Stampede among Northern printers. --We learn from the Nashville Gazette, that a number of the Northern printers engaged at the Southern Methodist Publishing House, in that city, have thrown up their situations, and have gone to the other side of Mason and Dixon's line. The Nashville Gazette says: The proclamation of President Davis has shown them up in their true light. Since its publication they have been seen in groups upon the street corners, evidently consulting in regard to sudden movements. They have been holding good situations for several years past, contributing no doubt a portion of their wages to assist in subjugating the people who have fed them; acting too, probably, as spies in cur midst, communicating such intelligence as has recently been seen in the Northern papers under the head of "Nashville Correspondence.

Likenesses of distinguished men. --Messrs. West & Johnston, booksellers, Main street, have received a lot of beautiful photographic likenesses of President Davis and Lady, and Generals Beauregard, Johnston, Lee, Magruder and Huger. The pictures bear the imprint of a New York firm, showing that the Yankees are determined to make money out of our Generals in private, if they cannot beat them in public. They have succeeded in making admirable fac similes of the distinguished parties referred to.
A splendid Legion from North Carolina. The people of the Old North State are moving to raise a monster Legion for the war, in addition to the 30,000 choice North Carolina troops already in the field. The Legion is to number 5,000 men, in the following proportion: 30 companies of infantry; 10 companies of riflemen; 10 companies of cavalry, and 2 companies of artillery — the companies to consist of not less than 75 men, rank and file. No company will be received for a less time than the war. The field officers, commissioned and non-commissioned staff will be appointed by President Davis; also the captains of artillery. They will be men of the highest standing in the military line.
