aboosed my wax worx shamefully. I didn't observe the outrajous transachuns until the next evening, when the people began to kongregate. Suddenly they kommenced fur to holler and larf in a boisterious stile. Sez I good people, what's up? Sez they, them's great wax worx, old man. I immejitly looked up to where my wax worx was, and my blood biles as I think of the site which met my gaze. I hope to be dodrabbertid if them afoursaid raskals hadn't gone and put an old gaved in hat onter George Washington's hed and shuved a short clay pipe inter his muth. His nose they had painted red, and his trowsis legs they had shuved inside his butes. My wax figure of Napoleon Boneypart was likewize maltreated, his sword was danglin tween his legs, his cocked hat was drawn kleen down over his ize, and he was placed in a stooppin posishun zactly as tho he was drunk as a biled owl. General Taylor was standin on his hed and Wingfield Skots coattales was pind over his hed and his trowsis were com

tly, much bustle and confusion; some of the officers being busily engaged in making up the accounts, and others in getting everything ready. We shall certainly leave here on Saturday. Major Anderson is ordered to Newport Barracks, Ky., and Capt. Foster is directed to report himself to the Department in Washington. The Charleston Courier, of Friday last, has the following: Surgeon John L. Fox, United States Navy, a citizen of Massachusetts, arrived on Thursday, with orders from Washington to visit and report on the condition of Fort Sumter. On presenting his credentials to the proper officers commanding intercourse with Fort Sumter, permission to visit was granted, on condition of being accompanied by an officer. Capt. H. J. Hartstein was requested to discharge this duty, and the two visitors were accordingly furnished with transport. Whether this mission of Dr. Fox implies distrust of the reports of Major Anderson and his medical man, or is connected with some

Opposition line for Mr. Vernon. --Our brethren from the North now hunting office in Washington have created great astonishment by the wonderful exercise of their legs. Although Washington is justly styled the "city of magnificent distances," It is too small to call into play the full use of their powers. With carpet bag in hand, they walk to the Capitol, President's House, Georgetown and Mt. Vernon. They have walked all the hacks and omnibuses down in Washington and are now trying their legs against the Mt. Vernon steamer line. They will doubtless give up their last undertaking as it will be seen by the following notice that it involves a loss of shoe leather without any pecuniary gain: "Note.--All persons visiting Mount Vernon by the land route will be required to pay the same amount as entrance fee that is charged those going by water, viz: 25 cents." The publication of this notice in view of the above facts, it will readily be seen, is clearly in self-defence, an

ve so much as a crumb from his imperial table. The Washington correspondent of the New York Express says: "The nominations of Messrs. Adams, Dayton, and Marsh, for England, France and Italy, will meet with general approval from those who regard the non-seceding Southern States as entitled to no consideration from the President in his selection of Ministers abroad. The ancient Commonwealth of Virginia, which gave her electoral vote last year, for the first time since the election of Washington, against the Democratic candidate for the Presidency; Maryland, the State of Howard, Williams, Pinckney and Harper; North Carolina, the State of Gaiton, Iredell, Badger, Graham and the Stanleys; Tennessee, which preferred Clay to Polk in 1844--Scott to Pierce in 1852, and Bell to Breckinridge in 1860--all are ignored by Abraham Lincoln — while Kentucky alone is recognized in the person of Cassius M. Clay, who could not carry a county in the State on the popular vote. Even the third-rate m
