A Learned Workingman.
As an instrucOve example, of what it is in
the power of workingmen to do to educate
themselves, and as furnishing . an extraordinary
instance of the 'piirsuit and acquisition of knowl
edge under difficulties, we give the following
brief sketch of the life of Mr. J. A. Langford, a
workingman of Birmingham, and the author of
numerous instructive works. Mr. Langford,
though now holding the position of Secretary
to the Aston Hall Park Company, in the above
named town, has until within the last two or
three years, and up to the time when his tal
ents and acquirements 'secured for him his
present situation, worked as a chairmaker and
printer, he, in addition to all his other know
ledge, having learned both trades.
He was born in Birmingham in the year
1823, his father being a chairman there in very
humble circumstances. At the age of ten, when
he had barely learned to read and write, the ne
cessities of his parents compelled them to with
draw him from school, and put him to work to
assist in maintaining the family. He was ap
prenticed to his father's trade, the regular hours
of work at it being from 5 A. M., to 7 P. M.—
But, like many other sons of genius in the same
condition, he was even at that early age pus
se,sed with an unquenchable thirst for knowl
edge and he resolved, since he could not hope
for assistance from others, to use his utmost ef
forts to educate himself.
For this purpose he resolutely denied himself
all the little luxuries which are so attractive to
the young, and many of the necessities of hie
as well, that he might have the wherewithal to
purchase the necessary books, and it hardly re
quires to be told that it was by no means so
easy for a poor youth to purchase, or otherwise
procure books twenty years ago as it is now.
To enable him to do this more effectually, it
was his practice,
during the whole period of his
apprenticeship, to work over time, from seven
till eleven at night, alter which he engaged in
study till two in the morning, leaving itiniselt
only two er three hours for sleep. And so he
Went on for years with unfaltering perseverance
and determination, making himself thoroughly
acquainted with the English language and lit
erature.
As soon as this was accomplished he turned
his attention to languages, and after two or
three years of hard toil and diligent and unre
miting study, and still without any assistance
but what was derived froni books, succeeded in
mastering Latin, French and German. He
also, shortly after the expiry of his apprentice
ship to his father's trade, learned that of a
printer, one offering great opportunities of ac
quiring knowledge, at which tie worked for five
years, and tillhe obtained the situation he now
holds. Still as ardent as ever in the pursuit of
knowledge, he is at present engaged in the study
of Spanish and Italian, and has made great pro
gress in acquiring these languages.
Federal Accounts from Fort Pickens
The following,. from the New York papers of
yesterday, is not so late as the telegraphic
report from Norfolk. But it is interesting, as
giving-an account of affairs at Fort .Vickei..s, up.
to the 18th inst :
The steamer George Peabody arrived at this
port about 7 o'clock last evening, having left
Fort. Pickens on the morning of the 18th, and
Key West on the following W,.dnesday.
The following is the list tit passengers : Capt.
Guest of the U. S. steamer Niagara; Cep 6.
J. W. Butler,
Fort Pickens ; Lieut. Clapp and
Lieut. Black, of the Sixth regiment, N. Y. S
V.; Lieut. Hall, wife, child and nurse, from
Key West.
Colonel Wilson's men were generally in good
health. Only twenty-live of them were iu the
hospital at the time the George Peabody left.
The rebels had landed between three and tour
thousand troops on Deer Point, which is six
miles from Fort Pickens, and one and a halt
trifles from Santa Rosa island. A deserter re
ported that they intended to make an attack on
the fort in a week or ten days. Cul. Brown
wes prepared to give them a warm reception.
There is a great deficiency of regu ar officers
at this post. Scarcely one officer remains to a
company. They are dissatisfied with the treat
ment they have received from government, in
asmuch as they had been appointed to take the
places of others, who are now on duty in and
around Washington, and thereby deprived of
all the advantages attendant upon a field cam-.
paign.
The United States frigate Niagara and the
new gunboat Hatteras were at Fort Pickens.
The ship romper°, the sloop-of-war Midnight
and the G. W. Anderson, were at Key West.
The latter had captured off the BahamaS the
privateer Beauregard,• a fore-and-aft schooner,
-mounting one large pivot gun, and carrying 27
men. The steamers Huntress and Connecticut
were also at Key West. The Connecticut had
captured a prize sehOoner loaded with lead,
quicksilver and coffee. She was to leave for
Fort Pickens that evening.
The schooner Wanderer, of the blockading
fleet, arrived on the 20th and left on the fol
lowing day. Everything was quiet. The
George Peabody also brings three privates of
COL Wilson's regiment. Their names are Jas.
T. Roberts, James H. Ackerman and Henry
Albert. They were discharged on account of
ill-health. •

OUR VICTORY SUPPOSED TO BE DECISIVE
WASHINGTON, Nov, 26.—Assistant Secretary
Fox has received a dispatch from Baltimore,
stating that the Norfolk Day Book publishes
advices from Richmond, to the effect that an
engagement was going on at Pensacola.
Parties who read the paper say that it states
that the frigates Niagara and Colorado had en
gaged Fort Mcßae and that the Fort briskly
returned the fire ; and further that the vessels,
being damaged, were compelled to haul off.
The Day Book adds that Fort Pickins was
firing on the Pensacola Navy Yard.
Another dispatch says the fight commenced.
on Saturday, and was in progress on Sunday.
Fort Pickens, by firing hot shot, had set the
Pensacola Navy Yard on fire three times, but
the rebels managed up to the latter day, to ex
tinguish the flames. They had not, however,
been able to suppress those of the burning town
of Warrington, which the hot shot had utterly
destroyed.
It was thought at Old Point that our victory
was decisive
