The writer makes no pretension toi literary ability, but having often witnessed the good effect of an amusing story among children, con cludes that the following might add to their enjoyment A Story for Little Ones. Once upon a time (all orthodox tales com mence in this manner) there were three bears, who lived in a nice house in the "'foods. Ode was called the "Great Huge Boar," another the "Middle Sized " Bear, laud the third the "Little Wee Bear." One day this happy family took a walk and forgot to look tite,Coor ; soon a , little girl named Silver Hair came by and seeing tlo door open she walked in and being very tired sat down in the "Great Huge Bear's" chair, but it was too large; so she tried the "Middle Sized Bear's" chair, but it was too low; so she sat down in the "Little Wee Bear's" chair and it just suited her. So she sat there till the bottom came out. Then she saw three kettles of porrige on the fire, she tasted the "Great Huge Bear's" but it burnt her, next she tried the "Middle Sized Bear's," and it. proved too cold, and lastly she tried the "Little Wee Bear's' and it was just right, so she ate it all up. Feeling quite tired by her efforts she thought she would lie down, so she werit ap stairs, but the "Great Inge Bear's" bed was too high, and the "Middle Sized Bear's" too low but the "Little Wee Bear's" was very comfortable, so she lay down and soon was fast asleep. ',After while the Bears came home. Some body's been in my cluiir, said the Great - Huge Bear," (in a very deep voice.) "Some bOdy's been in my chair," said the "Middle Sized Bear"( voice not so deep.) Some. body's been in my chair, and set the bottom out said the Little "Wee Bear," (in a thin Squeaky voice.) Supper time was near, the Bears went to their porrige, when the "Great Huge Bear" said "somebody's been in my por rige," then the "Middle Sized Bear," sung out 3 'somebody's been in my porrige," then 'the "Little Wee Bear' said "somebody's been in my porrige'and eat—it—all—up. ' Then they went up etaire,and the "Great Huge Bear" said "somebody's been in my bed," - and the "Middle Sized Bear" said "somebody's been in my bed," just then the "Little Wee Bear" cried out in amaze ment, "Here is the Somebody in my bed fast asleep," and they all ran to see who it was, but the noise they made woke her up and she was so frightened at seeing the Bears she jumped out of the window, and has not been heard of since. When Parson Brownlow will Join the Demooraoy. The recent visit of Parson Brownlow to vari ous parts of the free states, and the fact that he so very lately passed through this city, brings to recollection the following "stunner," which travelled the rounds of the press in 1860, An Arkansas correspondent, who probably de sired to "waken np" the Parson, wrote to him stating that he had learned with pleasure "thai Brownlow had espoused the principles and had' also attached himself to the organization of the Democratic party." The Arkansas Democrat was delighted with what he considered so distin guished,a prbselyte, and therefore wrote to the Parson for Information as to the probable date of his conversion. Mr. Brownlow kindly furnished the date, or at least the data for that interesting occurrence in the following characteristic letter. As we wrote above, this letter has already been published in our columns, but its republication now will be acceptable and instructive to our readers: "113=u:um, August 6, 1860 "Mr. Jordan Clark—l have your letter of the 80th ult., and hasten to let you know the precise time when I expect to come oat and for mally announce that I have joined the Demo cratic partY. When the sun shines at midnight and •the moon at midday—when man forgets to be •selfish, or Democrats lose their inclination to steal—when nature stops her onward march, 1 to rest, or all the water-courses in America flow up stream—when flowers lose their odor and trees shed no leaves—when birds talk and beasts of burden laugh—when damned spirits swap hell tor heaven, with the angels of light, and pay them the boot in mean whisky—when impossibilities are in fashion, and no proposition is too absurd to be believed, you may credit the report that I have joined the Democrats. join the Democrats! Never, so long as there are sects in churches—weeds in gardens—fleas in hog pens—dirt in victuals—disputes in fami lies—wars with nations—water in the ocean— bad men in America, or base women in France. No, Jordan Clark, you may hope—you may congratulate—you may reason—you may sneer —but that cannot be.

THE COST OF A SIXGE.—The siege of Sa bastopol commenced in October, 1854, and ended by the reduction of the south aide of theeity in September, 1855--eleven months , The French started with sixty pieces of cannon,supposing these to be sufficient. The allies employed 2587 cannon, for whickt were served 2,381, 942 shot and shoji, and 11,484,804 pounds of powder ' exclu sive of what was used by the fleet on the day on which they assisted in the bombard ment. The fleets mounted 2156 guns, half of which were brought to bear on the forti fications Alexander and umatantine, and the quarantine and cliff batteries, mounting 261 guns, 200 of which were brought to bear on the squadron: The bombardment lasted five hours and a half, and 968,680 shot and shell were used. For the infantry of the French army there was provided 61,- 606,869 musket cartridges. The artillery constructed 118 batteries, requiring 800,000 sand-bags, and 50,000 gabions. The engi neer department constructed 593( miles of entrenchments, requiring 80,000 gabions, 60,000 fascines, and nearly 1,000,000 sand bags, besides 1,251 metres of mining gal leries, some of which. were 50 feet below the surface. The French transported to the Urimia 309,268 men, and 41,974 horses and mules, of the men they: lost 69,229 by sick ness and cauanal ties. The reader can make his own calculations as to the number and tonnage of vessels it would require to transport the men, horses, guns, . &c. How THB REBELS A= OWEN TO EXE.GHKRATION! —The Huntsville Democrat, of the 9th, in re ferring to the battle at Pittsburg Landing, says: Skirmishing occurred on Friday and Satur day, and a general engagement began at Shiloh, near Monterey, five or six miles from the Ten nessee river, and about the same didance from the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, about five o'clock, A. M., Sunday, and lasted till. dark. Our troops began the attack, and are represent ed to have driven the enemy from their rifle pits and earth works at the first charge. One account says, we drove them across the river—another says, to their transports under cover of their boats—capturing 88 cannon, all their camp equipage, commissary stores,a large quantity of ammunition and arms, and 6,000 prisoners. On Monday morning the fight' was resumed, and continued until 11 o'clock at night, the enemy having been reinforced by Gen. Baell's army, which crossed the river on Sunday night. Our troops attacked the enemy as vigorously as on Sunday, and drove them twice to the cover of their gun-bouts, with great slaughter. The number of Federal prisoners is variously stated from 6,000 - or 8,000 to 15,000 or 20,000. Several thousand< were sent oft to Grenada, Columbus, &c., Miss., and Tuscaloosa, Ala. One account is, that we captured all, another says nearly all, the enemy's cannon and 8,000 stand of muskets and rifles. Ors of liTlellan's soldiers, on the Yorktown expedition, tried to buy a pie at a house which the troops passed on their march. The people were astonished, and 'exclaimed, "What! a pie, and molasses $b per gallon !" The blockade in that vicinity does not seem , to have been a paper one and no doubt the same is the case elsewhere ; this cry of "paper blockade," is in a great measure, got up by 'that class who croak at everything. =lth Oongress—First Session: WesrataroN, April 25 SENATE. Mr. SmourAN, (Chio,) presented the resolutions of the Legislature of Ohio concerning the rebel prisoners at Columbus, saying that the feelings of the loyal people of Ohio were out raged by the fact that the rebel prisoners , at Camp Ch i ase, were allowed to retain their slaves by Col. Woody, thus practically estab lishing slavery in Ohio and in the name of the people of Ohio solemnly protesting against this outrage on the loyalty of the people. The resolutions were accompanied by a note from Gov. Tod,-saying that Col.'Moody did riot permit this state of affairs ; that the slaves were sent there as prisoners, and Moody was obliged to take care of them. Mr. Sueamax said the fact wee the neg,roes were sent there with their masters as prisoners, and did serve their masters, but he believed no blame could be attached. to Gal.

Commodore Foote, owing to the wound re osived in the battle at Fort Henry, has asked to be relieved from command of the Western fleet, but the Department has, it is understood, ordered Capt. Chas. H. Davis to repair to the squadron as his second in command, thus re lieving him from much of the physical labor of his responsible position. The following deaths of Pennsylvania soldiers occurred yesterday, in the hospitals here : William Torrey,' Fifty-third; M. D. Keyser, Sixth ; - William Henderson, Eleventh ; and Robert Hickman, Forty-ninth. A body of one of the victims of the Ball's Bluff blunder, found in the Potomac and hith erto unrecognised, hag been ascertained to have been that of a member of the California regi ment. In addition to what has heretofore been as serted in contradiction of the false statements of the Richmond papers. There is good au thority for stating that Count Mercier, the, French minister, had no official communcica tion whatever with the Southern authorities. The report that Lord Lyons has gone, or is going, to Richmond Is as untrue as the recent unfounded rumors of changes in the cabinet. The Navy Dapartmeat Is quietly though effi ciently at work increasing the means of na tional defense. The Atlantic Works and Har rison & Loring, Boston, have been awarded contracts for building iron-clad vessels under the recent law. The Senate to-day, in executive session, con firmed the nominations of George Cadwallader, of Penneylvarda, and George H. Thomas, of Virginia, as major generals, and Colonel Alfred H.

Hammond surgeon general, with the rank of brigadier general ; also, Charlet, F. Garrett as assistant quartermaster, and Harvey A. Smith, of Kansas, commissary of subsistence. The Senate is said to have rejected Nathan Reeve as Assistant Quartermaster, and the fol lowing as Brigadier Generals: John Cochran, H. H. Lockwood, Charles F. Clark, and Charles Dana. John Trimble, of Tennessee, was confirmed tui U. S. Attorney fcr the Middle district of that State. Owing to a misapprehension which caused the rejection of Daniel E.
