TEE TABLES TURNED. At the- name of Cale Meeks, what teminiseenceif pass before oar mental 'Old 'recollections come d a crowd sag , upon vs, n, we can see an array • - of the. "solid" pass before the mind's eye, in the shape of seekers after the mythical Frank McLaughlin, the vic— tims of croton and jalap, for the ad ministration of which no medical rea son existed, and' along line of those , Who have been humbugged generally without any specific regard to the par tiCular speciep of sell. Cale was the prince of_dry jokers ; he lived, moved, and had his being through a diurnal succession of sells; indeed, his life was one great sell composed of a eonglom eration of the infinitesimal sells of fifty years duration. Now Dixby, Nathan Dixby, was one of 'Cale's truest and stannahest husiness acquaintances, al though he had never been introduced into the domestic. circle made glad by theportly presence of lirs. Cale, who *as somewhat addicted to jeniousy.-- he reason for this lack of acquaint ance was that she,lived a secluded life 'in one of the little villages on Long Island, and Nat. Dixby lived in the Babel of New York. Well, one day Cale was hard pushed for an object on ' which to inflict a practical joke, and in his dilemma selected his friend Nat as his Victim. The manner in which Nat was Sold ,I do not, choose particularly . to describe. - Suffice it to say that un der the play of Cale's exuberant fancy, Nat made a journey to Albany, insist :p4 #l4 a lady there had sent him an amatory. epistle, • which he produced.— ' the lady' became indignant, called in the aid of :her. husband, who literally Mr. Dixby, who thereafter re turned to Gotham with a large`and flea in his oar. Thii event hap .pened in _the early springtime, and on a clear day. About a week after Nat'e return fibril Albany, he met Cale. The aell was disclosed by Cale, and a hear , ty = laugh_ was had over Nat's mishap, and:at. his still bruised features, in wbieh 4e' jained ; but those present no ticed the fact that he did not laugh an inch beloiv the'.chin; indeed it was generally believed that Nat's mirth was entirely:sitnqlsOd• 'Now, old fellow,' said Cale, 'you • ddon'thold_apy malice, do you P &Not a -bit,' answered Nat; 'and in token of amity, let 'us, take a good stalle all round.' Which thing was - done in the usual manner. --Allow did ycn pome tp town ?' asked Nat. i.f.drove up in a light wagon,' re• plied Cale. ' Und when will you return home 7' 'About six o'clock this evening,' an- IS'ered Cale. 1 CO , . - • • : • . , . . . `77" . .:1.i ' WILLIAM LEWIS, Editor andproprietor: VOL XX. Nat thereupon plead an engagement and loft; but as soon as he was out of oar shot of his joker friend, repaired to Gray's stable, in Warren:street, whore he hired a fast horse and a light vela. de, and with which ho started, thro' a by street, for the residence of his friend Cale, on Long Island. On ar• riving, he loft his horse and wagon at a public house, and proceeded to the aforesaid residence , whore he inquired of the servant if Mr. Meeks was at home. On being answered, as he knew he would be, in the negative, he said: 'This is unfortunate. I wanted to pay him some money. If I could see Mrs. Meeks it would do as well;. she could - give a receipt in her husband's name.' Mrs. Meeks was frugal and industri ous, and always attentive to her hue. band's interests. As the last remark fell from the lips of Nat, a fine looking matron called from up the stairs to the servant 'to show the gentleman in the parlor,' where she followed in a few minutes. Nat bowed, and said : desire tciseo Mrs. Meeks, madam.' 'Very well,' replied she, 'I am Mrs. Meeks..' 'Pardon me, madam,' said Nat, with a doubtful shako of the head; 'but this is a matter of some importance—the payment of money;, and you are not the lady Mr. Meeks introduced to me as his wife last winter.' 'Not the lady? What,' shrieked she, 'do you mean to tell me that—' simply tell you, madam,' replied . Nat, with icy imperturbability, 'that Mr. Meeks last winter, in Broadway, near Leonard street, introduced me to a lady whom he called Mrs. Meeks, and you are not the lady.' 'lndeed exclaimed Mrs. Meek, ber eyes flushing fire: 'how old was she?' 'Well, about twenly:fiVo.' " 'Twenty—five! And how was she dressed 1' 'She wore her hair in ringlets, had diamond ear rings!'— " 'Diamond car rings 'A heavy silk' velvet- dress, very largo gold bracelets, a magnificent watch and chain' 'Well, go on,' she said spitefully. `Silk velvet bat trimmed with mag— nificent laco, and a muff and boa.' 'Boa!' screeched out the now thor oughly irate dame : 'you'd better bore your way out of this house, sir, mighty quick, or else somebody- will have the headache! No, sir, I am not Mrs. Meeks, and I want you to leave.' 'O, certainly,' said Nat, who saw the tallest kind of a storm brewing, and who had good reason to believe that the sturdy dame might launch at his head a conk-shell or some other heavy ornaments which adorned the mantle. Nat thereupon beat a hasty retreat from off the promises, and placed him self behind a stone, wail, from which ho could command a view of the Brooklyn turnpike: lie did not wait long before he saw amiable Cale driving down the road, all unconscious of the ambush of Nat. The expression of Cale's face was one of great amiability, and ex emplified that he was at peace with 'all the World and the rest of mankind.' ' a brief space of time Cale's steed was given in charge of a stable boy, and unconscious and happy, ho entered his domicile and shut the door. The moment.he .entered, an attentive ear might have iletected- the sound , of a voice in no way mellow or expressive of endearment ; and in an instant after Cale hurriedly came through the door, with amazement on his front and a mop in his roar, the soft end of which was under the direct and per - spnal su• perintendence of a lady who was very red in .the face - and_ very sturdy in arms, and who strongly resembled Mrs. Meeks: - The battle had commenced in the passage way. Cale's castor, Which shone in the rays of the setting sun as he drove down the - rnad, was . noiy. : very much bruised, and out of shape—indeed..it was driven far down . over Cale's amiable physiognomy. 'What in thunder's out ?' yelled Cale 'Twenty five years old l'-shrieked the infuriate dame, and bang Cale caught the mop ever his shoulders.— ',Corkscrew ringlets!' and punk he got it over the back, with all the strength which nature and anger had given the enraged lady. , 'Blazes take you, don't do that!' But it was no use, he had to take it. 'Diamond ear rings punk ! "Silk velvet dress !' bang! 'Gold bracelets! slump! %Ardor I' roared Cale. "Watch and chain !' she shrieked, and bliff he took it over the head. 'A muff bang I bang! 'Boa!' bang I bang! and dovrn went poor Cale with. a yell of murder Now fell the blows thick and cast op the braised head, bAcig 40-alto of the prostrate joker, while the lady again rehearsed the catalogue of tho wearing ME= HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1805. apparel of the other Mrs. Meeks, ing the utterance with - a blow upon her proetrato and bleeding spouse. But all•things must have an end The violent exercise of the arms and lungs, in which Mrs Meeks had indul ged, had somewhat exhausted her.— She rapidly ran through Nat's imagi• nary dekription, and feeling her strength departing, gathered herself up for one grand and final effort. Cale looked with horror on the upraised mop : he hoard the words : 'O, tho huzzy I' shouted in a vigorous tone, he beard a hurling, whizzing sound in thi: air, and the next instant Cale's nose was as flat as any other part of - his face. The mop and his sweet tempered wife retreated into the mansion and left him alone-in his gore. Slowly and with the most keen sensation of pain, he raised himself to a sitting posture, and with many a groan of agony, proceeded to inspect his personal condition. 'l'll bo hanged if this arm ain't bro ken ! 0 ! and this left shoulder must be dislocated I 0 0 ! and good gra cious! what a nose! That woman must be crazy ! I shant be able to go about for a month ! 0, Lord, how sore I am l' Now Nat, with the most pleasurable emotions, bad, through the crevice of the fence-, observed the whole of the littlo family jar which I have so feebly described, and ho now stood looking over the fence, at the. back of his dear friend. 'I say, Uncle Cale I' shouted Nat. 'Hey!' said Cale, as ho turned, in some little astonishment, a look upon his comfier victim. • 'I say, Cale, how do you feel about It now?'. .0, you ---1' (I shall leave it bt"t9 the enraged Cale, as he sprang to feet — and — made for--the house; fix your flint." But Nat didn't want his flint fixed, and therefore made his way, with all possible celerity, up the road. Soon after there appeared upon the green award, rendered Sanguinary and sacred by conjugal endearments, a lame man with a.shocking bad bat, and who had taken possession of a fowling piece loaded with buckshot.— If the lame man meant to shoot Nat, ho reckoned' without his host. That worthy, thanks to a long and thin pair of legs, was out of gunshot range. Cale from that time forth, and until he filled the grave, eschelied dry-jok ing, and was always sensitive on the subject of mops. A Wedding that Didn't Come Off. The Pittsburg Chronicle of the 10th is responsible for the following, which we doubt not is literally true—at least it is laughable and.well told : 'A rather rich affair occurred in East Liberty The other night, for the par. tioulare of which we are indebted to a friend. It appears that a 'culled' individual, named Smith, being smitten With the dusty charms of a female ac quaintance, proposed for her hand, and his suit having been accepted, the day was named and everything arranged to make the twain ono. Accordingly, one night last week the partietiaccom 'panied by several friends, Presented themselves at the; house of theirpreach or to be married, and everything was progressing pleasantly until the min• ister put the usual question .Whether there were any present who had aught to say against the union of the pair? A pause followed, which was soon bro ken however by a big colored fellow responding from among the spectators: 'Yolk ; t'se jections to urge to dis here marriage prOceeden' hirder.' As soon us the 04eitement which- the in terruption produced had subsided tho bridegroom looked daggers at the in truder, invited him if he bad any "jec. Vona" to make to 'spit em out : that -the guessed he coalden't prove notin agin him no how.' The other drawing himself up to his full height replied with solemn dignity : Mr. Smith ! NB come up hero all the way from Oakland, to stop dis marriage. You know, sah, you have, a wife in the Shenandoah Valley, and that the peer woman lubs you to clef. Mr. Smith I'se ashamed ob you your conduct is di-- graceful.' Prekicber—'Mr. Smith what have you to say to this ?' Smith— 'Why, sah, I, had a Wife in the Shen.. andoah Valley, but I think she is dead.' 'Dead l' replied the other, 'why, Mr. Smith, I saw her the oder day, and sbe sent beriqb to you and the -dill; dren'allib, and told you. to send her some money. I declare I'se ashamed of you Mr. Smith.' Somo further con versation took place, 'the result of which Was that the marriage was stop ped, whicill - so affected the bride that she swooned away, falling into the arms of the preacher, much to the' an noyance of the reverend gentleman, who hardly anticipated a denouement so weighty or ridieulous. -PRitSVVERE.- C73EX/ILXLME3ESITC):N'. DETAILED ACCOUNT Or THE OCCUPATION. CONDITION OF THE CITY. TEE FIRE AND TEE EXPLOSION. The Feeling Among the Citizens, Wo make the following extracts, from a letter to the Cincinnati Commer cial, dated Charleston, February 18 : Last night, about midnight, General Gilmore left Hilton Head on the flag steamer, the W. W. Colt, and I was permitted to accompany him, my de sire to do so being doubly strong from a conviction that the crisis about Charleston was fast, ripening. The General gave orders to run to Bull's Bay, which is about twenty-five miles north of Charleston, and the immedi ate hase of operations for a force of Gilmore's troops under the command of General Potter. • After describing the approach to Charleston and the placing of the flag on Sumpter by Capt.' Bragg, the cor respondent proceeds: But the eye did not dwell long up. on the network of defences which line both shores of the harbor above Fort • Sumpter, or on the burning wreck of a rebel tug, beached above Moultrie. It wandered back to the city lying quiet, and save the column of smoke, lifeless, in the calm afternoon sunshine, with its five Or six white steeples, its empty piers, and silent rows of houses. The harbor and the city itself, from a distance, reminded ono vividly, in min iature, of Now York, from a like look out, which, like Charleston, as. I need hardly say, is compactly built on a narrow strip at the confluence of two rivers. We soon passed the obstruc tions which, so far as we could see, are simply-piles-drtuen_partlitly ma.tue harbor a mile from the city, with am ple room left in the channel remaining open to admit two or three ships abreast. We saw our flag,--a small otieflattering fpgrix the cupola of the olepostoffice. At : one of the piers were two of our smaller tugs; at .an other, one of our light-draft gunboats, and at anchor, a short distance front the dock, was Admiral Dahlgren's flag boat. The Colt, the fifth vessel to reach Charleston, swung beside-a-orazy. old pier, to reach which first, two of the officers of the' Colt had a playful scuffie, the result of which verified the maxim that the battle is not always to the strong. The motley crowd of some hundred on the pier to which the tugs were fastencd,seeing a handsome trans. port land with its . two large white stars on a field of blue, flying the jack staff, deserted the little crafts and the Admiral, and rapidly_ made a detour to the pier at which we rode. A lot of urchins, in worn Oat rebel jackets, were the skirmiihers ; then negroes, of both sexes, who rushed to shake hands with such of the; crew as were already ashore; then ton or:fifteen stragglers, all Irish or Cerman, front the rebel army, who had hidden to lan into our hands, and looked on without demon stration ; and, lastly, a squad of five young ladies, of. German extraction, pretty , well, dressed for - Charleston, twenty per cent of the five being rosy, plump, good4Ooking and,-all not in the least afraid of the Tankees. In all, GcneralGilmore's committee of recep tion numbered barely one hundred, and was :composed as nave stated. Along the whOle liee of • piers not an other sent was visible, save a few of our colored soldiers. The streets down which we could:look: were • deserted, not a horse or a vehicle in sight. No smoke arose from the 'chinaneyS, no blinds were 'thrown open. But the piers , told the, most eloquent tale. of decay. They were crazy, neglected, and a sorry tomb-stone to departed traffic. On none of thorn was there the slightest eiidence that any corn .merce had been carried on there in the memory of man: Thepileil were awry, the planking warped "and dismantled, and in 'places removed altogether. EVea the rings worn on the stanchions the old-time cables were no longer visible. Around the piles, and for a short distance out in the harbor, float od clots of halfloonanined cotton,. sent nearer shore; by every impulse of the. flood-tide, and - not.ati all ;detracting from the aspect of cOiatnercial ruin. - . .That portion of ,Cliarlestort spbject to the Swamp Angel's favors lay op posite -where wo were 'moored; and it was not necessary to stirfrom!the'deck of the Colt to see ,a fair Specimen of the havoc occasioned by them. • . Gen. Gilmore on for Gen. Schim melpfepnig, who was the first general officer to arrive in the city, and from him be obtained the facts of the occu pation.

The smoke from the upper end of the city (which was caused by the confla gration of about six thousand bales of cotton piled in the yard adjoining the Wilmington depot) had already set the garrisons on Morris and , Janies Islands on the qtti vice, and skirmishers went forward at an early hour, on the latter island s toward and into Fort Johnson, which was of course, deserted. Some delay occurred in getting small boats ready ; which, however, was at length accomplished, and the boats filled with both ' white and, colored troops, the whole under command of Lieut. Col. A. G. Bennet i of the 21st U. S. Colored Troops. 'The boat fleet pushed over to Sumpter, and found that empty; they then headed towards Charleston, for which the crews pulled heartily: At half-past eleven the boats grated on the beach at Charleston; Lieutenant Col onel Bennet was the first to jump ashore, though his detachment closely contested that honor with him. Very few citizens were on the piers while our boats were approaching, and no demonstration followed the landing. Mayor Mcßeth was close at band who made the usual plea for protection of life and property. The roar guard of the enemy, which had lingered to pillage rather than serve, any military purpose, did not leave the outskirts until half-past elev en ; and it does not seem to have been their design to molest our occupation of Charleston, even with a small force. General Schimmolpfennig arrived shortly after, and took command of the city. Admiral .Dahlgren arrived short ly in his flagboat Philadelphia, about two P. M. and it was nearly three when the boat of General Gilmore touched tho wharf. General Schimmelpfennig reported that the number of guns, in all, that nearly two hundred ; all of which wore spiked, but very ,few dismounted. The guns are mostly heavy, and a number of theaare, of llngilsh manufacture. The utter nervelessness ] , of the peo ple'who reMained Wits 'a matter of curl. uos remark. • They did not appear to care a pin about the matter, and seemed so well prepared for it that they took the approach of our boats,-and landing, as a matter of course.. The first land ingwas witnessed byjust such a crowd, as to nth:fib - ors - anti cumposi Lion, as flock ea on the pier when General Gilmore landed. • - A dreadful calamity Occurred at the Wilmington depot, in which a quanti ty of coMmiseary stores bad been i left, and which a motley crowd of people —men,. women and• children, were appropriating. • While the depot was crowded by those pillagere, a quantity of powder in it was ignited in a unac countable way, blowing the building to pieces, Wiling and wounding a large number. Some_ of the citizens with whom "conversed estimated the num ber at two or three hundred, which possibly is exaggerated. ' The Wil• mington depot is in the upper part of the city, and General Gilmore's 'visit was so brief, hardly an hour in dura tion, that I had no opportunity to visit the scone of disaster. It was this explosion that we bad witnessed at Bull's Bay. I descended from the Colt and en gaged in conversation with three des erters. The spokesman of the party was a deserter from the Palmetto State, one of the rebel iromclads in Charleston harbor. The fleet, consis ting of the Chicora, four guns, the Palmetto State, four guns, and the Charlestcn, six guns, were run a short distance up Ashley river and there destroyed, early in the morning. Beauregard, the report ran, had evac uated Charleston for the purpose of concentrating to give Sherman battle, and it was the impression that one of the greatest battles of tho war•. would be fought somewhere in South Caroli na, provided Sherman did not speedi ly retrace his steps. These men had heard nothing of reinforcements' arri ving from Lee's army, and they wore of the opinion that by the time Har dee and 'Beanregard concentrated; Sherman would have his hands full. 'I singled mit: in the crowd on the pier, ti, man whom f :judged from the dress and appearance; to have not much in common with the poor people around him. Ile informed the that he had Secreted, in his store and dwelling hones', dbout two' hundred bales of cotton and over seventy-five thousand dollars worth of tobaceo. This gentleman informed mo that; after the capture of Savannah the pm, : pie of Cheri oston considered the fall' of their own city as, a, thing aceoM plished. For a month, in reality, the process of evacuation had , beon going on. Citizens sent off their valuables and families, - under ono pretext or another, al ways receiving. ivith• Tiqu- TERMS, $2,00 a year in advance. °us • indignation any hint that connect ed their departure with amilitaryerisis. And so, some went to Colaintria, some to North Carolina, some to Rielimcin'd.. During four or five days preceding the evacuation the mask was thrown off. Sherman's daring was terrifying, and his rate of speed, per diem, not the modest average day'd march through Georgia.. The mantle of dig: nity fell oft the sham., and die skedad dle (I don't like the word, but it is good enough for Charleston), rapidly culminated: • • • The reads: to .Wilmington, being :the, only ones not trapped by Sherman;. were thronged. The Military evacuation commenced in earnest about three days before General Sherman captured."-Columbia. Militia was thrown over into the forts, and the regular troops with drawn and sent to Wilmington. The Firemen's Brigade, numbering . three or four hundred men, were sent to James Island. All this time General Gilmore was - worrying them at a half dozen different points. General llnteia, with his coast division ; Wag making mischief south of the city, at Comba bee river. General Potter with a strong detachment, made the .enemy uneasily anxious concerning Bull's Bay, north of the city. General Schimmelfenning seemed big with 'dis quietude, on James Island. All these operations by forces of unknown strength, with Sherman decidedly in the rear,hastened matters sensibly du ring the last days of Charleston under Confederate rule. Confusion became apparent.• When the operations at Bull's Bay began, the Firemen's. Bri gade. was ordered from James.. Island to thaVregion. They refused to run with - the military machine any longer. Theyswore they 'Wouldn't go to Bull's Buy, and they didn't. They would have been arrested, but nobody -had time to do it. , I walked down the 'pier into . -the streets, and glanced up and 490 them, ray time tieing ,too .for ;.harried Titerior streets, like 1116se ori the "ipm - y, are dead: - 'Cha.rieston ; ;14 the' .. %detidest Soutlien city I haife"evef seen sin's° the rebellion commended.' Savannah is a Paradisee - beside it. Debris froin shell lie in the streets where it fell. Every scar .where a fragment 'had struck is as visible as the day on which it was made. The lower third of ',the city was an infected diStriet. No one dared sleep there, and even when the . guns .at Morris Island were silent, men: walked with : accelerated gait and their ears pricked. The damage to Atlanta from shells is inconsidera. ble beside that to Charleston. Before leaving, tho enemy fired sev eral arsenals, workshops, and store houses, and probably some twenty . or thirty houses in all have been, 'and will be, destroyed.. The fires have all gone down, at the moment I close this letter, save in one placo, and there it is growing smaller fast.. Era I have walked far from the pier, the whistle of the Colt sounds, and I am compelled to retrace my steps. Before' wo run far wo pick. up Captain Bragg, just returned from an:errand that have a place in history. 'He bad found in Sumpter nine guns (four Columbiads and five howitzers), an old, torn rebel flag, and a cat with six kittens. His coxswain attempted to bring away the maternal cat, but she fought and scratched and bit :so furiously that; he was glad .to drop her before he reached the •boat.
