Cairo, 17th. In a reconnoisnneo recent ly madu from Natchez, to Wuodvillo, the capital of WilkeiHon county, forty mileo distant, mid connected by railroad with St. Francisville, near Rayon Sara, the ex pedition destroyed five locamolives. nnd and fifty five passenger cars, together with a rebel cotton (uctnrv and cotton manufac ture?, valued nt 82(10,000. This destruc tion of railway facilities will prove n very serious blow to the rebels, while other ml vantages, hardly less important to our arms, must result from the opening of thu. Small-western country, which this expedi tion has shown practicable. Newborn, 1"3. A letter dated Holla, lias a verry nblo nrticle, four columns in length, donounciug thu treachery of Con federate measures, shoiing thu fdlency of their promises, the idlu success of their ef forts, stilting that portions only of the five original States remain in tho hands of thu Confederates, uud proposing to cloth N. 0. in her sovereign capacity, to make im mediate overturn to tho North for peace. Throe fourths of the rebel prisoners con fined here deuirc to take the oath of alle giance, so they can remain within our lines. At daylight, Friday, tho l-llli. our bat teries on Morris Island opened fire, which lasted an hour or two, when they ceased. The monitor-! did not fire a shot. As soon ns tho batteries ceased firing, tho monitors put up awnings. No explanation i3 given for this movement. Our informant says during the short engagement he saw sever Bliots Btriku Sumter, causing brick nnd mor tar to fly profusely. One of our officers who left Moiris Istand on Friday, speaks confidently of our prospects. Cuiro, 17th. Admiral Fortcr notifies the public that gunboats are now stationed on the Mississippi, oil thu way to New Or leans, whero there is any danger of being molested by puarillas ; vessela therefore uwu iiih jvu.i u.r u cuiivuj . Albany, 17th. Information has been' received of destruction by lire of Hirst's Shoddy Mill, nt Choosac, burning to death several female operatives. The flames spread with fenrful rapidity, nrtl the only means of escape left the girls were the win dows. Some of them were so terror strick cned ns to abandon themselves ip their fate, and perish in the building; n,Jrsfell from the window into the fire; many were bad ly injured by jumping to the ground. Twenty-five were missing, fifteen of whom were reported burned to death. New York, 17th. Advices received from Liverpool to tho lJth, nnd Queens town to tho Tali. The London lUvicto, heretofore ono of tho strongest advocates of Secessionists in England, looks upon the recent Federal victories ns n death-blow to the cause of the South. Speakers in the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, on the 2d, expressed tho opinion that the Amer ican war was not far from its close. Jus. Spence, the notorious secession udvocate, held the same view. The London Tiniti expresses the belief that the Government will have ctiniiirli on its hands to rnlorco the draft, nnd evidently hopes that the nr my cannot be reinforced by conscripts, and that therefore the invasion of the South mnst come lo on. end. TJic Star looks up on rventH in n different light, and says the Union forcss nre turning to iiccoutitrecent victories, by pushing forward nt every point their extended lines. New York. VOth, 10.. a.m. Tho or ihli special dispatch sa)(i, last week one of our scouts crossed the river at U. S. ford, and took dinner with onio rebels upon the Ohancelorvillo battle ground. A large gnng of negroes was employed getting out timbers for the construction of the defenses. Reports nre in circulation among reheU to the efieet that U. S. anil. Dunks fords were to be bridged, so as to enable Lee to make n rapid nttnek on Humphreys nnd Fairfax, thereby cutting off our communication with Washington, tind forcing us to tt tack him. Whether such u movement in still in contemplation by thu enemy is not certain, but is generally believed by milita ry critics that Lcc will avail himself of the opportunity now tiflordcd by thu decimated condition of our nrmy to make a desperate effort for tho destruction of the Army of the Potomac. It Is not ut till improbable that the rebels will attack us, nnd wo may have another struggle upon the placo of Manussas nud Dull Run. Affairs at Centerville remain quiet. General King, who has been scutching en ergeticly for Mosely, ut length Mieceeded in discovering him beyond Rlue Ridge. That notorious guerilla chief is in the Shen andoah valley, where he has been joined by Whites gang. Our cavalry nre close upon them. Unless unusual -good fortune attend them they cannot evade us. The Tribune' Washington special dispatch states tli.it it is understood that importunt dispatches. Rhowing the complicity of thu Governor of .New j one nnd others with the rioters, lias been received by thu nulhoiilicH. There it is thought that Gov. Seymour will nut persist in following the mistaken ennrso into which ho wus beguiled by Wood's party. Tho flag-ship Gilmnre, ofl' Chnrleslnn, lfith, has arrived : Since- Monday last events here have been rather monotonous. We have been exchanging shell and hnt with thu rebels night and day with but lit tie ilumuge to either side. Tho enemy's object was to retain Gen. Gilmore's siego works, but they were all prepared several .lays ago. Tho intention to open on tho l.'lili win abandoned on account of some deficiency ns to tho quality of tho nrmy ammunition, nud owing to the serious in disposition of General Gilmore. Ho is. however, much better, nnd the opening of the heavy siege works will commence ut duylight to-morrow. Tho shore batteries, in getting tho range- of guns yesterday and tho day before, knocked l luce holes in the wulls nt blunter. A Henerul impression prevails that tho lebels nru evacuating Sumter, and will blow it up ns soon ns the assault commences. Out of nearly thirty guns with purapcts, ten days ago, but six now remains, nnd most of those in the casemates have had previously disap peared. Tho ribels have erected works n mi'u long on James Island, though but low guns nre mounted. It is supposed that the destination of Sumter's guns is to these works. Oar picket boats around Sumter report great activity every night, with schooners, steamers, etc. The weather Is fine, with a very calm sea. Moon Is favorablo for operations. The sun is hot, but wo hevo a cood deck brcczo. with occasional thunder showers. Kvcrything is now in readiness on sea and shore. All are looking forward to the work of to-morrow as-certain of Kiiccess, Reinforcements con linuo to arrlvo dally, and there is quite u largo army now on thu Inland. On Wednes day night tho rebels fired on our works with R.ftpa aa cannister. op in the uight and Tho monitors went opened ou Wngnvr, Tho rebel guiis wero soon silenced. The Indications arc that the rebels will depend principally on their obstructions and Inter ior llii-s of defoin-c. In tho attack to-morrow, the Iroffclud will engage Wagner nnd keep her stlj-ncVd, whilst thu monitors and churo batterlys engage Sumter. The wooden tliiet nud mortar boat" will eiigogu Moultrie. It will bo a grand aifalr. Thu rebel works on James Island iudlcatu nn attempt on their part to drive Gilmore. off thu Maud, or to so annoy him ns lo iuterfeta with his siege of Sumter. t Chicago 10th. A Fpeclal Washington diFinleh My General lo-encrans mission to Washington is u cuinpletu success. New York, lflth. The estnbislmient known us New York Tatturj-cls was burn ed yesterday afternoon. A number of lire men were injured, and '2't horses were burn ed. Loss S-J0.0U0, the fire is supposed lo be the work of an incendiary and a por tion of n general scheme by rioteis on ac count of the approaching draft. In viow of the draft, which commenced to-day. Gov. Seymour yesterday ii-suod n proclamation, counseling obedience to the laws. He says "Whilu I believe it would have been u wise uud humane policy to have procured a judicial decision with re gard to the constitutionality of the Con script Act, yet, failing to do'this in no de gree justifies any violent opositiou. It is mi net of Congress, which, until it is set aside, must lu obeyed." Hu warns people thul the only opposition that can be allow ed, is an appeal to courts. In event of nnv riotous proceedings, vigorous nnd eff't'tive measures to Eiippresj them will be used. Washington. 12. A report of the opera tions f tin) Army of the Tennessee, from the day Gen.

There Is a species of humor, peculiarly American, which consists In gro tesque hyperbole, tho earicnturo of soniti fact which expresses it better than a. faith ful portrait would do. Snmo peoplo tub' the snake nnd kill It when they want to show it to lie, but the lively Ynnkco humor ist catches It by the tall ns it p:iscs, and stretches it into ludicrous proportions, n actors in pantomimes do tlin tails of those famous ductile dragons which so ns touish and delight the children. Instances of this wild and extravagant, humor uru as common as proverb-. Kvery body ha heard of tho weather which wiw so cold that the mercury went nut of sight, nnd which, no doubt, would hnvc been u great denl colder, If the thcimometer had been long enough. A similar exaggeration was that of n young man who took calomel on n morning so cold that the mercury ran right down Into his boots. And speaking of boots reminds us of n stage driver, win uoro such large ones that hu had to use the forks of the road us a boot-jack. The following passages nre Illustration; Tho man out West whoso legs nre so long that hu has to go down cellar to tie his shoe-. The man who Is so large that he has to go out of doors lo turn over. The man who snored so loud that he had to sleep over lu the next street lo keep from awakening him self. The man whose noso is so long that hu has to step forward three paces to reach tho end or it. Thu man who was so largo and heavy that his shadow killed n little hoy when it fell on him. Tho man who wa to'l'at that his shadow left n greasy trail along the road ni hu walked along; uud the in-iii who was so thin that he did not cat any shadow ut nil. And among these de serves to rank the horse who ran so fa-t around the ring Hint the spectators could only see one continual circular horse; to gether with that other more famous racer that, ran so swiftly round tho arena that ho nearly caught up with himself, and could sue his own tail just before him. A fireman once related on adventure lu which he found himself In u rich saloon, sur rounded by wealth and lino company. "I didn't know myself until I felt In my pockets and found 'em empty.'' Some one inferred that he was customa rily short of funds. "That's so," said ho, '-If steamboats wer selling for two cents apiece I huveu'l money lo buy a gangway plank.'' Wu once heard a person tell of a fright he had from a big dog. 'I lost flesh," satd he. "nt tho rate of ten pounds n minute, till tho owner came nud called him oil-." Along with this wo may placo the story or a man who. in consequence of a fright, ran so fast nud so far, that when hu stopped it was more than twenty minutes before hN shadow enmu up with him. Hu was proba bly watched by thu man whoso dickey was so high that ho had to climb ti fence to seu it. A Riuvn Woman-. A lady living in the west portion tf Tehama county, arrest ed a horse thief on Tuesday lust, unaided and alone. The thief called lit her house fur something to eat, which was provided af ter which lie went to the orrul and select ed a fine hor?c and made off with it. The lady saddled up a horsu nnd with a shot gun gave chute. When within hailing dis tance she ordered the rascal to surrender, which ho did unconditionally. She march ed him back, called on some of the neigh bors, related the circumstances, uiul several of them volunteered to nceompany him to Red I'luir. The days of romance' and nil venture uio not yet passed, ns tho above circumstance will verify. The public tiro entitled to the name of this lady, though modesty might causo her to object to its appearing in print. Mrs. Lacoclc is strong Union lady, which accounts foitic whnt for her bravery. Itcd liluff liukpciu (hut. Tho following is from u soldier's letter; You remember tho words of Collingwood at Trafalgar, raying with enthusiasm, nmid the cracking of timbers nnd the roar of battle.," What would Nelson give to be here J" a remark which I never compre hended till 1 stood upon a battle-field and heard the roar of thu conflict. What ani mals men arc! The bugle blast, sharp, clear, ringing the charge, stiis men ami horses alike. They leap they understand that it is a charge nerves thrill, muscles becomes rigid. Men in a Cavalry chargo are changed to devils, tiding demouiac steeds. -Exhaust language and terms ex pressive of the feelings of men nnd ani mals in n Cavalry churgo und yon will I'uti to convey a ti uo idea of the reality. The nienlbers of the Missouri State Con vention now in Fession ut Jefferson City, are classified as follows : Copperheuds. 26; Conservatives, 'lf ; Rebels, U.; nud Rndi-t-als, 18. Tho Radieals.and Conservatives are emancipationists -the iformer being in favor of Abolishing shivery nt onoe, und the latter lean towards the plan of Presi dent Lincoln, which is to break cp the in btitutiou graduully.
