Wit worth preserving.--The committee appointed to collect metal for cannon for Gen. Beauregard's army, applied to a planter of Adams County, Miss., for his bell.
Not having such an article, he mentioned it to his wife, when she very patriotically offered her brass kettle.
The little ones rather demurred to the sacrifice, and one of them, with a sweet-tooth, said: La, pa, what will we do for preserves?
My daughter, said the wag of a father, our whole duty now is to preserve our country.
The kettle was sent.--Richmond Examiner.

Beauregard's advice.--Beauregard, on a visit to the Response battalion, after shaking hands with the boys, addressed them as follows:
Boys, be patient.
The spider is patient; it takes him a long time to weave his web, but he never fails to catch his fly. We must imitate the spider; our web is nearly complete.
In a few days you will have work to do. My advice to you is to keep cool; don't be in too great a hurry; take your time when the fight comes, which I think will be in a few daysBeauregard, on a visit to the Response battalion, after shaking hands with the boys, addressed them as follows:

In a few days you will have work to do. My advice to you is to keep cool; don't be in too great a hurry; take your time when the fight comes, which I think will be in a few days; load and shoot slow and aim low. Follow this, and history will have another victory to record for you.
After another warm shake of the hands, and a cordial God bless you, the General left, amid the wildest applause.--Boston Traveller, May 5.
