Christian Banner i - A youne man and bis wife were preparing to attend a Christmas party at the house of a friend some miles distant. "Henry, my dear husband, don't drink, too much at the party, to-day : you will promise me, won't your saulBbe. putting her hand on his arm, and raising her eyes to bis face with a plea ding glance. "No. Millie, I will not ; you may trust me." And he wrapped his infant boy in a soft blanket, and they descended. "Now don't forget your promise," whispered the yonng wile, as she passed up- the steps. Jfoor tomg 1 sue was tne wire 01 a man wno loved to look upon the. wine when red; , But his love for bis wife, and their babe whom they both idol ized, kept him back, and it was not often that he joined in Bacchanalian revelries. The party, parsed , on pleasantly, the time of departing drew near, and the wife descended from tne upper cnamber to join ner bus band. A pang snot tnrougn tne wasting heart as she met him, for be was intoxicated he had broken his promise. .Silently they rode homeward, save when the drunken man broke into snatches of songs or unmeaning laughter. But the- wife rode on, her babe pressed closely toner grieved heart. "Give me the baby, . Millie, I can'i trust you and first with him," said he as he approached a dark someVhat swollen stream.' AftenBome hesitation, she' resigned ber born," her darling babe, "closely wrapped in the great blanket, to his arms. - Over the dark waters tne noble steed sately bore them, and when they reached the bank, the mother' asked for the child. With much care and tenderness he placed the bundle in her arms; when she claspled it to her bossom.no babe was there ! It had slipped from the blanket, and the drunken father know it not. A wild shriek aroused him, and he turned just in time to see the little rosy face rise one moment above the dark waves, and then sink forever. This is no fiction, but the plain truth. The parties were known by the friends of the writer, and it should be a warning to those who indulge in intoxicating drinks, and resist the pleadings of loving wives. MAJOR GENERAL VAN-DORN. We take from the letter of the correspondent of the New Orleans Delta the following descrip tion of this active and dashing officer, who is in command of the first division of Beauregard's army, wh'.ch contains all the cavalry under Gen. B., and the Hampton Legion : It would be superfluous, perhaps, to describe Gen. Van-Dorn to those to whom he is so well knownas the readers of the Delta ; yet his youthful contour, made apparently rejuveniscent bv his light-brown hair, his clear blue eyes, and finely cut features, may not be so well known. He is, I believe, forty one years of age, but, were it not lor a recent very severe attack of illness, be would no appeared oa more than thlrty-n ve. in the old army he bad attained the rank of Major, and a celebrity coextensive with the country for his energy and activity, culminating in those brilliant victories over the Camanches by which the spirit and the power of those warlike and ferocious savages were broken, and which have written his name in golden characters on the hearts of the Texan people. The reputation be thus acquired induced the Confederate States Government to select him lor, the delicate and important task of relieving the people of Texas of the presence of the Federal sol diery. The manner in which he accomplished his mission; tne enthusiasm with which the Texan vol unteers crowded to "his standard ; the celerity of his movements, capturing the enemy in detail before they had time for preparation, for concen trationj ;or even for retreat, now constitute one of the most brilliant pages in the history of .our new Republic. For these services he was soon ap pointed a Brigadier General in the Provisional Army, and subsequently, when he arrived in Richmond, was made a Major General, and as signed to a command in the army of the Potomac. In this army he ranks next to Gen. Beauregard. If the enemy should make his threatened attack on our right, with the object of carrying our batte ries at Evansport and re-opening the navigation of the Potomac.General Van-Dorn's Division will be the first engaged, and will probably have to sus tain the brunt ot the tattle. As soon as he ar rived here and assumed command of his division, he made himself throughly acquainted with the topography of the country by a series of personal inspections, which he carried through without the slightest regard to roads, winds, or weather. I venture to say, that, if the enemy give iiim one chanee at them, they will be very backward in giving him another. Praying for a Dying Enemy. A corres pondent of the Crescent says : A most touching scene took place in the affair of Major Hood's, already alluded to. Among those mortally wounded was a Northern man : ,he was shot through both hips and had fallen on the road, where he was discovered by a Louisian- ian. He was suffering the most Intense pain, his tace and ooay distorted oy nis aeonizme tuner Ings. He begged for water, which was promptly given him ; his head and shoulders were raised to make him more comfortable, and his face and forehead bathed in "water.. He urged the Louis ianiah to pray for bim, who was forced to ac knowledge his inability to pray. At that mo ment, one of the Mecklenburg troopers came up. and the poor fellow urged his reqaest again, with great earnestness. The Virginian knelt at his side and asked the wonnded man if he was a Christian, and believed in the promise of Christ to save repentant sinners ? He answered, yes. The trooper then commenced a prayer, fervid, pathetio and eloquent ; the soldiers face lost, all the traees of his recent suffering, and became placid and benignant, and in his new-born love for his enemy, attempted to encircle his neck with his areas, but only reached the shoulder, where H rested, and with his gaze riveted on the face of the fray ful trooper, he appeared . to drink in. tbe words of hope and consolation, the promises of Christ's mercy andsalvation, which flowed from his lips, "as the parched earth drinketh up the rain ;" and as the solemn amen, died on the lips of the Christian soldier, the dead man's head relapsed its hold, and fell to the ground, and bis spirit took . its flight to unknown realms. . The scene was solemn and Impressive and the groan were all in tears. The dying never weep, 'tis said.

I take a moment this morning early, before the Eastern train leaves, to write yon, up la the news from Texas. There is but little to be laid and I need use but few words. Tbe excitement in Houston for the past three weeks has been the rendezvous adf departure of the celebrated Terry and Lubbock Regiment of Rangers. , This regiment is . mostly made up of men picked for their qualities as good riders, good with tbe lariat,' what they dont kill at a- distance, or set with their revolvers and bowle knives with which every man is armed, they expect to ''rope'; and drag out. Their skill with the rope is aston ishing. There are quite a number of men in the regiment who can rope a bullock at full run by either leg you may choose. As for such an or dinary feat as picking up a loaded pistol from' the ground while riding, at full speed, and, firing it under the horse's belly, that is quite a common at tainment among them. . ; -. Seven companies of this regiment have gone forward, two leave this morning, and one, tbe last,' leaves on Wednesday. The muster rolls of the companies show no less than 96 men, while four of tne companies show 116, and four others over 100. The regiment will lie a powerful one. It will be commanded by Col. B. F. Terry, and Lieut. Col. T. S. Lubbock, both of whom render ed valuable service at tbe battle of Manassas, as aids to Gen. Longstreet. . . . Some apprehensions are felt that an attack will shortly be made on our coast. I am glad to be able to say that the most efficient means of de fense are being adopted and Galveston will be , able to defy a force of 20,000 men from the sea in a few days. Less that than number could not ef fect a landing now. Our people are quite busy preparing winter clothing for their troops. The Penitentiary is at present turning out a thousand yards . of. woolen cloth a day, all of which is devoted to the troops. It is thought that we shall be able to Clothe our Texas troops entirely by contributions .of the peo ple, many of whom will receive no pay from the Government, but deem it a glorious privilege t give ail tbey have to the aid of the Confederacy in this war. Yours, &c., TxLzoaiFH. THE MANASSAS OR "TURTLE." The Memphis Tenn. Avalanche gives the fol lowing description of the vessel wbioh run into tbe Vincennes at tbe Passes near New Orleans : Tbe "Turtle," it is said, did all the execution, and has proved a complete success. Most of our readers are acquainted with her peculiar construc tion, but as the enemy has seen and felt her there is no impropriety in describing ber. She is en cased with iron an inch thick, and Wshell and shot proof. Her construction is very strorig and sym metrical. In fiont several feet under water pro jecting from ber bow, is a machine like a scythe that bursts anything 41 wide open" that it comes in contact with. In the water the ''Turtle" looks like the hull of a steamboat, bottom side up. Of an oval shape from the water Una' up, every ball or shell would glance haemieraly off. It has but One aperture, and that conceals a ten inch howit zer in front. When in range, this, which is just large enougn ior ine muzzei or tne gun, is opened and the howitzer discharged. Tbe recoil is suffi cient to permit the "door" or "hatch" to fall, which it does ot its own weight, and presents the same imperviousness to shot and shell as tbe remainder or the novel structure, its complete success de monstrates the fact, that it is only necessary to 'turn her loose" to demolish the whole of Lin coln's navy.

A Washington dispatch dated the- 25th says : James S. Gibbonst of Philadelphia, will, on Monday, have in operation a train of fifty wag ons for the carrying of freight between Washing ton and Baltimore. . This has been made necessa ry owing to the blockade of tbe Potomac and the almost exclusive use of the railroad for Govern ment purposes. ,4 ' ,, ,N-y , COUNTING-HOUSE , CALENDAR, 1801 . 8MIT(W,TiF 8 8MiTWT or 8 6 6 6 7 12 13 14 1718 2425 19 26 119 20 27 201 21 22 23 P "124 26 128 29 30 31 I 2 28 29 21 1 ft' 2 9 4 5 7 9 4 7 10! 11 12 19 18 14! 15 16! 23!
