ong the whole extent of our coast, and completely isolate us from the rest of mankind. If, at the beginning of the war, a few millions had been expended for iron-plated frigates, we could by this time have sunk the whole Yankee navy, and opened our ports to the commerce of the world. It is not yet too late. By energetic efforts we can get a fleet ready by spring, which will save us from a humiliating reliance upon the intervention of foreign powers. Every effort should at once be made for the relief of the country from the Yankee blockade. We trust that the Executive and Congress will bestow their earliest attention upon this most important subject. Our naval officers, among the most accomplished and heroic in the old service, are panting for an opportunity of distinction and usefulness upon the ocean, and we hope they will not be disappointed. We know of no expenditure which would yield as rich returns as the construction of a few ships of war.--Richmond Dispatch, Nov. 12.

A patriotic family.--Mr. Europe Houghton, of Newton, Mass., has a family of five sons and two daughters. Three of his sons are in the Massachusetts First regiment, and two were members of the skirmishing company selected from the regiment some time since. The whole three were in the first Bull Run battle. Another son is in the Massachusetts Sixteenth, and the last of the five has just joined Col. Wilson's regiment, and all will fight bravely in defence of liberty and good government. One of the girls is in the employ of the United States at the Watertown Arsenal, making six out of seven in the service of the Government.--Boston Journal, Nov. 10.

t serious. Her guns were in such constant use that they became hot, and almost leaped from the deck at each discharge. It is really wonderful that her damage is so very immaterial. Beyond a hole between decks, another through the beam, just at the lower part of the gunwale, a cut snroud and a battered stove-pipe, (not smokestack,) she is unharmed. The Wabash also came in for a large share of the fight. A cannon-shot passed along her deck and struck Thomas Jackson, the coxswain. The ball nearly carried away one of his legs, leaving it so that it hung only by shreds of flesh and skin. Leaning against a gun, he drew out his sheath-knife and tried to cut it off entirely. The knife was too dull, and his shipmates hastened to him and carried him below. He kept continually asking how the fight progressed, saying, I hope we'll win; I hope we'll beat them. He died in two hours, his last words expressing happiness that he had done something for his country.--Phila. Press, Nov. 16.

nary specimen of carving were old steel pens, which the prisoner managed to pick up. He has presented it to Dr. Higinbotham, surgeon of the post, as a token of gratitude for kindness shown him during a long period of suffering.--Richmond Dispatch, Nov. 28. Buchanan no more.--A town named Buchanan, in La Crosse County, Wis., recently petitioned to have its name changed to Washington, on account of the disgrace attached to the name of Buchanan, and their petition was unanimously granted.--Cialents are no doubt in active requisition. He is the kind of blue jacket we want about this river — the sailor man who, in conjunction with the ever-ready Colonel J. K. Duncan, will give the Yankee boys a belly full of hard knocks should they try the Port Royal operations about the mouth of Old Muddy. The Pelican lads are, too, the kind of stuff such leaders as their own captain and those we have named will be worthy and proud of. Hurrah for the floating battery!--N. O. True Delta, Nov. 17.

New Orleans, Nov. 24.--Twenty-eight thousand troops were reviewed yesterday by Gov. Moore, Gen. Lovell, and Gen. Ruggles. The line was seven miles long. There was one regiment of fourteen hundred free colored men. The military display was grand. One company displayed a black flag.--Cincinnati Gazette, Dec. 4.

Disappointed.--We are reliably informed that a few evenings ago the family of Andrew Johnson felt so assured that he would make his appearance in Greenville at the head of a Lincoln force, that they made preparations for giving the distinguished traitor a splendid supper upon his arrival. What a delusion!--Nashville Banner, Nov. 20.

Heeble, abandoned and burning, off Bolivar, in the Bay. Boats were sent to her assistance.

Heeble, abandoned and burning, off Bolivar, in the Bay. Boats were sent to her assistance. The fire was within a few feet of her magazine, which was saved and the fire quenched. The damage was light. There were indications of a stout resistance by her crew. The cutlasses were found below deck, but the other small arms were missing. Musket balls were found imbedded in her sides. It is supposed a frigate launch neared the Yacht before it was discovered. The attacking party evidently consisted of missing. Musket balls were found imbedded in her sides.

A patriotic family.--At Camp Kenton, near Maysville, Ky., there are seven volunteers of the same immediate family, five of them brothers. Their names are respectively Lafayette Kidder, Charles Kidder, Orange Kidder, William Kidder, John Kidder, Alonzo Kidder, Henry Kidder. In this connection the Maysville Eagle says, that, though laggard at first, Mason county will soon have as large a proportion of her sons in the field as any other county in the State not exposed to immediate danger.--Louisville Journal, Nov. 21.

Munchauseniana. Richmond, Nov. 4.--It is here currently reported that considerable commotion exists in Washington and in the free States from the rumored resignations of Generals Scott and McClellan, and of Secretaries Seward and Cameron, and of other prominent Federal officials. A general Kilkenny cat fight seems impending trd, Blair, Cameron, Scott, and McClellan. The probable difficulty grew out of the attempt to force McClellan to attack the Confederate forces.--Charleston Mercury, Nov. 5. A note from J. L. Shumate, of New Madrid, Mo., says that after the evacuation of Fredericktown by Jeff. Thompson, the Northern Goths and Vandals burned a pore Northern Goths and Vandals burned a portion of the town, pillaged the Catholic Church, arrested some of the ladies of the place, forcibly tore their ear-bobs from their ears and rings from their fingers, and offered them other indignities too hateful to mention.--Quotation from a Southern paper in the Cincinnati Times, Nov. 20.

of his men, started to capture Col. Williams' men; but these brave boys being on the alert, awaited until they arrived at Henderson's house, when they surrounded the rebels and captured the whole squad, nine, the Captain included, but the Captain afterwards made his escape in the bushes. The names of those men are Capt. J. N. Bourland, James Albrittain, John Linn, Josiah Ballance, J. R. McKnight, Wm. M. Duncan, J. M. Taylor, Gilbert Hart and, Arch. Bogard. All honor to these brave boys. The rebels from this part of the State had better stand from under, for Col. Williams is getting a formidable force of as brave boys as ever shouldered a musket, and being well acquainted with the geography of the country, and all the roads, neighborhoods, &c., will render incalculable service. The richness of the joke, however, consists in nine men, with double barrel guns, making 18 shots, being captured by six men, with only single barrel guns, and only 6 shots.--Louisville Journal, Nov. 19.
