[SiviEr_los .Camortas.—The subjohied story,
written by a young lady correspondent, is pub
lished for the benefit of mothers, to amuse
t heir sometimes restless and petnlent littleones.
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 thrones of the Old
World—the court of the Universe—the Govern
merits of the world, may all fall - and crumble
into ruin—the New World may commit the
national suicide of dissolving this Union, but
all this must occur before I join the Democ
racy I.
!join th, Democracy I Jordan Cleat, you know
not what you say—when I join the Democracy,
the Pope of 'Rotne will join the Methodist
church—when Jordan. Clark of Arkansas is Pre

Queen - Victoria consents to be divorced from

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. Moody or. the
Governor of Ohio.
Major Jones, the Inspector, bad reported
matters all right at Gamp Chase.
The Senate then adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Dews said, Mr. Stevens opposed the
government committee only when they inter
posed against a private speculation of Stevens'
brother for a large amount of arms, the money
to be drawn from the treasury. In'the course
of his remarks he said, although Cameron de
nied ever making a contract, he did make one,
involving a million and a third dollars for
European muskets three days before he left the
Cabinet, which amount the committee saved.
Mr. Dawes was very severe on Cameron, as giv
ing fat contracts to his friends to reconcile old
political differences.
Mr. KELLY condemned the committee as not
being actuated by a spirit of justice, and com
plained of their conduct. toward Alexander
Cummings, whom they , had condemned on an
error of the printer, which as individuals they
had refused to correct. The consideration of
the subject was postponed till Monday, and the
House then adjourned.

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. Terry, of Connecticut, and Miles S. Shackle,
of Indiana, Major Henry W. Worsens, of the
Sixth infantry, Colonel John W. Geary, Major
Samuel W. Crawford, of the Thirteenth infan
try, Leonard I'. Roes, of Illinois, as brigadier
genrals of volunteers ; Brigadier General James
W. Ripley to be chief of ordnance, and William
A. 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. Sickles, the Preeident
to-day renominated him to be Brigadier Gen
eral. The prospect of confirmation Is favorable.

Say'that at Savannah they heard heavy tiring

ding-was brisk, and gradually grew louder,
being heard for miles this side of Savannah.—
It is the belief that a general engagement was
brought on, which is strengthened by the fact
that on Wednesday significant preparation,
were made by Gen. Halleck for an attack.
Our gunboats on the Tennessee bad effected
