VVk heard ii story once to the efFect that it
Gabriel on the “final (lay’’ should alight union
the inhabitants of a certain locality out west, he
would be swindled out of his horn before lie could
give it a half-dozen toots. The story was intend
ed to illustrate lire high state of proficiency they
had attained iu the science of stealing. New
York would wrest from that Western locality the
laurel it had won, as will be seen from the cir
cumstance of a respectably dressed individual
calling upon Mrs. Newman—who carries on her
late husband’s business of undertaker, in Court
street—and nearly choked with sobs, and with a
white handkerchief employed iu wiping the tears
from his eyes, informed the lady that his dear
wife was dead, and that he desired the best cof
fin in the Store. She showed him a number, and
at length, when his griefhad somewhat subsided,
he selected one at the price of $25, which he di
rected to he seut to a certain number iu Henry
slreet. He took out a well-filled pocket-book,
and handed Mrs. Newman a $100bill. Not sus
pecting that a man who was laboring under such
a misfortune could be a rogue, she changed the
bill, giving him $75, after which lie departed. It
was soon after discovered that the $100 bill was
counterfeit, and that a coffin was not at present
required at the house designated by the im|>os-
ter.
Brief mention is made of prominent Confed
erate Generals by a traveling correspondent of
the New York Timex. He writes from Mem
phis :
I have met in this city several of the prominent
war men of the late Coufederate armies, aiming
whom I may’ mention especially Lieut. Gens.
Stewart and Forrest Stewart is an elegant man,
ami will ever he found among the faithful. ■ He
nays he cannot go into ecstacies over his defeat—
lie cannot jump up and ling the fellow' who
knocked him down, but he will hold himself in
readiness to help that fellow knock down any
body ehe who comes along. Gen. {Stewart says
there is not a man in the whole South who was
iu the Confederate army who is not in favor of
peace and harmony. All those who want to fight
now would not fight when they had a chance.—
I called on Forest at his store, and saw the great
cavalryman selling a ham to a son of Ham, by
the way, which is no joke—at least the Ameri
can citizen of African descent (no joke on the
syllable “scent,” for he was a decent Afiican)
did’nt think so, for lie was growling, as the cock
neys would say, at the ham-azing high price of
the article. Forest is about 45 years of age, six
feet two inches in hight, and weighs 175 pounds.
He is erect, well proportioned, has no surplus
flesh aud moves with great ease. His father was
tt Kentuckian and the son of an emigrant from
Holland, who accompanied Daniel Boone to the
wilderness of Kentucky some time'ago. I be
lieve Forrest was one ot the most successful Gen
erals of the war, and is called by his friends the
Prince ltupert of tlse rebellion. He has a 9tern
but not unpleasant face. Firmness and courage
are stamped in every lineament of bis features,
which are set off by the most perfect and heauti-
tul ranges of teeth I ever saw. He is perfectly
satisfied with the condition of things, and is in
hearty co-operation with the loyal men of Mem-
PMI —- N.
The New York correspondent of the'Louis
ville Democrat makes the fallowing singular-dis
closure about a certain letter said to have been
written by Mr. John Mitchell, the distinguished
Irishman, in reference to the Fenians. The
character ascribed to the spirit and tone of this
letter, seems hardly to comport with the allega
tion, made some time ago, that Mr. Mitchei was
sent to Paris by the Fenians of the United States
as a sort of secret Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary of the Brotherhood to
his old friend the French Emperor:
“I can tell you something neither the reporters
nor the telegraph are likely to get hold of, and
skat is the receipt of a long letter from Mr. John
Mitchei, under date of Paris, December 12. In
this letter John tells his friends in the United
States some plain truths which it is questiouable
the party to which it is addressed will deem it
prudent to print. Ireland, he says, will never
obtain her independence until her sons them
selves learn to cultivate independence of spirit.
During the recent civil war in America, the great
mass of his countrymen in the Northern States
(Mitchei goes on in substance to say) were the
merest hewers of wood and drawers of water for
the abolition party; they did the dirty work of
the New England Puritans, and in so doing, did
more to demoralize themselves than can well be
undone in a generation. Moreover the)' permit
ted themselves to act upon the false and fatal
theory that a people who were fighting for their
freedom were rebels and traitors—a theory which
must reproachfully confront them in tlieir aspi
rations to free Irelaud from the British yoke.—
Nevertheless, adds John, the past is past, and
though its admonitions cannot be forgotten, it
will be well tor Irishmen everywhere iu future,
to be no man’s meu, but to stand by themselves
and work oat their own salvation* I repeat—
that’s the substance of what John says. Now,
let us see if anybody will be good enough to put
it iu print
An Incident of the War.—The New York
Freeman's Journal gives the following incident
of distress, which was communicated to the edi
tor, the evening before Christmas, by a lady re
nding in Philadelphia:
In the note she mentioned that a lady had just
placed in her hands a braid of beautiful brown
silken hair. Its liistoiy was this. It was cut
from the bead of one of the noblest as well as
most elegant women of the South—in days past.
She was a resident of a Southern city, proverbial,
in past times, for its hospitality. She was not
only elegant among the wealthy, but she was, as-
sidiously, a dispenser of benefits to all the needy
she knew of. Our Lord Las given iter the re
ward He keeps for His special friends. He has
sent her the Cross to bear for Him. Having sac
rificed evetything else she had to keep her chil
dren from the cold and from hunger—she, at
last, cut oil her beautiful hair, and sent it North!
Sent it to the conquerer! Sent it to “shoddy” to
sell for a few dollars, for a woman to wear ! The
lady who parted with her own hair, thus, is look
ing with horror at the cold months that are com
ing on her little ones. Be her hair ever so beau
tiful, it will not keep those little ones long from
the cold, nor from hunger.
The Matamoras Rinchero charges that Bagdad
was captured by the United States colored troops;
tiiat the United States army officers were con
cerned in it; that Gen. Weilzel knew of it, and
in conversation referring to it said that the Mexi
cans would have to prove it on the United States
troops.
KEor* shstt fea$4a«. !
The Matamoras Ranehero contains still later !
information about the late (filibustering opera-!
lions on the Rio Grande. It savs:
We conversed with several passengers who
left Bagdad yesterday morning. They reported
nothing of importance.
Bandit Cortina, with a force of forty tnen, had
arrived at Clarksville. It was understood that
he was going to take supreme command at Bag
dad.
There are two separate commands in Bagdad.
One under CoL Lyon, of the Federal army, and
the other an outlaw. We are told that only by
the two commands keeping a jealous watch on
each ot(ter, was there order in the sacked city.
W ar vessels were in the offing to the number of
three, one having left the day before, Southward
bound.
We have assurances that the (filibusters aud
outlaws continue to quarrel among themselves,
and that most of them arc thoroughly discouraged
The prospect is good for a general breaking up
of tlie unholy alliances and combiuations which
keep this frontier in constant alarm.
WHO PILLAGED BAGDAD ?
This question the Ilnnrhero discusses editorial
ly, and thinks the scheme was set on foot by offi
cers on the Texas side. When it is recollected
that the Ilanchero paper is in the Imperial cause
and bitterly hostile to the U. S. government
some allowance must he made in estimating the
im|*ortance of its views
this opinion :
It may lie due to the truth of history that it
should la: known who did the pillaging and mur
dering at Bagdad. To settle that question we
would inquire where the outlaws and (filibusters
were when it took place? Tlrey were not at
Clarksville, nor Bagdad, and knew nothing of
what was going on. We are well advised that
Crawford, Escobedo, Cortina, and all of them,
were taken as much by surprise as were we of
the Heroic City, when hearing the news. In fact
none of the leading land pirates would believe it
first—not until it was a matter of public notorie
ty. 'flie few second-fiddle thieves that happened
to lie at Clarksville, (as, indeed, where are not
some oftliem all the while!) took a hand in the
affair. It was concocted and perjietrated by of
ficers of the United States army, and the negroes
were used l»y them for the work. The negroes
crossed and re-crossed under orders. There was
uo such tiling as a revolt among them. At all
events, this is our conclusion, after talking with
twenty or thirty eye-witnesses to the whole af
fair—after ascertaining the whereabouts and
movements of the outlaws and (filibusters, at the
time—after ascertaining that the proceeds of pil
lage went into the hands of Federal officers.

Dueling in France.
An American now traveling iu Europe thus
writes hack to this country on the subject of du
eling :
At about uoon on Thursday I left Orleans.—
My visit to this city was one of the most agreea
ble. I had been constantly among the people of
tl»e middle class of society, and am convinced
that the most pleasure is to be found there. I had
not walked an hour before I saw two carriages
stop and seven persons descend and go into a
forest. I saw by their conduct that they were
ubout to fight a duel, and consequently took a,
•position where I could see everything without
being seen. Two seconds measured off a dis
tance of fifty feet, and two others arranged the
pistols. A physician took a package of instru
ments from his pocket, and remained anxiously
waiting for the moment when he might exercise
his professional skill.
One of the combatants, who I judged to be
about thirty years old, was placed before a large
tree, against which he would have fallen if hit.—
The- other, who was not over twenty years of
age, stood in a hollow place at some distance
from any tree, . He had a cigar in his mouth,
which he seemed to enjoy very much. When
his second, tvho was as pale as death,#, handed
him a pistol, he took a knife from his pocket,
went Ur a tree and cut a hole in a branch, into
which he placed his cigar. Taking off one glove,
he placed it on the same branch and aw'aited the
word to fire. One of the seconds said, “One—
two—three ”—and immediatelv the report of the
two pistols echoed in the air. The older one of
the duelists raised his hand hurriedly to his head,
for his adversary’s ball had passed through his
hair. The other returned to the tree, took his
cigar, which was still lighted, and commenced
smoking, as if nothing had happened.
When all was over I hurriedly approached and
asked, in bad French, to be informed concerning
the subject of the combat. My telling them that
I was an American and corresponded with an
American journal, and w'as traveling France to
see the countiy and learn the language, was all
that was necessaiy to gain their good will.—
They took me into their carriage and insisted on
my going to Orleans to dine with them. As I
lead, at present, a vagabond life, and am gov
erned only by my guide book and my desire to
see everything, I of course, accepted their invi
tation, and we were soon on our way to the
city.
The young man spoke to me in English, and
told me about the subject of the quarrel. His
antagonist is a Lieutenant in the artillery.—
Thinking bis position would frighten any one not
accusioraed to fighting, be insulted him and re
fused to give him any satisfaction. “Why do
you insult me ?’* asked he, “Have I acted ungen-
tlemanly ?” “I will insult you whenever I want
to,” replied the other. The young man dealt
him a heavy blow which brought forth a tooth
and a quantity of blood. Cards were exchanged,
arrangements for a dfel were made, and the
Lieutenant, considering himself the injured party,
was permitted to select the arms, aud choose pis
tols. I complimented the young man on his
courage, and his friends told me that he had act
ed like a real American.
I stopped until nightfall with.the party. They
told me that in France dueling was necessaiy,
and that it was completely impossible to avoid it
when called upon. If a person never insults any
one he may sometimes be insulted, and then if
the insult is not punished he can never enjoy
himself in French society. If he receive a chal
lenge and refuses to accept it, some friend will
take it oh his hands and fight in his place, and
as a person of any metal would not let another
fight his battles, be has no alternative but to go
in on his own hook. As far as courage is con
cerned, it requires no great amount to either ac
cept or refuse a challenge.
In a public ball where hundreds of young men
of all classes of society are assembled, they some
times quarrel, but hardly ever proceed to blows.
To slap a person in'the face is considered cruel,
brutal, and completely unjustifiable. Whenever
a difference arises, cards are exchanged, and in a
few days a duel takes place. It very seldom hap
pens that any one is seriously wounded. As soon
as blood is drawn, honor is satisfied. In the army
duels occur every day. When a soldier is insult
ed he is forced by his soldiers to send a challenge,
which the adversary is compelled to accept.—
They meet—four seconds, the two principals, and
the fencing master. The latter takes two sharp-
pointed toils, places them so that their points
touch, tells the principals to take the hilts in
their hands, and then says, “Messieurs, nous pourez
commencer”—“Gentlemen, you can begin.” He
himself stands constantly beside the combatants,
with a foil in his hand, and parries oft’ every blow
that might be dangerous. The two soldiers lunge,
fall back, advance, jump about like two India
rubber men or like two monkeys, until blood is
drawn, and then the honor of the army is saved.
A Remarkable Region.—An expedition
against the Powder River (Oregon) Indians pas
sed through, a very remarkable tract of country,
which is described by Mr. L. G. Bennett, engineer.
Rising from the plain, sometimes to the altitude
ot five hundred feet, were masses of hard clay
in the form of pyramids or ruined temples, crow
ned with spires and miuarets, aud worn by the
winds iuto a variety ot fantastic shapes. Often
these huge masses of clayey rock were standing
in the midst of the plain," isolated and alone. At
other times thev stretched away in long ranges
of bare hills. Veins of trap rock traverse these
hills, while on the plain around them are scatter
ed iron, quartz, scoria:, and various crystalized
and igneous rocks, indicating the action of heat.
On their summits and around their base are found
fragments aud sometimes almost perfect fossils
of marine and other animals, the most common
of which were turtles. Many of these seen by
Mr. Bennett were three feet across, and one that
measured seven ieet across the shelL
Other parties reported seeing one that mea
sured sixteen feet across. These have generally
fallen down from the cliffs, and are more or less
mutilated, but enough remains to show the out
lines and determine"the size of these monsters of
a former age. Md&todon bones and enormous
teeth arc common. Among the petrifactions of
a more recent period was a wolf, nearly entire.
On the ridges separating the Elk, Bear, Minni-
wak, Si and Bear Butte Creeks were found large
masses of fossil fish and other marine animals,
some of a huge size. Often the hills seemed en
tirely composed of these remains. Exposure to
the air and storms have broken them into frag
ments, yet the outlines of turtles, shell fish and
orthesera could be distinctly traced. The region
presents indications both of volcanic action and
ui a deluge.
A Neat Device.—At Acapulco, a Mexican
coast town, the pretty peasant girls have an in
genious device for selling necklaces made of shells,
principally on the days when steamers arrive.—
Handing you a necklace, they will say, “Me give
you present, senor,” and then retire with a low
courtesy. Returning however, in a few moments,
they say, quite sweetly, “You give me present,
senor, of quarter dollar!” which you do at once,
unless you have a heart of stone.
The Fortress Hoars*
ALLEGED PLOT TO RESCUE EX-PRESIDENT DAVIS.
The Fortress Monroe correspondent of the
NewTork Herald sends the following sensational
letter to that paper:
A new and perhaps the most exciting feature
in the Jeff Davis rescue excitement thus far has
just presented itself, and a regular bomb-shell it
lias proved to be—a solid shot, spherical case,
scbrapnel and grape and canister combined. It
is not to be wondered at Its effects have come
home to the bosoms and hearts of many unan
ticipated of, and therefore, wholly unprepared for,
this dropping in among them or such an explo
sive projectile. Casting aside metaphorical mys
ticism and coming down to plain matter of fact,
the whole story sums itself up briefly in this:
Major General Miles, commanding the fort and
district, yesterday received an order from the
Secretary of War, directing the immediate dis
charge of all Government employees formerly in
the rebel service, and to see to it that they speedi
ly render themselves invisible hereabout. Tbe
order went a step further than this. Against all
persons in private business or employ, or found
in any capacity within the precints of the point,
who had done the Confederacy service in the
days of the struggling revolt, this ban of ostra
cism was likewise directed. Of course the first
thing was to find how many came under this or
der. While the heads of the Engineer, Ordnance,
Quartermaster and Commissary Departments
were making out their lists of employees once in
the rebel service, and making their own verbal
explanations to tbe commanding General, stores,
shops, lwarding and lodging-houses were being
searched for quondam bearers of Confederate
muskets and Confederate gray.
the ostracised.
Among all the Departments, about twenty-five
were reported as entitled to tickets of leave, un
der the mandatory telegram from Secretary Stan
ton, referred to above. Most of these came from
the Ordnance Department At the head of this
gang was a clerk in one of tbe workshops; a de
fiant youngster, who had made himself very
conspicuous by devoted persistence in wearing
his rebel uniform. Among the throng was also a
son of the Rev. Dr. Chivis, Post Chaplain here
for a good many years past. He was in the
Tredegar Iron tVorks at Richmond during the
early part of the war, and a member of the Tre
degar Guard. But, for all this, his father says he
never fired a gun against a Union soldier, and is
as firmly loyal to-day as the most loyal man in
the country. Included in this list is, I am told,
one obtaining his situation here by special writ
ten application of Lieutenant General Grant. It
is likely the order may prove severe and unjust
upon some, but it made no exceptions, and had
to he carried oat to the letter. Some are married,
and have families here. It is upon this class
especially the order proves the hardest Most
are young men, and they assume a careless in
difference at being sent away.
mode of exit.
Not particularly comforting or flattering was
the mode of departure meted out to those whilom
shining lights of the Confederacy. A mounted
uard from the fort acted as their escort. They
were inarched together across Mill Creek bridge,
and thence to Hampton, from which place they
are to find their way to remote regions with the
utmost possible dispatch.
THE BY-WAYS AND HEDGES.
The search outside the government department
workshops was not veiy remunerative. A store
—where Arnold, one of the Lincoln assassination
conspirators, was formerly employed—it was
thought would suffer in its clerical force by this
order; but it so happens that the store has re
cently changed proprietors, and its present clerks
are all loyal. Only two were gathered up out
side. One of these was the agent of the Nation
al Express, opening his office here only a few
days since. This gentleman joined in the march
to Hampton ; but subsequently took steamer to
Richmond, where he was doubtless going to re
port to the ex-rebel General Johnston, President
of his company, for instructions in the premises.
A SUPPLEMENTARY ORDER.
An order supplementary to the one above men
tioned bas been issued. This latter order pro
hibits the employment within the Fortress grounds
in future of auy oue serving the rebels in any ca
pacity during the war, and also forbids any such
to land here.
OBJECT OF THE REBEL BANISHMENT.
It is, of course, clear why the orders I have
described have been issued. Foremost, the poli
tic and palpable object is to throw additional
hindrance in tbe way to carry to a successful end
the alleged plot to rescue Jeff Davis from prison.
If such plot exists the easiest way to cany it out is
through the help from within the Fortress, through
the aid of traitors in the camp. To weed oat all
such possible traitors in and about the fort was
the obvious design of the first order, and that ot
the second to prevent any future foothold being
gained here by any of the conspirators. It is
not unlikely that before the thing is through with
there will be more weeding still to be done, and
most thorough searching of records and antece
dents. As the case stands those who would res
cue Davis must bravely face the music, and sub
mit themselves a sacrifice as cheaply as that far-
famed band at the renowned gates of Thebes.
SEARCHING SHIPS STILL IN PROGRESS.
There has been no let up yet in the search of
all vessels coming in port, and watching their
movements after their arrival. It still continues
an unremunerative undertaking, at least as re
gards finding any one upon whom sufficient sus
picion can attach, warranting an arrest.
ORIGIN OF THE RESCUING RUMOR.
This rumor of a plot to rescue Jeff Davis had,
I am told, its origin in Washington. No one
here feels the slightest apprehension of danger
from the probable carrying out of this plot. I
very much fear that if Jeff Davis has to stay in
prison until he is rescued through successful
storming of the Fort by his friends, the limit of
his natural life aloue will be tbe limit of his so
journ here.
Letter from nr. Stephen*.
Milledgevtlle, Ga., Jan., 22,1866.
Messrs. J. F. Johnson, Charles H. Smith and
others:
Gentlemen : Your note of invitation to me to
address the General Assembly on the State of the
country, and assuring me that it is the almost
universal desire of the members that I should do
so,if consistent with my feelings, ete, was received
two days ago. I have considered it maturely ;
and be assured if I saw any good that could be
accomplished by my complying with your re
quest, I wotlld cheerfully yield my personal re
luctance to so general a wish of the members of
the General Assembly, thus manifested. But as
it is; seeing no prospect of effecting any good
by such au address, you and your associates will,
I trust, excuse me in declining. My reasons need
not be stated; they will readily suggest them
selves to your own minds upon reflection. In
reference to the subject of the election of United
States Senators, which is now before you, allow
me to avail myself of this occasion to say to yon,
and through you, to all the members of the Gen
eral Assembly, that I cannot give my consent
to the use of my name in that connection.—
This inhibition of such use of it is explicit and
emphatic. I wish it so understand by alL As
willingly as I would yield my own contrary in
clinations to what I am assured is the general and
unanimous wish of the Legislature in this res
pect, if I saw any prospect of my being able, by
thus yielding to render any essential service to
the people of Georgia; and, as earnestly desirous
as I am for a speedy restoration of civil law, per
fect peace, harmony and prosperity throughout
the whole country, yet, under existing circum
stances, I do not see such prospect of the availa
bility of my services to these ends in any public
position. Moreover, so far as I am personally
concerned, I do not think it proper or politic that
the election should be postponed with any view
to a probable change ot present circumstances, or
a probable change of my position on tbe subject;
and I do trust that no member will give even a
complimentary vole to me in the election.
Yours, truly,
Alex. H. Stephens.
No Cotton in the Country.—Planters from
the interior, both in Mississippi and Tennessee,
inform us that all, or within the very small frac
tion of all, the cotton raised last year has been
gathered, ginned, baled, sent to market and sold.
They also say that the collectors of cotton sta
tistics; and the commercial world at large, would
do well in future to put the amount of cotton still
remaining on the plantations at next to nothing—
the country being almost entirely bare of the ar
ticle, even at this early day. The necessities of
the planting community—provisions, moles and
horses and forming utensils for cultivating the
next crop, etc.—and the prices the “staple” com
mands, have combined to produce this result
All “signs” are, that the price of cotton is
bound to go up still higher. But cotton does not
always obey what appears to be the ordinary law
oi cause and effect. Yet, we think it next to
certain, that, whether it advance or not, it cannot
for years go much lower than it now is. Some
of the shrewdest of our cotton merchants are
of opinion that all calculations for the future,
based on this assumption, cannot be very for out
of the way.—Memphis Argus.
We heard it stated last night, says" the New

ot the Golf Division to be prepared for any
emergency that may arise cm that troubled fron

traffic, so the great Exposition of Paris will lead
to almost as important changes in the giving of
contracts for the production of articles in every
branch of industry Let us illustrate our mean
ing by the experience of Austria. At the Ex
positions of 1851, some of her enterprising and
public-spirited citizens caused specimens of ma
nufactures and of raw material to be sent to Lon
don. Never were a race of men more astonish
ed that the English when they saw Austrian
cloths and Austrian shawls as good as any they
could manufacture, and at prices cheaper than
they could be afforded in their own mills. Other
people saw the same sight, and who can tell the
millions upon millions of profit this one exhibi
tion of her productions has brought to Austria.
Prussia affords a similar example in the vast en
largement of her iron and steel manufacture.
The railway from Cologne to Minden is fairly
illuminated at night by the glow of blast-furnaces
and iron works that have sprang up within fif
teen .years. It is no exaggeration to say that
much of this investment of capital in new in
dustries has grown out of the discovery made in
London and Paris, that the English and French
were not the only iron masters of the world.
There had been a want of confidence in Austria
and Prussia in their ability to cope with the
French and English, which was wholly dissi
pated upon comparison of productions; and a
Prussian house carried off the medal at the ex
hibition of 1862, for iron and steel castings, sent
from works which had no existence in 1851.
The best of English cloths, so marked, now
come from Austria, and the best of Sheffield steel
is manufactured in Westphalia. Trade has open
ed up a new route since the discoveries .of the
resources of a people who had hitherto kept
themselves concealed from the markets of the
world. The time has now arrived for us to enter
into the lists. We have never been accused of
over-much modesty as a people, and can there
fore venture to come forward with everything
we possess. Systematic, intelligent effort must
be employed to call out the characteristic produc
tions of the countiy.
*The records of the Patent Office ought to be
overhauled, and the owners of patents, which
have stood the test of practice, requested to send
working models to Paris.
Everybody who knows of a good thing ought
to see to it that it is sent forward. Let the tools
we use in producing our machines, in working
our iron, in building our ships, in cultivating our
forms, in exploring onr mines, be collected for
exhibition. We know of nothing that would
astonish European workmen more than such an
exhibition as this. The first thing a foreign me
chanic does after an introduction to our diops,
is to throw the whole kit of tools he has brought
with him out of the window as useless incum
brances. '
No one who has ever traveled on the continent
of Europe'but has been struck with the awkward
and uncouth tools of the mechanics. We could
well aspire to become the tool-makers of the
world. Let us send forward our inventions at
any cost.
We cannot refer to all that could be done by a
properly organized committee ot experts clothed
with authority, to act for onr government. We
can only say that enough of emigration and in
vestment or-capital can be made to grow out of
the Exposition in Paris to enable ns to take a
long stride toward the payment of our national
debt.

London.—The following extract from a Lon
don letter intimates the radical changes created
by the march of improvement:
If anybody wishes to see London as it was, he
must come soon. The old historic landmarks,
the quaint streets, the fomous old houses, the
queer courts and lanes, and dens ot iniquity, are
vanishing before the utilitarian strides of city
improvements. The Thames tunnel is no more
to be seen, save as a viaduct for railway trains.
The finest view (poor enough) of St. Paul’s is
utterly cut off by a railway in mid air, impudent
ly crossing Ludgate hill. Holborn valley is to
be filled up or bridged, and “Cock Lane,” and
the “Saracen’s Head," where “Squeers” put up,
must go to the dogs. From Oxford street, a wide
avenue, “straight as the crow flies,” is to be cut
through, due south, to the Thames.
All Americans, who have visited London, re
member Northumberland House, the ancient
palace of a haughty race, standing at Charing
Cross just opposite Morley’s Hotel, over whose
lofty portals is that venerable lion, more than one
hundred and fifty years old, with his tail sticking
up so pugnaciously, but said to wag at one o’clock
every afternoon. The Duke of Northumberland
has been informed, by a vulgar commissioner,
that he must move out of the way, ancient pal
ace, lion, reminiscences and all, for the new
street to the Thames will run over his establish-

An Actress Captures a Broker and $17,-
000.—The latest New York scandal is that of the
elopement of a broker with an actress. The
World says:
For some time back it is alleged that the broker
referred to has been on a footing of intimacy
with a well-known French actress, noted for her
love of money, jewels and fine dress—articles
which were procured, at it is alleged, at the ex
pense of her male Mends. The lady in the case
is exceedingly beautiful in person, with the com
plexion of a peach, and magnificent dark liair
and eyes. In principle she is very mercenary,
and it is said, has amassed a large fortune since
her advent in this countiy from Paris. Several
wealthy gentlemen, well known in business cir
cles in this city, have held, during the last two
years, the same velations to this fascinating
French damsel as the unfortunate broker, now
in the foils of this modern Delilah.
Every afternoon she was in the habit ot mak
ing her appearance, like another anonyma or
Skittles on Broadway, magnigcently attended,
and in a handsome equipage, driven by a spirited
pair of bays, the gift of a venerable and-devoted
admirer .of hers. -Her portrait in a low-necked
dress, with a fon and nosegay of ponderous di
mensions, is on exhibition in all the leading pho-
S hic galleries in Broadway, and site is uni-
y known to the bloods who have money
to throw away, aid the men about town who
prefer to admire without allowing themselves to
be drawn into the dangerous but fascinating
whirlpool. On Friday last this charming young
lady left New York for Havre by the steamer
Europa, with the .intention of spending a few
months in the French capital, with which she is
perfectly acquainted. It is alleged that the un
fortunate broker had made an appointment to
leave in the same steamer with the fair enchant
ress, bat was prevented by business engagements
from keeping the appointment. It is now known
that he sailed by a later steamer, and will join
his inamorata as soon as possible.
True Nobititt.—The following correspond
ence, says the Port Gibson Standard, is the full
expression and utterance of tbe true vocabulary
of the heart—the true, generous, noble heart of
ex-Goveraor Charles Clark. With a physical
frame torn and mangled in defense, of what lie
thought right, his heart remains bright, genial
and glowing with the best emotions of kindness
and generosity:

General : At the reeent election the voters of
Claiborne county contributed the sum of $
for the benefit of Mrs. Jefferson Davis and Mrs.

slight testimonial of the deep sympathy and
gratitude felt for the services and sacrifices you
have made, and the suffering you have endured
for our beloved country.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Governor of Mississippi.

Jackson, Nov. 30,1865.
Governor : I desire, through you, to return
to the citizens of Claiborne county, my thanks
for the money tendered to me. I do not need it
now, and request that the whole amount be sent
to Mrs. Davis. Bat my gratitude is none the
less, and 1 shall ever bear this generous expres
sion of sympathy in grateful memory.
I am, Governor, very truly and respectfully,
yours, &c., Chas. Clark.

A case of great interest to American authors
was decided in the British Coart of Chancery on
the 24th ult, by the Lord Justice of Appeals.—
Mian Marla 8. Cummins, the authoress of “ The
Lamplighter,” wishing to have her last work,
“Haunted Hearts” copyrighted in England, took
up her residence in Canada, while writing the
hnnir and when it was finished had it copyright
ed in London as the work of a resident alien.—
8he afterwards returned te the United States.—
Her right to the property was contested, and the
book was printed by another London publisher
at a lower price that the authorized edition. Her
publishers appealed to the law to protect her, and
the decision was in her favor. The trespassers
appealed, bat the decision was sustained by the
higher court. An appeal may still be made to
the House of Lords, the highest tribunal, but it
does not appear probable.

Amalgamation.—The Louisville Democrat
says:
The steamer Luminary arrived here yesterday
from New Orleans, and from persons who came
up on the boat we learn the following facts of an
incident which occurred on the up trip of that
boat: A man giving his name as Thomas, and
professing to be a lieutenant in a colored regi
ment, came on board at Vicksburg, accompanied
by a negro woman whom he claimed to be his
wife, and demanded a state room for the couple.
The officers of the boat told him he could have
a room for himself, bat that the negress must go
into the nursery. The professed lieutenant ap
peared to be greatly incensed from being separa
ted from bis “fair bride” but finding that the
officers were determined, he submitted. When
the boat left Vicksburg the passengers who had
witnessed the above went to Thomas and asked
to see his commission or discharge, but being un
able to show either he was compelled to go on
deck after his shoulder-straps had been stripped
from his shoulders. On arriving at Memphis,
Lieutenant Thomas and his sable bride were put
ashore. They afterwards attempted to procure
passage on the Tarascon for this city, but were
refused.
The affair created some excitement and dis
gust on the Luminary, as it naturally should, and
it was with some pains that they could be pre
vented from throwing the professed lieutenant
overboard. Thomas claimed to be from Ohio.
A. private letter received in London says that
the Pope makes little secret of his intention to
leaye Rome if tire French troops are really with

received, to provide for him an asylum in Malta.
