New York News. Just out of Their Hole?. The Petersburg bules, of Wednesday, says the serenity of thc office-of the com manding officer of this post was agitated on yesterday, by the apparition of four CjnlederatesoliJiers, who gave their names and .'. descriptive lists"' as follows : Anthony Monkas, Co. E. ?2d Georgia Infantry. 3d Army Corps, A. N. V. Thomas Wells, ditto. James Brinberter, ditto. Allan Tewksberry, 43d Louisiana, ditto. A more ragged set of mortals had nev er appeared before the Colonel during all the dealings he has ever had with the ."ragged rebels'" of Lee's anny. Tewks berry was a sort of -.walking illustration of original patchwork. His clothing had been tied, and sowed, and stuck together with string, and thread, and thorns, until there did not appear a solitary square inch upon it which had not been tied up, 63wed up, or stuck np, in some way or other. His companions were not quite as badly off, one having a pair of blue Yankee pantaloons, with only a half a dozen rents in it; another hiding the rag gedness of his grey pants with a flowing, though ribBonry, Yankee overcoat, and the other making his deccucv apparent by concealing the defects ot' his upper garments with an old oil-cloth fly, awfully bedaubed with mud. Tewksberry stated to thc Colonel that he and his party stopped on the Appomat tox, about seven miles above the city, af tcr-t'tic evacuation of Petersburg, for the purpose, at first, of resting -r that they stayed longer than they expected, and were cut off". They then made a vow to li.-e on that spot, and never go hom? or give up until thc Confederacy was com pletely annihilated. They sought out a cave in the, banks of the river, which, at that point, is very rocky, and, siter some little industry, succeeded in erecting for themselves a most comfortable little home. Here they lived upon fish .-md game and occasionally roasting ears dur ing all last summer,and upon bread made of corn they had gathered from the corn fields, and an occasional pig they found j without fi mother, in their rambles during | the winter. This spring and summer they lived as they did last summer, but recently, hearing from an old negro man that the Confederacy had undoubtedly "gone up," they concluded to quit the barbarian life and surrender. They march ed to the city yesterday morning, with their muskets and accoutrements, stacked arms in front of headquarters, sent in .wor,ji that thnv wee thc remnant of the ! firm/ bf fiortnern Virginia ond that they i wished" to fcttWellrJef tipnli the cotidttlbtia accorded lo thc mn'n b?dti ?o}. Milton cordially assented io theil* rcijtlestj gave them transportation lo their homes, and bade them .adieu. ' The illustrious four roamed about town for a short time, had new suits of clpthing given them, and after being made about half drunk, emt-:-ked on the Southern train for their homes.

J low TO Ol?T UV H?r'll1l9HtCli,-~A3 (lb most evvfy one in lilis heated weather fda More of lesn dull, on getting up of mornings, We publish the following advice, which we find in ali exchange: Every person who toils dally at nliy kind of labor, recpiirirtg great physical pi mento! exertion, ^should be extremely careful to practice a regular system of j ablution at the close of each day's work, j Sometimes a person maj be so complete- '. fe )? exhausted as to render this anything jut an inviting performance : yet by its imission a great deal of the refreshment which i he hours of repose aro designed Lo impart, is lost. To bc cleanly, is a strictly religious duly, and is absolutely essential toa sound and refreshing slum ber; hence the labor of keeping one's person clean is amply repaid by the elas ticity which follows from nightly ablu tions before retiring. Heed this advice, and the reader will sleep soundly*, disre gaJJ^it-go to bed unwashed-and you will risc in the morning unrefreshed, with feelings ot lassitude which the exertions of the day will hardly be able to remove. Friin thc Richmond Times. Cotton a Curse. We begin to think that cotton is a nui sance and ought to bc abated. It has brought us into n world of trouble, thc end of which we have not yet seen. If we had not been a cotton-producing peo ple we should probably have baen pei mitted to have seceded peaceably, and no one would have thought us wo th lighting for. But, unfortunately for us, we could not, like thal animal pu'-?"cf. by the hun ters for the rare perfume which it carried with it, cast olf cotton and thus save our selves. If wc could have got got rid of cotton and slavery, wc s! ou!d have re moved thal powerful incentive which now actuales ihe hordes of Federal plunderers who seem lu regard the South as the gol den goose to i>e killed for her eggs. With out cotton we should not lun e had Union (jener?is liberating slaves with one hand :tjid stealing ibo?products of their labor with the oilier. Nor would wc now have had adiiJL-al conspiracy striving through tariffs and ail kinds ?of pjundcr schemes to oppress Southern whiles just in propor tion as they hypocritically profess" to ben efit the Southern blacks. Thc disposition recently manifested by Congress, and not yet aban doned, to im pose the heavies* burdens of taxation on ?in impoverisher section, should liegin to ojien the eyes of our people as to the means by which to meet this extortionate spirit, fhero are some advantages in. being poor, and if .-onie future tax upon colton shall diminish, its production, though we shall bc a poorer people, yet wc shall to a much greater extent than now bc exempt from spoliation and per secution. There are two very good rea sons why cotton should continually de crease in cultivation ; first, the worthless ness of free negroes in tho colton growing States as reliable laborers; secondly, thc disposition to tax cotton to death, which the Congress, which has just adjourned, exhibited. Let us try very little cotton crops for a year or two. Wc are confident it will have a very wholesome influence in na tional politics. We have enough provo cation for thc experiment. Wc have very urgent need for breadstufTs, and .wc hold that, it, is more necessary to feed a mau* than to clothe him. Wheat and corn bring very remunerative pri?es, and as wc arc nearer to thc sea than thc grain growing States of thc North, wc can'afford better to ruisc them for exportation. Jf our Northern neighbors want cotton let them come down Ssiith and enter into partnership with the Freedmen's Bureau in its cultivation. By this means we shall receive their labor and capital, and when they gel herc they will discard " hu manity" and "philanthropy," and make ('lillee work as he never did before. As INTERESTING CONVERSATION.-Thc foi lowing characteristic conversation was overheard ti few evenings since by some ladies of this town. Two colored ladies met affectionately and thc following dia logue ensued : A. ': How you do ? aint sec you dis long time." n B. " I aint been well, my healt been bad ali dc summer. Tell aunt Becky I would been for lo see tim if aint been sick." A. " How you chile]" C. " Ki ! been gone up de spout long ago wid small pox. Small pox carry um clean up." A. 11 Boy or.gal ?" B. " Boy : I berry glad he dead-times berry hard." With a smile B bade A. adieu." Sueh is the love of offspring in many, of j the'freed women, that we are safe in sta ting thai, fey, if any children are raised, and .everything seems to indicate that thc days of lins unhappy race of people are being numbered. We would suggest that the Freedmen's Bureau adopt a system of education that would stimulate the bump cd' philoprogenilivencss.- George town Times. Woy EARLY DIDN'T TAKE WASHING TON' ('ITV.-The .credit of saving the city is due alone to a bull and a burrel of whis key. Said bull was thc property of Mr. George W. Riggs, the. banker, and was much esteemed for his many excellent qualities and intrinsic usefulness. The ! whiskey was a barrel of choice old Bur bot), foi'ljd in Mr. Montgomery Blair's wine-cellar. When dubai Karly and his rebel host reached thc defences of Wash ington they were both hungry and thirsty, and went to searching the houses of the. neighborhood for whatever was good. The bull was discovered and slaughtered, and the rebel Generals and their staffs banqueUed on him. And there was great rejoicii?g when the barrel of whiskey was captured and brought forth. When these rebel gentleman had filled ihci^-slomachs on the flesh of the bull, they had such a fondness for thc whiskey that they allow ed it to steal away their brains. Indeed, ihcy gave themselves up to feasting and drinking, and quite forgot that they had been sent to capture Washington, whjch they might GAsily have done, for it was at that time in a defenceless condition. Thc delay caused hy this riotous conduct on the part of Early and his subordinate Generals gave thc old Sixth corps time to come up, when they scampered back across the Potomac, and the siege was raised-National Republican. /A mau in Hartford advertised recently thal, on receipt of a certain sum, he would, by return mail, instruct any applicant how to make afortune. His instructions were :-'. Peddle cigars, half Havana and half h>une made, as I did. and always be ready to pick up a stray chicken." A lady made her husband a present of a'si I vcr cup with an angel at the bottom ; and when she filled for him he used to drink it to the bottom, when she asked him why he drank every drop? "Be. 1 cause," ducky, ho said, " I long to see tho dear little angel." " Upon which she had. ri devil engraved nt the bottom, and he drank of the 3ame, and she again asked him-the question. ,; Why," he replied, ? because I won't leave the old devil a drop." , " Make Your ?wn Soap!
