Running.?The ,, Columbia Carolinian gets from a private letter r, the following spirited description of a lato pas- g sago through the blockade. The writer,., as a t passenger, was a part of what he describes : ? The llattic, Capt. Lebbv, left Nassau on Sun- " day, the 20th inst., for Wilmington, bntowing to a heavy gale of wiud from \V. N: W., failed to make her usual quick time." On Tuesday, j just before daylight, she was brought to anchor j, about forty miles from the bar, where her Capt. hoped to lay till dark, unobserved by the oneni}'. J. The morning had scarcely dawned, however, when she was doscried by two of tlio blockading squadron, who immediately gave chase.?1 ir?n:?i: 1 1 1 -? < ?c xuv xxnuiiu auppuu nur niiuuor cuain, anil. took the desperate chance of attempting to reach the 1 tyar. In a second she was speeding across the water like a thing of b.fc,tlte ..Yankees in hot pursuit, "So you really hope to reach the bar?" r I asked, the Captain^ as the shot and shell came whizzing about us in every direction. "I will 1 citlier reach it,'*, was the cooJ rejoinder, "or die ]( game". The struggle was to put ourselves under the guns of the fort, which soon came in sight. "More steam, boys?" shouted the Cap- 0 -< tain, "and w'c will be safe." -A little longer, a and we were near enough to sec that the batteries of the fort were manned. Last of all ti earne tlie shout firm the artillerists on the fort j and along the shore, as wc glided across the bar, | perfectly unscathed, after an exciting chase of ^ five hours. It was the greatest feat-in blockade- j running on record. - n Movements of'Blockade IIunners.? The v papers of Nassau in the Bahamas, dated Nov. : 19tb, give the following movements, at that c fort of rebel blockade runners : t On the 31st ultimo the steamers Chicora s and Syren, from Charleston, and the Arm- *strong,from Wilmington, arrived ; on the 7th c instant the Coquett and Druid, from Charleston^ and the Little Uatlie, from Wilmington, d arrived ; 011 the 10th the General Clinch arrived from Charleston. The Willio* the Wisp returned to port on the 8th, rnd the Wild Ito- .c xer on the 12th, the latter having been chased by a Federal cruiser. The Owl and Stormy ^ Petrel, from Bermuda, and the Plarinigan, t. from Jialitax, had also arrived, having been * chased oft' Wilmington. The Bertha, Julia ( Armstrong, Ptarmigan, Little JIaftio, Owl and v Beatrice had sailed to run the blockade. ol CuriOus Historical Fact.?During the ?' trublcs in the reign of Charles I, a country girl came to London in search of a place as a ser hi vant maid, but not succeeding, she hired her le self to carry, out beer from a warehouse,- and c; was one of those called tub women. The a? brewer observing a good-looking girl in this ai low occupation, took her in his family as a ser- rc vant, and after a short time married her. lie died while she was a young wonmn, and left her thfi bulk of his fortune. The btisincss of y\ brewing dropped, and Mr. Ilydc was rccommended to the young woman as a skillful law- rl ycr to arrange her husband's affairs.

Owing to this doprcciaion tho necessaries of life and articles of all kinds have an up to the most extravagant prices.

Yankee News.?AAVashigton correspondent of the Timts telegraphs that Sherman has 50,000 infantry and 0000 cavalry, and givca the following outline of his expedition : After arriving at Macon he will prohahly go j to Milledgeville, where lie will divide his army, sending'a part of it to Savannah and a part to Augusta. lie will lortify the latter place, and after receiving^ supplies up the Savannah-river* lie will bo able to move on Columbia or Charleston. The programme, if carried out successfully, completely demolishes the rail road system of the State of Georgia. The Western {yd Atlantic, running from Chattanooga to Atlanta, one hundred ami thirty-eight.miles, is almost totally destrojed. It will take a year to rebuild it, with no inconvenience in obtaining iron. The Georgia Kail Koad, (a Statc'institution as is also the Wostein and' Atlantic, and to which the Confederacy is indebted many millions of dollars,) running from Atlanta to Augusta, one hundred and seventy-one miles, is destroyed from Atlanta to Covington, forty-one miles. The occupation of Augusta will add to its destruction.

Most curious of all curiosities and wonders, everybody crying down Om' mony, and yet all endeavoring to amass cvorv cent possible, and permitting as little as possible, to leave their hands. It is not spent one fourth as liberally as gold and silver was. This cant is all humbug.
