Let's have him in, said the committee. In came Jones. Can you build this bridge, sir Yes, replied Jones; I could build a bridge to the infernal regions, if necessary. The sober committee were horrified; but when Jones retired, Brown thought it but fair to defend his frieBrown thought it but fair to defend his friend. I know Jones so well, said he, and he is so honest a man, and so good an architect, that, if he states soberly and positively that he can build a bridge to Hades-why, I believe it. But I have my doubts about the abutment on the infernal side. So, Lincoln added, when politicians said they could harmonize the Northern and Sout

The burning of the Confederate steamer Natchez. --A correspondent of the Yazoo (Miss.) City Banner furnishes that paper with the following particulars of the recent burning of the C. S. steamer Natchez: The Natchez, one of the finest steamers in the Confederacy, was ordered by Commander I. N. Brown to be fitted up with cotton for the defence of the Yazoo river and to meet the enemy at Greenwood. After having received a thousand bales of cotton at Yazoo City, and a full supply of wood, she left the wharf on Friday evening. She took on about three hundred bales above and proceeded on her way tot he point of conflict, all in high spirits, and hoping a great deal from her eminent power.
