An incident.--As the fleet of transports was passing down the Chesapeake Bay to Hampton Roads, on that beautiful day in October when we first got under weigh at Annapolis, a large bald eagle came sweeping out from the shore of Maryland, and soaring high in air above the fleet, finally alighted on the masthead of the Atlantic, the Headquarters of the army. In an instant all eves were upon him, and conjectures were busy as to whether he were a loyal bird, come to give his blessing at parting, or a secession rooster, intent on spying out our strength. We gave the bird the benefit of the doubt; an officer peremptorily stayed the hand of a soldier who would have shot him, and we accepted the omen as auguring the full success of our enterprise.--Leavenworth (Kansas) Times, Nov. 22.

t is jocularly termed the canvas, a sword is a toad-sticker, and any of the altered patterns of muskets are known as howitzers. Mess beef is salt horse, coffee is boiled rye, vegetables are cow feed, and butter strong grease. Bully is the highest term of commendation, while dissent is expressed in the remark I don't see it. Almost every regiment has its nickname, and few officers or privates receive their legal appellations or titles when spoken of in their absence.--Cincinnati Commercial, Nov. 20 The Boston Post has the following Mark Tapley species of letter from one of its correspondents: Camp gunpowder, army of the Potomac, November, 1861. dear Messrs. Editors: Billy Briggs and I still remain in the army. The other morning I was standing by him in our tent. Hand me them scabbards, Jimmy, said he. Scabbards! said I, looking round. Yes, boots, I mean. Billy arranged himself in his scabbards — a dilapidated pair of fashionable boots — and stood up in a very erec

The Clergy of rebellion.--A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, writing from Marion, Ala., says: Rev. H. A. M. Henderson, late of Kentucky, is now canvassing this portion of the State, raising a regiment. He is a Methodist clergyman, and was driven from Kentucky because he would not take upon him the Lincoln yoke. It argues well for the Southern confederacy to see the clergy flying to arms. It is stated here that one-half of the Baptist ministers of this State are in the army, so that in the convention many vacant seats are to be found. --N. Y. World, Nov. 20.

es up Guyandotte Creek, met a rebel captain named Harvey Barrett mounted on a large gray horse and driving before him two unarmed Union men, whom he was about to force into the rebel army. These men were on their way to join Sperlock's company when waylaid by Barrett, who threatened to shoot them if they attempted to escape. As soon as Captain Sperlock saw the party he rode up to Barrett, and ordered him to lay down his arms, which he refused to do. Sperlock then told him he was attempting to impress into the service of the rebels two men against their wills, and that if he did not instantly dismount and give himself up, he would kill him. Barrett denied that the men were going against their wills, but they, seeing that there was a chance of escape, cried out that they were Union men. Sperlock then raised his rifle to his shoulder and sent a ball through Barrett's heart, who toppled from his horse, and, like a true rebel, died with a lie in his throat.--Cincinnati Gazette, Nov. 6.

A New way to obtain liquor.--The expedients of soldiers to obtain liquor seem inexhaustible. A Paducah correspondent of the St. Louis Republican says the other day a man started out with his coffeepot for milk; and on his return, an officer suspecting him for having whiskey in his can, wished to examine it, and the man satisfied him by pouring out milk. At night there was a general drunk in that soldier's quarters, ending in a fight. It was at last discovered that the man had put a little milk into the spout of his can, sealing the inside with bread, and filling the can with whiskey. That man is cute enough to lead an expedition against Jeff. Thompson.--Louisville Journal, Nov. 30.

advantage against the enemy, it was allowed to remain loaded up to yesterday afternoon. I am told that Gen. McCown assured the gunners that the piece would explode, supporting himself with a lucid explanation of the principles on which he based his supposition; but the huge proportions of the gun were supposed to be a sufficient protection to those around against the mine of saltpetre imbedded in the breech; and the gun was fired, exploded, and caught the magazine belonging to the piece, which lay immediately beneath the gun, killing eight men, among whom were Lieutenant of Artillery Snowden, and John Dublin, a citizen of Columbus, and seriously wounding five others, among whom are Maj.-Gen. Polk, who was knocked senseless by the concussion, having his clothes literally torn off him. Captains of Artillery Rucker and Miller, were seriously, though not dangerously wounded, and Capt. Pickett, of the Sappers and Miners, considerably bruised by the concussion. --Memphis Appeal, Nov. 14.

A Chaplain captures A Colonel.--While the Rev. J. D. Rodgers, Chaplain of the Twenty-third Indiana Regiment, was on his was on his was from conference at Rockport, Indiana, to Paducah some weeks ago, an old gentleman came on board the boat at Henderson who attracted his attention. He was dressed like an ordinary farmer, and in conversation appeared to be not very bright. At length, however, he became excited, and when talking, used language which convinced Mr. Rodgers that he was not exactly what he professed to be. Arriving at Paducah, Mr. R. called the attention of the Provost Marshal to the circumstance, when the old man was identified as a colonel in the Confederate Army. He was taken into custody, and is still at Paducah. He was at the Bull Run Battle.--Louisville Journal, Nov. 30.

ey may join Col. Williams' regiment, but the rebels will not permit them to leave their homes, and they subject them to all kinds of indignities. The Colonel has four or five complete companies, and they are a terror to the secessionists, because they will be able to identify them and bear witness against them for their ruthless deeds. In view of the great importance of having a full regiment recruited from the First district, we hope the Military Board will make an exceptional case in favor of Col. Williams, and give him an extension of time instead of consolidating his companies into some other regiment. They know every foot of ground in the infected district south of the Tennessee River, and in a short time they will be able to clear it of every sneaking rebel who is now committing depredations. The fate of Milliken shows that the Unionists there are resolute, and they only need a little more strength and organization to protect themselves fully.--Louisville Journal, Nov. 25.

Leather.--The Tallahassee Floridian has seen a specimen of kip leather, tanned in twenty days with dog-fennel preparation, and which the shoemakers there pronounce equal to the best French leather. The leather was prepared by Isaac Bierfield, of Newberry, S. C., who has a patent for the process, but asks very high prices for the privilege of using his discovery-three hundred dollars for an individual right, seven hundred dollars for a county, and ten thousand dollars for a State. The Floridian recommends planters in Florida, where dog-fennel grows abundantly, to gather and cure the weed, which is found to possess so valuable a property.--New Orleans Picayune, Nov. 27.
