I FELL Di THE LOOK.—During the fire Monday night, on the opposite side of the canal, a colored boy fell headforemost Into the Penn lock, at the foot of Walnut street. The alarm was quickly given, a light procured, and the boy was finally fished out by means of a lad der suspended over the aide of the lock. Pao. ANDBRSON.—Brant's Hall was filled to overflowing last night by an intelligent audi ence to witness the prestidigitator) , feats of Prof. Anderson—the renowned " Wizzard of the North." some of the Professors's tricks were really astonishing and incomprehensable. He performs again this afternoon at 27 o'clock I and this evening, and we invite all fond of the marvellous to be on hand. "Orrxoxrrn Wass AGAM."—Lient. Charles O'Neill, of Lancaster, who came here with the remains of Col. Murray, left to join his regi ment at Berryville, in the neighborhood of Winchester, Virginia, on Monday. He carries with him the heartfelt wishes of all his friends for a safe and speedy return to the comforts and enjoyments of home. "Lovas or Bomm."—Oar milliners had their Hpening days" last week, and their sprigg styles are now before the public. The difference detween the bonnets of this and last spring is about the same as the difference between tweedlednm and tweedladee. The peak may be a little higher, and the trimming less volu minous, but aside from this the old and new fashions might be sold together, side by aide, and no one be the wiser. Clanatnary.--Bailors are suppose to be the most adept at "spinning long yams," bug gar rulous old men, recounting to each other the exploits of their youth, will furnish stories which even the marines would find it difficult to believe. They feel a little proud of their in discretions in .their young days, and chuckle together over a successful escapade or a reck less trick all the more if it is dashed with a little spice of wickedness. They do not assert that they used to be considered sad rakes, Uut if one chooses to draw such an inference from their stories, it is not their fault, of course, if they are misunderstood. Shallow—Ha, cousin Silence, that thou had seen that, that this knight and I have seen ! Ha, Sir John, said I well ? i'aistaff—We have heard the charms at mid night, Master Shallow. fft!lM Tea Itonsays' INFAXTIVr.—It seems that the picket guard, (comprising an entire company,) noticed in recent telegraphic dispatches as hav ing been surrounded by the rebels on Little Edisto Island, S. C., belonged to the 55th Penn sylvania, and not to the 58th Pennsylvania, as inadvertently stated in yesterday's Tans. GLUM As the "Roberts' Infantry," Captain 1. 6. Waterbury, of this : city, is attached to the 55th, and as it was known to be located on that island, serious fears were entertained that it was this company that had met with the disaster. To quiet the fears of the friends of the com pany in this respect, we append the following extract from the New York Tribune's special correspondent at Hilton Head, which gives the full particulars of the surprise of the picket guard, as well as the part acted in the affair by Capt. Waterbury: An attack has been made by the rebels upon a portion of the forces stationed at North Eder-, to. Information was conveyed to the rebels of he position occupied by three companies of the 66th Pennsylvania, and their capture was at tempted by three battalions, each five hundred strong, moving simultaneously last Saturday morning, at daybreak, upon their separate po sitions. It happened that two companies had moved their camps the day before, and the two rebel battalions in search of them were obliged to retire, having effJcted nothing.— The third was less fortunate. Thirty men, of company F, Captain Bennett, under command of !their first lieutenant, were at Hanna han's plantation, on Little Edisto, separated from the large island and the main force by a creek, the bridge over which was destroyed by ; the rebels, and their retreat completely cut off Tula insignificant force, thus attacked by five hundred rebels, maintained a desperate de fence for an hour,falling back toward the bridge, of whose destruction they ,were unaware, avail ing themselves of the inequalities of the ground as a cover, and partially screened by the thick fog, through which, however, the flashes of their guns betrayed them to the enemy. They steadily maintained this unequal conflict until, when, within a hundred yards of the bridge, their ammunition gave out and no other de ft nce was possible. Still, they would not sur surrender, but t throwing their muskets into the river,sought refuge in tniokets along the banks. Five men escaped by swimming, anti:were af ter Wards picked np by one of the Crusader's boats. Five are known to have . been killed during the fight. The remaining twenty, some of them wounded, are missing, and undoubt edly prisoners. The rebel plans included also the capture of Col. White of the 65th Pennsylvania. He had moved his tit adquarters, like the two COalranies, only the day before, and the rebels, In their advance, passed unawares by the house in waich he and his adjutant and quartermas 7 ter were sleeping. At the other 1201166 they found Capt. Waterbury's company, which had been roused by the firing at Hannaham's drawn up in line of battle to receive them, and 45 they had contemplated only a surprise, and w ere not at all eager for a fight, and only numbered about ten to one, they hastily with- II tow. In the house occupied by the thirty, a sick man was left in the upper room, and, un discovered by the rebel% he heard the address of the rebel leader to his men before the attack. The rebel flag was afterward hoisted on the house, but remained only a few min- utes, their force withdrawing to Jehorse Island and making no effort to hold the ground. In this connection we append a few extracts from private letters received by the last mail from members of the Roberts' Infantry, dated Camp Roberts, Edisto Island, March 27,1862 One writer says : " Hooper, Lieut. Weaver and 'lnnis is out on picket to-night. We have it hard now. Every other night we have to go ont on picket, and the rebel pickets are on the same Island. They come from the main• land. We are going to have some fun to-mor row. Will give them fits and shove them off the Island. It is too pretty a place for them to stay on, and we want it ourselves, that is if they don't make na git. We shall, however, give them the best we have got in the shape of our Springfield rifles, which are in good order and ready for a crack at them." Another writer says : " Our regiment is pretty well scattered now over Edisto Island, all doing picket duty, which is not the pleasantest thing in the world, especially here, as we are generally posted in a swamp, and you have no idea of the voraciousnes- of the mosquitoes in this neighborhood. We have had an alarm nearly every night since we ' game here. - The within three 'hundred 'Sidi - of a rebel picket. Pennsylvania Many Zelegraph, Ipril 9, 1861.
