It is a misfortune for any person to stutter, but peculiarly disadvantageous to a soldier. Sergoant Butterworth, of the N. Y.

In commenting upon the skillful and comprehensive preparations at head-quarters, ihe New York Commercial Advertiser says: "In this y 9 ematic, gradual but sure hemming in of his adversary, the genius of Winfield Scott shines in its clearest lustre. It is said that on one occasion a reraaik was made to him respecting this peculiarity of his strategy and he playfully replied, 'When ! am going to catch a rat, I always see to it that all his boles are first stopped. 1 Till secessionists of Mmnhia a fw nights ago, made a great parade of burying the old American flag, the Star Spangled Banner, the glorious meteor of freedom, six feet beneath tho surface of the earth.

If either of these unjust demands are refu.ed, the party is visited by the Vigilance Commi tee, and compelled to leave the State, and leave (heir property behind.

' ' Parson Brown low' 8 Daughter. A gentleman just arrived in this oi'.y from Knoxvillo, Tennossee, brings Intelligence of affiiirs in that city. lie informs us that 2,500 Secession troops are stationed there, for the express purpose of overawing the Union men. It is a part of their business to engage in quarrels in saloon9, and in street fights, with all who are not friendly to Secession. Two men were last week shot for no other offence than spoaking words of loyalty to tho Federal Government. . The house of the celebrated, botd-hoarted, and out-spoken Parson Brownlow, is the only one in Knoxville over which the Stars and Strip.s are floating. A few days ago two armed Secessionists went, at o o'clock in the corning to haul down the Stars and Stripes. Miss Brownlow, a brilliant young lady of twenty-three, saw them on the piazza and stepped out and demanded their business. They replied that thev bad ootne to "take down them d d Stars and Stripes." She instantly drew a revolver from her side, and presenting it, said: "Goon! I'm'good for one of you, and I think for both!" "By the looks of that girl's eye, she'll shoot," one remarked. "I think we'd better not try it; we'll go back and get more men," said the other, "Go and get more men," 8a id the noble lady"; "get more men and come and .take J it down, if you dare!" Tbey returned with a company of ninoty armed men, and demanded tnat ins nag- snould be hauled down ; but on discovering that the bouse was tilled with gallant men, armed to the teeth, who would rather die as deai ly as possible than see their country's flag dishonored, the Secessionists retired. When our informant loft Knoxville, the Stars and Stripes still floated to the breeze over Parson Brownlow's house. Long may they wave. Chicago Journal. The New York Tribune relates the following as a fact: A lady living in Richmond, who has a slave nurse to whom she is greatly at tached for her children, has been in a stale of great trepidation since the oom- mencetnent of the secession troubles, lest her faithful servant shou'd be tempted to denert her; and a few days since she hit upon an ingenious expedient to test her fidelity. While her little ones wcte playing in the nursery, the anxious mother eaid to them in the hearing of their black "mammy," "If the wicked Abolitionists should come to Virginia, Aunt Molly would'nt go and leave her little darlings. Not she." But Aunt Molly remained ominously silent ,anJ the alarmed mother said, "No, Auntv, you would not go and leave the children, would you?" To which Aunt Molly replied, "I love the children very much, mistress: but it is a great ting to be independent." 01 Aunt Molly! exclaimed ber mis tress in horror, would you dusert us after all we have done for you. an I when the children love you so well "Why, mistress," replied the nurse, you know Uncle Jff, how he love his master, and what they done for him. Well Uncle Jeff Bay, if de AVilitionists come to give him h s liberty, and he must fiht for it against his master, he will fight. It is great ting to have your noeriy. The startled mistress thought it prudent to say no more. She dtscorered what the thoughts of her slave were, and what dependence she could put io her attachment to the children.

Coop er's company, returned home to Greon- fiold, Washington county, on inursaay morning, from Camp Scott, having been honorably discharged on account of ill health. On rapping at his door about three o'clock in the morning, his wife awoke and inquired who was there. As he spoke, she recognized his roice, and nurrying io wte aoor neiu it ist, cauiuiui-ing, "Will, if you have deserted, you can't come in," After a brief explanation, she opened the door and gladly received him. After breakfast she was heard to declare that she would rather a thousand times bis bones bad bleached on the field of battle than that he had come borne a deserter. Anecootk or Gen. BuTLKa, Gen.

The following anecdote is related oi Dim tne incident occurring soon alter tne execution o i Prof. Webster: Be was eneaeed in a leeal caso, in which Prof. Horsford, of Cambridge, was one ol the witaesses. When Butler came to cross ex amine him, he began in his usual style of un ceremonious ferocity. The Judge mnaiy interposed, and said perhaps Brother Butler dida't know who the witness was : it was Professor Horsford Professor of Harvard Cellege. "O, yes!" mumbled Butler, as he leisurely stroked bis chin, "ivoie&sor uors-ford! Harvard Professor! Professor of Harvard College I Yes, we hung one of 'em the other iay!"

Bominlsoenoos of Joff Davis. D. Francis Bacon, M. D., of New York, publishes in the Mercury some facts and incidents connected with Jeff Davis, from which we ex'ruct: DAVIS AT DVBNA VI TA. By tho way, if Jefferson D ivis should lead the Secession army in pcrso i, it is to be hoped that his memory (or courage) won't fail him, as it did at the battle of Buena Visln, when he omitted lo give the third and essential command to throw his regiment into solid square: "By the right and left of fl ink battallionsl to the color marohl" The consequence of this hiatus vale dtfllendus was, that his regi ment wa left in the shipe of a V to receive the charge of four thousand Mexican cavalry, coming down on them in full career, on the slopes of Buena Vista The survivors of that regiment know that nothing saved them from annihilation but their long-practiced, deadly marksmanship with rifles. Perhaps it was well for Jefferson Davis that Z tchary Taylor was his father-in-law though unwillingly so. A sterner and more lirutus like commander might have ordered a court-martial on the spot, that would bave condemned him to have been shot for cowardice or moral incompe tency, H8 OUOItT tO HAVE DKKN COURT MARTI AL1D. In my opinicn, Jefferson Davis should have been court martialed for his dis graceful misconduct in that battle as soon as it was decided. Perhaps be would have been, but for his peculiar relations to Zichary Taylor, whose daughter he had married by ete il'.h, in opposition to the expressed wishes nnd positivo commands of her father. General (tliea Col onel) Taylor eaid to his daughter. "If you marry Lieutenant Davis, I will never see your lace ag tin, dead or aliv-!" The infatuated girl nevertheless, eloped with Davis, who had taken advantage of the patronage of his commanding oflljer, and violated the laws of hospitality by secretly gaining the sfJf.ct'ons of his daughter. In such nbhorence did Z icliary L' aylor bold Davis, that he kept his word with a firmness that may be deemed pitiless cruelty. When in the course of time, his disobedient daughter lay on her death bed, she sent to him a penitent message, entreating him to visit her, that she might die in peace, with her father's blessing, or at least his forgirness. The reply of the stern old man was; "I warned you that if ever married that man, I woulJ never see you again, living or dead, and I never will!" And so the unfortunate lady died, unblest and unforgiven by him. DAVIS AND OES. TAYLOn. When Davis crae under the immediate command of his f.ithcr-in-law in the Mexican War, General Taylor refused to re-cognizu him in any other wny, except of facially, as in giving orders, and in other matters of purely military form and duty. There was a two-fold obstacle to Taylor's performance of his duty in the Buena Vista matter, Davis was his son-in-law, and was at the same time known to be the object of his haired nod abhorencc. lie could not well have escaped suspicion of bad motives or personal feeling, in either Tiew. cot,, M'cr.uNo's oriNioH or davis. A friend, to whom I read the foregoing a short time since, gave me the following sketch of Davis' relations to an old Mis-sir aippian, renowned for desperate and reckless courage: Alexander McCIung often proved him self, on the battle-field and on dueling-ground, a man of dauntless end unsurpassed valor, showing an absolute contempt for death on every occasion that presented. He killed many men with his own hand, and finally shot himself in the bead. I happened to be in constant communi cation with Col A. K. McUung, of Missis sippi, in 1343 and 1850, and had almost daily conversation with him in relation to prominent Missi86ippians. As a matter ol conrse, JeffDrfvis was frequently named, and for him McClung entertained the most supreme contempt. He eaid Jeff Davis was not a man or true courage that he wished to be regarded as a duelist; but in giving a challenge, would always cast about him for a non-combatant, and would exercise enough prudence to creep out of accepting one from an Jantag-onisl over whom he had not a great advantage. McClung said, on one occasion:"I am very sorry I ever fought a duel. It is not a pleasant business; and yet I would like to fight one more, with one man, and that man is Jefferson Davis, because I think the Lnited States will be better without bim. He will not fight me, he is too great a coward. In fact he is not now, never was, and never will be a brave man, in the true senso of the word. "He is a dangerous and wily politician, loaded down with vanity and self-conceit, wishing only for his own aggrandizement, and he cares not at what expense or how many desolate households. He thinks of himself, and himself only, and I should not be surprised to find him one of these days, taking such a step in public a' will place bis neck in a halter, for he is a bid man and a scoundrel, and I hare frequently denounced him ai such before the people of Mississippi, and the dirty poU troon and ariful villain never had the courage to resent it." These conversations occurred on board the ship Lfcvine, B. Gardner master on our passage from New York lo Valpara-ison. McClung was on his way to Bolivia as Charge d'Affairs from the United Stale8, .
