A BAD “MOVE.”—It is reported in a Richmond paper that Mr. Paul Morphy, the famous chess player, “has kindly consented to be present” at the meeting of a rebel chess-club in the Confederate capital. This is the worst movement that Mr. Morphy has made, and he need not be surprised to find himself check-mated at the end of the game. It is not a safe “opening.”

MR. PAUL MORPHY.—Mr. Morphy, of whose whereabouts so much curiosity has been expressed has turned up at last, apparently in attendance of the rebl Court at Richmond. The Richmond Dispatch of the 24th inst. invites the members of the Chess Club to meet on that evening at their room, as Mr. Morphy has kindly consented to be present. We hope we shall soon have Mr. Morphy “en prise.”—Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
