If so, let that man go to Jackson, Missis sippi, or to any point on the New Of- 'pans Railroad below Jackson, and ask anybody living on the railroad if sup plies of all kinds were not regularly sent over the road from New Orleans. Let the unbeliever inquire for a cer tain Captain Colby (formerly known in Cincinnati, Ohio ) who was a commissa ry in the Confederate army, and station ed at Jackson, Mississippi, whether he did not receive constantly large sup plies of coffee, salt, &c., Ac., for a peri od extending over eighteen months. The writer of this article, whilein Jack son, Mississippi, in the summerof 18(52, had occasion to visit the chief clerk of Captain Colby, a Mr. Bliss, formerly Governor of Colorado Territory, and while there heard a conversation take place bet ween Colonel Jones, of Gener al Bragg'sstaff, and a confidential agent ofGeneral Butler in which it wasagreed on the part ofGeneral Butler to furnish the Confederate army of the West with shoes, blankets, salt, Ac., and 4,000 sacks of salt should be delivered—if I remember right—in three weeks. Bliss and myself were separated from the speakers by a board partition, not well made, and could hear the entire conver sation. As we listened we became much interested, and exchanged frequent significant winks, both being good Con federates. * Bliss afterward "sloped" to avoid the conscript law ; he was a fine fellow for all that, however. Butler's agent want ed a hale of cotton for a sack of salt, and the parties came near splitting on the point. Don't know how it was settled, but know that supplies came in regu larly. Upon the evening of the same day that the conversation above reported took place I visited the headquarters of General Van Dorn, and while talking to two of my old acquaintances—Col. Ned. Dillon, Chief Commissary, and Col. Lo max, both graduates of West Point— General Van Dorn himself came in laughing—"Well," said he to Col. Lo max, "I have just had a proposition from Gen. Butler, and he proposes to supply ourarmy with all we want, pro viding I will send hi in cotton." "What an infernal scoundrel he is," said Van Dorn. To this we all unhesitatingly agreed. "What a spectacle of depravi ty is here presented—a man furnishing gunpowder to slay his comrades, and clothes and food to supply their ene mies." I have been a Confederate soldier of the fighting department, and have met on many fields the noble soldiers of the Northwest, and I have thought when I have seen them dead and lying around me, that they had probably fallen, kill ed by ammunition furnished byGeneral Butler. Now this beast, this "shape in fernal," presents himself before the peo ple of the North, and has been hailed with applause by thousands. Is there ajust God above, who will pour out the vials of his wrath upon those who defy him! There is, and Ben. Butler will omi to a horrible end—mark the prediction, this man is destined to a terrible end. It might have been said of him that he was sim ply a brute for publishing hisorder No. _N, or for presenting a loaded pistol at the head of a weeping lady ; but where are the terms in which to characterize the utter depravity of the man who would slay thousands of his country men for gold. Come forth ye hundreds of witnesses of this man's depravity, and make it known to the world! I summon you to the inquisition, not as a partisan, but for the cause of human ity. Ben. Butler must he unmasked! Somebody must undertake this task. Some months ago I wrote to Secreta ry Stanton, giving him "the points" against Butler, and the names of the witnesses, but nothing has been done. I wrote a private letter to Sec, etary Stanton in regard to this matter, but not a move has ever been made against him.

A MECHANICAL HOUSE.—A sensa tion has been excited in Paris by an an nouncement that Mr. Aspic, of Cincin nati, has just invented a mechanical! horse, that is likely completely to set aside the employment of its living predecessors. Mr. Aspic's horse is of the size of nature, and acts by a series of springs, enabling the rider to walk, trot, amble, or gallop at will. The "dumb animal," it is said, can twist it self about, move its eyes, prick u]> its ears, and even neigh, if winked at. The only obstacle to the acqusition of such a steed, that will require neither hay, nor corn, nor straw, nor groom, is its high price—upward of SIO,OOO. The cure of an evil tongue must be done at the heart. The weights and wheels are there, but the clock strikes according to their motion. A guileful heart makes a guileful tongue and lips. IT is the work-house where is the forge of deceits and slanders; and the tongue is only the outer shop where they are vended, and the door of it Such ware as is made within, sued and no other, can come out.— Lcighlon.

' SUBSCRIBE for the GAZETTE?. VOL. 61.--WHOLE No. 5.375 A. WARD AT NHAIiSI'EtKKS TOMB. [From the London l'unch, September 26. j MR. PI NCH, MY DKAK SIR I've been lingerin by the tomb of the la mentid Shakespeare. It is a success. You may make any use of this opin ion that you see fit. If you think its publication will subsvverve the cause of literatoor, you may publi.ate it. I told my wife Betsy when T left home that I should go to the birthplace of "Otheller," and other plays. She said that as long as I kept out of New gate she didn't care where 1 went. "But," 1 said, "don't you know that he was the greatest poit that ever lived ? Not one of these common poits, like that young idyit who writes verses to our daughter, about the roses as grows es and the breezes as blowses, but a boss poit—also a philosopher, also a man who knew a great deal about everything." She was packing my things at the time, and the only answer she made was to ask me if 1 was goin to carry both of my red flannel night caps. Yes, I've been to Stratford onto the Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare. Mr. S. is now no more. He' been dead over three hundred (JOG) years. The people of his native town are justly proud of him. They cherish iiis mem ory, and them as sell picters of his birthplace, &c., make it profitable cher ish in it. Almost everybody buys a pieter to put in their alhiom. As 1 stood gazin on the spot where Shakespeare is s'posed to have fell down on the ice and hurt hisself when a boy, (this spot cannot be bought—the town authorities say that it shall never be taken from .Stratford,) I wondered if three hundred years hence picters of my birthplace will be in demand ? Will the people of my native town be proud of me in three hundred years ? • I guess they won't short of that time, because they say that the fat man vveighin 1 ,o?H) pounds which I exhibited there was stuffed with pi tiers and cushions, which he said one very hot day in July, "Oh bother, I can't stand this," and com menced pullin the pillers out from under his weskit and heaven 'cm at the audience. I never saw a man lose flesh so fast in my life. The audience said I was a pretty man to come chiselin my own townsmen in that way. I said, "Do not be angry, feller citizens. I exhibited him simply as a work of art. 1 simply wished to show you that a man can grow fat without the use of cod-liver oil." But they wouldn't listen to me. They are a low and grovel in set of people, who excite a feel in of loathin in every brest where lorfty emotions and original idees have a bidin place. I stopped at Leamington a few min its on my way to Stratford onto the Avon, and a very beautiful town it is. I went into a shoe shop to make a pur chis, and as I enteied I saw over the door those dear familiar words, "By Appointment: 11. R. H.;" and I said to the man, "Squire, excuse me, hut this is too much. I have seen in Lon don four hundred boot and shoe shops by Appointment: 11. R. II.; and now you're at it. It is simply onpossible that the Prince can wear 100 pairs of boots. Don't tell me," I said, in a voice choked with emotion—"Oh do not tell me that you also make boots for him. Say slipper—say that you mend a boot now and then for him ; but do not tell me that you make 'em reg'lar for him." The man smilt, and said I didn't un derstand these things. He said I per haps had not noticed in London that the dealers in all sorts of articles was by Appointment. I said, "Oh, hadn't I?" Then a sudden thought flasht over me. "I have it!" said I. "When the Prince walks through a street, he no doubt looks at the shop windows." The man said "No doubt." "And the enterprisin tradesman," I continued, "the moment the Prince gets out of sight, rushes frantically and has a tin sign painted, By Appoint ment, H. R. H. It is a beautiful, a great idee!" 1 then bought a pair of shoe strings, and wringing the shopman's honest hand I started for the tomb of Shake speare in a hired fly. It looked, how ever, like a spider. "And this," I said, as 1 stood in the old churchyard at Stratford, beside a tombstone, "this marks the spot where lies William W. Shakspeare. Alars! and this is the spot where " "You've got the wrong grave," said a man—a worthy villager; "Shake speare is buried inside the church." "< )h," 1 said, "a boy told me this was it." The boy larfed and put the sliil lin I'd given him into his left eye in a inglorious manner, and commenced moving backwards towards the street. 1 pursood and captured him, and after talkin to him a spell in a sarkastic stile, 1 let him went. The old church was damp and chill. It was rainin. The only persons there when 1 entered was a fine bluff old gen tleman, who was talkin in a excited manner to a fashinibly dressed young man. "No, Ernst Montressor," the old gentleman said, it is idle to pursoo this snbjek no further. You can never marry my daughter. You were seen last Monday in Piccadilly without a umbreller. I said then, as I said now, any young man as vontursout in a un certain climit like this without a um breller, lacks foresight,caution,strength of mind and stability, and he is not the proper person to intrust a daughter's happiness to." I slapt the old gentleman on the shoulder, and I said, "You's right! You're one of those kind of men—you are—" lie wheeled suddenly round, and in I a indignant voice said, "Go way go way! This is a privit intervoo." 1 didn't stop to enrich the old gentle man's mind with my conversation. I sorter of inferred that he wasn't inclin ed to listen to mo, and so J went on. Hut he was right about the umbreller. I'm really delighted with this grand old country, Mr. Punch, but you must admit that it does rain raythur numer ously here. Whether this is owing to a monerkal form of governmontor not, I leave all candid and unprejudiced per sons tosay. William Shakespeare was born in Stratford in lofil. All the Commenta tors, Shaksporian scholars, otsetry, are agreed on this, which is the only thing they are agreed on in regard to him, except that his mantle hasn't fallen on to any poet or dramatist hard enough to hurt said poet or dramatist much. And there is no doubt if these commen tators and persons con tinner investiga ting Shakespeare's career, we shall not, in due time, knowanythingaboutitall. —When a mere lad, little William at tended the Grammar School, because, as he said, the (irammar School would n't attend him. —This remarkable re mark coining from one so young and unexperienced, set peple to thinking there might he something in this lad. lie subsequently wrote "Hamlet" and "George Barnwell." When his kind teacher went to London to accept a po sition in the otlices of the Metropolitan Railway, little William was chosen "by his fellow-pupils to deliver a farewell address. "Go on, sir," he said, "in a glorious career. Be like u eagle, and soar, and thesoarer you get the more we shall be gratified. That's so." My young readers who wish to know about Shakespeare, better get these val lyable remarks framed. I returned to the hotel. Meet in a young married couple, they asked me if 1 could direct them to the hotel which Washington Irvine used to keep? "I've understood that he was onsuc cessful as a landlord," said the lady. "We've understood," said the young man, "that he busted up." I told 'em I was a stranger, and hur ried away. They were from my coun try, and undoubtedly represented a thrifty ile well somewhere ir Pennsyl vany. It's a common thing, by the way, for an old farmer in Pennsylvany to wake up some morn in and find ile squirtin all around iiis hack yard. 11c sell out for 'normous price,and his chil dren put on gorgeous harness and start on a tower to astonish people. They succeed in doin it. Meantime the ile squirts and squirts, and Time rolls on. Let it roll. A very nice old town isStratford, and a capital inn is the Red Horse. Every admirer of the great S., must go once certainly ; and to say one isn't a admir er of him, is equivalent to sayin one has just brains enough to become a efli eient tinker. Some kind person has sent meChaw cer's Poems. Mr. 0. had talent, but he couldn't spel. No man has a right to be a lit'rary man onless he knows how to spel. 11 is a pity that Chawcer, who had geneyus, was so unedicated. He's the wass speller I know of. 1 guess I'm through, andso I lay down the pen. which is more mightier than the sword, but which I am afraid would stand a raythur slim chance beside tho needle gun. Adoo! Adoo! ART EMUS WARD. A PRIZE FIGHTER IN THE BRITISH PA R 1.1 AM I: NT .—Y ears ago, i n Englan d, there lived a notorious character named James Gulley, a public prize fighter, who, in many a fair and square stand up fight, gained many friends among the nobility and the "fancy." Having made some money, he opened a "hell" in James street, London, within a few doors of Piccadilly. Here his acquain tance with the nobility extended, and he next loomed up a pat ron of the turf, and elbowed his way into "good socie ty" at Doncaster, where he came near carrying olTthe St. Lcger stakes from the notorious Earl Jersey. From the race course at Doncaster was but a step into the British House of Commons, where James Gulley, Esq., figured as a member for the borough Friarosbor ough. So the election of John Morris sey to Congress has not only a precedent, but his previous history is almost par allel with that of the pugilistic M. P. CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE AND THE PRESIDENT.— The Washington corre spondent of the Boston Advertiser, Rad ical, gives in a dispatch of the 18th inst. the following aceoutof the much-talk ed of interviews between the Chief Jus tice and the President: Mr. Chase has recently had two in terviews with the President. The first of these was concerning judicial mat ters and had no connection with astib | sequent informal meeting of Cabinet : ministers. At the second interview, by appointment for that purpose, he was asked and gave his opinion ui>on the questions before the country, ear nestly advising the President to rec ommend the adoption of the amend ment of the Constitution as a iust basis of settlement, or, if he was not prepa red for that, to take ground in favor of substituting for the second and third sections of the amendment universal amnesty and impartial suffrage. The counsels of the Chief Justice have not heretofore been followed and there are no indications that they will be this time, in fact, Mr. Johnson yesterday expressed emphatically his determina tion to abide by bis position.
