from the enemy while she can furnish her
full quota of troops to the Confederacy and at the
same time keep such an army m the field for the
protection of her own soil. ,
After the review, in which the Governor was
accompanied by Adjutant and Inspector General
Wayne and staff, and Major General Jackson and
staff, the regiments were formed in solid mass in
front of the Pulaski House and in Johnson
Square, where they werejjaddressed by his Ex
cellency, the Governor, from the balcony of the
hotel.
In the course of his remarks he announced
that the State troops would be re-organized at
the end of their term of enlistment, for two
years and six months, unless sooner discharged.
He urged the troops now in the service of the
State to re-enlist, and proposed to allow one
week to each company, battalion, or regiment to
decide the question of re-enlistment before other
troops will be accepted.
Each volunteer, who desires it, will receive a
furlough of twenty to thirty days, with trans
portation, so far as he travels by railroad, going
to and returning from his home. The furloughs
to be so arranged that no more than one regi
ment will be absent at the same time, without
the special permission of the Commander-in-
Chief.
Any of our friends having supplies of Palma-
Christi, or Bene Seed, or other valuable and
useful seeds, beyond their immediate demand,
will oblige us, and do service to others, by
sending packages to this office.

DIFFICULTY IN IRON MAKING.
Hon Mark A. Cooper has addressed a letter
to the Atlanta Intelligencer, in which ha says
that the want of stone coal has limited the
operations of the Etowah Works, and caused
delay in the completion of gunboats in all our
ports, and of gun carriages in course of con
struction in Georgia and Carolina. He says
that'this suara Jo/ stone cdal has been caused
since Christmas, mainly, by the lack of good
business habits and proper reflection on the
part of those who have assumed the control of
the transportation department of the Nashville
and Chattanooga railroad.
On account of the delay occasioned by
a want of Coal, many operatives who have pa
tiently waited for work, not being able to get it,
whilst the mill stood still for the want of coal,
from the necessity of the case, as a means of
getting a living, have volunteered and joined
*he army. Hence, now that coal is coming in
supply, by requisition of the Navy and War
Departments, the works, are actually standing
half the time, for the lack of operatives, and the
Government supplies are failures.
Maj. Cooper says he has made these facts
known to the Government, and asked for oper
atives, but none have been sent. He expresses
the hope, that they who have the power will
remedy the evil.
Beauregard’s Call for Bells.—The New On,

from General Beauregard to the pastor of St

Dear Father : Your favor of March 14th has just
been received.
The call which I made on the planters of the
Mississippi Valley, to contribute the bells from
their plantations to b§ cast into cannon, is being
so promptly met that I am in hopes of being
spared the necessity of depriving our churches of
any of their sacred appendages.
Our wives and children have been accustomed
to the call, and would miss the tones of the
“church going bell.” But if there is no.'alterna
tive we must make the sacrifice: and should I
need it, I will avail myself of your offer to cons
tnoute the bell of St. Patrick's Church, that it
may rebuke, with a tongue ot fire, the vandals
who, in this war, have polluted God’s altar. Let
me thank you for the expression of kindness and
regard towards myself, with which vour letter
abounds. I can only hope that the day ia not far
distant when peace will once more bless our
country, and I shall visit again a quiet home.
I remain, very truly, yours,

Obstructions in the Mississippi.—A correspond
ent of a Federal paper says: F
I have conversed with some prisoners recently
taken in reference to the obstructions placed
across the Mississippi by the rebels to prevent
the passage of the Union men of war. From them
I learn that there is an immense raft of logs* con
tainiDg eighty thousand feet, stretched across the
river at a place called “The Jump.” The raft is
secured to the banks of the river on either side by
heavy chains which are dropped when any of the
Confederate steamers pass. This formidable ob
structions is commanded by a strong battery.
An exchange urges the enlistment of a certain
number' of the able-ffiodied and trusty slaves with
every company—say ten per cent, to do the drud
gery of the camp, cook and take charge of proper
ty in time of battle; the owner to receive the
usual pay of a private as the wages of the negro,
provided he will do it. The idea seems a good
one, for the service of the negro contingent would
save many a brave but delicate soldier from the
hospital.— Savannah. Republican..
