y morning, "the day after the wedding." Had it been in our power to have accepted the invitation, and had we "occupied the most conspicuous position on board," we should still have been in the land of the living to acknowledge his courtesy, for "the most conspicuous position" appears, by the result of the fight, to have been an eminently safe one. Except an engineer, "slightly wounded" by a splinter, "nobody was hurt" on board the Morgan. A small Library gone to the Yankees. Mobile, July 28, 1864. Colonel C. D. Anderson,Twenty-first Alabama Regiment: Colonel: Having had some experience in the monotony of garrison life at Fort Gaines, I send you, by your Ordnance Sergeant, Mr. J. B. Williams, Jr., one hundred volumes of miscellaneous books, which please present to the regiment. I trust that, while you all patiently await to meet and repel the enemy, the perusal of these books may tend in some degree to relieve that monotony. With much respect, F. Titcomb.

s of the navy! Officers of the navy, in the meanwhile, have commanded many of them and made many trips. The Coquette, for instance, which was the most indifferent of all our ships, and which has now been sold, made nine round trips under the command of Lieutenant Carter, and saved them every one, clearing for the Government at least six hundred thousand dollars. The Robert E. Lee, the best ship we had, was successful in all her numerous trips, as long as she was under the command of Lieutenant Wilkinson. The first trip she made after the command had been transferred to a person who was not an officer of the navy she was beached and captured, or sunk. While the officers of the navy have been successful in all their many trips except one, every ship not commanded by an officer of the navy has been lost. The inference is irresistible. None but officers of the navy ought to command our blockade ships. They are skillful seamen, good navigators, men of standing and character; the

niture, some of it dating back to the reign of Charles II., carried off for "trophies"; his ancient mirrors, which might have thrown back the image of the colleague of Cromwell himself, torn from their places, and frippery New York frame glasses, with gilt frames and pretentious hangings of the genuine Yankee type, sticking in their places; his massive old chairs, of the style of Anne or the first George, supplanted by the latest style of Yankee hair-bottoms; his old oaken tables, at which Washington and Bryan Fairfax may often have sat, sent to Coventry, and a set of flashy vaniers supplying their place; his ancient wainscoting of solid mahogany, painted and glazed; the old brass knobs to the doors, that came over before Sir William Berkeley, substituted by the silver-looking vulgarism that pass for knobs among shoddy aristocrats of New York; his old hall and his old dining-room, fitted up like the cabin of a North river steamboat or the reception room of a first class New York hotel.
Wallace (search for this): article 1
o news whatever has been received respecting Grant for the last four mails is construed as a sign that some serious disaster has befallen his army. The French Government is said to have received dispatches representing the Northern cause as on the eve of a collapse. What is peculiarly amusing, under the circumstances, is to find the Temps and the Opinione Nationale describing the invasion of Maryland as a mere raid of marauders. The proclamation of the Mayor of Baltimore, the account of Wallace's defeat, and others of the most important features of the Confederate successes, are carefully suppressed by these honest "news" papers. Fifteen thousand bales of cotton from the Southern States. The London News says that vessels have just arrived at Liverpool with about fifteen thousand bales of cotton, the proceeds of which are to go towards the sinking fund for redeeming Confederate bonds and paying the dividends of the coming April account, provision having already been made f

character, and in none of them was there elicited any testimony worthy of repeating. The following is a summary: Thomas, slave of Talbott & Brother, was charged with feloniously stealing one gold bracelet, of the value of $100; three gold rings, valued at $50; one silver watch, valued at $200; seven dollars in gold, five dollars in silver, and seven dollars in Confederate notes, the property of Lucy A. Miller. No witnesses appearing, the case was continued. Charles, slave of Walter Turpin, charged with having in his possession two breastpins and one pair of ear-rings, all of the value of $200, supposed to be stolen, was remanded for a future hearing. John Ellis, a free negro, was charged with breaking into the stable of Thomas Russell, on Saturday night, and stealing one saddle, valued at two hundred dollars, the property of Captain William H. Haywood. The testimony was conclusive against the accused, and he was remanded for examination before the Hustings Court.
