Our (Blokles 1 ) Brigade suffered severely In the recent tattles, and Its once goodly proportions are now sadly enrolled., The loss In the command was about five hoaoref—Just about one half the efferave foroe when we landed at Alexandria, on our way to our fields of action.

They have battled valiantly for the Cause of right and justice In this unholy rebellion, . and they-deserve the gratitude of a generous aid patrio- tic people. They are bully boys, too, and lovers of .'sport of all kinds, and that's one reason I have written so much about them.

War and disease b 1 — had a.most disastrous effect with us, and reduced ranks to a mere fraotlori. Ever slnoe we left Alexandria (the 17th of la»t Uarcb) we have had a very tough time ot It—we fought and dug our way'to within four miles of the rebel Capitol, until lolroumstances, of whloh yon are well acquainted, compelled us to fall baok to Harrison's Landing. After remaining k*re some tBree or four weeks, it was thought belt to leave the Peninsula altogether, and go to the assistance of Pope, on the north ofBtoh- mmirt. It was a most imposing sight, : everything was douu iu.the most perfect order.: ..We had taken good care to get all our siege guns sent down the river—hot one was left. Ou'knapsaoks were sent In advance of 'us, so we were enabled to maroh In the lightest possible order. The hospitals were ill emptied of their slok and wounded, who were dlf patched'down the river on transports; finally all was In readiness, and the. long, weary maroh oommencedji.atjjnret lt'was thought the enemy might pursue us as they did ftom Richmond, but no ( they bad another'object in viewj for, before we had got-around to theieflls'tance of Pops, we found that they had hurled all their, force against him; .the. indomitable "Stonewall" had got in his rear,-.wblqh gave work to us; we'chased ftn for several days, "and overtook him at Bnll Bun,, where we gave him battle; here the rebelB brought their entire foroe to bear, against ns, and alter fighting them ten days, we were compelled to fall back on Centrevllle; ho new troopB Csme to assist us. Franklin's odrpscame up too late on the afternoon of the second day to render any. effective service—so we were overpowered,. While we remained hefe,.It was. feared the enemy might flank ha, and get between the army'and Washington, so It Is deemed advisable for the entire army to fall back to Alexandria, whloh was commenced, bnt scarcely had we gone three miles from Centrevllle, when we heard our advsnoe engaging the-enemy; (this, was on the'let of Sept.) It bad now .commenced raining in torrents. Well, the enemy had got around, and were trying to flank ns, but In thlB they were foiled, for our troops resisted tbem with the utmost desperation, and drove them baok with great slaughter; night boo?, closed on the scene, and quiet reigned supreme^ we remained on the battle field till three the following morning, when the line of maroh was again renewed, the enemy being too badly beaten to disturb us again. This last battle was only about three hours' duration, yet we lost many of our beet officers, prominent among whom was our Division-General Kearney, who was shot while dosing np a' gap in our lines; he was unquestionably thk best. General in, MoClellah's army, and esteemed^ all; our Major fell alBO, in this engagement, besides many others, whose loss we deeply deplore. There has now been, two campaigns against the rebel Capitol, both failures; there is something, rotten some- where—our Government Is too slow la its deliberations- why were we not reinforced while we lay within four miles of Btohmond f The enemy were permitted to con- centrate their entire force from the Southwest here, while we oonld not get' a man. "What was the oonsequenoef The enemy, turned our right, got around to the White House, and out off our supplies, so we had to fall baok to Harrison's Landing, and then oommenced our reverses. But enough of this—the people of the North must bestir themselves if they wish to suppress this rebellion—it Is no boys' play—they must act, not talk. The "fuss and feathers," talk and gibberish of our Congress and Sprees reminds me of the first scene in the first act of "King Henry. VL"s— x ^T wonT T!irn - . .

From the Tendon Morning Kews, 20th ult.. The amusements of a nation have generally been held to give a good reflection of Its character. The progress of a people toward^ civilization—their grade of , refine- ment and morality—is generally calculated In some measure by the same standard.- In Dahomey it is a grand speotacle to see ten 'thousand 'human victims slaughtered—their life-blood made to flow into and fill a large reservoir excavated in the earth. The egotism of this epoeh loves to mark with pious blame the gladia- torial combats .of anolent Borne; while the self-satisfied sanotlmohlousncsa of evangelical England, designates as a mark of Popish Ignorance and slavery, the bull-fights of Spain.- An lnoldent has juet. occurred In England which brings suddenly into stsrtllng^romlnsnoy. the sports and pastimes of that most supernr land in tills superior age :— . A woman, by name Sellns TOung, more commonly styled "the Female Blor41n,".has : met ,a horibl* fate, She lives as yet, 'tis true—that is, she lingers In murder- *ous torture, bnt death is momentarily expected, and Is prayed- for as a merolful release. The scene of this ghastly sight, was a British speotaole of amusement. Night after night, day alter day, hundreds and hun- dreds, of thousands had feverishly feasted on the feel- ing that danger, so frightful was so near the victim; and when it was so often braved so fearfully, yet safely, the pleasure began to fall—the performance was too safe. Sellna ToUng, the "Female Blondln." bb the title implies,' professed to be a rival of that athlete whose feats, nave amazed the world, and amassed a fortune for himself. As long as his marvelous performances wereoonflned to the New World, Incredulity greeted their relation in the old. The stories of Blondln crossing the rivef St. Lawrenoe on a rope strained from cliff to ollff, beneath Niagara, pushing, a wheelbarrow; oarrylng a man on his back, oarrylng a stove, oookfng an omelette, tx:, were for a long time regarded as Munchausen tales from the land of wooden nutmegs. But when, with keen appreolatloq of the greatness of an Anglo-Saxon people, be sought the. shops of parent England, and when the inoredlble was Sroved to be a veritable reality, gold' showered upon londlh, until his fortune promised to rival Monte Obrlsto's fabulous wealth. • Thousands of pounds were accumulated by him; the reward he reoelved from a civilized British "publlo for so pre-eminently Bmuslng them.., Thousands. and thousands of pounds—fortune untold for > a Blondln from a grateful nation; at whose hand the penniless widow and offspring of a starved philanthropist, artist, or poet, oan sometimes command 'fifty pounds a year. Snooass so wondrous could not fall , to attraot competi- tors. What Blondln oonld do, others might do. The wealth showered upon him, others would fein share. The Female Blondln soon appeared. She had bnt' to con vlooe.the publlo that death, in still more ippalllng shape, was still and mere closely dared, and euooess was oer- would seem, *as by no means nnsuooesfiral. Some of her performances were really marvelous. . > : On Thursday night she was performing at Highbury Barn Gardens, a place lu the suburbs of London. ' Shortly after ten o'olock," Bays the account befoie'.ns, she ascended one of the Btages couneoted with the rope, whloh Is about 100 feet in height, and by the aid of blue fires, and attired In a suit or armor, proceeded oh her perilous voyage in'mid-air. She reaohed the eastern etsge In safety, and again returned, performing the feat of wheeling' the barrow a third time. She oroased the rope covered with a sack, and then oommenoed her final tour to the startihg-point, In the mldBt of fireworks dis- charged from each end of the balancing pole she oarrled In her hands. '. "She arrived within about twenty feet of the Western, stage, when the Catharine wheels at each end of the pole had reached, their greatest-velocity, and at whlqh': mo- ment reports-.were heard, and stars of various hues'were emitted." At. this point the spectators observed':that something unusual was the matter wro the performer; but it Is more,, than' probable they were of opinion It might be some new.ahd , ingenious devloe to simllato an acoldent, as with the male Blondln. Perhaps', however, some few suspeoted the truth, as they saw the hapless woman sway and stagger for awhile, the balancing pole in her hands oscillating violently. A ory arose that she was falling, and suddenly the pole fell from her bonds, she herself toppling over. For an instant the,poor orea- tnrewas seen to oling to the.rope; but In a moment more she was^jeen descending head foremost into the midst of the lofty .trees beneath her. The people rushed to this spot, and there she lay at the foot of a tree, completely doubled'up, and apparently lifeless. Mournful and most miserable of fates; and for a woman tool It was the shadowing of this scene—the closeness of its probability—that constituted Its unparal- leled attraotlveness and "popularity in' America and England-"' Were there no danger—no likelihood of this result to poor Sellna Toung. thrBrltlah public would have relegated her to obsourlty- and poverty. From gazing on the mangled form of that poor Viotim, as shs lay there writhing In her agony,'hundreds turned Into "the great hall," where another venturous hazard be- tween life and death was being gone through by one "Leotard." v And when In the midst of bis performances, hearing .of: the poor oreature'fl fate outside, he ^ost his nerve, and fell, the rapturous orowd applauded and en- oored him. This story is one of our own day—of the passing hour, It is a true episode of the sports and amusements of that great nation whloh undertakes'to export religion and morality to the world, and admonlasJlSpaiilsh bullfights and Roman oarnivale. It Ib a remarkable faot that the only oounlry in whloh the Blondln speotaole was a fail- ure, was Ireland; It takes a superlorpeople to have taBtes like those to wbioh he caters. We.could appre- ciate Handel, whenJlB '-Messiah", could not fine a.hear- ing in Bngiand; but we were too sunk in Popish. Igno- rance to appreoiate'suoh speotaoles as that amidst whloh Sellna Young has%een 1 '"Butchered to make a British holiday." GOT, 'BBI AT' 11IS GAMB. "Keerde," sayn Ablmeleoh Slocum, when he first visited New York and Btruok, for the. first time in his life, a full grown Boyal Bengal faro bank; against wbioh he was un- able to "make 'em stick," "keerde ain't my forte. As every man of any merit mnstexoel at some particular avocation we are induced to relate a aurrent anecdote of a well known orlmlnal attorney of San Francisco, who visited Lrs Angeloe lately. Going up from San Pedro to the "puc bia"ln the stage, were two showily dressed gents, who, with the Colonel, had the entire stage' to themselves. They were very affable and greatly ingratiated them- selves into the favor of the Colonel, who was induced to put up at the same hotel with his newly found acquain- tances. After tea the gentlemen sat on the porob. and talked till dark, when they adjourned in-doors and com- menced a game ot euobre, "just for.the fun of the thing." This Boon grew tiresome and it was proposed to ohange It toAoker, a quarter "ante," "just to make ltinteresting. 1 ' -liPy, played for some time, and at last the Colonel began tS.dlsaover that he was being made the vlotlm of & "double team" who oontrived to outhold him every time; so, Oonoludlog it had gone on long enough, he withdrew from the game, not broke, though considerably bent. The next day, the two gentlemen took leave of the Colonel, saying that they were going out-to purchase a portion of the A*Ita Banch. A fortnight wore away and ho sign of the reputed, capitalists, when one day it was .bruited about that two men had been arrested for horsestealing and lodged.ln jalL Shortly afterwards the Colonel was notified .that these, persons wished to avail themselvesof his servioes, for their defenoe, •'He accor- dingly went down to the jail and who should he espy The above Is another portrtlt from life, and hot by »n rerdrawn.
