Three of the parties waited on the General, which resulted in neither more nor less than a complimentary demonstration, interlarded with delicate phrases, unsuited to ears polite; indicating the superiority of the Northman-vulgarly called Yank — and the inevitable subjugation of the South, with the personal determination of cutting the throats on sight of such representative men as Miles, of South Carolina, and Curry, of Alabama. At the time appointed the unanimous resolve of the party was made known to the commanding officer that not one could be induced to take such an oath. Whereupon the following order was issued: Provost Marshals Office, Huntsville, Ala., Jan. 19, 1864. Sir: You will be required to leave our lines at 9 A M, 20th inst. Your private baggage will be allowed to pass out with you, and if desired transportation to Tennessee river under charge of an escort. Very respe

A locomotive in the Canal. --About 12 o'clock yesterday, the engine "Washington," while proceeding up the steep grade on Eighth street to Broad, became unmanageable after getting a short distance beyond Main street, and came dashing back towards the canal at a speed. The draw to the bridge being up, the locomotive struck against it and broke it in two; but the resistance caused by the collision somewhat impeded its speed, and only fore-wheels of the engine ran off the the water, the rest remaining on the track. At time of the occurrence, Engineer Nunnally Train master Curry and two negroes were on board, but they sprang to the ground as soon as it was found impossible to stop the engine. Messrs.

It seems that the Frenchman ran for life, but could not exactly make it. The letter says: Your correspondent was with the advance guard of a large train, going toward Winchester at the time, and happened to meet this interesting race just at the period above mentioned. Colonel Curry, of the One Hundred and Thirty-third New York, commanding the guard of a train, halted his men at the unwonted, sight of a brigadier-general retreating so rapidly, and disposed them so as to receive and protect the flying fugitives. On they come, pell-mell, quite demoralized, regardless alike of discipline and decorum; and dashing through our line, the ten men and a sergeant who composed the general's escort were quickly in safety behind our infantry bayonets; but, lo! they have l

Notwithstanding the fact that she is small, it is believed that she will be able to do much damage to American shipping if she gets started in her meditated career. It was thought she would go to Nassau before taking on board her guns. At a meeting of the "Loyal Georgians," at Cooper Institute, speeches were deliver by Messrs. Stone, Russell, Dunning and the Rev. Dr. Curry.
