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.) Charleston, with so,
many thousand stand of tinns on board.
Thc'niack-eycd lisan had been sunk by the,
I'nited Slates gunboat Slopcr no, she had
only received four round s-lud in her httU,
and had escaped among the sand-keys. YYho
had insured the Delight '. 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.

''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

(tcncrul l'osecrans leaves his army ti most
popular commander, despite the late failure
on his part. He understood thoroughly a
certain system lor which I cannot find an
expressive name by which to gain the
ali'cction of his troops. He never passed
a regiment without having ti pleasant word
for the men. lie chatted freely and even
jocularly with them, lie blamed the officers
for everything the men for nothing. 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. There is no boisterous
laughter ever hear. I about his headquarters.
His sta'1' is small smaller, perhaps, than
eeu P.itcll's used lobe; but ho has about
l.i::i working null like himself. 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.

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. Several Im-pitals are til
ready under Dr. Chapman's practice, and, a
Vet no one can biing forward an instance of
failure."

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.
For the largc-t calibres it now seems as
if we would tall back en the Ames' wrought
iron gun, or on Wiard's steel guns. H ovA

ury, Hon. L. K. Chitteiulon, said that, while
Northern Copperheads were predicting bank
ruptcy and ruin in our monetary iill'a'irs, for
eign eapit-dists were only loo anxious to in
vest in government securities. Yesterday
three hundred and fifty thousand dollau
worth of United States bonds were issued
to foreign brokers, nt-d (Joveinment has
"lotiey now on hand with which to pay the
entire army for the 41.011th of November,
which moifv was furnished bv foreign cap
italists. The 'C.'.lifortiia people are better acquaint
ed with the Celestial method, of talking and
writing Anglo-Saxon. We extract the fol
lowing specimen from the San Francisco
v.'-;-.;-, which introduces it thus :
"We this morning rceiv-M a piece of
Chinese composition a genuine valentine -
sent, by a rich Chinaman named Ah Cliong
to Hi Sing, a beautiful (ahem') child of the
Flowery Kingdom, who w;..'. so proud of

A wt.stkiin journal pokes the following
fun, cr pun, at our copperhead neighbors :
I The "1 Jcmocruts" of Pennsylvania tell
the Unionists not to shout until they get,
, out of the woods. The Unionists are pietty
j Well out of tho woods now, but the Ih'inu-
crats have not been heard from since the day
I of the election, when they ran ll ooi ii-iin as
I hard us they could.
The name of I'nuigh, the successful can
didate f.r ('jvcriior of Ohio, is pronounced
'"",.'' The copperheads w ill see, therefore,
that it rhyiuea with though, rough und
eu iiigh.
Singing is a great institution. It oils tho
wheels of care supplies the place of sun
shine. A man who sings has a good heart,
under his shirt front. Such a man not only
works 'more willingly, but he works nuuo
constantly. A singing cobbler will cam
twice as much money as a colder who gins
way to low spirits and indigestion. Avail
ciotii men never sing. The man who at
tacks singing throws a stone at the head of
hilarity, and would, if he could, rob .Juno
of i'.s roses, or August of its meadow larks.
A M ono about dying wa told by his
minisler that he must foreive a certain
darkey against w hom he seemed to entcrlaiu
Vt IV hitter feeling. "Yes, Vis," lie replied,
"if I dies I forgive ilat nigga: but if I gits
well, dat liigga UUI-I take car.''
