or his readers; for every morning he "Rends with tremendous sound their ears asunder, with gun, drum trumpet, blunderbus, and thunder." A parrot, which talked very plainly, was a great favorite with the sailors on board of one of the English ships that fought at Trafalgar. The day after the battle "Poor Pell" was among the missing, and there was great lamentation among the crew. They thought he had been knocked overboard in the action and drowned. It was not so, however. On the third day after the battle he was seen peeping cautiously above the deck, having crawled out of the hiding place in which he had ensconced himself while the battle was going on. He was hailed with shouts of joy by his old friends, but to their sorrow they soon found that he had entirely lost his speech. To the usual salutation "Pretty Polly" he would only answer "Bom." In a word, Poor Polly was deranged. Tralaigar had not only killed Nelson and destroyed Napoleon's navy, but it had bereft Polly

rder to reach than Richmond — and then comes, perhaps, another draft for the army, without commutation and without escape, except through a substitute at his own price. The following instance of quick promotion gives an idea of the great exhilaration of the Yankees over the fate of the Alabama: The Secretary of the Navy has recommended to the President that Capt. Winslow, of the Kearsage, he promoted to the grade of Commodore. Secretary Seward was struck by a rocket on the 4th instant, just above the eye. The escape was narrow, but Satan loved his own. Mr. Fessenden took the oath of office as Secretary of the Treasury on the 5th. The Herald says: The bill of Mr. Winter Davis for the restoration of the rebellions States has failed to receive the President's endorsement, probably because it required a majority vote of the people of any rebellious State to bring it back into the Union as a free State, while old Abe's plan fixes the business with one-tenth

rinciple. It is believed that their present object is to obtain a foothold on James's Island, and to attempt the capture of some of our outer line of batteries. We have no doubt that the programme of Gen. Foster has been carefully planned, and includes the capture of the city, but as surely believe he is destined to the same disappointment as his predecessors. The enemy continue to shell the city. Twenty-six shots have been fired since our last report. Only six were thrown on the 4th inst. The Yankees omitted the national salute from their vessels and batteries Monday. Another body of Yankees landed on John's Island Tuesday, but it is believed to be only a small force for the purpose of covering some movements elsewhere. No change of importance in the fleet has been noticed. The Mercury gives some additional particulars of the assault of Sunday morning on Fort Johnson, which will prove interesting to our readers: On Saturday the Yankees had attacked our w

With the experience, however, that he has had in this tinkering system of reconstruction, we do not suppose that many more such experi

at Hagerstown was occupied, and that the rebel cavalry were advancing on Greencastle, is represented as most intense. Gov. Curtin had started for Gettysburg on the 7th, but was telegraphed to return when about fifteen miles from Carlisle, as the road was not safe. Whoever the Confederate General in command may be, it would seem fwithin their power. The papers are filled with a confused mass of excited telegrams, which throw very little light on the movements of the Confederates. On the 7th they left Hagerstown, a portion moving on the road to Frederick, and another portion on the Baltimore peace. On the same day they appeared before Frederick, and tht Frederick that evening, and that Gen. Wallace had repulsed every effort of the Confederates to take the town. A telegram from Sunday Book, dated the night of the 7th, says the bridge over the Shenandoah was in flames. Hunter is moving from Western Virginia, Couch is organizing the Pennsylvania militia, and Wallace is defend

We have received Philadelphia papers of Friday last, the 8th instant, and the Washington Chronicle of the same date. We give a summary of the news they contain: The Confederate "raid" into Maryland--great alarm at the North--a Levy on Hagerstown — the raid "very formidable," &c. The papers are filled with accounts of the Confederate advance into Maryland. The raid seems to be turning out an "invasion," The Washington Chronicle in a two column editorial estimates the Confederate force at 30,000, and expresses the opinion that it is very formidable. The Philadelphia Inquirer thinks that up to this time the raid has all the symptoms which usually precede a great invasion, and it is the part of wisdom to be prepared for it. The Washington telegrams to the Northern press, say the invading force consists of Longstreet's and Ewell's corps, and put the strength of the two at 30,000 (!)--the object of the movement is announced to be the capture of Baltimore and Washington.

The situation in Georgia. Through the courtesy of Mr. W. C. Farnes, of the Express Company, we have receive Atlanta papers as late as the 8th inst. The following is a brief statement of the position of the two armies now in the vicinity of that place: Since the armies on our front left our chain of defences at Kennesaw Mountain, there has been little fighting and really less skirmishing than usual. The enemy cautiously approach and carefully occupy their positions for batteries and lines from which to operate, with as much safety as possible to themselves. On Wednesday, they occupied the hills on this side of Vining, and as near the river as they seem to desire for the present. From their batteries, which are situated on very high and commanding positions, they shoot smells promiscuously ever the bluff along the river, though their effect has been trifling thus far. Sherman still passes to our left, and threaten by flask to displace us again. It is idle to speculate on

e Mayor required the accused to give security in $500 for his appearance to answer an indictment by the Grand Jury of the Hustings Court. George Drew, the man reported a day or two since to have stolen a horse and gone over to the Yankees in company with Granville Montelle, was arrested by officer Granger yesterday morning and brought before the Mayor, charged with stealing four cows belonging to Dr. Francis H. Deane. Owing to the absence of witnesses, the case was postponed till the 13th inst. [Drew is the person who sold the cows to John P. Sledd, who was remanded on Friday last for examination before the Hustings Court on the charge of buying four cows which he knew to have been stolen. Mr. Sledd fully identifies him as the man who sold him the cows. Andrew slave of Elizabeth Carver, charged with stealing a horse valued at $8,000 from Henry Debell, was remained for examination before the Hustings Court Mr. Debell testified that Andrew had been in the habit of hitting hi
