TeBt : SAM'L K. BUNTING, Clerk. Dec. 24:h 13-6t A story ia current umotg the Chinese of a great drinker, who waa able to sit all the day at the table, and after consuming what would have been sufficient to drive the reason out of half a dozen men, would rise up perfectly sober. The Emperor, heaiicg the fame of this deep drinker, asked him to dinner, that he might test hia marvellous powers. Aa the story goes, the Empe ror had ordered a hollow figuie to.be cast iu bronze, of the exact e.ie and model ol this man, and, as the wine was si rvtd, lor each cup that the guest drnk a similar one was pcurtd into the openiog oa the top of the head of the image. Thig went on lor some hours, unt'l the bronze statue ovei flowed, while the guest continued at the table and rcs3 lroin it perfectly sober. THE FREKCII COUNT AND THE NEGRO COOIL The Kichmccd correspondent of the London Index tell3 the followicg story about the Vicomte de Saint Rornain, whose visit to llichmoud some months ago at tracted some attention . The Count, having borno with the wietched cuisine of the , until menaced by starvation, went out, like a pelican cf the wilJerneta, intj tha torn ia search of a dinner, llappily, he found one at the Res taurant au Rendezvous, (lormerly Zstelle's.) so much to his liking and so tcuchingly suggestive of Paris, that he beggtd the cook might be sent up into the salle a manger, as he desired to make his grateful acknowledg ments to au artist and a compatriot not doubting, for an instant, that the dishc3 betore him were the work of a Frenchman. The Count's amznnent may be ixneg ined when tLe door optned Bcme minutes afterwards and there entered a very stout, greasy old negro wom an, aa black as the ace of spades, who announced her self as the presiding divinity of the kitchen. l'ee de cook; matsa," said the old "auntie," curtseying; which being translated to the Count, he expressed his surprise at the boundless resources ol the Confederacy, and de clared if Euch cooking were possible undsr elavery, the.

C, THURSDAY MORNING, We have been furnished with the lollowins: statf ment of the capture of the Margaret and Jessie by oue of its passengers. It may, therefor be considered reliable : The steamship Margaret and Jessie left Nassau on the 2d of November. Had- bad weather for ten days, and failed to make Wilmington on the night of the 5tb, aa expected. On the 6:b, lay off E iPtward of that port until about 11 o'clock, when the Keystone State-was seen making for u?. The ship was at once gotten un der way , aud succeeded id escaping, af.er about four hourB chase. About 11 o'clock that night, we made the fand about twenty miles North of Wilmington, and ran down the coast, passing inside of the blockade tqutd ron. but was seen and fired at by oie cf them. We were in a Ehott distance of New Iaiet, and signalled Fort Fisher, wnich wes acknowledged, but aa " e were turning to run in through the inlet, weobscrvid a gun boat lying across the channel. We were so tear she hailed us, and it was utterly impracticable to rua by her a&d have any hopes of saviDg tEe Ehip. We at once turned about and rnade'our way through the blockade out to eea taking the fire ol grape irora a 12j)cunder on cjeck of the gunboat, which d:d ua no damage: (We after capture learned that they failed to get off their heavy guns at us, oa account of the powder in them beincr damp). We were fdlowtd bv several of the blockading sqisdron, and at day light the Keystone State and Niphon were within range cf ua jast astern. In fifteen minutes more, we made tre James Adger dead ahead. We charged our course, acd succeeded ia putting all three astern ; but about 7 o'clock we made the Fullon dead ahead. We now again changed course, and com menced throwing overboad the eargo, having great fear of being cut eff in the quarteriog run we were making. We, however, again Bucceccled ia. placing' our Bhip ahead of the lour in the chase, and now congratu lated ourselves upon our good prospects of escape. We were gradually leaving alt astern of us, and ran on this way until about 10 o'clock, when we again made dead ahtad the Nansemond. We now again had a quarter ing run for life, and waa forced to rua with the wind, giving the Fulton the advantage of all htr s-ii's, we carrying noae. 'I he Nansemond succeeded in nearing sufficiently to make a few shots at us without any effect. At 12 o'clock, the wind stiffened up very much, and getting into the gulf, the eea was heavy. This soon put me i aufccuiuiiu uui ui toe tju-.airju. iuv xvcyoujuc State, Niphon and James Adger, we had regarded out of the chase some time previous, and it now waa a ques tion cf speed between the h ulten and ourselves. 1 he wind and sea favoring her, she now' for the first time commenced lessening the distance, gaining very percep tibly from half-past 12 to half-pasi 1, aud at 2 o'clock commenced with v her bow gun throwing alternately shell and round shot at uj. Every exertion was now made to increase; the speed of the ship. The cargo was going overboard, our only sail was hoisted, evtry ounce of steam , oar boilers would bear waa on; and every effieer and jnan waa at his proper place. There was no excitement ; calmness and a desire to do everything that lay in his power to save the ship was the feeling and action - of every in dividual on board. But after 3 o'clock it became pain fully certain that all our exertions were of no avail, yet we did not elacken our efforts in the least, although the shot and shell were falling all around us. At 4 o'clock the Captain gove th3 order "Hard aport," and " stop her," and we were a Yankee prize. We had been chased fourteen hours, acd made thirteen and a half knots as our average run. ( Fhe Fulton, after twelve o'clock, made fourteen and a quarter, according to her log.) We were immediately tracsferred from our ship to the Falton, end iu half an hour a hawser was attached to the Marg-aret and Jesaie, and we were un der way for New York. We were treated courteously and kiadly on board the FuKoq ; even some of the offi cers ot the ship gave up their rooms, that the ladies and a few others of ua might occupy them. Oa our arrival in New York, the ladies, not beiDg , considered prison ers, were allowed their liberty at once, and their trunks were delivered after a nominal search on the following day. The rest of ua were detained in the Ludlow-street County Jail for examination. After three"days, all ex cept five of ua were discharged and allowed as they might choose to make their way out of the country. Of the five American born prisoners remaining, four were, on the tenth day of imprisonmenr, Bent down to Fort Lafayette, where they remained. Their names are Captain R. W. Lockwcod, Purser W. T. Dortic, Wm. Wnhington, engineer, and C.W.Craig, passen ger. They are prisoners cf war by decision of the Gov ernment, having been captured by an army transport, and not by the navy. Ihis entitles them to a regular exchange. The object of this statement more especially is to cor rect an impression which found its way from one of the Kicbmond papers into the New York Herald, that the presecce of the lady passengers on board the Margaret and Jessie prevented other means than those employed being resorted to to save the 6hip. These ladies stood the fire splendidly, and throoghoqt the chase behaved with the greatest coolnes3 and courage, and their pre sence by no means, known to the Captain, effected the result in the slightest. Cha,s. Courier. A HAIRY SHOS-P1AKER . " Upon the banks of the Mississippi, in the State of Tennessee, there once dwelt an old chap by the name of Yadge Tom Yadge. Now Tom had been an honest, hard-working man all hia life, but he had never owned a saddle; but as Tom grew old, his wealth and import ance increased, ana with it a desire for a bog skin; so be one day packed up a clean shirt, stufled a hundred dollars into, his wallet, stepped upon a steamboat, and away he started down the river to New Orleans to buy a saddle. Now this was the first trip Tom ever made; he had lived all his life where he was born, and had nev er heard any other language than that of hia mother's tongue. In the course of a few days ne landed upon the fevee at New Orleans. Little poor Tom knew what he had to encounter. The Frenchman was there, the Italian was there, the Spaa iard was there, the German was there some from all parts of the world were crowded upon that levee and there was Tom, with his eyes stretched and eara open, completely mystified and bewildered at the strange jar gon going on around him; he stood it as long as-mortal man well could, and at last struck out, with hia mind tally 'prepared to be surprised at nothing he saw, upon his errand of the saddle. After meandering about tha city for some time, he at length found a sadler'a ehop. Tom, with heart elate, walked in. The first and only living creature which met his vis ion was a baboon of the largest species, sitting upon the counter, playing with the girths 'vhich were hang ing from the saddle immediately over his head. Tcm very politely addressed him : "flow do yoa do, sir r" The baboon grinned and nodded. "I wish to buy a saddle," saya Tom." The same expression from the monkey. In Q louder key from Tom. " 1 want to buy a sa Idle." A very polite grin from the baboon. " 1 will give you $20 for that saddle," saya Tom, at the same time handing him a 20 bill. 1 he animal, having seen his master put money in the drawer, took it, and hopping aloDg the counter, made a deposit of Tom's $20 note. He returned, how ever, immediately to his former position. Tom-" Well, hand us down the pig csio Very little notice from the baboon. 44 Hang it, why don't yoa give nemy saddle ? I have paid you for it, so hand it down, or I will take it myself." An awful chattering from the baboon. Tom, not intending to be fooled with any longer, reached out and caught bold of his property, but no sooner had the poor fellow done eo than the nail3 and testh of the mon key were drivsn into his arm. Tom kicked and swore the baboon bit, screamed until, at last, the owner of the shop, a Frenchman, with a Iosg moustache, came rushing into the room. 44 Wnat vou do. sare. What do you want in here, ycudd rascal? By gar, you shall give me satisac shune. Tom, not in the Jeast daunted, but very much exas-. "ated, ripped out : ' lieve a infernal old hairy mouth scoundrel 1 I be- boughasaT.'851 to fiteaI mT 20 ! 1 031116 in here when I want to Eaid mo.Dfy owa for it, and now, refused to let me ha0."5?

' nd returned the next III morning iu the b. at going up th river : but has been heard to swear it was' the last one Le ever wished to purchase. F om the Pavannah Repnb ican. A Yankee Plan of Peace. We have occasional evidence through the Press, that there are at least a few men iu ?he Yankee nation who have not wholly parted with their brains. The London limes gives the fbl'owing as an extract of a privare letter from a gentleman in one of the Northern States to a friend in London : 44 October 26, 1863. ja answer o yoor inquiries whether pa cification on a basia of separation, permanent or tempo rary, ia likely to be acceptable or i3 practicable, I can only answer for myself. Acceptable it certoinly would cot be just no in the Nertb, a community excited in one way or another beyond the reach of reason ; but ac ceptable it scon n.u3t be, when the wet riness of sorrow becomes stronger and financial trouble is more immi nent, i Lere is a growing feeling in favor of peace and recognition, in preference to the continuance of sach a war, or to intervention lrom abroad ; though rather than this brotherly bloodshed should go on, psople urny t ecome reconciled To that as a means of peace. My American instincts yet .revolt at tha forcible iaterven tion ot foreign nations in cur domestic feuds. I cannot, however, aa a friend of peace, see any 6bj-iction o foreign recognition to which I think the South en titledand which in my poor judgment, at once would produce peaco. T nere is a prevalent mistake abroad on this point. " A reasonable plan of pacification, soppo?iag states Hien to direct onr policy, would be this :. 44 1 If the war is to go on for a time, as from mere momentum perhaps it must, let it be turned as soon bs possible from attempted conquest to a war for limits and terras of settlement. 4,2. Let negotiations be opened at once with the Government at Richmond for such settlement, makirg 'more formal recogniti -n one of the matter a for discus sion. The Sfcelburne ministry snnt Mr. Oswald and Mr. Grenville to Pari, in 1782, to negotiate before they recognized us. The mission of that negotiation is very impressive now. "Of cotlr3e '-he Southern Confederacy, ns an existing concrete thing, ia to be recognized de jure. There can be no peace without it. 4'4. As to limits, I, as a Northern man, prefer a nat ural to an arbitrary boundary; very much prefer the Potomac acd the Ohio to the line ot blazed trees and landmarks that now separate us, acd which has been quite ineffectual to protect ua from two invasions 4,5 But the States of Maryland and Delaware have a right to determine their relations to the two Confed eracies by a free vote free, I meat-, in fact, ad not in form and their decision aflecta boundarL-s. Pencsyl vania is assumed to go with the North. 41 6. In aoy event of separation, Washington should not be the capital of either Confederacy. For the North it would not bs euitabte ; as a frontier fortress, which it is, it would be intolerable to the South. For the South it would be equally unsuitable. L:t it be a mon ument of the glorious past. It ia worthless? now for any practicable purpose. . 4,7. The navigation of the Ohio and Mississippi, and, in the event of Maryland joining the South, of the Sus quehanna and Chesapeake, to be f.ee. 4 8. A common tariff for the two Confederacies as to foreign nations, on a revenue basis, to be mads by com mtrci J treaties, and no tariff of duties or custom houses between the Cor federacies. 4'9. Indemnities, and compensations, and territorial rights to be subjects cf negotiation. "This I think ia a fair and reasonable basis of pacifi cation, neither intimating nor excluding the possibility of reconfederation, but providing against future differ ences. - "This moy save the public debts, nothing else will ; for the alternative for tha North will be further disinte gration when the hour of dipgust comes, rs it surely will ; and then the national debt falls in ruin. "This is an honest answer to your question." There is a great deal of common sense and states manship in the above programme for a peace. There are points, true, to which we would ohj-jct, but we must recollect that it is but the ex parte view of a citi zen of the North, and subject, of course, to modification in thfe course of negotiation. Generally the plan is a good one, and sooner or latter the North will come to pen3es and be glad to adopt it. The eighth article con tains a stipulation which we would rather continue the war than agree to. Whilst it ia difficnlt to see howJ restrictions on trade van be enforced betveeu two coun tries with nothing but a narrow river boundary between them for several thousand miles, the idea of a common tariff to regulate cur trado with foreign countries is wholly inadmissible. I would be a base tr-ckling on cur parts to Yankee grcedj atd.gain the vuy motive at the bottom of the war and to agree to it we should be almost as bodly"whipped in the treaty U3 we possi Lly could be in the field. We begrudge tho boon of free trade with our detested "foe and woul 1 never agree to it so long as it is practicable to put them on the same footing with other foreign nations; and to corn plicate our foreign relations, making them eubvervient to Yankee interests, would be a comprocnise ol our in dependence and a national drgradation which we should never submit to. How Lincoln's Message 41 took " in New York The New York Herald, in a lengthy at tide on the sub ject of sensations, remarks : Out of pure love for President Lincoln we tried to make a sensation about hia message the oihtr diy ; but we tried in vain. Before this war we used to print an extra edition of frcm ten to thirty thousand copies cf the Herald containing the President's message, and all these copies were bought up like hot cakes by the eager public. On Wednesday we obtained the fust copy ot Mr. Lincoln's message by telegraph. We printed it first, and had our extra ready before our sleepy con temporaries knew frhat they were about. The news boys were notified by the bulletins that the mcpsuge was in town. Well, we printed four hundred and eighty copies of the message. Of these we sold one hundred acd eighty copies to the newsboys. Undoubt edly we should have been 44 stuck " (as the newsboys classically phrase it) with the remaining three hundred, had not a countryman come along in the nick cf tim? and bought the whole batch, on a venture, to dippose of on his way home. We have every reason to believe that our country easterner sincerely repented of hia bargain. This little incident is the strongest proof we could produce of the complete indiSerence ol the public. In Artemns Ward's inimitable lecture on Ghosts he tells of an absurd man who wouldn't have glass in his windows he thought the sash would be enough, a3 it wou!d keep oat the coarsest of the cold. Th is reminds the correspondent of the Boston Post of a story that old Parson H., of P., (not H. P.") used to tell of his experience of the night of hia marriage. They went on a "bridal tower" to hi8 cousin's down on the 6hore of Connecticut, and spent the night, which was one of the coldest of the season, and being put in a cold spare room, they suffered severely. After a while fci3 wife asked him to get up and see if ha couldn't fiad some thing more to put on the bed. After diligent search, he could find nothing but his and hia wife's - clothing, which he gathered np and packed upon the bed, and got in and tried it again, but still they "grewuo warm er very fast," and his wile bi?gged him , to get up and search about and see if anything more could ba found, and suggested that there might possibly ba something in a clcst in ona corner ot the room ; so be weat and examined the closet, and reported to hia wife that an old Gab. net waa the only thing he could fiad. 44 Well, dear,'Pdid she, " put it on, put it on, that will tang'e the cold a little." In the old United States postal service there was al ways a deficiency of receipts over disbursements of an average of a million a year. The Postmaster General of the Confederacy reports that his receipts for the past fi?cal year amounted to $675,048 44 more than expend itures This item is important lor this reason : it shows that tha people of the Sculh are a reading and a writing people ; that they are, aa a clasa, well educat d, and have constant intercourse with one another. Credit of Georgia 1 he whole debt of Georgia doe8-not amount to $15 000 000. To meet it she has $9,000,000 of available public popertyjand her taxable property on the gold basis is nearly $800,000,060. W.LvUNGlON, N. C, Dec. 24, 1863. Coi.f flr;nt C;iegg. In the Confederate Senate ou Tuesday various peti tions were present d for increase of salaries. Certain propositions to amttd the Idw imposing a tax in kindf were referred to the Comuaitfee oa Finance. Ose of thtee propositions h to fximpt sweet po'atuca of this year's raising. The bill amecd'ng the act to aid the Stat? of 'Ken tucky was taken up at.d passed. It ui-ects tha Secre tary of the Treasury to pay to the Governor of Ken tucky one million of dollars, to be employed in purehas ing clothing for the Kentucky troops sow in the mili tary service cf the Confederate State?. The House was chiefly occupied in the discussion of a bill to prohibit acd putisb trading in the enemy's currency, and also in' the disenssi of the inbatitute "question. The bill in nlaticn to iikgal currency prohibits brokers and merchant of ull descriptions from dealing in th3 papec currency of the United State?, the penal ties being the forfeiture of the amount, a fine .of not Use thn $1000, nor more than $10,000, and imprison ment fcr not.les3 th;ir, three month?, nor mere than three years. The bill was ordered to be printed, and laid over for the present. Ia regard to eubstitults there is a decided difference of opiiion. The committee on military tfftirs does not propose to put into the anay those who actually have substitutes there, but does propose to revive the liability of those whose substitutes have deserted, and of these who originally, through carelessness, corrup tion cr otherwise, had been permitted to put in fcubsti tutts who were physically unfit; for the -service. It thos-s who3G substitutes have deserted are tbemeelves held liable, we think that will" be as far aa Cocgre-ss will go. P. S.- By the telegraphic dtspatchrs from Richmond which will be found in to diy's paper, it would appear that the House has determined to go for putting all into the eervioe, substitute or no substitute. The large vote by which the bill wa passed, shows a very decided feel ing on the subject. The military committee of the Sen ate had, over a week before, reported a bi!l having in it a similar provision. This locks Lke bringing the thing down closer than we had thought Congress would do. Gen. Thomas Jefferson Green died at his residence, in Warreu county, N. C, on the 12 ih instant, iu the 62d year of his oge. Oen. Green was a man of active enterprise and of mot liberal and kindly disposition, and had borne part in as many stirring ecenes as almost any man we ever knew. He figured as General in the Texan war of in dependence, a member of the Texan Congress, the leader of the Micr expedition, one of the band of 44 Mier Pri soners " and subsequently historian of that transaction. I was afterwards a State Senator in California and Mejor General of the militia of that State. He was a thorough and dtvoted friend of the Confederate cause, giving of bis means liberally, and extending an unlimi ted hospitality to refugees. Gekeeal, Johnston's Army. As General J oeiPH E.

The army ia said to be in excellent condition. Cold. We think this morning was the coldest of the year.

For the Journal. Messrs. Editors : Permit me, through your paper, to return my sincere thanks to the officers and crew of the steamship Hansa, for their very liberal donation of over $2,000, and es pecially to Mr.- Alexander McLeod for hia courtesy and very valuable assistance in obtaining this sum, which has been spent lor and turned over to the Sisters of Mercy in Augusta and Charleston. After seeing and knowing what these noble and self-sacrificing ladies have accomplished for the suffering, the wcuaded and the destitute, without reward or the hope of reward, no oue cun doubt that some substantial mark of our ap preciation is due to them. I would a:so thke this opportunity "to return my thanks to Mr. D.

Wood, Whipple and Stim erj to investigate, by ae;ual txptrirnent, the process of ueing cs fuel hydrocarbon oils for the generation of steam. Ibis commission made a series of carefui experiments, -extending over a period of five months whx'a have proven highly satisfactory. Froaa their report W3 ex tract the lollowing : 4 la the experiments under consideration, the volume of fliina waa so great aato puss entirely through the tubes of the boiler, and heat the smoke-pipe rod not for several feet from the base, ia consequence of -which the maximum amouut cf combustion, sni evaporation was not reached, in the use of petroleum." The evapora tion in favor of the petroleum was 103 per cent, as s'loffn by the leport ; the same boiler being used with the best anthracite coal, and under precisely the same condition." The time of gt-neratieg steam from water of equal "temperature to 20 pouada prebcure above the atmos phere, wa3, for the oil, aa average of 28 minutes, and ;or the coal, 60 minutes ; o? in favor of the oil, 114 3 per cent. . The time frcm full operation for Hq complete extin gui;htmnt of the tire, ia the use of the oils, waa about 16 seconds, One of our irun-cla -Is or naval steamers, by its Eucct-Ss'ul use as suggested ia the experiments so far as tried, wou:d be enabled to keep the sea under 3tecm t wo or three tim'.s a3 long, with leei labor , and greater convenience, aa compared with the uae of coal, tq ial weights of each on board b-iug considered. f bes-j advantages, est forth in this report are very great, and. no doubt a complete revolution in the tnode of generating steam wiil be .he re salt.
