Wc liinl in tin l'.nglish mapHzine tlic fol lowing account of n siirewrt trick ''.v which n iilockailc-nitining steamer wan t nipped in 'Y voyage from Nassau (owaids Clmrlcstim. Nassau is thus described by the writer : ''The harbor wan crammed with craft of nil sorts and sizes ; the bay was full of ship Jiinj;; the little M rents wi re crowded, tind there was a continual stir and turmoil on the (unv, all too small fur the press of trat (ic that "dailv poured in. All this animal ion. all this activity, hud been caused by the Kd crul blockade' of the southern toast ; and the cheerful faces of the buifdicrs attested the fact that Nassau was the great emporium for contraband of war and Minified cotton, and that much money was beinp; spent in the island by those employed in this punliil but perilous commerce. Wherever 1 went, in tavern, grocery, store or counting-house, there was but one all-eiifirossitifj topic, one common subject of interest the blockade. Such and such n schooner had been taken ; such a brifj had been burned, car;,'" and all, to keep her out of Yankee hands; such a droohi r had come in with cotton ; such a steamer had jrot sale t.)

They would lose smartly, for the vessel had belli condemned, whereas the l'ly by Night had got into Churleslon securely, and htr freight of J'.lakcly guns was worth twenty-three thous and dollars, net profit. "All this gambling and venturing, this staking of fortunes on the speed of a vessel or tin.' wariness of a captain, was t in illingly exciting to the broker, merchant, and other speculators who swarmed in the Nassau boarding houses, and who had only a pt cu trary interest in tho game. And 1 perceived that the risks nearly balanced the favorable chances ; that if many escaped, many w i re taken ; and the loss of iusdiip wa-, philoso phically borne by Iter owners. in-: i:.Nt; u.ps l'AssAoi:. At last lie found a steamer about to sail. When do you start ( he asked the captain. " 1 he commander s voice sunk to a w his per its lie told me that tit sunset every lands man mtt-t come on board, taking boat at some secluded jetty, to avoid prying eyes; and using nil reasonable caution, since Nas sau teemed with noil hern spies. 1 bill" an hour ul'iiT sundown he w as to hoit a signal which wa to be replied to; ami then the pilot would come oil', and the .steamer would .stand out to sea. ''After dark," muttered IVilchard, with an oath, "we may hope to get past that Yankee thief that lauigs about the. island. The (Inventor bade her keep the distance of one marine league, but she's always sneaking in now for coal, now foi bread, now be cause her engine's out of order; and the I'nited States consul communicates w ith her every day. I tell you. shipmate, there isn't one of us thai isn't dogged up and down by ra.scals in !'e lend hire. See there ! that mu latto hound has been after me these four days," pointing to a dark-complexioned fel low in the dress of a stevedore, w ho, on seeing himself observed, as lie stood under the geranium hedge, lay down w ith well feigned nonchalance, and lit his pipe. ... ' I found a good deal of (ptiet bustle and suppressed excitement on board the iinnny bcll. The tires were bunked up; the s ar tliy faces and red shirts of the engineer and his gang were visible at the hatch of their Cyclopean den, getting a breath of the ei.nl breeze bel'oie starling. Some bras guns, that had been hidden under iViiit baskets, hencoops and tarpaulins, w ere isible enough new ; and beside them lay little heaps of round shut. The crew bustied. to and fro, and the captain was so busy that he could but ri l ti in a brief word and a nod to my greeting. The sky grew darker, and sur rounding objects dimmer, every in.-taut. Tin: i'Assi;Nt;;i!s. Jloforo long the passengers arrived. Sev eral southern ger.tlemen, a few ladies and children, all making their way back from Kurope to their homes in Carolina or Vir ginia by this dangerous route, and till in peril of harsh imprisonment tit least, in the event of capture. 15y the uncertain light I could see that most, of them were pale and nervous; but they talked ill an lun lertone among themselves, and did Hot appear anx ious to cuter into conversation w ith strangers. " 'l!et up steam !' "lly the time the hoarse roar of the esca ping vapor grew loud and menacing there was a fresh bustle on deck, and 1 heard the captain give orders to 'stand by' lor slipping from the moorings and to hoist the signal, as we only waited for the pilot. ''There they are, slick and right' -three red lights and a green one " murmured u tall Virginian at my elbow ; and looking up, 1 saw the colored lamps glitnini r from the masthead. Instantly they were answered by a similar signal from some window on shoie. Tin: rn.oT. '"We'll soon see the pilot now,' said Piiti hard, rubbing M hands in a cheery manner; 'the signal's made and repeated. In ten minutes our man will be with us. llilli.a! bout ahoy ! what dy'c want " " 'ISonnybcll ahoy !' was the rejoinder in a shrill, h.itnli voice, cautiously lowered for the occasion ; 'pilot wunts to rumo on board.' "There wa u stir and a start of surprise among thoe on deck, mid us a rope Mas thrown to the boatman, Captain I'liti-hunl bcut over the side, exclaiming ; "You're uncommon iptick, my hearty.

Tin: noNNVi'.r.i.t, slips skawaisd. ''It was an anxious time when the lhmny bcll, under a full head of steam went dart ing out of the bay ; her look-outs straining their eyes to pierce the mist, and give warn ing to the helmsman of vessels ahead ; while I'ritehard walked to and fro, too fulgetty and eager to endure conversation, listening every instant for some sound that was to indicate that the federal cruiser had taken the alarm. Hut on we went, without cheek or hindrance; and we all drew our breath more freely as the lights of the town began one by otic to vanish, as if lliH sou had sw al lowed them, and the dark headlands faded away into obscurity. The American gun boat was neither seen nor felt, n circumstance which I did not lite less rrgret because ! perceived, not only by the display of the cannon alluded to, but by the re-olute de meanor of several of the crew, who stood LTouticd about n cotnilc of uncovered nllii- che-ls that our pigmv foe would not have . . . . found an entirely unresisting prize. A 11 At I,. 'One slight circumstance, hardly, as I thought, woi th mentioning, did occur before we had run half a mile to seaw ard. There c line a long, faint hail, from so great a dis tance as to be hardly distinguishable even by a sailor's practised ear, but which was announced to lie addressed to us. " 'Some boat, with a message perhaps for a passenger. The lubbers desiive rope's ending for being so late. Can 1 lie to safely, do you think :' sai.! I'ritehard to the pilot, irresolutely, and giving the word 'Slacken speed !' What the pilot answered 1 know not. I only caught the com biding phrase " 'Yankee tricks ; so, cap., you'd l est look sharp about you.' "So Prill-hard thought. lie gave the word to go on at full speed, and we heard no more about the matter. Tin: kpn. "The run was speedy and pleasant, over a dimpling summer, sea, with no boisterous behaviour on Neptune's part to make evi n the lady passengers uneasy. We saw several vessels, but none of a hostile character ; and the voyage was as agreeable and safe hith erto as any yatchting excursion iu holiday w itters. We were all disposed to be pleased and the pilot, although a saturnihe and morose personage, viewed through this rose colored haze of satisfaction and hope, be came a pcpular man on board. Captain I'ritehard pronounced hint worth his weight in gold ; for if there were no gales or rough seas to thwart our purpose, fogs were rather frequent, and here the pilot's intimate ac quaintance with the rocks, shoals and islets many of which were not noted down in the chart more than once saved the I'.onnv- bell from an ugly thump upon some hidden obstacle. For an American, Zack Foster was singularly silent ; yet there was some- thing elephantine about his high forehead and narrow dark eyes which suggested shrewdness rather than vacuity. He did his work, unswi red when spoken to, but seldom addressed any one. " Land ho !' sung out the look-out man at the masthead, and I'litchard and the pilot, who were poring together over the mail close to tl pinnacle, looked Up, w Idle I the passengers edged nearer to hear tl news. Pritehard lifted his tcle-copc, while Foster went aloft for a better view . "l.AMi 110.:" "pdisto Island, as I said, cap I' hailed the pilot ; 'and byon.l the Carolina coast.

We must put out a lew miles yet, cap.,' said the pilot 11s he leisurely descended I he rope ladder.- -There were many good glasses tu board, and we all gazed eagerly through them, and with beating hearts we recognized lh portholes, the grinniugj cannon, the 'star spangled' (lags, and warlike display of the lederal blockading squadron. 1 he steamer was put about, and we stood further out, until shore and ships were a'ike lost to view The disappointment of the pasx ngcrs, who had been granted a mere glimpse of the laud that to them was home, wa consieh r alile; but none could doubt the prudence of delaying our enlrance into Charleston harbor until night should ussist us in elud ing the hostile war n-ssils. '' here was no going to ben onboard the Ilonny bell that night ; we all kept to the deck, eagerly gazing out over ihc sparkling and phos phorescent sea, glimmering and glancing with St. Klnio's tires. There was a pale young moon a mere sickle of silver -in the sky ; and objects were so faintly disiarnibli! that the utmost caution w as me. ssary. The second mate took the helm, while the first mate superintended the almost con-tant healing of the lead, and the captain and pilot stood on the forecastle noting Ihe re plies of the nailor, l hauled as they weie iu a shrill iuonoloiie, ill accordance u illi old custom. " 'Ten fathoms sheer 1 lly the deep, nine ! I!y the mark, seven V called out the leads man, from the chains. "Water idler dots shoal here, cap.

If a knapsack was put. on carelessly, he told the guilty man's captain that he "didn't know how to strap on a knapsack."' If a canteen was mis.-.ing he ridiculed the soldier who thought he could light without water, and scolded his ollieer. AH this pleased the men, without exactly oll'emling the ollieer, and the whole army had a hearty laugh over every such scene, and felt an increased admiration for the (leneral. (len. Thomas has another system that makes him. not in the common sense of the t. rm, popular perhaps not as popular as Uosecrans. He has the decpseated and deep-rooted alVection of his men. It is of the undemonstrative kind. Hestands forth in the army as above suspicion, and is looked upon by the nriny as the nation looks upon its great men of the past with a sort of reverence. He never for a single moment sacriliccs his dignity, though no private soldier ever had a dillleuity in reaching his ear. He alway.. li mis a patient listener and sound adviser. lie has a quiet way of deciding, from which a soldier never deemed it proper to appeal. lie talks in a low, quiet strain.

The army reveres the man, and I have no doubt will heartily welcome him, while it feelingly tak.-s leave of Uosecrans. The public, too, will gladly acquiesce iu this part of the action of the Var Depai Iment ; for where a man holding the highest military rani; in the army so regulate:', his advancement, and promotion that, at tho end of two years ol active warfare, he lights n terrible battle, saves an army, is r.-eognizeel as a hi To, and the serpent of jealousy does not hiss at him, the public wish to sec more of him and to see him more trusted ahd honor ed, ton. Thomas is such a man, and, strange to say, ha gone through this was without apparently exciting the envy or jealousy of a .ingle fellow ollieer; and hi character stands to-day as free from :dui:i as th.it of any man who has made his appearance in this war. Iiiioi-;inl .lleilicul !i.co ery . A London correspondent of the Li'oi . gives this account : "A great discovery is just now engaging ' the attention of the scientific and medical world. Few Ihiglidi names are more fa miliar to Americans than licit of Di. John Chapman, once the lending publisher ol In retical books, now editor of the ir -f,iV .-'(', and always a devotee of science and medicine. He is well aeqm.inteil with many scientific and literary Americans ; and many of them, among-1 others Mr. Fmcrson, have re ided in his bouse when in Pnokind. This Dr. Chapman has been for years engaged in studies uud experiments connected with the nervous system alone, with such men as Dr. llrowu Sequard and Claude Bernard of Pari. For the pu-t. year lie has been prov ing a tremendous discovery namely the cure of epilepsy, und many diseases hitherto deemed incurable, by means of the externa! application of ice iim I hot water, in India rubber fags, nt various put ts of the spinal cord, ii.-ling thus upon the sympathetic nerve, and thriuigh it upon the most impor tant and itul region of the body. Many eminent physicians have nrrcompauied Dr. Vln'pman to see the marvels which he had brought upon patients who had long ego despaired of hi.illh. Some physicians, amongst others Dr. Wilkinson (though a homo opathist I, have so recognizee! the im portance of the discovery as to commit to Dr. Chapman's cure some of tie ir patients. Cases are attested where a man for six years had three fits ( on an average) daily, a girl who had two from the ages .d thirteen to seventeen, had been entirely cured by ice. Just as wonderful have been the cures of para!y-is. Many of the worst and most inveterate female diseases have yielded to the new jure. 'I'he treatini nt is as simple a it is grand. Any one who is troubled by the pressure of blood on the brain w'll find that, by holding a bug of ice on the nape of the neck ten minute, all equable flow of blood can be secured. 'I'ho-e w iio ale troubled with habitual cold feet may find relief by applying iee to the small of the back in the litmb.ir region. It is hard to estimate the inipoi tam e of this discovery, which will ere long be ranked by the sideof that "f .leiiner.

It is a fact not generally known, And on which should moderate a little our trans ports over the new-found perfections of our hitherto neglected rilled guns, that the three hundred pounder Parmtn have proved a failure. The Pittsburg tiazcltn has. from time te time, argued that, though far superi or to the monster smooth bores, the large sizes of lirri'.lt's guns were essentially de fective; since the requisite strength for the charge of powder they should have, could not he. obtained by the plan (which is all there '. of the Parrott gun.) of shrinking a wrought iron band over the breech of the ca.,t iron gun ; and that the only material that would be found capable of 'bearing the heavy strain required to develop the" full capacity of rilled guns, were wrought iron or steel. That lesson, too, since the late revolution in their department, the ordnance ollieers have learnt. Headers have doubtless noticed .1 recent tlii eh staling that the gun which lircd (ireek lire shells into Charleston, was n two hundred pounder. Fiveol the Parrott rilled three hundred pounders were sent to lien, (iillmore, and every one of them butsteel all but one at the first trial! Of course they could be fixed as the I )ahlgren smooth bores were so long, w ith half charges "f powder, but the Parrott guns have no nccil of such subterfuges. I'p to SllU-pnunders they have provcel a success, it is no discredit to their plan that, beyond that sive, the strain is too great for a cast-iron barrel, no matter how heavily reinforce with a w rought-hoii band.
