What Makes Uh a Yankee
Regiment.—A number of army
officers boing present at a dinner,
the conversation turned upon the
condition and efficiency of their
different regiments. Col. —t,
of the —-th Now York, stated
that nine different nations were
represented iu his regiment, and
after going over Irhh, German,
French, English, &c., several
times, could enumerate but eight.
IJe said lie was Certain there
were nine, but what the ninth
was he could not remember. Lt.
■ ■i , who was present, sug-
gested "Americans." "By Jove,"
said the Colonel, "that's itm
Americans I',' ,
Jfca?" Letters from Rome, says
the Courier des Etats Uuis, state
tliat Pius IX intends to make a
Cardinal of Archbishop McClos*
key. There being a larger num-
ber of Catholics in the United
States than in England, their
<dergy, it is claimed, are entitled
io this distinction, The lato
Archbishop Hughes died befóre
obtaining from the Pope that
mark of esteem, with which it is
believed his successor will be
honored.

The following is item the New Yo.k
Herald of the 10th in&t. by Gig of truce:
The news from the seat of war to-
aay is lioi «cjj eAxhrlng, but if wro can
judge from the information which rea-
ches US from different, quarters, the
present calm only iudicates thu ooming
storm. General Lee is said to have
changed his headquarters from Rich-
mond to the vicinity of Reams' station,
on the Weldon railroad. A battle, is
expected to take place at any moment.
.The same intelligence, from Bermuda
Hundreds.
Accounts from Harper's Ferry-state
that all the guerrilla companies in Nor-
thern Virginia, including Moseby's,
have been ordered to repair forthwith
to Richmond, to take part in a grand
attack which is now being prepared
against Geti Grant's army. It is said
that part of Hood's defeated Georgian
army has already ariived at Richmond
for the same, purpose.' -
Shelby is within sixty miles of St.
Louis.
Price is also in Missouri.

We have been called on often to
record the names of those who have
fallen iq the Struggle now being wageíl,
and the dying sighs of our youth come
wafted on almost every breeze, yet the
fierce struggle still goes an, adding
now victims to the unpitying spirit of
war. Sinceour last, we have learned
with deep regret of the death of James
Sampson, the only child of Mr. Allen
Sampson, of this county. A mere youth,
he joined tho 6th Texas Infantry, and
having survived the disasters and glo-

Messrs: Hurít ¡índ Wjlkins, .ot
Company A, Waller's rofiment, are now
in Victoria, having beJn detailed for
the purpose of taking charge of such
clothing a3 those having friends or
relatives in that company may wish to
send to them. Most of the! company
have -written home, specifying such
things as they need; there aro a few
members, however, who have none upon
whom they feel privileged to call,..who
are nevertheless mueli in need of com-
fortable clothing. Any contributions,
such as shirts, drawers, BOcks, plants or
overcoats, will greatly contribute to
their comfort. We hope the citizens of
Victoria and vicinity will endeavor to,
supply a few of these much needed
articles. Messrs. H. and W. will leave
Victoria for the comma-id on the 20th
October proximo.

Ed. News—Elder A King, of Victo-
ria, visited our ooUrity some weeks ago,
jnul eonimenced á meeting at this place,
which _was interrupted by a previous
appointment of' thé* - Methodists'; "but,
up to that time, lie bad largo and atten-
tive congregations, and the meeting
was increasing in interest, and resulted
in the addition of seven members to the
ciiurcli. He then commenced a meeting
with Little River Cliursli, about-ten
nliíeá from this place, which resulted iu
tl^ addition of eighty members to the
church—seventy-live of whom by expe-
rience and baptism. Eider King's ser-
mons were chiefly doctrinal aud logical,
aud he doubtless v>0s6esses the raro and
happy gift oi holding his .congregations
uctilwuauoiK xnc congré-
gutiou was larger at the close of the
meeting than at any previous time^ and
there were .about twenty penitents left,
inquir'-og fJ.ie vjvj oí aaVi^-yj.. Jt was
one of tho best meetings we have ever
witnessed. J. N. Saíiplb.
To this we may add, that Elder King
had been but a few days at home, when
h« was called upon to perform the im-
pressive rite of baptism, litis occurred
Sunday afternoon a week ago, in the
Guadalupo river, where be baptized
three, a lady, gentleman and colored
man; and all the surroundibgs of the
ceremony—the, river rolling peacefully,
along, both banks crowned with spec-
tators of all agos and sexes, and the
venerable- appearance and commanding
voice of the Elder—gave the scene a
truly apostolic appearance. The heat
of the sun, even at the late hour the
rite was celebrated, prevented Mr. King
from addressing the congregation. 'J
