The full sunshine came pouring through the plate glnss window of the great photo graphic, saloon, where Virginia Lynne had become very tired waiting 'just one minute,' for her turn to faer the camera. If the cam era had been a young gentlemnn it wouldn't have objected much to the process as Vir ginia was not nt all disagreeable to look at on the contrary, she was very pretty, with a clear olive complexion, deepening to car mine on her round cheeks, and large blue grey eyes, just the color of violets blossom ed in the shade, .let black hair, plainly brushed from her forehead, and confined iu one knot at the back of her neck and a little red mouth very saucy and somewhat haughty also, in its curves. "Arc you nearly ready to take my picture, sii ('' she asked, rather impatiently ns the operator entered tho room on some trilling errand. "Mot tiite yet, ma'am. AVo shall be ready soon 1 hope, however. To tell the truth, we didn't anticipate so much trouble from our present subject n baby, ma'am, who will not sit still "A babv oh. then, I haven't another j word to say," said Virginia, scornfully el i evating her pretty shoulders as she turned i towards her. companions. 'I detest ba- bies !' ! "Why, Virginia ?" exclaimed Mrs. 'Wal ' ter, her matron sisler, with genuine horror, i "Can't help it I never could t'idure a ! baby that's one of my articles of faith !"' j "And how m.my articles -of faith have I you i" laughingly imputed another compnn ) ion. i "Oh, several. One is n heart v aversion to widowers that class of dved over bus bands who are always alluding to Mrs. Smith Number One ! If I became that lady's successor, 1 would be perpetually fearful I was standing in the Way of Mrs. Smith Number Three ; And then the idea of washing the faces and combing the hair of six unruly step children ! No second hand babies for me, thank you." But if Virginia could only have had a peep into the operating loom, where that hael-eyed baby with pink ribbons at ils i-lioulders and a string of red coral around its plum)) neck was setting photography at its perfumed breath nearly away, with true feminine inconsistency. "Harry, do sit still !" pleaded the nurse, in despair, while the operator dodged hope lessly to and fro, trying to "catch a focus,"' and two three young lady aunts jingling their watch chains and held their bracelets, in the vain endeavor to attract the little fine's eye. But if -the Uintessunee of ob stinacy can be imagined to fix its throne in a yea;- old baby, that baby was the indi vidual. All of a sudden, a bright-winged canary in a cage opposite began to sing piercingly. The scarlet lips opened in a wondering smile the large hael eyes were fixed for a moment. The operator jerked the drapery away from his instrument with the agility of magic Ihe sunrays swept their pencils over tlie gleaming plate, ami j "O, lei me see it !" shrieked aunts and nurse, inn contused t rebel chorus, crow ding mound the photographer as, alter u shell absence, he entered a room bearing the plate. "Only let me get one peep at it !"' "How delighted liaymond will be," whis pered one of the young aunts to her sister, as she caught the baby in her arms, crushing her brown curs against its silky little head. -Where shall I send the cards, ma'ani V asked the operator. "To Captain May I!aytnond May, Fhil ii'dclphia. Just the nddre.-s pica': no oth er wtn ils. We intend it lor a birthday sur prise to my brother." "Very well, ma'am.

INlISCELLANEOUSr 'I'lif Xrgm Troop. Two years were Riifl'ered tf elapse 1 fire any extensive plan for organizing regiments of uegro troops were undertaken. Hecent cxpcricnco has proved that this was a seri ous loss of time to us. The colored soldiers have fought so well that it is not improba ble that if they had been enlistc 1 in the beginning of the rebellion they might in many cases have saved us from defeat, and in other cases made victory more decisive. There is now n general demand for negro troops in nil the Southern Departments, and as their good qualities as soldiers ure now undisputed, we presume there will be less ,liir,cnltv than there has heretofore been in .. .. ' .. cn,wllntf L'"t'ri" nmn whose word will not be questioned, and wc think it proper to reprint here what he savs of the conduct of the negro troops iu the attack on Port Hudson. His official report says : "On the extreme right of our line, I posted the Fir.-t and Third regiments of negro troojis. The First regiment of Louisiana Engineers, composed exclusively of colored men, excepting the oilicers, was also engaged in the operations cf the dav. The position ever doubt imiv have existed heretofore : to the ellieieiiev of organizations of this r ?f ibis il-n- iu i in? ii.ii in ov t .s cnanieicr, tlio lnstorv ut tins dav prove ' conclusively to those who were in condition to observe the conduct of these regiments I that the government will find in this class 'of troops effective supporters nnd de fenders. The severe test to which they ' were subjected, nnd the determined manner ! in w hich they encountered the enemy, leaves ! upon my miud no doubt of their ultimate success. They require only good oilicers, .commands of limited numbers, and careful discipline, to make them excellent soldiers." Nc Have seen it estimated that the whole : number of colored soldiers in actual service i in our armies is about ol.OOO. Tinier the ' stimulus of the recent successes, and tho ; encomiums bestowed upon them, this nuin i ii-idruiileil 'i,',' ' ; oer can easily lie trebled or ! The whole number inli.-ted from mil is said to be 115.) men, but these lifrf" arc ill credited to Massachusetts, so that she will, very unjustly, be credited with men fuinished' bv'l'e.o.sylyania. We trust that measures will be taken hereafter for organi- ing the colored men enlisting in this State into Pennsylvania regiinriils. A'c ought to be able out ot our colored popuhition of j ubout sixty thousand, to raise uf least live regiments. If the other loyal Stales would j furnish a like proportion, the whole force , would be about twenty-rive thousand men. j The enlistments among the "contrabands" i in the Southern States could easily be raised lo seventy or eiguty tiioiistm.l men. rieventy thousand able-bodied men are worth to the I Southern people fully sixty millions of dol- j lam. so that while making this important j addition to our armies, wc will be crippling j the slave owner iu both capital and labor.

Johnston, Jackson. Last Wednesday night at dark ho started, and holding ft pass from Pemberton was allowed to leave the enclosure in tho P ar of irksburg. Douglas had, unknow n to his superiors, for u long lime meditated j escape, iind he could not neglect this golden j opportunity. Instead of tiling to avoid our ; i. . . , ' - . , v i i . i , , pickets, therefore, he mnreiie I boldly up to them and surrendered himself a prisoners. Ueiu-ral Launian conversed with him long enough to discover that thero was meat iu that shell, and sent liuu to Oeneral Grant To him he delivered the message he was instructed to deliver to Johnston. It win in effect as follows: 'I have 15,0o0 men iu Vicksburg. and rations for thirty days ono meal a day. Come to my aid with an army of 30,000 "men. Attack ("rant in his rear. If you cannot do this within ten days you had better retreat; Ammunition is nearly exhausted, particularly percussion caps.' This is tho substance of the message, al though in exact terms. Douglas volunteered also other valuable information, which leaves no doubt of the ultimate capture of t'.w rebel iirtny. "A large proportion of the buildings in the city are destroyed, und over a hundred j women and children killed by the explosion of our shells from the mortar and guiibiata and from the batteries in the rear. "The citizens those who tire not in tho trenches protect theatselves from our firo by entering caves dug in the face of the bluff, to which they have removed their familitu and their treasures. "For the sake of economizing rntions Pemberton has ordered eve:y horse andmulo except those used by field and Ftati' oilicers to be turned outside his lines. ;f those) thus turned out Ucneral Oiaiit has secured several thousand.
