Gen. Scott's late staff have been thus provided for : Col. Collum to be attached to Gen. Halleck's Staff, with the rank of Brigadier-General. Col. Van Rensselaer to be Inspector General, in place of Col. Scott, lately retired. Col. Hamilton has been in vited to a position on McClellan's Staff. He has a prior invitation from Major General Butler, He has. not yet determined which he will ac cept, but it is probable he will deter mine in favor of the position tendered him by General McClellan. Major Wright will join his regiment, and enter upon active service in the field. General McClellan hail issued an or der that the passes given by General Scott shall be honored hereafter until further orders, the same as before Lis resignation. A Aebel Fight. A fight occurred in Beauregard's army the other day, between the Border Guards and the Wise Artillery, when a number were wounded, including Captain John Q. A. Nandenbush, of the Berkely Guards, and Captain E. G. Albertis, of the Wise Artillery. The fracas arose in conse quence of a woman named Belle Boyd, re fusing to sell a bottle of whisky to a sol dier. She demanded two dollars for a pint bottle ; soldier offered one ; Mrs. Boyd refused to sell ; soldier seized bottle ; woman drew knife ; soldier did the same ; Wise Artillery interfered in behalf of woman, and Border Guards Artillery for soldier. It was a fierce conflict, and was only ended by the interference of general officers. Twenty or thirty were badly wounded. The Intervention Against Mexico. It is stated that the combined fleet of England, France and Spain, against Mexi co, will carry 2000 guns, Spain alone con tributing 600. Mexico, one of the weak est powers in existence, must feel a deep debt of gratitude for the manifest interest taken by these three nations in her gov ernment. Itis not acquisition of territory, but restoration of order which induces them to send an armed pollee of this kind to her chief ports. Dubow of hisonea.

Anecdotes of Stephen Girard. A paper read by Dr. W. M. Cornell, at the last meeting of the New England H is toric-Genealog ical Society, in Boston, gave the following interesting anecdotes of Stephen Girard : Stephen Girard was the sole judge of his beneficence. If rightly approached, he would give largely; but if dictated to or treated rudely he would not give at all. Sam'l Coates, one of the old Friends, knew how to manage Girard, while many who sought aid from him were unsuccessful.— Mr. Coates was one of the managers of the "Pennsylvania Hospital," which was then much in want of funds. He under took to get a donation from Mr. Girard, and meeting him in the street, stated his object. Mr. Girard asked him to come to him the next morning. Mr. Coates called, and found Girard at breakfast. He asked him to take some, which Mr. Coates did. After breakfast, Mr. Coates, said. "Well, Mr. Girard, we will proceed to business." "Well what have you come for, Samuel?" said Mr. Girard. "Just what thee pleases, Stephen," replied Mr. Coates. Girard drew a check for $2,000, which Mr. Coates put in his pocket without looking at it.— "What 1 you don't look at the check I gave OW" said Mr. Girard. "No, beg gars must not be choosers, Stephen," said Mr. Coates. "Hand me back again the check I gave you," demanded Girard.— "No, no, Stephen—a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," said Mr. Coates. "I declare!" said Girard, "you have got me on the footing." He then drew a check for $5,000, and presented it to Mr. Coates, observing, "Will you now look at it?" "Well, to please thee, Stephen, I will," said Mr. Coates. "Now give me back the first check," demanded Mr. Gi rard—which was accordingly done. The Rev. Dr. Stoughton, an eminent Baptist minister of Philadelphia, did not understand Mr. Girard so well as Mr. Coates did. When they were about build ing their meeting-house in Sansom street, Dr. Stoughton called on Mr. Girard for aid. Girard .received him, as he usually did beggars, coolly but. courteously, and gave him a check for $5OO. Dr. Stough ton received it with a low bow; but, upon examining it, expressed his astonishment, adding, "only $5OOl Surely you will not give us less than $1,000." "Let me see the check, Mr. Stoughton," said Gi rard, "perhaps I have made one mistake." The Doctor returned the check. With the utmost sang froid Girard' tore it into frag ments, observing, "Well, Mr. Stoughton, if you will not hare what I give, I will give nothing." The Doctor left him ex ceedingly mortified. The Methodists wished to build a church in Tenth street, just north of Chestnut.— Thomas Haskins, a merchant, and b neighbor of Girard, called on him, and urged his suit for aid in very modest terms. Girard replied, approve of your object," r.nd presented him a check for $5OO. The Methodist Society failed, and the house was bought by the Epi%o palians, who wished to alter it into the splendid Gothic house, now called St. Stephen's church. A committee waited upon Mr. Girard, told him their plan, and asked his aid. He gave them a check for $5OO. They were disappointed, and said : "Why you gave the Methodists $3OO for their little church, and we are going to build a more splendid edifice, and bluely you will give us something comporting with the grandeur of our design. Havc you not omitted a cipher?" They return ed the check, asking him to make it $5,000. Girard tore it iu pieces, and a& ed: "I will not give you one cent. You society is rich—the Methodists are poor. You remind me of the rich man in the gospel. He would pull down and build greater. Profit by his fete, gentlemen. I have nothing to give for your splendid church." An old Quaker related to me the follow ing: L. man who had just set up in th - hardware business, and who had been clerk where Girard had traded, applied t. him for a share of his patronage. Girard bought of him, and when he brought in the bill, found fault, and marked down the prices. "Casks of nails,"aaid he, "which I was offered so and so, you have charged so and so, and you must take it off." "I can't do it," said the young merchant.— "You moat do it." said Girard. "I can not and will not," said the merchant.— Girard bolted out of the door, apparently in a rage, but soon after sent a check for the whole bill. The young man began to relent, and say to himself, "perhaps he was offered them at that price. But it ie all over now; I am sorry I did not reduce the bill, and get it out of him on some thing else. His trade would have been worth a great deal to me." By and by Girard came again and gave him another job. The young man was very courteous, and said, "I was almost sorry I did not re duce your former bill." "Reduce a bill!" said Girard, "had you done it, I would never have traded with you again. I meant to see if you had cheated mi.": , :ft , h(0141014.04 The Boot-Black : A Story for Boys. About a hundred years ago, there lived in the city of Oxford, England, a boy whose name was George. He was very poor, so much so that he was compelled to clean the boots of the students at the University to obtain money with which to buy the necessaries of life. His countenance was of no ordinary appearance. His eye was keen and piercing ; his forehead noble and lofty ; and every feature of his face was perfectly developed. By his easy and po lite manners, his obliging disposition, and his warm and generous nature, he soon won the confidence and esteem of many . those upon whom he waited. The poverty of clothing served better to show the rich ness of a mind, which needed only cultiva tion to make it one of the brightest in tl whole country. The students of the Uni versity, seeing such noble qualities in the lowly and humble boot-black, determined to educate him ; and many of them devoted no little share of time to that purpose. They found him ready, willing, and studious.— He lost not a moment of his precious time; but applied himself dilligently, persever ingly, to his studies, and soon became an equal,- if not a superior to some of his i; structors. His advance in merit was very rapid ; great Virat? it, that numbers were unable to recognize in the gifted and talented your man the once, poor and needy boot-blac About this time there was a great Chan; in the religion of England. There art a sect, which from the peculiar habits its members, their strict observance of tl Sabbath, their faithful reading of God', word, their frequent and stated engage merits is prayer, was called Methodist.— W ith this party George immediately con nected himself, and soon became one of the ablest and most consistent members.- 1 no youths who once sought his company, now treated him with sneering contempt. Those wLo once considered him a young man of extraordinary abilities, then thought him a reckless fanatic, arid avoid ed his no,'ety es, they did that of a worth less drunkard. All this did not wove him. He was as firm as r. rock. Nothing could change Lim. Like Moses, he preferred a life of Christian consistency to the enjoy ment of sin for a season. His unchang ing conduct won for him many %Lim and ardent admirete, r.nd numbers who form erly branded him as a fanatic became his best friends. I have not time, children, to say more concerning the character of this interesting young man. It will be sufficient to add, that he soon became one the most pious and talented preachers in England, and such numbers flocked to hear him that the largest house in London could not contain them. Ile preached in the open fields to thous ands upon thousands; and the great amount of good which he did, eternity shall tell. Dear boys, do not mina the sneers of your companions. Do your - duty, let the consequences be what they may.— Be industrious, energetic. Don't mind difficulties. They only make your arm stronger, your heart braver. If this poor bOy could arise from the lowly position of a boot-black to that of one of the most pious and eloquent preachers England ever produced, cannot you go and "do likeK lee 1" You have no idea what you can do till you try. Energy, combined ith earnest prayer, will accomplish the most difficult task. Boys, would yon like to know the name of the boy who blacked the boots of the students at Oxford University? It is GEOILGE WHITErIELD.— Christian Treasury. "Do you see this lock of hair ?" said an odd man to me. '''"Yes ; but what of it.? It is I suppose, the curl from the head of a dear child long since gone to God." "It is not. It is a lock of my own hair; and it is now nearly seventy years since it was cut from this head." "But why do you prize a lock of your hair so much 7" "It has a story belonging to it, and a strange one. • I keep it thus with care be cause it speaks to me more of God and of his special care than anything else 1 pos sess." "I was a little child of four years old, with long, curly locks, which, in sun, or rain, or wind, hung down my cheeks un covered. One day my father went into the woods to cut up a log, and I went with him. I was standing a little way be hiod.hisa, .or mother at his side, watching with interest Oro strokes of the heavy axe, as 4t went up , and came down upon the wood, seliiNldbiroff splinters with every stroke, in all directions. Some of the inters fell at my feet, and I eagerly stooped to pick 'them up. In doing so I :tumbled forward, and in a moment my urly head lay upon the log. I had fallen lust at the moment the axe was coming down with all its force. It was too late to stop the blow. Down came the axe. I screamed, and my father fell to the ground in terror. He could not stay the stroke, and the blindness which the sudden horror caused, he thought he had killed his boy. We soon recovered. I from my fright, and he from his terror. He caught me in his arms and looked at me from head to foot, to find out the deadly wound which he was sure he had inflicted. Not a drop of blood nor a scar was to be seen. He knelt upon the grass and gave thanks to a gracious God. Having done so, he took up the axe and found a few hairs upon its edge. He turned to the log he had been splitting, and there was a single url of his boy's hair, sharply cut through nd laid upon the wood. How great the pet It was as if an angel had turned .ide the edge at the moment when it was tending on my head. With renewed hanks upon his lips he took up the curl, nd went home with me In his arms.

The negro prison er was an object of no little curiosity, and he seemed quite uneasy. He says his name is Lewis A. Bell, and that he was free in the District of Columbia; but some of our citizens thought they had seen him before, and it is very probable that he is what the Yankees term a " contra band." The guard, commanded by Capt. O'Neil, of Georgia, formed a square, and, with the captives in the centre, marched down Broad to 19th, thence to Main, and down Main to 25th street, followed by an immense mul titude of persons. After some little delay, the prisoners were marched into Mayo's factory corner of 25th and Cary streets, where they will have ample opportunity for reflect ing upon the uncertainties of war.— The occupants of another prison in the neighborhood crowded the win dows to get a view of this large rein forcement, but the spectacle did not seem to afford them much gratifica tion. The special train in the morning I brought information that another lot of the Leesburg prisoners were be hind, and preparations were accord ingly made to receive them. The mail train arrived at a quarter past four o'clock, with three cars full of Yankees, numbering 132, 2 of whom ; were commissioned officers—Capt.; G. W. Rockwood, of the 15th Massa-1 chusetts, and Lieut. Charles M'Pher son, of the Tammany Regiment, of New York. The crowd about the depot conversed freely with the prisoners, but no rudeness was ex hibited towards them. They were very soon marched off to the factory to join their comrades in captivity. There has been about thirty-four bodies in all of soldiers who met their death at the battle of Ball's Bluff, picked up is the Potomac between the Chain Bridge, three miles West of Georgetown, and Fort Waskingtoa, a few miles below Alexandria. airseveSeuttovieS.An• 4:41, FresckaaristLia iiaaakmatelmeit bravery and admits, raised ibilisaikharriss tb4 4 11 9 4 01.44Saysiskeit 01001401W+Thvi tomiewirismpttrecni aiir 11611111114 111111114101.1.1111thaikliii4016 0111001101 "`' NEW SERIES.--VOL. 3, NO. 24. Anecdote of Edmund Kean. Mr. Howard Paul, who is the Lone don correspondent of the New York Illustrated News, relates, in a recent letter, the following anecdote : Mr. Lewis, who has been connected with Drury Lane for many years , toad me a characteristic anecdote of Ed mund Kean, which has never appear ed in print, and which you shall have. It seems that the great tragedian and Charles Incledon, the popular singer, were one day walking in Bond street, when they were met by Lord Essex, who bowed distantly to Kean, albeit they were on terms of intimate friendship. The o next day Kean found a note at the theatre from my lord, desiring him to call at his house. He went, and, contrary to the usual custom, was ushered into the library, where Lord ,sex ire ceived him. The usual foMnalities over, the nobleman said to the trage dian, "My dear Kean, you will par don me. You know how greatly I admire your genius, but I was star tled yesterday on seeing you on promenade, arm in arm, with that singing man, Incledon." "My Lord," said Kean, with flashing eye, "Pray, don't excite yourself—now don't, my dear Kean," pursued my lord; "but . the respect—l may say reverence—l bear for your wonderful genius prompts me to this explanation."— "Lord Essex !" cried Kean, rising, drawing himself up, and mating withering glance at his noble pa tron, "twelve years ago my family were in want of bread; Charles Incle don, my friend, supplied the means to procure it, and when Edmund Kean forgets his friends may God for get him !" And from that hour tie two men never exchanged courts.. . sies.
