A FIGHTING NEGRO.-A correspond ent of the Oicago' Tribune, desairbing the battle of Belmont, says ; • "During the thichest of the , fight the body servant of Gen. McOleru ard, a muljatto named William Stams Vecatur, exhibited conspicuous courage., He, was close by , the General, during the whcije engagement, cheering the soldiers 'and swearing that he would shoot the first man that showed the white feather.— Many of us laughed heartly at the fight ingQ darkey, while the bullets dew like Bail agont us. the course of the fight,* a captain of one of the companies was struck by n spent ball, which disabled him' 'from walking. The mulatto boy, who was mounted, rode' up to him and shouted out, 'Captain. if you can fight any longer for the old Stars' and ,Stripes take my horse and lead your men. Re then dismounted and helped the wounded officer into his saddle. When. he, was walking away a rebel , dragoon rashed for ward et the, officer to take, him prisoner. The aarkey drew , his revolver and put a ball through the rebel's head, scattering his brains all over the horse's neck. ,t "I relaie these little circumstances eo that merit may be justly delt with, even if the fiero is' a 'nigger' as some people would call this brave fellow."

Over twh thousand dogs have felt the weight of his arms, or rather snares' and nippers besides a considerable number redeemed at v. dollar a 'head. The pr4mium on each dog paid by the city is' fifty cents. The dogs are taken to a yard in lduttn wood.street, near Thirteenth, where they are hung to a heath and receive a bat on the, head, which extinguishes life's spark, man is then immediately on hand to buy the bodies', which .are boiled into wheel grease--and so ends the.dog's car case—he is try'd, and not found wanting in grease. MORAL . 1:11D riELIGIOUS time since authority was given Colonel Saiith of DlinoiS, to raise a regiment of "moral and religious men" for the war. He was not confined to any Congression al District, or particular locality, but bad a carte blanche to canvass the whole Stater After struggling for five weeks Col. Smith has been forced to abandon the undertaking. He succeeded in get ting twenty-three captains, thirteen more than were needed, of the proper qualifications, but the "moral and re ligious men" did not fall into line in sufficient numbers to form a respectable guard. MITTENS FOR THE. SOLDIERS..-...Ail offi cer from West Point, who commands ono of the finest regiments in the service, suggests that woolen mittens for the soldiers will be greatly needed when the cold weather begins. Will not all who can employ themselves in this way help to furnish five hundred thousand pairs~? '['hey should be knit with one finger,' to allow a free use of the ,firet,fingbr and thumb. It is said there were more soldiers disabled in the tiritieai war, from any other one cause.

A LAwyua's Tarcu.L—A shrewd trick tUidentify the handwriting of a party in a stilt was resorted to in a case tried in the Suprimb Court lately. A man, his wife 'and son, made ajoint note, all thiee sighing their names: When the note came due it was repudiated, and the holders commenced suit. No diffieulty was found in regard to the identity Of the signature of. husband And son,. but no , one could be obtained to identify, Abe handwriting of the wife. 'ln this dilem ma the council for the holdeeof the note got an Express monied envelove, which ho put a snbpcana. A boy,, was sent with this envelope and a receipt book to the house of the lady... The lady fell into the• trap, received the en velope and signed the receipt' in the boy's book.

A BRIDAL PiRTY.—A wedding party passed through Elmira a few days since, which. never had its prototype, inthe whole tra n of Hymen's devotees. •The folloWing items in regard to this peculiar couple will Satisfy every one that "matri monial sweets," were never measured out. on so small a scale before. Their respective weights are about 65 4 and 33 pounds. Their respective ages are 21 and . 20 years. Their respective heights; three feet five inches, and two feet eleven inches. The gentleman is a brother of the celebrated Gen. Nutt, Tom Thumb's great rival. The lady is, known as the Fairy Queen,. formerly Miss Sarah Bel ton. The happy pair were on their way to the little lady's home from their• bri dal trip to Niapra Falls. ANOTHER, OF panne Liss.--A gentle man writes •to us that different parties have stated to him,,that we, the Senior Editor of the Journal, adniitted to a confident that a great deal of money had been spent in Kentucky for the Union cause, and not less 'than , half a million upon the. Legislature. •If anybody, calling himself our confi dent,,has made any such 'statement, he is a base liar. The statement itself Is a lie, all a lie, without .a particle or the ghost of aiartiele of • truth• to rest on. But we can't be expected,to hunt up and dispose of all the lies the secessionists put in circulation. We might as well spend our days in one never-ending flea i hunt.--Louisville Journal. STANDING- ARMIES.--it is gratifying to inow that so, long as the: Constitution, remains, no such thing as a permanent military eitfablishtnent can be fastena upon as. Those stera old Republicans —the fathers, of our country—were, t above all things, jealous of standing armies. They have effectually prohibit= ed it, by the provision,' that no appro priation for the support of armies "shall be for a longer period than two years,7 thus rendering the continuence of , a,dy force great or small, dependent upOn the separate assent of each branch of every successive Congress. RESIGNATION OF GEL KErld.—" It iB4 currently reported," says the Harrisburg ; . Patriot• and. Union, " that Gen. W.
