It ’is fixed for the’ hour of sunset,'.out the 20th of’ .September, 1878 —just, thir teen years from to-day. ’ Here are the dates of some preceding even's: (Jfn th 1 9th of October, ISG7 Queen \ iotijria will retire, and the Prince of Wales be made Prince Regent. • In 1860 and ‘7O Austria will seize G reece and some minor German. Stales, and Russia will seize on Turkey. Oil the 27th of October, 1871, Rus sia and Austria will con bine to make war. o:l France: and ou the same day, perhaps, Napoleon will sign ‘a-covenant with the Jews. On the 3d of June, 1872, the Empe ror of llusia wi.l be killed in Palestine, on the field of battle, and. Napoleon will he com ■ supreme monarch, a 1 the kingdoms of the old Homan earth fall ing to him, Britain excepted On the 10th of March, 1875, the Jews will be restored to Jerusalem and the Holy Land. On-the 9th of April, 1875, Anti- Christ -t who is explained as Napoleon 111) will appear and be fully revealed. About the Ist of SeptemLer, 1876, the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the heavens; and at sunset, as we have said, on the 20th of September, 1878, Christ will be seen decending on Mount Olivet'. Captain Baker professes to have dis covered two most important events which are to occur in quick suceesion after the power of Napoleon is consol idated, but before his apperance as, Anti-Christ: Ist. The resurrection of the just, immediately on the expiration of the six thousand years of the world, which, according to bis chronology, will be December 6, 1874. This will be invisible to the living, he thinks, and naively remarks, “I, therefore, do not expect my opinion can ever be proved right, nor can it ever be proved wrong.” 2d. The translat.on of the saints from earth to heaven, which is : to take some little time before dawn on the 25th of January, 1875. This, like the resurection, will be also in -1 visible, “and” therefore,” says the | Captain, we shall’ never now in’ this • life whether • such is precisely the case .or not. ’.

He scorned wbiij-nitou.-i, and at last it beeatne dartgoeous ter go .from., camp stall, as -the least ramble was sure to result in capture by ’3losb.y*.-* At las.t Burnside beeaine wearied out and deterui'ined to. capture the parti* sa.n,.;'md to this end'sent detachments, of cavalry to scour the • country tbor,. ouglily, and bring him in dead or alive. One day, one w these detaehuict.ts-, led.by a l-ieutenant colonej, was going up tiie ‘Dumfries road< when, from a house in sight of the Fede al lines, a maw emerged, dressed, in the . uniform of a Federal.captain, and attended by one-. orderly dressed in our cavalry blue. .At the gate were two horses marked U. S. and-furnished with veg-’ u-lation saddle iind bridle, and mount* ing, the captain rode up and accosted the colonel, who was still marching U p ,riic road.’ The colonel informed his new companion that lie'was in seare.h of this Mosby. and asked if he litxd heard anythig of him.. • Tilt captain had heard and knew to a certjfuty tlmt an hour ‘before.

Back the colonel beat in haste, making enquiries every* where, but. finding no trace. Arrived again at the bouse from which the communicative captain bad appeared, the woman accosted him, and this col loquy ensued: .

Some ol his men did, however, and that story doated about the army during the rest of the war. Many such things as this are told of Mosby, and his power for mischief was so sensibly felt in the \ alley last sum mer and autumn, that Phil. Sheridan used to pwear.at him in his most, hear ty style.. .Mosby -now is a citizen of the United States no better and no worse than the thousands of other Vir. giniaus who have laid down their arms. . * * •♦* ► . * The London correspondatit states that: “Returning to Europe lately, 1 happened to he one • hot morning in the .Rue St Ferreol, Marseilles.
