getting a box. is so great that l advise you
not to send -on#, f think if you would

There are numerous insUnces of noble self
denial on the part of soldiers. Their pay
per month is $l3, and they receive their
' pay .every two months. A day or two
sineb A' soldier camo .toJho chaplain of tho
Seventh,.and wanted to purchase eighteen
cents worth of postage stamps. “It is all
the money I have," said he “ and I want to
Write homo once in a while." The chap
lain knowing him to be a steady, ecomomi
< 041 aolilCr, replied, “how is this? you
were paid off the other day." «I know it
but there Js my family at homo; I sent
-them twenty«dhree dollars; then there were
"tho bodies of those two men who died, I
- gave two dollars to send them home, and
then there were a few tittle things I must-
which took the eighty-two cents, and
herd is the other eighteen, which makes up
the twenty-six dollars." There'is eelf-de
nial for you. Ido not suppose that this is
*-ftfl-OTCSJJttoBar case; there are thousands
of men in this army whose most anxious
thought*are for those whom they have left
behind.* ~
THE ECONOMY OF TUE REGIMENT.
I doubt if any other regiment has sent
home a larger amount of money than this.
At last pvfdaj the amount was a little ris
ing would average nearly
$l9 per mha. Such an amount must be
acceptable m the families of Norfolk and
Bristol'at tMsaeaaon of ihc year. Thec’or
respondencepf the regiment is very large
—the numbor of letters sent averaging 360
per day. Some days nearly air hundred
‘ have been mailed. To show the excellent
discipline of the regiment it may be stated
that the guard house is often without an
inmate and that the offences deemed wor
* thy of punishment are very rare. Such a
regiment is an honor to the old Common
wealth.— Correspondence Boston Journal.
Big Bugs South.
We have read the Inaugural Speech of
Pettus, the Governor of the State of Mis
sissippi, and have found it a sweetly
tumescent production. For instance:
“When defeat.brings death to the best
and bravest of* our land,..- and more
than death to those who merely survive
reckless must be the man who assumes to
, play any part in this desperate game with
out more than ordinary solicitude.” This
is piit, it will be noticed, in the bestDoctor
_ Samuel-Johnsonian style. What is put?
the reader may ask. Really, we don’t
knovr. All wc know is that whatever is
put is very'well put indeed. But this is
betteretill: / •'MIf the ship is lost, the cap
tain goes with it. If otnv cause is lost, all
who hold big places in the Sothern States
V/must perish first iu its falL”
Pettus eridently felt a crick iu the neck
witai he emltted this sentence. ‘ His is
one of “ the big places,” and his may be
one of the first haliers. The “ big places ”
will become “tight places” when “our
cause” Is “lost.” Pettus understands
what bis peril is with reasonable- clear
ness. . He is also kiod enough to observe
that not only will those “in high places ’
be hung, but that “ one common destiny
awaits us alL”_ Btill, he seems to think
that being a big placeman he will be turned
off in the very first batch. So far from
saving him, his “big place " will seal his
doom. Well, if anybody is to' bo hung,
why not Pettus.?—AT. Y.. Tribune .

The Trent Affair at Washington!
The following special dispatches of the New
York Tribune, and the N w York Herald, da
ted Thursday evening, are of much interest.
They are given great prominence in those pa
lters, being, double leaded. The Tribune
dispatch is as follows:
THK DISriTCBtS ft»k-tXOU3fD.
Capt. beymour, messenger to Lord Lyons,
came hero direct from Boston in .an express
train, at the expense of $-470. Mr. Adams
rent no courier,'.but tho dispatch agent at
Boston put the bag in clriCrge of a captain of
the 22d Massachusetts, who did not get here
till this morning.
At 1 o'clock Lord Lyona called upon the
{Secretary of State, who was then at the Capi
tol. Us Called again at 3 o’clock.
The communication which he made is yet a
sesret. No Cabinet meetinghas been held on
the subject.
The general feeling of the city is less war
like than at first, and people talk coolly of
surrendering the rebel emissaries, if it cau be
done without a sacrifice of honor, rather than
to engage at this time in a foreign war.
The report that members of the Cabinet
take a similar view of the question gains cur
rency and finds belief. But, while It is not
true that such a conclusion has been arrived
at In Cabinet meeting, on the one hand, it is
untrue, on the other hand, that the determin
ation not to surrender under any circumstances
or for auj consideration is absolute—that,
while the Government will do nothing to pro
voke hostilities, it will guard well the Na
tional honor.
Should arbitration be proposed, it may bo
accepted, should a sufficient consideration for
the surrender of Mason and Slidell be offered,
it may be made.
A prominent member of the Government
stated in conversation this evening, that Lord
Lyons would not demand bis passports, that
Mason and Slidell would nut be given op, and
that there was no probability of a war with
England.
The Rinaldo, which left Halifax upon the
arrival of the Europa, as was thought, for the
purpose of communicating with the squadron,
is reported at Annapolis awaiting the embar
kation of Lord Lyons, 9hould he wish to ao
to England. 6
Englishmen here continue confident of war
between tbe two countries. This opinion,
. wever, is based upon no official communica
tion; and, whiio it excites some unpleasant
reeling, carries no weight. Several English
mon now in our army, among them
Col. Havelock and CapL Stuart, hare, it is
declared, signified their intention to resign
should further complication ensue. In other
extraordinary and painful evidences of
sudden hostility to our causo have been shown.
1 ho general feeling, howovor, appears to bo a
sincere regret at what they regard the inevi
.table issuo.
Mr. Adams’s dispatches havo little to say
touching the Trent, having received no com
munication on the subject from the British
Government. In tbe_«ue of tho Nashville ho
had made representations but had received no
reply.
Tho Herald't dispatches areas follows
THE EASOX-SLIDBLL AFFAIR.
The mail bag containing the dispatchos
from Minister Adams was placed in charge of
Captain George Cook,, of tho Twenty-second
Massachusetts Volunteers, at Boston, with
* **** expediting its transmission to
Washington. Captain Cook traveled with
tbo Queen’s messenger, Captain Seymour, by
tho Shore Linerouto from Boston to New York,
where they arrived more than two hours be
hind time, and missed the connection. The
English bearer of dispatches proceeded by
sjH-rinl train. J
Captain Cook telegraphed Secretary Seward
to know if he should engage a special train,
an i rcceivod answer that it was not necessary.
r with his charge this morning, only
a few hours behind Capt; Seymour. Tho dis-'
p.tckM werecalmlj received by the Secretary.
Ihcy fillod a large mail bag, and weighed ono
hundred pc ands.
At New Haven there was groat excitement
ut tho depot when the train arrived. There
wuj an immonso crowd, curious to seo tho
Qu son’s messenger, who was then fast asleep.
An absurd rumor was circulated to-day,
that tho government decided last evening to
surrender Mason and Slidell. It is without
any foundation whatever.
- Up to eleven o’clock to-night Lord Lyons
had made no communication from his gov
ernment to the President or Soerotary of State
reUtive to tho traitors Masoo and Slidoll.
Mr. Adams, in his communications to Mr.
Seward, gives a dear and detailed idea of the
feeling ot the British people and the senti
ment of British statesmen, but does not indi
cate that he knows tho purpose of the instruc
tions of the English government to Lord
Lj nns.
.Vothing contained in Mr. Adams’ dispatches
indicates that tAaf yovernvient will make any
ex..> f.itantdemand upon the United States relative
to the seisure of the traitors. This is not only
trur, bnt I am permitted to announce, by high
oft.tial authority, that private letters received
tu-day. from distinguished British statesmen,
assert that tho government of Great Britain
will uot demand the release of Mason and
Slidell, but will rcouire an apology and such
reparation os the United Status can honor&blv
grant. This is also confirmed by utber private
correspondence from Americans in London,
who have facilities for learning something uf
the intentions of the British government.
The French Minister gave a dinner this
evening. The British, Spanish, Russian and
other Ministers were present. In conversa
tion the tables were rather turned upon the
French Minister, that ho had received no in
structions from hia government on the Mason
and Slidell affair, since France was viewed
as the chosen ally of England. This was
pleasantly done, hut the French Minister did
not relish the joke.
The President has important privato letters
that will hare groat weight in the summing
np of this traitorous Imbroglio.
Senator Sumner, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Finance, interrupted the proceedings op
tho Senate to-day, by moving that the body
go into executive session to consider import
ant business communicated by a special mes
sage from the President. The motion was
carried.
The message covered highly important doc
uments concerning our foreign relations, but
having no reference-to the Mason and Slidell
affair. It concerns the tri-partite expedition
to the Gulf, which is, after all, of more im
-portance to this Government thun everything
elso now agitating the public mind in this
country. Tho message was ordered to bo
printed.
Tho Mason and Slidell affair is only em
ployed; by tho British Governmental a pre
text, while they employ their forces in anothor
direction to destroy our power and strengthen
their own.
THE TRENT APFAIft IV ENGLAND.
Anothor dispatch from Washington, to the
Tribune, says :
Private letters from England, of which
many have reacbod Washington, apeak of tho
excitement thcro as intense, reminding tho
Americans of tho feeling of tho North after
Fort Sumter foil. Oue correspondent, in a
letter dated December 4th, speaks oT seeing a
newly painted cab on Oxford street with the
British and Kobcl flags crossed on a panel,
and little secession flags for salo on tho street.
At tho Adclphia Theatre, controlled by Dion
Bonreicanlt, whoro the Octoroon was playing,
the Stars and Stripes, which had floated there,
were wrapped round the staff, and tho Stars
and Bars displayed.
Tho Tories wero urging on tho popular feel
ing in the hope of getting power, and tbo'
Whigs were striving to outdo them, in order
to retain it. Tho London ~7Vraes, at first
doubtful as to our right, having changed front
after it had learned the opinion of tho law
officers of tho- Crown, journals, large and
small, .except two or three Irish ones, rivaled
each other in fiorce anti-American articles.
From Fortress Monroe.
Fortress Monroe, Dec. 20— Via Baltimore.
—A flag of truco arrived from Norfolk to-day
but brought no nows of importance.
It isunderstood that CapU J. A. Dolagnel,
who was exchanged for Capt. Ricketts, has
already boon promoted Lieut. Colonel, and
will command tho rebel forces at Cranev
Island.
Goiw Wool and staff this morning visited
tho Roanoke, to witness somo target practice.
The stcamor Spaulding will probably leave

Thursday, December, lB6l. j
After a long delay, waiting for something
of importance to turn up, the long anx
iously looked for moment was oshered in
quite unexpectedly, at a. m., by tbe
booming of the guns of the enemy from a
battery planted on the summit of Catoctin
Mountain, directly' opposite and about ono
mile and three quarters distant from our
camp. They were profuse ia iron compli
ments for a short time, and ball and shell fell
in and around our camp full rapidly enough
to satisfy even those who consider the whiz
zing of a.ball the sweetest music in the world.
Many of the balls fell quite close to the tents
of tbe Staff, and the quarters of the “Knap's
Battery,” one .section of which (with two
pieces) is now with us. But the play was not
all on one side. Our battery was immediately
in position, and after a few well-directed
rounds, tbe valiant enemy were off in double
quick lime—at least their battery was silenced,
and our attention was directed to clearing out
the cavalry and infantry, who had taken
shelter in the various houses and barns in the
valley. This was managed In masterly style,
and the frightened rebels were warmly re
ceived by our infantry, who emptied several
saddles, and urged the foot soldiers on to a
paoe seldom witnessed, whioh might be de
nominated fourth quick time, while many
were laid out, having paid with their Ures ‘he
penalty of their rashness. -The management
of the guns called forth the warmest congrat
ulations of the officers. And well it might,
for almost every shot reached the object aimed
at, and proved conclusively, to the most in
credulous, that the flattering notice in refer
ence to tbe proficienoy of Knapp’s Pennsyl
vania Battery as true to tho letter.
The force of the enemy was large, consis
ting of artilllery, cavalry and Infantry, and
was evidently much larger than ours; and
they also had every advantage of positions,
being sheltered in tbe wood, from which they
dared not emerge until forced by the iron
h&Q. This appears to be their regular mode
of warfare, to skulk and hide, and, assassin
like, stab in the dark.
To some of us, yesterday morning wa? the
proudest morning in our lives, in having tho
proud satisfaction of meeting the onomy, and
putting in practice the knowledge of the use
of arms we have boen so long learning to ac
quire—and we now feel wo are soldiers indeed,
although only in ono small action, and feel
like letting oar friends know that we endeav
ored to perform our duty.
Tho advantage of artillery was manifest,
for without cannon the camp was at the mercy
of the foe, and having tho range, as they had,
togotbor with thoir position, we would have
suffered severely, if net comnclled to move,
which just at this time would be very incon
venient.
Many langhablo incidents occurred, which
X have not timo to note, and will reserve for
a fatnro letter. Being in haste, I have only
time to say the Pittsburgh and Allegheny
boys did tbcirduty,as did all
