nths before General Robert E. Lee's surrender, business called Mr. G — to Columbus, Georgia, and while there he found a gentleman so embarrassed by debt that he was forced to sell some of his slaves. Mr. G — bought two young negro men, Jerry and Miner by name, paying six thousand five hundred dollars apiece for them. Mr. G — would always look on the bright side, and would never give in to the idea that the South would, or could, be conquered,high-toned, generous old Virginia gentleman that hee kitchen to the diningroom, with a waiter of hot biscuits just from the oven,--for no one thought of finishing breakfast without a relay of hot biscuits toward the middle or end of the meal,--and said, as she handed the biscuits round, Jerry and Miner done gone back to Columbus! I marveled much at Mr. G--‘s philosophical remark, as he paused with cup suspended, Humph; that's the dearest nigger hire I ever paid! Six thousand five hundred dollars apiece for six months, sipping his coffee and

e rifles. Possible! so much! he exclaimed, in an excited manner. Of course what I told him was not true, but I thought that, in the absence of sufficient troops, this false report might save the city. Mr. Gay's pious fraud had the desired effect. The real number was five hundred and thirty. It was the intention of the Government to arm them with muskets from Harper's Ferry, but the armory there was destroyed that very evening. I am indebted to Francis B. Wallace, Esq., editor of the Miner's Journal, Pottsville, Pennsylvania, for the facts concerning this movement of Pennsylvania troops, and also for the muster-roll of the five companies who so patriotically hastened to the defense of the Capital. Mr. Wallace was an officer of the Washington Artillery Company, and was a participant in the exciting-scenes of a three months campaign. It is believed by the best informed, that these troops arrived just in time to awe the conspirators and their friends, and to save the Capitol

nt at this saloon, of their hospitality. It is an interesting fact in this connection, that a Schuylkill County regiment (the Sixth, Col. James Nagle) was the first entertained at Broad and Prime streets, by the citizens in that vicinity. To give some idea of what has been done at the saloon, since its organization, we might state that, up to December last, some five hundred sick and wounded had been cared for — many for weeks, at private houses, by ladies connected with the saloon — while about one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers have each been served with a meal. This is the more creditable, as it was done by the voluntary contributions of the citizens of Philadelphia, the Committee never having asked or received aid from the city, State, or United States governments. All honor to the committee of ladies and gentlemen who have cheerfully volunteered their time and labor in a work so benevolent. Their deeds will be more enduring than monumental granite.--Miner's Journa

proportion wounded. When the enemy broke and fled, the loyal North-Carolinians were fast and fierce in the pursuit of their rebel neighbors. The chase was given up only when the enemy was completely put to flight. The civilians fought splendidly. Mr. Phelps, a carpenter, whose hospitality I have enjoyed, was the first to fire his favorite rifle, taking down the first rebel that fell. In this conflict we lost three men killed--one a Sergeant of company F, of the Zouaves, whose name is Miner; the other a member of the North-Carolina company; and the third, one of Captain Flusser's brave tars, some of whom were engaged. Let officers of higher rank look at the conduct of Sergeant Green, and learn wisdom — the kind of wisdom we now need; and let soldiers learn from the result of the affair what even small numbers will accomplish when they have the right sort of fire in them. The bravery of our little army in Plymouth deserves, and will undoubtedly receive, the highest honor of th
