A Victim of Cbkemony.?In 1783 George

the late Duke andDnchess ofChandos. Corn,

The baby, overwhelmed by mountains of lace,
lay ill a dead faint. Her mother was so tender
on the point of etiquette that she would
not let the little incident trouble a ceremony
at which a King and Queen were about to endow
her child with the name of Georginna
. Charlotte! As Cornwallis gave back the infant
to her nurse, he remarked that it was the
quietest baby ho had ever held. I'oor victim
of ceremony ! It was not quite dead, but dying;
in a few unconscious hours it calmly slept
away into an immortal waking.

Process of Mining.?The process of mining
consists in running an excavation or burrow
through the ground to a point directly underneath
the work to he blown up. Having so
, burrowed to the proper point, the size of th$
excavation is increased to the capacity required.
Such an amount of gunpowder as will be requisite
to blo-v up the work overhead is then
placed in this receptacle, a train or tuse is laid
to the iTioutfi or starting place, and when reerly
this is ignited, the fire soon running to the
secreted magazine, exploding it and utterly destroying

militia anil artillery at Macon at once to the latter
place. Tho dispatch statod that it was rumored that
a largo force had left StiKttMAX's armj' and were advancing
towards Millcdgcville. We give the nows a?
wo hoard it. Tho troops and'artillery have been font
as directed. Whether tljo rumor of tho raid . is well

Tun Tlis as cut Flan.?Tho Charleston Courier

gentleman now in Richmond, gives us the gratifying
nssurauce?which roaches Ub also frorft other soinv.es,
public and private?that,the accession of Mr. Tnr.Nhclm
to the Treasury has improved and invigorated
the tone of pubhc confidence.
The following special new measures are announced
an about to bo instituted by the Treasury Department,
looking primarily towards a mair.tcnanco of government,
without issues of notes to swell the volume of
currency:
I. All Foreign supplies to bo paid for in bills drawn
against our own cotton.
II. Cotton purchases to bo paid by soiling sterling,
exchange to replace coat.
III. i>oa|jstic purchases of all' kinds, as far as possible,
to bo paid in "certificatOB of indebtedness" and
of ''loan tm hypothecation"
A large debt due to one of tho States ' has already
boon arranged in this way to mutual satisfaction.
IV. Treasury notes now legally extant ftrul recalled
under oporntions oftho loan or otherwise, to bo reissued
when necessary to meet payments not otlierwiso
provided for in this plan.
V. The olu notes to be recalled for certificates bearing
four per cent., interest and payable on demand after
ninety ?d:iys. *
VI. 'I'ho receipt by anticipation of coupon?! for certain
purposes of (iovorurnent dues.
This expedient has been officially announced and
promises to work well. It desorves and demands tho
consideration ofafl who have deemed themselves hitherto
compelled to pay ruinous rates for gold.
Off AgAr,v.?I'rom passengers who came
over yesterday morning from Macon wo learn
that an official dispatch bad been received
there stating that another raid of formidable
preparations had left Sherman's lines. The
report places the number at ten thousand. Wo
trust, that our people and authorities, instructed
by Stoncman's late demonstration, will be prepared
to receive them. Wo should be constantly
on the lookout for such expeditions so
long ns Sherman retains his present position.?
