Mr. Campbell, a country gentleman about leaving a house in the mountains, told his man Donald to bring down everything out of the bedroom. Shortly after, going out into the hall, he found that the fairiifffi creature had removed everything in the shape of furniture from the room, and made a pile of fenders, fire-irons, •hairs, carpets drc., in the entry. On another occasion he told Donald, “Carry any ladies who may call up into the parlor.” A few minutes afterward Donald appeared un the stairs, very red in the face, struggling with a dowager whom he was attempting willy-nilly to lug up bodily according to literal orders.About midnight, of Monday a fortnight ago, a sol diet* going along the embankment which leads to the North Kent Railway station, in London, dropped what he supposed to be a florin, a id thinking the embankment was but two feet high, leaped down to recover the coin. The height proved to be forty feet, but he i miraculously escaped death, and discovered, he had jumped for a halfpenny.On the new Sultan’s accession to the throne, his mother pu»chased the most beautiful slave woman she could find in Constantinople, loaded her with jewels, and presented her to Abdul Aziz. “Take that woman away!” said the .Sultan sternly, “I have one wife, whom 1 love. Let me hear nothing more of such presents!'Count Cavour's Confessor, Brother Giacomo, visited the Pope soon after the statesman’s death. On learning that the Count hud made no recantation Pius grew exceedingly angry, and threatened the monk with the terrors of the Holy Office unless he either reported that Cavour lud recanted, or signed an acknowor signedlodgment dint he had failed in his duty as con-‘Wouldlessor. The monk’s only answer was: that all Christians could die like Cavour!”Beauiilgaud—Temfera.nce.—A letter from . Kickaioud to the N. Y. Tribune says of the Southern idol:Beauregard, more than any other Southern General, seems to excel in 'he handling of these peculiar elements of Southern troops; a ditching IE tie Creole, standing thoroughly upon ins dignity with strangers and equals, he has the knack of ingratiating himself with the soldiers bv the mingled . iniplicily, naturalness, and imp ' losity of his manner. He impresses ono rather as a soldier of action and sagjeity than of groat and comprehensive mind; as a man of thought and intellect he seems to be inferior to Johnston, but he blends S. mi hen i tire with Northern smartness; his features are mobile; his eye sparkling; his motions lt;1 euote restless activity, while his countenance indicates steady composure. He has the coolness of a Yankee and the impulsiveness of a Creole, and looks like across between the two. He was lucky at Sumter, and lucky at Bull's Run. He has the advantage of this prestige of success, and the li tie man is the idol of the soldiers and the hero of the South.The same letter says:Drinking spirit-* or wine is not permitted by ■ iL '■ 1 ’ ■ ~ ■*Beauregard, the Generals and officers affordingan example of temperance. This temperancepiesystem lias undoubtedly contributed much totperance. btedly cithr:efficiency of the troops. It is fortunate for rhe health of the troops that they are not permitted fo indulge in liquors, especially as there are many other causes which are likely to injure it, particularly at Manassas and Bull's Run, where an intolerable stench, emanatingSecretary Cam«iSuch ft want of confidence in this w T a ia manifested all over the country that wQtbinI his removal is demanded by the most weighty considerations. We know nothing as to the truth of the charges against him; but whether they are true or false, ia a matter of do consequence in existing circumstances. The universal want of confidence is a Sufficient cause for his removal. In ordinary times this might not be sufficient, but in such times as thretwsit is absolutely necessary that the War Department should have the confidence of the people.t WJ'Wthe $3 jthat while the Becese ^ arepreachkig peace, ra nerd, tbyt*ure' doing aft' j their State in the horrors of wariThecitement in»» Georgetown, tAgw Lmifldhtas become fired______ _ .vicinity.

People are called upon to give up their lives for the good of the country, and why should it be con sidered unjust for an individual to be called upon to give up his office? Mr. Cameron has no claim upon the office. If he accepted it in a proper spirit, he accepted it for the good of his country; and if the good of his country demands that he should resign the office, he should do so without hesitation If he did cot accept the office in n proper spirit, the sooner ; he is forced out of it. the better.

Two or three companies having gone from Eastern Tennessee into Kentucky to assist Lincoln, the neutrality of Kentucky has been violat' d by th.se troops, and Dover: nor Harris should inform Gov. \lagoffin of the fact, so he can either arrest them or have them driven out.

The pundit concludes that Manassa is more correct and certainly more euphonious, but as Beauregiud and JoLnstuu have used the word Manassas, in their address to the army, so it will probably glt; down i.o po-terity on the pages of history. The name originated thus; An old Jew, named Manasseh, kept, a small store and tavern in the Mountain Gap. Travelers, in the early part of the century, used to make “Old Maiiasseh’s” a regular stopping place. In the course of time it was thought proper to build a railroad from Manasseh’s Gap io the Alexandria and Gordons’/!lie Railroad, and the junction where the two roads joined was therefore,called Mauasseh’s .1 unction. The legislator, in drawing up the bill incorporating the railroad, made a blunder in the -‘pelling of the word, and to him will he due the responsibility of sending down to all time, on thescioll of fame, the now bloody name of “Manassas.”from jsays:Two hundred and odd Union refugees arrived here yesterday froiu East Te nncs.stbylcav-ing their families and property behind.
