the bridge, which communicated with Little Edisto. Moving south into the island, he detached Maj. F. G. Palmer, with seven companies, 260 men, to attack the picket at the bridge, cross over to Little Edisto, burn the bridge behind him, and capture the force thus cut off on Little Edisto, which was believed to be at least two companies. Palmer carried the bridge by a charge, and crossing over, left two of his staff, Rev. John D. McCullough, chaplain of the legion, and Mr. Irwin, with Lieutenant Bishop's company of the legion, to burn the bridge, and pushed on after the retreating force. Day had broken, but a heavy fog obscured every object, and the attack on the Federals was made at great disadvantage. Palmer captured a lieutenant and 20 men and noncommissioned officers, the remainder of the force escaping in the fog. Colonel Stevens marched within sound of the long roll beating in the camps in the interior, and taking a few prisoners, returned to the mainland by Watts' cut, and P

Their ads leading eastward from the Territory have been crowded with wagons and persons, male and female, escaping from these fiends. In one instance a mother gave birth to an infant on the road near Poppingsville, in this State, during the flight of the family. On Monday of this week a Mr. Bishop who lives on the Osage river, and about twelve miles north of Fort School, having been aroused by a noise in the night, upon going to the door to see what was the matter, was instantly shot down and killed. His body was found to have been pierced by several bills. We have seen here for the past few days wagons loaded with goods, furniture,&c., passing through, not only from the Territory out from Westport, in this State, and other places within the line.

The clerical suicide. --The suicide of the Rev. R. C. Rice, of Eminence, Ky., at Cincinnati, has been noticed. It appears that he had been twice married, and his second union was not productive of happiness; an estrangement sprung up between him and his wife, which induced, on his part, melancholy, and finally resulted in the rash act by which he terminated his existence. The following note was found on the table in his room at the hotel directed to Mayor Bishop: "Please have my poor body put in a genteel case, and sent, without molestation, to Eminence, Kentucky, where I hope it will be laid beside my dear Eliza. My Christian character is impeached, and, by misfortune, the means of vindication are cut off. I have been a true man, have lived for the good of mankind and glory of God. I never injured a human being intentionally. I have preached faithfully the true Gospel of Christ, and to the Cross of Christ I have ever clung as the ground of my hopes. Take charge of my

The procession, in charge of Miles Greenwood, took up its march passing through thethe ladies, to the Burnet House, which Mr. Lincoln entered amid deafening cheers — Mento's band playing "Hail Columbia" and "Star Spangled Banner."

He said: "I have spoken but once before this in Cincinnati. That was a year previous to the late Presidential election. On that occasion, in a playful manner, but with s

The authority came from Washington, and special squads of Federal police were detailed for the work. The first place known to have been entered was the editorial room of the Exchange newspaper, the door of which was forced, and a file of unaccepted letters carried off. The police consisted of Lieutenant Bishop and five of the Federal police of the western district.--They then proceeded to the residence of Frank Key Howard, Esq., one of the editors and proprietors, and took him into custody. They next went to the editorial room of the South newspaper, on the third floor of the Jarvis Building, at the corner of Baltimore and North streets, the correspondence of which was taken away, together with a file of the paper.

At the close of the exercises, a little girl, Miss Louise Mallory, daughter of the Secretary of the Navy, went forward and delivered a short address, in most inimitable, yet unpretending style, setting forth the claims of the "little folks," who were pushed aside by the older ones in their competition for prizes.--She then presented the Reverend Bishop with a banquet of flowers as a token of esteem and love from the smaller scholars. The Bishop replied appropriately, but briefly, and closed by exhorting the scholars to pray for peace, early and honorable peace. The exercises throughout were highly interesting and entertaining, and the pupils conducted themselves with a quiet decorum which is not generally observed in scenes of distribution. The present session of the school is now closed, and re-opens on the 1st Monday, o
