nonparty movement, embracing alike Republicans, Democrats and Americans.
This hasty record of the result of glancing around the aisles of the Senate must be hastily brought to a close, however, for the hour for the reading of the message approaches.
It will not do, however, not to notice Garrett Davis, the greatest talker of the Senate.
He is a brisk little old man, reminding one, so far as face and form are concerned, of John J. Crittenden.
He is a bitter pro-slavery man, having been continuously imbibing fresh prejudices in behalf of the "peculiar institution" for the last sixty years. He is a most inveterate talker.
He speaks on nearly every question brought before the Senate, and that, too, at great length.
In this respect he can hardly be considered an acquisition to the party to which he belongs.

eneral Sherman in Georgia, a rebel courier was captured near Morganzia Louisiana, with a duplicate of an order, signed by. General Cooper, Adjutant-General of the South, ordering Kirby Smith to immediately transfer twenty thousand men to the command of Dick Taylor, at Meridian, Mississippi.
The order was a duplicate, marked "Duplicate No. 3," and is now on file in the War Department.
The information was kept secret, but was transmitted to headquarters in this city for the guidance of General Rosecrans.
It was dated Richmond, November 22. The order was peremptory; but had never been obeyed, and never will be, because the troops under Kirby Smith were merely enlisted for service west of the Mississippi — a fact which transpired in the course of a previous attempt on the part of Jeff. Davis to transfer troops to the relief of Hood pending the siege of Atlanta.

He made no reply, but hastened his pace into a run. One of the men then drew a pistol and fired at him, the ball taking effect in the left leg, just above the knee.
Even this did not stop the Bishop, who succeeded in making good his escape.
The wound, upon examination, proved to be merely one of the flesh, and, although painful, is by no means serious.
No clue has yet been obtained to the perpetrators of the outrage.-- Cincinnati
