His lather ,wris one of the, most efficient wits thatever -Icrieti.,". 'The OW man lived out in Arkansas, and he was very fond of pla3 Ing pnictica jokes. The moat amusing htiati he ever perpetrated, was in the 818 of 1553, When ne ourned down 1d5..11.-atmithatiocuicAntir dated his wife and children, and robbed bias ot tine hundred dollars. But arehow the joke leaked out, and the sheriff, who was also a mad wag, retaliated in the jail -yard one morning and this genial humorist died. His son. I say, inherited histaste for pranks, and this is what let him out. It was the insu- ranee agencies, however, ,t e at immediately caused his death. He had exactly one hundred and thirty thousand friends and acquaintances in the insurance business, and it made •• no differ ence where Wm. Hemy_McDon,gatamf in Ws_ wide, wide — woild fie was sure to have some one of these agents walking up to him and boring him to take out- a policy in some company or other. They tackled him in the street, at church, in bedohile he was washing himself and at prayers. Every one of them belonged to's dom pany that had millions on millions of capital, on which they worked along, it appeared, simply for the purpose of being beneficent to Wm. Henry McDougal, for according to these agents, all Mr. McDougal had to do was to take out a policy, and begin to squander a princely revenue the next morning. But at last William Henry was so annoyed by this attention that he determined to play a series of jokes on the agents, and hold them up to con tempt and ridicule. Bo be first took a risk in the Hopelessly Mutual Accident Insurance Company for five thousand dollars. Then he went around and spread his left leg over a railroad track, and had it ripped right off by a locomotive. Then be invested in the Wanderer's Friend Company (be went for the accident companies first, you understand,) and immediately afterwards fell through a hatchway and broke his right arm so that it had to be carved off. Two days after his recovery, and inst after he had taken out a policy in the Unmarried Aunts and Destitute Nieces Company, he arranged a doubleebarrelled gun so that it prematurely exploded and antputated the whole top of his head. - Bat, before he got her trepanned, he took some more chances in an other accident company, and was well he did, too, for while the surgeon was butchering away at his skull,the knife fell,and, with such nice pre cision,that Mr. biacDougal's nose melted off in a slice. Mac, you may be sure was heartily amused at the dismay of the companies, but ho had a great fund of humor, and he wasn't half through yet. One week after he had got his policies all fixed, 'the only boiler that burst that month in Philadet phia, exploded, and but one man • was isjared. His name was William t Henry MacDougal. He was thrown ninety feet in the air, and. he came down with his other aria off;• with three ribs broken, and with a compound fracture of. the spine. He laughed in his empty sleeve atlhe misery of the company, but he enjoyed"the'joke even more when; after taking another risk, he went out and gat struck by lightning so that his Lett side was paralyzedforlife.._ He carried the thing too far I think, when ho again invested heavily. only, the day tiefore his right eye was poked out with `aril umbrella at 'a Democratic ratification Meeting. _And it was pardonable for him to haie his pocket full of poll cies at the very moment when a brick fell froin a new, house and broke.hia collarbone, so tkat. he staggered againstscaffolding - Pole ifia . jabbed out his other eye. Any other man would have had fnn enough, , but he must go and invest againi and then hobble around to ilium mill, and dispose hisperson Ale That the 'gang-eaw bissected his remaining leg• In about one second. Bat he was in'for getting the laugh on those agents, and so he kept on, taking out policies against accidents, and then he fell over an oyster knife, and ran it through his lung, and in trying to cure the wound, he took the wrong medicine, and all but poisoned himself.

The Secretary,• per se, Is not a man of much determi nation of character, and;his frequent visits to the White House, and long interviews with the Pre sident,' since the cases of the Supervisors have been under consideration, lead to the belief that, hls action is inspired by the prealaing genius at the Executive Mansion. •The nominations made by Rollma for these positions were all Republi cans, men of standing, honesty and integrity of character, and competent for the places. The Secretary takes no ,exception to them on these grounds, but argues . that the appointments ought to be divided between Republicans anti, Democrats, and positively refuses to confirm any of them, unless such a trartiaan arrangement is • made.' Commissioner Rollins, on the other hand, a SMITS that .political considerations should have nothing to do with these appointments, -And having recommended capable-- men, he' is de = ternuned to throw upon the .

At this season, the elite of the South, who would not deign to mix withthe vulgar "crowd" at Cape May and Atlantic' City, journey to the White Sulphur Springs, in Greenbrier county, West Virginia, where they enjoy themselves in drinking the waters, balls, parties, hops, &c. My amiable friend, L. Q.Waalungton of the Nation al In telligencer, is just now on a Ant there, and writes such a lively, spirited description of a grand fancy ball there, that I,cannot resist the to mptation of transferring a few "mems" for your edification. Spenking of the company pre sent, he says: . We have at the White Sulphur a thousand .visitors—quite a number from the 'Northern cities New York, Portland. Philadelphia, Chicago,. and St. Louis, but chiefly from Maryland, the District of Columbia Virginia and the Southern States. stil l there ; are no cliques of people from States. The beaux fly to the girls from other States, the company harmonizes.well, and the sulphur water this year makes everybody, amiable. -No one State dominates or gives' tone to the'others." THE GRAND FANCY BALL-CARPET BAGGERS CARI CATURED. The mind fancy ball took place on the 12th. Describing it, Washington shows, in his felicitous style, how. tlrescrema de da creme introduced-poli tical characters, to ridicule the "carpet baggers:" "We had all characters—Persians e , Turks, Indi ans, Irishmen, devils, fools, fat men, lean men, spoiled children, warriors and preachers, Amine dab Sleek, lovers' and old men; sailor boys, heroes and statesmen_ _pi the past; even Hamlet -had 'burst; his deretnerifs, and come' "fn"" to take a peep at the show,: tar • there was no admission fee; and it was a 'free _fight between monarch and peasant, sailor and prince; and, of course. under our.modern : 'reconstruction' aus pices, came three 'carpet baggers,' carrying each aniambrella and acarpet-baglin linen dusters —one h tall specimen enough, with a letter of in troduction purporting to be from Mr. Henry Wilsbri,.Genersl Howard and other 'trooly men of the Radical faith,reed.tamending him for office. t Ho had started late,'he acknowledged,but wanted to get all that was left, and watt wasby name Mr. Peter Graball t of - Burlingame'ff old 'district, accompanied by his friend, Peleg - Itzekiel Bum mer, ESq., from New Hempel:dm:or Maine, I for get which - ." run near DRESSED .

Re publican fundshes the following: Ben.

ITremendoUs cheers, hating several minutes.l • • The eople of Georgia are famous for burning journals and records. Shortly after the adoption of the Constitution . f Georgia, (I do not know the year,) the Legislature passed an act to sell the Indian lands of thir State, and, I belleve,char tered-three- companies to dispose of them; the Georgia Lend Company, the •Mississippi Land Company, and the Yazoo Land Company; direct in scrin to be issued at ten cents an acre, pay able in Spanish milled dollars, bnt would not re ceive Georgia State scrip, and sent • their agents North to dispose of the same. Their agenta suc ceeded in disposing of quite an amount in n the New-England States, and among the pur chasers were Eliphalet Dickthson, $5,000; Thomas W. Dickin s on, $5,000; .and Consider Dickinstni, $9,000; in all $l9lOOO from three brother's in the town of Deer -field, for which they received nothing.. There. were many others in old Hampshire county that purchased various amounts. The agents took the .money home with them . , but, as; Is supposed, did notdivide it so as tir,surt all parties (since none of it appears to havegot intothiStateTreasnry). The, disaffected pettiest, who did not yet anyL the .ixtresey, succeeded in .electing a tura that voted to 'annul the acts of a former e, and to destroy all reeordrfof grants; although, they knew the land had been sold to parties who ' supposed the State of , Georgia, would fulfil its cont acts. - They voted to cut put all leilyet3 COD. talang any the enactments, and burn &cm? . ,which Was accordingly done, and thepipers were . burned in front of th e State House - Milledge ville, to. the/ gratiftention .of the State dais engaged therein,' hat to.the disgrace of the Atate 0 1 - Georg* r 1 nott-beewirtformed,7-IMew. frint,,,thiaeNne..r.WaraltekiniVims9vAD rained part of theect for the sale' of the land. , I suppose Mr. Hill' will see that this obnoxious leans taken out and burned with the other jour nal's 'and records that he proposes to destroy.

Grant war t -,returning trom Covh.__Kitti_t9JP_Tillgiteld.ain_o_beffienskto GOV: — YateTs; - tinideritig Idtif the command of the Twenty-first regiment, he, with several newly-appointed officers of Ohio and In diana regiments, dined by invitation, with the late Hon. Daniel Mace, of Lafayette, ' lnd., for merly a member of Congress from that district. Of course the condition of the country and the probabilities of the war, then just began, were the chief subjects of conversation among these new soldiers of, the Union. The . danger of a ne gro insurrection being under discussion an Ohio officer declared that, were he in line of battle about to engage the enemy, and the 'slaves should revolt, he . would stop the fight long enough to join the Confederates in sup pressing the insurrection and reducing the slaves to obedience. Grant, who sat by his side until then a quietjlatener, turned to him and replied: ."Colonel W .-- I don't Want to interrupt yon or hurt your feelings; but I must tell you that amen who can b tress such a sentiment as that is not far from, st 4 a traitor, and an unsafe man to lead our soldiers." Colonel W. was deeply exas perated under this telling rebuke, but Grant was firm, and it was only through the pacific interpo sition of Major Mace .that a personal difficulty was averted. The foregoing incident was related by Major Mace to a company of friends at Lafay ette, in the winter of 186a-6, just after his appoint ment by Mr. Johnson to the office of Postmaster at that place, and we have'it from an officer who heard him make the statement.—Quincy (III.) Whig, A ug. 19. The Reported Tendeney to Insanity in SerinoUrfs The tendency to Insanity in the family of the Democratic candidate for the Presidency has got into discussion in the Papers. In one view of the case of course, nobody would refer to it. Had tLe terrible calamity , fallen upon but a single member pf,the family',affording no ground for sus pecting a`general tendency. the single case would not be brought before ,the public. A gentleman who has long resided in-Utica, told us (and we wrote it down at the moment) that Mr. Sey mour's father killed himself In a fit of insanity; his mother was thereafter insane for ten or more years and until her death; a brother of his father himself while insane; and an aunt of his father did the same. Residents of Utica say thet there have been times when Mr. Seymour's friends feared the effects of further agitation, and he sought diversion by excursions away from society, to avoid the possible ' dan ger. And they say also that if It be a fact that Mr. Seymour -desired to avoid the nomination, as some of them believe. it was because he dreads great, and prolonged excite ments.

Kimberly with regard to the action pf his conn ed here in bringing a suit against you, telling 'O&ITICAi him that the whole movement was intended merel make political catal for Robert J. Brent, y who is seeklnx the Democratic nomination for Congress in the Hid District. I this morn ing received an answer from hlm in which he ea was very much vexed when I saw by the papers the arrest of Gen. Batter, as well as .sur prised, as I thought the matter had been dropped. In putting this claim in the hands of Mr. Addi son, who claimed to be a staunch Unionist, I con templated nothing but his prosecuting it with the Department to which the money had , been paid over. In fact, in a - conversation with Mr. Addi son on the subject, he stated to me that he thought Gen. Butler himself would favor return ing all or ppart of it. "AN to doing anything to make capital for the Democraticparty, you I would be one of the last men in the catintry to irks them aid or comfort. The only thing that I fidt;sore about was my being called a rebel, as I have always been earnest and outspoken support of the Government during the war, and of the Republi can party since its close. I wish you would write to Gen. Butler and assure him that the suit was brought against him without my knowledge or consent." I have deemed it my duty, under ail`' the cir enmetances, to forward you the contents of this letter from Mr. Kimberly; and to assure you that he haft been at all times, =distill Is, an active and - energetic lidaryland 'Republican; bens of the firm of Kimberly.

MY DEAR Sin : Your letter of the lath rust is received; many thanks for the interest you have so kindly and voluntarily taken in the matter of the Kimberly suit. That I was much surprised at what now appears to be the action of Messrs. Kimberly's attorney in return for uniformly courteous, and 'just treitment of the Kimberly Brothers when 1 was in command in Virginia, I need not say. In saying that this was a specimen of Rebel claims I meant precisely that for doing what I believed to, be my duty I had been sued by Rebeleand their sympathizers; as I' did not dofttit then this to be, and as your note, with extracts from Mr. Kimberly's fetter, assures me is the fact, that . the suit war ' thus instigated. Messrs. Kimberly& whom I had supposed tope, and during the war had treated as Union men, seemed to have changed, and I took this suit as eVidence of,the change. Something ought to be pardoned to the natural irritation at finding myself tined and that suit' telegraphed over the country, "foieex tortion," as if -I, had been guilty of Using my power for private glint. I am • glad upon the whole that he suit was brought by- these' rascally attorneys, for our attorney is a rascal if he brings an unauthorald and unjust mai as Mr. Kimberly says his lawyers 'have for the purpose of injuring a politleal opponent, as it illustrates the, characters of all of them. Addi son, who brings this unfounded suit without the _authority of h i s clients says in. his card explain ing it he is a true Union man. A Portuguese prolerb says: "Heil - is paved with good intee tans." That pavement will be trodden largely by just'such barratrlons lawyers and Union ":men ; its:he and btu associate Brent are shown to be.

CA RIPAIGN 'TRILS. —Here is a bit of revolutionary talk from a Georgian orator nm:uA:Ramsey: "Georgia. has passed through a fiery ordeal. _Some oilier children, during the war she was compelled to wage, deserted her and joined her enemies. Let them be like Arad:Vont:Per accursed. We have seen our soldiers fall, our cities in flames and our citizens torn from their peaceful homes. We looked upon it unmoved and unbleached. Butwe can bear it no louzer. We will now, at all hazards, recover our lost liberties, and restore the State. We are in the midst of a great revolution, which may end peaceably at the ballot-box, bat if not, then the true men of the South will rally once more around their now folded banner, and will try the issue at the cartridge-box. Remember the an cestors from whom you sprung. There are men in the North who are now truly with you, and who will, in such a conflict, if necessary, lead your battalions. We did not make the other war. It was forced upon us. We simply stood for the rights for which our fathers bled. And we will stand there again, come, peace or war." —Some of the Democratic leadersltre finding out that abusing General Grant Is unpopular.
