semanship when he visited the academy in 1860. His horseback riding was marvellous, and went down from class to class as a sort of tradition, and long years after he had met a soldier's death the cadets would relate to gaping plebes how Pelham rode. In 1861, when the laughing blue of the Southland sky was overcast by the dark cloud of civil strife and Alabama called to her sons in every clime to come to her defence, Pelham resigned his cadetship at the academy and started South. At New Albany, Ind., he was intercepted by the Federal authorities, for it was known there by some one who reported the fact that he had left West Point to join the Confederate army. He was placed under surveillance and not allowed to cross the river to Louisville. However, he accepted the first opportunity to elude the authorities and went up to Jeffersonville. Around his stay at Jeffersonville and subsequent escape there is woven a pretty little romance, which, whether true or not, is worth relatin

E. H. Walker, produce dealer in Faneull Hall Market, Boston, having expressed himself friendly to the South, was mobbed last Saturday night. He was half drowned with water, compelled to pay $100 to the war fund, and then let go. A young lady has discovered the reason why married men, from the age of thirty years and upwards, are more or less bald: they scratch the hair off in dismay at their wives' long milliner's bills! The Federal authorities at New Albany, Indiana, have seized a barrel of starch belonging to a man in that city, as contraband of war. It is stated that Senator Wade, of Ohio, has gone to Fort Monroe as a private, "and proposes to make a tour of inspection." The mammoth fountain at the Park, New York, has been transformed into a bathing establishment for the troops quartered there. Hon. Dennett H.

lled and twenty wounded. The explosion was of a remarkable character. The boiler-head was driven out only from the upper part, and doubled over in its centre, having the appearance of a circular book cover half closed.--When the explosion took place this boiler-head was only partly bent over, consequently the steam and water escaped upwards in great force, and broke the floor of the saloon and damaged some of the state-rooms. As the steam and water gained egress, the pressure against the boiler-head caused it to fall over as already described, and then the steam and water took a horizontal course, dashing in the greatest fury aft over the cotton bales, where some forty-five persons, deck passengers and all hands, all Irishmen, were sleeping. Glidden Marks, of New Albany, Ind., was killed, and Henry Foster, of Memphis, badly scalded. The killed were chiefly deck hands. G. W. Scurry, of Nashville, the barber and Charles Hugger, of the same place, leaped overboard and were drowned.

ot in cipher he must have received them. One from Gen. Hovey, commandant of this post, in reply to a question from Gen. Halleck, stated the precise number of our available men in Memphis and their exact ___location. Riot and excitement at New Albany, Ind. The ill-feeling between the whites and blacks which has lately been exhibited at Toledo, Columbus, and Cincinnati, Ohio, and Chicago, Illinois, has also begun to ripen in Indiana. We find the following in the Louisville papers of Wednesday: An affray occurred in New Albany, Ind., on Monday between a party of white men and some negroes, in which John Locke was killed and Charles Lansford was wounded in the leg. Both were white boys. Four notorious negroes, named Johnson, Simms, Pell, and Price, were arrested, charged with being connected with the shooting. A good deal of excitement existed in New Albany on Tuesday, which grew out of the affair, and two or three innocent negroes were assaulted on the street by white men.

directions to avoid further trouble. Riot anticipated in Washington — Arrests for disloyalty — arrival of contrabands. Dispatches from Washington, dated August 4th, give the following news from the Federal Capital: The Star, of to-day, says: We are informed that the negroes of this city are organizing secret associations for the purpose of protecting themselves, in anticipation of a riot and mob by the laboring classes of whites similar to those which lately occurred in New Albany, Indiana, Cincinnati, Ohio, and other places. It is also alleged that a number of clerks in the Government employ are aiding the negroes in perfecting their organization. Our informant is a colored man of this city. Arrests are frequently made in Washington of offensive disloyalists. Dr. Camp, a dentist, was arrested last night for boisterous secession language, and boasting of having communication with Richmond. His effects were searched, and, among other things, a letter from Gen. B

Exodus. --The New Albany (Ind.) Ledger states that there has been a perfect exodus of the colored population from that city, especially the males.--The recent riotous proceedings there have had the effect to create a perfect panic among them, and every one who can do so is leaving. Some thirty families have left so far, and a large number of young persons who are engaged upon the river, but have made New Albany their homes, have changed their residences to Kentucky.

The food Question. --Serious Apprehensions in Yankeedom.--The New Albany (Indiana) Ledge indulges some rather serious apprehensions about the shortness of the coming crops and the probable scarcity of food, which we copy: We presume there are few thoughtful persons who have not reflected upon the possibility we may say the probability — of a short supply of the necessary articles of food during the present year and the next. Unwelcome as may be the suggestion, we may as well look at it in the face and do all in our power to avert the threatened catastrophe. Up to 183 we had for several years been favored with exuberant crops of grains, fruits, and meats. In 1860 we had a fine corn and hay crop, a portion of which was transported to the South during the autumn and winter previous to the commencement of hostilities, but still leaving an immense surplus in the hands of our producers and merchants. The crops of 1861 and 1862 were also unusually good, but in 1863, though the
