The spout was tunnel-shaped, tapering very gradually from the water surface, until reaching about eight hundred feet elevation, then it spread into the shape of an umbrella top, extending hundreds of feet in diameter, and, in contrast with the black clouds beyond, presented one of nature's most beautiful scenes. It remained stationary about ten minutes, and then moved towards Johnson's beach, where a picnic party were in the nick of time to get a ducking, see and feel the spouting.

Johnson will be left to watch and counteract Patterson's movements; a strong column will be sent against Butler from Richmond; and Pryor, the chevalier of the bowie-knife, and Henningsen, the companion of Walker, the filibuster, will dislodge Rosecrans from the position he occupies in Western Virginia. Such, according to the information I have received, is the plan the Rebels have adopted. I know the Administration expressed the opinion, the other day, that Washington cannot be taken. I know
