Charles J. Beck (search for this): article 7
"God Bless their little Hearts!" And if types could only talk we would make them say something stronger still. As it is, we can only thus return our plain acknowledgments to a number of ladies of Columbia, S. C --and they must be both good and pretty — for the present of a handsome Palmetto wreath, received yesterday from the hands of Mr. Charles J. Beck, one of the South Carolina Volunteers. It is sent us, in the language of the perfumed note which accompanies it, "as a token of their high appreciation of the course pursued by you in advocating the cause of Southern rights and Southern independence." We intend to have the memento framed and hung in our sanctum sanctorum, and shall never look upon it without the hope that, as its material is the emblem of the patriotic little State who marched in the van of the Southern Confederacy, its shape may ever continue the symbol of the worth, loveliness and patriotism which adorns its fair daughters.

Beggarly account of Empty Boxes. --We have before us the New York Express of Friday last, containing the customary report of arrivals at the different hotels in the city the previous day. These daily registers, showing the influx of visitors in this once great commercial emporium, afford a very correct basis upon which to estimate its prosperity. At this season of the year it has heretofore been crowded with Southerners, one of whom, to a Northern hotel, is worth a dozen Yankees, for he will spend a dozen dollars to the latter's one. Well, in the list before us, we count up some fifty arrivals at the St. Nicholas on Thursday--not a single Southerner amongst them. At the Astor House, forty-two, and but one Southerner. At the Fifth Avenue Hotel, thirty-six, no Southerner. At French's, forty four, no Southerner. At Powers', fifty, not a Southerner. In the whole list we see only two Southerners, a most remarkable contrast to the registers for the corresponding day last year.
Belcher (search for this): article 1
$10 reward. --Ranaway from my farm, about 5 miles below Richmond, on the 3d inst., my man Aaron. He is between 5½ and 6 feet high, of a dark complexion, has a full face, generally wears whiskers, and, when spoken to, speaks rather slowly. I bought him from Capt Belcher, near Fairfield Race Course, who owns his wife, and about whose premises he may be lurking, or he may have hired himself out as a free man on some of the public works near the city, or attempted to escape with some of the volunteer companies leaving the city. I will pay the above reward for his delivery to me in Richmond or in some jail so that I may get him. Jas. M. Taylor, je 5--tf Of the firm of Jas. M. Taylor & Son.
Belisarius (search for this): article 3
into utter darkness and oblivion. Now, after the lapse of many centuries, when Progress has again entered on one of its great onward cycles, this art, through new and varied struggles, carried on with weapons and implements unknown to the ancients, has once more been developed, to an extent far exceeding its pristine excellence. With the rise of this art, infantry, the popular branch of all armies, ascends in the scale of importance, as it did in the days of Cyrus, Alexander, CÆsar, and Belisarius. Whereas, in the middle or dark ages, when military art was lowest, and skill in single combat highest, cavalry became the principal arm; and if infantry appeared in the open field, they were ridden down by the men-at-arms, or driven before them as sheep fly before wolves. Infantry, armed with rifle or musket and bayonet, is fit for all kinds of service; ordinarily, of two battalions which are fighting, the one which continues to advance in spite of the losses which it may sustain, ca
Byron W. Bernard (search for this): article 18
Laid up for a season. --A man named Byron W. Bernard, was brought before the Mayor yesterday, and, ordered to jail for six months. B. was arrested here several weeks since as a suspicious character, and a person of evil name and fame, to which designations the testimony heretofore given shewed him to possess a clear and undisputed title. He appears to be as foxy as any old reynard that roams the forest.
Charles L. Bernays (search for this): article 17

Nelson, of Indiana, to be Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to Chill. Allen A. Burton, of Kentucky, to be Minister Resident of the United States to Bogota.

Lord, of Michigan, to be Consul of the United States at Manchester, Joseph & Nunes, of California, to be Commercial Agent of the United States at La Fas, Lower California.
Beverley (search for this): article 18
ves us the following particulars of that affair. Our forces were posted in the town of Philippi, and numbered in all about 700 effective fighting men. The commanding officer, Col. Porterfield, having been informed on Sunday, by a courageous lady, who rode from Fairmont, in Marion county, through the lines of the enemy at Gralton, and thence to Philippi, a distance of 26 miles, that it was the purpose of the enemy to attack us, and knowing his superior force, determined upon retiring to Beverley, which is distant 30 miles. Not having at hand the proper mode of conveyance, horses and wagons were impressed, with the view of leaving at midnight. It is stated that an order was issued for the pickets, outposts and scouts to be in at 11 o'clock on Sunday night, and this order was obeyed. The baggage of the respective companies was placed upon the wagons, but for some reason best known to the commanding officer, the horses were not attached, and they were left standing in the street
Jonathan Biggs (search for this): article 20
Jno. Biggs was carried before the Mayor yesterday for getting drunk, behaving disorderly, and falling about the streets. This complication of disorders procured him a reprimand, after which he was discharged.--Murray Driscoll. who was also taken up for getting inebriated and lying in the street, was let off after a night's detention in the cage.

Colonel Fremont. --A Paris letter says: Col. John C. Fremont, who has been for the past few days in Paris, leaves here to- night for London, and on Saturday next will take his departure for the United States, for the purpose of offering his services to his country. Col. Fremont, as is known, came to Europe about two months since with the object of organizing a joint stock association for the working of his Mariposa mines, and with the intention of raising a larges sum of money to pay off indebtedness. He will leave his business, which is progressing favorably, in the hands of two of his associates, Mr. Frederick Billings and A. A. Salvover, Esq., the former remaining in London and the latter in Paris. Col. Fremont is now engaged in negotiating for 20,000 stand of arms, principally Enfield rifles, which, if human agency will effect it, he will take with him on board the steamer, and within a week after his arrival will be ready to take the field.
Bissell (search for this): article 5
Navy-Yard for immediate service are the Baltimore, Philadelphia, Anacostia, and Freeborn. They are well supplied with ammunition and stores, and are waiting orders. The secession prisoners, about forty in number, are still on board the Powhatan, and are exceedingly well treated. Several of the regiments here have for some nights past been ordered to hold themselves in readiness for duty at a moment's warning. There is much anxiety here on their part for forward movements. Commander Bissell, in his letter to the Secretary of the Navy, on board the ship Cyane, at Acapulco, May 18th, after referring to the treason which has been so rife in the Navy, says: "I deem it but just to those I have the honor to command, to remark that they are loyal and true to their oath and duty, and deeply sympathize with the Government. As evidence of the deep seated love of our common country in the hearts of all Americans abroad, it may interest you to know that among the thousands now
