op A, 5th Cavalry, and two batteries of light artillery, and on arrival there to take the balance of the 11th Infantry (which was already there) and organize his command preparatory to a movement by way of Sabana Grande, San German, Mayaguez, and Lares to Arecibo, to which point it was intended to send General Garretson's column by the more direct route via Adjuntas and Utuado—all to be concentrated under General Henry, together with additional troops to be sent around by sea from Ponce to Arecissance seventeen Spaniards were killed, a large number wounded, and fifty-six prisoners taken. The victorious march of General Schwan's column, however, was arrested by the receipt, on the morning of the 14th, of orders to suspend hostilities. Lares was, in fact, evacuated by the Spaniards in anticipation of the advance of our troops. From Aug. 7-15 General Schwan's troops marched 92 miles, occupied nine towns, made 162 regulars prisoners of war, captured and paroled 200 volunteers, captu

d closeness to the ideal, he showed range, grasp, power of illustration, and precision of statement such as I never saw in him before. I will begin him again and read by faith awhile. There was a book of studies from Salvator Rosa, from the Brimmer donation, at the Athenaeum, which I looked over with great delight and got many thoughts for my journal. There was at last an interview with Mr. Allston. He is as beautiful as the town-criers have said, and deserves to be Mr. Dana's Olympus, Lares, and Penates, as he is. He got engaged upon his Art, and flamed up into a galaxy of Platonism. Yet what he said was not as beautiful as his smile of genius in saying it. Unfortunately, I was so fascinated, that I forgot to make myself interesting, and shall not dare to go and see him. Ms. Three months later the family left Groton forever, having taken a house at Jamaica Plain, then and perhaps now the most rural and attractive suburb of Boston.

But she would not hush, and was not to be intimidated. Horrid old things! She went on crying angrily. Called me Sis! They shan't call me Sis! Oh, where is mamma's picture? The silver connoisseur, relieved by the diversion, made a hasty exit from the parlor, and dashed by me up-stairs. My heart was with my Lares and Penates (two trunks!) and I as hastily followed, M. at my heels. When or why she turned back I never could exactly discover, nor did I miss her for some minutes. She was still in pursuit, however, of mamma's picture, which she now recollected had been given, with others, into the safekeeping of Aunt Pony, the household factotum and V.'s former nurse. The investigating Federal proceeded to open drawers and wardrobes upon reaching my room; and, after watching him a few moments, I aske

Parson Brownlow at home. --The vagabond Person Brownlow is once more at home among his own Lares and Penates, and from the following notice, which appears in the Knoxville Bulletin, is evidently arranging household matters for the winter: I am wanting five or six loads of Anderson county coal, and for it, delivered at my residence, Cumberland street, I will pay a liberal price in greenbacks — not in the shaving paper of Jeff Davis's bogus Confederacy, as it would take a hat-crown full of that to pay for one load.
