(Continued on third page.) BcTcIfltioaary Anecdote. At the battle of Yorktown, while Washington's aids were issuing their or ders along the line, a man was discoverd a short distance from it who presented rather a grotesque appearance, being dressed in the coarse cloth worn at that time by the poorest class, with an otter rap, the shape of which resembled the steeple of a meeting-house and a broad leather apron. His equipments, consis ting of a small woodchuck's skin, sewed together in the form of a bag, and partly filled with buck idiot, an ox horn filled with powder, and an old rusty gun, which measured seven feet eight inches from the muzzle to the end cf the breech, and which had probably laid in the smoke ever since the landing of the Pilgrims. One of the aids passing him in course of his rounds, asked him to what regiment he belonged. 'I belong to no regiment,' said the fellow, after discharging his long mus ket. A few moments after, the aid rode by again, and seeing the fellow very busy, and sweating with exertion, he again in quired to what regiment he belonged. To no regiment,' was the answer, at the same time levelling his piece at a redcoat who was preparing to fire, but who dropped dead before he raised his run. 'To what company do you belong V To no company.' 'To what battalion do you belong ?' 'To no battalion.' 'Then where the devil do yoa belong, or who are you fighting for V 'Dang ye,' said the fellow, I don't belong anywhere am fighting on my oven hock. Asr Old Flag Raised. The New Orleans Era of the 4ih says : "We learn that Mr. Cuthbert Bullitt, collector of the port, will have raised in front iof his residence on St, Charles street, this morning, at sunrise, the iaeri tical flag which was left flying ia the breeze during the attempt to illuminate the city in honor of the secession cf Louis ana, 1SG1. This flag was the last of the stars and stripes seen. in public from that time until Admiral Farragut's arrival in April, 1SG2, and, we learn, has not been used since.

Bat it is the fortune of war that much evil must be done that good may come, and it is im possible, hi the heat cf conflict, to discriminate. The death of an able-bodied negro is certain ly a loss and an evel, but ascllier m not to stop to estimate a negro's value whn he meet3 hri in battle, for if he devotes himself to capturing negroes Yankee bullets are all tho tinl? threatet ing him. Besides, it is a matter c: doubt 'whether it would be to our intre.-t lo keep thesc'negro soldiers, wheather Northern freemen or Southern slaves, for use as slaves in the future. There are perhaps many of them, seduced or forced from their owners, who migat In come useful and docile slaves again. But the large majority, including all the free negroes of the North, are a despa rate, worthless set of diseased, : mind polluted wretches, who could scarcely become again useful and desirable ser vants among us ; and even those who are better inclined have become debauchedv" and lost value, by contacj with the Yan kees. , Ou the whole, tHe.
