'Phis is no time for party tactics, or political strifes. The con et.itntional election of a plan for l'resi• dent, is made the active cause for dis- wcailberment. The principle upon ik.bich this Government %vas established ie that of obedience to a constitutional try:olty. From the, brgiaoing there has been minorities, and they have al. ways acquiesced in the will of the ma- jority. To do oiherssise nra• is t6 doubt the wisdom of our Fathers, and east reproach upon all who have acgl►i• ceced in the popular will since the or- ganization of the Government.

Newson -hes sold out the St. Paul Timms, and from the types on which that paper was printed appears a new paper under the above head. It purports to be republican, is ably edited, and under the manage- ment of Mr. It. Marshall. We regret to part company with Mr. Newson; he is a man of warm generous impulses, closely identified with the i terests of the State, and a rnan who untrammel- led would be of infinite serviee in the further development of the State. Ile was among the first editors in the State being at St. Paul when ite population was very inconsiderable. Friend New - sun, take with you to your retiracy our expressions of regard. We do not like the tone of the new paper on the Railroad issues, it looks to us as if it was the exponent of the Grand Trunk Idea, and with two pa - pets at St. Pant in the interest of Chamberlain da Co., we aro fearful that our legislature would get but a faint view of the real sentiments of the honest masses. We think this change of name and proprietors in the St. Paul Times, is the first act in the farce of giving the bonds of the State issued for Railroad purposes to the various companies, for the completion of their roads, to the Grand Trunk Railway. We know where the Minnesotian is on this ques- tion; we are fearful from the paper be- fore us thet the Press will take a like course. The people should be warned by the Five Million Loan Bill not to tiust St. Paul Schemes. That infa- mous measure was concocted in the law offices about St. Paul, and the Grand 'Trunk Swindle is in progress at like institutions. Our Representatives and Senators ought to recollect that this State has a future before it which requires the development of all locali- ! tier, h nd this aggrandisement of the Crand Trunk at the expense of all other Railways and the people of oth- ter districts is not to Lo tolerated. is to say the least premature. and any (For the Independent.] action now, is judgment and penalty I 11R. EDITon,—There are a few facts iu advance of the commission of any trot of delinquency towards the people of any portion of the confederacy.— Snell special hleadieg would scarcely Le tolerated iu any court of justice, even in treasonable and rebelious South Carolina. The only question then be- fore the American people is whether they will sea Abraham Lincoln ivau- gerated President of tl;e Uuitcl States, a position to ^ :':ic•h he has been con- stituti^iall) Aceto], or not? It is what the t::irl:phity bas heretofore prornptly coincided with the maim ity w main- taining, and is reasonable to suppose they will continue to Ju so. The pec>ent Ldministration is enhi' trendy the creature of the South, and especially that portion where the great- est disaffection reigns. \Ve hear hat little complaints in that quarter of its acts, therefore the conclusion is forced upon ns, thar the confusion that now reigns in South Carolina, and which is spreading elsewhere in the South, is nut the result of any infringement of their real or imaginary tights. The military have been called to Kansas in obedience to its commands; it has call- ed out the police force bf our cities, and men from their daily avocations to sustain the :''ugitivo Slave Law, and it has been done. Negroes have been rent hack to servitude, mere itl Nothern cities have Leen doomed to prison for their struggles for humanity, awl their worship of unadulterated liberty, and with the 'memory of all this fresh in our minds, with our citizens still rot. ting in prison cells, the South makes the failure to do these things, a pre- tense for the seizure of a Federal Cus- tote House, and Forts established for the National defense—they go further and threaten the Government itself by arming the citizens of a State. to whose support volunteers ate flock ng from the neighboring States, with the avow etl purpose of resisting the execution Federal Laws.

That the education •:f the yontb, of any community in this land should receive proper attention, is a conceded point, among intelligent men, at least. Good Common Schools are justly esteemed of vital importance to the welfare of a free people. While this is admitted to be (rue in principle, there is little practical ap- plication of it. We have a popula- tion of about 2,000, of whom there must be from 300 to 400 who ought to be under instruction, either in the Common School or in some select school. But what provision do we find made fur the instruction of these youth in the Common School? There is no school house in the dire.trict, consequently when there is a school room must be rented; and such taken as may be found, whether suita- ble or not. For the last eight months there has been no teacher employedby the dis- trict for want of funds. And for the past two years, the schools that have been sustained, have been maintainedat very heavy expense to the district, from the fact that orders of the Trus tees have been drawn In advance of the collection of taxes. The apportions meats of the School Fund have been made; not of money in the treasury, but of tax duo. But this, like other tax, has been only in part paid. School orders will not draw money, and hence teachers must have wages sufficient to give a large margin upon which to sell at discount. For example, a teacher who would serve for $25, por mouth had to be paid 542,50 permouth in orders. A11 other expenses had to bo met in the same way. I'o stop this waste of the School Fund, the trustees resolved last spring. to suspend the schools till the treasury was in a better condition. But the result thus far, has not ex- hausted the orders already issued by the Trustees, there being about $380 ((emend cgainst a treasury that has no money to pay. It is true that there is a delinquent tax of a much larger aniount. But few are so nestltute of experience in these platters as to suppose a delin- quent t ax any security for the prompt payment of dues. Little if any ac- count can be made of it. But it is now honed, after an eight mouth's suspension of eohools, that there may be enough money in the treasury, from the next apportionment, to justify the employment of two teachers in the district for three monthi this winter. But under the revised school law the use of the "School Fund" is very properly confined to the payment of teachers' wages, and Bence, if schools are maintained, the incidental expenses M WA.be met by a special tax. 're obtain tiro levying of such a tax there have been efforts made since about the middle of October last, and five or six meetings have been held, at most of which, it has been neoessary for the present, to go, after the boar for meeting had passed, and solicit the attendsnce of citizens to secure a quo- rum for tbe transaction of business. This is a reproach. That people who have such real interest in our schools should manifest so little—that of the 400 or 500 persons entitled to a voice in such affairs, leas than five were found voluntarily at such meet- ioge, is a fat scarely to be believed. Not until some persons made an ef- fort to prevent the accomplishment of anything for our schools, was there a respectable number present at a meet- ing. The object attempted then was prevented only by adjournment. At the adjourned meeting a tax was voted by a small majority. There was op- position to it, and it is now said that there will be opposition to the payment of it—that it will, in some instances be paid only under compulsion of law. In this manner it seeius as though eve ery effort to advance the interests of Schools in the town, must be made against obstacles that in a pleasure paralyze the efforts. flow long must this state of things continue? When will the people feel that it is to Meir own tnteresi to make tbe Common Schools of the plaec an object of at- traction? QOEBTO1. UXVI COIi6RESS-•.11eco*A Session. WASHINGtrow, Dec. 31.—Bititara— The galleries wen crowded and there was a large crowd about the doors.— Ladies, oors—Ladies, also were in the lobbies and on the floor. Mr. Crittendon offered a resolution that a portion of the gals leries be set aside for the ladies, which was adopted. Mr. Douglas said he wished to speak ou the present condition of the Union, but would postpone his remarks until Wednesday. Mr. Crittenden asked that the Sen- ate would set apart some day for the consideration of the joint resolution offered by him. The resolution was then made the special order for Wed- nesday. Mr. Wilson offered a resolution of inquiry that the Secretary of War be requested to inform the Senate.wat dis' position had been macri at the national armories; if any had been sold, and if so, at what price, and to whom; what number there were in the arsenals and how they were protected. Objected to and laid over. The bill to organize the Territorial Government of Arizona was laid over. Mr. Trumbull spoke in favor of the amendment to the amendment to al- low the Mexican law abolishing slavery to continue.in force. 14. Green said, sjr. Powers' amend. went did not change any law. but pro- posed to continue an existing law.— He was in favor of leaving the people free to choose their own laws. The special order, the bill providing for the admission of Kansas, was taken up and postponed till Monday next. Mr. Benjamin, of Louisiana, rose to address the Senate. Ho said he had -- supposed ere this he would have had official information of the position of affairs in South Carolina, but in the absence of it he should presume that he had such information. The South has repeatedly warned the North they were driving them to a point that we'd result in a separation, and for this they had only been sneered at and mal- igned. We are permitted to ignore the fact that the determiestion to secede is not confined to South Carolina alone, for next week Mississippi, Alebama, and Florida will undonbtedly seperate from the Union A week after Georgia will follow them. A little later and Louisiana will secede. and soon after he:, Arkansas. Now then, shall we recognize South Carolina as a free and independent S' ate, or shall we coerce by force.— He argued that the people of South Carolina had a right to declare herself free. It was an inherent, unalienable right. South Carolina had by the voice of her people when they met in end gentleman alluded to the troubles convention in 1860 repealed the ordin- nnce made by her people when they met of the country.

Property -holders would do well to remember that they are re- sponsible for tihe manual.in which they clear off the snots and ice in front of their premises. THE Rev. J. H.

Washington News. It is not generally known, says the O,xoquan (Va.) Courier, that the ear- ly year of Abraham Lincoln were spent in Virginia. From sixteen to eighteen he attended Charles Tuckett's school, then a flourishing institution in Stafford county. The Hon J. L, Taylor of Ohio; Harvy B. Ralle and Merdith Eskridge, were among his classmates.. The latter gentleman re- members him well, and speaks of him as a youth of great promise, strict in- tegrity, and untiring industry, but of quick temper. Subsequently he taught school, an I studied law at Jeffersonton. Culpepper county. ear An article of somewhat alarm- ing tone appears in the Mobile Regis- ter, calling attention to the tendency of cotton to take 'the back track,' in- Treaeury notes, demanding more than 12 per cent. interest. Thus, less than $2.000,000 are accepted—an amount about sufficient it is said, to pay the interest ou the public debt due ou the let of January. As it was never stipulated or agreed by the President that the troops should be withdrawn from the Forts around Chatlestcn harbor, the administration does not consider it is under any ob- ligation to do so. As to the request of the Sonth Care *line Commissioner, viz , for the res- toration of the military status. 'This is considered by the larger portion of the Cabinet as impossible. Recent and higbly-'important intels ligence from the South, received by the govsrnnlent, Imlay precipitate tbe event. The Setlretary of the Treasury has just received's dispatch from Charles- ton, statiog tbat the revenue cutter in the port of Charleston had been seized by the authorities, and that the Cap- tain who is a native of South Caroli- na has resigned. This intelligence was immediately communieated to the cabinet. The Navy Department, at two o'clock received a dispatch from Lieut. James P. Foster, commanding the slaver had been taken before a State judge by a writ of habeas cor- pus; that the judge remanded the pris- oner to his custody on the ground that he bad no guards, and that on his way tt the Bcnita with his prisoner he had been taken by force from his custody by a mob.

Want of space precludes the possie bility of our laying the whole of this important document before our read- ers. We make extracts: The financial liabilities of our citi- zens existing since the fall of 1857, are in a great degree liquidated, or provided for. Upon no community, probably, could the immediate effect of the difficulties of that year have been more serious or severe. And no people have uredo greater exertions and greater sacrifices to meeC their obligee tions than the citizens of Minnesota.— Applying themselves to the task with a hopeful confidence clharacterietie of the Northwest, and an energy which our very air seems to inspire and make universal, they have been largely suc- cessful, and a very early period would hem) witnessed, but for the present fic• titious commercial derangements, an almost complete revival of business and the return of general prosperity. Upon these efforts of our own, a be- nign Providence, which ever seems to favor those who strive, has smiled its blessings, peace, health and plenty. Tho population of the ,State was es- timated in my communication to the Legislature of January, 1860, at one hundred and eighty thousand. The United States Census, taken in June of that year, shows the number of in- habitants to have been about one bun. dred and seventy six thousand. The immigration ,during the Bum- mer months of fatnilies seeking farms and homes, considerably added to the number, but our present population cannot safely be estimated above two hundred thous d. Estimatin the consumption of wheat by our own population, in food and ;weed, at 1,500,000 bushels, the surplus in that article alone will be 3,900,000 bushels, of which 3,150,000 bushels yet remain in the country.— As our other Firm products are raised mainly for domestic consumption, they do not form importaut items of ex- port. The value e,f the products exported from Minnesota in 1859, was estimated at two million dollars. 'I'Ihe e.cporta- bie surplus of the past year may be valued approximately as follows: Grain Pr,t,tto-s Lumber Furs 1•'ranberrice Ginseng Miles Other aril, les A FAMILY JOURNAL DEVOTED TO STATrh IN TEfi.EST3, POLITICS NEWS, AGRICULTURE AND AMUSEMENT.

I should not, however, have deemed it advisable to proceed with the sales, had it not been my opinion, confirmed by the advice of the Attorney General that the grounds on which a perpetual injunction was asked, were untenable, and that the sales could never be suc- cessfully .the and set aside; and further, that it was particularly desira- ble for the State to retake her grant before the present session. Such is a history of Executive ac- tion in this regardsince the adjourn- ment of the last Legislature. By this action, as mac contemplated, the State has again become possessed of her mu- nificent Congressional grant, and the franchiset of the late companies have reverted. In short, we aro in the same condition as to Railroad lands and Railroads as on the day when the Legislature of 1857 assembled in ex- tra session, except that we have about two hundred and forty miles of grad- ed road bed, and something over two and a quarter million dollars of con- ditional State obligations outstanding, as a perpetual warning of the folly of attempting to legislaie Railroads into existence, before the demands of trade and transportation of abundant sur- plus i products, of themselves offer temptations to capitalists to undertake their construction. The extent and urine of the existing agricultural surplus, rind tho certainty of its constant and rapid enlargement, the growth of popnlatiod, and the continually increasing value of the railroad lands seemel to justify the ex- pectation that propositions would bo laid before you by individuals or com- panies of capital and experience, who would undertake the completion of some portion at !cast of our railroads.

The easy and compar- atively cheap transportation which the northern lakes afford to the immense crops 8000 to be the product of our soil and industry, it is wise to endeav- or to secure. Unless) all avenues are opened to ,our trade, it is not difficult to see that occasionally a glut must oc- cur which will reduce the market pri- ces of grain, to a ruinous figure. Sup. pose that in three yeara the wheat sur- plus of Northern Minnesota should amount to three million bushels, would it not be better for the farmer of the Southern counties that this grain sho'd find an outlet by way of the great lakes directly to new York, than that it should come in competition with his green din the markets of Milwaukee, Chicago and St. Louis. The importance of this lake connec- tion and the aontinuons navigation thence to the Eastern sea coast is greatly increased in the minds:of think- ing men, by the national events now transpiring. Should the precipitate madness of sectional excitement lead to any at. tempt to deny to the North-western States the free navigation of the Mis• sissippi to its mouth, and the strife be long which should retake tkat right, these lakes would become oar only means of water transport to the ocean. While, as some suggest, the State might donate the swamp lands along the line of a road to that connection, in consideration of the uncertainty an I delay in relation to any other land grant for such construction, I would bo far from advising it, if it might be- come a pretcedent which should divert the remainder of these lands from oth- er and more legitimate purposes. There are nearly throe million acres of School lands alone. In fifty years from now this should yield an annual revenue which, with a total relief from taxation should raiso onr educational system above the level of that of any State in the Union. There are estima- ted to be five million acres of Swamp Lands, three fiifths of which are prob- ably available to agriculture. 'There are, besides. the University, Capitol and LSalt Spring Lands, and the five per cent. fund. The product of these rich reserves, even if it did not exceed seven million dollars, should com- plete a broad and liberal system of public cherities, asylums, hospitals and prisons, for all the sbjocts of civil guardianship or commiseration. It should pay off our public debt, en, courage public works, erect public buildings, amply endow our Universi• ty and Normal Schools, and co per- fect the social apparatus of Govern- ment, :without the burdens and sacri• !ices without the burdens and sacrifices which it has cost other States to found similar institutions. All these useful and benificent• ob jects are within the resonr es of the public lands granted to the State of Minnesota. The.o resources wisely us- ed, the public credit will remain firm, ly established, while immigration will pour, with a new impulse, into a land which promises the material prosperi- ty of a new State, without its priva• tiens, and the blessings of a mature civilization without its burdens. Minnesota is the first State which has received a double grant of school lands, the States admitted before 1849 having been granted the sixteenth sec- tion only. It thus happens, that we have nearly 3,000,000 acres of school lands, while Ohio- received but one- fourth, and Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin each had about one- thisd of this aggregate. Tho Constitution provides that the proceeds of the school lands shall con- stitute a perpetual school Fund for the State, and that the principal arising from the sales of such lands shall fore over be preserved inviolate and undi• minished. This provision, the eubetance of which is found in the organic laws of all the Northwestern States, is an ex- plicit declaration that the grant of school lands is to bo regarded as a per- petual provision for Education; thus indellibly registering in the text of the Constitution the primary intention of the grant, as interpreted by ordinance of 1787, in that noblest maxim of po- litical science—"That Religion, Moral- ity, and Knowiedge being necessary to good government, Schools and the means of Education shall forever be encouraged." It is the neoessary logical implicas tion of the Constitutional provision, that the school lands should be admin- istered with a view to the permanent interests of the school fund. It is only by adhering to this as a fundamental principle of legislation, by regarding the school lands not as a temporary source of relief from present burdens, but as a provision for the permanent interests of Education that we can rightfully discharge the sacred obliga- tion to posterity which this trust im- poses upon us, or fitly respond to the elevated and paternal policy of the general Government. There has always been a disposition in the new states to burry the school lands prematurely into market, partly originating in the desire of interested parties to obtain possession of these lauds at low prices, and partially from the.impatient eagerness of the pioneer there are indeed some plausible reasons why the picneer should ask that the school lands should be used for his benefit. His are all the struggles and privations incident to the early coloni, zation of the wilderness. By the sweat of hie brow, arelaid the fogndations'of that wealth, whichris to yield the fs- ture revenues of t to State. The ex - pease and ditficalty of maintainsugg schools in our present sparse and per settlements, it is specially alledged, renders local taxation more burden-, some and Legislative aid more wel- come now than at any subsequent peri- od. ' It will at once be perceived that if snsh views were to govern the dispo- sition of the school lands, the object of the grant would be almost wholly defeated, and its prospective benefits lost; that in fact the argument derives its whole force from the necessary con- pition of things in a stage of frontier life, when these lands ars almost whol- ly valveless; and that if all their re- sources were exhausted to meet the present transcient emergency the in- come would be wasted in the vain at-- tempt t•tempt to anticipate the laws of pro- gress, and - remedy inconveniences which can only be outgrown. Let it not be forgotten that the chil- dren who eat our bread are to be our judges, and before we shall pass away, they will rise up in the pieces now oc- cupied by ns., and require of you and me an account of our stewerdship. I am, however, very far from urging that the school lands shall only be die. posed of with a view solely to reali- zing therefrom tho largest ultimate fund. Sueh a principle would imply an indefinite postponement of the sale of the public lands to the prejudice, not only of Education, but of all col- lateral pnblic interests. It is to the general end permanent utility of the fund and not its mere accnmalation as a pecuniary investment that you aro to look, and it is for you to judge how far the public interests may be best subserved in the long run by encroach- ing on the school reserves for the means of education in the infancy of the State. The Constitution places no check ayon legislative action in this matter, except in the provision that no more than one.third of the scboel lands shall be sold in two years, one-third in five years, and ono -third in ten years; and that the most valuable shall bo sold &ret,—an obviously insufficient safe- guard against improvident legislation. Looking, then, at the ultimate iund to be derived from the school lands as a permanent resource of education for all time to coma—it is for you to de- cide, what this magnificent endowment is to bo worth as an instrument of so- cial development to the unborn mill- ions of the future. The essimato now placed upon it will be the witness to posterity of the loftiness or the means nese of the views which actuate us.— This estimate will bo expressed first of all in the minimum price which you shall affix to the lands. The act of 1858, relating to Indians off their reservation without leave, provides that such Indians may be re- moved from the settlements or claims, belonging to fhe white inhabitants, by any Sheriff Constable, or other country or town officer. The piorisione of the law hare seemed alike unknown to the citizens and officers of some localities, and there is a dcffree of uncertainty in the terms of the section alluded to, whicn, porhap•, prevented prompt ac- tion under it in other instances. A law, distinctly clothing the Sheriff with authority to require and enforce the departure from the comity of such roving bands, would doubtless give him great moral power over these ig- norant people, who marvel a; but do not understand the workings of organ- ized civilized government, sufficient without force being actually employed to effect their rem•:val. The amount and manner of compensation for such service should be provided for, to se- cure the interest and prompt attention of the proper officers. The people in the sonth.western. border counties experience the want of an efficient administration of criminal jnstice. Those counties should be de- finitely attaebed to some convenient and more populous county for judicial purposes. The county of Manomin occupies an anomalous and profitless position.— Containing only a total area of only sixteen square miles, less than half a township of land' it is unable to sup- port the burden of a county organiza- tion. It seldom makes a return of votes, has paid no State taxes since its organization, returns no county officer and probably has none. It is evident that the county should never have been created. The territory now com- prised in Manomin, should be annexed to one of the adjacent counties, and I trust you will provide for the annexa- tion by such means as you shall find necessary. The anneal report of the Warden of the State Priaion exhibits the econom- ical manspemeat of that Institution during the put year, natwitbstanding the increasing number of criminals. Isom oversight no appropriation wits made for the salary of the War- den for the year '60; thus with a small balance for clothing, bedding, &c., and for salaries of guards, will require the appropriation of one thousand, four, hundred and ninety-two dollar, which should b ' made at an early day. There are cells provided for thirty- two convicts. Fifteen of them are"oc- cupied, and the balance may be before the session of the next Legislature. It will therefore be your duty to consider what provisions shall be made for the confinement of the convicts when the present limited aceommodatiods shall be exhausted; : This laettfiber •of,eenviets in confinement, should be stated, has increased eleven efface the last year. It it possible a few thousand dollars judiciously expended may furnish all the inereased accommodation revnired, say for a period of gveyears, by.which time, unquestionably the increased population, wealth, resources from swamp lands &c., will enable the State to have an ample and appropriate structure erected for its wants. The trade through Minnesota with Northwerstern British America, is fast becoming an item of the first magni- tude. A steamer already plies regn- laaly upon the Red River, and the gen- tlemen interested immediate y in that trade, assures me that in the coming season another will be placed upou those waters—to be succeded doubt- less, by the extention of steam naviga- tion, through the great rivers west of Lake Winnipeg, to the base of the Rocky Eountains. Dnring the past season, the larg3 freights of the Hudson Bay Company were diverted from the route by that Forthern /Sea, and carried directly through Minnesota. In this connection and because events are fast verifying what was then said, f will repeat part of a communication ;Wade by myself to the Territorial Leg islature of 1852. "Should the Treaty (one with: the Chippeways of Red River) receive the ►pprobation of the Senate, an Ameri- can population will in a short time, le attracted to the occupancy of this legion; and with increased facilities of travel between the settlements North of the International line and the grow - log commercial towng of the Upper Nissippi, the trade of the far North, yet in its.infancy, will attain a magni- tude that the most sanguine do not an• ticipaie. It will not be long before the tedious and uncertain introduction of goods in British bottoms, by tho way of Hudson's Bay, will give place to their cheaper, speedier and more con- venient transit by the Mississippi and Red River. Nor let this be treated as a visionary suggestion. The great cur- rents of the traffic that have enriched cities, have sprung from rills in the first instance, as inconsiderable as the present Red River trade. It becomes us at this early day to consider the fu- ture importance of the commerce of the region north of -International line; and by sagacious forecast secure to the trade of the Upper Mississippi, rester extension and new spheres of e loy- ment, making onr thriving towns cen- tres from which to draw the radii of a vast cir, to of intercourse." The progress of events has given a new force to these suggestions. The glowing importance of onr commer- cial relations with these regions, makes it proper for me to direct your atten- tion to the continuance of burdensome revenue eestrictione upon the interna- tional trade of t;.o west half of the continent which have been abolished in the east half. There seems no good reason why the benefits of the Recip- rocity Treaty between the United States and Canada, should not bo ex- tended to these struggling settlements of the West. The land sales ordered by the Pres- ident of the United States iu October and November of last year, caused great alarm and anxiety among the poor settlers on the public lands; for in the financial disorganization of the three last years, they had been in most instances unable to accumulate money sufficient to enter lands upon which, years of labor had been spent, and where their families had found a home With a view if possible to relieve the distress of these worthy people, I ap• pealed to President Buchanan for a postponement of the sales. In this, I regret to say I was disap- pointed; but in the construction which the Commisioner of the General Land Office at Washington placed upon the pre-emption law, measurable relief was had. But little more than two months ago terminated throughout the States a vigorous but not specially exciting campaign. From the very day when the result of the election became apparent, per- tain of the losers, comprising a large portion of the population of certain of the Southern States, have zealously sought to destroy the government of which rhey had just endeavored to take renewed possession. Why do lately fraternal States, thns seek to dissolve the Union which has so grand resnite, and so prorious mem- erica for them all! , Doubtless the minda of the Southern people are misled tsbd excited by the miserable misrepresentations of the principles, policy and purposes of the now dominant party, made year after year for partizan eudec but the ivanffi- oie;ey-ot some of some of,the pretests offered for secession, by leaders of the movement, the audacity of others, their precipitancy of action, th absence on the one hand, of any snffi lent runt,for their coarse and on t e other their NO. 25. oft -repeated assertion that no concess- ion will'prevent the act, fill the mind with wonder, and leave no doubt that the purpose of destroying the Union has long prevailed in certain minds in the event of not forever ruling it. This conviction gains force from the long continued Conroe of certain late official high in the favor of the chief Execu- tive. but who have resigned, I am sorry -Wiley, instead of being dismissed, whose effort appears to have been to embarrass the finances, destroy the credit, and weaken the ddfencea of the nation, to make its preservation more difficult. The alleged non -execution of the fugitive slave lawand the so called personal liberty bills, seemed to be mere pretexts for a course resolved on for the fugitive slave law is executed in all cases to Nhich it is applied with very rare exceptions, and the personal liberty laws have never prevented or hindered. We at least have n)' occas sion for explanation of justification here. One demand is the restoration in effect of the line of restriction, known as the Missouri Compromise line, but great objections to this con- cession are, that the entire South once declared themselves dissatisfied with it' and that the really disaffected will. not accept it to -day. Their demands are briefly, a slave code for the territories, and a recognition of Slaves as proper- ty by the free States, Wo cannot be. live that such demands are made in good faith. They seem to have been devised purposely to receive a rejection which might be alleged as a reason for a contemplated revolution. Such 'de- mands aro entirely new. Even in the formation of the Constitution of the United States it was not thought prop- er to admit the idea of property in man. Can we now be expected to grant what the slave States of that day thought it not proper to ask?— Such a thing as a slave code has no precedent in onr history. Preci,eiy the contrary—Congressional interdic- tion of slavery in the territories—alas many, both old and more recent. But whatever concession or corns promise might otherwise be made, the preset -treasonable position of one oft the Southern States, and the menacing! attitude of others, the war already lev- ied upon the United States by the seiz- ure of Government property by armed men professedly hostile to United Status authority, demazd, first, the as• sertion of the rights of the nation, and next the recognition of the principle that existing Constitutional agrees meats are to be maintained, and rhes subject, to the Cons'itutiou the ma- jority shall rule, and the minority must submit. After this is well set- tled we can with honor cud security discuss the queetion of new compro- mises. But while the claim of the dlsunioltists that a State may secede from the Union at her own pleesnre, remains practically tin lenied by the general government, it is evident that no compromise or concession will avail, which does not submit the act. ion and judgment of the majority to the fanaticism of the restless and fact- ous few. Any other cotnpronoise tvo'd in fact encourage further rebellion boreafterth. It is erefore c'etr in my cpiuion that t}io nation teeet vindicate itself and es lish again obedience to the constilutional agreements and compro- mises through ell the Length and bof the land. Wo readth are gathered from all the States of the Union and almost a,ll rho civili• zeb nations of the world. We can have no narrow or sectional feeling.— Our interests equally forbid ungener- ous or selfish views. We are a young State, nor yet very numerous or power- ful, but we are for the Union as it is, and the Constitution as it is. We hope, we expect no fraternal war,— Tho blessings of the Union, represent- ation in Congress, the benefits of the postal system, the honors to be won in the various departments of the na- tional service, these every State may participate in, but it i3 unnecessary to force them upon an unwilling people. But the territory, the forts, the arse, nate, the dock -yards, public buildings, ships of war, revenue cutrers, and the revenue, these belong to the whole na- tidn, and these the nation can hardly relinquish with honor. Such I believe to be the sentiment of the whole people of our State, and it may be well for tho legislature now as• sembled, by some solemn act, in fitting terms to express our individual attach- ment to the Coestitutson and the Un-. ion of our fathers and our willingness to contribute whatever of moral or material influence we have to preserve them, now and forever, one and insep- arable.

Linco:n'r; Cabinet; • The latest information which has reached us respecting the composi ion of Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet, indicates that the various Departments will probably be filled abort as follows: State—Wm II. Seward, of N. Y. Treasury—S. P. Chase. of Ohio. Att'y Gen. ---Edward Bates, of Md. War—Simon Cameron of Pa. Navy—Robert F. Scott of Va. Interior—Wm. A. Graham, -of N. Carolina. P. M. Gen.—G. Welles, of Conn Mr. Seward and Mr. Bates have both accepted the pusitiens which have been offered them. Wirh regard to the other gentlemen named, we are not aware that eitherof them has yet re- ceived a positive appointment. With regard to Messrs. Scott and Graham, we do not know how far the negotia, tions have proceeded. The first is a liberal Whig; the second was Secreta-. ry of the interior under Mr. Fillmore, and and was 'the Whig candidate for tito Vice Presidency in 1852, on the same ticket with Gen. Scott. With regard to 111r. Cameron it has been reported for some days past that the Treasury had positively been offer ed him, but we are able to affirm that this is•a mistake. Mr. Lincoln has, the presume, been led to the determin- ation to invite him to a place in the Cabinet; but we imagine that, in any letters that may have been written by Mr. Lincoln on the subject, no decided indication has been given as to the particular portfolio whigh he may de- sire him to accept: As for Mr. Chase there can be no question hat his appointment to the Treasury would be hailed by;the whole, country /with nnanimona approxal.— Ho is not only one of the very ablest, but one of the purest statesmen of the Union, and in extricating the State of Ohio from the financial complications consequent upon the collapse of 1857, he exhibited precisely the talents and vualitics which are now needed at the head of the 'I'reasnry Department.— We shall rejoice if th3 report of his selection for the office proves correct.

On the 12.111 inst., Mr. Seward de- livered a great speech en the political affairs of the day. It is hailed an ems i iently conservative and as calculated to allay the bitter strife which now threatens to rend the confederacy, Mr. Seward took the floor, ile said Congress re -assembled this winter in the presence of a derangement of boa- ieeSS and the disturbance of public, as will as private credit; and in the face -of seditious Combtuatitnls to overthro' the Union. 'lice alarm is appalling: b)r the Ur. ion is not the more the body than liberty is the soul of the nation. He avowed in al? its parts—with Lis 1:ends—with his party—eith his State— rirli his country, or without neither, ne they may determine, in every event, whether of pelve or war, with every consequence of honor er dish•on or, life or death. After elating tin t the Union can bo saved by inutile' tecrirninations 0r-contiuuencu of de- bate on the constitutional power of Congress over the subject of slavery in ; n the territories, or discussing ilk: right of the Federal Government to coerce secedin t States into obedience, ho says if this Gotuu is to ao to ruin, the lat- ter question will give way to a more practicable one whether many seced- ing States have a right ,to •coerce- the retuain;.ng members to acquiesce in dissolution. He abhorred civil war— eel not knew what the Union would is leo worth if saved by the sword, yet he s did not agree with those who. desir• ing to avert the calamity, advised eon- ventional or unopposed separation, eitb a view to what they call a rocon- s4actiun of the Union. The Union can be dissolved, not by secession, but by a voluntary consent of the United btstes. Congress ought not to remain impassive. It ought if it can, redress any real grieveance to the offended States. and then ought to supply the President with all means necessary to tnaiutain the Union by the full exhib- ition and discret exercise of his author- ity. Beyond this, with proper activity on the part of the executive, the res- ponsibility of saving the Union be- longs to the people, and they are abnns lantly competent to discharge it. Air. Seward argued at length on the advaittaaes of union and effects of dis- union, from all points of riew, and proceeded: What is the ground of discontent? It is that the di.uhtiionists did not ac sept as conclusive the argument urged In behalf of the ow cessful candidate in the late canvass denying their own ar- guments against hint. After further remark, he said he agreed that as con- cerns the bondsmen, the law of the Stats within which than is property is supreme, and that on his escape to an- other State, the Constitution regards him a bondsman who shall be deliver- ed, on being claimed, to the party to whom his services is dua. While thinking that arts of Congress on the subject should be modified to prote free nen from being carried into slave] lie agrees that all the laws of State free or slave relating to this class persons. contravening the Coustitutio of the United States ought to bo r pealed and was willing to vate for an amendment that Congress should new er have the power to abolish slaver within the States. I propose whe the angry excitement of the Hous shall subside—one, two, or three year hence, a convention of the people t decide whether any or what changes i the original national law ought to 1 made. Ile was ready to veto for an or what changes in the original na tional law ought to bo made. I shal cheerfully support the government in whatever prudent but energetic efforts it shall snake to preserve and perpetu- ate the Union, advising (lily modern. tion, forbearance and conciliation, and by expressing the conviction that th hoar had not come for this great ns tion to Gall. Woe! woe to the man who madly lifts his baud against it.— It shall continua and endure, and tnen in after times shall declare that this generation which saved the Union from sudden and unlooked fo- danger, surpassed in magn ficeuee even that one which laid its foundation on the eternal principles of liberty. justice and humanity. 11;1SP(IYGS INDEPENDENT The Official Paper of the County. An Independent Republican Family Journal. HASTINGS, MINNESOTA, JAN. 17, 1861. Gov. Ramsey's Message. Extracts from this able document will bo found on our outside. The entire message requires careful reading, as it is a general compilation of all the matters of interest that is now pre- sented to the people of the State.— It is to he regretted that the columns of the Independent will not admit of its pnblication entire—it is hoped how• ever, that wo have given enough to make the position of the Governor nderstoo 1, We regret that the Governor has not been more direct in pointing out his plan for the adjustment of our Railroad diflicu;ties—an ambiguous and non•cotnmittal course upon grave questions, affecting the interest of the State, both present and prospective, unworthy the Executive head o tate in his annual Message. Clear istinctneee and boldness are reqs et The Way of the Transgressor is Hard. Dr. Foster, for whom we entertain none bat the most friendly feelings, and who bas for the last three years occupied a most prominent position as publisher of the most influential Re- publican Journal st the capitol, was defeated in the Legislature for State Printer a few days ago. If long ser- vice in the cause, marked ability as a writer, and persevering energy are the elements of promotion, Dr. Foster ought to have had the public printing. We apprehend they are not, and be- lieve that the want of fidelity on the part of the Doctor to the cause be first started out in, has shorn him of the honors and deprived him of emolu- ments, which otherwise he had so just- ly won. Two years ago Dr. Foster occupied a most enviable position before the people of this State—two years ago his name was the synonym of justice her. self pleading for an outraged and swindled people, and as such ho was honored and respected. Local•ques- tioes ever have the most abiding lodge- ment with the manses, and to the local f the lanes alone must Dr. Foster look for visite won his character as a writer and a nes„, his defeat. Upon the local issues he in speaking upon all matters of public interest. The complicated nature of some State issues may induce a less outspoken course on the part of the Governor tban we think is desirable, and in this alone do we object to the Message. Gov. Ramsey has shown himself equal to the emergency when no other alternative is presented. His firmness seems to all be reserved for the moment of action, and then he is truly great. No outside pressure, no considerations of public or private friendship seems to away him for the moment. He has a mind to grasp whatever subject is presented, and his judgment is geuerally correct, we look for him when he is obliged to act to bo on the side of truth, justice and j honor. The Railroad Qnestien. Wm. L. Banning, the great St. Paul shyster, has given birth to a Railroad scheme in the shape of an amendment to the Constitution, which appropri- ates the Railroad Bonds already issued for Railroad purposes, to what might bo termed the Grand Trunk Line, con• necting at La Crosse or Winona east, Y and running to West .St. Paul and „, Minneapolis, with an additional line of front St. Paul via St. Anthony to An- n oka.

It seems from all that we can learn, that from some quarter or other, during the day on Saturday, news had come to the Ferry that the Goyetnmot:t had dis• patched a force of United States troops to take possession of the Arsenal at the Ferry, and hold it—its army, stores and munitions of war—in view of the reported march that w•ns to be made by insurgents in the border States on the Capitol at Washington. This re- port threw the Harper's Ferry Ieople. especially the employees in the Arsenal, of whom there are between three and four hundred, into a state of the wild- est excitenhent, and straightway the cry was, "'To arms ! to arms!” Ac- cordingly, when the express train that leaves Baltimore at 4 in the evening and arrives at the ferry about 8 o'clock had crossed the long bridge and roach - ed the latter plar'e, the passengers were astonished to find some. three hundred armed men, drawn up in battle array, ready to welcome the United States solei:ery 'with bloody hands to hospit- able graves'—or in other words, in smiting to enact a scene before which all the high extravaganzas yet played ff by South Carolina should pale into niter insignificance. 1' ,teeatoly for the pence and the ever after reputation of the country --and fortunately, per, haps, for the three hundred Inctt in nems, there were no Uuite,l States troops aboard. None thee anybody on the train knew of, were expected to le sent. Of the particulars as to how all this false alarm originated, we toctld not learn, as the train stopped ,)1 the Ferry bet a little n hi!e. We 'hall Jtoubtless know more by to•mor- !ow. man, and upon these must he blame his gradual decline of influerce and his failure before the Legielatnre. Three years ago when the Legisla- ture sprung the Five Million Loan Bill on the people, the Indepesdent was first to denounce the infanheus meas- ure, but it was not long before the M n- nesotian opened her batteries in the same cause, and with a yeare'siege the thing had erumbled, and the people saw it as it was, an infamous swindle —they repudiated it, and Dotter Fos- ter was honored, for he done more ef. fectivo service than any other man.— We thought he was true and the peo- ple were likewise impressed, atd things would have been right, both as to Dr. Foster and the people of the State, had not be in looking over the field of conquest found some dilapidated earth works—graded road beds—Ind some worthless paper floating as Itailroad Bonds, which be attempted to appro. priate as the spoils of victory These were his ruin as we fear they will be the ruin of others, and a dire calamity to the State. They were wrong first and last, and every attempt at mending them will be like putting a patch on the bottom of a rust eaten tin pail ; the patch is lost and the labor of put- ting it on; the whole bottom must come out and good strong tin applied before any thing can be supplied to the State. Schemers understand this and the more wortdhles9 the measure the better they like_ -e- for they are able to appropriate everything that leaks of taxes. Beantiful !

'rhe Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes :-- 'Senator Trumbull is having his resi- dence put in first rate order for the re- ception of his expected guest, the President elect, who is expected here in February. Bars. Lincoln will be accompanied by her sister Mrs. Ed- warde, from whose roof, by the way, she eloped with "Old Abe," then a brieflesa attorney. . THE NEWS The Star of the Weat despatched to Fort Sumpter with reinforcements was actually fired into by the Settth Caro. lima authorities. Two'8hots took eff- ect on the vessel and she put out to sea. A great deal of war -like news has been flashed over the telegraph lines but at last accounts matters were mors quiet. Maj. Anderson had des• patched an officer of truce to Charles. ton, and the reply of Gov. Pickens who acts for the rebels was defiant. A Message has been sent to Washington from Anderson asking for instructions, since which the Star of the West bas landel her troops, not at Fort Sumpter but at Governor's Island, just below New York. Gov. Pickens sent a de- mand to the Gov ernment for $8,000 due him for services as Minister, and has been paid ef by a draft on the sub. Trearury at Charleston. The Admin. istration seems firm in the position that Fort Sumpter shall be sustained. Six States are now out of the Union, so far as the action of the States in Convention are concerned—the States seceding are South Carolina, Alabama Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. Seward's speech has done much towards allaying the excited state of the public mind. The south• ern mobs have taken possession of several forte on the southern ooast, and a most menacing attitude is assumed. Sonth Carolina, Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi, so far as they can ac- complish the purpose by their own action, have seceded4om the Union. The Mississippi members withdrew from Congress yesterday, and those from the other seceding States will follow their example. This action gives the Republicans a majority in both the Senate and House, and will put it in the power of the government to adopt the most decisive policy. Gen. Scott appears to be the con- trolling spirit in the Executive coun- cils at present. This provokes the disunionists, and they are liberal in their abuse of the old hero and of the President. A duel is said to he in prospective between Senator Toombs and the General; but of conrse it, will never be allow,: to transpire. Gen. Dix, of New York, has just gone into the Cabinet, and it is now doubtless a unit, if, as we iudge, Goy. Thomas of Maryland has also retired—on the sub- ject of enforcing the laws. Military are being concentrated at tho capitol, to protect the public property, and to resist any attempt to interfere with Mr. Lincoln's inauguration. The southern forts are mostly occu- pied by State troops. At Baton Rouge, Louisiana, two companies of United States troops under command of Major Haskins were forced to sur- render to 600 Louisiana soldiers, the Arsenal at that place, with its military stores. All tate gulf forts, with the exception of Fort Pickens at Pensa• c -,la, are in the hands of the recession- i91a. Tho news this morning docs not e coinage the expectations we were r Gently led to form of Mr. Buchanan. Fort Sumpter is not to be reinforce The battery on Mortis Island h struck terror to the soul of the Pres dent. An American ship has bee driven from an American harbor, an there is no one in all this wide nation with the power and time will to punish the insult. Those who have the power have not the will, and those who have the will have not the power. As if to rub its insolence into the marrow o the nation, the South Carolina Com missionere now demand the uncondi- tional evacuation of Fort Sumpter. Mr. Bigler's Compromise covers more space in the telegraphic reports than its merits warrant. 1t is Critten- den's Compromise revamped. While the Charleston Mercury is urging the people of Florida to seize all the United States Forts within the borders of that State, and suggesting the organization of marauding expedi•• tions against the commerce of the peo- ple of the Pacific coast, the House of Representatives of Massachusetts, is engaged in the consideration of meas, urea of relief for the suffering thous- ands of South Carolina, whose cries for bread are being heard above the din of sectional clamor and disunion. e- d. as 1- 11 CABINET ITaxe.—The Springfield correspondent of tho Cincinnati Com- mercial of the 10th—a very reliable authority—says that Chase has with- drawn his declination of the Secretary. ship of the Treasury, and has the mat- ter under advisement - It is denied that Henry Winter Da- vis has been tendered a place in the Cabinet. 07" In Chicago, on Friday, ex- change was very fluctuating again, consequently transaotions were limited There was sorne demand in the early part of the day at five and six per trent but before cloning of Banks, the de- mand subsided, and rates advanced to seven and eight and held firm at that figure.

Mr. Eorroa:--Our whole village was thrown into the moat intense ex- citement yesterday morning, (Friday, 11th.) through a repott that Mrs. Flan- igan, ayoung lady who was joined in the holyfionds of matrimony. On in- quiry, j found ,the following to be the facts of the case: It seems that on Friday morning last the young lady was married to Mr. Flannegan, at Spring Lake. The cere- mony being over, the happy couple jumped into a sletgb, and started for home, some ten miles distant. When within ten miles from home, the young lady complained of being cold—she had on her head only a light bonnet. Her husband offered to stop at a neigh. boring house; but she resisted, saying —"we will soon be home." These were the last words she uttered. Her husband spoke to her several timee,bnt got no reply; paying very little atten. tion to the fact, he drove on, noticing, however, that his bride was unusually pale. On ariving at his house, Mr. Flan- negan got out, and calling to his wife. said they had reached home. She not moving, he instantly became alarmed, and upon taking hold of her to assist her out of the sleigh, to bis horror !— Good God ! she was dead. He found her white and motionless --her beautiful eyes tvero tightly shut her once coral lips were bloodless there she sat, the very impress of death rest ing upon her sweet, still face. Ho im- mediately called in the neighbors. -- Physicians were sent for. but could do nothing—she had gone to rest forever. So extraordinary a death the Doc- tors determined to investigate, and up. on a post mortem examination, it was found she had died of 'Pleurisy on the Brain," or as it is sometimes called, ''Frozen Brain" --occasioned by wearing a light bonnet. Here, then, Mr. Editor, is a severe warning to the votaries of fashionable bonnets, when riding out in the cold. The peer husband is distracted, his hie bright visions of a happy home have bred -sundered and dashed to the ground. Respectfully yours, — I'.,IlhoINNRse.

Governor elect were inaugurated this afternoon. The Gov• ernor's address favors measures fur the purpose of giving greater effici ncy to the present very delective militia laws of the State. The importance of a well dlilled military organization cannot be overrated in the present condition of national affairs. Treat- ing 00 national affairs, lie says the Manning and treasonable assumption that any State has a right to secede under the Constitution, is a thing un- known to the Constitution; at war with the principles on which our gov- ernment was established, and destruc- tive to those high and sacred objects sought to be accomplished by the con- federation If the position assumed by the sonth is true, that the result of a Presiden- tialclection legally and constitutionally The Yankee Aladdin. Prayer In Fort Sumter—An Imposing Scene. BY 0. W. CURTIS. Aladdin began by swapping jack- knives and ge'ting the best, and bar- tering halves of marbles stuck togeth- er for %thole ones. When he grew older, and sold berries which he pick- ed on the hill pastures, he greased the quart pot, s0 that a little capital was carried forward to the next measure.— He hayed hard all summer, and went to evening schools all winter, and learned the golden rule of arithmetic, addition for himself, substraction for his neighbor; and in all the games, he held strictly to the rales of Turna- bout; "You tickle me, and I'll tickle yon, if I can; but at all events you tickle me." At an early age, Aladdin was con- sidered to be good at a bargain, which moaant that he always succeeded in exchanging the worse for the better; always keeping the blind cye of a horse to the wall when he wanted to sell him, and always looking straight at it when lie wanted to buy him; and the approving village shook its head, and said, 'Let Aladdin alone to suc- ceed.' Ile grew up and left the village for the world. 'He'll bo rich!' said the village, with more enthusiasm and en- vy than any village says of a departing boy: 'He'll be honest, faithful, gener.

The Cotton States would dissolve the Union because the Fugitive Slave Law is not enforced in every instance. Would disunion rem- edy that evil ? Certainly not. It would do away with the law entirely. 'Thos° States would go out, because:, as they say, they cannot carry their sl ,vas into the Tcrritol i°s and hold them there. Will disunion give them the 'Territories?

Barnum thinks the President's late Cabinet s'Oabinet of curiosities,' and wants to purchase it. The Baltimore American of Monday, has the following story: One of the Baltimoreans who resents ly returned from Fort Sumter, details an impressive incident that took place there on Maj. Anderson taking posses- sion. It is known that the American flag brought away from Fort Moultrie was raised at Sumter precisely at noon on the 26th ultimo, but the incideu:s of that "flag raising" have not been related. It was a scene that will be a memorable reminiscence of those who witnessed it. A short time before noon Maj. Anderson assembled tho whole of his little force, with the workmen then employed on the fort, around the foot of the Flag Staff. The national ensign was attached to the cord, and Major Anderson holding the end of the 1;ne in his hands, knelt reverently down. The officers, soldiers, and teen clustered around, many of them on their knees, all steeply impressed with the solemnity of the scene. The chip lain made an earnest prayer—such an appeal for support, encouragement and mercy and mercy as site would make who felt that "man's extremity is God's opportunity." As the eai nest, solemn words of the spanker ceased, and the men responded "amen" with a fervency that perhaps they had never cheap and sell dear. For him there was no beauty, no heroism, no piety, no history.

So firm i3 our belief that the prime object of the Company- seeking this Grand Trunk legislation, is t., realize par for the bonds•_lvhich they hold, aryl when this is accomplished. that the interests of the State will 'be left to shift for themselves, that we believe it would be better policy for the State to forego the attempt to settle the bond question at all, at present. The amend• ments to the Con -tinnier) just passed,. have placed tbe settlement of these in the hands of the people and when the State shall have the nbility, we are satisfied that substantial justice will be done to the holders. At present we cannot pay either principle or in- terest. It is idle to 'talk about it. If we lay aside the bonds for the present, we shall find our railroad question much simplified. The State has a re -possession of the roe Is, roads beds, lauds and franchises pertaining to all the original lines. Let our Leg- islature enact open charters, granting alt these, to such company or compa- nies as will agree• to complete the roads upon the lines as first proposed.

THE DIFFERENCE. -The crifference between a republi and a monarchy is thus truthfully pioittte•l out by some- body: "Pile all the people into a pyramid, with the President for an apex, and yon have a symbol of a Republic - Yon,can shake the Presideut, but you cannot move the unite' forco of the people. Invert the pyramid, with a king for its base, and you have a gyms bol of a monarchy. Trip up that king, and the whole structure falls into confusion." Ma.

Unwar- rantable as have been these procedures in other States, the act on the part of Louisiana will be peculiarly flagitious. Every foot of her territory was bought by the money of the Union; and not only this, more sacrifice has been made by the free states to protect ber inter- ests thanhas been accorded to any oth- er single state. She alone of all the States has undertaken the cultivation of sugar; and to enable her to do so with profit—a profit of at least twenty per cent. on the investment—the rest of the country Las submitted to duty of twenty•four per cent. ad valorem on all imported sugars, equivalent to about two cents per pound; though, in spite of the protection. Louisiana bas bean able to supply but a small por- tion of the sugar consumed in the country. In her interests, too, a duty of five or six cents per gallon has been levied on foreign molasses. The poorer classes need these aitieles, and have had to suffer, that the thirteen hundred sugar estate proprietors of Louisiana might luxuriate. If Louisiana now chooses to turn against the hand that has fed her, it is high time this pam• pering process should cease. The Federal Government, of course, can- not acknowledge her out of the Union, but it can cease from loading her with benefits which she repays only with trensor. The new tariff bill, which will probably soon become a law, ought to be amended, on the very day it is known that Louisiana has voted herself out of the Union, so as to take away every cent of import duty on foreign sugar and molasses; and these articles, like tea and coffee, should bo thenceforth free. This action cannot be too summary. - It will be only the si nplest justice. Generous fotbear- ance, in a ease like this, would be only pitiful weakuess. It is very likely that Louisiana calculates npon setting up for herself, and yet retaining all the substantial benefits of the Union.— Her mistake cannot bo too speedily brought home to her. Off with the sugar and molasses!

The National Intelligencer suggests the following plan to Wog South Car - aline to it realizing Renee of her de- pendence upon the Federal Guveins meut, without at all constraining her independent action, or interfering with her right to remain unrepresented in the National Government. It strikes us that this letalone policy would not only avoid the horror of a civil ws.r, but would be most effective in restor- ing the seceding States of the Union, that conld be adopted: "When we consider diet the collec- tion of the Federal revenuee at South Carolina, entails at best, a dead loss upon the Government, it is a:•parent that considerations of economy (which in the present condition of the treasu- ry should be weighty,) combine *ith those of administrative prudence, to advise a suspension of so much of the act of March 2, 1799, for the collec- tion of duties on imports and tonnage, and make Georgetown, Beaufort and Charleston, in South Carolina ports of entry. The repeal or suspension of the thirteenth and other sections of this act, so far as they relate, to the State of South Carolina, would have for its effect to relieve the p-csident from the duty of collecting the revenues in those ports; and would at the same time re- lieve South Carolina of what she re- gnrds as the odious domination of Federal laws. The legal effect of such a course on the part of the Federal Government would be that if any for- eign vessel should thereafter enter, or attempt to enter these ports with duti- able goods, she would be subject to seizure by our revenue cutters and for- feiture under laws. And if the effect of auch liability should bo to place South Carolina, with regard to foreign nations in a state of Commercial iso- lation, it would be nothing more than the natural and inevitable consequence of the position she has assume 1 in the eye, and under the public law of the civilized world." 'The movement in South Carolina should spread to other Southern states, and if they, in like manner, should' pass ordinances of secession, the lapse of Federal authority might bo retrieved in each, and in the same way. Then when the secession fever has run its The WiLos Reveuge—Tragic Eud of a Faithless Husband . The New York Express relates the following singular story: "Some eight years ago a handsome young Polander woed and won a dam. eel from his own waive land. Every- body being willing the nuptial rite was performed, and the happy couple took up their abode in this city, where Mr. P— eerned a comfortable sub- sistence.

If we hold this Union, and all the rights it se- cures to ns, and all the hopes we base upon it, upon the will or whim of a single State, then, indeed, it is the weakest Government ever -devised by man.

During the last three days. indeed, both written and verbal ' appliances ha ' n brought to bear upon the 0 of this soliditude, to induce his committal on some of the measures contemplated in connection with the adjustment of tile present internal difi- culties. But, although this is done by influential parties, I am freo to say, that Mr. Lincoln very properly and determinedly refuses to add the mo- mentum of his opinion, officially ex- pressed, to the Congressional machine He thinks it both is duty and privi- lege to abetain from any interposition In the deliberations of the National Council, until he shall be duly install- ed in the White House. Yet this dis- inclination to speak as Preeident of the United Stairs in the premises to the contrary notwithstanding, ho does not hesitate to express his opinions on the subject in question privately whenever called upon to do so in a proper man- ner. Hence, without pretending to speak by special authority, I can state positively, that he is utterly opposed to Cri tenden's resolutions; that Big. ler's scheme finds no more favor with him; that Senator Douglas last remes dy is not relished by him; that he has many objections to Tom Corwin's re- port, and that the Border State propo- sitions alone would recieve his counte- nance, provided a constitutional amendment could be secured, condi- tioning the further acquisition of ter- ritory by the Federal Government on the consent of two thirds of the States. homer said jobny. who !no made np Not a Legal Teeder—Gen Sanfetd.

At a caucus held in Wash, ington, according to this account, they resolved to resume to themselves the political pow r of the eofith, to control all political and military operations for the present; they telegraphed to complete the plan of seizing forts, ars senals and custom houses, advised con- ventions now in session or soon to AS. eemble to pass ordinances for inamedi- ato secession and a .vised a seceding convention at Nlontgolnery, on the 13th of Fehuary.—They also resolved to force the Legislatures of Tennessee.

A writer in the Easton, (Pa.) Times gives an interesting sketch of the life of Carl Schurz. He was born thirty- two years ago in Bonn, on the Rhine, near the Prussian dominiane. In 1349 he joined the Constitutional army, and sharing its reverses was sentenced to death for high treason. For throe days and nights, after the Prussians had ens tered Rastadt, he lay concealed in a shed on a beam or rafter, just wide enough to conceal his person from the eyes of those who stood below. A guard of some kind was stationed in the very bonito to which the shed be- longed, and every night the soldier, assembled on the floor, beneath his biding place to dance to the music of the trumpet.

BRECRINRIDGE PLATFORM. 1. That the Government of a Ter- ritory organized by an act of Congress, is provisional and temporary; and du- ring its existence, all citizens of the United States have an equal right to settle with their property in the Terri- tory, without their rights, either of person or property, being destroyed or impaired by Congressional or Territo- rial legislation. 2. That it is the duty of the Fede• ral (.Government, in all its departments to protect when necessary, the rights of persons and property in the Territories and wherever else its constitutional authority extends. 3. That when the settlers in a Ter- ritory having an adequate population, forth a state Constitution, in pursuance of law, the right of sovereignty coin- mences, and, being consummated by admission into the Union, they stand on an equal footing with the people of other states; and the stave thus organi- zed ought to be admitted into the Fed- eral Union, whether its Constitution prohibits or recognizes the institution of slavery. CRITTENDEN'S COMPROMISE. Resolved, That by the Senate and House of Representatives, the follow- ing article be proposed and submitted as an amendment to the Constitution, which shill be valid as part of the Con• stitntion, when ratified by the Conven- tions of three-fourths of the people of the states: First: In all the Territoliea now or hereafter acquired north of latitude thir- ty degrees thirty minutes slavery or involuntary servitude, except for the punishment for crime, is prohibited - while in all the Territory south of that latitude slavery ie hereby recognized as existing, and shell not be interfered with by Congress, but sliall be protec- ted as property by all departments of the Territorial Government during its continuance. All the Territory north or south of said line, within such boun- daries as Congress may prescribe, when it contains a population necessary for a Member of Congress, with a republi- can form of government, shall be acl.- nritted into the Union on an equality with the original states, with or with- out slavery, as the Constitution of the state shall prescribe. We publish the above to show the similarity between the Breckenridge Platform and the Crittenden Compiu- mise and to show how utterly opposed Henry Clay was to tho principles of either.

A man is not educated until he has the ability to summon. in case of an emergency, all his mental powers in vigorous exercise to effect his proposed object. It is not the man who has seen moat, or who has read moat, who San do this; such a man is in danger of being borne down, like a beast of burden, by an overloaded mass of other men's thoughts, Nor is it a man that can boast merely of native vigor and capacity. The greatest of all the warriors that went to the siege of Troy, had the pre eminence not be- cause nature had given him strength, and he carried the largest bow but be- cause self-discipline had taught him taught him how to bend it. -Daniel Webster.

The excitement and alarm in rela,. tion to the seiaure of this" capitol by the insurgents in Virginia and Miry - land, have been again provoked by recent developments made to General Scott and Cabinet. I speak that which 1 know When I say that the fan- ied security of the wee]: past has giv- en way, and that in the circles Som - posed of men whose business it is to guard this place, the ntmost apprehen- sion exists. The alarm, wisely enough has notbeen communicated to the pub- lic; hence the property -holders and others here who have permanent inter- ests in the proapel•ity of the city still fancy that the storm has passed over, and that they may go to bed in peace. But there is no doubt that a widely- extended idelyextended conspiracy for the armed oc- cupation of Washington exists; and that to that end the minute men of two adjoining states are drilled, now, as the time approaches, daily. The plan is supposed to bring into the city quietly before a given day, a sufficient number of secessionists with arms, and on a preconcertod night and a gid - en hour, come forth from their hiding places and take possession of the great public buildings -the Capitol, the Post Office, the War and Navy De- partrnants, &e -and, as each one of these has the strength and eoliclity of a first class fortification, hold them, as they might, until reinforcements could come. Letters setting ,forth these plans with great particularity are con stantly coming to the officers of the Cabinets from all parts of the south. They are from sources which entitle them to the utmost respect, and they aro addreesed to men who cannot be fooled by bug -a -boos which alarmists invent. Sufficient for me to say that they are, after being compared with each other, sifted out and examined, as far as practicable, in regard to their alleged facts, convincing to the milita- ry men here; and that General Scott has made them and the result of his independent observations, the subject of a communication to the President as Commander in -Chief, in which he dons not hesitate to declare that the safety of the city is imperilled and that against the forces in organization for attack, he cannot answer for its safety with the means at his command. Tito President is still vascillating and doubtful -promising to day and re- tracting to morrow -advising with Scott and Holt in the morning, and sending for Slidell in the afternoon. - Ile will not see, or seeing wilfully dis• believes the danger; and hoping that nothing will be required, leaves every- thing undone.

I answer: I have earefnily reviewed the testimony in said case, end in my opinion Brown committed' no off nee against the Fed- eral Government meriting such severe punishment as he received.

THE LOWEST TYPE OF HUMANITY. -- We take the following extract from the article on'13arbarietn and Civilization,' in the Atlantis Monthly. In the interior of the island of Bor- neo there has been found a certain race of wild creatures, of which kindred varieties have been discovered in the Phillippine Islande,iin 'Terra del Fue- go, and in Southern Africa. ']'hey walk usually almost erect neon two legs, and in that attitude measure about four feet in hight; they are dark wrin- kled and hairy; they construct no habitations, form no families, scarcely associate together, sleep in trees or in caves, feed on snakes and vermin, ori ants' eggs, on mice, and on each other; they cannot be tamed, nor forced to any labor; and they are hunted and shot among tho trees, like gorillas, of which they are a stunted copy. When they aro captured alive, ono finds, with surprise, their uncouth jabbering sounds like articulate language; they turn up up a human face to gaze upon their captor; the females show instincts of modesty; and, in fine, these wretched beings are men. ,'Fifty tensor load were bargain ed for in New York a few days since; but on the order being given to ship, it to Savannah, -the state of Georgie proposing to pay for it, -the dealer immediately replied, "sir you cannot have this lead. The motive for its purchase is evident, and I will never coneent to supply bullets to those who propose to destroy the Union by civil war." And the Georgians did not get the Lead. When men, by age, fail in their sight and hearing, they had better console themselves with the thought that they had seen and heard quite enough.

Our Schools. Ms. Euta•on: — Believing that the time has arrived, when the subject of tho education of our youth becomes an important ono, I would crave the benefit of your columns for a few thoughts relating thereto. The opinion generally prevails that the wealth of the State should educate its children, and the Legislatures have universally acted with this principlo in view, but yet every one must ack— non•lelga that our present common c s school syetom is far from reaching the (Teel' ed end. s s No one general system can be made applicable to all luealitios. The dense ti la ly populated districts, can maintain, ti schools more econemicelly, and of a! better character. titan can those sparse• 0 Ir inhabited. These facts feta con- 1 vic ion to thn•miud of the careful ob—1 L server that different systems must pre- ti veil in different localities. 1 b In this city the common schools fdl to give satisraction—they are in—! 10 adequate to the edacatien of the youth of the city, and this is perhaps more tr from the waut of a systelnati ; at range- al rnent in the school+, than from a want m of the requisi e means. In the city of Hastings the taxable, property, real and personal, is esti :t a. ted at about $400.01.. Two and a ball mills of each dollar of this amount is appropriator) for school pur• poses, making a fund in this school district of about 81,000 a year, cer- tainly means enough to sustain one first class school a year, or two six months. Our schools instead of being objects of pride and interest, havo been but the form, lackiug tnaterially in the ele- ments of progressive education. A remedy is demanded and it thought not to be too early to move in that direct— lion. This change cannot bo immedi- ate, the old errors can only be eradi— cated by degrees, and as new and bet- ter are introduced, and their utility proved by practical application. In a city the size of Hastings, the Graded System is the only one that, will meet the wants of the communis ty, and yet there is a difficulty, which may prove fatal to the adoption of the system—and that difficulty is the inadequacy of the school fund to sup port the Graded System. With 81,700 per annum the city might sustain a school. A principal cold be secured for 8800 and two as- sistants for $400 each, while the inci— dental expenses would probably not exceed $100. This 8700 over and above the sett( of fund, is app • randy fatal to the movement. But it is not necessarily so. That 87 JO may be supplied by a vote of the city, or by the munificence of citizens who desire their children to have the benefit of a school. It can be demonstrated that the Graded System is the best and most economical yet devised. Ila alvantages are partly the adop• tion of uniform text books, the cies- eification of pupils in accordance with the progress they have made, and their promotion as they meter their stud - lea. The system has been adopted in all the large cities and is said to work admirably, and is asserting its claims for universal introduction wherever the 11ASTIIWS EPENIIII'1)f A FAMILY JOURNAL DEVOT�':O TO STATE INTERESTS, POLITICS,, NEWS, AGRICULTURE AND AMUSEMENT.

Whether the city of Hastings will take measures for the immediate adop- tion of the Graded S pool System may be problematical, but that sho ul- timately will, is as ctain as that the march of intellectual improvement is onward and upward. For the Independent. Diphtheria. MR. EDITOR,—As the subject of Diphtheria is ono of considerable inter- est in the community at present, per- haps a few remarks in regard to it may be interesting. Diphtheria -is a peculiar disease, in— flnmmatory probably, of the mucus membranes, manifesting iteell princie Pally in the throat, leading to the for- mation of false membranes, or coat- ing the surfaces over with a layer of coagulable lymph, resembling some- what the white of an egg partially boiled, or paste made of wheat flour, and is usually accompanied with a de- pressed and otherwise very unfavoras hie state of the general system. This coating is very apt to extend into the sir passages, indeed st often commences in the nostrils, and when it reaches the wind -pipe produces the most unrnan- ageable form of croup. This is the manner in which many cases terminate fat�slly, but not all. It is one of the most severe diseases we meet with.— It is fatal in a large proportion of the case attacked, under the best treatment we have yet devised. We have something like the forma- tion of false membranes, and coating of the throat, in patches, in other dis— eases, mostly In the last stage of fatal ases. But these should not be con— idered as cases of Diptheria. We es deposits of lymph also in severe ore throat or Cynauche Maligua, and bad cases of ficarlet Fever, or Scar - tine A nginosa, or Maligns. But :ese arc not Diphtheria. They may rcvnil together, but they do separately. r, cases of one may occasionally °r- ear r-ear where the other is prevailing..— .at this is not necessarily the case, ley are by no means identical, and tould not be confounded. The trent- tent fee one is only partially adapted the other, and is not successful. Scarlet fever and malignant, or pus id sore throat, are severe diseases, td often prove fatal, at the com meuce- eat of an outbreak, but they are riot so much to be dreaded as Diph- theria. .An epideruic of thorn does no' last so long, and they are much more amenable to treatment. As to remedies, quinine and iodine have held their places in the estima— tion of physicians. The iodide iter- ctlry is considered one of the most val- uable remedy we possess But all rem• edies have failed, and I think it may be truthfully said that we have not yet hit upon a plan of treatment that promises to be anything like generally successful. We learned yesterday that Presi— dent Lincoln, many years ago, descens (led the river in a flatboat as supercar cargo. The flatboat tied up at the plantation of Col. Ferguson, on the. opposite side of the river. The Colo• eel having some wood he wished chop- ped, employed the flatboat hands to do the job for him, and Abe, the su- percargo, sprang in and helped.— When Col. Ferguson was in Washing- ton, while the raileplitter was a mem— ber of Congress, the latter sought him out and renewed the old acquaintance. Last week the Col. was in Washing- ton, when the President sent hie card. Col. Ferguson again called upon him and they had a chat about old tithes and the present price of wood. —Mew phis Appeal.

D'an Swift said, it is useless for us t0 attempt t0 reason a man out of a thing he never has been reasoned in— to." If a man cheats yon once, blame him; if a second time, blame your- self. In matters of conscience, the first thoughts aro the best; in matters of prudence, the last. He who labors for mankind, with- out a care for himself, has already bee gun his immortality.

Our Schools. Ms. Euta•on: — Believing that the time has arrived, when the subject of tho education of our youth becomes an important ono, I would crave the benefit of your columns for a few thoughts relating thereto. The opinion generally prevails that the wealth of the State should educate its children, and the Legislatures have universally acted with this principlo in view, but yet every one must ack— non•lelga that our present common c s school syetom is far from reaching the (Teel' ed end. s s No one general system can be made applicable to all luealitios. The dense ti la ly populated districts, can maintain, ti schools more econemicelly, and of a! better character. titan can those sparse• 0 Ir inhabited. These facts feta con- 1 vic ion to thn•miud of the careful ob—1 L server that different systems must pre- ti veil in different localities. 1 b In this city the common schools fdl to give satisraction—they are in—! 10 adequate to the edacatien of the youth of the city, and this is perhaps more tr from the waut of a systelnati ; at range- al rnent in the school+, than from a want m of the requisi e means. In the city of Hastings the taxable, property, real and personal, is esti :t a. ted at about $400.01.. Two and a ball mills of each dollar of this amount is appropriator) for school pur• poses, making a fund in this school district of about 81,000 a year, cer- tainly means enough to sustain one first class school a year, or two six months. Our schools instead of being objects of pride and interest, havo been but the form, lackiug tnaterially in the ele- ments of progressive education. A remedy is demanded and it thought not to be too early to move in that direct— lion. This change cannot bo immedi- ate, the old errors can only be eradi— cated by degrees, and as new and bet- ter are introduced, and their utility proved by practical application. In a city the size of Hastings, the Graded System is the only one that, will meet the wants of the communis ty, and yet there is a difficulty, which may prove fatal to the adoption of the system—and that difficulty is the inadequacy of the school fund to sup port the Graded System. With 81,700 per annum the city might sustain a school. A principal cold be secured for 8800 and two as- sistants for $400 each, while the inci— dental expenses would probably not exceed $100. This 8700 over and above the sett( of fund, is app • randy fatal to the movement. But it is not necessarily so. That 87 JO may be supplied by a vote of the city, or by the munificence of citizens who desire their children to have the benefit of a school. It can be demonstrated that the Graded System is the best and most economical yet devised. Ila alvantages are partly the adop• tion of uniform text books, the cies- eification of pupils in accordance with the progress they have made, and their promotion as they meter their stud - lea. The system has been adopted in all the large cities and is said to work admirably, and is asserting its claims for universal introduction wherever the 11ASTIIWS EPENIIII'1)f A FAMILY JOURNAL DEVOT�':O TO STATE INTERESTS, POLITICS,, NEWS, AGRICULTURE AND AMUSEMENT.

Whether the city of Hastings will take measures for the immediate adop- tion of the Graded S pool System may be problematical, but that sho ul- timately will, is as ctain as that the march of intellectual improvement is onward and upward. For the Independent. Diphtheria. MR. EDITOR,—As the subject of Diphtheria is ono of considerable inter- est in the community at present, per- haps a few remarks in regard to it may be interesting. Diphtheria -is a peculiar disease, in— flnmmatory probably, of the mucus membranes, manifesting iteell princie Pally in the throat, leading to the for- mation of false membranes, or coat- ing the surfaces over with a layer of coagulable lymph, resembling some- what the white of an egg partially boiled, or paste made of wheat flour, and is usually accompanied with a de- pressed and otherwise very unfavoras hie state of the general system. This coating is very apt to extend into the sir passages, indeed st often commences in the nostrils, and when it reaches the wind -pipe produces the most unrnan- ageable form of croup. This is the manner in which many cases terminate fat�slly, but not all. It is one of the most severe diseases we meet with.— It is fatal in a large proportion of the case attacked, under the best treatment we have yet devised. We have something like the forma- tion of false membranes, and coating of the throat, in patches, in other dis— eases, mostly In the last stage of fatal ases. But these should not be con— idered as cases of Diptheria. We es deposits of lymph also in severe ore throat or Cynauche Maligua, and bad cases of ficarlet Fever, or Scar - tine A nginosa, or Maligns. But :ese arc not Diphtheria. They may rcvnil together, but they do separately. r, cases of one may occasionally °r- ear r-ear where the other is prevailing..— .at this is not necessarily the case, ley are by no means identical, and tould not be confounded. The trent- tent fee one is only partially adapted the other, and is not successful. Scarlet fever and malignant, or pus id sore throat, are severe diseases, td often prove fatal, at the com meuce- eat of an outbreak, but they are riot so much to be dreaded as Diph- theria. .An epideruic of thorn does no' last so long, and they are much more amenable to treatment. As to remedies, quinine and iodine have held their places in the estima— tion of physicians. The iodide iter- ctlry is considered one of the most val- uable remedy we possess But all rem• edies have failed, and I think it may be truthfully said that we have not yet hit upon a plan of treatment that promises to be anything like generally successful. We learned yesterday that Presi— dent Lincoln, many years ago, descens (led the river in a flatboat as supercar cargo. The flatboat tied up at the plantation of Col. Ferguson, on the. opposite side of the river. The Colo• eel having some wood he wished chop- ped, employed the flatboat hands to do the job for him, and Abe, the su- percargo, sprang in and helped.— When Col. Ferguson was in Washing- ton, while the raileplitter was a mem— ber of Congress, the latter sought him out and renewed the old acquaintance. Last week the Col. was in Washing- ton, when the President sent hie card. Col. Ferguson again called upon him and they had a chat about old tithes and the present price of wood. —Mew phis Appeal.

Dispatches from ilea Pickens state that the garrison is short of provieions. and can hold out but a short time - None but official communication at Pensacola, and tho squadron can eel. tpaliee. rsreinforce the fort nor furnish bop. Appearances indicate that the Guv. ernment before Torg will he compelled to abandon Fort Pickens to the se- cessiraviser ts. Ireceived a dispatch from a gentleman in Charleston, who visited Fort Sumter this morning. He states that he found Major Anderson taking an inventory of everything prepara- tory to evacuating the Fort. He is, it seems allowed to exercise his own judgment as to the method of leaving. The Herald's 'Washington col rem- pondent says Surveyor John L. Fox, United States Navy, reached here to day from Fort Sumter. He had been sent there by the Administration on Monday last. He visited M jor An- dorson on Thursday, in company with Captain Harstein of South Carolina, Fox will make his repent to morrow. The Herald's Washington despatch- es say the President has ',sued orders yesterday to Major An .erson to put his command in readiness to evacuate Fort Sumter. Major Anderson is to salute his flag and embark in the War steamer Dispatch, dispatched for that pnrpuse. No opposition will be made by the Charlestonians. The cabinet was said to be considering on Satur- day, dispatches received from Fort Pickens, from Lieut. Slemmer, who states that unless he shall be supplied with provisions he will have to aban- don Fort Pickens. Gen. Bragg, commander of the con- federate forces, informs Lieut. Siem - mer that supplies canaot be landed at that Port, without permit from Jeff Davis. He round that whilst last year, in the six months ending February, we imported from the United States 140;- 000 quarters of corn, amounting to £318,00; in the corresponding months last season, wo imported 195,000 quartere, et a cost of L6,- 250,000, or nearly twenty times as much. From Russia and Prussia we had also imported much greater clean- tities, and from France wo had im- ported nearly six times as inuch grain. The total increase of imported grain might be estimated at upwards of 012,000,000, as compared with the six montlis ending February, 1960. - This wool,' plainly show the cause of the pressure which was,at present felt in mercantile eiredes, bat, at any rate, there wasohe setisfaution of knowing that there would be no general defi- ciency, and there was also reason to hope that this reason of difficulty would soon pass over. Every passenger who arrives at Charleston has to pay twenty cents as entrance money to tho delights of Pal- mettodom, an i must have his bag- gage examined as minutely as though he was entering the domains of his Papal Highness. John Shermon has been elected United States Senator from the state of Ohio, in the place of Salmon P. Chase gone into tho Cabinet. David Wilmot of Pennsylvania has been elected sen- ator in that State in the place of Si- mon Cameron, also promoted to the Cabinet. Case of Abduction -Information Wan- ted. On Saturday last an Englishman, named George Taylor, living near Pa- los, absconded with a young girl nam- ed Caroline Appel, the step daughter of Mr. Henry Sheave, a very e orthy and respectable citizen. Mr. Sham and his wife went away from home on Saturday morning, and on their return found that their daughter had left with this Taylor. Taylor is a married man about fifty years old; wears no whisk- ers, has dark eyes and brown hair, a tittle touched with grey Ho wore a black coat, and a cap. Ile Id; his wife at his residence, near Palos. The gill is sheet the teen years- old, pretty large for her age, quite good looking, full face, blue eyes and light hair. - They were seen driving in Taylor's waonn towards the city, with the girl wrapped up closely in blankets, as if she was sick. They were traced to within a few miles of this city' when their One was lost. It is thought that Taylor has probably gone to Mimics°, ta. Papers in that and other direct- ions please copy.- Chicago Tribune. The Courier also notices the arrival of Ex Congressman Holmes. whe says Mr. Seward desired him to say to the people of Charleston that they were for a peaceful seinnteent, and would do everything in their power for an amicable adjnetment. Also, that Gen. Scott gave similar assuran- ces that the President favors such a policy, and that a majority of the cab- inet desired an evacuation of Fort Sumter as well as Fort Pickens. . -..... A SOUTHERNER ON SECESSION.—A Southern gentlemen who resides iu Augusta, Georgia, writes thus to the National Intelligencer : " "If the South were tuerely let alone for six tnonths, we would probably try at the next general election to get back. • The new tariff will open both eyes and pockets -three or four cents per pound on cheese, four to five cents cut butter, two to two and a half cents on tobacco -affect every one, and that sensibly. Prices have advanced, and are still ascending. Our regular army has ono hundred and forts enlisted in this city, and as many in Savannah. - Nine -tenths of our youth go eonslant- ly armed, and the common use of deadly weapons is quite disregarded. No control can be exercised over a lad -after ho is fourteen or fifteen. He becomes Mr. So -and -So, and ack- nowledges no master. While our free trade doubles our tariff, our poste] facilities will also he decreased.

At our inti- nation that Auctien would be ready soon, and that, as Auction wouldn't be expecting us, Auction wouldn't wait oc.r coming, but would go on without us, she consented to postpone hor piano practice for a time, a time and a hall', and half a time, end to ar- ray herself like Solomen in all his glory, or more so, and be ready im- mediately. !ler precise renerk was, as she skittered up stairs: 'I'll be ready in two minutes.'

But I discover that I have wander- ed from the subject, so I'll come back to the original lady; and, to put thos of my readers who may chance to be of the crinoline gender in good humor again, I will state that there is talk of a wedding, in which the writer hereof is to be particularly interested—in foot he is cast for one of the principal parts —in shalt, it is rumored that he is to be the groomsman—Damphool being :he bridegroom, and' he is happy to confirm that impertinent but d licous ;union Anxions Young Lady (eagorly)— 'sVhen':.*****???

Damphool, following my bright example, has also a Curly One, the idol of bis heart, etc. Well, the Curly One had seen, somewlire, an advertisement of an auetioa—a furniture auction—to come off in the afternoon, and sho was cer- tain that she could buy any quantity of things that they would want, and could get them cheap.

Every woman, who has got any life, any blood, any vitality, any anything in her mental composition that is worth having, has also got a a strong infusion of the Mrs. Toodlee spirit. In some it is a mania; in oth ers, it is merely a *fancy. I haven't yet disci led whether Damphool's Cur- ly One is crazy or only enthusiastic; from her choosing him for a husband, I incline to the farmer proposition; but time alone can show. To the auction we resolved to go, and Damphool and I were to call for the young lady at two o'clock. The sale was to comlmence at three, and we had fourteen blocks to walk, so, as .he conaplaeently remarked, we would Diablo," and eomo choice selections 'rens the "Ballo in Maechera," arraag. od by myself.

Played 14 sets of quadrilles, and called all the changes at tlto top of toy voice. No Curly One—not a single curl. Time, 1 hour and 53 minutes. 'Then, as a last resource, played ten hornpipes, 6 Ilighland flings, and 31 jigs, in the jiggcst possible quick tiute. Still no response from above. Time, 2 hours and 14 minutes. Got desperate; rolled up my sleeves, and resolved to do the "Anvil Chorus" in such style as wo'd bring the C. 0. to her senses or smash the piano to eternal bite. This had the desired effect. 1 had only broken fourteen treble strings aud cracked the sounding -board, when a voice was heard from the top of the stairs, say- ing, in sweetest tones: "Haven't I been quick/ I'll be down in three seconds." These three eoeonds enabled me to play a couple more hornpipes, 7 pol- kas, and invent 16 variations to Dixie. I was just pondering over the 18th, and whether to arrange the bass in forgiving triplets, or in indignant oc- taves, when I heard the voice of the Curly One, saying, to some one iavis 11,lc: "The gentlemen have hurried me so Annie, and I've been so buick, that I haven't had time to put my room to rights. Please pick up my things. Please pick up my things, and make everything neat—there's a nice girl." Then she skipped down to ue, de- claring I had hurried her eo, that she "didn't look a bit nice," and that we were two "great surly, rough, unreas- onable bears." As this same Curly One has made assertion that no man can properly de- scribe a w-ivan's dress, and that 1 am the most ignorant of nay sex on such abstruse subjects, I am going now, here, at one, and forever to refute this base slander." Hear, then, 0 Curly! On the events ful day when we went to the auction, you had on your head a magnificent bonnet of plaid satin, trimmed with five red ruches over the top and three red roses, one white one, and a blue black marabout feather sticking straight up. Your bonnet strings were, one Corn color, and the other magenta (ha, ha! you thought I didn' know that magenta is a color ) Then you had about your neck, and trailing gracefully over your shoulders, a splen• did lace mauve of rigolette color, with little purple balls on the ends. The corsage -colored ceijnre about your waste was nicely relieved against the victorine tassels, and the taffeta -shaped crochet that formed the upper black moire antique of your poplin recherike —and that was all, except your shoes, which'were troueseaseolored staff, and looked very nicely. Oh, yea;' I' beg parden I you did have a gown—I re- member it perfectly—beffit.00lored velvet, with very fine Bien castle* of the true Honiton shade. There, there, what do you think of that? Twenty-nine times we reached the door -steps, and twenty-eight times we rang the bell and compelled the wret- h - ed servant to let ns in, that the C. 0. might get some forgotten thing, Which she generally found in her pocket, after all. At last, however. tris stetted, and at last we reached the auction -room. Before we had got ,fairly into the house, she began to bid. She heard the "going, going" of the auctioneer; and tearful lest he should be selling the very thing she wanted most of all, she dashed forward, leaving her shawl hanging to the door -post, having her bonnet knocked in by a passing por:er, and leaving an a•;re or so of mingled crinoline and silk these in the grasp of an intrusive door scraper.

BUSINESS.— Of course there is no need telling thinking people that there is some other basis for these gift book jewelry sales and dollar jewelry stores, than the panic, or the buying of large editions of cheap books. The real ba- sis of the whole is the Connecticut die• covery of a compound metal denomin- ated onside and defined by the &ient fe American, to be simply a very beautiful brass without a grain of geld w its composition. It is the most positive imitation of gold that has ever been discovered, it weals like it—not disco!. oring anything it touches, as common brass or copper will; it may be engrav- ed or chased—being the same all the way through; it is much softer and more readily fused than gold, however, and its value may be imagined when we say that a dozen finely chased table spoons of this metal can be bought tor $4,60, with a profit to the retailer even at that price, of over thirty per cent.— The principal manufactory of this enr- ich, ie at Waterville, Conn.

This expense is greatly reduced by buyink at second hand the inetruments with which real jewelry had been manufactured—and in this way the patterns of the moat eminent jewelry houses are obtained.

The london Standard of March 5, reviewing the inauguratioa speech of Jeff. Davis, says: The Southern States are at the pres- ent time in open rebellion against the properly cobstitdted anlhorities of the Union, and any recognition on tbepart of our government would be deeply resented by the authorities at Wash- ington and the free North; whilst the assumption of Mr. Davis that any State has a right to resume the powers delegated by it to the Confederation, will certainly inspire but little confi- dence with European statesmen.— Great Britain at least would hesitate to enter into a treaty with a republie. which arrogates the right to break it- self up at any moment.

Flom the N. Y Tribune Correspondence. Affairs In Charleston. "While Speaking of Major Ander- son's loyality to his country, and to his own honor, I cannot do better than give you an illustration of it. and of his promotitnde in dealing with trait- ors. There is an Irish ruffian Who loafs upon the wharves, who has, as an ironical tribute to his extre►ne ng - liners, been dubbed 'Handsome Char- lie.' This vagabond it to Charleston what Billy Mulligan was to New York —as notorious a scamp as ever went nnhung. The brother-in-law of Char lie was a soldier attached to the garri- son at Fort Sumter, and was often sent by Major Anderson, with others, for provisions. These two villain,' brothers in 'crime' as well as in •law.' had, it seems, been plotting treason to connexion with their betters against the Government of the United States. One of their plans was to smuggle in files for the purpose of spiking the guns nn Fort Sumter. How they ex- pected to accomplish this rascality is another question; but certain it is that files were introduced into the fortress concealed in loaves of bread. The files and the traitors were both discov- ered. A messenger was dispatched to Charleston for a priest. The cause as- signed for requiring his presence was the premature confinement, and cones- queut danger of a soldier's wife. The real need for him was to shrive a dads tardly wretch for the next world, who was utterly unfit to live in this. The brother in law of 'Handsome Char- lie' was shot; a fitting doom for a traitor.

The Congress of the "Confederate" is proposing to effect a loan of $15, 000,000, on a pledge of an export duty of one eighth of a cent on a pound ot cotton, redeemable, we believe, in ten years. Supposing these State to ex- port, say 1,600,000,000 pounds of cot- ton, an eighth of a cent per pound, if collected, would produce, $2,000,000 yearly; and in ten years, an aggregate of 520,000,000. Here is a very respectable com- mencement. It would be equal to a loan of $1,000,000 by the United States which contain a population six aed one-half times greater than the "Confederated States," or, taking the great wealth of the former, to at least 8300,000,000. Such a debt would be regarded as a pretty formidable affair for us, were there none other to follow. But, if, as we are told, tho''Confeder- ate States" aro shortly to putt up an a. my of 50,000 men in the field, they will want several such loans before the year is out. If they are to carry out their programme, they must match or at least attempt to match, the power of the Federal Gevernm nt. 'To make a respectable show towards this, they must have 850,000,000 yearly for mil itary purposes alone. It. costs about $1,100 annually per head, to maintain an army in quarters;` when moving, a much larger sum. How is this money to be raised? By borrowing in the Eastern States or Europe? Ido.

The av- erage cannot as yet be exactly stated, but the returns to the Statistical Bu- reau -thus far received—indicate as average of twenty four bushels for the State at large. A great many town- ships give an average of twenty-six, twenty-seven and even twenty-eight bushels, and of the individual crops returned as specimens of the maximum yield in various localities a larger num- ber aro over forty—and in souse in• staneos even as high as sixty bushels per sore. The aggregate crop of the State is estimated at between 6,000,000 and 7,000,000 bushels, probably nearer the latter figure than the former. This would give a result of nearly forty bushels to every man, woman and child in the State. Let it be recollee. ted that this result will be obtained is the sixth year of the agricultural bie- tory of the State. There is no ether State in the Union which presents a record, at any period • of its history, of such an astonishing agricultural de- velopment.. Oats, rye and barley share in this redaction of the leading cereal'. The barley of Minnesota is so highly priz- ed for the purity of its grain, that it is beginning to bo exported in consid- erable quantities for eastern dfaiiller- ies. South of Minnesota in the Missis• sippi Valley, all the tuberous and bul- bous esculents want the nntritive.qual- ities which characterize t beta here, and which make them most valuable for human subsistence. Below Minneso- ta the Irish potato rapidly degeueratee, till in Southern Iowa or Illinois it is scarcely fit food for hogs. The Min- nesota potato, on the contrary, from its fine farina and flavor, is sought af- ter with avidity as a table delicacy from St. Louis to New Orleans. All these roots are produced in al- tonishing abundance in our rich warm soil.. The prolific luxuriance aud sac- charine riehnese of anneal vines, mel - one, pumpkins, etc , has been noticed by Blodgett in his great work on Cli- matology, as a .local characteristic of the 'country near Fort Knelling.'

But broad as are our prairies, they have no comparison with the ex- tensive, treeless plains of Illinois.-- In llinois:- In no place is the timber more remote than five miles. The big woods, about twenty five miles west of Hastinge, are noted, and great profusion. Besides this, we cite to the pins forrests of Lake St. Croix and Rum river, which afford an inex- haustible supply of that timber.

But oats, rye, barley and buckwheat are equally pros dnctive,.and as certain a crop. Nor -are our esculents less productive or less tinted for their excellent quality. The Minnesota potato has won the reputa- tion from all who have tried theta as being vastly superior in every respect to those raised in a more southern lets itude, We might dwell on our productions hat what wo have said, which can be supported by undoubted facts, must be sufficient. The question of health is another irnportant•ono. No State in the Ha- ien has the reputation as a healthy one that Minnesota has. Ilere peoplo of uteans resort from the Southern States to get a taste of pure air, and feel the vivifying influence of a climate not poisoned by malaria. IIere invalids repair to secure the recuperative influ- ence of an atmosphere -that is not ob- noxieue to the human lungs. Hund- reds of people are now in this State seeking relief from long diseases, which have beenengeudered east and south, and in many oases decided im• provement has been made, and in some absolnte recovery. We have, then, in Minnesota, not only abundant food, but health to enjoy it. Here the artificial channels of com- merce is se yet but little develope'i; we have no railroad, but if the person who designs emigrating will take the trouble to investigate. he will find that the Land Grants of this State are ad- equate for the construction of as grand a system as auy other State possesses. But while we have made no artificial channel of trade, nature has been lav• ish in her gifts in tizie direction. The blissisaippi, the St Croix, and the Minnesota rivers, drain a large portion of the State, and the wealth of fertile fields float upon their 'waters.

Fort Sumter is the rallying spot of the radicals of all sections and every shade of opinion. The blow struek there was to have been made the sig- nal for tlto union of the disuniouists and conservative men Sonth, and for a like combination North.

Noitb and Sonth it has had a most wholesome eff•et, although met by by bitter curses, of radicals of every degree. South Carolina has kept an armed force around Charleston for mewl., menacing Fort Snmte:, and af•,iding chides nearly everybody at the North and not a few of the best peoplo in the slave States, together with all the rest of mankind.

Here is the authoritative. South- ern definition of the word:— "An abolitionist is any man who does not love slavery for its own sake as a divine inetitntion; who does not worship -it as the corner -stone of civil hberty; who does not adore it as the only possible social condition of which a permanent republican government can be erected; and who does not in hie inmost soul, desire to see it exten- ded and perpetuated over the whole earth, as a means of human reforma- tion second in dignity, importance and r,acreedness alone to the Christian re- ligion.

It was my first evening in town, and as I was sitting within the friendly walls of the St. Nicholas, wrapped in a cloud of tobacco smoke, and a fine specimen of the littlest style of false whisherc and moustache, 1 saw enter a very dear friend, from wham, two rug before, I had parted in Califor- nia. As he passed, he glanced at me, but :lid not recognize mo. I was glad of it, for it assured mo that my false whiskers would be a valuable aid to me as a disguise in the search which on the next day I intended to com- mence. My friend lighted a cigar, and seat - el himself some (listener) from me.— Ae I conld not allow the opportunity to speak with him to pass by, I went toward h m and said: 'Good evening.

During the evenini , levying nothing butter to do, I strolled into Burton's to witness hire in ono of his inimita- ble performances. Next to me was seated a Indy, who was very neatly but rather showily dressed, and who appeared to be r..nsccompanicd by any one. Moreover, she was exceedingly handsome, and having by some chance entered into conversation with her, I found her very interesting. What started onr acquaintance I cannot re member, although I think it arose from some remark which she made to me—but at any rate she was very agreeable. \Vhen the performance was shout half through she suddenly complained of feeling faint, and asked me if I would accompany her where she could get some fresh air. 1 did se, and it appeared to relieve her, bat after a few minutes she seemed to grow worse, and speaking to a small boy who was standing near, she asked him to call a carriage. Up to the present time I had felt a slight suspicion that all was not perhaps as it should bo. It had been but the shadow of an idea, which her last request dissipated, and there- fore I assisted her into the carriage.— But no sooner was she in than she fell almost upon the door. Of course I jumped to help her npa on her seat. Hardly was I in when the door was closed, the driver sprang to his box and off we went. I was just about ordering him to stop, as I ltad no intention of 'riding with him, when the lady, who appeared to di- vine my thoughts, grasped me by the arm, and exclaimed: 'My dear sir, do not leave me I beg of you; I am very unwell, and if yon VOL. 4.

In fact, I had several times thought that they mast be run- ning away with us. But at last, after riding for almost half an hour at a break neck pace, we halted. By this timo, she was again so unwell that I was absolutely oblig- ed to lift her out of the carriage, and carry her up the steps. Here she besought me to come in, that she might thank ane for my kind - ,nese, assuring rue that she should nov• er fo,get it.

'That's the one, he continue?, 'I could tell it anywhere!' 'What is the ono?' I asked. 'That pink bonnet ahead,' he re- plied, 'and 'tis the sante cloak, too.' In truth, abont twenty feet before us was a lady wearing a pink bonnet, and walking unaccompanied by any gentlemen. I instantly know to whet ho referred, and my pleasure was as great as his. 'But are yon perfec,ly certain it is the one?' 'That 1 am; but An she has stopped et the window and we shall have a soak at'l er face; yes, I knew I was right,' he continued. as the lady -in gttestiou looking is et a stole window gave us n good view of her couutea trance. I instantly requested Markham to leave ane, lest she should chance to see hitn, and recognize hire, which would completely spoil the plan of operation, the principal poiuts of which I had already marked out for myself. 1 promi ed that if he would do so I would run the game to cover, and he should bo in at the death. Accord. ingly he turned upon his stops and in a few minutes was out [ sight As soon as be was gone I walked forward briskly till I reached the pink bonnet. I continued behind her long passing her, I walked swiftly on until I was about three or lour rods ahead ef her, when I stopped at the door- way of a store, and appeared to be in- tently examining the articles' through the window.

The wife sprang from my arms and seized the banal of a pistol with each hand.

Had I only hail my revolver with me—and I gen- erally enrry it—he would perhaps have (uro oft second hest; but I had that day sent it to bo repaired, and therefore lnekily for him I was unarmed. At length his ferocity melted be- neath the tears and protee,tations of his \vile, and the matter sons finally n ljnsted by leaving my watch and all my money—which was about three hundred dollars—as a pledge that I would call the next day and settle the affair, he at the same time giving me his note for the amount, and threaten- ing to blow my brains out if I retired without so doing. After it was done, he walked down to the carriage with me, for it was still waiting, and got in after ane, still keeping nis pistols in his hands. When we had ridden some ten min- utes, the carriage stopped, and I was ordered to get out. I did so, as ho possessed a most p0. tent 'peranador,' and the hack drove off and left me in an unknown part of the city. Of course, I have been un- able to find tho house, and so my money is lost, without you can help me find it; but I will give them the credit of having played the game mag- nificently, When my friend had finished, I burst into a load laugh. I could not help it, the whole affair was so rich and amusing, but 1 promised to assist him as far as I was able. 'Have you mentioned the affair to any one else?' 1 asked him. 'No, you are the first, I thought it would be useless, as I had no. satisfac- tory proof of the transaction, for of course the note is worthless, even if I could find the house, which is perfect, ly impossible, as I have not tho faint, est idea of the looality.' 'Should you know the woman if you should see her again?' 'Yes, among a thousand.' 'And the man, could you recognize him?' 'I think I could.' I asked him to give a description pf the man, and he did so. I could have hugged higt in my joy, for here was the very man whom I was in search of, and I could, by find, vor. 'A thousand if you wish rte,' I an. awerod. 'World you bo so very kind as to purchase for me my ticket?' at the sametinte putting ber band in her pocket. :Suddenly however, she withdrew it with the exclamation: 'Heavens! 1 have lost my port mon- nie, what shall I do?' '1 'am truly sorry for yoor loss,' said I, 'but it shall not prevent yon from attending the performance,' and hastening to the office I purchased two tickets, and returning to her pia' cod one in her hand. She was very nitry to put me to so much trouble—was a thousand times obliged, and hoped 1 would not coo- sider it unla•iy like in her tto receive a ticket from a stranger; btzt she had so set ber mind upon the performance that really she could not stay away.— All these thanks :and protestations ended in my accompanying her into the hall and seating myself at her side. She was so pretty, eo fascinating, and played her part so well that I did not wonder that Markham had been taken in, and I verily believe that had I not been forewarned I should hue shared the same fate. As it was, however, I was prepared for whatever might turn np, and ap- peared as unsuspecting as possible.— The ossible.—The ill turn ant carriage was strictly en regde. When I had placed her in it, I beg• gad her to excuse me a moment while I returned -for my gloves weioh I pre- tended to have dropped. Beckoning to me a boy of a, dozen years, who looked as if he might be trusted, I asked him: 'Would you like to earn five dol- lars?' 'Certainly,' was tho reply. I said to .Aim: *At, the door is a hack which,J shall get isle.

All in good time the knock :tit the door, and my lady endeavored to faint, but did not succeed. for layinf3 her back upon the sofa, I poured about half a spoonful of tho ammonia into her nose. I know that it wajs-gather cruel, but I could not resist the temp- tation to pay ber off a little. Quicker than lightning ebe sprang to her feet, gasping and almnat strang- ling, while at the same instant open flew the door, and the enraged hus- band entered. The pistols were duly drown forth and pointed at me, while the wife, in- -tead of imploring my life, was busily engaged in endeavoring to get breath, for the ammonia had nea;ly killed her. I saw that my game was safe, that the forger stood before me, and when his first buret of well counterfeited pass sion was at its height, pulling off my whiskers and drawing out my revolver I coolly informed him that he was my prisoner. Tho moment he recognised me,, a 'change carne over the spirit of his dream.' He dropped bis pistols, and lank speechless into a chair.

'It seemed to me I could never wait for him to go away, so that I might come and ask you.' "He says that Charlie must leave work entirely for three months, per- haps longer. He says that if he does this, and follows his directions im- plicitly, that his life may be saved." "But what does he say of that drea- ded bleeding from his lungs." "He says that congestion from weakness and a cramped position, is not as bad as sorofnlons disease of the lungs." "And diti he say nothing of his go- ing South?" "Ile said the caro and tenderness of his moth'r, and family, would oats weigh any advantages of climate that he night have by going South; and, sides, he knew that it wan impose) ble for him to go."

I told Moshe would nee how wo should manage, and how nicely wo should live." Mrs. Anthony was a widow, with two boys and a daughter. Her hues band had been a merchant, who had educated his children well, kept his family elegantly, and died insolvent two years before. Mrs. Anthony fonnd herself, at the opening of our story, living on the second floor of a good house in Twea• tieth street, east aide. She paid 85 a week rent, her servant had $2 a week; and in all things she thought she lived as economically as possible, and yet she found she could not save above two or three dollars from her boy's salary, who was her only support.— The eldest son was twenty -ono years old, and the youngest was nineteen.— The daughter was seventeen \ s as soy. sateen. The eldest was a book-keeper and had ten dollars a week. The youn- ger, who was very strong, capable, and endnring, earned as much, by extend- ing hie labors into the evening, and working for two firms. Mrs. Anthony had taken the entire education of her daughter upon her- self, from her husband's death—teach- ing her mnsic, Frenob, and drawing, striving to fit ber for a teacher ht. the time site was eighteen. The daughter had hitherto done nothing bat a little sewing, besides attending to her stud- ies. dollars for refit, one hundred and four dollars for service, and seventy-five for' fuel and lights, which makes an aggre. gate of four hundred and thirty-nine dollars. Then the boys have to ride down town to their work, even if they walk back, and this—with rainy days, and the need that Mrs. Anthony eon• enures ten shillings a week more of their money. We have now expended five hundred and four dollars of the boy's wageseand have not eaten a mor• sel yet. For bread, milk, butter, meat and fish, we mnet allow four dollars fifty cents. For sugar. 'tea, soap, cof- fee, starch, eggs and sundries we must allow two dollars more. Fer potatoes and other vegetables, and for fruit, one dollar more. This makes sewn doll- ars more. Grant that a constant econ- omy saves fifty cents out of this, and we have three dollars a week, surplus. Take fifty dollars from this for a pew in church, and we have about one hnn- Brod dollars to clothe a family of four. "What can we do, mamma?" said the young daughter, who had felt e hundred unsatisfied wants, when they had a thousand dollars a year. "I will tell you my plan " said her mother. "We cannot leave here un- til the May of next year, by the terms of our lease. It is now the first day of November. We have six months here. "First, I give up Bridget. Yost and I mast do the work, if yon do not study one hour, until we see what can be done for Charlie. That I give up the parlor fire, and we live in tine large room, which we will keep very nicely; and if our friends cannot ap- preciate our motives, they can stay at borne in their own parlors. "We will save half a dollar in en, gar, tea and coffee; for the doctor says Chatlio mus drink neither, and we .vill drink only black tea, and make it weak. We have now saved six dollars a week. In one way and another, I will save another dollar, I think." "But wo must still have thirteen dollars a week, mamma." "I have forty dollars saved for our winter clothing, my dear. 'We will take three dollars a week from that, and we will still have four dollars left; and yet have providers for twelve: weeks rest for oar poor Charlie. \Vel will turn our dresses, fix over our last winter's bonnets, and mend everything We will take a cheaper seat in church, if need be; and we will see Charlie get well, or Dr. T. is mistaken in his judgement of the case. Charlie will live to pay his kind physician yet." Hopeful, bravo hearted mother!— What would the world be without such? They are earth's best blessings seatttercd like dew drops over the dried earth, making bumble and al- most destitute homes cheerful, with their economy, their skill and their pa- tience. Charlie Anthony left the close coml. tingsroom,.which had been poison to his lungs from the time they shut it up, put in a great stove, and four oth- er pairs of lungs besides his own.— He went into Dr. T.'s gymnaseium, and exercised as many hours in the day:ae the careful physician judged beet. He walked warmly clad in the open air, braving a sharp frost or a squall. Sometimes, for a little while, he took the doctor's remedies relig- ouely. His flannels were all the war. Mer for being patched and he was all the better for seeing his mother and sister buay and cheerful. Annie al- ways bad tirne and spirit to play to him in the evening on her piano, after the first week or two. Tired limbs, and bnrnded fingers, and other awk- ward miechancee hindered hor at first.

In most of them it is what was to have been expected, the majorities being about the same -that party has secured at former elections with but few exceptions. The Demo- cratic papers -ere trying to make cap- ital out of the reports. If they will take the trouble to compare the figures of last fall with those of the present, they will see that they have nothing to boast over. Conneticnt has rolled up as good round Republican votes, and still takes rank as a staunch supporter of Republican peinciples. It is prob. able that two Democratic Congress.- men ongress-men have been elected from that State. Whenever the yeomanry of the coun- try can be beard from it will be found that the victory to the Republicans last fall was not a temporary one.

The people have been thrown into an inteuee excitement by the canards which the telegraph from time to time reports. Since Saturday last the most startling news has been flashed upon the people, but when we come to examine it, it is but the reports of correspondents to the sensation papers, and outirely groundless as to authority. Having lived in the min st of these alarms since last fall, the reports reach ns wish less of the mo- mentous import, and we begin to con- clude that of all sensation institutions the telegraph is most so. The following tel. ex ephic reports we give for what they are worth: CHARLESTON, April Gth.— A special dispatch to the New York herald states that war is expected to break out in twenty four hours. Every soldier in Charleston is ordered on duty, and the excitement is intense. NEW YORK, April 6th. ---More des- patches from Washington to -day state that President Davis has ordered General Beauregard to stop Major Anderson's supplies, and cut off all connication with him and place Fort Sumter in a state ofd lege. If such was the fact, we would recieve immediate iutelligence from Montgomery and Charleston. The Cabiuet at Montgomery believe that no beligerent steps will be resorted to. Advicea from Jamaica to tho 23d state that Prince Alfred met with a roy- al reception at Barbadocs. The Times' Washington despatch says that Dr. Fuller, of Farquhar, has been appointed Marshal of Eastern Virginia. The same authority says a despatch re- ceived from a responsible person in Char- leston states that General Burt has left for Morris Island. He is reore t d to have said that Major Anderson had p now but two alternatives: to evacuate Sumter is forty-eight hours, or suffer bombard• went. The Times' despatch also says the southern commissioners express the bo - lief that a more judicious policy will prevail, but if the policy of the federal government is the enforcement of thl federal laws, the seceded states are ready to resist to the bitter end. The Government has chartered t'• e eteamerlllinois, which will go to sea un- der sealed orders to -day or Monday. Her �• - w THE NEW TARIFF.—The New York Herald keeps up a fire of abase against what it calls a &publican 'Tariff, and for which it hales President Lincoln responsible. We are very glad to ao• rept our share of thin responsibility; but the truth is that Mr. Lincoln had nothing whatever to do with the ma- king of this tariff, while the Ileralct.'., favorite, President Bachena-s, urged the passage of emelt a '1 triff in nearly every Mese tge, and officially approved it wt c i it passed.

An alarm exists hare on account of the military preparations of the Govern- ment, which preserves entire silence. Lieut.

John Minor Botts arrived here with a largo delegation of Virginians to ascer- tain by personal conferenee the exact in- tentions of the Government.

The Empress Eugenie is in state of perpetual terror about the con lition of her soul. Her mind is tottering. At one moment she is for setting out on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, at an other she is absorbed in all the myste- ries of apirit rapping; then the Empe- ror find her in a etate of nervous affec- tion, as if life Wae an absolute burden to ber, The Priests have told her that Providence has assigned to ber a grand role. It was for this she was rescued in that terrible hour of agony when it became a question when the Cresse- rian operation mast not be performed, and it is for this she lives at the pres- ent Noor. But the poor soul is fairly bewildered with all that is told her; and while she loves the Emperor and ber little child with her whole strength she is in doubt whether she ought not desert both—throne and all --for the sake of the sacred Vicar of Chri t. tFAt a recent election in Beloi Wis , 550 votes were polled; of th 500 were cast for the Repnbliean ticket This ought to be a proof of the grea Democratic reaction.

After her repast she went away to, as she said, post a letter, but never returned, and it turned out that she had carried off a sheet, a blanket, n clock, a knife with a silver handle, and two napkins. As she had nothing in her hands she must have secreted the first three articles in her crinoline, which was of gigantic dimensions. From not fewer than seven other hotels or lodging houses she stole cloaks, blankets, bonnets, hats, silk dresses, and various other arti- cles, and in spite of their bulk and weight carried them off unprccieved. At last she was arrested. The tribuual learning that she had previously beeu condemned, sentenced her to five years imprison- ment. and five years surveillauce of the police. A STEAMBOAT HOISTS THE SECESSION FLAG, BUT HAS TO HAUL IT DOWN AGAiN. —The Evansville Journal of Saturday contains the following item. We repro- duce it although we have no mention in the Louisville papers of the occurrence it describes. We learn from a gentlemra who came down the river yesterday, that the hoisting of the pelican flag on the new steamer A.J. Cotton, at Louisville occasioned a terrible excitement. The flag had been presented to the captain by some Df his southern friends, and be thought it would quite smart to hoist it when bis boat made her trial trip. The river man of the Courier, having given due notice when the event was to take place, a large erowd collec- ted at the time, and became so exas- perated at a glimpse of the traitorous ensign that they threatened to mob the boat. The captain becoming alarmed, appealed to the police for protection.— They however gave bim to understand that he most look to his flag for aesuri- ty. Unfortunately for the captain, toe the commonwealth of Louisiana has appointed no consul to Louisville to look after the welfare of her citiaens and the honor of her flag. So nothing was left the captain but to shove out before he was ready, and get away from the furioae crowd. It is stated that when the A. J. ' Cotton reterned, no pelican flag was seem fawning the breeae. The Savannah merchants are sow plaining of having to pay 5 per out. for specie to ray their duties—this in, view of the surplus of specie of all the northern cities, they think rather hard. Q7' The Bank of Benton, Bek of. Napierville, Lasa sater Bank, and Pam. et Bank, in the State of Illinale have mance good. theft' ' sties, and they have been em from the.

We see nothing very improbable in this story, as it is customary to send arm- ed vessels to the scene of apprehended hostilities, in order to protect the rights of neutral powers. If the United States Government, however, still retains a par- ticle of its ancient spirit, and is not yet fully prepared to don the non-resistent garb of the Society of Friends, we trust that it will inquire at once into the truth of the rumor in question. . WILL THERE BE WAR!—This is the question coming from all quarters, and it is met by the secession sensation leaders, with the affirmative answer.— We say there will be no war unless the Seceding States shall bring it on by commencing hostilities—by assaulting and attempting to capture some of the places now possessed by the United States Government. Among these are the Fortresses in the harbor at Pensa- cola, the Fort of Key West in Florida, and Fort Sumpter in the har er of Charleston. These, we understand the Inangered to say, the Preeipent will hold, as he ought to do, unless the American peo- ple decide otherwise, hnd so instruct him. War may, therefore be avoided, and can be, and will be, if the South- ern States do not bring it on of their own a000rd.. To - the Union men of Tennessee, we say stand firm and ab- stain from all entangling alliances pre- cipitated upon the country, either from the villainous abolitionists oldie North or the traiteroue Stat. of the Oonth Z Ue; (Tinct.) irhiy. The Government officers at 'font gomery claim that they can secure any number of vessels that they may want se privateers. They say that they can obtain the slave trade vessels for that purpose. This is the most shameless thing which the seceders have yet pro- posed. It ie a declaration of War upon the entire civilized world. And yet they are sending ministers to secure their recognition as an independent nation. The last speech of Douglas on Pres- ident Lincoln's Inaugural gives (great dissatisfaction to bis late Southern friends. The Richmond Enquirer and other leading secession organs de— noonee him as '1a donkey."

In his official ca- pacity as Juige of Probate ho given great Satisfaction, and while the duties of his ease has added to his labors, he has still had ample time to apply tha resources of his fertile mind to such legal business as has been entrus- ted to Line. A CotrPI.IYaIT.—A fe'•v days ago, in his argument before a jury, Mr. James Smith, Jr. of St. Paul offered a tr•bute to the business worth of John Kennedy, which we think will find re- sponse in the heart of every man who has ever had any.business to transact with the Register of Deeds of this county. IIe said "John Kennedy, whose intelligeercs and business quali- fications have distinguished the office of Register of Deeds of Dakota, over any county iu the State, for the Edeli- ty, promptness and system with which the business is transected," &c., &c. This coming as it did unsolicited we consider a compliment to Mr. Benne• dy's intellectual capacity of the high - set order. • A Siniir.-Citizens and Strangers rho desists to see a beautiful working piece of machinery, oeght to step into phase's Grain Warehouse and take look. at tho eteam•engine in operations there.

NEW BANK.—Wo learn that Mr Follett, and an association of gentle- men will open a Bank of Deposit in this city on the 12.h list. Mr. I`'e'.lett has long been engaged in the banking business with Mr. J. L. Thorne, and has acquired a reputation for business competency, which will be of service to him in this undertaking. *' On Monday ;.last the Ocean Nave, Cayt. Webb, Commander made this port at about six o'clock in the alttrnoon. She was -mat at tit:• levee by a large conco rso of enthusi- astic citizens, and the enthusiasm was communicated to those on board, ma king the arrival of the first boat thr'e the lake a spirited occasion. We un- derstand that the Ocean Wave was de layed bnt about half an hour in pass- ing through the lake. The 8th of Ap- ril must be considered an early open, Mr. Whitney's well known ability, it will ho a paper of influence. Wo do think that Mr. Whitney has been short- sighted in selecting this point for the publication of his paper, a; we are al- most certain that there is not the pe- cuniary aid here to sustain the publi- cations of three papers. Time will show. STRANGERS.—Already many strange faces are seen on the sheets indicating the gross th of Hastings. When the outside world becomes aware thatLake Pepin is open, the emigrating popula- tion will crowd hither in search of that land of plenty which the presence of our wheat in the eastern markets have given assurance of. We invite every stranger visiting this State to call at Ilastings, witness the objects of interest, ses her prosperity at present, and with her immense resources, re- solve what roust be her future. In mentioning the ebange in the banking house of Thorne Follett & Thorne, last week, we omitted to say that Mr. Thorne had eecured 1Ir. t1. D. Peak, connected with the Worths ington Bank of New York State, for several years, as his cashier. We no- tice that the name of the bank has been charged to TI1ORNYS BANK, which we think indicates that Mr. 'Thorne:will make it a hank of inti sue as soon as the Legislature shall pass a banking law with such provis. ions as shall meet the wishes of bank- ing firms as well as the bill -holders, GIAss.—The grass is starting on the prairies, an I. by the twentieth of the month will be vigoron' enough for orttle to thrive on.

OUa GRAIN TnADII.—WO published last week an article estimating that the grain'received at this point for the liars wet of 1860 would nut fall much short of 800,000 bushels, whereupon the St. -Paul Pioneer says that the IIastings INDEPENDENT estimates the wheat ro- ceived here for 1860 at 1100,000 huh - els. Now if the Pioneer is going to quote us at all, will it please have the honesty to quote us as we say. Su St. Paul in her potty rivalry to Hastings would place the wheat crop of the state for laat year at less than two million bushels. Remember that the least es- timate that is inade of the wheat crop of last year is five million Ls bele, while the highest run it np to eight. Say six million is about what this State will export, divide that by Dight and you have /about the amount of wheat which will be shipped from llastings of the crop of 1860.

A writer in the Philydelpiia Bulletin sago, I was a student of medicine in Pa- is, in l Sa8-9, and in company with other Americans tired of the hum -drum inn - notations life of the Quartier Latin, I frequently roamed through the new city, on the west bank of the Seine. Con- certs and operas, gardens and singing Children sick, and household hungry,cafcw, bazaars, and boutiques were all nate blunder wrong house what visited by us. One evening, at early dusk a party of us were strolling thro' the Rue Richelieu and when near the Boulevards, our attention was drawn to a flaming poster of an eastern juggler, who was performing on the Boulevard du Temple. Amohg the things very wonderful, this man would eut ori the head of a living gran, and defy any one to surprise him in the trick Beim,; con- siderably accustomed to rnaniptilatirsg with the knit. iu the dead,'and being thoroughly hardened to all scenes of hor ror, we determined to go and see that wonderful necromancer. At the hour appointed we repaired to the hall, and obtained a seat near the stage. After performing wonderful! tricks the magi- eian came forward and announced as his last feat for the evening, the actual de- capitation of a living man, apparently.— To prevent feelines of horror among the ladies, he assured the audience it was a trick of legerdemain, mere slight of hand —that he did not in re.tlity cut the m ac's head off. Wlth this explanation be in- vited any, one in the andience, desirous of capital punishment to s•ep forward, prom- ising speedy satisfaction. For some mo- ments no one appeared anxious for the honor. At length, a soldier, a private in the iufautry, stepped forward and sig- uified his readiness to bo decapitated.— There could have been, it was platin, pu connivance between the men. Nu Miall dare assume the martial hearing of France without authority. Directing the man to divest himself of his coat and necktie, or stock, the magi- cian brought out his instrument of death. It was an enormous knife, resembling a ponderous cleaver. He cast it down to show its weight and it left a large im- press in the boards. There was no de- ception in the weight cf the knife. He male the man lie down, and plaeiug the soldier's neck fair in the'block, the ma gician fixed a long handle to his enor- mous knife, lie proceeded very leisurly, and with heavy well directed strokes, to chop the man's head off. During this he u►esely lowered the foot fo•.t without obscuring •he v'ew at all. Cr: s of hot ror and amazement burst from the terror- stricken audience, as with every de:cen- ding blow of the huge cleaver the blood -pirted away. The man who was un- derge ing the operation simply quivered through his lower limbs. Soon the dis- membered head rolled on the floor, the blood issued by jets from the cut al/erica and t lie jaws dropped while the eyes turned up in death. It was a horrible sight. The magician then took the bleeding head by the hair, and passed it not three feet from our party. It seem- ed a dreadful reality. I almost expect- ed to see a fierce gen de arme maze and arrest the murderer. Suddenly, but on- ly for en inetant, the room was darken- ed. In a second it was all light again And stow wo saw the magician busy at work, coaptating the head to the bleed- ing trunk. Drlligeotly be worked, and for seine moments apparently to no pur- pose. All at once, however, he slapped the dead soldier smartly on tire back— immediately the man arose; felt aux• iouelr around Iris neck; looked foolishly around, and descended amidst the au Never mind Use glance oblique, Never cause of coldness seek, Never notice slight or frown, By your coneluct live them down; All at last will seek your skill, Confident of kindness still.

Most persons apply the n•'►no of weevil to the wheat midge which attacks the grain in the field; but this is a ntistakte. The weevil may get amen; a bin of wheat tend:destroy the most of it before its rav- ages are noticed, because they penetrate through the hie! of the grain by very minute holes, and eat out the whole of the interior kernel, leaving the outside, as perfect in appearance as it had been before. Their ravages are carrie•I on withoit cessation, so that, when they get • among a bin of stored wheat, they usual- ly destroy a large quantity Of it. Any sure and safe plan for destroying them, or for preventing their attack+, would be of great beltefit.

A Ruse for a Dinner. The following characteristic anec- dote of Theodore Hook is given in Barham's Life of that extraordinary men. Of the hoax so commonly told and so generally believed as taking place at the Spanish Elttbassadot•'e at Woolwich. on the banks of the Thames Mr. Barham has given a truer and more authentic account. One of the Streets near Soho square, either Dean streets, or Fifth street was the real scene of action. Hook was lounging up one of those .streets in company with Terry, the actor, when they saw tl:ivngl► the kitchen window prepara- tions for a handsome fest. 'What a feast!' said Terry. 'Jolly dogs? I should like to make ono of them at de ine r. r 'I'll take any bet,' returned Hook, 'that I do, call for me here at ten o'clock, and you'll find that I shall be able to giyo a tolerable account of the worthy gentleman's cham;:aign and venison.' So saying he marched up the steps, gave an authoratative rap with the burnished kat cker, and was quickly lost to the eight of his com- panion. As a matter of course he was immediately ushered by the servant as an expected guest, into tke drawing room, where a large party had already assn led. The apar. being well nigh full, no notice wa tt first taken of his intruaion,.aad h,,lf a deaen peo- ple wtrs laughiug at his fon mels,betore the host discovered the mistake. Af- fecting 014 to observe the viaable em- barrassment of the latter, and ingen- iously avoiding any opportunity for explanation, Honk rattled on uutil he had attracted the greater part of the company in a eitcle near him, anu some consido'r•tt,le time had elapsed ere the rad eree.rwas egreele o ablustaanln eL.sr you see 1 have taken yon at your word I am only afraid 1 have kept you waiting.' 'No, no, not at all. But permit me to say, my dear sir, my name is not exactly Thompson, it is Jones, and—' 'Jones.' replied the soi-distant Smith in admirably assumed consternation,— 'Jones! Why I surely cannot have —yes, I must—good heavens] I see it all. My dear sir, what an unfortu- nate blunder— wrong house — what must you think of such an intrusion! I am really at loss for words in which to appologize. You will permit me to retire at present, and to -mor- row—' 'Pray don't think of retiring,' ex- claimed the hospitable old gentleman; 'your friends' table must have been Cleared long ago, if, as you say, four was the hour named, and I am only too happy to be able to offer you a seat at mine.' Hook. of course, could not think of tresspassing upon the kindness of a perfect stranger, if too late for Thomp- eon, thbre were plenty of chop•'honses at hand. The unfortunate part of the business was, he had made an ap- pointment with a gentleman to call for him at ten o'clock. The good natured Jones however,r„fused to allow so entertaining a visitor to withdraw eiuuerless; ?,Irs Jones joined in• the "elicitation; the Miss. Jones smiled be - ,t itchiugly, and at last Mr. limith who -eon recovered front his ,confusion, was prevailed upon to offer !►is arm to ue of the ladies, and take his lilac° at the well furnished board. In all prob- ability the fancily of Jouee never pass ed such an evening before. ltouk naturally exerted himself to the ut- most to keep the party in au increased uproar of laughter, and make good the first impression. The mirth ,grew fast and furious, when by way of a coup de grace he seated 'nimseelf at the piano forte, and struck off into one of those extempo'•aneous effusions which has filled more critical judges than the Junta' with delight and astonishment. Ten o'cl-ck struck, and, on Mr. Terry being announced, his triumphant friend wound up the performance With the explanatory stanza— I am very much pleased with you fare; Your cellar's as prime as your cook; My ftiend'e Mr. Terry; the play r, And I'm Mr, Theodore Hook. —'Ab, Doctor, how is my wife to day?'

A writer in the Philadelphia Bulletin says, I was a student of medicine in Pa- is, in 1858.9, and in company with other Americans tired of the bum -drum rnn- notsnoue life of the Quartier Latin, 1, frequently roamed through the new city, on the west bank of the Seine. Con certs and operas, gardens and singing cafes, bazaars, and boutiques were all visited by us. One evening, at early dusk a party of us were strolling thro' the Rue Richelieu and when near the Boulevards, our attention was drawn to a flaming poster of an eastern juggler, who was performing on the Boulevard du Temple. Among the things very wonderful, this man would cut off the head of a living man, and defy env one to surprise him in the trick Being con- siderabl-y accustomed to manipulating with the' knife its the dead, 'and being thoroughly hardened to all scenes of hor ror, we determined to go and see that wonderful necromancer. At the hour appointed we repaired to the hall, and obtained a -seat near the stage. After performing wonderfull tricks the magi- cian came forward an;l announced as Itis last feat for the evening; the actual de- capitation of a liv'ng man, apparently.— 'l'o prevent feelint_s of horror among the ladies, he assured the audience it wns a trick of legerdemain, mere slight of hand —that he did not in re.tlity cut the man's bead ut['. Whh this explanation lee in- vited any one in the audience, desirous of capital punushmeutto s'ep forward, prom. Wag speedy satisfaction. For seine mo- ments no one appeared anxious for the honor. At length, a soldier, a private in the infantry, stepped forward and sig- uified his readiness to bo decapitated.— There could have been,• it was platin? nu connivance between the'men. No uian dare • assume the martial hearing of France without authority. Directing the man to divest himself. of his coat and necktie, or stock, the magi- cian brought out his instrument of death. It was an enormous knife, resembling a ponderous cleaver. lie cast it down to show its weight and it left a large im- press in the boards. 'there w'as no de. caption in the weight cf the knife. He male the man lie down, and plating the soldier's neck fair in the'block, the ma gician fixed a long handle to his enor- mous knife, he proceeded very leisurly, and with heavy well directed strokes, to chop the man's bead off. During this be merely lowered the foot fo„t without obst using 'he v•ew at all. C'rs of hot ror and amazement burst stricken audience, as e ding. blow of the huge clea spirted away. The man who was un- dergoing the operation simply quivered through his lower lirubs. Soon the dis- membered head relied on the floor, the blood issued by jets from the cut arterial and the jaws dropped while the eyes turned up in death. It was a horrible sight. The magieian then took the bleeding head by the hair, and passed it not three feet from our party. It se'etn- ed a dreadful reality. I almost expect- ed -to see a fierce gen de arm'e sieze and arrest the murdarer. Sudtl tsl,y, but on- ly for an instant, the room was darken- ed. In a second it was all light agaiu And now wo saw the tnsgiciau busy at work, coaptating the head to the bleed- ing trunk. Dilligently le worked, and for some moments apparently to no pur- pose. All at once, however, li. slapped the dead soldier smartly on the back— immediately the man arose; felt aux-, iously around his neck; looked foolishly around, and descended amidst the au diene. This is a veritable affair, and theft'!” living within” three hundred milli ' Philadelphia those who can vouch for its truth. IMPORTANT DIsI'ATCHEe.—CH.tnLEe- To:v, S.

Deacon Tilden had the squarest, neatest white house that ever showed its keen angles from the dusky clumps of old lilac bushes. In front of it .Flood on each side of the doorway, two thrifty cherry trees which bore a bushel each, every season. Excepting the aforementioned lilac trees, there was not a flower or shrub aronud the place. Rose bushes the Deacon thought rotted the house, and the honeysuckle which his wife tried to train over the porch wa torn down when thopainters came, and, on the whole, the Deacon said, what was the use of putting it up so long as it did not bear anything? By the side of the house was a thrif- ty well kept garden, with plenty of cur- rant bushes, gooseberry bushes and ‘quince trees—and the beets and car- rots and onions wero the pride of the Deacon's heart; but, as he often proudly said, 'everything was for use' --there was nothing fancy about it.— His wife put in timoronsly one season for a lower border—Mrs. Jenkyns had given her a petunis, and Mrs. Simp- kins had brought her a package of flower seeds from New York—and so a bed was laid out. But the thrifty Deacon soon found that the weeding of it took tinio that Mrs. Tilden might give to her dairy, or to making s'tirts and knitting stockings, and so it real], troubled his conscience—The next t;pring he nutted it into his cornfield; and, when his wife mildly intimated iter disappointment, said placidly. 'After all, 'twos a thing of no u*e, and took time'—and 11ts.'Tilden, being a week woman, and 000 of the kind of saints who always suppose themselves miserable sinners, specially coutcsse(1 icer sin of king iuwatdly vexed about the incident in her prayers that night. lrtayed that her eyes might be turned I ff from l.eholdieg vanity, and that -elle Wright Le eitiickened iu the %say of 11)1 .ding her work. The front p,rlur •of the Deacon's horse was the most frigid asylum of Leath hs 11811 ever discouraged the 1) es end beast of u visitor. Those four blank walls were guiltless of any en- grac'ieg or painting, or of any adorn- ment but an ordinary well halter curl a Prams1 col y of the Declaration of In- dependence. Ou each of the three :ides stood four chairs—u. der the ?oohing glass was a shining wehogauy table, with a large Bible and an alwa- uac on it --ant] a pair of cold, glisteus iso h.rntl irons illustrated the Gee plate. + Thu mantle shy if above had a par of bright brass candlesticks with a pair of snuffers between them—and that .was all. DPACOII liked it—it etas plain anti simple—no uonsonso about it—everything for use and uolhieg for show—it suited hint. ]lis wife some- times sighed and looked around it, when she was sewing, as if she wanted sotuething, and then sung id the good old psalm— "Froth vaulty turn off my eyes : Let no corrupt design Or covetous deeires arise Within this heart of mine." The corrupt design, to which this estimable matron had been tempted, had been tura purchase of a pair uI Pa- rian flower vases. whose beauty had struck to her heart when she went with her butter and eggs to the neighboring city—but recollecting ;herself in time, she resolutely shut her eyed to the al• lnrement, and spent the money useful- ly in buying loaf sugar. Fur it is to be remarked that the Deacon was rind . of good cling, and prided himself on the bounties of his wife's table. hew womeu knew better how to set one -- and the mosey bread, golden butter, clear preserves and jellies, were themes of admiration avail, the tea tables in the land. The Deacon didn't wind a few cents in a pountl more for a nicer ham, Aid would n•osvand' ellen bring a' treat of oysters flout the city when they were dearest. 'These were com- forts, he said—one must stretch a point for the comforts of life, The Deacon must not be mistaken for a tyrannical man or bad husband. ' When he quietly put his wife's flower hatch into his corn field, he thought he had done her a service by curing her of au absurd notion for things that took time and made trouble, add were of no use; and she, dear soul, neser had breathed a dissent to any course of Lis loud enough to let him' know she had one. He laughed in his sleeve often when he saw her so trans ',piny knitting or shirt making at those times she had been wont to give to her poor little contraband pleasures. As for the flower vases, they were re- pented of—and Mrs. Tilden put a hand -full of spring anemones into a cracked pitcher and set it on her kitch- en table,. till the Deacon tossed them out of the window—'he couldn't bear to see weeds growing around.' The poor little. woman had a kind of chronic heart sickness, li.eo the pine ing of a teething child, bnt she neer knew exactly what it was she wanted.' If she was ever sick, no man could be kinder than the Deacon. He had• been known to harness his horse in all haste and rush to the neighboring town at four o'clock in the morning, that he might bring some delicacy she' had a fancy for—for that he could see the use of; but he could not sympathize in. her craving desire -to see Powers' Greek 'Slave, which was exhibiting in s neighboring town.

He thought the Scripture put that thing down— 'Eyes have they, but they see not; ears have they, but they hear not—neither speak they through their throat. They that make them aro like unto them; so is every one that trusted in them.'— Tb re was the Deacon's opinion of the arts; and Mrs. Deacon only sighed, and wished she could see it, that was a11. But it came to pass that the Deacon's el lest sou went to live in New York, and from that titne strange changes be- gan to appear in th•s family, that the Deacon did not like; but, as Jethro was a smart, driving lad, and making money at a great pace, he at first, said nothing. But on his mother's birth• day, down he came and had a box for his mother, which,. being unpacked, contained a Parian statuette of Paul and Virginia—a lovely, simple little group as ever told its story in clay.— Everybody was seen standing around it in open mouthed admiration, and poor Mrs. Tilden wiped her eyes more than once as she looked at it. It seemed a vision of beauty in the des, olate neatness of tate best room. *Very pretty, 1 s'pose,' said the Dea con doubtfully—for like most fathers of spirited twenty-threo year-oldors, he began to feel a little in awe of his son — but dear ale, what a sight of mon- ey to give for a tiring that after all is of no use!' 'I think,' said Jethro, looking at his mother's suffused eyes, 'it is one of the most useful things that has been br o't into the house this many a day.' •I don't see how you are going to make that out,' said the Deacon, look ing apprehensively at the young wis• Hunt that had risen in his household. •What will you wager rue, father, that 1 will prove out of your own wou:li diet this etatue'.tu is as useful as your curt and oxen?' 'I know you've got a great way of conning around fol ks, and twiching them up before they fairly know wh ere they are; but I'II sten' you OR this question anyway.' And the Deacon put Itis yellow silk bandanna over his 0 bald bead, and took his position in 1 the window seat. 'Well, now, father, what is the use of your cart and uxea?' .'Why, 1 could not work the farm witltuut them, aud you'd have nothing to eat, drink or wear.' `Well, •e hwt a the use of eating, drink ing and hearing?' • Use? why, we,cuuld nut keep alive w!thuiit ?t.' 'Aral what .is the use of our keeping a! i c•e?' * The t!st of our ket fling alive?' *Yes, to be sure, why du we strive and ovist and turn, to keep alive, and what's the use of living?' 'Livingwhj', we want to l!ve; we enjoy living --all creatures do—dogs and cats, and every kind of beast.— Life is sweet.' !The use of living, then, is, that we enjoy it?' •Yes.' • Well, we all enjoy this statuette; so that there is the same value to that that there is in living; and if your oi- en and carts and food and clothes, and all that you call necessary things, have no value except eejoymcnt then this statuette is a short cut to the great thing for which your farm and overjr- thiug else is designed. You don't en- joy your cart for what it is, but lie - cause of its use 10 get food and ,clothes —and fool and clothes. we value fur the enjoyment they give. But a stat- uette or a lrieture, or any, beautiful thing. gives enjoyment at once. We enjoy it the moment we see it—for it self, and not for any use we mein to make of it. So that strikes the great end of life quicker tura.: anything else, don't it? Ile , lather, haven't I got my case?' • 'I Lclieve those pigs are getting into the garden,' said the Deacon rushing out of the front door. But to his wile he said before plug to bed, •Isn't it amazing the way Jethro can talk? 1 couldn't do it my- self, but I had it in me though, if Fd had his advantages. Jethro is a chip of the old block.'—flame] ]Beecher Stowe. Red, White, and Bine.

Some of the coarser minded among them went so far, and this in the presence of When borne by the red, white, and blue!! their wives—as to discos• se elogneutly When borne by the red, wh ite, and bice!

"I tar," said another. "I would explore the old world, and feast upon its curiosities and its,: Wonders, ere I became a settled man." "I would enter the lists of Fame at home," said the third. •81 would not yield to the blind impulses of Cupid until I had reached the highest seat in the Council of State." "My choice," said the fourth, "were I permitted to re -commence my carreer, should bo tho navy instead of a wife.' 'And mine the army.' Thus they proceeded through their lengthened category. But alai! none said they would . endeavor to make themselves and their wives contented and happy iu their present condition. All did say, though without, apparent- ly, any malicious intent, broadly enough implied, that their wives wero burthens to which they were chained, and which kept them from rising. But there are some things too -exal- ted to be assailed with trifling. jests: and their hearts whose'cbords are too sensitive to resist the withering ins flunce of the impious sneer when com- ing from those they love, be the mo- tive what it will. It was evident that the words which full from the lips of some of the party, fell like molten drops of lava upon the hearts of the young and trusting wives, rendering theta incapable of continning their participation in the evening's enjoy- ments. This, though readily noticed by others and particularly by Mr. and Mrs Mayland, was entirely overlooked or unheeded by those who were the cause of it. .Painful indeed was the result to all but auch as were its active promoters. Mr. Mayland, tvho had withdrawn his voice awl was sittiug a silent spectas tor of what was going forward during this part of the conversation, was just. ly indignant at the excess of some of his guests. and longed for an upportus nity not only to change the tenor of their unbecoming observations, but to administer at the same time, without involving any breach of hospitality, some suitable and effectual rebuke.— They, however; continued their bitter remarks; and at length, noticing Mr. Mayland's silence, one of thein ap- proached and tapping him on the shoulder, said: 'Well, Mayland, here you' sit, as quiet as a mouse. What do you think of the matter—the advantages and dis• advantages? We would like to have your opinion. What would you do, if yon were not married!' Mayland's sweetheart wife was sit- ting a little distance from him when this question was propounded. She had been highly delighted that her dear husband had abstaiued from the reckless flow of words that had been passing, but'now seeing that be was directly appealed to, her hearts leaped, and she rivited her eyes upon hint with mingled emotions of hope and fear. It was not at that moment a rrfatter of trench diflienity to read her countenance It seemed to ask: 'Aril am I, too, w be compromised" by my husband, as toy friends have been by theirs?' When borie by the red, white, and blue! When war raged its wide desolation. And. threaten'd our land to deform, The ark then of freedom's foundation, Columbia rode safe through the storm; With her garland of victory o'er her, , When so proudly she bore her bold crew, With her flag proudly floating before her! The boast of the red, white, and blur! The boast of, ,t c The wine cup, the wine cup bring hither. And fill you it up to the brim: May the wreath they have won never wither, Nor the star of their glory grow dire; May the service united ne'er sever, Itut hold to their eolors so true— The army and navy forever!

Mr. and Madam Mayland—fur such shall be the names of the host and hostess, preseuted a most feticious union, and were noted fol their tender regard for each other, which partook more of the romantic fondness which characterises the young and hopeful lover than that which is usually ob- served in' the staid realities of mar. ,ried life of even loan than a year's standing. Happy within themselves, they neglected no upportunity to ad- minister to the joy and comfort of their friends whom they gathered about them, and possessing the most agreeable memoirs, it was rarely that their efforts to please were unsuocesa• ful.

I regret to be obliged to announce to you the death of Mr. Heustren, Dutch interpreter and Secretary of the American Legation. On the 15th of January, Mr. Heus- tren had been attending a meeting with the Japanese Minister for For- eign Affairs. Ile dined there and left at about 8 1-2 o'clock in the evening At 9 1-2 o'clock the inmates of the Prussian Legation were startled by a note from Mr. Harris to Count Evlen- burg, communicating to hiin that Mr. Heustren, on his way home, bad been attacked by several persons and atab. bed, and requesting Dr. Lucini, the physician to the Embassy, to assist the wonnded Tuan. A very sad sight presented itself to my view, at the Amerivan Legation.— On the floor of his room, poor Mr. Henstren lay weltering in blood, nev- eral Japanese physicians kneeling by his side,trying to close a ghastly weuud on the right side of his abdo- -men. Doctor Lucini, after havin washed the wound, which had to bleed, began at once to dress it, a difficult task, as part of the bowels were servered. Dr. Maigberg, of the English Legation, who had arrived at a later moment, assisted in the opera- tion, as did also several other gentle- men from the Prussian expedition. Mr. Harris, whom I sought now in his room, I found-tusy in giving such directions as circumstances required, and from him I learned bow this af- fair occurred. Mr. Beustren was 6 - ding home at a brisk pace, accompan- ied by three Yakounins, or govern- mental official officers, on horseback. Of these, one rode in front of him, whilst the two others followed, all Har- rying lauStrns, as also did the four horse boys that wero on foot. Abort half way between the Akabani and the American Legation, in a somewhat narrow street, this party was sudden. ly attacked by seven or tight Japan. ere, armed with swords. Some of them knocked down the horse boys, extinguishing their lanterns, whilst others fell on the Yankonnins, and two attacked Mr. Heustren from both sides. The latter gentleman pushed ors as fast as he could, and had soon got clear from the assailants, when suddenly he exclaimed, '1 an wounded 41 BAKED BA'Ntt.—Few people know the and sea as if 1 should die,' and glided luxury of baked beans, simply because to the ground.

I wished to dig a cel- lar under my barn, and concluded to tee, an experiment with the earth that tale taken out. I tueasured oft' one acre of the field above mentioned, and drew the earth from the cellar upon it, covering the piece to the depth of two or three in• - ches when it was evenly spread. ° This was turned under the same autumn, to the depth of six inshcs. The next spring 11 was harrowed thoroughly, and one half planted to potatoes, and the oth- er half sown to oats. The result was one • hundred and twenty-five bushels' of potatoes, of 118 fine a quality as I ever, raised, and thirty bushels of oats. 1 again plowed 'it in the autumn, go. ing two inches deeper than the previous plowing. In the spring I thoroughly [nixed and pulverizer) the soil, and sow- ed the wheat, and seeded the clover and timothy grass. 1 had a stout growth :of straw, but owing to the weevils,tbe yield was but 15 bushels of wheat. I have since crit two tuns of hay to the acre for • two years. I think the four crops have well paid me for the trouble of trying the experiment, and 'the result has been,' thus for, quite as good as though I liad applied thirty loads. of manure to the land. The soil was clayey; the earth applied was a yellow loath. 1 think the -nixing of soils, as clay ' upon .sand, or sand upon clay,wili prove of great bene- fit, where the materials for making an abundance of manure is scarce.

Our kinsmen bear arms in the reeks of the traitors; shall we con- sider them less our enemies, because of the ties • of consanguinit%I No.. They have insulted that flag which has hither- to given us protection, and been borne in triumph on every sea; they leve siez- ed•ui,on public property, and threaten the perpetuity of the government. They are traitors and deserve the traitor's fate. The love of country must rise snperior to all considerations, save that of Eter• nal Truth. God and humanity demands this—the first for the reason of the latter that, "peace and goodwill towards 'nen," men may prevail. . • The opposition conies into this strug- gle with the sword of despotism drawn. It makes war upon the popular voice, and defeats the ends for which this gov- ernment was established. 1'he same principle that has organized the hostile forces against the government will inan- gerate universal despotism. We owe it .to God, to humanity, and to our country that it shall never prevail, though every mdn may be called into the fleld to resist its influence, and from universal ruin the people again commence the reconstruc- tion of the fair proportions of Republican Liberty. Millions of people, yet unborn will sing our praises for our devotion to the principle which gives thein happiness, The glorious past bids us not falter, while the slowly unfolding future, is freighted with the same mandate. Our County, then, whose success prom ises so much, and whose defeat is fraught with such dire calamities, should elicit our most earnest solicitude. It is no time to consider the causes which have led to our unhappy condition. The government is paramount over all such considertions, and the language of the patriot will be that of our motto: "My Country Right, but Right or Wrong, My Country." THIt CURRENCY,—'The depreciation of the stocks upon which the batiks in Illi- nois and Wisconsin are based, has left us almost destitute cf a circulating medium. Our entire currency was of this descrip- tion, and losses to bill holders have been severe. We congratulate the people up- on the wheat now going forward and bug. gest that they demand their pay in et;e tern currency. It is perplexing, fv say the least to go to bed at night with your pockets filled with promises to pay, and awake the next morning to find them worthless. The worthless currency now in circulation in this State: is a serious drawback to the- mitttriat prosperity of the people. We publish a li t of the banks of Illinois and Wisconsin, whose bills are taken on deposit in this city at par. t rThe Patriotism of W. W.

Resolved, That we appeal to all good citizens, without reference to Lille past, to come up to the necessities of the hour. The meeting was enlivened until a late hour by speeches, songs end mar- tial music, and the utmost unanin►- ety of feeling r revelled. the uni%er- sal feeling was for the snstainnrent of the government at all hazzards. WAR NEWS.—We *not publish all the news with which the telegraph comes freighted. North and South the most active preparations are being made for war. Virginia has passed the secession act, and the probabilities are that every slave bolding State; except Maryland. will follow her into the Southern Confedeta- cy. While the State of Maryland -re- mains loyal to the government, the city of Baltimore, is infested with betides of cut-throats and assassins, who have over- awed both the authorities and the decent citizens, until it may be said in that city secession mei the reign cf terror have joined hands. Almost all business is sus- pended, and the mob holds doiuinion.— A few days ago as the volunteers from Massachus;tts and 1'ensyl•ania, were pas- sing through Baltimore to the defense of Washington City, they were assailed by this snob, and a desperate encounter en- sued, in which lives were lost on both sides, end severe wounds inflicted. The troops succeeded in pushing their way through the mob, and arrived at their destination without further molestation. The President announces that there are now ten thousand troops in Wash- ington and the place secure against any attack that may be made upon it. The garrison at Harper's Ferry, learning that a large body of Virginia troops were about to attack thein, demolished the machinery, destroyed the arms, applied the tomb to the buildings, and evacua- ted the place, leaving the enemy nothing but charred and blackened walls, broken machinery and stockless muskets. The Governors of Kcntueli and Mis- souri state that the President shad have no troops from those States to aid in the support of the government. Notwith- standing the edicts of Governors McUof- fin and Jackson, there are numbers of loyal citizens both in Kentucky and Mis- souri who will peril their lives in defense of the Stats and Stripes. SPLENDID Stocx.—We notice that Mr. Martin, of Hampton, has recently bronght on from Vermont, two thor- ough -bred, fast trotting Morgan horses. We are glad to learn that Mr. Martin has taken especial pains to introduce in- to this county two as fine horses as can be exhibited in the west. It indi• sates that in future thorough -bred stock is to be obtained by the horse raising community. We forbear a description; tho mere an0 •nncementis enough to intlnce horse -fanciers to take a look, and their judgment must de, termine whether we are to have horses of symmetrical form, great powers of endurance and elegance of motion in this county henceforth or sot. The horsas can be seen at the stables of James Archer and Porter Martin in the town of Hampton. Mr. Isgrigg, Ambrotypist, proposes to sell oll those who have volepteered to nerve their country facsimiles of themselves for. half price. Call on him those who want a striking likeness.

IMIiRCVSMENT IN WESTERN BUSiNESS. —One of the strongest indications that theNortwest is getting fairly over herd tinges which have so long prevailed. is Z}►e fact that Messrs.

It is conclusive ev- idence, aleo, that Fairbanks' scales. which have been steadily growing in public favor for over thirty years, are now after so lung anti thorough trial, more highly esteemed than ever before. all through the west.—C'hic:7o Trr'b u,te. MARC PRSPARA•rIt .—More than ever the admonition to conomise, at present ought to attrtic ttentiun. Men are be- ing calved to the battle field, our luxu- ries ought to be applied to the a,tufort of their families. The withdrawal of so many man from , the industry of the country, mat have a tendency to reduce the supplies. We in i t economize labor and .keep up the supplies. The fields must be sown and the harvests cut, else those who escape the sword m ty pet ish by the famine. Those that stay at home no less than those w•ho place their lives between us and dnuger, have a duty to perform, and craven hearted indeed must he bo who would dodge i:s responsibili- ties. A little more exertion must be made, and not for ourselves alone, we must recognize that higher attribute in our nature, which says we are our broth - ere keeper, evinced by dhe swelling heart wherever misery is disclosed. 1Ve must come nearer together and appiy the heal- ing balm wherever a wound, physical or mental, is festering. A word of cons. lation is often better than bread and but- ter, but both should bo freely- given, whenever required. Let this be under- stood, and you will partially rob the par- ting of the soldier of its sting. There will thea be no vascellating between du- ty to government, and the obligation to loved ones at home. \Vonien of Minne- sota, it is your duty to go to the family of the volunteer, with the message of hope and love—see thnt you discharge it. Yes in this crisis cf our national of fairs there is a duty for all to perform— let us make preparation to discharge it faithfully. Telegraphic •silo sTATO OF THE COUNTRY. BUFFALO, April 22.

There is no blessing for me, nor do 1 nak it,' cried Margaret with a frmlm burst of tears. .Woult1 that it were Llis e ill that I might never taste food.' Yet she trembled at these rebellious expressions, almost as soon as they were uttered, and by degrees, Mary succeeded in bringing her sister's mind nearer to the siturgion of her own.— Time rolled on, and the usual hour of repose arrived. The brothers and their brides entered the married state with no more than the slender means which then sanctioned such a step, and confederated themselves in one household, with equal rights to the parlor, ahri claiming exclusive privi- leges to two sleeping rooms contiguous to it. Thither the widowed ones re- tired, after heaping ashes upon the dys ing embers of the fire and placing a lighted lamp on tho hearth. The doors of both chambers were left open, so that a part of the interior of each, and the beds with their unclosed cur- tains, were reciprocally- visible.— Sleep did not steal upon the sisters at one and the same time. Mary experi- enced the effect often consequent upon grief quietly borne, and soon sunk into temporary forgetfulness, while Mar- garet became more disturbed and fe- verish in proportion as the night ad- vanced with its deepest and stillest hours. She lay listening to the drops of rain that came down in monotos nous succession, unswayed by a breath of wind, and a nevous impulse con- tinually causing her to lift her head from the pillow and gaze into Mary's chamber and the intermediate apart- ment. The cold light of the lamp threw the shadows of the furniture against the wall, stamping them ims inoVably there, except when they were shalienby a midden flicker of the flame. Two vacant armsebairs were in their old position on opposite sides of the hearth, where the brothers had been wont to sit in laughing dignity as heath of families; two humble seats mere near them the thrones of that little empire, where Mary and heraelf bad exercised ,n love a power that love had won. The cheerful ra- diance of the fire had shone upon the circle, and the dead glimmer of the lamp might have benefited their re- union now, While Margaret groaned in bitterness, she heard a knock at the street door. 'How would my heart have leaped at that sound but yesterday,' thought she, remembering the anxiety with which she had so long awaited tidings from her husband. '1 care not for it now; let them begone; 1 will not, Arise.' "rhere has been an express throngh the town within this half-honr,' said the good -man Parker, travelling from the westward jurisdiction, with letters from the Governor and Council. Ile tarried at )fly house to refresh hitnself with a drop and a tuorsel, and I asked him what tidings on the frontiers.— Ile toll me WO had the better in the skirmish you wot of, and thirteen men reported slain, aro well and sound, and your husband among them.— Besides, he is appointed one of the es corts to bring the captivated Frenchers and Indians home to the provincial jail.

Gaod So saving, the honest man departed; and the lantern gleamed along the stre_tt, bringing to view indistinct shapes of things, and to fragments of a world, like order glimmering through a chaos, or memory running over the past. But Margaret stayed not to, vetch these picturesque effects. Joy flushed into her heart, and lighted it up at once, and with winged steps, she flew to the bedside of her sister. She paused, howeve, at the door of her chamber, while a thought of pain broke in upon her. 'Poor Mary !' said she to herself.— 'Shall I awaken her to feel her sor- row sharpened by my happinessl— No; I will keep it within tny own bo• sorn till the morrow.' bad been left unclosed, and yielded easily to the hand. Mary leaned from the window, but did not speak. 'Who's there?' asked Mary, tremb- ling as she looked forth. The storm was over, and the moon was up; it shone upon unbroken clouds above, and below upon lakes of fallen rain. curling with silver beneath the quick enchantment of a breeze. A young man, in a sailor's dress, wet as if he had come out of the depths of the sea, stood alone tinder the window. Mary recognized him as one whose /livelihood was gained by short voy- ages on the coast; nor did she forget that, previous to her marriage, he had been an unsuccessful wooer of her hand. 'What do you seek here, Stephen?' said she. 'Cheer up, Mary, for I seek to com- lort you,' answered the rejected lover. 'Yon must know I got home ten minutes ago, and the first thing my moth er told me was about yonr husband, so, without saying a word to the old woman, I clapped on my hat and ran out of the house. I couldn't have Has our love all died out? slept a wink before speaking to you, grown eold? Mary, for the sake of old titnes.'

'But stop, and hear my story out,' cried the yonng sailor.

'Vs'hy, do you ask me shuch a sines - don?' .Why, it was your husband him- self,' continued the generous seaman.

She opened the chamber door, which had been closed in the night, t.h ugh not lathed, ad- vanced to the bedside, and was about to lay her hand on the *lumberer's shoulder. Bnt then she remembered that Margaret would wake to tbe thoughts of death and woe, rendered not the less bitter by the contrast with her felicity. She suffered the rays of the lamp to fall on the unconscious form of the bereaved one. Margaret lay in unquiet sleep. and the drapery Brother Jonathan's Lament for Sister Caroline.

Ilor face was turned upward to the pillow, and had been hidden there to weep; but a look of motionless contentment was visible upon it. as if her heart, like a deep lake, had become calm, because its grief was stink down so far within.— Happy it is and strange that the light er sorrows are those from which dreatio; are chiefly fabricated. Mar- garet shrunk from distdrbing her ids, ter -in-law, and felt as if her own bet- ter fortune had rendered her involun- tarily unfaithfnb, Be if altered and diminished affection most be the cons seqence of the disclosure she had to make. With a sudden stop she turned away. But joy could not be repressed even by the circumstances that would hase edited heavy grief at another moment. Her mind %lea thronged with delightful thoughts, till sleep stole on and transformed them into visions more delightful and more wild, like the breath of winter (but a cold comparison,) working fantastic tracery on the w ndow; When the night was far advanced, Mary awoke with a sticideit start. A vivid dream had latterly involved her in its uureal lite, of which, however, she could only remember that it had been broken in upon at its most in- teresting points. For a little time, slumber hung about hor like a morn- ing mist, hindering her from perceivs ing the distinct outline of her situation She lieterrect with imperfect conscious- ness to two or three volleys of rapid and eager knocking;' at first she deemed the noisea Matter of course, like the breath she thee, next; it ap- peared a thing in which she had no concern; and hastily she became aware that it was a summons necessary to be obeyed. At the same Moment, a pang of recollection darted into her mind; the pall of sleep. was' thrown back from the face of grief;' the dim' light of the chamber and the objects therein revealed, and retained' all her suspended ideas, and restored' them as soon as she unclosed her eyes. Again there was a quick peal upon the street door. Fearing that her sister would also be disturbed. Mary wrapped herself in keloak and hood,. took the lamp from' the hearth and • battened to the window. By some socidett it was displayed around her, her young cheek was rosy tiuted, lips half opened in a vivid smile; an expression of joy debarred its pa -sage by her sealed eyelids, struggled forth like incenee from her whole countenance. the fathers us the strength of children would sever in They may fight till the buzzards are gorged with their spoil, Till the harvest grows black as it rots in the soil, Till the wolves and the catamounts troop from their eaves, And the shark tracks the pirate, the lord of the waves: In vain la the strife!

Of course the sec- retary of state cannot act upon the as- sumption or in any way admit that the so called Confederate States constitute a foreign power, with whom diplos uratic relations ought to be established. Under these circumstances the Sec- retary of State, whose official duties are confined. subject to the direction of the President, to the conducting of the foreign relations of the country, and do not at all embrace domestic questions, or questions arising between the several states and the federal gov- ernment, is unable to comply with the request of Messrs. Forsyth and Craw- ford, to appoint a day on which they may present the evidences of their authority and the sbjects of their visit to the President of the United States. On the contrary, he is obliged to state to Messrs. Forsyth aud Crawford that he has no authority nor is he at liberty gratifying conclusion that that which looks at first blush like a disaster to the governtnent, is in reality but the successful carrying out of an admire- ble plan of tuilitary operations.

Finally, the Secretary of State would obeerve that, although he has euppoeed that, although he has supposed that he might safely and with propriety have adopted these conclusions withont making any reference of the subject to the Executive, yet so strong bas been his desire to practice entire directness and to act in a spirit of perfect respect and candor towards Messrs.

A great many men have a hole in the pocket, and so lose all the little change they put in it. Arid the worst of it is, they do not know it—if they did, they could mend the hole, and so put au end to the loss. Every day they are minus a few dimes, and wonder how they came so short. When the bills are paid they cannot imagine how they comc to be so short of change'. At the end of the year they are surprised to find so poor a foot- ing up. They work hard, rack their brains on plans, and still they do not get ahead much. Bills accumulate, income diminishes, and still they do not disover the hole in the pocket. One man has bad fencer!, gates and barus. The cattle break through now and then and destroy crops, and he oc- cupies time in driving them out. The pigs creep through the holes. The horses get away- The boys and men, and sar vents and dogs are kept on the run after roguish cow; and jumping horses and climbing hogs. The stock becomes uus easy and does not thrive. The crops are injured. The fences are broken down. Time is consumed. The trouble is, that man has a hole in bis pocket. One man has no sheds, nor baine, nor granarice, nor tool houses. His grain is much in- jured and wasted. 'Rivets eat his corn, and the damp weather molds it. His potatoes rot. His purnkins are destroy- ed. His frnit does him but little good. His tools are rotted and rusted in the open weather. Hie stock is chilled and stunted for the want of shelter. His trouble is a hole in his pocket, out of which slips all his profits, with much of the fruits of his hard labor. One man has poor plows of the senile stamp of his ancestors. He can't afford a modem plow. 1% don't believe in sub - soiling. Draining is the nonsense (1 sci entifie fools. Drills are a humbug.— Deep plowing would spoil the lend. So he plows and sows as his grandfather did, ou tbe worn out soil of bit tenera- hie anceetors; He has a hole in his pocket;and will have it till he wakes up to the importance of good tools, and good culture of himself and soil. One man don't take a paper; cant af- ford it ; has no time to reed ; dou't believe in book farming; likes the old ways best; Conies all the stories he has heard from rumor, about large cattle and crops and profits; does not helievi in new notions For forty years he has planted his corn on the same ground ;' sown wheat in the same field ;*pristuied the seine land.'

HASTINGS, MINNESOTA, ATAY 2, . . 1861: C. STEBBINS, Editor: _ _ aa.smowsa The Uprising of the People. The unanimity that prevails in the free States, and the alacrity with which the call for troops is responded to, must be most gratifying to the Ad- tninistration, and removes the em- barrussmenta under which it would otherwise have labored. To see a people moving as one mese, no whisper of dissent where the contaminating influence of tyrany has not oveitopped free labor, is an ange.ry that promises the most decided victory to the Government, and may well make traitors tremble. The la- boring people are as well the fighting people. In peace they are the sinews of trade, which brings thorn the mus- cle for the hour of battle. With in- telligent laboters in the field, capable of counting the cost of defeat, and the results vhich would follow such an event, we know that their arms will be irresistable. It is no coward that tights the battles of life for himself.— He who struggles with toil to keep want from his door is more than the equal of hint who eats the food a me- nial provides.. We shall see it, if the Government orders a trial at arms. The Blockade. The Government has ordered a blockade of Southern ports. In Fort Pickens a position is obtained, around which vessels in the Gulf, may con- gregate and yet bo none the less on the alert for vessels which may have the hardihood to defy the Government.— Indeed the vessels already in those tvaters would be amply sufficient for that work. In view of thim, Jeff. Davis haaac- flounced that he will issue Letters of Marque, that is priveteming to prey on Northern commerce. The President has ordered that all vessels conveying letters of marque, shall Ise treated ac- cording to the statutes relating to pi- racy. Under these circumstances it will be difficult to enlist. crewe, and be- ing enlisted, the extreme penality be- ing inflicted on a few will have the ef- fect to frighten the balance from th waters. The President will probably persist in this blockade, let complaints come from where they may—a generation of traitors are to be subdued, and it must be done, even if a little commerce is sscrificed. The Departure of Volunteers. On Saturday last, at about 11, M., the volunteers from Rice county reached this city, and were reeeived by their companions in arms, the De- kota volunteers, and the citizens gen- erally, with enthusiastic demonstra- tions. They were entertained by or- der of the city, but were impatient, to be acquiring the exercise necessary to fit them for the battle affray. The company numbering 102 aa fine fellows as ever faced a cannon, was under the command of Lieut. AleKune, Capt. Dike having pressed forward to cent- mnnicate at head quarters.

The old Patriot on our Sides It is with the liveliest of emotions that we announce that General Seott is on our side in the present contest against treason,not that it is wonderful that he should be firm for the govern- ment, and that flag which he has so often borne in triumph over bloody fields of victory, but,ahat we have h is military genius—to which he also adds the experience of mo te than half a century. We have confidence in his ability.— with a heart devoted to the orpetnity of the government, we can hildly ex- pect less than that he will startle the country and alartn treason by brilliant schemes such as his brain alone can conceive. It must bo a sad duty that now de- volves on him, perhaps the saddest in his history—that of cementing by the sword, in the blood of the people more firmly the Union of these States, that posterity may have transmitted to them the inheritance of a free Repub lie.

The first pages are given in the May number of that work, and the manner in which the story opens assures us that its pub- lication will add to the already bril- liant reputatien of this most popular of American authors. The story is one of love and duty, of joy and trial. Its heroine is a young girl, born in n Catholic country and educated under the influence of Catholic institutions, and in the development of the plot the author has sought to illustrate the in- fluences of that creed upon the lives and characters of its votaries. From the intense interest in this sur jeet which has been manifested by the people of the United States within the pest few years, and the fact that it has entered so largely into the discuss- ion of the political as well as religroue questions of the time, it cannot be doubted that Mrs. Stowe's elucidation of it, through the medium of fictioue nmostive, will cause it to be as widely sought for and eagerly perused as her previous brilliant contributions to American literature have been. lather, mother, sister and brother. their country was dearer than all; and with film steps they metched on board, o heie after repeated cheers they were lost in the les: enitig distance.

We know not how soon a proclre mation for more troops may be issued, We can put no limit on the duration of our present troubles—it may take weeks, months or years to rebuke the traitors and check rebellion—it must be done however if it shrouds the land in mourn- ing and builds an altar to the memory of loved ones fallen in battle in every fam- ily. The mode of proceeding would be to organize military companies wherever enough men can be concentrated, for that purpose, and having procured arms pro- ceed at once to active driI1,say two even- ings each week. We say evenings, be- cause we must not forget that we have an army to feed and clothe, and that that army has been taken from the Sells of productive industry, the gap in which, by greater exertion we must endeavor to fill np. Every neighborhood has its man who has some knowle Igo of mili- tary tactice, but where this is not the case let recourse be had to soine one of the many very excellent military works now extant. These companies should be formed with a view to actual se, vice, and should be ready to march at a moments notice. Dear es are the endearments of heme, the government is what renders it so. As we love our homes, we must stand by our government, for in the defense of the one, we protect the other. Then let us commence to dill!, and ultimately thoroughly disciplined, be ready to match wherever oto common country may direct. THE MINNESOTA REGIMENT.

Bragg, that his soldiers were so demoralized that he &could not take Fort Pickens, is fraught with momentous con- sequences. That word "demoralized." is big with meaning, though it is capable of two constructions, either of which is equally fatal to the leaders of secession. One that they show evidences of reason returning lo-alty, and cannot be led to attack that flag which has so long given them protection, is hardly to bo hoped for, and the other that intoxication, that first led them into the ranks, yields at no restraints, and mocks to scorn all efforts at discipline.

"Anil what shall I tell you love?" queried the old man as I seated myself by his side, and placed a brimming gob - of medium bight, and fair as the lilly of her northern clime. She donned a dross of plain black stuff, while the coat of one of the deceased pilots was buttoned tightly around her Might form tier face Was ashy pale, as she mount- ed the stairway, and with her hair dis- heveled by the wind, she exclaimed. in a voice which rung clear as the notes of a bugle above the stoem:—"I know something about this Lachine rapid, and will use my best endavors to gu de let of ale by him to help his memory in you, although we have everything of reviewing the past. "Tell me some- thing of the St. Lawrence," I answered, "something real and true." For a moment he was silent; then sipping his ale he commenced :— "Many years ago, when I was so small a boy as hardly to recollect it now, my brother and myself were plac ed on board of one of the Jiver Steans. ers as cabin boys and wasters, with a view to become pilots when wo were older. That was nearly fifty years ago and boats were not fitted up in the style they are now, nor were good pi- lots a thing to be found every day.— We had run up 00,1 down several times wind and weather against us. Let two of you who aro the strongest and most self-possessed, stand by the wheel, while the rest invoke Ilie aid who ever stilleth the tempest, to guide our life - ladened bark Salely through the troub- led waters." "As if in derision of her matchless courage, the mad waves dashed high• er, while the thunder pealed a loud defiance to her words. With palid face and lips compressed, she took her sta- tion at the wheel, while two powerful men stood by to aid her as far as poss- ible. With a firmihand she raised the glass and swept the scene before her, when one morning, about ten o'clock, then bidding them to have courage the we stopped at Brockville to take on hoot glided upon its fearful course, board, as usual, a government pilot to guide us down the river.

"She would receive no thanks for herself, but bidding 115 "give thanks to Him whose voice ruleth the storm," she retired to her state -room, and was lost to view. "Around the cabin table that night, about 81111011f bet ore wo en:ored the harbor of Montteal, we learned her history. She was the daughter of the merchant who owned the line of boats, one of which she had jest saved from ruin. :ler mother died when she was a child, and her father had yielded to her wishes, and allowed her to accom patty him in the boat of which lie was captain. liy degrees she became ac customerl to every bend in that beanti• dent of a pretty serious nature. This I ful river, while calm and storm alike annoyed his companion and hard words passed between thein, since which time a sullen silence had been preaerved. "\Vhen about two miles above the Lachine rapids, some of the rigging aloft gave way, and the night pilot mounted the upper deck with a ladder and attempted to make it fast. The wind blew fiercely, and while exerting all his strength to stay the mischief, he lost his hold and fell, the ladder coin- ing down directly upon the head of our government aid, wounding him pretty severely. Not pausing to look at the mischief he siezed the unfortunate man and with almost superhuman strength, lifted hint above the boat railing — The other quickly guessing his mean- ing, and winding his arms around the neck of his companion, they fell to- gether in the boilng flood below. We lowered the life boat as quickly as pos- sible, ropes were thrown out and every effort put forth to save them—but in vain. They rose to the surface of the water, still locked in each others arms, and then sank from our view forever. "The boat now rushed rapidly on, coming nearer the frightful rapid, while terror struck faces were around us, at the thought that no master hand was near to guide us through the dark pas- sage below. Tho scene which wo had jnet been called to witness only made our situation more terrific, while wild and fearful eyes around us bespoke the agonizing apprehension of the passen- gers and crew as we went plunging madly on to destruction, scarcely half a mile from the gulf, whose dashing wives we could distinctly hear. The' captain had frankly told us of his ina- bility to guide us through the perilous passage,-whiledeck, gangway aud cab- in were filled with men, women and children, some of whom were praying, some weeping, others intensely crazed with an 'agony too intense for utter- ance. Women eagerly clutched their children, and husbands pressed their wives to their bosoms with only the hope of dying together. The captain stood at the wheel, assisted by one of the passengere, vainly endeavoring to hold out to the last and guide her till every:: effort should prove fruitless, on the ceptain's face which bespoke his uneasiness about the final termina- tion of liis journey. NVe had a good many passengers on bostd, and although we usually reached Montreal by four o'clock ia the afternoon, we should be delayed till six if not later About ten tniles this wide of Lachine a storm of rain coin. mencod which rendered it almost im- possible to guide the boat at all; while the rapids of that name, the most ter- rific in the whole tiver, were yet to be passed. The pilot was ono of the best on The route, but a man of pas- sionate temper, with a peculiar dogged look. Between hitand the ordinary hoe pilot there existed an old grudge. which had once or twice led to blows, when they cause in contact with each other. That morning while passing one of the higher falls, they stood at tho wheel together, when owing to the strong current of the water and the almost exhausted strength of him who had guided us almost all the night, one spoke of the wheel slipped front his hands and nearly caused an acci• brought scenes of beauty to het eye.— She was now on her way to visit some friend in Quebec, where her father pro• posed joining her to spend the winter. A gentleman artist sketched her like- ness on a leaf of his portfolio as she stood at the wheel, wrapped in the pi- lot's coat, with the glass in her hand, and her full length portrait still graces the gallery of fine arts in Montreal. -- Many a rough hand grasped the snowy fingers at parting and many a blessing crowned that noble head. "A magnificent diamond bracelet, bearing upon an inside plate the name of the vessel and the date of the occur. ranee, was presented to her about a week after her arrival in Quebec, by the passengers who were on board at the time; while lond and triumphant were the praises borne to the ears of the fond parent of the noble conduct of that frail but fear CSS one who had brave 1 the dangers before which stout hearts and strong forms had quailed." And what became of her after. wards?" I inquired. "She married an office i in Quebec, and her children still live there. One is a noble boy, or rather man now, and lie plows the ocean in one of the noble battle ships of England." AMUSEMENTS.—The natural and only safe mode of enjoying amusements is in common. Where one sex enjoy their amusements alone they are sure to run into excesses. The division of the human family into man, woman, and child, father, mother, brother and sister, is the only conservative princi- ciple of society; they act and re-aetrup• on each other like the different seasons on the earth.

Old Mr. V., a well-to-do farmer out in Illinois, had some four msriageable daughters; and, being one of that class of men who think their girls should get married as Noon as they are out of their short clothee, felt somewhat chagrined that his girls should remain on his hands so long. Now, there vas a young fellow in the neighborhood who had been waits ing on the V. gide for some time, and had gone the rounds, from oldest to youngest; and the old man had been anxiously waiting for, and expecting young B. to ask 'consent' for some one of the girls, but as yet had waited in vain. B., however, had proposed and had been accepted, but the old folks bad not been made acquainted with the fact. Now, in the meantime, young B. hal purchased a fine horse of the obi gent, and had given his note on six months' time for one hundred dollars. Well. pay-day was fast approaching, and B. had not the 'ready' to meet it; so, the day before the note came due, young B. made his way over to the old gent's, determined to ask hint for his daughter—hoping thereby to get an extension on the note at least. As good luck would have it, ho met the old roan in the yard, and was about to go through with that some- what embarrassing ceremony of 'ask— ing consent,' when imagine his aur - prise and joy, the old gent broke out with the following: 'Look here, B., you young rascal, yon have been courtin' my gals for more'n a year; you've been gaddin' and cuttin' round with the hull on 'em. Now, your note comes due to- morrow, and I'll tell you what I'll do. -You shall marry one of the gals --I don't caro a snap which—and I'll give you a good settin' out, and your hundred dollar note to boot; and if you don't I'll sue you, by thun der!' 'It's a bargain,' says B. '1'11 do it.' Anil the next week there was a 'tallwedding down at the old man V.'s; and to this day B. chuckles over the way the old man gave his consent Withon't asking, 'and a hundred dollar note to boot.'

I am now able to give a complete and accurate narrative of the transfer of the twenty-one thousand stand of arms, from St. Louis to Springfield. Capt. James H. Stokes, of Chicago, late of the Regular Army. volunteered to undertake the perilous mission; and Gov. Yates placed in his hands the requisition of the Secretare of War for ten thousand muskets. Capt. Stokes went to St. Louis and male his way as rapidly as possible to the Ar- senal. He found it surronnded by an immense mob, and the postern gates all closed. His utmost efforts to pen- etrete the crowd were, for a long time, unavailing. At last he managed to attract the attention of one of the girards.by whom he sent for the Cap. tain of the Company stationed at that part of the Arsenal yard, and to him he make known that he was a bearer of dispatches from the War Depart- ment. With some difficulty, he was admitted without attracting the pars ticular notice of the crowd. On reaching the arsenal proper. he learned that Major Hayner, of the Ordnance Department, had jug bon ordered to Levenworth, whither he had gone on the preceeding dity. He had been su- pereeded by Major Callender, an old class mate of Capt. Stokes, at West Point. A council was immediately held be- tween Cap. Stokes, Maj. Callender and Capt. Lyon, the latter being the officer in command of the regular troop and volnnteers. The requi.ion was ehown. Capt. Lyon doubted the poesibillity of executing it. Ile said the Arsenal was surrounded by a thousand spies, and every movement was watched and reported to the head quarters of the secessioniets, who could throw an overpowering force urn them at any moment. Capt. Stokes represented that every hour's delay was rendering the capture of the Arsenal more cer• tole; and the tams must be removed to Illinois, now or never. Maj. Callen- der agreed with him and told him to take them at his own time and in his own way. This wee Wednesday night. Capt. Stokes bad a spy in the camp of the seeeesionists, whom he met at intervals in a certain place in the city. On Thursday he received information that Gov Jackson had ordered two thoueaud armed men down from Jefferson City, whose movements could only contemplate a seizure of the Arsenal, by occupying the heights around it and planting batteries there. on. The job would have beets an easy one. They had already planted one battery on the St. Louis levee, and an- other at Powder Point, a distance be- low the Arsenal. Capt. Stokes immediately tele- graphed to Alton to have the steamer City of Alton drop down to the Ar- senal landing, about midnight. He then returned to the Arsenal and com- menced moving the boxes of guns, weighing some three hundred pounds each, down to the lower floor. About Eleven hundred men employed in the work. Ile then took five hundred Kentucky flint -lock muskets, which had been sent there to be altered, and sent them to be placed on a steamer as a blind to cover his real moventente.— The secessionists nabbed them at once, and raised a perfect Bedlam over the capture. A large portion of the out- side crowd left the Arsenal when this movement was executed; and Capt. Lyon took the remainder who were ly- ing around as spies, and locked them up in his guard house. At about eleven o'clock, the steamer City of Alton came alongside; planks were shoved out from the windows to the deck, and the boxes slid down.— W hen the ten thousand were safely on board, Capt. Stokes went to Capt. Lyon and Major Callender, and urged them, by the most pressing appeals, to let hint empty the Arsenal. They told him to go ahead and take what- ever he wanted. Accordingly he took eleven thousand more muskets, five hundred new rifle carbines, five hun- dred revolvers, one hundred and ten thousand musket catridgea, to ssy nothing of the cannon, and a large qyautity of miscellaneous accoutre- ments, leaving only seven thousand muskets in the Arsenal, to arm the St. Louis volunteers. When the whole were on board, about two o'clock Friday mousing, the order was given, by the captain of the steatner, to cast off. Judge of the consternation of all hands when it was found that she would not move. The arms had been piled in great quantities around the engines to protect them against the battery on the levee, and e groat weight had fastened the bows of the boat firmly on a rock, which was testing a hole through the bot- tom at every turn of the wheels A man of less nerve than Captain Stokes would have gone crazy on the spot.— He called the arsenal mon on board, and conimenced moving the boxes to the stern Fortunately, when about two hundred boxes had been shifted, the boat fell away from the shore, and floated in deep water. 'Which way?' Enid Captain Mitchel, of the steamer. 'Straight to Alton in the regular chan- nel,' replied Captain Stokes. 'What if we are attacked? said Captain Mitchel!. 'Then we will fight!' said Capt. Stokes.' 'What if ware over- powered?' said Capt. M.

Mr. George Dwight, the new Super- intendent of the United States Armory, in this city, has assumed charge of that establishment. There are now 350 men employed in the armory, and its production is about 1,500 rifle muskets each month. With new machinery and more me, ebanies, there is shop room enough to extend this to ::,500 a month; and by working day and night, employing doubly sets of worktnen, the capacity of the establishment may even be in- creseed to 4,000 or 5,000 muskets a month. 'Pie neeessities of the gov- ernment, in this erisio, will doubtless produce itnmediateeordere for work- ing the armory up to the latter pro- rluetion; and then it will give employ. Who that lute ever looked upon Raphaers Madonna, but has marked the loving smile that has played around her mouth? There it is and there it will ever remain—the sweetest expression of her face—the smile of a mother over her infant boy!

They linger around the lips, they light up the eyes and cast a serenity over the countenance. The atnile of a living face, says the poet, ie better than splendor that fadeth quickly. And I am musing now, though many years have fled since then --of one sweet smile that broke upon me. I do not know why that smile should linger longer in my memory than any other. I, donbtless, have seen graver smiles and more pensive ones; smiles of scorn and of anger; smiles which wreathed the lips and stirred the heart, yet the memory of them has passed away.

As the "last best gift" are discuss ing the dress question in the Rural,' we think the retnarks of the "sterner sex,"—a young man in Oswego Co., who has been inspred by calico,—aro worthy of more than a passing notice. Read them, anti ponder. "Calico drosses are grand institt- tion.

RED RIVER ON A HIGS.—The whole Pembina region is said to bo innunda- led. A large extent of country is covered with water, and the people iaye fled with their stock to the high lauds for safety. The United States ships of tsar number fifty-six, and carry about 1,000, gens. About two thirds of this force can be used in enforcing the blockade of the Southern pmts. THE TnAITORs BENDING THEIR Fall LIES Nor,Trl.—The families of many of the leading traitors have been sent north for protection. This is snper- ffaous, as Northern freemen make no war on defenceless wo-nen and chil- dren—it is traitors with arms in their hands that we shall endeavor to bring to their senses. If the Southern insti- tutions is the sword of Damocles that they fear—let the women anal child- ren come, and remember that that sword will threaten so long as a ser- vile race 'mingles with their society. God avert an insurrection among the slaves, for in knelt an event . the inuo- cctl1 must sufferwVith the guilty.

The same loco necessary to drive the rebels into subjection, will be effective in removing the causes out of which the rebellion sprung. It must be so; in the very na- ture of things the cense cannot exist without like results. Do not under- stand us to say that slavery must be at once abolished; we only mean to say that the Slave Power can no longer be the dominant one in the affairs of the nation Revolutions never go back. wards, ami the real revolution now go- ing forward is that which is apparent in the sentiment of the people, and which prostrates the slave power. The fight is the effort to maintain its position, and its success now involves our ruin. ClL1n .cTF:11 o'tc.—Gen. Pillow writes to Parson Brownlow offering hila the appointment as Chaplain of his regi- ment, to which Brownlow replies: When I shall have made up my mind to go to hell, I will cut my throat and go direct, and not travel round by way of the Southern Confed- eracy. Nutri. '1'Rooi s 'TENDERED.—Gov. Ramsey has tendered the President another Regiment of volunteers, and awaits the reply. There will be no difficulty in enrolling the men for the service. but they will protest against being quarte red on the frontier in idle- ness, while those of other Status are achieving honors in the field of bat- tle. Troops can be enlisted here but they want some more formidable foe to combat than mosquitoes. Gov. Ram- sey and troops will obey orders, but if anything will have a tendency to make them mutinous it will be a tramp with with their backs to the real foes. TO TiIE Fortis.—A dispatch las been received ordering tho troops that have volunteered in this State unser the proclamation of tho President, to garrison the Forts in this State. '!'hero aro four forts; Snelling, Ridgely, Rip- ley and Abercrombie. In Fort Snell- ing four companies aro tp remain, while two companies aro ordered to each of the other Fsrts. This order is far from giving satisfaction. Tho vole unteers were enlister with a view to bringing traitors to their senses, in- stead they are sent to tho western wilds, where the news will be two months in teaching them. It is too bad, but to obey orders is the first duty of a soldier. THE KILLED AT FC1(T DIOULTr.IE.-- It is beginning to leak out that the shots of Jlej.

All at Ou00 the Union sentiment has become the dominent one, and the indications are that llissouri will furnish her quota nf troops for the set vice of the United States, notwith- standing the inso:ent reply that Gov.

Lotus, May 3.—The Lower House of the Legislature completed its organi- zation this forenoon, by electing all the old officers, except speaker pro tem, Har- ris being elected over Boyd. The Gov- ernor's Message was delivered` to both Houses this morning, after which the Ifouse went into secret session. Gov. Jockson says the President in calling out troops to subdue the Steed. ed States, has threatened civil war, and has acted unconstitutionally and illegally and tending towards a consolodatel des- potism.

FROM NORTH CAROLINA. WASHINGTON, May 3.—A despatch from Raleigh says that the North Caro- lina Legislature met yesterday. The as- sembly speedily organized. A bill call• ing a Convention was passed unanimous ly, to assemble on the 20th. There was no reference of its submission to the pee. pro. The Southern Confederacy flag is fly- ing over the Capitol of North Carolina, and that State is now virtually out of the Union. The Governor has organized a Camp of Instruction at Raleigh. He says that the Northern Government is now concentrating a large force in the District of Columbia, ostensibly to sup- port the seat of Government, but such a forte cannot be allowed within the limits of Maryland and on the borders of Vir- ginia without endangering the liberties of the people•of those States. If they be conquered and overcome, we will be the next prey: to the invaders. Policy then as well as sympathy, and a broth- erhood endangered by a common inter- est, requires us to exert our energies -in the defense of Maryland and Virginia.— Every battle fought there will be a bat- tle fought in behalf of North Carolina, and there our troops aliculd be speedily sent.

The military programme of the Government is comprehensive and will vigorously executed.

A body of twenty thousand will be embarked up- on stear0 tratisports, under the convoy of lulu -of -war, at the earliest possible inomcnt, to harrass the rebels of the Gulf States, exhaust their energies by compelling them to hurry their forces from point to point, and effect land- ings for the recapture of military posts. The relief cf Fort Pickens will doubtlessly bo the first demonstra- tion of the fleeting army. 'The precipitation of Virginia, North Carolina and Tennesse into the secess- ion movement was the immediate ocs rasion of the second call for an ad- ditional force of 612CIy•fiVe thousand volunteers. General Scott was confi• dent of being able to put down the rebellion in the cotton and sugar States with the seventy five thotiSand men first called out. Should' the re- bellion spread still further in the bor- der slave Slates, a third call will un- questionably be made. As it is, the placing of large reserves upon a war footing in alt the free States, will en- able the Government to use the whole of the one hundred and sixty thousand men summoned into service for offen- sive operations, the reserve forces be- ing inore than sufficient for home de- fence.

From the N.Y. World. HEROISM OF ANDERSON. The history of the defense of Fort Sumter, only exonerates him from any suspicion of unfaitlifulneas, but puts him in the very brightest list of Amer- ican heroes. We doubt whether there is a page in all American history that will hereafter be read with greater pride. No position was ever so long maintained against such odds; no des fenee was ever carried more closely to the brink of annihilation. Bomarsund. a granite fortress of tho first order. mounting nearly 200 guns, sixty mote than Fort Sumter, and with a garri- son of 2.300 men, while Fort Sumter had but 60, was reduced in nine boars by a force of less than 1,000 English and French actually engaged, with less than twenty guns of all descrip- tions, the most effective execution be- ing done by three 32 poundere, firing at 800 yards across au inlet. Here was a surrender of this immense gar- rison in so brief a period, after a can- nonade which was almost child's play in comparison with what this little handful of American soldiers sustain- ed for nearly four times as long. And yet nobody ever charged that the Rus- sian commander failed in either ener- gy or fortitude. But Major Anderson did not after all, yield, like the Rus• sian, to the bombardment itself. It was an incidental circumstance—the burning of his barracks which ought never to have been of wood—that compelled him to cease resistance.— This conflagration produced four ef- fects, any one of which would have made it almost madneas for him to hold out longer: First, it created a scorching heat and a stifling smoke, which made it impossible to coatiuue active exertion; Second, it cut off all access to the magazine, and prevented the needed supply of atuunition; it burned down the wooden m in gates of the fort, and left the gArrison com- pletely iu the power of a storming r ar- ty ; and Fourthly, it exposed the maga- zine every instant to an explosion which would have burled into eternity every living man within the fort. Consider- ing this combination of terrible con- straints,' any ono of which would have made it almost foolhardiness to have endeavored to hold out an hour longer, The terms and attendant ciicumstancee under which Major Anderson gave up the fortress were of the most extraordi nary character. The white flag was first displayed, not by himself, but by a messenger from the enemy, who wished to 'stop the Yew k.' He refused to bur t ender the fort, and would only consent to simi le evacuation, and on the sante honorable terms which he had himself, on account of the exhaus tion of his stores, voluntarily proposed before the fight, to take effect on a cer- tain day, if he was not reinforced or should not receive counter instructions. chese terms, notwithstanding hisdite ful extremity, he would not abate from one iota; and the enemy accepted them. As if himself the conqueror, he remain- ed in the fort for nearly twenty-four hours after the firing had cense 1—no hostile soldier's foot having yet step. ped within its limits—then, all the moveable property of the fort having been taken care of, and all things made ready. he solutes his still flying flag with one hundred guns, lowers it, em- barks upon a vessel that carries the stars and stripes, and joined the nation• al fleet. After he had thus withdrawn, and not until thee, did the enemy take possession of the riddled and half smouldering fortress. Thus in no settee was there a capitulation. It Was a simple withdrawal, rind one which, in the judgement of history, will re- flect infinitely more honor upon Major Anderson and his little command than upon his thousands of assailants. A WARNING TO YOUNG MEN. The •'Alta Californian," published at San Francisco, says that in 1850, there came to this city, from New York, in the great throng of fortune seekers at that time setting towards the West, a young man, whose name we will not publish. He was ono of' an old, wealthy, and highly respectable family in his native city, but with the spirit of reckless adventure then pre- dominant, he preferred the wild uncer- taisties of a California life, to the eve ery day conventionalities of home its duties and business restraints. Soon after his arrival, he succeeded by the use of his family name, and letters of introduction, in gettiug a luerative'ap• pointment in the United States Cus- tom House. under Mr. T. Butler King which lie held through that administra- tion, and retained under Beverly Saun- ders. During this period. he was in the receipt of large suing of money, which were squandered with all the blind and thoughtless extravasanee of those days. Wine, Women, horses, billiards, gambling of all kiosls— each touk their turn. Yet the young New Yorker, mindful of his social sta- tion, kept up an outward appearance of decency, and sported all the fine clothes, jewelry, etc., necessary to aps pear like a gentleman, and his de- baucheries were conducted by night so as not to interfere with the duties of his office. After the defeat of Gen. Scott, the Whig candidate for President, for 1852, our hero lost his Custom House position, and was thrown upon his own resourses for a livelihood. Un- used to battle with the world in busi- ness matters, and unfit fur commercial concerns, he soon exhausted what little he had—began to fall into a seedy ape pearence, and finally was obliged to dispose of his jewelry, etc. From this ho gradually fell in the social scole until he became the proprietor of miseraLle, deuce house and rum mill, on Pacdie st. His former acquaintan- ces now deserted him, and soon after he married a South American woman, whose character only helped to drag him down. Subject to the vicissitu- des of such a life, he shifted from one wretched place to another, became well known to the police. and was fre- quently taken before the Police Judge Jur disreputable and lawless acts. His personal appearance was now that of a wretched sot—the companion of low characters and abandoned wo- men. This has been his life, particularly for the last two yearn. Laterly, he had become too wretched a creature to keep open his groggery. Last week he was arrested as a common drunk- ard, at which time we mentioned him (without then knowing his history.) as suffering with delirium tremens iu a cell in the station house, where he passed the night crawling round on his hands an 1 knees, to avoid the tan- gle of snakes which his distemcered imagination pictured as writhing about his feet. It was but a few days after that he died, and was taken to a pauper's grave at Lone Mountain ceru- etry—a truly pitiable and unsightly victim to his own base passions.— This is one of thousands of instances where young men, with high hopes and aspirations, have been unequal to the excitements and temptations of California lite. California has been the grave of multitudes of such.— This brief narrative may serve to point a moral, and, as an example, save others from an equally ignomin- ious fate. DOUGLAS' SPEECH AT COLUMBUS.— Senator Douglas made a speech at Co limbus, Ohio, on Tuesday last, in which he said it was useless to waste time in discussing the causes of the civil war—all that we had now to con- sider was our duty as citizens, and that duty was to stand by the flag, and defend the Capital of the nation. The question was, would the people permit traitors t�destroy the constitu- tionally elected Government, or would they suppress rebellion? This was a great commercial question. Shall wo have a petty passport system, which would require of every. citizen who wished to cross a State line such a per- mit SS is now given in the South to a negro? Shall our baggage bo over. hauled on every border, if we wish to travel? Shall our commerce be sub. j-?ct to sectional dictation? It is no time for crimination.

A correspondent sends as for insers tion says the Banner the following rather humorous. though just and forcible assertion of the claims of "our foremothers" to the veneration and love of their dessendants: We hear enough about our forefath- ers. They were nice old felloWs, no doubt. Perfect bricks in their way. Gond to work, eat, or fight. Very well.— But where are their companions, their 'chums'—who as their helpmates, urged them along? Who worked and delved for our forefathers, brushed np their old clothes, and patched their breeches? Who unpetticoated thena- selvea for the cause of liberty? Who nursed our forefathere when sick; and eungYankee-doodle to their babes; who trained up their boys? Our foremotb ers. Who Ian led at James River, and came over in the Mayflower, and es- tablished other early settlements?— Were there women among them?— Ono would'think not. Our Yankee neighbors, especially, make a wonder- ful talk about the Pilgrim Fathers who squatted on Plyrneth Rock, and there is a great ado made over it every time they wish to get np a little enthusiasm on liberty, and refresh thein elves by crowing over freedom; ond the chiv- alry of Virginia aro not a whit behind them, when they take a notion to vaunt themselves upon the glory and greatness of the eld Dominion; and r staid Pennsylvania Quakers, too, liko to plume themselves slyly on the merits and doings of William Penn and his associates; but, with all their 'blarney' so plentifully distributed on all sides. what do we hear or gather about our fcremothers. Didn't they land on a rock too? Didn't they ens counter perils and hardships! And afterall, didn't they, with their kind hearts and warm arms, sustain the flagging spirit of their male compan- ions, and keep the stalwart but chilly old forefathers front freezing. to death, during those horrible cold winters which some of them had to shiver through? We have our monuments commemorating, and our speeches, our songs, our toasts, and our public dinners celebrating, the wonderful deeds of our forefathers: but where aro those in honor of our foremoth• ers? We had better be getting them ready. We talk ourselves hoarse, and write ourselves round,shouldred, while boiling over with enthusiasm about the nice things our forefathers did; and yet nothing is said about our foremothers; to whom many a virtuous act and bravo deed may be ascribed, such as any hero would bo proud to own — Berrides, we forget to remember, that if it had not been for our foremothers, we ourselves would not be hero to know and be proud of what our fore- fathers did. We wish not to detract. All hail to the noble old boys, our forefathers, say we. May the glory of their deeds never be less; but the good Book tells us to 'render unto Cresar,' etc., and we wish to epeak a word in season for woman generally, and es- pecially for our noble and bell sacrific• ing foretnothers, lest time and the one- s ided page of history shall blot them forever trona our memory. tit HASTINGS IfiDEPENIMIL, - arereueratrisarreas inecolumnoneyear., Oneeolumniiimontlia 46,110- Duclialt column ode ea1 An XV One hal f column aix monthly ....,25,00 One rielFtej of a coin mnsinesear, . 25,00 One sTiarecniejear ....... 10,00 One.squarem?mu si onths BlIfifilets,oarde &re linenor lees 7,01 Leaded ordisplayed advertisement FWili h3 charged 50 per cent above these rates Special notices 11 ceiits-per Inc Inc fi rs insertion,and 10 cents each itibaequent in sertion Transcientadvertisements must bepaid fo in ad vance—al lotherp q tia rterl y .

Quite an excitement was created in our town this morning upon the announ- cement of the nnsual and precipitate appcarsnce of a stranger last n:ght about nine o'clock. But the manner in which the citizens of 'Pea Ridge' Union District welconed him was quite ludicrous. The stranger, as 1 learn, (Professor Lowe, the distinguished reranatit,) AS- cended in his car at Cincinnati. Ohio, on the 20ili inst., at four o'clock, A. M., with the design of going to Washing- ton City; but having come in contact With a strong current of air, was borne rapidly in this direction. He decendert at one time in what he supposed was the Spartanburg District; but finding that he was some distance from any railroad, and wishing to make for as near a point to one as his limited amount of gas would allow him, re -ass cended and took a southward directions direction, and soon found himself In the vicinity of 'Pea Ridge.' But what was the consternation of the people on seeing the balloon ap- proaching! Believing the day of dual retribution had come, and being wholly unprepared, some sought refuge in the adjacent woods, while (authors were val- orous, and resorted to fire•arms. Nor were the old ladies less affected; but with giant strength siezed fence rails, &c., and vociferously refused to allow ti ';lsstroying angel,' as they believed hiin to be, to dwell among them. But he being no longer able to sustain him- self in his car, decended anaid the cries' and imprecations of the specottors, and doubtless would have fared but poorly, had it not been for one gentleman who was more enlightened on the subject,. and who demanded for him a respite. lie was accordingly allowed time to breathe, on condition that while he re. notined with us bo should be lodged safely in jail. He was put into a wagon, and drawn to the 'stone house,' but the. kind hearted jailor refused to confine him, and consigned him to tho care of Hews.

In that city there was a post of secession troops called camp Jackson, whore from twelve to fifteen hundred of the rebels were quartered. Those were convened in harmony wit}i the views of the secession Governor Jack- son, who all along been endeavoring to precipitate Missouri into the arms of the Southern Confederacy. The great body of the people of Missouri, however, have remained true, and Frank P. Blair and his co•operatore have been enabled in that state to call in- to the field in defense of the government from eight to ten thousand men. -- These two bodies of men came in col lision on Saturday last, resulting in tut little loss of life, and making the entire secession force prisoners of war. Later intelligence informs us that in making the rebels at St. Louie prix• oners not a shot was fired. The blood shed was after, and was cansed by an assault of the mob on the Government troops.

It is probable that the entire regiwenf will enroll fur the three year's ser • vice. THE GRIN EAGLE LeaT.—Tho fine steamer Gtey Eagle, Captain IIarris, .o widely and popularly known in this region, was wrecked on the 9th instant, at the Rock Island bridge. She etrnck the pier on her !aboard side, cutting her in two, and floated below the bridge where tho passengers and crew were received by the Ferry boat and taken to Davenport. The boat and cargo aro a total lose. The clerk reports no lives lost, but it is rumored that several were drowned. GOOD FOR THE BORDER STATES. -- The President is receiving hearty re- sponses from Tennessee, Kentuoky, and Maryland, and a regiment from each of these States is expected to be soon in the field for the defense of the Government. There is yet good pats riotic blood in those States, and the Government cannot be too careful that it ie not squandered wantonly. £-Beauregard is not dead, as rem ported by telegraph. He passed tbro' Atlanta, Ga., on the 29th of April, on his way to Mentgomery. AN APPEAL FROM ST. LOUIS. The call for four regimente by the President flim Missouri, to quell the re- bellion, met with but indignity from the Governor of that State, but, rising su- perior to his treason, the people of that State have raised the four regiments, and now make the following appeal to patriotic citizene: Felloto Citizens in the Free States— Placed on an advanced post of liberty in the present struggle for the mainten- ance of our government, we have, in obedience to the call of our Preeident, organised the four regiments of volun- teers from Missouri. ,As citizens of a State whose first executive is, as you well knota:.opposed to the government of the United States, we, as s matter of course, cannot expect support from him or the State Government, fur furthering the purposes of our Federal Government: We are, therefore, compelled to appeal to the sympathies of our fellow citizens in the Free States, who have with un precedented unanirnity conte to tris sup- port of our Government, for the nccea- nary meaneof providing our first equip- ment. Many of our men aro destitute of the moans to purchase the necessary nniforms, blankets, &c. ]laving no elaim on our General Government until After threacmonths' service, we appeal to the sympathy of our Union loving fellow citizens in the Free tater for the necessary nsaistance and support, fu lv satisfied that a part of that patriotic liberality so freely shown to their own volunteers, will not be withe'd from u4. Anticipating such sympathy, ee will strain every nerve to uphold the author- ity of our Federal Government in this remote and important post of the great West,;ngainst treason and rebellion, in order,that the wiehes of the patriots and Union -loving men of this country may soon:be fulfilled, and that rebellion be clashed, and they cause of right and justice be triumphant over treaaen and secession. Gov, Gustavus Koerner, of Belleville Illinois, has kindly consel,ted to act for us as receiver and disburser; and, with out consultation, we feel at liberty to ask Lane Sherman, E -q, and Sigismund , Kaufman, E -q., of the city of New York, Evans Rogere, Eeq, of Philadel pbia, and Judge '1'horas Russell of Bos- ton, to act in our brhalf ,n those cities. UNION FLAG IN NININGER. The glorious old stars and stripes now float over the city of Nininger.— On Saturday kat a goodly number of the people of that place and vicinity assembled and erected a liberty -pole, from which the flag now waves. Tho pole is eighty feet above ground, straight as an arrow, and very eyme- trical in appearance. The flag is a large and handsome one, and we felt a feeling akin to envy that we had not as handsome a one in Hastings. We never save a pole raised more hand- somely, and we must say that the management was complete. The flag was the donation of the patriotic ladies of Nininiger, who were alive to the .occasion, as well as the circumstances which made it necessary, and many of them were present, and with their smiles encouraging the patriotic work. When the old emblem—the consecra- ted emblem, mounted the staff, the cheers.of the croivd was prolonged and enthusiastic, and stirred the heart with the grateful remembrance that in every locality, the old flag because its honor is threatened, has become en object of a thousand times more in- terest—to lose our treasure, threaten our rights or endanger our country is what threbles our love and makes us darn all for their safety. Speeches were made by A. M. Hayes, C. Stebbins, Wm. Junes, Mr. Haskell, and A. C. Poor, which worn the ex- pressions of a patriotic heart finding utterance, inspired by the scene, the occasion, ani the hearty response whioh the ideas presented found in every heart. The occasion passed off most pleas antly, and in the language of ono of the Nininger ladies, "it was a day long to be remembered." THE FLORA. Perhaps there is no country on the globe where there are a greater variety of flowers than in Minnesota. They bedeck the prairie, and render tribute to the forest. We rave simply introduced this subject for the purpose of directing the attention of young ladies to the study of the nntnro, quality and classification of our wild flowers. The task can- not fail of being a pleasant one, each flower bringing its own reward, while the mental activity thus induced will strengthen the faculties of the mind, and atimulato to still higher pursuits. Our Divinity is the True and Beanti ful, and perhaps has no more lovely earthly representative than the flowers. Their study naturally suggests Him who created the lilly of the valley, and is calculated to expand our thoughts, and enlarge our faculties. Again the wild flowers of Minnesota are not yet classified—that work is yet to be performed. It is the natural task of woman, and we expect them to hasten to the work with alacrity. It ie best to procure the beat works on Botany, appropriate and classify nnder the directions there set fortheem- bracing our own flowers; the compila- tion of which inay bring forth a vole unto entitled the Flora of Minnesota. OUR FOREIGN RELATiONe.—WASH- INGTON, May 9.—Tho published letter to Mr. Dayton, the Minister to France, is understood to he an index to the entire European correspondence, It is understood that the Government has received from Minister Dallas an Re- count of an interview with Palmerston, the result of which justifies the asser- tion that there is no indication or pros- pect of the recognition of tho Confed- erate States by any of the foreign pow- ers against the protest of the Admin• istration. Mr. Preston's next despatches from Spain, in reply to a demand for explanations relative to San Domingo, and also about a recoggition of the Southern Confederacy, are looked for with much interest. Mr. Preston, al- though a Kentuckian, is loyal-, and is understood to be acting in such a man- ner as to meet the approbation of the Administration. All the foreign min- istere aro anxiously making inquiries abort the application of the blockade, but not a word of complaint is uttered. GOOD FOR Mlssouer.—Frank Blair writes to the New York Evening Post, May 20 at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri —as follows: "In one week the four regiments called for front Miss-ouri were mustered into service, arched and equiped, and are now on duty at the arsenal and Jefferson Barracks. and ready to do duty whenever they ntay be wanted.— Another regiment and three battalions have since been forwarded, and St. Louis alone will in two weeks furnish front 8,000 to 10,000 men• for the maintenance of the Union and' the suppression of this infamous rebellion. Let it be known that the people of this State have prornptly responded, alone of all the Slave States, to the call of the Government, and protected for the Government all the public property within her limits; and her regiments now -stand ready to go wherever the ex- igences of the publio service may re- quire. (tj Confesderate troops are coneen• trating at Harper's Ferry. This is but a few miles from Wasnington, and we may expect to hear of skirmishing in that viciuity in a shor-(time, if it does net result in an obstinate battle. The rebels are fortifying. BUILD MONUMENTS. THE, LATEST NEWS. ST. Loud, May $4.—The first four regiments of United States Volunteers, under command of Cols. Blair, Boern. stein, Sigell and Scnttner, have been for- med into a brigade, under the etyle of the First Brigade of Missouri Volunteers and Capt. Lyon has been elected Briga. dier-General Commanding. den. Ly- on accepts the position, and retains com- mand of those regiments by authority of the President. Emmett McDonald Cepheid of the mounted rifles belonging to the southwest expedition having refused to swear alle- giance to the United States or accept a release on parole is still confined in the arsenal as a -prisoner of war. Gen. Hurley publishes this morning an address to the people of Missouri, in which he calla attention to the military bill recently passed by the Legislature which he regards as an indirect secession ordinance--unconstitutional—and ought not to be upheld by the good citizens of Missouri. He says whatever may be the termination of the present condition of things in respect to the Cotton States, Missenri must share the destiny of the Union. All her national interests point to this result, and so important is this regarded to the great interests of the country that he will venture the opins ion that the whole power of the United States Government, if necessary, will be exerted to keep Missouri in the Union Speaking of Camp Jackson, he says the names of Davis and Beauregard marked its main avenues; that a body of men or- ganized in the interests of the secession- ists have been received there openly bearing 'the dress and badge distinguish- ing the army of the so called Southern Conholeracy, and leaves the people to draw their own inferences of the char - acter and ultimate purpose of the en- campment, although there are many good men in the camp. Orders were ieeued yesterday that any attack by soldiers or mobs on property of citizens or sojourners with- out authority will bo promptly inquir- ed into and offenders hong under mar- tial law if offenses amount to loss of life or property. The Northern Methodist Church was stoned on Sunday night by a crowd of drunken men and boys, and th'e winds ows were smashed. WIIEELINO, May 14 —Tho Conven tion assembled at 11 o'clock, The jour- nal was road, and after making some corrections, among which was striking out Fredrick county, the chair announc- ed that the business before the Conven• tion was the reportof the code on Fede- ral relations. Mr. Willey arose to a question of privilege. He had been misunderstood yesterday as favoring post- ponement of action on the ordinance of secession which was voted on. He only differed with Mr. Carlisle, who favored they may have given place to butter immediate action, as to the course to be structures, they still servo their pur. pursued. The committee not being ready pose until tht>.mvre modern are crumbs to report, Gen. Jackson, of Wood coun- ting to decay, and they become the ty, moved an adjotienment till 2 p. m., land marks while again others rise but withdrew, The resolution of Mr. from the plain. But most enduring, Carlile, instructing tho committee' on most graceful and most grateful of all state and federal relations to report an monuments is the long rows of forest ordtnnnce ,declaring the connection of trees distinguished by the name of the counties in the Tenth and Eleventh him who planted them, retaining Congressional Districts (including the county of Wayoe), dissolved, and also the report" of a declaration of indepen- dence, with a constitution for a new state to be called New Virginia. Col. Wheat objected on the ground of for©stalling the action of both the committee and' the' eonventi:n, ae all debate on such reso- lutions was prohibited. A debate en- sued between Carlisle, Willey, Jackson and Wheat. Finally Carlisle modified his resolution so as to read: Asking the committee to report the expediency of such an ordinance. The resolution was. then adopted. EALTIMIORE, May 14.--A correspond- ent of the American who accompanied members of the Legislature to Harper's Ferry says that the Virginians are strong- ly fortified on the Maryland heights overlooking Harper'. Ferry and are very confidant and evidently have no inten- tion of evacuating their position. Ott Sunday 7,000 stand of arms, minie muskets and twelve cannon arrived— twenty more were expected the same night. Bitter feelings prevailed in Washington co., against the Virginians and a coll'eion was considered probable. Ross Winans was cordially received by the Virginians. Tho Legislature bas adjoured till the 4th of June. WASHINGTON, May I4.—The Secre- tary of the Treasury has just issued a circular to•all collectors, surveyors and other officers of customs, precisely similar to that recently addressed to those on northern and northwestern waters, relative to commerce with in- surrectionary states, with the following additions: "A'mong prohibited sup- plies are coal, telegraph instruments, wire, porous cups. platinas, zines and other telegraphic material." It ie satisfactorily ascertained that the whole number of troops in Vir- ginia does not exceed 30.000. The ultimate direction of troops now here and daily arriving, is a mat- ter of conjecture, the administration keeping its secreta. Among other vigorous measures determined on, is the construction of fifty gun boats, by contract, for opera- tions in shallow watefferrs. A Montreal firrn os to take a mill- ion Treasury notes at par. The World's Washington correspon- dent telegraphs that an attempt was discovered to poison members of the New York 12th regiment; several are now ill. It appears that some sugar was used which contained cranio. Gen. Butler has ordered thb ons -posts of Col. Jones' camp at the Relay House, to be extended this afternoon ten miles towards Harper'. Ferry.— They will act in conjunction with an .advancing force from Chambersburg, whose opperatione will be ogainst Har - per's Ferry. The advanced outposts are also intended to cut off the flying rebels from Baltimore, wbo, it is sup- posed, have attempted to escape from Gen. Butler's forces: Ten thousand troops under Oolonel Jones entered the city this evening. This movement was Those people who have Left such piles, all over this continent indicating their greatness, but passed away leav- ing only these marks as a remembrance of them are not our only Mound Builder.. Nor yet is he wbo planned the tower on Bunker Hill, or the Mon- ument at Washingtoc. The architects of the pyramids and the ephynx are but the prototypes of a class that have inhabited the world ever since. There is none of no but what desire to give our names to posterity—many however only craving a humble niche in the temple of fame, but neverthee less, the desire is inherent; various as are our pursuits and mnch as the tooth of time may gnaw at our feeble piles, all of us perhaps build monu- ments that endure longer than the shortened lapse of a lifetime. That man who builds a granite tow its the city, may only look to the per- sonal emoluments that aro to accrue to him, but selfish as may be his motives he has built a monument to his mem- ory which will retain his name and perpetuate his memory long after the collie is his narrow home, and the winding sheet his only covering.— That man in the rural district who planta a hedge, or cultivates a grove sete up land marks of himself that will cling to him as long as the earth has vegetative powers. In some in- stances where the entire work has been obliterated by the rerentless finger of time, the name of the designer still lingers. Abundant evidences of this aro present in the minds of the reader now. Where that old mill stood, al- thongh every stick of timber is gone, and every vestige of the dam is re- moved from the river, still it hears the name of the designer, and may con- tinuo to, fur five generations. Who does not recollect that grassy knoll, where the weeds grow ranker and the tangled ivy still disputes the sway of the plow, an the situ of the old house, still dietinguiehed by the name of the build - der. The old recollects them as they were when they were erected, while the yonng have surrounded them with all the decorations that their imagina- tions could give to the descriptions their sires gave, From that pile of ruins rises the castle of the past, even more majestic, more tastefully decora- ted than it wee in its pristine glory. -- These are monuments, and although Its beauty and vigor long after all things not having recuperative life to renew its beauty shall have passed away. Then let us build monuments. Tho Pennsylvania Legislatnre, on the 9.h, nnanimously passed the bill creating a three million loan, and pro- viding for fifteen regiments beyond both requirements of the Federal Gov- ernment—a total of fifty-five regi - meets. --The Collector of the port of St Louis has received orders from Secretary Chase to examine the mani- fests of all steamers bound South, and compare them with the cargoes, anti if arms, munitions, provisions, or other supplies, aro found aboard, the vessel and cargo must be confiscated, and the owners arrested for treason. Ship menta South have been suspended.— A conference was held at Frankfort, Ky., on the 9th, between Gov. ➢Iagof- fin, J. C. Breckinridge and R. Hawes, of one part, and Ex -Senator Critten don, Dixon and Judge Nicholas, of the other, who agreed to recommend to Legislature to make an appropriation to arm Kentucky, under the direction of a military commission composed of the Governor and inspector General, and another person to be selected try the Uuioniets. It is supposed 3,000,- 000 will be required to arm the State. All trainsjover the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, are strictly searched by the Federal troops, now stationed at the Relay House, under command of Gen. Bntler. A similar process is applied by Virginia forces at Harpers Ferry. —Advices at the Treasury Department announce a concerted movement among financiers in Philadelphia, New York and Boston, to take the ei5,000,000 loan at par.—Fort Monroe was rein- forced by several Massachusetts com- panies. transported from Boston by the steamer Oambridgo.--Ten thousand more troops are expected at Washing- ton by May 14th. --It is reported at Springfield, Illinois, that the Indiana troops will be ordered to join those of Illinois, at Cairo, and that additional batteries of heavy guns will be located there.—The Ohio Troops will protect Cincinnati and the western -portion, of Virginia.-- A. H. Stephens was at Montgomery May 1 --probably reliev- ing Davis for military operations in Virginia.—There are 870'regular hoops in Fort Pickens, and 400 of them are first rate artillerists. THE KENTUCKY CAPITAL ?0E THS UNION.—'The Stars and Stripes wore raised from the top of the Kentucky State House at Frankfort on Wading - da, May 1, amid the plaudits of a large and enthusiastic crowd. Patriotic speeches were made by Leslie Coombs, John L Scott and R. T. Jacob. The Commonwealth says: "Secession hangs its head in this region of the State, while the Union sentiment is gaining ground every day. Frankfort is Union to the core• made in consequence of reports that another attempt was being made to re- vive the mob spirit in that city, and prevent the passage of troops and de- stroy the railroads. A Wuatch taat the Presidenthington and dBispuit took sa tourtesthof inspection down the Potomao yester- day. The Tittle's Washington dispatch says there ate now within this city, or within eight of the capital, about 31,- 000 men. Gen. Butler dined in Bal- tidfore to day; no attempt was made to annoy, and every attention was ex, tefided both to himself and his staff. A special dispatch to the Post. Saye that no change will be made in the command of the fleet off Pensocola.— It is regarded as not improbable that federal forces will march from Wheel- ing to Martinsburg, Va., and take Harper's Ferry in the rear. A special dispatch to the Express, says that orders have gone from the War Department directing Gen. Wool to assume the command of Fort Mons roe. WASEINQTON, May, 13. --The Navy Department expects the ports of Charleston, Savannah, and the mouth of Mississippi to bo blockaded in the course of the week. Government con- templates the erection of earth works at regular intervals along the Railroad lines leading from the North through Maryland. Preliminary surveys aro now making. The capital is now sur- rounded by encampments controlling all roads to Virginia and Maryland.— Capt. Pope, of the Topographical En• gineers, who ; mustered the Illinois troops into service, is horn. The state authorities are anxious to secure his services as General Commanding the Volunteer forces, bra could not ob tain the consent of the War Depart. ment, whose rule, not to detach any officers from the regular army, in view of the formation of new regiments, will not be deviated from. Capt. Pope says Cairo is perfectly safe, and the report of an impending attack by the rebel troops without foundation. The Pawnee is now anchored at the main wharf of Alexandria, with Iter guns loaded and run out of port holes. She crossed to stop interference with the free navigation of the Potomac, which has been attempted several times within the last few days by the rebel garrison of the town. Her ap• pearance produced quite a panic among the secessionists. ST. Louts, May 12.—This city has seen another terrible tragedy. Last night about six o'clock a large body of the home guard entered the city through Stn street from the arsenal, where they had been enlisted during the day and furnished with arms. On reaching Walnut street the troops turned west- ward; a large crowd lining the pave. menta to witness their progress. At the corner of 5th street parties in the crowd began hooting, hissing and otherwise abusing the companies as they passe 1. A boy about 14 yens, of age discharged a pistol into the ranks, when part of tho roar o,.mpony immediately turned and fired upon the crown. The whole column was in. scantly in confusion, breaking their ranks and discharging their muskets down their their own line and among the people on the side walks. The shower of balls for a few minutes was terrible. The bullets flying in every direction;- entering eloore, windows, private residences, breaking shutters, tearing railings,. and even smashing bricks. The inmost confusion and coneter. nation prevailed; the spectators flying in all directions. Scores of people must have been killed. The troops Buffered severely; four of their number being instantly" killed and several wounded. The house of Mr. Matthews received three bullets One of his daughters was struck with a spent ball. Only one of the soldiers, John Dick, a German, has been re.•ognized, Gen. Frost and his officers,secoaaion militia, taken prisionera at camp Jack- son by U. S. troops, gave their parole under protest, and his men were al lowed to avail themselves of the same when taking oath not to bear arms against the United States. tV The Government hike captured the famous Winan's Steam gun, which was calculated to do such fearful work on the Government troops by the traitors. It was seized while on its way to Hai'peti's Ferry, where it was ex• pected to make it efficacious. The tables are turned, and whatever de- structive powers the machine has are on our side.

The troops are distributed in camps as follows: -- At Camp Jackson, Columbus, 5,000; at Camp Taylor, Cleveland, 4,500; at Camp Dennison, sixteen miles from Cincinnati, 2,500; and at Camp Har- rison, six miles northeast of Cincin- nati, is a small encampment of 1,000; making a total of 13,000. There aro also 2.000 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which were sent east when `Washing. ton was in its greatest danger. In ad- dition to this force, it is proposed that the State put 15,000 men into camp and hold them sul-ject to a requsition from the President, when the necessites of the service requires them.

The gallant men are remembered and will receive a testimonial of a fitting charaeter in a few days. Although tardy onr citizens are not without that generosity that should distinguished a people for those who peril their lives for the perpetuity of the government: HEAD QUARTERS HASTINGS VOLS. FoRT SNELLING May lith, 1861. At a dinner given to the Hastings Volunteers by the ladies of Minneapo- lis and Burchnoe Prairie, the following preamble and resolutions were unan- imously adopted: `'VHEREAa, The noble and patriotic ladies of Minneapolis and Burchnoe Prairie. have by their generosity and profuse liberality in supplying our com• patsy with many of the -luxuries of life, endeared themselves to our hearts as friends and lovers of our glorious Union. THEREFORE BR IT REROLVED, That this disinterested mark of their kind. nese, confidence, and esteem, is doubly dear to our hearts, coining as it does from stranger hands, and that we, al- thongh seemingly forgotten and neg- lected by onr fellow -townsmen, can fully appreciate their kind remember- ance of our devotion to the Stars and Stripes, and that we, on the field of conflict will not render ourselves un- worthy of such confidence. RESOLVED, That we tender our heartfelt acknowledgement to the ladies of Minneapolis and Bnchnoo Prairie, and commend their example as worthy of all itnitation and justly entitle them to the name—decenlents of rho Revo lutionary Mothers. ENLARGING THE LEVEE.—We notice that again a considerable force of nien aro engaged enlarging the levee. In another year we shall probably have a levee extending across three squares. The present space is often found too small to accommodate the transporta• tion business of the city. FINE HuusE.—Dr. Thorne has com- menced the erection of perhaps the finest house ever erected in this city.— The walls are to he of cut stone, and it is to bo finished up in the No t ar- tistic manner. 1t will be erected in one of the tnost beautiful localities in the city, and will be cnnspicnous from the river. The view from the house will be a grand one. FIRE.—Last week the barn of Mr. Verrill, in Lebanon, this county, was destroyed by fire, consuming a consid- erable amount of his property. We ere not informed as to laow the fire originated. Irdlr The 'Musical Union" meets every 'Tuesday evening at the Univers city building. 'I'lte exercises artre said to be ot an entertaining character. BANK OF HASTINGS. FOLLETT & RENICK, Bankers and Exchange Brokers, HASTINGS, MINNESOTA.

He repor,s the Southern mind as intensely excited, and seems to think that the people there will never bo satisfied until they have traitorously tried their nuns against the government. A large ci, cle of ad:uiring friends welcome Mr. Traver back. BEcautrs,—Adjutant Leach, has opened an office in this city where vol• nnteers for the war can he onrolle 1. The office is on Ramsey street, form- erly occupied by F. M. Crosby as a hw office. A RELICT.—Wm. G. Le Duc, of this city, has in his possession a sword Which was carried by his ancesters in all the wars this country has ever en- gaged in, except the Mexican. It is not much of a weapon, but how the associations of the past cluster round it. If that piece of rusted steel could talk, of what scenes of blood, famine, and conflagration could it tell. SOLDIERS FOR THE WAR —Our readers will notice that Col. Gorman advertises in this paper for a number of men to fill up the ranks with sol- diers for three years' service or daring the war. Some of the three months men are not prepared to enlist during war. Here is a chance for those pat- riotic citizens that are anxious to be foremost in the fight.

At the appointed hour the spacious room was crowded by children and adults, though the children predomi- nated, and their smiling faces was re- ward enough. even if we were to leave out the intellectual treat of music, and various areechee that were delivered.

It is a question of dollars and cente with them, and that is the great mainspring of action every vhere Wit'' a cur- rency as unsettled ae Wisconsin and Illinois they are liable to great losses, and no Irian likes to do business with such immense hazzards. Really we do not believe that there is a man in our whole acquaint n o who does not earnestly desire that this currency should be banished—a few like our neighbor of the Repullicl» take it and censure their neighbors, forgetting that in order to make auy remedy et- feetual they must first adopt it the►n- selves. All are affe led similarly by its circulation, and all must set their faces against it, mechanics and far- mers, as well as brokers and merchants, before the remedy can be effective—in fact it seems to us that tate farmers eau de more than any other clans towards accomplishing the end. Their wheat is a cash article—finds ready sale and is the article that will command specie paying currency. The demand must be made by them, or WO shall atilt continue to be cursed with a currency that needs doctoring every week or so, and is approaching dissolution as cer- tainly as the pian far gone with con- sumption. But this will involve an apparent loss in dollars and cents -9 fictitions currency of this kind is cheaper,in the market than that which is good dollar for dollar, in gold. There is no margin in the price of wheat between here and New York that will justify any such price as is now paid for wheat—the profit to the dealer CODAS in the shape of the exchange that he makes with' the cnrrency. If Eastern currency comes directly to the market wagon of the farme-, he moat expect to pay from 15 to 20 per cent for it. Having taken a hasty glance at the subject, we give as our candid opinion. that every branch of industry would be in a more prosperous condition, public and private credit would in- crease, and stability and confiden e be established. With all this against it why need we do our business with Wisconsin and Illinois cnrrency, mere - l1 because, a junta at Milwaukee and Chicago have said it? It may be for their interest—it certainly is not for ours. It is admitted that these bills represent nothing like the valve that they pretend to. The depreciation of stocks have left them without the ability to redeem, and the effort to give them currency is on per with the pol- icy of extending the credit of a hank rupt, in order that he may make his immediate friends Rafe. Again, as long as this currency is tolerated it takes the place of better, it is as bard to unite the bad with the good curren- cy as it is to mix oil and water.— There is no such thing as gradually withdrawing the worthless cnrr+ncy and supplanting it with better. 1f Wisconsin and Illinois currency is to be refused hero it must be done at once. Every moment of delay but adds to the obstacles which prevent such a re- enit. UNION SPIRIT IN THE BIRDER SLAVE ETtTEs.—A ieece contest is now going on in the border Slave States between the loyal slid treasonable citizens. In eeveral them the question of secession is to bo submitted to the people at the polls, which in our opinion is the boldest mockery, fur however the election is determined, the people return home to take up arms, to re -decide the question at the point of the bayonet, whatever may be the result of the election. The loyal citizen knows no duty to his State that threatens the perpetuity of the Gov - eminent, while the rapidly accumulating events of the day, give us a Iittle taste of the temper of the secessionists. In all these States, except Maryland, the authorities havo given no abundant eyi Bence that they are open secession sym— pathisers, and will spare uo efforts to plunge their respective States into the vortex of treason. The passage of the Scces-ion Ordinance in Virginia, was the signal for two Congressional districts in that State to convene a Convention, with a view to the organization of a new State, looking to mutual piotcetion, aria recognition by the General Government. Shcul< Iientucks have the temerity to follow the example of Virginia, like re- sults will follow—so likewise with Mir epuri and Tennessee. Besides this Union amen may occupy isolated positions all over those States. It is clear tont these localities and individuals must bear the brunt of the war, in view 'of which the North counot be too lavish in its aid in holding up their hands in this to thent unequal contest. But all literature is not to be condem- ned. We have that which is really val- uable, abounding in coruscations of wit, flowers of thought, and alines of Mors mation, we cannot give it all up but we must separate the dross from the gold.— Ttue literature is the natural food of the heart and brain, ennobling the mind and expanding its powers. Fuse literature feeds the passion,' and dwarfs the mind. Reading is fast becoming the channel of information, rind we ought to be care• tul that no filth darkens the current.— We must learn that rare alt of discrim- nation, and not condemn the fruit because poison lurks in the flower. Tho dispo- sition to do this is is becoming altogeth- er too prevalent, and the sooner this idea becomes obsolete the better. We could furnish abundant evidence to prove the fallacy of this position, both from the past, which the march of intelligence has wiped out, and the present, which the same cause is obliterating. Our literary works should be drawn from nature—so clear and transparent that the human heart can look down in it and see the reflection of all the better traits of human nature, and catching the inspiration, press on to higher and no- bler duties. That is the best book which your enlightened understanding tolls you is true and beautiful --because in its truth you entrench yourself, while with its beauty you add the decorations; their truth and beauty become a part of yourself. We world not forget science—we would build no wall between it and the people, because scientific knowledge, and moral, intellectual and physical develop- ment, are natural allies and hand -maid. ens of each other. Every family ought to have standard works on Geology, Botany, Chemistry and Atmospheric I5henomena. Armed with these the rocks, the plants and flow- ers, the earth and elements become your companions. With these as the magic• wrand, the granite rock finds a tongue, the rose and the myrtle waves a nod of intelligence, the winds whisper of health and prosperity, while the the elements thunder their loud response. What a field opens before its with these in our hands—but powerful as they are they roust be accotnpanied by careful observa- tion and intelligent thought. Books are but the tools, the brain must work. To read without reflection, is like storing a large number of tools to rot and rust for the want of use. Then let tis read the best books, and reading let us apply, engraft, and en • large, leaving nothing to decay or corode ou the brain. A SKIRMISH. On Sunday night a skirmish occurred between a government coast guard steamer and a party of rob els at the month of the potomac. The vessel got aground which the rebel see- ing an armed propeller was sent from Richmond for her capture. After a brisk contest the rebels were driven hack, not however, until several soldier were killed and five wounded. Th. loss of the traitors is not known. ORDER REIGNS IN BAL•rlll rte E,—What the city authoritios of Baltimore failed to accomplish the suppression of the mob spirit which almost the entire people of the loyal States unsuccessfully censured, has finally been rebuked and over -awed by the presence of a few resolute men determined on quelling the mob spirit, and restoring peace to unhappy Balti- more. The presence of Sherman's bat- tery and a detachment of troops with bullets in their rifles was the bulletin that did the work. The troops marched throuh the c'ty unmolested, not a 'dead rabit or shoulder -hitter' to be seen, nor an act of treason demonstrated. On the contrary the stars and stripes floated from the bui'dings, the ladies waved a grateful welcome to the city, and the march of the troops was followed by the plaudits of the people. Verrily a little cool determination, tempered with the elements of success, is a great humanizer. Let us hope that Baltimore will remain loyal. No MORE TROOPS FROM MINNESOTA. —1t will be recollected that Governor Ramsey tendered the President a Second Regiment from Minnesota to bo em• ployed in the Government service, since which an authoritative call has been looked for with no little interest as ma- ny have been anxious to enlist in such regiment. Thera now seems to be no prob- ability that such regiment will be accep• ted as recent telegraph dispatches inform U8 that the Government has decided to accept no more troops. A quarter of a million in all havo enlisted. EXCURSION TO FT. SNELLLING. On Thursday last, a large party of citizens of this place, ladies and gen. tlemen, paid a vieit to the soldiers at Fort Snelling, and particularly to the Volunteers from I•lastings, taking along an abundance of dainty viands, as well as substantial edibles, for the comfort of the "inkier man. Nor was this all, fair hands had been busy preparing articles of util ty during camp life, lunong which we noticed a quantity of towels and bags of miscellaneous articles, all of which were taken along. It ie to be regretted that the weather was stormy, as well as the division of the cpmpaoy a portion of whom went by land, while still another company went by the boat. Tile company that went by team etarted out early in the morn- ing, seventy strong. and although met by lowering skies and spits of rain, had, we are informed n pleasant trip to the Fort. Those that went by the boat, numbering about a hundred. left about two o'clock, the clouds having already given us a Lretase of the weather which for three days hung the heavens in black, and from which moisture flowed most copiously. The Hastings Brass Band accompanied the company on the boat and poured fort their enlivening strains during the trip. Arrived at the Fort those by the over- land route were ih time for a display of the military, a eight which the others were deprived of,there beiug no weath- er in which the soldiers could parade in, except at the peril of drenethed garments. On Friday a sumptuous table was spread on board the steamer Northern Light, prepared by the ladies of Hastings, and the Dakota Volunteers, tcgether with the officers of the regiment sat down to the repast, and had a merry and a hap- py time. The various oompanics are improving rapidly in the manual exercise, the quar• ters are as good as could be anticipated, and the number sick is very small.— The soldiers enlisted for three months, being discharged and gone home the ranks are rapidly filling up with volunteers for the war. Office's and men seemed delighted with the visit, and while they aro thankful to these who came with such a bounteous repast, ex• tend their greetings to those of their friends at home, who have not the op- portunities of visiting them. We can assure the gallant boys that they have a host of true friends here—those that know them, and expect them to do their duty, whatever walks in life they may be called to tread. A WORD TO PARTIZANS. It is with great regret that we no- tice a disposition on the part of quite a number of Republican presses of this State to keep up the political an- imosities of the past, in this our great struggle, when patriotism is the only test that should engage public atten- tion. It is a matter of grave inquiry whether the political organizations of the past will survive the struggle of the hour, but if they do it is enough to know that the common danger has made us allies in a common cause, and that no dividing or distracting dissen• tions should be indulged in to divert us from the great object—the restora- tion of the entire Union, complete. and unabridged by tht• loss of a sin• gle State. The St. Paul Prost, should have been in advance of the Pioneer in showing that its patriotism was supe- rior to its partizan feality, instead of floundering along. endeavoring to make Republlanism a distinguishing feature by which the loyalty of the citizen was to be determined. The Central Republican, at Faribanit has labored under the same misapprehen- sion, end various other papers have been likewise befogged. Bnt we think we have the key to all this devotion to party in the remarks of the Mankato Independent in its criticisms of the Pioneer at St. Pan!, and the .Record at Mankato for making loyalty tci, their country superior to loyalty to party, that unlocks the mystery and unfolds the secret for their peculiar views.— After quoting the old truism of what was the Democratic party that "it was held together by the cohesive force of public plunder," and signified that such course as has been recently pur• sned by the, what was formerely the Democratic press was dictated simply by desire to share the public patron • age, it unwittingly let the idea mani- fest itself that the same cohesive force was the one that now became its main- spring of actiun. We do not forget that all the papers mentioned above have tasted of public patronage. The tenacity with which the Democratic party stuck to its organization when principle after principle was ignored and repudiated tells ns something of the atimulas of such food, and we do not wonder that these papers kick at the least intimation that they are to be deprived of the teat. In times past we have been a Re• publican—uncompromising we may my, save when the immutible degrees of fate order otherwise, and were the as- pect of affairs to resolve bask to where we were six months ago, we should be the name earnest advocate of Republi- canism that we have heretofore been, not from s hope of the emoluments, but because the principles of the party, would be oar convictions of duty. The various political parties were the result of so many honest convic- tions of what ought to be the public policy under their existing circum- stances. A change in the premises would effect a like change in results. These changes havo taken place. The stability and perpetuity of the Gov- ernment is assailed, and until there is no loger a doubt here, all that we re- quire to make a man our political friend is for him to answer the ques- tion in the affirmative, by wcrd and deed, that he is for the perpetuity of the Government. To answer this question in the negative makes him our enemy. Our cotemporaries we hope will pardon us if e appear dictatoral— they are sten whom we havo been proud to labor with, but being of strong prejudices and snffrering many a bitterness in the past it is not won. derful that a little of the old rancour should still linger that has been driven in by many a bitter taunt. We make common cause for the Goverment—in view of the momen- tous consequences impending, let us bury all partizan strifes, and united as one people with a common destiny let us whatever may havo been our former p,ilitical predilections press forward for the perpetuity of the Gov- ernment. THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS. No President has ever entered upon the discharge of his duties under the embarrassing circumstances that atton ded Mr. • Lincoln. Seven powerful States in open rebellion to his author- ity, the people demoralized and refrac- tory, the public treasure squandered, and treason fatening in the National Capital, from the spoils of the Gov- ernment it sought to destroy. We say nothing of minor matters which might swell this article to volumes. Not three months have elapsed since his ineugeral was given to the people, and yet how rapidiey event has followed event in quick succession. A few of them are marked, and will occupy an important position in the history of the country. His inangerel was a firm and ems phatic exposition of his policy, strip- ped of ambiguity, and appealing to the good sense and common justice of his countrymen. It gave confidence to the desponding citizens, and awed while it percipitated the traitors in their acts of rebellion. It was inspi- ration to the patriot, while it was a knell to the hopes of secession. All felt its power though there was a vast difference in its interpretation. It was the first teal authoratative check that rebellion had received and as such is worthy of especial mention, but potent as it was it yet left the President with- ont the means of rebuke which the emergency demanded. These means the tratiors themselves wore to put in his hands. It was re- served for them to give their treason shape by the stroke on Fort Sumpter, to develop the mighty and united North as one man, which has since so profusely poured out her treasure, and with such unanimity profered men for the service of the Government. A treasury Itepleated for treasonable ob- jecte, has been filled to overflowing by the munificence of private citizens.— An army and navy dereoralised by the canker of treason has found a thousand recruits for every dastard that has turned his back upon bis country's flag. The camp fires of loyalty have been lighted throughout the entire North, treason bas been driven from the Na- tional Capital, and now the work of coercing the rebels into submission is comparatively easy. The battles which may follow will be the result of skill and overpowering numbers. It takes no seer to tell that these are with the North, and will be need for the perpe- tuity of the Government. The blockade is important in the succession of events, demonstrative of the course of foreign powers, and indicative that the rebels are neither to have aid or sympathy from European Governments. We know not upon what terms treaty stipulations tolerate a blockade, but we do know that so far as foreign powers are concerned there has been no protest, but on the part of England a disposition to make it more thorough by increasing the English fleet in African waters to sup- ply the deficiency created by the with- drawsl of the United States ships, palled home for Government service. The last few months having been characterized with etch significant re. snits we are hopeful for the future.— The Government is vigorous in the prosecution of its plans, though no public impetuosity—no restiveness of of restraints, will induce action until they are perfected for operation. We may bear that a battle hae been fought to -morrow, and such a calamity may never occur. We have an administra- tion capable of perfecting its own plans, and it shown its wisdom in not making them known in advance. IMPORTANT LE f'TER Or SEC RETARY SEWARD. WASHINGTON, May 16. 1861. SIR: I have received your letter of yesterday's date, asking me to give you in writing my reasons for consid- ering an acceptance on your part of Gov. Letcher's proposition to pur- chase the steamships Yorktown and Jamesown recently sized by his or- ders and now in his possession, an act of treasion. With this request I readily comply. An insurrection has broken out in several Strtes of this Union, including Virginia. with the design to overthrow the Government of the United States. The Executive authorities of the State are parties to that insurrection, and so are public enemies. Their action in seizing or buying vessels to be employed in executing that decis ion, is not merely without authority of law, but is treason. It is treason for any person to give aid or comfort to public enemies. To sell vessels to them, which it is their purpose to use as ships of war, is to give them aid and comfort. To receive moneyefrom them in payment of vessels which they have seized for their purpose, would be to convert the unlawful seiz urn into a sale, and would subject the party offending to the paius and pen- a'ties of treason, and the Government would not hesitate to bring the offen- der to judgment. [Signed) WM. H. SEWARD. To G. HENNIKEN, Esq., Agent, N. Y. and Va. S. S. Co., 1Yasthington. THE LATEST NEWS. WARRINGTON, Mey 20.—There was a fight at Sewall's Point. between two United States vessels, the Star and Freeborn, and a rebel battery. It be ing the eighth and last work now in rebel hands defending approaches to Norfolk, is regarded as an important work against blockading James river, where there are now lying twenty pri zes taken with tobacco. The steamer Star commenced . on Saturday noon shelling the work, and was soon after ailed by the Freeborn, driving out the rebels. The Star then proceeded to Washington with despatches to Com- modore Sttingham. She captured two small vessels on Sunday near Cedar Point, one of them having fifty men bound for the rebel army. The Postmaster General has issued an order to cut off all steamships with mails on the coast; also all mails on the rebel Jteamors plying to seceeded Mater,. New YOItK May 21.—The Tribune says that yesterday the Government, by a bold stroke, obtained possession of most invaluable documentary evi- dence against syinpath zore with trea• sun in the North. At a given hour, officers of the law visited every eons siderable telegraph office in the free States, seizing manuscripts of des- patches for a year. 'jhe Government can now tra -e the secret operations of rebels and their aiders and abetters, and henceforth will hold Northern en eutiea of the Rej ublic at ite mercy. The Tribune correspondent (Wash- ington 20th) says: It is understood that General Butler has orders to rro- eeed at once to active movements into Virginia, and will directly put ob- structions in Norfolk harbor. Governor Letcher has met with a loss. He had made for his study ac- curate military neaps of Virginia.— These having been finished at Wash ington, were on their way to the Gov. ernor, when they were seized by order of the War Department. The adjourned meeting of the Wheeling Convention, on the 11th of June, will be attended by delegates from counties east of the mountains, and the Convention will be urged to declare the conduct of the authorities of Virginia unsurpations of 1 ower and the actors, rebels and traitors. In- stead of dividing the State, a policy will be proposed affirming a provis• ional government for the whole State, and an election will be proposed of a Governor and state officers. Four regiments will bo accepted from Michigan, instead. of three, on account of the favorable impression made by the one now here. HARPER'S FERRY, May 19.—Two thousand Mississippians arrived here to -day; two regiments arrived from Alabama yester lay. They are all a hard lot. The smallpox has broken ont among the troops here. A comprnv of cavolry left Harper's Ferry for Montgomery to prevent the Union men from voting on the 23d, as this is a strong Uuion district. The Home Guards of Fredrick have arrested a man who was netting fire to a tan -yard. The city is guarded by Union men, and Secsasionists are watched The Union men of tbia district will nominate an unconditional Union candidate for congress next Sat- urday. CHAMBRRSBURG, May 20.—A relia- ble Union mao- living in Maryland says he was at Harper's Ferry Friday night. He saw sixteen Indians in one squad but did not see any more. He says the small pox is known to exiet among the troops, bat to what extent is not known. He believes troops are being scattered over Bowley. Jefferson, London, Frederick and Clark counties to carry them for secession. Passen- gers this afternoon from Hagerstown say 1500 more secession troops are ex- pected at Williamsport to-night.— They were sent over the river for boards to construct tents, indicating the purpose of forming a regular en- campment. WAsgtiteret e, May 20.—The Post Office Department has discontinued THE WAY TO MAKE MONEY IS TO SAVE IT; The Way to Sore it, is to buy your steamboat mails on the Mississippi CA- O O river all the wayla from St. Louis to AT Tac New Orleans. AT THE PEOPLE'S NEW, CIIEAP, HAOERSTown, May 20.—Reports are to the effect that great dissatisfaction CASII t exists among the troops et Harper'e �s�o Ferry on account of the existence of several faetions. One favors the an- nexion of Virginia to the Confederate States; another, the unconditional seperate independence of Virginia; third, unconditional Union surrender. Both the last two classes refuse to take the oath of allegiance to the Confed- erate States. The people of Sharpe - burg thirteen miles southeast of the road to Harper's Ferry swear that no more soldiers of the Confederate army should pass through their town. MONTGOMERY, May 21.—Gov. Ellis telegraphs to President Davis, that North Carolina passed the ordinance of secession unanimously. NEW YORK, May 2[— The sloop "Time" with 150 kegs powder on board was seized in the North river to -day. WAsnINOTON, May In.—The an- nouncement of a new military depart- ment including Virginia, North Caro- line and Tennessee has added greatly to the war excitement. A further an- nouncement that that the command was assigned to Gen Butler, in no way diminished this feeling. Generals Scott Mansfield and Butler have been in con saltation with Mr. Cameron most of the day, The Massachusetts 5th and 8th regiments have received this P. M. to prepare for an instant start. A battery of II guns on Acgna Creek was discovered, u!so extensive earth works near ire month, Last night three Zouaves strayed from camp, and on arriving before Col. Lllsivorth's quarters this morning, one of them unwound from his body a se- cession flag, seventeen feet long, which they had hauled down from a pole at Alexandria. A person direct from Richmond, who saw Governor Letcher night be- fore last, reports the Governor to be very much frightened, and to havo said that be hoped and believed that there would be no fighting. It is believed that 10,000 governs roent troops are encamped on Arling- ton Heights. Secretary Cameron declined to ac- cept four Maryland regiments, offered by Gov. Hick , simply for the defense of that State and the District of Co- lumbia. The Governor has entirely mistaken the tenor of the Secretary's explanation, and if Marylanders enlist they trust enter the general service. A letter received here from the editor of a Memphis paper, formerly a resi- dent of Washington, sta•es that pro- visions are very scarce in that city; all buslnes is ruined, and that soldiers are not coming forward as rapidly as was anticipated. The War Department contemplates establishing shortly, two large cantou- menta, one at Gettysburg, Pa ; end the other in the neighborhood of New York.

CHAMBER0BURO, May 19th.—Judge Mason who was arrested yesterday was released to day and sent over the Ma• ryland line. It was known that he en- tertained secession sympathies but al- so believed that bis character was too high to condescend to be a spy. There was no authority for the Secretary of War to retain him. His discharge meets with approval among most ju- dicious residents. A deserter from Harper's Ferry named Stanley and origioaily from Ohio, arrived here and reports that there were but twelve pieces of cannon all told there on Thursday night.

VERMILLION STREET.—We notice that very great improvements are go- ing on on this street throughout its en- tire length. houses are being erected, others are being repared, fences built, gardens laid out and planted, and a general air of neatness prevades.— What a very great addition it would make to that street in three yeaas from now if its entire length was set out in rest trees. IMPROVEMENTS.—All over the city, houses aro syringing up like magic.— In all directions this work is going on. and we are often in our walks sur - p: iced to see residences where before had been but the vacant lot.

The election passed off quietly and a very light vote cast. There was no partizan feeling in the election. and the men elected as to former partizan predilectsons are three democrats and three republicans. \Ve think the Council elected a goal one. (attalN.—Large quantities of grain ate being daily bought twit shipped in this city. Wheat commands from seventy to seventy-five cents per bush- el. It is wonderful to the unitiateil to eeo the quantity of sacks that almost constantly line the levee.

A TERRIBLE COMBAT. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY AND MURDER AT CORUNNA, MICH. [Our readers will probably recollect a brief account we published a week or two since of and attempted murder at Corunna, Michigan, in which Mr. Wilcox, a former resident of this country. was the hero Mr. Wil,:ox send the following detailed account of the affair in a letter to his parents in this city. which will undoubtedly be read with interest:] CoRUNNA, April 28. 1861. DEAR PARENT6:—Iti your leiter which we remive.1 a few days since, von desire me to give you the particu- lars of an as.nit mad t upon me by a band of villains, with a view to rob- bery and murder. I would gladly excuse myself from this, were it not for my tlesire to gratify your reqsest, for it twinges my nerves and sends the hot blood rushing to my brain, to recount the circumstances of that fearful strug- gle. All the newspaper accounts of the affair which have come under my notice are more or less incorrect. Be ing unable at the time to impart infor nation or endure interrogation in re- spect to the matter, the accounta were made lip by evidences as they were found the day after, rather than by any knowledge which 1 rn> parted. It has been customary for us to get tip at any hour of night and go to the store, where the nature of the case seemed to demand it. We would not. of course, go for the amount of the trade, but for the same reason that you would get up in the night if your neig1.- bor was suffering, and neede I your 08. sistance. A man called at the house on the night of the Sth of April. between din hours of two an 1 three o'clock, who told me that Mr. Burns. living about six miles from here, had met with a bad accideitt—was bleeding very bad ly —was afraid he would bleed to death before he could get back. &c. Ile wanted to get smite articles fur him from the store that could not be pro cured elsewhere. I dressed myself and left for the store in company with the man. Ile was a well dressed and wsll.appearing 111011, and he converse:I eely and pleasantly on our way to the store. We entered the store to g,ther. and I pro1pede.1 to put tip the required nrtieles, when the door opened and a second man entered. I stopped to ascertain who and what he was, when No. 1 turned and aske I him it lie Niched the horse, and then remarked to me that the man came down with him, with a horse and buggy. After procuring what he wanted, he handed me a bank note of five dollars --said he hail no o mal ler money. I 71esitnted in my own mind whether 0, unlock the safe. But as there had nothing tianspired to arouse nty sus• picions in any paiticular manner, I concluded to open the safe and change the moiler. S o proceeding to the of- fice where the safe is eituated, I stop- ped before itand commenced unlocking The man who gave Inc the bill foll- owed leisurely after, and took up a po- sition just behind and about two and a half feet from nie. From that move I was satisfied that all %vas not light; but nevertheless I resolved to awit further developments, for there was a chance that he might be all right; nut withstanding my strong impressions to the contrary. • But what shall I do,was the question with mo then. I could have turned and (Adored the men to leave the store, but if they were villains, their chance for shooting me down wouldstill be good. I could have requested the inan to remain in the other end of the store while I changed the bill but if they were going' to "play shoot," they could fire from any part of the store. Or, I could have refused to open the safe and,ohange the money, but that would have been betraying fear, and' that above all thing I knew 1 must not do. At this juncture God sent the thought that saved my life. About 16 year,: ago, ono winter's evening, I sat in the old fashioned rocking -chair, in the house where Philo now lives, listening to an incident which father was rely ting to Mr. Edwards, then Superinten- dent of Public Instruction, about a man (at the time of the war of "sev• enty-Six," I think it was) who sat fa- cing the east while the sun was in the *est, and heard his enemy approach- ing stealthily from behind. Remain ing quiet and pretending not to notice, but keeping watcli'of his shadow, he soon saw the arm raised to strike, when, by a back -banded blow of his own sword, he cleaved his enemy's head. 1 had not thought of that story for years. It is cnrioua how things will flash across or into the tuind at times. This incident flashed across my mind and suggested the idea of watching the man's shadow, which 1 resolved to do and proceeded with my work, and it he made a movement resolved to get ahead of hitu. You are to bear in mind that Millis passed through nay mind in the space of a few seconds. But I could not get the man's shadow with the lamp standing by me. So remarking that I hadlore gotten the number on which I locked the safe, I turned around and exam - :hied a paper containing some fignres, (7- 111111111111 A FAMILY JOURNAL DEVOTED TO STATE INTERESTS4 POLITICS, NEWS, AGRICULTURE AND AMUSEMENT. VOL. 4. which lay on a desk juet behind where the man stood. Then remarking that I had found the number, I left the lamp on the desk and tnrned around and kneeled before the safe and opened the demo I took from the drawer some bills, keeping at the same time Inc eye on the man's shadow, which lay broad and plain on the white wall before me. At this juncture I saw the shadow of his arm rise. I remained quiet, fumbled the bills and watched the shadow of the arm; it entered his son and draw a revolver therefrom. You can imagine my position at that instant. Before me was the "hand- writing on the wall," which seemed to seal my doom It was plainer than that upon the wall of the haughty monarch's palace, for it needed no its terpretation. But now was the time for me to carry out my policy of "get- ting in ahead of Mtn." I sprang to my feet and timed and knocked him down so quick that I think he must have fallen about ha) seconds befire I struck him. He fired as be fell. I threw the pistol up with my left arm, ami the ball (as afterward ascertained) entered the crown ef my hat in front, and grazing the top of my head slight ly, paesel out the other side of my hat and lodged in a large volume of law reports which stood on the top of a book -case behind inc. Just the eighth of an inch lower, and "Aged twenty- three years, three months and seven days," would bays been engravon on my tombstone. While the villain was endeavoring to get on his feet again, I turned. slammed to the door of the safe and !tuned the key. (Remember, that to lock the safe whet ready is but the work of an instant, but to unlock it takes over a minute, and no one can do it %vim does not know the number on which it was locked.) While this was going on, the second man of whom I have mpoken passed through the store to the bel door and unfas, trued it, letting in two other men who ha 1 been stationed there. The man whom I 11,01 knocked down had le - gained his feet and rushed upon Inc with his revolver. Firing a second time. I threw his arm up and the ball passed through the rim of my hat on the left side, and lodged near the before mentioned book ca -e. 1 knocked hitn down 1 bofore, with my fitst, and I was at the same instaht myself knocked down liy a slung -shot flora another of the villeins, he having first attempt- ed to shoot me. I fell almost directly on top of the luau I had stru.k down before me. He grasped nie around the neck with one arin and by the col- lar of my coat and vest, taking in my neckerchief and shirt with the other, he hound me close to hint and called out, "dirk him, God d --n him." I sprang front that unwelcome ern brace, leaviug my neckerchief, shirt and uu• der shirt, half of in y coat and half of illy vest in the assassin's grasp.— Watding the diik, tuy left arm took the blade, and the fellow fell. A pis- tol was next filed in my face, the ball escaping Inc, but the powder so burnt toy eye a that they have not yet fully recovered. The light was now by some means extinguished, the firing ceased. They wet e afraid of shooting one another. What now followed I cannot tell you—it is all blind to Inc. I only know that there was fighting, tearful fighting. I forced myself to a counter where I knew lay an iron bar: and succeeded in possessing myself of it. Then it was that in my heart I felt a cense of relief --I had get a weapon. Still the assassins seemed determined to accomplish their hellish purpose. But I was" not afraid of their daggers, as they could not get near enough to me to use them. My iron bar interfered with their calcula- tions in an especial manner. You may wonder why some of them did not get struck lifeless, but you aro to remember that all was total darkness, and I aimed at forms as the broken fragments of every upright ob- ject in the store will attest. They were very expert in warding from their heads. I advanced upon thern; they/ retreating towards the door bsckwards, and defending themselves as they went. Their slung shots. avotild Whiz by my ears, and very often bit me in the breast, staggering me back for an in- stant, but only two of them took effect on my head, at the time, and they, in a slanting manner, which only laid' the scalp open. Those, slang shots are terrible things. If you have Bever seen one, take the pains to examine one. I now struck one of them to the Hoer, and he was unable to regain his feet. Two of the desperadoes caught him and fled—the fourth man joining in the retreat, after endeavoring to give Inc a final shot. Following on in the daikness, which was rendered horrible dark by the almost total blindness ot wy eyes, I overtook him on the com- mon, about forty rods back of the atore, and just on the heels of the oth- ers. He was the hindmost of the par- ty, and I struck hint to the groind.— Ile lay quivering, and I jumped upon HASTINGS, M1NNESOTA, MAY 30, 1861. •• X to pieces by a single blow with that heavy bar, but I felt that he was my prisoner and in my power, and I could not command the nem() to deal the death blow—blame nae you will, bnt I could not do it. While imploring me to take all he had, but spare his life, he took from the pocket of his vest with his hand, (which he twisted round so as to reach it) a roll of pa- per, which I felt of with my left hand before it farely left his pocket, to be runisfied it was no weapon. He said it was money, and begged me to take it. I took it and thrust it with my left hand into the pocket of my pants, still holding the iron bar poised over his head. In the meantime I had called with all my Might for aid. I heard a sound of treading, as it seemed, and tnrned my head just in time to receive a blow upon my forehead, with what I do not know. I only know that I rolled.— The murderers had retuned under the cover of the darkness to rescue their man. They were no doubt afraid if they did not rescue him, he would be the means of detecting them all. The instant I fell from the man they ea -tight hie' (I saw but two) and fled. Fear- ing they would despatch me, I sunt• monod nerve enough to get my feet, but a total blindness came over me and I fell. From that time I saw nothing, heard nothing, knew nothing, until I found myself next dey in a bed with the physicians by the bed -side. * * * * * When I awoke from that dreamy state of uuconscioneness, in which I lay for eight hours, I thanked the good God diet my life was spared, but I thanked him first that my wounds were all in front. I have written you this somewhat lengthy account because you desired it, and I am happy to be able to do it. Now I am very tired and my hand pains me very much aro' I mnst close. Very truly yours in truth, 110:4ER WILCOX. - - DOUGLAS ON THE WAR. The prompt support given to the Go%ernment by Mr. Douglas is worthy of all commendation. He addressed the Legislature at Springfield upon the present dangers concluding as follows: I have struggled almost against hope to avett the calamities of war ate; to effect a union and reconciliation with our brethren of the South. I yet hope it map be done, but I 8111 110t able to point out to you how it may be. Nothing short of Providence can reveal to us the issue of this great struggle. Bloody--calamttons, I fear it will be. May we so conduct it if a collision must come, that we may stand justified in the eyes of Him who knows our hearts, and will judge our every act. We must not yield to resent- ments, nor to the spirit of vengeance, much less to the desire for conquest or ambition. I see no path of ambition open in a bloody struggle for triumph over my countrymen. Them is no path of ambition open for me in a divided country, after having so long served a glorious and united conntry. Bence, whatever wo may do, must be the result of duty, of convietion; of patriotic duty—the duty we owe to ourselves to our posterity, and to the friends of constitutional liberty and self-government throughout the world. [Loud applause My friends, I can say no more. To discuss these topes is the most pain- ful dnty of my life. It is with a sad heart—a grief I have never before ex- perienced, that I have to contemplate this fearful struggle; but I believe in my conscience that it is a duty we owe to ourselves, and our children and our God, to protect this govern- ment end that flag from every assail ant, be he who he may.

It needs no protnulgation of wrongs inflicted on Northern citizens while in the discharge of peace- ful pursuits in Southern States to make every man in the North compreheud the position of the contest. It can be understood only as a widespread re- bellion aiming at the Government it- self. It requires no recital of private wrongs to arouse the patriotism of the American people to the defense of Constitutional Liberty. In fact were such the case the strong arm of the pat- riot would bo withered in a war of re- venge instead of being made strong in a contest for principle. So far as these outrages are concerned they must be corrected, but the remedy lies in the Legislative, Judiciary and- Executive Department of the State where corn- mitted, and Constitutional Liberty de- mander that these shall be purged until treason no longer despoils freemen of their rights. Frequent as hate been the outrages —burthened as has been the press w th their recitals, and much as the blood a snbstancial currency—a currency may have been stirred with their read- which will tint involve sneli immense ing, it is not this which has caused the hazzards, and commercial ruin.

'There the secessionists have been in considerable force, and a se- cession flag was ffs ing from a Hotel. This the Colonel assumed to haul down, and while in the act was shot by a deperado, whose life paid the penalty of the desperate deed. Col. Ellsworth was a Chicago man, possessed of ability, he had won for himself a large cirele of friends in that city, but accompanying President Lincoln to Washington, he early be- came an irnportent actor in the stir- ring events which have since trans pired. IIe was appointed to the com- mand of a Regiment of Fire Zonaves from New York city, at whose hand THE CURRENCY A( 'AIN. On Thursday last a very wide spread panic in regard to Illidois and Wisr consin Currency pteVAiled, which has continued with more or lees intensity up to the present writing. Wheat took a 'rapid decline to sixty cents per bushel, and general consternation pre- vailed. The, value of gold as a cir• culating medium was never more for- cibly impressed, and the desire to pay debts and purchase goods with the rag - currency was never stronger. In fact in the last few days a very great stride has been made towards repudiating the entire batch of irresponsible and irredeemable issues. It would be a great blessing if this was the end of all such rooten institutions, but we fear that the nurses will again be called around, that plasters and blisters will be applied, and the sinking banking institutions will again attain a feeble ekistenco, only to make the downfall more disastrous. There is but ono course to pursne for the material prosperity of the pec- ple—bnt ono way to reduce the rates of exchange between the producer and the consumer, and that is to resolte not to tou,h a cent of the depreciated currency, either at its face, or at a dis- count and rigidly adhere to it. Tho scaling of ,this currency in Chicago and Milwaukee, and fixing a value be- low what it represents, is the strongest evidence of its weakness, and is only resorted to give time to prepare for the crash that most come. Refuse it at its face—refuse it at n discount— talk, write, and act against it and it will not be long before you will have e telegraph brings the announce- ment that Col. Ellsworth before whom such a brilliant future was opening has or overturn the hoarded treasure of years iu its support.

The Government— for this we fight, believing that this contest will not.only establish its se- premacy but give it the mems to cor- rect these evils. The man who goes into this fight stung by taunts, indignities or wrongs of a personal character fails to Appre- ciate the sublimity and majesty of the cause. To enter it as an exponent of anti -slavery ideas is equally erroneous, for in either case the prejudices and passions are appealed to instead of the calm. considerate and deliberate detor- mination to s'lstain the Government— he was at the time of Ilia death, and for the innumerable blessings it is to among whom he had enlisted the harm friendship that ever follows a brave and intelligent man.

It is this which enobles the cause, and distin• guishes it in the eyes of the enlighten- ed beholder, whether in Europe or America. Inside the Union, by the power of the Government, in the justi,e and majesty of law must these outrages be corrected. Tu attempt any other rem- edy is to abjure justice, and lose sight of the moral sublimity and grandure of the subject, and to sink into the de -1 strnetive element of mob violence. Then let no man who gives his sup- port to the Government be actuated by' any such groveling motives.

'I'nE REMAINS OF WASI11NOTON.— I'he telegraph contained the announcement a few days ago that the rentaine of Washington had been- removed from their resting place at Mount Vernon. , Whatever may be said of the DIAR from whoin the ladies of America pltr- chased Mount Vernon, except the tomb and an acre of ground surrounding it, we are not prepared to believe that he would disturb them in that qniet re- pose that a united people consigned them to, and watered ever since wait the tearb of his grateful countrymen No,'no; it is not in the human heart to unearth the bcnes of the honored dead and make them weapons in these troublous and distracted tinges.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. , One of the most heart rending oc- currences it has ever been our painfni duty to record transpired in this city on Friday morning last.

ENGLAND ON TUE BLOCKADE.— (sl leen Victera,peel noble woman as she is has done just as every ono ex- pected elle would, issued a proclama- tion in which she promulgates that in this contest of the United States against rebel citizens, her subjects are to remain neutral; and that if any of them. shall engage in priratecring they shall be subject to the penalties pres- cribed by the [mired States Govern- ?neut. This places England' on' the record right, and wo await for the de- velopements from France, annottecitg similar action, and from threentii'e civ- ilized world, cwroboratin; the good sense of these two powers. This is an indication of how the rebels are to be treated and the sympathy they are to expect from the enlig-htened powers of the world.

VERMILLION STREET. Mn. Entree:—In glancing over your last issne I notice a reference to tho improvement of Vermillion street by planting shade trees. It will strike any one who has ridden over that street from the Mississippi to Vermill- ion bridge, that a more useful, if not a more ornamental improvement might be made in the street itself. A grade should certainly be established by the proper authorities, so that those who are building upon the street can con• struct their buildings with reference to the grade. Since it is evident from the amount of travel that the grading of the street will be a necessity.' In some portions of the street only a part wide enough for the passage of a sin- gle team bac been entirely' retdaimed from the wilderness, and in other por- tions deep mudholee dbstrtict and de- lay the travel. In calling yolir ;attention to the con- rlition of this important street, and the obvious necessity of its immediate im• protement, I do it without the slight- est intention t t expectation of seeing inaugerated in these times a system of foolish or reckleea extravagance in street improvement, but simply for the purpose of the establishment of a grade line by the authority of the city council, and the hope that the people on the street will at once Commence the improvement. VERMILLION. THE ARMs —The United States Government has succeeded in monop olizing all the arms manufactured in England by tho manufactories that are permitted to manufactnre for .foreign powers for the next three months.— We cannot but admire the master p.1 - icy that di,tingnish every act of the Government. SENATOR DOUGLAS.—This great Statesman—we most acknowledge him great, and patriotic too—was at last accounts lying at the point of death. Fears are entertained that lie will not recover. Let ue hope that he will again be restored to his country, and with renewed vigor continue to exhort his countrymen to stand by the Stars an 1 Stripes and Constitutional Liberty. FROM BALTlMtona.—It seems that Baltimore is but a slumbering volcano ready to vomit forth secession at al- most any moment. Tho Government is informed that some of those in that city who wcro louden in their profess ions of loyalty during the presence of Government forces, are at heart se- cessionists, and arty secretly plotting treason. Their names and accurate information of their inov'enVente are in the hands of the Administration. MAGNIFICENTLY BEAUTIFUL —The soldiers on their march to Alexandria, took up the Railroad iron, and tore down the telegraph wires as they pro- gressed in their victorious march, but what was so grandly beautiful—so full of meaning, and so thrilling to the heart of the patriot, was the reply which the advance guard was instrncts to give iu case they were• challenged by the rebels—"The Advance Guard of the Grand Army of the United States." The army of the United, and that means the nation not even exclu- ding those States who so basely have taken up arms against the authority of the Government. That reply it seems to us aught to make treason tremble, while it is the hope of the loyal citizen everywhere.

This is unquess tionably the true resource of superior physical condition. On thie plan the coining war between the north and south will surely be contested; and in part evidence thereof, I will merely point to the fact that the government has already taken away the little cost- ly breech loading toys which the rntio nificence of New York put in the hands of Col. Ells eorth's regiment, and served out to them the spear, in tbo ah ipe of a sabre on the end of a Minis musket, and may Heaven help those nnder the edge of whose bayo. nets these "pet lambs" shall succeed in getting. There will be some strange fighting, in which, if possible, even "butting" and wreatling and thrott- ling may form a part; but, after a short turmoil, the result will be a heap of slain and a flying remnant, each of whom will probably render his verdict of the struggle in the exclamation that "those fellows are not gentlemen!' The sabre bayonet is also to be distrib rated throughout the entire army, and I feel certain, from what I have pate ered through military men, that the actual embrace of battle, man to man, is what the northern captains of this war intend mostly to rely upon."

I was let up finally, when a power- ful lags secesher came up and embra- eed me, and to show that he had no hard feelins agin me, put his nose in- to my month. I returned the com- pliment by placing my stummick sud- denly agin his right foot, when he kindly made a spittoon of his able bodied face. Actooated by a desire to see whether the secesher had been vex- inated, I then fastened my teeth onto his left coat sleeve and tore it to the shoulder. We then vilently bunted our heads together for a few minits, danced around a little and eat down in a mud puddle. We riz to our feet again & by a sudden dr adroit move ment I placed my left eye agin the secesher's fist. We then rushed into each other's arms and fell under a too hose waggon. I was very much ex- hausted and didn't care about getting up again, but the man said he reckoned l'd better, and I conclooded I would.

A republic dare not foster ignorance.— While it is optional under our •law whether parents send their children, it is obligatory npon the trustees to es- tablish the school. In Massachusetts, to protect the State from barbarism, a fine of twenty dollars is imposed upon every. person having under his control a child, who does ndt send said child to the public school in his town at least twelve weeks in the year. Minnesota cannot afford to neglect the education of her children. who will too soon oc- cupy. the plains of their fathers. fiance the necessity laid upon the trusteee to establish a three months' school in each subedistriet: Q. Can five milli; over and above the two and a half mills on the dollar raised by the County, be raised by a school district? A. No. Only two and a half mills in addition to that raised by the Coun ty. Q. 17 When sub -district officers do not qualify, what shall be done? A. A special meeting may bo heii for the election of officers to fill their places. Seo section 43. Q. 18 If the district treasurer does: not qualify, what ie to bo done? A. Any neglect to give honda vas cates the office. See scetion 31. Q. 19. Owing to ignorance of the law, the officers of a sub district failed to file their oath of office. Is a re. election necessary? A. No. If within a reasonable time they now file their oath, their proceedings will be valid. Q. 20. Will the State Superinten- dent issue a license to teachers? A. The law does not authorize hi m. Q. 21. Can a district, if they desire net under the old law! A. No. The old Jaw is repealed and has no forte? Q. 22. Can money in the County Treasury belonging to an old school district, be used or drawn for the ben- efit of the district to which it wee ex- clusively apportioned? A. The law says that all moneys to the credit of old school districts now sub -districts, shall be paid over to the hub -districts to be applied to their in dobtedness. See section 42, Q. 23. Are the school books se- lected for the State by the Norma! Board of Instruction, obligatory and binding? • A. They are. They are to. be ease'. by every teacher, and it is the duty of the superintendent of every district to see that the law is enforced. In no other way can parents be saved the ex pence incident to a constant change ot text books, and uniformity is attained. EDWARD D. NEILL, Superintendent of Pub. Instruetiov. THE ENGLISH DIFFICULTY. WAS made? ANSWER. It will not. Q. 2. Will territory taken from a sub -district, be liable to pay its propor- tion of tbe debt of said sub -district, cre- ated previous to separation? A. It will. Q. 3. How shall the debts of n sub- district contracted before the new law cause in force be settled? A. Section 60th of the new school law, deelares the obligation of districts to settle past indebtedness, but the law fails to point out a mode of settlement. An eq‘ itable method would be for the the trustees of the sub -district, successors of the district under the old law, to call .special meeting in accordance with sections 45, 46, 47, for the purpose of levying a tax to cancel past indebtedness of the old school district, which, when levied, may be placed in the hands of the trustees of the district, who can proceed according to the provisMns of see. lath. Q. 4. When the trustees of four districts meet to form ic new sub district, is a majority of all the trustees voting to- gether necessary to form the district? A Section 5th of the law says that alteration of a sub-distriet must be by the concurrent action of the trustees of the several districts interested. Section 7th states further that a ma- jority of the trustees of each of the dis- tricts interested is necessary to effect an alteration. If:then a majority of the trustees of one district should oppose,the alteration could not be male. Q 5. Can a sub -district raise a tax of three hundred dollars for the purpose of building a school house, or erothey limited to ten mills on the dollar? A. They are limited to ten mills on the dollar. See section 27th. • Q. 6. Can trustees take land from an existing sub -district, when all the vo- ters of said sub district are opposed? A. Trustees cannot alter a sub -district except on petition. See section 7th. Q 7. Is it necessary for the trnstees of a school district to employ teachers and provide fuel for schools in each sub- district for three months, to entitle the district to its proportion of the public school money. A. Section 27th of the law says 'there shall be provided by the trustees in each year, at least three months' school in each sub district; and the amount nec- essary to defray the expense of school for that timeover and above the public mon- ey shall be levied upon the taxable reps erty of the district by the trustees" The State Resumes that it is the duty of each town, to provide at least three months' instruction for each person bee tween five and twenty-one within its limits. If it does not do so it cannot receive the gratuity from the State. See also section 4Ist. Q. 8. How shall a subsdistrict pro- cee1 that failed to elect its officers on the last Saturday of April? A. A special meeting mey be call- ed, in accordance with the provisions of auction 45. Q. P. Have the voters of a snbdia trict the right to levy a tax for the sup- port of a Ramo'? A. They have not. Q. 10. "How can a tax be levied if parts of other towns are annexed to school districts in the town where the tax is proposed to be raised? A. Section 5th of the new code says, "sub -districts constituted of parts of two or more districts shall be sub - districts of the district in which the school house is situated, or in which the public school shall be taught"— Therefore parts of other towns will be attached to that district in ivhich the school house is isitnated, and will form a part of said district for voting, taxa- tion, enumeration of children, distribu- tion of school money and all other pur- poses, as fully as though said sub -dis- trict was all in lnded within the twin in which the school home is situated. Q. 11 Can the County Auditor make an apportionment at any other time than in March and October? A. Not by law. Q. 12. is there anything in the law to prevent a superintendent teach- ing school? A. The duty of a superintendent is to examine teachers, visit each school in the district, and spend at least one day therein. itoroducing methods of management and instruction and clase sifying ti a schelars. To perform these duties, and at the same time be a teach- er in the district, seems incompatable. Q 13. Can the directors of a sub- district hire a teacher? . A. Under the law they cannot.— See section 15th. Q. 14. Explain the apparent dis- co pancy between section lltb and the 5th clause of section 4tith? A. Section 49th, sab-division 5th, says the legal voters of a sob -district may vote a tax to build, hire or pur- chase a school house, bnt section 11th says that the trustees of the district eball levy the tax voted by the sub. dsitriot.

We copy a Nike statement of the alleged rejection by England of our acceptance of the Eu ropean Code rgainst Privateering from the New York Herald of the 24th: 'WASHINGTON, May 23, 1861 .—is:• more aro flying about hero to the ef- fect that the Secretary of State re- ceived despatches to day from England . declaring that it was no longer in the power of her Majesty's government to accept the proposition of our admin- istration to recognize the code of the Congress at Paris, of 1856, denounc- ing privateering as piracy. England, we hear, alleges that this code was the act of all the great Powers of Europe, in Congress assembled, and that it is manifestly not in her power, as one of the signers to that compact, to except, at this late day, the tardy acquiescence of the United States." On the following clay, May 24, it was denied by telegraph that the State Department had received any such die patch, and the foregoing publication was denounced as made for mischiev- ous purposes, But our readers are =- titled to know what the exact publica- tion was. The first dispatch (23d) closed wick the following paragraph: "From all I can learn, the reeen interactions received by Lord Lyons enjoin upon him the utmost cautious and circumspection. It would seen. that her Majesty's ministers find them- aelvas in position of deep embarrass- ment.

It is said that the Eng- lish government is earnestly solicitous that Our Cabinet should not be too exacting in its demands, end that they will exercise all the forbearance which the circumstances require until they can see their way out of the serious do lemma in which they are enveloped And all they want, it is alleged, 18 en adequate supply of cotton, and they would be too happy to obtain this without being forcoed Mu taking aid. a either with the rebel States or the tiovernment.

From the time the shop first started to the present we believe that it has not been idle a day, -and the additions and improvements that are constantly being made prove that Mr. Morrell is a man of insurmounta- ble energy and capable of accomplish, ing his object. In all this he should be sustained, bicause by his productive industry lie is increasing the wealth of of the country, and contributing real advantages to the people. We have from time to time noticed the work turned out at this shop, and as far as we know it has given satisfaction.— lore recently ho has added to his busi- ness, that of the manufacture of reap• ors, which we hope may grow in im • portanco until he manufactures all the reapers used in this vicinity. We tope this for various reasons among which may be mentioned a few: The men employed increase the demand for the products of the soil, and other productive industry—the money is kept at home, and the overplus is •used for beautifying the place, taxed for the support of schools, the erection of public buildings, the construction of roads and bridges, and is at all times a fund in the hands of liberal and enterprising men, for all public improvenient. Again, it facilitates the communication of the man who uses a machine with his shop— he can make better trades by corning face to face ‘vith the manufacturer, and avoiis the profits that clings to the fingers of ev- e!), one that handles the article. It an article is broken it can be repaired with facility, the expense of patterns being avoided, and the time consumed in their manufacture. We are glad that Mr. M trrell has commenced the manufacture of reap- ers, for we must confess it was a source of great annoyance to us to see !inns dreds of thousands ef dollars leaving this State annually for the purchase of this article alone, and we hope that these needing such articles will give him such material encouragement this season as will enable hitn to put a large force on for the manufacture of reapers for another harvest. Farmers, business mon, mechanics, laborers, ev- erybody, look to your interest, and use your exertions to] give Mr. Mor roll the support that will bring about such results. tlf It is reported that two Regi- ments one from Virginia under Cul. Kelly, and the other from Indiana un- der Col. Crittenden, surprised a camp of two thousand rebels at Phillippi, Va , routing them, killing fifteen, and capturing a large lot of arms, horses, ammunition, provisions and camp equipage. Teey marched twen,y miles in the night through a drenching rain, before reaching the camp of the rebels. Tho rebels took to their heels, but the troops were after them in hot pursuit. Col. Kelly was killed in the action and several others wounded. THE FIELD OF OPERATION. Tho position of affairs aro rapidly culminating towards something decis sive. A largo number of Northern men aro under dri:I, and many of them in the immediate vicinity of where ac- tive service is expected. No back- ward step has bean taken, and to all appearances tho position of the Ad- ministration is an impregnable one.— The blockade controls the shipping from the mouth of the Chesapeake to the Rio Grande, while the histories of Pickens frown hpon a hostile foe at Pensacola. The force at Cairo com- mands the commerce of the Missiseip• while it is not at all improbable that it may soon send out detachments an Memphis. In the moan time, the grand scene is in Virginia. in the neighborhood of Washington, where largo bodies of troops are concentra ting, and where it is almost hourly an ticipateil there will be a hostile meet- ing. The telegraph reports engage- ments there in which the government troops have been successful, but as yet no decisive blow has been struck. This is a period of deep interest, one in which we expect to hear something heedful, yet dread it its announcenaent. ENGLAND AND THE WAR. • We tee numerous articles, so dwelling with considerable emphasis upon tbe position England is likely t assume upon -the war of this Govern meat, and the variods States in open rebellion. The sayings of the vario English public men is dwelt upon, and some capital sought to be made by the expressions they have ova. However the only real authoritative document we have from the British Government is the Queen's proclamation, which w think ought to be satisfactory as indi- cating the course of that Governmen in regard to onr present struggle.— She distinctly announces that all sub- jeets of the British Crown, sailing un- der letters of Marque, do so at their peril and under her displeasure, and in deing so become amenable to the law promulgated and enacted by these States. Evidently England wants to main- tain a strict neutrality in this contest, and it seems to us that such ought to be the bighth of our desire. But to accomplish this there is one point that has been overlooked, and which we hope to see romedied at the earliest tinotnent: We allude to the fact, that a vessel takes as a prize may be taken into any English port and there sold. This we think allould be corrected; and we believe that the justice of such cor- rection will be apparent to the English Cabinet. The English interests being so near- ly allied to our own, her commerce finding perhaps the greatest source of nourishment from these States, her la- bor kept in employ by the demand here, and our bread feeding her mann- lecturing ?pillions, it cannot be:denied that she has an interest in this contest second only this Governtnent itself.— It is not to he expected that she desires other than we do that this must be a she! t war. We cannot therefore be- lieve that she will put weapons in the hands of the rebels for its long contin- uance, nor adopt any other policy as to herself than will be consistent with a speedy return of her commerce and all the prosperity of peaceful relations. Of May May 30th, the telegraph reports that 4he course of Gen. Butler in re taining slaves who had fled to him, is sustained by the Government. A man has been arrested at Phila- delphia, who was in the employ of the Quartermaster in that city, charged with shipping saltpetre anti brimstone to the rebels, Mount Vernon remains in stutu quo.

HASTINGS, MINNESOTA, JUNE 6, : : : : 1861: C. STEBBINS, Editor. BROWN ON PARTIZANSHIP. The Faribault Republican of last week has an article the leading ideas of which are that our friend Brown is a Republican, and that we are not much of a fellow because we proclaim our patriotism superior to all partizan consideration. Friend Browm also says that the Republican party always has been a Union party—devoted to the best interests of the nation, and we presume from the tenor of the ar title he presumes to correct the wide spread rebellion,amd bring peace to the troubled country through its interren- Hon alone. We grant that the Repub- lican party was and is for the Union, but Brown, if you are going through this war winning only laurels of vic- tory for Republican brows, you do great injustice to a large class of our fellow citizens. Wo mast confess that we recognize many who heretofore have been our political opponents, la boring for the perpetuity ot the gov- ernment, and the downfall of the Reb els—yea more, they not only acquiesce in the acts of Mr. Lincoln's Aminia- tration, but give it an earnest and zeal- ous support, shall ive insult their pat- rotism, impugn their motives, or ques- tion their acts by maintaining an or- ganization, which stimulated by prej- udice and passion may do all this.— No! no! Into the daapth of our own heart we go down, to find expressions strong enough to fitly represent that patriotism, which has leveled the par- tizan distinctions at a blow, which have been nurtured and sustained for years. Whatever politicians may think—however talk, the great body of the people will rise superior to all partizan considerations, and unitedly proclaim and strike alone for the Gov- ernment as it is. Does friend Brown remember the patriotic declaration of Wm. H. Se ward, in his last great speech before the American people. How like the silly twaddle of an old man passing into his dotage it seemed then, how like inspiration it seems now. It was the vision that was presented to great mind, as cause after cause pre- sented the results which must follow. We feel its full significance now, and the majesty of mind, tho patriotism o heart, that dictated it, has added other honors to him whom even the editor of the Republican delights to call great. We can not call the exact words to mind, but the idea was: The Republican party has performed its Mission, forward for the Constitution and the Union. To plead for partizan organizations now, is too much like investigating the causes of which a person fell into the river, while he is atiil struggling in the water, with but a moment be- tween him and eternity. To carry out the comparison Brown says 1 knew the democracy would bring us to this, but before he will accept of the proff ered remedy he inquires, what were your political predilections, and did you subscribe to the Chicago Platform'? We have no such questions to ask, the destiny of the Government hanging upon the single proposition, "shall the Government be sustained?" we have but that to make. We think that Brown's position can be illustrated by an anecdote we once heard of an old darkie in Kentucky — He hail fled for shelter under the tolis age of a tree during a thunder storm and was quite secure in its protection. Tbe clouds darkened, however, peat after peal tent the heavens, the angry tightenings flashed their forked tongues, and threatened with theii breath of flame, still the datit'e was in safety, but near and more near ap preached. the stoi m -cloud, and its fury the tree received the stroke which rent it to pieces, and precipitated the negro some twenty feet from the trunk. stuned and frightened. With return nig consciousness came the obstinacy of his nature, and scratching his head, with a bound he was in his old position exclaiming: "1 will stand dad" Brown, be considerate; and in this we include all who are simularly situated. Overleap you prejudices, be the man you are, true, loyal, and prudent. and do not proclaim your stubbornness by exclaiming, "I will stand dar!" ter and manner, and has increased rather than diminished in this respect WITH THEIR HANDS TIED.—The oe cession Congress passed an act pre- vious to its adjournment, prohibiting the export of cotton, except through the seaports of said States.

Doug- las, one of the greatest Statesmen of this age is dead. Let the nation mourn, for in his death the Constitution and the Union has lost a champion. For several days the telegraph has borne the announce ment that he was in a critical con- dition. On Monday morning be breathed his laet, and the announce, ment of that resnit brightens the memory of his publio service, while the pall is gently drawn over ' his er- rors. He died at his residence in Chi- cago. No one can doubt his patrioti, sni, no matter what may be the opin- ion as to his ideas of public policy. innonmenmemmagamminimm FROM FORT SNELLING. FORT SNELLING, - Jane Ist,1861. Mn. EDITOR:—The promise made to you when I le t Hastings has not been faithfully kept, but I have consolation in knowing that I am not alone in making proraises, and neither am I alone in b:eaking, for not a copy of your paper has as yet reached me. We are now quietly settled down to iarrison duty. The officers and men under the leadership of Col. Gor- man are being brought to strict mili- tary dicipline; these volunteers are not inon who can be made mere machines, they arc composed of the bone and sinew of our State, they aro men many of them reared in luxury and highly educated, but Col. Gorman is teaching them their duty, and doing it as no other man in our State could do.— They are men who aro actuated bv prin- ciple, they have the good of our conn - try at heart, they will do their duty as men, who are fighting for principle and the Constitution. The company from Dakota county are doing their duty, and making great proficiency in the drill. Capt. Adams, is a hard wooking good officer, and it is the gmeral opinion hero that he is ane of the very best officers in the Regiment, and that company "H" will be equal to any emergency. The company were very much gratified with the presents from the ladies ol our city. They said, that, the bags and towels were just what they most needed and of far more service, and more highly prized that all the ginger bread that could be placed before them. When those "articles" were presentad three rousing cheers were given from the heart for the ladies of Hastings, who had so kindly remembered them. They will hold them in heartre't re- memberance now, and when far away at the post of duty and danger. Companies B and 0, Captains Bromley and McKune, left under com- mand of Maj. Dike, for Fort Ridgley, on Tuesday morning, and arrived at that post on the 29th, and relieved Maj. Patten, of the lOth Infantry.— Capt. Wilkin, company A, received marching orders on Wednesday morn- ing for Fort Ripley, to relieve Col. Abercrombie, they all left in good spirits. The health of the garrison is good, the quarters are being put in good repair. \Ve aro in hopes to re -g ceive marching orders soon—but as yet there is nothing definite. The good natured countenance of Lieut. Hayes can be seen at all times on duty, It would bo amusing to his .many friends to see him on dotele quick. 1 will try and write you every week. &TAMER. FAIRBANKs' SCALES.—It is a signifi cant fact, which the public will appre date, that whenever new scales are put upon the market, as large numbors have been front time to tittle, timing the last thirty years, it seems to the first and chief aim of the makers to show that they are the same as Fair banks,' or like them, or aro improve• merits upon them, or have taken pre- miums over them, thus recognizing the latter as the standard for excellence. an i showing the strong hold they have upon the public confidence. It is a well-known fact that while most of these scales have, after more or les, trial, rimed mainly out of use, Fair - hanks' have gone steadily forward, in- creasing in public favor year tete, year, and are now much more gener ally used than all others, not only in this country, but wherever America' commerce has been carried.

The telegraph reports that numer- ons slaves have escaped from their owners in Virginia, and fled for protec- tion to Fortress Monroe. The owners becoming aware of this fact, and that Their property was inside tho. walls ol that defense, dispatched a flag of truce, and demanded their return under the Fugitive Slave Act, one of the laws o the government. They were gracioue- ly received, but in reply to their de- mands were informed that as it WAS known that a wide spread hostility ex istod in regard to the fundamental ba' sia upon which that law was predica- ted, the United States could not acce le to their demands until the claimant made oath to support the Constitution that gave to such law its vitality; that upon snch evidence of loyalty the property could be identified and appro. priated to the use of the owner, other wise they were prisoners of war, and would be employed as the rroper an• thorities might dictate. It does seem to us that a seceded State can claim no privileges and immunities, consist, ently under the laws of a governmen whose mandates they refuse to obey. and even affect to tlispise.

Gen.

LOCAL MATTERS. Oar Gov. Ramsey has returned home from the east, where he has been on business connected with the equip- ment of the troops. Lieut. Gov. Don- naly, who has performed the duties du. ring the absence is again among us. • it47" Lieut. Gov. Donnelly has been elected Captain of the Nininger Horne Guard, a military comp my just or- ganized at Nininger. Some doubts being expressed as to whether Mr. Donnelly could take the thirteen inch step, he replied, "that nn the advance he might find groat difficulty in per. forming it, but on the retreat he was certain that ho could attain it with ease." LEWSTON.-At Lewston, in this county,a Home Guard has been formed. We do not know who its officers are nor the number of men composing it. The example is worthy of imitation. A Ball is to be held at 11.0 Wel. bridge House in that place on the evening of the Fourth of July. The crops in that vicinity are looking re markably well, and teams aro scat- tered over the prairie turning under the greensward and the bright flowers. Let the ,voik go on; "It puts money in the pocket." THE GRASS. -The grass is looking beautiful on the prairies, and the sleek, satisfied looking cattle, as well as the wealth of golden butter that crowds this market gives evidence of its nutritive quality. WHEAT. -There is still an amount of wheat in the -country, but is com- ing to market rapidly. Gold has been paid in this city for it at as high fig - urea as seventrfive cents por bushel. THE CURRENCY. -A great change in the circulating medium has already been efected in this city. Gold and Eastern currency finding its way into the hands of a people too long itne posed on by worthless trash. The merchant feel proud of the result, and it is believed that the work of efect- ing the Illinois and Wisconsin cur- rency front circulation here, will net be a difficult one. What currency the farmers are taking now will do to sleep on. et -f The Board of Aldermen ap- pointed the following, officers to serve for the current year: Marshal, Chas. Lewis; City Attorney, C. W. Nash; Treasurer, A. M. Pett; Surveyor, II. .J. Rogers; Police Justice,: Juo. IL llagett; Constable, Wm. Jones; As- sessor, Wm. Lec. A SCENE FOR A PAINTER. -Our city wears an air of peculiar beauty just now. Venda! hands have spat ed a uurnber of the forest oaks which have decorated the town site of Hastings since the olden time, when the Dakoe t as built th ‘ir camp tires and reared their lodges, and the youths of the tribe speke of love to the dusky maid ens in savage language, awl perhaps with savage ceremony, under theii shade. These oaks are now clothed in their robes of green, and the effect 01 white houses and fences peering through their foliage is tmignifleant.- The combination of art and nature al- ways have a beautiful effect, and jus now our city wears an air that would fill the artist with inepirat ion Renumber that the Dakota County Agricultural Society meets In this city on Saturday next. r FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION. -E B. Higg,ins, of Lewiston, writes us that there will be a meeting held at the At- inidon,Sehool House, on Saturday the 8th inst , for the purpose of arranging the details for the celebration of the Fourth of July at Castle Rock. A full delegation of citizens is requested at the meeting. We hope friend Higgins wil send us the proceedings of the meeting. • - • Old Burnet House," under n new name and new proprietor, refitted and refurnished is to be opened to the public next week. The House is to be called "The Tremont," and is under the charge of Mr. White, an old and popu- lar landlord. .. • ..- . Or The Baptist Social Circle meets on Friday evening next, at the residence of Mr. J. D. Searles' in the west portion of the city. Tho luxury of ice-cream will be one of the features of. the evening. Fan. -About these days large num- bers of pike and pickerel are taken from the lakes and streams in this vi• cinity. We hear of fishing parties frequently, and their success in ensnair- ing the denizens of the water is priers ally good. PIGEONS -Pigeons begin to make their appearance in great numbers, and the sportsmen are bagging quantities of them. • As good an article of shingles are manufaetured in this city as anywhere, and in large quantities, both for home use and export. AM' The "Home Guard" that was to be in this city seems to be consid erably scattered about now. We sug- gest that renewed exertions be made, and the requisite number raised, and the men be perfected in the drill. LUMBER. -.-WC notice large quanti- ties of lumber going out dai;y through this city. This shows that the farmers are building fences, houses, barns -and making permanent improvements. D. E. EYRE. WM.

This popular breed of sheep originated in England where they are also known as Sussex Downs. Originally they were narrow -chested, flat ribbed, slow in coming to tnaturity, and their fleeces averaged only two and a half pounds each. By selecting the best of this breed far flatus stock, rather than by crossing, the race has been greatly improved in the last 75 years. The size and weight of eareass and fleece has been nearly doubled, the form has become more sym- metrical and better balanced, and they fatten and mature easier and earlier.— Jonas Webbs is one of the most noted English breeders of this race. It is said that in English markets, South Down mutton brings a cent a pound more than the larger Cotswold and Leisester, though these last give the greatest weight of car - Cada for the food consumed. The .American taste is not sufficiently refined to discern the qualities of mutton, con- sequently the largest and fattest ani- mal bring with us the highest price. COUNTRY AIR. Fresh air almost doubles a man's life, and more than doubles his capacity for enjoyment. Breathe pure air if you wish to live long. The farmers have largely an out door life, and their aver- age years in New England are sixty-four. In the same loeitlity the average of shoe- makers is forty-three; tailors forty-two and a half; druggists, jewelers and teach- ers about forty; machineists about thirty sight and a quarter; and printers about thirty-six and a half. A taste for out. door life gives a rich vitality to human-- ity, and induces innocent enjoyments. - The difference between the airs of crow- ded street and a hill town have been in• geniouely shown by an English gentle- man. He found that a solution of soda would decompose in the open air, twen- ty-two times quicker in the close courts of London, than among the hills of Lin- colnshire. Twenty-four out of twenty - live infants died among 2800 once annu- ally sent to English city hospitals, while only nine outof twenty-five died out of those sent to the country poor Louses. REMARKABLE HORSES. We are indebted to Chas. B. Lane, of Middleport, N.Y., for the following brief history of a pair of horses, objects of note for miles around that neighborhood for their age, endurance, and tricks: 'They were called respectively 'Old Jake' and 'Old Jim,' and were foaled in 1831. In 1836 they were first brought on the farm now owned by me, and among the singularities connected with their history, may be mentioned the fol- lowing: They were never known to lie down in the stable—they were never bedded or blanketed ---they were always worked hard and at any one's service who needed them, and yet retained so much pluck that, until within the last two or three years, they regularly ran away two or three times in a season.— They lived principally on ground food. About three weeks since 'Old Jim' was found down in his stall, but being lifted, kept his legs for a few days longer. He then fell in the barnyard from sheer weakness, and it was thought better to terminate his sufferings at once. 'Old Jake' soon missed Isis companion, and kept up a pittiful whining all day, but has since begome reconciled to his solita- ry condition—walking over the premi- ses as mischievous as ever, letting down bars and opening all doors only fastened with a hook. Hie gait is a little stiff, but his eye is as bright and his body as free from blemishes as when he sported in the hey -day of bis colthood, nearly thirty years ego.—Rural New Yorker.

The following examples of successful farming, which have corne under our own observation, may encourage men who have had doubts thrown over their minds in regard to the practicability of msking the business profitable. Some sixty years ago a tnan came to Western New York from New England or New Jersey, I am not certain which, his axe and a little loose change being all the property he had. Be worked several yearsfor different farmers, and then bought land for himself. He now has a farm of six hundred acres or more, has giveu his two sone each a good farm, and pas taxes on two hundred thousand dollars of psrsonal property. He has never had any business but farm- ing. I know another man whose father left him a farm of about two hundred acres, something over thirty years ago, with some incumbrances on it in the shape of legacies to other heirs, who now has over four hundred acres of land, and fifty thousand dollars at Interest. He also has done no business but farming. Several men have worked for me, who though they had nothing when they came are now well off. A young Scotch - man worked for me over thirty years ego, who had but three cents when> he began, but who has now a good farm of two hundred acres, well stocked, and is free from debt. He knew how to do the mechanical part of the work thor- oughly, but knew nothing about specu. lation. I could name others who have acquired fortunes wholly by farming. A farmer of small means should be Very economical and still very liberal .- 11e should be economical in dress for himself and family, and in his dress and furniture; he should be liberal i n feeding his stock, manuring his land and in supplying labor to work his land. have seen many farmers who have kept always poor by trying to do too much work for the number of laborers employed, whereas if they had hired double the labor it would have paid abundantly. This is a very common mistake— Roston Cultivater.

STEER NORTHWEST. THE FIRST oFFioEtt's STORY. About two years ago, I left the ser- vice. I was tired of it; and as I want- ed Horne more exciting employment, I joined a whaler. We were uulucky— somehow, I bring no luck any where— and we were nearly empty. We were cruising np here to the north, and thinking of making for home, as the weather bad changed; and the ice forms precious quick in those latitudes when it once begins. The captain nat- urally wanted to hang on to the last for the chance of another haul. One bright afternoon, just after eight bells, I made up the log, and took it to the captain's cabin. I knocked at day. Even that did not satisfy toe. --e the door, and, as nobody answered, 1 I was continually running np into the walked in. I thotight it odd the caps rein hadn't answered me, for theriti he was. sitting at his Ilesk, with his back to writing.. Seeing he was ern -n o expected to happen, but of what it }inye1 J told him I had brought tile was to be We Lould lam no idea. The log. laid it down ma the table Whin 1 'second officer, 1 believe thought us him, and as he made no answer, I walked out. I went on deek, and the first persou 1 met was the captein. I vas puzzle.1-1 could not make out how he had got out before me. 'llow (lid you get up here 1' I said; '1 just left yon yriling in your cabin' .1 haven't been in my.cabili for the Wit half lout', the captaM answered; bit I thoughtehe was ch 'Aug and I didn't like it. 'There was some one writing at your desk jest now,' 1 said; 'if it wasn't yon von had better go and see who it is. The log is made up. I have loft it in your cabin, sil;' and with that walked sulkily away. 1 had no idea of being elisffel by the captain, to whom I had taken a dislike. 'Mr. Brown,' said the captain, who saw I was nettled. 'you must lieve been mistaken, my desk is I oke I. But (-mite— we'll go down and bee abut it. I followed the captain into the cabin. The leg was on the table, the deal was closed, and the cabin was empty. The eel tain tried the desk; it was • Y011 SU, Mr. Bi 000,' he said, laugh ing. 'yo i must have been mistaken, the desk is lur ked.' I e as positive. 'Somebody may bet' pi. ke.1 the lock; I said •Bilt they couldn't have closed it ',gain,' the captain euggested; 'but te satisfy yi.u, 1 will open it and see if its contents are safe, though there is u tnindi he! e to tempt a thief. Ile opened the (leek, and thew — stretched tight across it, was a sheet of paper, with the words, 'Steer N. \V.' wi men in en OH. cramped liand. The captain looked at the viler, ail itt lin.led it :0 We. are tig'it. 21. Broe n; soine• body has Leen lime. This is eolue 1, V e sat there some :inie t al king, and re) ing to guess what could be the ob. ject ol such a joke—if joke it was I mean: to be. I tied to identify the back of the man•I had seen at the desk o ith that of Fitly of the crew. I could not do it. It is tree that I had at fist kelt the mat) for the captain. but now points.uf (1:11erence suggested them - helves. I had not looked very attent- ively at the figure, lett still I. was un der the itir Toshio!that the coat it had 00 was brown, and the hair which ap- peared under the cap, seemed, as I re- membered it, to have been longer and whiter than the captilin's. There was only one man on boatel who resembled, in the least, the figure 1 had seen. 1 eoggeeted to the captain that it night have been old Shiel, the Boatswain.— Ile did hot Lke to suspect the old Mall W110 was a great favorite; besies, what motive could he, or indeed any one else. have in trying to change the course .of the vessel. Not to appesr to suspect any one in particular. the captain determined to have up all the crew. We had them up, one by one. NVe examined them, and made all those that cont.! write, write 'Steer N. W.,' but we gained nu clue. One thing was very clear: it could not have been old Shiel, who was proved to have been forward at the time I was in the captain's cabin — The mystery remained unsolved. , That evening I sat drinking my grog with the captain in the cabin. We were neither of us inclined to be talk- ative. I tried to think of home, and the pleasure it would be to see old England again, but still, tny thoughts always wandered back to that loyete- rious writing. I tried to read, but 1 caught myself furtively peeping at the desk, expecting to see the figure sitting there. The captain bad not epoken foi some time, and was sitting with hie face buried in his hands. At last he suddenly looked up and said: 'Suppose we alter her course to n ortlowest, Mr. Brown.' 1 don't know what it was; I cannot hope to make you understand the feel- ing in my mind that followed these words; it was a sense of relief from a horrid nightmare. I was ashamed of the childish pleasure I felt, but I could not help anewering, eagerly: 'Certain- ly; shall I give the order!' I waited no longer, bat hurried on deck and altered. the course of the ves- sel. It was a clear frosty:night, and as I looked at the complete before going below, I felt strangely pleased, and caught myself chuckling and rubbing my hands; at what I cannot say—1 didn't know then. but a great weight had been taken off my mind. • I went down to the cabin, and found the captain pacing up and down the small space. Ile stopped as 1 came in, and looking up, said, abruptly: 'It can do no harm, Mr. Brown.? 'If this breeze continties,' I nnswer- ed, 'we can hold on for thirty hours or so, but then, I should think—' 'But then—we shall find ice. How's the wind?' 'Steady, north by east.' We sat down and finished our grog. I had the morning watch to keep next day. I was too restless to sleep after it. so I kept on deck the whole of the tops with my gless, but every tirne ea inc down disappointed The captain was as unquiet asepyself. Something both crazy; indeed, I often wouderad, myself at the state 1 Was in. Evening came, and nothing had turned tip. The night was blight, and the captain de- tertnined to catty us under easy sail till mornitig. lorning Caine, and with the first gray light I was on leck. It was bit- terly cold. Those only who have seen t' ern can ftti an ide t of the delicate ti. ts of the morning sky in. those Neither!' Seas. But I was in no hue !nor to appreciate the beauties of na- ture There was a mist low down on . • the horizen. I waited impetiently fir it to lift. It soon lilted and I could not he mistaken — beyond it I could bee the shimmer f ice. I sent down te to tell the captain, who came on th ck tirectly. 'It is eo use. Mr, Brown,' he said; 'you must put her about.' 'Wait otie moment,' I slid; 'wait one neenent; mkt. is lifting 'note, 11 will be quite c ear The mist was indeed lifting rapidly. Far to the meth and west tie could see the iee st teteltieg away in one un oken field. 1 was trying to see whether there appeere 1 any break in the ice towards the %west when the cap• tain, seizing my arm with ono hand, and poiliono streielit ahead with the other, exclaimed :— 'Good lleeveu! there is a ship there The mist bad risen like a curtain. and there, suie enough. about thrre miles ahead %V la A ship se eniegly fii inly packed iti iee.

A twill- er detachment As as soon brought off. and the Captain with the reminder of his crew were to follow immediately 1 went down toe my cabin and tried to think over the singeler fate which made us the preservers of this ship's crew. I could not divest myself of the idea that some supernatural agency was connected with that paper in the (leek, and I trembled at the thought of what might been the consequence it tve had neglected the warniug. The boat coming alongside interrupted my reverie. ln a few seconds I was on deck. I found the captain talking to b fine old mailorelike looking man, whom he introduced to me as Captain Squires. Captain Squires shook hands with me, and we.reinained talking sometime. - 1 cool 1 not keep my eys off his face; 1 had a conviction that I had seen him momewehere, where I could not tell.— Every now and then 1 seemed to catch at some clew which vanished as soon As touched. At lest he turned round to speak to some of his men. 1 could not be mistaken—there was the long white hair. the brown coat. Ile was the man I hid seen writing in the captain's abut! That evening the captain and I told the story of the paper to Captain Squires, who gravely and in silence lis- tened to our cor.jecturee. Ho was toe thankful for his escape out of such em- inent pari'. to question the means by which it had been brought abot.t. At the captain'e reqneet he wrote Stet N. W.' We compared it el h the original writing. There could be no doubt -of it. It watt the same old, cramped band. Can any one solve the mystery? In order to deserve a true friend you must first leant to be one. OUR BANNER. I knew our heroes would not fail, Nor idle swords itt 'scabbards rust, When armed traitors dare assail And drag our banner to the dust. I knew the blood of noble sires, With which its folds were often wet, Would feed the hot, indignant fires In gallant hearts, and would not let This dark dishonor rest on thee, Thou starry banner of the free. They who have differed now unite, And turn one front upon their foes, They press together to the fight And leave their quarrel till the close. Their hearts are true, their cause is just, Tile UNION is their battle cry, Their standard is a sacred trust, They will defend it till they die, And make the proud Palmetto tree Bend 'ncath the banner of the free.

The following from the Chicago Tribune of June 5, may hays more big- nfiicanee than we have found such con- fident etateinents usually to posses At any rate, our readers are eutitled to them: "We sre able to announce on un- qneationable authority that Gen.

RECOGNITION OF SIAJTHERN STATES As Beeemerteeerm.— The announcement by the British Ministry of their purpose to recognizing the so called Goulette), ate States as belligerents, was coupled with assurances of a desire to act with entire impartiality in our affairs. This does not comport with the assurance A. recognition of insurgents as bellig- erents. though of a bete marked charaeter than a reengnitien of Item as a nation is yet a preliminary step in the same direction. It is an ad eviricine a favorable dispoition to those so recog- nized, and consequently to the same extent, evincing an unfriendly disposi- tion towards the government which ie suppressing the insurrection. England did not recognize tho Hun- garians as belligerents in their struggle for liberty in 1848 She did not lee - °gain the Neapolitans as belligerents, when they revolted the saute yemr.— She did recognize the hennas as belliga erents last year. and ham since tollowed it up by recognizing Italy as a nation. These illustrations are enough to show that such a recognition is nut a recess say, but an inilicatiou of sympathy.

The large number in attendance gives evidence of the interest felt in the society, and an assurance of the efforts that will be nada to make the Fair entertaining. On motion of Henry Spragne, it was resolved to hold a Fair this fall, at such point in the County as will pre- pare the grounds and offer the greatest inducements; and proposals n ill be re- ceived as the next meeting of the Board, which will be on the 221 day of June, at 2 o'clock P.

On motion of Mr. Ileslep, it was re- solved that the Vice Presidelks be in- structed to circulate subscription pa- pers in their respective towns, for the purpose of raising funds to meet cans tingent expenses of the exhibition.

THE REBEL STRENGTH IN VIRGINIA — A Virginia correspondent of the New Orleans Delta, who evidently be- longs to the rebel army, writes on the 25th: "I am persuaded that exagerated es- timates are made of the forces of both belligerents. I do not think that the whole strength of the Washington. Government, from Fort Monroe thro' Maryland to Washington and.Alexan- dria, is mock outside of 50,000; while the Confederate force, actually under arms, and mobilized for instant service, can scarcely acted 40.000. It is dis- tributed at Norfolk, on James River, at Manassas Junction, at Again Creek.

The contra- band goods which are seized almost dai- ly consist of percussion caps and military clothing. A gentleman who has arrived from Manama Junction heard the rebels say they had twelve thousand troops there. He saw Beauregard, and among the prisoners there he found several residents of Washington. Troops will be dis- patched to Frederick, Maryland, on Thursday, to protect the Union,men. it being understood there is a plot on foot among secessionists to depose Gcvernor Hicks on that day, and establish a pro- visional government. A number of regiments have orders for Chambersburg. It is now believed there will be a speedy advance on Harper's Ferry. Gen. Mansfield received word that the Michigan regimemt was fired at in Bal timore. An army officer has been sent there to inveetigate affairs. Gen. Banka takes cemmand at Balti- more today. Col. Stone left this city to day with troops, going in the direction of Lees- burg. Large numbers of cars have been sent from Grafton to Cumberland, to bring Federal troops to the latter place. - It is said twelve thousand troops have left for Harper's Ferry, but this is tho't improbable. Mr. Curtis, a member of Congress, from Iowa, will be appointed Bridadier General and given command of the troops from Iowa. Ten thousand troops will be in Bl:t- more within thirty-six hours., That city is in a fermentation, and there are preparations for a thorough rising. - Arms are stored in private houses. and nightly drills have been going on. At the first sign of an uprising, the city will be bombarded from Fort McHenry. New 1 ORK, June 11. -An army of fiver who hat an interview with Gen.

WASHINGTON, June 10. --This has been a day of anxious expectation. It is reported that ago evacuation of Harper'a Ferry by the rebel forces has already begun. It is known that the policy of such a step has received seri oue consideration from the rebels. They appear to have nbsudoned all idea of of fensive operations as at first laid down by them, and only think now of being able to hold what they have got. Secession flags will not float over Washington, Insledendedce and Faneu- il Halls. It is certain Gen. Johnson has been largely reinforced within a few days, and it may be his intention to try the !nettle of Patterson's McClellan's and Cadwel- ader's commands. He will find himself surroended on all sides, and out of reach of assistance from the south. If he re- treats towards Manassas .function, he will be closely followed by the whole. Federal force now concentrated around Harper's Ferry and the retro grade move- ment will hardly stop north of Rich- mond. I have reason to believe that Lieut. Gen. Scott leaves to night for Frederick to commend the Federal forces in per- son. His horse went forward to Balti- more to day. FoRT Mo*Ros, via Baltimore, June 10. -Gen. Butler, having learned that the rebels were fortifying their camp with strong batteries at Great Bethel, nine miles from Hampton, on the Yorktown road, he decided it neces- sary to dit:lodge them. Accordingly movements were made last night from Monroe and Newport News. About midnight Col. Dnryee's Zouaves and Col. '1'ownsend'a Albany regiment crossed the river at Hampton by means of six large batteaax, manned by the naval brigade, and Cook up the line of march -the former some two miles in advance of the latter.

Correspondence of the Evening Peat. The region of country lying between the Potomac river and the Manassas Gap Railroad Junction, is a very in- teresting.locality at pieeent, and prom- ises to be so for many weeks to come. It is unquestionably destined to be- come the theatre of stirring events, and a few facto respecting its topo- graphy will not be without interest. At the request of Gen. Mansfield, how- ever, all correspondents refrain from indicating exactly the position of our troops, least the enemy might profit by such statements, for though the mails are cut off, yet there is a direct communication with the South via I-larper's Ferry. All the northern news goes daily to Harper'a Ferry, and thence to Richmond and the entire South. From the Chain bridge, which is three miles above Georgetown, to Al exandria-a distance of 'about ten miles -there is a continuous chain of hills half a mile to a mile and a half back from the Potomac. Entrench- ments are thrown up quite a distance north of Georgetown -across the river -and so at different points below to Alexandria. The chain bridge, the Acqueduct, and especially the Long bridge, are very strongly guarded, and every prominent hill is, or will soon be, extended. Arlington sleights are right oppo. site Georgetown, nearly two utiles back from the river. Roach's Spring, which is frequently spoken of, is about two miles distant, southwest of the Long bridge, a little off from the road to Fairfax Court House. Arlington Huns. is about five miles north or northeast of Alexandria. Fall's Church is a little northern village six miles straight west of Georgetown.- Bailey's Cross Roads is five miles due west of the Long bridge. and the road from the bridge, which leads directly past Bailey's, is the road to Fairfax Court House.

The two parlors connected with each other with folding doors. In the front parlor sat young Jones with a book in his !sand.

The "Fat Contribdtor" of the Cleve- land Plain Dealer, does up the follow- ing tremendous sensation tale in four chapters: CHAPTER I. "If you love me as I love you, No kuife can cut our love in two." BILL I'EXrO:I, Reader, have you ever stood on the heel path side of the Ohio canal. en one of those mild January evenings peculiar to early autumn, and watched the sun rise from his gorgeous couch athwart tha western sky, and listened to catch the musical warble of distant coal beavers, minglsd with the cries of a ragged canal driver eticoureging a pair of attenuated calico mules? (1f you don't remember at once whether you have or not, take time to consider, and inform us through the post t.ffiee, caclusing a stamp.) It was at such a time, and on such a spot, that two sol- itary youths might have been seen walking artn in arm, in the vicinity about that time. Need we tell you that one was a daughter of poor thorgh wealthy parents, and that the other was her lover/ After considerable time passed in re- flection. it appears rather neccessary that we should, because you wouldn't know:it if we didn't. The young roan had seen but nineteen springs, yet did he urge his suit with the passion and ardor of one who had attained the ripe Age of four score years and 'ten, and notwithstanding his weight did not ex- ceed one hundred and twenty five pounds, he couldn't have plead more eloquently had he weighed a ton. The znaidt n was fair. Tooth -brush han- dlescouldnot compare with her teeth in whiteness, and the raven's tt ing'had no mole business by the side of her glossy curls, than a etovc brush. Can we wonder the young man swore Ire would ghee:fully catch the me si's fur her sake, and expressed a willingness to have the scarlet fever the second cline to prove his devotion? Alas! the perversity of woman. Al ti.ougls loving devotedly, she reeked to his ardent declarations by sitting Joon 00 a atone boat and wilting hint a letter of intruductta.n to the marines, to whom she rocotneuded him to re- port that narrative. Driven to frenzy by such trifling, Caleb turned so red in the fere he tore all the buttons oft his vest, and frothed at the mouth to such nn extent he split a bran new vest .down the back. Then casting nem: her a look of unutterable anguish thro' a pocket telescope, he cried, False one! farewell for -r r ever! thiew a double hand -spring, and disappeared behind a high board fence.

She called aloud—°Ca-leb! Ca leb!" but no Caleb answered. However well other Calebs might answer for others. none but her Caleb could answer for her, and he couldn't, because he wasn't within hearing. 'Then she recalled his love for the 'briny deep,' which induc- ed him when a mere lad to run away from home and drive on the canal.- Afterwards his father, humoring his passion for riding on the mountain waves, and climbing the towering masts, procured for him, through his influence with the President of the United States, the appointment of third assistant lock tender. What More nat- ural, thought Pheebe, titan for him to fallow his youthful passion. and go for a sailor? After due reflection her face brightened up, and she hurried away to execute a suddenly formed design What was it? We shall see. CPAPTER III. "One for the money, two for the show, Three to make ready and four to go " —WATT•. WHAT!!! Belore explaining the meaning of this thrilling ejaculation, let us take a review of things at the period of our story. Old Bourbon, who is now in Kentucky, engaged in the whiskey bu- siness, swayed the scepter of France. Gin ruled Holland, and Sweden was governed a good deal by the price of Sweede's iron. •Wales was just be- ginning to be celebrated for her prints, now generally known in this country as the "Prints of Wales," and Spain was getting up excursions to Put -in Bay. Glancing at the World, Jerry Baldi was weighing out candles on Staten Island, and had not dreamed of driving the Pope into "Rome Swamp,' in the name of the Continental Con- gress; and Chrietopber Columbus, having completed his labors by dis- coveting Sandusky, had retired to the Hermitage at the North Bend of Ash- land on Mount Vernon, and is writing for the New York Ledger.

Filled with this desperate resolve, he sought his boarding house, but a clean shirt and collar in a cotton valise, and started for the river. A gallant tug lay at the dock, which he hoarded and requested to see the captain A sailor, whose voice was deeply bronzed by exposure to the tropic of bailey corn, appeared at the maintop -mizzen gangway, and inform• ed him that the captain was engaged in the cabin. He wag being presented with a bosom pin and gold headed cane by a ferryman, who was about to retire from office. The presentation was wholly unexpected. After considerable delay Caleb was invited to descend. When he entered the cabin, he was struck with the youthful and delicate appearance of the captain. Ile was abont to tell him that he had come to ship before the— well, smoke stack, wht n the supposed captain faired his cap, and a shower of corkscrew curls fell upon his shoulders. "What!" exclaimed the lever in amazement, "Pheebe Ann!„ -Caleb!" They rushed int,, each other's arms. Alter an embrace which caused a thermometer in the cabin to rise to ninety-nine degrees in the shade, mu• tuel explanrations followed. She had divined his purpose to go for a sailor, and resolved to thwart it. The cap- tain of the tug being an aunt of hers, had allowed her to he captain for the day. and chance had dune the rest. Pheebe Ann was repentant, Caleb forgiving. and that day theya+greed be- rme a minister to live the rest of their life together. IS CHILDHOOD HAPPY? There never was a greater mistake merle than when childhood was called the happiest portion of life. 1 have seen a little child's breast swell with an anguish as great as wo'tl ever agitate it, though it shoald live to fonrscorr. Call it 'a trifle' if you will, that of a playmate jeered before a hued' ing crowd of buy j•idges; no verdict ot alter lite would be harder to boat; and and when, euro of sympathy, he tells the story to some ono whotn he fan- cies will sympathise, and that man or woman or child listens with indiffer- ence, or pooh•peohs it away—do you suppose that child will ever drink a bitterer cup? I tell you nay, and if the neigh grinding heel of the busy. insatiable world were not on uo all the tone, we should know and feel in. Nur is :he suffering Inuntentary, as many suppose. How can it be. when some such juvenile experience often colors a whole life?

A few more inches to my stature, however, settled all that. Then was my time. A CONTINUAL DROPPING.—A French editor has given the tollowing amusing description of the effect of an adver- tisement: 'The first time a man sees an advers tisement he takes no notice of it; the second time he looks at the name; the shird time he looks at the price; the fourth time Ire reads it; the fifth tune he speaks of it to his wife; the sixth time he buys.'

Such songs have power to quiet The restless pulse of care, And come like the benediction. That follows after prayer. Then read from the treasured volume, The poem of thy choice, And lend to the rhyme of the poet The beauty of thy voice. Aud the night shall be. filled with music, And the cares that infest the day, Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs, And as silently steal away. THE COMET. Anything regarding this rare visitor to earthly bight will interest those who are nightly awed by its grandeur and the wonderful, blazing trio 'k it leaves in the heavens The only notice we find as yet in our exchanges is the fol. lowing from the Chicago 'Tribune of the 2,1 inst: "A splendid comet made its appear- ance last evening in the northwestern heavens—its tail reach;ng newly to the zenith. Mr. Thomas Bassett, of Ottawa, writes to the Journal as fol- lows concerning the strange visitor: 'Last night (June 30th) after sev- eral cloudy evenings, the groat comet 1204 and 1550 suddenly presented its self, shorn of none of its ancient slimier. Its tail is almost straight, yet, if anything, convex to the west and fully ninety degrees long, termi• totting a little south of the bright star Lyra, and passing over it. The comet is within two or three days of its peri- helion passage, and will pursue a track eastward, favorably for exhibiting its magnificent proportion for two months to come. It will probably not attain Its full size and Lrilliancy until about the first of August." If Mr. Bassnet is correct in pro- nnnneing this the comet of 1264 and 1556, it is the fifth, we believe, whose periodic return has been verified by observation. The interval between its first aurl second recorded appearances is 262 years, and between its second and third 305 )ears. The perihelion distance of this comet had ditninished and eighth between its first appearance in 1264 and its second in 1556, caus- ing a great elougatton in its orbit, and indicating a probable lengthening ot its "circuit." by several hundred mil- lions of miles, which is now shown to be equal to thirteen years in its revolu- tion around the sun. PoLiTIcALLY DaAD.—\IgG , an Alas barna Marshal, arrived at Cleaveland about two years ago, in search of a fu. gitive from justice. He put np at the Wendell Huuse, and, during his stay there, had a difficulty with a person who roomed with him, one evening. on which McG. shot three times at his antagrnist, slightly wounding him the tititd time. He was immediately ar- rested and pet in jail. lu the morn ing, the following scene took place in the prison: A friend of the Marshal entered his ce'I and found Litn seated, his head rested on his hands, and looked like one who had entirely given np in de- spair. - 'Come, Mac,' said his friend, 'cheer up; the man is not hurt.' 'Ruined, ruined, ruined!' groaned the Marshall, without even changing his position. 'Raine I? bah!' returned his friend, don't be a child. I tell you the wound is but slight; besides, it is an *grave- led case, and had you killed him you would not have been r• ined.'

A disprup'rtionate share of the Federal tnuekets and rifles had somehow found their way in these Stags, and had been seized to be used against the governmeut. Accumula- tions of the public revenue, lying within theta, had been belied for the acme object. The navy was scattered distant seas, leaving but a small part of it within the reach of the govern- minent. Officers of the Federal army had re signed in great numbers, and of those resigned a great number had taken up arms again t the Government. Simple taueously and in connection with this, the purpose to sever the Federal Uniou wile openly avowed in accordance with this purpose, and ordinances had been reported in each of these States, declar- ing the States respectively to be sepa- rated from the Federal Union.

Wily have not these indispensables adjuncts of a cam- paign been provided? The answer is that they could not be sooner obtained. We are told that every wagon factory between Maryland and :thine, Ilse been employed by the Government in tun• ing out vehicles for carrying ammunit- ion. tents,.provisions, forage and camp equippage. An , army of one Lutt- 1red thousand uten requires fivebuns tired wagons to transport provisions alone, over an enemy's 10110 ry. The ammunition for such a force requires an enormue train of horses and wheeled vehicles. T. move forward without these appliances would be the Iteigth of folly. The Virginia rail- roads will he destroyed as the t•ebele retreat, and it is to be presumed that they will devastate the country of eve erything constituting food fur man or beast—thus rendering it necessary to carry all the provisions and forage for the grand army, by aheer horse power, from Washington. We preeun►e that this is the true cause of the delay, rather than any lack of disposition to move forward and crush out the rebellion before the rebel Cone gress meets at Richmond. GENERAL SCOTT. A London journal, not many weeks ago, remarked that "Gen. Scott is proverbally a slow commander. He is always unpopular during his cant- ptigno. It is only when the campaign is over, and he hue wort, as he always toes, that the wisdom of his action is understood, and he becomes popu- lar." Higher pt wise conld not well have been bestowed upon any commander, for'tbe parallel is an exact one with that paid to the Duke of 11'ellittgton. He was always a slow coach, an old fogy.

EDITon.—In a city the size of Hastings, for the better management of our city affairs, it becomes necessary to elect officers to attend to our city mat- ters. The most important items, in my opinion. is, the health and comfort of our citizens, e•pecialty the former. To attain this oa jest, it is very neses- sary for our "City Roberts" (if they would tlo it,) to retnove all nuisances, offensive stnells, and the numerous holes of stegn•tnt water that are in this city. The most offensive 'ylacefi''my opinion, is on the alloy near Raniscy street, between 2.1 and 3 i streets, just back of, and on the lot of the meat- matket. 'There you can see at almost any time, inside of a high board fence, and Institutes net as in:entives to reviv that arc left lying in the road alter ifs tl'e dormant faculties, and are slaughter, And green hides hong there well auioeted for ' qualifying teachers to dry, and to perfume the air of the fur the discharge of their impertent du- ties.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR. So far the war has been one of skir- mishes, and since the unfortunate affair ut Great Bethel, success has general!} been on the side of the government. With such a vastly extended fron- tier, the conflict is uecessairily spread over different sections, and while the great sept of conflict is in Virginia, we have an important struggle going on to suppress rebellion in Missouri.— 'Ihis is, as it were, a side -issue, and yet an important one. The masterly movemen's of Gen. Lyon. who, falling rapidly upon seces- sion wherever it reared its head and scattering its forces before they had time to fully organize—drove Gov. Jackson and his followers out of the State, has within the last week been followed by a reactionary movement, the return of the rebels, assisted by faces from Arkansas, into the south- western part of the State. here they met Col. Siegel, formerly an officer in the armies of Germany, and command• ing forces principally made up of Ger- mane. Willi en inferior force Col. Seigel vas compelled to retire, but slowly, stulsborn}y, and contesting ev- ery foot of ground and inflicting great loss on the rebels. It has been said t'iet a well conduced retreat is as cred- itable as a victory, and in this case cer- tainly our forces have lost no credit. Ia Virginia the state of affairs may thus bo summed up: The great body of the rebels is col- lected in the centre of Virginia. To the east of them at Washington are r Gen.

With this force is our Minnesota, and but one tiling is lack - THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. We are as much in favor of an eco- nomical administration of our State affairs as any one, but there ere some institutions which, while they may ap- pear as mere appendages to the State, will nevertheless return four -fold to the people all that they may cost them. Among these is the State Normal School, located at Winona. The theory of this institution, and of all kindred institutions, is, that there can be no good schools without good teachers; and that therefore it is the in- terest of the Stats to superintend the education of the teachers if they would have the school fund well expended. Our readers will boar us out when we say that in many cases those to whom the education of their chil- dren is consigned are utterly unfit for the important trust; being either poor- ly educated, of doubtful morale, of vi- olent and often profane manners, or having no conception of the peeper means of conveying instruction. Many of then resort to school teaching as a mere temporary occnpntion; to bo aban- doned at the end of a month or two; few of them feel any natural inclina- tion for the pursuit. With such teachers the expenditure of money upon the schools is of little avail, and uo extcneled system of State instruction can be successful.

To the north is the army under Gen. Patterson, advancing from Pennsylvania into Virginia, while from the north-west comes a large force tins der Gen. McClellan, also striking at the centre of Virginia. 'Thus, consid- ering the Rebel army as the centro of a circle we have four armies converging, liko radii, upon it. The advantage of this plan is that it may gradually drive the rebels step by step out of Virginia; the danger of it is that our separate armies may be attacked in de• tail by an overwhelming force of the enemy. Gen. McClellan's force advancing, en- countered a rebel battery at Laurel hill. He divided his command pro- posing to attack it on two sides. The The enemy, learning his plan, estabe fished a smaller battery to meet ono of his divisions before it reached the main battery. After a long march sed a hard fight the lesser battery was caps cured, whereupon the whole rebel force precipitately abandoned the train bate tery. So far, so good. Gen. McClellan is looked upon as cno of our ablest mili- tary leaders, and will give a good Ac -1 count of himself in his future opera- tions. The day cannot be far distant when the game of batteries, masked or other- wise, must be abandoned, and the rebels must either meet us in a fair stand-up fight, or retreat from Virginia, and a retreat once commenced would never end until they reached Florida and Texas. A consummation devoutly to be wished. There is no reason why the struggle should be protracted, and we hope to see energetic and rapid movements until the rebellion is effectually subdued. FIRST MINNESOTA SWtMMING IN THE POTOMAC.—"Raisins," the graphic correspondent of the Stillwater Mess eager, gives the following account of our boys in the Potomac: "On Saturday evening last, at a dress parade, an order by Col. Gorman was read ordering a regimental swim. Ac• cordingly early yesterday morning the different companies took up their line of march for Virginia. Passing through the city to the navy yard, we crossed the East branch of the Poto- mac into one of the seceded States, and on the shore thereof we went in.— One thousand heads bobbing up and down at the same time in ono sheet of water would have proved a picturesque affair for some enterprising photograph- er. I shall not be surprised to learn that copies of the "Minnesota Regi- ment swimming in the Potomac" are for sale at divers places in Washington "for seven cents only"—the standard price for minature photographs iu breast pin shape." A 'tete de !rout' is a field fortification ;u front of a bridge, to cover the retreat of an army acro' a river, ing, to make her equal all others: that is to say, good teachers.

It has produced excellent fruits already, and with time vs ill fully repay every dollar expended on it. TIIE AMERICAN PRIMA DONNA. On Friday evening last, a large num- bar of our citizens, ladies and gentle. men, were delighted with the great vo- cal powers of Miss Caroline Richings. When elle first appeared before us we found ourself involuntarily wan- dering, what there was about this, to us, remarkable plain woman to give her a world wide reputation, we were not long left in doubt; her lips opened, and strains delicious, full and entranc- ing followed from these walls that pris- oned so much of melody. We cannot speak as a musical critic—wlcannot talk learnedly of tho diminuendo or crescendo, the tones and semitones, &c., we only know that we were delighted— it was music such as wo had no con, ception of, only as our imagination could blend the warble of birds with the sighing of the tempest as it sweeps through the forest. It stems that could we gather all there is of music from the air, the earth, and the waters, and blend them in one harmon ious whole, we would but get a fitting representative of Miss Richings' pow- ers of song. Some have said that As a vocalist, Miss Richings is superior to Jenny Lind, but not having heard the latter, we aro not prepared for the comparison. Every one ought to hear Miss Richings, both for the delight it brings, and to understand the powers of the human voice. To Mr. Rohr, of St. Paul, well known in musical circles, and who has sacrificed a great deal to cultivate the musical taste of our people, for this visit of Miss Richings, we hope that his enterprise may be rewarded, and that Miss Richings may receive such a greeting front our people as will lead her to hold theta in grateful ro membrance. TUE BiLt.B PASSED IN CONGRESS.— The bill which has passed the House, authorizes the Secretary of the Treas- ury to borrow, within two months of the passage of the act, 8250,000,000, its payment to be secured by duties on tea, coffee, sugar, spices, wines and other duties and taxes. The other bill which was passed au- thorizes the President to cause duties to he paid at any ports of delivery, and to establish custom houses on land or sea for the collection of those duties, employing also the army and navy if deemed necessary. And if the duties cannot be eolleced, to close the ports. Mn.

There were plenty of thein at Montgomery, but the journey was too expensive for many and they remained in Washington, fawning upon the Re- publicans, and importuning the Lincoln Government to be kept in or res'ored to office, until President Davis end his Cabinet came here, then they swarmed around the flesh pots. Every one, of course, has been most terribly persecu- ted for conscience sake. There is not a man among them who was not im- prisoned, or threatened to be arrested, or driven away beeause he was so very dangerous. From their extraordinary stories, one must believe that Lincoln and his Cabinet, Generals Scott, Mc- Dowell, and all the rest. had their time exclusively occupied with the cases of these important and dangerous indivi 1- uals. What does the Confederate Gov- ernment owe them? How grateful the South ought to be for their devotion.— They evotion—They have left fathers and mothers, sis- ters and brothers, and creditors, all for the offices at Richmond.

THE EDUCATION mon NEEDED.—The idea too commonly prevails that a mere knowledge ot books is the beginning and end of education. The sons and daughters, espeCailly of the rich, grow up with this notion, in idleness, an it were, withslittle idea of the responsibil• ities that await theme Their natures revolt at the mention of 'labor,' not dreaming that their parents bs fore them obtained the wealth they are so proud of by industry and economy. How many youtig men, college bred though they may be, aro prepared to manage the estates which their lathers posepss, and which it may have required a life- time to acquire? How many young women, though they have acquired all the knowledge and graces of the best schools, know how to do what their mothers have done More them, and which the daughters may be compelled to do at sorne period of their Ryes !— The children of the poor:have to labor or starve, and as far as that goes they are educated to bo practical. The edu- cation that scoffeeat labor, and encour ages idleness, is the worst enemy for a girl, man or woman. Instead of en- nobling, it degreiles; it opens up the road to ruin. The education which eli• recta us to do what we are fitted to do —that respects labor—that inculcates industry, honesty and fair dealing, and that strips its of selffishnose, is the ed- neation we do need, and that which must become the prevailing system of tho country before wo can be et people either happy or prosperous.

Most of our readers have probably seen tbe account of the recapture of a vessel takeo by the privateer Jeff Da- vis. The details of this most extra- orninary affair are contained in the statement of Boice McKinnon, a pas- senger : On the 3rd of July I sailed as pas- senger for Montivido, whither I was going for my health, intending to en- gage in stock breeding, in the schooner S. J. Waring, Capt. Smith, of Brook- haven, from New York. We dropped down to Quarantine that afternoon, and on the morning of the 4th weigh. ed anchor and put to sea. Wo had tolerable fair weather until we got to lat. 38 deg. 55 min. lon. 70 .deg. 4 min.. 150 miles from Sandy Hook, on Sunday the 7th inst. That morning about eight o'clock, we saw a vesserahead, but did not pay any particular attention to her until about noon, when we had drifted very near her. Then Capt. Smith and his second mate scanned her very closely through a telescnpe. She soon after hoisted French colors and our Capt. sent below and got the Stars and Stripos:vvhich he set. A moment after a shot came whizzing over us, and we then pretty well understood her true character, still we thought it not un- likely that it mignt be a French man- of-war that hal merely taken that method of asking us for the news from the States. Our uncertaintyehowever, soon resolved itself into stern fact, for we were shortly visited by a boat from the unceremonious stranger, in which were an offier and twelve nien, the Captain and mate, hart ,raised himself first uniformed, and the CTOW as wretch - on hie „elbow, and roared at the ed a set of scoundrels as could be "P steward in a half stupid, half facinated picked up in any seaport, all of whom way, not seeing the pistol which Sed - were armed.

There wele, therefore, on the schooner a prize crew of five; Wm Tillman, a colored stowart of the ves- sel, William Stedding and Don thi McLeod, seamen, and myself, of the original party, four—nine persons in all. The schooner was headed for Charles- ton, or some inlet on the coast near that point. Wo were not put in irons, but used with as much kindness as we could expect. The steward continued to cook and provide for us, and our men wotked the vessel. I became quiteintitnate with the offieers and ex. pected soon to be a prisoner of war ne Charleston, though we hoped we utigpit' fall in with a Uuited States vests'sl aid be rescued from our captors. Thus we got along quietly on our way southward until Tuesday the 16th inst. when we were about fifty miles sleuth and one hundred miles west of port, and thought we might get in next day. What tollowed 1 dii not anticipate. It is true thet now, when I look back, I remember that Amiel had congratu- lated himself upon the valuable prize he had found in the steward, whom he vowed was worth a cool thousand on Meeting street, Charleston. And I fur- ther remember, that on several occa- sions, Tillman, the steward, shook hie head and muttered : 'Dem folks saber git to Charleston,' but I supposed then that he was expecting, like the rest of us, to meet with a friend in one of Uncle Sam's cruisers. It mwas a bright moonlight night, that of Tuesday, so pleasant that I remained on deck till 11 o'clock, latei- than 1 usually did. The steward had turned in at 8, as was his habit. Our trunk cabin projected about three feet above the main deck, and was entered by a companion way in the middle of the forward end. When I went down the mate was nodding on tbe cabin roof, jest in front of the wheel, in a half recumbent position. Behind him stood Wm. Stedding, one of our old crew, at the wheel. Milnor, the South Catrolinian, lay asleep on a pile of sails at the foot of the foreneast. McLeod, one of our men, with Dorsey, the Jenwyman, were asleep in the forecas- tle. The cabin lamp was burning on the table when I went below, and Capt. Amiel lay snoring in his berth, sound asleep in his stateroom. In the state. room on t he other side of the cabin slept the stewed and second mate, the former on top the latter in the second berth, the third and lowest (+kepi,* berth being nneceopied.

There were three persons on board who knew nothing of this. The priv- ateer soilors and Donald McLeod, ue of Olir sailors, whom I eubscquently learned would not join the steward and Stedding in their attempt to recapture the vessel. Handing me his pistol, Stedding went forward and roused Milnor, the South Carolinian, a young man of two or three and twenty, from his sleep at the foot of the mainmast, and called him aft. Not seeing his comrade when he carne into the cabin, he was much frightened and begged for life. The steward told birn he wow(' not kill him, but iron him, and Itis fate must depend upon his nod behavior; he wanted to spill as little blood as pcssible. He willingly held out his wrists for the irons. They then went forward to the forecastle and called out the other privateer, Doreey. Upon learning the condition of af fairs he begged for his life, which they promised to spare if be would assist in working the ship, and be true and faith- ful, to all of which he agreed. The stewart now took command, and the oelsooner headed for the north, with a fair :wind. None of as knew anything of navigation, but we trusted to good fortune to enable us to make out our course. The South Car- olinian was released from irons the next day, and peoved a very useful and witling fellow in working the ship.— On Friday, the 19tb, at 8 o'clock in the morning, we made the land which became quite distinct by naon, and we kept on our way with good weather, sounding our way as we went. Of course we had to be vigilant. - Two of our hands might turn upon U8 at any moment, and McLeod was not faithful. For three days before we got in we went forward and slept with them on the forecastle. Stedding, Tillman and I managed it so that two of us were on deck all the time, and always aft of the other three. The tnen on watch carried the two pistols, and the one that slept always had one eye open, lest we might be attacked. On Sunday morning at 9 o'clock, we got a pilot off Sandy Hook, and soon after hired a tug for $60 to tow na up toNew York, where we arrived about 3 P. M., truly thankful for our great deliv- erance. t31(ii14 thvir irttt Ith tilt !IL 'HASTINGS LIGHT GUARDS. --Ilia company we understand is now fully organized, and will in a few days be uniformed and equipped.

EDITOR -•DEAR Sirt:—Tho causes which lead to the late defeat of onr arms at Bull's Run are platters of deep interest to the whole country. Ten men who lately went frntu our town, in the prime of manhood, are dead— and how many more aro inaine+l for life, or der,tincd still to die, retnains in uncertainty. Worse than this, we lose the advantage of victory. '10 be sure we may recover from the latter —but the men are dead—and it may cost us many more to regain what we have lost. 'flat wo may gain wisdom from our calamity, let us look a little at the causes which led to this reverse. The day of the week chosen for this battle was meet uuproititious.— Sunday is a div that every man needs for rest. And the nearer the precepts of the Divine command we come in the observance of it, the better fitted aro we to perform well the duties of the week. This is not a surmise or specu- lation, but a fact well established by the most extensive and c:ireful obser- vation. To explain it, it has been as- serted by philosophers and is extensive- ly believed, that -there is something in our constitutions nssking the Sabbath a necessity—requiring us to rest one in seven days, in order that wo 'nay re- cover the waste consequent upon exer- tion, and may attain the greatest degree of efficiency, mental or physical.— Nothing could seem more important to me, in a time of war, than as far as possible, to give men the full benefit of the Sabbath day. Most certainly an attack might be made by the enemy on Sunday, and I would repel it with with all the power at my command — But to commence an attack, is quite a different thing. I should expect to be defeated. It has been remarked that in the war of 1812, the party attack- ing on Sunday was uniformly beaten, ,'e -P Javin B. Irvine, of St. Paul, at and how was it at Wetorloo?

AGRICULTURAL CLUB- Clsb met at its rooms in Edison'; block, on Saturday, Aug. 3d The President in the chair. The subject of the grape culture was taken up, but the experience with this vine in this region as yet was very lim- ited—but few having succeeded in the cultivation of grapes. Mr. Truax, of Point `Douglas, was repoltes to have exhibited some fine specimens at the Dakota County Agri- cultural Fair last fall, and Mr: Hig- gins of Chubb Creek, had a fine pros- pect for fruit this season. W. G. LeDne spoke of the varieties that he thought desirable here, and gave the preference to the Delaware and the Catawaba. It was thought that with the hardier varieties, grape culture would prove a silccess. Mr. Robinson said we had growing wild in our forests a grape worthy of attention, frotn which an excellent wino might bo produced, and in vinditation of his remarks opened a bottle of fair port wine, manufactured from tho pro- ducts of the wild vine on our river bottoms. Tho society imbibed, and the verdict that carne from the bottle, "good, good!" was confirms 1 by the membership. 'then W. G. LoDnc presetated a bot• tae of claret manufactured from like grapes, and the taste gave evidence that we are nut without the elements for an excellent native wine. On invitation of Mr. Eli Rubinson, the members of the society repaired to his grounds, where were apple trees with fruit actually growing upon them, cher- ry trees that had borne fruit this sea - 5011, plums promising an abundar:t yield, while the peach bore evidence that in another year it would bring forth luscious fruit. 'There wore also a num- ber of grape vines of the tanao varie- ties, in a very thrifty condition. The orchard of Mr. Ilone, of Point Douglas, which was plrnted in 1851, and which has a considerable amount of fruit this season, some trees hav;ng ten bushels of apples on thorn, was commented ou at length. The conclusion was arrived at, that with caro both the cultivation of the vine and orchard fruits tnight be mado a success in this State. 'Trio Society adjourned to meet on the 2•1th inst.

The op- position were excused from voting, as they protested against the power of the Convention. The new officers elect were duly sworn and inaugurated in the Conven- tion to day, in the afecrnoon session. Each made a strong Union and patri- otic speech, amid load applause. Atter;,other unimportant business, and the presentation of an address to peo ale of the State by the Convention, it adjourned until the third Monday in December, unless sooner called togoth• or by the new Governor, and demand- ed for the public safety. Three hundred kegs of Lowder and two pieces of caunon were captured at Wadshaw yesterday, and will bo sent to St. Louis. ARRIVAL OF PaiNcE NAPOLEON.—Tale Imperial French yacht Jerome Napo- leon, arrived at this port on Saturday afternoon. She brings to this coun- iry Prince Napoleon, and the Princes Clotildo, his bride, the daughter of the present King of Italy. The prince is a man who, apparently, is about thirty-eight years of age, with features closely resembling the first Na- poleon. In statue ha is taller than Napoleon-, brit his form, the rotund body, and the slender limbs are very similar. Ho was dressed is light summer clothing, wore an old Panama hat, and was seemingly enjoying his cigar, oc- caeionally retaking some playful remark to the princess or her attendant. 'l'he princess is very young looking, with a full face, bright eye, dark hair, and is of quite small statue, but is inclined to embonpoint. The party will visit Canada, and from thence pass through the western States, down to Washington.—[N. Y•. Commercial.

We regret to say the movement does not receive the encouragement we had hop- ed it would- It Las a considerablo list of names, and more aro required. We must learn the science of war, and it might as well be commenced now. The Navy Department is most ac- tive in ita exertions to render the biock- rdo of southern ports effective before the cotton crop comes in. To that end twenty clipper ships have just been purchased. THE KANAWHA EXPEDITION FLIGHT 08 WISE. A correspondent of the Cincinnatti Gazette writing from Point Pleasant, Va., Ju:y 31st says: A courier from Gauloy's Bridge nr- rivod in town this morning, bringing the intelligence that Gen. Cox had suc- ceeded in getting up with Wise's par- ty at that point on Sunday morning,— As soon as onr scouts were seen, intel- ligence was conveyed to Wise, who beat a precipitato retreat, leaving be - hand for onr nse,several casks of bacon, 1,500 muskets, a large lot of ammuni- tion, tents and other camp equipage.— In his retreat be has burned all the bridges on the road. Ile is now re- ported encamped in a stronghold I8 miles above Ganloy's river. Col. Tyler succeeded in joining Cox on Sunady. He is now encamped on the outer side of the river. A halt will be made here for several days tofroab the troops, who are exhausted by their long march, when the two divisions will unite and give Wise another chase. Our men are in good spirits and anx- i0118 to be led into battle immediately. It is reported by a soldier of the 2nd Kentucky regiment, who has just ar- rived from the camp, that Capt. A J, Jenkins, ex -Congressman, was shot by one of onr scouts, and mortally wound- ed. This news is reoeived with great joy by the inhabitants of th border.— Jenkins is a desperate character. and is hold in fear by tho whole communi. ty. He carries on a sort of guerrilla warfare upon nnarmcd citizens, and robs them of all they possess. At Charleston all is quiet, and a strong Union feeling prevails. Those who were driven away on account of their Union sentiments are returning, and confidence is once more restored.— Lewis Roffner, a member of the lato convention at Wheeling, returned to Charleston to day. He will immedi- ately organize Homo Guard compa- nies along the Kanawha, and prompt - put down all attempts of the rebels to again rally. THE TRUTH COMING OUT. Tho rebel loss at the battle of "Stone Bti►igo," as the Sontheun papers call it, was more severe than that the first dispatches reported it. The number of killed and wounded coufessed to is not much short of two thonsand.— The truth would make it nearer four thousand. From tl►o present imper- fect reports we gather tho following list of the field officers killed and wounded: tiILLED Olt MORTALLY WOUNDED. Gen. Bernard E. Boo, South Caroli- na; Gen. Francis S. Bartow, Georgia; Colonel Nelson, 2d Virginia regiment; Col. Fisher, 6th North Carolina; Col. Mason, of Gen. Johnston's Staff; Lieut. Ben. J. Johnson, lIampton Legion; Maj. Robt. Wheat, Louisiana Battal- ion. WOUNEED. Gen. Kirby Smith, Regular army; Col. Wade lIampton, Hampton Le- gion; Col. Jones, 4th Alabama; Col. Thomas, of Gen. Johnston's Staff; Col, I1. C. Stevens, Gen. Bee's Staff; Major Scott. 4th Alabama. '1'he Captains and petty offi:ers are in proportion, and the long lists of names bears painful testimony to the desperate assaults made by our army. It is a fair estimate that they lost mote in killed and wounded than we did in killed, wounded, prisiouers and missing. Gen. Bee, ono of their slain, was a cadet of 1841, and won distinction in the Mexican war. Gen. Bartow was a prominent Georgia politician—young and ambitious. Lieutenant Colonel Johnson was a South Carolina lawyer, and has two brothers who are clergy- men, one being Chaplain to the Wade Hampton Legion, of which the de- ceased was second officer. Maj. Wheat was well, if not favorably known, as the ernbodiment of fillibustering chiv- alry. Gen. Kirby Smith is from Flori ,la --a cadet of 1843, and served in Mexico with honor, ColonoT Gartrcll was a tnetnbor of Congress from Geer gig. Among the Captains killed was John Avis, of Winchester, Virginia. the jailor of Old John Brown. 4111. IMPORTANT FROM MISSOURI From the Chicago Tribnne. General Fretnont's expedition has reached Bird's Point, raising the force there to some eight thousand men, with a good supply of artillery; and these and the brigade at Oairo give us a total of some twelve or thirteen thousand. Nothing is hoard from Gen. Pillow, but tato fact that he has seized the regular packet boat at Columbus, and commands the land communica- tion north from New Madrid, will doubtless inspire our troops to a sharp look out, in anticipation of an attack itt any motnent. With the two armies in such close proximity, and the known desperation of Gov. Jackson, for whose especial benefit the rebel move- ment is being made—a battle can hard- ly be postponed many days. Tho intelligence from Springfield, Missouri, is also alarming. Gen. Siegel's force has been reduced to some six thousand by the return of the three month's men, and McCulloch, with a knowledge of this fact, is moving northward for "better subsistence." The rebel plot is rapidly coming to heal in Missouri. Our troops await the onset with unshaken courage, and a purpose to atone for the prestige lost at Manassas. In the interim of the Virginia campaign, the attention of the country Is now drawn to the great battle field of the West. And it will not be disappointed. WE OUGHT TO BE TIUANHYUL,—We have an abundant crop of almost everys thing—in fact the earth bap yielded np her treasures with a mast profouse hand at the behest of the husbandman, health reigns, and devastating storms and causualaties have been rare indeed --yes we ought to be thankful. ANOTHER GREAT RACE. Flora Temple and Ethan Allen, the latter in double harness, with a mate, Socks, had another trotting ]patch on Fashion Course the 27th ult. Theso horses are the fleetest trotters in the country, and their late previous match brought out such remarkable speed, as to create intense interest in this race.— Tile day was fine and the crowd im- mense. Tho first heat was won, under some disadvantages, by Ethan—time 2:21 1- 4. The second heat is thus described by the Tribune: The horses came up at the sound of the bell, in good time and in good con- dition. They got the word at once, wasting no time unnecessarily in scour- ing. The team having .the poll this time, measle the turn in good style and took the lead, but Flora let oat a link or so and lappet them at tba quarter, which they reached in 33 seconds, and passed with the speed of locomotives. Both drivers urged their horses to the utmost. McMann determined to make the mare recompense for her precening defeat, and Sam apparently as much in earnest to win the race and purse fur his employer. They swung into the stretch lapped as before, but Flora out - footed Ethan for awhile and showed her nose in front, and thus they flew for perhaps a couple of lengths, when. presto! up wont the stallion, and away he went like mad, as if ho were run- ning a race with Socks in double har- ness. Sam was seen to lay back and tug to get him in band, but to no avail, for whether frightened by strik- ing the wagon with his heels, or excit ed by the stunning stroke of the mare, ort quietly urged on by Sam, he fairly ran away, and flew over the ground as though he was shot out of a gun. Flo- ra made a couple of skips but caught ber'seif in fine style, and thence, all the way hone, never ceased her splendid gato' Tho flight of Ethan, at first not un lierstood by the spectators, finally be- came so manifest as they drew out in line of sight, that the utmost excite• ment was caused in the crowd, and when the horses came round tho turn into the Monte stretch, the people were almost beside themselves. Hundreds rushed into the middle of the track as if by their shouts and feeb:e bodies they could stop the runaway; and what with the shouts of warning, and the cries of the excited oaos, and the push and rush hither and thither, there was seriovs danger that some lives might be lost. But the iustinct of self pres- ervation prevailed, and the crowd press• ed Lack into the stand as the running team clattered by, Sam tugging on their mouths as if ho would pull his arms out, and Flora close behind, trot ting an even but tremendous stroke, undisturbed by the noise and confusion.

During all the latter part of the fight there was no controlling mind— no commanding chief. Regiments in vain %vatted for orders, and fought on without thorn, until hanger, thirst, ex- haustion, and slaughter drove then] from the field they had conquered, and the batteries they had won.

He has urged the no- cesasity of a great increase in the feces of artillery, and is organizing the ar- tillerists and hurrying up the batteries.

We regret the position in which the Republican leaders in this S tate have involved the principles of that party— a strange fatality follows some men, and it seems to have attended the Republi- can Central Committee in making its call for a Party Convention. Before endorsing its action, or being governed by its mandate, it is well to inqnire whether the principles are not periled , and if not, whether there is not a higher duty and more sacred trust devolving upon the American people, than the mere maintainance of partisan lines, especially so, when by so doing we engender bitterness and strife, which increases the danger to the government. Of course this article is not addressed to mere camp -followers, those men who are loud in support of the principle, when by so doing ,it gives them posie tion and etnolurnent, but when this is accomplished roll them up and lay them away, as the sportsman does his hunting suit, till another election calls them forth. Such men have a great influenee, because, pampered by the people's money they spend it freely that they may again fasten themselves, leech like, to the body politic, but God be thanked and humanity honored they are not omnipotent. To such men this is not addressed; we want the ear of the true patriot, whose loyalty overleaps all partisan considerations. The Republican party was organized to resist the encroachments oP slasery; for thirty years theattittole of the slave power has been beligere.nt, and aggres- sive, but this was not undeis old by the North( rn masses, until its aggression had ripened into treason, and they had hid tiled upon the Natienal emblem tat fleets 1 over Fort St m er. Teen was witnessed the eub:imeet revolution the wall ever Haw, and men ‘vlio were reduce:tilt to protest at dip ballet -box. vied as ith each other in their eagerness to pi oteet at the point of the bayonet. An undivided North had come to the support of the principlee, that had been bitterly contested but a few mouths be- fore. We believe this action was in goo 1 faith; that it was the movement of the great loyal heart, when it saw the oecessity for vigorous action. The news of the fall of Sumter, was the knell of partisan issues, they are Dead; beyond resurrettion, save the empty names, and whoever attempts to rally under them will find his fatal mistake. To array the people iu a hostile at- titude may be the highest duty of the mere party trickster, but ie the scorn and contempt of the loyal masses. To preserve the Union and suppress the rebellion, should have been the only aim of the people. 'l'o go through a political campaign, with principles at stake must develop a great deal of ac- rimony and bitter feeling, how much worse then, must it be when striving for the baubles of empty names? Don't say that it has no influence on our arms in the present great struggle. You know you lie, but your personal ambi- tion would vaunt over the ruies of out country to fulfill its desires. Why ilo you flaunt before the public that an is - d110 is springing up between Toombs and Davis, and that they will probably be rival candidates for the Presidency of the rebellions States? Is it not be- cause in this division of sentiment we see the elements of discord and weak. nese? The same ceusea will have the same effect here. The strife for office; the criminations and recriminations of a partisan contest, will plant distrast in the hearts of the people, and the sub- lime uprising that followed the fall of Sumter, will be dimmed by partisan bickerings. The hazzards of this partizan contest are tremendous, the benefits nothing; therefore we believe it is the duty of the people to stand aloof from such combinations, laboring singly and solely for the perpetuity of the Union and the maintainance of the Govern- ment. $5,00 8,00 13,00 20,00 —The happiness of every one des pen& more on his own mind. than up- on any or all external circumstances. —Why are potatoes and wheat like the idols of old!

ARTER. Dora and I had been silent fully fife teen minutes—an unusual occurance for us—when she suddenly broke out with one of the gayest, sweetest peals of laughter. The cars were going at the rate of forty miles an hour, but Dora's laugh rung out above all the noise and confusion. 'What is it, Dora, you witch you?' I said, half piqued that she had not first told me what pleased her, and laugh af- terward. "Nothing, Nelly, only I W RR just thinking of something so funny. Do you see that gentleman in front of us, with the beautiful black whiskers and dreamy brown eyes? Well, he's been watching you item behind that book for the last half hour, looking as if he should like to take a bite of the red roses on your cheek. Don't blush; but he's in lovo with you -111 bet my gold thimble on it. I was just think- ing of some of the stories 1 have read aboat ladies mistaking handsome fel- lows fur their brothers, etc., and . what fun it would be, if you could only mannage to mistake that gentleman for your brother Fred.' I was ready for some fun in a mo- ment. 'Tell you what I'll do,•Dora,' I broke in eagerly, 'you know 1 haven't seen Fred since 1 went to school, three years age; and of course he's changed a great deal since then. Well, if that literary gentleman with the brown eyes (he is handsome, isn't he Dore?) should get off the cats at our depot, 111 wait ell he get.; mixed T11) With the crowd, see him suddenly, as for tho first time, rush up to hitn in flutter of delight, call hire brother Fred, and give him another such Isisssng as ho hasen't had since he SAW his sweetheart hist.' 'Yes, I would, if I were you,' said Dora sarcastically. 'Yeti (Jaren% you pened?' overheard you in the cars; and will promise to keep your secret only on one condition.' He whispered something to me that made me flush scarlet; but I was at his mercy, and said I would think of it. I did think of it, reader, and to the delight of the whole family—Dora and Fred in particular—Arehie and I were married in less than two months — And Dora said to me when I bade her good bye, that it wonld give unspeak- able delight to Fred and herself if I would attend her wedding in a month from them —and I did. OUR FAT CONTRIBUTOR. IN THE HOME GU A.RD The moment the flag was threatened largo bodies of men were called upon to rally to its defence. Being a large bodied man I rallied and enrolled mye self with the Home Guards. The drill is very severe on me this hot weather, although I am constantly allowed an attendant with a fan and pitcher of ice water. I aai constantly reminded that ono ef the first requirements of a soldier is to throw out his chest and draw in his stomach. Ilaving been burned out several times while occupying rooms in an attic, I have had considerable practice in throwing out my chest , but by what system of practice could I ever hope to draw in my stomach i I can't dress up, it's no use trying. If inv vest buttons are in line I ant far in the rear, and if I too the mark a fearfte bulge indicates my. position. There is no room for argument in regard to my sentimente—everybody can see at a glance where I stand. One evening we had a new drill sergeant who WAS near sighted. Running his eye down the lino, he exclaimed sharply. 'What is that man doing in the ranks with a bass drum?' He pointed at roe, but I hadn't any drum, it was the surplus stomach that I couldn't draw in. I am the butt of numberless jokes, es you may well suppose. They have got a story in the Guards that when I first heard the command, 'order arms,' I dropped my musket, and taking out ifly note book began to draw an order on the Governor for what arni 1 wanted.• They say I colored a Winans steam gun, with a pair of Dahlgren howitzers for side mine! Base fabricators! My ambition never extended beyond a ri- fled cannon, and they knew it. Although in respect to size I belong th the 'heavies,' my preference is for the light infantry eerviee. My knap• sack is marked light infantry. One evening the spectators seemed convulse ed about something, and my cotorads tittered by platoons whenever my back was turned. It was all a mystery to me until I laid off my knapsack.— Some wretch had erased the two final letters, and I had been parading all the evening labelled "Light Infant!" The above is one of the thousand annoyan- ces to which I am subjected, and noth ing Ilitt my consuming patriotism co'd ever induce mo to submit to it. I ral- lied at the call of my country, and am not to bo put out by the rallying of my comrads. I overheard a spectator inquire of the drill sergeant one day: 'Do yon drill the whole of him at once?' 'I drill him in squads!' I would have drilled him if I hell had a bayonet. Specifications have been published in regard to my uniform, and contract- ors advertised for. The making will be let out to the lowest responsible bid- der. In ease the Guards are ordered to take the field, a special commissary will be detailed to supply my rations. That reminds me of a harrowing inci- dent. On last drill night. an old far- mer who had dropped in to see us drill, took me aside and said he wanted to sell me a yoke of powerful oxen. 'My ancient agricultnrist,' says I, smiling at his simplicity, have no use for oxen.' 'Perhaps not at present,' qu'oth he, *hut if you go to the war you will want them.' 'For what?' I said, cousidei ably an noyed. 'Want 'ern to draw your rations!' The Guards paid me a delicate cone- plitnent at the last meeting. They elected me •Child of the Regiment,' with the rank of first corpulent, and the pay of chief 'Blowyer.' I was about to retires thanks in a neat and appropriate speech, when a reporter wbo was present assured me that it was no use, he had got the whole thing in type, speech and all, and I could read it in the evening paper. He said they kept al "neat .and appropriate speech" standing in type continually. I got his views and held my peace. Yours for the Union, including the stars, also the stripes. FAT CONTRIBUTOR. —[Cleveland Plaindealer. Don't I dere though? Wait and see" And so I lopped Leek into the cush• ion in silenco till the train stopped at our btation.

I was not to Le n411111)110,1 over though, fled so, as we stopped out on the platform I saw the literary gentle twin standing amidst tho growil, and with a little bound threw myself into his arms and kissed hiin full in the month, hysterically saying: 'Fred, iny dear, dear brother! how are you?' I caught a glimpse of Doi a—ehe was in danger of going into e.ouvulsions.- 1 expected to hear the stranger coue ilusedly say that there was some mis- take; but to my surprise, he gave mo ; a hearty embrace—kissed me two or three times—said he was well—that I had grown a geed deal; and then en- guireil for my little friend Dora—who, at that time, WAS exciting the sympae Nes of the crowd as they supposed -he was insane, judging from the frail, tic laughter. 'Father and mother are expecting you Nellie, and so impatient they can scarce wait to see you. I was afraid you would not know me: but 1 am really glad that my irnmage has been treasured up so carefully in my little aisle' 's 'heart. I was bewildered beyond measure. It really was Fred, then; and I had not known him. I felt slightly ridicu• lous, and while introducing Dora to my brother, whispered to Ler to keep quiet in reference to my intended trick. I was too much confused to think of in. quiring how he came to be in the cars without seeing me; so we all went to the carriage that was waiting for ns, and rapidly drove home. 1 had never known Fred to be so af- fectionate. Ho held my hand in his own all the One, and kissed me at un- necessarily short intervals, but to tell the truth, I had never loved him half so well before—never thought him half so handsome. We reached the gate. Mother kise- ed and cried over me, all at onee; father repeated it; and finally, a frank, hearty voice broke out with: 'Halloo, Isis! aren't yon going to no- tice your scapegrance of a brother at air!' And to my astonishment, a hand- some fellow I had not seen before gave me a genuine hug, and a kiss that you could have heard across the yard. 'There is some mistake,' I murmur- ed. -Are you my brother Fred/ I thought that gentleman was;' pointing to the handsome fellow I had embraced at the depot. 'Why sis, are yon going crazy? Of course I'm your brother, and that fel- low there is my college chum, Archie Winters, who wont half way up the line to meet you. What aro you blushing at, Nell? There wasn't any- thing wrong in bis going after you, was there? I hadn't time to go, and so let him take your picture with him, so that he wonld besure to know you. He's been playing off some of his mad pranks, and passing himself off for me, I'll warrant.' I looked at Archie Wiutere heseeCk- ingly, and as they were all going int()) the house, I whispered to him: 'For pity's sake, don't speak of that mistake. flow could it have hep• 4 home without a girl in it is only half blessed; it is as orchard without blossotu, and spring without song.

MEMORY AND HOPE. Oft at the hour when evening throws Its gath'iing shades o'er hill and dale, While half the scene in twilight glows And half in sunlight glories still; The thought of all that we have been, And hoped, and feared, on Life's long way, (Remembrances of joy or pain.) Come mingling with the close of day. But, soft o'er each reviving scene The chasening lines of Memory spread; And smiling eaeh dark thought between, Hope softens every tear we shed. 0' thus, when Death's long night comes on And its dark shades around us lie. May parting beams from Memory's sun Blend softly in our evening sky! SLAVERY AND TH.li WAR. Hon. Gerrit. Smith has addressed a letter to the Hon. Owen Lovejoy con- cerning the action of Congress on the resolution of Mr. L. in favor of the re- peal of the Fegitive Slave Act. We quote the following paragraphs from the letter: This shrinking of Congress from re, pealing the Fugitive Slave Act will, I doubt not, go far to prepare Europe to expect the success of the rebellion, and to prepare to recognize the new Nation. She will measure our earnestness against the rebellion by our earnestuess against slavery. She S209, if we du not, that the war of the South is sim- ply a war for slavery, A strange spec- tacle our nation must be in the eyes of Enrope! What is there that England or France would not do to save itself in an appalling rebellion? But such is the amazing conduct of our nation, as to occasion the inquiry—what is there that we will do? What must Europe think of this American chiv- alry, which regards it as dishonorable to avail itself of an element, of weak- ness in a merciless and dangerous foe? What must Europe think of this grea - er tenderness fur the persons and igops erty, ay, even the conventional proper- ty, of foes than for the persons and property of friends? I once heard an office seeker, who was intent on mals• iug himself acceptable to all parties, speak of "oar frientls and our opposing friends." The gentle bearing of our government reminds me of the mincing style of the office seeker. Our gov- ernment seem to recognize our foes as but 'opposing friends.' Can it be that Congress is still tram. meled by the absurd regard for the loy- al slave States? No State is loyal that would have the negroos work for in- stead of against the rebellion. No roan is loyal who would have it. No roan is a true American, who, when Amer- ica is warred ou, will not welcome to her side the services of every Ameri- can. 1 ane glad that Congress has resolvs ed to meddle with nothing at this ses- sion beyond tho war question. lint ut- terly absurd is the inference of many that it must not therefore meddle with the slave question. The slave question is the war question. The war began in slavery, and it will end but with slavery. A SOUTH CAROLINIAN'S OPINION OF ENGLISH SENTRIENT.—The following is an extract of a letter written from England by a gentleman whose home is in South Carolina, and whose sym- pathies are with his State. It gives the result of an intelligent man's ob- servations, who has for some months used some very excellent opportunities for ascertaining the sentiments of vari- ous classes of Englishmen in regard to American affairs: I have tried with some care to learn what public opinion is in England, and say say about as follows: The larger part of the English nation sympathize with the North. The aristocratic part of the manufacturing capitalists as well as imborters loan towards the South, SS to their natural interests. As to Eng- land in any way practically interfering, that is all out of the question. They would rather feed the laboring classes for a few years out of a public special fund, than to go to war with the Uui- ted States; and it would not weigh half as heavy upon the nation, nor make very much difference in the tax bill.— Of such men as understand the matter, and wield influence in public, this id the prevailing sentiment. - - A correspondent of the Boston Joir.. tad, who bas been traveling through Pe nasyl van iasAri tea; A neighbirlf Mr. Buchanan was in the cars. He represents that the ex. President bas long been dangerously sick from sheer exhaustion. He has liule sympathy from his fellowstowns- men, who upbraid him as being this author of all our national troubles -- He is obliged to hear much that must wound him, and letters by the basket ,full are sent to him full of abuse and calumny, and so much so that while lee was so sick his friends would nut allow him to see any letters, unless they knew, where they were from. Mies Lane .ie represented as making herself agree- able to all who call, and keeping open hause to 41 who come to Wheatland, with that same grace that made her so popular at tbe White House. 'WHAT NEXT TO BE DONE. Forney writes a long letter from Washington to the Philadelphia Press, in which occurs this paragraph: The capital safe, what is next to be done/ Peace is rendered more than ever impossible by the victory of the enemy. They now boast that they will hem us in within this ten mile square; and in our streets and publio places, in the hotels and houses of Con- gress—yes, even in our pulpits—they heap scorn upon the flag of our fathers, deride the lessons of the Revolution, at- tack the Constitution an 1 insolently defy the public authotities. Breckene ridge threatens the President from his placein the Senate, surpasses Rhett and Yancey in the violence of his de- nunciatiens of the preparations to pre- serve the government, and openly vis- its the secession prisoners in our jails, holding familiar conversation with them. Mr. Bnrnett and Mr. Valland- ingham obediently follow his example in the House. I know that in many a private residence in this city these dem- onstrations aro applauded and the de- feat of onr army celebrated with ec- static saturnalias. These parties are not alone hostile to all free government, not merely the ine juriated foes of the United States, but they are inflated with the belief that the war commenced upon the authority of the government, will close in their cons pieta triumph. When the federal pow- er is fully restored at this Feint, and when the majesty of the law can no longer bo insulted with impunity, it will be the first duty of the President and of Gen. McClellan to root out all covert and overt treason from every community over which the flag of our country is permitted to float, begin- ning at Washington. This duty rigor- ously discharged, will, however, be preceded by demonstrations of far great- er consequence. It is especially that we may be prepared for these demon- strations that I have ventured to speak in such candid language in this cor- respoudence• KENTUCKY ELECTION. OVERWHELMING MAJORITY FOR AN UN- CONDITIONAL UNION. The returns of the State election in Kentucky, on Monday, for Treasurer and members of the Legislature, are so overwhelmingly for the Uniun, that it is hardly worth while to fioare u the vote. Louisville gave 0,000 ma- jority, and elected as !donators. A. 13. Semple and James Speed; and AS Rep resmtetives, John C. Beerman, Nat. Wolfe, Joshua Tevis and W. P. Boone. The secession vete was very esnall.— Jefferson county (except Louisville) gave 1,100 Union majority, and elected John H. Harney, editor of the Demo - °era, as member of the Legislature, over Ex -Gov. Merriwether. The ma. jority in the State will bo over 50,000, which, according to present returns, is perhaps allowing more for the seces- sion vete than it will prove to be. Thus far, none but Unionists are returned to the legislature. The following Rents aro in the papers: Newport givis James 11. Garrard, Union, 1,042 for State Treasurer; no opposition. Elects Better, Senator, and Webster and Campbell to the House. Covington gives Garrard 1,796; Terry, (secession) only 11. Elects Col. John F. Fisk, Senator, and Fru nell and Smith to the House. Judge Buckner, Union, was elected over James B. Clay. in Fayette county, by from 500 to 600 majority. Richard 0. Anderson, nephew Of Colonel Anderson, of Fort Sumter, was elected in Frankfort county, by some 300 to 400 majority. R. W. Jacobs, Union, was elected in Oldham county. Every place along the line of rail- road from Lexington to C Arington, ex- cept Cynthiana, gave large Union ma- jorities. The election in Louisville passed off quietly; but late in the afternoon a pistol reconnoitre occurred it the Galt House, between Edward Oriethfuld and Thomas Selvidge, wherein both were severely injured, the latter probably fa- tally. SOLDIERS INSULTED IN BALTIWt11E.— A correspondent of the N. York World writes:—It is astonishing to see the in dignities to which the soldiers station- ed around the city are subjected. If they walk along the streets they are often booted at by the secessionists, with such remarks ae "That fellow would make good manure for Virginia soil." And the ladies often give vent to their wrath by spitting upon them in the street. If a soldier, after such insults, opens his month by way of re- taliation, the newspapers in sympathy with secession movements raise the cry otbrntal soldiery and such like ex - pensions. As a general thieg the sol- diers have conducted themselves with great propriety, and have received the praises of all good law-abiding citi. A. BRAVE DAUGHTER OF TRIS REGI- MENT. —Miss Augusta Foster, daugh- ter of the 2d Maine Regiment, from Augusta, Me., was upon the battle field on Sunday 2Ist, ult., had her horse shot under her, aud walked all the way from the scene of action to Alexandria, where she was ministering to the woun led of the Minnesota First, THE HASTINGS INDEPENDENT.

Alexander H. Stephens, the Vice President of the colored Confederates, is, or has been, making a collecting tour of the Cotton States, to raise means to support the rebellion. In discharging his duties in this behalf, it is bis custom to get the planters to- gether and make them a speech; and such a one he made at Augusta, Geor- gia, on the 14th ult. Mr. Stephens is quite frank with his hearers generally, hot sometimes speaks in an authoritative tone, that smacks strongly of the master's whip. He says that the original estimate of the Secretary of the Rebel Treasury', was fifty millions, but that they may want a hundred millions, and if the war continues they shall want more. If it cannot be raised by contributions of cotton, it shall be raised otherwise. - 41 tell you, ' he says, "that the aov- ernment dares not to be subjugated, and if the people do not contribute, I tell you we intend to have the money, and taxation will be resorted to if nothing else will raise it." This is plain and pointed tall:. Having been interrogated on the probable valce of the Confederate pa. per which he intends to exchange for Confederate cotton, Mr. Stephens de- livers himself in this wise: "1 have been frequently asked if these bonds were good. Well, I want to be equally frank upon that point.— If we succeed, if we establish our in - independence, if we aro not overridden, if we aro not subjugated, I feel no hes- itancy in telling you that 11 18 the best Government stock in the world that 1 kuow of. These pay eight per cent. semi annually; therefore, if there is a short war, these bonds will very soon command fifteen or twenty per tout ; but candor also compels inc to state that if Lincoln overruns us—if we are subjugated, these bonds will not be worth a single dime, and nothing else you will have will be worth anything." This, also, is plain talk, and the last words of the passage, stating that in the event of the failure of the rebel- lion, "nothing else in the Cotton States will be worth anything" more than the bonds, discloses a secret mo- tive, on tho part of the conspirators, for exacting this immense - loan from the planters, in addition to the mere waut of money. It is to get most of their available property their very means of support, so linked in and de- pendent upon the success of the cell spiracy, that they will be compelled to support it or lose their all. A SELF Coevicoen BRIGADIER.— Brio'. Gen. King in a letter to the Mil- waukee Sentinel asserts hie own unfit- ness for the office of Brig.

Notwithe standing the disgraceful blunders of battles of the 18th and 21 July he says: "Tho plan of the battle seems to have been a good one and was vigor- ously and intelligently carried put; the men fought bravely and well, and their officers, NS a general rule, set them a good example; but the work was too hard for a fore, composed, in good part. of newly raised and partiaLy volunteers, unaccustomed So act together and not yet knowing how flu they could rely one upon the other." 7,00 Buiness cards five linesor less 7,00 Leaded Ordisplayed advertisement ewillba charged 50 per cent above these rates .

On Saturday night, before the battle, two of the Minnesota boys took it int, their heads to forage a little, for amusemeats as well as eetables.— Striking out from their encampment into the forest, they followed a narrow road some distance, until, turning a bend, five Secession pickets appeared net fifty yards distant. 'rhe parties dis- covered each other ,simultaneonely, and at ono leveled their rifles and tiered..—. Two of the Confederates fell dead, and •one of the 21inuepotians, the other also falling, however, but with the design Of trapping the other three, wile at (ince came up, as they said. to "ex. amine the d—d Yankees:" Drawing his revolver, the Minnes.otian found he had but two barrels loaded, and with these he shot two of the pickets.— Sprinoinc, to his f et, and snatching his saber bayonet from his rifle, he lunged at the survivor, who proved to be a stalwart lieutenant, armed only with a heavy sword. . The superior skill of the Southerner was taxed to the utmost in parrying the vigorous thrnsts and lunges of the brawny lum- berman; and for several minutes the contest waged in silence, broken only by the rustle of the long grass by the roadside and the clash of their weap- ons. Fe: oling Wipe, the llinneso- tian fell back a fees steps. and as his adversary closed upon hitn, with a cat- like spring, he let his saber come down upon the head of Seceeh and the game was up. Collecting the anus of tho secessionists, Ire returned to the camp, where he obtained aseistance, and but is ed the bodies uf his companion mid their foes in ono grave. F.GHTING ON THE SABBATIL—It iS said by those who are acquainted with the history of American battles; that not a single battle, waged and fought on the Sabbath, was gained by the at- tacking party during tho wars of the Revolution. In a public assembly of citizens, that statement was made as a matter of fact, and the hope was ex- pressed that Gen. Scott might be in- duced to follow the example of Gen- eral Washington, never to engage the enemy on the Sabbath, unless first at- tack by him. Let our fatigued and worn ont soldiers have the Sabbath for rest. Our troops must have rest, and need the Sabbath.—N. Y. Sun. Mas. PARTINGTON SPEAKS.—MFS.

EFFECTS OF TIM BLOCEADE.—II ha3 been frequently said that the.Seutli did not Guffr from the effects of our block- ade—that they have provisions and an - plies in abundance. Now, I have a a little circumstance to relate, which will, in this respect, "adorn a tale and point a moral." A gentleman, living some ten miles below, came up in a skiff on Saturday, and asked permission of the Port SUrveyor to carry away a boat load of family supplies. A lot of bacon, sugar, coffee, &to, was purchased and loaded. Just as the owner was pushing from the shore he turned to some ono standing near, and pointing to the bacon, said: "That huuilred pounds ef bacon, by being purchased hero, saves me just 88—the coffee and other things a proportionate amount." So, yon see, bacon—the main stay of Southern .chivalry—costs them just eight cents per pound extrl, because of the blockade. And if eight mos per. pound is their tax now, what will it be in a year hence if the blockade is righteously maintained? -4114111411.--- UNMARRIED FEMILES IN FRANCE .— Married women are everything in France—the unmarried nothing.— Whenever you see a gentleman and la- dy in conversation together, you why conclude. with unerring cortanity, that the lady is married. However many handsome unmarried ladies are pleseet in a company, no one pays any atten- tion to them. They are left to waste their sweetness beside their mamas and aunts. Or, if a gentleman happens to speak to any of them it is in the cold- est and most measured terms. Every word must be as fit for the inother, or the matron lies charge of a young la- dy, as for the young lady herself. Atm unmarried lady is never allowed, under any possible cireninetances, to be a single moment in the company .of a gentleman, except in the presence of her mime, or some other matron relas nye. She is never suffered to ceoss, alone, the threshehold of her father's house, or the boarding school of which she is an inmate. She is, in effect, as much a prisoner as if formally under the charge of a keeper. Eves in the presence of her mamma, or the near relative who may be her guardian, she is expected to be exceedingly distant and reserved when in the society of men.

We regrot that ill health has prevon. ted us, for the last six weeks, from discussing this question, which note has such vital significance and is fraught I with such momentous consequences We trust trust that God will give us health,1 strength and wisdom to successfully combat that interest or ambition, which array -a itself to divide rnd distract a people at this time when the hazzards are so tremendous. We said in our last paper that old party issues are dead; the more we in- vestiga!e the stronger this conviction becomes. A vital_ issue must be one in which there is a respectable number opposing its adoption. To day there is almost an universal sentiment 'North in favor of the great underlying princi- ple of the Republican Party, that of re- sistance to the encroachments of the Slave Power, while South the people are arrayed with almost :as much una- nimity in opposition: 'l'hc ' overn- :uent of our fathers, far the entice ter- ritory , f the United States, or that of the Slane Oligarchy, is the only vital i -ane presented, and that there may be no misunderstanding, no other oeglit to be acknowledged. Until the Democratic Party Notch .lone:ted the \Vilmot Proviso, and Geu.1 Cass heti written and published his Nirbuleen Letter, at the bidding of the Slave Power, the necessity for the Re- piiblican organization slid not exist, but when this was done the danger to a FICO Government became imminent.— 'i o offset the evils to which p:u bean aul- 5icion was leading us, (renlenil,cr that I the Scarth hail the power of promotion i iti her wan halide.) the Itepuhlican Petty was :organized. Accomplishing this its mission was ended. Frain the time the rags Nicholson Letter was published, up to the nreetilc; of the Democratic National Conveiitiuu, at Cleo1,ton, the Northern lleinocrecy have blindly followed thu lad of tete South. At Charleston, the Fettles were r•'rici(-1t froth their eyes, and that beer (leiftli of iniqu.ty to which they could net go, 1505 hitt 111511. hero commons ceti tete ar•tivrc ltostilitiee le lti d have now ruhllinated in civil war—and here comae:beet the retrocede nteven:''Nit on the part of the Northern Democracy to get back to the position they occupied before the Cass Nicholson Letter was written --shall they be embarrassed in this commendable movement, merely to gratify pertisuno ambition ? No, the loynlidt and the patriot say Ne- gite ne the principles end the Government of our Fathers, and .political and en- taugiing dogmas, about party names may seek a burial among the frr•gotton tenths of the ('a'sars. The •[nertien whether civil war wo'd have followed hail Mr. Douglas been elected President, is one of doubt, but most certainly all the facts point toward that result. It was enough for the South to cngerder the bitterest enmity against their former allies the Northern Democracy, when they refused to do their bidding. The settlement of the Slavery question in the Territories, by the people thereof, was as distasteful to the Slave Power. as its prohibition by Congressional intervention? Tho po- sition that the Northern Democracy as- sumed after the Charleston Convention was one that the Slave Oligarchy would never have been satisfied with, until they had attempted to wipe it out with blood. The Northern Democracy must have backed down, or civil war been the consequence. Let7no man accuse his neighbor more than himself for the unhappy condition in which our coun- try is involved, it was inevitable unless we abandoned our principles, and base- ly surrender the dearest rights of Free- men. But old party issues are dead, and as very great stress is laid upon the pro- posed and so-called abandonment of Republicau Principles, let us give a moments to the consideration of that subject. At the present moment the terms Republican and Democrat North, is simply a distinction without a differ- ence. What is all this array of milita- ry throughout the land, but an armed resistance to the encroachments of the Slave Power? In the ranks all politi- cal creeds and opinions are represented. They fight against the aggressive spirit of the South, and to bring the Nation back to its original purity,. What more could the most prejudiced Re• publican ask?-apd yet more is asked.

Was ever prejudice stron- ger 1—was ever allies more shamefully treated. Prior to striking down the Missouri Compromise, very few, sand those without a name, were pledged to resist the encroachments of the Slave - Power. That event multiplied the numbers and distinguished that resist- ance with a name. The disgraceful scones, of the Charleston Convention added to the list, and finally the firing upon our National emblem at Feit Sumpter aroused the entire North, and forged the peaceful implements of hus- bandry, into the thunder -bolts of war to avenge the insnit. Old Part)' issues aro not only lead, but they are beyond resurrection. ',That man who expects to conic out of this contest finding things as they were bo- lero is doomed to be happily disap- pointed. if the North is successful the disturbing came is removed forever.— Luyalty and devotion to the principles established by the sword, will be the way to promotion the country over.— Ambitious men instead of courting the Slave -Power for erefermenc, will look to the free elonicut for places of dis- tinction and trust. On the contrary, if the Oligarchy is successful, separation endues, and tete Northern parapet, no longer have anything to do with the Slavery Question, or its propogandists. But again the cry is raised that compronticrs may be elected, and this struggle for niitionel existeneo shorn of its tnost glorious results. Have no fear ye timid suspicions prow.

Seed ought to selected under the eye of the cultivator; they ought to be pure and fresh and of the best quality. To bo sere they are such the man who grows the plant must see its seed mature. It is poor policy, besides a useless expense to run to the store every spring for seeds.— Then save your own seeds. Select the beat plant and bef ate it shall have the advantage of full maturity, remember- ing that like begets like. Let this course be pursued and we shall hear uo more complaints about poor seeds. 07'W: cannot but believe that the St Paul Press does great injustice to those citizens, who aro ondeavoriug to make patriotism paramount to party, by characterizing their movement as the No Party Party. Evidently the whole effort is to obviate all differences among the people until we shall have triumpher) over a wide -spread rebellion. The names of Horace It. Bigelow and James Gilfi!Ian, acknowledged to be two of the best mets in the State, is strong evidenco of the purity of the statements set forth. There are other good men in the movement, but these are remarkable, as never having been even tainted with the odium of an of, fice seeker. Read the' circular, and judge of the honesty of the motive. If the Press will insist on a name for those men whose love of conntry is above all other considerations,. let it be "Patriotism Agatnst Party." The Press ought to know that,it is not for the likes of it to impugn the motive` of such mon as we have mentioned. pj-Trne men hold their duty to their countrtreentitronly to that of Brod.-- From Vanity Fair.

PAUL, August 13. DEIP.STR:—It is thought by many, indeed, by all who have a higher regard 1'nr country than for party, that the great peril in which our country is placed, by an unholy rebellion against the Government, demands, for the time, cessation of former party divise ions and wrangling, and calls for united energies and action of all loyal citizens supporting and strengthening the law- fully constituted authorities in their of forts to overcome and subdue the re- bellion and maintain tho integrity of the Constitution and the Union. Act. ing upon this idba, a call has been is- sued by a largo number of citizens of both political parties, for the asseme blage of a State Convention, in the hope of effecting the purpose desired, in this State—a copy of which call we herewith enclose you. At a meeting of these friendly to such a movement, held in this city on the 7th inst., the undersigned were ap- pointed a committee to correspond with parsons in other parts of the State: make known the object of the move- ment, and urge upon all the propriety of forgetting past differences, and uni ting to rescue our country from im- pending destruction. We desire there- fore to call your attention to this movement, in the hope that you, and all loyal citizens, will see the propriety of uniting to banish those divisions and dissentious among us, which politicians would keep up for their own advantage, and which, if kept up, will afford so much encouragement to our common enemy. In order that there may be no misunderstanding in the matter, we will state that it- is not contemplated that Democrats or Republicans shall yield any of the principles for which they have heretofore c ntended, in join- ing in this movement. - It is not pro- posed tp consider or define a line of policy with reference to any of the questions that have heretofore divided parties. The object is, a Union of all patriots for a vigorous prosecution. of the war, `until the rebellion shall be un- conditionally subdued, andtheianthor- ity of the government re-estMblished in all of the States—and to this end alone. The supporters of this movement ben lieve that the war should not be pros - cowed for the'pnrpbse, of wilt & view, of preserving, et' overthrowing the 'in- stitution of stavory in any of the States. In the langnage of the resole - lion which passed the House of Rep- resentatives at Washington at the extra session of Congress just concluded with but two dissenting votes—they hold that the present d3plorable civil war has been forced upon the country by the disunionists of the Southern States now in revolt against the cons stitntional government and in arms around. the Capital; that this national emergency Congress, banishing all feeling of mere passion or resentment, will recollect only its duty to the whole country;; that this war is not waged upon our parr in any s isit of op- pression, not for any pur ose of cone nest or eub'u' anon nor or , t q J J , its pure pose of overthrowing r interfering with the rights or estab: eltsst institu- tions of those States; bete defend and maintain the supremacy of the Con- stitution and tu, preserve the Union with all tins dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired; that as soon as these objects aro ac- complished the war ought to cease The call is addressed to all who ate willing to support with all their power the Federal Administration in the pros- ecution of the war, for the purposes, and upon the policy expressed in the above resolution. The motives which have actuated the signers of this cal: are obvious. Tho rebellion has assum- ed such proportions, as to require the whole strength of the government, back- ed by the hearty and unanimous sup- port of the entire people of the loyal States to suppress it. Opposition by any considerable body of citizens in those, or evon a hesitating or grudging support, would not only weaken the hands of the -government, but must strengthen, by furnishing encourage- ment to, those engaged in the rebellion Every symptom of division among onr selves. or of party opposition to the Administration, is aagerly watched and confidently counted on by tho rebels, as tending to aid theta in their unholy designs. It is of the utmost impor- tance, therefore, that the people be not only unanimous but hearty, deter- mined and unquestioning in their sup. port of the government, in the use of all its energies, all its powers, and all its means, in the prosecution of this contest. Surely none can fail to see that while this war ]sits, all lesser mat• ters and issues must be merged in the ono great issue—tho issue between loy- al melt and traitors—between those who are determined 'that the Union shill be preserved at what whatever cost and those who seek its destrncti-,., —it is tho simple issue of national life or death. Tho.issnes upon which par. ty lines have heretofore been drawn cannot occupy the public mind in the presence of this one; an l there can be no question of principle or policy to di- vide the people, except as it relates to this ono issue. The ocettsion for a di• vision of onr citizens into Democrats and Republicans Is consequently for tho present entirely wanting, and they must divide, if nt all, solely upon the question of the war. The people of the northern States have already proved their great una- nimity upon this question, and even if party nominations shall bo ►nade, all, or nearly all, of both parties will, doubtless, at first, unhesitatingly favor a vigorous war policy. This war, how- ever, must be conducted by the present administration, and must postpone• the consideration of .all other questions while it continues, and there is danger that in the heat of party strife, when every occasion Is sought and moulded to suit party exigencies, men may in' sensibly drift into opposition to the administration; or if not into open and positive opposition, into such cold and questioning support as to seriously im• pair the strength of the government, and to furnish to the rebels the aid and comfort, the hope, they are constantly and anxiously looking for from diseen- siona among the people of the loyal Votes. It is not proposed by this movement to create a third party, but it is hoped that a Psorr.S's UNION may be formed for the purpose expressed in the call, which shall gather such impetus acid strength, by the day for which the con- vention is:called, as to induce the pres- ent political parties to omit party nom- inations. If yon favor the object of the move- ment it is belied yon circulate the call for signers in your county, and co ope- rate with others in effecting county and township organizations, and in electing delegates te the convention. bothe selection of delegates we wo'd suggest that they be chosen, so far as may be, in equal numbers from the Re- publican and Democratic parties.

There never was a people that rush- ed so rapidly to the conclusion that tbe argument rf once was the great solvent and settler of disputes as our American brethren. See New York now ,just recollect what it was towards the close of last March. Sumter cannot have made all these banners, filled all these streets with soldiers, changed the Lau- dicians into phrenzied Unionists, and shut the mouths of the disaffected. -- People who argued philosophically abort the right of secession and the im- potency of the Federal Government to ristrain States front exorcising that right, have all of a sudden begun to find out "Wo most maintain our glori- ous Union! We must have a country." and they go off int t sophistical ergu menta on the other side about the Miss- issippi and unity of peoples and polit- ical necessities. Had yon always hell this language, good gentlemen, you plight never have had this present contest. You strength- ened the hands of the secessionists,just as you weakened the hands of the U. S. government, by the indifference or actual hostility to ice measures which you dieplayed when it most required support. One halt' of the indignation, one half of the stronght you exhibited after Sumter hod fallen, might have prevented its ever being attacked.— Why are the southerners so touch more itritatod against New York than any other part of the Union bit because, in their own wards, 'she deceived us at the last moment? Up to the taking of Sumter she pretended to be friendly, and then, when that happened which she seemed to approve, she turns on us more savagely that even the Black Re publicans. lu-fact, though the gov- ernment may not now wish to recall the .circumstances, the tone of the north in refferenco to vital points in policy must have perplexed it almost as much as the hostility of the secessionsits. It is all very well to talk of the out- rage on the flee, but before Sumter was fired on, the flag had been exposed to inenite n,fti-ic,st. f,, was 1:n..1,0 stop by force from United Sates arsenals. 'Phe Star of the West carried it as tuna as Maj. Anderson's command, and she was fired on; ono shot as a cants Lcllli or causo Lalli is as good as twenty. Why, when 1 arrived in the United Stator the newspapers were treating of the surrender of Sumter as an abstract question, and the head- ings about it and Pickens barely ex- cited alanguid curiosity in the minds of many men, and northern ,journals, not merely in Now Yorlt, but in Penn, svlvania and other States,, seriously warned the government that if they at. tempted to hold the one or reonforce the other they would be responsible for the the destruction of the Union which at the time was manifestly destroyed. Ilow the tong ie changed now! I can recognize no reason for the change in events, bnt I can understand that be- hind all this snrfaoe show—this var. nish•coating which pretended to reflect public opinion—there was a solid, deep and powerfnl mass, inert, however, and needing strong excitement to set it in ehotion, %vhieh only began to heave upwards and burst throngh the glaze when heated by the news that the stays and stripes had been shot away by rebel bullets. This mass is now nt work iu carne3t. It is rolling over the land in lava streams. It may be that if en attempt he made to check it the rod hot floods will agein.brenk through tate official crust. While Mr. Seward, with the modest confidence which distinguishes his vaticinations, was prophesying that the 'policy' of the government would win back the rebel States at the rata of one a month, not only were the seced- ed States preparing to hold their own in the course of secession more strong- ly than ever, bnt the northern States were beginning to agitate the question at issue in a manner which might have inspired one with doubt as to a -peace- ful issue. It is not improbable that up to the moment of the fall of Sumter there were in the Cabinet at Washings ton statesmen who thought they could patch up the quarrel, RIE1 unite north and south by running Canada as a drag scent ender their noses. indeed it would be an agreeable result if the 250,000 northern troops noiv in the field could be united with the sonthern forces in a common rail on British North Anierica and on the - Spanish possessions.

You had the right opinion then, aud if men who have nothing else to commend alone bnt the tdacity with . whicli they fol. low an obsolete idea, have succeeded in supplanting them, God pity yoir, for these partisans will not, and lead you back to the veneration, and supplest of your first conviction of dnty when this war was sprung upon no. Thus shall we escape numberlees evils; the people loyal and united shall not be distracted by partisan strife, while the army stim- ulated by Go harmony at holm, will cease its dissentions and march forward to victory. KENTUCKY AP.MING FOR THE UNION. —The following extract from a letter to a enereautile house in Philadelphia, dated Danville, Kentucky, Aug. 7th, shows that the State is rapidly prepar- ing to do her full duty to the Union: I presume that you are satisfied that Kentucky will remain loyal to the Une ion. We aro now raising volunteers for Uncle Sam, and there is a very large encampment at Hoskins' Cross Roads, seven and a half miles from this place. Capt. Fry has been rnade Colonel of one regiment, Judge Bram- let is Colonel of the second regiment, and — Woodruff is Colonel of a caval- ry regiment, which came from Crab Orchard. F.vo hundred of them pass- ed through this place yesterday, and the remaining five hundred are to come throngh here to morrow, on their way to Camp Robertson, at the Cross Roads. A TOUCHING INCIDENT.—A letter from Atlanta, Geolgia, gives this inci- dent of the battle:at Stone Bridge: A staff officer from Charleston, en- gaged in the battle of the 2Ist of July, says: I rode ont the day after the battle to view the ground, and paesed piles of deal in varions positiens. Under is large tree I saw a body lying, very handsomely dressed, with is fancy sword, and a handkerchief over his face. It attracted my cnriosity. I stopped, and removed the hand- kerchief, and saw ono of the handsorn• est faces I ever met with, of a boy not more thau twelve or fifteen years old. Ilis appearance and dress indicated high social position; probably he was tem- porary aid t3 some general officer. To ascertain who he was, I examined his pockets, and found a testament in which was written: "James Simmons, New York. From his loving mother. My son, remember thy Crearor in the days of tiay youth." I wished very much to take the body away, but I was six miles from quar- ters, on horseback, and it was impossie ble. 'There 8001110 to he something signifi• cant in the following from the Rich- mond correspondence of the Charles ton Mercury: 'The government se.ems zealously to conceal everything from the public here. Up to this date— the 4th—since the fight, no report is made of the wonnd- ed or dead; nor will they allow those who have sons and brothers at Maness sas to go and ascertain their fate, and administer to their necessities if woUnd- ed. All WC learn is from the newspa- pore, which obtain their information chiefly from the wounded who are brought here. The death of Colonel Fisher, of North Carolina, was not known until his body arrived, on its way to North Carolina. DROWNED.—Dan. Rice's Rhino owes was knocked from the barge into the river, by coming in contact with the Key City, and went to the bottom of Go river, This pet lamb is valued at 20,000 dollars, and the prospect for a law suit to recover its value from tho Minnesota Packet Company are ex- tremely flattering. PREMICE TO MAGOFFIN. The Louisville journal, rather adds -‘inenit to iojury" in reminding Gov. Mageffin that a Union Legislature has just been elected in that State,' and that he will be speedily called to ren- der an account of his stewardship.— The Journal addresses the Governor is follows: Well, Governor, are you ready to meet the Union Legislature which) the people of Kentucky send to the Capi- tal as the organ of tbeir will? Have you recovered that Montgomery corres- pondence? Can you have ready for the examination of the Legislature all your correspondence with the defunct Governor of Missouri, and Governor Harris of Tennessee? Are you pre. pared to account for the repeated in- sults of Tennessee and secessionists generally, to which you have tamely submitted. What about the arms you have per- mitted your neighbors from Tennessee to steal from the 'sacred soil' of Ken- tucky? You certainly were not afraid to fight Tennessee, when you were so valorous for fighting the United States! Set your house in order, Governor, get She account of your stewardship ready, for Kentucky intends to call you to a reckoning. The authorities of Missou- ri have Bethel with your colleague, Claiborne Jeckson, and an outraged people now demand an investigation of your condact. The feeling is gener- al that it is no fault of yours that tbe State of Kentucky is not reeking with the horrors of war. Are you ready to render your accounts, to have yourself weighed in the scales of impartial jus. rice, and true deliverance made? If Kentucky should distuies you from her employment, where will you go?— Jeff Davis does not want you, unless you. can carry Kentucky %nth you, and you will have to tell him she will not come. GEN. PRICE, rebel general in Mis- souri, has issued a proclamation to the people of that Stato from Springfield. Jackson and Price seem to do most of their fighting by proclamations; but still they are unable to grapple with the loyalty of that S.ate, and she is yet true notwithstanding their efforts to drew her into the vortex of secession. • THE LAMENTED Ge.x. LYON —The St. Louis Democrat says of him: In the shorfinterview which he held with Price and Jackson, his acute, dia. cerping mind read all that the public has since read of those persons in doc- uments which have been given to the world. His honor, as a Wittier, dear to him as the ruddy drops that visited his heart, was never tarnished. His private reputation was stainless as the snow duke that has not touched the earth. His death was glorions—lead- ing his column against the foe, and shouting a charge for his victorious warriors Not 'Wolfe—not Moutgotro ery—not Pike—fell more nobly, nor covered his name with a wore imper- ishable renown. We cannot forbear to add to this brief sketch of this gallant patriot soldier, who now reposes on Go western slope of the Ozer k range, in a siert) so profound that nothing but the archangel's trump ellen ever break it again, the painful suggestion that in his valuable services here, lie was not sustained by.his Government. He was constantly compelled to do harder duty and more of it, than was fair. His battle was foeght against most fearful odds. Left to contend with more than thrice the nnmber of his own foree, he did not fail to do a sollier's duv.— His own life was, perhaps necessary to the victory which hat,„been won. And he offerel up that life without a mur- n3ur upon, the altar of hie country. inr The Richmond Whig philoso- phises since the Bull Run fight more than ever upon the duty of the ruling class, that is, the slave holder. He is to dictate to the mechanic with is rod of iron, gridtling him to the po- sition that they have so long contended, that labor should occupy that of ab- ject slavery. WISCONSIN RANKI.—The Bank Comptroller of Wisconsin has made a report, dated Angust Lit, of the semi, rities of the Wisconsin banks, from which it appears that of 48 of the nnmber, the securitiee are estimated equal to their circulation. A number have changed their securities by sub- stituting Wisconsin and other Northern stocks in place of Southern. Upon the face of the report everything appears fair, and many would question why our bankers will not receive it at par; but when we look at the prices affixed to the value of the bonds deposited, we find the rate is from 15 to 25 cent. higher than they would sell in New York or any other stock market at the present tirne. When Wisconsin cur- rency will purchase gold at less than three per cent. premium it will answer to pass as current By Milwaukee pa- pers gold is quated at 7+ per cent. pre- tnium. Notwithstanding the above it is p0! - icy for the people of this State to look on the entire batch of Wisconsin bank issues with distrust. We have con- siderable gold and eastern currency in this State now, aud it is well to main- tain the same healthy circulating me- dium. RIGIDITY OP DISCIPLINE.—An in- stance occutrel in Washington. Friday evening, showing the unreleeting vlgor of the discipline now being. enforced. Major Worth, of the reguler army, was met by the infantry patrol, who de- manded to see his pass. Being unable to show the necessary document, the officer of the patrol told him he must arrest him. Major Worth significant- ly rolled up his sleeves, and said "he proposed to discuss that." The officer very cooly told him he must discuss it elsewhere, and forthwith made him march off with the file. That looks like discipline, such as we need when we are assailed by a foreign foe, how much more necessary is it now that we are contending against an intestine foe. THE PIRATES DISCOURAGED.—The Philadelphia Press contains the fol- lowing statement: "One of the most intelligent men rescued from the Petrel says that it is acknowledged now that they will soon be compelled to entirely abandon their privateering scheme. They have but very few vessels that they can fit out, and all their attempts to do so are crippled by Go want of proper ma- chinery; and even when they get to sea and are successful, they can expect to reap but little profit, because all foreign ports are closed against them, and when they attempt to send their prizes home, there is a along proba- bility that they will be captured by the cruisers of our Government. lie says Ge crew of the Jeff. Dsvis intended at capturing a few more prizes, and send- ing them home as best they could, to run their ship hshore somewhere on the coast of British America, and en- deavor to reach the South overland. GEN. HEINTZLEMAN'S REPORT. CONDITION OF ST. LOUIS THAT RENDERED NECESSARY MAR TIAL LAW. We copy the following extract from the official report of Gen. Heintzleman, of the movements of his Brigade du- ring the engagement at Bull's Run: Between two and three miles beyond Centreville we left the Warrenton turn- pike, turning isto is country road on the right. Capt. Wright accompanied the head of Col Hunter's column, with directions to stop at a road which turn- ed in to the left to a ford across Bull's Run, about half wav between the point where we turned off from the turnpike and Sudley's Springs, at which latter point Col. Hunter's division was to cross. No such road was found to ex- ist, and about 11 A. et , we found our, selves at Sudley's Springs about ten miles from Centreville, with one brig- ade of Col. Hunter's division still on our side of the Run. Before reaching this point the battle had commenced. We could see the smoke rising on our left from two points,a mile or two apart. Two clouds of dust were seen, showing the advance of troops from the direcs tion of Manassas. At Sudley's Springs, whilst waiting the passage of the troops of the divis • ion in our front, I ordered forward the first brigade to fill their canteens. Be- fore this was accomplished, the leading regiments of Col. Hunter's division be- come engaged. Gen. McDowell, who, accompanied by his staff, had passed ns a short time before, seut back Capt. Wright of the engineers, and Major McDowell, one of his aids, with orders to send forward two regiments tit pre- vent the enemy from outflanking them. Capt. Wright lel forward the Mins nesota regiment to the left of the road, which crossed the run at this point.— Major McDowell led the Ilth Massa, chusetts up the road. I accompanied this regiment, leaving orders for the remainder to follow, with the exception of Arnold's battery, which, supported by the first Michigan, was posted a lit-. tle below the crossing of the run as a reserve. At a little more thana tnile from the ford we catue upon the battle field. Ricket's battery was posted on a hill to the right of Runter's division and to the right of the road. After firing some twenty minates at a battery of the enemy, placed just beyond the crest of is hill, on their entrance left, the dis• tance being considered too great, it was moved forward to within about one thousand feet of the enemy's battery. -- Here the battery was exposed to a heavy fire of musketry, which soon disabled it. Fiauldin s brigade was placed on the right of the woods, near the center of our lino and on ground tieing towards the eueray's position In the mean time I sent orders for the Zeoaves to move foment to sup port Ricket's battery on the debt. As soon as they came up I led them forward against an Alabama regimeut, partly concealed in a clump of small pines in an old field. At the first file they broke and the greater portion of them fled to the rear, keeping up a de sultory &Mg over the heals of their comrade in frout; at the same time they were charged by a eetnpany else session cavalry on thew Isar, who canto by a road through two strips of woods on our right. 'Ile tire of the Zouaves killed four end weuudecl one, dispers- ing them. The discomfiture of this cavalry was completed by' a fire from Capt. Collunfe company of U. S. cav- alry, which fiiie killed and wounded several mere Cul. Farnham, with some of his officers and men, behaved gal- lantly; but the regiment of Zouaves, as a regiment, did uot appear again on the field. Many of the men joined oth- er regiments and did good service as skirmishers. I led up the Minnesota regiment, which was also repulsed, but retired in good order. It did good service in the woods on our right flank, and was among the last to retire, moving off the field with the Third U.S. Iufantry. Next was led forward the First Mich- igan, which was also repulsed, and re- tired in conaiderable confusion. They were rallied and helped to hold the woods on our right. The Brooklyn Fourteenth then appesred on the field, coming forward iu gallant style. I led them forward to the left where the Al- abama r.liment had been posted in the early part of the action, but had now disappeared, but soon carne in sight of the lino of the enemy drawn up beyond the clump of trees. Soon after the firing commenced the regiment broke and ran I considered it useless to at- tempt to ral'y them. The want of discipline in these regituents was so great that most of the mon would run trom fifty to seven hundred yards in the rear, and contiuue to fire—fortune- ately fot the brave ones—very high in the air and compelling those in front to retreat. - - Taz RESULT IN KENTUCKY.—A pri- vate letter from Kentucky states that the new Legislature, recently elected, will.consist of eighty Union men out of one hundred members of the House, and twenty-eight Union Senators out of thirty -eight --the total number of States Senators. Well done, Ken- tucky! This will give the Union men clear two-thirds majorities in both Houses, and on joint ballot of both Houses, and enable them to take such measures as will relieve the State from the pronto of rebel authorities. Tn. &on/Lam—From all NIMES we hear complaints that the blockade of Southern ports is not as efficient as desirable. .At Wilmington, Biauford and other points in North Carolina it is not effective. Government will rem- edy this, and place such vessels on the seas as will make the blockade com- plete. Veasels are coming home frotn the foreign seas and entering the block- ading Benin& The following, from the Saint Louis correspondence of the Chicago Tribune, under date of the 12th hist, shows the state of things immediately preceding the establishment of martial law: Since my last, St. Louis has passed through constant and daily scenes of excitement. With -some forty thous sand troops, hostile tog.he Government, within the boundaries of the State, and hourly threatning to strike at exposed portions, and with traitors at secret work constantly and unremittingly within the city itself, the people have been kept in a state ot uncertainty and anxiety far frorn pleasant. Late devel- opments have taken place which show the existence of a secret league within St. Louis, whose object it is to aid in overthrowing the goverment and driv- ing out the Union men. That they have arms hidden and are actively pre. paring themselves for any opportunity that may offer, there is no doubt. -- Where their place of meeting is, and where the arms are secreted, is yet a profound mystery. The Home Guards have been actively on the alert, and almost daily the houses of suspected parties are searched, but so far, without success. Now, however, is large nums ber of Union citizens have taken the matter in hand, and satisfactory results may be anticipated. The vigilance committee is divided up into different parties, consieting of about half a doz- en in each, whose duty it is in a certain portion of the city allotted to them, to find out the names of all secessionists, and by keeping as strict a watch as possible upen them, discover their mos tives and acts. By so doing they hope to be yet able to bring them all to jus- tice, aud effectually thwart their trait- orous designs. When Camp -Jackson was captured, 800 stand of arms were found to have been carried away and secreted, and all efforts to discover them have thus far proved unavailing. These have been stea lily added to over eine«) by the secessionists, so it is thought that over two thousand muskets are at the disposal of as many rebels, who are watching eagerly for a chance to turn them agaiust the government. There is every prospect, however, that the guilty echeinere will soon be brought to justice, and St. Louis ritl of 'nen who have disgraced her feme and aided in involving the State in bloody civil war. Among the most promineet of these secession abettors is J. S Brownlee, the heal of the Metropolitan Police of this city. Being gifted with about equal amounts of cunning end treason, be has boot able, until e few Jays since, to cover a traitor's heart beneath a plausible exterior. The late expose of the villainous duplicity of Gen. Frost, and the publication of his letter to Gov. Jaekson suggesting the assembling of a camp near this city, aud other secession measures, with the name of Brownlee appended in full as endorsor awl sympathiser, has unex- pectedly and completely removed the veil from the aetions of this precioue head of the police, and censed hint to appear in his true light. — -------- LATEST NEWS. CAIRO, Aug. 20.—A battle was fought last night at 12 o'clock at at Charleston between federal forces, about 260 strong of 22d • Illinois regi- ment, under command of Col.

RAMSEY SPEAKS TO THE GER- MAN VOLUNTEF.RS.—After a flmg pre,,eu- tation to the German cotnpany, under Capt. Keifer, the command visited the Governor at his rooms in the capitol, where that public functionary received them in the following neat, pattiotic and appropriate speech: Someteas:—The 0111100 that Ott I ist your patriotic devotion, is not of this day only or for this country alone. You rightly appreciate it as au effort on the part of the selfish atistocracy of Go South to destroy liberal govern, tnent here, and to sap and destroy it evet ywh ere. Hence, my friends, the immense im- portance of this etruggle. It free Republican institutions are crushed out in America, the cause of freedom suffers in every land tho sun shine upon. And who at this critical periol in Go life of our great cause, can be more appropriately called upoa to defend our flag—the flag of liberty, than you, our German fellow citizens? Your race, from the earliest ages, when not coerc- ed by superior power were tho defend- ers of liberty, and the terror of tyrants. Yes, my friends, we owe it to the memory of onr ancestors who laid the foundation of the government; we owe it to our posterity; we owe it to the op- pressed but hopeful races of men every where, to fight this fight to a triumph, ant success though it be through oceans ' of blood. Captain Keifer, we admire the enere gy which carried you through in your effort to combine this fine Company— we feel that in the career that is open to you, you will have in your eye, your noble and distinguished countryman, General Siegel, and emulating his great military virtues, will bring honor upon yourself, upon your company, and up, on ter, your townsmen, and returning when the good fight has been fought, from the field of your atruggles, we shall bind the victor's wreath- about your and your soldiers' brows. Soldiers! may you all be inspired by the symbol of our national flag, and let them who fell be encouraged by the fact that they fight for liberty and the Union. Soldiers, be courageous, and believe that our sympathies are with you on the field of honor. VIYANDIERE OF THE FIFTH WISCONSIN REGIMENT.—The Miss Wilson referred to below, is a sister of T. B. Wilson. Esq., of Reed's Landing: Miss Eliza T. Wilson is the Vivan• diem of our Wisconsin Fifth. Site is a fine appearing, intelligent young lady, daughter of the Hon. William Wilson, of Menominee, Dunn county, a man of wealth, and formerly a member of our State Senate. Miss Wilson has her fe- male servant and her tent, and pro- vides eirerything needful for herself and attemient at her own expense. It is her province as Vivandiere to take po- sition at the head of the regiment on all occasions of parade, when she ap- pears to fine advantage, in a neat uni- form, a sort of a Zouave jacket, awl a cap and a feather. It is expected of her to assuage the thirst of the dying and the wounded on the field of battle, and she is regarded as a sort of guar- dian angel of the regiment. All honor to the Vivandiere of the Fifth. May ebe return, from the wars with honors thickly clustered around her fair brow. —Madison Patriot.

Dated Hastings, August 6th, 18G1. HENRY IBLA'l'TNER, Assignee. CROSBY & PRESTON, Atty's for Assignee. A 'l'RF.AT.—On 'Tuesday last out of the munificence of Mr. Bissell, of Pine Bend, we made one of a dozen that de- voured a lot of delicioes melons. One of the musk melons weighed 13,} hounds, a mammoth, and juicy and' rich its it looked. A BINnEn —Wo learn that a ma• chino for binding grain has been tried pretty thoroughly iu this vicinity du- ring the last week, and it is spoken of • in pretty high terms by those who have witnessed its operation. We believe � that a gnachino of that character will prove a success and that it will bo uni- versally adopted in a very few years. Fnrtra AND FLOWERS.—We notice that ,lir. II. Tuttle,. agent for the Mil- waukee nurseries, is in this vicinity, soliciting orders•: for shrubbery, trees rind tloaery. His flowerg are admira- bly adapted for transplanting here, hav- ing been grown near Milwaukee, where the climate is about the same as it is hire. Mr. Tuttle has supplied several of (inr citizens with shrubbery hereto- fore and they have given entire satisfac- tion. Igo will remain here for a few days, during which time those who want fruits, shrubbery or fluters will call on him. MAJOR LICE.—'Phis populor officer passed through this city on his way to his home in Furibauh on Monday last. 110 is hale and hearty and as full of humor, as hie gcni tl face w.,u1 1 cate. lie it off on furlongb, and re- turns to iris regiment in a short time. IIe thinks there will be no great en- gagement in Virginia very anon. MARVIN'S NEW BRICE BUIi.Dlso.— 'Che walls of this building are up, and the work of rooliug, plastering and fin- ishing will bo pushed forward rapidly. Mr. Marvin expects to be located there with his Drug Store ss early as the Ist of October. Rr.v. T. R. CREBSKT.—Wo noticed this gentleman, Chaplain of the Second Regiment of Minnesota Volunteers, in our city on yesterday. Ile is looking in excellent health, and seems delighted With the camp. We understood he is n.pt loth to undergo the fatigues of the drill, and from what we know of his spirit we would not be surprised if when his regiment gets into battle he might conclude that the best way to serve God would be to kill off the en- emies of civil government. • FAVORS.—We are indebted to 0. S. Taylor, Hardware Dealer in this city, tor a nice fry of prairie chickens. We picked the bones this morning [not Tay- lor's bones, but the chicken,s] and smacked our lips over the delicious re- past, blessing our stare that our lot was cast in a country that abounds in such luxuries. — Hat s. On yesterday we noticed tho shipment of a large number of hides on board the steamer Milwaukee, by F. B. Curtiss, of this city. The shipment of hides is quite an item in our commerce. BUSINEAs.—Bnsineas begins to flow back into the city since harvest. Teams and men begin to give the city quite a Direly air again. HASTINGS LIMIT GUARDS.—This mil- itary company has fully organized by the election of its officers and the adop- tion of a constitution, and now steps are being taken to procure the uniform and arms. Tho uniform is to be a gray shirt and pants, trimmed with black, with gray fatigue cap. The arms aro to be the best the State will furnish. Mark time; march! Indeed, we be- gin to think we can congratulate the city upon having a good military corn.. pang. The Stella Whipple, the steamboat building in this city, is nearly ready to cast loose her 'floorings and embark in the commerce of the State. She will prove an excellent low water boat. WooL.—On yesterday we noticed another large ld'ad of wool in the city, brought in by Mr. Ellsworth, of Can- non Falls. The sheep that were bro't into this State last year, begin to tell already on the export of wool from Minnesota. Air We did'n g to see the magic lantern on Tuesday evening last. The country is unmercifully bored semi. occasionally by these intensely blue and red paintings. STATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF DAKOTA, 00. Probate Court.

They fight a battle in West- ern Virginia, which determines the fate of a district at the expense of less than a score of casualties, and a great stand battle is fought between 50,000 men, ending in a panic and a twenty mile run; and when the"Grand Army of the Potomac" reaches Alexandria, the New York Herald reports that "the killed and wounded on our aide will be between three and five hundred." If they have only lost between three and five hundred men, it seems to ns to be a very cheep lesson. See what they have gained by it. They have found out now that the fpirit of patriotism, and even the instinct of combat does not prevent Northern volunteers from going off in a body, under pretence of their time being up, although the morning of the combamay be come. and the cannons may be sounding in their ears. They have found out also that even a Northern army can, with - t eroperly punish traitors. We did not underestimate this effort to suppress the Government, when the attack was first . made, and we have sen no reason to change our mind. We believed then, as we do now that the beat blood of the nation would fi tw before this difficulty 1 would be herded. We felt then the impediments whieli would be iuterpos- t ed to prevent the harmonizing of party creeds to the one great issue, the pres- f ervation of the Union, and the perpetu- ity of the Government, and we feel them the more now. As a citizen and patriot w3 laid down partisan feelings on the altar of our country and we have no disposition to take them up now.—. In these representations we express the convictions of a large class who have heretsrsure I'bored with the Republicans as well as patriotic c itizens of every creed and order. It is in the power of tho Republicans who are to meet at St. Paul on the 4th of September to unite the whole people upon a common platform for the preservation of the Union, or scat - r the people where the bitterest strifes ill be engendered. To attempt to reserve tho individuality of the Re- ublican party will prove disastrous.— o subdue the prejudice of others, wo list first subdue our own. It would e worse than madness to ask Demo- ats to forsake their organization, bile their old enemy keep their arms nrnishcd and are even charging under eir old standard.

As I heard the story, it amounts to this:— Ever since the dashing service bis reg- iment did at Bull Run, some few of his men found they might have more chances to make a dash, and have got scared. They have contributed a purse of sufficient size to tempt some of these shysters, or "sea lawyers," to make up a case; and a certain printer was made to cut rather a bad figure by standing as the figura head to the suit. A writ of habeas corpus was granted by judge Wayne of the United States Supreme Court to bring the printer ine to tho city. Col. Gorman would not give him up; and was then himself waited upon by the United States Mar sial with a writ for contempt of Court.

From the London Telegraph. The battle of Bull Run was a battle which, if second to Magenta or to Sol- ferino in actual slaughter, was narked with more envenomed hostility. The dominant feeling in England in this unhappy quarrel is one of unfeigned and bitter sorrow. If Americans labor for one moment under the impression that the successes or reverses of one or the other section of the combatants will awaken anything like partisan feeling in this country, they are most grievously n-istaken. well the passions of the people by par- san strife.

The officers of the regiment were recently sent to Pittsburg, Pa., to establish the depot, and commence enlisting. They say that success has attended their ef- forts thus far. The commander is Col. Hunter, of Illinois, whose appoint- ment to a Brigadier Generalship we no- ticed some time since. As it will be some months before the two battalions of the Third can be raised, Gen. Hunter will not be required to remain idle un- til that time. Breckenridge had a pots -wow at Har- rodsburg, Ky., on the 22d inst. It is time that the government provided quarters for Breckenridge and his con- federates free of charge. Their har- angues, if they do not affect the loyal heart of Kentuckians, `strengthen and excite the traitors to deeds of blood. INSGRRECT1oNe.—It i8 said that great fears are entertained that the servile race in North Ccrolina will rise and overrun the inhabitants, now greatly depleted by the presence of her fighting men in Virginia in arms against the government, which alone can secure the owners from the horrors that would follow such an insurrection. •-e The London Globe denies that Ads miral Milne has reported the blockade of tho Southern ports is ineffective. INDIAN EXCITEMENT.—The excite- ment by reported depredations and murders by Indiansin Wisconsin have but very little foundation. Some members of a family in the region of Horicon killed a pony belonging to Indians, whereupon the Indians took revenge, it is reported, and killed the family. When this story is reduced down it will probably be understood that somebody had a bad scare. LATEST NEWS.

The secessionist threatened to shoot her with a revolver he pre- sented, if she did not give him the gun. She refused, and, watching the oppor- tunity, caught up a heavy corn knife, and with it clove his skull, killing h m instantly. Afterwards a number of his comrads, who were prowling about the premises at the time, came np and carried the body away. Mr. Glover and his family have since been driven from their home, and are now in Illi- nois. a' WASHiNQTON, Aug. 26.—Yesterday the 25th N. Y. regiment, Col.

They had no sooner done so than the enemy, who has a battery in range, throw fit te_'n shells into the new camp, causing them to take a rear position. It was subsequently ascertained that the rebel battery consists of nine guns of large and improved calibre, and can reach the fortifications ou the Union side. It is reported that the rebels at Lees- burg, where their force is now eetinea- ted at 15.000, have taken two of the engines of the London and New Hemp shire R.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—Throngb the agency of some traitor the plan of McClellan for making a reconnoisance in force of infantry, cavalry, and artill- ery, which might have resulted in cut- ting off the rebels from this side of Fairfax, was betrayed to the enemy.— Hence their sudden stampede. Letters from Eset Tennessee speak of great rebel force at Catnp Boon, near Clarksville, the headquarters of the K. G. O. Their plan is, after getting 10,000 men, to lay the country waste from Cumberland Gap through East Ten- nessee and Kentucky to the Ohio River, anti along that to Pennsylvania. The whole force not to move together, but divide into small marauding parties. Being apprehensive of an attack on Tompkinsville, 'Penn , Col. Dorris col• lectotf neatly 2,000 Unionists, secured the State arms for them, and awaited the rebels, but they disappointed him. INDIAN DIFFICULTIES.•—rile latest news that we have from the "Great Wisconsin Indian Scare” is the follow- ing, under date of Oshkosh, August 27th: A squad of Menominee warriors with faces painted passed through this city at 4 o'clock i'. M-, supposed to be on their way to Horicon to reinforce their brethren in that place. As all our available force is now at the seat of war, it was thought best on consultation not to interfere, but let them pass to their destination. They will be at Fon du Lac at noon. We are anxious to know the result of the expedition. The above is vouched for by tele- graph operatior at Algona. The Sioux and Chippewas had a lit- tle fight on Crow River, a few miles above Forrest City, on Sunday, August 11th. A party of Sioux fired upon the Chippewas from an ambuscade, as they were paddling their canoes along the river, killing two, the balance of the Chippewss took to the woods, and the Sioux fell back to their en- campments, to revel over the victory, and repeat their barbarous orgies over the heads and scalps of their slain en- emies. The Sioux and Cbippewas have been at war since they were first known to the white race, and we are satisfied that it would prove a great satisfaction to antiquarians if Govern- ment would let them fight till they were willing to tell what they were fighting about. u• .r Orders anti Goods, left at Mrs. F.

Mr. Gilman being called upon, ad- dressed the Convention in substance as foil )ws: I was not aware that I should be called npon to address this Convention, and do not think I can say anything that will prove instructive or entcrtaiu- ing. In attempting to get the people to sink patyism in patriotism, and unite without reference to past divis ions, to save our country from destruct- ion, I am aware of the difficulties to be encountered. I can fully appreci- ate the strength of the ties that bind igen to party. We all know how apt wo aro to bo influenced by party as- sociatioss, party sympathy, party Iikcs, dislikes, hates and prejudices. We know how excee,lingly difficult it is to break loose from those ties and act wholly independent and uninfluenced by them. I suppose that I have al- ways been as mush of a partisan, and have had as much faith in the virtue of my party principles, as any other roan. And yet I believe it to bo nay duty and duty of every loyal citizen to drol, party for the present. and unite as pat. riots to save our country from destruc tion. \•Vhen my Democratic friends tell the that I have ,deserted my party and my old political faith, I tell thein no, that 1 have still implicit faith in the principles of the old Democratic party, and will again be ready to defend them IIAS' IP ENP A FAMILY JOURNAL DEVOTED TO STATE INTERESTS, POLITICS, NEWS, AGRICULTURE AND AMUSEMENT.

The tenacity with which some men stick to party narms, long after their signifiance ia obsolete, and the circum• stances which called them into exist ence are supplanted, leads us to take a casual glance at the Republican patty as it exists now and the very great de. terioration it has nnderwent within the last six months, and the minor position it now occupies. The Republican party is a very difs terent thing from what it was one year ago, the country over; in most of the States, as a party. it having disappear- ed entirely, while in the few where it has an existence it has none of the dis- tinguishing features that it did at the time Mr. Lincoln was elected Presi- dent but the name. In this State, the platform of that party as compared with that of 1860, has no doctrine of a similar character to inculcate. What wo have taught for the last four months has virtually been adopted by all parties in this State, and the Chicago platform, and all oth er platforms that distinguished parties have been swept before the tide of events. We regret that party names have not met with a like decent burial. It would have been a blessing, and would live been easy of accomplish- ment were it not for the denten Is of oftisans will are engaged in shaking the dead bones of party and praising its past virtues in orden to: get up a little sympathy over the pomp of the funeral, by which exhibitions they may get a little longer lease to the places of tinst and profit which the people have to gke. ln this loose anti ilisj 1n ted manner the Republican party exists in seg ments, immatelial 1111 impotent to ac- conudish anything of importance in the support of the goveinment, were the Administration to rely upon it for the important aid that is required in this ci isis. No, the A. 1 in inistration feels that it would rely upon a broken reed if it was to give the prominence to party friends that these pasty h lends think they are c pable of accomplish, ing. So futile is sueli 5pretense—so impotent Of satisfactory results that, in all the great State: party has been lost sight of, and the entire masses are moveng in support of the government in her hour of trial. The great anal absorbing question is—not shall par. ties be subserved, but shall the govein- ment be sustained: and under this bati. ner, and this alone, should the masses of the people be marshalled. But so much is said in this State about the virtues of party -so vindic- tive are certain individuals aril certain journals against all who dare to be pat- riotic at the expense of patty, that we think it desirable to send an agent in search of the fossil remains of the Re- publican party. We shall not send Mr. Sanborn on any such mission, because his report night cause as much discus sion, as did that when ho was sent to Washington to ascertain if the newspa- per charge that Gov. Ramsey stole the clothing of the first regiment, was true. Let us send some more reliable and re sponsible person than Mr. Sanborn.— Let it be Gov. Ramsey himself. Of course if there is no Republican party outside of three or four States of the Union, Gov. Ramsey will so report, and the people may know whether they are voting this fall for the success of Gov. Ramsey or the Republican. party. Let him have leisure,and full opportuni- ty_for observation; saddle his ass, put a change of linen, a plug of tobacco, a well filled flak of his favorite beverage in his saddle -bags, and having s:rap• ped them across the ass, let the Goys ernor mount and start on his mission in search of the Republican party. -- Let him have full privilege to draw co. piously from his knowledge of the Ger- man language. and every facility be afforded for tracing the party into every secret corner where it now seems to lurk , Imagine that ho goes down to Tows by the Cedar 'Valley railroad, a line he bas taken some interest in in titnes agone—and arriving among the llawkeves ho begins to feel round for the party; his linen is called into req• itisit ion, the plug of tobacco is passed 10101!, the flask does its mellowing wot I( , and the eloquence of the Eng. lisp and German language is exhaust- ed, Let not even the ghost of the Re- publican party appears.

THE LOSS OF THE JEFF. DAVIS. One of the crew of this busy fri- , vateer has furnished the Richmond Ea- quirer with an account of her career, from which we extract the following: "When about eight hundred miles east of Cape Florida, they came in con- tact with the ship John .Crawford, Capt. Edge, from Philadelphia, bound to Key West, with arms and coal for the United States forces. She was fonnd to draw twenty-two feet of wat- er, and could not possibly he brought in. 'The officers and crew, numbering in all twenty-two persons, were taken on board the privateer, the vessel fired and holes bored in her sides and bot - tern. Ills was about four o'clock in the morning, and by good daylight the sIlip was wrapped in flames, going down shortly afterward. It was found impossible to secure any of the arms, as they were stowed under the cosi. l'hay then turned theii course, with a light wind, for St Augustine, Flori- day. Upon nearing the coat the wind increased until finally it blew a pet feet gale. The vessel crossed the gulf safely, and on Friday night, th.. 15th, they hove to, and found them- selves in sixteen fathoms of water .— At daylight liid was discovered and a clear coast. They were then about ten miles south of Matanzas. Squared away awl male, for Saint Augustine liar, found the tide too low upon their arrival and stool off. The Captaia hoisted the Confederate flag at the fore top gallant in ist and fired a gun as a signal for a pilot. Three attempts were merle to get into the harbor, but it was found they would not weather it. The vessel kept working np to the windward through the night, and at daylight they discovered themselves two miles from the bar. The flag was again hoisted, an 1 a pilot was observed corning towards the brig and giving the usual signals. In attempting to cross the bar, how- ever, the brig grounded on the North Breakers. This was about half past s'x o'clock Sunday morning, the 17th inst. A small boat was sent ashore with Dr. Babcock and Lieut. Beys, and the prisioners landed. The offi- cers and crew of the privateer then went ashore, and were greeted by the most enthusiastic demonstrations by the inhabitants. About half past nine two light boats went off to the brig, along with Capt. Coxetter and other officers. The staiboard guns were thrown overboard to lighten the vessel, in order to clear her decks of water, and save as much as possible of the supplies on board the brig Every effort was made to save everything on board, but it was supposed that the guns thrown overboard stove her in and caused her to bilge. The light boats, however, were filled with a large amount of provisions &a, and finally succeeded in saving all the small arms on board. About two o'clock all hands had left and were conveyed to St. Augustin. The brig is a total loss, But. a. small piece of her bow was re- !: tal Is Dtla on thoughtThThursday thatdshe morning.iv odand to t goo pieces before daylight," ALL IN A T HELL --" o Cincin nati Commercial says: The men from whom we have heard the loudest prais- es of the Fremont proclamation are Democrats and Kentuckians. They say it is all right. It don't free any- body's negroes hut those of traitors, and are se to suppose that a General is to take care of an enemy s negroes for him? Gen. Fremont has simply res fused to enter into the trade. As the shortest way of managing contraband negroes, ho turns them loose to shift for themselves.

If this is sradical,' it is a Casa of radical common sense. —Andrew Johnson, rot Tennessee, says the Cincinnati Gazette, was asked the other day what he thought of that part of Fremont's proclamation rela- ting to the forfeiture of property, and the manumission of slaves belonging to armed rebels of Missouri, and re- plied, that it was just right—that "a man wit/Irwin fight against the Union ohouldetigad allowed to own a dollar's worth." RESOLUTIONS. John 11. Brisbin, from the commit- tee on platform and resolutions, report- ed the following preamble and resolu- tions at the Democratic State Cons vention held at St. Paul on the 5th lust: Whereas, There exists an organic and irreconcilable antagonism, upon principle, betweeu the Democratic and the ao.called Republican party; and whereas, the Democratic party is a pos- itive and not a negative organization; and whereas, in popular governments, it is the right and dnty of the People, to scrutinize the acts of their rulers; and whereas, the experienced ascend- ency of Democratic principles has been beneficent in the past, and it is believed that the ultimate settlement of the ter rible war which now distracts the country will be made by a union of the loyal and conservative men of all sections upon a substantially Demo• erotic basis, which tampers neither with incendiaries of the south, nor fa- natics of tho north, therefore, 1. Resolved, That while the De- mocracy yields to no party in loyalty to the "Union, the Constitution and the laws," and will put f rth and sec- ond every effort to suppres the present rebellion, to reestablish the supretnacy of the constitution and to preserve in un diminished lustre and unbroken rank the "constellation of the States," it is the sacred duty of that party to maintain its distinct political organi- zation throughout the States. 2. Resolv d, That while the De- mocracy of Minnesota asserteadhesion to its ancient faith, and proclaims its determination to keep intact of "latter day" political bodies, it pledges with no less emphasis its cordial efforts to sustain the existing national Govern tnent in all constitutional means to bring to speedy and honorable close the , present war between the States, and I will not and would not by one tittle abate er impair that unity of vigor necessary to accomplish this result. 3. Resolved, That we are opposed, except in cases of extreme urgency, and strictly within military linos of operation, to the suspension of those safeguards with which the constitution has surrounded the person and proper- ty of the citizen: and that the light of fully and freely canvassing the policy and me.asures of the Administration in power is essential to a constitt.tional government; it is a right upon which the pillars ot our Republic rest and is denied only liy tyrants. 4. Ifesolv, d, That the Democracy deprecates tht terms, epirit and intent of the Military Proclamation of Gen- eral Fremont in Missouri, and the third resolution adopted by the Repub lican State Convention of this State, and of a'l similar pro. 1 imations, 'man- ifestoes and utterances; believing that the authoritative promulgation of such sentiments and designs is calculated to embitter the riecti,ns, to dishearten the loyal, encourage the rebellions and postpone the termination of the war in which we are engaged. 5. Resolved, That while we should deplore an adjustment of existing diffi culties which would leave unvindicated the sacred cause of union and nnrc- buked the authors of this war; and while we admit of no compromise with armed rebellion, we firmly be- lieve the contest will not be determined by the sword alone; that it ie the duty of the President by proclamation to assure the nation at large that this is not a sectional war, not an antislavery war, not a war of conquest and sub- jugation, but a war simply and solely for the maintainance of the Govern- ment, the suppression of rebellion and the preservation of the "Magna Chu- te" of our National Union, and that it is the solemn duty of Northern pat- riots to proffer to a loyal and snbmit- ted South guaranties snch or similar to those which were offered and reject. ed at the last regular session of the Congress of the United States; that wo believe this to be the last hope o the Union, and this the peculiar mis- sion of the Democracy. 6th. Resolved, That the Democracy of Minnesotasympathize with and hon- or all those citizens of the Slaveholds ing States who are loyal to the Con• ititution and Union; and that they are in favor of a general convention of the States, at the earliest practicable period consistent with the cireumetan- ces of the relations of the different sec- tions to each other, with a view to an adjustment of all the existing diffictil- 'iris and differences in the Government, and the perpetuation of the Union in its integrity. 7th. Resolved, That all parties and men unite in rendering honor to the "First Regiment of Minnesota," the first to fight and the last to fly at the fatal field of Manassas. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. A TALE OF A SHIRT. One of the traitors or spies arrested in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a few doss ago, on his way from Virginia to New York, was a man named W. J. Kelly. lie and his two companions were thoroughly searched, and evidence was found on each sufficient to prove that they were properly arrested. Mr. Kelley's turn was the lagone, and his case was much the most interesting.— He had taken off all his clothes but his shirt, and nothing contraband or treasonable had been found on him.— He stood thin; before the Mayor and exatnining officer. and, under tbe cir- cumstances, the position was very em- barrassing to say nothing of ordinary modesty which may even exist among the rebels, the owner of that shirt knew that it was lined with treason. The raising of the garment would reveal the treason, an 1 probably make his life forfeit. The moment of arspense during which Mr. Kelley stood thus before his eurions captors must have been rather an agonizing one. But fancy his feelings when the officer re- inarke 1 something peculiar in the hang of the shirt, and fancy them when be was ordered to take it off.— He trembled and turned pale, and his kneels shook and knocked together.— He could not endure the groat shock to his inodesty; he called for water; and he was on the point of fainting.— But the officers were inexorable. The shirt came off, and the treason as well as the person of Mr. Kelly was tail bare. The shirt was a marvel of in. genions needle.woik, having various well concealed pockets, in which were found numerous letters from the South; sonie from men in the rebel army to their friends in Baltitncre; others to men in New York, and a number for Europe. In addition to this tbare were varions bills of sale, dated at Richmond, for pork and other articles and largo packages of money, princi- pally in notes on banks in the Confed- erates States. All of these articles were done up in neat packages, and looked as if they had been subjected to the pressure of an hydrenlic press.— The ingenuity that contrived this new mode of carrying letters was com- mendable; but it was baffled by the perseverance and patience of the offi- cers at Harrisburg. Mr. Kelly was provided with another shirt and accom moklations with his comrades in the county prison. The money was placed fir safekeeping in oue of the banks, and the letters and other docu- ntents were delivered to the Attorney General. There ought to be valuable revelations in these documents concer- ning spies and traitors in New York, as well tie in other places. Kelley's shirt is a valuable acquisition for the Government. PLANS OF GEN. M'CLELLAN. The news of the occupation and for- tification of Munson's Hill by the rebel army, and other indications of their advance upon their lines, have fixed the public mind in expectation of a de- cisive action within a few days. The clearest statetnent of the intentions of Gen. McClellan is found in the New York World, which occupies a semi. official position to the government, and whose Washington cot respondent has always been more than usnally well informad. He writes as follows: No one but Gen. McClellan knows how long this condition is to last.— He has several times reconnoitered the rebel movement., and other Generals have suggested to him the importance ofilriving them off before they are- so strong as to make the attack a bloody affair. To which the Commander in Chief replies that he sees things hors and elsewhere, and shall not strike un- til he is prepared. I have said in pre- vious letters that Munson's Hill is not near enough to bother us greatly, ex- cept as a base for the enemy's advances. If McClellan chooses to carry it, it will be because any Brilliant little affair adds to our prestige, and not because he wishes to extend his lines. Our Potomac length of forts, lunette, and breastworks are the most contplete de - defense ever constructed in a single season, and why should we advanc..1 from it to weaker positions, until the army it ready for a grand forward movement? I think that our greatest surety for future success lies in the des termination not to fail, which our new commander has avowed to his friends. From the latter 1 gather that he is en tirely sensible which wed the great hon- or of his elevation; that he knows a failure would involve his .fall beyond redemption; that the utterness of his ruin would be proportioned to the swiftness of his rise, and that he has made a covenant with himself that the extreme of human certainty shall pre. elude and attend his every movement. These facts, aaid to be derived from his own lips, I mention incidentally, as Munson's Hill is hardly a sufficiently important text for so interesting a state- ment. If the enemy attack us before we ragtime the offensive, the General must, of course, adapt himself to the contingency as best he may. COTTON KILLING/ COTTON. The present high price of cotton is now producing the effect so long desir el by ad true friends of liberty through- out the world. It is s imulating most extraordinary efforts for its production in every quarter. Providence is doing • work, by permitting the present civil war, which will kill the great monarch, Cotton, in this nation John Bull will anon be relieved from his present diffi- culty of talkipg freedom in the United States, while. at the same time, his .pocket argument' leads him to work against it. We predict that within five years the entire wants ef the world can be supplied with cotton elsewhere that here. While this great staple was nbnntian t at ten cents a pound, pith - Hc attention in other countries was not called to its production; but now, at double former prices, the matter is corn - almost universal attention. The south are worse than mad at tido biting -off - their own -nose policy. They desire slavery, and. in the hands of God, they are working desperately for freedom They desire Cotton to be King and the whole world to he his subject, and they are now dethroning his majesty with all the energy they can control, and are rapidly raising np a competition which will kill this monster controlling pow- er of tho pro.slavery Confederacy.— Politicians, statesmen, wise men, and good n -.en, have been ciphering out the great cotton problem in its relations to freedom, but have not yet been able to make figures consistent with God'e ins - mutable laws of justice and humanity. How to do right and at the same mos ment has not yet been made apparent in any of the latter editions of the low- er law arithmetics. As a nation, we are now being taught that under no circurnatances, even to keep trade, or to keep up the price of cotton, or to promote peace. is it right to tamper with the rights of four millions of peo- ple. God will show us that cotton here can be killed with cotton else. where, and he will laugh at the forces of any arms- arrayed against him in the groat contest for freedom. Cotton shall perish, brit truth and justice and righteousnes—NgVER.—N Y. Inde - pe .dent. CALCIUM SIIARY3HOOTERS.—The ade vantage of the calcium light. aa adapt- ed to the purpose of war, are receiving the attention of scientific men. In speaking of a trial ghat was to take place recently, the New York Herald says: Professor Grant is anxious to dem- onstrate practically the great benefit that will be derived from the use of this powerful light when attacking for- tresses, masked batteriea, or other such places. Sitnated in a hollow, with the proper reflectors, it casts a powerful and lurid gleam upon tho spot to be attacked, exposing with the clearness of the light of day, the persons who tnay be working in or about their bats teries, while the persons in tho vicinity of the light are enveloped in total dark- ness, enabling the sharpstooters to pick off with unerring certeintj those whom the rays of light discLise to their view The practicability of thia form of at- tack has been •fully discussed among our military men, and it appears to hay.) created a favorable impression up• on all, as Professor Grant has received every encouragement to proceed to or- ganize the iegiment. There is at least one benefit attached to it. and that is, it cannot be imitated by the rebels, as Professor Grant alone holda the seoret of securing the brilliant flame for which the light is famed. Should the exper- iment to night prove successful it will be given on a more extended scale in a short time." Panson Bnowsiow.—Many state- ments have gone forth lately in regard to this distinguished Tennesseean.— Some reported that he had gone over with Nelson to the enemy; others de. nied it with emphasis knowing the Par- son's pluck. The following, received from Alba- ny, Ky., under date of September 1st, will show that Brownlow still lives with his colors flying. A friend, writes our correspondent, "saw Bridees at Monticello, on the day before he was taken prisoner. and WW1 shown by hint letter from Brownlow to him. On the envelope, under the stars and stripes, were printed—' -Let no man in- to whose hands this may fall, believe for a moment I will desert the cld flug.

Brownlow never was a Republican, but the force and determination with which be apealca in regard to those thieveing traitors who have des. troycd his office and silenced his pen, is just as gratifying to us as though hehad always labored wall the game party organization that we did. For the sustainment of the Government in decided terms is all we ask of any man during this great hour of our na- tional ttial.

It was not the Roman army that subdued Gaul, but Cnesati in was not the Carthagenian army that made the republic tremble at the gates of Rome: but Hannibal, it was not the Macedonian artny that was on the In- dus, but Al. xander; it was not the French army that carried the war to Westr, but Turenne; it was not the Prussian army that for seven years de- fended Pru,sie against the greatest powers of Europe, but Frederick the DAN RICE ON THE UNION, On Friday the ari tilt., a grand Union meeting was held at Girard, Pa., Dan Rice's residence. and it seems that Dan had just arrived there from Wis- consin, in company with hia two daughters, who bad been visiting him in the wee.

I have traveled extensively through the South, and in tny professional career have ex perionced many evidences of their kind- ness and generosity. But when I saw that a small patty of politicans, who have managed to control the ailminiss tration of th:s government for over thirty years, wore on the eve of des- troying one of the noblest fabrics ever constructed by the genious of man, and fast merging our peaceful country into the horrors of civil war, 1 thought it my duty as a citizen of this com tnonwealth to use all my endeavors to defend the national flag, and tender nty servioos and means for the purpose of putting down this great rebellion.— The question with which we have now to deal is not that of Abolitionism, nor that of Republicanism or of Democra- cy; but that of actual war—bloody civil war! The North must prove true to itself. No party lines or predilect ions should mar the harmony of the North; but every man should stand up in the dignity of his nature, and give not only his means, but hintsilf,. if necessary, to swell the ranks ot our gallant volunteers.

A short time sin e two individuals in this city wore lying in one room very sick. one with brain fever, and the other with an aggravated Case of mumps. They were so low that watcher( were needed over night, and it was thought doubtful if the one sick of reser would recover. A gentle- man was engaged to watch one night,' his duty being to wake the nurse whenever it became necessary to take the medicine. In the course of the night both watcher and nurse fell asleep. The man with the mnmps lay watching the clock and saw that it was time to give the tever patient his po- tion.

HOW 01,D ARE YOU.—The following is the last aneeloto wo have seen told of Dr. Einuton.. the Franklin divine: There was a physician in the neigh- borhood of Franklin, where Dr. Ent• tnons preached for seventv-on years, who was corrtipting the minila of men by his pantheism. 'rho physician be. ing called to visit a sick family in the Franklin parish, met the Franklin minister at the house of affliction. It was no place tor a dispute. It was no place for any unbecoming famil ity with the minieter. lt was 810 pi &Co for a physician to inquire into the ago of the minister, especially with any in- tent of entangling him in a debate, and above all, where the querist WAS too visionary for any logical discuesion.— Bat th3 abrupt question of the pinto- ist was: 'Mr. Emmons, how old are you?'.

We might explain many a coldness, could we look into the heart concealed from 1 us. We should often pity when we bate, love when we think we can fors give, admire when wo curl the lip with scorn and indignation. To judge with- out reserve, of any human action, is a culpable terrnity, of all our sins the most unfeeling and frequent. TO THE PEOPLE OF MINNESO- by a concert of action placed the same TA. ticket in the field, (with one exception) On the 4th day of Mar,•h, 1861, of men composed of all patties, bot o Abraham Lincoln was elected Presi- whom only was required, are they loy- dent of the United States. His elec- tion was the will of the majority of the people of the Union, declared through the forms prescribed by the Constitu- tion. During the period since that eventful date, more than one third of al, capable and honest? In Ohio, in population the third com- monwealth in the Union. every politi- cal advantage possessed by the party in power was laid neon the common altar of their country. A cooperation like the States forming the general gov- that of New York was rejected by the ernment have openly declared and men who controiie I the machinery of waged war againat the federal power, the minority party, men in political sympathy with those who named in their honor camps occupied by them- selves as traitors in arms against the common government -men who were spurned and spat upon by the yeoman- ry of their State. Like the action in New York, an ap peal was made to the masses of the people and nobly was that appeal, re. to which they principally owed their prosperity and respectability. In the exigencies of the times, the President relying upon the patriotism of the entire people of the States which had not revolted, called upon them far aid, and which was nobly responded to by rnen of all political parties. Those who had opposed his erection, as well as theme who had favored it, promptly sponded to. All paries united, not as parties, but as patriotic citizens, in con- vention air! placed in nomination a ticket composed of men of all parties, the dominant party evon conceding for stepped forward with their purses and their lives, placing both in his hands to save onr threatened institutions from destruction. In disposing of. and ars ranging the glen and materials, the . the office of Governor, the first in the President fully appreciating the patri• sift of the people, a man whose hostile otism of the people, appointed the offi- influence they had combatted ever since cers of the army thus created without their d reference to political prejudices. Those who had bitterly opposed his election received alike with his friends positions for which they were supposed to be qualified, and thus the entire people were complim:tted. In civil matters, the Legislature of Illinois, assembling immediately after the firing upon Putt Sumter, the majority of which being of the party that placed Abramatn Lin- coln in the executive chair, responding to the pulsations of every loyal man, :and echoing in their acts the sentiments of the lamented Douglas - "Whoever is not prepared to sacri lice party organizations anal pl.itfo'm• un the altar of his country does not de serve the support and c unteuance of au honest people. flow are wo to overeom: the partisan antipathies in the mind; of men of all paarie, 50 a, to presetat 'a united from its support of our e'Oltty 1 We must car Ise diseu,sing party issues, make no allusion: to old party teats, hive no criminations and recriminations. indulge in no taunt, one against the other as 10 who has been the c tuse of these troubles.

The representatives of individual citizens, gird Ole repres'•ntatives of States. metn- bers of the House and Senators of States, in Washington. directly under the eyes of the National Administra- tion, recognized the Incnspirit of the nation by vountarily placing in posi- sitions of honor, profit and trust, those against whom they had been bitterly arrayed in political strife. The exhibition of thio spirit of coun- try before party was manifested in Ver- mont. 'I'he State which presented the GREAT LEADER with life and youthful ambition did not forget the admoni- tions tittered by him when near the close of that life. His follower in faith, the Democaatic candidate for Govern- or. and others on the State ticket, de- clined to participate, or allow their names to be used, in dividing the peo ple upon party issees. The Republi• cans met them in a like spirit by sup• porting and electing the leading candi date to the Senate. Party lines were tl►ere obliterated. In New York the Republicans, thro' Simeon Draper and others -men emi- nent throughout the world for their commercial enterprise, casting luster upon our commercial and national character, and sensible, from their po- sition, to the urgent demand of the times upon every citizen to suspend the indulgence of party prejudices -tender- ed to the Democratic Committee the offer of a temporary cessation of hostil isies, and the joining of both parties upon one grand Union platform -of everything for the government first and party only afterwards, when the gov- ernment should be triumphant over its enemies. Yet this Democratic commit- tee, composed of professional trading politicians, never acting, except when the vision of a convention, packed to suit their purposes, is apparent, refused to accept the offer thus made by the party then dominant, and which pos- sessed the ability to maint'tin their su premacy-a supremacy. the enjoyment of which would give them an immense patronage, embracing in its distribu- tion hundreds of benificaries. Not- withstanding the refusal to 'accept an offer unknown and nnparalleled in its magnanimity in the history of Ameri. can politics, the Republican committee appealed•to the loyal masses of the De. • hnsii ess.

In imitation of the great, States whose political action has been referred to, and which was suggested, approved and defended by the leading papers named, the people of Minnesota should have suspended party action. Nothing to prevent the harmonious action of a united people. knit well to, gether in a firm resolve to du • all in their power to aid the government both with life and treasure, should have been omitted. That this might be ef- fectively den, the "Union" movement was inaugurated. Its advocates trusted that the patriotism of the people at the hour and upon the occasion, would lead them to rally around the movement and to sweep away sill party differences. It we; believed that they wo•tll not bo behind those from out of whose midst they had migrated hither. Its advo- cates further believed that the move- ment was approved by the unbiased judgment of their fellow citizens whose individual thought had bceu directe t to, and had acted upon it. Such now they believed to have been tho case, and that if such action could have been 'Homey.

Fru n the determined spirit of the politicians and the aroused political prejudices of are people, there are no hope:, in the short space of time inter- vening before the day of election, of acco•ublishing the object for the attain- tnent of which this movement was nn dertaken. Nor can it be perceived that the continuance of the candidates in the field will resuI in any other manner than the creation of a chance for, the election of the ea^dilates who ask the suffrages of the people upon It platform which shuultl be conlemnol by every roan wile seeks that which is above, and includes everything of present in- terest to the highest and lowest iu the land -the preservation of the Anleri- ^an Union. The camliadates nominated by the Peop!e'e Union Convention, only al- lowe 1 their names to bo used in the hopes of preventing party strife, and for the purpose of committing, if possible. every man in the State unqualifiedly to the prosecution of .the war against traitors until they are crushed out, and the Federal laws are obeyed and re- spected everywhere.

SHIELDS' IRISH BRIGADE —Per• menent goners for the Irish Brigade. daring its formation, have been allow- ed at Fort Schuyler. in New York har- bor, and recrniting for the corps has begun in earnest in the eastern cities. Indeed, this brigade absorbs all the ac- tivity and interest in enlistments on the eeubord It is believed that the five regiments, notwithstanding the re- cent plan of the Government to place the organization of volunteer corps in the control of the Suites, will be atloe. ed to form at Fort Schuyler-. The pro. posed oflieers of the brigade are. so far, as follows: Brigadier General Shields commanding; First regiment, (New York). Col. Nugent. formerly of the Sixty Ninth. Second regiment, (Phila- delphia), Colonel Garrett Dann; Third regiment (Boston] Colonel Murphy; Fourth regiment, (New York) Colonel T. F. Meagher. The details concerning the organization of the Fifth have not been perfected. The officers believe the prospect of cotnpleting the organ- ization, though general recruiting is not active, to be very good.

I fear the national struggle in which we are engaged is much more ponder - ons in its dimensions than most of our people suppose. As I look upon this rebellion, it will regnire.all the strength and conrago, and virtue, there is in the loyal States. to pat it down. I feel c -rtain that if the gcvernmont. is sus twined in this crisis, it will be at a great sacrifice of treasure and blood, be- cause we are engaged with an enemy more merciless, and more ruthless, than are the savages upon our frontier. This rebellion must be put down. no matter what the cost; but that we may the more effectually crush it out, we should be united. It was for this rear son I wished the Union men of our State might act in concert. CONFISCATED VESSELS.—The North- ern part owners of the confiscated ves- sels. as a general thing, urge a speedy confiscation, and co-operate with the Government officers. These vessels, have only tobelabelled, declared con fiseate, and sold to the highest bidder. It is thought that three -fourth owners, resident at the North, will bid in the vessels, and as tho Secretary of the Treasury has discretionary powers by the act, he will undoubtedly, remit the arnouut paid for shares previously own- ed by the Lid,iers-in, and accept only the amount due for the portion of the vessel claimed by Southern owners.— The Southern owners can, of coarse, have no claim upon the Northern buy- ers, as the set of Congress confiscates their property. The South is thus like- ly to be cut off from any ownership in a large nnmber of vessels, and Northern ship -owners will have an opportunity of editing to their property at a rea- sonable rate, considering the probable amount which will be invested under the coufiscation sale. DRAFTING IN Iowa.—In the State of Iowa drafting has been resorted to to raise the quota of troops called for by the President from that Mate. Let no such a atate•nent go out from this State --let our contributions of men be vol- unteers. - In North Carolina volunteers are be. ing received for the federal service.— Wberever the governn►ent troops got a foot hold the Union sten develop them- •selses. It is stated that the rebels will prob- ably mike an attak on W..shington to a short.time. That city is well fooi- fied, and an irumeise number of turn are on duty in its itnmerliate vicinity. The ernp of wheat is reported to bo light throughout Europe. The French are drawing on this country for sup- plies; possibly England may also re- qnire grain from America. The difficulty said to exist between Gen. Ftemout and Col. Blair is send not to he of a personal stature. The difference was purely open questions of policy between these officers. NUT So. -The Cohan authorities do not recognize the rebel marine craft as heretofore announced. FREMONT'S GUNBoeTs --The gun- boats at Carondolet, near St. Louis. are rapidly emerging from the apparent chaos of lumber and workmen, which reigned there a few days ago. into fleet ing and formidable slspe. They will carry fifteen guns each, and be com- pletely plated with boiler iron, tsvo and a half inches in thickness. Their shape is such as to render them impervious to point blank shots—a ball striking them horizontally will glance off like a hail stone from a steep roof. Perhaps plunging shots may be. more effective; bet with them, while the boats are in motion, it will be extremely difficult to insure accuracy of aim. The boats will also be protected from shells by means which are apparently a legnate. The engines and other mashsnery are in very compact form, and well aecured against intrusions from• themissilos ot the enemy. By the terms of the ern tract,.the G►vernment was to pay Capt els, who is con -eructing them, three- fourths of the value of the work done once in ten days; but as yet, though they are more than hall' completed, tt- has not received a single dollar As their cost is more than half a million dollara..it will be nnreasoneble to ex pest him to come rip to the Tetter of bis agreement unless the stipulations of the Administrat on towards him are more promptly fulfilled.

Each regiment is expected to recruit its own Band. The number of instruments is prescribed in regulations to be forwarded to the several ?outman" ders.

TREASON IN CONNECTICUT. -The bold- ness of secession sympathizers in Con- necticut, and the state of feeling their treasonable demonstrations has creak among the people, have induced Gov. ernor Buckingham tq issne a proclama- tion against "the utterance of seditious language;" the peril in which the lib• attics of the people is placed by "a trai- torous press which excuses or justifies the rebellion; by secret organizations, which propose to resist the execution of the laws of this State by force; by the public exhibition of peace flags,' falsely so called; and by an effort to re- dress grievance regardless of the forms and officers of the law." Hie Excel- lency says that the existence of the Government, the future prosperity of the nation. and the hopes of universal freedom demand that these outrages should be repressesl. In reference to he right to prevent treason against the Government, the Governor pithily says that. "that the Constitution guarantees liberty of speech and of the press, but holds the person and the press respon- sible for the evils which result from this liberty. It gnarenteeathe protection of property, lint it regards no property as tiaered which is nse,l to subvert govern mental authority. It guaranties the person from unreasonable seizure, but it protects no individual from arrest and punishment, who gives aid and comfort to the enemies of our country.' POLITICAL NOTICE.

Under all the names that it has borne, that element in our politics has been invariably thrown against the southern interest, and tho' the events of last spiing annihilated its material form, or at least cause,] it to disappear from public view, it exists always with undiminished virulence and awaits the opportunity to spring into light again.

IIe had been thirty years in the regu- lar service as a private soldier. He had followed the Indians through the ever glades of Florida, bivoucked upon the side of the Rocky Mountains, chased the Camancho and the Cherokee thro' New Mexico, stood before the fire of Baena Vista, charged upon the heights of Chepultopec, and followed the victor lions flag of his country along the plaza of Mexico and into the halls of the Montezumas.

The men who played the runaway at Bull Run were men who had not pare ticipated in the action to any extent, and who became panic stricken where, if once smelling powder in the manner above described, they would have been abundantly victorious.

A great 'many persons entertein the ilea that the present struggle in which A FAMILY JOURNAL DEVOTED 'DO STATE INTERESTS, POLITitS NEWS, AGRICULTURE AND AMUSEMENT. VOL. 5. HASTINGS, MINNESOTA, T1IURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1861. NO. :i HOW AN ARMY MOVES. There aro a great many things be- sides men and guns essential to an ars my, and a commander about to Iced inc government is engaged is a war for an army into a hostile conntr , first the emancipation of the slave. This sees that the commissariat is well pro - is a grave mistake, and mischievous in vided with provisions. that there are its tendencies. This idea has quite an ample means of transportation, and that there is a reserve of ammunition array of talent in its eupport, and is en and clothing, and a good supply of titled to respect, both from the num- hospital srores and medicines. All bers thatembrace the doctrine, as well the' prelerninary arrangements for the as the humanity that prompts its pro. march having carefully made, the "or- mnlgation. That emancipation may der of march" is communicated to the several commandingofficers of divia be a result of the rebellious attitutude ions, brigades andgre imente, but not in which the seceding States have pia- published in orders. The troops are ced themselves, is probable, it may be distributed according to the character inevitable, but it is not in the remotest of the country • In a very open coun- degree the object of the war. The nd- 1 tarty thee I ahregled portion ceorticma ye lrt t sty o u Id be ministration in all its acts gives a clear ally it is distributed thrioughot! antehre and emphatic denial that is has any line. The artillery should be in the such emancipation object in view. In rearof the first foot regiment.

Until this unfortunate right and reft of the column. nt 'It do tise blunder, the war on the partiof the I tance of one or two hundred paces, to Government presented but one aspect in the loyal States, but since then, or at that time the radical sentiment found expression, and it is now clamorous for emancipation, while the Administra-. tion is none the less firm in crushing out the rebellion, and subduing traitors to.obedience to Constitutional authority. The People of America have a high appreciation of General Fremont, his distinguished services in public life keep a sharp lookout, and prevent any disastrous and gratuitous experience as that painfully and recently familiar to us in connection with the ambuscade on the road to Vienna. The column having leen formed nt half or roamer distance, and the baggage train assem- bled in the rear, protected by a guard selected from each regiment for its own baggage, the colutnn is put in motion, and the march commences with the same regularity as would bo observed by a regiment moving in or out of a garrison town, the bands pi tying, the heretofore, as well as in the present light infantry with arms sloped and struggle, has endeared him to the those of the riflemen slung over the public, but when Gen. Fremont con. ;shoulder. tho officers with drawn swords, 1 exact wheeling distances obsetved.— After having proceeded a short dis- tance in this manner, the wild of corns mend, " route step," is given by the General at the head of the leading bat- tallion, and passed quickly on to the rear. The captains, instead of contin- uing at the head of the companies, draw back to the rear of them, that they may see any of their respective cornpa nies who attempt to qnit the ranks withont leave. The soldiers then march and carry their arms in any manner convenient to them, conversation and smoking being ordinarily allowed. TIIE LONDON TIMES ON OUR AFFAIRS. The London Times of the 17th of September devotes two editorials to the treatment of our war against rebellion. ()ue of these articles begins with a re- luctant compliment: "The Strada adhering to the Union are twice as populous as the Confides rate States; they are far more opulent, and they have the advantage of nation- al establishments to furnish them with supplies. Volunteers have come for- ward in such numbers that the (liffieuls ty found in angutnenting the regular army is sufficiently accounted for.— The little State of Massachusetts alone has sent twenty regiments into the field, and the requisitions of the President for men are outstripped by tho resolutions of the local governments and the patri otic spirit of the people. As the troops thus raised aro unexceptionable in point of phys'cal capacity, and deficient in nothing but.training, it is obvious that the rigorous discipline lately enforced by the federal commanders must soon produce the natural result in a powerful army." Then the Times expresses astonish art of war. It remains to be seen whether the 'yonng Napoleon' who haa just reviewed the whole army and cleated Washington of idlers n ill do mnch more than his comrades when comes to the trial." WRITING BY LIGHTNING. One of the most modern and most remarkable achievements of electricity is time referred to by a writer in Once a Week: cents to become tho leader of an ele- ment opposed to the Administration in this hour of trial, Inc tarnishes every laurel he hariever won, and becomes the author of incalculable evils. Such an exponent and leader Gen. Fremont will never consent to become. His proclas mation can only be' considered as his nosteke, and not as an indication that Ie cherishes a sentiment in conflict with the Aittninistration. The radical sentiment is an import- nnt one. while it may bo said to be dan. gerons. It is the advance guard of cite ilizetion, Iliongh it ought never to be- come the ruling element. Generally it is right in theory but most always mw practicable in its application, hence the radical sentiment is the progressive one and the conservative the practical.— The humanity, the enlightenment, and the Christianity of radicals is commens dable, but nevertheless they must ever remain as they always have been the pioneers of thought, lead), to seek new fields of enterprise, as soon as conserv• atism comes forward and occupies the ground. No, radicalism is not to be despised, though it must be controlled. Then it is not to be wondered It that protests and expostulations followad the countermand of Fremont's procla motion, but it is gratifying that amidst all the President remains firm, and the war is still prosecuted with the view to bringing a mistaken and rebellions people back to obedience to Constitu- tional Law. It is hardly to be expected that that party which so recently went before the Country proclaiming by its platform and public speakers that it made no war upon slavery in the States where it already existed, has got ready to stultify tiself now, and acknowledge to the world that one year ago it was acting a stupendous lie. That party is too reepectable, too careful of tho public interests, and represented by too much talent to adopt any Inch subterfuge for its success. What it s lid last year it still says, except upon such subject's as cieenrostances have rendered obsolete. Maly and unmistakably the Admine istration holds the ground upon which it came into power, that it has no de- signs upon slavery in the States where it now exists, and in this it is wise as well as coneisItt To recapitulate, then. the present struggle is not a war of emancipation, though that result may be accomplish- ed. The perpetuity or the Govern ment is endangered, Constitutional lib- erty is assailed, and to preserv3 these has our brothers, neighbors, and friends been called to the battle field, and the hoarded treasure of the nation profered. Let us not cripple the Government in this laudable object, by preferring our individual opinions, but recognizing the bleesinga of Civil Liberty, let as 'press forward for the perpetuity of the Gov. ernment and the preservation of tbo Vnione it THE CHINESE TelIES,ES. The Chinese are as expsrt in thieys ing as in -mechanical handicraft, Their feats in this line are quite incredible, unless one is an observer or a tictim.— The following is related by Rev R. S. Maclay, a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in bin recent work, Life Among the Chin'se." A foreign ship captain *as oace din• ing at the table of a foreign merchant in China, when the conversation turn. ed on this subject and et number of il- lustrative anecdotes anel onerierseetere recited by Members of the coMpafiy.— Among the incidents related ono in which it happened tbat the burglar had entered the room where the occupant was sleeping, and hal stolen the laid off clothing of the sleeper without dis- turbing his slumbers. The Captain re- ceived this etory with staunch incredul- ity. and declared with emphasis that he defied any person to enter his room without awakening him. - .Why.' said the gentleman, at whose table he was dining. 'there is a Chinese thief in this city who can steal a sheet on which you are sleeping. without awaking you.' Impossible 1' cried the indignant CaTphtaemin. erchant, however, was in earn- est about the matter, and it was finally agreed that the captain should spend a few nights in a designated room of the merchant's house, jnst to test the mat- ter. In accordance with the arrangement the thief was informed of the circum stance. and was assured of safety if caught on the premises during the time specified. The captain occupied the room one or two nights, and nothing transpired to alisturb his repose. The succeeding night, about two hours past midnight, the thief approached the win• dows of the room in which the eaptain elept, and finding all quiet within, can- tionsly made his entrance. It was a hot Summer night and the sleeper in hie night clothes lay about the middle of the bed having his person only part- ly covered with a thin counterpane.— Softly approaching the bedside the thie carefully removed the counterpane, and then addressing himself to the sheet or which the sleeper was lying, he began in the gentlest manner to fold it up in narrow piles lengthwise- In a few inin otes the last fold of the sheet u close agtinst the forma of the sleeper.— And now carne the most difficult par of the performance. It was compare tively easy to fol I np that part of th sheet not in immediate coatict with th captain's person, but. how remove th part beneath him without disturbing hi repose? Taking a straw in his hand the thief passed ronnd to the other sid of the bed, and softly uncovering th sleeper's side, proceeded gently to tickl him wi•h the straw. Instantly th sleeper begins to squirm and shrug and after a few seconds rolls heavil over away from the persecuting straw and quite off the coveted sheet; thn leaving the prize to be gathered up an carried off in triumph by the thief. Next morning, when the Captain awok from his refreshing sleep, to his utt surprise and amazement, behold, th sheet was gone. Another great element in our pres- ent civilization is beginning to make signs of its exietencb in the South Ken- sington Museum. We allnde to the electric telegraph. BakeWell's copy- ing machine is one of the most inter- esting of this class. as it brings before the public eye the meane that can be employed to write with a pen thous sands dollies in length. If' the At lantic cable were in working order, for instance, a man, through its instrumen- tality, could sit down to write a letter in Lendon and feel certain that a fac simile of his hand writing waa at the same moment (tetanus: out of the tele. graph office at New York. The man- ner in which this astounding machine wotke is as follows: The message is origanally written on a conducting ma- terial, such as tin foil, with resin or some non conducting ink. Over the face of this letter, which is placed on a cylinder, a point of metal revolves— this point is in connection with the conducting wire; at New York; say, a piece of chemically prepared paper is placed on a like cylinder to receive the message; both cylinders are male to move round by clock work. At the point at this end of the wire which passes over the nonconducting rein writing, no current passes, hence the point which moves synonymously with it at New York 'loos not change the eerier of the paper, but all the outface of the writing tablet being a conduct- or, the currents pass and deepen its color by chemical action on the far far distant recording tablet. The re- ceiver thus obtains a perfect fire simile of his correspondent's handwriting done in white upon a blue ground. Speci• mens of this electrical handwriting are placed beside the telegraphic machine in the Museum of Kensington, and af- ford an admirable example of the cali- graphy of the lightning pen.

The men en- gaged to make the desired • object. if allowe 1 proper time. and he named 18.- 000 finance tte the price. The bargain was cdrlcluded, and in due time the work wan reduced, and the artisan Wile honored with a second audience of the tmperdr. "Now," said his Majes- ty, "pnt it on." The matt did sa. nAs I am to stake my life on its efficacy. yon will, I suppose; hate nd objection t� do the same?" and he took brace of pistole, and prepared to discharge one at the break. of the astonished ar- tist. There was no retreating. howay- dr, and, half ddad with fear, he stood the fire; and to the infinite credit .of his work, with perfect impunity. Bt the Emperor was not content with one trial. He fired the second pistol at the back of the artist, and afterwards die - charged a fowling piece at another part of him with similer.effect. "Well, yon have produced a capital work, tin- doubtedly," said the Emperor. "What is to be the price of it?" Eighteen thousand francs were named Re the sum agree! upon. "There is an order for them," said the Emperor; "and there is another fur an equal bum, for the fright I have given you."

"WASN'T IT PITIFUL?”—A politiesi speaker recently relined an anecdote, in which he said he had been in the Flor- ida wars chasing the Indians some years before, and among hie compan- ions was a reckless, dare -devil sort of a fellow, who seemed as careless of his own life as though he had a dozen more in his pocket. He had been backed, cut, stabbed, and shot in all possible, and impossible places, and his life de- spaired of frequently. All this he bore with philosophic indifference. One day, however, he was tremendously kicked by a tremendous jaekairs; and this time f death seemed inevitable. His companions gathered around him, and one was selected to give him the painful intelligence that he mnst die. To the surprise of all, the reeks - less, callous, fearless soldier burst into p tears. This was unexpected, at nd ohe had ever associated him with fear of t death; and a surprise and ill concealed e soldierly ecireetnpt appeared on the fa - e ces of his companions. e Seeing this, he drew up his shatter - e arms and lifted up his head, and s said: , "It's not that, boys. Tt's not the fear e o' dying—though that isn't pleasant; O but to think after all tbo high, grand o old chances of dying I have had and e lost, jest to be kicked to death by a dod-derned yee hawing old cuss of a 3; jackass!" New ORLEANS WOMEN.—Tho Mr Reynolds, just escaped tc New York from New Orleans,lgives the following in regard to some of the women there: They rant for Secession, speak for Secession, work for Seceasion, and marry and love for Secession. They encourage their husbands to gird on the armor of rebellion and go forth to battle. The smiles of love, the tears' of tenderness, and the other soft appens &Tee of womanhood are, for the time being, totally dried up. An incident occurred to demonstrate this feeling.— A lady of high stan ling in society in New Orleans was conversing with a gentleman friend some few days since, when the subject arose, of the incident which occurred some time ago of a policeman shooting a man in one of the rebel cities for crying down Jeff Davis. Tho gentleman male the in- quiry whether if he took- i'. into his head to cry out in favor of Abe Lig- coin. what would the fair one do?— The delicate creature rose from her seat, and whi'o her eyes flashed veege- fill lightnings, emphetically. with almaenten!ed, extended, said: shonld shoot yon on the spot myself." So much for fernis nine fire eaters. ment to find its financial croakings fal- sified by the noble response to the pro- posals of Secretary Chase, but shifts its old tack, and Is unable to find any "American Army."

Mr \Vashburne has the endurance, cour- age, promptness, energy and intelli- gence which admirably fit him for such a position. No better appointment has been made in the western cavalry forces. The State Military Board of Ken- tucky, now thoroughly sifted of all dis- loyal elements, and in full co -opera tion with Gen. Sherman have decided that Kentucky volunteers must enlist for the war. A good many have sworn in for three months, six months and a year, thereby creating much confusion They have also decided to allow the volunteers a month's pay in advance. which will greatly stimulate enlist- ments, and is an example that might well be followed everywhere. • A Gloss ATTEMPT TO SWiNDLE.— Tho Cleveland Leader says the made are now flooded with circulars appeal - ling for contributions to the -Un tel States Humane Society," which pr, fel ses to act by consent of the.

It is believed at Washington that the offensive is abont to be taken by General Jl'Clellan, and that he is feeling his way into the ene- my's countri', prepared to meet force by t•orre, even to the extent of a general engagement.

There can be little doubt, however, from the greater activity giv- en to movements in Western Virginia and Kentucky, that a not inconsidera- ble portion of Gen.

At this hour. two hundred thousand men are in sight of the National Capitol. who threaten to seize and destroy it. and to overthrow the government of the United Suites.

Daniel S. Dickinson made an- other great speech—at Utics—from which we extract the following: The fiat has gone forth, and the Amer. ican people are determined to crush re. hellion. I see clearly through this day's business. I see through this gaunt and haggard rebellion. covered all over with crime,riven to the last extremity—its leaders in the pillory of public execration—deserted by "peace" friends, who have fled for safety—I see these wretched men, falling victims to the laws they have outraged. I see them led to execution, or confined in dungeons where the iron enters deep into their souls. And I hear a great voice lifted, the voice of a united peo- ple saying, Amen. From this day forth we should set battle in array against the traitors.— Let the old ,nen counsel, and let the young men enlist for the war. Let fair women at the domestic altar, plead for the rause, and let her encourage lover and husband, son and brother to eo forth and do mighty deeds. Let little children, by their voices, stimu- late the work. When all is accom- plished—when the war is over„ and re- bellion subdued, ask th' "peace" men to come back, and look them in the face and ask them if they object to what has been done; if they object to the restoration of the Union and the preservation of the Constitution? Then let them hold up their rattle box of party, and play with it all their lives if they wish. It is our purpose to vindicate the strength of the Government and ths integrity of the Constitution. This we will do or perish. I for one, will "fn victory exult, or death he laid low, R'Itl, my back to the field, and my Leet to the foe."

All that can be seen or heard, leads to the belief that the Confederates are preparing for some great effort, and that they have retired portions of their force from before Washington, either AA a device to blind their antagonist white making it, or to co-operate with the rest of the army by a serious dem- onstration above and below the city.— If the Confederates have moved. they mean to do some mischief. They can scarcely retire and hope to make a bet• ter leap by doing so. Iuactivity on both sides, coupled with prodigious expedi• tures, are the best if not the only char). ces of compromise and peace. Success on either rule revives the hopes of cam plete ultimate triumph of the one, and stimnlatss the animosity and the die - play of the resources of the other. There is one thing to be taken into con sideration as an element of peace. Du ring the winter the armies must go in to quarters. Even no far South as Vir ginia, the weather is frequently very se voce, snow lies many feet deep on the ground for weeks at a tirne. The Po- tomac is occasionally frozen over. Ther roads, always indifferent, become rivers of mud and slush, through which it would be nearly impossible to move ,nen or guns or baggage. When the armies are in winter quarters, will the politicians work for peace or war? Or will tice leaders of divisions be permit ted to carry on operations in the ice nd snow, remetnbering the great success rf Washington after the trajet, which is so often represented iu bad engraving+ ell over North America? It is obvis ously the interest of Beauregard to strike a great blow before winter sets in, ane' time strengthen the base for negotia- lions; but General McClellan, I aro sat- iified, will not move a ratan if he can help it until the very end of this month or the beginning of October.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—Lord Lyons several days ago addressed to Secretary Seward, in which he says: "Her Maj- esty's Government were much concern- ed to find that two British subjects, Messrs Patrick and Rahmie, bad been snhjected lo arbritrary arrest, and al. though they have been released, it co'd not but regard the matter -As one re- quiring very serious consideration."— Lord Lyons, nwier instructions, there- fore felt bound to remonstrate against any snch "irregular proceedings," as be deeignated them, and to say that the authority of Congress is necessary in order to justify the arbitrary arrest and, imprisentnent of British subjects. Secretary Seward, in the course of his reply, after detailing the facts in re. gard to the two prisoners named in the note of Lord Lyons, says: 'The proceedings of which the Brit- ish Government complain, were taken upon informotion conveyed to the President by the legal police authori- ties of the country, and they were not instituted until after it had suspended the great wi it of freedom in just the extent that, in view of the perils of the State, be deemed necessary for the ex- ercise of that discretion for which he, as well es his chief advisers, among whom are the Secretary of War and Secretary of State, is responsible by which has been gained at arms since the war commenced and that is on the side of the Government. Let us recapitnl ate: Large additioes have been made to our navy, the army has been convoked and disciplin- ed; arms and munitions of war have been provided, three of the Sieve States remain loyal, while East Tennessee and West Virginia remain true to the Gov- ernment of their ththers. Hatteras Inlet is ours, and yet it may be said we are scarcely ready for an aggressive movement. • • • TIIE FLAG WE LOVE. Robert C. Winthrop, in his speech on the occasion of presenting a banner to the regiment of Senator Wil. son, paid the following beautiful tribute to our National flag: Sir—I must detain you no longer, I have said enough, and more than enough to manifest the spirit in which this flag is now committed to your , charge. It is the National ensign, pure tions made thereto by purchase. 'Ili is and simple; dearer to all our hearts at is being remedied, but a ship does not this moment, as we lift it to the gale, stalk from the docks at the command and see no other.signof hope upon the storm cloud, which is reflected from its of the President as dots the hosts of own radiant hues; dearer, a thonsand freemen Ir;ave their distant firesides in told dearer to us all. than ever it was AMERICAN tettEs. The German traveler, J. G. Rohl, who visited Minnesota in 1855, and who has described more than half the civil- ized world, has a chapter descriptive of the ladies of America. Among the complimentary things be says is the following: Our traveler begins by remarking that our domestic institutions produce a singular sameness: That beauty, however, should be• came democratic is a remarkable fact for the observer. The fair sex in America baa not only the some univer- sal feelings, impulses and passions— the same education and requirements, which they have obtained from institu- tions of a like pettern, but alao the same charms. There is a greater na- tional family resemblance in American women than among those of any Eu- ropean country. The general affinity in manners. comfort and social value has had such an effect on the type of beauty, that they appear to have boned from the same mould and school. An American salon filled with ladies re- sembles a hyacinth field in the sand gardens of Berlin. Clumsy, coarse features, striking des formity, original and characteristic ug- liness, are found neither among Amer- ican, men or women. No one could sepport of Constitutional Liberty. Men, imbibing all the inspiration that a great cause can give, swelled the ranks until a great army was convoked. But mon but fling with patriotism, men of Spartan courage, were not all that was required to drive back the hordes of despotism. It was a useless and criminal expenditure of the best blood of the nation to send such an army in. to the fastnesses where the enemy had made his stronghold. Discipline was necessary, and the month or two spent thus, was time well improved, not. before, while gilded by the sunshine of prosperity, an 1 playing with the zephe yrs of peace it will speak for itself, far more eloquently than I can speak for it.

Full beauties a la Rubens element of success, though a belief in the justice of the cause and a determin- ation to maintain it, is not without its i mportance. Our treasure was horded in vaults, or was active in the agriculture, manufac- ture or commerce, incident to a nation at peace. Our arms and munitions of war were comparatively scarce for a nation at peace, and entirely inadeqnate for a state of war. Treasure has been nppropriated to their manufacture.— The forge, has blackened the noonday sky and made night glare with its red light in shaping steel into weapons of destructien. Cannons and small arms were required, and al! night and all day, week after week, and month afte, month has the machinery groaned in their construction, and yet who can say that the demand is supplied. To do all this has required time, and yet such was necessary to the successful prosecu- tion of the war, and any haste that did involve the consideration of these, was fool -hardiness of a most reprehensible character. But amidst all these disad vantages the Government has been able to hold its own, and has even made in- roads upon the rebel territory. Every man who has looked over the subject must be convinced that the trai- tors anticipated carrying every slave - holding State with them. Look at the persistent efforts of Magoffin to carry Kentticky out cf the Union, al- though a vote of hers, taken while she was menaced by rebellious arms, show that the love of her people for the glo- rious old flag, and the government of our fathers, was far from having all died out in that State. Missouri was similarly situated, and now when the Government meets a considerable force in that State it is a satisfaction to know that they are from States further South, and that the great body of her people are loyal to the Government of Wash. ingtOn and Jefferson. East Tennessee and Western Virginia, have spoken with n loyal heart, and will do good service for Constitutional Liberty.— Maryland is held firm, though there is factious elements in her borders that require the overawing influence of fed, eral arms. Our arms have met with a few revel - e51, but they have been barren of any advantages to the enemy. Bulls Run was the stronghold of the enemy before the fight on the 21st of July, it is so now, nothing more. In Missouri theit attacks have been as fruitless, even more consists of an entire battery on a single so, secession is flying before the army of a compliment to that party. Holbrook, carriage.

Behold it! Listen to it! Let it tell the story of its birth to these gallant volunteers PS they march beneath its folds by day, or repose beneath its sen- tinel stars by night. Let it recall to them the strange, eventful history of its rise and progress; let it rehearse to them the wonderful tale of its trials and its triumphs, in peace as well as in war; and whatever else may happen to it or to them, it will never be surrendered to rebel; never be ignominiously struck to treason, nor ever be prostituted to any nnworthy or unchristian purpose of re- venge, depredation or rapine. And may a merciful God cover the head of each one its brave defenders in the hour of battle! OUR SOLDIERS PREFER A FIGHT TO GOLD.—An amusing scene occurred in the camp of a Pennsylvania regiment a few days ago. Our troops were engaged in a brisk skirmish with the rebels in Lewinsvilie, just above Chain Bridge. Nearly opposite, on this side of the riv- er, General McCall's division were in camp, and the paymaster was counting out his gold due the troops for their services. Word was received of what was going on over the river. The men sprung to their arms anticipating an order to march. The regiment, among whom the money was to be distributed, turned their backs upon the paymaster and his treasure, as if it were a matter of no Account. One man was signing a receipt for his heap then laying on the table; he dropped his pen, and rushed for the camp, leaving pen, paper and gold to take care of themselves. An other shouted, "Hold on to 'nine till to -morrow," and darted from the tent. The paymaster was left alone with the gold, with time to contemplate the ea, rious incidents of war. PruzE CosuNneums.—Prof. Ander- son, the magician, offered two gold watch, worth $100 each, for the two best conundrums which should be of, fered at his entertainment at Boston.— Many hundred were handed in, and the committee adjudged the following to be the best,, aryl the prizes were awarded to them: Why is it impossible for the Gov. ernment to grant the request of our Southern brethren? Because children in arms are never left alone. Why is a water -lily like a whale?— Because it comes to the surface to blow. The Vermont Legislature met at Montpelier on Tbnrsday the 10th inst. The House preserved its old organizes tion. The Senate elected Henry Clark of Ponitney, (Democrat,) Secretary, as are never found among them, and equal- ly rare are those graceful, well round- ed, elastic, Junonic forms, which may be found in Italy and other European countries. The ladies of Kentucky alone offer an exception to this, but the rest all resemble tulips in whom only the head delights. Their faces, too, are pleasanter through the delicacy of the outline than in the color or expres- sion. Their cotnplexion is hardly ever rosy, and rarely lively and fresh. They are all somewhat palid, like zealous ro- mance readers among ourselves. They seem to be hot -house plants, and their entire education and formation in the fashionable ladies' academies is on the forcing system. These, pretty, deli- cate, pale faces, are met with not only in the capitals, but far away up the Mississippi, in the new settlements, and in the prairies among the Indians. HOW BOMB -SHELLS ARE MADE.—The shall is first filled with old fashioned round leaden bulletts; melted sulphur is then poured in to fiill up the inter,. stices and bind the bulletts in one solid mass; the shell is then put into a kind of lathe, and a cylindrical hole, of the exact size of the orifice of the shell, is bored through the bullets and enlphur. This cavity is filled with powder even with the interior edge of the orifice, n 0 inch shell of the kind here described holding about half a pound The fuse fitted into the orifice is a recent Belgian invention, made of pewter, and resem- bles the screw cap used for patent fruit cans. An examination of this pewter cap shows, however, that is made of two hollow discs of metal screwed together and filled with meal powder. A nnm• ber of fine holes are drilled in the low- er disc, while the outer disc is entire, and marked with figures in a circle, 1, 2, 3, 4. In this state the shell is water proof. When taken for use, the gun ner, by means of a small steel instru- ment, scoops out a portion of the outer soft metal surface, and lays bare the charge of composition powder below it If the shell is desired to explode in one second after leaving the gun, the scoop- ing is made on figure 1; if in two secs onds, on figure 2, and so on, the idea being that shells of this description shall first strike the object aimed at, and do execution as a bell, and then explode, sending the bulletts forward as if 11 om another cannon, located at the point where the flight of the shell is arrested. Large shells Of eight or ten inches are filled with powder only; and bursting, do execution by means of their hags ments. These targe shel's are general- ly fired by means of a fuse of meal pow- der, extending through a brass plug screwed into the mouth of the shell.— In both cases the fuse is fired by the ignition of the charge in the gun...-.

It DOESTICKS RESPECTFULLY ENQUIRETH: WM' DO TUI WOMEN WANT US TO DO ABOUT THE WAR, One reason why it is so difficnit to please a woman ie, that she seldom knows herself what. she wants. In most cases it is as bard to satisfy a woman as it would be to content a captain who would set you to steer his ship, and wouldn't tell you whether he wanted you to go to Jersey or Japan. They wouldn't be satisfied whatever you do. Especially in the matter of war. Par. ticularly the present war. Your wife, or mother, or sister, or whoever may be the woman that owns you, refuses to be content, no matter what you do. If you don't join a military company, she sulks, insinuates that you are a coward, turns up her nose, and"wishes she was as a man." If you do join said com- pany, she scolds about the expense, grumbles about 'the lose of time, and growls whenever you go to drill; tho' in spite of her growling, she always saves the choicest part of the dinner for you when yon do come. Then she !aught, at you, and calls yon a "dressed np monkey," the first time she sees you in uniform; and then, as soon as you are gone out of the house, she rushes over to Mrs. Jones to tell her what a 'splendid officer' her hus- band is, and how 'magnificent' he looks in his new military dress. Then, if your regiment is ordered away, and you ins sinuate that •business affairs' will keep law before the highest tribunal of the , you at home, all her fire as blazing in Republic, and amenable only to the an instant, and she upbraids you for judgment of his country and the ens lightened portion of the civilized world' In conclusion Mr. Seward remarks: "The safety of the whole people has become, in the present exigeney, the supreme law, and so long as the danger shall exist, all classes of society, equal- ly the denizen and the citizen must cheerfully acquiesce in the measures which that law prescribes. "The Government does not question the learning of the legal advisers of the British Crown, or the justice of the de- fence which her Majesty pays to them. Nevertheless, the British Government will hardly expect that the President will accept their explanation of the Conetitntion of the United States, es- pecially when the Constitution thus ex- pounded would leave upon him the sole executive responsibility of sip - pressing the existing insurrection, while it could transfer to Congress the most material and indispensible power to be employed for that pnrposo. "Moreover, these explanations find no real support in the letter, much less in the spirit, of the Constitution. He moat be allowed, therefore, to prefer to be governed by the organic national law which. while it will enable him to exercise his great trust with com- plete success, receives the sanction of the highest authorities of our own country. and is entertained by the gen- eral consent of the for whotn that Con- stitution was established (Signed.) WM. H. SEWARD. UNSIIIPPINO A D00.5 RUDDER.—A veteran tar, who had served under Corn modore Stewart many years in the ca- pacity of boatswain, on getting past exertion, wss appointed by the latter, in gratefnl memory of his former con, duct, a kind of sub gardener, at his country seat near Philadelphia. Jack had not long been in possession of his new post, when he perceived every morning on walking over the gardens, that several of the beds were pawed about, and the borders deetroved. indi- cating by their marks the stealthy visits of some canine wanderer. Jack immediately communicated the news to the Commodore, who concur- red with him in his opinion as to the cause, and advised him to go to the garden a few hours earlier in the morn- ing, and give intruder a warm welcome. .Jack accordingly did so. Hiding him- self in the shrubbery, he spied a long, lean dog, between a pointer and a mas- tiff, spring upon the garden wall and jumping into the grounds, begin rnn- ning *beet and exploring, with a de gree of activity and keenness, tbe depth of a strawberry bed. Jack watched his opportunity, and at the moment the dog had hurried his head out of sight in the earth, the tsr stole behind him with a sharp spade, and at a blow struck of1 his tail. The clog sprang over the garden wall, yell- ing. Some time after, when the Com- modore came into the garden, Jack ac- costed him: 'All right, your honor; we were boarded by a dog sure enough, of a long, sharp -sailing build, rather white about the bows, and dark amidships.' 'And what did you do with him Jack l' prevented his finding his way here any more.' 'Did you kill him, Jack?' 'Oh, no, please your honor, I laid by on the look-ont there in the shrubbery, and when I seed him dowse his bows in the strawberry bed, I dropped softly astern, and with tbia here tool unship- ped his rudder, you see—that's all.

'backing out' at the critical moment, and insinuates that yon are a 'plarboy soldier;' and then she wishes she were a man—she'd show folks how to fight.— Then, when you finally make up your mind to go to the seat of war, she bursts into wet tears which spot your new uniform and tarnish tbe gold lace on your sleeves, and thinks; 'yon ougbt to be ashamed to go off and leave your family.' She vows 'ehe don't believe you care a straw for your wife, or a cent for your sweet children;' she 'knows that yon would rather be any where then et home,' and 'wishes she were a man she'd teach the President better than to send men away from their families." Theo, when the day comes for you to start, she vows that she "will never speak to yen again if you persist in going.' Then, when yon take a paper out of yobr pocket, and pretend to read a furlough from the comandant, excu ing you and giving yon leave to stay at home, she throws her apron over her head, sits down on the floor and howls aloud, 'to think she should have a cow- ard for a husband'—that her 'husband should be afraid to go to the wars.'— And then, when you tell her it is all a mistake, and that you are going after all, she bawls lender than ever. because she 'knows yon will be killed,' or she feels it in her bones that yon wi.l come home with two wooden legs, and then how can you take her to the Academy or opera of nights? Then she resorts in turn to every one of the immense lists of female tactics to keep you at home, she weeps, she banters, she pokes fun at you—she wishes she was a man —she gets mad—she sulks -she threat- ens to go home to her mother—she coaxes—she won't ever live with you another day'—she scolds, she entreats, and, as a last resort, she faints,—in this case she always falls into your arms, if you make an offer to catch her; if you don't offer, and if it's early in the mora- ing, and she hasn't made the bed yet, she'll fall on the bed, but if the bed is nicely made up, she'll fell on the car. pet, so as not to muss the bed; if the fainting dodge don't work, and you still are resolved to go, she vows she 'hates you, and that ehe'll never speak to you again,' and then, in order to prove the bitternesuf of her hate, she goes off and packs your haversack full of the dainties and delicacies of the sea son; then, after all, et the very last mo- ment, she comes and throws her arms around your neck, and whispers that 'she loves yen best of all in the world,' and that she'll 'be such a good girl un- til you come back,' and that she'll 'take such good care of the children,' and that 'yon mnsn't fret *bout her,' and 'that she'll write every blessed day, and you must write just as often as you can, and that she 'loves you best, best,' and a thousand other little messages for you, but all kind and loving, and told with- out a tear—for she doesn't cry now un til you are out of the house; then when you are gone she weeps like a showers bath for half an hour, then suddenly stops short, wipes ber eyes, and doesn't waste another tear till she sees you again. That's the way they all go; and talk as peacefully as you can, she is never satisfied in ber heart till she sees you in uniform. 0:71'"rile right," said an officer to his company.

A tall, rawboned, slab. sided Yankee, and no mistake came up and looked on. For awhile he said nothing till a fellow in • green jacket, the leader of the party, a con- ceited broth of a boy, began to try hie wit on Jonathan.

Complaints aro made in various quarters that the war on the part of the Government is not prosecuted with ti e vi or that the exigencies of the hour seem to demand, Such complaints are the natural offspring of the desire to again return to the arts of peace, and their attendant prosperity, but they cer- tainly cannot be made in view of the magnitude of the rebellion wo are call. ed upon to grapple with, and the help. less condition, in a military point of view, in which it found us. Men and treasure wo have in abundance, but the one requ'res discipline, while the other must change from peaceful pursuits to those of war. The rebellion found us with an insufficiency of ships -of war to render the blockade effiective, and for the speedy transport of troops and munitions of war. and we are still weak in this arm of the defence, although our squadrons have been called home from foreign stations, and many addi- tions made thereto by purchase. This is being remedied, but a ship dons not stalk from the docks at the command of the President as does the hosts of freemen leave their distant firesides in support of Constitutional Liberty. Men, imbibing all the inspiration that a great cause can give, swelled the ranks until a great army was convoked. But mon burning with patriotism, men of Spartan courage, were not all that was required to drive back the hordes of despotism. It was a useless and criminal expenditure of the best blood of the nation to send such an army in• to the fastnesses where the enemy had made his stronghold. Discipline was necessary, and the month or two spent thus, was time well improved, not- withstanding the necessary expense of providing for tb-ir wants, which in the aggregate amounts to a considera ble sum. We repeat that the time aril expense thus improved, is a tower of strength to our arms, and a great element of success, though a belief in the justice of the cause and a determin- ation to maintain it, is not without its i m portance. Our treasure was horded in vaults, or was active in the agriculture, manufac- ture or commerce, incident to a nation -at peace. Our arms and munitions of war were comparatively scarce for a nation at peace, and entirely inadequate for a state of war. Treasure has been appropriated to their manufacture.— The forge, has blackened the noonday sky and made night glare with its red light in shaping steel into weapons of destruction. Cannons and small arms were required, and all night and all day, week after week, and month after month has the machinery groaned in their construction, and yet who can say that the demand is supplied. To do all this has required time, and yet such was necessary to the successful prosecu- tion of the war, and any haste that did involve the consideration of these, was fool -hardiness of a most reprehensible character. But amidst all these disad vantages the Government has been able to hold its own, and has even made in- roads upon the rebel territory. Every man who has looked over the subject must be convinced that the trai- tors anticipated carrying every slave - holding State with them. Look at the persistent efforts of Magoffin to carry Kentucky out cf the Union, al- though a vote of hers, taken while she was menaced by rebellious arms, show that the love of her people for the glo• rious old flag, and the government of our fathers, was far from having all died out in that State. Missouri was similarly situated, and now when the Government meets a considerable force in that State it ie a satisfaction to know that they are from States further South, and that the great body of her people are loyal to the Government of Wash- ington and Jefferson. East Tennessee and Western Virginia, have spoken with a loyal heart, and will do good service for Constitutional Liberty.— Maryland is held firm, though there is factious elements in her borders that require the overawing influence of fed, eral arms. Our arms have met with a few revel- ses, but they have been barren of any advantages to the enemy. Bulls Run was the stronghold of the enemy before the fight on the 21st of July, it is so now, nothing more. In Missouri their attacks have been as fruitless, even more so, secession is flying before the army of the West, with a prospect of being driven from the State.

HASTINGS, -MINNESOTA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1861. NO. 14. AMERICAN LADIES. The German traveler, J. G. Rohl, who visited Minnesota in 1855, and who has described more than half the civil- ized world, has a chapter descriptive of the ladies of America. Among the complimentary things he says is the following: Our traveler begins by remarking that our domestic institutions produce a singular sameness: That beauty, however, should be- came democratic is a remarkable fact for the observer. The fair sex in America has not only the some univer- sal feelings, impulses and passions— the same education and requirements, which they have obtained from institu- tions of a like pattern, but also the same charms- There is a greater na- tional family resemblance in American women than among those of any Eu- ropean country. The general affinity in manners, comfort and social value has had such an effect on the type of beanty, that they appear to have issued from the same mould and school. An American salon filled with ladies re- sembles a hyacinth field in the sand gardens of Berlin. Clumsy, coarse features, striking des formity, original and characteristic ug- liness, are found neither among Amer- ican, men or women. No one could dream, there, of asserting that le laid c'est le beau. The great majority of women are moderately pretty, very passable, or pleasingly pretty. Still their charms Ara concentrated more in their features than in their demeanor, figures, or corporeal abase. A classic- al bust, rounded arms, and well devel- oped limbs are the greatest rarity among them. You may gaze on a hundred and not discover one shapely waist.— The effeminate manners of these any- thing but Spartan republican ladies, their horror of bodily movement and physical exertion, produce a neglect and decay of the entire muscular Sys tem. Walking in the open air is some- thing quite unusual for them for in the country, where there are no foot paths or promenades, they move about in carriages, and rarely on horseback.— The rest of the long day they spend, after the fashion of Eastern ladies in harems, on softly cushioned sofas, or in their favorite rocking chairs by the fireside. Full beauties a la Rubens are never found among them, and equal- ly rare are those graceful, well round-. ed, elastic, Junonic forme, which may be found in Italy and other European countries. The ladies of Kentucky alone offer an exception to this, but the rest all resemble tulips in whom only the head delights. Their faces, too, are pleasanter through the delicacy of the outline than in the color or express cion. Their complexion is hardly ever rosy, and rarely lively and fresh. They are all somewhat paled, like zealous ro- mance readers among ourselves. They seem to be bot -house plants, and their entire education and formation in the fashionable ladies' academies is on the forcing system. These, pretty, deli- cate, pale facer, are met with not only in the capitals, but far away up the Mississippi, in the new settlements, and in the prairies among the Indiane. IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN L011U L'`r`0s8 AND SLCR)✓TARY SEWARD. WASH1YOTox, Oct. 19.—Lord Lyons several days ago addressed to Secretary Seward, in which he says: "Her Maj- esty's Government were much concern- ed to find that two British subjects, Messrs Patrick and Rahmie, had been snhjected to arbritrary arrest, and al. thongb they have been released, it co'd not but regard the matter -is one re- quiring very serious consideration."— Lord Lyons, tinier instructions, there- fore felt bound to remonstrate against any such "irregular proceedings," as he designated them, and to say that the authority of Congress is necessary in order to justify the arbitrary arrest and, imprisonment of British subjects. Secretary Seward, in the course of his reply, after detailing the facts in re- gard to the two prisoners named in the note of Lord Lyons, says: 'The proceedings of which the Brit- ish Government complain, were taken upon informotion conveyed to the President by the legal police authori- ties of the country, and they were not instituted until after it bad suspended the great writ of freedom in just the extent that, in view of the perils of the State, be deemed necessary for the ex- ercise of that discretion for which be, as well as his chief advisers. among whom are the Secretary of War and Secretary of State, is responsible by law before the highest tribunal of the Republic, and amenable only to the judgment of bis country and the en, lightened portion of the civilized world' In conclusion Mr. Seward remarks: "The safety of the whole people has become, in the present exigency, the supreme law, and so long as the danger Shall exist, 411 classes of society, equal- ly the denizen and the citizen must cheerfully acquiesce in the measures which that law prescribes. "The Government does not question the learning of the legal advisers of the British Croton, or the justice of the de- fence which her Majesty pays to them. Nevertheless, the British Government will hardly expect that the President will accept their explanation of the Constitution of the United States, es- pecially when the Constitution thus ex- pounded would leave upon him the sole executive responsibility of sup• pressing the existing insurrection, while it could transfer to Congress the most material and indispensible power to be employed for that pnrpoeo. "Moreover, these explanations find no real support in the letter, much less in the spirit, of the Constitution. He must be allowed, therefore, to prefer to be governed by the organic national law which. while it will enable him to exercise his great trust with com- plete success, receives the sanction of the highest authorities of our own country. and is entertained by the gen- eral consent of the for whom that Con• stitution was established.

Let us recapitulate: Large additions have been made to our navy, the army has been convoked and disciplin- ed; arms and munitions of war have been provided , three of the Slave States remain loyal, while East Tennessee and West Virginia remain true to the Gov- ernment of their tathere.

Winthrop, in his speech on the occasion of presenting a banner to the regiment of Senator Wil- son, paid the following beautiful tribute to our National flag: Sir—I must detain you no longer, I have said enough, and more than enongh to manifest the spirit in which this flag is now committed to your charge. It is the National ensign, pure and simple; dearer to all our hearts at this moment, as we lift it to the gale, and see no other sign of hope upon the storm cloud, which is reflected from its own radiant hues; dearer, a thousand fold dearer to us all, than ever it was before, while gilded by the sunshine of prosperity, an 1 playing with the zephs yrs of peace It will speak for itself, far more eloquently than I can speak for it. Behold it! Listen to it! Every star has antongue, every stripe its articulare. Ther is no language or speech where their voices aro not heard. There's magic in the web of it. It has an an- swer for every question of duty. It has a solution for every doubt and eve- ry perplexity. It has a word of good cheer for every hour of gloom or of de• spondency. Behold it! Listen to it! It speaks of eorlier and of later struggles. It speaks of victories, and sometimes of reverses, en the sea and the land. It speaks of patriots and heroes among the living and among the dead; and of bin), the first and greatest of them all, around whose consecrate I ashes this unnatural and abhorrent strife has so long been raging—"the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not." But above all, and above all other associations and memories— whether of g;orious men or glorious i deeds, or glorious places—its, voice is ever of Union and Liberty, of the Con. stitution and the Laws. Behold rte Listen to it! Let it tell the story of its birth to these gallant volunteers as they march beneath its folds by day, or repose beneath its sen- tinel stars by night. Let it recall to them the strange, eventful history of its rise and progress; let it rehearse to them the wonderful tale of its trials and its triumphs, in peace as well as in war; and whatever else may happen to it or to them, it will never be surrendered to rebel; never be ignominiously struck to treason, nor ever be prostituted to any nnworthy or unchristian purpose of re• venge, depredation or rapine. And may a merciful God cover the head of each one its brave defenders in the hour of battle! OUR SOLDIERS PREFER A FIGHT To GOLD.—An amusing scene occurred in the camp of a Pennsylvania regiment a few days ago. Our troops were engaged in a brisk skirmish with the rebels in Levvinsville, just above Chain Bridge. Nearly opposite, on this side of the riv- er, General McCall's division were in camp, and the paymaster was counting out his gold due the troops for their services. Word was received of what was going on over the river. The men sprung to their arms anticipating an order to march. The regiment, among whom the money was to be distributed, turned their backs upon the paymaster and his treasure, as if it were a matter of no account. One man was signing a receipt for his heap then laying on the table; he dropped his pen, and rushed for the camp, leaving pen, paper and gold to take care of themselves. An other shouted, "Hold on to thine till to -morrow," and darted from the tent. The paymaster was left alone with the gold, with time to contemplate the cu' rious incidents of war. PRIZE CONUNDRPsis.—Prof. Ander- son, the magician, offered two gold watches, worth 8100 each, for the two best conundrums which should be off fered at his entertainment at Boston.— Many hundred were handed in, and the committee adjudged the following to be the best, and the prizes were awarded to them: Why is it impossible for the Gov- ernment overnment to grant the request of our Southern brethren? Because children in arms are never left alone. Why is a water -lily like a whale?— Because it comes to the surface to blow. The Vermont Legislature met at Montpelier on Thnrsday the 10th inst. 'Ile House preserved its old organiza- tion. The Senate elected Henry Clark of Ponitney, (Democrat,) Secretary, as a compliment to that party. Holbrook, of Brattleboro, the Governor elect, is confined to his horse by sickness, and has not been able to assume his duties. HOW BOM A -SHELLS ARE MADE.—The shell is first filled with old fashioned round leaden bulletts; melted sulphur is then poured in to fiill up the inter, stices and bind the bulletts in one solid mass; the shell is then put into a kind of lathe, and a cylindrical hole, of the exact size of the orifice of the shell, is bored through the bullets and snlphur. This cavity is filled with powder even with the interior edge of the orifice, a 0 inch shell of the kind here described holding about half a pound. The fuse fitted into the orifiee is a recent Belgian invention, made of pewter, and resem- bles the screw cap used for patent fruit cans. An examination of this pewter cap shows, however, that is made of two hollow discs of metal screwed together and filled with meal powder. A num- ber of fine holes are drilled in the low- er disc, while the outer disc is entire, and marked with figures in a circle, 1, 2, 3, 4. In this state the shell is water proof. When taken for use, the gun ner, by means of a small steel instru- ment, scoops out a portion of the outer soft metal surface, and lays bare the charge of composition powder below it If the shell is desired to explode in one second after leaving the gun, the scoop- ing is made on figure 1; if in two sec- onds, on fignre 2, and so on, the idea being that shells of this description shall first strike the object aimed at, and do execution as a ball, and then explode, sending the bulletts forward as if ftom another cannon, located at the point where the flight of the shell is arrested. Large shells of eight or ten inches are filled with powder only; and bursting, do execution by means of their frag- ments. These Jarge shel's are general- ly fired by means of a fuse of meal pow- der, extending through a brass plug screwed into the mouth of the shell. -- In botb cases the fuse is flred by the ignition of the charge in the gnn.— Scientific American.

One reason why it is so difficnit to please a woman is, that she ecildom knows herself what she wants. In most cases it is as hard to satisfy a woman as it would be to content a captain who would set you to steer his ship, and wouldn't tell you whether he wanted you to go to Jersey or Japan. They wouldn't be satisfied whatever you do. Especially in tbe matter of war. Par- ticularly the present war. Your wife, or mother, or sister, or whoever may be the woman that owns you, refuses to be content, no matter what you do. If yon don't join a military company, she sulks, insinuates that you are a coward, turns np her nose, and "wishes she was as a man." If yon do join said com- pany, she scolds about the expense, grumbles about 'the loss of time, and growls whenever you go to drill; tho' in spite of her growling, she always saves the choicest part of the dinner for you when yon do come. Then she '-aughs at you, and calls yon a "dressed up monkey," the flrat time she sees you in uniform; and then, as soon as you aro gone out of the house, she rushes over to Mrs. Jones to tell her what a 'splendid officer' her hus- band is, and how 'magnificent' he looks in his new military dress. Then, if your regiment is ordered away, and you in• sinuate that .business affairs' will keep you at home, all her fire Is blazing in an instant, and she upbraids you for 'backing out' at the critical moment, and insinuates that yon are a 'play -boy soldier;' and then she wishes she were a man --she'd show folks how to fight.— Then, when you finally make up your mind to go to the seat of war, she bursts into wet tears which spot yonr new uniform and tarnish the gold lace on your sleeves, and thinks 'you ought to be ashamed to go off and leave your family.' She vows 'she don't believe you care a straw for your wife, or a cent for your sweet children;' she 'knows that yon would rather be any where than at home,' and 'witches she were a man she'd teach the President better than to send men away from their families." Then, when the day comes for you to start, she vows that she "will never speak to yon again if you persist in going.' Then, when you take a paper out of your pocket, and pretend to read a furlough from the comandant, excu ing you and giving yon leave to stay at home, she throws her apron over her head, sits down on the floor and bowls aloud, 'to think she should have a cow- ard for a husband'—that her 'husband should be afraid to go to the wars.'— And then, when you tell her it is all s mistake, and that you are going after all, she bawls loader than ever, because she 'knows you will be killed,' or she feels it in her bones that you wi.l come home with two wooden legs, and than how can von take her to the Academy or opera of nights? Then she resorts in tuirn to every one of the immense lista of female tactics to keep you at home, she weeps, she banters, she pokes fun at you—she wishes she was a man —she gets mad—she sulks -she threats ens to go home to her mother—she coaxes—she won't ever live with yon another day'—she scolds, she entreats, and, as a last resort, she faints,—in this case she always falls into your arms, if you make an offer to catch her; if yon don't offer, and if it's early in the mora- ing, and she hasn't made the bed yet, she'll fall on the bed, but if the bed is nicely made »p, she'll fall on the car- pet, s0 as not to muss the bed; if the fainting dodge don't work, and you still are resolved to go. Rho vows she 'hates you, and that she'll never speak to you again,' and then, in order to prove the bitterness of her hate, she goes off and packs your haversack full of the dainties and delicacies of the sea son; then, after all, at the very last mo- ment, she comes and throws her arms around your neck, and whispers that 'she loves yon best of alt in the world,' and that she'll 'be such a good girl nn• til you come back,' and that she'll 'take such good care of the children,' and that 'yon mnsn{t fret about Iter,' and that she'll write every blessed day, and yon must write just as often as you can, and that she 'loves you best, best,' and a tbonsand other little messages for yon, but all kind and loving, and told with. out a tear—for she doesn't cry now un til you are out of the house; then when you are gone she weeps like a shower - bath for half an hour, then suddenly stops short, wipes her eyes, and doesn't waste another tear till she sees yon again. That's the way they all go; and talk as peacefully as you can, she is never satisfied in her heart till she sees you in uniform. UN/MIFFING A DOG'S RUDDER.—A veteran tar, who had served under Com modore Stewart many years in the ca• pacity of boatswain, on getting past exertion, wss appointed by the latter, in grateful memory of his former con- duct, a kind of sub gardener, at his country seat near Philadelphia. Jack had not long been in possession of his new post, when he perceived every morning on walking over the gardens, that several of the beds were pawed about, and the borders destroyer?. indi- cating by their marks the stealthy visits of some canine wanderer. Jack immediately communicated the news to the Commodore, who concur- red with him in his opinion as to the cause, and advised him to go to the garden a few hours earlier in the morn- ing, and give intruder a warm welcome. Jack accordingly did so. Hiding him- self in the shrubbery, he spied a long, lean dog, between a pointer and a mas- tiff, spring upon the garden wall and jumping into the grounds, begin run- ning about and exploring, with a de- gree of activity and keenness, the depth of a strawberry bed. Jack watched bis opportunity, and at the moment the dog had hurried his head out of sight in the earth, the tar stole behind him with a sharp spade, and at a blow struck of his tail. The clog sprang over the garden wall, yell- ing- Some time after, when the Com- modore carne into the garden, Jack ac- costed him: 'All right, your honor; we were boarded by a dog sure enough, of a long, sharp -sailing build, rather white about the bows, and dark amidships.' 'And what did yon do with him Jack?' 'I prevented his finding his way here any more.' 'Did you kill him, Jack?' 'Oh, no, please your honor, I laid by on the look -oat there in the shrubbery, and when I seed him dowse his bows in the strawberry bed, I dropped softly astern, and with this here tool unship- ped his rudder, you see—that's all.

THROWING ACROSS THE RIV. ER On the banks of the Hudson River, in one of the villages that dot its shores a lot of idlers were standing, seeing which could throw stones furthest into the stream- A tall, rawboned, slab - sided Yankee, and no mistake came np and looked on. For awhile he said nothing till a fellow in a green jacket, the leader of the party, a con- ceited broth of a boy, began to try hie wit on Jonathan. 'You can't come that,' said he, as he hurled a stone away into the river. 'Maybe not,' said Jonathan; 'but in our country we've a party big river, considerin', and t'other day I hove s man clear across it, and he came down fair and square on the other side.' 'Ha, ha, ha!' yelled his anditore. 'Wal, naow, you may laff, but I can do it agin' 'Do whatl'said the green jacket quick- ly. 'I can take and heave you across that river yonder, just like open and shut.' 'Bet you ten dollen; of it. 'Done,' said the Yankee; and draw- ing forth an X (upon a broken down east bank,) he covered the bragger's shinplaster. 'Kin you swim, feller?' 'Like a cluck,' said the green jacket; and without further parley the Ver- monter seized the knowing New York- er stoutly by the nap of the neck and the basement of the pants, jerked him from his foothold, and with an almost superhuman effort dashed the bully heels over heal from the bank, some ten yards into the Hudson. A terrible shout ran through the crowd as he floundered into the water and amidst the jeers and screams of his companions the ducked bully put back to the shore and scrambled np the bank half frozen by this sudden and involun- tary cold bath. 'I'll have that ten-spot, if you please, said the shivering loafer, advancing rapidly to the stake -holders. 'You took ns for greenhorns, eh? We'll show you bow to do things down hero in New York;' and the fellow claimed the twen- ty dollars. 'Wal, I reek') yeou wunt take no ten spot jis' yit, captin.' 'Why? You've lost the bet' 'Not edzactly. I didn't calculate on deuin it the first time; but I tell yeon I kin den it,' and in spite of the loafer's utmost efforts to escape hien, lie seized him by the scruff and the seat of the overalls, and pitched him three yards further into the river than on the first trial. Again the bully returned amidst the shouts of his mates, who enjoyed the sport immensely. 'Third time never fails,' said the Yankee, stripping off his coat; 'I kin der it, I tell ye.' 'Hold on!' sail the almost petrified victim. 'And I will deu it, if I try untilto, morrow mornin'' 'I give it up!' shouted the sufferer between his teeth, which now clatterel like a mad badger's; 'take the money.' The Vermonter very coolly pocketed the ten-spot, and as he turned away re- marked: 'We ain't mach acquainted with your smart folks daoun here in York, but wesometimos take the starch aotit A boy was recently arrested for theft, of 'em up our way; and per'aps yeon His father pleaded guilty for hint, but wunt try it on to strangers agin. 1 said, in extenu teen, "James is a good reck'n yeon wunt,' he continned, and i boy, but he will steal." pntting on a broad grin of good humor, he left the company to their reflections.

If the government called those men into service she certainly contemplated re- muneration for their time, as stipula- te 1 according to law. We believe that there -is no cuutrovotsy as to the time for which those,soldiers are to receive pay; the paymaster expressing no doubt un this subject. What he requires is a descriptive roll, and application to be made by the volunteer in person. Now thcsu requirements seem to us absurd, because the obligation of the govern- ment to pay is as good in the hands of any other individual as it is in the vol- unteer himself. Thera may bo informalities i.t the discharge of these three months vulun- teas, but these surely will not; invali- date their claims. To prove that they were volunteers, and had obtained an unconditional discharge, the certificate of the proper officer is all that ought to be required, and the predeutation of such certificate ought to be satisfactory evidence to the paymaster that the pay Wilk) legally due to the person who pre- sented such certificate. THE Ftcinr AT Lia: nuitG.—Our road- ers are familiar with the telegraph re- l:ott of the battle at Leesburg, Va., iu which Col. Baker lost bis life, and the California regiment was so badly cut up. It is evident that it was not the vuliey to hold the Virginia side of the river, and although Generals Stone and Ranks, with their divisions occupied Virginia soil, they retreated to the ItJa:'yland side. It i, thought that the movement of Col. Baker was merely a reconuoiance, to feel the force of the enemy, and the blunder about the en, gagement was that he dill not retire at once to the Maryland side. We shall I not look for the army of the I'utuntac to advance for some Clays yet. FREMONT REMOVED Aaats.--the thi• cago Tribune has n dispatch from Washington, dated Oat. 28t1, which says that "ou Sunday last the order of the Commander -in Chief that- General Fremont should sur:ender his command to the officer next below him, Gen.

These mon who seem to know so much better than military men how the campaign ought to be conducted, should be at once organized into a military company with a view to protecting the men they are so anxious to press into battle acc .rrding to their ideas of rush- ing matters, without involving then in the slaughter to which such advice would lead.

Our French and English relations (speaking with referenceto the broad bonds of human brotherhood) have quite as Inch its fey can well look af- ter in the threatening condition of .af- fairs in their own bailiwicks. The sit- uation of France just now—whether in respect to continental States outside or her people inside, cannot be very saties factory to their finer. There is an un- easy feeling in that country, aimed by a dead trade and pinch for bread, which may well give uneasiness to the head of the empire. As is pertiuently re- marked by one of our Eastern coutem- poraries: There is no disaffection towards the Emperor; but there is a scarcity of broad, and this bas often been the cane of political ereules in France. An ac- cident may turn the distress anticipa- ted in Paris, during the corning winter into a mighty political agent that may even shake the imperial throne. To provide against such accidents is one of the works the French Emperor has on his hands, at the same time that he appears incliued to interest himself about Germany. Then he has, also, the affairs of Italy on Lis hands, and these are now at a most critical junc- ture. In addition to all these mighty pieces of business, he is engaging with the sovereigns of England and Spain, for an armed intervention in Mexico, and this, it may fairly be inferred, has some reference to the affairs of our own country. In the present very critical position of Europe, with chancea of new wars in Italy, in Hungary and Germany, wo should, under ordinary circumstances, have little apprehension of any impertineut iiterference with our affairs. Eight regitueuts entered Ken- tucky last week, viz: Gen. Negley's Pennsylvania brigade of five regiments; the Second Minnesota regiment, Col Van Cleve; the Thirty-third Ohio, Col. Joshua W. Sill; and one Indiana regiment. The Cincinnati Commere cial says tho Government cannot be ao- cusod of neglecting Kentucky at this time At least a dozen additional reg- iments will go in before the close of the month. Indiana has five regiments all ready but the guns, and they are in process cf shipment from the East.— Ohio has an equal number about ready for a Southern excursion. gSiarA Touuessce paper says that Andrew Johnson is very bitter against the secessionists. Whether he is or not, he has certainly had enough to make him bitter. A band of rebels went to his house in East Tennossee with the avowed intention of hanging him, and not finding him at home, they cut a hickory with() in the woods and scourged with it the body of his wife. Who could wondor if the outraged hus- band were to raise his clenched right hand towards God's firmament and swear to wage a war of extermination against the infernal miscreants? CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT Fort THE THIRD, AND FOURTH REGIMENTS. -Any one who is not conversant with our mil- itary system, when it is on a war foot- ing, should see the immense pile of box- es filled with the clothing and equip. ment for our two regiments. just receiv- ed by Capt. Saunders, the United,States Quartermaster. They would cease to wonder "where the money goes," in carrying on the war. The freight bilis alone atnounted to about two thousand dollars, and the boxes made a pile as high as it two story house. The bills show that these two regiments will be fitted out its splendid style. Every ars ticle of clothing is of the best quality and has }sassed the rigid inspection of regular officers of the army. The gov- ernment furnishes everything the sol- dier wears—shoes, stockings, drawers. pantaloons, shirts, coats, blouses, and great coats, with all the trimming and ornaments —and everything necessary for service in the field, such as tents, cooking spparature, musical instruments etc. It would be hard to find a better provider than Uncle Sam, for those who enter his service.-Pioaccr d Dem ocrat.

This expedition is really the first imposing demonstration of power that we have made since the breaking out of the war.

Surrounded by a cordon of editors, mueicians and mis- cellaneous guests, Herrman was necro- mancing when we came in. A pask of cards was in his hand. He handed them to the gentlemanly editor of the Daily—never mind. 'Is that a full pack?' The editor counts them, and answers —'Correct in all respects.'

More than ever is the conviction that old political organizations are in their last throes, becoming fixed on the pub- lic mind, and expressed in the acts of the administration, and prominent ins dividuals generally. The Civil War in which we aro en- gaged Inas contributed largely towards accomplishing this resnit, but it is not alone in the application of causes which are wasting the energies and hastening the decay of old political organizations. The Republican organization had a higher object and a graver duty to per- form, than the mere preferment of men to places of distinction --it became the exponent of principles, and so long as those principles were imperiled, and the subjects of political action, that long had the Republican party vitality, and became invincible in the bands of an intelligent people. The great basis of its operations, and distinctive feature which gave it individuality, was its opposition to the extension of slavery. Mark you; it was no exponent of Abo• litionism—it unbound no fetters for the slave in the sovereign States, it simply said, thus far, no further. That individuals in the party might have ho- ped to make it the instrument of eman- cipation, and even do now, it were vain to deny, and as ridiculous as to assert that emancipation was among the arti- cles of faith of ;the Republican organi. zation from the time of its inception up to the present hour. The questions which gave the Repub- iean party identity are settled or in process of settlement. No one hasthe ool-hardioess to assume that this war will leave the politic tl parties where it H. O.

WASHINGTON'S -VISION. Presently I beard a voice saying: "Son of the Republic, look and learn," while at the same time my visitor ex- tended her arm and fore -finger east- wardly. I now beheld a heavy, white vapor at some distance, rising, fold up- on fold; this gradually dissipated, and I looked upon a strange scene. Before me lay spread out in one vast plain all the countries of the world, Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. I saw roll- ing and tossing between. Europe and America, the billows of the Atlantic, and between Asia and America lay the Pacific. 'Son of the Republic,' said the same tnysterions voice as before, 'look and learn.' 'At that moment I beheld a dark, shaclowy being like an angcleatanding, or rather floating in mid air between Europe and America. Dipping water out of the ocean in the hollow of each hand, he sprinkled some upon Zmerica with hie right hand, while ho cant upon Europe some with his left. Immedi- ately a dark cloud arose from each of these countries and joined in mid -ocean For a while it remained stationary, and then moved slowly westward, entil it enveloped America in its murky folds, Sharp flashes of lightning now gleamed throughout it at intervals, and I heard the smothered groans and cries of the American people. 'A second time the angel dipped wa- ter from the ocean, and sprinkled it out as before. The dark cloud was then drawn back to the ocean into whose heaving waves it sunk from view. A third time I heard the myterious visi- tor, saying: "Son of the Republic, look and learn.' 'I cast my eyes upon America, and the world knows the result.

But of wh el'. presently set themselves in let me hasten to my narrative. bettl • array, one against the other. As "From the opening of the -Revolution I continued looking, I saw.a bright an we experienced all phases of fortune, gel, nn whose brow rested a crown of now good and now ill, one time victo- rious, and another conquered. The darkest period we had, however, was, I think, when Washington, after seve- ral reverses retreated to Valley Forge, where he resolved to pass the winter of '77. Ah! I have seen the tears coursing down our dear old commander's care. worn cheeks, as he would be conversing with a confidential officer about the con- dition of his poor soldiers. You have doubtless heard the story of Washing- ton going to the thicket to pray; well, it is not only true, but he used often to pray in secret for aid and comfort from that God, the interposition of whose divine providence alone brought us safe- ly through those dark days of tribula. tion. "One day, I remember it well—the chilly wind whistled and howled thro' the leafless trees, though the sky was cloudless and the sun shining brightly —he remained in his quarters nearly the whole of the afternoon alone. When he came out I noticed that his face was a shade paler than usual, and that there seemed to be something upon his mind of more than ordinary importance.— Roturning just after dusk, he dispatch- ed an orderly to the quarters of the offi- cer I mentioned, who was presently in attendance.

He was then ninety-nine, and becoming very feeble; but though so old, his dimming eyes re- kindled as he looked at Independence Hall, which he'said he had come to gaze npon once more before he was gathered home. "What time is it," raising his trem- bling eyes to the clock in the steeple, and endeavoring to shade the former with a shaking hand, "what time is it? I can't see so well now as I used to." "Half -past three." "Come, then," he continued, "let us go into the Hall—I want to tell you an incident of Washington's life, one which no one alive knows of except myself; and if you live you will before long see it verified. Mark me, I am not superstitious, but you will see it verified." Reaching the visitors' room, in which the sacred relics of our early days are preserved, we sat down upon one of the old-fashioned wooden benches, and my venerable companion related to me the following singular narrative, which, from the peculiarity of our national af- fairs at the present time, I have been induced to give to the world. I give it as nearly as possible in his own words: "When the bold action of onr Con- gress, in asserting the independence of the colonies, became known in the old world, we were laughed and scoffed at as silly, presumptuous rebels, whom British grenadiers would very soon tame into submmission; but undauntedly we prepared to make good what we had said.

And again I heard the mysterious voice, saying: "Son of tho Republic, the second peril is passed, loot; and learn.' 'And I beheld the villages, towns and cities in America increase in size and numbers, till at last they cove:ed all the land from the Allatrtic to the Pacific, ani their inhabitants became as e countless as the stars in Heaven, or as r the sand ou the s ,a shore. And again I h heard the mysterious voice, saying: 'Son of the Republic, the end of a t century cometh, look and learn.' bright angel planting the azure stand- ard he'had brought in the midst of them, cried in a loud voice to the in- habitants: - "While the stars remain and the heavens send down dew upon earth, so long shall the Republic last!' 'And taking from his brow the crown on which still blazed the word Maori,he placed it upon the standard while all the people kneeling down said, 'Amen.' 'The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling, white vapor, I had first Beheld. This also ,disappearing, I found myself once more gazing upon my mysterious visitor, who in that same mysterious voice 1 had heard be- fore, said: ''Son of the Republic, what yon have seen is thus interpreted. Three perils will come upon the Republic. The most fearful is the second passing which, the whole world united, shall never bo able to prevail against her.— Let every child of the republic learn to live for his God, his land, and Union.' 'With these words the figure vanish. ed. •I started from my seat, and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been shown to me the Birth, Progress, and Destiny, of the Republic of the United States. 'In UNION she will have her strength, in Disunion her destruction.' 'Such, my friend,' concluded the ven- erable narrator, 'were the words I heard from Washington's own lips, and Amor- ica will do well to profit by them.

Some one hal done him a great injury, the forgiveness of which his faithful minister had labored hard to induce him to profess. At length, when just at the verge of the border land, a strong last appeal was made: Tom, won't you forgive him?' Well, massa, if I'in going to die, I suppose I must; but if I ever do got well, I'll give him another dig.' Our own impression, from long and special observation, is, that death -bed repentancos have no reliable value; it is r.he repentance of desperation; there is no alternative but that of preached per- dition! the straw is eagerly clutched at pasmodically, and not with a clear, discriminating and intelligent faith.— The whole Bible gives but one saving ase; one, that none might despair ; v one, that none might presume! Of all living men, the physician feels most deeply that the sick bed is the un - fittest of all places for that mental com- posure which must be essential to a proper attention to the 'great concern.' In this light, the parading of the professed contrition of criminals thro' he newspapers is most injudicious; it s an unmixed evil. Its tendency on be minds of the living, the desperate specially, is peruicious. The soliloquy tins thus: ' I knew him' well. He was a scoundrel of the deepest dye, yet e died happy, and I can do the same hing—live a rascal and die a saint:— rims the fear of death and retribution s blunted, and the way paved for a reater abandonment to all wrong do - ng. Hence, the clergyman who steps n, and allows himself to be mado a ool of in this regard, desecrates the holy ffice, and must be pitied for his ignor- nce or despised for his presnmptuons mpertinence.—Hall's Jour. of Health. A DUTCH some part f Pennsylvania, two Dutchmen, who wilt and used in common, a small ridge over a stream which ran through heir farms, had a dispute concerning ems repairs which it required, and one f them positively refused to bear any ortion of the expenses necessary to the urchase of a few planks. Finally the ggrieved party went to a neighboring awyer, and placing ten dollars in his ands, said: 'I'll give you all dish moneys if you'll make Hans do justice mit de pridge.' How much will it cost to repair it?' sked the honest lawyer- ' Not more ash five toiler,' replied he Dutchman. ' Very well,' said the lawyer, pocket - ng one of the notes and giving him the ther, 'take this and go and get the ridge repaired; 'tis the best course you can take.' Yaaa,' said the Dutchman, slowly 'yeas, dat ish more.petter ash to quarrel mit Hans;' bet as he went along he shook his head frequently, as if unable, after all, to see quite clearly how be gained anything by going to law. But the bridge was repaired, and the Dutchman' never again invoked the aid of the lair. _ F 'At this, the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth, and S blew three distinct blasts, and taking water from the ocean, sprinkled it out t upon Europe, Asia and Africa.

By this time I felt a strange sensation spreading throughout me. I would have risen, but the rivets el gaze of the being before me render- ed volition impossible. I essayed once more to address her, but my tongue had become powerless. Even thought itself presently became paralyzed. A new influence, mysterious, potent irree sistible, took possession of me. All I could do was to gaze steadily, vacantly at my unknown visitant. Gradually the surrounding atmosphere seemed as though becoming filled with sensations, and grew luminous. Everything about me appeared to rarify, the mysterious visitor herself becoming more airy and yet even more distinct to my sight than before. I now began to feel ars one dy- ing, or rather to experience the ;seem. tions which 1 have sometimes imagined accompany dissolution. I did not think, I did not reason, I did not move; alt were alike impossible. I was only con- scious of gazing,' fixedly, vacantly at my companion. 'Iuatantly a light as of a thousand sons shone down from above me, and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment I saw the angel upon whose forehead still shone the word UNION, and who bore our nation- al flag in one hand and a sword in the other, descend from heaven attended by legions of brig!!! spirits. These imme- diately joined the inhabitants of Amer- ica, who I perceived were well nigh overcome, but who, immediately tak- ing courage again, closed up their bro- ken ranks and renewed the battle — Again amid the fearfal noise of the conflict I heard the mysterious voice, saying: 'Son of the Republic look and learn.' 'As the voice ceased the shadowy an-- gel n•gel for the last time dipped waterfrom the ocean and sprinkled it upon Amet. ica.

On a bright day, shortly after the Fourth of July, when the American troops were making warlike prepara tions for a fight with the rebels, there might have been seen, in a tent not fa from Harper's Ferry, a number of offi cers sitting around a rudely constructed table, npon which were two geese, seve- ral chickens, a portfolio, and paper, pen and ink. Beyond the lines that formed the offi- cial circle, stood a soldier, without cap, cartridge -box, belt or side -arms. The Judge Advocate took his s -at, and thus formed, what the reader may readily suppose, a court-martial. The disarmed soldier was charged with killing and capturing two geese and two chickens, and thus violating an order of the commanding General, preventing a forcible taking of person- al property. A court-martial at such times, though not wanting in dignity, is generally hurried to conclusion. The charge was read, the evidence was elicited, and it seemed to weigh heavily on the prisoner. He stood with downcast looks, when presently the Judge Advocate said: " Sir, you have heard the charge and the evidence adduced to sustain it. It has been proven by the most positive evidence that you clid, early on the morning of the 5th of July, boldly level your musket, loaded with round ball and buck -shot, and then did dis- charge said weapon, the contents there- of taking effect in the vital parts of two geese or ganders, and two chickeus, the property of some person or persons unknown. Thus you did on that spe- cial occasion violate the order of the commanding General, which was issued to prevent the killing, maiming, chas- ing or wringing the necks of any geese, chickens, ducks, goslings, pigeona,cows, sheep, goats, bulls, calves, sows, boars, roasting pigs, or any other domesti- cated animal, of whatever form or nature. Now, sir, what have you to say why sentence should not be pro flounced upon you?" " Sir " said the prisoner, raising his head and revesting the features of an irrepressible Yankee, "I acknowledge that all the evidence adduced is true, so far as it goes. The motives which prompted the act, however, are known only within my own buzzutn, and I should like to have a record of them made in mitigation of my punishment." Judge Advocate—" Spew freely and slowly. Clerk, bo sure to record every word." Clerk—" Yes, sir. Proceed, pris- oner." Prisoner—" May it ple a.,e ye, gen ticmcn, the celebration of onr National Birthday Anniversary fanned the flame of my patriotism into an eternal con- flagration. My buzzum was a bilin' ovet with the warm elixir of ' life, lib- erty, and the pursuit of happiness.' I felt happy then—as much so as if I was celebrating the birthday of onr country at my gay and happy Green Mountain home, far up in the State of Vermont. I felt, air, that I could have eaten Jeff. Davie for breakfast, lunched on Beaure- gard at eleven, served upWigfall at 3 o'clock ordinary, and made my supper on - the whole army of rebels. I had scorched my eyebrows, singed my whiskers, peeled the skin from my face, burnt my fingers, and got a piece of percussion -cap in my eye, on firing the thirteenth round in the general celebra- tion of the everlastin' glorious Fourth. But I didn't keer for all this yore; I was patriotic, and early on the mornin' of the fifth I felt paaicnlarly savages rows, and thought I'd take a mornin' stroll in the jews of the valley. I hadn't got along very far afore I secs the geese and chickens comin' along. Wall, as I said afore, I felt a mighty sight of patriotic feel in' in my buzzum, and fist to keep nay sperits up I whis- tled Yankee Doodle, and then listened to the echoes a comin' back from the woods, soundin' for the world jist liko my own mountain hoino. I thought the woods were all for the Union. I felt glorions. I whistled again and again, and so did the woods. Wall, as I said afore, the geese came along, and I increased the sound of my whis- tle. I put my fingers in my month and I did just so. [Here the patriotic prisoner gave a blow that would have done no discredit to a Pennsylvania lo- comotive.] I got about half way through the chune when the geese set up an eternal, almighty hissin', and stack their long necks and heels at mo. Crotch all hemlock and gosh mighty, but 1 fired up ! I wit, all possessed and bilin' over with patriotism and glory, and sez I, ' Darn y e ! ye'll hiss Yankee Doodle, will ye ? Now, darn ye, take that!' And -I blazed away, and fust two geese, and then two chickens drop. ped A smile played on the faces of the members of the court-martial, and' there was a deal of suppressed laughter. "But the chickens, sir—the chick- ens?" quickly responded the Jadge Advocate, "they did not hiss?" " Wall, no, sir, they didn't hiss; they seemed to be held in reset ve to cover the retreat of the rebel geese, and they fell because;they were in bad company." The next day the soldier was on duty; none the worse for the court-martial.

At a reeeteng in New York to ex- press sympathy with the loyal citizens of North Carolina. the following tribe ute to Gen. McClellan occurs in the remarks of Gen. Burnside: Our grand old chief who has just. left the head of the army, needs no eu- logy from mo. His history is made, Ile has a place in your hearts. Noth- ing,' could say would raise him in the estimation of his American people and especially the people of New York, who are so dear to him, and to whom he is so dear. But I ash your patience your forbearance for; and your confi- dence in the young chief who has as- sumed the command. I have known him intimately; as students together, as soldiers in the field, and as private citizens; for years we limo lived togeth- er in the same fatnily. I know him as well as I know any human being upon the face of the earth, and I know that no inure honest, conscientious man ex.., ists than Gen.

And I know that nothing under the sun can ever induce that than to swerve from what he believes to be his duty.— He is an honest, conscientious Christian man. And now let ine add, what I belive, and what is relieved and felt by every person who has ever come in con. tact with him, that he has the sound- est head and the clearest military per. ception of any man in the United States.

MASON AND SLIDEI,L.--'1.'I1e National lrrtelliyeucer contains an elaborate artie cle fully justiflying the the capture of Mason and Slidell. It cites authorities to show that under the acknowledged law of nations Capt. Wilkes was aus thorized to board the English steamer asd demand the delivery of persona charged with rebellion against the Gov- ernment. It is believed in Washington that this article foreshadows the ground which will be taken by the State De- partment. The 'Toronto Globe and Leader have articles severely criticising oar Govern• went for the seizure of Slidell and Ma- son. Tho Globe says it will add to the strength and dignity of the American Government if the captives are libera- ted without remonstrance from Britain. Then wo are to suppose that the en- tire consideration of the English Gov- ernment is to be expended on the rebel prisoners; nothing regarding the indige nity offered the British ship. Doubt- less our Guvernmeut will hold the pris- oners, much as she may regret the fact that an attempt has been made to shield the' traitors under the British flag. The Toronto Leader says that the capture of these rebels is an insult which the meanest Government on earth would not submit to. A Suraeme Sctse.-On the 9th of November, 1860, the national flag was lowered at Charleston and the night of treason began. One year from that date it went gallantly up at Beaufort, and floated gallantly over the gateway of the Palmetto State, in the presence of a clond of witnesses. No empty shouts broke on the air; the sight stir- red feelings too deep for words. Tho thousands of soldiers, sturdy men un used to the melting mood, looked on and wept. 'I'he Horeb of the stoutest hearts was smitten, and it gushed like the rock in the wilderness. No nobler tears were ever abed. DAY BREAKING IN EAST TENNESSEE. Union men in East Tennessee show signs of vigorous life and loyalty, hav• ing burned several bridges, and ob- structed telegraphs, thus seriously im- peding the movements of the rebels. - On the line north of Knoxville they have destreyed four bridges, and a fifth of two hundred feet span on the East 'Tennessee Railroad, they made kind- ling wood of on Saturday the 9th inst. The bridge over the Cumberland on the Nashville Road has also been destroyed and the rebels are. full of trouble. This is. brighter intelligence from !Tennessee, than that of a Federal victo- ry won by troops sent thither, could possibly be, foe it reveals the fact that the old patriotic fires are not dead but sleeping, and that when fairly kindled, they will make the State too hot to hold the traitors; who will begin to think themselves tormented before their time. "Tho Washington cofeespcndent of the Philadelphia Press says that Mr. Buchanan does not conceal the fact that he is preparing to launch a thunderbolt upon the country either before or after his death, in the shape of a history of his own time, and a vindication of his Administration. In this great work he is aseisted by ex -Attorney General Black, who spends most of his time in Washington, and his late private Secre- tary, Adam J. Grossbrenner.

MAS')N AND SLIDELL TAKEN. Messrs. Slidell and Mason, the Am bassadors of the rebellious States, are npt to have a chance of airing their di plomatie knowledge to Lord John, or U. '1'houvenel, or of exhibiting their magnificent proportions on the Bonle• toads of Paris, or Regent street, Lon- don. Quite the contrary: a caseinate at Fort Warren must content them for the present. Some days ago it was announced, on the authority of a Liverpool paper, that the steamer Fingal had sailed from the port of Greenock, Scotland, with arms and munitions of war for the Southern rebels. At Havana the cargo was pla- ced on board the rebel steamer Nash ville, to carry it through the blockade, (which has been accomplished,) and the Fingal received in exchange, James M. Mason, of Virginia, and John Sli- dell, of Louisiana, the accredited Am- bassadors, of the so-called Southern Con- federacy, to the courts of Great Britain and France. Of course they sailed for Europe enjoying the serene confidence, that the red cross of St. George would protect them from prying Yankee crui• sees. But alas! the commander of the war steamer San Jacinto, failed in due respect to the bunting at the mast head the Fingal and by force -aye, by force, John Bull -transferred in a very brief time Slidell and Mason, from the cabin of the English steamer, to the care of Gen. Wool at Fortress Monroe. We certainly owe England an apol- ogy. Make it, of course; but at the same time make commander Wilkes a Post Captain. No event of the war will be hailed with greater satisfaction than the ap. prehension of these notorious traitors. They were both capable of doing us groat harm in Europe -Slidell partic ularly, through his Parisian connections great wealth, and knowledge of the French language and custums, and above all his unsurpassed capacity for intrigue and chicanery. Mason is not the man of the capacity of Slidell, but as rho Chairman of the Committee of Foreign Affairs of the Senate, for a dozon years, ho possesses a dangerous knowledge of our relations with all the European powers. Some may fear this may draw us into a difficulty with England. John will he as docile and truculent after Port Royal, es ho was bullying and patronizing after Bull's Run. It is the nature of the animal; and if it were not we do not know a single national event the occurrence of which the people of the North feel a less dread of, than a contest with England. Her anti -slave. ry professions have been made at Exe- eter Hall, but her pro slavery practice is shown by her tacit encouragement of the Southern rebellion. MURDER AT SHIELDSVILLE.-Tho Far- ibault Statesman gives the following particulars of a murder, which occurred at Shieldaville, Rice couuty, on the 5th instant: It seems that a personal feud had ex- isted for sometime between one Daniel Lyden and a family by the name of Deveraux, and difficulties had taken place in which young Deveraux had ta- ken part. On Tuesday rnorning Dev- eraux's cattle had broken into a field of Lyden's, and Lyden had set a dog on them, and one of the cattle was injured. Robert Deveraux and his brother wont over to Leyden's, when hard words ensued, and threats were exchang- ed, when Leyden directed his eldest boy (about 14 years of age,) to bring out his gun. At this Deveraux stated off a few rods; when the gun having been brought, Leyden took deliberate aim, over a stump, and shot Devereux dead, the ball entering the breast, and killing him intently. Leyden fled, and all ef- forts to arrest him, thus far, have pt•ov. ineffectual. Coroner Smallage held an inquest on the body of yonng Deveraux on rho 8th instant, and the above facts were elici- ted. The boy of Leyden's who brought the gun to his father, has been arrested and is lodged in jail as an accessory. Leyden is about fifty years of age, and has a family of four children. Dever - aux ens a single man, about twenty years of age. RUNNING THE BLOCKADE, -The Bar. rnuda, a British steamship, which a few weeks ago carried arms to rebel hands, and joy to rebel hearts, by running the blockade at Savannah, has repeated the attempt, with equal success, carrying out to Englaud a cargo of Cotten. The method was probably simple. The tug which subsequently dragged her beyond the bar, had previously, been reconnoitering, ascertained the absence of the coast•gnard, so that there was nothing to impede escape. For, on the theory that any guard was at that point of the coast, it is impossible to account for the escape of a first-class merchant steamer, openly towed out to sea, with- out assuming connivance on the part of th , National officers, THRE.\TENED FAMINE IN IRE- MATERIAL OF THE FEDERAL LAND. AND REBEL ARMIES A wail of distress reaches us from across the sea. Ireland is threatened with another famine.- The potato° crop has proved a failure, and thous- ands of unhappy peasants are brought face to face with hunger. The greatest consternation prevails among the peo- ple. The alarm has been sor.nded by the press and the pulpit, meetings have been held, petitions for relief circulated and appeals been made to the heads of State. Archbishop McHale has called the attention of Lord Palmerston to the subject in a letter whose revelations of destitution makes one's blood run cold. The Archbishop says: - "The potato crop- the staple food of our people -is gone, and when not entirely gone, is so deteriorated in qual• ity and flavor as to be almost useless as an article of food. On the sad state of the potato crop I can speak with an an. thority derived from an observation over a large extent of Gelaway and Mayo. Since the begining of August I have been th-ongh the remotest district of either-Clifdeu, Westport, Achill, Castlebar, Claremorris, Dunmore, and Moylough-strange names, which the Government official will explain, and in short, through every portion, north to south, and west to east. I have not only heard the different reports, but have had frequent opportunity ot tests ing the qualities of this esculent, and I can safely and solemnly declare that of this year's crop no quantity would be sufficient to maintain the population, were it more abundant, during the corning half year. It is high time, then, for her Majesty's Ministers to adopt prompt and efficient precautionary measures, if they are desirous that the remnant of the l.tish people should not be swept away." IioW 'THE WEST' TAKES 'HARD TIMES: -A correspondent of the Evening Post says: "Always brave and bustling, it is impossible to silence the West. This enterprising city looks cheerful and live- ly as ever, even though its heavy capi• talists aro personally depressed. Not only is the wheat harvest pouring iu from the country, but the browned and sturdy harvesters themselves have laid aside the scythe and sickle, and are ready for a little show of muscle in a different kind of field, where the ems ployer is their country, the harvest the establishment of liberty and order. - The expectations of the Government in regard to the enlisting of the farmers were not baseless. Never have a finer, more ablesbodied and devoted ,class of men been secured for the war than are now corning from among the farmers of the \Vest. The fresh start given to re- cruiting iu Illinois and Iowa proceeds from good and true mon, who thought they could servo their country best Ly first gathering in the fruits of the earth and then going to the war. A compa- ny that I saw yesterday, at Freeport, calling themselves the "Stephenson County Farmers,' embraced many own- ers of huge farms, some of them gray headed, and all deterueine•J, vigilant and powerful men.", A'writer from Kentucky in the New York T mea, 4bus disposes of tha claim, constantly reiterated, until the masses of the South were folly convinced of its truth, that the men of the latter see tion were the superiors in physique to the hardy sons of the North. He says: "This people will also be much ben- efitted by the opportunity they have so recently enjoyed, of contrasting the ma• terial of the Federal and rebel armies. Perhaps there has been no error so fondly inculcated by Southern dema- gogues as that which flattered the pee- ple of the South, that they were the su periors of the Northern people. 'that pleasant delusion has already received fatal shocks wherever opportunity for comparison has been offered. The lie is now so palpable in Kentucky that the people are ashamed that they ever entertained it, and we find them eager to apologize for their late ignorance. - They attribute it, correctly, to politi- clans, who have so industriously edus cated them in the belief of absurd false- hoods daring so many years. Through all ages men have regarded physical su- periority as proof of popular or nation al superiority. The Senthern people, having been taught to believe them- selves unequaled in physical strength, having aceepted this with all the long train of delusions which their teachers have imposed upon them in promoting their darling schemes for the creation of a Southern Confederacy, and have thus readily fallen into the trap prepared for them, But here, too, as in the moral and intellectnal qualifications, they have Ibeen awakened as if from a dream, I shall never forget the undisguised sure prise manifested by hundreds of Ken- tuckians -who had imagined their peo• ple were the largest and strongest men In the world -when the stalwart cols toms of Hoosiers and Buckeyes -the Anakims of the Ohio Valley -stalked through their blue grass doevn the mountains. Indeed, wo were hardly less surprised to find that in solidity, strength, and in all the qualities which constitute the pi ysical man, our regi- ments from north of the Ohio River were the superiors of any Southern reg• iment we have seen. If our eyes do not deceive us, a thousand Hoosiers, or a thousand Buckeyes, taken by the reg- iment and placed on the scales, would make any Kentucky regiment of a thousand nen kick the beam-notwith. standing the size and form of our gal- lant brethren. I have made similar comparisons heretofore between Virgin- ians and Georgians, whom we conquer. ed in Western Virginia. 1 tnentiou these facts without, in the remotest de• gree, intending to discourage any of out countryman, but merely to record a fact established by actual comparison. The question of superior spirit rind gallant- ry on the battle -field remains to be tested." tarThe following is (lie record of the Navy Register, concerning Commo- dore Dupont: ''Samuel F. Dupont, born in New Jersey; appointed from Delaware; a citizen from Delaware; original entry into the service December 19, 1815: date of preseut commission September 14, 1855; total sea service, twerity•one years and ten months; length of time in the service on sea and shore, forty-fonr years; last at sea May,` 1859; now awaiting orders.” The Phil., adelphia PRESS has the following notice I of the Commodore: "It is well in this hour of exultation to remember and to record the very embarrassing and dangerous circum- stances under which Commodore Du pont sailed upon this great expedition. Ile had an enormous fleet to manage. immense supplies, a large and almost multitudinons command, and started amidst the doubts of many, with the consciousness that moat of those wbo supported him were fresh and nndisci• plined; and, as if to try his equanimi- ty and courage, a terrific storm broke upon his great squadron, well calcula- ted to demoralize all but those seasons ed to the perils of the treacberons deep. If be has accomplished the good work, lot all honor be paid to him. Commo' dore Dupont is a citizen of Delaware. His family is loyal to the back bone, and he himself, 'although no young 1 elan, belongs to the progressiveness of the naval service. Unlike many he stands by hie flag, not for pay, but be- cause he believes in the immortal issues involved in this conflict." L'Twelve ladies in Europe, and twelve only, are elligible to the hand of the Prince of Wales. The requisiters for the honor are royal birth, Protest- antism and youth. A princess of Den- mark is talked of as the most probable future Queen of England. There is not a lady in this country u h) is not his equal in rank. -The unfortunate expedition from Uairo to Belmont, cost us in ki:led, wounded, missing, and made prisoners, four hunnred and five toren. Nearly all the field and commission- ed officers of the Iowa 7th were wound- ed. This regiment and the 22nd Ili- nois were moat exposed to the enemy's fire. and their aggregate loss was over 250. The gallant conduct of our troops, and the desperate character of the en• gagament may be inferred from the fact that in the list of killed and wounded are two Colonels, one Major eight Cap- tains, four 1st Lieutenants, and sixteen sergeants and corporals, THE UorERNOR Dr.FENDED.•-The Press of Friday last defends the Gov- ernor's late appointments of field offi- cers from street attacks; possibly he might have made appointments that would have rendered defence unneces- sary. '('inc Press says loyalty, military education, spending money to raise vol- unteers, &e , were the considerations which governed the Governor in his se- lections. When one man who had spent years in the study of military tacti,:s, had for three years been the drill master of some of the best 'disciplined voluntaer regi• meats in New York; another, a gradu ate of the Vermont Military Academy; another who had even servico-were all set aside for Hadley, we have no doubt military education was duly considered. We suppose money expenditure was considered in his case also, for though we have never heard of his spending money to raise volunteers, we under- stand he said he had spent between two and three hundred dollars to secure the office of Major. Locality of course had much to do with the selections. The residents of certain localities in the State seem to be in high favor so far as the hest appointments are concerned, with both State and National Administra- tions. The Saintly City and Winona can furnish Colonels enough for al) the regiments in ten States, and doubtless another Major and another Sutler might be found in St. Paul.-Faribault Re- publican. PRINCE NAPOLEON'S REPORT. -We have seen a private letter from a gentle- man who knows of what ho writes, which says that "the Prince Napoleon, since hie return from America, makes no disguise iu expressing both in pub- lic and in private, his decided convic- tion that the North is not only abtnd• antly able to whip the slaveholders, but that it will do it and ought to do it, and the sooner the better. From the general course for the last fortnight it is easy to see that all France is reach- ing the same conclusion. -N. Y. Post /f 'Kentuc'ay has proved herself loy- al to the Union -not only by word, but by deed. By a statement, which we have seen in the Cincinnati papers she has at the present time some 26,000 teen in the field in the service of the Federal Government. This is over her full quota; and if we take into consid- eration the opposition which her locals ity compels her to contend with, it would make her the banner State of the Union. Hurrah for ''Old Kentuckl" No SUCCESS FOR THE TRAIToae IN Eoaorg.-At Boston on the 13th, one James Brown was arrested as a seces- sionist. On his person was found a let- ter from Win. L. Yancey, in England, to his son in Alabama, in which he speaks discouragingly of th3 prospects for the recognition of the Southern Con federaoy by European powers. A rumor is afloat that 300 of the 80th New York had been taken prison- ers by the rebels; the minor is discred- ited' however. LATEST NEWS. ITHE GUN -BOATS AT BELMONT.

The Parts Debate, in speaking of Mexican affairs, says the powers at the commencement are to endeavor to im- pose a suspension of arms on the bele ligerent parties in Mexico; they under- take not to occupy permanently any part of her territory; to obtain no ex- clusive advantage from Mexico. Eng- land gave up the conditions which she wished in the treaty; namely, that three powers should pledge themselves not to accept the throne of Mexico for any Prince of their reigning families. If the monarchial form prevails the pow- ers pledge themselves not to use inter vention for the profit of any Prince in particular.

The patrol immediately informed the commander of the fleet, who sent a force and shelled them off the island with great loss. Their object wasi!to get together some five thousand or more rebels, and make another night attack on Wilson's Zouaves. The greatest vigilance is ex- ercised by the commander of the Zouave The Times says we have reliable in- formation that when the news of the capture of Port Royal reached the Con- federate camp at Manassas, three South Carolina regiments demanded permis- sion to declare their intention to return at once to the protection of their own State. Orders were issued from Head- quarters to prevent their departure at all hazards. The declaration of State Sovereignty, and of the right of seces- sion, rhes not stem to find as much fas vor with the Confederate authorities as it did at the outset of the rebellion. ST.

The divisions of Hu ter, Sturgis and Pope, have reached points on the Pacific railroad, where they will await orders from General Halleck.- Gen. Wyman's brigade reached Rolla yesterday, and the divisions of Siegel and Ashboth will arrive to day or to morrow. General Wyman brought n number of rebel prisoners among whom are Col. Price and several officers. WARRINGTON, Nov. 18. --[Tribune Despatch]=Despatches from General Dix state that the rebels in Acromac county have been dispersed; Dix's proclamation went into effect on the previous day. They may rally in North• ampton, but uselessly. The Union men from Accomac wore bnying Union flags in Maryland to hoist as soon as our troops entered the country. It is not improbable the steamer Trent may be ove►hauled by two other American war vessels before she roaches her destination. Col.

The expedi tion is commanded by Gen.

A WO IA r OF GOOD TASTE.—You see this lady turning a cold eye to the as- surances of shopman and the recom- mendation of milliners. She cares no: how el-ginal a pattern may be if it be nwkward. Whatever laws fashion dic- tates, rhe follows a law of her own, and is never behind it, She wears very beautiful things which people generally suppose to be fetched from Paris, or at least made by a French milliner, but which as often are bought at the near- est town and made up by her own hand. Not that her costume is either rich or nets; on the contrary, she wears many a cheap dress, but it is always good.— She deals in no gaudy confusion of colors, nor does she affect a studied so- briety; sire either refreshes you with a spirited contrast or composes you with a judicious harmony. Not a scrap ot tinsel or trumpsry appear; upon her.— She pnts no faith in velvet bands, gilt buttons or twisted cording. She is quite aware, however, that the garnish is as important as the dress, all her inner borders and headings are delicate and fresh; and should anything peep, but which is intended to be seen, it is quite AS much as that which is After all, their is no groat arteither in her fash- ions or her mat trills. The secret sim- ply consists in her knowledge, of the three unities of dress—her own station, her own age, and her own points. And few woman who can drese well who do not. After this we need not say that whoever is attached by by the customs will not be disappointed in the wearer. She may not be handsome nor accom• plished, bot we will answer for her be. ing even tempered, well informed thor- oughly sensible, awl a complete lady. AN INCIDENT OF THE CAMP.—Among the passengers ou the steamer Wood- side, who came from the vicinity of New Martinsville on Saturday night, was a soldier, who, we believe, had enlisted in Capt. Radcliffe's company. Among the passengers by the Sallie List, on Sunday, was a young woman from the same vicluity, to whom this soldier had been paying his addresses. Tho object of tho visit of the young lady was to compel the soldier to marry her before he buckled on his armor for the war.— Whether the soldier entered the bonds of matrimony willingly or not we are not advised, but on Sunday evening, at a tavern in Centre Wheeling? the cere- moil was perfor,ned by the excellent pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, after wl ich the new wife bade her new husband God speed on his way to do battlie for htiecountry.— Wheeling Inieltigencer•. • side the fort.

He died in two hours his last words expressing happiness that he had done something for Itis country. EFFECT OF THE FIRE. The effect of our fire on the forts was terribly grand and majestic. Souse shots struck the beach before the fortifications throwing up clouds of the yellow sand, high as the ships mast driving its blind- ing shower in the faces of the secession gunners like volleys of small shot, sometimes driving them from their guns and sometimes forcing them to fall upon their faces. Some shots and shells fell directly in the forts among the rebels, and, burst- ing in a moment after, literally tore ev erything near them in pieces, occasion ally dismounting a gun, and mingling broken cessions, carriages, splinter, of timber. tulle of sod, and fragments of amen in horiible confusion. blackened by the hot balls, and red with human blood. Other misoles whizzed over the forte on the long plain behind, or still further on, crashed among the woods in a continual shower, through which the rebel reinforcements dared not yen• tura to relieve the gun-ers at the batter ries. At Hilton Head two red.shirred gunners labored actively at alarge titled cannon on the right of the work, load- ing and firing it with the greatest rapid- ity and daring. During a loll in the firing, while the fleet was winding the batterries to take position for another brush, the two red -shitted gunners sat on the parapet alone, ail the others having rstired to the interior of the works. A shell from one of the gun- boats in Skull Creek struck on the par- apet and burst with a white smoke in the battery. When the smoke cleared away the redeshirts were gone, doubt - le -s killed by the ball. Tito sight of a bomb fired through the air is a spectacle of impressive inter- est, and during the fight these deadly missiles made continual paths through the air like scores of fiery meteors crossing and re•crossing each other's br- bits in all directions. Each bomb rises upward, gracefully curving tied de scending with the same apted with which it rises, leavin; a thin mark of white smoke along its path, that fades purple, and then to a pale blue that vanishes in light air, A few buret be- fore striking the ground, and produced the unusual spectacle of an areial ex- plosion, thousands of fragments scatter ing over the space for a musket shot distance around. When the Seventh Connecticut Reg- iment and the Fourth New Hampebire landed, dead were seen an every side. - One of the largest guns was dismount- ed, and by its side was a mingled pool of flesh and brains and blood. redden- ing the splintered fragments of beams and the sandy earth. It was the last of a secession gunner. Throughout all the interior of the fort tho sanguinary signs, clots of hair and chattered bones, teeti- fred to the efficacy of onr fire. Three wounded men were ftrund in a dying condition, having been shamefully neg. be tvith a suspit.ioue glance. One of the negroes stated the num- ber of something about which he was interrogated, and when asked how he learned to count replied: 'Picking cot- ton, mason; we'se all got to count when we picks cotton.' As yet, all the contrabands that have come in aro males, it being probable that the females did not dare to run the risk of being shot by their masters, as those di 1 who refused to flee with them. SAILOne VS. SOLDIERS. The greenness of some of the soldiers in nautial matters was amusing, and the jokes perpetrated by the naughty Jacks are not less so. The rules prevailing on shipboard were very incomprehensi• ble to their.. For example, they were not allowed to go on the wheelhouses, a guard being stationed there to motion them away. One lank -limbed Yankee took no heed of the motions, but was ascending the ladder, when the guard shouted, 'Stop you mnetn't come up here' 'Hallo; why not?' says Yankee, never thinking of obeying without a good reason 'Soldiers are not allow- ed up here; says the guard.

REMINISCENCES of ARMY OFFICERS.— The Yrarie du Chien Leader says: 'old r?sidents here have the past brought np again, from seeing army officers who were once stationed here, figuring so frequently in the news of this rebellion. Many of the officers, now prominent in the Federal and rebel armies, have been stationed at this post, Fort Crawford.— Colonel rawford—Colonel Pegram, the rabel officer killed n Western Virginia, was here. Gene- ral Lyon, the hero ot Missouri, whose death is being lamented everywhere, was stationed here as Captain. Gene- ral Sumner was also here at the same time, as Captain. Of course everybody knows that old Zack was here. Jeff Davis was here as Lieutenant, and it is here that he was married to General Taylor's daughter. There is no truth in the story that be ran off with her.— They were married with the consent of her parents, by the late Judge Lock- wood, of Prairie du Chien, in an old house that stood near the garrison.— JeIT Davis has a good many friends here who would like to see him ---hung.' BEAUTIFUL IDEA —In the mountains it is the custom for the women and children to come ont, when it is bed- time, and sing their national songs un- til they hear their husbands, fathers and brothers answer them from the hills on their return home. On the shores of the Adriatic such a custom prevails.— There the wives of the flahermen come dawn abont sunset, and 'sing a melody. After singing the first stents, they lists en awhile for an answering melody from off the water, and continue to sing and listen till the well-known voice comes borne on the waters, telling that the loved one is almost home.

Our brilliant exploits would soon come to an end without the sinews of war. Congress authorized a loan of 8260,000,000, which Mr. Chase has provided for in the following manner. The Associated Banks of New York, Pleiladelplua and Boston took 8100,- 000,000 of the loan bearing 7.30 per cent. interest, they reselling to takers among private individuals and other co-oporations. Of this $100,000,000 the large sum of 830,000,000 of this stock has been resold. Mr. Chase has determined to issue 850,000.000 in de- mand notes, payable in the principal cities. These aro partly issued, and are being sent out as fast as the public convenience demands. They, ot course, do not bear interest. The Secretary went to New York last week and negotiated another loan of 50,000,000. This is in the shape of Government stock, bearing 6 per cent. interest, at the equivalent of a 7 per cent,stock at par, which is equal to 90.51-100. If thought desirable, the bankers have an option of taking a 5 per cent stock at an equivalent rate.— This was taken at onset on the request of Mr Chase.

Enormous as the war is and will be, it will not be permitted to bankrupt either the Government or the people.— Mr. Cameron's report will also proba- bly contain recommendations that will go far to abolish the distinction between regulars and volunteer; among these will be the repeal of the regulation which confers rank on the regular offi- cers over the volunteers of the same grade, leaving it to be determined, by smeisio nsiorin. tyscon a• to date of co - The expedition which left some • days ago, down the Potomac, returned this morning with six politi cal prisioners arrested in St. Mary's, Md, It appeares that these parties are a portion of a secret organization for he purpose of conveying men and arm? to rebel goiernment.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80. --Govern- ment has received information of the capture of a Canadian steamer with a cargo of arms and clothing intended for the rebels. The report is that a federal cutter overhauled her off the coast of Maine, and on boarding her it was found she contained 10,000 mus- kets and a large amount of boots and shoes and clothing; the steamer's name is not given, but she is said to be of light draft. The Navy Department is in receipt of a dispatch from Cum. Dupont con- taining the report of commander John Rogers of the Pochabontas, dated Sunday, Nov. 24th, off Tybee Island. He states this point entirely controls the ship channel to the Savannah Riv- er, which is only within 5000 yards of the Fort, and the possession of it closes the harbor of Savannah, and that Fort Pulaski is at the mercy of our forces, the moment the latter desire to take it. Also that reliable accounts inform him that Savannah was being evacuated by the people as fast as pos- sible, fearing that Commander ILogere would attempt to take possession of it. He farther relates that Com. Tatnall, of the rebel fleet, had given it as his opinion that the entire rebel defences of southern toast be abandone:I as they could not stand the armament of our fleet. The Norfolk Day Rook of Thursday contains a dispatch from Pensacola, stating that the only damage thus far suffered by the Unionists was in two of their vessels, which were so much in- jured that they were obliged to retire.

Most probably this will prove an affair to be investigated by the United States Government. Another valuable prize arrived at the Brooklyn navy yard yesterday, which was captured after three hours chase on the 25th, by the steamer Pen- guin, while heading for Edisto Island near Charleston, S. C. She prove[[ to be the sch000ner Albion from Nassau, N.

If further proof were required of the meanness and cowardly bullying in the line of conduct pursued by the Captain of the San Jacinto, I may remark, first that, on being asked if they would havo committed this outrage if we had been a man -of war, they replied, "certainly not," and, secondly, that Capt.

ELEVEN REBELLi0NS.--S•aCO the ors ganization of the Federal Government, eleven attempts have been made to re- sist its authority. 'The fir,t was in 1782, a conspiracy of some of the officers of the Federal Army to consolidate the fourteen States into one. and confer the supretr.e power on Washington. The second was in 1787, called Shay's insurrection in Massachusetts. The third in 1794, called tlte'Whis- ky Insurrection' of Pensylvania. The fourth in 1814, by the Hartford Con• emotion.

Shortly thereafter, a body of rebel cavalry came on at speed; they were equally surpris- ed and damaged.

A few more sharp lessons like this will have a. beneficial effect on the rebel scooting parties. Tue FIRESIDE.—Now that the work of the fruitful year is done, the sun with- draws his mighty legions to conquer winter and night in other :egions,leav- ing the happy farmer rich in his gath- ered treasurers, for a time to enjoy the fruit of his soil, and time to cultivate in a pleasant social way, the acquaints anco of his wife and children. Blessed is the fireside—the farmer's fireside -- In the heat of rho summer we do not draw together closely. Tho window is flung up, the doors Stan 1 wide open, we loll on the porch, we stray into the garden. Wo do not care to have even our friends to near us. But the keen, frosty air greatly increases cohesive at- traction, and the house becomes a great center of iuterest. We kindle the fire in the grate, and draw around the rod• dy blaze with a new sense of the bless- edness of home, only singing—''Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam.' In tropical regions it is asserted that the two of home and family is far more evanosc3nt than in the cool, temperate region, where winter annually tones up the relaxed energies due to the tropical beat of summer. Hence the fireside becomes a bond of union to families, of immense social import. 'He sitteth the solitary in families,' is one of the most beautiful expressions of Diviue Love to tho race.

'How many young men have been injured and perhaps ruined by false suspicion,' remarked try mercantile friend, as wo were conversing upon the subject of the 'panic,' a few eve- nings since. Suspicion is like an as- sassin in the dark; it stabs its victim and ho knows not whence; the blow comes Or it may be mere like the keen frost seizing npon the cars, and driving back lits blood, and yet the poor man is totally ignorant of his sit• nation till he comes in contact with the heat, and begins to feel the stinging pain. But I never told you of the only time that suspicion of evil was ever fastended upon me. It has nothing to do with the subject tin- der consideration, though it serves to show how merchants lose money. When a mere youth I was placed in the hands of Jacob Wharton, a mer- chant doing a good business. 1 was frugal, industrious and faithful, and at the age of twenty -ono I was advanced to book keeper, with a good sala:y. I had charge of the books and the safe, and all money left over banking hours was also in my care. I tried to do my duty faithfully and I think' succeeded. Mr. Wharton was a close methodical man, with a quick eve and a ready un- derstanding of business, and as I fan- cied by was satisfied, I felt much pleased. I had been a book-keeper a year, when I thought my emplcyer's man- ner towards me seemed changed—he began to treat mo more coolly and finally I was sure he watched my movements with distrustful glances; I became nervous and uneasy. for I feared I had offended him. • But the thing came to a head at length. One evening when I was alone in the store, engaged in making up my ash account, Mr Wharton came to me with a troubled look and spoke. His voice was tremulous and I could sec that he was deeply aflicted; he said: 'George, I am sorry for the convic- tion which has been forced upon me; I fear you have not been treating me as you had ought.' I mating ‘d in ,pito of my astonish merit to ask him what he meant. 'I fear you are not honest,' was his reply. IIad a thunderbolt fallen npon me, I could not have been more startled. Tot Lonest! And there I had been for years making it my chief aim and study how to servo him moat faith• fully! I do net remember what I said first —I only know that tears came into my eyes—that my lips trembled —and that my utterance wan almost choked.— How long had he held suspicions? I asked him and he told me for two months. 'Heavens! You have suspected me thus and still left sue in the datk!— After serving you 80 long—after striv ing for faith and honor that I might win your esteem—to suspect me in so- eret ! to look upon me an a thief and yet not tell me! Olt, I would not have believed it!' 'Let us talk this matter over calmly,' said he, his old kind tone returning.— Ile was wavering. I felt at first like telling him that he should have done this before; but as he seemed ready t3 reason now I found no fault. 'Yon have spent considerable money of late,' he began. 'Ilow?' I nAted. 'IIavo you not built a house?' 'Yes, sir—and paid for it, tou;—and thus have given my dear mother a nice, comfortable home.' Mr. Wharton was staggered for a moment by my frauk and feeling reply; but pretty soon he asked: 'What did the house cost y ou?' 'Just fifteen hnn fired dollars.' 'My mother owned the land. And I suppose you would like to know where I got the money. You, sir, learned me how to save it. I have been with you for six years. The first year you paid me fifty dollars and 1 laid up twenty-five of it. The second and third years you gave mo a hundred dollars, and of that I laid up sixty dollars a year. Tho fourth year you made mea clerk and gave me five hundred dollars. My mother was able to feed me and as our little cot arts swered for the time, I got along that year upon an expense of seventysfive dollars. The next year you paid me six hundred on conditions that I would help keep your books. I saved five hundred that year. This last year you have paid me ono thousand dollars, and I have spent only the interest of what I had previously invested, so that thousand was not touched. 'Of course my mother has worked, but chose to do it. I have paid fifteen hundred dollars for my house and have five hundred dollars in the savings bank. This is a plain statement of affairs.' My employer seemed more puzzled than before. 'Now; said I,'I have given you an account, and will you be equally frank and tell me all that has happened to excite this suspicion?' 'I will,' said he, taking a Beat near me. 'Within the last year I must have lost more than two thousand dollarit It must have been taken from the store.

HALDEN dt SALTZ, PAINTERSdrPAPE•E-HANGERS Shop on Vermillion street, 'RATINGS, •MINNES,OTA much cash I -have received. 'I began to be watchful four months since. Two months ago a man paid me in the afternoon five hundred dol- lars. I put it in the drawer, and on the next morning before you came in, I looked at your cash account and found only two hundred of that set down. From that time I have been very watchfel and havedetected a doz. en similar cases. I have noted every dollar that came in after the bank ac- count was made and 'have also taken note of the amount entered upon the book, and during that time there . has been a leaking of over .seven hundred dollars! Now who has access to that drawer and to the safe!' I was astonished. I could only as- snre my employer that I knew noth- ing of it; and as I saw he wanted to believe me, I asked him if he had spoken of this to any one else. Not a living soul but me, he replied. I pondered a few moments and then said: 'Mr. Wharton, could I bo made to believe that even ignorantly I had wronged you to the value of a dollar, I should not feel the perfect conscious- ness of honor I now feel. There must be a thief somewhere. Some of the clerks may find access to the money. But aro you willing to let the matter rest a few days? I will strain every neave to detect the evil doer.' He finally consented to let me try my bad at detecting the thief. He prom- ised not to lisp a word upon the sub, ject to any one else, and also to leave the matter wholly in my hands for a week. He gave me a warm grasp when we separated, and said he hoped I would succeed. On the following morning all my en• orgies of mind entered upon the work foro me. There were four clerks or salesmen, the one a boy, in constant attendance besides myself, and all money received had to pass through' my hands. Sometimes I made up my cash ac- count at night, and sometime, not un- til the next morning. In the latter case I generally put the money drawer into the safe and locked it up. The key to this safe was kept in 8 small drawer, to which . there were two keys, one of which I kept, while Mr. Wharton kept the other. The only other one who ever helped us in the store was Henry Wharton, my employer's only son, a youth of twenty years. He was preparing for college under a private tutor, but found time to help us when business was dris ving; was a kind-hearted, geuerous fel- low, and a strong mutual attachment had sprung up between us. At first 1 thought of getting him to help me find the thief, but as Wharton had prom- ised to speak to no one on the subject, I concluded to do the same. That night I counted the money, but made no entry on the account. There were three hundred and forty odd dol. lars. I put it in a new calf -skin pock- et book—placed that in tbe moneys drawer, and locked the whole up in the safe. On the following morning there were fifty dollars missiug. I conntecl the money over carefully, and I was not mistaken. I began to feel un- pleasant. My suspicions took a very unwelcome turn. During that day I pondered upon the subject, and finally hit upon the follows ing experiment: When I locked up the safe for the night, I spread upon the knob of the door and upon the money drawer some pale red lead, being careful not to get enongh on to be easily noticed. I had left the cash account open to be closed up in the morning. When I next opened the safe all was as I had left it. The next night I fixed the knob in the same manner, acid on the following morning I found forty dollars gone! Upon the pocket -book were finger marks of red lead; and when I name to open the cash book I found the same kind of marks there. So I had learned one' thing: the. thief knew enough to see whether any account had been made of the money, before he took it. I felt more unpleasant than before, for my unwelcome suspicions were bes ing confirmed. I had gained now light. There was a peculiarity in the red finger marks which told a sad story. Still I wished, to try still farther. For two nights after this the safe re- mained undisturbed, but on the third night 1 missed seventy -fire dollars, and I had now set my trap more carefully. The red pigment was not only used, but a private mark upon every bill in the drawer. The pocket book and the cash book were fingered as before, and the marks were clear and distinct. When the week was up Mr. Whar- ton came and asked what I had found. 'Ahr said he, as he noticed the sor- rowful expression of my countenance, —'yon have failed to discover any- thing.' 'Alas, I wish I could say so!' I re- plied. 'I have discovered too much. In the first place the money has been taken from the safe and the key left in the'properdrawer and looked up as usual. Also the cash book has been examined each time to see if as entry has been made of tbe money. There I I bave beam one hundred and -sixty-five dollars in taken •nh,' 'But how do you know the cash book hag been •s;ramiued l' . - 'I will show you,' I said, producing both the cash book and the pocket book, you bee those finger marks?' 'Yes.' 'And now,' I continued, 'just ex- amine them carefully. Observe bow the leaves of the cash book were turned over and also see bow the strap of the pocket book was tucked inter its place. Do you see anything peculiar about it?' 'Only that the finger marks are very plain' 'But can you not distinguish thumb marks from those made with fipggrit' 'Yes.' 'Then tell me this,' I returned— ' Which hand did the thief use moat dexterotcely?' Wharton gazed upon the marks and finally gasped— 'Tuns LeFTI' 'So he did,' I returned, 'aed all tbe maiks have been made the same. The thief is a left banded one, and is ac- quainted with the store and the books, and can gain easy access here. But I have yet another mark.' 'The last bills that were taken were all marked with t, small red cross npon the numerical in the right hand and up- per corner. You eau follow these np, for I have neither he courage nor the heart to do it.' The merchant sank back, as pale as death itself. Henry is the only left-handed per- son on the premises!' he groaned, gaz- ing on me as though he wished I would deny the statement. But I could not, I knew that his son was the guilty party. 'Ask no more; I said, with tears in my eyes, for his agony deep- ly mooved me ''The secret is lock- ed up in my own breast, and ueithec to you nor to any living being will I ev- er call the name of the one whom I suspect.' The stricken man grasped my hand, and with sobs and teats he begged my pardon for the wrong be had done me, and thanked me for the assurance I had given him. On the following morning he brought me two different bills, each marked with the red cross. 'I know all now,' be whispered in broken accents; 'be kind to bim, and let not this go to the world.' I kept my promise, and lived to see the old man smile again; for when Henry saw the deep agony of his fath• er, his heart was touched, and he not only acknowledged all his wild sins and humbly begged for pardon, but be- came a true and good man, and an honor and ornament to society.

Can it be believed that there are American freemen dastardly enough to raise a cry like that! There is not a day that we do net hear it. Il is bawled at every point of the compass, and comes down to us from the sacred walls of the capitol. They demand e- mancipation as a military necessity. In effect we are told' that twenty millions of the North are no match for six millions of the South—that we aro doomed to defeat unless we get the help of the black man. They do not like to put it just in that style, but it amounts to exactly that. Short cf that their military necessity would be a misnomer, and their claim to abolitionize under the war power the baldest pretext. We say that a viler in salt was never dealt upon the Northern name. The worst libel ever uttered by Southern slave drivers does not equal it. If it be true that, with such numerical odds in our favor, and with the noblest cause that ever appealed to man, we must crave the succor of slaves; if we must look to the poor, blind, creeping African to help vindicate our birthright and stay us iu our extremity, then let it be recor- ded we are "mueslis" indeed. There is no word of scorn too low for tie. We cannot court the alliance of slaves with out proving that we are ourselves fit to be slaves. It is our heritage that 19 as sailed, not theirs; and if our own good right arms, with all the advantage they have, cannot protect it, we may as well at ouce advertise our degeneracy to the world, and prepare to take our place as underlings. Emancipation as a military necessity! A MILITARY NECESSITY! If emancipation must come, for the honor of our fathers, for our own independence, for the prospects of our children, for the good name of free government, and for the dignity of the wbite race, let it take any shape but that.—New York World. arTbe Philadelphia Preva says it is right for printers to know that while, until a recent period, actors were legal- ly designated as vagabonds in England, a statute passed in the reign of Queen Anne, distinctly declares, that printers, like attorneys, ave gentlemen. When swords formed a part of genteel attire, they were worn by many who, neither by birth, education nor calling, were entitled tri be considered gentlmen. To place the matter out of dispute, an act of parliament was passed, in which were set forth the varlets -elasses authorized to wear swords or rapiers ae pari of their costume, and in'this statute print - ere are expressly named as entitled to what, !Atha petipd,`was' oonsidetted a privilege.

AND Clem:e.—It is, not generally known, we think, hew easy a matter it is to ex- amine the bottom of a well, cistern, or pond of water, by the use of a common mirror. When the sun is shining bright ly, hold a mirror so that the reflected rays of light will fall into the water. A bright spot will be seen at the bottom, so light us to show the smallest object very plainly. By this means we have examined the bottoms of wells fifty feet deep, when half full or more of water.— The smallest straw; or other small objects can be distinctly Been from the surface.— In the same way or.e can examine the bottom of ponds and rivers, if the water be somewhat clear, and not agitate :l by winds or rapid motion.' If a well or cis- tern be ander cover, or shaded by build iugs, so that the eun light will not fall near the opening, it is only necessary to employ two mirrors, using one to reflect the light to the opening, and the other to send it down perpendicularly to the bottom. Light may be thrown fifty or a hundred yards to the precise spot desired and then reflected downward. We hate usedthe mirrors with success to reflect the light around a field to a shaded spot, anti also to carry it from a south window through two rooms, and then into a cis- tern under the north side of the house.— Half a dozen reflections of light may be made, though each mirror diminishes the briliancy of the light. Let any one not familiar with this method, try, it, and he will find it not only useful, but a pleasing experiment. It will perhaps, reveal a mass of sediment at the bottom of a well which has been little thought of, but whish may have been a fruitful source of disease, by its decay in.the water. tir When Gen. Lee was a prisoner at Albany he dined with an -Irishman. Before entering upon the wine, the General remarked to his host, that af- ter drinking he was apt to abuse Irish men, for which be hoped the host would excuse him in ' advance.

A Boar TO BB TRUSTED.—We wide every one of ,our young readers felt the importance of winning the confidence of parents, teachers and friends by per: feet veracity and simplicity. The fol- lowing incident may be ,of service to them.,.We once visited a public school. At recess a little fellow came np and spoke to the teacher; as heturned to go down the platform, the master said: 'That is a boy I can trust. Ile never failed me.' We followed him with our eyes, and looked at him when he took his seat after recess. He had n fine, open, manly face. We thought a good deal about the toaster's remaik.— What a character had that boy earned. He lead,, already got what would be worth more to him than a fortune. It would be a passport into the best store in the city, and what is better, into the confidence and respect of the whole community. We wonder if the boys know how they aro rated by other peo- ple. Every boy in the neighborhood "I Dines Rrcrrr."—There arc tuulti• tudes of men who all their life long flit of earnest Christian duty, but alsvays is known, and opinions are formed of hal 1 before themselves this ready ebie�ld I moan right.'' Now, the proper evi- him; he has a character, either favora- ble deuce of meaning right, is doing right. or unfavorable. A boy of whom 'l here is uo other evidence that can just the master can say, 'I can trust him; he never failed me,' will never want em-ly be accepted.

He who is faithful in lit- tle will be faithful also in much. DELICACY —Above every other fea- ture which adores the female character, delicacy stands foremost withiu the province of good taste. Not that del- icacy which is perpetually in quest of something to be ashamed of, which makes a merit of a blush, and simpers at the false construction its own inge- nuity has put upon an innocent remark; this spurious kind of delicacy is fir re- moved from good taste as from good feeling and good sense; but that high miuded delicacy which maintains its pure and undeviating walk alikea►nong women as in the society of men; which shrinks from no necessary duty, and can speak, when required, with seriousness and kindness, at thiugs which it would be ashamed indeed to smile or binsh — This is the delicacy which forms so im• portant a part of good taste, that where it does net exist as a natural instinct, it is taught as the first principle of good manners, and considered as the nniver, sal passport to good society• ,CITAIGED TUEIR TuNE.—Zollicoffer's brigands went into the battle of Camp Wild Cat singing 'Dixie,' when they went out they were singing: " Fire in the mountains, run, ooys, run!" irgr' In the town of '1' there was a shoemaker who at times wrote the notices himself, in order to save the expense of printing.

This dreadful disease sometimes at- tacks horses, and probably, other an- imals, as mokeys and jackasses; and some birds as the parrot and mocking bird.

He asked if the editor was the crowd—loves the "uppermost seats in, told him we thought not} asked in the synagogues"—is given to impu- dence, impertinence, and unusually bad manners in company—is censorious and fond of finding and exfosing the foibles of his associates—has a few friends and no lovers, and has gene- rally a bad odor to polite and well- bred people—given to swelling and strutting, as it in one moment he fan- cied himself a toad, and the next a turkey cock. He is energetic and pas- sionately fond of high sounding titles, Ra 'Squire, Captain, Colonel, General, &c. The miserable patient is some- times so infatuated as to attempt to stride the ocean, or jump over very high mountains. These are only a few of the symptoms of this malady, but enough to identify it. TREATMENT.—When it is caused by emptiness of the cranium, it is only necessary to fill up the vacunm with good ideas, a solid education of com- mon sense. When induced by dimin- utiveness, or malformation of brain, the cure is slow and difficult. We have known some casae which defied every remedy and destroyed the patient. A cure must be attempted by exercis- ing and cultivating those faculties which are deficient, such as the judg- ment and the understanding, and de- pleting self-esteem, &c. The skulls of these patients are usually very thick and hard, so that it is hard pounding anything into them, but they are ex- ceedingly fond of soft soap—give them a pound or two every day, and it will soften the skull so that you can probes bly get a little gumption into it, or a modicum ratiocination, and they will soon be well. When this will not cure, soft soap will palliate.

I have known wives to walk through such an experience as this into a condi. tion of abject slavery—to waste their affections without return, until they have become poor, and spiritless and mean. I have known them to lose their tviil—to become the mere dependent mistress of their husbands --to be creep- ing cravens in dwellings where it sho'd be their privilege to move as radiant queens. I have known them thrown hack upon themselves, until they have become bitter milers against their hue- bands—uncomfortable companions— openly and shamelessly flouting their affections. I do nct know what to make of the perverseness which induces a man to repel the advances of a heart which worships him, and to become hand and tyrannical in tho degree by which that heart seeks to express its af- fection for him. Thera oro husbands who would take the declaration that they do not love their wives, as an in- sult, yet who hold the woman who loves them in fear and restraint thro' their whole life. I know wives who move about their houses with a trent:). ling regard to the moods and notions of their hnsbands—wives who have no more liberty than slaves, who never spend a cent of money without• feeling of guilt, and who never give an order about the house without the same doubt of their authority that they would have 'le!

The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman's heart. Why some graceful and most amiable women whom I know will persist in loving some men I also know, is more than I know. I will not call their love an exhibition of perverse nese, though it looks like it; hut that these with these rich, sweet hearts in their hands, grow sour and snappish, and surly aril tyrannical and exacting. is the most unaccountable thin; in the world. If a pig will not allow himself to bo driven, he will follow a man who offers him corn, and he will eat the corn, even though ho puts his feet in the trough; but these men—some of them of Christian professions—who take evs ery tenderness their wives bring them, and every expression of affection, and eveiy service, and every yearning sym- pathy, and trample them under foot without tasting them, and without a look of gratitude in their oyes. Hard, cold, thin -blooded, white -livered, con- temptible curmudgeons—they think their wives weak and foolish, and them- selves wise and dignified! I beg my readers to assi.et me in despising them. "Yes,�sir, I think I do," I do not feel adequate to the task of doe ing them justice. / Here, alone, in the heart of a savage '✓�LCf64//e,` 211 G 66`147/lieb C�luninviting ttilticrnes, the ro-.f of Sam- / r uel Bingham gave protection to his AT LA W. family, which consisted of his wife HASTING, : : MINNESOTA. and two children with his father and P.

'Three times had his wife been aroused by fearful visions, each coo be• ing like the other two, fall of fearful Clanger from Indians. Mrs Bingham, to use her own words, could not again "close an eye for fright," but lay trem- bling like an aspen loaf, while her husband, firmly believing that the re - repented dreams were a warning not to be disregarded, got up, struck a light. and proceeded to inspect his weapons, intending to go out for the purpose of ascertaining if perchance there might he any Indians lurking in the vicinity. Having dressed himself, replenished his bullet -pouch and powder -horn, and again examined his rifle, ho buckled around him his leather bolt; and then ascending the ladder that led up to the loft or upper room of the cabin, he en- deavored to rouse a hired man who slept hero. This he had partially sucs reeled in accomplishing, when the sharp crack ot a rifle without, was in- stantly followed by a wild shriek from his wife, who called up to him that she was shot. In a moment it flashed across his mind that he had neglected to ex'in- guisli the light below stairs, and the enemy had thus been enabled to take aim upon his victimjthr ssgh one of the chinks of the log wall. Inwardly cursing himself for his carlessness, Bingham exclaimed, in loud tones:— "Up, Ned, up and follow me!" and at a single bound he stood at the top of the ladder, down which he hurried, leaning the hired man to come after. Upon reaching the room below, his first movement was to put out the light. Ila Mien told his wife to creep under the bed, if possible, which would bo the safest place for the time being.

How HOOSIERS TRAVEL*—A cort'ee•- pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, giv- ing an account of the expedition to Are comae of which the 21st Indiana regi-, ment formed a part, relates the follow- ing anecdote of the way the Hcoaiera trave'.: We left Oak Hall in the eve-. ning and marched some six or eight miles before camping. The Zoo -zoos were in the lead, and hating marched in pretty quick time, they had an idea that they were "putting the 'Hoosiers' through"—an idea that seemed to tickle them amazingly. The nett day, how- ever, we were in the lead, and conclu- ded to give our red brethren a taste of Hoosier traveling. We marched fifteen miles in five hours, through sand shoe mouth deep, and stopped for dinner s short distance this side of Drummond - town. The Zooszoos were Ruling along the road for two miles back, and camel straggling in, crest -fallen and dirgnsted for half an hour after. On the after- noon's march their surgeon rode ap and begged Col. McMillan for God'e sake to halt, saying that his men could not possibly stand it. EXCUSES FOR USING Tonacco.—In ono of our neighboring towns the lads of a school acquired the habit of smoking, and resorted to the most in- genious methods to conceal the vice from the master. In this they were successful until one evening, when the master caught them at it, and stood be- fore them in awful dignity. 'How now?' shouted the master to the first lad, 'how dare you be smok- ing tobacco?' 'Sir,' said the boy, 'I am subject to head -aches, and a pipe takes off the pain.' 'And you? and yon? and youl' in- quired the pedagogue, questioning eve- ry boy in his turn. One had a 'raging tooth;' another 'cholic;' the third a 'cough;' in short they all had something. 'Now, sirrah,' bellowed the masters, the last boy, 'what disorder do yon smoke for?' Alas! all the excnses were exhausted; but the interrogated urchin, putting down his pipe, after a farewell whiff, and looking up in his master's face, said. in a whinning, hypocritical tone: 'Sir, I smokes for corns!'

Do Kr plucky little British middy re- cently slapped the august ears of his royal highness, Prince Alfred, who thereupon indignantly reported to the officer in command. Investigation showed that the indignity was the re- sult of princely impertiuence, and all the satisfaction which his highness got, therefore, was a piece of advice to the effect that he had better keep a civil tongue in his head. •a.a t#An odd sort of a genine, having stepped into a mill, was looking with apparent astonishment at the move- ments of the machinery when the mil- ler thought to quiz him, and asked hits if ho had heard the news.

The locomotive crashed *Tao die rear' car of the forward train, thus crowding together the rear car, and the baggage car, closing them to- gether like the slide of a telescope, with a fearful smash. The alarm was sounds- ded, but there was little tirue for es- cape. Several jumped from the train and wore uninjured. Among others in the car was Judge Barron, who was sitting near the front end with another gentlensan.

If any man in the country can take the Government ship throngh the breakers. be will do it. There is a dispoaition in some quarters to find fault with Mr. Chase. There are men who have a grudge against Lim because he has not given them all the offices they want, who endeavor to obtain their revellers, by attacking his financial policy through the newspapers.

It is understood that Mr. Chase, Mr. Fessenden, of the Senate Finance Committee, and Mr. Stevens ef the House 'Ways and Menne, are agreed on one point, namely, that there must be an imposition of direct taxes and excise duties such as the country never saw before. Mr. Stevens is more discouraged than any body else con- nected with the committee above nam- ed. Mr. Chase, though evidently a lit tle dispirited, is not in the least discour- aged. He will take the Government along handsomely yet. ereg-The Toronto Globe undertakes to soften the mistake made by Russell in his prediction that the surrender of Ma. son and Slidell would result in another civil war, by saying: It must be remembered, in excuse or jnstification of Mr. Russell, that he wrote at the time the whole country was in a fever of restatement with the ovations to Captain Wilkes—at the timo when such a man as Chief Jus- tice Bigelow publicly declared that, whether right or wrong, his act must be justified at the cannon'smouth if necessary. Mr. Russell may have judge ed that excitement by the light of the results which would followed such a popular upbeaving in bis own coun- try; he did not sufficiently allow for the relapse which is apt to follow fevers in America. Great excitement and Steadiness - of • ptirpoee are generally found in inverse ratio tss each other.

He ivaa six miles from the Potomac river. We took the infantry oat about two miles, and posted them as skirm- ishers irs a dense wood. The cavalry was left to engage the advance of the enemy. . An exchange of shots was conse- quent. Therner Ashley, of Gnerilla notoriety, came on and fell into ' the ambush. Oaptain Russell kat seven horses and kept eleven,of the enemy's, and re- turned with hie whole force across the Potomac, with a loss of only two men, who .were drowsed in crossing. • This is considered one of ,the mint brilliant mancenvres of the war. and authorized to be raised is 73.— This is 46 more than General Me. Clellan wants. This excess will cost the Government about 846,000,000 of needless expense. It is proposed that the number of regiments actually re- quired shall be efficient as possible, and the others offered the optien of dis- charge from the service or to bo trans- ferred to infantiy.

Bostsitelnaveller contains the following particulate; lelative toe de= pasture of thirobel corninissionets from. ort ' Warren t The departure of Mason and Slidell, from Fort Warren, was conducted as quietly as possible. The garrison, with the exception of the gnards on duty, wern-kepe •from, the side of ghe, fort 'Where the kitioners' quarters are,-. and there were but few persons npon the wharf when they embarked. The oth- er political prisoners, as they bade them good bye, congratulated them on thebr release. Mr. Mason' went off in good humor. :Indeed, he has recently been in good spirits, and has borne his im- prisonment with the air of a philoso- pher. • Mr. Slidell was somewhat sulky, and not at all pleased at going in sock an unostentatious manner, and .in such a vessel. He evidently expected that a steamer would come here especially for them. Part of his ill -nature .may be owing to his health, which has not been good for some weeks, keeping him pretty close to his room, although he has not called for medical aid. The tug Starlight with the four reb- els, reached Provincetown a little, be- fore five o'clock in the afternoon, and immediate'y proceeded to the English sloop of war Rinaldo, and transfered her passengers. Com. Hudson, who was in chaige of the arrangements, went with them on board the English war vessel, and remained on board about fifteen minutes, when he returned to the rug. At about six o'clock in the after- noon the Rinaldo got under way, and proceeded on her voyage. In about two hours afterwards a violent gale commenced, and blew all night at Provincetown with almost the violence of a hurricane, but as; the wind was off.; shore, probably the safety of the vessel I was not endangered. During the stay of the Rinaldo at Provincetown no com- m unwasication allowed with the shore, nor was any boat allowed to come along side.

The whole objects of the financial system of the Secretary are not fully understood in certain commercial cen- tres, and therefore we may be allowed to make the following explanations: The Administration carne into power on the 4th of March last, and found that traitors had robbed the Treasury, $5,00 and were in arms to overthrow the gov- 8,0 13 000 i ernment. The 'Treasury was empty, and 20.00 i large demands were pressing upon it. In this emergency the Secretary was called upon to devise ways and means to protect and sustain our national faith, honor, and reputation. The whole nation was aroused by the guns and fall of Sumter, men and arms were demanded, and the Secretary was called upon to improvise the money necessary to pay for them. A demand for several hundred millions of dollars within the period of six months, under Oue+quare six months such circumstances, and before any tlnsinese cards five linesor leas7,00 system of taxation could be legally Leaded percenyedadv rtisemtesswillb3 adopted, was more than has ever been charged 50 per cent above these rates.

Clearly, no one but the obtaining credit without paying in• broker or capitalists who would double ,erect the credit of the Government for his benefit the debt and interest of will be strenghened and the public the nation. This mode of raising creditor satisfied, without waiting for money would have been utter ruin to the slow process of negotiating bonds the character and credit of the nation, or collecting taxes. and, therefore, another method was re And now we approach another point and, of course they will object, t.s they want the money for their own use, and do not consult the safety of the public, the interest of stockholders, er the feelings of patriotism. It will be perceived, by the forego- ing remarks, as well as the pamphlet. entitled "Notes on the Secretary's Plan," by "'TRUTH," that it is no part of the system here explained, to place any dependence for money to meet Government obligations on the sale of bonds to banks. The object to be ob- tained by this system of banking, is to provide a plan that will create a demand for bonds, and thns fund, inthis way, FIS many demand notes as possible. It will consume several months, with all the energy that interest and patriotism can inspire, before we can get this system in good working or- der; but we all know that a large amount of private capital will go into these bonds in advance, if there is rea son to suppose that banks will be in- clined to purchase them in the market as a good investment for capital and circulation; and, therefore, if this sys- tem shall meet with an enthusiastic re- ception by the people, we shall imine diately feel a speculative demand for l F.

EICII0P. ti, NOTARY :PUBLIC A N D LAND AGENT, Secretary has asked for, to nationalize Dffice,Ramsey Street, oppostethe Post Office all our banks, (if they wish national HASTINGS, MINNESOTA. I characters,) and authorize the creation of new banks by the people in all parts of the Union. The banks should be authorized and invited to invest their capital, and secure their currency by a purchase of Government bonds. There can be no doubt that the old and new banks will greatly benefit their credit, by investing their capital in this way. and make larger dividends to .their stockholders. Ti is plan of investing bank capital is in accordance with the practice in many parts of Europe. All the lead- ing and prominent banks and bankers on the continent invest their capital in these kind of securities and all well in formal rnen know that the capital of the Bank of England is so invested. Under the laws of many of the States, Trust and Insurance Companies are re- quired to invest all their capital in stocks, and bonds, and mortgages, for the purpose of making their customers more secure; and, vet, banks are al- lowed to float all their capital and credit upon the uncertain and stormy sea of individual promises. This statement is made to show the inconsistency of sotne of our laws, and to call attention to the fact, that this practice of placing all their capital in indvidual promises, does not benefit • the stockholders. On the contrary, they are losers by it, for they get only a legal interest by discounting paper, and aro constantly liable to lose their capital by revulsions in trade; whore - as, if the capital of each bank was in• vested in the bonds of the Govern- ment, the interest would be regnlarly paid and no risk talon. The profits of a bank, like that of a trust or In- snrance company, ate obtained by the credit the institution enjoys. If great confidence is felt ih the safety and abil- ity of a bank, it will obtain deposits, and these, together with its bills, may be loaned to its customers; and thus, out of deposits and circulation, it will obtain a profit over and above the in- terest it will receive upon its invested capital. Thus the system that gives the greatest security to the pnbtic, produces tha largest profit to the stockholder. ;� � t; H. 0. 11Oi�'ERS,IC � SURGEON DENTT, HASTINGS, MINNESOTA.

But many banks are managed HASTINGS, MINNESOTA by borrowers, or debtors to the bank, in this system that no sound and sense ible statesman can overlook, and which must continent' the approval of the nation. This great feature is, the wide distribution and permanent location of the public debt. Napoleon III, gained great credit in our democratic country by his appeal from the capitalist of Europe to the people of Franco, when he asked for his lust great loan. The Secretary in his system of finance, is doing the same thing, and time will prove whether democratic Americans are as Foul and patriotic as the sub- ject; of an Emperor. The two coun- tries are so entirely different, that the plan adopted by Napoleon will not an ewer here. France is an agricultural country, with local centres of trade and manufactures There a national bond will remain in posession of a French- man during his life, and be left as a souvenicr to his son Thus, the debt of the nation, once placed, will remain in a family through several generations. In this country, we n11 trade, and as the rate of interest is invariably higher at the sources of our great rivers than at their mouths,—so all negotiable se- curities found in the North west, that will bring cash on the sea -board, are sure to float in that direction. To overcome this gravitation and put these bonds in a place where the ownership will remain in the purchaser, is ono of the objects of this system of trounce. By inducing banks to invest their capital in bonds, and placing those bonds in the currency bureau of the 'Trcasu-v—yon fasten them there. and the local stock holder of each bank becomes the permanent owner of gov- ornrnent bonds. To make this interest as universal as possible, the shares in rural district banks should be very smell, and every one should be invited and encouraged to subscribe. This invitation should be extended to the soldiers in our armies, and there is lit- tle doubt but they would agree to in• vest at least one month's pay in these local institutions, to popularize them If this system can be carried out gen erally, there will be no difficulty in collecting properly assessed excise tax - 05 to pay interest on the public debt. The banks formed under this law will become the collectors of taxes in their locality, and they can thus pay them- selves the interest duo upon the bonds owned by every such bank. The sys- tem can thus by made self-sustaining in all its parts, and must prove a great blessing to our country. If, however, this system is not gen- erally and patriotically adopted, and sustained by the people, then the debts of the government will surely drift down the great currents of trade to the sea•board cities, and thus it will bas come necessary to raise large sums of money in the West to pay interest in the East,—and then will come the severe and terrible trial of our form of govcrn►nent. It may be the occasion of raising the spirit that produced "whisky insurrections," and "antis rentism,"—and finally some dernegogne willsinduco a Congressional District to send a repudiator to Congress.— This system of finance will guard ns against the spirit of disloyalty to moral obligations, and as the necessity to create a large debt is upon us, now is the accepted time to make provisions to have it fairly, profitably, and perma• nently located. The object of this paper is to make plain what many did not understand from the pamphlet; and if any good shall arise, it will be a satisfactory vindication of the objects of TRUTH. Waasowaros CIM, Jan. 6, 1882. THE LEGION OF HONOR. 'Are you willing he should got' 'And why not t' answered the young wife enthusiastically. 'I shonlr despise myself, Adele, if I were not willing to give my hnsband to my country.— France needs all her sons in this ex- tremity. I thank God 1 have Henri to offer on her altar.' Her sister shrugged her shoulders.— 'You always were romantic, my dear,' she said. 'For my part, if bad a hand• some husband. a splendid estate in Nor- mandy, a hotel in Paris, diatnonds, cashmeres, equipages. servants, as you have, I should not be willing to tisk them so lightly. Suppose Henri is kill. ed. Yon will be a widow. and for a time et least, can enjoy none of these things.' 'Oh! Adele, how can you talk so?— Has not the good father Laeoire been telling tie ever since we were children, that the corse of modern life was its materialistic view of things) That to eat, drink and be merry, seemed to be the whole purpose of existence? That luxury had corroded national virtue?— That the days of heroism had passed ?— How often has my heart swelled against these imputations, for I will riot believe human nature has sunk so low! No, I have often told him the diviner parts of our race have not all died out. We are still capable, we women, of making sac- rifices for our country; and our hus- bands, brothers. fathers, sons, are still capable of dying for it. I could my- self, if the occasion called for it, bo, I hope, a second Joan of Are. I never loved Henri half so much as when he came borne the other day and told me that, in this crisis of France's fate, he had determined to offer his sword, and if necessary, his life. We can die but once. What more glorious than to die in a holy cause?' A rid the young wife looked sublime as she spoke it. Natalie hid been :nairied but a year or two. Her beauty, accomplishments and amiability bad won for her at eigh- teen the heart of the young Count de 'I'ankerville, the greatest snatch of the season. Passionately attached to each other, they spent the hours continuelly'derltng,' she would say kissing him together, they read, they rode, they did everything together. The life they lea was more like an idyl than like a life in modern society and in Paris. In the midst of this dream of bliss came the news of the retreat from Moscow. All Europe rose against Franco. The Em- peror, beaten back from Dresden to Liepsic, and from Liepsic to the Rhine, was making a lest desperate effort to re trieve the fortunes of the nation. It was in this extremity that the young Count stepped forward. His father had been a constitutional roya'ist in the hist days of Louis XVI. and the family had nev- er emigrated; it had never on the oth- er hand, attached itself to tho fortunes of Napoleon. So long as the Emperor pursued his carper of conquest, so long the'l'ankerists held aloof from him.— But now, when the question was not Napoleon, but the nation, the young Count felt that the time had come when his cnnstry demanded his services. In view of the dismemberment of France. what were lands, hous'e, life i;selt?— •Snvo the Nation!' was the cry that rose to every patriotic lip. Women brought their iewels, tnen brought their lives. Foremost among these were llenri and his wife. 'Well,' said Adele, who was one of those cold, selfish natures that could not understand how anybody could do anything noble or heroic, 'I think you and your husband ate mad. But go yon :t� s, '1 wiowsh you were mad in the same way. We are mad as Leonidas was mad, as Tell was mad, as Bruce was mad, and as every other hero was mad for liberty. It is not now a question of the Emperor. It is a question of the country. It is not whether Napoleon shall reign, but whether France shall bo dismembered. It is whether that flag of the nation, that glorions tri -col- or which wavoi at Marengo and Aus- terlitz shall be trailed in the dust, or shall br ing tears to the eyes of French- men in foreign lands, floating from the mastheads.' We will not dwell on tate parting of husband and wife. Natalie bore up he- roically. Not even LI ly Russell, when leaving her lord on the sad morning of his execution, controlled herself more nobly than d.d Natalie now. But when rho door had closed on Henri, when she heard the clatter of his horse's feet down the street, then she flung herself on her bed, and wept as if her heart were breaking. It was an eventfnl winter. • A. battle was fonght almost daily. Like a lion in the toils. Napoleon turned first on one and then another of his foes, and always unexpectedly. In the brighest days of his intellect he had never bean so terrible as now. Henri was fore- most in all these terrible battles. Once he saved the Emperor's life. The cross of the legion of honor soon decked his breast. He received the dscoretion from Napoleon's own hand, and on the very day he heard Natalie had present- ed him with a son. But the genius of the Emperor and the valor of his troops were of no avail. Treachery was at work at Paris while Napoleon was ab- sent iu Champagne. The capital was surronuded. Tue Emperor was forced to abdicate. Every orae knows what followed,— The Bourbons Game back, forgetting, nothing, as was said, and forgiving nothing - 'Ah, my bleeding country,' Henri would cry to his young wife. At an- other time it was 'Oh, for one hour of the old Emperor,' At last the nation could bear it no longer. Napoleon landed; the army rose in his favor; the king flee}; a consti- tution was proclaimed. Once more the young (fount buckled on bis sword. 'Again I say, go,' was his wife's he- roic parting.

The Philadelphia Ledger thinks, that if we should unfortunately be forced into it war with England, it will not take us long to fit out a naval force equal to her own, having already the men to mats them in our commer- cial marine. Donald Mciiay, an ex- perienced ship -builder of Boston, in a letter upon this subject, calls attention to the fact that in one year, we built 2,034 vessels and steamers, of all class ses, measuring together 583,450 tons. A large number of these vesse's were as large as the biggest of frigates hitherto constructed. Working at the sante rate, we would be able alone in our mereh.tnt yards to torn out, in one year, 533 ships of 1,000 tons each.— In our Navy Yards, where, the choicest materials are stocked for building a fleet of 100 ships, 60 more men-of-war ships might bo buit in one year, ma- king a total of 643 men-of-war ships of ell classes, varing in their armament front three to sixty guns More than a hundred of our greatest engineering Firms would complete all the machinery necessary to be put in these ships in less than a year. In a very few months we could largely increase our navy' if necessary, by arming our clip- per ships and traders. Mr. McKay says five hundred may be found capa- ble of being trassforrned into sailing ships and frigates carrying from twenty to fifty guns. Twenty or thirty of the largest clipper ships could be converted into powerful screw frigates, and among the barks and brigs, five hundred are capable of carrying from 8 to 20 guns. Oue Thousan 1 coasters can be m`ado men•of-ner schooners unequalled in speed, and may be armed with one pivot gun of the heaviest description in the middle, and two to four 32-pouud- ors at the ends. These vessels have a very large stability, and the scantling of their titnb rs, etc., is by twenty per cent heavier than that of the common men•of-war seh000ers. This fleet of about two thousand vessels of war can. (working with all the natural energy of our nation,) be turned out in less time than fonr to six months, and it would be euflicient to protect our coast and meet the first .toren. For present des, fence we are not so helpless upon, the ocean se we may seem. By the time Great Britain could man her ships we should be in a position to give some heavy blows as well as receive them. FIDDLING ANQ PRINTING.—S01110 mu- sic teacher once wrote that the "art of playing on the violin requires the nicest preception an l the moat sensibility of any art in the known world." Upon which an editor comments in the fol- lowing manner:—"The art of publish• ing a weekly newspaper and making it pay, and at the same time have it please ever; body, beats fiddling higher than a kite." £A word of kindness is seldom spoken in vain—it is a seed which even dropped by chance springs up a flower. tarIt is much better to reprove, than to be angry secretly. No. 4—Is an old maid. Says you are always making a fling at the single ladies of an uncertain age. Wonldn t pay you if she was rolling in wealth, and you hadn't enough to buy a crust of bread. Sent all the papers she had back a month ago, and says now site has sent them, she don't owe you any- thing. She says she is even with you, and intends to keep so until the day of jn Igment. No. 5 --Is a gatnbler. Says he got completely cleaned out last week at tite races. Couldn't accommodate his grand mother with a half dime if she was starving. Likes your paper tolerably; would like it better if you published more races, and would occasionally give an account of a cock fight. Hopes you won't think hard of him for not paying yon now but has a prospect of soon having some loose change, as he is after a rich young greenhorn who at: rived hero last week.

Swore he never owed you a cent, and told me I was a low rascal for trying to swindle him in such a bare faced manner. Ad- vised me to make tracks in little lees than no time, or he would get out a warrant against me as a common cheat, and have me sent to prison. Is by all odds the meanest man I have seen yet. Never will go near him again. No. 8—Is a policeman. Say. that although you profess to publish a ven- tral paper, it is not so. Thinks he has seen considerable squinting towards the side he is opposed to. The collector concludes with "accept my resignation, and strike me from the list of agents. I have been called a swindler, rascal, villain, bloodsucker.— These are some of the naines they think proper to bestow upon me. I tried fighting awhile. and thrashed some of your patrons like blazes, but occasion- ally got licked like thunder myself." SCOTCH AND IRisrt NATIONALiTY.— Irelanel was conquered. Irish national- ity was overpowered. Centuries of dis- aster, both to Ireland and England fol- lowed, and at this day England dares not trust Irishmen with rifles in their hands. Scotland defended her nation- ality, century after century, against England, and at last concluded with her a treaty of union, as one independ- ent nation concludes a treaty with an- other. Scotland took care to preserve the Scotch law, Scotch customs, Scotch Presbyterianism, all in fact which dis- tinguished the old Scotch nationality intact. This we English ought frankly to acknowledge. As no Scotcbman is worth the down on his thistle who does not regard the Union with England as the consummation and crown of Scottish history, so no Englishman is true to the generosity of his race if be does not aps prove of the old vindication of Scottish independence, and rejoice that the spirit was not broken of that fiery and un- conquerable little nation, who under the British standard, wherever it hu floated, from the plains of Belgium to the gates of Lucknow, have shown themselves the bravest of the brave.— Lawless Dial. Aer Iant&N STORY.—There is at. Eastern story, which has its version i r many languages, of a beautiful damsel. to whom a genius of surpassing won- der desired to give a talisman. H. enjoined her to take herself across e field of standing corn; she was to plucl, the tallest and Lite largest ear she could) find, but she was to gather it as she went forward, and never to pause it, her path, or to step backward to quest of her object. In 'proportion to the size and ripeness of the ear she gather- ed, so would bo its power as a tals man. She went out upon her quest, says the legend, and entered upon the. field. Many a tall stalk of surpassing excellence met her•glance, lint she still walked onward, expecting always to find some one more excellent still. At last she reached a portion of tbs fields where the crops were thinner and the ears more stunted. She regretted the tall and graceful stalks. she had left behind, but disdained to pick those which fell so far below what her ideas were of a perfect ear. But, alas! the stalks grew still more ragged and motel scanty as she trod onward; on the mar- gin of the field they were rank and mildewed, and when she had accom- plished her walk 'through the waving corn, sire emerged on the other side, without having gathered any ear what- ever. The genius rebuked her for her folly, but we are told tha the gave her an opportnuity of retreiering her error. We may apply this mystic little In- dian fable to tete realities of daily life. TBR FEET IN COLD WEATHER...4ra person can be well long whose feet are habitually cold; while securing for them drynessand warmth, is the cer- tain means of removing a variety of annoying ailments. The feet of some are kept more comfortable in winter, if cotton is worn, while wo}len suits others better. The wise course, therefore, is for each ono to observe for himself, and act ac- cordingly.. Scrap tions cleanliness is essential to the healthful warmth of the feet; hence all, especially those who walk a good deal out of doors during the day its cold weather, should make a point to dip both feet in cold water every morning, and let thein remain half an• cle deep, for half a minute at a tiute, then rub and wipe dry, dress and move about briskly to warns them up. To such as cannot well adopt this course from any cause, the next beat plan is to wash them is warm water every night just before going to bed, taking the precaution to dry them by the fire most thronghly before retiring; this, besides keeping the feot clean, pre- serves a natural softness to the skin, and has a tendency to prevent and cure corns. Dlunya troublesome throat affection, and many a troublesome head -ache will be cured if the feet are kept clean, warm, soft and dry. £ "Behold, my Flora, how glori• ons nature looks in her bloom! The trees are filled with blossoms, the wood is dressed in its green livery, and the plain is carpeted with grass and flow- ers." "Yea, Charley, I was thinking of the same thing.

A WORTHY MAN PROMOTED.—SCC retary Chase, who gives such general satisfaction in regard to his disposition of the National finances, is none the less popular in his;appointmcnts of subord- inates in the Treasury Departinent.— Arnong these is the appointment of J. F.

When those principles had but few fri snds, and when Know Nothigism threatened to overwhelm them, Mr. Mvtas threw himself in the breach, and through the columns of the INDEPENDENT, becanl; a champion of human freedom in its broadest sense. As an exponent oI these ideas, and as a ft ieud of hnntani• ty, Mr. Chase was put forward as his candidate—in the columns of the INDE- P1sNDENT—for the nomination of Pres- ident iu 1856, but failing to teenre the field fur his faveritc, he gave Mr. Fre- mont a cordial and energetic support.

THE WAR.—From present indica- tions we are led to the opinion, that at no time since the war broke out has the Federal army been in better condi- tion, and more hopeful than at the pres- ent. Victory after victory has inured to• the federal arms since Balls Bluff, and with the exception of on the Poto- mac the rebels are gradcally retiring retiring before the loyal forces. Our te'egtaphic reports will give an idea of the movements, both in Pamlico soup 1 and Kentucky, and throughout the en tiro line of operations. Tho complica- tions with England seems to have been elucidated, public finances are firm, and private industry fostered. Truly may it be said that this nation now has the largest army of modern times, while the acts of peace and the public credit, aro still in a prosperous condition. re -Two-thirds of the patriots of East Tennessee are Germans, as wo learn from very good authority, says the Indianapolis Free Presse. This is a fact to which as yet but little atten- tion has been paid by newspapers.— The chief seat of those German patri- ots is Wartburg, a colony commenced by German Protestants about fifteen years ago. A portion of those settlers come from the German settlement of Walhalla, in the mountainous section of South Carolina, led by a minister, who at this time is inspiring the Ger- mans of East 'Tennessee with patriot- ism by Itis own example. From Louis• iana, the immediate neighborhood of Wartburg received additional German settlers a few days ago. It may be safe- ly asserted that those Ge►rnans who have remained in Walhalla, in South Carolina, aro still cherishing a sincere love for the Union, although they are not allowed to express their opinions. The inhabitants of East Tennessee have wen for themselves a w.,rld wide reputation, by their firm patriotism, while the fact that Germans constitute so large a portion of those patriots has not been mentioned. SICPBUILDiNG AT NEW loRlt,—The New Vcrk Es:niug Post, in its review of the ship yards and machine shops of that city and district, says the den mind upon them has been unprece- dented through the year, and they are r.ow working at a rate which is equiv- alent to thirty six vessels every three months, or one hundred and thirty- two vessels for the year. The yards are, however, engaged principally upon vessels for foreign governments; while the most of the work that is being done for our navy is rho alteration of ships taken from the inercantile service. The Post says the yards can turn out vessels faster than the machine shops can furnish the engines, though the three leading establishments—the Nov. elty, Morgan and Allaire—are now able to supply twenty seven first class marine engines every six months.— There are other shops not far from the city of a capacity to add somewhat to this exhibit.

Halleck has also written a-!etter to the St. Louis Democrat reproving an officer for de- livering up a negro claimed as a fugi- tive slave. He states that such was not the intent of "Order No. 3." It was not designed to aid either negro catch- ers or stealers, but by excluding the persons, to exclude the question. It was not designed that the relation be- tween slaves and master should be de- termined by any military officer, but merely to keen out negroes avowing themselves fugitives, nor does the order prohibit acts of humanity to such per- sons, such as furnishing them with food and articles of clothing. e O'The London Critio stages that "up to the time of hie death, the Prince Consort raised hie voice energetically, against the haste with which England was rushing into a war with the Unit— ed States—an event which he denoun- ced as subversive of her interests, dan— gerous to the real sources of her power, and celtain (0 do ad'vantageoris Only to despotic Powers of Europe,", STATE OF MINNESOTA,/ COUNTY OF DAKOTA, SS.

Poor bird! why did it try to sing, So early in the cold, cold Spring? Why did it choose a perch so high, As if all nature to defy? Was it ambition bid it sing? Tho' it should feel death's fatal sting. 0, what a wreck, was made of song. When tho poor bird atten'd its "gong." Did you, one honest effort make, To save poor bird from such a fate? Did you once try, to warm its throat, To liquify the frozen note? if you, your duty did perform, Dry up your tears, and fear no harm, For soon warm Bunny days will come, And melt the ice -note in birdie', throat, and it will n.ake splendid music.

SUFFERING AND CANNIBALISM OF AN AMERICAN WHALER'S BOAT'S CREW. The St. John Daily News of De. cember Oth has an account of the suffer- ings of John F. Sullivan of Hadley Falls, Mase., and his oempanione, de- serters from the whaleships Daniel Webster and Ansel Gibbs, or New Bedford, in Cumberland Straits, on the 4th of August last. The narrative was written by Sullivan. The writer says that be had no reason for leaving the ship only that he was not suffic- iently provided against the cold north- ern climate, and was afraid of dyiug by scurvy. The crew of the Ansel Gibbe complained of bad treatment.— They were John Giles, boatateeror, John Martin, Hiram J. Davis, Willard Hawkins, Thomas Colwell, Joseph Fisher and Samuel Fisher, who, with Sullivan and his shipmate Warren Dutton, constituted the deserting party. They stole a boat from the Ansel Gibbs, into which they managed to place a very small quantity of provisions, two guns and a little ammunition, and stood across the Straits. They left the vessels in the latitnde 07 59, about five miles from Penny's harbor. On the fourth day out they fell in with the barque George Henry, Capt. Cuddinn- KEEP IN DE CURRENT.—The folio - and went back again to the other side of the island, to remain there until we should die or be picked up We ate our belts, boots, and sheathe, and a number of bear and seal skin articles we had with ne. To add to our miss ery, it commenced to rain, and kept up for three days; it then began to snow, In this miserable condition we were picked up by a boat's crew of Esqui- maux on the 29th of September, and brought to Okoke on the 3d of Octo- ber. The missionaries did all that lay in their power to help us along, and provided us with food and clothing, then sent us to Nein, where we met "the doctor," (Davis) who was picked up three days before wo were. He re- ported that his companion died, and told many false stories after he was picked up. The above thrilling narrative has the air of romance rather than reality, and some of tie circumstances appear very improbable, but as the Ansel Gibbs, which arrived at New Bedford on the 1lth of last November, reported the de- sertion of seven of her crew, with a whaleboat, in the Artie regions, at the date above given, the main facts of the story aro doubtless true. The mis• guided seamen suffered fearfully in consequence of their folly. in such institutions, must come from the community in which it is located.

There are many places in the or to remark, that the following ac- East, which maintain an active trade, count came from a loyal Southern man , and have become thriving commercial of undoubted veracity. "This order came into existence in 18o,g, following upon, and geese lag out of, the "ORDER OF THE LONE STAR"— a secret Society, having f:!r its object lie seizure and annexation of Cuba and Nicaragua—thus to spread the area of Slave Territory, and to perpetuate Southern predominance in the National Congress. The descent of Lopez on Cuba was the first step on the settled programme. That having failed, the descent of Walker in Nicaragua, was the next step. Its failure, and the death of General Quitman, the recognized leader of the fillibusters—though Mr Soule, Mr. Pierce's Minister to Spain, was understood to be the acting Presi- dent of the Order—brought the organ- ization into a weak conditon. Out of it sprang the "KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE," whose leader was a ci devanl Minister, Professor, Editor, Politician, named Geo. W. L. Bickly— a "smart" but unprincipled person,,well fitted by temperament and ambition for the di- rection of perfidious projects. The design of conquering M xico, and there to create a powerful Slave empire which should eventually absorb Nicaragua, was the ostensible feature of the organization; but, beneath that were other other designs as rank with treason and wickedness, as the brain of the unprincipled leader could conceive.

On the 20th of August, at Cape Chidleigh, they had nothing but mushrooms and berries to live upon; and hero Hawk- ins and Davis ran away from the party and carried away everything that was useful belonging to the boat. After an attempt to leave the place, which was prevented by stormy weather, they landed again, and Dutton died of starv- ation.

We stopped hero three days. We then made a start; but the wind being a head we were compelled to pet back. Here we stopped two more days. During that tithe the bones were broken up small and boiled in a pot or kettle that we had; also the skull was broken open, the brains taken out and cooked. We then got a fair wind, but as we got around a point we had the wind very fresh off the shore; we could hardly manage the boat; at last we drove on to an inland some ways ont to sea; we got the boat un- der the lee of it; but the same night wo had a large hole stove into her. Being unable to haul her up, we stayed here eight days; it was on this island they tried to murder me. The third day we stopped hero, I was out as usual picking berries, or anything I could find to eat. Com- ing in I chanced to pick up a mush- room. I brought it in with me, also au armful of wood to keep the fire burning. While kneeling down to cook the mushroom, I received a heavy blow of a club from Joseph Fisher, and before I could get on my feet I got three more blows. I then managed to get on feet, when Samuel Fisher got hold of my right arm; then Joseph Fisher struck me three more blows on the arm. I somehow got away from them, and, being half c:nzy, I did not know what to do.— They made for nee again; I kept beg- ging of them, for God's rake, to spare my life, but they would not listen to my cries. They said they wanted some moat, and wore bound to kill me. I had nothing I could defend myself with but a small knife; this I held in my hand until they approached me.— Samuel Fisher was the first to conte towards me; be had a large dirk knife in his hand; his cousin was corning from another direction with a club and a stone. Samuel came on and grasped me by the shoulder, and bad his knife raised to stab me. I then rained my knife and stabbed him in tl a throat; he immediately fell, and I then made a stop for Joe, but he dropped his club and went up to where the rest were. 1 then stooped down to see if Samuel was dead; he was still alive; I began to cry; after a little while the rest told mo to come tip—they would see there was nothing more done to me. I bad received four deep cuts in the head; one of the fellows dressed them for me, and washed the blood off my face.— Next day Samuel Fisher died; his cous- in was the first one to cut him up; his body was used up the same as my un- fortunate shipmate's. After a while, we managed to repair the boat and left the island. We ran in where we thought was the main land, but it proved to bo an island.— Here we lelt the:boat, and proceeded on foot, walking about One mile a day,— At last we reached the other side of the island in about four days; then rut back again to the boat. It took us four days to get back. When we got there, we found the boat stove very bad since we left her.

The little boya's attention was ar- rested. He liked his friend's face, and began to wonder who he was. 'Then the minister said, "I am going to a place where I think you would like to be—will you come with me?" "Where do you live?" "Why, 1 live at such and such a place," was the reply. "Why, that is the minister's house!" exclaimed the boy, as if he did not suppose that a kind man and the min ister of the Gospel could be the same person. "Why, I am the mini.,ter myself, and if you will come with ate, I think I can do yon some good." "My hands are dirty; I cannot go." "Here ie a pump—why not wash?" "I am so little that I can't wash and pump at the same time." "If you'll wash, 1'11 pump." He at once set to work, and pumped, and pumped and pumped; and as he pump- ed, the little boy washed his hands and his face till they were quite clean. "My hands are wringing wet, and I don't know how to dry them." The minister pulled out of his poc- ket a clean pocket handkerchief and offered it to the boy. "But it is clean." "Yes," was the reply; "but it was made to be dirtied." The little boy dried his hands and face with the handkerchief, and then ac- companied the minister to the door of the Sunday School. Twenty years after, the minister was walking in a street in one of the large cities in America, when a tall gentle- man tapped him on the shoulder, and looking into his face, said, "You don't remember me?" "No," said the minister, ''I don't." "Do you remember twenty years ago finding a little boy playing at marbles round a pump! Do you remember that boy's being too dirty to go to school, and yon pumping for him, and speaking kindly to him, and taking him to school?" "0!" said the minister, "I do re- member."

A terrific English language too strong to express While _this journal has inflexibly op- posed any tante rstittllional 'enactments by Congress, 1,4 the, shape of general confiscation or emancipation bills. it must be borne in mind that rebellion has dissolved all obligations on our part to restore the slaves of actual in- surgents. A majority of the Northern people have for years done their best to conquer their prejudices against the pew tidier, institution, by ' permitting the rendition of fugitives from labor; but when the secessionists chose to repay this repugnant service by waging a most atrocious war against their form- er brethren, it would bo childishness, if not madness, to retain, on our part the obligation which we previously ac- kuow:odged. Wo repeat our condemnation, how- ever, of arming the slaves on the plant, ations (if that were possible), and the fostering of insurrections on the part of the slaves. There is no term in the storm was encountered by the fleet on its passage southward from Fortress Monroe, during the prevalence of which four vessels, with valuable cargoes. were totally wrecked, and several oth- ers driven ashore. Three" lives were lost in an attempt to secure water for the troops on hoard, who it seems nar- rowly escaped great suffering on ac- count of the non -arrival of the vessels laden with water for their consumption. Everything, however, had brightened oar abhorrence of any;such scheme.— We war against enemies arrayed against us in open field—against men, not wo- men or children. God forbid that ev- er a resort should bo made to such a barbarous practice fur a single hour. Tho fervid protest of Lord Chatham against employing the Indians io the revolutionary war. was not more ur- gently called for than is condemuation for any scheme for exciting insurrec- tion among the slaves. War has hor- rors enough ae it is, without going back to brutalities such as would have bean spurned in the middle ages, and have up when the steamer left Hatteras, and I been blushed for among the ancient pe - entire confidence in the ultimate SUCH gans. We admit that the provocations ccss of the expedition was felt. I have been many and great; but for all that, we cannot afford to let ourselves sink to a level with barbarians, unless ptepnred to surrender with the Chris- tian name all those mellowing influences derived from the teachings of its Di- vine author. Let every good _citizen, every true soldier, set his face like flint against such a snggestion. But with the slaves of insuagents no snch scruples need be entertaiued. Looking closely at our obligations under the Constitution, we hold, that with respect to the rebels ev- ery one of th-rm has been annulled by the act of insurrection. We were un- der certain restrictions a year ago, whica do not exist to day. Tho sword of war has cut a knot which our hands could not untie. The rebel is an enemy and must he treated as such. if we confine ourselves to tho recognized methods for overcoming him, we must make the greater use of these instrumentalities.— To deprive him of the cervices of his slaves is but to dry up leis resources, and thus hasten the termination of the war. We should make no more hesi- tation about it than seizing his stores or breaking up his communications.— It is strictly politic, cjnsistent, hu- mane, and calcnlated to bring about a speedy extinction of tho war.—X. Y. Commercial and ,Advertiser. From secession headquarters at Rich- mond, we are inforrned that Beauregard has been succeed in command of the reb .1 forces on the Potomac, by Gene- ral Smith, and the former has been or- dered to Columbus, Iientncky, forth- with. The acknowledgement by the rebels ehemsolves of a loss at Z•illicoffer's do - feat, of five hundred men in killed and ewonntded, would indicate that their •punishmeut on that glorious battle fi •ld was severe. • It is to be hoped the rumor from Cai- eo, that the rebel desperado, Jeff. Thompson, has been captured by our forces, ,may be verified. THE POLICY OF (SEN. MCCLELLAN.-- ft is generally understood that Gene- ral McClellan's recent exposition, made to the Congressional committee to en- quire into the conduct of the war, of so much of his views and plans as he deemed prudent to trust to the public, was eminently satisfactory to those gen •llemen, who interrogated him for near sly throe hc:urs. It is said that he re- peatedly, in reply to questions, frankly pointed out to the committee their im- .policy, and on each occassion satisfied them that he tvas right in preferring to keep to himself the particular informa tion they were after. It is certain that. the result of their interview has been to bring the Committee, up to the work of laboring to induct Congress to aid Mc- Clellan in his measures and policy with .the frank confidence that must bo ac- -corded to him if that body would real- :ly do their duty to insure the quick suppression of the rebellion, that de- pends so entirely upon the harmonious •concert of action between all branches of,the Government service in laboring to work out common ends. More than one of the cotnmittee rrho went into the interview with minds warped came out of it with the fixed belief that the path of success in tho war, is to stand firmly by the commander•in-chief, and support his measures and plans. 'Corrmoa C.t.LTURE.—The Commission- er. of Patents has insured a 'circular in which ho says. The cultivation of cot- ton in the middle portions of the free States is beginning to attract attention. To prevent failures in its cultivation, it is proper to remark that it is a princi- ple in physiology that tropical plants can never be acclimated North, except by a .repeated reproduction of neve v,- rieties from seed. Tho attempt to grow sea island cotton, such a8 is now bru't from Hilton Bead, would prove a fail nre in any portion of the free States.— The onlyvarietycapable of successful cultivation in those sections now seek- ing its introduction, is the green seed cttton, such as is now being raised ex- tensively in Arkansas, Missouri, Ten- nessee semi portions of Kentucky, which produces the white fibro.

No reasonable doubt is entertained of the success of the culture in all mild portions of the middle Staves; and efforts aro now making by this division to procure the proper seed for distribution.

The rebels fought well, and were overcome only by the superior fighting on our side. Accor- ding to the rebel accounts their force consisted of 10 infantry regiments, three battiries and some cavalry—al- together about 10,000 men. They fought in bushwhacking style, from ra- vines, and behind trees, bushes and rocks. The brunt of the battle de- volved on the 4th Kentucky, 2nd Min- nesota, 9th Ohio, and the 10th Indiana. For nearly three hours the roar of musketry was kept up. Shortly after 11 o'clock Col, Hos kins succeeded in flanking the enemy on the extreme right, when the 9th Oltio and 2d Minnesota charged with he bayonet with triumphant yells, vhich broke the rebel ranks, and the out began. They fled pell-mell to heir camp, strewing the road with muskets, overcoats and knapsacks, and abandoned two guns and caissons.

The recent storms were unusually severe at Hatteras and considerably delayed and crippled the expedition, but when the Eastern State left everything looked favorable. They arrived at Hatteras betsveeen the 12ih and 17th inst.,' hay ing been greatly retarded by the severe storms and adversewiads l eb pre- vailed vailed during that time. Af:er the storm it was discovered that no vessel drawing over seven feet and three inches could pass into Parra - lice Soond. No vessel either could pass outside the bar drawing over thirteen feet of water unless very skill- fully piloted. Consequently the City of New York stuck 011 the ontside of the bar. She had a cargo valued at $200,000 worth of powder, rifles and bombs, and proved a total lose. Her crew was saved. The steamer Poca- hontas went ashore near the lighthouse and became a total wreck; ninety valu- able horses were on board of her ttnd all were drowned, including several valued at $500. The Grape Shot part- ed, swamped and went down at sea.— Her crew were saved. The steamer Louisiana struck on the bar where she now lies. Tho report of her burning is incorrect; she may yet get off. The Eastern Queen and the Voltiguer are also ashore. The latter will probably get off. The water vessels attached to the expedition had not reached their destination when the Eastern State left and had it not been for rho cons densers on board of some of the ves- sels an+i a vessel on ehoro the most teiri'.lo suffering must have occured among the troop. As it was the wat- er casks were cottiposed of old whisky, camphene and kerosene oil casks. Col. Allen, of the eth New Jersey regiment, and his surgeon, Weiler, with a boat's crew, and the 2nd mate of the Anno'I'hompson, when they found that the troops needed water, manned a boat in order to reach the General and obtain it. Tho boat swamped, and the Colonel, Surgeon and nate were drowued. The crew were saves. Gen. Burnside has succeded in get- ting over the bar one half of his yes, seta, including all the gunboats and 7,000 troops.. Gen. Burnside has been indefatigable; Lo ie confident of the ultimate success of the expedition, and has the rest ect of every man under his comnhan le The only troops that have been landed are the 24th Massachusetts regiment and the Rhode Island battery Col. Hawkins, regiment goo3 with the Burnside expedition. Thorn has been •tlodoss of life except these above mentioned. House Committee on Commcrco have befure them the subject of the Reciprocity Treaty between the United States and Canada, It is reported of Secretary Stanton that he says the army must earn its living. The eold•iers in the dismal in- active camps reply that all they desire is something to do. FREDRICK, ' MD. Jan. 24.—Officers from Hancock yesterday, report that the Potomac has risen nearly 25 feet within the past few days. Thera is no possibility of crossing at present. Gen. -Jackson is supposed to be still at Romney. Gen. Lander bas fallen baclt to the month of Patterson's Creek, near Cumberland. THE SPANISH INVADERS OF MEXICO DIS- APPOINTED. NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—Letters front Havana to day state that the allies are greatly dissatisfied with their prospects in Mexico, and complain that Miramon and others have deceived them. They expected aid from a strong party and they find the population its one man against them. They are convinced that their present forces aro inadequate to the task, etc. • ANT Letters from Havana corrobor- ate the statement that the Spanish in- vaders of Mexico are staving:a more ex- tensive contract on their hands than they anticipated, and are'represented as awaiting for reinforcements. ' (re -Letters BHonduras dura s ofdD e- cember 18th, state that unprecedented rains had fallen, • flooding, portions of the country; drowning 400 or 500 per- sons and reusing great destruction of property.

The Britigh residents of Mobile have organized into a company for home defence. The Confederate News, Columbus, of the 18th has the following: Col. Nealy's regiment and Kentucky's bat- tallion left yesterday for Mayfield Creek to search for Lincolnites. It also intimates that half a million dol- lars have been sent to that place for the payment of troops. A letter from Richmond of the 15th says John C. Jackson, Colonel of the oth Georgia regiment, has been ap- pointed Brigadier General, and is in command at Pensacola. Memphis papers say the Federal money is at twenty-five per cent. dis• count in New York. Not a word about Zollicoffer. Gov. Chub. Jackson was at New Orleans week before last. Jeff. Thompson tray again appeared on the Missouri border, and visited Commerce yesterday with a force of eight hundred men, completely eatk- ing the houses of Union citizens at that place, BALTIMORE, Jane 24.—The boat from Old Point has arrived but brings no news of importance. There had been no arrival from Burn side's expedition. The Norfolk Day Book of yesterday discredits the account of the �Bttrneide expedition being in Pamlico Sound and say's that a reconnoissance from Roanoke Island on Monday last brings no such report. This appears to be the latest advices they have. Since then a storm has cut off all communication with the coast. The Day Rook publishes the Federal account of the defeat of Gen. Zolli- coffer and says that it does not believe a word of it' and says it is a Nall street lie, got up to raise the spirit of the Yankees! after their defeat at Iron ton by Jeff. Thomson. The Richmond Diipatclt has the fol- lov;ing in regard to the federal accounts of the fight at Somerset: "We pub- lish a batch of the federal dispatches and do not believe there is a word of truth in then. The fact is, as the reader will perceive on reading the money article of the New Yolk Beve- ning Post, that stocks were going down at such a rapid rate, owing tc tate fail.. nre of the Burnside expedition, and the licking the federals recently got at the hands of Jeff.

The Charlotte, North Carol:nin, Democrat, of the 21st instant, says in anticipation of invasion of the North Carolina coast, it is contem plated to call out the militia of the sav• eral eastern counties. The call is not yet made, bat the Raleigh Journal says that it will embrace 33 counties.— Wo learn •that.the militia have becn ordered out since the arrival of Burn - side's •expedition at Hatteras, ,and it ap pears from • the Raleigh Register, of Saturday, that a draft has been made in Wake •county. The Raleigh Register says there is quite an excitement in that city in re- gard to a draft which has been made for one third of 'the enrolled militia. Substitutes are expected to be in de- mand. The Norfolk Day Book contains the following dispatches: SAVANNAH, Jan 22.—The Republi- can of this morning' 'learns from a gentleman from: Florida, that Cedar Keys was captured by the Federals on Thursday. . Cittc,tco, Jan. 28.—A special dis— patch from Cairo says rumors are rife that the expedition which loft Bird's Point on Saturday had a ,fight with Jeff. Thompson and that the guerrilla chieftain was now a prisoner. It was also repotted that three Tennessce reg• itnents had been intercepted on their march to Sy keston. A TAX ON TUG PAY OF ARMY OFFIC$BS. A proposition will soon be offered in the Senate to inipose a tax of 10 per cent upon the pay of officers from a Major General down to a private. The army prefers a tax to..a reduction :of pay, and.a large number have pe- titioned for it. From this aonrCe Gov- ernment will receive a revenue of about $25,000,004.

WiLL NEGROES WORK?—In the sec- ond volume of Mr. Olmsted's "Cotton Kingdom," we find ti quotation from the, Southern Cultivator, a standard. work in,all the economics of slave la- bor agriculture. It ie produced by Mr. Olmsted for: smother: purpose, lint we here t eproduce it, for the purpose of showing for what purposes negroes will sometimes work very hard: v'Most,pereorneallowelieir•hiegroes to enhivate a"stnttll erop of their own.— For remember of reasons the practice is a bad one. It is next to impossible to keep them from working the crop on the Sabbath. They labor at night when they should bo at rest. There is no sav ing more than to give them the same amount; for, like all other animals, the negro is only capable of doing a cer- tain amount of work without injury.— To this pont he may be worked at his N9.SH & EUDDLESTON.

Evening had closed darkly round the little brown farm house in the hol- low; gray November nightfall and the wild Niagara of crimson sunset fire had poured its flaming tides long since into the great unseen chalice of splen- dor that lies hidden somewhere beyond the western horizon line --the monu- mental urn where rest entombed alike, the days crowned with roses, and those baptised in tears. There was no sound without, save the branches of the huge sycamore tree chafing uneasily against the moss enameled roof and the plaining wind among the brown acrd scarlet drifts of leaves that carpeted every dingle of the woods. Within, the red bricks of the hearth had been swept until they shone as if carved in coral, and the many Lounges of flame danced and crackled among the gigan• tic logs like a band of elfin sprites. The cricket that harbored somewhere in the chimney corner had commenced his vespers, and Aunt Miriam Fenner's brisk knitting needles shone and glanced in the fire -light, as she sat there in an old fashioned cap border and spectacles, looking almost as pretty —so uncle Peter thought—as she used to look in the days when he came sparking, and was wont to contemplate the evolutions of her gleaming needles, while he considered what it was best to say next! Nobody would have susp•cted Pater of any such romantic meditation, as he sat there sorting out seed corn and pack- ages of the blue beano on his round ta- ble, and labeling them with portentous deliberation! So lit:le do we know what is passing in one another's mind 1 There was a third person, sitting in the red hearth glow, however; a young man of about twenty-four years of age, with dark brown hair and eyes to cor- resrond, who amused himself by tan- talizing Aunt Miria•n's kitten with the good old lady's ball of yarn—the animal, like all the rest of her sex, be- coming more and more anxious for the wooly sphere the higher it was held. 'So you've really made np your mind to get married, James—do stop teasing that kitten!' said the old lady, with a constrained voice. 'Yes, Auut Miriam; it isn't good for man to be alone, yon know.' There was silence again. James Arnett wound and unwound his yarn very ❑necessarily; Uncle Peter eyed his seed -peas thoughtfully, and Mrs. Fenner knit energetically on, with pnrsed up lips and a scarcely percepti- ble shrug of the shoulders. 'Aunt Miriam, I wish you could 800 Milicent,' said the young man at length. 'I can't say that I have any desire to see your city young ladies, Janice,' said Aunt Miriam, coldly; 'they're too fine spun for an old woman like mo. -- White hands and piano playin' may be very grand -1 dare say it is—but it don't suit my taste.' 'But, Aunty, I am sure you would like her. Come, now, do bo reasonable and go over to Squire Brownell's with me to night; she is spending a week at her grandfather's, and she would be so gratified to see you!' 'Thank you, I ain't curious on the subject,' responded Aunt Miriam, primly. 'Only I beered that Miss Brownell had a bad stroke of the rheu- matize, an' I don't see bow she gets along to wait on her now fangled grand - darter!' 'I can't understand why you are so prejudiced against poor Milicent, Aunt Mliiam,' said the young man, un- easily. 'I won't disguise from you that it makes nio very unhappy to think of marrying without the appro- val of one who has been a mother to me, and vet 'And yet you'r determined to go your own gait; that's the plain Eng. lish of it, James,' said Aunt Miriam. 'Well, I s'poee you can do without my consent; you'll never get it, anyhow!' And she poked the fire vigorously as the old clock began to striko. 'Seven o'clock!' ejaculated James, starting up, 'and I promised to be at the post -office by this time. There's to bo a meeting about the minister's Thanksgiving donation party, you know Uncle Peter! Bless me, I didn't imagine how late it was.' And, with a gay parting nod to his aunt, he disappeared. 'There he goes—as good a boy as ever Lived,' said Uncle Peter; 'but I guess afore the evenin' comes to an end, he'll contrive to get round to Squire Brownell's. Miriam, you may as well say yes to tho affair, at once; he's determined to marry the gal, rings and city fashion's and all. 'I wish we'd never sent him to col- lege in New York,' sighed Mrs. Fen- ner; 'then he would not have come across this city sweetheart.' 'Then he'd ha' come acmes some- body;else, so it's as broad as it is long,' remarked Uncle Peter, philosophically' 'Yee, but it might have been a smart stirring gal who knew how to keep house, not a useless one good for noth• in' but to hang gay clothes on; I tell you, Peter, I can't approve of it. ne how.' Uncle Peter whistled "Hark, from the tombs *doleful sound," and re'. turned ones more to the contemplation of his melon seeds and corn kernels. Nine o'clock; the lire covered with a mound of brown ashes; the cricket chirping drowsily, and Incle Peter snoring melodiously from an inner room, still Mre. Fanner sat there me- chanically plying her knitting needles vet unconscious that the kitten was frisking about, and hopelessly entang- ling her precious ball of homespun yarn—deaf and dumb and blind to ev- erything but her own thoughts. 'I wonder,' she began, and then stopped. 'After all' she mentally re-. sumed the next minute, 'there can't be any harm in it, if I just Blip on my hood and shawl and go through the orchard path across to Squire Brown - ell's. Not that I'd go in—not a bit of it; but I'd merely take a peep into the keepin'-room window as I went past. I would like to see what sort of a face it was that has bewitched James so completely; but he must never be any tho wiser for it!' She pondered a second or two longer, then rose hurriedly, extinguished the little candle that stood in a shining brass candlestick on the mantle, lie• tened a moment to the unbroken mo- notony of Uncle Peter's snores, and muffling a shawl round her head, with- drew the bolt of the kitchen door, and crept out into the starless gloom of the November night! It was but a short distance, ander the leafless branches of the gnarled old apple trees and into the turnpike road. Aunt Miriam felt a little conscience stricken as she lifted the wicket of Squire Brownell's gate, and stole noie- Iessly op the chrysanthemum bordered walk; she couldn't help wondeting what Elder Oliver would say if he were to become aware that she, the sa- gest old lady in the congregation, were prowling about here like a thief at night. 'It's all for James' snake,' said the venerable dame, under her breath, as she pushed aside the great sweetbrier that hung over the panes, and peeped slyly into the window. Mrs. Brownell sat in a big arm chair by the fire, her feet swathed in flannel; the squire was smoking his pipe over a three days old newspaper; and be- fore a pine table, at the other end of the room, stood a rosy checked girl of about seventeen, the sleeves of her crimson merino dress rolled up above a pair of exquisitely dimpled elbows, and her hands buried in a wooden tray of flour—engaged, in fact, in the op- eration which housekeepers call "set- ting a sponge.' So much at home did she seem in the culinary art, that Aunt Miriam said to herself, very decidedly, 'This can not be the city visitor; I wonder where she is?' when her doubts were all dispelled by Mre. Brownell's voice: 'Millicent, I wish you'd write ont the receipt for that cake you made ftr tea—I don't see where you learned to bo so handy about the bones!' 'Why, grandwamma!' said the young lady gaily, 'you seem to forget that my mother was educated under your eye. She does not believe that French and music are everything a girl needs to learn. Now do put those stockings down—I'll see that they are menddod by-and-by.' Aunt Miriam turned away from the window more bewildered than ever, but with a very satisfied feeling stirring ander the heap of prejudices that filled her kind, old heart. If this wore the much talked of Millicent, things might not be so very bad after all. And Milly worked away at her sponge, the merry smiles dimpling over her face, utterly unconscious of the audience of "one" who was now contemplating a retreat. But tine adventures of the night were not yet at a close. As Aunt Mi- riam grouped her way toward the path, lamenting the pitchy datkness of the night, and the cracking of the crisp leaves as her not very elastic foot shuf fled through them, every pulse in her frame came to a sudden pause of ter- ror, as a pair -of muscular arms were thrown round her, and a moustache came in contact with her cheek. Such a kiss—Aunt Miriam couldn't remem- ber its like since the days when Peter I''onner courted the beauty of the vil- lage. In vain she struggled to escape —whoever the individual might be. bo didn't do things by halves, and evident- ly had no disposition to relinquish his prize. 'My darling little Milly! How did you know I was corning to -night?' Then came another kiss, before Aunt Miriam could exclaim, in stifled ac. cents— 'James Arnett, are yon crazy? do let go of me, and behave like a sensible creature!' The arms unclasped with electric speed. 'Aunt Miriam! how on earth — 'Hush! don't speak above your breath! There now—if you're going to laugh like that, you'll raise the town?' 'I—I can't help it, Aunt Miriam.' gasped James, clinging to the gate posy and vainly trying to check the gusts of laughter that would come. 'What will Uncle Peter say? Who would have expected to find Mrs. Fen- ner, Vice President of the Dorcas So. piet?' 'Jaymes, hold your tongue, if you don't want me to box your ars. And if yon breathe a word of this to any living soul" well, I won't Aunty --neon my word; only the whole affair le so an- premely riiicnlout) 'Nonsense,' said Aunt Miriam, clip- ping through the gate. 'There you need'nt torn back with me, yon silly boy. Go in and see hfilly—I know that's what you prefer. An•! Jam- ie ' 'Well, Aunt Miriam.' 'I've changed my mind about that little Milly of yours. I don't believe yon can find a prettier wife, or a better, so settle matters as soon as you please, and we'll se whether your old Annt Miriam has forgotten how to make a wedding cake.' 'But are yon in earnest, Aunt?' 'Never more so in my life! 'What has altered your coviotions? surely I may ask that one gneetionl' 'That isn't at all to the purpose, young man. But remember, not a word of this ridiculous adventure' 'You know how to administer bribes, Aunt Miriam,' said the youth gaily, as he enfolded the old lady in his arms, and gave her yet a third kiss. Through the starless darkness she hurried—under the wind•tossed apple trees, and beneath the friendly shadow of her own porch, where Uncle Peter's snores yet resounded like muffled trnmpete. 'What makes yon up so late, wife?' demanded a drowsy voice from the in- ner apartment, as she glided around, replacing shawls and wrappers. 'I've been as fast asleep as a dormouse, I do believe—but I think I Leered the clink of the bolt.' It must have bean the kitten among the tin pans,' quoth Aunt Miriam—the nearest approach to a a fib she ever ins dulged in, before or after. And in subsequnt life, when the firm conviction eeized bur, that James Arnett had imparted her secret—in strict confidence of course—to his pretty wife, she consoled herself by saying. mentally: 'Well, I don't care if he has—for nay part, I shall always be glad of that peep into Squire Brownell's window.' Dn. FRANKLIN 0 DEATH.—We have lost a most dear and valuable relation. But it is the will of God and Nature that these mortal bodies be laid aside when the soul is to enter real life. This is rather an embryo state, or propa'a- tion for living. A man is not com- pletely born until be is dead. Why should we grieve when a now child is born to the immortals? Ws are spirits! That bodies should be lent us while they can afford ne pleasure, assist us in ac- quiring kn.,wledge, or doing good to our fellow creatures, is a kind and be nevolont act of God. When they be- come unfit for purposes and afford us pain instead of pleasure—instead of aid become an incumbrance, and answer none of the intentions for which they were given, it is equally kind and bo- nevolent that a way is provided by which we may get rid of them. Death is that way. Wo, ourselves, in some canes, prudently choose a par- tial death. A mangled, painful limb, which cannot be restored, we willin;ly cut off. Ho who plucks ont a tooth, parts with it freely, since pain goes with it; and he who gaits the whole body, parts at once with all the pains and diseases it was liable to or capable of making, Our friend and we were invited abroad on a party of pleasure, which is to last forever. His chair was ready first, and he bas gone before us; we could not conveniently start together. Why should you and I be grieved at this, since we are soon to follow, and know where to find him !—Dr. Frank. lin's Works. A STRANGE DREAM.—Old Squire W. is an honest, jovial soul, with few re- ligious scruples—fond of a hearty laugh or a good joke at any time. He relates the following on himself as an actual occurrence: 'One night, boys, I had a very strange dream. I thought 1 was about to got to heaven. A long ladder, like Jacob's, reached from the ground toward the 'good place,' and it was on this ladder that I went up.— When I reacbed the top, I found a space of seven or eight feet intervening between the batt round and the celestial gate. I could see within and catch glimpses of the fine things inside.— Peter stood at the entrance—he leaned over—reached out hie hand and told me to make a big jump. I did jump, boys, and got one of the d—dest falls you ever heard of—for I found myrelf sprawling on the floor, having jumped out of the bed, while I was trying to jump into heaven.' t. The following toast was recent- ly given by a Missouri Volunteer: JEFF. DAvIS:—May be be set afloat in an open boat, without compass or rudder; may that boat and contents be swallowed by a shark, and the shark swallowed by a whale, and the whale in the devil's belly, and the devil in hell, and tbe door locked, and the key lost, and farther, may he be chained in the southwest corner of hell, and a north- east wind blow ashes in his eyes to all eternity, G ----d d n him. ASome thoughts are produced as the lightning leaves the cloud, by a sudden flash. Others, on the contrary, are alotrly developed, as by a progress of growth, and ripen to maturity tbro' months and even years of watchful and patient attention. JOKES IN CAMP. A correspondent writing from Genes ral Nelson's division, in Kentucky, re- lates the following; • Our boys are furious for practical jokes, and are constantly on the look out for subjects. One was recently pro- cured in the person of a new teamster, who had the charge of six large, shag- gy mules. John was also the proprie- tor of two bottles of old Bourbon—a contraband in camp—which a wag dis- covered and resolved to possess. Be- ing aware that the driver's presence was an impediment to the theft, he bit up- on the fo:lowing plan to get rid of him: Approaching the driver who was busy currying hie moles, be accosted him with, '1 say, old fellow, what are you doing there? 'Can't you see!' replied Jahn gruffly. 'Certainly,' responded wag, 'but that is not your business. It is after tatoo, and there is a fellow hired here by the General who carries all the mules and horses bronght in after tattoo' The mule -driver bit at once. and wanted to know where the 'hair -dress- er' kept himself. Whereupon he was directed to General Nelson's tent, with the assurance that there was where the fellow 'hung out' 'You can't mistake the man,' said the wag; 'he is a large fellow and puts on a thundering sight of airs for a man in bis business. Ho will probably re- fuse to do it, and tell yon to go to the devil, but don't mind that; Ise has been drinking to -day. Make him come out, sure.' Jol n poet] off, and entering the tent where our Napoleon of the Fourth Di• vision sat in deep reverie, probably con- sidering the most expeditious method of expelling the rebel Buckner from his native State, slapped him on the back with force sufficient to annihilate a man of ordinary size. Springing to his feet, the General accosted his uninvited guest with, 'Well, sir, who are you, and what the devil do you want?' 'Old hose, I've got a job for yon now— six mules to be curried, and right off, too,' said the captain of males, nothing daunted at the flashing eye of tbe General, 'Do yon know whom you are addres- sing, sir?' asked the indignant com- mander. 'Yes,' said John, elevating his voice to a pitch, which rendered the words andible a square off, 'you are the fellow hired by Uncle Sam to clean mules, and I won't have any foolishness. Clean them mules and I'll give yon a drink of busthead.' 'You infernal villain!' exclaimed the Goners' now perfectly furious, 'I am General Nelson, commander of tbie di- vision!' John placed the thumb of his right hand agstnst his nose, and extending his fingers, waved them slowly in a manner supposed by some to be indic- ative of great wisdom. The General's sword leaped from its scabbard, and Joan from his tent just in time to save his head. Our boys drank the"big mule -driv- er's' health in Bourbon. The story soon got out and is now the joke of the sea- son. IT's No USE.—lte no use, young man, to put on so many airs! Just as well act naturally. If you have no sense of honor, if you break tbe Sabbath, rid• icule virtue and religion, you are no gentleman, and there is no use in pre- tending that you are one. It matters not bow rich may be your conversation; the true metal is not there, and there is no use of counterfeiting. It's no use, young lady, to mince and simper, and act as if you were better Clan any ono else. Yon may never en ter the kitchen, and may sneer all yon please at those of your sisterhood who labor for their bread, but you aro no la- dy—nothing but a silly ignoramus—so there's no use of feeling so big. What's the nee of strutting so pom- pously and using all the large words Webster's dictionary affords, to make people think yon are educated? Did you never notice that the most talented of men are those who use the simplest langnage—and did it never occur to you that you show yourself a simpleton ev- ery time you 'peak! Its no use to make a great spread, and try to keep np an appearance of wealth when you are not worth a cent in the world. Why not live within your means, and instead of trying to ape those who are rich, wait till you have something of your own. People will think as much again of you, and what if they don't?—do have the cour- age to act as you please, and depend upon it you will alw;sys be found out. Yon cannot make a whistle out of a pig's tail. Finally, it is of no use for any of ns to try to "shine in borrowed feathers." It's a great deal better to always act naturally; then we shill never be tronb led lest people find out we ars not what we seem. 4'If the man who has got to the top of the hill by honesty, is ashamed to turn about and look at the lowly road be travelled, be deserve to be taken by the neck and burled down again.

A GROAN FRO11 TENNEISSER. I Eaaotte or rrte PaEss.—Dr. Ehler We take the following dismal view I tells a good story sometimes, erten. dirt•► of the rebel situation trom the Memphis net, which indicates that when a writer Argus of January 5th: We have yet to learn that this Con- federacy is the private property of Jef- ferson Davis, or the joint domain of hie Cabinet, and we find it still harder to comprehend how either the Presi- dent or his Cabinet came to be consid- ered the autocrat dispensers of weal and woe to this people, untrammelled by any responsibility to the same. We, for one, were and are, far from considering that in voting for the aecee sion of Tennessee from the despotism of Lincoln, we were merely making a choice between if irresponsible Sul- tans, propped by duplicate divans. We never meant in abandoning the Union to abandon with it the rights of speech and of the press, and as long as we can wag a tongue or wield a pen, we shall do both in tho assertion of truth, how- ever palatable or unpalatable to Presi- dents, Cabinets, minorities or majori- ties. Our assertion, last Tuesday, of the true state of onr affairs, has centred quite a flutter among a few home soldiers, ir- responsible and illegal wielders of au- thority, &c, men who holding their po- sitions from tbe higher servitors of the people, think it sacrilege, and 'weaken- ing of the cense,' to fault any of their acts or no acts; and who unable to do• ny our statements, would cover the Bins of their snperiora by asserting that a results arising frons said eine is en- couragement and comfort to the enemy We seldom anathematize, but in such connection we eau scarce help saying— something of the enemy.

EARLY INFLUENCES.—Tliere can be no greater blessing than to be born in the Tight and air of a cheerful, loving home It not only insures a happy childhood --- if there be health and a goal constitu- tion—but it also makes sure a virtuone and happy tnanhood, and a fresh, young heart in old ege.

EDITOR: I havo been prevent- ed by indisposition, from preparing my communication, and I hope your reads ors will pardon me for the delay. Two weeks ago I gave you a short history of the origin and design of the above Order, and the vocal gauntlet of the initiatory members, I now pro- ceed to give a continuation of my for- mer statement. The candidate is again compelled to take an oath equally as rigid, as the one referred to in thocom- mencement. He swears to Ruppert a scheme of Government, which has no resemblance to an American idea. The substance of the oath is as follows: The successor of George Bickly must be over thirty years of age, of Southern birth, liberally educated, "Knight of the Columbian," sound of body and mind, married, and a Protestant. Ifo shall swear to carry out this policy, and to extend Slavery over the whale of Cen- tral America, if in his power. He shall try to acquire Cuba and control the Gulf of Mexico. No one else will 1 sustain. But for such a one, who must be proposed by the Cabinet min- isters and elected by all 'Knights of the Star,' or a majority of then?, I will sus- tain here, there, or elsewhere. When the 'Knights ,erose the Rio Grande I will do all I .Cas to send in recruits for the array, and if 1 should ever cease to be an active worker for the Star, 1 will keep secret all I ktiow'of the real char actor of the organization, and I prom- ise never to coufer this degree in any other way than in the way I have re- ceived it, and I will forward to George Bickley, or to the Governor—General of this Stats, the name and fees of eve- ry candidate I shall iniate as Governor,' witness whereof, I do voluntarily. here, and in the presence of Almighty God, and these witnesses, sign esy name and address." This apparently novel scheme, to the Southern mind, was considered feasible and sure of consnmaticn. Imnens, numbers of men in the Slave States are without possessions of any kind, arro gant in temper, disinclined to manual labor, selfish from association with their "peculiar institutions," they aro unfit- ted for the position of poor In n. Their ono leading. never forgotten desire, is to become the proprietors of estates, the owners of slaves. Any scheme which did not promise these would not for a day survive in the Slave States.— Hence, all fillibuster leaders gave the promise to their men of land and slaves. Like the horde of adventures who fol- lowed Pizarro and Cortez—the un - propertied whites of the Slave States were eager for any enterprise which gave promise of dominion over soil and men. This organization grew iuto large proportions in Kentucky, Arkansas, and Louisiana, during the years of 1859 and 18G0. When it became evident that a great political crisis was at hand, its leaders made the conquest of Mexi- co the ultimate object of the Order, and the dissolution of the Union its imme- diate object. Its lodges became the headquarters for the conspirators against the Constitution, while their last mani- festation was to enter the field as an or ganized military body, thoroughly egnipcd and already disciplined for the field, and the effects of this fiendish and malignaut clan have been developed to some extent. Kentucky, in particular, was made to feel the weight of their in- fluence, though they had, eventually, to retire before the loyal spirit of the largo mass of the property holders and intei, ligont residents of the State. Ono feature of this peculiar organi- zation, as wo have said, was to control elections in favor of Southern men, and each nlamber sworn, under penalty of death, to obtain this object in any acces- sible manner. Conscience had nothing to do with the question, their pinnacle of glory must be attained, either by fraud, or otherwise. Before the delegatesevero elected to the State Convention in Vir ginia, Officers of the subordinate Or- ders in Kentucky,Mississippi and Loui- siana, were sent to electioneer for their Brethren in Virginilt, and at the same time contributieng in money Were sent, to be-teken'to Richmond to bribe, the delegates to vote for secession. And PAT NT E R S dC P A PER-IEA.N ti E etg ! this roan not all, the money stolen ftom Shop on Vermillion street, the United States Treasury went into HASTINGS, MI N N E S, t T A- the pockets of those traitorous dole - gates. I shall never forget the impres- sion made upon my mind by the ,loyal and talented G. W. Somers, as he re- lated to mo with tears in his eyes, the secret workings of the traitors, when at the Virginia Convention. Along with the "Minute Men" and "Vigilance Association" which are not a jot behind the old Inquisition of Spain, the 'Knights' must retire to obscurity when the constituted authorities are ab'e to punish all offenders; but, until such time, the lawless and irresponsible horde, who aro ever ready for excite- ment, must, to a greater or less extent, afflict Southern society with their dread- ful visitations. MoDIus. 1812 AND 1861. The magnitude of the scale upon which the war now raging in this country is conducted is appalling, if we compare with those that havo pre- ceeded it. The War of the Revolu- tion, was relatively a mere succession of skirmishes. The War of 1812, measured both as regards numbers and the field of opperation, shrinks into contemptible insignificance besides the the gigantic opperations that are going on at the present hour. If we look back at the history, more especially of the last war with England, and com- pare its leading incidents with those of the conflict now raging, we shall find that it hardly rises to the dignity of modern reconnoissance. The "battles" dwindle down into the veriest martial emeules; the causaltios aro few and the number of prisoners taken in victorious engagements counted rather by hun- dreds than thousands. We cite a few incidents from the War of 1812, to show what petty af- fairs relatively were some of the most 1 rlliant victories achieved by our arms. The first "battle" of any importance was that of Brownstown, near Detroit fought August 9th, 1812. Our force was only G00. that of the British and Indians combined, 750. Our loss was 18 killcd and G3 wounded; that of the enemy 160. Gen. Bull's "army," which dis- gracefully surrendered at Detroit six days latter, only numbered twenty-five hundred men; while that of the enemy consisted of only 700 English and 600 Indians. No wonder Gen. Brock, who commando i the latter, wrote to Sir Goo. Provost, "When I detail my good fortune. your Excellency will be surprised." At tho battle of Queenstown, two columns of 300 men each did about all the fighting on our side. Gen. Van Ressela;r, in his report, says, "One third part of the men idle might havo saved all." As it was, some looked on, while "many fled into the woods," leaving thcr brethren to their fate. At the siese of Fort Erie, the Eng- lish threw 2,000 red hot a'rot without injuring a man. Our loss was only 4 killed and 7 wounded. Brig. Gen. Smith abandoned his favorite project of invading Canada West because, although he had been preparing the greater part of the summer, and had energetically drum- med up volunteers, he had succeeded in collecting only 1,500 men; and he did not think the expedition would be successful unless he bad 1,500 more. At the battle of York, our force was 1,700, that of the euomy 700 English and 100 Indians. Our loss wass 306 in killed and wounded; that of the enemy, 100 killed, 300 wounded and 200 prisoners. This was one of the most brilliant of our victories, yet it is not to be compared with the Bat- tle of Belmont or that of Ball's Bluff Dither as regards the number engaged or the losses estimated. At the battle of Sackett's Harbor, the enemy's force was 1,000; ours 500. Itis loss in killed and wounded was 150, ours 154. Among tho troph- ies taken by our troops were the Brit- ish standard and mace. Over the lat- ter hung a human scalp. Com. Perry's victory on Lake Erie was esteemed a big thing in . its day; yet his whole fleet consisted of ouly 54 guns and two swivels! Our loss in killed and wounded was 132; that of the enemy has never been definitely known. At the battle of Chippewa onr loos was 528; that of the enemy 514. At the battle of Fort Erie onr loss was 84; that of the enemy 582. At the battle of Baltimore the ene- my's forces numbered from 7,000 to 8,000; ours was probably less than half that number. Oar loss was about 170; and that of the enemy some 700 in kilted, wounded and missing. Even the Battle of New Orleans looks insignificant to eyes that have witnessed a reconnoisance on the Po- tomac, 16,000 strong, and a review of 70,000 troops. The British force, in- cluding sailors and marines, was about 14,000; that of Jackson, 3,200' on the left bank,of the river, and about 800 distributed in positions bard by. Q❑r loss was 7 killed and 6 wounded; that of the enemy 700 killed and 1,400 wounded: It is safe to say that notwithstanding the torpor of a large share of our army and the taunts that wa have thus far been playing at war, a greater number of livers havo been lost,within the past dive menthe than during the entire 'War of 1812."' • GETTING IN AT NIGHT. ''The door was locked when I got home," said Tom, "and to get in without waking up the Governor was the difficulty. I knew be wonld give me particular fits if he knew I was out after ten, and the clock had just struck one. The back yard was an impossi- bility, and but one chance remained. -- There was a porch over the front door —which was but a few feet below the windows. One of them, I know was fastened down, and the other opened from a bedroom; which might or might not be occupied." An old maiden.sis• ter of Tom's had arrived the same day, and it was very probable that she was io the room; "but I knew that the bed was in the corner furthest from the window, and hoped I should .got in without awaking her, and then 1 had a comparatively easy thing of it. So getting a plank from a neighboring board pile, I rested it against the eve of the shed—pulled off my suoes, put them in my pocket, and then "cooned up." All right so far, but I thought it necessary, in order not to arouse any suspicion in the morning, to remove the plank; so dragging it up, I threw off the end, and down it went, with an awful clatter, on a stray dog, who had followed me for two or throe squares, who immediately set up the most aw- ful howl a whipped hound ever gave tongue to. That startled half a dozen other dogs in the neighborhood to barking. A mocking bird commenced singing as if intending to split his throat at it, and an old woman in her night clothes, with a candle in her hand, appeared at the window across the street. I knew Iwas safe as far as she was concerned; but if any one came to our window, the candle gave light enough to, very probably, discover me. Nobody did come, however; and the old lady, after peeping up and down the street for a minute or two, poppe 1 her head in and retired. The'mocking bird kept up his eternal whistle, and it was full half au hour before it and the dog settled down, and gave me a chance to move. Creeping along the wall, till I reached the window, I put my hand on the sill, sprang up and with my head and shoulders within, and my legs hangs ing out, stopped to listen. Yes, she was in that room, for I could hear her breathing. ' After waiting a minute, I cautiously drew up one leg. and then the other, slewed them around, and putting them down on the floor, was just conscious that I had stepped on something soft and yielding, and was about witbwraw ing them, when another yell broke out at my feet, the old maid jumped up from her bed, crying "murder, mur- der," and the mocking bird started again. I saw through it all; I had put my foot in it more ways than one. A little darky was lying ou her back, under the window, and I stepped on her face, and of course woke her up.— I decided in a flash, what to do. The house world be roused, and I was caught to a certainty, unless I couid get to my room before the Governor was up. But I hadn't a moment to loss, for the little nigger was yelling and the woman screaming, so I started for the door, made throe steps and struck a chair, (tumbled over of course) made the awfullest racket you ever heard of in the "dead of night," in a peaceable house; tho nigger and the old maid screaming louder than ever; the mocking bird whistling like a steam engine, and the (legs fairly made chorus as loud as Julien's. I reached the door, however, swiftly and quietly opened it, and just got ot:t in time to sen the old gentleman open his door, with a candle in his hand, rind come harrying up the stairs. Nut a momeut was to be lost. There was a wardrobe near where I stood, and I serang behind it. Up came the Gov ernor, reached the door, opened it, went in, and in the meantime there wer6 all sorts of confusion and inquiry down stairs as to what was the matter. No body else came up, though, and from whore I stood I heard every word of inquiry and exclamation in the room. Of course they couldn't make much out of it. The little darkcy was too frightened, and too sound asleep at the time to understand the truth, and the upshot of the business was that they concluded she bad been dreaming; and the Governor, efter giving her a good spanking, and explaining the matter from the window to the aroused neigh hors, went down in his room again. So far, so good. I now had to go down stairs, roach the back door, un- bar it, get into the yard, make for my room, which was in the second story of the back building, and stood un- connected with, and after giving every- body over half en hour to settle down, again 1 started. Boys, did you ever try to go np or down stairs at mid- night, without making a noise? You may try all sorts of votes, but every stair is sure to crack, each with a pe culiar noise of its own, and loud enough, yopr are certaio, to wake ,up every body. C land gotten near the bot- tom when a little dog came trotting along the entry towards me,, barking furiously. A enpppressod .

I was too quick for him, though, opened the door, sprang out, made for the door which opened into the room below mine, and= reached it. when crash! within a foot of my head went a brick. and another cbice, which I knew belonged to my next door neigh- bor, Tompkins, joined the Governor in the cry of "thieves! murder!' wan safe, though. Rushing up stairs I shelled myself quicker than 1 ever did before or since, and was in bed and asleep in a half a minn'e. "Tom," cried the old man, in a voice that would have raised a man from a fit. I judged it prudent to awake, and jumping from my bed, raised the win- dow and rubbing one eye and looking particularly frightened, (which 1 was) asked: "Why, father, what's the matter?" "There's thieves about the house. Get your gun and come down, quick!" "Ice's in the room below you, Torn!" hallooed Tompkins. "1 saw him as he ran down, and I threw a fire brick at him." I was directed to "look ont for my- self." The Governor stood sentinel at tho door below, armed with a club, while Topkins bad five minutes to cols lects aid from the neighbors; and in less than half that time sir general was the alarm, thAt there Was a dozen men in the yard armed with guns, pistols and stakes. The Governor opened the attack; opening the door, he called, "Como out here, yon house -breaking acoein- drel! If yon attempt to ren or resist, I'll blow your brains out!" Nobody came, however. "Watch the door while I go in," and I was told to look sharp, and shoot the rascal if he came np s airs." A momentary search was sufficient to satisfy everybody that the thief was not in the rooni. "Ho's up stairs, then," cried Tomp- kins; for I'll take my bible oath that he didn't pees the door," So tip stair's they trooped; but I had lit a candle by that time, and there was no bugbear diene; the strictest search, even in looking under a boot- jack, did'nt show the faintest trace of him. Tho yard was then examined, then the honse, and every body being well satisfied that he had escaped, the neighbors dispersed to their several homes, but I was appointed a sentinel for the rest of tho night, and ordered net to go asleep on my post under the penalty of a flogging. The articles missing on a thorough examination next day, were two pies and the old lady's silver thimble. The thimble turned up in a week or " two, being under the corner of the carpet but the pies have never been accounted for to this day. On oath, I could give very material evidence ae to the dispo- sition of the stolen property, but as the case did not come before any court I remained quiet. Didn't the local editors loom, though! One of tbem.elongated through a gnu - ter of a column, and headed tho item a "Diabolical Attempt at Burglary and Murder!" describing the graphic particulars, the fiendish attempt to throttle Miss and her servant; com- plimented the coolness and resolution of R. Tompkins, Esq., and peroratod with a withering anathema on the want of vigilance displayed by the po- lice." It was fun for me to see with what wide awake sagacity the watch U8 d to stop at the front door, and listen during the night rounds, for a niontli after; and you couldn't havo bribed a young- ster to go under the porch, on any ac— count after dark. The excitement died away though after awhile, but I'll never forget the night I tried to get in without "making a noise." LITTLE LIVE SERMON, DY A LADY.— To the hearts of nil us women, love is a necessity; and a man who under. stands that, has a power in his hands. Many have neglected it, and many have grossly misused it. Whore and how your husbands have failed, it is not for me to decide; one thing only I will say to you. My late husband told me one day of a king of Spain, on whose foot a burning cinder feel ont of the firs. Ile would have thrown it oft, but it occurred to him that it was not (seemly for a king to do an; he there- fore callei his minister. The minister said that it was not his business, and gave the command to one of the pa- ges; the page was of noble birth, and therefore called a chamberlain; but be- fore he could come the ciuder, bad burnt the shoe through to the foot.— Dear lady;. when a grief, iike a redhot cinder, falls upon your heart, do not stop, thinking whose proper duty it is to remove it, otherwise your heart may be bnrnt throngh and thronth.— Sieze it boldly, with our Lord's help. and throw it away, even though fin ger and thumb should be a little burnt; that hurt will soon heal t'Lebor is of noble birth; but pray- er is the daughter of Heaven. Labor hos s place near the throne, but prayer touches the ;golden'' sceptre. Labor, Martha Bike, is buoy" with much serving, lint prayer sits with Mary at the feet of Jesus. w VERSITALITY OF PanNTEA6.—The Bel- fast (Ireland) Mercury gives the fol- ing in relation, to, printers: From high to low they are the same reckless, light-.11oarted, clever, well-in- formed fellows --knowing how to act better than they do—nothing at times —everything if the occasion requires, or the fit takes them. No sooner are they comfortable in one town than they make travel for another, even thongh they travel on hair space means. And to what will they not torn their hand? "We have seen," says an American ed- itor. "one and the same individual of the craft, a minister in California, a lawyer in Missouri, sheriff in Ohio, a boatmen on the western canal, sailing a privateer, an auctioneer in New York and pressman in a great printing office' Nor are these characteristics confined to any country—they are everywhere the same. We have met them AS lecturers, actors, traveling preachers, ventrilo- quists --in fact everything. We have met on a tramp in this country mem- bers of this wild, roving profession, from all parts of the globe-Portugese, Frenchmen, Germans and Swedes, and all apparently as mach at home as in their own country. Ardent lovers of liberty, kingcraft finds but little favor in their eyes. When the chartist ex- citement was raging in England, the most eloquent loaders in the movement were printers. When the banieades were raised in Paris, in 1818, the corn positors cast their types into bullets ank fired them at the.loyaliste troops. BAD BREATH.—Thero is nothing more offensive in the world than a bad breath. It is vulgar as well as offensive. In a man it is beyond endurance, in a wo- man, absolutely horrible. We should as soon think of marrying a girl with the small pox as one with an impure breath But as loathsome as the odors of a bad breath are, it is the easiest and simplest thing in the world to have at all times a sweet, inoffensive breath—aye, sweet ns the breath of a now born babe. In the first place keep a clean mouth, which is easily done by having all de- cay removed, with a little soap and wa ter and a good toothbrush. Common toilet soap will do, but Castile soap is preferable as it is more strongly alka- line, and contains less impurities. The tenth aro often decayed and filled with tartar and discolored by the !' acids ant vitiated secretions of the , stomach, and mouth, which may be perfectly coun- teracted and cleansed by soap, which is alkaline. If the breath is made offen- sive only by the teeth an observance of those directions will thoroughly and surely eradicate it. It may be necessa- ry to go elsewhere for the cause, where it is very frequently found—to the stom- ach. If so, it may bo readily corrected by proper dieting. If the breath is bud from this cause, the tongue will be found coated, the stomach oppressed, with perhaps the 'heartburn' and eruct- ations. Correct it by leaving of all di• et of an indigestible character, eat off ono half the quantity put into the stom- ach at each meal, and our word for it, the remedy will succeed most adreira- bly, and you will b: blest with one of Nature's greatest blessigs—a natural breath. THE SUM OF PIETY —Tire sum of 'pis ety towsrJs God, then, consists in love. This quickens, vitalizes, gives signifi- cance and power to everything else.— Not, indeed, that love exclndes knowledge, purity, rectitude and faith. It rather includes thein all, fills them all, being itself the vital element on which their value depends. Wicked 'nen may know rnuch about God and religion. but they are wicked because they do not love. The devils know God, and believe in God intellectually, but they are devils bocanso they hate God instead of loving him. - Bat ho who truly loves God will bo right in everything else. His faith will be un- feigned, his benevolence will be quick and active, ho will abstain from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, per- fecting holiness in the fear of the Lord. UNSPOKEN LANGUAGE.—How mnch expression can be given and exchanged by a grasp of the hand or a glance of the oye! The soft pressure of the hand is far more sympathetic than words. An intercourse with those we regard bearing silent yet powerful ev- idence of that unspeakable love which exists in the depths of onr nature, west eloquent when the tongue is si- lent. A warm pressure of the hand can be understood by all, young and old; the universal voice of nature needs no interpreter. The power of love ie too deep and too sacred to be adequately expressed in words; being. in fact, a foreshadowing of that more spiritual communion which will exist hereafter.

"There is not," said he, a vegetable growing. in our garden. that is not best when arrived at maturity, and most of them are injuri- ous, unless fully ripe." "Iknow one though that isn't so good when, it'a ripe as 'tis green,' interrupted a little boy, in a very confidential, but nrorlest manner. "What's that?" sharply Said the physician, vexed at having his principle disputed by a mere boy. "A cucumber," replied the lad.

Snit was amused in making an invent ory of the 'charms' of a young lady sit- ting opposite, who kindly afforded edo- ry futility for doing so. The stock on hand Was as follows: Two largo pins (one On mantilla and One On dress,) three gold chains, one massive gold crow', one gold watch key, one gold watch chain, two heavy bracelets, two heavy eardrops, four rings, one pair of very white hands, one pair very whits arms, the whole seduously and con- stantly displayed. The following description of a good wife is given by a down oaeter:— She hadn't no ear for music, Sam, but she had a capital eye for dirt, and with poor folks that is much Netter. No man ever seed as much dirt in my house as a fly could brush off with his wings.

A sudden and saddening change has come nylon popular opinion in regard to the aspect of our foreign lelations. Nothwitllstanding the pacifio tone of the public dispatches of the British Minister, in regard to the conclusion of the Trent affair, the impression is gain- ing ground in political circles that itis the purpose of England to find some pretext to engnge'in hostilities against the government, while we are occupied already with one gigantic enterprise that severely taxes the energies and res sources f the loyal States.

The recent intelligence of from Europe is construed to confirm nd this statement, and many here, are ar- of- prehensive that the utmost possible ex- pedition in the conduct of the war will ce not avert this danger. The Secretary of State, however, does 0, not appear to participate in these ap - ere prehensions.

THE THIRD REGIMENT.—Again urge upon Governor Ramsey that nerve and will, of the Third, should be divided for the protection of unimport- ant Railroad lines, poorly armed, and unnecessarily exposed, until their ranks are thinned by eicknese, and their drill neglected, until, instead of reflecting honor on thsir State, they become but the unimportant guarde, while others bear off the palms of victory. Th) Minnesota Third is impatient for the distinction that has been showered up- on the first and Second, and Governor Breckinndgo wing in that State, held a Ramsey should see that they have a ' onveution on the 8th of January, at which tboy resolved to keep up the par. ty organization at all hazards. Tom Hendricks, the President of the Conven tion, on taking rho chair, remarked: "If we abandon our organization un- der the false cry of no party, in whose hands do we leave the State and Fede- ral governments, and the rights and in tcrests of the people?" This is the key to all this partizan fealty of whatever organization. It is partizan jealousy, partizan emoluments and partizan honor, and how much these contribute to the real life and prosperity of the Government, let eve, -ry intelligent mind attest. It is gratifying to know that the pro- ceedsngs of this Convention is endors- ed by no largo body of the people of Indiana, and not only so, but its con- demnation is deep and fervent, as it ought to be everywhere against every- thing calculated to divide and distract the people, whether it has the impress of the Democratic, Republican or any other partizan organization.

SENATOR BRIGHT EXPELLED FROM THE SENATE.—The telegraph announces that Senator Bright was expelled from the councils of the Nation on the 5th inst. The telegraph further states that he drew his pay up to the last hour and turned his back upon the Senate. Now all this proceeding seems a lit- tle strange to us.

It is a useless con- sumption of time, and an insult to the wisdom and dignity of a people to talk of Railroad enterprises, while the whole power of the State and National Admin istratien, is taxed to its utmost to sus- tain the crumbling pillars of the Gene. ral Government.

Cacao, Feb. 7th.—Fort Henry on the Tennessee river, surrendered yester- day at 2 o'clock, after a determined re: sistance. The fight, which lasted an hour and twenty minutes, was conduct- ed by the gun boats Cincinnati, Essex and St. Louis. The Cincinnati fired a hundred and twenty-five rounds and received thirtyfour shots from the rebel guns. Only one man was killed. The St. Louis fired one hundred and ten shots, but received no damage.— The Essex was disabled at the tenth round by a ball striking her boiler.— Thirty two sten were killed and scalded to death. Capt. Porter was badly scalded, but not dangerously. - Two rebel generals, one colonel, two captains and one hundred privates were taken prisoners. The fort mounted seventeen guns. The land forces did not reach the scene of action. The Memphis and Ohio rail road bridge fifteen miles above the fort, bas been taken posession of by our troops. CINCINNATI, Feb. 7.—Cairo corres- pondents g'ves the following accounts of the bombardment and capture of Fort Henry yesterday at 12:30e. aI The gun boats Cincinnati, St. Louis, Carondelet, and Essex—the Tyler, Conestago and Lexington bringing up the rear—advanced boldly against the rebel works, going to the right of Pan- ther Creek Island, immediately above which, on the east shore of the river, stands the fortifications, and keeping out of range until at the head of the island, and within a mile of the energy. nines for information cu these subjects t enjoyed by none others, and all who have unshaken confidence in his sagaci• ty pronounces this talk about the im- minence of hostilities with Englaud up on some otter ground than that of the seizure of elven and Slidell, a simple Wall street panic.—.V. Y. Iierald. AMU the debates in Congress on the great question of slavery are interest- ing in no other respect, they place one truth beyond contradiction—that the loyal .VortIs is able to keep its temper.— In reality (bat is equivalent to victory, and may be regarded as its certain per- cusor. With all 'the losses and crosses, all the privations and sufferings in mind, body and estate, our representa- tives in both Houses of Congress have never sufferred their passions to get the better of their judgments. The exerts), tional cases have been only such as serve to confirm the truth of this state- ment as a general rule. A few men of Mr. Lovejoy's cast of mind may now and then havo talked in an excited and foolish manner; but the contrast which thoir speeches presented with those of the great body of solid, substantial members, tends only to enhance our appreciaticn of the whole. Wo refer with pleasure to the decorum which has prevailed since the present Congress as- sembled, while questions the most mo- mentous that have been agitated since the foundation of our Government, were being discussed. In view of what has b.en done so far, are we not called upon to 'thank God' and 'take courage.' Y. Com. Adv. - tt'Tho New York Tribune referring to Gen. Ward's report on the Recip- rocity Treaty says: "The report is very elaborate, and will embrace the following important points, 'The extent, population and resour- ces of the British North American provinces and possessions; the present treaty; its operation and effect upon the commerce of the United States; the ex isting condition of our commercial and fiscal relations with Canada and the line of policy most conducive to the in tcrests and welf:►re of both countries; the tendency of modern invention and civilzation on the intercourse of nations including the leading principles of the German Commereial Union or Zollver sin, and their applicability to the Unit- ed States and the coterminus or adja- cot British provinces and possesions; the mutual relations of Canada and Groat Britain and the colonies, so far as they affect the United States, and a method of negotiation for the removal of existing difficulties," STANTON AND M'CLELLAN.—Tho va• rions rumors to the effect that Secreta- ry Stanton is to assume the active man• agement of the army, leaving to Gen M'Clellan the command of the army of the Potomac only, haw this foundation: A week since the staff of Gen. M'Clel- Ian were ordered to bo in readiness for a movement across the river. They made every preparation for so doing, and Major E. M. Green, of their nnm- bar,weot to New York for the purpose of purchasing certain personal supplies for their use. 1n consequence of the state of the roads they have not yet been or- dered over, bat they are ready to go, and when they go Gen. M'Clellan will tarn over to the temporary charge of Mr. Stanton the contr.)! of all the forcer. with the exceetion of the army of the Potomac. It will be remembered that when General Scott went to Mexico he pursued a similar course, thus leaving himself free to attend to the more im- portant matter on hand. Gen. M'Clel- Ian and Secretary Stanton are on the best terms. BARLi:Y COFFEE —We see it stated that the demand for this article is rap- idly increasing. Probably not more than one-third of the amount of real coffee is now sold per week, that was sold previous to the coffee tariff. The barley coffee is said to be an excellent article; just as good to all intents and purposes, as the genuine article. Or- dinary barley is first soaked in water until a little softened, then dried and roasted as we roast the coffee kernel.— It is then ground. To about as much ground coffee as would be used at a meal, add one tea spoonful of the extract of coffee to make a Savor. terMrs. Gen. Gaines Lae gsue South under a flag of truce. Passing the island in fell view of lie rebel guns, we steadily advanced, every man at his post, every car strain- ed to catch the flag officer's signal gun for the commencement of the action. Our line of battle was on the Left—St. Louis next, Carondoleut next, Uiucin- nati (for the time being the flag ship. having on board flag officer A. H. Foote,) next, and the Essex nex', We advanced in line, the Cin-eimnati a boat's length ahead, when at 12:30 the Cincinnati oponed the ball, and imme- diately three accompanying boats fol- lowed suit. The enemy, not back- ward, gave admirable response, and the fight raged furiously for half an hour. We steadily advanced, receiving and returning storms of shot and shell, when, getting within three hundred yards of the enemy's %yolks, we came to a stand and poured into them right and Left. In the meantime the Essex had been disabled and drifted awat from the scene of action, leaving the Cincinnati, Caroudelet and St. Louie alone engaged. At precisely forty minutes past one, the enemy struck his colors, and such cheering, such wild excitement as seized the throats, arms and caps of the 400 or 500 sailors • of the gunboats, can be imagined. After the surrender, which was male to flag officer Foot by Gen. Lloyd Tilgman, who defended his fort in a most determined planner, wo founl the rebel infantry encamped outside the fort, numbering 4,000 or 5,000. They had cut and run, leaving the rebel ar- tillery company in command of the fort to their fate. The fort mounted 17 guns, mostly 32 and 24 pounders, one being a mageificei,t 10 inch Co• lumbiad. Our shots dismounted two of their guns, drir•ing the enemy from the embrasures. One of their rifled 32 pounders burst during the engage- ment, wounding ono of their gunners. Therebels claim to havo had but eleven guns worked by fifty•foar men, the number all toll, of our prisoners, They lost five killed and ten badly wounded The infantry left everything in their flight. A vast deal of plun- der has fallen into our hands, including a large and valuable quantity. of ord- nance stores. Gen Tilghman is disheartened, and thinks it was one of the most damag- ing blows of the wpr in surrendering to flag officer Foote. The rebel general remarked, "I am glad tosurrender to so gallant an of- fieer. Flag officer Foote replied, "You do perfectly right, sir, in surrendering, but yon should have blown my boats out of the water before I would have sur- rendered to you." In the engagement, the Cincinnati being in the lead and flying the flag officer's pennant, was the chief mark. Flag officer Foote and Captain Stembel crowded her defl•tntly into the teeth of the enemy's guns. She got thirty one shots, some of them going completely through. Tho Essex was badly trip. pled. When about half through the fight, and crowding steadily against the enemy, a ball went into her port side forward port, through the heavy bulk head and squarely through ono of her boilers, scalding and killing several of her crew. Captain Porter, his aid, 8- P. Britton, and paymaster Lewis were standing in direct line of the pas- sing balk. S. P. Bri• 0o being in the centre of the group, a shot struck bim on the top of his head, scattering his brains in every direction. The escap- ing steam went into the pilot house, inetantiy killing Ford and McBride, pilots. Many of the sailors, at the rnsh of steam, jumped overboard and were drowned. The Cincinnati had one kiled and six wounded; the Essex had six seamen killed, two officers and seventeen men wounded, and fivo mis sing. No caaualities on the St. Louis or Carondolent, though shot and shell fell upon them like rain. The St. Louis was commanded by Capt. Leon- ard Paulding who stood upon the gun deck and fought the guns to the last. Not a man flinched, and with cheers sent shot and shell among tho ememy. CINCINNATI, Feb. 8.—Special dins patches to the Commercial and Ga- zette give additional details of . the capture of Fort Henry. At the time of the attack the rebel infantry were eating dinner. They abandoned everything, leaving thous sends of shot guns, all their camp equipage and clothing. f In pursuing the enemy, Major Mc eseammirmeememessemipiasee 1 Calloegh, of Col.

WASHINGTON, Feb; 7.—Governor Sprague of Rhode Island telegraphed Mr. Spaulding to day, that the Provi- dence Banks desire the legal tender bill to become the law of the land and speedily. A dispatch from Cincinnati expressed the impatience of the bankers of that city to have the $150,000,000 notes made legal tender. The alterations made by Mr. Stevens' substitute, leave the legal tender and other characteris- tic features of Mr. Spaulding's bill it retains the present $50,000,000 of notes, and orders new notes for that amount to be substituted so as to have all of the same description and appear- ance. It frees from taxation United States bonds and stocks issued under the act, and allows holders of notes to fund them in six per cent. twenty year bonde, and -provides that the notes may be impressed with the United States Treasury Seal, and the signature to them engraved instead of written, and punishes counterfeiting of there with the the utmost Sseverity. The bill will pass enate. The last million of dollars in the Treasury was sent by Mr. Chase to Kentucky for the needy troops who are fighting the enemy. ANOTHER DISLOYAL SENATOR. The expulsion of Bright is likly to prove only the beginning of the war against Senators suspected of disloyal- ty. Attention is already being direct. ed against Mr. Powell of Kentucky. It is said that shortly a resolution will be introduced in the Senate directing the superintendent of the document. roll to inform that body what public d.,cuments'Mr. PJwell has ordered to he sent to members of the Southern Confederacy since the formation of the Provisonal Government. CAPTURE OF A REBEL SPY. A rebel spy was captured yesterday by a company of McDowell's division in the hollow of an old tree, where he has been secreted for several days. lle was fully snpplied with provisions.— He refused to tell his business. FLAG OF TRUCE. There is the highest authority for stating that there Is no truth in the report that the recent rebel flag of truce brought to head quarters here a communication threatening the lives of the hostages, Col. Corcoran and others, in the event of the execution of the Missouri bridge burners. There is in the communication no allusion what- ever to that subject. GENERAL FREMONT. Several of the congressional friends of General Fremont, including psoati- nent members of the committee on the conduct of the war, are understood to have preferred an urgent request to the President to have the General assigned to a new command. Senator Simmons will to day intros duce his project for the establishment of a national bank, a savings bank a fiscal agency. THE TAX DILL. The committee of ways and moans expect to report the tax bills next week. and ALLOTMENTS OF PRISONERS OF WAR. The President has approved the joint resolution to anthorize the Secretary of War to procure from such officers and enlisted men of • the United States army as are now or hearafter may be held as prisoners of war in the Con- ederrte States from time to time, their r.spective allotments of pay to their families, upon which certified allot ment the Secretary shall cai:se drafts to be made payable in the city of Nety York and-3oston, to the order of such person to whom the allotments were or may be made, and to remit the drafts to the address cf such person as may be designated. The Senate Millitary Committee res ported adversely to the House bill for the payment of field officers of volun- teer regiments, for service rendered prior to the organization of their com- mands. The Invalid Pension Committee will reccominenrl a new bill supplying de- ficits in former laws, especially as re- gards regular soldiers. Government has intelligence of a design by Groat Britain to seize the Sandwich Islands. REMOVAL OF COL. BERDAN. The d;fficulties in Col. Berdan's regiment will be settled by a removal of the Colonel, the arming of the men with Celt's rifles and revolvers and sending them to the front. MEXICAN AFFAIRS. The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs had Mexican Matters under consideration Tor two hours this morn- ing. No conclusion was reached.— New interest has been awakened by the news of the victory at National Bridge, and the friends of Mexico are sanguine that some one of the plans for her as- sistance by the United States will be adopted.

FIGHT AT ROANOIKE ISLAND. NEW YORK, Feb. 11.---A Fort Mon- roe letter of the 9th says that the bombardment of Roanoke Island con- tinued yesterday until about noon. Commodore Lind got his rebel flotil- launder way and came down to Cur- rituck Sound to assist Wise on the Island. The federal gunboats at 5 P. M. of the 8th bad sunk three gunboats, and captured twenty-one, one of which bad the Commodore's flag, and dispersed most of the rebel gunboats in every direction. Firing ceased at dark, but recommenced with increased vigor in the morning, until 8 o'clock, when it was supposed the rebels sur- rendered. It was rumored at Norfolk on the morning of the 9th, that three regi— ments had been recently sent t) Roan- oke Island, and as there was no chance of escape, they are probably captured . The rebels acknowledge that the only obstacle of importance to retard Burnside's march upon Norfolk, ase swamps, marshes and sickness. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 —A letter • NEW ADVEIITISEJIENTS.

COLFAX ON THE Wan.—Mr. Colfax has written an intorresting letter to his paper, the St. Joseph Valley Register, which closes as foll„ws: "Let me add one thing here in jus- tice to our ex CommandereinsChief, General Scott. When he showed me, last May, his carefully elaborate plan for a movement down the Mississippi River, at 'its first autmnal swell,' I felt dispirited that it was to be so long postponed. Bnt be replied that it co'd not be done earlier, and that that was just the time. He was thought 'slow' then; but the flotilla has not yet mov- ed. Again: at that time the whole country was clamorous for more caval- ry. He said, to a small extent, for scooting and for pursuit, the popular demand is just, but he added that it would take six months to drill cavalry regiments to stand the shock of a rag- ing battle, and six mouths more at least to enable them to use their weap• one efficiently while conducting their horses at the same time.

MILLER.—We are happy to learn that Lieut. Col. Miller, the pride of his regiment. has so far recovered his health as to be able to report at head- quarters. Much as ho may be desired in his regiment, loth as would be the men to part with him, we believe it is duo to him, that ho be sent home, to try the effects of our invigorating clis mate on his tailing strength. Wo have no disposition to sacrifice so good a man to the malaria of the Potomac. GRATIFYING.—It is most gratifying to us, as it doubtless is to every citi- zen of this place to know, that the Univeraity building has finally been secured for its original object. After the hopes of the most sanguine had almost departed, we are now able to congratulate the public on the posses Bion of a nucleus here around which may be reared a superior institution of learning. A number of individuals, stringent as the times are, have been able to raise the funds necessary, and it may now be said to no longer be at the mercy of circumstances. TSR PACKET COMPANIES. —Capt.

Bova z Dame IMPERIAL WINS BITTERS, and in this short period they have given such universal satieflictien to the ineey thonsands of persons who have trice' them that it is now an established article— The amount of bodily arid mental misery rising simply flom a neglect of small eem- plamte is surprising, and therefore it is of the utmost importance that a strict attention to the least and most trifling ailment should be bed: for diseases of the body must. invari- ably affect the mind. The subscribers now only ask a trial of Dr.J.Bovee Dod's Imperial Wine Bitters from all who have not used them. We chal lenge the world to produce their equal. These Bitters for the cure of Weak Stom- achs, General Debility, and for Pura -3 ing and. Enriching the Blood, are absolutely unsur- passed by any other remedy on earth. To be assured of this, it is only necessary to make the trial. The Wine itself is of a very superior quality, being about one third stron- ger then other wines; warming and invigor- ating the whole system from the head to the feet. As these Bitters are tonic and altera- tive in their character, so they strengthen and invigomte the whole system and give a fine tone and healthy action to all itsparts, by equalizing the circulation, removing ob- structions, and producing a general warmth. They are also excellent for diseases and weak - nes peculiar to Females, where a tonic is required to strengthen and brace the System, No lady, who is subject to lassi- tude and faintnese, should be without them, as they are revivify in their action. THESE BITTERS win not only Cure, but prevent Disease and in this respect are doubly valuable to the person who may use them. For INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION Weak Lunge, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Disea- ses of the Nervous System. Paralysis, Piles, and for all cases requiring a tonic Dr. Dod's Celebrated Wino Bitters ARE usscarAssEn ! Fer Sore Throat, so common among the Clergy, they are truly valuable. For the aged and infirm, and for persons of a weak constitution; for Ministers of the Dos pel, Lawyers, and all public speakers; for Book -Keepers, Tailors, camstresse, Stu dents, Artists, and all persons lending a sed- entary life, thcy will prove truly beneficial. ' As a Beverage, they are wholesome, inno cent and delicious to the taste. They pro duce all the exit iterating effects of Brandy or Wine, without intoxicating; and are a valua- ble remedy for persons addicted to the use of excessive strong drink, and who wish to re- frain from it. They are pine and entirely free from the poisons contained in theadulter- ated Wines and Liquors with Veich the country is flooded. These Bitters not only Cure, but Preveitt Diseaee, and should be used by all who live in it country where the water is bad, or where Cltills and Fevers are prevalent. Being en- tirely innocent and harmless, they may be - given freely to Children and infants with iin• punity. Physicians, Clergymen, and temperance advocates, ns an net of humanity, should as- sist in spreading these truly valuable BIT. TERS over the land, and thereby eesentially aid in banishing deunkennees and disease. In all affections of the Head. Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache Dr. Dods, Imperiel %Vine Bitters Will be found to be most salutary and ef- ficacious. Poe 1.13. ctlein The many certificates which have been ten- dered us, and the letters which we are daily ieceiving, are conetusive proof that among the women these Bitters have giuen a satis- faction which no others have ever done be- fore. No woman in fir e land should he with out them, and those who once use them will not fail to keep a supply. DR. I BOVEE DODS' IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS are prepared by an , eminent physician who has used them successfully in his practice for the last twenty-fivo years. The tropri, before purchasing the exclusive rior t to et ufactur. re and sell DJ. Boyce Dods' Celebra- ted Imprint Wine Bitters, had them tested by two distinguished medical practitioners who pronounced them a valuable remedy for drsease. Although the medical men of the country, as a general thing disapprove of Patent Med- icines, yet we do not believe that a respecta ble Physician ean be found in the United States, acquainted with their medical prop- erties, evil° will not highly approve Dr. J. Boyce Dods' Imperial Wine Bitters. All newly settled places, where there is al- ways a large quantity of decaying timber from which a poisonous miasma is created, lese bitters should be used every morning oefore breakfast. DR. J.

OUNTaY RIGHT; IfUT RIGHT OR WRONG, MY COUNTRY." HASTINGS, MINNESOTA, FEB. 20, : : : 1862. C. STEBBINS, Editor. LATEST NEWS. From Missouri we have the report that Price has been driven from the State into Arkansas, and that the Union troops had followed him there, and that our flag now waves over Arkansas soil. In Price's flight he lost many men who were taken prisoners, and arms, provi- sions, &c. From other parts of Mis- souri the news is cheering. It is reported that Prices' son has been taken prisoner, together with a large number of recruits for the rebel srmy. It is reported that the Governor of Tennessee has comruandod the people of that State to lay down their arms and submit to the authority of the United States. CUR VICTORIES. Since our last issue the victorious arms of the Government have carried consternation into the ranks of rebel- dom, and joy to every federal heart. - Along the entire line, t'rotu every battle field, victory perches on the banner of the Republic. Victory has not been won without the sacrifice of good men, and sorrow for the fallen follows quirk on the heels ,of the announcement of triumph. With the exception of Columbus, w Lich, like a roast turkey, only awaits the picking, secession has been driven from Kentucky, and the way is opened for a triumphal march to tho Gulf of -Mexico. From Pamlico Sound a res- oluta soldiery will soon follow up the victory at Roanoke Island by the con- gnest'of Norfolk, and then the cry of ..on to Richmond" will have its full' significance, and Manassas pressed in front and rear, will be the grand tri- umph of the war, and secession in its stronghold will be ground to powder. Nor are we to e:tpect much less from Beaufort river and contiguous points. Already the news is flashed over the wires that Savannah is ours, though this needs confirmation. Possessed of this point we command a largo region of country, hold the Southern rail- roads on the Atlantic coast, and are in such a position as to menace every Southern city from the mouth of Ches., Geake Bay to Fort Pickens. 1+'rom Fort Pickens and Ship Island, we can ex- pect cosoperation v'vith the troops from Savannah, that will wipe the rebellion from the Gulf States. It seems to us, whether the war is a long or a short one, we bold positions that no longer render the result doubtful. A TRUTH or IIISTorY.-It io a curi- ous fact, in connection with the hypo- critical clamor of the English against out stone blockade, that one of the very ports thus blockaded, that of Savan- nah, was blockaded in the same way by themselves in 177o. Its effects remsin to this day at what is called "'1'be Wrecks," in Savannah river, fifteen miles above Tybee Island, and only two miles below the Savannah Exchange. They reduced the channel to a depth of abort eight feet Where it was formerly fifteen The wrecks at this point were sunk during the Revolution, by direc- tion of the commander of the English forces, then In possession of Savannah, to 1lockade the entrance to the Front river, as a protoctiou against the ap- proach of the French and American fleets. So far as can be ascertained, the vessels sunk were the following: - Hie Majesty's ship Rose, the Savannah arrned snip, purchased into the King's setyice 801110 time before, and four tran- sports, which blocked up tho channel. Onr Government has spent 840,000 in the partial removal of this old British blockade. THE LEGI,LATUR E -Tho Legislature still draw's its slow length along with every probability of consuming every moment of the Constitutional limit of the session. Local legislati,,n almost exclusively cunsumes the time, and.be- yond the division of Counties and towns the laying out of roads, and matters of hkeerature nothing has been done. 01 course the railroad scl,erners must snake tt little steal, and not being able to steal $5,000,000, they must steal the time of the people's 1@pressntahvee, but as yet legislatiou fur thorn has taker, uo definite shape.

DANGER TO NEW ORLEANS. The New Orleans Delta of January $0ti,,exprea'ses much anxiet4.:relative to the gunboat expedition. .114 Delta asks that five thousad men hie sent from New Orleans to Columbus. The ap- pointment of Gen. Beauregard, the en- emy's 'beet engineer, to command at Columbus, is an additional, indication of the peril now felt to menace the con- federacy in the West, and on the Gulf, After declaring its belief that New Or. leans is sufficiently fortified against an attack by sea, the Delta says: "But what is the fact in regard to the route down the river from Columbus! Should Columbus fall, what is to pre- vent the enemy from sweeping down the river with an immense fleet of guns boats and floating batteries which he has been so long preparing at St. Louis and Cairo, and, with a hundred thousand men under Ilalleck, to attack us on one side, while an expedition, striking up from the sea, would attack us on the mhos, Who can answer? Do effect- ual defences answer? Do preparations for defence in rapid progress answer?- Whcre aro the defences? Who is en- gaged in the preparations? These quos tions admit of no satisfactory answer. Our dependence at present for the safety of the city from the approach of a formidable expedition down the riv• er, is upon Columbus. That is the northen key to the Mississippi delta. - That in possession of the enemy, the floodgates of invasion will be opened. Our situation would not bo hopeless, for tho soul of Southern men, fighting a war of independence, must not dream of despair, but we would bo coit onted with terrible danger, and the whole country exposed to fearful evils. On one c ndition only can we realize an assurance that such dangers will not oc- cur, and that such evils will never im- pend. • taarThe last Legislature of Kansas (which was also the first of the State) voted a loan of 8100,000 for general pnrposos, and a special war loan of $20 000, the same to be negotiated by the Auditor, Secretary of State, and Treas- urer, but not at a less rate than seventy cents on the dollar. The present Leg- islature has inquired into it, and finds that one Robert S. Stevens purchased the $100,000 at sixty per cent., and the 820,000 at forty per cent., selling the entire .amount to the Department of the 'Interior at Washington, for the Indian trust funds; the war bonds at 95 per cent., and the general loan at 72 per cont. The State lost, therefore. 81ti,000 as the difference between the seventy leer cent. and the price at which the bunds were given out, while Stevens by selling at more than sevcoty per cent made a cool 823,000. But this is not all. The investigating committee eati• mate that the entire frauds of the Rob- inson Government amount, in the first year's history of the State, to not less than 810,000. FLOYD'S LAbT STEAL -At the siege. of Donelson, Floyd, with bis character istic meanness stole away from his cons paniuns in arms the night before the Fort capitulated. It is said that this flight was conducted without the knowl- edge or consent of his rebel confederates, and was deuouneed by them as traitor- ous and back hearted cowardice. .A mistaken people whore he has led to the brink of ruin tnsy yet meet out to hire that justice which up to the pres- ent time, bo has managed to evade. ENGLAND -Tho Nashville, the Reb- el 1>,ivateer that wee being watched in the port of Southampton, has sailed from that harbor.

FLAG STEAMER, PHILADYLPHTA, 1 Off Roanoke Island, Feb. 9th, 18fr2. ) Roanoke Island is ours. The mili- tary authorities struck to us yesterday. Their means of defences were truly formidable, and were used with a de- termination worthy of a better cause. They consisted of two elaborately con- structed works, mounting together 22 heavy guns, three of them being one hundred pounders, rifled; four other batteries, mounting together 20 guns, a large proportion of them being of largo calibre, and some of them rifled; eight steamers, mounting two grins each, and each having a rifled gun with a diameter of a 32 pounder; a pro- longed obstruction of sunken vessels and piles to thwart our advance, and altogether a body of men numbering scarcely less than five thousand, of whom three thousand are now prison- ers. The fighting commenced on the morning of the 7th at about 11 o'clock, and was continued until dark. The following morning it was resumed at an early hour, and it lasted until late in the afternoon, when, by a bold charge by our army, the rebel flag was made to succoumb,and ours was hoisted everywhere on the Island in its place. No attack could have been more com- pletely executed, and it was carried out precist ly in accordance with the ar- rangements made before the expedition eft Cane Hatteras Inlet. [Signed.] J. M.

At first many of the prisoners were loud in their denounciations of the runaways, and many acknowledged the hopelessness of their cause, and inti mated a willingness to take the oath of allegiance. To a question put to an officer as to how many prisoners wo had, he replied, "You have all out of 25,000 who were not killed or did not escape." It is im- possible to get a list of the killed and wounded, as the killed have not all been brought in, and they are mixed up with the rebels killed.

The Oregon Democrat, Los Angelos, and California Star, have been sap- preseed from the mails, on the ground that they have been used for the pur- pose of overthrowing the Government and giving aid and comfort to the ene- my now at war against the United States.

So great was the scarcity of iron and coal that work there was being suspended. Coal was enormous- ly high.

Yesterday morning just at daylight a heavy sortie was made by the garrison from the left portion of their works. - This attack was made upon the extreme right wing of. the Union army, whore it was the weakest point of (len. Mc. Clernand's division, under Col. Ogles, by, consisting of his brigade, which was stationed there; also Schwartz and McAllister's batteries. The point was upon a ridge leading into the right redoubt, and was situa- ted just above the main fort. During the night the enemy could be heard busily at work, but what at it was im- possible to tell, as thickets and woods cmcompaseed the Union troops on the enemy's side, rendering the view in auy direction aliuoetimpossiblo. At daylight a large body of the enemy suddenly appeared on the ex - trema right wing of Colonel Ogleby's command and opened a terrible fire with cannon from their redoubts, play- ing at the same time upon our forces from guns placed in position on the night previous. The camp of the 28th and 31st In- diana were most exposed, and the whole brigade were at once formed into lino as follows: The 18 Illinois held the extreme right, the 30th Illinois next, then the 27th Illinois supporting the right of Captain Swartz's battery and 31st Illinois defending the artillery on the left. From the firing of the first gun until nine o'clock the battle raged unremittingly and with fearful force on both sides. Again and again our troops drove the enemy back, but they were often reinforced, while our troops had, owing to the extended lines of the army, and also their position on the extreme right, to fight unassisted. No more gallant fighting ever took place, than that of the Union troops, exposed to the tc;rible firing of treble their number. They stood their ground, until in some regiments every officer was kills 1 or wounded. At last, and reluctantly, regiment by reg• iment, they slowly fell back, leaving Schwartz's battery, and three of Mc. Clernand's guns in the rebels bands. Retiring a few hundred yards, they again made a stand, and Gen. Smith arrived with reinforcements, and at once drove the enemy again into their works. In the first of the battle was also Gen. Wallace's Brigade, also Col. McAuthues brigade, all of which troops suffered severely. Opposed to them were 12,000 rebels, supported by guns placed carefully in position. Gen. Grant, having command of a division, drove the enemy back with reinforcements, and having gained the lost ground, at once ordered an advance by Gen. Smith on the left, charging under a hot fire up the steep hill, on which was the outer redoubt. Our troops gained the high breast works, and with hardly a pause, went over them, planting the stars and stripes over the walls. The scene within the capturad fort af- ter the surrender ahowed•how terribly th, rebel garrison had suffered. Eve- rywhere were lying fragments of shells and round shot half buried in the earth Tents were torn to pieces,;gun carriages broken, and blood scattered around. In the left redoubt where the assault had taken place, the dead bodies lay thickly, an abundant evidence of the stern resistance and gallant attack was visible. No officer in the army had an ides of Fort Donelson's defences until they had been gained end examined it. Several regiments when out of am- munition, rushed forward, spd although SPRINGFEID, Feb. 14.•-Onr army under command of General Curtis, marched on the 11th, formdd-- in three divisions; the right under Colonel Jeff. C. Davis, the left under Colonel Carr, and the center under General Sigel.- Sii miles from Springfield on the 12th a skirmish took place between our ad- vance -Ind g d- vatrce-Anda party of rebels, in which nine of the latter were killed, and one of our men was slightly wounded. At sunset same day, 300 of the en- emy attacked our pickets, but were driven back with a loss 'Of ` 30. This was regarded as the commencement of battle, and 3,000 cavalry and infantry with a battery of artillery were sent forward. At 3 o'clock on the morning of the 13th, our forces advanced in line of battle on Springfied. General Price retreated leaving over 600 of his sick and large quantities of forage and wagons behind. He had 12,000 effective troops, and five pieces of artillery. Yesterday eve- ning a battallion of our cavalry cap- tured 100 wagons of his train, and last night firing by pickets was heard in the direction of the retreating foe.- Thie morning at 6 o'clock our whole force followed the ememy. Gen. Halleck received a dispatch from Gen. Curtis, saying Price's rear was overtaken in the pursuit from Springfield, and after is brief resistance the rebels fled, leaving the road strewed with wagons and baggage. Gen. Cur- tis reports having taken more prisoners than he knew what to do with. THE GREAT MORTAR FLEET. -A num• ber of the vessels attached to Commo- dore Porter's mortar fleet have sailed South to the place of rendezvous and others will soon follow. The expedi- tion has been forming here for some months and many experiments have been made to test the strength of the mortars. The heavy mortars were cast at Pits - burg, and have an average weight of about 17,000 pounds. The diameter of the bore is 13 inches, and the depth 30 inches, with a thickness of metal around it of fifteen inches. The diames ter of the trunnions is 15 inches and the complete length of the mortar is 50 inn ches. They may be used alike upon sea or land, and are elevated or depres- sed by means of projections upon the breech. It is said that accurate firing may be made at distance of over two miles. The bombshells to be used weigh ens filled two hundred pounds each, when filled an a_Iditional twelve pounds is given. A bout eight thousand of these missiles have been manufactured for the fleet. Each vessel has been provided with two thirty-two pounders, weighing three thousand seven hundred pounds. They are smooth bore, and throw solid shot and shell. The vessels, which are mostly schoon- ers of two and three hundred tons bur- den, number twenty -ono in all. The side wheel steam gunboat, Octorara is to be the flagship of the flotilla. &Arne President and a number of the Cabinet aro favorable to giving Fre mont another command, but it is op- posed by the anti•Fromonters. The Committee on the conduct of the war express t hemselvee satisfied with his course, part of his original plan hay ing been to go up the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, seize the railroads, and then take Memphis, and open the ports, instead of carrying on a fillibus- tering war around the Missouri swamps and Arkansas wilds; first having left St. Louis so that it could be defended against all odds by a small force. The Committee called on Secretary Stanton and asked the reinstatement in command at once of Fremont, and in- fortned him that his record was clear. Ben. Wade wanted him to have com- mand of the whole army of the Poto- mac. Secretary Stanton pledged his word that he should be placed where he could fight for his country. tThe telegraph reports a rumor that Savannah has surrendered to the federal forces without firing a gun. It is only a rumor and we give it as such, but hope that it will be confirmed by the next despatches. ®ca. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. STAT E OF MINNESOTA, ssProbatey COUNTY ON DAKOTA. Court.

William III., the champion )ffice. of Protestant interests, waged a long war with the magnificent and proflrga'e FRED. THOMAN, Louis XIV., of France. Could Puri- tan New England refrain from lending a helping hand? Two considerable ex- peditions sailed from . Boston against the'Northern French possessions, both of which ended in cad wrei'k and loss, and brought on New England the curse of depreciated paper money. This was E. E 1 C R 0 P. N, always styled by the colonists, "King NOTARY :PUBLIC Wllhe liam next awar known as Queen Anne's war, began in 1702, and ended with the peace of Utrecht in 1713 — It was in this war that the greet Marl. borough won his most brilliant victo- ries. The brave and generous sons of H. 0. MOWERS, Massachusetts again assailed the French in the North and wrested from them the province of Nova Scotia, a con- quest which the treaty of Utrecht con- firmed. After thirty years of peace the third war broke ont, called Ding ueorge's war, because it occurred in tho reign of Georgo H. It lasted from 1734 to IIOMEOPAT.H TC 1738. Once more Massachusetts, with tlio aid of six other colonies, sent north- ward a mighty- armament, and con• quered the stronghold of Louisburg on the island of Cape Breton, an event that was celebra ted in every town from Boston to Charleston, with bonfires, fireworks, illuminations, baibacues and thanksgivings. The valient Yankee who commanded was knighted and made a lieutenant general fer his con• duct on this occasian. Sir William Pepperrell he was thenceforth called. Next came the long, fierce tear, in which Braddock fell, and Wolfe took Quebec, and all Canada and all India foll ander the dominion of Britain, the war eondueted by William Pitt. In Europe this war is called the Seven Year's War; but in America, where it lasted more than ten years, we cone- nionl-v style it the Old French War.— It began in 1753, and ended with the peace of Paris, in 1763. Glorious Now England, nobly seconded by New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, bore the brunt of this great contest. Then came the war of the revolution, which lasted eight years; then the rup- ture with France in 1798; then the war of 1812; then the war with Mexico— and last this war of 1861, in which we are now engaged. All the old French wars were main• ly fought and paid for by New Eng- land, and we have the testimony of Gen. Washington himself that hie great reliance daring the war of the rev. elution was upon Yanked steadiness and valor. In the war of 1812, and the war with Mexico tt• a Southerners bore their full share; but it was New England and New York sailors that won the battles on the sea and taught "This sight, filled ire with delightful the world that the United States had a surprise; but it would be utterly fin - navy.. possible for inn to. describe the ameba - so amazement that -followed, as within ia"Discipline, like the bridle, in the the limite I mention, my eyes took in hand of a good rider, should exercise . in a minute, but lightening -like detail, its influence witheuf appearing todoso every river, every rivulet, every city, ev- should be ever active, both as aeupp-ort ery village every camp, every tent, coo and as a restraint, yet seem to lie easi-• cry body of men every sentinel, every Minnesota Central University. ly.iu hand.

'There was a pecnliatity about it this time; it seemed as though I—a mere atom of matter—waw suspended in the centro of an infinite space, and that the voice came from a hollow distance all around me. As the last word was ut- tered I regained, by some felt and yet unknown power, my volition, and with the change, the grape 'shot sensation ceased, and a strange but new dna seize ed my heart; one as of a.huge, rough icicle being sawed back and forth thro' me. 'I started up, or rather 1 shotill say I thought I started up, for whether I was awake or asleep I am utterly un- able to decide. My first thought was about my maps, and before my eyelids had half opened, my hand was grasp- ing them. 13ut this was all. The fable was still before me, and the maps, all crumpled in my tightening clutch, were still before me; but everything else had disappeared. The furniture was gone, the ceiling was not to be seen. All 1 saw was the tablean I am about to de- scribe to you. 'My gaze was turned Southward, and there. spread out before me was a liv- ing map, yes a living map, that is the only expression I can think of as befit- ting the scene. In one grand coup d'ad my eye took in the whole expanse of the country, as far South as the Uulf of Mexico, and from the Atlantic nn the east to the Mississippi river westwardly. 'Before fixing my attention upon the immerses scene, however, I thought of the mysterious visitant, whose voice I had heard but a moment preying, and I looked toward him. An apparation stood on my left, somewhat in front, at a distance of about six feet from me.— I sought for his features, hoping to rec. ognize him. But I was disappointed, for the statue -tike -figure was nought but a vapor, a cloud, having only the general outlines of a man. 'This troubled rue, and I was turning the matter over in my mind when the shadowy visitor, in the same slow,sol• emu tone as before, said: "General McClellan, yonr time is short I Look to the Southward 1' 'I felt unable to resiet the command, even ha'i I wished to do so, and again, therefore my eyes were cast over the living map. 'Out on the Atlantic I saw the vari- ous vessels of the blockading squadron looming up with the most perfect dis- tinctness in the bright moonshine, that illuminated everything with a strong but mellow light. I saw Charleston Har- bor and its forts, with their pacing sen- tinels, and their sullen looking barbetto, guns. My eyes followed the Ocean line all the way around into the . Gulf, to New Orleans, and thence up tha Mis- sissippi.

I Inclined my head forward to receive the blessiig, the baptism of the spirit of Washington; ''The' following instant a peal of thttniier rolled in upon my ears, and I awoke. The Vision bad departed, and I was again sitting in my apartment, with everything exactly as it. was be- fore I" fell asleep, with one exception. 'The map, on which I had been marking, was literally covered with a net work of pencil marks, signs and figures. 'I rose to my feet, rubbed my eyes, and took a turn or two about the room to convince myself that I was really awake. I again seated myself; but the pencilings wore as plain as ever, and I had before me as complete a map and repository of information as though 1 had spent years in gathering and recording its details. 'My mind .now became"confused with the st:auge and numberless ideas arid thoughts that crowded .themselves into it, and I voluat:►rily sank down on my knees to Seek wisdom and gnid• aneofroro on high. As I rose, 're. freabed in spirit, the same solemn voice suited to say to me, from ; "an infinite distance:. "Your time is short! Tarry not!' 'In an instant thought became clear and active.

The rebels on the ap- proach of the forces under Genersl Mitchell, applied /he torch, consigning the city to ruins, while they fled before OUT victorious army.

Governor Ramsey has appointed Cap. lain Alfred Sully, of Pensvlvania, Col. of the First Regiment of Minnesota Volunteers, in the place of Dna, pro• motel. The St. Paul Press eay,l, c'oubtless with a view to shield Govern or Ramsey, and weaken the force of the rebuke cat upon the gallant First, that this appointment was made "upcn the recommendation of Genernl Dana. Lieu- tenant Colonel Miller au 1 others direct- ly interested." O1flcere and soldier+ of our veteran First, this is hut a (louleful compliment,1 to your inteliigenco, lova'ty and courage. You have been ahno. t ten months in the seraiee, and every report that comes home beers evidence of your proficiency; in drill and your superior discipline, and yet not one of you, according to the Governor, is capable) of taking the com- mand. Your skill and prowess has been acknowledged by the superior officers of the army by according to you the post of honor and of danger Ifcaeefter whatever honor may accrue to the State by the valor of your eons, is to be clivi• ded between you and n Pennsylvania! commander. With this disposition to t ignore the claims of the men of our own State, by the Governor, the door of IS promotion is forever closed, and the ani bition to excel, which prompts to dee,'s THE NEWS AT NAS11V1LLE. A military correspondent' of the In- dianapolis Journal. writing frotn Sinn, fordsville, Kentucky, states that before he left our Green River camps, a gen- tleman had just reached there, who had left Nashville on the day of the recep- tion of the news of the fall of Fort Donelson. He is a very strong Union man, mad had premeditated an escape to our liuea soma time since, but the strictness of the rebel guards had pre- vented the consummation of his plans, until everything bad been thrown into confusion by this, to the rebels, most terrible news. He represents the state of excitement at Nashville as being un- precedented. A perfect panic reigned throughout the whole city. The streets were thronged with people wild with excitemeat. Leading rebels were mak- ing speeches from store goods boxes, from the street comers, to the excited populace, etating that the Federals were upon them, that the city was defence- less, an 1 appealing to every man who had any species of firearms, to rally to the defence of the place. He says that these appeaie had but tittle effect, and there seemed to be little, it any, system about anything that looked like resist- ance. During the confusion:he made good Lis escape to Munfordaville. RE OPENING TRADE. -It is regarded as probable that as soon as the rebel armies are beaten out of Tennessee, the order of Mr. Chase, preventing the ex- portation of provisions, medicines, and the like into the South, will be rescind- ed, so far as Tennessee is concerned, and that the whole conntry will again be open to commercial transactions.- As it is possible to draw supplies of cotton and tobacco from at least one- half of the South by way of Tennessee, the opening of trade in this quarter would soon produce a marked effect up- on the general industry of the country. A million of hales of cotton could easily be gathered by inland commerce from the South, and this amount furnished to our factories would again set them go• ing. with a portion to spare for the English market. With a blockade on the coast and an active internal com• merce. the North will he benefitted in every way, first, by the carriage of cot. ton, tobacco, hemp, and other southern products through the country, and their ranspoltation to Europe; and second, •ry the sale of goods to such of the ontbern States as aro thus reopened, which are now in great need of them. of daring, is strangled in the house of its friend.. Captain Sully tray be nn ex- cellent ( Meer, he may pass a military examination of the most rigid character, Le may even secure the approbation and respect of his fellow offic re, but after all the Regiment might do its duty better if it was alone for the Lonor of Minne- sota and the General Government. GEN. SCOTT 1MIIIeISTER ERTRAOrDI• NARY TO MExtco.-The telegraph an- nounces that Washington's birthday was chosen for the nomination in the Senate of General Winfield Scutt, as Minister Extraordinary to Mexico, with, it is said, functions such as he exercised in the pac- ification of the Northeastern Boundary question. With the nomination of Scott a project ler a treaty went into the Senate, whose principal feature was substantially the assumption of the Mexicnn debt and the interest on the amount to three:million dollars a year. The tieety guarrantces our payment of it for five years. It is thought that General Scott's nom• ination would be confirmed by the Sen. ate, particularly if his functions should be iiinited to the pacification of the armed quarrel conspired against Mexico at a moment when we could not defend the Monroe doctrine and go to her help. But it is very doubtful if the Senate will favor the scheme of bu) ing orf England, France or Spain for five years or for life. C7'It having been stated that the death of Ilon. Wm. Pennington sons caused by the administration of morphine given him under the supposition that it was quinine, Mr. Chas. \V. Badger, the apothecary of whom the medicine was purchased, has published a card in which lie denies the fact. IIe admits that his clerk, wile had been in his employ for five years, put up the morphine by neis. take for qii u'ne, but says that all hopes for Mr Pennington's recovery were given up hours before the taking of the medi- cine. Si The Washington Star learns from a gentiernan who carne direct trom Roanoke Island that Colon 1 Russell, of the Tenth Connecticut Regiment, fell dead from his horse et the head of his regiment, while marching against the en. erns.

Corbin, operator, moneylender, and general political intriguanto. Safe from all harm, these selfish omen will never venture to return to the United States. -General Grant has issued an or- der that the bo•'ies of all the troops killed at the battle at Fort Donelson shall be sent to their homes for inter- ment 'Phis humane order on the part of the Commanding General will be a source intense gratification to the rela- tives and friends of our deceased sol- diers, who conducted themselves so gal- lantly. et?rA tispatch to the New York Times says the Grand Army of the Po toinac is about to snake an important movement, which means that the ene- my will be attacked. Au immense pressure is being brought to bear on JlcClellan, and tho vilest insinuations made against him because of the appa- rent inaction of the arney; but it is be lieved that nothing will induce him to novo until his plans demand a move- ment of his immediate command• In the awful responsibilities that press up- on him, he should have the generous confidence of the whole country, Since he assumed the chief command, no im- portant mistake has been made, and we believe that if he is allowed to work out his plans, he will justify all the hopes that aro centered in him. &f'Jeff. Davis was inaugurated Pres ident of the Southern Confederacy, for a terns of six years, on the 22d inst., and a returned prisoner says that no enthu siasm was manifested, and scarcely a cheer raised for him. This is not sur- prising, in view of the recent Union vic- tories, and the fact that the rebels had received news of the fall of Nashville, that we are sorry to say is not confirm- ed. tg-The London 'l'imes says that the release of Mason and Slidell and their two Secretaries, cost the British Gov- ernment (in its preparations for hostili- ties, we pro.,unie) L1,000,000 apiece, or in all about 820,000,000. No won- der that the people of England are somewhat dissatisfied with their bargain and disposal to believe that they have paid too dearly for their whistle. AMA dispatch from Indianapolis, dated the 23d, says that 5,000 of tho Fort Donelson prisoners arrived there. They are the hardest looking men that ever were collected together -uniform- ed in rage of all colors, and carpets for blanket). The privates assert that se- cession is gone op, and that they are better treated and fed here than they have been for the past six months .- Most of tho men were anxious to take the oath of allegiance. Throe of their surgeons have been paroled to attend to their sick, which are becotning quite numerous. The officers are not uni- formed, and don't look much superior to the privates. The prisoners are com- posed of the 4th and 13th Mississippi, 8th Kentucky, and 4th Alabama. i 'The rush of the humane and loyal citizens hose all parts of the West to the relief of the wounded at Fort Donelson was wonderful. At Cairo, General Cullum commenced receiving dispatches from town after tots, city after city, State after State, of the com- ing delegations until he exclaimed that he would be more pnzzled what to do with the nurses than with the wounded. Tho train from Centralia on that flight consisted of over forty cars densely packed, and ran into Cairo six hours behind time. Here and there were anx- ious relatives, but the majority were volunteers in the cause of the country and its brave and victorious soldiers. CONVERSION OF THE REPUBLIC OF MEx- 100 INTO A MONARCHY. -The Morning Post (snppoed organ of Palmerston) says that it has now been determined, with the assent of Great Britain, by the Courts of Paris and Madrid, that their armies shall march direct from Vera Cruz to the Capital of Mexico, and there suppress the existing Execntive. England will limit her active military co-operation to the presence of a pow- erful squadron in the Gulf of Mexico, and gar, ironing the port of San Juan d'Ullt,a with a force of seven hundred marines during the healthy season on that coast. This force, when the season grows unhealthy, ie to be replaced by acclimatized Cuban•troops. The Post adds: We believe that it is a probalo result of this march of the Lilies ori Mexico that that unhappy and distracted re- public will re appear to the world es a constitutiional monarchy, and that the Archduke Maximilian, brother of Fran- cis Joseph, Emperor of Austria, will assume the title of King of .11exico.- It will bo impossible, if funds necessa- ry to maintain an army occupation in support of the new government are pro- vided, until it will have derived suffi- cient stability to stand alone. The Mex. jeans have tried a republic and it has sunk away under a succession of atro- cious military tyrannies. They are be. lieved to be convinced that a monarchy will give them order, and that a consti- tutional monarchy will insure the only freedom they can possibly maintain. t4rIn the United States Senate on the 13th inst., Mr. Morrill made a re- port to accompany bill No. 108, of which the following is a part: The bill provides for the emancipa- tion of slaves in the District of Colum- bia, with just compensation to loyal masters. Slavery is tolerated at the Capitol of no other civilized nation. It is respectfully submitted that it is unbecoming the freest government on earth longer to allow the practice of it here. Tho continuant° of a custom offen- sive to the moral sense, at the common residence of the diplomacy of the Chris- tian nations as well as the annual resort of the Representatives of the people, partakes of the quality of a public in- iecorum. Its repugnance to the senti- ments of most of those who officially assemble hero ia, of itself, deemed ade- quate grouted for its discontinuance. t That notorious traitor, John C. Breckinridge, late Vico President of the United States, is a candidate for a seat in the Confederate Congress. IIe has published an address to the people of Kentucky, announcing his candida- cy, in which ho "defines his position" thug: "I am utterly opposed to a recon- struction of the old government, or any measure which in the remotest degree tends in that direction. For one, I shall never consent that peace shall be made until the very last of alt the ene- lnies of our liberties shall be driven, not only from our hallowed soil, but from every foot of territory which, by its geogral hical position, naturally be- longs to the South. CAPTURE OF A 1R1T1sH STEAMER. NEW YORK, Feb. 25. -By the Con- stitution, from Ship Island, we learn ti at the British steamer Lebancn, while being loaded with cotton from a steam- er with a rebel flag, lying on the Rio Grande river, was taken a prize by the sloop of tear Portsmouth. She had about half a cargo of cotton on board, and had previously landed a cargo of blankets and ordananco steres at Mata- moros. The British captain is pritoner on the Portsmouth. and the steamer will soon be sent North for adjucation. It is claimed that the vessel was in Mexican waters. Her cargo will not be touched. Agf-By virtue of an act of Congress an order was issued on the 25th em- powering the President to take military possession of all the telegraph lines in the United States, from and after the 26th inst. t- We suppose the bloviating boast so rife in secessia a few months ago, that "one Southern soldier could whip three, four, or five Northerners in the field," is now silenced. Even Northern men gave the chivalry credit for soldierly qualities, above the avers age; but thus far in war the pretentious fire eaters have shown- uo such soperi- crity. LATEST NEWS. ORDER OF GEE. HALLECK Sr. Loom, Feb. 23. -The following general order will be published to- morrow: HEAD QRS. DEPT MISSOURI, ST. Louts, Feb. 22, 1862. The Major General commanding this Department desires to impress upon all afficers the importance of the pres- ervation of good order end discipline among their troops in the armies of the West, advancing into Tennessee and other southern State,. Let us show our fellow citizens of those States that we came merely to crush out rebellion and restore them peace and the benefits of the Constitu- tion and the Union, of which they have been deprived by selfish and un- principled leaders. They have been told that we came to oppress and plunder. By our acts we will undeceive them. We will show them that we come to restore and not to violate the Constitu- tion and Laws. Under the flag of the Union we will assure thorn that they shall enjoy, under its folds, the same protection of life and property as in former days. Soldiers! Let no excess on your part tarnish the glory of our arms. Order, heretofore issued in this De- partment in regard to pillaging, mar- auding and destruction of private prop• erty and stealing, and concealment of slaves, must be strictly enforced. It does not belong to the military to decide upon the relation of master and slave. Such questions must be settled by civil courts. No fugitive slate will therefore be admitted within our lines or camps, except when expressly or- dered by the General Commanding. Women and children, merchants, farmers, mechanics and all persons not in arms are regarded as norecontestants and are not to be molested either in their persons or property. If, however, they aid and assist the enemy they become belligerents, and will be treated as such. If they vie - late the laws of war they will be made to suffer the penalties of such viola- tion. Military stores or public property of the euemy must be surrendered, and any attempt to conceal euch property by fraudulent transfers or otherwise, will be punished, but no pirate prop- erty will be touched unless by order of the General commanding. Whenever it becomes necessary to levy forced contributions for the sup- plies and sustenance of our troops, such levies will be made as light as possible and be so distributed as to produce no distress among the people. All prof erty so taken must be receipted and duly accounted for, as beretofote directed. These orders will be road at the head of every regiment, and all officers are commanded to strictly enforce them. 13y commd of 1IAJen. GEN. HALLECK, N. H. 11OLEAN, Ass't Maj. Gen.

At the same time I require all mili- tary stores and army equipments shall be enrrondered, no part of them being withheld or destroyed, and further that no secession lugs or manifesta tions of secession feeling shall be ex- hibited, and for the faithful observance of these conditions, I shall hold the authoiities of the city responsible.

A RECONNOISSANCE. Culm.tro, Feb. 24. --An expedition composed of four iron clad gunboats, two mortar boats, the 27th Illinois and a battailion of the 8th Wisconsin. made a reconnoiseanco down the river this morning. It was ascertained that the rebels had seized all the flat boats and skiffs as far up as they dared come; also that there had been a movement of troops at Co• lumbus, but whether reinforcement., had arrived it was not learned. Gun and mortar boats were getting in position on the Missouri side, when a rebel steamer with a white flag mado its appearance. The rebel officers came on boaad the Cincincati and a consulta- tion took place lasting over two hours, with what result had not been made known, but the expedition returned. GEE.

The following articles are copied from the University Oasis, a paper ublished by the students of the Min, enesota Central Univerai y: SALUTATORY. In making our first appearance before the public we are bet too conscious how awkward our salutation will be deemed by the editorial fraternity. We have no conception at all of what the "Editor's Easy Chair," means. To us it is hard, too straight, too high, too larc.;:e But outs is new. This is its lost trial. - When we nre accustomed to it. we may be able to nmke our labors more useful to others as well as more agreeable to our- selves. Reader, though we meet as strangers, not as strangers may we part. Hereaf- ter '.et us be friends with kindly feeling,is each for the other, claming -It we are inex- perienced in most of life's duties, and are not so staid in some things as we ought to be. We are full to the brim of hopes, and dreams, and ambitions. We m.k you to judge our eflin t, not from your present stand point, but from the remen:..1 Inances of yeur earlier years.

Schoolmates, when scattered far and wide over the earth, as our eye restS up- on this little sheet, the person, as well AS Ille authors of these articles will spring again into our minds. They will take their places with us once more in their class, at their desks and upon the play- ground. We will renew our lives; we will live over again the sweet years of our youtbtime. All our young pastime haunts arid school day associations shall be leproduceI with the countenances and I instructions of our teachers. '1'0 us the Oasis will be a source of ptide and pleasure, though it should be passed by indifferently by all the world besi.le. MINNESOTAtEkTnAL The iliriasota,Oentral" University was founded by an ,act ;of the Legishltare, March '-4t1i, 1854. ,The design of the founders of tile liratitution was to make it itt rifirespects-a4tZlilseschi761, whert3 young „run and i.orrien-traight obtain an education ar accoMplished as le to be found in colleges..east wag.. it was intended to meet the educational wanth of all classes in the State, so that the necessity .should not exist for sending abroad for a thorough High School train- ing. Along with every other "interest the University began to feel the fnrce of bard times during the monetary trouble& of 1857, and ultimately became consid- erably incUmbered. Recently, however, by a subscription of 81,400 by the citi- zens of Hastings, and by -pledges from other sources, sufficient has'been seeured gradually to liquidate the debt, nnd give a good title. The rleed will be in the name of the Trustees of the Baptist Church of this place; The Cintrch pro. poses to offer the building to the State Convention at its next session. The Normal end .Academic depart- ments have already been opened. Ir. It.two terms the school has grown from 26 to 85 scholars. Nearly all these are young ladies and gentlemen, well advan- ced in the various departments of study. Classes in the Languages, Higher Math- ematics, and Natural Sciences, AS well as in Common Settee! Studies, have been in (rimier] during the winter, and all have made very fine progress. The discipline of the school will be kind andpaternal, hut at the same Hine firm ard decided in the enforcement of the rules. The deportment of pupils will be as carefully attended to as accu- racy of recitation. Moral influence which, after all, is the secret of god order, as well as the only pure fountain of good breeding and gentility, will, A!, far as possible, be made the ruling prin ciple in t lie heart of every papil. How- ever, we shall not hesitate to dismiss from stohnes. school persistently disobedient per - Scholars need all the powers of the mind in is clear and vigorous condition, if they would make real progress in knouledge and self-discipline. Richard must be himself, if he weuld study. - Dissipated evenings with late and excit- ing night entertainments impair the too al clearness andvivacity of the mentnl powers. A scholar, given to these, is any thing but himself fie cannot keep up w ith his class. Ile will inevitably fall behind, lose interest in his studies and become a drone. Moreover, the in- jury winch they inflict upon otheis is.as manifest as that done to thetu.selves.- They are 1 ot a desirable element in a school. Three Teachers are now fully occupied in the rations Common and High school departments. More will be added to the Board of Instruction as fast as the grow- ing interests -of the school shall demand. None but persona of triel experience, comprehensive culture and unexception- able moral character will be employed in any of the departments. If the citizens of this community will co-operate with the Trustees and Teach- ers in their plans and labors, they will spare no pains in making the Universi y an institution of the very first order a place where sound learning, thorough discipline shall be cultivated, and where the hearts of pupils shall be filled with well defined and,wholesome principles of morality. Persons wishing to know more about the school can make application to the Plincipal who will most cheerfully imn. part any information which may be de- sired. .o UNIVERSITY LIBRARY. LIBRARY. A small Library for the University has already been accumulated, and will soon bo organized so far as to permit the loaning'of books. For several:years past the National Government has been sending us Reports, Surveys, Congres- sional Documents and other volumes, which will be useful as works of refer- ence. Besides these, the students ot the present session have. very gene- rously, donated numerous volumes from their own private libraries. They have likewise subscribed most liberally in cash for the purchw of new books. -- The citizens of the place, moreover, have kindly given their aid in support of the enterprise. Thus, with a little effort on the part of good friends, we have already a library of one hundred volumes, coesisting of choice hooks of a Biographical, Historical, Scientific, Literary, Corgression al and Miscella- neous character, to offer to the students of the University, as an additional means of improvement If this meets the eye • of any friends of education who have books to spare or money to subscribe, by sending eith- t er to the University, they will confer a favor which will be appreciated tnany long years by ns as well as by the youth of the State who shall visit our place for educational purposes. The Principal of the School will give his personal supervision to the Library that the books shall not be itnproperly drawn and scattered. EXAMINATION. The examination ot the classes in the University will take place Thursday and Friday, March 27th and 28111. We hope to see present and acting oflicially all the Examining Committee appointed by the State Convention at its session at Owa- tonna. We invite also every patron and friend of education, as far as possible, to be present. CONUNDRUMS. Why is Minnesota Central University likely to be a permanent institution? Because it is founded upon and is con- ducted by thick stones (Thickstuns.) Why are some of our lady pupils like birds? Because they more by the aid of air (Eyre.) Why may it be inferred that certain young men in town belong to the sport- ing frateruity ? Because they like the Chase. hy is our helml a capital placr for old bnehelors? Because their Coats can be Patch ed by our g'a !liar free of charee. NEXT TERM. The next, or Summer Term of the ti ill hegin Wednesdny, Aprit l6th, and continue eleven weeks. The 1,8 Die Icachels, and the same general Ilan e ill be continued, that has presided in the k-choul during the past fall and winter. A TOUCHING STORY. BY LIBIADE E. ATHERTON. It was a beautiful afternoon, the sun was gradually sinking in the western hor- izon; the wind played through the trees, and raised the leaves gracefully from their recumbent position. A few white clouds were seen gaily sailing along the sky. A young lady was reclining on a sofa in the city of New Yolk; but a frown on her face plainly bespoke unhap- piness; her dark eye wandered over the tidily furnished room, but nothing could turn her attention from the distressing thoughts that filled her mind. She is wealthy, has every thing for which she wishes. What then, should mar her hap- piness? She yawned luxuriously, and hurriedly paced the room in great agita- tion. She paused and loAed out of the window, but saw nothing to arrest her attention. The door shawly opened and a middle aged ladv entered the room. "Oh mamma," the young lady ex- claimed, with a violent burst of tears "I did not have any -soup for dinner." PASSING MOMENTS. --What are they? How many children spend them in idle ness and play, when they onght to he studyieg, and if their parents send them on an errand, stop to play by the way. We all, ought to improve each moment as it flies One by one our moments pm away, and may we improve tbein as they pass, for they never will retnrn again -Anna Love and honor your teaalier.- Clem- entin a Ire adward.

The first gtrn tried was similar to those used in the Revolletion, except that it had a large touch -hole, and the carriage was painted groan instead of blue.

A midshionian did say that he thought the bali robot have ruif out of tho touch•hole when they loaded tip— for which he was instantly expelled from tho service.

Such as ,person never comes in or goes out in quiet, noiseless way; tiro slamming of the doors rattles every window pane in the house, and whether it is broad day- light or in the sedition of tho night it is all one to him. The disturbed hoarder or inmate cf the house is forced to con- tent himself with the thous,rht, that the roof of the dwelling still remains, and enough of the foundation to enable bile to leave. This class of people do not put things in their proper places. Their memory is tried to remember where any thing has been put.

It was on one of thoee clear cold nights in January 1900 that I landed at Hastings fro:n Wiard's Ice•Car to take tlie railroad train for the east; there to take the Airsear for Europe. I met some old acquaintances whom I Lad known when .1 -Listings hal a population of only some 11500 souls (now number• ing half a !Milton) who invited nie to the great Mammoth Hall, the largest in the Western woild, where we round la- dies and geutlemen, from the richest to the poorest.

BT Etta, S. 31. L. TRICESTON. -- Why watch Lite lone, lone deep, As the winds acrose it sveeep? And the waves, like mountains high, Rise and kiss the weeping sky? When gloomy night appears, To bide the falling tears? When cloud and ocean weep. Why watch the lone, Ione deep? Why watch the lone, lonedeep, As its wases in beauty sleep And m splendor rnirror bright The moon with her silver light? When it sweetly stniles. and seems A living thing which dreams? When the stars their vigils keep, Why watch the the lone, lone deep? Why watch the lone, lone deep, As its billows madly leap? And te:s their foam on high, In tha lace of an angry sky? 05 hen the ships that proudly sail, Are sunk by the rising gale? When the dea h angel coniea to reap. - Why watch the lone, lone deep? I watch the Inc. lone deep With its rocky shore so steep, For its boundless billow'e roll Wakes an echo in my sout, he And twinds that howl and groan Have a wild enchanting tone, As my gloomy stand 1 keep, When I watch the lone, lone deep watch the lone, Ione deep For the glorious things which sleep, The loved -though lost and dead - In that quiet ocean bed; Each day to me they roire From a highes holier home, And I sigh but cannot weep, At I watch the lone, lone deep.

The dif- ferent directions of papers aro some- times amusing. Ladies will c:nne in and hand you the delicate little letteis, wrong side up, for fear you will see to whom it is directed, just as though you tumbled it into a mail bag, and that was the last of it. There are a great many funny directions on letters. Tho following are a few of the many I have noticed: The first: "To the State ot Conn. thia letter must go, To the P. 0. et Colebrook, Litchfield Co. you know, And when it gets there it is ve6etsy to say, That Samuel T. Smith will take it away. The next one was: "To John Barry, if living, but if not. to his wife, or some one of tho children, if living; and if not to some respectable neighbor, in Dalton. N. U." Another was: "Good mornieg, Mr. Poatman, ,you see I am looking pale, It is n11 from fear of joutneying in Uncle Samuel's mail; But 1. P Jones, wished me to COMIC dOWD to Baltimore-- Down in Maryland -you've heard the name before; To box clever' huncized and seventy.one Igo, So stamp we very lightly, I an ao lull of love you know." The above is fair stye:men of what ono sees in a Post Offiee. Oth- ers just as geed are daily passing through the office, but nothing but a glance can be taken of them, because we are so hay at the time. Before I close this short story, I must repeat the directions which I saw on another letter. It was as follows: "To Miss E. B. Mason, this letter is sent, To be read by herself, it is only meant; In Lowell, Mass. she leads a gay life, Where Yankees make nutmegs and hams with knife." SPRING IN MINNESOTA, BY L. J. ETRE. This subject seems to be in advance of the season, yet, on this account, is not the less enchentirg, for in Minne• sota, Spring iu prospect, is a "horse of quite another color" to Spring in pos. session. In prospect, we aro charmed with the gny plumage end sweet songs of birds -the splendid variety and de - another on the removal of the Capitol I licions fragrance of prairie flowers - the limpid streams, apaikling and glancing at intervals through the young trees, etc. This is the .'sunny side' of the picture. But e hat says the shady, the possessive side? "Look out for squalls," outside the !muse and in! It is May -day -the air is chill and frosty -that bran new "spring -rigging" got up expressly for the Pic-nic, alas, cannot be worn! The despised winter garments laid by in contempt, like old friends in adversity, are gladly sought and cherished once more. Those early seeds,.put in the ground that ruild day, and but yesterday sprouting, so full of promise, so beautifillly green, what aro they now'? Ala.! one black streak of frostbitten hopes! Thou crest fallen vegitable and animal life. The feathered songsters droop their wings, and seek once tnore their winter hiding places. The very cat looks as melan. cholly as if the last mouse were caught, or the last cream skimmed from the tnilk-pans; and the dog, poor fellow! whines on the wrong side of the door, looking as mean, as meek as a Sacesh traitor, with hemp in view. Spring in prospect, reminds us of some of those MississIppi valley cities. In the distance, delightful! perfect daguerreo- types of Paradise!

I think I never fully appro. elated the value of the little county pa- per -before; (now don't get insulted if I call your paper little, fur this is intend- ed to be applied generally. I am speak- ing of the phyeica/ and not the intellect- ual part of it), or understood why its influence was BO potent for good or evil in the community whore it is pub- lished. * * * * Say what you please about the respon sibility of our military leaders, the ie mightier than the sword," and is toeday wielding a far greater influ- ence upon the destinies of the Nations of the world. What an immense re- sponsibility is just now resting upon the shoulders of' the "educators of the masses!" Do you feel your kroportion .of itt The most prominent feature of Mary- land in general and Camp Stone in particular, at this writing, is mud. It is predominent on the parade ground, and in the roads, and tents, and even our soup has a yellow, muddy appear- ance, not unlike the highly picture...1m, eeenery that every where greets the eye and—feet. Oh ! this Maryland (one of the States in our galaxy of 34) is de - delightfully pleasant "section of coun- try"—that is, if a ',arson is in the hab- it of making reckless assertions, and not at all particular about their cher- acter for truth and veracity. The de- sign for the coat of artns for this State should be a large rand hole in the fore- ground with the Goddess of Liberty stuck fast, and a back ground of damp yellow clay, with the mottoe. "Invade end you sink." I have found out, how- ever, that Maryland ie good for some- thing. The soil is first rate for—mulc iny brick. Doubtless an advance into Virginia from this and other points wonld long since have been made, had it not been for the impassable state of the roads, precluding the possibility of a move, with any prospect of success. But while wo on the Potomac have been condemned to 'masterly inactivity' the Western troops have boon humor- talizing themselves, covering themselves with glory ''to with a mantle," and re- storing the prestige of the old flag, that was disgraced and humbled at Sumter and Ball Run and Ball's Bluff. But we won't quarrel with them if they whip the scoundrels every time, for when this confounded mud disappears it is our intention to hold a. 'lone band' (to use a phrase popular in the South) play it under the direction of Provi- dence, and try hard to make four times just now hear the national salute of 34 guns booming forth at Poolosville, and think it mast bo the rumors of the capture of Fort Donelson are con- firmed. Stone has been sent to Fort Lafayette to await his trial for "high crimes and misdeirwanr}rs." This arrest gives gen• eral satisfaction to the officers and men 0', lo composed his division. Ile has not possessed the confidence of his command since the Bell's Bluff and Edward's Ferry affair. I learn that Brig. Gen. Sedgewick, formerly in Hein sleman's division, has been assigned to command us. Report speaks well of the qualifications of Gen. Sedgewick, and it is to be hoped he will prove himself worthy of the confidence repos ed in him. Gen. Gorman has been in command of the division siuce the arrest of Stone and has not been so tender of Rebel Batteries or so sparing of ammunition as Stone. Every day wo hear the re- ports of our "22 pound Parrots" at Edward's Ferry, and it is perceived that labor on the earth works across the riv• er has been indefinitely suspended. The news of the confirmation of Col. Dana as a Brigadier General of Volun tears, was received in Uamp with cheers and shouts of congratulation, showing how firm a hold the General had upon the affections of the men. A magnifi- cent Saddle, with pistols, holsters and bridle to match has been purchased by the non•commissionod officers and men of the regiment, as a testimonial of their appreciation of his worth as a man and an officer. It was at first intended that officers and mon should unite in show- ing their respect for the General, but a Lieutenant refused to place his name on the subscription paper with a private.— Comment is unnacossary. The clothing received by onr regi- ment from the State, J learn that wo will have to pay for, notwithstanding its inferior quality. This will take ale most two months pay from a majority of the men in the regiment, which they can ill afford to loose at this time.— Would'nt the complimentary resolu- tions of the Legislature look more con- eistent after passing a bill to relieve the soldiers of the heavy burden placed up on their shoulders by corrupt and ava- ricious contractors and sanctioned by the State administration, jackals, who are daily "feasting on the sweat of the poor and the blood of the brave." I am gratified to observe the honest, consistent course of our Senator from Dakota, Mr. Nash. If he is not an hon- est man, I am greatly deceived in my estimate of humanity, and I have known Mr. Nash intimately dome two or three years. The people can trust him. Lieut. Searles, ((amilliary known in Hastings as "Jap") has entered upon the diechargo of his duties. He gives gemiral satiefaotioo, and is deservedly 01:lielar with the Comimsy, Lient.-Col. Miller has returned to the THE REBEL GOVERNMENT, regiment after a protracted Meese, and is now diecharing the duties of Colonel in his naual honest, straightforward manner. The prevailing wish is, as Dana moat leave es, for Miller to re-, main and command us. Tbe "Q. D." is in a flourishing con- dition, and are fast bringing things to a focus.

But the true Eureka of health and plenty was not found until the fertile prairie, with its summer robes of green, yellow, scarlet, and crimson, the placid waters of the transparent lakes, with inirrored loveli- ness of rock and tree and flower, and above all the calm, blue, nrch, with its tnillons of stars buret lire; my vision in the vicinity of Lakeville. Here the "Horn of Plenty" seems to have been reversed, and its treasures equandered with a predigal hand. But instead of confining myself to the native loveliness of the primeval day, before the plow had perforatild the virgin soil, or even relentless man had robbed it of its primitive beauties, and planted the golden goain, I mu.t come at once to the less beautiful but more material eubject, the village of Lakeville i tself. About five years ago, a few families located here, and imbibed the idea or the inflation of the times, that Lieteville, in common with her sister towns, was to be the acadia where mighty masses of people would flock. The hard times of 1857 found ua with mora exalted conceptions of our present and future importance, and although not deadly in its effects it paralyzed our energies, from welch paralysis ire are now just recovering. Faint evidences of returning pros- perity are visible; the music of the blacksmith's hammer, as he whistles over his anvil, rings out the notes of "Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes, An empty pocket is the worst of crimes.' Nor are the carpenters idle, but but like magic the old trees that grace the forest soon feel the tooth of the sa w, and assuming shape under the machin- atious of the mechanic, soon stand the habitations of man. The carriage -mak- er wheels with the improvement of thetimos, times, whilethe shoemaker, true to the last, gives his awl to the best under- standing of an appreciative public.— The old sign of the public house creaks its welcome to the traveler, as if moan- ing its fate that it has to stand outside while the cheer is so good within. Tho merchant displays bis tempting goods to the fair ladies with such address as to make the invocation of their tnorn- ing devotions, "leads us not into tempt- ation," doubly significant. All in all, we think we have a wide-awake, go- ahead -s tive little toan, intelligent and enterprising people, while our ladies, "God bless them," aro as pretty and blushing as the flowers of their adopt- ed prairie homes. All this, boo, on the borders of civil- ization—within Iwo hours walk of the majestic forest, where the wild deer rears its yonng; and the wolf howls its wild notes to -its -mate. With this de- scription I need not say that cntlete of venison, and roasted prairie chickens are a delicacy that often grace our table.

Bat the governmeot at Washington, denying our right to self-government, refused even to listen to any proposals for a peaceful @operation. Nothing was then left as but to prepare for war. The first year in our history has been the moat eventful in the annals of this continent. A new government has been established, and its machinery put in operation over an area exceeding seven hundred thousand square miles. The momentous principles upon which we have been willing to hazard every- thing that is dear to man have made conquests for us which could never have been achieved by the sword. -- Our confederacy has grown from six to thirteen states; and Maryland, already united to ns by bellowed mammies and material interests, will, I believe, when able to speak :with unsatisfied voiee, connect her destiny with the South.— Oar people have rallied with unexam- pled unanimity to the support of the great principles of constitutional go.ernmene, with firm resolve to perpetu- ate by arms the rights which they could not peaceably secure. A mil- lion of men, it is estimated, are now standing in hostile array and waging war along a -frontier of thousands of miles. Battles have been fought. pledge a zealous devotion of every stiheogtels have been conducted, and al- feculty to tho service of those who gh the contest is not ended, and have chosen no us their Chief Magis- ttiroanNteN, ;(hliernaectetionngcoot to the general wel- me° of class legisla- fitro, but to the aggrandizement uf the Northern section of the the Union, culminated in a warfare on the domes,. tic institutions of the Seuthern States — when the dogtnas of a sectional pare ti', substituted fur the provisions of the constitutional compact, tlireetened to destroy the sovereign rights of the States, six of those 8taten, withdraw- ing from the Union, confederated to- gether to exercise the right and perform the duty of instituting a gevernment which would better erica e the liberties fur the preset eation of which that Un. ion was established. Whatever of Napes some may have entertained that a returning sense of justice would remove the danger wit,t which our rights were threatened, and render it possible to prosetho Union of the Constitution, must have been dispelled by the malignity and barbar- ity of the northern states in the pros- ecution of the existing war. The con- fidence of the most hopeful amoug us n1ti4 have been destroyed by the diares wird they recently exhibited for all the time-honored bulwark.; of civil and re- ligious liberty. Bestiles filled with pris- oners, arrested without civil process or indictment duly found; the writ of habeas corpus suspended by Executive mandate; a State Legislature controlled by the imprisonment of 'timbers whose avowed principles suggested to the Federal Executive that there might be another added to the list of seceded States; elections held under threats of a military power; civil officers, peace- ful citizens and geutlewomen incarce- rated for opinion's sake, proclaimed the incapacity of onr late associates to administer a government as free, liberal and humane as that established for our common use. For proof of the sincerity of our purpose to maintain our ancient insti- tutions, we may point to tho constitue tion of the Confederacy and the laws enacted under it, as well as to the fact that through all the necessities of an unequal struggle there, has been no act on our part to impar personal lib- erty or the freedom of epeech, of theught, or of the press. Tho eourts have been open, the judicial functions fully executed, and every right of tho peaceful citizens maintained as securely as if a war of invasion had not die, turbed the lind. The ries)! of the states now confed- erated became convinced that the gov- ernment of the lieited States had Wien into the land of a sectional majority. who would pervert that most sated of all trusts lo the dye -ruction of the rights which it was pledged to protect. They believed that to remain longer in the Union would auhject them to' con- tinuance of a disparaging discrimina. tion, submission to which would be in. consistent.with OAP welfare, and in. tolerable to a proud people. They therefore determined te sever ha_ ,boade and establish a new .c9fiftleracy for thernselves. tho tide for the moment is against us, the final result in our favor is not doubtful. Tho period is near at hand when our foes must sink under the immense load of debt which they have incurred, a debt which, in their effort to subjugate its, has already attained such fearful dimensions as will subject them to burthene which must continue to O. press them for generations to come. We, too, have had our trials and difficulties. That wo aro to escape them In future is not to bo hoped. It was to be expected when we entered upon this war that it wonld expose our people to sacrifices and cost them much, both of money and blond. But wo knew the value of the objects for which we struggled, and understood the nature of the war in which we were engaged. Nothing could bo RO bad as gilure, and any sacrifice would be cheap as the price of succors in such a contest. But the picture has its lights as well as its shadows. This great strife has awakened in the people the highest etnotions and qualities of the human soul. It is cultivating feelings of pat- riotism, virtue and courage. Inatancee of self sacrifice and of generous devo- tion to the noble cause for which we are contending are rife throughout the laud. Never has a people evinced a more de- termined spirit than that now anima- ting men, women and children in every part of our country. Upon the first call the men fly to arms; and wives and mothers send their husbands and sons to battle wtthout a murmur of re- gret. It was, perhaps, in the ordination of Providence that we were to be taught the value of our liberties by the price which we pay for them. Tho recollections of thie great con- test, with all its common traditions of glory, of sacrifice and blood, will be the bond of harmony and enduring affec- eion amongst the people, producing unity in policy, fraternity in sentiment and joint effort in war. Nor have tbe material sacrifices of the past year been made without some corresponding benefits. If the acqui- esesence of foreign nations in a preten- ded blockade has deprived us of onr commerce among them, it is fast mak- ing us a self-supporting and independ- ent people. Tho blockade if effectual and permanent, could only serve to di- vert our industry from the production of articles for export, and employ it in supplying commodities for domestic 050. - It is a satisfaction that we have Maintained the war by onr unaided ex- ertions.

WASHINOTON, March 6.—A special dispatch says a reconnoitering party of the 63d Penusylvania, in Heintzel- man's division, was ambushed yester- office; its ultimate adoption is inevita- ble. And if a State ever needs it, that time is when she is young. Ono Leg- islator regards it as an ornamental office. Another thinks that because New York got along without it till quite recently, so can we. What else was urged in favor of the abolition of the office, does not appear upon the rubiic record. • The truth is, the office of State Su- perintendent, rightly performed, is one of the most laborious positions which a man could occupy in the service of the State. Carried ou as it ebould be, it will be no sinecure. A whole State is to be organized from materials the most heterogeneous into one harmoni- ous, self -consistent system. Each school public and private, is to fall into its own appropriate place in that educational system. Each school is to continuo to maintain from year to ye.sr its proper pla:e relatively to the growing interest - of the whole system. Eich new school as it springs into existence upon our unsettled border is to be moulded to this same system. Institutes are to be are to be held in all parts of the State. We need them equally in the middle, northern and northern tiers of counties. And they need to be under the general control of the same mind, that what- ever is done, may tend to make aa cue grand educational wh.sle. Wo ought to feel tueir awakening energies next spring, and again next fall. At the very least, twenty five live ln,titutee ought to be held in the course of a year from this date. If there is anything merely orna- mental in carrying forward labors such as these, 1 fail entirely to perceive it. New York in her earlier ye urs may indeed havo got along without the State Superintendency, but this consti- tutes no reason why we should abolish it. Now York, with every other first class educational State in the nation, knows neat the office is indispensable, and has acknowledged it by paying roundly for the services of the right man to fill this place. New York did without the office till recently because events had not demonstrated its value. Noah did without it for the same rea- son, so did the Wiunebagoes whose hunting grounds wo now ocsuppy.— Now, however, since its worth has been made evident by facts and figures with- out number, it would be idle, fool hardy for us to follow their empirical course. Wisdom teaches us to take the demon• strated truths of other States and make them our platform upon whlcn to build a complete and efficient school system, for our young but vigorous State. Let us not grope about in Egypt because the older Stater did, but Flet us wa k among our sisters of the Northwest, erect in our own greatness, and the light furnished us by half a century of experience in other portions of the Re- public.

But few particulars have yet transpired as Isis interview is not closod. The following items are reliable:— Capt. Radford was engaged on a court martial, and not on board the Cumber- land. Lieut. J. B. Smith, son of Commodore Smith, was on board the Congress, and is killed. Our loss in killed, drowned, wounded and missing is supposed to be 100. Lieut. Woolen who handled the Monitor so skillfully is here, and is in the hands of a sure goon. Ile was in the pilot house of the Monitor, when the Merrimac di- rected her whole broadside at it, and received his injuries from the minute fragments of shells and the powder which were driven through look out holes. Lieut. Worden was stunned by the concussion and was carried away. On recovering ” he asked, "have I saved the Minnesota?" The reply was, "Iles, and whipped the Merrimac!" to which he answered, "Then I don't care what becomes of me." His injuries are not supposed to be dangerous. The Minnesota was eventually got off and towed under the guns of Fort Monroe. The crew of the Congress is scatter - eel, and there are no means of ascer- taining her loss at present. The naval authorities and experts here are confident that the Merrimac is disabled, and that the Monitor is ade- quate to her in every respect. There is no longer any doubt that the rebels have evacuated Centreville, Winchester, and other important points, indicating a general falling back of their forces. The telegraph to Fort Monroe bas been fully occupied on government business all day, which has prevented the associated press dispatches coming. There bas been no change in the state of affairs at that point. FORTRESS MONROE, March 10.—With the assistance of the steamer Spaulding the Minnesota bas been got off, and she is now on her way hers.

HOW pleasant is the hour of medita- tion; when we muse in solitude flir away from the busy haunts of men, and recall to our minds the scenes of the past. The aged derive more Veasnre from memory their ourselves, for unlike us, who are in the full enjeymeut of youth and health, they are bowed down by the infirmities of age, and conseutrently look not forward to the future with our anticipations of some earthly pleasure, but only RS the closing scene in the dra- ma of their:existence; for they know their days are numbered, his race is well- nigh run. But he who now leans upon his staff, and whose hair is fast whitening for the grave, looka back with tender emotions on the scenes of his childhood. His ear is again greeted with the merry, ringing laugh of his companions. Then li that memory is his coolie' ter. The pleasures of memory ale often dimmed by sorrow; many of us have lost friends who are bound to our hearts by sacred ties, which aro often severed. 'I hen it Is that memory visits the grave of the departed, leave; the sigh of re- gret, and plants the weeping willows, that user the sleepers head it may spread its shady branClies, waving them mournful- ly and slowly, keepiug silent vigil over the de.ol. We picture to our minds the reflect- ions of the aged on the past, perhaps without ence thinking that ire too shall ono day he called to take their pieces on the adv-aticed stage of life. How important then, that we should improve our privileges now, in youth, that the memory of our early lives may be a solaco to us amid the cares and trial's which will perhaps gather around ua in our maturer years. EDUCATION. BY FRANK SLOCUM. We are all striving for an education, yet do we realize as we ougibt what it is? Those of us who have been deprived of school privileges heretofore value them more than those who have always enjoy- ed them. We are placed here by our parents, perhaps not without sacrifice on their part, and are expected to make good use of our present opportunities,__ Shall we disappoint them lry trifling with, theqr opportunities, or will we strive to do our duty! If we do prove recre. at to this, we shall not only cause them pain, perhaps dishonor, but the sin, for such it really is, will fall upon our own heads, when in future years we shall see the felly of our coarse. But then our achool Jays will be past and we will have to suffer the bitter con- sequences of our neglect. If on the oth- er hand we strive to do our duty, as we ought during our pupilage, it will not only be a pleasure to us then, but when we commence the active pursuits of life, we can reap the reward of our diligence. Then will our parents feel that the saeris fices made for us while young, were good investments. If we have a good educa, tiou and are honest and upright, though our purse may be lean, we shall find no trouble in getting employment. We can move in the society of the learned and intelligent and though our pursuits may be humble, we can find enjoyment in the works of na.ture around us. ‘Vithout an education we cannot expect to be of much benefit to our associates, but we shall merely drag out the days of exist- ence allotted to us, and when life is end- ed we shall sink into oblivion. School- mates, the contrast is spread out before us; we can see it among those around us. Then let us strive diligently and faith- fully to discharge all the obligations resting upon us. PRECIOUS MOMENTS. BY S. L. JOHNSON. How quick time flies, and yet, we take no note of time. The little mo- ments which pass by so carelessly and unheeded, are more precious than we imagine. What do we do with our precious moments? is a question that We all may answer. Do we improve all of them? or even a greater patt Do we make the best use of theiia we know how? It is feared not. So' many instances rush to the hnman mind, the mind capable of reflection and meditation. Instances at home, in the school room, they are numerous in every grade of society, frotn pease ants to aristocracy, and still higher, if we could follow this neglect. It seeme to be a part of human nature and only by hard anl pemevering labor can be conquered, and this labor must be vol- untary. Scholars very seldom value their time at what it is worth. Some go to school 28 if it were a day's work, and the sooner it is over the better - This is not the real value of time, and the scholar that thus idles his time when be ia set afloat or launched in the business world, it is then that he sees the value of those precious mo- ments. The moments are precious to ue, and in after life when we recall our school days, they undoubtedly will bring tears to our eyes when we re- member the advice of teachers who Id our welfare at heart, as well as their own. We will remember our teacher's advice, as if it was a mother's. So let us make the best use of our precious momenta, that we may look back with pleasure and say: "We have improved them." Make the most of everything. -Lilly Day. BY JosEruout sonirsox. Let me live in the West, Where the pure waters glide, And blooming in beauty The prairie so wide. Where roses and bluebells Spontaneously grow, And the modest white lily As pure as the snow, Here once the wild Indian In triumph did roan, And called these bread fields His own native home. Here he wooed his dark maid, In his youthful pride, And made her his own, His much cherished bride. Let me live in the West, 'Tis here I would stay, 1Yhere clouds seldom dim, The bright orb of day. Where nature decks the fields, Is gorgeolis array. In the land of true beauty, 0t lure let me stay. OUR SCHOOL, Br MIRANDA J. BUELL. Persons living at a distance from this place may not be aware that we have one of the best Seminaries of learning of which the State can boast. The Minnesota Central University un- der the charge of Prdfessor Thickstun and his amiable lady, and sister, will now bear comparison with any school in the older States. The system of study, the moral cul- ture displayed. renders the University an ornament to our place, and a benefit to all those who can have the advan- tage of patronizing what has low, becu needed in our city; an energetic, live school-oue where not only the mental, hitt the moral discipline of the Inind, is the great and absorbing study. Neatness in dress and person, perfect lessons knd strict deportment make up some of the every day lessons that all receive instruction in, and if there is one mind that is not benefitted in this wholesome and pure atmosphere of study; I pity that soul, -it is past as- sistance. Since the commencement of the School under Prof. T. there seems to have sprung up in the minds of many. a desire for impovement in those xvlio have heretofore been indifferent. - The affibility of Prof 'I'. and his per. fect system of imparting instruction have been so successful that the task of study is made cagy awl pleasant to the scholar. Tliongh the teachers may not meet with the reward they deserve now, the young minds metering under their care can never forget to thank and praise them for the great benefits ren - tiered. In closing, I will state that our School numbers about 85 scholars. A VISIT TO MINNEHAHA. BY GEORGE CRESSEY. Having heard so much of this beau- tiful and world-wide wonder of the land of "sky -tinted waters," as a matter of course, I hail a great desire to visit the laug,Iling Minnehalm, and on a fine morning in the mouth of June, I might have been seen, in company with a lady and gentleman, tourists frotn the South, starting from the Winslow House, in St:Antliony, to gratify my long stand- ing wiah. The morning was jest such a one as only Minnesotians know anything about, and the road was one of the beat and most pleasant in the State. After a de- !ightfal ride of about an hour, we came to the place which hae been so beauti- fully described by Longfellow. Approaching the Falls from St. An- thony, we cross the creek whose waters form the Falls, just above where they "laugh and leap into the valley below." A few yards beyond this you sud- denly come in full view of the fair Min- nie in all her natural beauty and lovli- ness; in her own fairy bower; with a rich lining of MOSS and varied flowers,, which add much to the beauty of the place. Leaving the carriage, I walked to the brink over which the waters pour with all their natural force. Near where I stood, there is a miniature 'table -rock' on which many .of the mcst daring vis. itors stand -but you would not believe me were I to tell you I -dui not. Hav- ing feasted my vision from this point, I prepared to go down below the Falls, which I did, and I will now tell what happened in my descent, in which I was rather frightened I admit. Starting down, in haste, I was caught by a projecting root and I went down part of that bill in a great burry, but a friendly rock (although it was not soft) prevented my Nailer descent: but - trouble not over -in my hasty come.. down, I had dislodged a large stone from under which there crawled a large snake which, I acknowledge, made me a lit- tle nervous. But seizing a stone, I put after him "double quick," and his snakeship beat a rather hasty retreat, and I was left again to my rather live- ly imagination. But at this moment, within a few yards of me, I saw anoth- er, much the larger of the two. (My opinion of Minnehaha at this moment, went down to zero.) Seizing a stone and with a hasty good bye to Mr. Snake 1, with all my might, let him have the rock -not failing to close my eyes and draw in my breath. The next I heard was a shriek, and what was worse, 'twas a woman's shriek. Opening my eyes rather quickly. I saw no snake, but just below me, in the vallq, were my two companions, having knit emerged from a mossy brush. But don't get nervous, for I killed neitlur woman nor snake, but came near botb. I need not tell you that the woman was rather snappish, but the roan, just the opposite. A partial settlement took place, and 1 was again the friend of the man, but I fear not of the woman. The man requested me to find out if be co'd go under the Palle. I went to Bee, and believe me, I went home a wet child - Opinion of Minnie reversed. • Never laugh at the ignorance or Ibis. takes of others.- Nettie Plumetead. rneviter veva rnorraTv!: • 'TO 1'1E'PEOPLE . .

THE EPFCTS OF PARDON.—In the garrison town of Woolwich, a few years ago, a soldier was about to be brought before the commanding officer of the regiment for some miedemeanor. The officer entering the soldier's name said: 'Here is — again. What can we do with him? Ile has gone through almost every ordeal.' The Sergeant Major, M.

'Forgiven!' said the Colonel; here is his case entered.' 'Yes, but the man is not yet before you, and you can cancel it' After the Colonel had reflected for a few minutes, he ordered the man to bo brought in, when he was asked what be had to say relative to the charges brought against him. 'Nothing, sir,' was the reply, "only I am sorry for what I have done.' After making some suitable remarks, the Colonel said, 'Well, we have re- solved to forgive you.'

EDITOR INDEPENDENT: I notice in the Conserver of the 20th +net., ander the head of "1Visconsiu Currency," y+ communication signed "D" who pro- fosses "not to be interested in the matter in the least " although the reader of the article will very readily come to the conclusion that •'at least" 'D' is quite anxious to assist in forcing the circula- tion of Wisconsin currency here, even though he may not be directly "interest- ed•'� „ •'D" asserts that the matter of again using this Currency seems to bo agita- ting the minds of our business men."- This is really the caro to a certain ex- tent, as there are parties, who it seems, aro determined to force the circulation of that Currency, and have,for the last Y'g three or four weeks, been paying it out. I have no doubt they are often much "agitated" by fnrinere, and others, tak- ing it back as soon as they discovered what had beenpaid them, or when our business men had refused the currency, Ido not propose to goed into any de- tailed argument of the subject but will content myself with the assertion of a few facts, which, in my humble agin- ion ought to be enough (though I may not be "posted" to the satisfaction of D) and will perhaps assist "D" in his pro P P' oEU" to "enli hten some who seam gare," to argue that there can be no pure met- al where there is any dross." We have ha,! at least ono "full bene Gt" 1° the way of Lassen by Wisconsin currency. When the best of it, the very Banks that are said to be so good now, could not be sold except at a loss of ten per cent, and yet these Banks were asgood then as now. Theywere secured dollar for dollar in Northern State bonds, and were owned bymen a "legitimate business." Tho best Wisconsin currencycan be used now, in New York, at ninety-five cants on the dollar, -or five per cent discount -with United States Treasury Notes � RS a basis, while the Eastern bills now in circulation here will not average one fourth of one per cent discount. In either case, persons wishing to remit Bank Notes would have the Express charges to pay amounting to about half of one per cent. It is true that at this time through the medium of Exchange, Wisconsin currency can be converted into Eastern currency receivable in or– business in New York at, say, ono and a half per cent. -which would be our bankers sellingrico-but how p long will this rate rule the oven as low us that after Wisconsin currency is Y again scattered in the country? y • Expe rience has taught us to ask the ques- tion, It It can easily be seen, by those not as well as those who are, that we already have better moneythan Wisconsin, and it is t:all-known that the staple •articlo of •Wheat, which tom- prises thegreat bulk of what we offer for sale, will bring the best money used as a eirenlatitg medium, and it only remains for our Bankers to demand for + ( their own, as well as the interest of the community,) of their depositors,whether Wheat -buyers, Merchants or others Ycharge, ` 0000 MONEY. If they will do this, there will be no occasion for resortingto the `'baby act," whereby they claim to bo only the "agent" of -not the debtor to -the depositor. The United States Government be- in about to issue TreasuryNotes to the g amount of one hundred and fifty mil- lent lions of dollars, the people would: pre- far that money to any other, and the makes it of equal value in any part the country.

By the opening of navigation the new issue of Treasury Notes can bo had,and if the fartnera demand them, they will get them, or at least agood proprotion, together with the bills of good, sound, Eastern banks, well known to a majority of farmers in this •vicinity. The farmers arc the real ones interested in this case. The exchanges and discounts paid by business men are added to the costs of the articles he sells, and the consumer pays the whole, together with profits.

WE THANK THEE, JEW, &re The following is clipped from the St. Paul Press, a paper which has been most clamorous for keeping up party distinctions: "It is strange how mon, otherwise jnst and upright, will be led to do for, and with a political party. what they would turn from with loathing as indi- vidnal acts in private dealings. By a curions self-deception they iinagine themselves absolved from any concrete responsibility, by regarding such acts in the abstract as party and political action, by which the responsibility is divided among all the tens of thousands members of the party, so that but an intnitcismal share of guilt attaches to j each member." After perusing the above the reader will come to the conclusion that the leaders hold in very low esteem those glen who blindly follow the dictates of party. Now consistency ie a great jewel, and to say the least, the Press is not respon sible to the charge of consistency. It may be a nice thing for it to show up the corruptions of party organizations, but it become enigmatical, when its whole power has been exercised to sus• tain such stench breeding, neighbor-. heod polluting, and treasury despoiling instituticue. If party bluuts the moral sensibility, eriminates the just, and dodges behind the multitude in vindication of its in- iquity --upon the principle that major- ities can do no wrong -it is time a re- form was commencer] among the pen- ple that will break the power of the rot. ten concerns. Oar people in order to break the thraldom of Tarty, exempt themselves .from charges which as private individ- uals they would shudder at, as expres- sed in the above from the Press, they :must examine for themselves the ques- tions of the day, comp to their own con elusions, and act up to them independ- ent and irrespective of party tricksters, whose article in trade are the principles which honest men venerate. 4W -The St. Paul Press in speaking of the Burnside success, says: "The well earned victory of the gallant Burn- side and his brave New England boys at Newbern, carried such consternation to the hearts of the rebels that they abandoned Beaufort, blew up Fort Ma- con, burned the notoriona privateers, Nashville and Bermuda, thus surrend- ering the best and strongest defended in the State. Beaufort is situated at the mouth of Newport River, a few miles from the sea, and has the beat harbor in the State. It is accessible from Alber- marle Sound. Fort Macon was on an island in Beaufort harbor, and was a strong, well armed stone fort with cosemates. The rebels had counted on Fort Macon as one of their impregnable defenes of the Southern coast. Wilmington, near the southeast cor.. ner of the State, alone remains untaken of all the ports or harbors of the North Carolina coast. It is alongside of Al- bermarle and Pamlico Sound. t.The tobacco seized by the Union atmy in Tennessee, after the Into victo- ries in that State, was sold in St. Louie last week 'on Government account. - Part of the stock in hogsheads coneist- ei of stents, and also brought full figures The other bogshead grades, from lugs upwards, sold at $5 to 812 per 100 lbs, A numt'cr of hogsheads of leaf were not put on sale, because several persona from Tenne,soe were present and claim- ed to le t! a owners, and to be loyal. to the tit yi;ru;' cut. THE MONITOR. It having been asserted that the Monitor's decks were' not" ranked, which accounted for the leaking on her voyage from New York to Hemp-. ton Roads, Captain Ericsson writes to the World correcting the statement.— He tatement—He says: "Tho Monitor's deck is composed of planking seven and a fourth inches thick, spiked to deck beams of oak ten inches square, placed only twenty-six inches part. No deck has ever been caulked more carefully; 214 days' work were expended in tho operation; 2,000 pounds of oakum and two and a half barrels of pitch were consumed. On the deck thus carefully caulked were spread 1,624 sheets of thick tarred felt, upon which again two thicknesses of iron plating, one inch thick, was fastened with upwards of 7,000 blunt bolts three fourths of an inch in di- ameter. There is not another struc- ture afloat witb a deck so perfectly water tight. The leaks observed du- ring the passage of the Monitor • were caused by the numerous openings in the deck, which had been closed in quite a temporary manner, although they aro all provided with strong iron covers, accurately turned and planed.

PEON EIIOLAND.—In the How., Lords on the 10tH, Lord Campbell call- ed attention to the inefficiency of the Confederate ports, and moved for ' the correspondence on the subject. Earl Russell replied that the proofs adduced by Lord Campbell of the inef- ficiency of the blockade, and recounted the efforts"made by the North to ren- der it effective. Ile considered that the want of cotton in the English market was the best test that the blockade was not an empty one. During the debate on Mr. Gregory's motion, W. E. Foster denied that the blockade was ineffective, and stated that a list of uptvards of three hundred semis which had been handed in by Mr. Mason ars a sea vessels which had broken the blockade, had on examina- tion dwindled down to nineteen, and most of these had escaped on dark and stormy nights, thus evincing the strength rather than the inefficiency of the blockade. He also reminded the House that during the war between Great Britain and her revolted colonies in America, no less than 500 privateers succeed in getting out of American ports. He warmly eulogized the con- duct of Her Majesty's Government in referenop to America. He trnsted that no temptation not even the sufferings of a portion ot the population, world in• duce the Government from the strict neutrality hitherto observed. Mr. Milner could not believe in the final dissolution of the Great American Union, and so loug as it existed he dep recated any interference by England in the struggle. Tho Solicitor General strongly op• posed any interference. The blockade ha 1 been as efficient as other blockades in former years. • After a further debate Mr. Gregory's motion for the t;orrespondence on the out>ject, was negatived without a divi- siota. EMANCIPATION IN WESTERN VIRGINIA. -Hon. W. G. Brown, the Member of Congress from the Wheeling District, writes to his constitnents under date of March 10,nrging the necessity of eman• cipation upon their attention. Ile re. - garbs it as immediately necessary that the peupl3 of that section vote at once upon th3 question of a gradual emanci- pation of slaves on the plan suggested by the President, or some other which shall, though more tardily, secure the same result. This he urges with power and feeling as necessary, and the West- ern Virginia press are taking up the matter in earnest. The Wheeling ln- teliigencer recommends that at the coming election on the new Cunstitu• tion the sock of the late convention, a vote be taken separately on the eines- tior. which that body ivas of too pro - 'slavery a cast to discuss. The complexion of the late Con• velitioti declares that the evil has still a strong foothold in the minds of many of its political managers, but now in- ducements are now offered on this side of humanity and progress. Congress will not admit a now slave State. The President suggests a method by which the master can avoid that to which he has a repugnance, selling his slaves Sonth, and the other alternative of pe. cuniary loss. The question for West- ern Virginia ie, will she sell out slavery within her borders and enter upon a new career ne a Free State. ter The inevitable Geo. F. Train, has just published a pamphlet on American affairs. Speaking of the English idea of Americans Mr. Train says: ,r � Punch and tie' Timer' have so deeply impressed the L;ngliob mind with sire - teens, cobblers; smashes, bowie knives, "Revolvers itt Geoegia,"=-repudiation, lynch -law, Congressional bullying - negro chains, apple -sauce, woolen nut, metre, collapsing steamboats, one eyed voters, Macrea,ly riots, Colt suicides, Webster murders and non-paying divi• lends -the British journalists and British authors have fed on these crumbs that tall from the American's table so long, it has become near to impossible to make the English people believe, when they meet an American, that he has not got a pocket steam - boiler in bis waistcoat, just on the point of exploding; a miniature locomotive in'bis coat, ou the eve of smashing up the decanters; a small hand -edition in his breclles pockets of a negro, just about being mangled; or an American security' in his hand, done up in some patent financial infernal machine, made to go off on the hair trigger principle, so as to ruin as many people AS possi- ble at the shortest notice. A FoaclesLE SIMit E -•-Wendell Phil- lips in his speech at Washington said: "We have heard a voice—the mes- sage of Abraham Lincoln. [Three cheers were given for Abraham Lin• coin.] Its purport is: Border States, now is your time to sell. He was not acgnainted with rail splitting, but un- derstood that a small thin wedge was first applied: This was a wedge, a small wedge, bat still a wedge. As the negro said, if 'commanded to go through a stone wall, he would ga at it —so Abraham Lincoln has gone at it, and it was for the people to go through it. At last the anti -slavery sentiment had oonquered the Cabinet. A:WA few days ago, as General Bu- ell was riding on horseback through the streets of Nashville, an aristbberetic lady, a Mrs. W., living in 'eine large bonne stood at en open door'or window, wav ed a rebel flag toward him, and ' cried: "Harrah fortieff.- Davil and the South - ere Confederacy!"

REVOLUTION IN GERNAN r.—Germany threatened with another revolution. rfbe bonds of the Confederation have for wine 'time been little better than a rope of .sand. Violations of some ode or other of the articlds have been of re cent occurrence; while • clashing inter- ests and political rivalries hive:- triode the sessions of the Diet anything but love feasts. The coldness which bas long existed between Preseia and Austria, hasgiven placr to bitter enmity. The quarrel yet confined within the limits of diplo- macy, ,waxes hotter and hotter day by day, until it threatens to culminate in onssa war. The list of grievances on both sides is formidable. Prussia is accused of secretly abetting the Pro- gressive Party in Italy; Austria is ac- cused of tampering with the Ioyalty of smaller States, of having bought over Saxony, and of organizing a reaction- ary league, whish shall cumpriso anti - Germanic °lemetata, and secure a pre- ponderance of despotic influence. The controversy, in the meantime, extends among the people. Religious animosities are aroused; geographical hatreds are. resuscitated; family and class fends are revived. The Universi- ties are, as usual, in fermentation; the beer hooses are rampant; even the pul. pits Bre getting militant.

NO,,_ NARROW ESCAPR OF AN OLD HUNTER., Old Ben Wheaten, who lived in Bri- er Vallee, about two miles from the Snsqueliannah, was an inveterate lover of forest sports. He, like most of the early settlers of Ostego, h,ad selected a farm from the hill lands, leaving the broad swamp lands for huntiog ground His shanty was erected en a small stream in Briar Valley, which is now called After his name, Wheaton Creek. The most of his time was expended in journeys through the forest, frequently in company with a far -'famed liotiawk Indian, nettled Atone; but sometimes Ben loved to pursue his sports withont a companion. And well he might for he did not need a guide. Every nook, dell, cave; crevice, from 'the Ostego Lake to the mouth of the Delaware riv- er, was farnilliar to Bou Wheaton, and he had often pursued his game to -every part of the country. He chiefly hunt- ed the wolf, as well for the profit as the sport, for the Government gave a silver dollar, in the shape of a bounty, on ev ery skin. Bent on increasing his store of coin, old Ben, one fine sunny morning, shoul- dered his rifle, and taking hie knapsack, containing a sufficient supply of corn cake and dried venison, he crossed the Susquehannah, and took his way to- wards Franklin Mountain, which lies be - ween the villages of Otego and Frank- lin. The day was sultry, and by the timo ho had accomplished ;oue-half the ascent of the mountain, he concluded that he needed rest. Ile therefore took a seat upon a moss covered log, near a spring, and ate a luncheon. '1'11e still Solitude, the balmy air, together with the singing of the birds and the lazy hum of the bee, finally lu'led the hun- ter to repose. He must have slept long for when he awoke the sun was declins Me to the westward, and a few ripples of golden light lingered on the tree -tops which he first noted after clearing a 03683 of dry leaves from his face which he thought had blown there; but in at- tempting to rise he discovered that he was completely buried in them. Now, it is a notorious fact that the panther will cover a sleeping or dead body, and leave it for a time, but only to return and devour it. The instant Ben awoke the truth flashed upon his mind that a panther had found and concealed him, and that the boast at that moment might be watching him, ready to make the fatal spring. He arose quickly, seized his gun, which rested against a tree, and hastily throw- ing together some large pieces of decay- ed wood, end covering them with leaves he climbed a tree, and waited patiently the panther's coming. He had not long to wait. Presently be saw it, a sho ono, stealing along with catlike tread, and with two cubs behind her, which she hid in some underbrush. Dropping herbal' on the ground, she crept slowly towards her expected prey lashing the earth with her tail, and her oyes glowing like sparks of firo. The appearance of things did not suit her, but she sprang up, elevated her back, and threw herself upon her victim with a wild yell. The wood and leaves flew about in every direction, and for a mo- ment the panther seemed palsied with rage. Suddenly she leaped aside, drop- ped her tail, and peered among the bushes; then raising her eyes upward. she encountered the hunter's gaze upon her, With another scream more terrible than the first, she prepared to spring up- on hinewhen with aim that seldom failed old Bea fired, and she fell tearing the earth with her claws. The shot was fatal. Our adventurous bunter re -loaded his gun and waited for her companion to come up, but none arrived. so he killed the cubs and built a fire, and once more resigned himself to the em- btace of Morpheus. • • :.: is -se ---ref'ses • 77 2401' , 12* • • ,‘ • v$:,:.•:..-4,nt • _ • t 141114 3ournal Ocuottb to State 3nterest9, politico, News, tonimerce, agriculture, Obncation, Select atistellang, Pottrp anb %moment.

' And there they sat a poppng corn, John Stiles and Susan Cutter; John Stiles as stout as any ox, And Snsau fat as butter. And there they sat and shelled the corn, And raked and stirred the fire, And talked of different kinds of ears, And hitched their chairs up nigher. • Then Susan she the popping shook, Then John Ise shook the popper, Till both their faces grew as red As sauce -pans made of copper. And then they shelled and popped and ate, And kinks oI fun -a -poking, And he haw-hawcd at her remarks, And she laughed at his joking. And still they popped, and still they ate, (John's mouth was like a hopper,) And stirred the fire, and sprinkled salt, And shook and shook the popper. The clock struck nine, the clock struck ten And still the corn kept popping; It struck eleven and then struck twelve, And still no signs of stopping, And Joh n he at', and Sue she thought— The corn did pop and patter, Till John cried out, ''the corn's a fire!

It. -was wide awake, and its great blue eyes were staring with infant persistence at some. thing. I couldn't tell what, then they turned upon me, and I returned the gaze. But it made no difference; the baby bad not a foul or evil thought to hide; it watt not concious of a sin in word or deed; hence there came no blush to that delicatelysrounded cheek no falling to those calm, quiet eyes, limpid as a lake in summer, serene as the heaven in June. There was a rustle and . flatter of rauslin, the sound of a light springy step, the glimpse of a fairy form, and Mrs. Winslow stood before mo. She was not beautiful, but sparkling and vivacious. with a glow of health on her cheek and its light in her eye. Tho baby had roused up now, to be sure; no more of its thoughtful serene, ity. Its little form fairly fluttered with joy; it laughed, clapping its dims pled bends. 'You've come to atay all day with us, have'nt you? and baby has had such good company while mamma was gone, hadint it?' sho said in a light chirrupy way that set off the little fel- low with renewed delight. Her invi- tation hail only seconded my designs, so, removing my bonnet and mantilla, while she sat down on the rocket and took the baby, we prepared to enjoy the day and each other's society. I can't tell what we talked about; No; it was'nt of balls, or operas, nor hone, nor sights. No; the infirmities of the clergyman were not shown up.

P41 tilt :sat, when the great round sun was sinking behind trees that burned and glowed in the rich, warm light, she came to where 1 was sitting, and without a word laid a portrait in my lap. It was that of a noble looking man, with moat expressive and faultless fee-. tures. •My husband as he was,' she said with a sigh. 'You have never seen him?' I replied in the negative. 'It is almost time for him to bo here,' she continued. 'You will stay with us this evening?' 1 replied that I should be happy to form his acquaintance, and again looked at his portrait. 'He doesn't look like that now,' she answered, wiping away a tear. 'Yet he says,' and a blush overspread her features—'he says he shall ever have cause to bless the fire by which he lost hie good looks, but which won him what he esteemed a thousand times more valuable.' 'What was it?' I asked, with unac- countable dullness of apprehension. She pointed archly and with a sweet smile to her wedding ring. 'Do tell mo the story; I should be delighted to hear it.' Again sho smiled, saying: 'I do not know that you will con– aider it very interesting; however, setts eral reasons conspire to make me wish that you should know all, and since you have never heard, perhaps I may as well tell you.' 'Certainly, certainly.' 'You see when Mr. Winslow first began his attentions to me I wasn't at all pleased. Ho was handsome, I know, but I had set my mind very foolishly, I suppose, on haviug a rich husband, any ono that could keep me above the necessity of work. So I slighted and repulsed him upon all oc- casions, making him feel not nierely indifference, but actual loathing and scorn. Such treatment one might have supposed would quickly oblitera- ted his passion; on the contrary, how- ever, it seemed only to increase it. 'About this time I formed the ac- quaintance of a city gentleman who rumor had reported immensely rich, and whose intense selfishness was veiled beneath a manner of the utmost suavity. His attentions to me wore marked and not to be mistaken—and though he had not spoken of love, he acted and looked like it, and I believed him. 'At this time I lived with my mother in our beautiful cottage at North Bend; the place was very gay, and social par- ties large and frequent; I mingled with them all, and Barton was my escort. Sometitnos I saw Winslow, but he seldom approached mo. .It was in October, I think, the at- mosphere dry and cool, with night winds, when, as wo were returning from a party, late at night, I was surs prised and shocked at the apperance, in the distance, of a deep red light, that seemed to climb the sky ant quench the very -stars.

Still my mother stood there surveying the scone with the resignation of it tnartyr. 'Barton! Barton!' I shrieked, 'for God's sake help my mother.' 'Ho stood still. I implored and urged him. At length he turned to- ward me with a frown, saying: 'I cannot risk my own life to save even your mother.' ..Great Heavens! and I have loved the man!' The thought rushed seeth- ing and seething through my brain. 'There was a shout, and exclamation and OtteranCe of brave, strong words Somo nervous arm had placed a ladder and a man was rapidly mounting— on—on through the dense smoke wreaths -through singing flume, scorch- ed by the intense heat; en he went.— It was a moment ol intense suspense; the crowd swayed and murmured like a wind-swept wave.

Then there was a crash of the falling, roof, mingled with wild exclamations; and a great mist swam before ruy eyes—a noise, not unlike that of tho roaring flame, was ia wy ears, and 1 lost the consciousness of surrounding objects. 'Is it necessary to tell who it was that thus rescued my mother? or what emotions I experieuceil upon hearing how deeply 1 was indebted to the man I had despised? It is unnecessary, however, for me to tell you that he then and there lost the good looks which you admire in that portrait. The clothes were burned from his body, and, the flesh of his face and nock scarred and scorched till the skin seemed of the consistency of leather. 'There, there, my dear,' said a man- ly voice at the door, 'you have told enough; let mo finish.' I looked up; a man was there, on whose countenance wore deep traces of the fiery element, but he didn't look ugly to rue at all. Each scar seemed rather a badge of honor, and the very soul of truth and nobleness beamed raidautly in his eyes. His - wife pre- sented him, end, giving me his hand, be said: 'One whom my dear wife esteems so much cannot bo a stranger to me, and now, since she has told you part —for I have been a said eavesdropper —let me tell you the rest.' I joyfully assented. 'Then and there; he began, heard the flame roaring around mo, and I felt its fiery breath acorching my cheeks and seeming to lap up the very eprings of life, but was conscious only of a great joy at my heart, for the mother of her I prized was in my arms.

I heard the acclamations that rent the air, but could only think that I had made her happy, and in the bliss of that assurance forgot for a time my towins.uffcrings, the world and every• hng lay ill through several weeks— through days and nights that would have been anguish indeed, had I not kuown whose care it ;vas that provided everything essential to my comfort; had not such a pleasant face bent over me, such a soft hand tninistored to my wants, Never, in the proudest days of my health, had I experienced such exquisite felicity as in my weakuess; now, when sho sat beside me. when she read to me, when she brought me fruit and flowers, when she put her hand in mine, and whispered some- thing that would have repaid suffering a thousand times bitterer than mine.'

These are harbors, famed for ages as commercial centers, from which the sea is gradually withdrawing its waters. The deltas of groat rivers grow by accumulation from year to year, till the rivers themselves forsake them and seek new channels. The sea of Asof, the outlet of the commerce of the Don, is rapidly becoming a vast and impen- etrable marsh. Between two measure- meists,thirty-two years apart, its depth has dimished eleven feet; and the pre- diction of Strabo may yet be NOM, that sometime both the sea of Asof and the Black Sea will become a waste tract of intermingled lakes and morrasses.— The largest river in Central Asia, the Oxus, according to the unanimous tes- timony of authors, rolled itsavaters in- to the Caspian Sea. In modern times it li,s emptied into the Sea of Aral.— But it seems to be about to resume its ancient channel to the Caspian, an event which would revolutionize the conditions of commerce between Europe and Asia. The Oxus would then re- cover its renown as a great highway of natians. The Euphrates, is leaving its ancient bed from a point above Kilah, and taking a more westerly course.— Year after year the new channel receives a largo proportion of its waters; the stream that adheres to the old channel has already ceased to produce the inun- dations, which, like those of the Ni!, can alone fertilize its borders; the coun• try adjacent to the ruins of Babylon be- gins to wear the aspect of hopeleas arid- ity; and the ancient capital of Semira- mis and Nebudchanezzar will soon make the center of a desert. Nor does the river promise to fertilize a new dis- trict, but loses itself in the innumera- hale lakes and marshes which extend to the Persian Gulf. Serowe—Spring is the most delight ful season of the year, when nature seems budding into life and everything so gay, when we can trip about on the prairies just begining to put forth their verdure, when all nature is leaping for joy. I delight to roam over the prai- ries brand and free, and see the sun set in a clear sky, and to hold communion with nature, to dream of the past, pres- ent and future, view the pleasing land. scape. Thiuk how cruel it was for selfish white men to drive the poor In- dians away from such natural beauty, where nature decks the Earth in all her grandeur.—Fred. Eyre. Homs.—Home is namo ever dear to me, and to every one. Everything that is dear and sacred in this world clusters around home. It is the only word that will make the heart feel sad when ab- sent from home, to hear mentioned.— It brings to memory every scene of de. parted years, "the low thatched roof," "tbe moss covered bucket that hung in the well." Everything rushes into the memory when that word is mentioned that makes home so sacred, loving sit ters, kind brothera, and fond parents — How dear then they seem. The heart fills with joy at the mention of the word and then sinks into sorrow, to think we aro absent, and imagine the still vacant chair.— Charles Math,er, WI1AT CONeTiTuTES TRU& BRAVERY.– The Duke of Wellington eeeing a man turn pale, as without moving a muscle, he marched up to a battery, remarked: 'This is a brave man; he knows hie danger and faces it.' rhe bravest men have ever been those of a high toned, finely organized temperament, and therefore an acutely nervous structure. Ctesar, Bonaparte, Washington, and all men of great purpose and daring, were of this nervous temperament. The man who delights in scenes of bloodshed, and is utterly unmindful and reckless of danger, cannot be called the bravo man. His courage is merely that of the brute, without reason or judgment. A Sersrehe Gins.—A young and pretty girl attended a ball at Oshkosh, Wis., decked off in short skirts and pats. She was the only one present in the mede. The other ladies were shocked—very much shocked! They 'regarded her -short skirts as immodest. She quietly remarked that if they would pull up their dreseese about the neek ae high as as they ought to be, their skirts would be as short as hers. -OATTo those who know and love each other best, there are certain - in– stincts and feeling; so peculiet. tin •the possessor, that words aro nothing inex pressing or in arguing against thepa.— Language .which is a-lapted to the a- dinary wants of men, in such cases tells nothings There is no one who, on 9edmeesaufbjaencdts,dduomobs.not share the fate of °t1 SirOld Jeremy Taylor, speaking of marriage says, 'lids not written. that in the begining God created man,:rich and eeor, philopopber and peasant, )tet maleand female ciliated he (bent.'" • • There in a i.irettyleing'atirmOns failr.few,werd 711711Ple*Tfrtr"-- .104PfNierfeat,Tankei notios iis- a f3171941s rell:catn called the fihilifithil1 3* it operates by ing fellow' aluirfplinolt 1451he ribs the moment Ito-booloktriok enough ia ' 1,c1 „wag- ' A BULLY JUDGE.—The Judge of a Western Court recently decided a point adverse to a certain lawyer. The law- yer was stubborn, and insisted that the Court was wrong. '1 tell you that t am right 1' yelled the Court, with flashing eyes. tell you that you are noti' retorted the counsel. 'Crier,' yelled the Jndge, adjourn the court for ten minutes,' and then Pitched into the counsel, and after a liv- ly little fight, placed him hors du com- bat, after which business was again re- sumed; bat it was not long before an' other misunderstanding arose. 'Crier,' yelled the court, 'we will ad- . journ this time for twenty mintftes,' and he was about to take off his coat, when the counsel said: 'Never mind, Judge, keep on your coat—the p'int is yielded—my thumb' out o'joint, and I've spraned my shoul- der.'

'Yes sir; in summer when it's hot the days are long, and in winter when it is cold, the days get to bo very short.' 'Go to the head, Solon; boys take your seats;' and the learned pedagogue was lost in wonder that so familiar au illustration should have escaped his philoaophical mind. – TUE CAP or LIBERTY.—Tlie follow- ing scrap of history shows the origin uf the custom of delineating the Goddess of Liberty holding a spear with a cap on the point: After the (Iced of Ctesar, the con-, apiratore who had secured his death, marched out with a cap as the ensigu of liberty, carried before there on a spear—the cap without a head, indic- ting that a tyrant had lost his power. -- From that fact, and for this reason, it has ever since been and emblem of lib- erty. /141-A Livery stehe keeper, named Spurr, would never let a berm go out without requesting the lads not to drive fast. One day a man called for a horse to attend a funeral. 'Certainly,' said Spurr; 'but,' he ad- ded, forgetting the solemn purpose fet which tho young man wanted the horse 'don't drive fast.' 'Why, jest look a here, old feller,' said the somewhat excited young man, 'I want you to understand that I shall keep up with the procession if it kills the Weer Spurr instantly retired to a stall, and swooned among the straw. Jar Major Jack Downing once said to General Jackson, 'Gin'ral, I Iisvo always observed that those persona who havo a great deal to, say about being ready to shed their last drop of blood are amazinipartielar about the first drop.' tif'Why, Samuel, I am aetonish- edl' said a very worthy deacon.— Didn't we take you into our church a short time since?

IIe served God, and diad not fear man --and it might be safely added, nor devil either. flis courage was proverb• ial in the neighborhood; and it was a common remark, when wishing to pay any person a high compliment, to say, 'He is as bravo as Old Bradley.' Ono night, toward the close of September, as he stood alone by the anvil plying his labors, his countenance evinced a peculiar satisfaction as he brought his hammer down with a vigorons stroke on the heated iron. White blowing the bellows he would occasionally pause and shake his head, as if com- muning with himself. He was evi- dently meditating upon something of a serious nature. It was during one of these pauses that the door was ulated, 'In the name of Jesus, protect me!'

'Mattie will conduct you to the ren- dezvous of our friends. There is a party made up who intend to cross the mountains and join the Union forces in Kentucky. They wore to start to. night. They have provisions for the journey, and will gladly sharp with you.' At this moment a young girl entered the shop, and hurriedly said, 'Father, what is the trouble to -night?' Her eye resting upon the fugitive, she approached him, and, in a sytnpathiz- ing tone, continued, 'Ab, Mr. Peters, has your turn come so soon?' This was Mattie. She was a fine rosy girl, just passed •her eighteenth birthday, and the sole daughter of Bradley's house and heart. She was his all -his wife had been dead five years. He turned toward her, and, in a mild but firm tone, said, 'Mattie, you must condnct Mr. Pe- ters to the rendezvous immediately; then return, and we will call at the parson. when they gut to Kentucky. When Mattie was about to return home two of the party prepared to ac- company her; but she protested, warn. ing thein of the danger, as the enemy were doubtless abroad ite search of the minister. But, notwithstanding, they insisted, and accompanied her until she reached the road a short distance above her father's shop. Mattie hurried on bnt was somewhat surprised upon reaching the shop to find it vacant. - She hastened into the house, but her father was not there. As she returned to go into the shop she thought she could hear the noise of horses' hoofs clattering down the road. She listened, but the sound soon died away. Go- ing into the shop she blew the fire into a blaze; then beheld that the things were in great confusion, and that spots of blood were upon the ground. She was now convinced that her father had been seized and carried off, but not without a desperate atrugglo on his part. As natio stood gazing at the pools of blood a wagon containing two per. sons drove up, one of whom, an ath- letic young man of five -and -twenty years, got out and entered the shop. 'Good -evening, Mattie! Where is your fathorl' he said. Then observ- ing the strange demeanor of the girl, he continued, ' Why, Mattie, what ails yon? What has happened?' The young girl's heart was toe full for her tongue to give utterance, and throwing herself upon the shoulder of the young man, she sobbingly ex- claimed: 'They have carried him off? Don't you sec the blood?' 'Have they darel to lay hands upon your father? The infernal wretches!' Mattie recovered herself sufficiently to narrate the events of the evening. - When she had finished, lie exclaimed: 'Oh that I,Ihould have Lived to see the day that old 'Tennessee was to be thus disgraced! Ilere, Joe!' At this the other person in tho wag. on alighted and entered the shop. He was a stalwart negro. 'Joe,' continued the young man, 'you would like your freedom!' 'Well. Massa John, I wouldn't like much to leabo you, but den I'se like to be a free man.' 'Joe, the white race have maintained their liberty by their valor. Are you willing to fight for yours? Ay! fight to the i" nth?' 'I'se fight for yous any time, Massa John.' 'I believe you, Joe. But I have dos perata work on hand to night, and I do not want you to engage in it with- out a prospect of reward. If I suc- co^d 1 will make you a free man. It is a matter of life and dsattt--will you go?' 'I will, Massa.' 'Then kneel down and swear before the everlasting, God, that, if you talter or shrink the danger, you tuay hear - after be consigned to everlasting fire!' 'I swear, Massa,' said the negro, kneeling. 'Art' I hope that Gor Al- mighty may strike me dead if I don't go wid you through fire and water and eber ting!' 'I am satisfied, Joe,' said his master; then turning to the young girl, who had been a mute spectator of this sing- ular scene, he continued, •Now Mattie, you get in the wagon and I will drive down to the parsonage, and yon will remain there with Mrs. Peters and the children until I bring you some in- telligence of year father.' While the strurdy old blacksmith was awaiting the return of his daugh- ter the party that he had repulsed re- turned with increased numbers and des manded the minister. A fierce quar- rel ensued, which resulted in their seizing the smith and carrying him off. They conveyed him to a tavern half a mile distant from the shop, and there he was arraigned before what was termed a vigilance committee. The committee met in a long room on the age to cheer his family. Quick! No ground floor, dimly lighted by a lamp time is to bo lost. The bloodhounds which stood upon a small table in front of the chairman. Ie about half an hour after Bradley's arrival he 'was placed before the chairman for exami- nation. The old man's arms were pinioned, but nevertheless he cast a de- fiant look upon those around him, 'Bradley, this is a grave charge against you. What have you to says' said the chairman. 'What authority have you to saki' demanded the smith, fiercely eying his interrogator. The authority of the people of Ten- nessee,' was the reply. 'I deny it.' 'Your denials amount to nothing — You are accused of harboring an abo- litionist, and the penalty of hat act you know is death. What have you to say to the charge?' 'I say that it is a lie, and that be who utters such charges against me is a econndrel.' 'Simpson; said the chairman to the leader of the hand that had eapturol Bradley, and who now appeared with a large bandage about his head, to bind up a wound which was the result of a blow from the fist cf Bradley. - 'Simpson,' continued the chairman, 'what have you to say?' The leader then stated that ha had tracked the preacher to the blacksmith shop, and that Bradley had resisted his arrest, and that upon their retnrn he could not be found, and that the priso- ner refused to give any infortuatiou concerning him. 'Do you hear that, ?ilr. Bradley?' said the chairman. 'I do. What of it?' was the reply. 'Is it true?' 'Yes.' 'Where is the preacher?' 'That is none of your business.' 'Mr. Bradley, this tribunal is not to be insulted with impunity. 1 again de rnand to know where Mr. Peters is. - Will you tell?' 'No.' 'Mr. Bradley, it is well known that you aro not only a member but an ex- horter in Mr. Peter's church, and there fore some little excuse is to be made for. your zeal in defending him. He is from the North, and has long been suspected, and is now accused of being an abolitionist and a dangerous man. - You do not deny sheltering hint, and refusing to give hirn up. If yon per - dist in this you niust take the conse- quences. I ask you for the last time if you will inform us of his where- abouts!' 'And again I answer no!' 'Mr. Bradley, there is ale° another serious charge against you, and your conduct in this instance confirms it. - Yon are accused of giving comfort to the enemies of your country. What have you to say to that?' 'I say it is false. and that he who makes it is a villain.' 'I accuse him with being a traitor, aiding the cause of the Union,' said Simpson. 'If my adherence to the Union mer its for me the mame of traitor then I am proud of it. I have been for the Union -I nm still for the Union -and will be for the Union as long as life lasts!" At these words the chairman clutch - cd a pistol that lay upon the table be- fore hirn, and the bright blade of Simp- son's bowie -knife glittered near Brad- ley's breast; but before ho could make the fatal plunge a swift -winged mess- enger of death laid him dead at the feet of his intended victim; while at the same instant another plunged into the heart of the cha:rmatt an he fell forward over the table, extinguiebiug the light and leaving all in darkness. - Confusion reigned. The inmates of the room were panicestricken. In the midst of the consternation a firm hand rested upon Bradley's shoulder; his bonds wore severed, and he hurried out of the open window. He was again a fres man, but was hastened forward into the woods at the back of the tavern, and through them to a road a quarter of a mile distant, then into a wagon and diiven rapidly off. In half an hour the stnith mado one of the party at the rendezvous that was to start at midnight across the mountains. 'John,' said the stnith as he grasped the hand of his rescuer,' while his eyes glistened and a tear coursed down his furrowed cheek, 'I should like to see Mattie before I go.' 'Yon shall,' was the reply. In another hour the blacksmith clasped his daughter to his bosom. It was an affecting scene --there, in that lone house in the wilderness, sure rounded by men who had been driven from their homes for their attachment to the principles for which the patriot fathers tonght and bled -the sturdy old smith, a type of the heroes of other days, pressing his daughter to his breast, while the tears coursed down his furrowed cheek. He felt perhaps it was to be his last embrace; for his resolute heart had resolved to sacrifice his all upon the altar of his country, and he could no longer watch over the safety of his only child. Was she to be left shortly fell, pierced to the heart. The to the marc of the parricidal wretches had better take place to -night.' 'Well, John,' he said, as ho relin- quished his embrace end gazed with a fond look at her who was so dear to him, 'I shall not object if Mattie is willing.' 'Ohl we arranged that as we came along,' replied the young than. Mattie blushed, but said nothing. In a short time the hunted -down minister was called upon to perform a marriage service in that lone house. It was as impressive scene. Yet no dia- monds glittered upon the nock of the bride; no pearls looped up her tresses; but a pure love glowed within her heart as she gave utterance to a vow which was registered in heaven. Bradley, soon after the ceremony, bade his danghter and her husband an affectionate farewell, and set out with his friends to join others who had been driven from their Itotnes, and were now rallying under the old flag to fight for the Union, and, as they said, "Re- deem old Tennessee!" tured to remark again: THRILLING INCIDENT OF THE 'Your fare, Miss.'

When I long for sainted memories, Like angel troops they come, If I fold ray eyes to ponder On the old, old home. The heart has many passages Through which the feelings roam, But its middle is sacred To the old, old home. Where infancy was sheltered, Like Rosebuds from the blast; Where boyhood's brief elysium In joyousness we passed; To that sweet spot forever, As to some hallowed dome, Life's pilgrim bends his vision— 'Tis his old, old home. A father sat, how proudly, By that hearthstone'a rays, And told his children stories 01 his early manhood's days; And oue soft eye was beaming, From child to child 'mould roam; Thus a mother coulee her treasures Lr the old, old home. The birthday gifts and festivals, The blended vesper hymn (One dear one who was swelling it Is with the'serapiiin.) The "good nights" at bed time, How quirt sleep would come, And ho'.d us ail together, lei the old, old Lorne. Like n wreath of scented flowers, Close intertwined each heart; But time and change in concert Dave blown the wreath apart. But sainted meworias, Like angels, ever come, If I fold my arm, and ponder On the old, old hutne. A RUNAWAY MATCH. A great many years since, when bright-eyed and fair-haired lassies were not so plenty in New England as they now are, there dwelt in the town of P , distsnt some five and twenty miles from a market town, a peculiar ly comely and graceful maiden, who nal a peculiar ugly and cross-grained, but wealthy old father. Minnie was Danlorth's only child, and report said truly -she would be Iris Ally legatee. The old matt was a slur-- ly farmer, and was esteemed to be worth full ten thousand dollars, at that period a very handsome fortune, in- deed. The sparkling eyes and winning manners of Minnie Danforth had stir- red up the finer feelings of the whole male population of the village, and her suitors were numerous, but her father was particular, and none succeeded in waking headway with him or her. Its the meantime Minnie had a true and loyal lover in secret! Who would have supposed for a moment that such a fellow would have dared to look up- on beauty and comparative refinement? Ilis uarre was Walker, or, as he was generally called 'Joo'—'Joa Wal kor'—and be was simply a farmer cm, ployed by old Danforth, who had en- trusted Joe with the management of his Large place two er three years. But a very excellent farmer and a right good manager was this plain, unassuming, but good-looking Joe Walker. Ile was young too, only twentysthree; and he actually fell its love with the beautiful, pleasant an l oyous Minnie Danforth, his employer's only daugater. But the strangest part of the occurrence was that Minnie re- turned his love earnestly, truly and frankly, and promioed to wed him at a favorable moment. Things went on merrily for a time, but old Danforth discovered certain glances and attentions between them which excited his early suspicions. Very soon afterwards Joe learned the old man's mind, indirectly, with res gard to the disposal of Minnie's hand, and quickly saw that his case was a hopeless one, unless he resorted to stratagem, and so be put his wits at once to work. By agreement and ap- parently settled coldness and distance was observed by the lovers towards each other, and the father saw, as he believed, that his previous suspicions had been premature. Then by a agreement also between them, Joe absented himself from the house at eveniug, and night after night, as soon as his work was done, did he disappear to return home at late bed- time. This was something unusual, and old Danforth determined to know the cause of it. Joe frankly confessed that he was in love with a man's daughter, who re- sided less than five miles distant, but after a faithful attachment between them for several months, the old man bad ut- terly refused to entertain his applica- tion for the young girl's hand. That was capital just what the old man desired. This satisfied him that he had made a mistake in regard to his own child; and he would have Joe get married, and stop all trouble and suspicion at once. So be said. 'Well, Joe, is she a bumun lass?' 'Yes, yes,' said Joe. 'I'm not much of a judge myself.' 'And you like her?' 'Yes.' Then marry her.' 'But I can't; the father objects.' 'Pooh! what do you caret• Run away with her.'

If the gal will join, all right.— You shall have the little cottage at the foot of the lane; I will fix it np for yon. Your wages shall be raised, and the old man may like it or not.' •But ' 'But no buts, Joe. Do as I bid you. Go about it at once, and ' 'You will stand by me?' 'Yes, to the very last. I know you, Joe; you're a good workman, and will make any one a good son or hus- band' 'The old fellow will be so mad, though.' 'Who cares?' I say, Go quickly but quietly. 'To -morrow night then. 'Yes.' 'I will hire C'ulver's horse.' 'I say Do. Take my horse; the best one, young Morgan. He will take you off in styles in the phaeton. 'Exactly: 'And as soon as you - are spliced, come right back here. and a jolly time we will have of it in the old house.' 'Her father will kill me: 'Bah! he is an old fool, whoever he is. He does not know your good qual- ities, Joe, so well as I do. Do not be afraid; faint heart you know, never won a fair lady.' 'The old man will be astonished: 'Never mind ; we will turn the laugh on hitu. I will take caro of your wife at any rate.' 'You shall, said Joe Walker, and they parted in the best of spirits. An hour after dark, on the following evening, Joe made his appearance in a nice new black suit, really looking very comely. The old man bustled out to the barn with him, helping to harness young Morgan to the phaeton, and' leading the spunky animal himself to the road, and away went Joe Walker in -search of his bride. A few rods distant from the house he t'oun.l her, according to previous engagement, and repairing to the next %silage, the parson soon made'them one in holy wedlock. Joe took his bride and soon desired back to tin town of P--, and halted at old Danfort.h's house, who was already looking for hits, and who received him with open arms. 'Ia it dune?' cried the old man. 'Yes,' said Joe 'Bring her in, bring her in,' contin- ued the old fellow in high glee. 'Nev er mind compliments; no matter about the dark entry; here Joe, to the right, in the best parlor. We will have a good time now, sure!' and the anxious farther rushed away for lights, return- ing almost immediately. 'Here is the certificate,' said Joo. 'Yes, yes--' • 'And this is my wife,' he added, as he passed up his beautiful bride, the bewitching and loving Minnie Dan- forth! 'What!' roared the old fellow, what 'what did you say i So—yon villan, you scamp, you audacious cheat you, you -- 'It is the truth, sir, we are lawfully married. You lent me your horse; you thought mo worthy any man's child. You encouraged me, you promised to stand by mo, you offered me the cot- tage at the foot of the lane, and -- 'I did not. I deny it. You can- not prove it. You are a—a—a--' 'Calmly now,' said Joe; and the one treaties of the happy couple were unix ted to quell the old man's ire, and per- suaded him to acknowledge the union. Tho father relented at last. It was a job of his own manufacture, and he saw finally how useless it would bo to attempt to destroy it. He gave in reluctantly, and tho fair Minnie Danforth was overjoyed to be acknowledged as Mrs. Joo Walker. The marriage proved a joyful one and the assertion of Danforth proved true in every respect. The cunning lover was a good son and a faithful husband, and lived many I. year to enjoy the happiness which followed upon his ruuaway match; while the old man never cared to hear much about the details of the elope- ment, for he saw how ho had overshot the mark. C1tEDULOUS PEOPLE.—Young people are always credulous. It takes experi•• ence to make them otherwise. Belief, somebody has said, is born blind, like a puppy, and must swallow whatever food is given it. When it can seg, it caters for itself. Puppies, though, only remain blind for nine days, whereas nineteen years may be called a nearer approach to the period during which that species of ready belief remains blind which we call credulity. Thera are some people who never see distinct ly in this respect. They never acquire the perfect:use of their mental eyes; and unfortunately there are no lenses out of which to fashion the kind of spectacles that ,,will supply them with a better sight. They fancy that their vision is excellent. They cn:eier a *hs incredu- lous to be uncharitable. They flatter themselves upon their own liberality of judgment and superior kindness of heart and when deceived, find consolation in their own infirmity. ONLY A FRAxa.—The editor of s Down East paper talks about hie frame of mind. A contemporary suggests th•t he may have tlta frame of ons, but that's all. OBEYING ORDER& 'The Oldest Inhabitant' perfectly re- members the widow Trotter, who used, many years ago, to occupy a small wooden house away down rn Hanover street, in somewhat close proximity to Salutation Alley. Well, this t; idow was blessed with a son, who, like Gold- smith and many other been distinguish- ed in after life, was the dunee of his class. Numerous were the fltggins which his stupidity brought upon bine, and the road to knowledge was with him truly a 'vale ofiears.' One day he came home, as usual, with red eyes and hands. '0, you blockhead!' screamed his mother—she was a bit of tr virago, Mrs. Trotter was—'you've been gettia' an- other licking, I know' '0, yes,' replied Mr. Trotter; 'that's one of the reg'lar exorcises—lickin' mo. After I've licked Trotter,' says the mas• ter, 'I'll 'her 'rithmetic cues.' 'But mother to change the subject, as the criminal said, when he found the judge getting personal, is there any arrant I can do for you?' 'Yes,' grumbled the widow; 'only you're so eternal slow about anything you undertake—go get a pitcher of wa ter, and be four years about it, will ye?' Bob Trotter took a pitcher, and wend- ed his way in the direction of the street pump; but he hadn't got far, when he encountered his friend. Joe Buffner, the mate of a vessel, issuing from his house, and dragging a heavy sea -chest along after him. 'Come, Bob; said Joo, 'boar a hand and help me down to the Long Wharf with this!' s0 1 would,' said Bob, 'only you see mother sent the after a pitcher of water: 'What do you care for your mother —she don't care for you. Come along.' 'Well, said Bob, 'first let me hide the pitcher whore I can find it again.' With these words he :;towed away his earthen -ware under a flight of stone stops, and accompanied his friend aboard the ship. The pilot was urging the captain to cast off and take a !vantage of the wind and tide, but the cap- tain was waiting the arrival of a boy he had shipped the day before, and wishing no good to hie eyes for the de- lay he had occassioned. At last he turned to Bob, and said— ' What do yon'say yot n;stor, to ship. ping with me? I'll treat yon well, and give you ten dollars a month.' 'I should like to go,' said Bob, hesi- tatingly, 'but mother ' 'Hang your mother!' said the captain. She'll be glad to get rid of you. Come will you go?' 'I haint got no clothes.' 'Here's a chest full. Tho other chat, was just about your size and they'll fit you to a T.' 'I'll go.' 'Cast off that line there!' shouted the captain; and the ship fell off with the tido and was soon standing down the bay with a fair wind, and every stitch of canvass set. She was bound for the Northwest via Canton, and I ask again. which was then called the double voy- age, and usually occupied four years, In the meanwhile, the non-appear- ance of Bob, seriously alarmed his mother. A night passed, and the town crier was called into requisition, a week, when she gave him np, had a note read for her in the meeting and went into mourning, Just four years after the occurrence, the ship got back to port, and Bob and his friend were paid off. The wages of the widow's son amounted to just four hundred and eighty dollars, and he found on squaring his accounts With the captain, that his advances had amount- ed to the odd tens, and four hundred dollars clear were the fruits of his lung cruise. As ho walked in the direction of his mother's house, in company with Joe, he scanned with curious eye the houses; the shops and the people that he pass- ed. Nothing appeared changed; the same signs indicated unchanging hos- pitality on the part of the same land- lord, the same Jumpers wore standing at the same corners—it seemed as if he had been gone only a day. With the old sights and sounds, Bob's old feel- ings revived, and he almost dreaded to see debouching from some alley, a de- tachment of boys, sent by his ancient enemy, the schoo!steacher, to know why he had been playing truant, and to car- ry him to receive the customary wal- lopping. When he was near home, lie said: 'Joe, I wonder if any body's found that old pitcher?' He stooped down, thrust bis arm un- der the stone steps and withdrew the identical piece of earthenware he bad deposited there just four years ago.— Having rinsed and filled it at the pomp he walked into his mother's house, and found her seated in her acoastomel arm chair. She looked at him for minute recognized him, screamed and exclaim ed: 'Why, Bob! where have you been? What have yon been doing?' 'Gettin' that pitcher of water,' an- swered Bob setting it on the table;` 'I always obey orders—you told me to be four years about it, and I have: 41. say, Bill, Jim has been gaged for stealing a horse.' - 'Served him sight. Whj didta't be bay one and not pay for It, - like any other -gentleman 1' WHO 1S GENERAL BURNSIDE? Brigadier General Ambrose Everett Burnside, who has been selected to command a most important expedition against the Southern rebels, was born in liberty, Union county, Indiana, May 23, 1824, and therefore is not quite thinyeight years of age. At the age of eighteen he entered West Point Academy, and graduated in 1847, the fifteenth in a class of forty-seven mem- bers. He was breveted second Lieu- tenant, and the following year was transferred to the Third Artillery, and proceeded to Mexico, where he marched in Patterson's column to the city of Mexico, where he remained untii peace was declared with the United States. On his return to the North he was stationed at Port Adams. In 1849 ho was attatched as first Lieutenant to Captain—now rebel Cioneral—Bragg's battery and was engaged for several years in frontier service in New Mexi- co. In August of that ycar,.in an en- gagement; with the Apache Indians, near Los Vegas, Lientenant Burnside commanded a company of twenty-nine, men, who killed eighteen Indians, and took nine prisoners, and captured forty horses. 1'or the bravery and efficiency displayed on that occasion he was rec- omended to President Filrnore for pro- motion. IIe next served as quartermaster to the commisiion which surveyed the boundary line between the UnitedStates and Mexico- In 1851 he traveled through the Indian territory, twelve hundred miles in soventeea days, with en escort of only tbteo men• He was again stationed at Fort Adapts, New - pert harbor, but shortly alter resigned his commission, fur the purpose of en- gaging in the manufocturo of bleach - loading rifles of his owu invention.— The enterprise proving unprofitable, he wont to Chicago and entered the office of the Illinois Central Rrailroarl Company as Cashier, officiating in the capacity of general superintendent, and subsequently as Vice President. Our hero, after bolding the position of cashier for ton years, was elected trees, urcr. and while holding that position, short's afterrthe war commenced, ho received a telegraphic dispatch from Governor Sprague, of Rhode Island, tendering him the command of the First Rhode I.1and Regiment, of 1,000 men, which had been raised. In the course of an hour after re- ceiving the telegram, he was on his way to Providence. The regiment which be commanded was one of the most prominent in the engagement at Stone Bridge, and the conduct of Col. Burnside, acting al Brigadier General on that occasion, commanded him to the attention of the authorities and on the 6th of August he well appointed a Brigadier General. Bit KIND TO THE AGED.—Age, when whitening for the tomb, is an object of sublimity. The passions have ceased —hopes of self have ceased. They lin- ger with the young, and pray for the young—and oh! how careful should the young be to reward the aged with their fresh warm hearts, to diminish the chill of ebbing life! The Srartans looked upon a reverential respect for old age as a beautiful trait of character. Be kind to those who are in the autumn of life, for thou knowest not what suffering they may have endured, or how much of it may still be their portion. Do they seem unreasonable to find fault or murmur? Allow not thine anger to kindle against them; rebuke them not, for doubtless ninny have been the cross es and trials of their earlier years, and perhaps their dispositions while in the spring time of life were lees flexible than thine own. Do they require aid of thee! then render it cheerfully, for- get not that the time may come when thou mayest desire the same assistance from others that thou tenderest unto them. Do all that is needful for the old, and do it with alacrity, and think it is not hard if much is required at thy hands, lest when age sets its heal on thy brow and tills thy limbs with trem- bling. others may wait unwillingly, and feel relieved when the coffits lid has covered thy taco forever. /PTA very funny incident occurred near Martinsburg. As a general rule, the army has found that many Virgin- ians have deserted, or voluntarily thrown down their arms, alleging that they had no heart in the fight, but were forced to enlist. This is not the case with the Gulf troops, however; they are obsti- nate, and dogged and very bitter. A son of Erin captured one of the "Mis- sissippi Tigers," and, while 'bringing him into camp, the "'Tiger," an im- mense fellow, managed to break and run. The Hibernian disdained to use his musket, but' chased him. At last, seizing him, at it they went, rough and tumble. The "Tiger," maddened by the heavy blows, basely bit him, nearly. severing his thumb. Tho Celt dropped the soldier t'aen, and retaliated is the same style; finally he conquered him after a tremendous punishment, which dislocated his shoulder. The next day he visited the son of tiro "Repudiation State" in the -hospital, and, shaking his well arm with a hearty grip, observed, "I haven't a bit of a grudge against ye; be jabers, ye are almost as good as meaelf." Such is some of the side - play of war' -1V: Y. Timcs. . -. 'The rebel pillow must he stuff -r ed with white feathers. PAss IT ALOSIG.—Yes, pass it along whether you believe it or not—that ons -sided whisper against the character of a virtuous female. You say you don't believe it, but you will use your influence to bear up the false report and pass it on the current. Strange are mankind! How many reputations have been lost by a • surmise! How many hearts have bled by a whisper! How many benevolent deeds have been chilled by a shrug of the shoulder! How many individuals have been shunned by a gentle, mysterious hint! How manychaste bosoms havo been wrung with grief .by a dingle nol!— IIow many esrly_gi ves hrlte laeen dng by a false report! Yet you will pass the slander along; you will keep i above the waters by a wag of you tongue, when you might sink it for- ever. Destroy the passion for telling a tale, we pray you. Lisp not a word that may injure the character of anoth- er. If the female has erred, forgive the past—she has wounds enough without the fangs of slander's tongue. Bo determined to listen to no story that is repeated to the injury of another and as far as you are concerned the slander will die. But toll it once, and it may go as on the wings of the wind —increasing with each breath, till it has circulated through the State, and brought to the grave one who might havo lived and been a blessing to the world. MISTAKES.—The editors of the is of the West furnish the following est attempt at correcting certain rather widespread mistakes: It is a mistake to suppose that th:. subscription price of a paper is clear gain to the publisher. It is a mistake to suppose that he gets his white paper for nothing. It is a mistake to suppose that it 1s printed without cost. It is a mistake to suppose that he can live, bodily, by faith. It is a mistake to suppose that it i easy to. please everybody. It is a. mistake to suppose that ay dun for the paper would be :. good to ns is a year as it would t now. It is a mistrilto to suppose filet would not be thankful for what is us, and for new subscribers. How OUR MORTAItS ARE DISCHARGED —A correspondent of the Chicago Tri- bune thus describes the manner in which the immense Pittsburg mortars being used in the reduction. 2f Island No. 10 aro discharged. He says: "A bag of powder, weighing from eighteen to twenty pounds, is dropped into the bore of the huge monstar; the derrick drops the shell in; the angle is calculated ; a Iong cord is attached to the printer; the captain gives the word, the gunner gives the cord a sudden jerk, a crash like a thousand thunders fol- lows, a tongue of flame leaps frotn the mouth of the mortar and a column of smoke rolls up in beautiful fleecy spi- rals, developing the rings of exquisite proportions. One can see the shell as it leaves the mortar, flying through the air, apparently no larger than a mar- ble. The next yeti see of the shell, a beautiful cloud of smoke bursts into sight, caused by the explosion." A QUAKER PATRIOT.—The following occurred not long since, in the Quaker town of Richmond, Indiana: A wealthy Quaker, whose four bean tiful horses were the admiration of the place, was asked to aid pecuniarily in the formation of a regiment of cavalry. He replied, 'Friend, thee knowest that I cannot give thee Money or horses for war—war is wickd—but as for my four horses, it is true that two will serve my needs; and, friend, 1 will say, that my stable door is not locked; and if I see thea on one of my homes, and thy friend James on another, I will keep peace to wards Lolls." Tho stable door was found unlotked, and the Quaker did not go before the magistrate when two of his fine horses were missing. A GALLANT EXPLOIT AT ISLAND No. TEN.—During the storm on the night of the 2nd instant, Lieut. Col. Roberts, of tho 42d Illinois, with fifty picked men of his command, in cempany with a boats crew from each gunboat nnder command of first master Johnson, of the St. Louis, started at 11 o'clock to take soundings. At 12 they brought up at the upper battery, where they landed. The rebel sentinels fired their pieces and ran in, leaving the b Ittery in our possession. Col. Roberts' men spiked all the guns, six in number, one of them a 62 pounder—others 24s and 32s. These guns had all been mounted during the last three days. The expe- dition returned safely, not a man hav- ing received a scratch.

'Hold !' s id theclergyman; 'my dearly beloved brethren, let me address to yon only five words.' In the meantime, he divested him - self of his robes and rushing to the door, he exclaimed, 'Now, my brethren let Os all start fait!'

The Death Warrant Anthony Martel was a brave young soldier as ever bore arms on the battle field. He was an almost universal fa- vorite in his regiment. He loved his country, and a maiden, Cadaline, who was considered the prettiest in Nisselle, and many were the hearts that beat with love and joy when the fair Cada- line turned her beautiful eyes upon them, and returned their salutations with a winning smile. There was not a soldier in the whole Regiment, but would have been proud to have shed his last drop of blood to resent an in- sult to the bright star of Nisselle.-- 1lnny were they who worshipped at her shrine, but there was only one that re- ceised a return to bis passion, and that was Anthony Martel. The Colonel of the regiment to which he belonged was a man of violent pale cions, insolent and overbearing in the extreme to his subordinates; and:was as universally hated as Martel was loved. On several occasions be had made in- famous prorosal to Cadaline, which she had resented in scorn, but still he be- came importunate, until finding himself baffled in all his endeavors he deter- mined to adopt a new procedure, hop - 'ng to be more successful in his designs Accordingly he called ou Cadaline, and made a apology for his former rude- ness, and asked for forgiveness, which teas readily given, presuming that he would trouble her no farther; but in this she was disappointed; for he imme- liatcly made new overtures of love to ter, promising if she would listen to his suit ho would load her with pres- ents, and al,o make her his lawful bri le. But all these flattering inducements rad no effect upon her, for she was true to her first love. Consider, Cadaline, my rank and station, and then your position would he higher than the proudest Indy in our village, besides, the attendants and all the luxury and refinement that wealth eau furnish. 'Ah, Colonel Lavillier, what would all those gifts bo without a heart?' said Cadaline. 'You would soon learn to love nee,' said the Colonel. 'No, Colonel, we can never love but once.' ''Then why not love me ?' 'Because I already love another.' 'Indeed, my fair charmer,' said the Colonel, ironically, 'may I be permitted to know the name of the gallant.' 'Anthony Martel,' was the innocent reply. 'What, a comrnon soldier—a hire- ing for a rieal? My heaven!' he ex- claimed, in a terrible passion, 'unless you instantly except my suit, and reject the beggarly churl, I will have him shot like a dog for audacious prosump ion, and I will give you but a mo- nent to decide his fate.' '011, sir!' exclaimed Cadaline, he is guilty of no crime; he has never injurs ed yon.' 'Has he not dared to supplant a Col- onel in the French army, and he is only a soldier.' 'Nay, Colonel Lavillier, I loved him are I saw you Ile is generous, noble, and will injure no one.' 'Do not lose -time in idle words; consent to be mine, or ere the morning sun has risen, hie heart shall cease to beat!' 'Oh, Heavens! spare him,' said Cad - aline, in anguish. 'Yon plead in vain.' 'Give me but a single day to decide.' 'Not an hour.' At this moment a majestic form cast 'ts shadow in the outer doorway. 13nt it was observed by neither of the per- sons in the room, so absorbed wore they in their own affairs. Stepping aside, so as to be unseen, the stranger remained a spectator of nil. `1 implore you to let me speak to Anthony before I give you an answer.' 'Not a word to him; therefore in- stantly become my bride or sign the death warrant of Martel.' 'Inhuman monster! I would rather die a thousand deaths than he your wife —even were yon:the proud Emperor of France. Anthony fears not the death, and he would rather give away his life than have me prove false to him: 'Mad girl! yon are in my power, I will use you as I please, since you have so insultingly spoken.' 'Never!' 'Dare you defy me to my face? Thus let me prove my words by snatching a breath of the sweet fragrance of your scornful lips.' And clasping his arms around the form of Cadaline, he endeavored to put his threat into execution. 'Help, mercy!' exclaimed she. At this moment the report of a pis- tol in the hands of the stranger we have before mentioned, was heard, and the bullet shattered the arm of the agrees. or, rendering him powerless. But whence came the shot both were una- ble to tell, for no sooner was the weap- on discharged than the deliverer disap- peared, and Anthoay Martel rushed in- to the room by another door. Observ- ing the wild appearance of Cadaline, breaking from the Colonel, in an in- stant he divined the whole, and with a powerful blow laid,the intruder at his feet. By this time the report of fire arms had brought a detachment of soldiers to the spot, who, on entering the room, where immediately ordered to afloat Anthony, for attempting to murder his superior officer. In vain Cadaline pro- tested his innocence—they put him hi- der strong guard. On the following morning an unusu- al activity among the officers told that something of more than ordinary im• portance was to take place, as each one hastened to the quarters of the come mandant. Though a court martial is not an unusual thing, yet is sufficiently rare to attract attention in camp. Soon the quick roll of the drum told that the court had convened, and was ready to try a criminal. Within a spa- cious tent were gathered a number of officers in full uniform. Seated on a raised platform was General Lovick, acting as judge. Another roll of the drum announced the prisoner. 'Of what is this man charged?' ask- ed the judge. 'For attempting to destroy the life of his superior officer, Colonel Lavillier,' said the advocate. 'And where is the accuser?' continu- ed the court. 'Here, may it please your excellency; replied the Colonel, whose arm was done np in a sling. 'How came Martel to attempt your life?' 'I know not,' said Lavillier. 'What provoked the insult?' 'A conversation with a young gill with whom the prisoner is acquainted.' 'Is that all?' 'It is your excellency.' After a short conversation with the other officers, the judge turned to the prisoner, and thus addressed him: 'Anthony Martel, you have been found guilty of an attempt to murder a superior officer in tho French army; the punishment is death. What have yon to say that you should not suffer the extreme penalty of the law which you have offended?' Martel, who stood as though uncon- scious till now, raised his manly form; he bent his eye searchingly upon the Colonel, and said in a firm voice: 'Your excellency, I am aware that any vindication which I may make, will be of no avail; but being permitted I will speak the truth, I ata innocent of the charge brought against me. I did not fire upon Colonel L'Ivillier, and had no weapon when arrested. 'At the moment I entered the dwell- ing of Cadaline, I found her struggling in his arms. I stopped not to enquire his rank, but struck him with my doubled fist to the floor. This is all I done, and had it been the Emperor himself in his place, I should have done likewise. For the duty of the true sol- dier is to protect the innocent and de- fenseless. I am willing to die—but my death will not go unavonged, for the grass will not have covered my grave before my comrades shall have found the heart of my Murderer, for there is not one that will shrink when the hour comes. I am ready—pass your sen- tence.' 'Martel, your language does not be- come a man who is on the threshold of eternity .' 'Truth becomes a man at all times,' replied Anthony. Colonel Lavillier, during the tirne that the prisoner was speaking seemed greatly excited, and turned pale; he knew that Martel is as a great favorite with the regiment, and he knew that his life was in danger. 'Anthony Martel,' said the judge"the sentence of the court is, that you die to• morrow at sunrise, and that you be shot by twelve of your comrades.' Again the roll of the drum told that the case had been decided, and they were about to conduct the prisoner to his quarters, when a young girl rushed past the guard into the teut, and pros- trated herself at the feet of the presid- ing officer, and exclaimed: 'Ile is innocent ! spare him! he did not shoot Cul. Lavillier: As the tears flowed down her beau- tiful face, every heart was touched with pity, save one. He stood unmoved by her applications. The judge informed her that it was impossible for him to alter the sentence of the court, and that the only hope that was left her was in Colonel Lavillier, who was the injured party, who had power to ask for his pardon or recommend him to mercy. In vain Cadaline plead with him; ho was inexorable, and she was borne senseless from the tent. On the following morning, a little before surise, some soldiers were busily engaged in placing red flags at short intervals on a beautiful plain not far from the camp. No sooner had this been accomplished than the sound of a muffled drum and a band playing the dead march was heard. A company of eoldiers drew near, accompanied by a large number of officers, who came to witness the punishment of death.— Anthony Martel was walking with a firm step to meet his doom! Arriving at the spot designated for him to die, he was calm and uumoved at the ap- proaching crisis. Twelve of his fellow soldiers were brought into line. Eve- ry movement showed their unwilling- ness to perform the odious duty -which had been assigned them. All being arranged, the commandant walked up to Martel, and taking him by the hand shook it warmly. Bidding him farewell, he gave him permission to address his companion in arms.— This rmsThis mark of kindness moved the con- demned man, and a tear started in his eye, but quickly regaining his compo- sure, hs addressed those who were about to lay him low in death. 'Comrades, I have come here to die like ft man and a soldier. I am guil- ty of no crime; I have never dishonor- ed my country or m; regiment; I have fought by your side in the thickest of the battle, *hen the guns of the enemy poured hot lead into onr ranks, and swept our brave countrymen like chaff before the whirlwind. But you can af- firm that I did not ggail or falter when the grim monster stared me in the face. And should I tremble now when I ai to die by the hands of my beloved com- radea I No! I consider it an honor, and the last sound that will ever greet my ears. will be die glorious dying mu- sic of your own true guns as I fall. I know that you will not suffer my ashes to go unavenged. t not your hands tremble, bat with -steady aim, level yourpiecesat m � 1, give y sae , when I gi e the word fire, for I would have the mark of every man if you love me — Comrades, farewell, and may we all meet where the warrior rests from his battles and victories.' The soldiers brought their pieces to their shoulders, but stopped suddenly as the frantic Cadaline rushed into the arms of her lover. 'Oh, Anthony! Anthony! you must not dio; Col. Lavillier will have mercy; be cannot be eo cruel as to murder you.' 'Cadaline, there is no hope. I am prepared to die, but this meeting un- nerves me. I could have wished yon had been spared this scene, but calm yourself, and do not weep when I am gone. You vain not want for defenders, for my regiment will go hard with him who dares to offer an insult to Cada- line, be his rank what it may.' 'Commandant,' said Col. Lavillier, in an impatient tone. 'It is past the time ordered for the oxecetion; sepa- rate them and perform your duty.? Wide great difficulty ,Cadaline was torn from the embrace of Martel. The word ready was given and quick• ly followed by the second command aim, and the third and last fatal word, fire, was on the lips of the command- ant, when a stern voice from a person who stood a short distance apart, close- ly muffled np, gave the commend to recover arms. So sudden was the order that every eye was turned to the person who bad thus dared unceremoniously to sons - mend an order on so important an oc- casion. 'Order that man under arrest,' said Colonel Lavillier. As the person approached rapidly to whore he stood, throwing the cloak from his face, the astonished officer be- held Field Officer McDonald. 'Will Colonel Lavillier inform inc of what crime the culprit suffers!' 'For an attempt upon my life with a pistol,' was the answer. 'Are You sure he is the "guilty one?' 'Yes.' 'Will you not pardon him?, 'It bas been decided by conte mar- tial that he shall die.' 'Still you have the same power to pardon him.' 'I decline all interference in the course of justice. 'I do not,' said McDonald, 'I there- fore stop the execution. Anthony Mar- tel is not guilty.' e 'Msy I ask your excellency who is the guilty one,' asked Lavillier, with an uneasy air. 'I am,' said McDonald. 'Will please explain to me this rays" tory?' 'I will. ;laving business of impor- tance with you on the evening of the assault, 1 called at your headquarters and found you not. On inquiry, I learned the direction you had taken, and followed in pursuit. Finding you had entered Cadaline's cottage, I arrived just in time to be an unobserved wit- ness of your villainy and the ball which only shattered your arm, was fired by me, and had it not been for endanger- ing the life of the girl, it should have reached your heart. Colonel Martel, I greet you in behalf of you, Emperor, to whom I have related your case, and wbo has been pleased to confer this ti- tle and honor upon you. Colonel La. villier, your sword; henceforth yon are no longer an officer in the grand army, and now take Martel's place, and re- ceive the guns, that a moment since were aimed at the breast of an innocent man. Every heart beat with joy at this sudden change. Poor Lavillier, trem- bling with far and shame, was led to the red flag. Again the fearful orders were given, bat the heart ;of the cul- prit sank within him, and he implored for mercy. 'How can you ask for that which a few moments ago you refused an inno- cent man? 'I own my fault,' was the reply. 'Then I refer yon to Colonel Martel, who has full power to pardon you or not, as he thinks proper,' said McDon• ald. 'Colonel Martel,' said the disgraced officer, 'dare I hope for mercy?' 'I grant you full and unconditional pardon. Yon vre at liberty,' was the willidg reply of Martel, 'and don't for. get to show mercy thatyon may receive the same.' By this time Cadaline heard the gladsome tidings which spread rapidly through the camp, and hastily retun- ing, she was soon in his warm embrace The day strife a glorione one to tbe reg- iment, and there was a grand celebra- tion given in honor of Field Marshall McDonald sad Colonel Martel. In the course of a few weeks after this event, the church of Nisselle over• flowed with those assembled to witness the nuptials of Martel and his lovely bride, Cadaline Dupes. And may were the !little presents and keepsakes the pair received from the regiment, wbo loved their brave and generous commander. • A FORTUNATE KISS. The following pretty story is narra- ted by Frederik, Bremer, who vouches for its truthfulness: In the University of Upsula, in Sweden, lived a young student, a noble youth, with a great love for studies, but without the means of pursuing them. Still he studied, Iiving in great poverty, bat keeping up a cheerful heart, and trying to look at the future, which looked so grimly at him. Isis good humor and excellent qualities made him beloved by his young com- rades. One day he was standing with some of them in the great square of Upsula, prattling away an hour of leisure, when the attention of the young men became arrested by a young and elegant lady, who, at the side of an elderly one, was slowly walking over the place. It was the only daughter of the Governor of Upland, living in the city, and the lady with ber was her governess. She was generally known for her goodness and gentleness of char- acter, and looked upon with admiration by all the young students. As the young men stood gazing at her, she paseed on like a graceful vision, one of them soddenly exclaimed: 'Well, it would be worth something to have a kiss from such a mouth!' The poor student, the hero of our story, who looked on that pure angelic face, exclaimed, as if by inspiration: 'Well, I think I could have it !' 'What 1' cried his friends in a chorus 'are you crazy?' 'Do you know her?' 'Not at all !' he answered; 'but I think she would kiss me now if I ask- ed her.' 'What! in this place—before all onr eyes ?' 'In this place, before your eyes.' 'Freely?' 'Freely: 'Well, if she will give yon a kiss in that manner, I will give yon a thous- and dollars!' exclaimed one of the par- ty. 'And I,—and I,' exclaimed three or four others; for it so happened that several rich gentlemen were in tho group, and the bets ran high on so im- probable an event. The challenge was made and received in less time than we can take to tell it. Our hero (my friend tells me not whether he -seas handsome or plain; I have my peculiar ideas for believing that he was plain, but singularly goods looking at the same time,) immediate- ly walked off to the young lady and said: 'Moine Fraulein, my fortune is) now in your hands.' She looked at him in astonishment, but arrested her steps. He proceeded to state hes name and condition, his as- pirations, and related simply and truly, what had just now passed between him and his companions. 'If by so little a thing so much good can be effected, it would foolish for me to refuse your request;' and publicly, in the open square, she kissed him. Next day the student was sent for by the Governor, He wanted to see the man who dared to seek a kiss from his daughter is that way, and whom she had consented to kiss so. He received him with a scrutinizing bow, but, after an hour's conversation, he was so pleas- ed with him that he ordered him to dine ut Lis table during his studies at Upsnla. Three years were now passed since the day of the first kiss, when the young man was allowed to give the second one to the dangther of the Governor, as his intended brido. Ile became Latter ono of the greatest scholars in Sweden, and as much re- spected for his acquirements as his character.

Elremnis.—G straight ght on, and don't mind them; if they get in your way, walk around them regardless of their spite. A man who has no enemies is seldom good for anything; he is made of that kind of material which is eo ea- sily worked that every one has a band in it. A sterling character is one who thinks for himself, and speaks what he thinks : he is always sure to have ones mies. They are as necessary to him as fresh air. They keep him alive and active. A celebrated character, who was anrrouoded by enemies, used to re- mark : "They are sparks which, if you do not blow, will go out by themselves! 'Live down prejudice," was the iron Duke's motto.

Let the poor fellow talk.— There will be a reaction if you perform your duty, and hundreds whe were once alieneated from you will flock to you and acknowledge their error. "NO ROOM FOR LOAFERS." These words recently met our eyes as we passed a workshop in this oity.— "No room for loafers." Sure enough, there ie no room for loafers anywhere in this working world. They are not wanted in the busy workshop or in the editor's sanctum; they are a nuisance iu tam country store, spitting and spewing about the stove, and at the post office are in everybody's way. They are fors ever out of place—except when in the almshouse or jail. A dead weight up- on society, they are a hindrance and a bore. They form no part of nature's plan; it abhors them as it does a vacu- um. While all the world around them is going forward, they are standing still, or rather gliding imperceptibly backward into seedy vagabondism.— a'loafer soon grows rusty. It is only use which keeps our faculties bright, and the idle man gets dull, stupid and muddy -headed . Yet some of these fellows seem to think very well of themselves. You will eee them strutting along the sunny Bide of the street, lounging at corners, banging about the doors of hotels, or at the entrance to the theater, with fine clothes upon their backs, and a well - satisfied smirk upon their cauntenance. The poor creatures look down upon a working man as a being of inferior or- der. No doubt the drone affects to des- pise the busy bees—until they are driv en from the hive to starve, while the workers feast upon the honey. A loaf- er setting himself above the man who labors with his hands! Why, he is as far beneath him as, in the order of ere- ation, the sloth is beneath the common horse, A young mechanic, in his work- ing dress, and with his tools in his hands, is every way a more agreeable object than the best dressed loafer in ex- istence. There is always room for him. Ile is never out of place, fur he is kee- ping step with the movement of the universe. He bas an aim, a purpose, and he stands for something. Itis fac- ulties are trained to use, and he is of 'c ilue to the world for what he can do. The skilled workman is to the idle man what the manufactured article is to the raw material. He has an addi- tional value above that of mere man- hood. A Scars AT REVIEW.—There was a beautiful instance of fine horsemanship displayed at a Targe review held at Vi- enna, upon the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the military order of Maria Theresa, when some tairty thousand cavalry were in line. A little child in the front row of the spsctators,become frightened, rushed forward, just as a squadron of hussars were charging at full tilt—sweeping down with maddening velocity, almost on the child. Terror paralysed alike the spectators and the mother of the child, while the lovely and amiable Empresa almost fainted with horror, for the child's destruction seem- ed inevitable. The little one was un- der the horses' feet—another instant would have sealed its doom—when a hussar, without lessening his speed or loosening his hold, threw himself along hie horse's neck, and seizing the child, placed it in safety in front of his saddle, without so mush as changing the pace or breaking the alignment in the least. A hundred thousand voices hailed with pride and joy the deed, while two voices could but sob their gratitude—the one a mother's, the oth- er that of her sympathising Em- press. A proud moment that must have been for the hussar, when his Em• peror, taking the enamelled cross of merit, attached it to his breast—a proud monument alike for the sover- eign and the man.—London Paper. A FEARLESS DUTCHMAN.—After the battle of Mill Spring, our soldiers en- tered the rebel fortifications, and ono of the first discovered a barrel which pro- ved to contain apple brandy. Pulling ont the corncob from the bung hole, he turned it up and filled a cantesn.— While doing this one of Bob McCook's skirmishers came in, and says: "Vot you gets there?" The soldier replied that it appeared to be pretty fair apple brandy, upon which the dutchman ran to the door, calling out, furiously: "Hans) Henrickl schnaps! see, come a roust"" upon which a dozen dutch. men came in, and the brandy which was not spoiled upon the ground, was soon transferred to their canteens. "Boys," said the soldier, "you bad better look out; this is a doctor shop, and there may be strychnine in that brandy." They paused a moment to look at each other, when one of them exclaim- ed: - "Py Got, Hans, I tell you vat I do; I trinks some, and if it don't kill me, den you trinke!' Upon which he took a long and hearty pull at his canteen, and smacking his lips a moment, said: "All right, Hans, go ahead." And they did go ahead, and in a few minutes the cask was empty. MirIn order to amuse the children - on the Sabbath, a lady was engaged, recently, reading to them in the Bible, the atony of David and.

It is in those relations, obligations, and duties of practical, every day living, which affect our personal character for knowledge, integrity and virtue. As the highest glory of the great God is in the fact, that he is practically good iu all the re- lations of hie government and provi- dence, so the greatest possible excel- lence is in that which makes a man Godlike—simple, practical goodness in all the relations of living. Having this element of life, the less noise he makes about il, and the more effect be gives to it, the better.

There were five of us--syes, fire es happy fellows as ever were let loose from college. It was a "vacation," and we concluded to take a trip to the Falls. We got aboard tbo cars at N-----, and were soon traveling very rapidly toward our deetination. We had just seated onrselves and prepared for s comfortable smoke, when in came the concluder, and who ‘hould be be but our old friend, Fred. B---. After the common saints. times had passed, Fred. said he had some business for us to attend to. 'Ont with it old said ra. 'anything at all will bo acceptable—so let us have it.' 'Well boys,' said Fred., in a very confidential tone, 'in that next car there is as loving 1 pair as it was ever my let to see. They are going down to A— to get married, and now if yon can have any fun over it, just pitch in. They must be eared for, and I don't know who can do it atter than yon.' In a moment Fred. was gone, and we set onr heads together to form a plan for taking care of the lovers. '1 have it boys,' said Bill Salvers; 'we must make that girl believe that her lover is married— 'That's it Bill.—that's it, we said, not giving him time to finish.' 'That he's married and the father of children,' said Bill. 'That's the game boys, and now let us play it.' It devolved upon me to commence operations. Accordingly, I entered the cur in which wo wore informed the lovers were, and sure enough, there they sat, in real lover's style. All this I gathered at a glance.— Stepping up to them, I said: 'Why, Mr. Jones, what in the deuce are you doing ;vitt) this girl?' 'See here stranger,' said th3 fellow, 'you're a little mite mietaken, my name aint Jones.' 'Why, Jones,' said I, 'you certainly have not forsaken your wife and child- ren, and tried to palm yourself off for a single man, have you!' el tell you my name aint Jones; its Harper; it never was Jones, and aint agoin' to be nether.' I merely shook my head and passed on to a seat so as to see the rest of the fun. The girl looked wild after I sat down; but Jones alias Helper, soon convinced her that I was mistaken. About the time they got to feeling right well again in came Elliott Gregg. Walking op to Harper he sai,l: 'Why Jones, you heret How did yon leave you wife and babies?' 'Now look hese, stranger, yon (lint the fust man that's called me Jonas to- day, and I recken that I must look an fully like him; but my name abet Jones, and you inusn't call me Jones. aint got no wife and babies, outlier, but this gal and I is a goin' to splice, and then you can talk about my wife, and I wouldn't wonder bat what, in the course of time, you might talk about the babies too.' This retort brought forth vociferous laughter froto the spectators, and it also brought blushes to the face of the girl, that was 'goin' to get spliced.' 'Ab, Jones,' raid Gregg, you will regret this in future. I pity your wife and children and this poor girl.' 'So, Mr Harper, your real name is Jones, is it, an' you've been fooling me have you? Well, we eirt spliced yet, and I don't think wo will be very soon,' said the girl, an I hcr eyes fairly dished fire. lane, Jane,' said he 'don't you know I'm Bill Harper? Thar aint a darned drop of Jones blood in me.' At this moment tha other boys came in, and their attention was drawn to Harper by his load talking. They stepped tip to him and said: 'Jones, what's all this fuss about?' This was more than Harper could stand. He leaped npon a seat. 'Now.' said he, 'my name aint Jones and I can lick any feller that says 11 18.' By this time we had got to A and our friend Fred. came in and made Harper keep quiet. The girl got aboard the train returning to N—, and the notorious Harper alias Jones, fol. lowed her. We afterwards learned that he satisfactorily proved himself to.be Bill Harper, and he and his 'gal' Jane, 'got epliced: • s•s-- Love 01 TIM COUNTRY.—A young man of a religious and sentimental turn of mind became desperately enamored with a yellowsheired girl. But as fate would have it she did not reciprocate, and he mourned, with a sad heatt, an unrequited love. On one occasion af- ter be had been nusuccestfully 'labor- ing' with tha object of his heart's desire he drew himself up in all the beauty of Lis faultless mein, with s dignity very unusual for him, and with eyes flashing the ardent love w;Ihia him, surveyed the yellow -haired laesie from foundatfon t3 pinnacle. Then, raising his optics heavenwayd, he said iu a voice broken with emouou, while the brine incleed down his manly cheeks: 'In i1' lengusge of onr beloved Save ior, Oh, Anunaly Jane, 'how often would I have gathered ye together as a ben gathereth her brood under her wings, but ye would not!'

A friend told me tot lo*g ago, a beautiful story about kind words. A gold icily riving in one cf our large cities, was ps•sing a drinking saloon jest as the keeper was thrusting a young man oat into the NMI He was very young and very pale, but bis haggard foes and wild eyes told that he was very far gone in the road to ruin, as with oaths hebrandished his clench- ed fists, threatening to be revenged upon the man who had eo ill-used him. This poor young nom wee so excited 1 and blikad with passion that he did not see the lady, who stood very near to him, until she laid her hand upon his arm, and spoke in her gentle, lov- ing voice, asking him what was the matter. At the first kind words the young man started es though a heavy blow had struck him, and turned quickly round, paler than before, and trembl- ing from head to foot. He -surveyed the lady for a momeut. and then, with a sigh of relief, he said: thought it was my mother's voice, it sounded so strangely like it! But her voice bas been hushed in death for many yearn. 'You bad a mother, then,' said the lady, 'and sho loved you?' 'Arith a sudden revolution of feeling which often comes to people of fine nervous temperaments, the young man buret into tears, sobbing out, '0! yes, I had an angel mother, and she loved her boy! But since she died all the world has been against me, and 1 am lost—lost to good society, lost to hon- or, lost to decency, and lost forever!' 'No, not lost forever; for God is merciful and his pitying love can reach the chief of sinners, said the lady, in her low, sweet voice; and the timely words swept the hidden chorda of feele ing whish had been long untouched in the young man's heart, thrilling it with magic power, and wakening a host of tender emotions', which had been buried very deep beneath the rub- bish of sin and crime. More gentle words the lady spoke, and when she passed on her way the young man followed her. He marked the house which she entered, and wrote the name which ;vas on the silver door, plata in his little memorandum book. Then be walked slowly limey, with a deep earnest look upon hie white face, and deeper, more earnest feeling in bis aching heart. Yeare glided by, and the gentle lady had quite forgotten the incident we have related, when one dny a stranger sent up his card, and desired to speak with her. Wonder* much who it could be, she went deem to the prior, where she fouad a noble looking, well-dressed man, who rose deferentially to meet her. Holding out his hand, he said: 'Pardon me madam, for this intru- sion; but I have come many miles to thank you for the great service you rendered me a few years ago,' said be in a trembling voice.' The lady was puzzled, and asked for an explanation, as she did not remem- ber ever having seen the gentleman be- fore. have change] so mach,' said the Young man, 'that you do not know me, but though I only saw your face once, I am sure 1 honi have recognized it anywhere. And your voice, too. -.k is so like my mother sr Thoselest words made the lady re- member the poor young man she had kindly spoken to in front of the drink - big saloon so long before, and she mingled hot tears with those which were falling slowly over the man's cheeks. After the first grill of emotion had subsided, the gentleman sat down and tali the lady how those few gentle words had been instrumental in saving him, and making him what ho was. 'The earnest expression of 'No, not lost forever,' followed mo wherever I went,' said he, 'and it always seemed that was the voice of my mother speak- ing from the tomb. I repented of my many transgressions, and resolved to live as Jesus and my mother would be pleased to have me; and by the mercy and grace of God I have been enabled to resist temptation, and keep my good resolutions.' never dreamed there was such power in a few words before,' exclaimed the lady, 'and snrely ever ater this 1 shall take more pains to speak them to all the sad and suffering ones I meet in the walks of life.—From "Sunny Facts." *80 NOT SANOTLFIED.—A traitor Melba. dist preacher, who married in Hartford county, Maryland, recently fled from Virginia and returned to Hartford.— Having eccasion to visit the store of a Quaker in tha neighborhood, our divine began to utter treasonable sentiments Drab -cloth could not stand IL 'Thee shall not talk so in my store,' said the FriAid; 'thee shall go out of my store, or 1 will pat the out, end Ahead; thee arterward.a 'I thought,' said the preacher, 'Que. kers didu't fight' 'Sanctified Qnakers do not fight' said Broadbrim, 'but -I.am sot sanctified, and thee meat go oat.'

Tile latter operation, sly boy, has produced much profanity, especially among the Chaplains. Speaking of Chaplains, reminds me of a reverend vetrean who attended to the son' of a high state of preserva- tion. Capt. Bob. Shorty rashly over- estimated his power of endurance, sod undertook to read Fremont'. defence. When he got to the twenty-first column he was seized with vertigo, and only recovered to find himself taking the measure of a besdstead, with a chap- lain standing by him. 'My hiend,' says the parson, '1 con- sider it my day to tell yon that you are very sick man, and I take this op- portunity to remind you of your latter end.' Capt. Bob. Shorty scratched his bead, and says he: 'Asn I bound tor the kingdom?' 'Yon may recover, says the chap- lain, 'but now is the time to settle your wordly affairs if you don't. Think of your wife and progeny.' 'My wife!' says Capt. Bob Shorty, hysterically. 'Ali! there's a woman for you!' 'Is she a worthy help -mate says the chaplain. 'Why,' says Capt.Bob ri',erty, 'she's mate and ceptain both in my ship.— She's frngal—neat, and she's got only one fault in tba werld: 'Ahl' etys f; apt. Bob Shorty, dream- ily, 'my eeee's got only one fault in the world—she likes another chap bet- ter then she does me.' At this juncture, my boy, tbo chap- lain was seized with a severe cough; but as soon as he recovered he assumed a very graceful expression, and says he: 'My friend. let me beseech you to forget worldly things for a moment, and think of something more needs ful.' 'Drive on,' says Capt. Bob Shorty. The chaplain gave a grovious sniff, and says: 'Is there not eomething above all created things thst yon fee! in need of now? Suppose, my friend, that you were at sea in a terrible storm, with the thunder roering, the lightning flashing, and the rain falling in torrents ell around yon, what weald von do to make yourself peaceful!' 'Yon say the rain is falling in torrents? up Captain .Bob Shorty. 'Yes, verily,' says ths chaplain. 41 thrill,' says Capt. Bob Shorty. reflectively, 'I think I should call for an embroils and eomething hot.' Upon hearing this beautiful answer, my boy, the chaplain buried his face in his hands. 'So shonld I,' he murmured, should I.' Depend upon it, my boy, there is a bond of sympathy between all mon, that difference of education or circum- stances can sever; and when some nice touch of Nature 030Re8 it to contract. it seldom fails to bring men together on the common platform of whiaky hot. Base TOUR MOUTH Sum—This curt injnnction is oftener given than follow• ed, where it refers to what mny come out of the mouth, but it seams to be of weed value, regarding what may go into the mouth. It is said that by keep ing the month shut, a person can sleep in any materiel:3s region, and mingle with any outdoor infection almost with impunity. Had it been practiced ear- lier, it would probably have saved in- numerable lives. This is the experienes of several no- ted travelers, Catlin, Lewis and Living- stone. The Indians also understood this well. Taught by their mothers in infancy, no one has ever beheld an In- dian sleeping with his mouth open, as is common in civilized life. Even the animals—Natures own fol- lowers—keep their month closed. Ob- serve any of them, and see if you can discover one witb its month wide open in sleep. The principle seems to be, that air, by passing through the delicate inner glands of the nose becomes purified— as it were, strained of its noxious properties and snimalculre-'and sup- plies the longs with healthy food, while with the month wide epee, these impu- rities go directly to the lungs and work out their deadly ends. 410. atir People who go oat of cherub before the benediction, ought to have the old Scotch clergyman of whom this story is told to speak to them.— The ancient reverend bed i -rt raised his hand to give the parting blessing, when the no%e cf he eseaping multi- tude attracted his attention, and dis- turbed the quiet of the church. Quietly opening his eyes, ho thus addressed the doorkeeper, and effectually stopped the practice for that day at any ratet-e "And now, John, open tho dom. and let all these cursed people, whe don't want tha biasing, retire(' NO. 41. THE TREADMILL OF LIFE. A good, honest sinal once said that "all she wanted when she got to heaveni was to put on a clean apron and sit still." After all, the idea is more profound than funny. There are times in every housekeeper's life ndion this would be the embodiment of Paradise. When the head throbs with planning, contriving and directing; when every bone aches in the attempt to carry the programme into sneoeasful execution; when, having done one's issat to draw to a focus all the infinites- imal cobweb thread. of careful man- agement, some new emergency is horn of every last attempt, till every nerve and muscle cries one with the old wom- an, for heaven and a clean 'pion! Of course after a period of care and we ob- tain rest, thin earth .seems after all a very nice -e to stay in; but while the fit luta, ao victim of unstumessful love, or of sea sickness, is more deserving of that which neither ever gets---heart- felipity. It is well that 11 15 not the prevailing feeling, else bow could we all toll and moil, as we do, day after day, for six feet of earth to engulf it all at last. It is. well that to painstak- ing mothers and delving fathers, earth seems so real. Were it not so, the wheel of this world would stick fast, of COM*. The men would hang themselves be - cense there were three hundred and eixty-five days in a year, and every morning of all these days they must bnttcn their shirt wristbands The wo- men, would think of nine children and one at the bi east, and every one to be worried through the measles, scarlet -fe- ver, chicken -pox and whooping -cough, whilst Bridget and Betty would incon- tinently drown themselves at the never ending succession of breakfasts, din- ners aud snppers, to be gobbled up by people coustantly ringing tho bell for "more." Heaven and a clean epron! the ides is delicious. Let us hope the old woman got it.—Fanny Fern. tag -leery Ward Beecher evidently likes a fast horse better than a slow one as may be seen from his remarks on fast horses after a recent ride he had with Bonner, behind the latter. splen- did trotters: It is easier and pleasanter for some horses to go tweleve miles an hour than for others to go three. They were made so. Does it hurt a swallow to go swiler than an ox!

Take a fine fed horse, who. in har- em. looke as if be were a pattern of moderation, a very deacon of hobriety, and turn him loose in a pasture.— Whew, what a change! He takes one or two steps slowly, just to be sure that yon have let go of him, and with n sqneal he lets fly his heels high in the air. till the ma flashes from his polish- ed shoes, and then, off he goes, faster and fiercer, clear across the lot, WI the fenen brings him tip. And then, his eye flasEug, his mane lifted and swel- ling,,his tall up like a king's scepter, he snorts a d:dance to you from afar; and With a series of' rem ings, running sideway*, pawing. and plunginge, frisk- ings and whirls, he starts again, with immense enjoyment, into another round of ruining. Do yon not see that it ia more than fun! It is entacy. It is horse rapture! I never see such a spectacle that I am not painfully impressed with the inhumanity of not letting horses run. Fastness is a virtue. Oar mistaken moderation is depriving him of it. I drive fast on principle. I do it for the sake of being at one with nature. To drive slow, only and always, is to treat a home as if he were an ex. You may be slow if you think proper. But your horse shonld:be kept up to Delete.

DODGING THZ HATTRA.—An individ- nal purchased e bat in a shop kept by A tradesman by the name of Dodgin.— The artiele was got in the absence of the proprietor, and the purchaser left the shop, entirely forgetting—by mis- take, of ootwee—to pay for the afore- said "tile." The tradesman, upon hearing the facts, started in pursuit of the delinquent. Upon overhauling biro the following scene occurred: "See here, I wish to speak to you." I haven't time."

A SfORZL SZNTIXF.L.—An anecdote is related of one of the citizen soldiers in the expedition of the 'Macpherson Blues" against the insurgents in 1794, which is worthy of being reoordered. as it may be of service to some of the wealthy soldiers in our own ranks. The 'moon referred to was a Ger. man by birth, by the name of KOCh, and was well known in his day, as a largo ontdoor underwriter. He died some twenty years since in Paris, whither he had gone for the benefit of the climate, leaving a fortune estimated at one million dollars. Mr. Koch, then a young math was a private in the Meet:arm Blues. It fell to bit fat one night to be stationed sentinel over a baggage wagon. The weather was eold, raw, stormy and wet. This sat the sentivel musing. After remaining on post half an hoar, he was heard calhng lustily: 'Corporal of der Gnarts1 Corporal of der Guartstr The corpora came, and inquired what was wanting. Koch wished to be relieved a few minutes, having something to eay to Macpherson. He was gratified, and in a few minutes stood in the presence of the general. 'Well, Mr. Koch, what is your pleas - wet' asked Macpherson. 'Why, general, I wish to know what may be der value of dat wagon over which I am shentinel I' 'How should I know, Koch?' 'Well, something approximative— not to be barticular.' 'A thousand dollars, perhaps.' 'Very wel!, Genera!

RULIS FOR 11031Z EDUCATION.—Tho following are worthy of being printed in letters of gold, and being placed in every household : 1. From your children's earliest infancy, inculcate the necessity of ins stout obedience. 2. Utak. firmness with gentleness. Let your eltildrea always underetsnd that you mean exactly:what you say. 3. Never promise them anything unless you are sure you can give them what you promise. 4. If you tell a child to do any- thing, show him how to do it, and see that it is done. 5. Always punish your children for willfully disobeying you, but never punish in anger. 6. Never let them perceive that they can vex you, or make you loss your self -command. 7. If they give way to petulant* sod temper, wkit till they are calm, and then gently reason with them on the impropriety of their conduct. 8. Remember that a little present punishment, when the occasion arises, is more effectual than the threatening of a greater punishment should the fault be renewed. 9. 3tever give your children any.. thing because they cry for it: 10. On no account allow them to do at one time what yon have at anoth- er time, under the same circumstances, forbid len. 11. Teach the* that the only sere and easy way to appear good, is to be good. 12. Accustom them to make their little recitals the parted truth. 13. Never allow of tale -bearing. 14. Teach them that self-denial, not self-indulgence, is the appointed and sure method of securing happines.

WASHINGTON, Thursday May 1—The following correspondence, taken from the Richmond Enguirer of yester- day, which city it reached by telegrpph, was today 'received at the War Department. The correspondence is between the Mayor of New Orleans and Flag Officer Farragut: U. S. FLAG SHIP HARTFORD, Off New Orleans, April 26, 1862. To his Excellency, the Mayor of the City of New Orleans: Son: Upon my arrival before your city, I had the honor to send to your Honor Capt. Bailey, U. S. N , second in command of the expedition to de- mand of you the surrender of New Orleans to me, as the representative of the Government of the United States. Uaptain Bailey reported the result of an interview with yourself and the military authorities. It must occur to your Ilonor that it is not within the province of a naval officer to assume the duties of a military commandant. I came here to reduce New Orleans to obedience to the laws of, and to vindie fate the offended majesty of the Gov- ernment of the United States. The rights of persons and property shall bo secured. I therefore demand of you, as its refrosentativo, the unqualified surrender of the city, and that the emblem of the sovereignty of the United States be hoisted over the City Hall, Mint, and the Custom House, by meridian this day, and all the flags and. em- blems of eoverignty other than this of the United States be removed from the public buildings by that hour. I par- ticularly request that you shall exer- cise your authority to quell disturbance, restore order, and call upon all the good people of New Orleans to return at once to their vocations, and I par- ticularly demand that no person shall be molested in person, property or sen- timents of loyalty to their Govern- ment. I shall speedily and severely punish any person or persons cyto shall com- mit such outrages ss wore witnessed yesterday by armed men firing upon helpless wemen and children for giving expressions of their pleasure at wit- nessing the "old Sag." I am, very respectfully �D. G. FARRAGUT, Flag Officer Western Gulf Squadron. TIIE REPLY. MAYOR'S OFFICE, CITY HALT., CITY OF NEW ORLEAN'e, April 26. Flag Officer D. G. Farragut, U. S. Flag ebip Hartford: Sun: In pursuance of a resolution which we thought proper to take out of regard for the lives of the women and children who still crowd the metropo. lis, Gen Lovell has evacuated it with his- troops, and restored back to mo the administration of its government and the custody of its power. I have, in council with the City Fathers, considered the demand you made of me yesterday—of an uncou- ditionehl surrender of the city, coupled with a requisition to hoist the flag o the United States on the public edifices and haul down the flag that still floats upon the breeze from the dome of this Hall. It becomes my duty to trans- mit to yon an answer which is the uni- versal sentiment of my constituents, no less than the prompting of my own heart, dictated to me on this sad and solemn occasion. Tho city is without the means of defense, and is utterly, destitute of the force and material that might enable it to resist an overpower- ing armament now displayed in sight of it. I am no military man and possess no authority beyond that of executing the municipal laws of the city of New Orleans. It would be presumptuous in nos to attempt to lead an army to the field, if I had one at command; and I know still lees how to surrender an un- defended place; hold as this is at the mercy of your gunners and your mor- tars. To surrender such a place were an idle and unmeaning ceremony. The city is yours by the power of brutal force, not by my ohoice or the consent of its inhabitants. It is for yon to determine what the fate that awaits here. As to hoisting any flag not of our own adoption and allegiance, let me say to you that the man lives not in onr midst whose hand and heart would not be paralyzed at the mere thought of such au act. Nor could I find in my entire constituency so desperate and wretched a renegade as would dare to profane with bis hand the sacred emblems of our aspirations. Sir, you have manifested sentiments which would become one engaged in a better arse than that to which you have devoted your sword. I doubt not that they spring from a noble though decided nature, and I know how to appreciate the emotion which inspired them. You have a gallant people to administrate during your oc oupanoy of this city—a people sensi- tive to all that can in the least affect their dignity and self-respect. Pray, sir, do not fail to regard their suscep- tibilities. The obligations which I shall as- sume in their name shall be religiously complied with. You may trust their honor, though you might not count on their submission to unmerited wrong. In conclusion, I beg you to under- stand that the people of New Orleans, while unable to resist your force, do • not allow themselves to be insulted by the interference of such as have ren'• dared themselves odious and contemp- tible by their dastardly desertion of our cause in the mighty straggle in which we are in engaged, or ench as might remind them too forcibly that they are the conquered, and yon the conquerors. Peace and order may be preserved without resort to measures which I could not at this moment prevent.— Your occupying the city does not trans- fer allegiance from the government of their choice to one which they have de- liberately repudiated, and that they yield the obedience which the conquer- or is entitled to extort from the con- quered. Respectfully, JOHN F. MOORE, Mayor. McCLELLAN AND THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. The editor of the Cleveland Leader, writing on the 22d of April, from For- tress Monroe, says: A few word. as to the condition of the Army of the Potomac will not be without interest to yon—and firstly, while the whole loyal country has been impatient at the long delay and inac=' tion which has characterized the army, and while at Washington I found the whole population—speaking in gene- ral terms—expressing a want of confi- dence in General McClellan, here there is the utmost confidence in and reliance on him as a sol- dier. I am glad to find this so, beoaus° if the army had not confidence in its General, we could expect nothing but defeat in the coming battle. With that confidence we shall gain the victory. Every officer and soldier we have conversed with, pine his faith to M'Clel- Ian. Some of them—very many of them—have joined with yon, and me, and nearly every other loyal civillian, in chafing at the "quiet on the Poto- mac" and the great Manassas humbug, but so far as the issue on the Peninsula is concerned, they believe that George B, 'McClellan is just the man to lead them to victory. This is one great point which will tell for us when the time of assault comes. Another is the determined air of business and work whioh pervades the entire army. We hear little or noth- ing of tho "spoiling for a fight" which was boasted in the earlier inonths of the war, but there is a manifest determine• tion which promises much more for us than each loud assertions of a valor which had not been tested. Then the troops did not know what war was, and their ideas of a battle were much like those with which they viewed a free fight in a country bar room. Now, they know that war is a serious, sol- emn business—a hard -learned trade which gives thorn steady work and not a mere dash of reckless bravery or rtrshness. And so what we now see in the taco of the mon who compose our army is not the flush of excitement, but the cool look of men who know that when they are told to advance, they will walk to the cannon's mouth with the same implicit obedience with which they would go to their daily mechanic- al toil at home. They aro veterans, not recruits; and so, when the battle comes, and these veteran hosts leave these hillsides to march down yonder in what will he the valley of the shadow of death to thousands of them, there will be no Bull Run panic nor inglorious skulking. Never until I saw this army did I feel the confi- dence in it that I now do. It is worth one's careful inspection to see the mode of life which these sol- diers lend, and the adaptability to cir- cumstances which distinguishes them. A regiment is halted upon a rising ground, a little out of the water, which floods half the country hereabouts. In an hour you see the ground covered with little black shelter tents, some with log sides to raise them higher than they would otherwise bo, some with embankments around them to shed the rain and wind, and the rivu- lets which speedily follow the smallest shower, some with ante -rooms and bow - era and evergreens, and in and about all these the sun -browned soldier is work- ing or cooking or sleeping an content- edly as if they were at their own homes They are cheerful and hopeful. I havn't heard a discontented grow! since I've been here from the common sole dier, except an occasional complaint of the long delay of the Paymaster in bringing the money that the volunteers family are anxiously looking for by ev- ery mail or express from the :ar,my.— This cause of complaint will Boon be removed, as a detachment of Paymas- ters will be here this week to pay off the whole Potomac army. And so, from a general and bird's eye view of the situation here, we gath- er courage and confidence. THE SOUTHERN EMOLEMATIO BIRD.— In one of the Southern ciiiea, a party of the leaders of the great rebellion were seated in a cozy room of one of the large hotels, having a merry time over their campaign, when the question arose as to what bird or animal should be adopted as their natioal emblem.— Suggestions from each one had been discussed and all rejecteda]vben cone of the number called to his aid one `of the servants. Old Zeb scratched his wool a moment, when his eyes began to brighten, and be said: "Massa, guess GENERAL SIGEL. A deputation of patriotic ladies of St. Louis have presented the heroio Sigel with a beautiful silver goblet, ap- propriately inscribed. They called on the General at his residence, taking him completely by surprise—something which his country'% enemies cannot succeed in doing. After an approprie ate presentation speech, Gen. Sigel made the following impromptu res sponse, which shows that he can talk as well as fight: LADIES: It is a pleasure for me to greet yon, and, as the representatives of the Union ladies of this city, to thank you. I am sorry that my ex- perience compels me to say that the fair sex have not shown that sympathy for the great Union cense which we had a right to expect from sound hearts; and therefore, I respect and es. teem moro highly those who form the exception to the rule, who aro not in- fluenced by pride and selfishness, and who love their country more than they love traitors. I was not born in this country. 1 carne hero like your ancestors, the IIu. guenots, and the Puritans, and the fol- lowers of Penn, from a foreign land; but I assure you that my heart and my soul is with this republic. I ant bound to this country with my whole life, be cause I am bound to the principles up on which this republic is based—prin ciplea for the triumph of which I have struggled and fought from the time I was able to think. I am bound to the sacred soil of Missouri, by the memo- ry of those who have fallen under -my eyes in the defence of the State, and for the maintenance of the Union.— For the stars and the stripes thoy off- ered themselves a willing sacrifice, and I will cherish them in my heart to my last days. I have sometimoe thought that the tokens of regard bestowed upon me were the result of fashion rather than the sincere wishes of the heart; but I also know that there is somo truth in the manifestations of the friendship and sympathy from the people. The eyes of the people is very often the eye of wisdom. It penetrates into the heart of man, and recognizes his true charac tor. It soon finds out whether he acts honestly and for the common welfare, or whether he risks his life and plays with the blood of men to gratify his own ambition. I recognize in you the voice of the people. I really think that you are acting under the tender wishes of friends, and that your sympathies are true and noble. I therefore thank you from my very heart for your kindness and esteem. This goblet, 60 excellent in its work- manship, and so dear to nie as a gift from sincere friends, will accompany me to the field, if I shall be so happy as to be restored; and whenever my lips will touch this silver vessel, I will remember that "of your love I never drink too much." 6T' A Ship Island correspondent of the Gloucester Telegraph sketches Gen. Phelps' peotllarities after the fol- lowing fashion: "Gen. Phelps is a character. IHo is perfectly democratic in his habits.— Many a Colonel, and oven Captain, would do well to follow his simplicity of style. He lives in a common tent, which Is pitched close by the sidewalk, with nothing to distinguish it but a sentinel who paces before it during on- ly the day. Close by is what I sup- posed for some time to bo a traveling daguerreotype saloon, but at last found out was his office. Ho does not have a bed, but takes his blanket and sleeps on the floor. Hie food is common soldier's fare. One of our Lieutenants heard biro the other day tell what a nice dish of rice and molasses be had for supper the night before. He dreses with great plainness, has but one ser- vant, and does not even keep a horse. IIe takes only his monthly pay from the Government, and all his allowances he turns into the treasury. Ho says that extravagance is mining the gov- ernment, and he will not be a party to it. Every officer ho holds to a strict account, especially the Quartermasters. No one can do anything that he does not have an oversight of. He has made the Zouaves doff their showy trappings and don tbe regulation uni- form. He puts the officers through in great shape, and does not hesitate to blow them up on parade when they deserve it. To the men he is very kind sed lenient, and is much beloved by them all. Ho has a rich Yankee drawl in his voice, which it makes one laugh to hear. This model General honored me with a brief speech the other day, to -wit: "Sergeant, torn about and stand perfectly still. Don't budge and inch. `The latest dog story is of two dogs who fell to fighting in a saw mill. In the coarse of the tustle one of the dogs went plump against a saw in rap- id motion which cut him in two in- stanter. The hind legs ran away, but the fore legs continued the fight and whipped the other dog.

Oecesion- nlly by aceident, they fall into keep- ing step for a while, and for a time they move harmoniously and happily with graceful identity of motion. But for the most part, their progress con- sists of a ludicrous jogglety-jork, fear- fully trying to comfort and temper.— This is but a typo and illustration of the discomfort which some men endure through life, for the simple want,of trot knowing when to "change step." For example: A man marries. Itis wife is, in almost everything, a fit help mate, but she has• -wand who has pot— her little infirmities. As long as they jog along lifo's road in the double hare ness of matrimony, "keeping step," they are happy and comfortable.— Suddenly some little eccentricity—a foible iu one or .the other—interferei with the pleasant concert, there is an- noyance and confusion—they have "lost step!" Now friends, is the time to change step. Don't stubbornly trudge along at your own pace, but skillfully. for tho moment, humor your yokofollow—change step. Yon will soon find, by a transition so easy as to be unnoticed, that both have returned to rho original and natural order of march and yon will have escaped one of the "breezes" which, trifled with, sometimes swell into fearful storms, in which the fairest hopes and affections of life are wrecked forever. PUT HER THROUGH.—A gentleman had occaasion to send his daughter up to the garret for some article which he wanted. The child returned crying, and upon being asked what the trouble was, replied that the snow had sifted in upon the garret stairs, and sho had slipped down and hart herself. 'Well. did you get what I told you?' inquired her father; she replied that she had not. 'Well, then,' he exclaimed, starting up, 'I'll go; I guess I aint afraid of a little snow.' After he had gone, the child observed that she hoped'pappa would fall just a little, to pay him for laughing at her.' Soon afterward, a distant bumping and rolling was heard, accompanied by the sound wrath. The family listened with intense interest, but the object of their solicitude was whistling as soberly as though nothing had happened. He crossed the two rooms above, and as he approached the bead of the stairs. thundered out—'Open the chamber door! Next yon know you'll have me tumbled down here and break my neck It's so dark now' but the eentenoe was never finished. Trip went his heels, and rolling, thumping, rattling and swearing, he sprawled his six feet on the kitchen floor, where he was greeted with bursts of merriment. At last he shouted: 'Open the cellar door. Ann, I may as well put her through, clear to the bottom.' verish with last night's drinking; and erEssIu Venango county.

EASY TOOTH PULLING ILLUATRAT(n.-- Before tho days of chluroforna there was a quack who advertised tooth drawing without pain. The patient was placed in a chair, and the instrument applied to his tooth with a wrench, followed by a roar from the unpleasantly surprised sufferer. "Stop," cried the dentist, "compose yourself.

The fact that she had silenced the rebel bat- teries at Dog's Point and was approach- ing Petersburgh, caused a complete panic there. The Petersburg Express of the 9th says there is a rumor that the Yankees were landing forces yesterday at Bur - well's Bay, or Smithfield, and their in- tention will doubtless be to march across the country, a distance of some eighteen or twenty miles, and take pos- session of Suffolk.

The elite of the court of Louis the XIV, the great monarch of France, were assembled in the chapel of the great Trisnon, to witness the Delilah of Louis, Count of French° °erupts —a natural son of the King—Lydonie, Duchess de Baliverne, a wealthy heir - The singular feature of the carom° ny was, that the bridegroom's eyes wero bandaged with white handker- This circumstance esroited the won- der of all. Had the bride been old and ugly they would not have been surprised. On the contrary, she was young and qnite pretty. The King alone understood this strange freak of the bridegroom, and though much enraged, lie prudently held his peace and suffered the ceremo- ny to proceed. A few words will explain tho mo- tives of the bridegroom. When Louis XIV came back from his great campaign in the Palstinate, he detertnined to unite his son, whose valor and daring during the war had greatly pleased him, to one of the wealthy wards of the crown. Ile propoged the union to the young duchess of Bahverne, and found her favorably inclined. She had just come to Court, having just emerged from the coovent where she had completed her education. She had seen the young Count often, though he had never deigned to cast a glance upon her. She knew he was brave and noble, and she thought handsome. The bar sineter of his es- cutcheon was no objection. She ac- cepted him. Unfortunately, Louis of Frerichs Compte, who, like his father, WAS something of a reprobate, would not accept her. •My eon,' said the great King, have resolved that you shall marry.' 'My worthy sire and most excellent :father,' returned the Count, 'I have re- solved to do no such thine The Kirg frowned. IIe was not in the habit of being contradicted. 'I have made a formal proposition of your name, for the hand of the Duchess of Baliverne, and she has ex- epted you,' he said gravely. 'Doubtless,' snetrsd theyoung ape - race, 'her taste is excellent, and how onld she refuse me.? Perhaps it ould have been as well to have eon- ulted inclinations in this matter.— do not wish to marry.' 'Are yon in love with any met' 'Then love my Duchess. She is nos le, wealthy.'

'If I do I'll marry her with my eyes utr The King grew purple with passion. 'Mark y'e boy!' You owe me obedi- co as a subject and as a son. It is y will that you bestow your hand pon the Duchess de Baliverne. The edding shall take place this day fort- ght. Submit to my will with a od grace, and I will create yon a nke on your wedding day. Dare to sobey me, and I will strip yon of ur title, and lands yon hold from me, d cast you into the Bastile.' This was what had bronght the be married. The King smiled grimly but said thing. The Count placed the ring upon the ger of his bride, but he did not sa- te her, and when the ceremony was er he turned his back upon her, took e handkerchief from his eyes, and lked deliberately out of the chapel. Lydouie pouted her pretty lips, and s almost ready to cry with vexation. The King took her in charge, escorts her to her carriage, and they were uveyed to the hotel her husband had cupied. 'Here you are, my dear,' said the eg, conducting her through the artments he had expressly furnished het reception: 'here you are, at me,' 'But where's my husband?' asked 'Silly boy,' muttered the King, look - g very much annoyed; 'never mind, y dear, he is your husband; the rest II come in time.'

'Yon will have forgotten me by to husband was about. She dispatched a trusty servant for intelligence, and like all wives who place a spy upon her husband's move, mente, she was not at all pleased with the news she received. The Duke was plunging into all kinds of dissipation. He was making love to all the pretty daughters of the ehopkeepers in the Rue St. Antoine. In fact, for a newly married man, his conduct was shameful. 'To leave me to run after such ca - mailer exclaimed Lydonie. She paused suddenly. An idea had entered her brain. She determined to act upon it. While she was meditating upon it, let us see what the Duke wee about. One night, about eight days after his marriage, the Duke, plainly attired and muffled in a cloak, roamed through the Fanbourg St. Antoine, AB was his wont, in quest of adventnres. As he turned the corner of one of those narrow lanes that intersected the quarter at that period, a piercing shriek burst apes his ear, mingled with suffo- cating cries for assistance. The Duke's eword was out in an in- stant. He was brave to rashness.— Without a moment's thought he plunged into tho lane. He beheld a female struggling in the grasp of a man. The man fled precipitately at his ap- proach, and the girl sank into his arms, convuleively exclaiming:, The Duke sheathed his sword and endeavored to calm her fears. He led her beneath the lamp that swung in the corner. 'Why, you are a perfect little beauty,' he cried rapturously and in surprise. The girl cast down her eyes and blushed deeply, and the Duke felt the band that rested upon his arm tremble. But she did not seem displeased. 'Do you reside in Paris?' 'Yes, but we have only been here a short time—we came from Bellville-- mother and I.' 'From the country eh? Whore do you live my pretty blossom?' 'In the Rue St. Helene.' 'Why that is some distance from here. Will you not permit 010 to es- cort you home? These etreets are dan- gerous, as you have found, to one As beautiful as you are.' I would very much like to have you She paused and appeared confused. 'If what?' asked the Duke eagerly. 'If you would only be so good—u to promise not to—to try—to—kiss me again—if you please, sir,' replied the girl, innocently. The Duke was charmed. There was a simplicity, a freshness about this young girl which pleased him. 'I give you my word as a gentleman,' he said frankly, 'that no action of mine shall displease you, if you ace ite tir 1- 00 • • have heard tny tnother say the shell never forget your mean.' men always protest more than they 'Your mother is---' the Duke paused and bit hie lip.' 'What is she asked Bergeronette 'She is—is right. Bat I mean what I say. As tinnily as tha morrow comes, 'Come. Good Night.' She turned from him, and was about to enter the garden. 'Bergeronette,' he said, quickly, 'one kiss before I go. Surely my forbear- ance deserves it.' She made no answer but she inolined her head gently towards him. For a moment she lingered in his arms, and then tore herself from his embrace and passed quickly through the gate. The Duke determined to follow her. When he placed his band against the gate he found it securely fastened .— Bergeronette had prudently locked it after her. So the Doke went to his lodgings— he had taken baclaelor apartments on his weddiag day—to dream of Ber- The next day he went to the cottage in Rue St. Helene. He was received by Bergeronette timidly, and introduced by her to her mother, a fine matronly dame, who sat spinning in the corner, and allowed the young couple to rove about the garden at will. The Duke thought she was a very seneible old woman. The Duke depa-ted at the end of three hours, more in love then ever. He cause every day for a fortnight, and every day he pressed hie suit.— But there was only one way in which Bergeronetto could be vron—an hon- orable marriage. The Doke was in dispair and at his wit's 8/14. He had a stormy acne with the King, who threatened to send him to the Bastre if he did not return to the Duchess. So be came to Bergeronette, on the fourteenth day to make a final effort to obtain her. They were alone together in the garden. 'Here MO, Bergeronette,' he cried, when he had exhausted every argument and found her still firm, *I swear to you were I free, thin instant would I wed you.

We find the following description of Yorktown, Virginia. in the New York World: Yorktown, Virginia, ie situated ion the right bank of the York river, elev- en miles from its mouth, and seventy miler; east from Richmond. It was settled in 1705. Before the eanimenae- meat of the rebellion Yorktown was a quiet, unobtrusive little village of be- tween twenty and thirty houses, half of them uniuhabitated, with the ruins of tenements destroyed during Cornwal- lis' siege visible everywhere. The American breastworks were neer'y ob- literated, while the more permaueot in- trenchmente of the British were still comparatively perfect. The outworks which the latter were compelled to evacuate on the night of September 29, 1781, lies on the western skirts of the town, and are probably still in good preservation. The most eastern of the redoubts stormed by the allied forces on the 15th of October, 1781, being near the river, has nearly been washed away; but that taken by the French portion of the army may still be traced The main works, situated on the eastern edge of the town, were in excellent keeping in 1854, and must bave boon formidable when bristling with cannon and occupied by soldiers. The ern-. bankment was too broad to be perfero- rated by cannon shot; and too steep to be easily scaled by an assailant. The field where the formalities of the sur- render occurred is a respectable enclo- sure, of some hundred acres, and it was about the same in 1781. It joins the town on tho South. The very epot where General O'Harra is said to have delivered np his sword an apologized for the absence of Cornwallis, is now marked by two poplar trees, which were planted in commemoration of the event. From the top of the hill on which the town is situated, there is an excellent view extending into the Chesapeake Bay, and reaohing almost to the Virginia capes. Yorktown fer- metly enjoyed quite a valuable West ludia trade. Tue great natural capa- bilities of the place as a basis fee mil - tary operations, early attracted the at- tention of Jefferson Davis, and there can be no doubt that the entrenchments constructed by the British in 1781 have A GOOD ONE.—Jim M'Grow, son of Mrs. Maria M'Grow, of this place, has won the respect of General McClellan by his rough way of doing hia duty.— The General was lately riding along the lines, seeing how the boys are get- ting on.

THE PATRIOT'S STRATAGEM. Night had set in deep and dark, and in a log cabin, situated a few miles from Trenton, New Jetsey, sat five men; four of whom were seated around an old oaken table ia the centre of the room, engaged in pinying cards; while t, ey frequently moistened their throats with large draughts from an earthen jag that stood on the table.

"What a dreadful affair" said a hen, who was walking about on the other side of the village where the circum- stance is supposed to have taken place —"what a dreadful affair took place in our house last night! I shall not be able to sleep alone any more, I am afraid. But it is a fortunate thing that the most are on guy side." Thereupon she began to state that the feathers of all the other fowls brie, tied up the night before, and the bravest of their defenders dropped their combs from fear. 'It's as true as you live.' Now I must begin my story, the facts of which we believed to have oc- curred on the opposite side of the vil- lage. The sun has been down for some time, and all the chickens began to fly up on to their roost. One of them was a young hen. She had very beautiful white feathers and short legs; she laid eggs as regular as her sisters, and was as respectable tie any individ- ual in the whole henhouse. While sitting quietly, she picked about her wines a little, and one of her beautiful white feathers fell down upon the floor. When she saw it she said: 'ft seems to me, that, the more I pock my- self, the more beautiful I grow.' Sho only spoke in sport. She was very handsome, but she never grew proud of it; indeed, she seldom thought of it. Sho was very witty, and only said what she did, to make a hearty laugh through all the house.— Then she went to sleep. She slept soundly because she had been good all day. It became very, very dark. One hen sat beside another and slept, and all were asleep but a certain one whose nano I will not repeat. She had heard, and she had not heard. Bnt she was pretty sure she had heard some one say that if you want, to become very pretty you roust peek yourself a great deal. So nothing wonld do but she must tell it to her neighbor. 'Wake up, wake,' she whispered, di'.10.'t you hear what was said awile ego? I will not mention anybody's name; but there is a certain prowl hes in our house, who says sho makes it a hubit to peck herself so that her feath• ars may fall out, and she may become beautiful all the time. Such a hen ought to be despised by every ono in our whole city.' Right over the hens and chickens, and close under the roof, was a pair of Owls with their young ones. That family were noted for their sharp cars, an they heard some ono whispering ebout a certain young hen. They rolled their great eyes around, and the old mother owl said to her little child, ren: 'Did you hear what was said below us a few moments ago?' 'No, mother,' they replied, 'we were almost asleep.' 'Well, 1'11 tell you. A certain hon has pecked out fifty of her white feath- ers and says sho is going to keep doing it until she has pecked out three hun- dred. Sho does it because it makes her prettier. I can't keep such an ab suid thing to myself. It ought to be known.' 'Take care, children,' said the old owl father, I think there is some mise take about it.' I shall toll it to my neighbors, any- how,' spoke the old mother. And then she flew out. 'Dreadful!' dread- ful!' she cried, as she came up to the door of the pigeon -house. 'Have you heard the news? Dreadful! We have a hen in our house who has pulled all her Leathers out because she says it makes her handsome. Sho will freeze to death, if she's not dead already.— Dreadful! It's as true as you live.' 'Where! where? cried a few of the pigeons. 'In our house. I have as good as seen the affair myself.' Ono can scarcely believe the thing, it ie so ridic• ulous. But you may depend upon it. It is as true as you live.' Then the pigeons who had heard the news, went to every room in their, house, and after waking up all the sleepers, said: 'What awful news we have just hoard. There are two hens in this city, who have plucked all their feath- ers out to make them beautiful. But they have since frozen to death.— Served them right. There's no donbt of the matter. It's as true as you live.' Off flew an old pigeon to a crow with whom she was acquainted.— 'Wake up! wake up! I have some wonderful news to tell you. In our city there aro three hens that have plucked their feathers out to make them pretty! They are now dead and buried. Ono ought not keep such bad news to himself. Go and tell your neighbors. They would be glad to hear it.' So the crow told it to the bat, and the bat to the hawk, and it passed from one to another, until finally it', came back to the henhouse from which it had first started. The blackbird flew into the henhouse door and said: !What dreadful news is circulating all over the country 1'-- Five hens have plucked all their feath- ers because they thought it would make them beautiful. , But an aasaesijn came upon them and killed them just afterward; and their bodies have been stolen away so that no one can tell what has become of them.' The little hen, who had accidently plucked out a single feather, could not at first recognize this news as having come from her remark. But, as she was of a shrewd turn of mind, the whole thing finally flashed upon her. 'Now,' said she, 'I'll tell my friends here what I am going to do. I shall narrate this wonderful thing. and men• tion the name of each tell-tale who has been so busy, and made such a mountain out of a molehill. At the conclusion of my account, I am going to say that it all came from my hav- ing lost a single feather. This shall bo published in all our papers, and the name of every tell tale shall be printed in large capital letters; it's as true as you diva.' The next day everybody read the ac• count of the little white hen; and the names of the tell -tales wore never for- gotten in that country.—.N Y. llfetho, dist. FINANCIAL.—The New York Bank Note Reporter has the following re- marks concerning Government securi- ties: Mr. Chase is now running Isis finan- cial machinery in a way that is as sura to secure a rapid funding of the de- mand notes into the six per cent. stocks named on the back of the recent issue of notes as water is Bare to find its own level. If, then, a twenty year six per cent Federal stock, redeemable at the option of the Government after five years, is worth par, what are the other classes of Federal secgrities worth? Tho power to redeem the twenty year sixes at the option of the Government at any time after five years de racts from their value, as com- parcel with a twenty year stock not li- able to such contingency, at six per cont.; therefore the sixes now on the market are worth, with accrued interest going on to the purchaser, 108. The 7 3.10 notes Darn to the purchaser, du- ring the two -and -a -half years they have to run, three per cent. more interest thau a six per cent. stock, and they aro fundable into twenty year six per cent., which aro not liable to bo called in before the full expiration of the twenty years; therefore, the 7 3.10 Treasury notes are worth 109. The twelve tuonth certificates of indebted- ness aro certainly three per cont. less valuable the 7 3-10 Treasury notes, awl further less valuable to an amouut that the funding privilege is worth.— An option or "call" to take a twenty year federal stock at par at any time during two and a half years would readily bring 5 per cent. on the stocks. This makes a 7 3 10 per cent. Treas- ury note worth 5+- per cent. more than a certificate of indebtedness. 'These estimates are carefully made; but it should be remembered that they aro on the basis of a six per cent. contingent stock, or the stock into which the legal tender notes are fundable, at par. SUDDEN DEATHS.—Dr. Hall in bis Journal of Health, says that very few sadden deaths which are said to arise from disease of the heart do really arise from that cause. To ascertain the real origin of sudden deaths, the doc- tor says the experiment has been tried in Europe, and reported to a scientific congress held at Stasburg. Sixty-six cases of sudden deaths were made the subject of a thorough post mortem ex- amination. In these cases only two were found who died from disease of the heart. Nine out of sixty-six died from appoplexy, while there were forty-six cases of congestion of the lungs; that is, the lungs were so full of blood they could not work, there not being room enough for a sufficient quantity of air to enter to support life. The doctor goes on to enumerate the causes that may produce congestion of the lungs. They are—cold feet, tight shoos, tight clothing, costiveness, Bit- ting still chilled through, after being warmed by labor or a rapid walk; go• ing too suddenly from a close heated room into the cold air, especially after speaking; and sudden depressing news operating on tho blood. These causes of Budden death being known, an avoidance of them may serve to length- en our valuable lives, which would oth- erwise be lost under the verdict of a heart complaint. That disease is sup- posed to be incurable, and hence men may not take the pains they would to avoid sudden death if they knew it lay in their power. 4 ••S 5 A dispatch from New York states that a movement is making by the Government which indicates a de- sign on its part to assist the starving people of New Orleans, as in the case of Newbern and other points. In ac- cordance with orders received at New York, the steamer Ocean Queen is to be loaded with commissary stores and sent direct to New Orleans. It is un- derstood that there stores are for distri- bution as General Butler may direct.

His daughter. TRUTH. The lollbwing beautiful illustration of the simplicity and the power of truth is from the pen of S. H. Hammond, formerly editor of the Albany State Register. He was an eye witness of the scene in one of the higher courts: A little girl, nine yeas of age, was offered as a witness against a prisoner who was on trial for a felony com- mitted in her father's house. 'Now, Emily,' said the counsel for the prisoner, upon being offered as a wit ness, 'I desire to know if you under- stand the nature of an oNyle?' 'I don't know what yuti mean; was the simple answer. 'There your honor, ' said the coun- sel, addressing the court, 'is there any- thing further needed to demonstate the validity of my objection? Tho wit- ness should be rejected. She does not comprehend tho nature of an oath.' 'Let us see,' said the judge. 'Come here, my daughter.' Assured by the kind manner and tone of the Judge, the child stepped forward and looked confidingly in his face, with a calm, clear eye, and in a manner so artless and frank, that it went straight to the heart. 'Did you ever take an oath?' in- quired the Judge. The little girl stepped back with a look of horror, and the red blood mantled in a blush all over her face and neck as she an- swered: 'No, sir.' She thought he intended to enquire if she had ever blasphemed. 'I do not mean that,' said the Judge, who saw her mistake; 'I mean were you ever a witness before?' 'No, sir; I never was in court bee fore, was the answer. He handed her the Bible, open. 'Do you know that book, my Baugh ter?' She looked at it, and answered, 'Yes, sir, it is the Bible: 'Do you ever read it?' he asked. 'Yes, sir, every evening.' 'Can you tell what the Bible is?' en- quired the ,Judge. It is the word of the great God,' she answered. 'Well, place ycur hand upon the Bible and listen to what I say; and he repeated slowly and solemnly the oath usually adwinisted to witnesses. 'Now,' said the Judge, 'you have sworn as a witness, will you tell no what will befall you if you do not tell the truth?' 'I shall bo shut up in State Prison,' answered the child. 'Anything else?' asked the Judge. 'I shall never go to Heaven,' she re- plied. 'How do you know this?' asked the Judge. The child took the Bible, and turning rapidly to the chapter containing the commandments, pointed to the in- junction, 'Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy ueighbor,' 'I learn- ed that before I could read.' 'Has any ono talked to you about yonr being a witness in court here against this man?' inquired the Judge. 'Yes, sir," she replied. My mother heard they wanted me to be a witness, and last night she celled me to her room and asked me to tell her the Ten Commandments, and we kneeled dcwn together and she prayed that I might understand how wicked it was to bear false witness against my neighbor, and that God would help me, a little child, to tell the truth as it is before him.— And when I came up here with father she kissed me, and told me to remem- ber the Ninth Commandment, and that God would hear every word that 1 said.' 'Do you believe this!' asked the Judge, while a tear glistened in his eye, and lois lip quivered with emotion. 'Yes, air,' said the child with a voice and manner that showed her conviction of its truth was perfect. 'God bless you, my ch'Id,' said the Judge, 'You have a good mother— This witness is competent,' ho contin- ued. 'Were I on trial for my life, and innocent of the charge against me, I would pray God for such witnesses as this. Let her be examined.' She told her story with the simplic- ity of a child, as she was, but there was a directness about it which car- ried conviction of its truth to the heart. She was rigidly examined. The coun sel plied her with infinite and ingenious gnestioning, but she varied from her first statement in nothing. The truth as spoken by this child was sublime.— Falsehood and perjury bad preceded her testimony. The prisoner had en- trenched himself in lies, till he deemed himself impregnable. Witnesses had falsified facts in his favor, and villainy had manufactured for him a sham de- fence. But before her testimony false- hood was scattered like chaff. The lit• tle child for whom a mother had pray- ed for strength to be given her to speak the truth as it was before God, broke the cunning devices of matured vil- lainy to pieces like the potter's vessel. The strength that her mother prayed for was given her, and the sublime and terrible simplicity—terrible I men to the prisoner and his associates—with which she spoke, was a revelation from God himself. THE PRESIDENT ON GENERAL HUNTER. ♦ PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT. WHEREes, There appears in the public prints ;what purports to be a proclamation of Major General Hun- ter; and whereas, the same is producing some excitement and misunderstanding: Therefore. I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, pro- claim and declare that the Govern- ment of the United States had no knowledge or belief of an intention on the part of General Hunter to issue such a proclamation, or has it yet any ate acntic information that the docu wont is genuine; and farther, that neither General Hunter, nor any other Commander or person, has been author ized by the Government of the United States to make proclamation declaring the slaves of any State free, and that the supposed proclamation now in question, whether genuine or falee, is altogether void so far as respects such declaration. I further make known that, whether it be competent for me as Commander in chief of the Army and Navy, to do• clare the slaves of any State or States free, and whether at any time or in any case it shall beccme a necessity indis- pensable with the maintenance of the Government to exercise such supposed power, aro questions which under my responsibility I reserve to myself, and which I cannot feel justified in leaving to the decision of commanders in the field. These are totally different ques- tions from those of police regulations in armies and camps. On the Lath day of March last, by a special message, I recommended to Congress the adoption of a resolution, to bo substantially as follows: Resolved. That the United States ought to co-operate with any State which may adopt a gradual abolition of slavery, giving aid to each States in its discretion, to compensate for the inconveniences, public and private, pro- duced by such change of system. '1'he resolution on the language above quoted was adopted by large majorities in both branches of Con - groes and now stands an authentic, def- inite and solemn proposal of the na- tion to the States and people most in terestod in the subject mater. To the people of these States now I earnestly appeal. I do not argue, I beseech yen to make the arguments yourselves.— Yen cannot, if you would, bo blind to the signs of the times. I beg of you a calm and enlarged consideration ot them, ranging, if it may be, far above personal and party politics. This pro- posal makes a common cause for a common object. Casting no reproach- es upon any, it acts not the Pharisee. The change it contemplates would come gently as the dews of Heaven, not rending or wrecking anything.— Will you not embrace it? So much good has not been done by one effort in all past time as in the Providence of God it is now your high privilege to do. May the vast future not have to lament that you have negledted it. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United Staten to be annexed • Done at the city of Washington, this 19th day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the United States, the eighty-sixth. (Signed,) By the President, ABRA THAM LINCOLN. WM. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State. A Dotoaous DeecoN,—I have seen a deacon in the pride of hie humility. He combed hie hair straight, and looked studiously at the main chance; and while he looked, he employed himself in setting a good example.— His xample—His dress was rigidly plain, and bis wife was not indulged in the vanities of millinery eel en oitumaking. He never joked. He did not know what a joke was any farther than to know that it wee a sin. He carried a Sun• day face through the week. He did not mingle in the happy social parties of his ne ghborhood+ He was a deacon He starved his social nature because he was a deacon. He refrained froth all participation in a free and generous life because be was a deacon. He made his children hate Sunday because he was a deacon. Ho so brought them up that they considered themselves un- fortunate in being the children of a deacon. They were pitied by other children because they were theeehildren of a deacon. His wife was pitied by other women because she was the wife of a Deacon. Nobody loved him. If he came into a circle where men were laughing or telling stories, they always stopped until he wont out. Nobody grasped his hand cordially, or slapped him on the shoulder, or spoke of him as a good fellow. He seemed as dry and hard and tough as a piece of jerked beef. There was no softness of character—no juiciness—no loveliness in him. Now it is of no use for me to under- take to realize to myself that God ad- mires such a character as this.' How To GET HIM.—Dr. Chalmers once asked a woman whit could be done to induce her husband to attend the kirk. don't know' she replied, 'unless you were to put a pipe and a pot of porter in the pew' A Huse/ND's EBPERIEeros.— A worthy citizen of Maine, and of fair social position, good plain understand- ing, and aimiabie manners, entered in- to the state of matrimony with a stong-minded woman. Our narrative is brief. She had things all her own way, from the first hour. Her con- tempt for his mental powers increased. daily. His very inoffensiveness in- creased it. Her wishes soon assumed the tones of commands. They lived on for many years, and the "gray mare was universally acknowledged to be the better horse.' In her presence and that of third parties he was rarely known to speak; and be would no more have thought of giving an opin- ion, than of giving up the ghost. At length his career of passive obedience came to a close; and Miss Popkin "had not the least doubt what killed him." His last words --and they were remarkable words—gave something like color to Miss Popkin's opinion.— The Rev. Dr. Thuuderbob attended frim in his last moments; and the con- versation between them has been stated as follows. 'Dr. Pilldriver informs me that you aro no longer for this world.' 'I feel very nervous, and I suppose I can't stand it very long.' 'No, I suppose your end is not vary far off. It is an awful thing to die.' 'Well, I don't know but it may be for some folks: 'I hope you have made your tpeaco with God. Are you prepared to meet the Eine of Terrors?' 'Well, I s'pose I am; I've lived with the Queen fur thirty-two years.' STRYCHNINE.—The source whence this poison, which Inas gamed so world wide celebrity rececently is obtained, is thus noticed in Dickens' Household Words: In Ceylon, and several districts of India, grows a moderate-sized tree, with thick shinning leaves, end a short crooked stem. In the fruit Beason, it is readily recognized by its rich, orange colored berries, about as large as gold- en pippins. The rind is hard and smooth, and covers a white soft pulp, the favorite food of many kinds of birds, within which are the flat, round seeds, not an inch in diameter, ashy, gray in color, and covered with very silky hairs. The Germans fancy they can discover a resemblance in them to gray eyes, and call them crow's eyes, but the likeness is purely imaginary. The tree is the strychnine aux vomi- ca, and the nut is the deadly poison nut The latter was early used as a medicine by the Hindoos, and its nature and properties understood by Oriental doce tors long before it was known to for- eign nations. 'Dog killer' and 'fish scale are two of its Arabic names. It is stated that at present the natives of Hindostan often take it for many months continuously, in much the same manner as opium -eaters eat opium.— They commence with taking the eighth of a nut, and gradually increase their allowance to an entire nut, which wo'd bo about twenty grains. If they eat directly before or after food, no un- pleasant effects are produced; but if they neglect this precaution, spams re- sult. STOPPED WORRYING AND BEGAN TO LAUGH —A clerical friend, at a cele- brated watering -place, met a lady who seemed hovering on the brink of the grave. Her cheeks were hollow and wan, her manner listless, her step lan- guid, and her brow wore the severe contraction so indicative both of men- tal and physical suffering, so that she was to all observers an object of sin- cerest pity. Some years afterward ho encountered this same lady, but so bright, and fresh, and ysuthful, so full of healthful buoyancy, end so joyous in expression, that he questioned himself if he had not deceived himself with regard to her identity. 'Is it possible,' said he 'that I see before me, Mrs. B., who presented such a doleful appearance at the Springs, several years ago?' 'The very same.' 'Anel pray tell me, madam, the secret of your cute? What means did you use to attain to such vigor of mind and body, to such cheerfulness and rejuve- nation!' 'A very simile remedy,' returned she, with a beaming face. 'I stopped worrying, and began to laugh; that was all.' A SALUTARY THOUGHT.—When I was a young man, there lived In our neighborhood a farmer who was nsu- ally reported to be a very liberal man, and uocomonly upright in hie dealings. When ho had any of the produce ot his farm to dispose of, he made it an invariable rule to give good measure— rather more than could be required of him. One of his friends, observing him frequently doing so, questioned him why ho did it—told him he gave too mach, and said it would not be to his advantage. Now mark the an- swer of this excellent man. 'God Al- mighty has permitted me but one jour- ney through the world, and when I am gone I cannot return to rectify mis- takes.' Think of this. But one jour- ney through the world! j ' Why is a good cook like a wo• EASTERN JEALOUSY eF THE WEST.— We find the following article in the New -Haven (Conn.) Register, which says: A Western writer suggests that the States of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan unite in establishing an immense cannon foundry with a view to lake defense. We agree with the Providence Post that "once let the Western States be- gin to form a union for the purposes of mutual defense, no matter what may bp the special and immediate object, and they begin what in twenty years or so, will develop into a Western in- dependency." This must not be permit. ted. The West is injured no doubt more than the South by the blockade of the Mississippi river. Freights on !ler products to the seacoast are enor- mously increased, and there is no pos- sibility of transporting. the immense supplies. Once the Weet unites for defense, and it will go down she Mis- sissippi. We of the East could not help ourselves. BRITISH NAVAL PLANE.—The Lon- don Times makes a discloure of the general design of the Admiralty with respect to the British navy. The mod- ern theory of armor will be applied to the sailing vessels of the navy, not en- tirely but partially• They will be pro- tected at all points, and will carry just so much of a shield as will save them from needless exposure, but not so much as would destroy their sailing qualities by the weight of incumbrance. As to armament, they will carry two guns on a platform which will render their broadsides equivalent to those of sevcnteenegun sloop. tiiT'An Eastern physician was rid- ing in an omnibus, when an Irishman stepped in, and recognising the doctor, said: 'Och, an' sure, an' it's Docther J I perseve.' "fhat's my name, sir; but I haven't the plcasnre of knowing you,' respond- ed the polite doctor. 'Iudude! lent I'm the felly what made yer last boots, and which yer honor forgot to get a resate for tho payment ov!' ,The ladies tittered, the doctor's memory was refreshed, and Paddy got his money and gave the 'resate' when the doctor got to his destination. CAN A BODY EAT WITH 'EMI—An e'derly lady who was handling a pair of artificial plates in a dental office, and admiring the fluency with which the dentist described them, asked him— 'Can a body eat with these things?' My dear madam, mastication can bo performed with them with a facility scarcely excelled by nature horse f,' responded the dentist. 'Yes, I know, but can a body eat With 'em?' replied the woman.

BALTIMORE, May 24.—There is but little change in the condition of affairs at Norfolk. The Mayor and menbera of the city council still refuse to take the oath of allegiance. Gen. Wool had an interview with them yesterday, but they continued in sulks so that he now refuses all iuterconrse with the people of Norfolk and Portsmouth; even the little business they have been doing in the way of strawberries and peas is now stopped. Gen. Wool sent up a proclamation to Norfolk this morning, notifying the people that the matter was entirely in their own hands, so that as soon as they would acknowledge the suprema- cy of the Government they will enjoy its fostering aid, but while they remain in their present mood, they will be cut off from all advantages of trade and commerce. The city will be governed by strict martial law. He also assures them that no contingency can possibly arise whereby Norfolk can again be given up to the control of the rebel Government, and that those who en- terte n Union sentiments can give ex- pression them with ample aesurance of the protecr;on of all their rights as citizens of the United States. Most of the stores are now open and the sale of such goods as they have is now pro greasing. As far as can be ascertained, no one is now willing to receive confederate notes at par; business is mostly done in small notes of Virginia batiks, and other chartered corporations. Govern- ment notes are received with great avidity I Tho Union men of Nashville still hold back, afraid to express sentiments openly in defense of the rebellious spirit around them. Quito an enthusiastic Union meeting was held M Portsmouth on Thursday night, end not less than 800 were pres- 1 ent, including many Unien men from l Norfolk. The course of the Govern- ment stent in refusing to allow provisions to COMA there for loyal people, was se- verely criticized, and the propriety of such a course was by no means ap- proved. Tho scarcity of provisions and nec- essarir.e of life is o great, and prices so h; ;h, that tet • poorer •Iseses have to live almost entirely on fish and oysters. The secessionists are nearly all wealthy people, who esti stand high prices, and who have lei ; in their stocks long since. There is no doubt that the de- cision of Gen. Wool is leading to great suffering among the poorer classes. ['hey have suffered beyond all endu- rance for a year. The walls of the Navy Yard build- ings are in a solid condition, and can soon bo put in order again.

The Secretary of War has made an argent call upon the Governor of the State for a -Sixth Regiment of Infantry. Confident that patriotism will in :future as 'heretofore distingu;,h our citizens, end that whatever necee,;ty for additional troops may now or hereafter exist, all Minnesotiane will cheerfully and promptly rally in defense of liberty and the country, the Commander -in Chief di- rects the immediate organization of a Regiment of Infantry, to be mustered into the service and pay of the United States for three years, or during the war, to be designated as the Sixth Reg intent Minnesota Volunteers, and to consist of ten (10) companies, each con- etitnted as follows: 11ItNiMUM.

Necessary transportation of recruits will be paid for at the current rates of stage and steamboat fare. Companies and officers of companies •will take position and rank a•cording to the date of being mustered into the United States service. Clothing, nrtns and equipments will be supplied before the Regiment leaves the State - The Regiment will be moved to the seat of war as soon as fill. By order of the Commander -in -Chief, OSCAR MALMROS, Adjutant General, State of Miuuesota New YORK, May 26.—A correspon- dent writes from Banks' division that seven thousand men bad been -attached to the rebel force in tho Shenandoah Valley, and that the whole force was to be from 18,000 to 20,000; with 34 pieces of artillery, ape of which was a 24 -pounder rifled gun. On the 9th of May he said there was a large rebel force in the mountains in that vicinity, but Gen. Banks bad enough toga to keep them in. check, but it appeara on the 15th that both Gen. Shields and Gcn. Geary were withdrawn from. Gen. Banks' com- mand, and their troops transferred to McDowell's divison. REBEL DEFENCES ON THE MISSISSIPPI- -A letter in the London Times dated Liverpool, April 25th, and written by a secessionist apparently familar with the course of the Mississippi below Cai- ro, gives an account of the rebel fortifi- cations to be encountered by our fleet after the capture of Island Ten, which is "interesting if true." It is stated that the position at Island "I'en was the weakest of all, and that there are be- tween it and Memphis two strongly for- tified points, while Memphis itself would appear to be a kind of combined 'Gibraltar and Sebastopol. Of Fort Randolph before which Foote's fleet uow lies, it is said: 'Chis is a strong defense on one of the Chickasaw bluffs, unlikely to be much effected by shells or to be captured, ex cept by attack from the land side, to which, like Columbus, it is exposed.— Before an attack of that kind can be made, West Tennessee must be occupi- ed; a district ins n ely Southern in senti- ment—and not as yet invaded. Assuming Fort Randolph to fall, he concludes, there remains before reach- ing Memphis, a formidable obstacle in an island •much better adapted for de- fence than No. Ten. 'Ibis island is surrounded by smaller ones, forming a group by which the channel is narrow- ed greatly, and the current proportion- ately increesed to rapidity. Here the southerners, who hold bath hanks of the river, have established batterries up- on them, which, with those on the head of the island, will bring a triple fire to ,converge upon any approaching object. It ie stated by those connected with the district that this island has been fortified with the utmost caro, and op- erations, eucit as those against No 10, afford little prospect of success against defences of much greater strength, and surrounded by circuinstances which en hance se greatly the difficulties of naval -attack. After this has been overcome Mem- phis may be approached. The city was fortified at the commencement of the war, and the year which has since elapsed has afforded ample time to strengthen it. The river front of the bluff is crowned with a rampart of cot- ton in bales eight feet deep, packed with sand and secured with heavy tim- ber. The old Navy Yard is converted into a battery. and another commands the mouth of Wolf River, while heavy grins are planted at intervals along the ridge of the bluff. On the land side a deep ravine or bayou runs south from Wolf River, and encircles the town at a favorable distance from it.— This strong and natural defense is said to be continuously lined with redoubts. Hence no operation has yet been at- tempted by the North which approach- es in difficulty the capture of Memphis. ir7 A letter from Richmond says that copies of the New York Tribune a:e regularly smuggled into the South, for the purpose of copying articles from it to keep the people inflamed Nihilist the North. WHSHINGTON, May 25.—We have passed a very exciting day in Wash- ington. The intelligence received last evening to the effect that Gen. Banks had fallen back from Strasburg to Winchester, was understood to indicate rather a precautionary measure on his part, than the result of any immediate movement of the enemy. The news of this morning, announ- cing the occnpation of Winchester by Jackson, and the withdrawal of Banks, after an engagement of six hours, in the direction of Martinsburg and Harper'e Ferry, placed matters in a new light, end aroused serious appre- hensions, not only for the safety of his little command, but for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the city of Balti- more and the Capital. Later in the day, the reports of the rioting in Bal timore, and the route of the entire force of Banks --the quick march and over, whelming number of Jackson's forces greatly intensified the excitement. The secesh sympathizers, too greatly elated to conceal their joy, openly ex- pressed their belief that the hosts 01 .Jeff. Davis will overrun Maryland and the District, within 24 hours. The report of the rioting in Balti- more is doubtless greatly exaggerated, this evening. At no time since the disaster of Bull Run have they been so vaunting and defiant. muster without delay all the militia or ganizations wilthin their respective di. visions, or under their control, together with all persons willing to join their command, and proceed forthwith to the city of Washington, or such ether points as may be indicated by future orders. MASSACHUSETTS RESPONDS. BOSTON, May 26.—The following is published this morning, by the Gov- ernor apd-Commander-in-chief: The•wily and -barbaroushorde of traitors to the people, to the govern- ment and to :iberty menace again tbe national capital. ,They have attacked and routed Maj. Gen. Banks, and are, advancing on Harper's Ferry, and are marching on Washington. The Pres- ident calls on Massachusetts to rise once more for its rescue and defence.— The whole active militia w;ll be sum- moned by a general order issued from the office of the Adjutant General, to report on. Boston Common, to -morrow. They will march to relieve and avenge their brethren and friends—to oppose with fire, zeal and courageous pats lot ism, the progress of the foe. May God encourage their hearts and strengthen their hands, and inspire the Governs ment and people. with the intention of being removed. but the rapid action of General Wool prevented their removal. Numerous wrecks sunk in the river and harbor by the rebels are all to be removed forthwith, including the wrecked .Merrimac. A large number of fuses and shells were obtained from the latter yesterday. General Burnside has seized all the Commissioners of the town of Eden- ton, North Carolina, viz : J. C. Bland, A. J. Lover, Itooglever, S. A. Bowl and F. L. Roberts, and taken them to his headquarters at Newborn. The 5th cotnmissiouer was not ar- rested, being confined to his bed by sickness. They are held as hostages, fur the safe return of Mr. White, a Union pi- lot, who was seized by the commission- ers, while on a visit to his wife at Edenton. The Confederates threaten to hang Mr. White, and Gen. Burnside intends that all the commissioners shall awing for it in case the Confederates execute their threat. They were taken to Newbern in the steamer Ocean Wave, in charge of Major Jardine and a guard from his regiment, the Ilawkins Zouaves. AFFAIRS IN NASHVILLE.

WASHINGTON, May 26. --Tho fol- lowing'was received at the War De- partment'aN,11 P. M: WILLIAMSPORT, 4 o'clock P. M.—TO eke Presiden: I have the honor to re- port the safe arrival of my command at this place last evening, at 10 o'- clock, and the passage of the 5th corps across the river to -day with compara- tively little loss of men in killed, wounded and missing in the different eugagements in which my comtnand participated, since the march iron, Strasburg, on the morning of the 24th. I am now unable to report it. Though serious, our lose is much less than might have been anticipated, consid- ering the very great disparity of forces engaged and the lung matured plans of the enemy, which aimed at nothing less than the entire capture of our forces. My command eno,uotered the enemy in a succession of attacks, and in well contested engagements at Strasburg, Middletown, Ns..eton, and a point be- snrrounding tuetu. The first fi;rtlt•raid tepmise took p1;r:e east of the buenans doali, and finding the force of the en- emy ton great, Col. Kenley retreated to the west side, destroying the principal bridge. The last fight took place about forty miles this side of Front Royal, the ef- fort being to fall back in order—ex' pecting reinforcements momentarily from Gen Banks. A member of Knapp's battery who escaped, says the Maryland regiment fought bravely, and that Col. Kenley led there frequently to bayonet charges. Ile also says that on the third approach of Ashley's cavalry he displayed a white flag until within pistol range, when Col. Kenley ordered. them to cease firing. The white flag was then thrown down, and the enemy rushed on our troops, cutting and slashing and refusing all quarter. NASHVILLE, Msy 23.—Anel election was held in the State yesterday for ju- dicial officers. The vote of Nashville stood for Circuit Judge, Breen, Union, Foster 570, secessionist, 706. The seces- sionists generally voted the Union ticket, regarding the election as invalid. Gov. Johnson will give no commis- sion to secessionists elected. The president and cashier of the Bank of the Union were arrested yes- terday by order of Gov. Johnson, on a charge of treason. The town of Pulaski has been as- sessed $1,268 by the Provost Marshal, to compensate Union merchants fur goods seized by Morgan's troops. BANK'S DIVISION DRIVEN BACK. MARTINSBURG, May 25.—In a dis- patch to Secretary Stanton, Gen. Banks says: The rebels attacked us at day break in groat force, estimated at 15,000, consisting of E;vell's and Jackson's divisions. Our right and left wings stood well for a while, when two reg- iments broke lines under fire of the en- emy. The right wing fell back and were ordered to withdraw. They pass- ed the town in considerable confusion, but reformed and continued marching in order to Martinsbug, 22 miles dis- tant. Our entire force was leas then 4,000, consisting of Gordon's and Douuely's brigades, with two regiments of cavalry. Our loss is considerable, as was that of the enemy, but cannot now be estimated. [Signed] N. P. BANKS. A prisoner captured this P. M., says the rebel force in our rear is to be strengthened and their purpose is to enter Maryland at two points, Har- pers Ferry and Williamsport. He con- firms all we have heard in regard to the rebel force here. We all passed the Potomac safe, men, trains and all, after making a march of 35 miles. [Signed] N. P. BANKS, Major Geneaal. _s_ BALTIMORE, May 26.—The following is the statement of Capt. George Smith, of the first Maryland regiment, who suceeeded in effecting his escape in the fight at Front Royal: About 10 o'clock in the morning, a negro upon horseback came dashing in- to carnp. crying out that the rebels were coming in great numbers, "and they will surround and cut you off." At first the men laughed at him, say- ing they had waited so long for them. they did 'not believe a word of it. As soon, however, as Col. Kenley saw the man, he became satisfied of their ap- proach. Thera teas a very strong column of cavalry, said to be four squadrons and eight companies, and five regiments of infantry. Of this force two regiments of infantry and two squadrons of cav- alry were fording the stream, the water being very low. The order "double quick was given and the federate took to the Pike where another stared was made, tial. Kenley addressing the wen, and telling them that their only chance was to stand and tight to the last, es- pecially as the rebel cavalry were fast pushing on, displaying a black ti tg. A second stand was made and many shots exchanged, when the New York cavalry. still in the rear of the column, broke and retreated, riding through the ranks of the infantry. The Maryland command retired to a wheat field, and there made another stand, firing rapidly with deliberate de vision. On carne the rebel cavalry, cuttinn right and left, yelling like lu- diane. In some instances neither the dying or wounded were spared. In two instances the Captain saw the rebels draw their pistols and shoot them in the head whilst lying in the road. The Captain told the men they had better escape as best they might. IMPORTANT PRESIDENTAL ORDER.

After a spirited fight of one hour, the rebels were put to flight iq 'utter confusioti, and their flight soon became a rout.' Col. Crooks captured four rifled can- non, one so near iris position that it was loaded with cannister, and cais- sons, and eight rounds of ammunition. The rebels in the early part of the fight carried off their killed and wounded, but left on the field 38 dead, including several officers, and 66 wounded. One hundred prisoners were captured among them Lieut. Major Edgar, and other officers. 'Three hundred stand of arms ware t:.ken.

J. Bovss DODS' IMPERIAL Wire Berries, and itt this short period they have given such universal satisfaction to the maby thonsands of persons who hnvo tried them that it is now an establisheAl article.— The amount of bodily and ,meetal misery arising simply ft om a neglect of small ecm- plaints is surprising, and therefore 11 1, of the utmost importance that a strict attention to the least and most trifling ailment should be had; for diseases of the body must invari- ably affect the mind. The subscribers now only ask a trial of Dr.J.Bovee Dod's Imperial Wint Bitterg from all who have not used them. We chal- lenge the world to produce their equal. These Bitters for the cure of Weak Stom- achs, General Debility, and for Purif1 ing and Enriching the Blood, are absolutely unsur- passed by any other remedy on earth. To be assured of this, it is only necessary to make the trial. The Wine itself is of a very superior quality, being about one third stron- ger than other wines; warming and invigor• Ming the whole system from the head to the feet. As these Bitters are tonic and altera- tive in their character, so they strengthen and invigorate the whole system and give a fine tone and healthy action to all its parts, by equalizing the circulation, removing ob- structions, and producing it general warmth. They are also excellent for diseases and weak - nes peculiar to Females, where a tonic is required to strengthen and brace the system. No lady, who is subject to lassi- Inde and faintnestis should be without them, as they are revivify in their action. THESE BITTERS Will not only Cure, bat preverrt Disease and in this respect are doubly valuable to the person who may 1100 them.

As a Beverage, they are wholesome, inno cent and delicious to the taste. They pro duce all the exhilereting effects of Brandy or Wine, without intoxicating; and are a valua- ble remedy for peisons addicted to the use of exe.easive strong drink, arid who wish to re- frain from it.

These Bitters not only Cure, but Prevent Disease, and should be used by all who live in a country where the water is bad, or where Chills and Fevers are prevalent. Being en- tirely innocent and harmless, they may be given freely to Children and infants with iin• punity.

Boyce Dods' Celebra- ted Imperial Wine Bitters, had them tested by two distinguished medical practitioners who pronounced them a valuable remedy for disease. Although the medical men of the country. as it general thing disapprove of Patent Med- icines, yet we do not believe that a respecta ble Physician can be found in the United States, acquainted with their medeal l'neip- erties,'who will not highly npprove Dr. J.

For kissing a homely one, 82,00— the extra amount being added, proba- bly, as a punishment for the man's folly For ladies kissing each other, $10,00 —the tax is placed at this rate in order to break up the custom altogether, it being regarded by our M. C. as a piece of inexcusable absurdity. For every flirtation, 10 cents. For every young man who has more than one "goal," to be taxed 85,00. For courting in the kitchen, 25 cents Courting in the sitting room fifty cents. Courting in the parlor, 81,00. Conrtiug in a romantic place, $1,00; and 50 cents for each offense thereafter. Seeing a lady home from church, 25 cents for each offense. So ing a lady home from church so- ciety, 5 cents --the proceeds to be ap- propriated to the rel:ef of disabled army chaplains.

LANGLEY VAN AUIEN & LANGLEY, HOW HEALTH BRIGHTENS THINGS,— Nature has so knit the mind and body together, that they act and react upon each other. 'Who has not felt that the state of health gives a coloring to ev- erything that happens to him? One man, whose health is depressed, sees ' is own fireside, that used to burn so cheerily, only colored with gloom and sadness. Another, of a bright and joyous mind, in the full vigor of health, will go forth, and the very desert to that man's eye will rejoice, and the very wilderness to his view will blos- som as the rose, and the saddest strains in Nature will sound to him the most joyous and brilliant. A suf- ferer goes out and 'coke on Nature, and its roses all become thorns, its myrtles all look like briars, and the sweetest minstrelsy of the grove and fotest sounds to him like a wild wail- ing minor running through all the sounds of Nature.

The rebels threw the main body of their army, composed of their best troops, on our left wing, and after two days' hard fighting, were compelled to retire, leaving twelve hundred of their dead en the field. Our loss is two hundred killed and wounded. Our troops cap tured five hundred prisoners. Jeff Da- vis and Gov. Letcher are reported to have been ou the field . The fate of Richmond is sealed, and it is believed, will soon fall into our bands. Many rumors aro prevalent of fight- ieg ir, the Valley of the Shenandoah.

The London Illustrated Sews devotes a column and more of its broad pages to the criticism of the diplomatic cor- respondence of our Secretary of State, and, strange thing among the London ournals, praises with great earnestness and warmth the remarkable ability it displays.

The American cataclysm though it has produced no great Gene- ral able to educe order from the unaver• sal wreck of things, has at least brought forth a Minister of Foreign affairs worthy of the occasion. Earl Russell has recognized it a signal manner the ability of the man with whom he has already broken several lances, and ex- changed many vows of amiiy by repub• lisbing and laying before Parliament the entire Congressional public document containiug the correspondence between Mr. Seward and the representatives of the federal government in ell parts of the world, We venture to believe that no candid mind can turn from the pe- rusal of this voluminous correspondence without acknowledging that it is a last ing monument of Mr. Seward's indus- try and genius. With what a dextrous and happy art he expatiates on the same theme to each ambassador, with- out once suggesting to the reader the idea of a repetition! How prodigally be scattered gems of political philoso- phy, quaint apothegms, felicitous ap- peals to the nobler sentiments of our nature, dashed here and there (but very rarely) with a tinge of resentment anis menace! Let us imagine Edmund Btuko or William Gladstone at the Foreign Office privileged to disregard the fetters which tradition, routine and the proprieties and conventionalities of office impose upon our Ministers of horeign Affairs, and further privileged to open a nets account in the national ledger with each foreign nation, de- pendency and colony. Tho position would bo analogous to that of Mr ISew- nrd in 1861; and the literary result in the line of essay, disquisition and rhet- oric would probably be far from dis- similar. The American Secretary seems to have thought the official style of British diplomatists and of bis im- mediate predecessors in office too bard and dry to suit bis purposes, and to have hit on a medium between that and the florid sententiousness which characterizes the choicest effusions of the Chanceries of the Celestial Empire." Here the writer quotes several pithy passages from Mr. Seward's dispatches, gives an account of his political life, and ends with the assertion that Great Britain has no better friend among for. eige secretaries than the chief our De- pattment of State. Stich a recognition mast compensate him to some extent for the umeasured abuse heaped upon him in other quarters. GEN'L HEADQUARTERS, STATE OF MINNESOTA, ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, St. Paul, Min., May 31st, 1862. GENERAL ORDER NO. 8. In conformity with authority re- ceived from the War Department, Major General Halleck will immedi- ately send recruiting officers from the Army of the West to this State, to re- cruit for our regiments. While tho Minnesota Regiments in the Army of the Mississippi have lost many men, the gallant Minnesota Secs and has sustaind the most severe losses on the battle field and by the hardships incident to an active campaign, and its thinned ranks appeal most earnestly for succor to the sympathy and patriot- ism of our citizens. Our brave eons in the Army of the Mississippi have nobly done their duty, and the people of Minnesota will no doubt gladly avail themselves of the opportunity to fight by the side of comrades who have already achieved an imperishable reputation for our young State. Let our Regiments bo completed and made effective without delay. By order of the Cotntnanderain- Chief. OSCAR MALMROS, Adjutant General. IlzrThe New Orleans Delta says that 15,000 bales of cotton were burnt in that city on the approach of our guns boats to the city. The tobacco, being all held by foreign residents on foreign account, was not destroyed. The spe- cie of the banks, to the amount of tweive:or fifteen millions, was removed from the city and deposited in a secure place. A writer to the Mobile Tribune says be saw 12,000 hales of cotton rolled out on the levee at New Orleans, in one sheet of flame. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel wants to know why the sugar and tobacco were not destroyed, and adds: "There is no jus- tice in placing the whole burdens and destruction of ,;this war on the cotton merchants and planters," "There is a magazine at York- town which has not yet been opened, every one fearing that !some secret spring will blow it up. It is under- stood, however, that it will be under. mined, and the powder being taken out, all fear will be gone. Such fears as these are not foolish. Torpedoes and infernal machines of all kinds have met the Union army at every step. 17A letter from McClellan's army says that three thousand Georgians, whose term of enlistment bad expired in the rebel army, were told they must continue in service. They loaded their guns, and officers and men all refused to obey the order, aid no one dated to make them do it. The result was that they have disbanded and gone home. NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. FRONT ROYAL, TA., RE -OCCUPIED. WASHINGTON, May 31.-A dispatch received at the War Department Days a brigade of our troops preceeded by four companies of the Rhode Island cavalry entered Front Royal yesterday morning at eleven o'clock and drove out the enemy, consisting of the 8th Louisiana and fonr companies of the 12th Georgia, and a body of cavalry. Our loss was eight killed, four wounded and one missing, all of the Rhode Island cavalry, We captured eighteen of our troops taken by the enemy at Front Royal a week ago, among whom were several officers. We captured a large amount of trans p� rtation including five engines and eleven railroad cars. Our advance was so rapid that the enemy was surprised and was therefore not enabled to burn the bridge across the Shenandoah. A dispatch from Gen. Banks to the Secretary of war, says that the 5th New York Cavalry entered Martins- burg this morni_n,,g and passed several miles beyond, waren they encountered the enemy's cavalry and captured sev- eral prisoners, a wagon, muskets, am• munition, &c. At the latest advices the rebels were about Front Royal in considerable force, and Gen. Banks' forces were pushing on, having fought a brisk bat tie and completely defeating the enemy. It is safe for loyal people to act as if they heard good news. It is reported here today that the wife of the rebel Gen. Lee wi'l not be released until tha rebels fulfill their agreement to give up Col, Corcoran. FROM TIIE MISSISSIPPI FLEET. CAIRO, May 3I. -A Memphis refu- gee who left Fort Wright on Tuesday, arrived to -day. Ila says the rebels have 1,500 artillerists garrisoning the Fort, and that in consequence of the scarcity of coal most of the rebel gun- boats have been abandoned, and the guns taken to Fulton and Fort Ran- dolph. A strong pontoon bridge bad be constructed by the rebels near F Wright, over which they can retro when necessary. Arkansas refugees who art iv'l fro the fleet to -day, says Litt's Rock t, fully occupied by the l',:;',.d, and tb what citizens reuluia are decidedly to al, the tents of the enemy standing. They took hundreds of barrels of beef, and 700 stand of arms in a large encamp- ment on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, said to belong to Price and Van Dorn's forces, who left on Thursday night. The rebels are being brought in, in sqnads of forty to fifty. Our cavalry found the rebels in strong position, with artillery supported by infantry. The rebels oommenced moving their sick last Monday. Beauregard and Bragg were at Cor- inth on Thursday afternoon. The recently pnblised card of the army correspondents, gives an erron- eous impreesion that General Halleck has prohibited the reporter of the New York Associated Press, with bis army, from telegraphing anything but such items as he approves. General Hal- leck has never used such influence with the Associated Press dispatches, and prohibited only such items as are of a contraband character. BATTLE NEAR RICH31OND. WASHINGTON, June 1. -The follow• ing dispatch was received at the War Department this afternoon: FIELD OF BATTLE. June 1, P. M. - We have had a desperate battle, in which the corps of Gene. Sumner, Heintzleman and Keyes were engaged, agtinst greatly superior numbers - Yesterdny, at one o'clock, the enemy, taking advantage of the storm which flooded the valley of the Chickahom- iny, attacked our right flank. Gen. Casey's division, which was in the first line, gave way unaccountably. This caused temporary confusion, during which the guns and baggage were lost, but 'rieintzelman and Kearney most gallantly brought up their troops, which checked the enemy; at the same time I succeeded by great exertion in bringing across Generals Sedgwick's and Richardson's divisions, who drove back the enemy at the point of the bay- onet,covering the ground with his dead. This morning the enemy attempted to renew the conflict, but was everywhere repulsed. We have taken many pris- oners, a•nong whom were General Pet, tegrew an Colonel Long. Our loss is NOTICE TO DELINQUENT TAX PAYERS.

Among officers and men dissatisfac- tion was very general. They were liv- ing upon halt rations of bacon and hall bread. The fugitives state that Jeff. Davis had been heard to say That he would make the streets run with blood before surrendering. Col. Ilawkins, of the N. Y. 9th reg- iment, with twenty men, arrived here in the Port Royal last night, having left Roanoke Island yesterday morn- ing, and passed up by way of Uarrituc Sound, and thence by canal to Eliza- beth river; thns the inland route is open, by which Gen. Burnside's de - pa trent may communicate with the Capital without the risk of the passage outside of Cape Hatteras. Several sloops and schooners flying American flags have been allowed to proceed to Baltimore. By special invitation of the officers of the British war steamer Rinaldo, Gen. Viele, military Governor of this city, paid a visit to that vessel yester- day, and was received with the greatest kindness and courtesy, and with tho honors of a salute of 17 guns, and manning of yards. The American en- sign was displayed at the foremast. The Rinaldo left this morning and will pro- ceed to sea. Preparations are making on an extensive scale for a grand Union demonstration, to take place shortly. The oath of allegiance has been ad- ministered to nearly two thousand citi- zens. They offer themselves in large numbers every day to take it volunta- rily. It is not made compulsory upon any one. If the sentiment of the proposed meeting should be satisfactory to Gen- eral Wool, it would probably induce the President to open the port. A report comes in from our scoots who are advanced some miles beyond Suffolk, that the city of Petersburg is to be or has been evacuated by the rebels. The seaboard and Roanoke Railroad, it has been asserted, is in good order as far as tie Blackwater river. When Craney Island was evacuated the sutler loaded is goods on a sloop and endeavored to save them. The sloop was found today with the goods a few miles below the island, upon the beech, The property is supposed to be worth three or four thousand dollars, and was taken charge of by the provost marshal. FURTHER FROM CORINTH.

This ac- counts for the smoke seen by signal corps from the tree tops. Col. Elliott and command returned, after destroying the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, in several places, and a large amount of stores. He captured three pieces of artillery, thirty mounted prisoners, and about 600 infantry, with but little loss on our side. He found 2,500 sick and wounded at Booms - villa.

THE WEAPON OF DESPAIR. It is a strong argument against all sweeping measures of confiscation and vindictive punishment of the rebel pop, ulation, that indiscriminate measures will only have the effect to satisfy them that their only hope is in fighting to the last extremity. It appears to us that we have a good illustration of this in the manner in which the Richmond' Dispatch of May Oth improves upon an unfounded story about the•arrests made in Nashville. It says: "It is said that nine hundred of the citizens of Nashville have been arrested and will be tried for treason. The punishment for what the Yankees call treason is death, and this is the fate which these tyrants will really execute upon all the South who will practical- ly maintain that doctrine of the sover- eignty of the States in which they were educated from childhood, and which no one, either in the North or South, has ever disputed, up to the present war. - The whole programme of the invaders is worthy the dark ages. The scaffold is to groan with victims, and the whole property of the Southern people to be taken from them. It is well that they have permitted the cloven foot to be seen thus early.,ilt is well that theyhave giv- en the Southern people the unmistaka- ble sign of what is in store for them They hava convinced the most incredu- lous that it is idle as it is unmanly to expect clemency or compassion at their bands. When they entered Nashville they were gentle and bland in their professions, till they had almost lulled the suspicions into security; but tate threat of Mr. Cook -that they should deal with the rebellion with gloves off -is already found to be something more than an empty menace. Thera is no hope whatever for the South except in such resistance as men make to out- laws and pirates." 'Facts have come to light, which show that English fund finds their way South. Scarcely a dead body of the rebel soldiery on the fields of the pen- insula but their pockets contained Eng- lish silver. A friend and officer of the army, just from the field of operations. had an English shilling taken from the body of one of the dead rebels, and he arserts that this is the case with almost all of their dead. Last fall English Bank of England notes were very cons• mon in Richmond amongst the rebel magnates. g bea•ingdate the 16th day of Septem- ber A.D. 1856, filed for record in the cfSc • of rho Register of Deeds of Dakota county of the State of Minnesota, on the 6t11 day of ot October A.D. 1856 at 6 o'clock r" M. and duly recorded therein upon pages 723 and 724 of book B of mortgages, whereby said mortgagors conveyed unto said mortgagee that tract of land lying in said Dakota coun- ty, described as the north-west quarter of section twenty•four (24) in township ouehun- 1rcd and fourteen (114), north of range nine- teen (19) west, to secure the payment to said mortgagee, or his order, of the sutra of four hundred and eiglity•four ($484) dollars, according to the cenditioas of a certain prom issory note of even date, executed by the said mortgagors R.

With characteristic slowness, Virginia did nothing to prepare a monument until 183:3, upwards of fifty years. Finally a movement was inaugurated in the last mentioned year, by laying the corner stone, whieh Rome of us are old enough to remember with pleasure. There was then another long slumber' nearly thirty years. How loug it might have lasted but for the presence of a Northern army, we, not having the gift of prophecy, donot undertake to retie,. General McDowell, as we learn, has directed that his army shall complete this monument. Nothing can be more appropriate. It contains a • beautiful compliment to one of the noblest of Virginia ladies; it marks the devotion of Washingtou to the Union, for the sake of which the Union }more one so dear to him, and it indicates the spirit in which our armies move to their work; one of civtlizatiou, not of barbari6M; one of taati nut of brutality; one of construction not of destruotien. While the ladies of the secession re. gion seem to forget their very nature in the madness of their course, our bearded men become ',daily in the ar- my itself. Each one, as he stands be- side the monument of the mother of Washington, remembers his own cooth• er.—Phila. Bulletin. Ze3"'The Hudson Gazette says that the steamer Oregon was delayed on the raver by a dense fog a few days since, and wee compelled to "lay to" for sev- eral hours.

Ltrrta Tmage.—As daylight can be seen through very small holes, so little things will illustrate a person's character. Indeed, character consists its liltlesote, daily life being the quarry from which we build it up, and rough-. hew the habits that fora and stamp it. 2V -In the choice of a wife, take the This is so. • obedient daughter of a good mother. ministers hold an office without metes and bounds, tbry may preach on all subjects. and ought to understand them all. But tbe idea is absurd. No civil government could exist, if the functions of the different offices were not defined and limited. Tho ministerial office ex erts on the interests of men a wider in (knee than any other; and as, within its legitimate sphere, it is en inestima- ble blessing, so when perverted, it is fearfully mischievous. The time is at hand when this great gnestion respecting the limits within which tho fuuctions of the ministerial office aro to be exercised, must be earn- estly discussed. For, it is admitted, that to a very great extent the proper work of the ministry is neglected, whilst thoee elothed with the sacred of. flee havo traveled beyond the limits of their commission iu search of exciting and popular topics; and the proVaiiiiig excitement will render it extremely difficult to arrest the down ward pro- gress of the pulott. But another stele of things, not refer. red to in the discourse of Dr. Hawes, has arisen within the last three years.— The derean 1 is made upon ministers of the Gospel. not to instruct their people in the truths of God's Word, not well understood, not to inculcate some im- portant precept of the Gospel demand- ed by the state of the community, ,not to hold foal' some precious promise, not to oppose some error or vice becom jig prevalent, but to define their posi- tion respectin some exciting question of the day—a question, it may be, the examinatiou ot which falls not within the sphere of their studio. But the public have become excited; atel the minister iumt define his position. It is not enough that it is chergable with uu word or act to which exception can be taken. It is not enough that, like Paul, he docs not shun to declare the whole counsel of God. His private opinions on the excitiug tepie avast be brought out; and, it must be known wiaelter his sympathies are all right:— The feelings of his heart in the matter must bo brought out. Now 60 fer as my reading goes, there is scarcely any thing in the history of despotism, that cap equal this popular tyranny. The Inquisition of Rome has never carried matters 80 far. Yet wo boast of our free coantryl Where will this thing stop? What are the consequences? The Minister yields to the elarnoe, and de- clares his position. Now, since, in the nature of the case,.there mug bo a dif- ferences of opinion about such 'ques- tions, the preacher's deliverance gloms offense to some of his pecple. Then begin debates, and etrifes, and divi- sione. When I entered the ministry, the Presbyterian Church was one noble body. It is now divided into Jive, and there is reason to fear further divieions. Other churches have passed through a similar expetience. Where is this thing to terminate? I do not hesitate to ex- press the conviction, that tmlees church- es and ministers can be aroused to bee the danger, that in less than five years their liberties will be gone. Every time yon yield to the clamor, ,you but increase its boldness. Admit, that min- isters may be called out in this way, and the day is at hand when mobs will dictate the doctrines yon shall hoar, en d tho churches, .. pra ye rsthat shall be offered in the HO.

Replete with jukes, both original and selected, he was not slow in hashing them up and dealing them out in small doses to different persons and on differ- ent occasions. One evening at a party, ayoung gen- tleman, on cutting joke, feeling himself in- sulted challenged the Colonel to mortal COMbat. The challenge wits accepted. Having the choice of weapons and the appointment of the place of meet - WHAT WE Sow WE SHALL REAP.— There was once an old man whose eyes had ',nom dim, his ears deaf. When he sat at the dinner table, he could hardly hold on to his spoon, so that sometimes he spilt his soup on the cloth. His son and daurgtater-in- law' were much displeased with this; at last they put him in a corner behind the stove, and gave him food in EC little earthen pail. Ile never got as much as he could eat, and he would often look towards the table with wet yet longing eyes. •One dory his shaking.handslet the little dish fall, and it , was broken:— The wotnan scolded, but he said nothe ing; he only sighed. They brought a wooden trough for him. Onto as he was sitting thus in the corner, his little grandchild, about four years old, was playing on the floor near him, with some pieces of wood. 'What are you making?' asked the father smiling. 'I am making a trough,' answered the child, 'for father and mother to eat from when they are old and I am grown big.' The man and bis wife looked at each other in silence. They brought their old father back to the table and gave hint as much as he wished, and they neer again spoke angry when his trembling hands spilt soup on the cloth. DECIDINQ A CA6E.—A fernier went to the house of a lawyer to consult isbn professionally. He was answered negatively. After a moment's hesitation, a thought re• hoed hint: 'Mebby yerself, can gi'me informa., tion, as well's the ,queer, as ye'ro hie wife.' The kind lady promised to do so if she found it in her power, and the oth- er proceeded as follows: 'Spoaz yo was au old white !near, and I should borry yo to gwang to mill with a grist on yer back, and wo should Sit no Ander than Stain Hill, ing, the Colonel told theto "ung maan. when alt at once ye should back up, repair on the following morning u o'clock to a certain spot, and add uparid rear , and kneel down back- -le that ho would see that the weapons worewards, and break yer darned old neck, there _ who'd pay for ye? Not I—darn nao if . I would.' The lady smilingly told him, as she closed the door. that as he had himself twitted the question, advice would bo euperfluoue. The following morning at the indi- cated time the young man repaired to the appointed spot,—said spot being anions!, the lead mines, wag naturally furrowed with mineral holes. "Well, yonngster," said the Colonel, sticking his hands in his pockete, and ejecting a superfluous quantity of to- bacco juice from his capacious mouth, "aro you ready 1' Receiving an affirin• ative answer, he continued : eliere's where we aro to fight,' point- ing to a mineral shaft near by, which was at least fifty feet deep, 'mud here are our weapons," pointing to a pile of rocks.

The country was sometime ago in- formed, on what seemed to be "reliable authority," that the expenditures of the Governmegt were fully three mil- lions of dollars per day. A great deal of astonishment and some appre- hension was felt at the statement.— People were justly puzzled and alarmed WRONG, MY COUNTRY." at the idea of the nation plunging into debt at the rate of one thousand mil - HA S T INGS, MINNESOTA, lions of dollars per year. It nowap- 1gG2 pears that the average expenditures of the Government have not been one million of dollars per day. The New York Commercial Adver- tiser says of a speech made on Tnee- ,iay, by Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts: "He showed, on authority which is en• tirely trustworthy, that the whole ex- penses of the present Administration, for a period of fourteen months and eighteen days, amounted to only 8441,- 000,000, which was three millions less than one million per day on the aver- age. The entire indebtedness, includ- ing the seventy millions bequeathed by the last Administration, was 481,796,- 135, on the 22d of May." The speech of Mr. Daws was in re- ply to Voorhees of Indiana, who made out that onr National debt would soon amount to six thousand million dol- lars. Mr. Daws said: "The expenditures of all the depart- ments of the government, outside of the war and the navy, since the Ad- ministration came into power, are as follows: For the Interior Department, Indians and pensions to the 22d of May, $3,681,880; civil list, foreign in- tercourse and miscellaneous, 821,635,- 010, making a total of nearly 825,- 367,000. The expenditures of the politicians, and joined her fortunes to \Vag Department during that time the Southern Confederacy. amounted to 374,172,000, and the na- vy during the same time 842,055,000, or a total of $416227,000. The av- erage daily expenditures in the War Department have been 8897,295, and those of the navy $100,852—making the average in both departments $998,- 147. No requsitions are unpaid ex- cepting of a few thrusand dollars for illegality or disloya'ty. The pay- ments last Thursday were only 8864,- 917; yet the day after when the pay- masters came in, the expenditures were 82,000,000; but on Saturday only $500,000. So the expenditures of the government up to the 22nd of May in- stant, in round numbers, were: For the military, 837.4,000,000; navy 842,- 000,000; all other expenditures, $25,- 000,000—a total of $441,000,000.— From the 4th of March, 1861, till the 22d of May, the public debt, including 870,000,000 old debt, bequ ithed by Buchanan, amounted in the aggregate on the 23d ult to 8481,796,145. Mr. Dawes run a parallel between the ex- penditures under the former adminis- tration and the preseut, showing, as to the civil list, this administration has been far more honest and economical than that." The expenditures of the Govern, ment have been greater in the past than they will be in the future. Vast sums of money have been laid out in ships and arms. The creation of the enormus artillery force which is now so effective an arm of our military de- partment, involved lavish outlays of money. Our coast expeditions have cost us extravagantly. Arms have been procured at great cost. In fact we were not prepared for war, and have been obliged to make up for our want of preparation. We have now made cur permanent investments in war material, and the current expendi• tures will be diminished. The esti- mate that the war was costing us three millions per day, was made just at the time that hundreds of vessels were chartered for the transportation of McClellan's army from Alexandria to Fortress Monroe, and while an immense fleet of steamers were conveying Gen- eral Grant's army up the Tennessee river. The great cost of these vessels of course swelled the aggregate daily expenditures greatly, but yet the three million estimate was much too large even for that time. WHAT WILL BEAUREGARD AND JEFF. DAVIS Dol—Colonel Forney writes from Washington to the Philadelphia Press as follows: JUNE 12, C. STEBBINS, Editor. CAPTURE OF MEMPHIS. The brief despatches of Sunday morning, annoucing the capture ,of Memphis, is fully confirmed. The city is in our possession, and the stars and stripes float over the public buildings. A sharp naval engagement with the rebel gunboats and rams, preceded the surrender, and the rebel flotilla was nearly destroyed. One year ago last May an infuriated mob trailed in the dust and stamped upon the United States flag opposite the marble statute of Andrew' Jackson on Court Square, which born this inscription "the Union must and shall be preserved," and no Southern city has since felt to more pernicious and blasting extent tde evils of seces- sion than the city of Memphis, and no- where has the frenzy of hate and blood- thirstiness more developed. But she has had cause to bitterly rue the hour when she snbmited to the fire eating She had been the second most im- portant cotton mart of the South. No less than twelve regular packet and mail lines, embracing over forty steam, boats, brought trade to her mercantile and industrial classes, and travelers to her hotels. Her population comprised the individual enterprising element of the North to an extent that told ad- vantageously on her prosperity; and she bid fair to become, and was fast becoming the rival of St. Louis. That is all now a thing of the past. Her commerce is at an end; Ler industry, except in branches connected with the war, is utterly ruined; her industrial classr's are either driven away North- ward or absorbed in the rebel army— in a word, her prosperity is brought to nought, and it is not a matter of sur- prise that her citizens now desire "to see the old order of things restored." L r A large Union meeting was held at Columbia, Tennessee, June 2nd There were fifteen hundred present, and the deepest interest was exhibited.— Ex-Governor Neil Brown, in addres- sing the meeting said, in his judgment, the rebellion was played out, and Tens nessceans ought now to be all Union for Tennessee was lost forever to the Ccns federacy. Common sense showed the fully of contending against the Federal government, and the longer the war was kept up the worse it would be for the South. Governor Brown has been a prominent rebel and a member:of the Confederate military board of Tennes- see. Governor Johnson made a very powerful speech of two hours, in which he said the government should not be given to traitors but to loyal men.— His speech was loudly applauded.— The Union feeling is increasing and the people are gaining more confidence. MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.—The Mem- phis Appeal, on the 17th of May, made an elaborate calculation of the military strength of the Southern States, which led it to the very comfortable conclu- sion that, within thirty days they wo'd have in the field an ''effective army of 500,000 men, as renowned for their courage as invincible in their purpose." Just about judg ng from the results.— The Appeal further predicts that "this army will fall upon the invaders in two or more columns, drive them from the confederacy, and then proceed to pre- cipitate into the very vitals of the North, carrying fire and sword into the country of the enemy." About ten days after this prediction, Memphis it- self v;as evacuated. 1' Some weeks ago, the Senate hastily passed a bill removing all disci bililies on account of color in carrying the United States mails. Tho bill went to the House, and, after investi- gation, was unanimously reported against by the Committee on Postal Affairs. Mr. Colfax, of Indiana, show- ed that, if the bill passed, mail rob- bers in many instances would escape punishment, owing to the laws in some of the States, ruling out negro testi- mony; that under it Chinamen and Indians would become mail carriers; and that even slaveholders would can - tract to carry the mails, and then have the work done by their own slaves. 0rThe bercav-ments of the war, so far as the single city of New Orleans is concerned, have a dreadful exemplifica- tion in the appalling fact, stated by the New Crieans Delta, that there are now no fewer than 2,4000 orphan children in the several asylums of that city. "A gentleman just in from the col- umn of Halleck gives it as his opinion that Beauregard will be forced to aban- don his troops to seek safety in flight. Ile alleges that ha is completely hem- med in, and that ho cannot escape the network that has been thrown around him. If those theories are sustained by the even of the next few hours or days the rebel chiefs will hasten from the scenes of their depredations and defeats to avoid the vengeance of the Federal government. It is believed that many of them have male prepar- ations for their exodus. They will at- tempt to escape into Mexico or South America, and an idea is thrown out that they may make a last stand in Texas. But all of them -cannot get away. McClellan ought to secure Da- vis and the chief conspirators, who, if their deeds are half as bold as their words, will retnain at Richmond and share the fate of their armies. Should they be caught and sent to prison to await the fate they have so industri- ously courted and deserved, the rebel- lion will be left an object of the pity and contempt of the civilized world. It is barely possible that they may pre- fer death at the head of their columns to the punishment that will surely be meted out to there by the government. 07' A correspondent writing from Halleck's camp, says that the troops suffer more from snakes, lizards, scor- pions, gallynippers, and woodticks, than from disease. Insects and reptiles are thus classed: One lizard equals five scorpions; two scorpions equal one gallynipper; one gallynipper equals one snake, one gallynipper, two scor- pious and one lizard equal one wood - tick. GETTING THEIR EYES OPEN. The cynical Saturday Review, one of the sharpest of the London weekly journals which has alternately derided and vilified our government, makes this acknowledgment: "As the war proceeds, English crit- ics of American affairs might almost teem to be changing sides. Modest observers, who have preferred the his- torical study of events to opportunities of expressing fine sentiments, acknowl- edge the remarkable vigor of a gov- ernment which appeared a year ago to be incapable of deciding between war and peace. Freedom has, in the midst of incredible folly and presumption, justified itself by the lavish expendi- ture of life and treasure which is ren- dered possible by the consent of an en• tire people." The London Examiner, a journal of more dignity and better temper than the Review, has not always been cour- teous, but is by nature comparatively civil. In one of its latest articles it points a lesson with an anecdote, which may or may not be true, but is at (east significant: "Daring the Russian war, Mr. Buch- anan, then American minister in Lon- don, in a moment of more than wonted arrogance, hinted to a member of our government, in a private conversation, that nothing would please the cabinet at Washington more than to show itself able to render England effectual service in the hour of need; and he added, that if the interposition of America were formally asked, and some little matters arranged to her satisfaction, she would undertake to gnarrantee in every event the integrity and security of tbe Old Country. 'You bead—d,' was, gossip said, the only answer given to this cons descending communication. What the inducement might possibly be which the government of France imagines it self in a position to offer for the accept- ance of its confesae fly unwelcome in- terposition, we can hardly venture to surmise. Would the threatened impo sition of a monarchy en Mexico be waived as a bribe, or is there any other will o' the -wisp concession in either hemisphere which M. de Thouvenal could bring himself gravely to propose? The Examiner goes on to argue that any attempt at intervention by foreign powers in the affairs of this country could be attended only by humiliation or disaster, and warns England not to have anything to do with it. NAPOLEON AND VICTORIA.—The Phil• adelphia Press' London correspondent hints at a little disagreement between these two distinguished individuals: "Napoleon, probably suffering an in fliction of indigestion, has snubbed Queen Victoria, and to balauce the ac- count, Lord Palmerston has given Na poleon a pretty smart knock on the knuckles. It happened in this wise: Acting under instruction, of course, Lord Cowley, British Minister at Paris bad an audience with Napoleon, in which he intimated, if bis Imperial Majesty had any purpose of visiting London during the Great Exhibition, Queen Victoria desired to place Buck- ingham Palace at his disposal, though she could not, even for him, deviate from her resolve not to receive stran- gers during her first year of widow- hood. Ili the matter of this commrt- nication surely all was friendly and well meaning. Perhaps Lord Cowley's manner made it less pleasant. At any rate the on dit is that Napoleon, hav- ing heard Lord Cowley out, curtly an• swered that he did not intend visiting London, and with a short bow, turned on his heel and stalked out of the room, leaving the poor wretch of an Ambassador very much astonished and considerably incensed. Next day the Monituer had a paragraph stating, rath- er contemptuously, that there was no foundation for the report that the Em- peror intended to honor London with his presence. This was the cause, the story runs, of Palmerston's making such a decided speech; just before Part• iament adjourned, in favor of the whole of Italy, the Popedom included, being under the sceptre of Victor Emanuel. Napoleon alone has stood in the way, since the war of 1859, of this unity of Italy being effected.— Palmerston, if all this be true, has cleverly paid off Napoleon's want of manners." ji-All sorts of ingenious methods have been resorted to for the purpose of putting a stop to the unfeminine in- sults offered by the ladies of Socessia to the Union soldiers. Punishment at all, in such a case, seems rather a small business, but if some means must be used to put a stop to the bitterness of their tongues, Governor Johnson's way of referring it to the acidity of their stomachs, and putting them under med- ical treatment, seems the beat and most effective. A single dose of rhubarb ie said to be sufficient in mild cases, bu eve the most obstinate yield to three and a powerful emetic. Andy John- son will undoubtedly put out his shin- gle as an M. D. when the war is over. tOur blockading vessels still con- tinue to pick up English steamers load- ed with Enfield rifles, gunpowder, cof- fee, quinine, clothing, &c., trying to run the blockade. About a half a doz- en vessels of this character have been recently taken. The aggregate of arms and munitions of war taken from them is very Large, and the supply quite acs ceptable. There is not likely to be any further oomplaint of the British contra- band traders that the blockade is inef- fective. So difficult a blockade was never before maintained on so long and difficult a coast by any nation. NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. LATER FROM MEMPHIS. CAIRO, June, 8.—At 8 o'clock on Monday evening the gunboats an- chored two miles above Memphis. During the night the rebel fleet moved down the river, and when day- light appeared, they were out of sight, but in half an hour afterwards were seen running up formed in line of bats tle. Our gunboats had in the mean- time weighed anchor, and, followed by several rams, moved slowly towards the rebel fleet, when a shot from the Little Rebel from a rifled gun, long range, fell within a short distance of the Ca- iro, which was in advance. The Cairo replied with a broadside, and soon the engagement became general at long range. The rams had in the meantime ad- vanced, and the rebel ram Beanregard, being some distance in advance, was singled out by the Federal rams Mon- arch and Queen of the West, each striv- ing to be the first to strike the rebel craft. The Monarch succeeded in striking ber amidships, almost cutting her in two, and causing her to sink immediatlily in the channel, di- rectly oposite the city. At this junct- ure the rebels made a dash at the Mon- arch, which was by this time in the midst of the rebel fleet, but by a skill- ful movement by the pilot of the latter she dropped out of the way, and the blow intended for ber struck the rebel boat General Price, taking away her wheel, and making it necessary for her to run ashore, where she sent a shot which, unfortunately for the rebels, struck the rebel boat General Lovell, rendering her unmanageable. Immedi- ately after she was run down by the Queen of the West. A broadside from the Benton took effect in the side of the Jeff. Thompson She ran ashore soon afterwards in flames, and was burned to the water's edge. Four of the rebel boats having been disabled, the remainder of their fleet retreated down the river, pursued by our boats, firing as they advanced, which resulted in the capture of the Sumter, Bragg, and Little Rebel, which had been abandoned by most of their crews. The rebel loss in killed, wounded and prisoners is heavy, but is not yet fully ascertained. After tho return of the gunboats from the pursuit, Commodore Davis sent the following dispatch to the May- or of the city: U.S. FLAG STEAMER BENTON, Off Memphis, June 6. SIR: I most respectfully request that you will surrender the City of Memphis to the authority of the Uni- ted States which I have the honor to represent. C. II. DAVIS, Flag Officer. In reply the Mayor said: "Your note is received. In reply I have only to say, as the civil authorities have no means of defence the city is in your hands." Immediately after a boat's crew landed and the National flag was hoist- ed over the Post Office. The party was followed by an excited crowd, but were not interfered with. The city is quiet; no demonstrations whatever have been made. It is even asserted it will not be necessary to des claro martial law. MEMPHIS, June 7.—Since the for mal surrender of the city yesterday, and the posting of pickets through the city, the excitement of the people has subsided. All was quiet during last night. The only event this morning was the capture of the rebel steamer Check, which eluded the fleet yesterday above the city, running up the slough out of sight. She was brought down this morning. Nothing is yet heard of the boat Van Dorn,wltich was the only boat of the rebel fleet that escaped yesterday. MORE DEMAND NOTES. A Dispatch Saye the Secretary of the Treasury will ask Congress to author- ize a further issue of $150,000,000 de mand Treasury notes, probably $25,- 000,000 of denominations under $5.— He will also propose for prudential and economical reasons to have all notes engraved, executed and printed in the Treasury building under the di- rect anspicies of the officers of the Department. LORD LYONS Goes TO ENGLAND. By the last steamer Lord Lyons re- ceived from his Government leave of absence for two months to visit his borne in Egglsnd. He will sail a week from Wednesday next. His visit to England at this time, though en- tirely unofficial, will it is thought, be productive of benefit to our interests abroad. There is no doubt of the fact that the President has in an official letter through the Secretary of War to Gov. Stanly, disapproved of his closing the schools at Newburn, under the alleged authority of his commission as mili- tary Governor of North Carolina.— His arolina—His duties, the President regards as of an entirely different character. He has nothing to do with opening or closing schools. Intelligence official and unofficial from North Carolina, does not confirm the reports of writers whose letters have led to the belief that the State is upon the point of returning to her loyalty. Gen. Burnside is far from desiring that any portion of his forces, naval or military, should be withdrawn. RUMORS AT RICHMOND. Private information received at one of the foreign legations at Washing- ton, states that rumors are current at Richmond that letters had been re-. calved from England announcing tbe arrival in a short time of Count de Persigny in the United States. It was also said that this voyage was under- taken at the instance of the Engll rah Cabinet, and that nothing would in done in referenoe to American affairs by either England or France before the return of the French minister. JEFF. DAVIS CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTORY. Private letters from Baltimore state that Jeff. Davie had issued an address to the rebel army, in which he desig- nates the battle of the Seven Pines as a glorious victory for the rebel arms.— He also tells them that they have taken 8,000 prisoners and large quantities of provisions and munitions of war. MOBILE ATTACHED. CIT! POINT, Va., June 6.—I have seen a copy of the Petersburg Express of the 4th inst., which states that a deeerter from Mobile informs them that the Union fleet had attacked Fort Mor- gan, having passed the batteries. WASHINGTON, June 9.—Commander Mullany reports that he captnred three schooners showing English colors, about twenty-five miles south east of Charleston Bar. The first was loaded with salt and cigars; the second called the Rebecca, of Nassau, cleared for St. John, N. B., with a cargo of salt iB sacks. The third had an assorted cargo of groceries, &c. Her register like that of the -two others is doubtles spurious. The crews of the schooners freely ad` - milted they were bound for Cbarleeton. THE REBEL LOSS IN THE LATE FIGHT. The Richmond Dispatch of the 5th states that the rebel loss in the late bat- tle was 8,000, including 5 Generals, 23 Colonels, 10 Majors and 57 Cap- tains. The Despatch complains that the Federate can at any time cut off the retreat of tho confederates, by seizing the railroad at Petersburg. FROM CHARLESTON. The following was taken from South- ern papers: CHARLESTON, June 3. --The enemy landed this morning 2,000 strong at James Island opposite the City, and a battle took place. The enemy were re pulsed, and 20 taken prisoners by the forces of Ger,. Gist. The prisoners will be sent to Selma, Alabama, im- mediately. There is still heovv firing heard in the direction of James Island, and it is rumored that a hundred more Yankees have been cut off and cap- tured. FROM GEN. HALLECS. HALLECK'S HEADQUARTERS, June 9.— The Federal forces now occupy Bald- win, Guntown, Jackson and Bolivar.— Repairs are progressing rapidly. It is estimated that 20,000 desertions have taken place since they left Corinth, mostly from Tennessee, Kentucky and Arkansas regiments. All regiments from those States passed down closely guarded on both sides by the Mississip- pi and Alabama troops. It is believed by country people that Beauregard cannot enter Columbus with half the troops he brought away from Corinth. The whole country east and south of Baldwin is full of armed soldiers returning. They are from Tennessee and Kentucky. The enemy drove and carried off everything for miles around. The wealthiest families are destitute and starving. Tho women and child- ren crying for food, the males being forced into the army. GENUINE FAIRBANKS' SCALES: The well earned reputation of our Scales has induced the makers of some other kinds to offer them as "Fairbanks' Scales," or, "From Fairbanks' Stand- ard Patterns," and purchasers have thereby in some cases been deceived. We have no controversy with hon- orable competitors, but it is proper for us to expose this fraud. If such ma- kers had faith in the merits of their own Scales, they would have no oc- cation to borrow our names.

THE PROJECT OF FOREIGN IN- TERVENTION. The London correspondent of the New York Times, thus speaks of the changed tone of the French press and the suffering in England: "The tone of the French press is cer- tainly changed, and its change may be significant. It speaks bitterly of the war, and its effects upon the industry and commerce of Europe. It talks of conciliation and meditation, but that, of course, points to recognition and intervention. That the Emperor has wished to exercise such intervention, and has been withheld solely by the scruples of England, is boldly avowed not only by the French press, but in the Englis'a pspers and in Parliament, and is nowhere denied. The English boast of their morality and scrupu- lousity in the matter—but there is no doubt now that intervention from any quarter would be welcome. The great calamity in the manufac- turing districts increases day by day. Starvation has begun just as the re- sources of the districts in the worst condition are exhausted. The people, who see starvation staring them in the face, are beginning to hold meetings. The Government shows no disposition to come to the rescue, and increase the already immense burthen of taxation. Private benevolence is aroused by ap- peals in the Timee,bnt the calamity is toe great for private benevolence to cope with. Day by day the cotton is wasting away. Prices of goods are rising, stocks are diminishing, and there is no hope of a supply from In- dia, or elsewhere, that hope, so long clung to, is now abandoned. All Lan- cashire would starve, long before cotton could 'come from any country but America. I saw very clearly, I see still, that all England, with her boasted morality, wants to -day is a decent pretext; that she is ready to throw over Palmerston and Russell for tying her up with, their declarations like a starved donkey tied to a post, and that England to -morrow, either at a chance in the policy of her own Government, or at intervention on the part of a Power less scrupulous.

SOMETHING NEW.—Anthony Zoller has just opened an assortment of con- fectionaries, &c., on Second street, South side between Sibley and Vermil- lion streets, '1'BGRNE, NORRISH & Co., have sold a large amount of goods this spring.— The secret of their success is that they keep a large assortment, and sell low.

In conformity with authority re- ceived from the War Department, Major General IIalleek will immedi- ately send recruiting officers from the Army of the West to this State, to re- cruit for our regiments. While the Minnesota Regiments in the Army of the Mississippi have lost many men, the gallant Minnesota Secs and has sustaind the most severe losses on the battle field and by the hardships incident to an active campaign, and its thinned ranks appeal most earnestly for succor to the sympathy and patriot- ism of our citizens. Our brave sons in the Army of the Mississippi have nobly done their duty, and the people of Minnesota will no doubt gladly avail themselves of the opportunity to fight by the side of comrades who have already achieved an imperishable reputation for our young State. Let our Regiments be comrleted and made effective without delay. By order of the Commander.in- Chief. OSCAR MALM.ROS, Adjutant General. COTTON AT"THE SOUTH.

On the plantations they are extremely Bim ple, and most of them very ignorant.— They all think they are going to bo emancipated by Massa Lincoln uncon- ditionally. In the city they are better informed, most of them at all events, and have a more correct knowledge of the true state of the case and:,the diffi- culties that practical emancipation has to encounter. A CAT STORY.—A philosophical old fellow was one day passing a new school house, erected somewhere tos ward the setting sun borders of the Union, when his attention was sudden. denly turned to a crowd of persons gathering around the door. He in- quired of a boy whom he met what was going on. 'Well, nothing 'cept the scule com- mittee.' 'A committee meets to -day! what for?' 'Well,' continued the boy, 'you see Bill, that's our biggest boy, got mad at the teacher and so he went around and gathered up all the dead cats— Nothin' but cats, and cats, and cats, and cats. 0, it was orful•—them cats.' 'Pshaw 1 what have the oats to do with the committee?' 'Well, you will see. Bill kept on bringing cats, and cats, alters pilin' 'em up yonder,' pointing to a huge pile as large in extent as a pyramid, and considerably aromatic, 'and he piled them—nothing but cats!' 'Never mind, my eon, what Bill did; what has the committee met for?' 'Then Bill got sick haulin' 'em, and everybody got to nosin' 'em; but Bill got madder and didn't give it up, but kept on pilin' up cats, and— 'Can't 'Can't yon tell mo what the com- mittee are holding a meeting for?' 'Why, the scule eommittee are goin' to hold a meetin' to see whether they'll move the acute house or them cats.' The old gentleman evaporated.

But climates grow warmer towards the BUREAU OF STATISTtCS, west coasts of continents, and although ST. PAUL, May, 1862. its winters are cold, the summers of SIR: Under the Homestead Law re- Minnesota aro as warm as those of cently passed by Congress, Minnesota Southern Ohio. It may eurrpriso some readers to know that the mean Bummer offers to free settlement a much larger area of the publics lands, and better adapted to successful agriculture in soil, climate and situation relatively to the great avenues of inland commerce, than any other Western State. Minnesota conthins nearly 54,000,- 000 4,000;000 acres of land. Of this the whole area appropriated by settiarnent or pur- chase is only about 6,500,000 acres, and some 8,000,000 acres have been granted for Schools, Railroads, &c., leaving nearly 40,000,000 acres—an area equal to that of all New England -- still open to free settlement under the operation of the Homestead Law. Three'quarters of this surface con- sists of rolling prairie, interspersed with frequent groves, oak openings and belts of hard wood timber, watered by numberless lakes and streams, and cov • ered with a warm, dark soil of great fertility. The rest, embracing the el evated district immediately west of Lake Superior, consists mainly of the rich mineral ranges on its shores, and of the pine forests with clothe the headwaters of the Mississippi, af- fording inexhaustible supplies of lum- ber. The climate is beuatiful, and one of the most healthful and productive on the continent. Though the winter is cold—its mean temperature being that of New Hampshire—its severity is very much mitigated by the extreme dryness (pf air, the whole average fall of moist- ure being but oneesixth that of New England. The summers on the other hand, are very warm, their mean temperature being that of Southern Pennsylvania, and the rains at this season are abund• ant and never failing, though the air continues comparatively dry. Prof. Maury pronounces it the beet watered of all the Western States. It is alike exempt from the severe drouths of Kansas, and the frosts and diseases incident to moister atmospheres and heavier and lees thoroughly drained soils. The following facts are collated from the official statistics of Minnesota: Rapid as has been the growth of the now Western States, Minnesota has s'trpassed them all in the rapidity of its progress. Its POPULATION in 1850 was 5,330; in 1860, 172,022.— Its AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPEMENT has been even more remarkable. The nnlnbor of acres of plowed land in 1850 was 1,900; in 1854, 15,000; in 1860, 433,267—having increased nearly thirty fold in six years. The number of bushels of wheat produced in 1850 was 1,401; in 1854, 7,000; 1860, 5,001,432 bushels, being nearly thirty bushels to each inhabitant, or four times as much as the whole wheat crop of New England in 1850 The whole amount of grain and pota toes produced in Minnesota in 1850 was 71,709 bushels; in 1860 it was 14,603, 517 bushels—mostly in the small grains. What a progress for ten years! This rapid agricultural growth has been achieved chiefly since the collapse of land speculation in 1857. In 1858 Minnesota imported bread and pro- visions. In 1861 she exported 3,000,- 000 bushels of wheat alone. Minnesota is probably the best wheat State in the Union, with the exception perhaps of California. The statistics of her wheat Drops show an evetage yield in 1860 of twenty-two bushels per acre, and in 1859 of nineteen bash. els—these results being from fifty to three hundred per cent.`greator than of the principal wheat States, with the exceptions noted. In 1859, for exam- ple, the average yield of Iowa was four and one-third bushels per acre; of Ohio, seven and one•third bushels. Illinois, according to high local author- ity, produces from year to year not more than eight bushels per acre, and fifteen bushels is considered an unusu- ally larga average for the beet wheat States. The comparative etemption of Minnesota from the diseases and insects which ravage the wheat crops of other States,.giies jj a,great advan- tage in the cultivation of this most val. sable staple. Minnesota is often erppgsed to be, too far north "for Dorn. Tbie is a gri mistake, founded oa:.the popnler • fid - hey that the latitude go+'erii>lii #ittfittel riT'A little girl hearing it remarked that all people had once been children, artlessly inquired, "Who took care 'of the babies,',' heat of St Paul is precisely tl1at of Philadelphia, five degrees farther sontb and that it is considerably warmer du- ring the whole six months of the growing season than Chicago, three degrees further south. The products of the soil confirm the indication of the Army Meterological Regielor.— The average yield of corn in 1860 was thirty-five and two thirds bushels per acre, and in 1859—a bad year—twenty- six bushels. By comparison, in the latter year, Iows produced but twenty- three and one-half bushels per acre, and Ohio, the Queen of the corn States, but twenty-nine bushels. In Illinois—of which corn is the chief staple—Mr. Lincoln, now President of the United States, in the course of an agricultural address in 1859, stated that "the average crop from year to year does not exceed twenty bushels por acre." These results so favorable to Minne- sota, as a corn growing as well as wheat growing State, will surprise no one who is familiar with the fact es- tablished by Climatologists, that "the cultivated plants yield the greatest products near the northernmost limits at which they will grow." In Southern latitudes, the warm spriug develops the ju ice of the plant too rapidly. They run into the stalk and leaf to the neglect of the seed.— Corn, for example, rises thirty feet high in the West Indies, but it pro- duces only a few grains at the bottom of a spongy cob, too coarse for human food. In the Sonthern States the corn stalk is fifteen feet high,, but the pro- duct is much less than in the Northern States, where the stalk is ten or seven feet high—and so of all plants which can be grown at alt at the North. The cool, late springs of northern climates restrain the undue' luxuriance of the stem or leaf, and throw the chief de- velopment of the plant into the ripen- ing period. With the summer heat of Southern Ohio, Minnesota yields a greater product of a given plant and, of a richer quality, because its cooler springs check the expenditure of the vital juices on the stalk and leaf to lavish them on the fruit. On the other hand, with the same springs as Massa- chusetts, Minnesota produces more abundant harvests, because it has a warmer summer. It thus combines the most favorable conditions of gnan• tity and quality is its products—and the retirark applies equally to all the eerals, the esculent roots, and the wild grasses of the country, which are as rich as the cultivated species in lower Latitudes. Its wheat, barley, potatoes, &c., are in high favor throughout the Mississippi Valley. Its distance from market, which ab- sorbs much of the profit of wheat cul- ture in the cost of transportation, is forcing attention to its peculiar advan- tages for STOCK RAISING and WOOL GROWING. Prominent among these are: 1. The richness and luxuriance of the native grasses. The statistics of the hay crop of 1860 show a total pro- duct of 300,000 tons, with an average of over two tons por acre, beiug sixty per cent. more than the average of Ohio. The grass is mainly cut on the meadows which everywhere chequer the rolling prairies or friuge the count less streams and lakes. 2. The great extent of unoccupied land, affording for many years to come a wide range of free pasturage. 3. The remarka- ble dryness and healthfulness of the winter. The sleet, slush, mnd, and the train of diseases which the damp and variable winters of Eastern or South- ern climates inflict upon animals and men, are here nearly unknown. Sheep prefer to live and sleep in the open air all winter. The cold, dry sir sharpens: the appetite, and promotes a rapid secretion'of fat and a vigorous muscu- lar development. The wool grows finer and heavier, and mutton, beef and pork sweeter and more juicy. The ef- fects ffects of climate and tie rich herbage is seen in the DAIRY PRODUCT'S. In the census year, 1860, over 3,000,000 pounds of butter and cheese were made from 38,939 cows, or 77.6 pounds per head, against 52 pounds per head in Iowa, 46.8 in Illinois, and 62 in Wis- consin. To the dryness of the air, even un- der the abundant rains of summer, the healthfulness of the climate is at- tributed. It ie the sadatarium of con. etimptives, and' is -exempt from the fe- vers and agase'.ineident to the damp, malarious atmoapherea of„ .the lower States of the Mississippi Volley. To this, too, is largely due the exemption of MM,paota summer frail the destruc• tine frosti , which prevail 1'd ni'oiater latitddee.

Its principal manufactures are floor and lumber, for the latter of which the extensive pine forests which cover the north-eastern portion of the State afford inexhaustible supplies of material. The commercial position of Minne- sota is one of the most important on the Continent. The Groat Lakes con- nect it with the Atlantic on the East —the Mississippi with the Gulf of l Mexico on the South—and the Red River and Saskatchewan, interlocking in Lake Winnipeg, carry the chain of navigation through their fertile valleys 1,400 miles to the North-west to the gold bearing slopes of the Rocky Mountains. A considerable emigra- tion is already passing through this channel to the gold fields of British Columbia. Minnesota is the only Slate on the weal bank of the Afinissippi tphich has any great agricultural region tributary to it from the west, the whole country west of the ninety-eighth par- allel, and south of the baskatehewan beng a rainless waste. This level belt of arable areas, with its chain of navigable rivers, is the natural pro- jection across the west half of the Continent of the line of overland transit formed by the St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes across the east half, and suggests itself irresistibly as the natural route for a Pacific Railroad, with its terminus on the splendid har- borage of Puget Sound. This project, which has many warm advocates in England and America, would make Minnesota the center of the inter - oceanic commerce of the Continent. Uongress has granted the State about four and a half million acres of land for the construction of .Railroads. some of which are in process of con- struction. The oompletion of a few hundred miles of Railroad will con- nect the heads of navigation on the three great water lines of the Continent, and place Minnesota virtually as near New York as Pitteburgh.

A dol- lar hero ,and a dollar there, scattered over numerous small towns, all over the country, miles and miles apart—how shall they be gathered together? Tho paper maker and bnilding owner, the journeyman compositor, the grocer, the tailor and all assistants to him in car- rying on his bnsiness, have their de- mands, hardly ever so small as a single dollar. But the mites from here and there mast be dilligently gathered and patiently boarded, or the wherewith to discharge the large liabilities will nev- er become sufficiently bulky. We im- agine the printer will have to getup an address to his widely scattered dollars something like the following: "Dollars, halves, quarters, dimes. and all manner of fractions into which ye are divided, collect yourselves, and come home! Ye are wanted ! Corn, binatione of all sorts, that help the printer to become a proprietor, gather such force, and demand with such good reasons, your appearance at hie count• cry, that nothing short of a sight of you will appease them.

Reader are you sure you haven't a couple of the printer's dullard sticking abont your clothes? - HASTY MARRIAGES.—Tbere is not a town, there is scarcely a village, which does not number among its inhabitants women who have married on very short acquaintance, only to be abused, desert- ed, and left a burden and a life-long sorrow to the families in which they were born and reared, and which they imprudently or improperly deserted to share the fortunes of comparative strangers. If young women would re alize how grossly indelicate, as well as culpably reckless such marriages ap- pear in the eyes of the observing, they surely would forbear. Marriage is an undertaking in which no delay can bo so hazardous as undue precipitation.

Still her throat troubled her, and she became so much alarmed ebe was sure she would die. A friend suggested that she she'd call in Dr. Jones; a young man just commencing to practice. She did not at first like the idea, but finally consented and Dr, Jones was called in. He was a person of good address and polite manners.

THE HASTINGS INDEPENDENT "My COUNTRY RtGItT; BUT RIGHT OIt WRONG, MY COUNTRY." HASTINGS, MINNESOTA, JUNE 19, 1562• C. STEBBINS, Editor. A BOLD DASH. Tho most audacious feat of the ene- my since the war began was performed near Richmond last Friday. A force of the enemy composed of 1,600 cav- alry and six pieces of artillery—accord ing to what seems tho official report from McClellan's headquarters—passed the right wing of our army, complete- ly gaining our rear, where it destroyed two schooners in the Pamuuky river, captured some supply trains, cut the telegraph, tore up the rail wad track, and attacked a train of cars—killed a number, and taking others prisoner's— among them was a Colonel—and then the audacious rascals passed down the rear of our a'mv from right to left, completely circling our 200,000 men, and then made good their return to Richmond. CREDIT OF 'LITE GUVERNMENT,—MII- lions upon millions of Federal Treasu- ry notes are issued as the wants of the Governwont require, and instead of bo ing depressed on the stock market or broker's boards, they are eagerly sought for and command a handsome premium. This prosperous state of affairs exists at a time when there is little, if any foreign investment in our securities; but when the mists of preju• dice have passed from before the oyes of Europe, we shall have its buyers in our markets again, and the competition thus created will stimulate a still fur- ther advance in the price of our Fede- ral securities, There never was a sten dard of value attached to a Govern- ment which showed itself more deci- dedly, unmistakably, and selfereliantly, thau the present premium on Ameri- can stocks and Treasury noted. It is instinct with patriotism, and speaks most eloquently the determination that the Union shall bo preserved for our children, as it was transmitted to us by our fathers. THS ANNUAL FINANCIAL BUDGET.— Senator Fessenden estimates that the annual budget would bo hereafter one hundred and eighty millions of dollars, fifty millions of which v ould be for a permanent military establishment of fifty thousand men. The navy would require twenty five millions a year.— An elaborate paper from a military source was published some time since showing that the expense of keeping up a regiment of infantry of the regu- lar army in the time of peace, was about a half million of dollars a year. Considering the state of things that must for years require a military occu- pation of the South, fifty millions of dollars on an army account is not an over estimate,. But twenty five mil- lions for the future navy is altogether too low a figure. As the navy was before the war the appropriations were fifteen millions. more or loss. Mr. Fessenden's estimate of one hundred and eighty millions a year for govern- ment expenditures is not extravagant. Of this there will he about fifty mil- lions in the shape of interest on the public debt, should it not exceed one thousand million dollars. tS`3'Thurlow `feed, who has just returned from Europe, says the state of public sentiment abroad was far from gratifying. The French Government cherished no friendly sentiments to- wards us, and the people were little Letter. But Prince Napoleon, was our most sincere, earnest friend, and lost no occasion to do ns friendly offi- ces. The British Ministry were divi- ded. Lord Palmerston and Earl Rus- sell were adverse to us; other members of the Cabinet were warmly affected toward the North. The Queen, when. ever she could say a word, always ex- pressed the most decided sympathy with us. Prince Albert had always been the devoted frieud of:this country, and his last public act ha l been to modify a dispatch which the Ministry had prepared to send to Lord Lyons. IRON ARMOR AND VESSELS.—Secre- tary Welles has addressed a letter to the naval commissioners of both Houses, urging the importance of fur- ther legislation to provide places for the manufacture of heavy ordinance and iron plating for the armature of vessels. He urges the construction of navy yards for such purposes in the Mississippi Valley, and dwells on the impertance of the navy and grandeur of the nasion, and the desirability of 'tong it on a focting with other first elites powers, that wo be not caught I upping. as wo were at the outbreak of of the rebellion. He urges action at this ces iuu, STARVATION IN THE SOUTII.—From every part of the South where our arm- ies have obtained a foothold, the cry conies np that the people are suffering for the neceaearies of life. The rebel leaders have plundered their own peo- ple to enable them to keep their arm- ies a few months longer in the field, and Ieft the women and children of the South, the old and helpless, to procure a living as best they ean. A dispatch was received in St. Louis from General Halleck, to the following effect: Hundreds of women and children in this vicinity are in a starving condi- tion. Their husbands and brothers were impressed into the Confederate service, and the rebels then robbed them of everything, even to the last mileh cow. Will not :the benevolent of St Lonie do something for these poor suffering peoplef I will give all possible facilities for distributing any food that may be sent. Money is of no use, for there is no food in the gauntry to be procured. This dispatch was referred to the Un- ion Merchant's Exchange at St. Louie, when money and provisions to the amount of two thousand dollars were at once enthusiastically subscribed, and the next day the hospital steamer Em- press started for Corinth with a large load of flour, meal, harm, bacon, shoul- ders, sides, corn beef, salt, coffee, sugar, hominy, beans, dee., for the suffering Southern people. What a suggestive answer is this noble conduct to the slanders and falsehoods whioh the Southern traitors have published in re- gard to the aims and objects of the Northern people! NEW MILITARY ORDER.—Several ims portant general orders have lately been issued from the War Departmcnt.— One restores tbo volunteer recruiting service, and orders invalid and disabled officers to that duty, and orders to their regiments absent officers fit for duty.— Another authorizes the Governors of States to give them certificates for transportation. Another orders Cap- taine to report the kind and efficiency of arms used by their companies.— Another disohargre medical officers held as 'prisoners, the principle being recognized that medical officers should not beheld as prisonere of war. An• other calls to duty all absent officers able to travel—those fit for active sera vice to their regiments, others to An• napolis or Camp Chase, Ohio—and lays down stringent regulations npon the whole subject of absencee. Anoth- er provides for the disposal of rebel property captured by the Provost Mars shall—the same to be turned over to the chief of the staff, to be used for the publio service, and strictly accounted for. Tho following general order from the Adjutant General's office, newly ar ranging military departments, has also been published: The Department of Mi seissippi is ex- tended so as to include the whole of the States of Tennessee and Kentucky.— All officers on duty in these States will report to Major General Ilalleek . The Mountain Department extends eastward. to the road running from Williams port to Martinsburg, Winchester, Strasburg, llarriecnburg, and Staun- ton, including that place, thence in the same direction southward until it roaches the chain Ridge of Mountains, thence with Blue Ridge to the southern boundary of the State of Virginia --- Tho Department of the Shenandoah is extended eastward to idclude Piedmont District and Bull Mountain range. • IMPORTANT TO SOLDIERS AND THEIR WIDOWS —That the soldier or his widow or heirs, may not be swindled of their just dues by pettifogging at- torneys, wo publish the following sec- tions of the act "to grant pensions," which passed t'ao house of Representa- tives a few days since: SEO. 7.

HOW KENTUCKY WAS SAVED. In an eloquent address on the state of the country, delivered by Rev. Dr Breckinridge, of Kentucky, gave the fol lowing bit of history: "We are in the habit of thinking hard, very hard, of the loyal portion in Tenneseee or South Carolina, that they permitted this insurrection. They were oppressed at home, and compelled to take np arms against the Governmen% Yon will allow me to make a local and personal reference, and to say that if it had not been by mere accident—if it had not been for the blessing of God and the heroism of pome persons—the very mama thing would bavo happened in Kentucky; and I will go further and say, in extenuation of the conduct of many who were really loyal citizens further Sonth—I will say, farther that it was the proximity of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, the fidelity of the people of the latter States upon which these men depended—of your peop'e sad the people of the other States—that caved Kentucky. [Great cheers.] The question was flatly asked by Gen. Boyle, of the army, then a pri- vate citizen of Kentucky, "Will you have 12,000 men ready the moment we ask for theta?" It was flatly asked of the Governor of Ohio, Inuiana and Illinois, and the reply was, they would sustain them, and I euppose 1 may add that Lincoln was telegraphed to, asking whether he would assist them,. and he said, with hie whole power. [Cheers.] Mr. Boyle telegraphed tc Gov. Dennison for 10,000 men at cali. He replied, "You can have them.''— He also asked for 10,000 from Indi- ana and Illinois, and received the ease reply. [Cheers.] And this was the salvation of Kentucky. What could we have done alonel— If we had been hundrede of miles from the free States we could not have sus- tained ourselves against the wave of secession. All available means to car ry on a war successfully were taken by by the disloyal citizens by violence. What could the loyal portion of the people do? Here was a band of con- spirators who called themse'vee a gov- ernment, and here were these men is- solated one from another—and hence the cry that there was unanimity for secession. Here was an incessant wail coming up from one Confederacy to the other—if there was any possibility of the General Government coming to their relief, especially from East Ten- nessee—from the beginning until now . And no free people have ever suffered as they have done, and yet they are not relieved. There is a wide difference be- tween these parties. These loyalists risked everything they had, and they would have gladly taken up their arms in a better cause. On the other hand, you commit a great error in supposing, or coming to a conclusion to suppose, that there are not loyal men there. In the present state of the country, there are no two errors that should be guarded against more carefully. It is an exceedingly intricate question as to what is the most effectual way to protect os from these errors. Belt I shall not enter on this discussion at all." TUE EMANCIPATION LEAGUE,—A new' Society was organized in the Cooper Inatitute, New tYork, on Thursday, June 5th, eallod the Emancipation League. Hon. William C. Bryant is President. Rev. Dr. Tyng, Mr, Ketch- um, Dr. Vincent Coyler, and Colonel McCoy, were among the prominent ao- tore. Dr. Tyng, in addressing the meet- ing, maid: "Emancipation is hat the continu anco of the religion of Jesus Christ, and each emancipation move is but the bringing up of man, because he is a man entirely regardless of hie former position. "The objects of the Society are: "To bring emancipation throughout the whole land. "To support the present war until its successful termination; end, that end, to promote by precept and example, the support of the burdens, personal and pecnniary, it may impose upon ne. "To procure the repeal of all laws authorizing inter -slave trade, and all other laws of Congress which eanction or recognize the existence of slavery, in any State or Territory. "And to insist that all slaves who become practically freed by our advan- cing armies, or by any power of Cons grese or the President, shall never be reetored to bondage, and that no Mate now in open rebellion be rocog nized as a member of the Union except on the condition of emancipation." Tor GOVERNOR STANLY DIFFICULTY. —A Washington correspondent says "The Stanley matter has been arranged. No formal order has been sent to him, but he has been apprised of the views of the Administration, and is expected to permit the echoals of Mr. Colyer to bo re•opened." This means that the abolitioniets have failed to induce the President to recall Gov: Stanley, and that the constitutional men have tri, umpired. In this connection the Washington correspondent of the Bos- ton Journal says: e "Gov. Stanly will respect the laws of North Carolina, and revoke all orders, edict, acts, that in an7 way infringe the laws in that State. Gov. Stanly will obey orders. No man or cabinet will change Mr. Lincoln's plan. Mrs. Line coin one time told the that when, on a matter of right, Mr. Lincoln puts his foot down, there is no such thing as moving him. Mon who do not like Mr. Lincoln's mode of doing things will have to get need to it. There is no power in pulpit, press, or platfrorm to change the plans of Mr. Lincoln. ter A tack manufeettirer is Taun- ton has sent within a few weeks no less than six tons of tack, to Now Otleatls, and bas received an orderleicitvo tone more. GENERAL BANKS' REPORT. General Banks has sent to the War Department his official report of the retreat from Western Virginia. He received information of the advance of the enemy on the evening of the 23d of May, and immediately sent rein- forcements to Colonel Kenly, of the First Maryland regiment, who guarded Front Royal. Later in the evening, however, additional information was received to the effect tbat K nly's force had been overpowered, and that the rebels were advancing on Winchester, wberenpon the reinforcementa were re, called and detachments were sent to explore the roads and ascertain the strength of the hostile forces. The General then gives a report of the com- bats which occured during the retreat, and Bays of the battle of Winoheeter: "The forces engaged were very un- equal. Indisposed to accept the early rumors concerning the enemy's etrengtb, I reported to the department that it was about fifteen thousand. It is row conclusively shown that aot less than twenty-five thousand men were is position and could have been brought into action. On the right and left their great superiority of num- bers was plainly felt and seen, and the signal officers, from elevated positions, were enabled to count the regi- mental standards, indicating a strength equal to that I have stated. My command consisted of two brig edea of less than four thousand men. all told, with nine hundred cavalry, ten Parrott guns and one battery of 6 pounder smooth -bore cannon. To this should be added the Tenth Maine reg- iment of infantry and five companies of Maryland cavalry, stationed at Winchester, which were engaged in tbie action. The loss of the enemy was treble that of ours in killed and wounded. Officers whose word I cannot doubt have stated, as the result of their own observation, that our men were fired upon from private dwellings in pas- sing through Winchester; but I am creadibly informed, and gladly be- lieve, that the atrocities said to have been perpetrated upon onr wounded soldiers by the rebels are greatly ex- aggeraed or entirely untrue. Of onr losses he says: The whole number of killed is thirty. eight; wounded, one hundred and fifty- five; missing, seven hundred and Leven. Total lose, nine hundred and five. It is undoubtedly true that many of the missing will return, and he entire los may be assumed as not xceeding seven hundred. It is also probable that the number of killed and wounded may be larger than that above tated, but the aggregate will not be hanged thereby. All our guns were saved. Our wagon train consisted of nearly five hundred wagons. Of this number fifty five were lost. SOUTHERN CAVALIERS VS. NORTHEN PURITANS. The following article appeared in the Louisville -Bowling Green -Nash- ville Courier during its publication in the last named place. It is worth republication jnst now: "This has been called a fratricidal war by some, by others an irrepressible conflict between freedom and slavery. We respectfully take issue with the authors of both these ideas. We are not the brothers of the Yankeee, and the slavery question is the pretext, not the cause of the war. The irrepressi hle conflict lies fundamentally in the hereditary hostility, the sacred animos- ity, the eternal antagonism between the two races engaged, "The Norman cavalier cannot brook the vulgar familiarity of the Saxon Yankee, while the latter is continually devising some plan to bring down bis aristocratic neighbor to bis own detes- ted level. Thus was the content waged in the old United States. So long as Dickinson doughfaces were to be bought, and Cochrane cowards to be frightened, so long was Union tolerable to Southern men; but when, owing to division in oar ranks, the Yankee hire- lings placed one of their own spawn over us, political connection became unendnrable, and separation necessary to preserve our self respect. '•Ae our Norman kinsmen in Eng- land, always a minority, have ruled their Saxon countryrnon in political vassalage up to the present day, so have we, the 'slave oligarch,' gov- erned the Yankees till within a twelve month. We framed the Constitution, for seventy years moulded the policy of the government, and placed our own men, or 'northern men with southern principles,' in power. "On the 6th of November, 1860, the Puritans emancipated themselves, and are now in violent insurrection against their former owners. This insane hol iday freak will not last long, however, for, dastards in fight, and incapable of self-government, they will inevitably again fall under the control of the su- perior race. A few more Bull Run thrashings will bring them once more under the yoke as docile as the most loyal of our Ethiopian 'chattles.'

A POPULAR ERROR.—Some people have wondered at the high praise given Srdgwick'a Division in the battle of Fair Oaks and particularly at the hon- ors won by our Minnesota Frst, with a loss of only four mon killed and wounded. A corrospondout of the Ilerald throws some Light on the sub- ject. IIe says: "A popular error prevails in regard to the fighting qualities displayed by different regiments in the same action. Many people, perhaps a majority of the readers of newspapers, conclude that regiments which shows the largest list of killed and wounded,has done the hardest fighting. 'I'hie is a popular error. The regiment that is handled with the most skill in approaching the enemy, and which makes the most en- ergetic and overwhelming charge upon them, suffers much less than one which is awkwardly posted, which neglects to throw out skirmishers and is brongh in front of the fire at a disadvantage In a recent battle a certain regiment whose Colonel sat behind a woodpile holding his horse during the action sustained a heavy loss at the first vol- ley of the enemy and but little execu- tion was done by that regiment. The regiments who charged upon the ene- my and saved the fortunes of the day and secured the victory, show a much smaller loss than the regiment alluded to. Those who judge of battalions by the results in killed and wounded,would doubtless conclude, in this and in sim- ilar instances, that the meet inefficient and waver ng were the bravest. SAVAGE ENGINE.—The federal rams in the naval battle at Memphis, were provided with companies of sharp- shooters, who picked off the rebel gun- ners, and thus kept their guns silent while the ram was running into the vessel. The rebel boats were also pro- vided with sharpshooters, but they, like the rebel gunners, did not succeed in hitting anybody. When the ram Queen of the Wrest was running into one of the rebel gunboats, a company of riflemen suddenly appeared on the bow deck of the latter. The ram in- stantly opened her hot water battery throwing a stream two inches in diam- eter of boiling water in their faces.— Not a gun was fired by the rebels, who disappeared with all possible speed many of them doubtless fatally scalded • WONDERFUL MARKSMEN.—One of the remarkable features of the brilliant naval battle at Memphis is the fact that not one of our gunboats received any injury, although engaged with the rebel gunboats a distance of less than half a mile. And it is an actual fact that the rebels fired at our gunboats at a dis- tance of scarcely forty rods, and failed to hit them! We had heard of the rifleman who at that distance could not hit a barn door, but hitherto would have been willing to wage a reasona- ble sum that even the moat indifferent gunner could not fail to bit a steam- boat at that distance.

Looking back over the last five years we can see an alms st unbroken prairie dotted with the neat cottages of the farmer, and the work still goes on at a ratio that will leave but little virgin soil in this vicinity at the end of the next five years.

There was no time to visit places of interest, and I felt too misanthropic and gloomy for social intercourse, although other gentleman were waiting like myself. More than once I had nearly determined to go home in the return train, but I was aehamed to do that after Mary's gen- erous self-sacrifice. We were half way to Stonington before I began to rouse up and look about me. I was awakened by the cries of a child, and I saw that the seat in front of me was occupied by a young woman, plainly but decently dressed, with au expres- $70 op sion of anxiety on her face that in.. 40,00 stantly attracted me. She had a'baby in 40,00 her arms, and another just big enough 25,00 to walk, on the seat by her. He was 10 1 o a bright lit,le fellow, with great flash - 7,00 ing black eyes, and thick coils of . 7.00 chestnut curls clustering all over bis head; but he did not seem to be well, and fretted continually for the soothing attention that he saw bestowed upon the more helpless babe in his mother's arms.

Tait A 1 BANK, see the man who would not have sues climbed and hauled down his flag be- fore such a complication of miseries. The ycung mother bore up bravely. While bushing the baby and lulling it with a sweet, low lullaby to tempo- rary quiet, she contrived also to coax the little boy's curly head to a pillow on her knee, and thus doubly burden- ed, found means to divert his attention with a cheap. picturesbook. But the weather outside grew dark and unpleasant. 'Thick clouds were slowly gathering their forces, and, the `wail of the wind way often heard above the noise of the engine. The anxious expression of the mother's face d. ep• ened as she watched the ominous signs that foretold a stormy night upon the Sound. "There was a quick, tremulous motion of her lip at times, as if she were repressing the inclination to have a "hearty cry" over troubles. 1 had jest thought of what should have oceureil to No a long time before, that it was possible for me to relieve ber of a part of her burden, and was trying to drive myself out of my sel- fish isolation by calling up all the good Samaritan thoughts that I had over used in my sermons on practical be- nevolence, when an accession of pas- sengers at a way station obliged me to resign my seat to a lady, who actu- ally thanked me fur the civility. Left again to myself, leaning against the door of the car, I resumed the thread of gloom? contemplation that had of late become habitual, and was soon lost in the weary labyrinth of conjectures in regard to the state of my parish, its spiritual deadness, and the measures to be used to awaken any interest in religions things. I grew more and more sad and despond- ing as I meditated, and my cogitations were as fruitless as ever. 1 did not again think of the babies and their mother till we were about leaving the cars at Stunington. Happening then to glance down the car before getting out, I saw her looking about her in evident perplexity. The heavy rain was already pouring down, and the darkness outside was not very attrac- tive even to unencumbered travelers. I am ashamed to own that I did not offer my assistance. Mary says she will never believe it—that it is impos- sible fcr human nature to he so bear, ish, but the humiliating truth must be told. My own wretchedness and sense of utter uselessness in my profession made me almost indifferent at the time to the claims of humanity. Still 1 was sensible of a feeling of surprise, which gradually became indignation, as I saw one lady after another uncon- cernedly pass by, and other gentlemen as heartless as myself, ignoring her si- lent appeal to our sympathy.

She had failed in her efforts to arrange babies and bundles for transportation to the boat. The new comer was a stout - looking, elderly man, plain and al- most shabbily dressed, with a great shock of red Bair nearly lifting his hat off his head, and a round fat face, deeply marked with small -pox. He was whistling a lively air, which seemed to breath a whimsical sort of defiance to the discomforts of the bleak night, but he stopped at once when he saw the helpless group before him. "Going aboard, ma'am?" "Yes, sir, as soon as I can." "Good; so am I—let me carry this youngster for you. I've got one at home just its size. Jeboshaphat! how nat'ral it seems!" said the man as he lifted the boy to his shoulder. The child stopped crying and laughed glee. fully. "And these ) undlea; are they yours, ma'am?" "Yes, air. Thank you, Lean carry those very well. I can indeed." "Tbat depends." He had already gathered them in his are, and wrapped ber thin shawl more closely around the baby. "Now we're ready. Keep close behind me, ma'am. It is but a few steps." As they passed me in the door, 1 seemed to awake from a horrid dream. My anxiety and morbid melancholy vanished. I suppose they could not stay in the atmosphere of that man's blunt, cordial kindness. I envied him the luxury of doing what I ought to have done. After all, I said to my- self, there is real good in the world— real Christian charity, living piety, and active benevolence. I followed close at the man's heels. We were jostled a little as we pressed through the throng, but were safely on board, just in time to avoid being left behind. "Here we aro. A nice ride you've had, my little man." 'There was something absolutely inspiring in that rough man's voice. "Now, ma'am I'll just take you bag and baggage, down to the ladies' cabin, for it rains as if it meant to free its mind. You had better get those damp wrappings off as soon as ycu can. Come, it is but a step further." She hesitated. "No, sir. Thank you. You have been very kind, but my ticket is only for a deck passage, and I have no money. I—I should not have attempted such a journey, sir, without more means, but I have just heard from my husband, who is returning from California and is sick in New York. He did not send for me, but I could not leave him to be nursed by strangers." "Of course you couldn't. But you must not stay here. You'll all catch your death if you do. Wait till I see the captain. I'll fix matters for you, never fear." He trudged off to the captain's of- fice, I still following. The captain glanced at the rough man and bis rough attire carelessly, and listened without much interest to his story, till he begged that the poor woman might be allowed to take her babies into the cabin. Then he assumed a very know- ing look indeed. "Is the lady a very particular friend of yours?" he asked. "We are im- portuned every trip for especial accom- modation for delicate ladies with gen- tlemen friends on board, all as poor as Job's turkeys. We serve them all alike, and each person gets what he pays for." "Look here, sir, there's no call to in- sult anybody . You've had a fair chance to act like a gentleman and a Christian, but I never quarrel with a man if he prefers acting like a heath- en. How much do you charge for a cabin passage?" "OAe dollar." "There's the money. I've got just seventy cents left. It will buy there a little supper, and I can go without mine." tOThe captain looked a little ashamed. He handed back half a dollar. "I've no doubt it's allcheat and humbug," he said, "but if you aro not telling the truth, you lie so naturally that it is worth fifty cents to hear you." I never saw a more grateful creature than that poor young woman when sho found that her friend had secured a shelter for her. She cried with pleas• ure, and kissed his great, freckled hands in a transport of thankfullness. He helped her to a comfortable seat, waited till a tray of refreshments was brought to her, ,:,en giving. the stew- ardess a trifle to secure all necessary attention, he left her to enjoy the com• forte he had provided. His berth in the cabin was just above mine, and though ho kept me awake half the night whistling softly to himself or humming tunes whenever bo was not snoring, I forgave him with all my heart. I wrote to Mary in the morn- ing that I had found a curiosity—a man with a soul as big as a cathedral. —Ladie's Repository. A VETERAN PLEASANTRY.—There was a physician in the neighborhood of Franklin, where Dr. Emmons preached for twonty•one years, who had some peculiar notions upon relig- ious and other matters. The physician being called to a sick family, met the minister at the house of affiction. It was no place for dispute. It was no place for unbecoming familiarity with the minister. It was no place for the physician to enquire the age of the ministers, especially with any intent of entangling him in debate, and above all, where the gnerist was too visionary for any logical dicussion. But the ab. rapt question was— "Mr. Emmons, how old are yon? "Sixty, sir; and how old are you?" came the quick reply. "As old as the creation sir,". was the triumphant response. "Then you are of the same era with with Adam and Eve?" "Certainly; I was in the garden the same time they were." "I have always heard that there was a third person mn the garden with them, but I never knew before that it was YOU." The physcian did not follow up the discussion. 11Vr An Irish stationer, after adver- tising a variety of articles, styes the following *eta bps: "V) re ,uI tomer't sell wafers, ratis" BRICKS FROM THE LOUISVILLE JOURNAL. The Richmond Inquirer thinks that it would be no great loss to lose Ten- nessee, inasmuch as the then Southern Confederacy "would be delivered from all territory with the taint of disloyalty, and stand with its population as a unit." A queer notion the Richmond organ must have of unity. Let him look at his own State! Isn't one half of it, under the authority of its Congress and the Constitution and laws of the United States, setting the Southern Confederacy at defiance, and hasn't that half an exceedingly handsome prospect of being joined by the other half? To be sure there may be unity in the Old Dominion pretty soon, but, if so, it will be a loyal and not a rebel unity. The beggarly Southern Confederacy assumes to speak with a voice of aur thority to the whole world. It has its parallel only in the Khan of Tartary, who, when he has finished his noon -day repdst of dog's flesh and mare's milk, bids his herald proclaim his seat that all the potentates of the earth have his gracious permission to go to din- ner. Some young rebels in this city talk of joining the Southern Confederacy.— They can't join it. The thing is vir- tually broken, and all the joiners in the world could'nt join it. There aro said to be exhilirating signs of spring in New Hampshire.— The tops of tho houses are distinctly visible above the snow -drifts. The Savannah Georgian boasts that the Southern Confederacy is stil afloat. Bubbles float till they burst. Beauregard wants to make cannon out of bells. We tried to make a big gun of John Bell and couldn't. But he wasn't true metal. Forney's Press says that "the South- ern Confederacy is changing its note." It has a good many notes that it can't get changed. A Missouri paper says that the reb- els "get ahead of the Devil himself in their atrocities." We have no doubt that they are always ahead of him, certainly he le after them. We think that Congress will be carrying the principle of taxation a little too far if, as is proposed, it lays a tax upon corpses for the privilege of being buried. Some persons undertake to find a soft phrase for their disloyalty by pal- ling it 'sympathy with the South." -- He who sympathises with rebellion and treason is a rebel and a traitor. Whipping may not be necessary to teach leading, wiiting, and arithmetic to boys, bat it is very necessary in teaching loyalty to full -brown rebels. At the approach of the Federal ar- mies, the hottest rebel papers got as cool as if conducted by so many Cool- ies. The Rebel Confederacy sprung in the Fall, and is likely to fall in the Spring. Albert Pike led thousands of Ine diads into battle and then pretended to be shocked at their scalping their vic- tims. He might as well turn wolves loose in a sheep pasture, and then affect astonishment at their eating mut• ton. CONSULTED A LAWYER.—Col. Tom Stackpole was appointed Captain Gen- eral of the White House grounds by ex -President Pierce, which position he ,till holds. He was recently met by Major Ben. F. French, the Superinten- dent of Public Buildings, who cautious- ly informed him that certain politicians were after his situation, and were about to report him a secessionist, and advis- ed the Colonel to be upon the lookout. A few days after, these worthy sons of Now Hampshire again met, when Ben. inquired of the Colonel whether he had thought of the matter. "Yes," replied Tom, '•I've thought of it and concluded not to trouble my- self about it at all." "Why don'tyon?" asked the Major, they'll have you out." "Oh," said Tom, I've consulted a lawyer, and he tolls me not to have any fears about it; they can't start me." "Consulted a lawyer?" returned Ben; "Well who was it that gave you such advice as that?" "Well." said Tom, "it's one of the smartest lawyers in the city. Ho came from Illinois, and his name is—Lin- coln. He says I needn't be afraid— they can't hurt me." Mr. French now thinks that the Col- onel will not be removed.

In the March number of the Atlantic Monthly the "Country Parson" has a charming little essay on "The Sorrows of Childhood," in the Donne of which he makes these remarks: An extremely wicked way of pun- ishing children is by shutting them up in a dark place. Darkness is naturally fearful to human beings, and the stupid ghost stories of many nurses makes it especially fearful to a child. It is a stupid and wieked thing to send a child on an errand in a dark night. I do not remember passing through a greater WO in my youth than Onawalking three miles alone (it was not going on an errand) in the dark, along a road thickly shaded with trees. I was a little fellow; but I got over the distance in half an hour. Part of the way was along the wall of a churchyard—one of those ghastly, weedy, neglected, accur• sed looking spots where stupidity has done what it can to add circumstances of disgust and horror to the Christian's long sleep. Nobody ever supposed that this walk was a trial to a boy of twelve yeas old, so little are the thoughts of children understood. And children are reticent. I am telling now about that dismal walk for the very first time. And in the illness of child- hood children sometimes get very close and real views of death. I remember when I was nine years old, how every evening, when I lay down to sleep, I used for about a year to picture my- self lying dead, til1I felt as though the coffin was closing around me. I used to read at that period, with a curious feeling of fascination Blair's poem, "The Grave." But I never dreamed of telling anybody about these thoughts. I believe that thoughtful children keep most of their thoughts to themselves, and in respeet of thiugs of which they think most aro as profoundly alone as theAncientMariner in the pacific. I have heard of, a parent, an important mem- ber of a very strait sect of the Pharisees whose child, when dying, begged to be buried not in a certain foul old hide. ous church yard, but in a certain cheer- ful cemetery. This request the poor little creature made with all the energy of terror and despair. But the strait Pharisee refused the dyingrequest, and pointed out with polemical bitterness to the child that he must be very wick- ed indeed to care at such a time where ho was to be buried, or what might be done with Lis body alter death. How I should enjoy the spectacle of that unnatural, heartless, stupid wretch tar- red and feathered ! The dying child was caring for a thing about which Shakespeare cared; and it was not in were human meaknesa, but "by faith," that "Joseph, when ho was a -dying gave commandment concerning his bones." t Mons. Wey, a French writer of distinction, who passed some weeks in London, has recently published in Paris hie impressions under the title of "The English at Home." On one occasion, while riding in an omnibus, he formed an acquaintance with a fellow passen- ger, from whom he derived many ex- planations of the strange things he saw. One of these we give: "I addressed a few words to him concerning a carriage which drove by. It was too fine to be elegant, and was drawn by two magni&cent horsey. On the box. adorned with beautiful fringe, sat a black coated coachman; there was not a wrinkle in bis white cravat --his snowy gloves wore spotless. In the vehicle, on downy cushions, care lessly lounged a man without a coat, his arms bare, his sleeves turned up to his shoulders; his apron, with the cor- ner turned up, served him as a girdle - so that the coachman looked like a gentleman driving a mechanic in his working dress. Mons. W. asked his neighbor who and what was the strange looking occnpant of the dashing car- riage. "The richest butcher in Lon- don,' was the reply; 'he is riding in his carriage from the slaughter house to bis residence. ' His forefathers were in the same business; bis father left him a fortune of more than two mil- lions, and he out of modesty followed his profession—a very honorable cus- tom. This gentleman butcher foases- four million.' " As YOUR EMI:MIL—If you want to know your faults, ask your enemies and yon will be told. If there is a broken place in your coat of mail, they will discover it and thrust in a spear there. They will pierce you between the joints of your harness. Perhaps some people think that one mast needs be very wicked to have enemies. No, no; there is not a good man or woman on earth (unless they are happily good —persons of no force of character) who has not at least one enemy. It is no credit to a man to have it truly said of him, "He has not an enemy in the world." Such a sentence would de very well to engrave upon the tomb- stone of an infant sr en idiot, but it is far from being complimentary to a man.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, writing from Newbern, North Carolina gives the following amusing specimen of negro talk about the war: We were passing along the wharves, a few days ago, wondering at the amount of business that was there transacted. While standing observing a cargo of horses being transferred from a vessel to the shore, an "old contra- band" appeared at our elbow, touching his old fur bat. and scraping an enor- mous foot. He opened his battery up- on us with the following: "Well, boss, how is yer?" "Pretty well, daddy, how are you!" "I'se fuss rate, I is. B'long to Old Burnemside's boys, does yer 1" "Yes, I belong to that party. Great boys, ain't they?" "Well, I thought yer belonged to dat party. Great man, he is, dat's sartain. Yes, sir." "We waited and waited; we heard per was comin, we mos guv yer up.— 'Deed we jess did; but one morning we heard the big guns, way down ribber, go bang, bang, bang, and the folks round yer began to cut dar stick mitey short, and trabbel up de rail track.— Den, bress de good Lord. we knowed yer was corrin• but we held our jaw.— Byme by de sojers begun to cut dar stick, too, and dey did trabbel !

WALKING ADVERTISEMENT. — You have probably learned the legend of the fashion in which the blacking of a cer- tain eminnent man rose into universal fame. The eminent man hired four footmen, of brazen countenances and loud and fluent power of expression.— He arrayed them in georgeons liveries; that of each being quite different:from the other three. 'Then each alone from morning till night they paraded Lon- don, and this is what they did. When either footman saw a shop in which blacking appeared likely to bo sold, he rushed into it with great appearance of excitement, and exclaimed in a hurried manner, "Give me some of Snook's blacking instantly." "Snook's black- ing?" said the shopman, "we never heard of it." "Not heard of Snt'p blacking!" exclaimed the footman— "why my master won't let me brush his boots with any other, and just now he is roaring at me for brushing them with that of Stiggins. I must off else where and get Snook's blacking forth- with." This interview naturally start- led the man in the shop; be began to think, "I mast get some of Snook's blacking." And when in the course of the day the other three footmen sev- erally visited the shop as the first had done; one exclaiming, "the chancellor won't use anything but Snook's black- ing," another, "his Grace won't use anything but Snook's blacking," and the:last in crimson livery, "bis majes- ty won't use anything but Snook's blacking."—the man in the shop took his resolution. IIe found out the fac- tory of Snook's and ordered a large quantity of his blacking.—Rev. A. H. Boyd. A MERITED REBLIaE.—A resident of Nashville, recently on a visit to New York, tells an amusing anecdote of how a violent secessionist at the Tennessee capital got a merited rebuke from Gen- eral Dumont. A famous physician's household deported themselves so rude. ly to our soldiers, once or twice actual- ly spitting in their faces, that the Gen. eral ordered the house to be put under guard, with order to let no one pass in or out. The Doctor, who was in the country of the time, was greatly intens sed on finding his access to hie own home debarred by a guard of soldiery on hie return, and forthwith went to head quarters boiling with rage. On stating the facts, the General calmly replied that he was not aware of giving any order to pat the complainant's house under guard. Insisting that the fact was so, he pointed to his residence, which was in eight and near at hand, where the guard could be plainly seen, as evidence. "Is that your residence?" inquired the general blandly. "To be nue it is." "Why I took it for gran. ted, from the conduct of its tenial oc- cupants, that it was an abode of shames leve courtesans, and I ordered a guard to be placed around it to prevent the visitations of soldiery." SW Why is'a madman like two meat He'sone beside himself. ANnwww A SHREWD TRICK. A correspondent of the New York Evening Post, writing from Banks' sr - my, says: One of the battery men got a fine horse last week in a way that does cred- it to his shrewdness and inginnity. He was out with a party getting horses for the government, by authority, and giv- ing receipts, when seeing a fine brick house some distance off, he said to the captain, "I'll get you a horse." Run- ning round the woods as if chased, he rushed up to the honse, breathless, ex- claiming, "The Yankees are after me I The Yankees are after me ! For God's sake give me a horse ." He had an in- dia rubber suit on which concealed his uniform, and the rebel scouts had bNin in that direction, so his story seemed probable. Tho owner of the establish- ment, who was a stout secessionist, showed great sympathy, and said he guessed he could fix him out. Togeth- er they ran to the stable, and found a good looking stallion, but one of his feet was a little sore. "That won't do," said the battery man. "The Yankees have got faster horses than that, and they'll catch me sure." "Never mind, I have got a better one than that," re- plied the secessionist, and went to s, small out building, from which he led' a magnificent bay horse. Hurriedly he put on a saddle and bridle, bade the battery plan take the horse and be off, and God bless him. Quickly the horse and plan were out of sight, and mak. ing a detour through the woods, join- ed the battery party. The horse is one of the best in the department, and as was a free gift from the secessionist, can hardly be considered as belonging to government. WHO MURDERS INNOOENTB?—Mr . Slashaway who writes for the Ocean Magazine, says the teachers murder them. Mrs. Prime, who picks the mote out of other people's eyes, says the same. Mr. Tradewell who comes home at night with the headache, and dons not like to be troubled with the children's lessons, iterates the grave charge. And all lazy boys and girls offer themselves as the living witnesses that they expect to die of hard study. We protest: Who sends the child. ren to bel with stomach over loaded with indigestible food? Not the teach- er. Who allows Susan Jane to go ont in wet weather with cloth shoes and pasteboard soles? Not the teacher. -- Who allows John and Mary, before they have reached their "teens" to go to the "ball" (or party) and dance un- til the cock crows? Not the teacher. Who compels the children, several in number perhaps, to sleep in a little, close, unventillated bed room? Not the teacher. Who builds the school -house "tight as a dram" without any possi- bility of ventillation? Not the teach- er. Who freta and scolds if "my child" does not get along as fast as some oth- er child does? Not the teacher. Who inquires, not how thoroughly "my child" is progressing, but how fast?— Not the teacher. Who •murders the innocents?

The Toronto Globe administers a dignified rebuke to the London Times for its persistent and unfare advocacy of the rebellious slaveholders against the "freedom loving North." It ar- gues that the course of the Times gives the British people "exceedingly incor- rect views of the state of things in America, and causes prejudices to arise which years will not remove." It also adds this summary of the most notable predictions of its London cotempora- ry, and how they have turned out: "Every month it bas had a new viewhe of the impending rain of t Northern States, and the triumphant success of the South. First, the Northerners would not fight, and the South had all the pluck and chivalry. Tile foreign news is of interest. The Next the Northerners could not stand retcis in Europe were raising quite a' the strain in their finances; they must breeze in their favor by propagating reports of meditation by England and Prance; but Earl Russell very summa- rily gives meditation reports their qui- etus.

The New York Herald expresses the collapse and submit to an ignominious peace with the South. Then the blockade was declared to be ineffectual, and the Americans were warned that it could not be permitted to last long. - Again, a cry was raised that it was all very well to fight on the seaboard, but that theNorth would be speedily crushed when it penetrated into the heart of the country. And, lastly, Generals June and July were invoked to bar the prrgress of the North. Not one of these and other predictions has proved to be correct. The Northerners fight better, man for pian, than the chivalry, sentiments of the whole country in say there has been no lack of money at ing that the admirable management of our financial affairs by the Secretary of the Treasury, and the unexpected and unexampled success of all his recon,- armies have penetrated into the interi• 'tVashiugton for wet like purposes; the blockade is effectual, so much so that the South can obtain no rams or am- munition from abroad; the Northern nlendations in connection with the pub. tic finances, have in: mired universal confidence in his ability, and induced a willingness to comply with his every request in connection with the Treasu- ry Department, in which he has al - ' or of the South with almost entire im• punity, as witness the progress of Gen. Mitchell, far from water communica- tions and support; and Generals June and July, if they aro even as powerful as reported, will come to late to be of any service to the South.

BRISKNESS OF 1MMIGRATION.-Inami, gration to New York from Europe is quite brisk at present. Within the last wet over three thousand immi- greuts have been registered, stud the total Lumber for the year, so far, is, in round numbers, twenty.five thousand. Up to the same time last year, the fig- ures were about a third higher than this year; hut, curiously enough, last year the immigration opened brisk in the early spring, when Europe dill not believe there was going to be war here, -and fizzled out in summer when a great War was inevitable; while this year im migration opened very dull in the spring, when our military prospects looked comparatively dull, but since the news of our victories and of the prospective termination of the war has bad time to react and influence Europe, it is going on quite briskly. When the war is over, it is belies ed we will see such a rush from Europe, and par- ticularly from Germany, as was never seen before. SENATE CUMBER, June 5. 1862. MY DEAR SIR: -You criticism of the President is hasty. I am confident that, if you knew him as I do, you would not make it. Of course the President cannot be held responsible for the misfeasances of subordinates, unless adopted or tolera- ted by him. And I am sure that noth- ing unjust or ungenerous will be tole- rated, much less adopted by him. I am happy to let you know that he has no sympathy with Stanly in his absurd wickedness, closing the schools, nor again in his other act of turning our camps into a bunting ground for slaves. He repudiates both -positively. The latter point has oc- cupied much of his thought, and the newspapers have not gone too far in recording his repeated declarations, which I have often heard from bis own lips, that slaves finding their way with- in the national lines are never to be re. enslaved. This is his conviction, ex- pree_ed without reserve. Could you have seen the President -as it was my privilege often -while he was considering the great questions on which he has already acted -the in- vitation to emancipation in the States, emancipation in the District of Colum- bia, and the acknowledgement of the independence of Hayti and Liberia, even your zeal would have been satis- fied, for you would have felt the shn- cerity of his purpose to do what he could to carry forward the principles of the Declaration of Independence.- I-Iis soul was occupied, especially by the first proposition, which was pe- culiarly his ow n. In familiar inter- course with hirn, I remember nothing more touching than the earnestness and coulpletness with which be em- braced this idea. To his mind it was just and beneficent, while it promised the sur© end of slavery. Of course, to me, who had already proposed a Bridge of Gold for the retreating fiend, it was most welcome. Preceeding from the President, it must take its place among the groat events of history. if you are disposed to bo impatient at any seeming shortcomings, think, I pray you, of what has been done in a brief period, and from the past dis- cern the sure promise of the futuro.- Knowino something of my convictions and of the ardor with which I main - "While I entertain as clear and strong convictions as so feeble an in- tellect as mine can entertain upon this subject, I am far from arraigning the integrity or the wisdom of those who differ from me; but entertaining these sentiments, and believing that the great danger is that by the emergen- cies of the hour which are pressing up- on us for the purpose of seizing some temporary good, we may be led to vi- olate the clear provisions of the Con- stitution, I have thought it my duty, eyeu :a. this tat- hour of tbo day, to enter my protest against the imposi- tion of tha tax. '•Again, sir, 1 know something of the frailty of human nstnre, and I know something how impressions which we have gathered in our expe- rience in the pact, bias our judgement and lead us astray. I fear soinotimos that the hard experience which the an- ti -slavery men of this country have had to endure in the years that have passed has had, unfortunately, the ten- dency to indurate their affections, make callous their hearts, and give vigor to their resentments whenever the institue tion of slavery in any of its connec- tions is brought up. I fear, sir, that that may be the effect of the experience which twenty years of persecution has had upon some of us; but I trust Sen, ators in this place, on this occasion, in this hour, when, as a band of brothers, we should unite together and stand shoulder to shoulder fighting the bat- tles of the country and the Constitu- tion, we shall, in the emphatic language that was addressed to the Hebrew prophet when he was leading his peo- ple out from the land of bondage to found a now republic in a chosen land, I trust that, standing where we shall put the shoes of prejudice from off our feet, remembering that the place where the providence of God has put us to- day to act is holy ground, from which all passions, all resentments, all in, fluences, save those which patriotism and the Constitution address to the un- derstanding, should be excluded from our consideration." GEN. Twtoos.-The Atlanta, (ria.) Intclligencer, of the 27th ult., says: "Age and bodily af{l etions have de- prived the South, in its struggle for in- dependence, of the military skill and soldier -like qualities of Gen. Twiggs. While we deplore this loss to our cause, we nm -t bow in submiseion to the decree of Providence. Long, how- ever, may he live to cheer us by his presence and counsels." The Rochester Union piously trusts that Gen. Twiggs will live long enough to be caught by the Federal authorities and bung. The third officer in the army when the rebellion broke out, he surrendered to the rebels prop, erty to the value of millions of dollars in his department, and betrayed into their hands the officers and men of his command. On the score of treachery ho is far more deserving of the halter than even Jeff. Davis or John B. Floyd. LOUIS NAPOLEON AND TIIE WAR IN AMERICA. -A private letter written from Paris, by a person attached to the Min- istry of Foreign Affairs, says that Louis Napoleon's opinion is that the prosecu, tion of any war on so gigantic and ex- pensive a scale as the American war .must necessarily be of short duration, and stop one day or other, crushed un- der its own weight. Louis Napoleon's ilea is that any intervention on the Bart of a European power would, in the present circuistanee, delay rather than hasten the suspension of hostili- ties, and hence that Europe ought, for the sake of peace, to forbear to inter- pose at present in the American conflict Parisians acquainted with our politics look upon the formation of a peace party in the North as one of the event- ualities of the summer campaign, and trust that for the next fall election that party will have strong supporters among the newly elected candidates to Con, gress. Tho general feeling in Europe is that the coming summer will not prove favorable to the Northern arms, and that the climatic influences inherent to that season will try our power of en• durance more than a dozen battles.-- The attles:-The letter concludes by stating that nothing will be done by European cab- inets in reftrenco to American affairs befoto summer is over, and the next fail elections known. tO' The latest returns from the election districts in Illinois foot up a majority against the new Constitution oc about ten thousand. ARMY AND NAVY MATTERS. -The War Department has advices that large additions have been made to the rebel armies by the conscription forcing into the ranks every white man and mulatto between twenty and sixty years of age, The army in Virginia has in this way been reinforced by 60,000 men; but they aro not effective soldiers, but will doubtless become good soldiers in a few months, should the war continue so long. It is on this account that it has been determined to open a camp of instruction at Annapolis under Gen. Wool, for 50,000 soldiers, to be in- creased to 100,000 as soon as the camp is placed in operation. If volunteers enough do not offer, a draft will doubt- less be called. or. It is understood that these troops aro not to be used until the fall campaign opens, and should the war be closed before that time, the camp will see but little hard and dan- gerous service, and will pass a pleasant summer at Annapolis. UA. MERCIER AND JEFF. DAVIS.-A French paper states that, at the time of his visit to Richmond, Mr. Mercier had an interview with Jeff. Davis, and that, in the course of conversation, he asked Jeff. Davis if there was not inhis mind any ground upon which the South could make proposals of peace to the North. "No, sir," said Jeff. Davis, "the Confederate States are not so high nor so low as to entertain any thought of that kind. The time for peace will doubtless come; but it has not yet, and we must wait awhile before we can avail ourselves of your good offices." :if At the battle of Fair Oaks a rebel soldier was wounded and taken to the federal hospital tent. His arm was amputated by the surgeon in at- tendance, who rendered him every at- tention in his power, when suddenly the rebel drew forth a concealed knife and tried to stab his attendant. The surgeon paraied his blow with his arm, and with his other hand drew a pistol from his belt, and killed the ingrate as he lay on the operating board. GUERILLAS IN KENTUCKY. The guerilla mode of warfaro which is so much in favor in the insurrec- tionary States, is carried on to an al- arming extent in some parts of Ken- tucky, and is characterized by the worst forms of atrocity. As has been predicted, villains of every kind hasten to avail themselves of the li- cense thus given, to indulge their base passions. The Louisville Democrat, of last Wednesday, has the follow- ing: "All along the border we hear con- tinuously of guerilla raids --here that a man has been carried off from his home, there that property has been de- stroyed, or, again, that the fiendish monsters have stripped and hung a lad. No village or farm along the bor der counties, for many miles, sinks into repose at night with any certainty that it will not be ashes in the morning, with fiery flames, like a horrid ghoul, licking up the blood and bones of in- nocent inmates. The more peaceful, the more innocent, the less prepared for, and therefore the lees protected, the more certain the marauder will come.' No wonder that, in answer to an in- terrogatory from Governor Johnson, as to the treatment these men should re- ceive, Secretary Stanton telegraphed, - "swing them." Unless the government acts with vigor in suppressing this now form of outrage, there is danger the people of the border States will take the law into their own hands. TIIE RECIPROCITY TREATY. -.It app pears from an official report of the Secretary of the Treasury, showing the quantity and value of the different ar- ticles of merehandize imported into the United States from British North American Provinces under the Recipro- city Treaty, that the total value in 1859 wt.s over 815,000,000; in 1860, more than 812,000,000, and in 1861, 821,000,000. The table shows in the last year a falling off in fish, furs, fruits, hides and wools, and an increase in animals, ashes, bark, butter, cheese, coal, eggs, flax, flour, grain, meats, oats timber, &c. Animals of all kinds, 81,740,000; fish of all kinds, $1,362,- 000; grain, $6,500,000; timber of all kinds, $289,000. The respective amounts of other imports are not ensa meratod.

FREEDOM IN ALL THE TERRITORIEs.- Slavery is sectional, and Freedom is national, for now the Senate have pas- sed the House bill, the Arnold -Love- joy measure, carrying and perpetuating liberty in all the Territories cf the United States. They are now open to Free Labor. and their fair acres will never be polluted by the tread of the negro driver. Not only our own peo ple, but the toiling millions of the old world are interested in this rich legacy. tar Paymaster Wise, of Foote's gunboat flotilla, publiehes a card in the papers, in which he says: "I have paid the whole expense of the flotilla from the first, and including the cost of the gunboats, their equip- tain them, you may, perhaps, derive some assurance from my confidence. I say to you, therefore, stand by the ad- ministration. If need be, help it by word and act, but stand by it and have faith in it. I wish that you really knew the Presi;lent, and heard the artless ex, pression of his convictions on those questions which concern you so deep- ly. You might, perhaps, wish that lie were less cautious, but you would be grateful that ho is so true to all that you have at heart. Believe me, there, fore', you aro wrong, and I regret it the more because of my desire to see all our friends stand firm together. If I write strongly, it is because I feel strongly, for my constant and in- timate ir.tercousa with the President, beginning with the 4th of March, not only binds me peculiarly to his Ad• ministration, but gives me a personal as well as a political interest in seeing that justice is dolls him. Believe me, my dear sir, with much regard, ever faithfully yours, CHARLES SUMNER. • tar An idea of the financial strength of the Government may be gathered from a statement made by Erastus Corning to Secretary Chase, to the ef- fect that the United States could com- mand at once $100,000,000 on twenty- five year bonds, drawing six per cent. interest; but the Secretary prefers his proposition for the issue of $150,000,- 000 Treasury notes. It is somewhat doubtful whether the House will re- spond favorably to Mr. Chase's propo- sition to issue $25,000,000 in small bills. The propri^ty of the measure is much discussed, ./far' The Cincinnati Commercial's New Orleans correspondent gives the following item, showing how the re- bellion is operating on the Louisian. ians: "Whatever idea of the distress ex- isting among the people may be ens tertained at the North, it can scarcely bo exaggerated. Beginning with the princely merchant and wealthy planter, it runs through all grades of society, falling with crushing force upon the laboring classes, many cf whom have rarely eaten bread, and tasted no meat for months, subsisting upon rice and vegetables. Well-to-do mechanics, owning real estate, have been satisfied to get meat once a week, and often fail- ing in that. Fashionable ladies wear old silks and cheap prints. A lady told one of our officers that she had pawned everything she had to get food -a watch, for which she had paid 8300, for $30, and a dimond ring, cost. ing 8250, for $25:' Alf Jeff.

THE TRIBUNE ALARMED. Tho York Tribune has, conspicious- ly, displayed itself in the past by its depreciation of the military capacity of General McClellan, at the same time studiously underrating the num- bers of the enemy, discoursing concern- ing "wooden guns," and "exaggera- ted forces." It is now shaking in ite shoes, and clamors for the reinforce- ment of McClellan, indulging in a side thrust at Stanton, the Secretary of War, denouncing the "divisions of armies and the multiplication of corns mends," as a "rot in the vigor of war," and characterizing the "weak- ening of McClellan" as a "fearful mistake." Its correspondent from "Seven Pines," under date of June 9th, says: "There is duelling at long range be- tween the enemy's pickets and our own —and there are movements and pre- paration on our Eddie and undoubtedly on their side, for the great battle soon to be fought. And I will candidly tell my friends that they must make up their minds to hear the details of a conflict beforo Richmond compared with which the battle of the Seven Pines was but a skirmish. Tito enemy are greatly superior to us in numbers Their earnestness is of course greater than ours—for they fight to repel an in- vasion of their homes and firesides. -- Their courage, as daring, if not as te- nacious as our own, is by nature sav- age, and has been animated by politics implacable hate. They have our own discipline—an equal experience in the camp and in the field—and possess in their despised smooth -bore muskets and their catridges of one round bullet and three buckshot, a far better weap- on fur this wooded fighting -ground than our boasted Minie rifles. No—I saw these rebels fight under the Seven Pines, and I say to all those people who think that we aro to march into Richmond without fighting every inch, of our way, that they nurse a de- lusion which the list of killed and wounded certainly, and possibly, the list of killed, wounded and co ptuied, will wake them from, shockingly. If they have sons, brother 8. or nephews in the battle I tell you Now Yorkers, that this rebel army has no purpose of retreating beforo us as we march into their political Capital. They sit in their trenches and lie under their can- non to save the Southern Confederacy. They dosire to fight. By evacuations of strongholds and retreats from po salons of advantage, held ju,t, lung enough to weaken us by delays, they have drawn us where they can flank us, and where they will compel us to fight, whether we want to or not.— They consider that the corning battle will decide their fate, and that of their Confederations -that it will conclude the war. They know its importance, and they aro braced to its duties. To whip this rebel army to -morrow or next day, we shall have to destroy it. To march into Richmond we must pave our way with 20,000 dead South- erners. Can we do it? If 1 could go back for three er four months, with the advantages of my present military experience, I should not cease to urge the policy of strengthening McClellan. I know now that this policy was wise. The di- vision of armies and the multiplica- tion of commands has ever been a rot in the vigor of was. If Napoleon left any legacy to the science of which he was a master, it was the concentration of forces, and the striking an enemy with overwhelming numbers, or with a rapidity of successive blows that stun while they surprise. It would have been economical, humane and politic to have given to McClellan all the dis- posable troops north and west of the Ohio, when he commenced the invasion of Virginia. He could then have bro- E Thorne, Norrish : ken the center of the peninsular defen- sec, streching from Yorktown to Lee's Mills—have saved the titne lost in the siege preparations before Yorktown— have overwhelmed the fugitive enemy on the road and in their imperfectly oc- cupied defenses at Wiliamsburg— have chased them right up to Rich- mond, if he did not scatter them for- ever right and left of the way, and would have spent in the capital city of the rebellion, with useful political effect, the weary weeks wasted in an unequal struggle with the rain and mud of the peninsula swamps, and would have kept in life and health, under Rich- mond's sheltering roofs, the thousands of soldiers who have unavoidably sick- ened and died in this unhealthiest and most difficult country that a civilized army ever operated in. The past is gone. But the present is with us, and if any part of it can be used to rectify the fearful mistake of weakening Mc- Clellan, in God's name let it be so used, and used on the instant! But to this coining fight. There are some things I would like to see done before the regiments are formed for it. I. If it were possible to get the job done, I would rub my hands with glee at witnessing the aerial translation, by divine or diabolic power, of all the coward officers in the army. I know that brave and determined officers can hold shaky troops under fire and make them fight. And I also know that, under cowardly comman4 and exans- TOR NT% BANK. J .L. THORNE Banker,M. D.

I learn- ed at the Seven Pines what I shall ev- er hereafter'consider the first of mili- tary maxims "Select your officers with the most jealous care and the most anxious scrutiny. They give character to armies, and win victories or lose battles." II. I wonld like to hear a general order read to the regiments forbidding soldiers to leave their ranks to assist the wounded to the rear. From two to ten was the escort which the wounded had at the Seven Pines—that is, every wounded man, become uaeless as a combatant, took out of the fight from two to ten sound fighting men! Sup- pose that a regiment has 600—that its wounded, as happened here on the 31st, amounts to eleven per cent ; say 66. Now, allow three as the average of the sneaks who in long -faced pro- cession get out of tire under the pre- tense of assisting wounded comrades to the surgeons. That would make a de- eertion from the regitnent of 192.— Four per cent. may be added for killed and missing ---which is 24—and we have a total diminution of fighting numbers of 282—about half of the entire regiment. The wounding of 66 men cause the battle to lose tho ser- vices of 192 beside, and the care of thee wounded could just as well as not be deferred to the close of the action, in most of the cases. In some of the cases, it could better be deferred. I have not deemed it necessary to say that the sad escorts of the wounded never returned to the fight. I did not see them return either at Williams- burg or at the Seven Pinea, nor in the military talk about the camp -fires o' - nights haae I ever heard of these faith- ful escorts returning. They stick to their bleeding trusts—hours after the burgeons have got them. III. I should like to see the Gene eral in command of the reserves stretch a lino of cavalry—a whole regimet of cavalry in a single line—away across the field, to stragglers, with peremp- tory orders to fire upon them with their carbines, and kill them dead, if, when hailed at a distance and ordered to go back, if they hesitated for a mo - men to go. This may seem harsh; but after my experience at the Seven Pines, and my clear perception cf the truth that the straggling of a few regiments whether from being overwhelmed or from cowardice, may demoralize an entire artny—may ruin a Campaign_nay wreck a great and holy cause - 1 know that it is the duty of a corns mender to promptly take the lives of the few unfaithful or timid men whose flight can magnetize brigades with ire resolution or fear. There is no doubt about this duty; and if General Peck would take on a stoarness equal to his bravery and strike dead with a close musketry fire the head of the column of stragglers, should ono stream out of the coming battle of Richmond, he would double the moral power of the army and render it invincible. I bee lieve that the essence of the soldierle contract is to die sooner than run.— Ile I argains with his country to face the foe, and be shot down, if nec- essary. If he will n ot fulfill this con- tract from a sentiment: of honor, or from pride, ho should bo made to ful- fill it by ball catridges and saber -blades The soldier who backs out of a fight, under any circumstances, should be driven back into it, or killed dead. IV. I would lik to hear whispered through this Left Wing, and order from die Commander-insChief to the Colonels to have their regiments re- ceive the enemy, if they attack, with one fire delivered kneeling,with bayoe nets fixed—and then to start to their feet with the command: "Up, boys, and at them!" Tho bayonet is our weapon. We have nearly demonstra- ted that these villains woe% and can't stand it. Our moo are larger, heavier, and higher -toned thsn the rebel rank and filo. These advantages in the use of the bayonet which they cannot pos- sibly equalize. The troops which have the enthusiasm and determination to use this weapon always make short battles and win comparatively blood less victories. For bayonets never got crossed. Men face a fire of balls be- cause they don't see them. It is not in human nature to impale itself on a line of visible coming bayonets. It will hardly be creadited when I say that there was but one bayonet wound dressed by all the surgeons at Will- iamsburg, among our own men and the rebels. For four days and nights I was among the wounded of the Sev- en Pines, and associated with the our geons who attended to the injuries of Full 3,000 of both armies, and I could not hear of a single bayonet wound among them all. There are Brigade Surgeons and Medical Directors of Di- viaions, now in the army more than a year, who have never seen a bayonet wound, and, what is more, don't ex- pect to see one. What power there is, then, in a weapon so terrible that the oldest troopa and the steadiest under fire shrink from its touch as from light- ning. We should cultivate it.

Pr The future blights more repots. tion than it ripens. My Two Lovers. BY MARY E. CLARK. 'A man who is unkind to his mother and sisters, will illstreat his wife.' My aunt Hattie made this sage ob- servation'was a shrewd sarcastic old maid, who, for fourteen years, had fill ed the place of parent's, friend and counsellor to her orphan niece. It had been no sinecure, this post of hers, fur I was a frail child, and my position as heiress made her office of chaperon to my young ladyism an anxious trust. 'Auntie!' a trembling at my heart made my voice unsteady. ;Auntie dear, of whom are yon thinking 'Of two men, Edith, who are court- ing my niece. That's an old•fashioned word, dear; but I'm oldefashioned wo- man. I mistrust Carroll Vaughn, my child. There is a tone in his voice, when he speaks to Mary, that sounds unnatural.' 'Carroll Vaughn!' I cried. 'Why, auntie, he is the pink of courtesy; and how beautifully heispeaks of his duty to his widowed mother!' 'I mistrust him Edie. I like John Myers, better. He is rough, but frank. Hem! blushing, Eddie?' 'Not a bit of it, auntie! Now, my sage monitor, tell me one thing. When a poor girl sees a man only as he chooses her to see him, in his company dress, and most fascinating manners, now can she judge of his domestic vir- tues? I cannot visit Mr. Vaughn at home, nor Mr. Myers either, fur that matter.' 'Edie, will you do an et rand fur me?' 'Certainly, I will.' wish to inquire the character of a girl who applied for a place here yes- terday. She has lived with Mrs. Vaughn and Mrs. Myers.' 'Auntie, I see.' 'Do you?' Run off for your bonnet then.' Away I went. I was sometime dressing, and I took a m°ntal survey of my two admirers while I defined wy walking suit. Carroll Vaughn was a handsome man, who dressed in faultless taste, and who had tho most courteous and finish- ed manners I had ever seen. He spoke of women as of creature too bright and good for every day life, and treat- ed me certainly as a being to be re- spectfully adored at a distance. No words can express the deference with which he treated both my aunt and myself, and the loving devotion he had expresei in speaking of his wid- owed mother and sisters, had often brought tears to my eyes. 1 knew that he was poor; but 1 thought him talent- ed, and capable of waking his mark in the world, were the means of stetting fairly within his pow. r. This wis lly In ost ardent, lover. Then—and here 1 felt my cheeks burn, though I was alone —I thonglit of Jelin Myers. His hen est, frank face was only saved from positive ugliness by the most brilliant pair of large, black eve, and his figure atnply atoned for lack u( beauty in his features. It was tall and finely formed, and his ca riage was e ect and manly. Reserved and almost bashful in his manners, he had never spoken ono word of love; but there was a softness in his tone, and flush ors his brow, when he spoke to me, that told a tale without need of spoken words. Others might seek the golden treasure my father's will had left to me; but if John Myers spoke ever of love to me, I felt sure no sordid hope of winning an heir- ess would pr,smpt him. 'Her natne was Margaret O'Neill,' said my aunt to me; be euro to inquire if she is a good ironer, Eddie.' 'I will. Good -by.' I went first to the house of my hand some beau. It was early in the day, ten or eleven o'clock in the morning, when I rang Mrs. Vaughn's bell. The servant allowed me into the front parlor. I merely said that a lady wished to in- quire the character of a servant, and drawing my veil closer, I went into the room. While waiting for Mrs. Vaughn to come down, I heard a farnilliar voice on the stairs. I say familiar, though the gentle, winning tone it had always assumed in my presence was changed for a high discordant, scolding one. 'Where the---' (I omit the oaths,) 'Is my breakfast?' 'I are coming Carroll,' said his moths er, 'but there is a lady waiting to see me.' 'Let her wait.' 'Did you see Mr. Lee, Carroll P 'No,' (another oath.) am afraid you will lose that situ- ation.' 'Well, it don't matter. I intend to get the situation of husband to an heir ess!' 'Very vague, Carroll.' I mentally assented. 'Where's Mary? Why the thunder don't she get my breakfast?' 'She ie making Miss Jones' collars. She is in a hurry. If you would sae Mr. Lee, Carroll, your mother and sis- ter need not work so steadily.' 'Mary might as well get used to it, for neither she nor Pattie are going to loaf on my wife's money. I suppose we must take your but the girls must shift for themselves' I had heard enough. From the sound of the voices, I knew that the speakers were in the kitchen; so I soft- ly crossed tho entry and made a quick exit by the front door. ;A Should I go home? Somehow the thought that I might hear a similar conversation at Mrs. Myers' gave me a sick feeling, but I conquered the non- sensical weakness and turned into G— street. Tho front door stood wide open. I know it was wrong, but I went into the house, unannounced, and, crossing the entry, went into the library, the sitting -room was next it, and there I knew I should find Mrs. Myers, who was a friend of my aunt's. As I opened the library door, Mrs. Myers' voice fell upon my ears. 'My dear boy, yon are right. You must indeed go.' Go! Where? I stood still. 'It is a lucrative situation, and will enable me to give you and the little boys many of the comforts you have wanted since father died.' 'But we shall wise you sorely, John.' 'It is:best for me to go, mother dear. I have not told yon before; but I had better leave the city for a time.' 'John, you have not done anything wrong?' 'No; but—but, mother, I love where my love would appear, if spoken, a mean seeking for wealth. I cannot woo an heiress. To live upon my wife would be revolting to every feeling of manhood. No; were the case reversed, and were Edith Hart poor, and I rich, she should know how deeply and truly I love her; if she remains single till 1 can gain position and fortune she may know it later; but now—' Indelieate, nnmaidenly, I know not; but I passed the threshhold be- tween the library and sitting -room, and said. 'Now, John, she—' And here, like an idiot, I began to cry. Crying as a general thing is not becomiug; but John seemed rather to admire it. There was a general sobbing and em- bracing; and when aunt Hattie, two hours latter, came to find her lost niece, she cortld only say, 'Well, my dear, I always liked John, and I think he will make you very hap- py., Carroll Vaughn, some time latter, married an heiresss after all, a widow ladd with a son two years older than her bridegroom. Hie sisters, Mary and Pattie, take in sewing, and his mother keeps a boarding-house. No TUNING DURING Senvioe.--The New Hampshire Telegraph, tells the fowilling which is too good to be lost Many years ago there was in the east ern part of Massachusetts, a worthy D. D., and although he was an emi- nently benevolent man and a good Christian, yet it must bo confesa,e1 that he loved a joke much better than even the most inveterate jelters. It was be- fore church organs were much in use; it so happened that the choir of the church Intel recently purchased a double bass viol. Not far front the church was a large pasture, and in it huge town bull. One hot Sabbath in the summer he got out of the pasture, and came bellowing up the street. About the church there was a plenty of untrod- den and good grass, and Mr. Bull stop- ped to try the quality; perhaps to as- certain it ite location had improved its flavor; at any -rate the Doctor was in the midst of his sertnon when: 'Booswooswoo,' went the bull. The Doctor paused, looked up at the singing seats, and with a grave face saTwould thank the musicians not to tune their instruments during service time—it annoys me very much.' The people stared, and the '_minister he went on. 'Boo -woo -woo,' went the bull again, as he passed another green spot. The parson paused again, and ad- dressed the choir: really wish the singers would not tune their instruments while I am preaching, as I remarked before, for it annoys me very much.' Tho people tittered, for they all knew what the real state of the case was. The minister then went on again with his discourse, but had not pro- ceeded far, before another •Boo -woo - woo' came from Mr. Bull.

News has been received both by way of St. Louis and Fortress Monroe, that rumors prevail that Richmond is ours. We think that our next news will con- firm the rumor. GREAT BATTLE BEFORE RICH- MOND. On Thursday about noon the enemy attacked the extreme right of our army, evidently with the view of outflanking us in that direction. This was follow- ed by tremendous assaults along our front from right to the centre, in which immense slaughter was inflicted on both sides, but mist heavily on the enemy. The telegraph from McClellan's headquarters to White House was cut, so that information of the battle was not promptly communicated. White House was abandoned and burnt, and the shipping moved down to West Point. LATER. -The positive addition made by th.e telegraph this morning to the news of yesterday concerning our ar- my before Richmond, amounts to lit- tle more than the fact that a portion of our army has reached the James River at Turkey Island bridge, about fifteen miles below Richmond. It thus gains communication with the gunboat fleet on the James River, as well as a more salubrious country along the highlands of the rivertin ex- change for its late position among the Chickahominy swamps. We are advised that some time ago McClellan made known his purpose to make this movement, which was finally necessitated by the heavy uttacks of the enemy on his right wing. We have no information in regard to the losses in the terrible fights of Thursday and Friday. 'The reply of President Lincoln to the Quaker Abolition Delegation, has not given great satiffation to the radicals. Iu his extemporaneous reply to tha formally prepared address, urg- ing him to use his position for the ex- termination of Slavery in the South, Mr. Lincoln firmly but courteously cor- rected the glossing given to his ante- cedent position upon this subject, and was consistent with all that he has heretofore expressed. IIe reminded the delegates that the extract from his Springfield speech was iucomplote, and in his quaint but effective manner ex- pressed the opinion that if a simple dei ctee of emancipation were sufficient w abolish slavery, John Brown would have done it when at Harper's Ferry, but that while the Constitution itself cannot be enforced in the Southern States, it could not be expected that a decree of emancipation could be. All these efforts to commit the President in some way to the programme of the radicals have failed to swerve him a hair's breadth from the line of conduct he prescribed for himself or from the policy announced by hitn io the begin- ning of his admiuistration. ENORMOUS Gues.-The Secretaries of the Army and Navy are in search of guns of a size and destructive power truly formidable. They want twenty smoothbores, of 15 -inch calibre, weigh- ing not over 5,000 pounds, and carry- ing balls of 450 pounds at an initial ve, locity of not, less than 1,500 feet per second; and the same nnmber of rifled guns, of 12 -inch calibre, about sixteen feet long, and carrying a shot of 500 pounds at a minimum initial velocity of 1 300 feet. These guns will be tested with 1,000 rounds of powder, weighing one-fourth as much as the shot for the smoothbore, and one fifth as much as that for the trifled piece. -- Should American ingenuity be equal to the demand -as it unquestionably will be -a class of ordnance is ill be pro- duced which will make still further improvement in ironclad vessels necess sary. The 15 inch smoothbores asked for are precisely the size of the great Union gun at Fortress Monroe. The rifled pieces will be almost twice as large as the largest hitherto made in this country; and it is with regard to them that the mechanical ingenuity of the country has the ncblest opportuni- ty for its exercise. st4.TCongress in both Houses has vo- ted that there shall be no 1.'gal sanction to polygamy, and that henceforth the slistingui,hing social feature of the many wived kingdom of Brigham shall be stamped and punished as plain big- amy.

SOLDIERS AND THE IIOMESTEAD ACT. -In reply to an in uiry whethera sol- dier who has enlis for two or three years can employ ae to locate and occupy for him a quarter section under the lIonitestead act, or must wait until his term of enlistment is out, the New York . Tribune says: "If the soldier has a wife, we presume she can locate and make ilox borne on a quarter sec- tion, hiring such help to build a cabin and put sortie land in cultivation as she may require. and she can establish a presemption in her husband's name in spite of his absence in the field; but a married man's legal residents is with his family. An unmarried man must wait till his enlistment is out; for this law knows no such thing as settlement by substitute. There is no hurry abort obtaining lands under this beltificent measure. The Government owns good land enough to give five millions of settlers a quarter section each, and there will not be so much difficulty as is supposed. IMPAKTIALLTY.-Ueneral Butler's im- partial ty in the administration of law in New Orleans is of the strictest kind While ho hangs a rebel who cuts down the federal flag, he does not hesitate to inflict the same penalty upon a federal naval officer who commits depredations upon rebel property.

In addition to the counties in the new State, as organizer) by the Wheeling Convention, those laying north of Harper's Ferry and down the Valley of Virginia are inclu- ded. One provision which the con- vention is required to add to the new constitution, by this bill, is one des claring all children born of slaves af- ter July, 1861, free for life. The bill opens with a preamble declaring that an act of the Virginia Legislature of May 13, 1861, gives consent to the for- mation of a new State within rho lim- its of Virginia. THE JAMES ISLAND BATTLE. -It ap- pears that the Charleston papers gave a correct account of the battle on James Island, not exagerating in the least the National losses. By. the news it seems that our lose in killed, wounded and missing, was neatly seven hundred. - The rebel batteries were taken by two Federal regiments, but not being sup- ported, other Union forces behaving badly, they were obliged to retire. Our troops, at last advices, wero under the sheltering fire of gunboats, awaiting re inforcements. General Benham, who commanded the Nationals on the oc- casion has arrived at New York, it is reported under arrest. The Commission on Contracts, composed of ex -Secretary Holt and Robert Dale Oi'en, have submitted to Congress their report, showing that two citizens of Rhode Island obtained contracts with the War Department for a certain number of small arms, through the influence of Senator Sim- mons, of that S:ate for which that Sen- ator was to receive fifty thousand dol- lars. The evidence to be submitted with this statement shows that ten thousand dollars have been received. GOV. STANLY'S EXPLANATION. The Newbern_ correspondent of the New York Tribune reports at length a conversation with, Gov. Stanly, in which the latter fully explained the circumstances attending those meas- ures which have excited so much in- dignation against him at the North. - With regard to the closing of the ne- gro schools, Gov. Stanly states that he did not order the discontinuance, but simply expressed his disapproval of a movement towards educating the slaves contrary to the laws of North Caroli- na, as untimely, when it was the desire of the Government to conciliate the people of the State. Upon this ex- pression of disapproval Mr. Collyer proceeded at once to close the school. FOREIGN INSURANCE C0IZPANIES.- There were only two English Compa- nies involved in the loss in the great fire at Troy, New York, the Liverpool and London and the Unity. The Liv- erpool and London was theheaviest sufferer by this fire -this company had 130 policies in the burnt district, in- volving $153,310. And it is but fair to say that the officers of the Company "faced the music" in the promptest manner. Mr. Bacon, the local agent, issued an advertisement to all policy holders, requesting them to call at the Company's ofBee immediately, where Colonel Hendricks, the General Agent of the Company, devoted himself to adjusting and paying the losses as fast AS he could get through them. We un derstand 11e paid out $60,000 within the week following the fire. It is esti- mated that this Troy loss will cometo just about 24 per cent on the accumu- lated assets of the company. Messrs.

Respecting the rendition of a fugi- tive slave the Tr(bune correspondent makes the following statement: "Gov. Stanly says that Bray, whom he had known as a citizen of Newbern from his boyhood, came to him one day, and said that one of his fetnale slaves had been enticed away by our troops, and was held against her will. The Governor replied that if he could assure him that such was the fact he would give Sim permission to search for the woman within our lines. If she were really held against her will, and desirous to return to servitude, he could take her back, and would be pro- tected in so doing. He was not to use force or threats, however, to accom- plish his purpose. All was to be free and voluntary on the woman's part. - Tho warrant empowering Bray to search for the slave was issued; she was found, and brought to Gov. Sta- ly's.door by Bray and his wife, who reported her discovery to him, and re- quested him to ask the girl herself if she was willing to return. He did not do so, how -ver, as he considered the matter a uicably settled Gov. Stanly told me this evening, at our interview, that he had not, and never expected to enforce the fugitive slave law. That when Bray applied for help to recover the woman, he al' leges to have been torn from him by force, be refused it, for he was pow- erless to assist him. The experiment of rendition had been made and faiicd, although the slave was said to be a willing party. He should not venture to make a second attempt. NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. WASHINGTON, June 29. The following is the conclusion' of the affair of the attack of McClellan's right wing, and the withdrawal and concentration of the right-wing to the left and centre: ' "Since closing my letter from the White House, I find myself in Wash- ington City, and in prsession of most reliable information from White House and other pointe -tin the peninsula, nearly a day later than is contained in my letter. It appears, that telegraph communi- cation between White Clouse and Mc- Clellan was not broken till nearly one o'clock Saturday, and then the wires were cut at Aslabon, 11 miles oat.- Tunstall's Station, four miles ont, was in our poseasian until four o'clock in the evening, at which hour the opera- tor at White House heard a strange signal coming over the wire. On go- ing to the instrument he was heralded with what Union soldiers call the rob- el naticnai salute -"Oh, you Yankees." This was the signal given for final evacuation, when a portion of the in- fantry forces immediately embarked on steamboats in waiting for them. - The last of the transports was moved off by steam tags, and a few articles scattered about on shore, even some damaged hay fired. The whole was of very small value, and thus of the many millions of -property here a few days ago, perhaps not 815,000 worth was destroyed, In the midst of this the White House was fired and entirely consumed. The enemy made his appearance in WHAT SPANIARDS THINK OF OUR ARMY. The Spanish General Prim, accom- panied by General Miens del Bosch, Colonel Cortazen, Commander Guerra, Senors Ceballas, Navarro, San M'guei, A. R. Fernandez, T. G. Schomburg and Captain Chauncey, United States Navy, paid a visit to Camp Washing- ton, Staten Island, New York, While there, the Herald says: The conversation turned to the late visit of General Prim and suite to the Army of the Potomac before Rich- mond General Milan was most en• tbusiastio on the subject. He had seen all the armies of Europe; but nev- er had he witnessed anything to sur- pass the discipline, spirit and pluck of General McClellan's force. He wit- nessed a review of 30,000 Union sol- diers, and stated that their bearing and intelligence were those of veterans of ten years' experience. For General McClellan not to conquer was an utter impossibility. The spirit of the sold- iers and the confidence in their leader were such as rendered success beyond the shadow of a doubt. McClellan's plan of operations, in General Prim's opinion, were perfect. It was impos- sible for the leader of the Army of the Potomac to lose one inch of ground and the complete subjugation of the rebels was, he thought, only the work of a very few days, at furthest. Captain Chauncy remarked that of coarse it was not to be expected that our soldiers could be as perfect as vet- erans. General Militia with an immense and peculiarly intelligent shrug, re- plied: ''I do not care if you believe or not, I tell you I have seen thirty thou- sand of your men in review, and they are as perfe Jts as veterans of ten years service.'' Captain Chauncey stated. that the oppor tunies to see our troops to advan- tage were very meagre. General Milians auewered that be did not care for show. He had walked about from man to man, and found they not only understood how to use the arms in their hands, lint 'Wet their intelligence and' courage . were of the highest order. Such soldiers wouid suffer no defeat of any consequence. GENERAL ORDER NO, 11. GEN. HEAD Qa's., STATE OF MIN. ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE. ST. PAUL, Jane 24, 1862.

NOTICE. --I hereby give notice that I have this 30th day of June, 1862, in possession -taken up on the 19th day of June 1862, as lost property -a part of a wag- on, described as follows, viz: Throe wheels, two axles (one broken), hounds, tongue boteter and wagon bed. The owner or owners of said property, can have considerable force at the White [louse, possession of the Lame, by calling on me at about seven o'clock Saturday eve- puoreagbpr,annWchl rty, and payiarHA,YSrs ning, and although he neither found g Mendota, Dakota, County Minnesota. bread for men or hay for the beast, was welcomed with heavy showers of grape -shot from the three gunboats which were drawn up in front of the landing, -rebels were supposed to be 30,000 strong. The cavalry at the White House guarded the departure of the last wagons and horses which moved off at the final evacuation' and joined the forces of Gen. Stoneman, who were hovering in the vicinity all day. After seeing their trains off and securing their entire safety, Gan. Stone- man toneman with entire force moved off in a direction that I am not at liberty to state. Gen. Casey reports that he lost not a man, nor did he leave a soul behind, not even a contraband. At ten o'clock on Saturday morning Col. Ingall and Capt. Santetto were before Yorktown with an immense convoy of vessels and steamers on their way to the ne w base of operations on James river; they would doubtless move down immediately to Fortress Monroe and wait instructions of Gen. McClellan. A number are already up the Jame. river. under the protection of the gun boats. Since an early hour on Saturday morning General McClellan has been deprived of telegraphic communication with Washington. He abandoned its use several hours before it was cut, doubtless being fearful that the enemy might by placing a magnet on the wires read his orders. PHILADELPTIA, June 30.-A corres- pondent arrives at the following con- clusion: The object of • Gen. Mc- Clellan was to abandon the ,White House and draw in the right wing of his army across the Chickahominy, which be has acomplished with but little loss in comparison with the pun- ishment bestowed on the enemy. Gen•_ral McClellan has also strength ened his po,ition by contracting his lines and changing the base of opera- tions to the James river, where he will have theco•operation of the gunboats; and it the enemy attempt to interrupt his supply vessels by making a dash on James river' they will meet with prompt punishment from the gunboats, and so weaken their forces in front of Richmond that the ci;y will fall into his hands with but a slight struggle: HOW THE WAR IS VIEWED ABROAD. We quote the London Times to show the idea entertained abroad of the magnitude of the warin which we• are engaged, and to prove that this and fair dealing to merit a share of patron. opinion is shared by the most enligbt- age. Our stock consists in part of ened classes, let us ask attention to the subjoined extract from a recent speech delivered by Lord Brougham at .the opening of the British Association for the Promotion of Science, in West- mieister Abbey: "Bnt'tbe present unhappy state of affairs in the new world is calculated to withdraw our attention from all oth- conntries, and fix it upon the fortunes of .our' kinsmen,and the lessons which their institutions; or their errors, are fitted to teach. A civil war has for twelve months raged among them far more dreadful• than the prospect of which, on the banks of the Rubicon, struck 'horror °through .its author's limbs, made his hair.stand on end, and stayed his steps -a war waged, not by a few thousand soldiers on either side, but- the whole peopt'e." This was said in the most. celebrated public place in the British. isles, -as spot rendered illustrious by the history- ,of England for hundreds. 'of . pars -and uttered, too, by one .who; , had been Lord Chancellor, statesman of well earned fame and a scholar of profound attainments.

The advantages of this!route from all pointe on the Upper Mississippi to Chicago and the East, are superior to those offered by any com peting Line. No change of Cars between Prat ie du Chien and Chicago. The Splendid First Class Steamers of the Prarie du Chien and Si. Paul Packet Line superior to all others on the Upper Missis sippi, for speed, comfort and convenience, make direct connection with Express Trains at Prairie du Chien. By this route, passengers are enabled tc reach Chicago as quick as by any other; get ting a full night's rent and breakfast, on boar& steamers; making the change from Steamers to Cars by daylight, and avoiding all omni bus travel. The distance from St. Paul to Chicago by this route is 460 miles. The distance via the La Crosse and Milwaukee Raiiroad is 162 miles. Over one mile of Omnibus trav- el rayel is incurred by taking the route via;,Le Crosse and Milwaukee, These facts entitle this line to at least a share of the North-Western business: E. P.

'I really should like to oblige you,' snid Paul Hammond to his wife, 'but really I can't afford it.' 'But,' persisted his better half, 'it's only a trifle. Just think, only the pal- try sum of three dollars. 'Well, the world is made up of tri- fles. Seconds make the minutes, and hours the days, and years the centuries,' returned Paul. 'It's only a dollar for this, a few paltry dollars for that, and yet these small articles, mere trifles in themselves, make a vast sum. It is very easy for you to talk Jane, and say, oh, it's ouly a trifle, bat to me, who has to earn everything by the sweat of my brow, it is very different.' :But,' chimed in his wife, I have 'set my heart on having the book. It's a most charming magazine, so full of beautiful plates, interesting stories and witty savings, I do so desire to have it. Frank Stafford does not earn as much money as you do, yet his house is well supplied with books, papers and peri- odicals, and lie has a much larger fam- ily to provide for than yours.' 'Jane, sure I don't se3 how he man- ages to arrange things so nicely. I never lost a day, unless compelled by sickness, I am not the victim of any bad habite, and yet my friend Stafford seems to have more things for comfort, and on less money than I earn, is actu- ally laying by something for a rainy day. I wish I could understand the secret of hie success,' and Paul depart. ed for hie shop. Resot.vF.D, That we denounce the principles of Southern Secession and No.thern Abolitionism as twin heresies, producing only hatred, strife and bloodshed, threatening the very exis- tence of our National Government; at emnity with every principle of State Sovereignty and responsible for all the miseries of our distracted country. RESOLVED, That the so-calle.l Re— publican party, by surrendering itself into the hands of the radical abolition fists, whose declared purpose it is to destroy the institution of slavery at whatever hazard to the existence of the Union, has forfeited all claim to be consideied a national party, and its continuance as a dominant political power would be as fatal to the integri• ty of the Republic, as in repeated in- stances, it has proved itself to be re- gardless of the restraints of the Con- stitution. We charge that party 1. With a violaticn of the liberty of the citizen by consigning to prison without warrant of law, many innccent and loyal men, and affording them no opportnnity for defence. 2. With unjust and ;arbitrary re- strictions upon the freedom of the press. by the suppression of loyal jour- nals; politically opposed to that party. 3. With instituting a rigid cen- sorship of the press and of the tele- graph lines, under the pretence of a military necessity, but really with the intention to prevent the people at large from obtaining such information of the actual condition of affairs, as would enable them to hold the political lead- ers of the dominant party responsible for the gross maladministration of the government. 4. With unheard of corruptions in the management of the public finances, whereby according to the showing of members of their own party, nearly ono hundred millions of dollars have been stolen by anon high in offs e, or recklessly squandered through their means upon their political friends. 5. With initiating in Congress measures of coofiscatiou and emanci- pation of extreme severity, which must necessarily have the effect to drive Southern Union men into the ranks of the rebels, to concentrate and embit- ter the armed opposition to the Gov- ernment, and thereby prolong the war. G. With abandoning the tradition- al policy of the nation in conceding the right of search, at a time and cir- cumstances which justify the assump- tion that it was a disgraceful truckling to the wishes, if not the.dictation, of the British Government. 7. With an outrageous trifling with the lives of our noble volunteers, and with the public safety, by the appoint. ment to high military position, in many cases, of political favorities utterly in• competent to perform their duties, or to lead their commands on the battle- field. 8. 'With extravagance in every de- partment of the Government, whereby the buiden of National and State tax- ation is enormously and unnecessarily increased. 9. With a want of knowledge and ability to manage the affairs of the na- tion in its present condition of extreme peril, and a complete falsification of its pledges to the country that the war should be prosecuted to reduce the re- bellion, and preserve the Union as it me more than twelve dollars a year.' 'No more than that,' said Paul 'Only twenty-five cents a week—less than one cigar a day: I was talking with my wife this morning, and she desired tae to subscribe for a periodical and I told ber I could not afford it, and yet I found myself spending fool- ishly more than a sixth part of the sum in one day. Bat it is never to late to mend.' And as be entered the shop. he ordered the periodical for a year. What jey might thus be carried to many a family which sit in darkness, if, instead of wasting their substance in foolishness, men would only judi- laid newspaper, book or i d c l Paul Hammond was an honest, hardworking, good sort of a man, a machinist by trade, and a workman who possessed the full confidence of his employers. FIe had been brought up in a luxurious kind of a way; his fath- er being one of that class of men, who deny themselves or families nothing which they can procure. Paul had in herited this fatal passion—fatal, I say, because a man wlio indulges it cannot hope to place himself in easy circum- stances; who practices it if he has noth- ing but his own industry to rely upon to accomplish it. He had been a num- ber of years in the same shop, had been steady, industrious and faithful, in re- ceipt of good wages, promptly and punctually paid, and yet he had not saved anything; worse than that ho had frequently been in debt, He had re- solved on retrenchment, and had so far succeeded, at the time of which we write, ae to be clear from debt. But this had only been accomplished by a changed style of living --a denying himself of luxuries and comforts which he felt were necessary to his happiness, and which he meant to procnre when- ever he should be able. He felt that a man who had a small family to pro- vide for, on an income of six hundred dollars, ought to be able to live well, and yet not exhaust the whole of his income—and so it might. Yet there were things of which ho was totally lg.. norunt, but which in his remarks to his wife in regard to trifles, malting up the sum of everything, he little thought was a practical sermon to preach to himself. On his way down to the shop ho dropped into a cigar store to procure a cigar, as was his custom, and there being four of his acquaintances present, he could do no less than offer them a cigar apiece. He threw down his quar- ter, lighted his cigar, and jogged along to the workshop. Tho day's work be, ing over, and Paul, on Lis way home- ward, passed by an oyster saloon. The smell of stews greeted his olfactories, and feeling tired and hungry, he step- ped in and called for a stew. Hardly had he given his orders when a couple of associates also entered; of course he could do no lees than offer them a treat in the way of of an invitation to join him, and which they accepters.

He recalled the shade of disappointment which passed over the face of his wife, as he told her he could not afford to get her the book. He then thought how lone- ly she must often be in his absence— restricted to the bougie by her family cares, a dull routine gone over every day, devoid of companionship—and he tbonght, if it were his case, how could he stand it? And then he thought of the smile of joy which he might carry home with him if he could procnre the book, and how he would be pleased to do it—if he could only afford it. was.

I've a notion that he is in a fix with a gal down in Ken- tucky—any how, I wouldn't look at him now, for I have five fellers to spark me since I cum here and another wants to turn, but I give hint the bag.

'And,reasoned he, I have spent, on an average, at least twenty-five cents a day;' soliloquized he; why that is a dollar and a half a week—six dollars and more a month, and over seventy-five dollars a year, a sum large enough to store my house liberally with newspapers and period- icals, and yet leave a handsome mar- gin.' Just then he met his friend, Frank Stafford. 'Good evening, Paul, said Frank.— •I am going yonr way in afew minutes Turn back; I wish to go to the news depot to purchase a book.'

'Not a fifth as much as your cigars.— Let me see;.1 take three weeklies, a daily and- a (monthly, which cannot oat no place for them.' 'Never mind that,' said Richard. When the service was over, the con- stable took Richard prisoner, and bro't him before the Mayor. 'Well,' says the Mayor, 'what have you brought the soldier here for?' 'For playing cards in church; 'Well, soldier, what have you to say for yourself?' 'Much, air, I hope.' 'Very good: if not I will punish you more than ever man was punished.' 'I have been,' said the soldier, 'about six weeks on the march. I have noth.. ing but a pack of cards, and I hope to satisfy your worship of the parity of my intention.' 'Very good,' said the Mayor And spreading the cerds before the klayor, he began with the ace: 'When I see the ace, it reminds me there is but one God. 'When I eee the deuce, it reminds me of the Father and Son. When I see the tray, it reminds me of the Father, San and Holy Ghost. When I see the four, it reminds me of the four evangelists that preached, viz: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. When I see the five, it reminds me of the five wise virgins that trimmed their lamps. There were ten, but five were wise, and five were foolish, and were shut cut. When I see the six, it reminds me that in six days God created the heav- ens and earth. Who I see the seven, it reminds me that on the seventh day God rested from the work which he had made,and hallowed it. When I see the eight, it reminds me of the eight righteous persons that were saved when God drowned the world, viz: Noah and his wife, and bis three sons and their wives. When I see the nine, it reminds me of the nine Lepers that were cleansed by our Saviour. There were nine out of the ten that never returned thanks. When I see the king, it reminds me of the Great King of Heaven, which is God Almighty. When I see the queen, it reminds me of the .Queen of Sheba for site is as wise a woman as he was a man. She brought lwith her fifty boys and fifty girls, all dressed in boys apparel, for King Solomon to tell which were boys and which were girls. King Solomon sent for water to wash themselves; the girls washed to elbows, and boys to the wrist, so King Solomon told by that.' 'Well,' said the Mayor,"you have given a description of all cards in the pack except one.' 'Which is that?' said the soldier. 'The knave.' 'I will give your honor a description of that too, if yon will not be angry?' 'I will not,' said the Moor, 'if you will not term me to be the knave.' 'Well,' said the soldier, 'the great- est knave I know of is the constable who brought me here.' 'I do not know,' said the Mayor, 'whether he is the greateet knave, but I know he is the greatest foul.' 'When I count how many spots in a pack of cards, :I find 2.05—as many days as there are in a year. When I count the number of cards in a pack, I find there are 52—the number of weeks there are in year. And I find four suits—the number of weeks in a month. I find there are twelve picture cards in the pack, representing the number of months in a year; and on connting the tricks, I find thirteen—the number of weeks is a quarter.

The Second Resolution is unjust as classing Southern Secessionism and Northern Abolitionism as twin heresies To entertain the idea of Secession, without an overt act against the Gov - eminent could scarcely be denomina- ted treason, but when that idea has cul- minated in resort to arms to subvert the government, then he who so takes up the sword becomes a traitor and de- serves a traitors doom. Much as we may despise Abolitionism, until it at- tempts to destroy the h'ederal Union, and insult the American flag, we can- not class it as the loathsome, slimy, ie- siduous, dishonest devil that secession is, and the oaers that attempt to do so prove to us that their pr judices have ran away with their rea on.

Measures of a radical character. to our mind, have been introduced into Congress, but with the support which they have received, and their failure to secure the sanction of members, they stand as individual opinions, evidences of the narrownes of those who present- ed thew rasher than the weakness of a erative meeting without being being visited by the retributive justice of an indignant people.

VICIKSBURG BESIEGED.—The state- ment of a few days ago, that Vicks - was. ours, was premature, but the city is evidently in a state of siege, and must soon fall before the naval force of the Mississippi. A canal for the conven- ience of the gnu boats, has been cut round the city, on t'io west side of the river. world reach, for each one, the sum of $2,000 per annum. MAJ. CULLEN.—Major Cullen is the candidate of the 2d of July Conven- tion for Congress in this District.— Before the Convention it was under- sto,d that Maj. Cullen had money, and that he would use it for his election— in other words, that be would buy himself a sant in Congress. If Major Cullen had so much money that all he now has would not pay the interest on it for five seconds, he would not have money enough to buy the support of one truly loyal man for the 2d of July resolutions. /Or A correspondent of the Pough- keepsie Pres, gives an account of an interview with General Scott, in which the old veteran—"in response to a re- mark that there had been some splens did fighting before Richmond, replied, 'Yes, there bas been some severe fight- ing; I hope there will be no more of it.' We remarked that McClellan was severely censored in some quar- ters by his apparently slow movements; to which the General immediately re- ptierl, McClellan is doing well. He will take Richinond. He is moving as rapi.ily as is prudent: " movement of Gen. McClellan, and du- ring which the rebels engaged him, re- sulting in a seven days fight, in each day of which the rebels were worsted, the Richmond papers acknowledge to a loss of 30,000 men. As far as in- telligence has reached us the federal loss during the entire time was but two tbonsand, though this small loss seems incre tilde, amidst so much slaughter, so far we have no contradic- tory reports. In the department of the Shen- andoah, General Sigel takes General Fremont's c;.mmand, the appointment of General King having been declined by that officer, who prefers his own present connection with his splendid division. The position already won by General Sigel will cause • his ap- pointment to bo eyerywhere gladly welcomed by the people. ;-' Some of the orders relating to the capture of the bushwhackers or guerillas are peculiarly signiffcant and easily understood. We givo the point of a few of them: Secretary Stanton says—''Let them swing." General Dix advises to "shoot them on the spot." General Scofield says—" -Execute them immediately." General Blunt says—"Give them no quartet." General Loan says—"Shoot them when found." General Ilalleck's orders are, "Let them be tiled numediately by drum- head scent, and punished with death.' Le' On Sunday evening a party of 'Ethel guerillas, supposed to be 500 in number, in Henderson and Webster counties, attacked a company of the Louisville (Kentucky) Provost Guard, encamped in a hotel in Henderson.— One of Lieutenants was killed and 20 men wounded. The rebels, finally cleared out undercover of darkness. • Henry Warts Beecher, in a dis- course delivered on Sunday Last, in Brooklyn, said: "I do not believe you will ever get superstition enough in a New England congregation to do any harm.. It is as much as ho (a Yankee) can do to revere bis father and mother. It is as much as a Yankee can do to bow down before God Almighty." MCCLELL.SN ADVANCING.—Gen Mc- Clellan bas commenced offensive oper- ations on the James River, and has ad- vanced five miles towards Richmond. capturing a thousand prisoners, and scattering the rebels in all directions. 12rThe St. Paul and St. Anthony ten mile railroad is not in running con dition, the sand having washed onto the track, from the cuts, in such quan- tities during rho recent rains, as to pre- vent the running of trains for several days. Bring out the one horse wagon. The First Regiment of Minnesota Volunteers were in the recent fight be- fore Richmond. Twelve men were wounded, three_ fatally; we have no further particulars from the Regiment. ;REPUBLICAN CONVENTION,—Tbe State Central Comtnittee of this State have called a District Congressional Cons vention, to be held at St. Paul on the 30th inst., for the purpose of nomina- ting a candidate to represent ;the Sec- ond District in Congress. rj-Judge Chatfield is the nominee of the 2nd of July Convention, for Congress in the 1st District. He ought not to receive a vote, so long as he consents to be known politically by the resolutions of the 2nd inst. Hens- ley give the old serpent the devil. lFive Lieutenants and two Ser- geants, captured by the rebels at the battle of Shiloh, escaped from Macor, Georgia, and arrived at Washington, on the 6th inst. £'The London Times expresses the opinion that not much will be done before fall to terminate tho war, and lsopes that before that time measures will be devised to pot an end to the conflict. At the rate things are now progressing, foreign intervention can be of no avail if is deferred till fall. OFFICIAL AVOWAL OF BRITISH POLI- CY --In a parliamentary debate on the 30th of last month, Earl (betterknown as Lord John) Russell, defined the for- eign polio), of the present Government of Great Britain. He said: The policy of this administration has been in the first place one of non intervention in the domestic affairs of other countries. Can any one say that is a aggressive policy; or that, if we had proposed to interfere either on be- half of the sovereigns, we should not have been more likely to invole our- selves in war, or at all events in prep- aration for war, than we have been while carefully refusing to interfere in the ccncerns of those countries? (Hear, hear.) The other principle which I have kept steadily in in view is that we shall always encouge the independence of other countries; that it is for the ads vantage of the world that each inde- pendent nation should preserve its own state, its own privileges and its own po sition. But that, again, is not a prin- ciple that tends to war; it is one that tends to peace, and to the preservation of the rights of every nation by other countries. WHO ARE ABOLITIONISTS?—Judge S. M. Breckinridge made a powerful speech in the Missouri State Conven- tion in which was the following pas- sage: think I may say, that without any 'pinion on this subject that would justify the charge, there is not to lie found in•the State of Missouri a single man of marked loyalty, who has not already been denounced as as an Abo- litionist, when, in point of fact, he is as far removed from as those who prefer rho charge. 'Phis charge has been so often and so flippantly made, that 1 have come to consider it as, pethaps, the most unfailing test of a man's loyalty that he had been denounced as an abolitionist.

The store generally were closed and :the people gathered together in commemoration of the natal day of Freedom. Two par- ties sought the refreshing shade of the forest trees iu the vicinity of Vermil- lion, and the Declaration of Independ- ence was read, speeches made, and toasts and responses uttered, amid a great profusion of good cheer and genial feeling. We cannot particu'arize all the good things of the day --and we leave the subject with the meie state- ent that it was a day of general re- joicing. In the evening by the munificence of Mr. French, and other public spirited gentlemen, the citizens of town and country were gratified by a brilliant dis- play of fire works.

To retstred of this, it is only necessary In make the trial The Wine itself is of a very tuperior quality, being about one third stron- ger than other wines; warming and invigor- ating the whole system from the head to the feet. As these Bitters are tonie and altera- tive in their character, so they strengthen and intigorete the whole system and give a fine tone and healthy action to all its parts, by equalizing the eirculation, removing ob- etruetions, aud producing a geneml warmth. They are also excelknt for diseases and weak - nes peculiar to Females, where a tonic is regeired to strengthen and brace the systera. No lady, who is subject to lassi- tude and faintness, should be without them, ma they are revivify in their action. THESE BITTERS Will not only Cure, but prevent Disease and in this respoet are doubly valuable to the person who may use them.

We notice that the National Repub- lican advocates the idea of returning the present niembcrs of Congress as the wisest policy, and productive of the most beneficial results. This is not new, as it has always been the doctrine of the ins, while it has been most bit- terly opposed by the nuts. We admit that familiarity with the Congressional routine comes of long experience, but when this long experience brings forth the fruit of treason, we must condemn it. Senators and Representatives from the South have indoctrinated their peo- ple with this idea until the election of to defile the name of !Democrat," when two years ago they succeeded in the destruction of that party, and to- day are plotting for the overthrow of that leve of power which has prompt• the Nation and imperiling the dearest ed Southern men to take that other al- hopes of freemen?

REBEL ACCOUNT OF THE SEVEN DAY'S FIGHT.—Dispatches from Washington dated July 9th, says the Richmond Ex- aminer of the 4th calls Tuesday's bat- tle the fiercest and most sanguinary of the series of bloody conflicts. Magruder's command was ordered to charge the strongest of the federal bat- teries. Tho officers and men went down by the hundreds, while the horrors of the battle were increased by the continuous broadsides from the enemy's gunboats. The carnage from the withering fire of tl e federal artillery and gunboats was dreadful. Enormous shells, eight inches in width by twenty-three in length, were thrown by the gunboats. The ravages of these monsters were everywhere discernible through the for- ests, long avenues being cut through the tree tops, and great trees three or four feet thick burst open and split into shreds. A late copy of the Richmond Ex• aminer says the rebels could certainly cut off McClellan's retreat, but it would be far better to prevent his receiving further supplies, and starve hint into a capitulation. It says: "Fill up our armies, and prepare for a contest as long as our enemy will choose to urge it; and let it be as energetic as possi- ble,' THE WAR IN THE WEST.—A rebel force of three or four thousand under the Texan Ranger, Col. Forest, mane a sudden descent. Saturday morning, on Murfeesburo, where Col. Lester's brig- ade, composed of the Michigan 11th Minnesota 3d and Hewitt's 1st Ken- tucky Battery, were stationed. The Michigan regiment had surrendered at 3 o'clock in the afternoon; our noble Third with Hewett's Battery had re- pulsed the enemy in three snccessive charges, with terrible slaughter. Col. Lester replied to a demand to surrend- er, that he could hold his position a week. One statement is that Col. Lester was falling back to Nashville. It was feared that Nashville would be attacked. In addition to the starting news from Tennessee, we have an account of Morgan's guerrilla force being within nine miles of Frakfort, Kentucky. The State archives were being re moved.

General Banks, in ac- cepting the position that has been ac- corded to him, proves his greatness of soul, and has won hosts of friends that he may be prouder of than if he wore the ermine of imperial power. It shows that his patriotism rises superior to self —that while he has a laudable ambi- tion to servo his country, that ambition is his slave, and not his master.

THE TRUE POLICY. Mayor Opdyke, in his admirable ad dress to the Common Council, has stated in language as clear as it is cogent, the policy which all patriotic men mast pursue in this crisis. When great dangers threaten the State, be says, all differences of party and opin- ion tnust be forgotten.; every local cit- izen must support the government, not only by his counsel and services, but by the generous confidence he reposes in the President and those by whom he executes his plans, and though we are at liberty to criticise freely the doings of public men, our chief concern should be to impart promptitude and vigor to the action of the government, and to assist in prosecuting the war with all the energy and all the instru- mentalities that the rules of civilized warfare justify. Now, we have our own opinions of Mr. Stanton, General McClellan and others, sometimes we have expressed them, and as the now think, impru- dently often; but we shall not allow our convictions as to their merits to betray us into controversies or quarrels. W hen the rebellion has been suppressed it will be time enough to settle our dif- ferences of opinion. What we want is earnest and decided action. Let us, with one accord, push on the govern, ment; let ns fill up the ranks of the army; and let us give every officer who does his duty, even when he does not do it precisely as we might wish, a hearty and generous support.—.V. Y. Evening Post. tqf Jeff. Davis says in his letter on the conscription law to Governor Brown, of Georgia: "At some future clay, after our in- dependence shall have been established, it is no improbable supposition that our present enemy may be tempted to abuse his moral power by depredations on our commerce, and that we may be - compelled to assert our rights by offen- sive war." Thus is afforded a glimpse of the future, should we fail to subjugate the rebels. They would, by aid of their conscriptions and other appliances of a military despotism, be a formidable and standing menace, and compel con- tinual and enormous expenditures of money, and the precious time of our laboring men, in self-defense. If we a,e ever again to enjoy the sense of security and the profits of peace in this country, it will bo after we have conquered the rebels. PROCLAMATION. STATE OF MINNESOTA, EXECUTIVE OFFICE, ST. PAUL, JULY 10, 1862. TO THE PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA. The President of the United States has, at the solicitation of the Gov- ernors of the loyal States, called upon the nation for a large increase of the Volunteer Force; and has by special communication, dated the4th instant, required of Minnesota tie Regiment of Infantry, to be furnished at once, as part of her entire quota. This call, based in part upon the suggestion of the Executive of our own State, and rendered imperatively necessary by the events of the war, must bo promptly and heartily re- sponded to. - The check recently received by our army before Richmond, has resulted, without doubt, from the superior nu►n• hers of the enemy; our army being compelled not only to meet the enemy wherever he presents himself, but to hold at the same time, the vast regions of country already won from him.— Without an increase of our forces, we cannot hope for a successful termina- tion of the war. The call of the President comes home to the heart of every man who desires to see the greatness of the peo- ple. Without a restored government, property, and life itself, will be valu• less. A11 classes must feel the terrible ne- cessity which presses upon them.— While we are struggling to preserve the unity of the best government on th i Anr Jnst before the sailing of the Arago, Capt. Charles E. Fuller, chief quartertnaster of the department of the South, was placed under arrest by General lIunter, and all the public property in his possession was turned over to Capt. J. I. Elwell, asistant quartermaster. It is said that Gen. lIunter is on the track of vast frauds in his department, or at least most wasteful and criminal extravagances, and it is said to be for his share in some contracts made with a very wealthy capitalist in New York that Capt. Fuller has been brought to grief. Gen. Hunter's resources have been pa- tiently y but persistently pursued, and he is now in a position to strike with ef- fecth at the nest of array jobbers and plunderers who•have heretofore pur- sued uninterruptedly their avocations at Hilton Head and the city of New York. DAKOTA 'l t iITOItY.—Mr. Parker, a gentleman from Lakeville, this county, has recently visited Dakota Territory, and travelled pretty extensively over it. From his conversation we should be impressed with the idea that he is not very favorably impressed with that re- gion. The soil he admits is good, but the high winds, which frequently swell into a hurricane, makes Dakota a peril- ous couutry to live in. Great numbers aro crowding into that Territory and almost as many are crowding out. We give this as the statement of an honest man in order that people mac' be deter- red from the expense and hardships at- tendant on a visit there. LH- While on the Peninsula the President had as accurate returns as possible made of the losses in the re- cent battles, but there are half a dozen stories as to what ,the actual footing was. The Washington Star, of the 12th, says the killed, wounded and missing in all the seven battles were reduced to 12,0(10. Flank Blair, who accompanied the President, says 10,000, while Senator Wilson was understood to say that the President told him 15,000. At any rate reinforcements now have far more than supplied all the losses. 0:r The State of Maryland has the high honor of being the first State in the Union to pay its proportion of the national direct tax.

IN MEMORIUM.—We learn from pri• vate letter that our young friend, JAMES DELoss HENRY, son of R. R. Henry, of Point Douglas, well and favorably known here, died in the service of his country, of Typhoid Fever, on board the Hospital boat, in the vicinity of Richmond, on the 3d of July. He was a member of Company H, First Minnesota, and at the time of his death was about 24 years of ' age. He had many friends and associates here, and won the esteem of his companions in arms. SHOOTING AFFAIR: —A difficulty oc- curred a few days ago, between two neighbors, at St. Paul, John Obesch and Christain Manning, residing near the half -.way house, on the Stillwater road, in which Obesch shot Manning with a shot gun, wounding him, it is thought, fatally.

Meetings should be held in every county. Wealth, energy, and ability should be devoted to the task of rous- ing the people to a sense of their present danger. The merchant, the farmer, and the manufacturer, must all understand, that unless this rebellion is speedily suppressed, their toil can profit them little;—that in a ruined country there can be no individual prosperity. Let the reinforcements which must speedily be thrown into the Peninsula. to turn the tide of battle and aid in the capture of the Rebel Capital, contain, at least one additional regiment from Minnesota. The recruits first obtained, under this call, will constitute the Sixth Reg- iment; all subsequent recruits, after that Regiment is tilled, will be used to complete Minnesota's quota of the force now called for by the President.

WHEAT.—Wheat comes in very slowly, and is sold readily at about 60 cents per bushel. Draper & Ballard have a quart. tity of excellent green fruit. Call on them at their store in Exchange Block. I i RASPBERRIES.-- Raspberries made t their appearance in this market. They are a delicious fruit and are very abun- st dant in this region. — g PKOLIFIC.—Mr. Parker, of Lakeville, 1 this county, has a heifer only fifteen t months old which has a fine calf. -- This is muitiplying and replenishing the earth pretty rapidly. CROPS.—The prospect is for a good average crop this season, but not extra as we anticipated a few days ago. The farmers are preparing thctuselves for the harvest, and in another week the work of the sickle will be heard secu- ring the golden grain. Ort' Gold is quoted at Milwaukee at from 6 to 8 per cent. premium. This shows that Wisconsin currency is not the best circulating medium that could be desired. Look out for the rotten stuff. IIASTINGS BRASS BAND.—We have frequently had the pleasure of' listening to this band, and in view of the fact that they have but little opportunity for practice we pronounce their per- formances very good. There is scarcely a festive occasion hereabouts that their musical strains do not enliven. lir Wo call publio attention to the advertisement of J. W. Pratt, else- where in this paper. Mr. Pratt has an assortment of cloths, dassirneres, &c., &c., which he snakes up in the most tasty and fashionable manner. NORWEGIANS OGMING.—The papere report four hundred Norwegians as passing Detroit a few days ago enroute for this State. A portion of them were landed at our levee a few days ago.— Norway seems to be pouring her popu- lation into this state, and an excellent class of inhabitants they snake. GOV. DONNF.LLY'S PROCLAMATIOM — We refer the reader to the proclama- ticn of Governor Donnelly calling for troops to fill up the quota of Minneso' ta, called for by the President to res duce the traitors against the Govern went to submission. We pronounce this a statesman-like document, doing credit to the head and heart of Mr. Donnelly; full of that patriotism that diracts, while it breathes the modesty of the suggestive. As State paper, t must be classed among the first of the age. Doubtless its requirements will be met with alacrity, and Minneso• a still maintain the proud distinction he has so nobly won, of cheerfully iving of her sparse population, her ruest men to contend for the glory of he old flag. SOCIAL (.1RCLE.—'I.hc Baptist Social Circle meets on Friday evening next at the residence of Rev. T. F. 'I'hickstuu, corner of eighth and Ramsey streets. A general invitation is extended. GoosinEnams—We have been pre seated by Mr. Sprague, of Niniuger township, with some of the finest gooseberries that ever grew, They were of the large English variety—as largo as a pt:tridge egg, and of delic- ious flavor. Bort I' oUND.—On Thursday last, Coroner Felton took from the river at this place the body of a man, supposed to have been drowned from the stearner Keokuk. No marks of violence were found upon his person, and therefore the verdict of the Coroner was, "came to his death by accidental drowning. SOMETHING NEW.—Our attention was called a few days ago, at the store of IV. J. Van Dyke, to a case of boots, novel in their make and furnish.— These boots differ from ordinary boots in having wooden soles tipped with iron, which the makers affirm are war- mer, more impregnable to water and more durable than the leather soles.— Upon first sight one would declare that it was impossible to wear them, but the facts sustain no such premises, as they are worn its this city and declared to be easy of locomotion. Persons are directed to the store of Mr. Van Dyke for the boots. THE UNION FAIR.—Mr. Editor: Ac- cording to previous notice, a meeting was held at Hampton on the 12th inst. for the purpose of making preliminary arrangement towards holding a Grand Union Fair, of Dakota and adjoining counties. H. Sprague was called to the chair, and J. G. Peck chosen Secretary . It was unanimously resolved that the citizens of 'Washington, Goodhue and Rice counties be cordially and earnestly solicited to co-operate with us in the contemplated Fait: RESOLVED,, That this invitation is not extended to any particular class; but, as the inhabitants of Minnesota is made ftp of a heterogeneous mass of every name and nation, all are invited. Ou motion of I. Heslet the Secretary was instincted to, correspond with prominent farmers of Washington, Goodhue, Rice and Dakota counties, asking them to represent our next meeting and solicit aid from the citi- zens of their respective counties. The Secretary was also ordered to transmit a copy of the proceedings of this meeting to the Hastings INDEPEN- DENT for publication.

Pr Loolts B.tn.—It looks bail to see torous i,osts nn.ler the statennrut that he is no worse than the abolitionists. It has ever been the paliating cry of the criminal "that I am not so bad as an- other one," and this excuse that North ern men make indicates, that they svm pathize with treason, and would seek to paliate it by the indiscriminate charge of abolitionism, Beware of such men, for a man that has the ifs and Guts as considerations of his loyal- ty, is dangerous to the welfare of his government. When we hear a man justify treason in this way it reminds us of the way the slenderer generally spits his venom. Here is an example, and we helive a parallel, that shows the loyalty of then who hide behind the wholesale charge of abolitionism. Mrs. P. is a beautiful woman, tasty in her dress, and lady -like in her manners, but then she is no better than she should be. Some men say, I support the administration, I honor old Abe, 1 am for supplying him with men and money to support the government, and punish traitors, but then he muzzles the press, he incarcerates in prison cit- izens without trial, he makes no war on abolitionism, &c. Does this not look bad? Is it not emphatically making the invidious charge of the slanderer that he is no be:ter than he should be There is but one course left for the loyal citizen in thee° times and that is to give the administration his unequivocal support. So shall the problem of the times be solved, and the United States reunited, and har- monious attain to the full fruition of uaticnal prosperity and greatness.

I would not therefore have the popular nomination for Con grecs made exclusively by those who have been known as Republicans, but would include all who are in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war, who refuse to be identified with the present party in Indiana represented by the State Convention of last January, and who, as the beat means of accom-- plishing their purpose, will sustain the Administration in the leading meas- ures of its policy. WHAT THIS CONGRESS HAS DONE.— "Sir," said Mr. Sumner, in closing Ids recent eloquent plea for confiscation in the Senate, "the present Congress has already done much beyond any other Congress in our history, to en- title it to the gratitude of the nation.— Measures which for long years seemed attainable only to the most sanguine hopes, have triumphed. Emancipation in the national capital; freedom in all the national Territories; the offer of ransom to help emancipation in the States; the recognition of Hat ti and Liberia; the treaty with Great Britain for the suppression of the slave trade; the prohibition of the return of fugi• tivo slaves by military officers; home- steads for actual settlers on the public lands; the Pacific railroad; endow- ments of agricultural colleges out of public lands; and last and best of all —the crowning measure of the session —the hill for the suppression of the rebellion, by punishing treason, freeing the slaves and confiscating the property of rebels.

The term of enlistments for which the militia will be called out is limited to nine months, and one month's pay and twenty-five dollars bounty paid in advance. The bil authorizes the President to receive nee groes into the service for constructing entrenchments, performing camp rervice or any other labor, or any military ser• vice fur which they may be found com- petent—to be enrolled and organized as the President may prescribe. It al- so declares free all slaves, including their families, who shall thus serve the government, except those belonging to loyal masters. fj r By a foreign arrival we learn that news of the Richmond battles had been received in England by the ststeam- erthat arrived out on the 10th.

Cctr The Boston Post says truly and loyally of the duty of citizens in this crisis: The pathway is as plain as a turn- pike It is to ignore questions touch- ing an administration of affairs, com- plaints in cabinet or field, and to urge the paramount duty, to raise, arm and equip tl e quota of the three hundred thousand men that falls to the lot of Boston.

FAIRBANKS' Sceees.—Weighed in the balance of a just criticism, all are obliged to admit that the scales of Fairbanks & Co. are, without excep- tion, the best ever invented. We know whereof we affirm, because we have tested their value, and are fully satisfi- ed of their superior merits, The intro- duction of these scales has wrought a revolution in the transaction of various business, and their accuracy is such that a uniformity in weights has been established all over the country, thus making them a national, legalized titan dard. Nor are they cofined to the Uni- ted States; they have found their way to almost every part of the civilized world, and are adapted to the standards of all countries, so that it may be said, all nations, if not "weighed in these balances," at (east weigh by them.— Hunt's Merchant's Magazine. tar Parson Brownlow's book, says the New York Independent, is one of the remarkable successee of literature.

To be assured of this, it is only necessary to make the trial The Wine itself is of a very superior quality, being about one third stroll - ger than other wines; warming and iiivigor sting the whole system from the- head to the feet. As these Bitters are tonic and altera- tive in their character, so they strengthen and invigorate the whole system and give a fine tone and healthy action to all its parts, by equalizing the circulation, removing ob- structions, and producing a general warmth. They are also excellent for diseases and weak - nes peculiar to Females, where a tonic is required to strengthen and brace the system. No lady, who is subject to lassi- tude and faintness, should be without them, as they are revivify in their action. THESE BITTERS Will not only Cure, but prevebt Disease and in this respect are doubly valuable to the persen who tnay use them.

As a Beverage, tney are wholesome, inno cent and delicious to the taste. They pro duce all the exhilerating effects of Brandy or Wine, without intoxicating; and are a valua- ble remedy for persons addicted to the use of excessive strong drink, and who wish to re • frain from it. They nre pure and entirely free from the poisons contained in theadulter- ated Wines and Liquors with wl,ich the country is flooded. These Bitters not only Cure, but Preveet Diseate, and should be ueed by ell who live in a country where the water is bad, or where Chills and Fevers are prevalent. Being en• tirely innocent and harmless, they may be given:ft:Rely to Children and infants with lin- punity.

Oun DAUGHTER —The greatest dan- ger to our daughters in the present time is the neglect of domestic educa- tion. Not only to themselves, but to husbands families, and the community at 1 urge, does the evil extend. By far the largest amount of happiness in civ- ilized life is found in the domestic re- lations, and most of these depend on the domestic culture and habits of the wife and mother. Let our daughters be intellectually educated as high as possible, let their moral and social na- ture receive the highest grace of vigor and refinement, but along with these, let the domestic virtues find a promi- nent place. We cannot say much about our daughters being hereafter wives and motleys, but we ought to think much of it, and give the thought prominence for their education. Good wives they cannot be, at least for men of intelli- gence without mental culture; good mothers they certainly cannot be with. out it, and more than this, they cannot be such wives as men need, unless they are good housekeepers, without a thor ough and practical training to that end Our daughters should be practically taught to bake, wash, sweep, cook, set table, and do everything appertaining to the order, neatness, economy and happiness of the household. All this they can learn as well as not, and bet- ter than not. It need not interfere in the least with their intellectual educa- tion, or with the highest degree of re- finement. On the contrary it would greatly contribute thereto. Only let that time which is worse than wasted in idleness, sauntering and gossip, friv- olous reading and various modern fe- male dissipations which kill time and health, be devoted to domestic duties and education, and our daughters wo,d soon be all that the high interests of society demand. A benign, elevating interest would go forth through all the families of the land. Health and hap- piness would now sparkle in many a lusterless eye, and bloom would return to beautify many a faded cheek, and doctor's bills would give way to bills of wholesome fare. Au exchange has the following, as an excellent system of gardening for ladies: Make up your beds early in the morning; sew buttons on your truss band's shirts; do not rake .up any griev- ances; protect the young and tender branches of your family; plant a smile of good temper in your face; and care fully root out alt angry feelings, and expect a goad -crop. of- happiaeds.' d' -'What is the German diet come posed of?'

The aubscribers now only ask a trial of Dr.I.Bovee Doll's Imperial Wine Bitters from all who have not used them. We chal lenge the world to produce their equal. These Bitters for the cure of Weak Stom- achs. General Debility, and for Purify ing and Enriching the Blood, are absolutely unsur- passed by any other remedy on earth. To be assured of this, it is only necessary to make the trial The Wine itself is of a very superior quality, being about one third stron- ger than other wines; warming and invigor, ging the whole system from the head to the feet. As these Bitters are tonic and altera- tive in their diameter, so they strengthen and invigorate the whole system and give a fine tone and healthy action to all its parts, by equalizing the circulation, removing ob- structions. and producing a geneml warmth. They are also excellent for diseases and weak. nes peculiar to Females, where a tonic is required to strengthen and brace the system. No lady, who is subject to lassi- tude and faintness, should be without them, as they are revivify in their action. THESE BITTERS Will not only Cure, bat prevent Diseace and in this respect are doubly valuable to the perscri who may use them.

They pro duce n11 the exhi lerati lig effects of Brandy or Wine, without intoxicating:and are a valua• ble remedy for persons addicted to the use of excessive strong drink, and who wish to re• frnin from it. They nre pure and entirely free from the poisons contained in the adulter- ated Wines and Liquors with wLich the country is flooded. These Bitters not only Cure, but Prevent Diseaee, and should be used by all who live 111 11 country where the water is bad, or where Chills and Fevers are prevalent Being en• titely innocent and hannless, they may be given freely to Children and infants with irn• punitv. - Physicians, Clergymen, and temperance advocates, as an net of humanity, should as- sist it, spreading these truly valuable BIT • TERS over the land, anti thereby essentially aid in banishing deinkenness and disease.

DEAR Lot: I received a copy of the INDEPENDENT from you last week —and I will take the liberty of se- knowleding my gratitude therefor, by sending you a home made epistle writ- ten by my own hand. I scarce recol- lect the last time that I looked upon that rubicund face of yours, but I ani pleased to know that neither time nor space has yet erased that friendship which long since existed between us. If, however, my memory serves me right, von and I last met in Columbus, Ind., when John U. Fremont was a candidate for President. We then spoke of the probability of his being elected, and of the consequent occur- rence ot such a state of affairs as new exist. If the firing on Fort 5urnter— the begining of the rebellion—fell up- on us like a clap of thunder. Still it was not entirely unlimited for. Had James Buchanan himself not been so deeply tinctured with secession syrnpa- thics, this rebellion, which has now as- sumed a magnitude so huge, might have (leen nipped in the bud, and nev- er lived to see the light. But in the program me of the world's history, it is probably necessary that such a state of things should exist, that the real Southern character may be fully developed. Let victory perch where it will, let the result of the re- beltion he what it may in its fin issue. —one thing is certain—the South will 1 IIAsTING, : ESOTA. f P.

In regard to affairs in Kentucky, as you may well imagine, there is is it good deal of excitement, since the ad- vent of John Mutgau and his thieving gang. As to appearances now howev er, the raid of that brigand will prove more disastrous to himself and follow- ers, aiders and abettors than to Iien- tucky or the Government. The Seces sionists of this State, throngtt whose influence no doubt this raid was set op foot, will feel the effects of it for many a day to come.

LANGLEY VAN AUKEN & LANGLEY, t�rng, $BtWflting and Commission Merchant., Between Ramaey and Tyler Streets, LRVER, U4STINGS, MINNESOTA, you please to call it. From the latest and best intelligence I have had, Mor- gan is now trying to get out of the State in "double quick." Ile is tnovs ing with an accelerated velocity toward the South, but I hope there are some well laid plans by which the rascal may be caught, and brought to justice. Tum and Jack both b:d faretvt•II to honor and virtue last fall and joined the rebel army. It is known that Torn is with the guerrillas in this State now, and there is little doubt that the other is also Meng with thein, as he is re ported wounded in the fight near Paris. I have spoken of these two men, as I believe yon are somewhat acquainted with them. There are so many rebel sympathize ers in this country, that I suppose they are of are groat assistance to a rebel army, and a great disadvantage to that of the government. It must he impos sible, almost, to keep them' front giv- ing intelligence of the numbers and movement ,,f our forses. I have not the least doubt that the rebel citizens of this State have had communication all the time with the Southern rebels. In fact, a few weekft previous to tht► pieet►_ ent raid. the ears of Union men were greeted with very ominoue speeches ot*. the Secessionists, such as .."they (the. Union men) will be waked np before' long—they will Soon see bights—they will know where Kentucky etsdlilllz"' Now these scoundrels, who have been protected' in 'their prepety` by the "Gov- ernment all the time? have been w iO,CO'f t cR' municat,ion , with . eff..Dnvis', minions, inviting and urging them.. to begin: a guerrilla warfare neon thoiie• elite kat4 never deeired to fake rl;,peuoyworth of property from them. But as thia at- tempt -9f th ire to pow•proving abort- ive, and is likely to fall . with a very heavy, weight on their own Wide. hey, ere no doubt deeply mortified and chagrined atilti nnsecediai tefmination If they are deteruoinedto leg the feol',� they should patiently endure the cones queues., It was the height of folly in them to suppose that a few bands of roving guerrillas conld drive the State of Kentucky from the firm stand which she has taken. Probably they imagin ed that as soon as their redoubtable knight, Sir John, should set foot upon the soil of the "Dark and Bloody ground," there would be a general up- rising in his favor—that thousands and thousands would marshal themselves under the folds of his dishonored and diegrseed flag I say dishonored and disgraced. And so it is:—for at their first entrance into this State, at Temp kinsville; in Monroe county, they bar- burously murdered a young lady mere ly because she would not prove traitor to her own party, and inform them in what direction the Union soldiers had gone. What success did those lawless freebooters, whose hands were stained with the blood of an innocent victim, suppose they could have in the civilized State of Kentucky? Their very first act, being characterized by a crime of so deep a dye, onght to consign them to the scorn and contempt of every honorable man. What a noble and chivalrous at my! What honorable Si Knights of the South! What a noble object they have in view! And how they do succeed therein—murder- ing women and stealing horses. The sympathizers here pretend to believe that Morgan does not interfere with private property, and that he carries on a legitimate warfare. But such is not the fact. He does interfere with pri- vate property. I could not swear to it myself, and declare it of my own know! edge—and I hope I may never have such knowledge of it—but I have had it from sources which seem to leave no doubt of the correctness of the chargee against him. I was informed on last Sunday by Mr. Stuart, of Shelbyville, a Presbyterian preacher, that the Rev. Mr. Hill, of Louisville; and formerly editor of the Presbyterian fl"rald, was at Danville at the time Morgan and his gang were there, When he was about to leave there and had called for his horse and buggy, the servant brought out his bogey with an old horse scarce- ly able to walk harnessed to it. He informed the "bey" that was not his horse—and ordered hits to take him hack and put his own horse in the boggy—"Lor bless you, masers, they'' —Morgan's men—"have taken your boss, an' won't lem me have him, you have to put up wid dis ole feller." 111r. Hill went himself to Morgan, and in• formed him that he was a preacher and a poor man and he hopod he wo'd permit him to retain his own horse.— Morgan rubbed his hands and bowed with French politeness declaring th tt he was sorry the boys had done so, but stating at the same time, it was too late now to help it, and he reckoned it would have to stay so. There are other incidences I have heard of, which go very plainly to prove that these ma- rauders pay no atten ion to the mean- ing of the little words metro and tuum I hope however that a brighter day will hereafter dawn upon our c.luntry. . May we not hope that the dark clouds which now overhang us, will ere long pass away, and that we will come out of this contest purified. strengthed and made wiser, and more prudent. We are right—and there is nothing but en- ergy and determination wanting to are rive at a happy issue. We should not despond under a few reverses, but with redoubled energy We should' conteed for the .maintenance of those sound principles w•hich,our fathers bestowed: upon us, and which by the blessing of God ,we shall, be- able ter protect and tp.iutain.

The following patriotic resolution were adopted at the Second Congress lonal District Convention, ou the 80t ultimo: Resolved, That we hereby submit t the candid, consideration ot all th electors of the Second Cong'essiona District of Minnesota, the followin sentiments and opinions; . ceesf ll or defeated I shall cherish with pride the recollection of this day; and should your choice be confirmed by the • voice ; of tbe people, I shall strive by h untiring industry to deserve the colifi- cence .you have reposed in me. I have read with attention the plat- e form of resolutions adopted by yon, and I n,•ed scarcely say that they meet with my heartiest concurrence. The g absence of all mere partisan sentiment in them is, it this time, to be particu- larly commended. As Republicans we need no re affirmance, no deence of our princi- ples. This war, in all its terrible fea- s tures, is the strongest testitnony to the wisdom of oar' opposition in the past to tho extentionof an institution.eapa- I ble of yielding such results. Any • other course on our part would but have prolonged the day of its expan- sion and power, to leave the nation eventually more cotnpletely and help lessly at its mercy. Nor must it be forgotten that if we, as a party, were prompt to resist at an early day, the extravagant demands of that institution, not less ready were our fellow citizens of the North to op pose those demands, when compliance with them implied the degradation of the great party to which they belonged. The tienistion from constitutional effort to armed rebellion was marked by the disorganization of the Charles- ton Convention. When both the Re- publican Harty and the Democratic par- ty of the North refused to obey the ex• treme demands of the slaveholders, 1 then, and not till then, was ivaurrec- tion organized. If to -day two parties are in the field it le because of the existence, among the people, of two phases of sentiment upon this war:—one, a determination to sustain the government and preserve the nnity of the nation, at all hazards and at all cost; the other, a desire to i regard any and all side issues as par- amount to the government and the t Union. Your organization to day is rendered imperatively necesst,ry by the existence of an organization, already in the field, whose announced platform is simply a bill of grievances and a catalogue of crime charged against [ the government in this the extremest hour of its peril. Yon cannot, as loy- al men, permit the nation to fall under the control of men w bo would place it, bound band and foot, at the mercy of its enemies. I am glad that you have spoken ont b Idly on the question of confiscation. There has been too much tenderness— s too much faltering and hesitating. Our 1 people have been elow to recognize the t magnitude and the desperate earnest- ness of :the rob, Ilion -slow to meet it t with an Neal earnestness. We must teach this generation and a all posterity that insurrection against a I just and beneficent government is the o most hideous of crimes, and deserves s the mist terrible of punishments.— t We must strip the olive branch of its 1 leaves and scourge these men back in o to obedience. Our gallant soldiers must no longer be used as a. municipal b police force to gua'd the property of p traitors. Where the wrath of, the na r tion falls it must fall as of old fell the n wrath of God, in fire and in ashes.— e We must make rebellion synytnnus o with desolation; and the track of our o armies must be as a shining track of t ruin. a We are engaged, Mr. President, in a b struggle for perpetual life on the one b bind, or individual subjugation and h degradation on the other. '!'dere is not e in all the ample page of history a sin- gle instance in which a victorious people halted with magnanimous spirit at the boundary line of a defeated nation and hesitated to impose spun it the bonds sad shackles of conquest Does any one dout the dark and unhappy char- acter of our future, should our man- hood prove unequal to this great trial 1 Before such a terrible possibility, who will dare talk of tenlerness and timidity!

AMERICANS IN LONDON. About two hundred Americans sat down to a banquet .at the Orystal Pal ace on the Fourth of July. The citi- zens of the United States who found themselves stranded in London united in the observance of the national an- niversary with a fervor and zeal that could.have been no greater on Ameri- cau soil; party lines were obliterated, politics were completely out of sight, the government was upheld, the war supported, and treason and rebellion denounced as heartily as the men who sat under the shadow of ;he old flag knew how to do it. TRE SPEECHES. The letters having been read, the first toast was given, in honor of Pres- ident Lincoln, and an English clergy-- man, lergyman, Rev. J. H. Rylance, responded in a neat little speech. Among other things he sail: The foundation of your capital rests for the first time in soil consecrated to iberty; and territory now or hearafter belonging to the government is declared now and forever free. If England Wishes testimony of the right feeling existing at Washington, what does she need more than the treaty for the sup- preseion of the slave trade? [Hear. hoar.] These are facts which ought not to he ignored, nor should the time le delayed which is tci bring forth something more than promises, seeing hat this sttuggle tends hath to hu- manity and liberty. Truly this re- cognition by England of tier deep, earuest, warm, cordial sympathy for those who are carrying on this strag- gle should not longer bo deferred.— Loud and prolonged cheers ] l'ho following passage of a speech ty Rev. Mr. Kittridge, of Charlestown, Musa.. prodnced a narked effect: Never shall I forget my emotions when standing on the balcony of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in the city of New York, with thousands below me tretching as far as the eye could reach, heard at the hour of midnight the read of Machusetts Hien marching, the first battallion to the field of battle— 'air hands waved their tokens of affec- ion—old nen clasped them in their erns and blest thein, while from every ip rose the sheet. "God bless Id Massachusetts!" That scene has ince been repeated in every city and own throughout out land, as from laine to the fartl:e t log built village f the West, pan tot men have been marching on, net only to Washington, ut to v ctory. Do you asst for the roofs of their bravery?

THE HASTINGS INDEPENDENT "MY -COUNTRY RIGIIT; BUT RiGIIT OR WRONG, JIY COUNTRY." HASTINGS, MINNESOTA, AUGUST 7, : : : I81-;2 C. STEBBINS, Editor. FOR CONGRESS IGNATIUS DONNELLY, OF DAKOTA COUNTY. HON. IGNATIUS DONNELLY. It is with great gratification that we announce that our distinguished fellow citizen, Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, has received the Republican nomination as the candidate for Congress in this Dis trict. We regret that the position in which he places himself is a partisan one, though we believe that his inde- pendence of character, and appreciative sense of justice, will ennoble Lim to THE CONVENTION. 1 We refer our readers to our first page for the resolutions passed at the Con- vention at St. Paul, on the 30th of Ju- ly. It will be seen that they are emi- nently patriotic though rather wordy, and the writer must have the credit of being sincere, while the opportunity to display his rhetoric, was so much as to overcome what wo consider the other- wise good sense of the author. We consider them an im partial statement of the causes that led to our present troubles, the objects on the part of the Government in calling the arm- ies into the field, and breathes the spir- it of the patriot in their expression of determination never to cease in their exertions for the Union and the Con- stitution, until the Laws shall be re- spected and obeyed in all the territory of the United States, and the old flag honored and revered shall again float in triumph over land and sea. They are scrupulous to maintain the honor and integrity of the Adminis- tration, encouraging, strengthening and commending the acts of the President, and in this they are in strong contrast with the Resolutions of the 2d of July DRAFTING. We believe in drafting. as the true system for filling up tho ranks. of the army. We all owe allegiance to the Government; it protects ns in life and property, and our life and property re- ceiving such protection, they are at the service of the Nation in her hours of trial. We have failed to find the man so lost to patriotism, so destitute of ap- preciation of his duties es a citizen, as not to acknowledge the above proposi- tion. We bold our treasure and our lives subject to the will of the Govern- ment, and when the test comes, few in- deed will be the men but what will spring with alacrity to arms in support of Republican America and her free institutions. The volunteer system is the free out- pouring of a people, but we cannot say that with a draft it would be any the less free. Every man is impressed with the duties he owes his family, and these operate on different men in a dif- ferent manner. One man may sever family ties, while another will reluct- antly leave the enjoyments, and re— sponsiblities of home for the field of glory. But every man must recognize that next to his duty to his God is that of Country, and when the draft marks him as the soldier of the Government his line of duty is marked out, and ev- ery other consideration gives way be- fore it. We cannot see the hardship of drafting, and could we, justice wo'd lead us to sanctiou that system. The last resort of•the Government— to fill tip the ranks of its armies is the drafting system. It recognizes the idea that every man owes service, and shifts not the responsibility as does volunteering. For ourself, until the draft indicates that we are the mart, we shall probably not bear arms in our country's cause, because until then we the distinguished position of the rep- Convention, wraith makes covert at- resentative of the entire people of his tacks upon the powers of the Govern - District irrespective of party lines or ment, almost throughout their entire party names. To say that we are pleased that he is placed in a position that gives us the opportunity of demonstrating our ap- preciation of his wisdom, patriotism and sagacity, is but a feeble expression of the entire confidence we have in his legislative ability. We have known length. We give these resolutions our deci- ded and emphatic endorsal. They are the overflowing ebulitions of the patri- otic heart of the State, and whenever there is a man, whose whole heart is in his conntry'e cause he will find ex- pression fur his feelings in the resoln- him for year and known him well— tion.i of the Convention of July 30th as the social companion, the private' The manifest opposition of the Con - citizen, or the public officer, wo have vention to retaining a distinct partisan ever found him earnest, faithful, vier- i character is highly commendable, and lent and capable. !shows that those composing it, in this The Convention nominated him our hour of trial, recognize higher without.a d:ssentiug voice, and doing so aims and ambitions than those it bnt reflected the great heart of the people of the District, who have seen and known him, to hold his qualities of mind and heart in the highest esti- mation.

THE NtURFREESBORO SURREN• DER. The New York Tribune of the 28th of July, has an account of the Mur- freesboro surrender. After narrating the incidents of the fight and surrender, the correspondent writes to the 'Tribune, in regard to where the blame should rest and gives some particulars of the march to McMinnville and the kind treatment received from the rebels: usually embraced within the pale of party discipline. We are gratified with this as it is an endorsal of our course last year, and shows that altho late in acknowledging it, politicians feel the pressure of the people, and know tht,t all partisan considerations are being leveled before the mighty question "Wave we a Government!" Again the harmony of the Conven IIe is a young man, not yet having tion was most flattering, as showing reached the full vigor of his manhood, that those disgraceful struggles for of - nor the zenith of intellectual power, of flee that have so many times made which the future will prove that his these assemblages A hissing and re- present is but the eomprel.ensive base preach in the eyes of decent men, were upon which his mental and moral worth shall tower. Upon many questions of public im- portance we have widely differed from Mr. Donnelly, among which is the one just now before us, and which is being rapidly demonstrated by the American people, that of the obliteration of party lines, and which the Convention which nominated Mr. Donnelly has decided in our favor, iu all save the relinquish- ment of the name. We account for this upon the principle that Mr. Don- nelly's field of operation has been a _ _ practical one while ours has been a A MOVEMENT AT HAND.—The New purely theoretical one—ho has been 1 York Express says the Union army, slow to admit our theory, but having '' under McClellan, will soon snake an - among the things that were. Govern- or Donnelly was nominated by acclama- tion, and in this it was but the expres sion of the popular mind finding its voice through the delegates in Conven• tion. The unanimous expresssion of the Convention is significant. It indicates what will be the verdict of the people, when in their majesty they shall con- sign to infamy and disgrace tbo resolu- tions of the so called Democracy, their candidate, and their entire sympathies. to deal with men and things he play have been more of laborer in this work and less of a theorizer than we give him credit for. As the representative of this people in Congress, wo have every confidence in his worth and wisdom, and believe that the true interests of the District, the State and the Nation have in him a zealous advocate and an able friend. We shall support him not as a par- tisan, but as a man knowing of what we speak, and when the ides of Octo• ber shall have passed we believe that it will be found that the people have ad- ded but another to the many tokens of confidence and esteem already given of the distinguished public services of Ilon. Ignatius Donnelly. IT 18 A LIE.—Some newspaper para- graphs have fallen under our observa- tion that convoy the idea that the stal- wart men who are willing to enlist in the Government service, make their loyalty contingent upon the President's policy for conducting the war. This is an infamous libel upon the Leval heart of the nation, and nothing but a nar- row bigot with secession or abolition proclivities could have been its author. The American people on every occasion, and under all circumstances, whenever they had an opportunity of speaking, have cheerfully offered the last man, and their entire treasure, for the sup- pression of the rebellion, and this too, without any reservations or proviso. The' loyal citizen is unconditionally for the Union, believing that the wis- dom of the administration is competent to the work before it, therefore when we hear a man say that loyal men are unwilling to bear arm in support of the Government, unless this or that policy is adopted we pronornce him a liar, and either a secessionist or an abolition- ist. Kr Gov. Sprague, of Rhode Island has called for a colored regiment from that State. He will lead them. Col. Lester having been in com- mand of the brigade for several weeks previous, it was through his orders that the force was divided; but whether, in this he was going on his own respon- sibility, or according to orders, no one knows. Neither can I say whether it would have been proper, in absence of orders from Gen. Crittenden, for him to join his regiment and the battery to the Michigan regiment. So, whether it was Col. Lester who made the blun• der, or not, is a matter which nothing but himself and the immutable princi- ples of "red tape" can settle. After the surrender, we were allowed to get any personal property we wished from camp. Then we fell in and marched off. There was no parade.— Everything was done quietly, as if with a view to save our feelings. The nec- essary guards came in one by one, and we marched along in silence. The first night we marched ten miles, the first day thirty further, the second were paroled, the fifth we marched to Nashville, and eat the first we had eaten since the surrender, except through the gratuity of citizens. The force of the enemy consisted of the celebrated Texan Rangers, two reg- iments of Georgia Cavalry, and a bat- talion of Keutucky troops; in all, about 2,000 strong. Nothing could exceed the consideration shown us by these Rangers. They endeavored to "sink the shop," and succeeded very well. They habitually divided all ead- ibles and drinkables with us, and I knew of frequent cases where they walked and allowed tired prisoners to ride. Having one disagreeable error thus corrected, formed the sole agreea- ble feature of our capture. It seemed at once strange and pleasant to see these "far -down South -Westerns" jog - other important movement, The plan, it is said, has been arranged, and should no unreasonable accident occur, early and fruitful success may be confidently looked for. Then, and not till then, will we know why Burnside's an Ste- vens' troops are stopping at Newport News, and why civilians are not per- mitted to ascend the James river at present. Henceforth, however, there is to be harmony as well as strategy evinced in the conduct of the war, and when one portion moves, no support- ing column will be 'permuted to re- main stationary. DRAFTING, -10 case a draft is resort ed to by the Government, the fines and penalties for the nonappearance, on muster call, of the drafted man—the law making him a deserter if he does not appear—hold him to a very rigid account. There is no escape from a draft; its requirements must be coin - plied with, or the penalties, which are very severe, must be met. To avoid these unpleasant results and to fill up the army, which needs re cruits, very liberal bounties are offered to volunteers. But the men who do not volunteer will lose these bounties. THE UNION FAIR. At an adjourned meeting held at Hampton on the 26th of July, for the purpose of making further arrange- ments for the Fair. Martin ;Poor was called to the chair, and J. G. Peck appointed Secretary. On motion of A. Barton it was de- cided to hold a UNION FAIR, com- posed of the citizens of Washington, Rice, Goodhue, and Dakota counties. On montion of W, P. Scofield it was unanimously resolved to hold the FAIR at Archer's Hotel, in Hampton, Dakota county, on the 11th and 12th of September 186.2. Mr. Barton moved that we proceed to elect our officers. Accordingly the following gentlemen were chosen, viz: President, Henry Sprague. Vice Presidents for Rice county, A. Barton' Joseph Ford, Mr. House and Mr - Thorpe; for Goodhue county, P. S. Fish, H. A. Tanner; and S . Vinton; for Dakota county, C. J. Cooper, Jae. Archer, and I. Heslet; for Washing- ton county, Mr. Rhodes of Cotage Grove, Mr. Hone of Point Douglas, and Mr. Atkins of Red Rock. Mar. tin Poor, Treasurer, and J. G. Peck, Secretary. G.1 W. Tew and Wm. Jones, Marshalls. Executive Committe, James Archer, Uhairman; J. S. Heselton, Elery Stone. 0. S. Taylor, G. W. Moody, Wm.' P. Scofield, A. Barton, J. D. Wheat, N. Daniels and Porter Martin. The above committee is hereby noti- fied to meet at Archer's Hotel on the 23d day of Anguet, to make out a premium list and appoint Judges RESOLVED, That we invite J. W. Paxton of Randolph, Dakota county to deliver the oration. RESOLVED, That we adopt the Union Constitution which was used at Can- non Falls in 1861, for our rules and regulations. RESOLVED, That we constitute a committee of the whole to solicit pat- ronage, and aid in completing all nec- essary arrangements FOR A FIRST. RATE FAIR. The Secretary was instructed to transmit a copy of the proceedings of this meeting to the Hastings INDEPEN DENT for publication, and request the Conserver, St. Paul Press, Red Wing and Faribault papers to publish the same. On motion the meeting adjourned sine die. JAMES G. PECK, Sec. do not knots that we aro the man. We { ging along by :he wagons—which were are too liable to look around us and say that this or that man can go better than we can, when perhaps his reasons for declining to respond to the call for volunteers is as valid as our own. The probabilities are that the quota of Minnesota under the recent call of the President will be filled up under the volunee,ing system, but there is no assurance that another call will not follow this, and the time may come when the immediate presence of men may bo of immense importance. To meet such a state of facts every man capable of bearing arms in this State, in all the loyal States, should at once be enrolled, and in case a call for troops, instead of the delays attendant upon the volunteering system, the draft should indicate who is to go, and two or three days instead of weeks and months find him on his way to the field of duty. lar Gov. Pierpont of Virginia, in a letter declining to attend the Union mass meeting in New York, says: The question is: Shall Slavery or Freedom be universal/ There is no concealing it. This is the issue. The rebels presented and forced it upon the nation. We have accepted, and it is to be tried at the point of the beyocet and the muzzle of the cannon; and were it not for the traitors in our midst, the verdict of Freedom would be rend- ered in three months. Every device that the devil can invent and put into the heads of traitors seems to be brongbt forward to keep men out of the field, and to paralyze the arras of those already there. These traitors are tolerated in high and low places. It is the grasp of their hands now upon the body politic that part ally paralyzes our strength. Jr4-The news of the battles before Richmond created great excitement in England, and a motion was made in Parliament for a proffer of meditation, which was subsequently withdrawn at the earnest request of Lord Palmerston He urged those who favored the mo- tion to,leave the whole matter in the hands of the government, but did not indicate what course the government would take upon the subject. He ex- pressed the opinion that the war could result in nothing but the separation of rho South. This seems to be the pre- vailing sentiment of the government and people of England. The govern- ment appears to be firm in its resolu- tion of noninterference in the contest, but the reluctance to allow a vote on the motion for meditation is indicative of the fear that the measure would be carried in the House of Commons against the mieistry. The lying tcle- grams of the Baltimore rebels, about our reverses, were greedily swallowed by the British public. THE TEXAN UNIONIST'.—The Wash- ington corresdondence of the Philadel• phia Inquirer states that the President and War Department are employed upon a new military programme, and adds: A delegation of Union men from the State of Texas is here, trying to induce the Government to send a force imme- diately to that State. The delegation is composed of lending men of Texas, and they represent a large body of Un- ion citizens who have organized a se- cret Union League, which extends to every department of the State. From their representations the loyalty of a majority of the people of Texas can- not be doubted, and they say that the Union feeling is increasing, and that all they want :is a sufficient national force to give the people an opportunity to rise, when they will sustain them- selves. appropriated to our use on the second day—and talking pleasantly about clops, "and all that," as if they were old friends end neighbors, instead of inveterate enemies. ANir Brigadier General John A. Los gan, in command at Jackson, Tennes- see, where the first rebel flag was raised after the secession of Sontb Car- olina, has ordeied every male citizen of the place over eighteen years of age, to take the oath of allegiance to the United States. Two prominent men refused to coasply with the order, and were seat Nortb to spend the remaind- er of the summer in a solitary prison, THE LATEST NEWS. Aside from tl a stirring and gratify- ing news of an order for a draft of `THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORS,' we have news that Gen. McClellan has crosed fifteen thousand risen of Gen. Porter's famous fighting corps to the south side of James river. Gen. Burnside has embarked, and sent to an unrevealed destination one division of his corps, and is embarking the rest. There appears to be evidence con- firmatory of the reports that the enemy has evacuated Richmond and taken up position for the defence of the city where they expect the attack.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. £ 'The New York Times publishes the first authentic exhibit that has been made of the present strength of the A merican Navy, and the exhibit is a startling one. We have now nearly Three hundred vess-ls of war, most of which are propelled by steam, two iron clad frigates and twenty-three gun- boats. Only twenty months ago our navy consisted of but eighty-three vessels of war, one-third of which were steamers; within the past year we have construct- ed neatly as many vessels as the entire number of ships on the Naval Register of 1861. Than we had but 8,000 sailors and marines. Now we have over 23,000. The exhibit also shows that while all these vessels, with the exception of the iron clad frigates, are afloat, and so many are ongaged in the blockade, the American flag is still represented abroad. The Mediterranean Squadron has 830 man and 53 gens. The Pacific Squadron is composed of eight first class war vessels (1,670) men. And our interests at Brazil and in the East Indies are still looked af- ter, by vessels of war. p- Col. Charles of the Tammany regiment, released by the rebels, is in New York. He saw the iron clad ram and also a small gunboat at Richmond, and gives a description of the former. The rebel government treat our wound- ed as their own. The rebel officers ad- mitted that their own and our wound- ed were dying so fast that they could not bury them. Col. Charles Bays the working classes of Richmond are Union at heart, but the despotism of the gov ernment prohibits the discussion of politica except on the newspapers.— Government was disposed to view the execution of Mumford at New Orleans as a murder, and make the demand for Butler, and in case of refusal, to hang Gen. McCall. GEN. VIELE ON SLAVERY.—We take the following from a Norfolk letter, published in the New York .Express: "Slavery is abolishing itself. The negroes are coming in—sometimes fifty a day—leaving the crops nngathered. Gen. Viele is run down with women pleading for their runaway negroes.— One delicate Lady showed him her hands, burnt with work, to which they were unaccustomed, as all the negroes had left her, with no other reaouroe.— He kindly and courteously tells them that the South has abrogated the civil law, and military law knows no differ- ence of color. This settles the ques- tion. It is the simplest solution I have yet seen. Jeff. Davis is responsible for the consequences to them, as indi. viduala.". Mr The rebel iron clad gunboats, or rams, built at Richmond, of which we nave heard so often lately, made their appearance on Thursday, at Turkey Bend, $ few miles above McClellan's army. The Monitor and other vessels of our James river fleet prepared to re. wive them, but up to latent account there had bead no engagement. GARDEN CITY HOUSE, Sibley Street, between Second and Third, HASTINGS, MINNESOTA, E. P. BROWN, PROPRIETOR. S./1r. The Charleston Courier's Western correspondent says the people aro burning their cotton almost every- where along the river, and far back in the country. One widow who had al- most 800 bales, had set fire to it and burned every bale. When told before- hand that there was no Clanger for her, she replied that she felt anxious and uneasy in having it around her. Even in Texas, asserts the same writer, every man has his cotton so stored as to be able to apply the torch when necessary. Some had their bales piled on founda- tions of light wood. MORTGAGE SALE.

So -The spirit of an editorial in the last London Times is in this sentence: 'The whole difference betwen the two belligerents is that the South is thors ougbly in earnest and fights as for life and death. This makes up for want of food, of arms, of medicines, of all that makes war easy. As long as this res- olution lasts, and several millions of people are in arms to resist subjuga- tion, so long must the efforts of the North meet with the failure which ham thus far attended the Virginian cams paign of 1862." Kr An important interview between certain thio State officials and Gen. Halleck, discloses the gratifying facts that on the negro question Gen. Hal- leck stands where nine -tenths of the loyal people stand, in favor of confis- cating the property and slaves of reb- els and using negroes against the ene- my. Such have always, he declares, been hie views. O- Pennsylvania and Illinois have ordered an enrollment of all able bod- ied men between 18 and 45 years, so as to be ready for any emergency.— This action is the certain precursor of drafting in those States.

En• gland's bulwark was her navy --her y -her tower her men of war. Cromwell•s navigation laws have always been ished by England's monarchs -the Stuarts, the Tudors, the Georges and the Victories.

Our Duponts and Porters and Wordens and Farraguts are worthy successors of Decatura, Paul Jones, Bainbridgee, Lawrences, Per- and Porters. Hurrah for the American navy! A change is on the world -America has toadied England long enough -our people, thank God, at last are emancipated. England P g nd can no longer irritate us. Hail to our gal- !ant navy! Our people must pass a law compelling every merchant,ehip to take from five to ten apprentices. Let them wear the navy buttons --the cap• tain must be responsible, and the ship owner must pay the bills. We want a militia of the seas. (Cheers.) Our eailore must be on the ocean what our volunteers are on the land. We must have a navy. Our improvised gun- boats have earned in co-operation with the Army of the Constitution, immor- tel fame.

Some time ago there lived in Edina- burgh a well known grumbler named Sandy Black, whose often recurring fila of spleen or indigestion produced some amusing scenes of senseless iritability, which were highly relished by all ex- the brute's good patient little wife. One morning Sandy arose bent on a quarrel; the haddies and eggs were ex- cellent, done to a tune, and had been ordered by himself the previous even- ing; and breakfast passed without the looked for cause of complaint. "What will you have for dinner, Sandy?' said Mrs. Black. `A chicken, madam,' said the bus- band. 'Roast or boiled?' asked the wife, `Confound it, madam, if you had been a good and considerate wife, you'd have known before this what I liked,+, Sandy growled out, and, slamming the door behind him, left the house.8 It was in the spring, and a friend who 'Sandy'svee present heard the little wife say, bent on a disturbance to -day; I shall not please him, do what I can.' the dinner time came,and Sandy and hie friend eat down to dinner, the fish was eaten in silence, and, on raise in the cover of the dishwith g before him, in a towering passion ho called out chicken! I hate it madam. ' Immediately the cover was raised Y another chicken, roasted to s turn. 'Malum, I won't eat roast chicken,' roared Sandy; 'you know how it should have been cooked!' the instant a broiled chicken, with mnshrona, was placed on the ta- hie, greenpeas!'roared the g rumbler. 'Here they are, dear,'said Mrs. 'Flow dare on spend m move to Y P y y that we ?' Y `They were a present,' said the wife, interrupting him. Risingfrom his chair and rushing g from the room, adroiat a roar of laugh g ter from his friend he clenched his fist and shouted, 'How darnyou receive a resent without m leave!'

No -it is not there, but a treacherous inkstand was,markers. the contents whereof, by one unlucky sweep of the elbow, descended in an shoo cataract over his shirt bosom- the shirt bosom on which alone he had depended.

Let me see there is that money I promised to pay Smith- son to -day, and-' He stopped short, a cold dew of dis- may breaking out on his forehead -the money drawer was a fixture of the wretched sECRETARIE! Penniless, shirtless and paper -less, what more desperate state of affairs could his worst enemy desire for him? There was a lower deeper yet, however, -would he not be characterless, like - wise if hie wife should by any oppor- tune chance discover that he, the model of rale and order, had lost his key. 'If ever 1 tease Cora again, about losing things, he muttered inwardly, as he entered the tea-room on return- ing home, I hoped to be drowned with an hundred weight of keys about my neck! It's a judgment upon me!' He unbuttoned his coat when he spoke, forgetful of the ink stamps of the morning. Cora uttered a faint scream,and shrank back,exclaiming;gave 'My dear Phillip, what is the matter with our shirt bosom to-night?'and Y g 'The matter! Oh!

'No, no,' said he, eagerly detaining her; it isn't at all worth while. Do sit down and be easy my love! Bet Cora started to carry her baby up to the nnrt►ery.

STEBBINS, Editor. FOR COMPRESS I'GNr TIUS DONNELLY, OF DAKOTA COUNTY. DISGRACEFUL.—Major Cullen has grown thoroughly desperate, and in his insanity makes propositions to Mr. Donnelly, which are insulting to that gentleman as well as the people of the the District. His proposition is simply this, that himself and Governor Don- nelly enter the reeks as private sol- dier,, eulisted for the war—neither to seek for or accept any position. In case of the election of either, the s,te- cessful candidate is to take his place in Ccngress, tho other to solve on in the ranks until the close of the war. This proposition is insulting to Gov. Donnelly as iwplying a doubt of his loyalty; insultinv to the people of the District, as trifling wi h their suffiagee. This District is entitled to a delegate in Congress, and the people will ex- press their choice as to who shall serve them in that capacity—either Mr. Dun- nelly or Major Cullen will be elected such representative in Congress, but if they are both in tho ranks, how i, either to serve in that capacity, with- out establishing a precedeut, at once dangerous and inimical to the disci- pline of On artily? From the ranks no man is dis- charged except fur valid cause, and be- cause he is elected to office is nut coo• sidered such, and Major Cullen either looks to insubordination or f•tvoritism if be even hopes to serve in Congress after he has once entered the ranks. instead of being an element of strength to Major Cullen before the people, this proposition of his ought to have the opposite effect. • In those titnes earnest, and frtught with momentous consequences, the it:an who would stoop to such disgraceful pettifoggery is un- worthy the support of intelligent men. No, Major Cullen, when you quib- ble as you do in your card of chal- lenge to Mr. Donnelly, you have con- vinced us that yourself as well as your platform is unworthy of the support of loyal wen. A SUGGESTION ANDA QUERY.—It 18 pity that every man can't be President, on his own hook, just so that he might manage his own utilitary affairs in his own way, subject to no restriction but his owu will, and that of his adversa- ry. But, as that is an impossibility in the nature of things, we suppose that we shall have to submit. to the military management of the President that is, and those associated with him in au- thority. And, as we are thus obliged to submit to the President's manage meat, and can't very well help ourselves wouldn't it be quite as well to submit cheerfully, and hope for the best, as to submit blindly, and predict the worst? Now, it is reported that the Presi- dent, has definitely and finally refused to enroll Africans into the ranks of the army and put arms into their hands, as soldiers; and numbers of our people eau see nothing to wage the war for, under such a decision, and predict nothing but disaster, and the judgement of God upon the country, on account of it. We throw out the suggestion and query of the first paragraph, for the consideration of all such. CREDIT FOR VOLUNTEERS.—III a General Order, issued from the Depart- ment at St. Paul on the 12th inst., no- tice is given, that, if allowed so to do by the War Department, the Execue tive will have each couuty and town- ship in the State, charged with its proportion of the ratio of the force ale ready raised, or now ordered to be raised in the State, and credited with the Dumber of recruits already furnish, ed by it, and required to furnish the balance by volunteeriug, or by draft, if they cannot betaised by volunteer- ing. Thu justness of this position, no one will dispute, but there may be some difficulty in executing it. In Wiscon- sin and Ohio, and perhaps other States, coutoies have been credited, by permis- sion of the War Department, with the number of troops voluntarily raised, under the. previous calls, but we know of no preansient for township credits. iter'llse loyalty of the German's in St. Louis is praiseworthy. In no case, says the News, has a German who has fixed his domicil in St. Louis, songht refuge under any other flag. None Lase bought comfiuttes of protection BLUFF (Gats —We notice that the St. Cloud Union, the home organ of Major Cullen, after stating that that gentleman had pledged himeelf to pay $100 to the first ten men raised in. St. Cloud, attempts the bluff game by say- ing that be expects Governot Donnelly to make a like contribution when he addresses the good people of St. Cloud Now we have just this to say, that Ma- jor Cullen, through his organ, boasts of his mouey, and attempts to drive ML. Donnelly before him because fortune has lavished her treasures upon him. -- Mr. Donnelly is a poor man, freak from the people, and one ot them, and is wofully deficient in the money arg- ument, which we have heard from the first Major Cullen considered his strong element of success. It is not to 6e ex- pected that a prior roan can contribute as liberally as a rich one. Let the people remember that Major Cullen flourishes his gold in their faces for the purpose of dazzling them into his support. FROM ABROAD.—Sometimes it is possible to learn the news by going away from home. The Toronto Lead• er, for instance, lays down a program - itis of operations for our armies which may have more truth in it than at first , sight seems probable. It gives Goner al M.;Clellau 115,000 men, Gen. Burn side, 23, 000, and Gen. Pope 100,000. To meet the latter, the Confederates have at Gordonsville 48,000 or 50,000 men ander Jackson, Ewell, Hill anti Longstreet; aiel this is the programme which the Leader sketches for the third grand attempt to capture Richmond: Gen. McClellan will land forces on the south bank of the river and attack the forts by land, while a vigorous attack will be made on the water by the iron - vied fleet under Wilkes. Gen. Pope will advance toward Richmond via Gordonsville, and General Burnside will hold himself in readiness to oo- operato with McC ellan or Pope, by landing near Fredericksburg, and "marching on to Richmond," Six IIUNDRED 'l'llJUSAND sides the the army already iu the field, the Governnient has called for six hundred thousand mon, which may be increased largely within the next two months.— TI is shows that the Government has determined to throw an overwhelming force in the field, and subjugate the rebel States this winter. It can be done in our opinion, and we believe that the people stand ready with all their means, and every man to respond to the call of the President. The Ad- ministration need have no hesitancy in snaking its drafts upon the people, they will all bo honored, and that cheerfully. No NEGROES To BEAR Anals.—The President has shown his good sense in refusing to arm negroes, and place them in the ranks ot the Federal army. The negroes as a race of people are cowards, and to arm them is to place an element of weakness in the army that may produce the worst results. This is emphatically the white man's war, and if it is not fought out by them, it will be barren in its results. The free- men of America roust convince the world that their Government—the Gov- ernment of the people—is not only a wise but a strong ono. - Major Cullen seems to think that he is persecuted because we call his platform treasonable. If the plat- form of the second of July is the ex ponent of his individual views, in the sense that Valandingbam means it, then wo think him a traitor, but we we have said before now, that men was deceived into the support of that plat• form, and Major Cullen may be one of them—if so, wo acquit him of wilful treascn, while we most say that in hie ignorance he supports the enemies of his Government. We would like it if Major Cullen was running on sone other platform, because we want the suffrages of Min- nesota to be unmistakably for the Gov- ernment, the Union, and the honor of the old flag. THE RESTRICTION.—Many amusing scenes are witnessed on our levee in consequence of the order prohibiting citizens from leaving their county or State. All at once a great many per- sons have been been seized with an al- most overweening desire to go East, but the order falls on them like a clap of thunder, and they find that their free locomotion is restricted. Tbis works in some cases an inconvenience, but' all cordially endorse the action hoping that in a few days the order will be so understood as not to interfere with the business of the country. • Uuder the order from the war department everybody, within certain ages --without reference to his physical condition—will be subject to draft' If, after they have been drafted they. are found to be disabled, they will be exempted. People, therefore, who run to their physicians to get certificates of physical unfitness to "ohoulder arms,' hum their cumulates. waste their time and breath in vein. UNDER MARTIAL Law. --The whole country is ander martial law, and every man is limited to his own county.— This works inconvenience to those who ire traveling on business or pleasure. Merchants who had contemplated going East about this time. all at once find their way blockaded, and the'trew goods that they had expected to bring atill remain in the cases at the great centres of commerce. This works an inconvenience, but the patriotism of the pe )ple rises superior to considerations of personal conven. ince or interest, and the order is re- ceived cheerfully and obeyel willingly. There has been some arrests here in consequence of a few who could not undcrstaud the order attempting to leave the county, but this has not been from a disposition to disobey the law. 07';The correspondent of the Mo• bile Advertiser and Ilerjtld says that Hon. Mr. Wickliffe, the Union member of Congress from Kentucky, has been totally deserted by his family. One of his sons, Col. Wickliffe, commands the 5th Kentucky regiment, in the Confederate army; ano'her son, Bob. Wickliffe, ex -governor of Louisiana, with his two nephews, also joined the rebel standard. .Another one, Col. Chas. Wickliffe, who WAS killed at Shiloh, and Capt. Nat. Wickliffe, who was aid to Gen. A. Sidney Johnston, and who is still in the setvi;.e. Even his wife has declared that she will not aide with him, and she would never again crus the Ohio; and both of his daughters, Itlrs. Judge Merrick, form• crly of Washington, D. C., and Mrs. Senator Ynlee, of Florida, have also left him. 0;`1" A gentleman, recently front Washington, tells a characteristic an- ecdote of our facetious Chief Maeis- trate. In response to a very high rec- omendation for a Brigadier General- ship, Mr. Lincoln replied that the nums her of officers of this grade allowed by Congress (two hundred) was already full, he could snake no mora appoint nients. What we needed now was the rank and filo. There were enough Generals. He was afraid our army would soon be in a like predicament with a certain great Western herds- man, who, in his ambition to improve his stock, had entirely overlooked the value of cows and calves, and to his dismay found be had nothing left but bulls. IMPORTANT MILITARY ORDER! TO PREVENT EVASION OF MILITARY DUTY AND SUPPRESS DISLOYALTY. &C. WASHINGTON, August 6. An Ord -r to prevent the evasion of military duty, and for the suppress- ion of disloyal practices. FIRST—By direction of the Presi- dent of the United States it is hereby ordered that, until further orders, no citizen liable to be drafted into the tnilitary service be allowed to go into a foreign country; and all rnnrshals and military officers of the United States are directed and all police au- thorities, especially at the ports of .the United Status on the seaboard, are re- gneated to see that this order is faith- fully carried into effect; and they are hereby authorized and ordered to ar rest and detain any person or persons about to depart from the United States in violation of this order and report to Major Turner, Judge Advocate, at Washington City, for further iristruc- ttons respecting the persons so arrest- ed and detained. SECOND—Any person liable to draft who shall absent himself from his county or State before such draft is made, will be arrested by any Provost Marshal, or other U. S. or State offi- cer, wherever be may be found within the jurisdiction of •the United States, and convoyed to the nearest military post or depot and placed on military duty for the term of draft; and the ex- penses of his own arrest and convey, ance to such post or depot„and also the sum of 65, as a reward to the officer who shall make the arrest, shall be de- ducted from his pa,. 'lUIRD.—The writ of habeas corpus is hereby suspended in respect to all persons so arrested and detained, and in respect to all persons arrested for disloyal ffrectices. [Signol,] E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War. tar Irl a private letter written soon after the surrender, Gen Duffield says the blame of the bad disposition of the forces at Murfreesboro rests upon Col. Lester. He writes: '•I am a prisoner in bed as well as a prisoner of war. I reached here at noon of the 12th inst., coming down with Brigadier Gen. T. L. Crittenden, the newly appointed commander of the post, my brigade being ordered to con- centrate at McMinnville, a portion moving from this point, and the other following the line of the railroad from Tullahoma. Found things very much changed at Murfreesboro, Col. Lester, who succeeded me in command of the brigade, having changed entirely the position of our camps, and detached four companies of the 9th Michigan and ordered them to Tullahoma. The remaining five companies, one forming the provost guard in town, were en, camped about three-quarters of a mile east of Murfreesboro, while the Third Minnesota with two sections of Hew' itt's battery, were camped two miles west of Murfreesboro, on the bank of Stone's river, thus separating the com- mand into two portions, three utiles apart.” eke THE NE A'S. A battle was fought on the Oth inst. in the vicinity of Culpeper Court House, Va., between Banks and Stone- wall Jackson: The rebels under Jackson and Ewell .had crossed the Rapidan in force, and their, advance guards 45,000 stroug wee attacked by Banks yesterday afternoon, about."six miles south of Culpepper .Court House. The fight was almost wholly with artillery ut first, but infantry became en- gaged about 6 o'clock, and Most bloody contest ensued. Bank's right wing, under Gen. Wil liams, suffered severely. Tne rebel position was in the woods, while the troops which attacked them were oblige to cross open ground. It was not until about six o'clock that it became evident that the rebels were attacking in force. Previous to that there had been rath- er desultory cannonading. The whole rebel force suddenly at- tacked in overwlreltning numbers at all points, and nearly all their regiments had full ranks. At 7f o'clock General Pope arrived on the field from Culpep- per, accompanied by McDowell and part of McDowell's corps. The battle was substantially over, Backs holding the same ground he oc- cupied at the beginning. Gen. Banks was on the field through- out the action. and constantly under tire. The handling of his troops and his personal gallantry are highly praised by his officers. The bravery and good conduct of his troops wore conspicuous during a large portion of the fight. Our troops fought like veterans.— No sooner did a volley of musketry or a discharge of artillery mow down the ranks of a regiment than the gaps were closed up and a new front presented. Regiment vied with regiment and brigade with brigade in deeds of valor, and few instances indeed were there where even individuals faltered. Two pieces of artilllery and a large number of small arms were captured from the enemy. At latest accounts the enemy had re- treated across the Rapidan river, with Pope's arrtillery and cavalry in pur- suit. LOUISVILLE, Aug. 10.-6.000 cavalry are already enrolled, and further enlist- ments rejected, being ono thousand ov- er quota. Infantry enroling rapidly. No necessity of drafting on the first requisition of the Federal Government. Port Royal dates of the 25th say that the gunboat Unadilla had captured the British steamer Madonna, while trying to run the blockade. She had been previously struck while trying to run by Fort Pulaski. She has a heavy r cago. ` THE PRESIDENT'S NEGRO POLICY: A telegraphic dispatch, dated Wash- ington, August 4th, states: Certain prominent western gentle- men waited on the President to day to tender him two negro regiments from the West, the organization of which could be completed and they ready to take the field within ten days. The interview was protracted and the dis- cussion covered the whole ground of arming the negroes with all its possi- bilities for good and evil. The Presi- dent finalle closed by announcing that he had made up his mind not to ac- cept at present the service of armed ne- groes. Ho would use them as team- sters, cooks, laborers on entrenchments and in every capacity save fighting.— He declared that to accept regiments of armed negroes would be to lose forty thousand white soldiers now in the army, and would drive some of the border states out of the Union. He had deliberately made up his mind to this policy, and would adhere to it un- less totally new circumstances require the change. This announcement ceas- es the utmost astonishment among the western men, who had supposed Jim Lane's project fully authorized by the President himself. His determination upsets that whole scheme and will also work decided revolutions in plans else- where. It is believed that the Presi- dent cannot now consistently allow Hunter to go on with his colored regi- ments in South Carolina, and will put an end also to the organization of ne- gro troops in other quarters. IXPOATANT TO SETTLERS ON • PUBLIC LANDS.—J. M. Edmunds, the Land Commissioner responds to a letter to him, called out by persistent efforts be- ing used to prevent enlistment, in the army by representing that settlers will lose their lands its consequence of ab- sence in the service' of 'the country. The Land Commissioner says: Such eotires will not be declared for- feited until an opportunity is afforded to the purchasers, who may return to their' settlements, to show they have done so, and complied with the spirit and intent of said act, by actual settle- ment and cultivation, which are now pre.regnisite to the delivery of the pat- ents. In case the purchaser should bo killed, or die in the actual service, up• on presentation of satisfactory evidence of the fact, and of some act intended to show the bona fide intention of the de- cedent to fulfill the requirement of the law, his claim will be confirmed to his heirs or legal representatives. • ASSL5INATED.—General Robert Mc- Cook of Ohio, was murdered near Sel- ma, Alabama, on the 6th. Ne was sick and was riding in an ambulance in advance of his brigade, when he was surrounded by a band of guerrillas, one of whom reached a pistol into the ambulance and shot hits in the side.— The guerrillas escaped. He was one of the "fighting family of McCook's," and was made Brigadier General for gallant conduct at the battle of Mill Spring, Kentnoky. . THE LAW AUTHORIZING DRAFTING,— The following are the sections.authoriz- ing a draft ot the militia, of the law passed by the late Conyers, and under which the call for the 300,000 is made: Be it enacted, cps., That whenever the President of the United States shall call forth the militia of the States, to be employed in the service of tha United States. he may specify in his call the period for which such service • will be required, not exceeding nine months; and the militia so called shall be mus- tered iu and continue to serve for ane! during the term so specified unless sooner discharged by command of the President. If by reason of defects in existing laws, or in the execution of them, in the several States or any of them, it shall be found necessary to provide for the enrolling of the militia and otherwise putting this act in exe cution, the President is authorized in all such cases to make all necessary rules and regulations; and the enroll- ment of the militia shall in all cases include all the able-bodied male citi- zens between the ages of eighteen and forty five, and shall be apportioned among the States according to repre- sentative population. Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the President be and he is hereby authorized, in addition to the volunteer forces which he is now authorized by law to raise, to accept the services of any number of volunteers not exceed- ing one hundred thousand, as infantry. for a period of nine months, unless sooner discharged. And every soldier who shall enlist under the provisions of this section shall receive his first month's pay, and also twenty-five dol• lars bounty, upon the mustering of his company or regiment into the service of the United States. And all provis ions of law relating to volunteers en- listed in the service of the United States for three years or during the war. except in relation to bounty, shall be and the sante are extended to, and are hereby declared to embrace, the volun- teers to be raised under the provisions of this section. -Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That for the purpose of filling up the regiments of infantry now in the Uuit- el States service, the President be, and ho hereby is, authorized to accept the cervices of volunteers' in such numbers as may be presented for that purpose for twelve months, if not sootier dis- charged. Anil such volunteers, when mustered into the cervico, shall bo in all respects upon a footing with similar troops in they United States service, ex rept as to soivice bounty, which shall be fifty dollars, one half of which to be paid upon their joining their regi- ments, and the other half at the expir- ation of their enlistment. 164, -Ex Governor Robert M. Stew- art, of Missouri is out openly for eman cipation in than State. In a speech made by him at Rochester, Missouri, on the 16th ult., he advocated emanci- pation with great force and eloquence, and received the endorsement of all who heard him. IIe said he was no abolitionist ---he favored the policy on purely financial grounds, ani he be- lieved it was the only way to save Mis- souri from irretrievable ruin. He hoFed, for the good of our country, that every voter would calmly and consist- ently view this subject, and givejtthat rational consideration of which just and economical principles ars always deserving. 0zr A young German, who has re- cently escaped from Riebmond, says: .'United as the rebels aro on most points, they are still more so in favor of the grand scheme for the invasion and plundering of the North. Of this they talk by day and dream by night. The hope of the rich plunder of Nortb• ern cities, and the retribution which they expect to mete out to the hated Yankee race, is the great spur to their valor, and woe to the North if they should succeed. Their first movement of invasion, they assert, will be made in Maryland and Pennsylvania." Nom.. ild7" From the census returns it ap- pears that New York has one-fifth of the whole manufactures of the country, while Pennsylvania ranks second and Massachusetts third in the scale.— The value of the annual product of Neve York is 8379,623,000, in Penn- sylvania 8285,500.000, and in Massa- chusetts $287,000,000.

RETURNED. ---Joseph Barker of the Third Minnesota arrived in this city on Tueseiay evening last, direct from Ben ton Barracks. He reports the regi ment ab being in deploraLo condition and the men anxious to come home. The officers of tho regiment are a stench in the nostrils of the men. CHAIR MANUFACTORY.—We called in at the Chair Manufactory of Messrs Herzog & Corson a few days ago and found them turning out chairs by the thousand. They are also manufactur- ing Sash, Doors, Window BI inds, &c. &e., in large quantities, and of superior make. NEW BUILDINGS.—Mr. Stephen Gard- ner contemplates erecting a large three story stonebuilding on the levee dur- ing the season. We also learn that a gentleman of St. Louis puts up a similiar building adjoining, which will make an extensive block of stone busi- ness houses that will give a fine appear- ance to that portion of the city. THE HARVEST.—There is still consid- erable quantities of grain standing, but the sickle is doing its work. The grain of all kinds is said to be good, and the yield is estimated to be at least one third greater than that of last year. The area sown is considerable greater, and the excess for exportation over that of last year will probably be fifty per cent greater. FESTIVAL, -We regret to say that the festival at Teutouia Il:,li on wed• nesday evening of last week, given by the ladies of the Methodist Church, for the purpose of furnishing their shouse of worship, was not veru well attended 'I'he Methodist. as a, class have ever been liberal in every public improve- ment, and the failure on the part of the citizens to respond to their call, shows a want of appreciation of their ser- vices. REcauremO.-+Recruiting in this County is going forward actively. The probabilities aro that both, J. E. Chap. man and John Kennedy, will succeed in raising Companies, and that still another will be raised by voluntary en- listments in this County. Wm. Jones and Thomas Keyes aro exerting them- selves to raise an Irish Company from this County. and not without strong hopes. Prosecuting Attorney iluddle- ston, is also in the field recruiting. THE DRAFT.—We believe that evs erywhere there is a feeling favoring the draft, and with but few exceptions the feeling is that the individual will stand his draft, and if drawn, to bear arms. We want to see the State authorities move in this matter at the earliest mo- ment, but of course it will not be for- gotten that there is yet large quantities of grain standing out_that ought to be harvested. The general welfare is the first consideration, but if we can have time to cut our harvest before we aro called into the field, it is most desire. ble that we should be thus favored. WAooxe.—Mr. Estergreen has just manufactured a number of choice wags ons from superior timber, completely ironed and got up in excellent style, which he is offering at the lowest prices. He may be found at the southwest corner of Fifth and Vermillion streets. He also carries on every branch of blacksmithing. T. R. HUDDLESTON.—We notice that Mr T. R. Huddleston of this city is engaged recruiting for the Seventh Regiment Minnesota 'oluteers. He is s noble fellow endowed by nature with fine qualities of mind and heart, which have been stimulated by culture, and we commend him to the men as a man worthy to hold a commission, and take command of soldiers. His uniform kindness, his sense of honor, and per- sonal pride as well as genuine courage commando Aim as in every rsspect worthy. We believe that Mr. Huddle Ston is acting in concert with John Reined y. RETURNED.— Gov. Ramsey after a somewhat, protracted visit to our regi.. menta, Washington, and other I oiuts, arrived at home on Saturday evening last. He will find work for his head and hands for sometime to come, in organizing regiments and in the duties devolving upon him in getting ready for the draft. if'llr Burbank's Stages and David - son's Boats will return the members of the State 'Poachers' Association free of charge.

CHEAPER THAN WHITE WASH, VALI MI! 11111 A. M. PETT, FAIRBANKS' STANDARD CAIS OF ALL KINDS. TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES In the month of December, 1858, the un • dersigned for the first time offered for sale to the public Da. J. Bongs Dons' luraium. Wiirs Hama, and in this short period they have given such universal satisfaction to the maby thousands of persons who have tried them that it is now an established aiticie.— The amount of bodily and mental misery arising simply from a neglect of sthall com- plaints is surprising, and therefore it is of the utmost importance that a strict attention to the least and most trifling ailment should be had; for diseases of the body must invari- ably affect the mind. The subscribers now only ask a trial of Dr.J.Bovee Dod's Imperial WineBitters from all who have not used them. We chal- lenge the world to produce their equal. These Bitters for the cure of Weak Stom- achs, General Debility, and for Purify ing and Enriching the Blood, are absolutely unsur- passed by any other remedy on earth. To be assured of this, it is only necessary to make the trial. The Wine itself is of a very superior quality, being about one third stron- ger than other wines; warming and iiivigor- ating the whole system from the head to the feet. As these Bitters are tonic and altera- tive in their character, so they strengthen and invigorate the whole system and give a fine tone and healthy action to all itsparts, by equalizing the circulation, removing ob- structions, and producing a general warmth. They are also excellent for dieeases and weak. nee peculiar to Females, where a tonic is required to strengthen and brace the system. No lady, who is subject to lassi- tude and faintness, should be without them, as they are revivify in their action. THESE BITTERS Will not only Care, but prevent Disease and in this respect are doubly valuable to the person who may tree them. For INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION Weak Lungs, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Disea- ses of the Nervous System, Paralysis, Piles, and for all cases requiring a tonic Dr. Dod's Celebrated Wine Bitters ARE UNSURPASSED 1 Fer Sore Throat, so common among the Clergy, they are truly valuable. For the aged and infiim, and for persons of a weak constitution; fen Ministers of the Gos pel, Lawyers, and all public speakers; for Book -Keepers, Tailors, eamstresse, Stu dents, Artists, and all persons leading a sed• entary life, they will prove truly beneficial. As a Beverage, tney are wholesome, inn() cent and delicious to the taste. They, pro duce all the exhilemting effects of Brandy or Wine, without intoxicating; and are a valua- ble remedy for persons addicted to the use of excessive strong drink, and who wish to re• frain from it. They are pure and entirely free from the poisons contained in theadulter- ated Wines and Liquors with veeich the country is flooded. These Bitters not only Cure, but Prevent Disease, and thould be used by all who live in a country where the water is bad, or where Chills and Fevers are prevalent. Being en- tirely innocent and harmless, they may be given freely to Children and infants with im- punity. Physicians, Clergymen, and temperance advocates, as an aet of humanity, should as- sist in spreading these truly valuable BIT- TERS over the land, and thereby eesentially aid in banishing drunkenness and disease. In all affections of the Head, Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache Dr. Dods' Imperiet Viii Bitters will be found to be most salutary and ef- ficacious. e /la ttle:s The many certificates which have been ten- dered us, and the letters which we are daily receiving, are conclusive proof that among the women these Bitters have giuen a satis- faction which no others have ever done be. fore. No woman in the land should be with out them, and those who once use them will not fail to keep a supply. DR. 7 BOVEE DODS' IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS are prepared by an , eminent physician who has used them successfully in his practice for the last twenty-five years. The proprietor, before purchasing the exclusi VE right to man- ufacture and sell Dr. J. Bovee Dods' Celebra- ted Imperial Wine Bitters, had them tested by two distinguished medical practitioners who pronounced them a valuable remedy for disease. Although the medical men of the country, as a general thing disapprove of Patent Med- icines, yet we do not belteve that a respeeta ble Physician can be found in the United States, acquainted with their medical Dr. J. who will not highly approve Dr. J. Bovee Dods' Imperial Wine Bitters. All newly settled places, where there is al- ways a large quantity of decaying timber from which a poisonous miasma is created, .hese bitters should be used every morning oefore breakfast. DR. J.

Gen- eral McClellan's attitude is such that in the very selfishness of his nature he cannot but wish to be successful—and I hope ho will—and the Secretary of War is precisely in the same situation. If the military commanders in the field cannot be successful, not only the Sec- retary of War, but myself for the time being the masters of them both cannot be but failures, (Leughters and ap- plause ) I know General 'McClellan ped inside the car when 1 saw at the first glance one of the Iovliest looking women my eyes ever fell on.

I immediate, diately took my stand in the ailse of the car by her side. She was looking out of the window earnestly, as if ex- pecting some one. The back door of the car opened, and in stepped my ho- tel friend. I pointed my finger slyly to her, never dreaming that he would dare to carry out his pledge; and you may iutmagine my horror and a uuze- ment when he stepped np quickly be- hind her, and stooping over, kissed her with a relish that ,Wade, "my mouth water" from end to end. I expected. of course, a shriek of terror and then a row generally. and a knockdown; but astonishment succeeded astonish- ment when I saw her return the kisses with compound interest. Quick as a flash he turned to me and said, "Now, sir, it is your turn;" pelt- ing to a hideously ugly, wrinkled old woman who sat in the seat behind.— 'Oh, you must excuse me!" 1 ex- claimed. "I am sold this time. I give up. Do tell me who you have been kissing. "Well," sail he, "since you are a man of so mach taste and such quick perception, 1'!I let you off."

'Oh, yes; I know most of the leading citizens,' was the reply. 'Do you, indeed?' exclaimed the flashy gentleman. `Well, then, I ata in luck; pretty lively place?' 'Quite so, sir; every man has some- thing to do, and are all making a good living.' 'Do you live—ah, in St. Pant?' 'I do.' 'Have you any lawyers there?' 'Quite too many, sir. That is my profession.' The dandy looked at the man at first with incredulity, and the n, with a patronizing air, said: •I have reference, my good fellow, to first class attorneys, men of educa- tion, who graduated at College!' A light seemed to break in upon the man's mind as he replied: Ah! I see what ycu mean! No, we have no lawyers of education! Are you n lawyer, sir?' Inflating himself with importance and great condescension, he replied: 'A graduate, sir, of the best colleges in New Jersey. And, if sufficient en• eouragetnent is held out by the mem- bers of the bar in St. Paul, I will stop among them, and give them the bene- fit of my knowledge.' A t the same time the brilliant young sprig produced and handed over a very rninature card, which read : G—E L., Newark, N. J. The roan seemed delighted. Ile claimed the privilege at once of extend ing to the stranger the hospitalities of the bar of St. Paul; and declared that within two hours after the arrival of the boat a public reception should bo given him. As the sun was sinking in the west the Key City touched at the levee at St. Paul, and the distinguished stran- ger was at once conducted to a leading hotel to await the artival of the city bar in a body. In about two hours they arrived, and were presented in due form by the man who camp up on the boat with the brilliant scholar, and who had in- troduced himself as Mr. Spotless. -- Then came Judge Kirby, Judge Alltish, Advocate Bloodeye, lawyers Keen, Knifepoint, Badax, Harvey, and some two dozen others—all anxious to show their respect to the lawyer who had been'edicated,' and was 'a gwine for to sbow'tn how they dew things in Jersey. During the excitement of shaking hands and taking drinks for the twen- tieth timo, from the row of bottles placed upon the table, a long gaunt six and a half footer came in with boots off, and without hat, coat, or vest, and in a stentorian voice exclaimed. 'Evenin' court is now open, and I'll shoot every man who don't attend in three minutes!' There was at once a scattering from the room. Some escaped by one door and some by another; but Judge Kirby grasped the Jersey lawyer by the hand and whispered: 'Follow me and you will be safe!' Escaping by a back door, and thread. ing innumerable dark lanes and cow - yards, the Judge and his young friend at Length reached the extensive livery stable at Allbones—the maddest wag in the State. Here they found a row of twelve bar• rels for jury to sit upon, inverted water pails for the lawyers, and a bundle for the Judge. The prisinor at the bar— who was being tried for the murder of his mother with a butcher knife—was seated on a wheelbarrow, smoking an Indian pipe, and swearing that he could whip any three men on the jury. 'Gentlemen!' grasped the educated mei, 'can it be possible that yon con- duct courts in this manner in St. Paul Y' tol's muzzle, held by the crier of the Court—a couvalescent invalid six foot two inches iu his stockings, and weigh ing about two hundred and six pounds. At this stage of the proceedings, two of the jury—who had been playing cards for a gallon of whisky—got into a quarrel, and one drove his bowie knife, apparently up to the hilt into the other's body. Tho corpse was con- veyed from the room as unconcernedly as if it had been the body of a defunct hog, and the crier screamed at the top of his voice, 'Go on with the Court!' George had been a member of the Sons of Malta, or et least he made his way into the Lodge, at Trenton, a few winters ago, when they were wont to put the candidates over the "rugged path" with bells on. George, we say, hail been there, but now he wa.s fright- ened, and made up his mind to save his precious life by flight. With a bound that would have been creditable to the Ravels in their palm- icst days, he leaped over a fanning mill eluded the grasp of his client, who hid broken from the wheelbarrow, and by the aid of the almost impenetrable darkness. succeeded in hiding himself in a lumber yard till near morning. when, stealing himself down to the levee in his almost nude state, he ran on board of a small steamer, and beg- ged the clerk, in the name of pity and humanity, to give him a passage down the river to some town five hundred miles from t. Paul. He would give no explanation of his undressed con- dition, but only begged to be secreted until the boat was at least a hundred miles down the river. On coming out of his state room the paliau preacher of Chicago, whose name 1 had frequently heard. When, ever 1 go to Chicago, I always go to with his address. by Lawyer Spotless, hear him, and a heartier, more natural, a man of fine character, but no educa- tion. 'I thank him for my baggage,' gasp. ed the student, turning pale at the re- collection of the midnight scene in the barn; 'but these Minnesota lawyers are worse than savages. They'll gamble, smoke, drink rum, and murder in the court room, and cut the throat of an educated man with as little compunc- tion of conscience as they'd stab a toad. I've heard it said that Saint Paul is a beautiful place. It may be in the day time, but it is an awful place in the night. And if it is it healthy place for invalids, it is an unhealthy one for lawyers. I'm an educated lawyer myself. I've had my first case in Min nesota, and it's my last.' On arriving at La Crosse, he went to 'Brick Pomeroy,' of the Democrat, and tried to get him to publish the story of his St. Paul experience, but 'Brick' indignantly replied: 'Can't do it, my boy! 'Fraid taint true! It's too funny for reality, and the Democrat never defile in fiction.' Being determined to relate his ex- perience, however, he then hired a hall and advertised it Lecture on Emigra- tion ; and after be had received at the door nearly enough to cover his ex- penses, the Deputy Mayor stepped up and exclaimed: 'Have you got a license, sir, for this 'ere show?' 'This is not a show, and I have no li- cense.' 'Well, I want ten dollars, and I don't care a red whether you,call it a show or an exhibition.' 'But my dear ft iend—' 'Don't but me, sir! I know what the law is—I hold office—and you must pay up, or mizzle.' And so he mizzled; and when on the point of returning home to old Essex, by overland easy stages, on foot, was met by his former friend of the boat, who explained to him that the Court scene was all a joke, and pre- vailed on him to return and locate. He dropped his airs at once, and soon became a favorite. 'It's only lately that svo have had so He now holds an important office at nice a mom nn 'this,' replied a half I St. 'euL—Cor. N.Y.

A CHICAGO BANKER CAPTURED.—A few weeks ago since Lazarus Silver- man, Esq., a well known banker doing business on Lasalle street. left for Mem phis with the avowed purpose of pur- chasing cotton. Mr. Silverman carried with him nearly *30,000 in gold, with which he hoped to drive such bargains with the needy Sonthrons as should net hitn an amount sufficient to remora• erate him for the risk incurred. The banker went to the roar of that city was still half subjuguted, trustieg to his familiarity with the people and the fact that he was connected by marriage with some of the first lentil es of Ten- nessee, he imprudently ventured beyond our lines, and took up his abode with a planter of decided "Union proclivit- ies," and was in a fair way to realize a small fortune by exchanging the gold for the staple, But alas! the banker's visions of wealth were destined to van- ish like the mist before the summer's sun. His "Union" friend proved to be in the confidence of Jeff. Thompson's Guerillas, and notified them of the presence of his Northern friend. One fine morning a thieving band of forty came galloping up the lawn leading to the mansion of the planter—and laid violent hands on Mr. Silverman and his bag of gold. The banker is now studying political economy in the ups per story of a cotton factory in Dixie, and his hard earned dollars have gone to swell the coffers of the bogne con- federacy in the direction of the tropics. —Chicago Tribune.

This nomination is subject to the approve of the President of the United States. Attention is directed to the following: PROVOST MARSHAL'S OFFICE, ST PAUL., Aug. 16, 1862. The following rules have been adopted by the Provost Marshal, which will govern all cases, of appli- cations for passes, and from which there will be no deviation: 1st. Passes will be issued to per- sons residing 'in other States within the State, upon the oath of a loyal citizen of this State, known to the Marshal, or in case such person is a stranger, upon such other evidence as shall be satisfactory to the Marshal. 2d. To persons, for any cause ex- empt from service to the militia, upon clear and satisfactory proof of the na. tare of such exemption. The fact that any county his furnished its quota of volunteers under the calls of the Presi- dent for 600,000 men, will not be deemed sufficient; nor will the certifi- cate of a surgeon of any physical dis- ability, in any ease. be received and no physical disability will be regarded sufficient, unless so apparent and ob- vious as to preclude all doubt. 3d. To persons residing in thi. State, desiring to leave the State upon urgent businese, and producing clear and satisfactory evidence of the nature of such business and of their intention to return to the State before the draft. In all cases embraced by this 3(1 regue lation hereinbefore established, the Provost Marshal will require a bonl in such sum as he may prescribe, signed by reiponsible sureties, conditioned that if drafted, the applicant will report himself for military service or provide a proper substitute. 4th.

Clay made a speech at the Ladies' Soldiers Relief Fair, ea the evening of the 12th. England, he says, is our bitterest ene- my, with a malignant press suspected by the Government and truthfully rep- resenting its spirit. France is not un- friendly. Russia is our friend. The Czar is one of the greatest and wisest of monarchs, as evinced by his late beneficent emancipation policy. Mr. Clay urged an earnest prosecution of the war. Ile would sttike only for liberty, and never draw sword for the protection of slavery for rebels. or Cassius M. Clay has returned to New York. The statement made a day or two ago that he will go back to Russia, proves correct. He himself said that he would be glad to serve his country here, but found his views of the mode of conducting the war, so far as slavery is connected with it, could not be harmonized with those of the administration.

Wo hope that there is no one in this city who would thus steal the bread out of RECRUITING.—Dakota county has now two full companies ready to be dispatched to the Fort. One has been recruited by John Kenedy and T. R Huddleston, and the other by Leonard Aldrich and J. E. Chapman. We be- lieve that both companies are up to the maximum. Mr. Foster of Pine Bend, and Mr. Egan, of Mendota, have each about twenty men, and Mr. 'Colby of this city is recruiting with good suc- cess. The combined efforts of all these men will speedily fill up the ranks of another company, which will be the full quota of Dakota county under the recent calls ot the President, order- ing out 600,000 men. STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. -- Members of the State Teacher's As sociation will be entertained in private families gratis; at the Hotels at re- duced rates.

We understand that tie has bought a half interest in the Bank of Green Bay, of which institution he will be the cashier up the entire week past this whole city has been one immense re- cruiting office. Public meetings were held, war speeches delivered, and the topio everywhere was we must furnish Dakota county's quoto of men without resorting to a draft. Martial music has filled the air and we have ha 1 it carried to our doors that the great struggle for national existence is now upon us. We regret to say that there was a collision between the Marshall of the city, and certain persons, whom the times and the occasion who had be- come a little too excited to conduct themselves with their usual good cense. Friday last was a day in which the war spirit was enthusiastic, and al -1 all kinds of business yielded to the work of recruiting. In the even- ing when this feeling was at its highth, the marshal attempted to take in I charge a man for offending against the city ordinances, and others interfering for his rescue, a disgraceful scene en- sued.

HOW HE WAS ELECTED. Two years ago, our friend J H. E—, who lives over in the mining district, about Shullsburg, ran for the Legislature. The district was close, and it required the best foot forward to win. The profits to be derived from an election were nothing, but the idea of defeat did not allow any stones to re• main unturned by either party to secure a vote. J is in the mining busi- ness, and at times employe a number of men, who dig and delve in the bowels of the earth for his profit—so the day before the election he engaged about fifty repnhlican voters to work for flim the forenoon of Tuesday, and go to the polls in the afternoon. Be- ing prompt pay he had no difficulty in getting what help he wanted; so bright and early Tuesday morning, fifty-three good republicans stood gathered around the shaft leading down into the hill one hundred and thirty feet, waiting for J Soon he came, and down the long ladder the party went, till they struck the bottom, when separating to follow the different veins, or lades, soon they were all hard at work, with pick, chisel and drill, digging, cutting and blasting for the bright cubes of lead SO plenty thereabouts. J passed around from group to group of men, joked with and directed them in their labors till half -past eleven, when he very cooly put on his coat, ascended the ladder, reached the surface, drew a long breath and with the help of two or three friends in the secret, drew the ladder up after him, leaving fifty three good republican voters hard at work a hundred feet below, with no means of getting out till the ladder was replaced! 'Peking two sections of the ladder off to have some new rounds put in, he left for the polls, a mile distant, and when the votes were counted at night, to the surprise of leis opponent, J— had forty two majority! An hour later there might have been seen fifty-three able bodied men, each one bearing a lighted candle, emerg- ing from a certain hole in the ground, like ants from a vial of molasses, pro- faning fearfully, and vainly seeking for the matt who "pulled up the ladder," but for two days, no such man conld be found.

A newspaper is not the wisdom of a man, or two men; it is the wisdom of the age—of past ages, too. A family without a newspaper is always half an age behind the times in general infor- mation:bestdes, they never think much, nor find much to think about. And there are the little ones growing up in ignorance, without a taste for reading. Besides all these evils, there's the wife, who, when her work is done, has to sit down with her hands in her lad, and nothing to amuse her mind from the toils and cares of the domestic circle. Who would be without a newspaper.

INDIAN ItAIDS. 'fho reparts wlricll reached us last week, and which we published as ru- uhors, have proved but tco true. All the attrocity of savage natures have been visited upon the defenseless citi- zens of our frontier. Men, women and children, to the number of perhaps five hundred have fallen victims to the savages of this merciless foe. The people have crowded into the towns, and consternation and alarm pervades all exposed positions. So far it is not anticipated that these bar- barities are perpetrated by other than the Sioux, Yanktons, Sissetons and Caiheads, but fears are entertained that all the Indians in the State will soon be in a state of hostility. Troops bare been dispatched to the scene of the out -1 and heavy bodies of men will pony out in all directions to meet this relentless foe. Everything at the Upper and Lower Sioux Agency has fallen into the hands of the Indians, and Fort Ridg., ley is besieged by the develish red• j l Shins, and the little garrison was in t iruinent danger at latest accounts. A c large portion of New Ulm has been burned, but the people of that place had fottifiod and the probabilities were that they could offer successful resis- tance to the savages. The latest intelligence we have from the Indian country is that on Monday morning, Gov. Sibley moved in the direction of Fort Tlidgley, with five hundred mounted men. The infantry to a like number, towards the fort by way of New Ulm, at the same time. It is probable that the troops for the relief of tho fort have arrived there be- fore this time. The indicati;ns aro far from favorable for the quiet Chippewa tribe, but it is not believed that there is any under- standing between them and the Sonix, or any probabilty that they are acting in coneert. The Chippewas have corns witted no acts of murder, but threaten, and their women have been sent north while the warriors remain. An attack is momently expected upon Fort Rip- ley, though it is still hoped. that the difficulty with them will be settled without resorting to arms. At the Union Convention, held at Owatonna on the 20th inst., lion. William Windom was declared the unanimous choice of the Convention as candidate for Congress. The Con- vention was shorn of everything par- tisan, recognizing but two parties in this our hour of struggle—the Loyal and Disloyal. We are proud of the First District. Its noble men have reached the great heart of the people, and the majority for Mr. Windom with the issue, our "country, our whole country, one and indivisible" will bo overwhelming.

We recognize no issue as be- fore the country but that of Loyalty and Disloyalty; and we know no test of Loyalty but a hearty and undivided support of the Government, by contri- butions of men and money to the Lull extent of its needs, in its efforts to sup- press rebellion and punish treason. 2. There can be no neutrality on the question of sustaining the Govern- ment, when its life is in peril by armed traitors; and indifference and inactivity become eiiminal complicity with those who plot against the na- tion's life. 3. That in this dark hour, onr only hope of the preservation of this Union lies in our trust that the Administra- tion of this Government will use all means that •,lod has placed in its pow- er, to utterly subdue the present most causeless rebellion; and we hereby cor- dially extend the fraternal hand to all who are twilling to support the Presi• dent in his eminently patriotic efforts to preserve the heritage of frecdotn and constitutional liberty fur an undivided count ry.

It appears that the in- habitants of the province denounce them as cowards and ingrates, and de- clared, in some instances, that they should not live there; that Canada was too good for them, and they must seek some country where disloyalty and poltroonery were not esteemed the worst vices. —Rhode Island has a population of 20,000 liable to military duty, and she has now (or will have before the Ist of September) 12,000 in the field!— Can a country, with such a people be whipped? „Jr The Washington correspond- ent of the New York Commercial Ad- vertiser, states that it bas become pub- lic that Mr. Theodore 8.

On Sunday last, in New York City, Archbishop Hughes preached to a crowded congregation at St. Patrick's, in exposition of his recent visit to and protracted sojourn in Europe. After speaking of the religious solemnities which occasioned the gathering of so many prelates in the "catsehral church of Christendom," he avowed that his time bad been Iargely devoted to the diffusion of correct ideas of our great civil war, and the principles involved, with the correction of prevalent misap- prehensions. He intimated that be found the influential classes very gen- erally unfriendly to the Union cause on various grounds, which generally re- solved themselves into this—it is the interest of Europe (that is, of its gov- erning classes) that tfe United States should no longer exhibit the spectacles of growth, prosperity, and power hith- erto presented. Interest contrails po- litical attachments and antipathies, and the Archbishop, though he believed ho had dispelled some misconceptions, did not intimate that Ile had been able to dispel the desire of the royalists and aristocracies of the Olt World that our country should be divided and crippled. Ile thought, however, that the danger of forcible intervention to our prejudice had passed unless the contest should be unreasonably protracted. As to the vigorous prosecution of the war lie NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. STEAMBOAT SUNK. CAIRO, August 24.—The steam r Acacia ran on a snag 60 miles below Memphis at one o'clock on Thursday morning, and sunk in five minutes. She had 150 passengers, six of whom were ladies.

COMMUNICATION. MR. EDITOR:—In your last paper, in speaking of the disturbance of Thurs.- evening, Aug. 14th, you say that "a ter• tain'persoillEAt violated the .law, and other persons interfered to thwart the officer in his attempt to arrest him.' You were wrong in your informa- tion. First, Young -Lewis has since asserted that there was no violation of law, and the fact that no action at law has been instituted confirms his re- port. Second, No persons interfered for the purpose of detering the officer in the discharge of his duty. It is true, I stepped forward to tell the offi- cer that if their was any violation of law, I would become bail for the ups pearance next morning, but before I had time to say this I was knocked down and thrown on a dray, beat and maltreated in a disgraceful way, the mitrihal being too excited to hear a word I had to say until the whole measure of his fury had'been spent on me. 1 irrist 1 am a law = abiding citi- ten,land I ask you to publish this, in zny vindication.

ROOM`;: l(ORTII SIDE OF SECOND STREET, OVER fliis news still further agitated the council, which was greatly divided in sentiment. The Sissetuus urged the killing of all the whites, and the tak- ing of their goods and property. -- They said that the M'dewa'kautons had already gone so far that the wor: t the whites could inflict would be sure to corse upon them all—that the whites would regard them all alike as ene- mies; and since natters could in no event be worse, the best plan was to kill them ell and take their goods. The Wakl cions agreed with them that, as they were now in for mischief, they ought to take the g,,ods of the whites, but opposed killing them.— They said they had nothing against the whites, and insisted upon sending them off with their horses and wagons across the prairies. Other -Day himself addressed diem. He told theca that they might easily enough kill a few whites—five, ton, or a hundred. But tho consequence would be that their whole country would be filled with soldiore of the United States, and all of thein killed or driven away. ''Some of you," he said, "say you have horses and may escape to the plains; but what will be- come of those who have so horses." They replied to this that all this would happen anyway. After a long debate, towards evening the Yanktous, Sissitons, and a few of the 1Vakpetons, rising from the coun- cil, without coming to any conclusion, inuved towards the houses of the whites, for the purpose of killing them. In the meantime he (Other -Day) took his wife by the aro;, took his gun and went to the houses of the tvh:tes, informed thein of their danger (for they had previously known nothing of the council) and hurried them all to the Agency house, a brick building about a mile from the place where the Thorne, Norrish & Co's., Store. council was held.

Ile saw a brother of Jo Brown who told him they had arrived safely at the Fort. In reference to the Indians engaged in the outbreak, he says that there is a stream half way between Yellow Medi- cine and Lacqui Paris. The Indians above that stream knew nothing of the fracas, and wero not in any manner con• nected with it. The chiefs who participated in the council at Yellow Medicine were as fol- lows: The chief of Old Sleepy -Eye's band, the Lean Bear, White Lodge, the son of Liming Devil, and Blue Face. The above are Sisselons, and urged the killing of the whites. The following are the Wappotons who opposed the advice: Mazza ntcdi; the Gun, or Walking, runner, father•in•law of Little Crow; Akipa; Root•of•tho•Horn; Eneehan; Mnkpi-o-Chasta; and Anah•ungomin, one of the members of the Hazlewood Republic, who has been one of its Pres idents. 'rho only reason given by the Sisse, tons for killing the whites, was that al- ready stated --that the outrages at the Lower Agency would make them im- placable enemies, that all the Indians would suffer fur it, and that it would he no worse if they killed the whites. 13cfore the fracas occurred, a war par ty of Souix went out from the country above Yellow Medicine against the Chippewss. They know nothing of this affair before they went, and had not come hack when it occurred. A few days ago a panic occurred in McLeod county, from its being report- ed that Indian tracks were seen near Ilutchinson.

Ho had been generally present in their councils, but never heard such a thing hinted. 'There was no preparation at the Upper Agen• cy at tlse time of the outbreak—none of the usual preparations for going to war. The following part of Other -Day's narrative is of the utmost importance. He says that the whole mischief be-. gan with four young men of Little Six's band, who went oat from the Lower Agency, and on Sunday murdered six white people—(doubtless the six per- sons killed at Acton, Meeker county.) He says that Susinaki, a young man of the Wakpeton band of Yellow Med- icine, had been down to the Lower Agency and was there when the out- break occurred, and when ho came back related to Other -Day what fol- lows: When the four young men of Little Six's band had committed the murder- ers above mentioned, they came back to Red Wood and made known what they had done. In a short time the greateat excite- ment prevailed, and the Indiana prev- ent, consisting of Little Six's, Little Crow's, Grey Iron's, and Good Road's bands. and part of the Lake Calhoun band, gathered around and crowded in- to the warehouse.

It weft ad- dressed to the President of the Unitcri States, and accused that officer of vio- lating Isis official oath in not enforc- ing the confiscation hill according to Greeley's notions. We are surprised to see the following reply from Mr. Li ncoln : EXECUTIVE MANRtoN. WAcHISOTON, August 23, 1802. To Ihn, Ilorace flreely: DEAR SiR—I have jn?t received yours of tl,o 10th inst., addressed to myself through the New York Tribune. If there be it in any statements or as- snmptione of facts :which I may know to be erroneous, I do not now and here controvert them. If there he any in- ferences which I may believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now noel here argue against them. If there he per- ceptible in it an impatient and dicta- torial tone, I waive it in deference to an old friend whose heart I hero always supposed to be right. As to the policy I seem to bo pur- suing, as you say, I have not meant to lenve any one of you in doubt. I would save the Union; I would save it in the shortest way under the Consti- tution. The sooner the national an- thority can be restored, the nearer the Union will be the Union as it was.— If there be those who world not cavo the Union unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object is to save the Union, and not either to save or des- troy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slaves, I would do it; and if I oould save it by freeing all the slaves, I wonld do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; end what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correot errors when shown to be errors, and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. I have here stated my purpose, ac- cording to my view of official duty, and I intend no modification of my oft expressed personal wish—that all men, everywhere. could be tree. Yours, A. LINCOLN.

When he rejoined hie father in a secure home, he named hie infant daughter, which had been born is his absence, "Nettie Marvin," that he might be daily reminded of the lit- tle couisn whose truth and shrewdness had saved his life. The Provident has evidently deemed it a good opportunity, as well as an appropriate time, to reiterate what the people have almost been persuaded out of, that his purpose in this war is, as it has been, not to perpetuate nor to overthrow slavery, but to maintain the Constitution and preserve the Union; and that his "policy" is whatever in his judgement will beet hasten and ac— complish those ends. This he does, eo clearly, that the public mind will be brought back to "first principles" on the ,abject. "Hetty, my child, sorely you would not betray me to my death. Hark! they are coming.

"Cousin, cousin, hide under my web of cloth, they'd never think of looking for you Isere. Come, get down as quick as you can, and I'll cover you, and stand sprinkling my linen." "It's my only chance, child; I'll get down as you say" And suiting the action to the word, the Governor was soon hidden under the ample folds of the cloth. Angry that their expected prey had escaped from the house where they hoped to secure him, the six mounted tories, headed by a British officer, dashed along the road io swift pursuit. At sight of the little girl in the meadow, the loader of the party paused. "Child." ho said sternly, "have you Been a man running away hereabouts. "Yes, sir," replied Hefty, trembling and flushing. "Which way did bego?" "I promised not to tell, sir." "Bot you must, or take the conse- quences." "I said I wouldn't tell if you ,killed me," sobbed the frightened girl. "I'll have it ont of her," exclaimed the infuriated officer, with an oath. "Let me speak to her," said his tory guide; "I know the child, I believe.

The party consisted of the well known Cherokee Chief, John Ross, his wife, children, and numerous other relatives and friends, with their servants—in, all fifty persons. on his authority and assumed dignity,. and refuses to march, though impor- tuned by his men to lead them against the foe. Delegations were sent repeat- edly urging Col. Sibley to permit par- ties to march against the Indians, but their entreaties, arguments, and expros- tulations were in vain, while the Col. is consuming time, and widening the distance between him$elf and the sav- ages, in busying himself with the un- important details of military lifo. Disgusted, disheartened and discour- aged by this red tape policy, a largo body of eavell•j insisted that the Col. should permit them to scour the praise ies picking up those who had escaped the savage foe, while an infantry force was to be dispatched to bury the dead, This was refused, and the men at their last resort in a large body left the camp for their homes there to remain until those in authority come to the conclu- sion that their services are required. These men are bitter in their denoun- etation of everything in connection with the expedition. They censure the Chief Executive of the State, and the commandant in the most bitter mans ner. For the credit of the State we hope there may be some excuse for the slack manner in which matters with this expedition was managed.

BOYER DODS' IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS, and in this short period they have given such universal satisfaction to the many thonsands of persons who have tried them that it is now an established article.— The amount of bodily and mental misery arising simply from a neglect of small com- plaints is surprising, and therefore it is of the utmost importance that a strict attention Lo the least and moat trifling ailment should be had; for diseases of the body must invari- ably affect the mind. The subscribers now only ask a trial of Dr.J.Bovee Dod's Imperial WineBitters from all who have not used them. We chat lenge the world to produce their equal. These Blame for the cure ef Weak Stom- achs, Geneml Debility,and for Purift ing and Enriching the Blood, are absolutely unsur- passed by any other remedy on earth. To be IssUred of this, it is only necessary to make the trial. The Wine itself is of a very superior quality, being about one third stron- ger than other wines; warming and invigor- ating the whole system from the head to the feet. As these Bitters are tonic and altera- tive in their character, so they strengthen and invigorate the whole system and give a fine tone and healthy action to all its parts, by equalizing the circulation, removing ob- structions, mid pi educing a general warmth. They are also excellent for diseases and weak - nes peculiar to Females, where a tonic is required to strengthen and brace the system. No lady, who is subject to lassi- tude and faintness, should be without them, as they are revivify in their action. THESE BITTERS Will not only Cure, but prevent Disease and in this respect are doubly valuable to the porgoo who inav use them. For INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION Weak Lungs, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Disea- ses of the Nervous System, Paralysis, Piles, and for -nil cases requiring a tonic Dr. Dod's Celebrated Wine Bitters ARE UNSURPASSED Fer Sore Throat, so common among the Clergy, they are truly valuable. For the aged and Infit m, and for persons of a weak constitution; rot Ministers of the Gos pel, Lawyers, and all public speakers; for The:A-Keepers, Tailors, eamstresse, Stu dente, Artists, and all persons leading a sed• entary life, they will prove truly beneficial. As a Beverage, tney are wholesome, inno cent and delicious to the taste. They pro duce all the exhilerating effects of Brandy or Wine, without intoxicating; and are a valua- ble remedy for persons addicted to the use of excessive strong drink, and who wish to re• frain front it. They are . pure and entirely free from the poisons contained in the ad utter- ated Wines and Liquors with which the country is flooded. These Bitters not only Cure, but Prevent Disease, and should be ueed by all who live in a country where the water is bad, or where Chills and Fevers are prevalent. Being en- tirely innocent and harmless, they may be given freely to Children and infants with im- punity. Physicians, Clergymen, and tempernnce advocates, as an net of humanity, should as- sist in spreading these truly valuable BIT- TERS over the land, and thereby essentiallv aid in banishing dennkenness and disease. In all offections of the Head, Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache Dr. Dods' Imperiel Wine Bitters will be found to be most salutary and ef- ficacious. NORTH & CARLL, IIASTINGS - MINNESOTA.

The following are among the distressing variety of hignan diseases in which the Vegetable Lifc Medicines Are well kncwn to be infallible. DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the first and second stomachs and creating a flow of pure, healthy bile instead of the stale and acrid kind: FLATULENCY, 1088 of Appetit*, Healtburn,Headeche, Restlesene88,111-temp- er, Anxiety, Languor and Melancholy,which are the general symptons of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as a natural consequence of its cure. COSTIVENESS, by cleansing the whole length of the intestines with a solvent process and without violence; all violent purges leave the bowels costive within two days. FEVERS of all kinds, by restoring the blood to a regular circulation, through the process of respiration in such cases, and the thorough solution of all intestinal obstruction in others. The LITE Menterees have been known to cure RHEUMATISM permanently m three weeks, and GOUT in half that time, by re- moving local infiamation from the muscles and ligaments 01 the joints. DROPSIES of all kinds, by freeing and strengthening the kidneys and bladder; they operate most delightfully on therm important organs, and hence have ever been tonna n certain remedy for the worst cases of GRAV El.

No woman in the land should be with out them, and those who once use them will not fail to keep a eupply. DR. J BOVEE DODE-Y IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS are prepared by an , eminent physIclan who has used them successfully in his practice for the last twenty-five years. The proprietor, before purchasing the exclusive right to man- ufacture and sell Dr. J. Bovee Dods' Celebra- ted Imrerial Wine Bitters, had them tested by two distinguished medical practitioners who pronounced them a valuable rernedy for disease. Although the medical men of the country, as a general thing disapprove of Patent Med- icines, yet we do not believe that a respeeta hie Physician can be found in the 'United States, acquainted with their tnedical prop- erties, who will not highly approve Dr. J. Bovee Dods' Imperial Wine Bitters. All newly settled places, where there is al- ways a large quantity of decaying timber from which a poisonous miasma is created, hese bittersIshould be used every morning nefore breakfast. DR. J. BOVEE DODS' IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS Is composed of a pure and unadulterated Wine, combined with Barberry, Soloman's Seal, Comfrey, Wild Cherry Tree Bark, Spi- kenard,Camomile Flowers, and Gentian.— They. are manufactured by Dr. Dods himself, who is an experienced and suceeseful Physi- elan, and hence should not be classed among the attack nostrums which flood the country, and against which the Medical Profession are BO justly prejudicep. These truly valuabie bitters have been thoroughly tested by all classes of the com- munity for almost every variety of disease incident to the human system, that they are now deemed indispeasible ae a Tonic, Medicine and a Beverage.

EDITOR INDEPENDENT :--Perhaps most of your readers are not aware that our Regiment has lately been transfered from Corinth, Miss., to Tuscumbia, musketry: THE OLD CONTINENTALS. Let us awaken the memories of that glo- rious struggle, and re -animate our patriotism I, with the "drum and trumpet" lines of Guy Humphrey McMaster, wherein the battle of Bunker Hill is celebrated in verse that sounds like the roll of drums and the rattles of Alabama, on line of Memphie and Charleston Railroad, but such is the case, and the sick of the Regiment are Isere, together with those of the 1st and 2nd Division of this array; those of our Brigade were pieced in charge of Dr. Etheridge and forwarded by rail to this place, and arrived on the evening of the 18th. On arriving the the Doctor took possession of the best hotel the town afforded, for the com— fort of our sick, which are now being comfortably provided for. Since cont• ing here we have lost two of our men, Daniel Sheldon of company G., form- erly of Nininger. Dan. was a good boy and leaves many friends. He died of dysentery. He was too far gone before he came to the hospital to re- cover; the Surgeon certainly did every- thing in his power for him, but it was all in vain. The other was John Jenkins, of company F., from county, he was an old man. Also on the morning of our Regiment leaving camp, Orvill Bishop, fifer, of company H., from Goodhue county. Both Jenkins end Bishop were married mon, and leave families to mourn their loss. Bishop died of cholera morbus. The hotel above referod to has been a splendid establishment'in its day," where Southern chivalry could reolins under its shady balconies end enjoy themselves to their hearts' content. Iuka Springs are quite celebrated, and the Inks is known as a fashionable wafering place. '!'here are several beautiful springs where the water poure out in profusion. We found the hotel all nicely furnished with very fine bin. !lard tables, centre taLles, softs, parlor chairs, splendid mirrors, and any amount of chamber furniture, which we aro now trying to onjoy—quite a con— trast, eertaluly, bvtno,`n spinae uu the ground in a Sibley tent, eating from a tin dish to the luxury of laving at a fashionable hotel and eating front stone china.

Every day there are two or it three of our soldiers brought in dead, hat have bean murdered when on duty ear hear. by guerrillas in antbush.— A d,iy or two since, the cars were fired into, not far from ads place, killing one colored pian and mortally wound— ing the conductor. The second night after our arrival, the mail was robbed, and all tho letters torn open, money abstracted, and the fragments hid in the cellar. Most of the letters had been written the day before, and several con- tained money going North, to friends of soldiers. We are looking forward for b ighter days, when traitors will get their due. May God assist in crushing this wicked rebellion. Gens. Mitchell and Rosecranz have gone to Tuseumbia, Gen. Stanley res mains here. Our generals are not quite so careful about guarding rebel property as they have been. Gen. Mitchell em— ploye every negro that comes into his amp and sends out in the country for ore. '!'here is any amount of camp abor the negro can perform, such as ooking, poltceing, driving teams, beveling and digging, eto., which will save the poor soldier a vast mount of drudgery. One colored egiment to every brigade can be used o a good advantage, notwithstanding he editor of the Chicago Times don't hink so. The boys are living better than here- ofore. They now have the liberty to 0 out on foraging expeditions, and hey come in with waggon loads of orn, potatoes, apples peaches, eto. Now, Mr. Editor, you will be getting ired of this, and I will draw my Tet- er to a close, by saying that Colonel urgesrode has just come in from the egiment, and is onhis way to Arkan— as, as Colonel of a cavalry regiment. ieut. Col. Hubbard will take his lace, as colonel of the Fifth. Another linter promoted. OCCASIONAL. n In their ragged regimentals Stood the old Continentals, Yielding not, When the Grenadiers were lunging, And like hail fell the plunging Cannon shot; When the files Of the ilea, From the smoky night encampment, Bore the banner of the rampant Unicorn, And grummer, grummer, grummer, Rolled the roll of the drummer, Through the morn! Thea with eyes to the front all, And wit h guns horizontal, Stood our sires; And the halls whistled deadly, And in streams flashed redly Blazed the fires: As the roar On the shore Swept the strong battle breakers Ter the green sodded acres Of the plain; And louder, louder, louder, Cracked the black gnn-pouder Cracking amain! Now like smiths at their forges Worked the red St. Georg Cannoniers; And the "villainous salt-petre" Rung a fierce discordant metre Round our ears; As the swift Storm drift, With hot sweeping anger, Came the horse guards clangor On our flanks, Then higher, higher, higher, Burned the old fashioned lire Through the ranks! Then the old fashioned Colonel Galloped through the white infernal. Powder cloud; And his broad sword was swinging, And his brazen throat was ringing Trumpet loud. 'Then the blue Bullets flew And the trooper jackets redden At the tough of the leaden ttrtte areata. And rounder, rounder, rounder, Roared the iron six -pounder Hurling death. WHAT A SUIT OF CLOTHS DID. "Mother," sail George Maxwell. "there's a poor boy in our school who [ wish had some of my clothes. The boys iu the school gall him Pinch, he looks so pinched; but he is real clean —his knees and elbows well patched. He was dreadfully cold in school to— day, I know he was, he kept shivering so." "The poor do not suffer half so much from the cold as we think for." said his aunt, "they get used to it." "Let's see you try it," said George. "Hush my son," said his mother. "!Yell, mother, just a8 if flesh and blood woul I not feel such weather as this, with only a strip of cloth between them. Aunt is covered with flannel from head to foot; there is no wonder she doesn't know what cold is." George anti his aunt were not apt to agree, an 1 the worst of it was they did nut agree to disagree. "What is the boy's name beside Ptuch," asked his mother. "Jed. Little. I guess he bas no father, and I don't know where he lives. I only know he is a good fel— low, and looks pitiful this weather." "Well," said Mrs. Maxwell, "if you can do anything for him, I shall be very glad to have yon." "Good," cried George turning to his hook again: "before to -morrow night I'll take the shiver out of poor Jed. if I can." He could now study better. Jed was not at school the next fore— noon. George asked where he lived. None of the boys knew—none, at least that he asked. After school the mas— ter told him, and away he scampered to find him. It was an old block of buildings in the other part of the town, which he made hie business to search through and through when he got there. Presently there was a tap at one of the basement windows, and spied Jed'e face at oue of the squares. '•Hallo," he oried. Jed came to the door and peeped out. "Where are you bound down there," he asked. "Looking up you, old fellow. replied George. "Mother is lining my trousers, and I have got nothing to wear while she is doing it," said the boy, "I cannot go out, so you come in." George went into the little room where the Littles lived, a poor widow with four children, whom the long and severe winter was pinching to the very extent of their scanty meals. Such a box of a stove, George thought, and about a porringer of potatoes. Jed with old summer pants on, and a blan— ket over his shoulders; while his moth- er was basting strips of flannel in his school trousers, and they the beet he had. It was the reality of poverty which he seldom saw. $1 "I just thought I would hunt yon np, Jed," he said, making as if to go. for he felt ashamed of his thick coat beside bis poor half-clad school mate. "Thank you ever so mach for corn— ing, it's gond in you. Why, you see I almost froze in school yesterday, and mother did not want me to go till she bad time to fix me. She sews for the shop, and has to sew for us by peace meal. I wish 'twas always summer, George, like the tropics geography tells about." "Poor Jed," said George to him— self. as he ran home. 'Poor fellow." "Mother," he cried, as be bounded into the room with glowing cheeks, "1 want to make up a bundle of my cloths for Jed Little, ,ittiek, mother, quick." "It is dinner time," sail the aunt. "Dinner," cried the eager boy "what I care about dinner when poo Jed Little is ironing? But his motile quieted his impetuosity until after din- ner, when she went up stairs with him, and gave him leave to select a full end complete snit for the poor boy. George shouldered his bundle, and took his hand a tin pail full of dinner to the destitute family. "You are a good boy,' said his aunt. "Good, 1 am not good; I've not got a spark of goodness in me," cried he. "My child, how you speak to your aunt," said his mother, gently laving her hand upon his head. eI know it mother" he answered in a gentler tone, "Oh I know it, and it is rough in tae. Aunt, will you forgive me for speaking so?" "Go," said his aunt and mother, both smiling. "I have had a good visit," said George on bis return, bringing home a serious, thoughtful and softened look with him "Jed could not speak, he only looked and looked, his mother did the thanking. I did not want thanks, only it seemed to do her goo,!. Jed grabbed my hand when I came off. and squeezed it so. "sone titne or or other," said he—and that was all be could say." Twenty years or more passed away and a poor miner was taken from one of the Sacramento boats and landed at San Francisco. Poor, friendless, and sick, he was scarcely able to walk, and sank down on a box under a shed. In the hurry nobody noticed him, or noticing him, or noticing him, thought it worth while to inquire into his mis— fortunes. At last, when the bustle be- gan to lull, • oonple of noon gams along. "There's that poor fellow," they said, he's never likely to see his home again." "Who is it?" asked a third. "I don't know his name," answered one. "Maxwell, I think," said the other. "Maxwell, a down easter." The name arrested the attention of a stranger who stood on the wharf looking over an invoice of goods.— ",Maxwell," he looked up and said ''Maxwell, where?" They pointed him to the sick man, who seemed to have fallen asleep. He went towards him. "A good deal older than any Maxwell I ever knew," he said. "Maxwell, Maxwell," he repeated half aloud, and the name seemed to flood him with memories which took him far, far back to kis boyhood again. "Maxwell," he said again, and again was drawn to the poor miner. "Your name is Maxwell," he said, seeing him awake. "That is my name, sir—George Maxwell," answered the man, "wreck— on a forlorn coast." "George Maxwell, exclaimed the stranger, grasping the miner's thin hand in his, right honest, healthy grip, "11od bless you. And who am I but Jed Little, able to carry a dozen of you on my back. Come, come; my home is your home. It is all summer with me now, and you shall share my summer with me,. George Maxwell." Who can describe the meeting, or the wonderful faithfulness of God's providence whereby a bundle of old clothes planted twenty-five years ago, yielded such an abundant harvest— friendship, food, hope, shelter, medi- cine, and a prospect of better business than mining could ever be to one so delicately brought up as George Max— well had been. THE SHADES OF LAUGHTER. Since Adam, who invented laughter —doubtless when he awoke and saw Eve by his side—no two men have laughed alike. The laugh is as dis- tinct 118 the voice; perhaps more so, for the laugh of a full bearded man is very different from that which he 'laughs when he has been cleanly shaven by a barber. Women laugh differently from men, children from women, and dome writers even profess to detect national peculiarities in the laugh; as for in— stance, say they, the Frenchman laughs with his teeth, like the apes. The Abbe Damasceni thought that he lied discovered, in the varione onnnciations of laughter, a sure guide to the- tem- perament of the laughers. Thus he said Ba ha ha belonged to a choleric man, He he he to the phlegmatic, Hi hi to the tnelancholic, and Ho ho r ho to the sanguine. It is true that mon r I laugh commonly in A and 0. and wo- men in E and 1; and it is singular that with all people, even the cockneys, the aspirate II proceeds the vowel. The Benefits of Laughter.—However the would•be-great men pretend to scorn laughter, it remains true that a good laugher is ever an honest fellow; and that laughter is good for the health, we have an old proverb to prove: Laugh and grow fat. Think of honest Jack Falstaff, of Sancho Panza, of Dr. Slop —all fat, and dearly beloved. "When a man smiles, and much more when he langhs, it adds something to his fragment of life," say Sterne—who wished laughter enumerated in the materia medics, as an English physic— ian used to prescride to his patients suffering from melancholy "34 pp. Peregrine Pickle;" and the greet Syd enham maintained that the arrival of a clown in a village was as wholesome as that of twenty donkeys laden with drugs. Tissot, the famous French physician, cured consumption and liver complaints by causing his patient to laugh; Erasmus, through immoderate laughter at the rude Latin of Hutten'a "Letters of Obscure Men," broke an intotnal abscess which had long plagued him; and one of the Abderites was so grateful for his health, restored by laughter at the whimseys of a donkey, that he took the name Onogelastes, and called his son Onoblus, and his grand- son Onomemnon. Honest laughter is a curative of the same kind as cough— ing, sneezing. and perhaps vomiting— only pleasanter than any of these; and a cheerful frame of mind has kept many a trtveler in sound health when his cotnpanions were dying around him. Stedman, the explorer of Suri- nam, says that he escaped all the di. seases of that deadly climate by bathing, singing, laughing, and "God forgive me," he adds, "cursing," whioh last I by no means recommed. A HINT THAT MAY BE GENERALLY TAKER.—A friend informs us, says the Boston Journal that at a concert which took place in a town that shall be nameless, last Friday evening, a gen• tleman in the audience rose up just as the third piece on the programme had been performed, and said: "Mr. Con— ductor, will you oblige me, sir, by re— questing your vocalists to sing louder or sing in whispers, aa there is a con— versation going on close by where I sit, that is conducted in each loud tone as to entirely hinder my enjoyment of of the music. I prefer, certainly, to hear the concert, but if I cannot be so privileged, I desire to hear the oanver- cation." There was an extremely quiet and attentive audience in the hall dur— ing the rest of the evening. A' One who is half man and half dog, will bow to the rich man and bow. wow to the poor. SHAMROCK AND FORGET'i(E-NOT.— The Shamrock, the national emblem of one of Britaiu'e fairest, but most en. slaved, isles, has its Christian• legend thus: "St. Patrick, unable to compre— hend the meaning of the word Trinity, dispairingly cast his eyes on the ground in prayer for some means whereby he might "lighten the gentiles," when, spy- ing the little trefoil -shamrock at his feet, he plucked it and holding it up on high, pointed to the three leaves on one stem as the emblem of his doctrine, to the easy comprehension of his listen— ers." To that beautiful little flower, the Forget me -not, with its blue, like the tints of a summer flower. and its gold— en eyes, bright as hope, is attached a legend known to tneat of our readers, though it will not be amiss to repeat it. A German knight, with his lady, love, was walking on the banks of the Danube, when the fair one saw a tuft of the myosotis in the stream, and ex— pressed her wish for it. With all chiv- alrous alrcrity, the knight, in full array plunged in and gathered the prize, but the eddies of that treacherous river drew him down in their fatal grasp; and sinking, he threw the flowers on shore to his distracted mistress, with the well known words, "Fergie ,nein nicht!" "Forget-me-not." THE PRESIDENT.s REPLY TO THE REBEL LADIES.—Yesterday a lady and her daughter called on the President and stated that they resided: beyond Alexandria, and were subjecttto many annoyances from the soldiers. They would be very much obliged to him if he would detail a guard to protect them. They had taken the oath to the South— ern Confederacy, they were sure, not. withstanding, that Mr. President would be so kind as to resume the proteetion with whioh they bad been furnished. Mr. Lincoln heard them "patiently, " Well, madam," said he, "we have been protecting the property of South— erners some time with our soldiers, but you continue to shoot them, never. theless; and now we have abandoned it; it did not pay us." The young lady, who was a firm looking girl, drew her— self up, and with her mother bid the President good morning and hurriedly retired.—Wath. Cor. N. Y. Cent.

Dr. Hunt of Buffalo, now stationed of Newport News, gives the following instance of that form of home sickness which becomes insanity. In a letter he narrates an effecting and painfully touching case, thus: You have learned, perhaps, of that form of camp home -sickness which de- velopes itself into insanity, and is writs ten down in the books as nostralgia. It ie a singular and painfully interest— ing mental phenomenon. One of them only has been fully developed ander my eye. The man came here almost entirely recovered from fever. and claiming himself to be entirely well, re. fusing medicines and talking very ra— tionally about everything but home. Day after day, as the boat came up to the dock, he would pack his knapsack quietly, say goodbye to his ward -mates, and march down to wharf only to be disappointed and find out, as he more forcibly than elegantly expressed it, that "it was not the right boat—it was another d—d boat." At nights in his sleep he talked continuously of wife and child; day times he said little, but finally made a confidant of me, and said that all night and all day he dream- ed and thought of home, and some— times, perhaps, it made him light head. ed. He had been a year in the service, and always gay and happy up to the period of this recent illness. His family live in New York, and one morning I had the happiness to see Charlie march down to the boat with his neatly slung knapsack; and it was the tight boat that time. He has been home a fortnight now, and I have no doubt will return to hie regiment a good soldier. To have kept him here would have ended, probably, in sui— cide. HENRY WARD BEECHER ON Niews. terms.—Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in the course of a sermon in the Plym- outh Church, Brooklyn, last Saturday night, made an eloquent plea for news papers, speaking of them as one of the most potent elements of our civiliza— tion. "There is," eaid he, "a common vulgar objection about newspapers that 'they lie' so; they don't lie any more than you do. Man is naturally a lying creature. Truth is a 'gift from Heaven, and very few of us possess it before they get there. The newspaper gives both facts and rumors, and they would be blamed if they did not do so. It is for the reader to judge of these rumors. The last economy should be in regard to newspapers. It is better to deprive the body of some ribbon or jewel or garment, than to deprive the mind of its sustenance." CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE — Several years ago, and soon after the "anti•1i. cense law" carne into force in the Green Mountain State, a traveler stopped at a hotel and asked for a glass of bran— dy. "Don't keep it," said the landlord; "forbidden by the law to sell liquor of any kind." "The duse yon aro," retorted the stranger, inoredulonsly. "Such is the fact," replied the hest; "the house don't keep it." "Then bring your own bottle," said the traveler, with decision; "you need- n't pretend to me that you keep that face of yours in repair on water." The landlord laughed heartily, and brought his private bottle. WASHINGTON AT WATERL00.—"My dearly beloved bearers," said a very popular preacher, lown South, when haranguing them on the importance of perseverance and fortitude during the present war. "you must do like Gen. Washington done at the battle of Wa- terloo. In the heat of the skirmish his horse was killed by a British can— non ball. Did Washington give up his horse to the enemy? Not he. He sung at the top of his voice, "A horse, a horse! my kingdom for a horse." A horse was brought him by Frank Mar ion, and he drove the British from the field, and secured the liberty of South Carolina. BE HAPPY Now.—This forever look- ing forward for enjoyment, don't pay. From what we know of it, we would as soon chase butterflies for a living, or bottle up moonshine for cloudy nights. The only true happiness is to take the drops of happiness as God gives them to ue, every day of our lives. The boy must learn to be happy when he is plodding over his lessons; the appren— tice when he is learning bis trade; the merchant while he is making his for. tune. If he fails to learn this art, he will be sure to miss his enjoyment when he gains what he sighs for. . A GOOD STORY..—When the brave Col. Charley Campbell, of the artillery corps of the Pennsylvania reserves, was before a military board of examiners, composed of West Point graduates, they asked him what he would do with his battery if the enemy was in froot, flank- ing him on the right and left, and ap- proaohing his rear? He turned to hie examiners, and with the utmost cool. nese replied : "I would do like you did at Bull Run --•run like the devil 1" AT Little girls believe in a man in the moon -young ladies believe in a man in the honeymoon. tar A capital story is told us of an old farmer in the northern part of this county, who had been "saving up" to take up a mortgage of $2,000 held against him by a man nearer the sea shore. The farmer Fad saved np all the money in gold, fearing to trust the banks in these war times. Week be— fore last, he lagged down his gold and, paid it over, when the following colloquy ensued: "Why you don't mean to give this $2,000 in gold, do you?" said the len— der. "Yee, certainly," said the farmer, "I was afraid of the iesky banks, so I've been saving up the money, in yellow boys for yon this long time." "All right," responded the lender, "only I thought you didn't take the pa. pers, that's all." "Take the papers! No sir, not I. They have gone on so since the war`s been going that I won't have one of the d—lish things about. But the money is all right isn't its" "Yes, all right, $2,000 in gold. AlI right, here is your note, and your wort. gage." And well he might have called it all right, as the premium on gold that day was 22 per cent, and his gold was not only worth the face of the bond, but $440 besides, enough to have paid for his village newspapers for himself and posterity for at least three centuries. It pays to take the papers.—Nortoalk (Conn.) Gazette.

Saunders to purchase ono thousand horses for the use of the mounted regi- ment which has been called by the Governor for service against the Indi- ans. This is welcome intelligence, and will put a stop to the evil or the necessity for pressing them which has been muck in veguo of late. INDIAN FIGHT.—Capt. Strout, who was sent out to the relief of Fort Aber- eromb ie, was attacked by the Indians while in the vicinity of Forest City, and three men killed and several wounded. The Captain was able to repulse the enemy, though he lost his train. The Indians appear in heavy bodies along the entire line of our north- western border.

SECRETARY OF WAIL. Upon the supposition that Secretary Stanton's resignation has been accepted, 'it will strike alike every candid reader that the appointment of Geo. Haileck or some other capable military man, is the very best thing that could be done. The position of Secretary of war, look- ing to precedent, has during more than half the period since the organization of' the present Government, been filled by military men, and during the re- maining period by men of pro -eminent ability and statesmanship. During the presidency of Gen. Washington, Gen. Knox and Col. Pickering filled the secretaryship, both military men of Revolutionary experience and tried ability. At other times, James Mon- roe, John Armstrong, Henry Dearborn and L3wis Cass, have administered the department—all of them men of mil- itary experience. Among the list of civilians who have been secretaries of war, occur the names of each men as John March,!!—afterwards Chief Jus- tice of the United States—John Mc• Henry, Samuel Dexter, William H. Crawford, John C. Calhoun, and Wm. L. Marcy, men all of whom have oc- cupied a large space in the public eye, and of the very best ability this coun- try has ever produced. This array shows clearly to the un- prejudiced mind two facts: that all of our Presidents regarded the office as requiring for its administration, great ability and weight of character; and se:ondly: that some of the best of our Presidents, Washington first among the number, believed it to require, in addition, military talent and experience. BATTLE OF BIRCH COOLIE. Capt. Grant, of Company A, Sizth Regiment, arrived in St. Paul Satur day morning, on business connected with the welfare of the members of hie company. He gives many interesting particulars which wo publish: The first knowledge they bad of the presence of Indiana, was a terrific vol ley from three or four hundred mus- kets, which penetrated to all parts of the camp, killingand wounding the horses, entering the tents, etc. This occuried just at the gray of dawn, before it was light enough to see the second sight on the guns; and this circumstance ac- counts for the fact that so few com- paratively were injure,, when so many shots were fired, they being generally aimed too high. The Indians poured their volleys from all sides but one, evidently in- tending to drive the men out of the camp in that direction, and then come forward and seize the horses and plun- der, while at the same time, as it after- wards appeared, they had a party stn• tioned on the prairie to cut to pieces the men as they ran to make their es- cape—a very good plan, but which the steadiness of the men at this sod len fire entirely frustrated. Scarcely a man flinched from his duty, and many were clamorous to charge upon their unseen foe. As soon as possible the men selected such positions behind the wagons and dead horses as afforded a slight pro- tection, and returned the fire of their assailants, and with such a steady aim that many a rod -skin was made to bite the dust.

A young and interesting The firing continued without cessa- daughter of George L. Sickle, a re- tion till abont nine o'clock in the morn ing, when it began to slack gradually, which enabled Capt. Grant to entrench a little, but if a man exposed himself ever so little he was euro to be shot at; and the only way they succeeded in finishing their earthworks was for a portion of the boys to watch while the others excavated, and when a redskin raised up his head to take a sure aim, the cry of "down, down," brought all flat upon the ground, and the shot parte ed harmless over their heads. The fighting continued in this manner till the going down of the moon near mid night, when the Indians took advan- tage of the darkness to carry away their dead. Early in the morning of Wednealay the firing was renewed, and continued during the morning. At this time the commander of the Souix called out in the Dakota language to the half-breeds, some seven or eight, in Capt. Grant's force, to leave the whites, and they would be protected; that the Indjans did not desire the blood of the mixed breed, they only wanted that of the whites; that they wore going to charge immediately on the cam and put ev- ery person to death, &c. This was heard by all the half-breeds, and by Major Joe. R. Brown, who translated it for Capt. Grant. Of course none of the half-breeds attempted to leave. Soon after this the cannon ander Col, Sibley's command was heard to speak, and an Indian horseman came rapidly up to their commander or head chief, and was overheard by Major Brown to tell him that two miles of whites were coming to the relief of Capt. Grant. The Indiana were then ordered all to go and attack Col. Sib- ley, with the exception of a small par ty that was to stay and watch Capt. Grant. The Indians went off with a yell, but on nearing Col. Sibley's force, they were saluted by shot and schrapnell from the battery of Mark Hendricks, and were wise enough to keep at a safe distance. Col, Sibley soon after came up and relieved Capt. Grant's force from the perilous .position they had been in for thirtyestx hours without food or sleep. spectablc farmer living a short distance from the village, who had been for some time receiving the attentions of a young man mauled George Drake, also respectably connected, was induced to take an evening ride with him, du- ring which Drake administered a drug for criminal purposes. After suffering such agony that her screams were heard wherever they passed along, she was at a late hour taken to her home by the villain, in a speechless condition, and died in a few hours, without regaining her powers to speak to hergriefstrick- frien ls. 17- the rational debt, on July 1st, 1862, including all liabilities known at the Treasury Department, which em- braces demand Treasury notes, certifi• cates of indebtedness and temporary loans, was five hundred and eleven. -- millions. On that day there were sev- en millions in the treasury subject to draft, leaving the balance of debt fivo hundred and four millions in round numbers. Sixty millions of this is old debt, and the present Secretary has paid for old treasury notes and inter- est on the funded debt twenty-one mil- lions. The expenditure, therefore on all accounts, from March 4, 1861, to July 1, 1862, is four hundred and twenty-three millions. This amonut divided by four hundred and eighty days gives -the total expenditure per diem at eight hundred and eighty-one thousand, two hundred and fifty dol- lars. The liabilities not known on 00 diose claims that had not yet reach ed the treasury are not included iu this statement. t A Richmond paper insists that Washington must be captured and "annihilated!" This is the only thing that can secure peace, according to the Richmond writer. The very extrava- gance of the threat against Washing- ton proves how desperate the rebels are becoming. .Teff. Davie himself and his military advisers are getting reck- less also, as is shown ly the official order directing that Gen. Hunter and General Phelps, if captured, are to be executed as felons, because they have armed negroes. This is like the va- rious orders and threats against Gen. Butler'and Gen. Pone, from the same quarter. They all show a weak and deelioing cause, which has to be kept up in a factitious way by bullying and bluster. Bar The citizens of Boston rospons ded on -the 31st ult., in a noble and patriotic manner to the call made up- on them to furnish articles of oomfort for our wounded and dying soldiers. -- Contributions of money, as well as stores were freely given. The amount of cash collections was 85,218 84, be- sides eight oar loads of articles for hospital use. In most of the churches there was a very brief service, consist- ing chiefly of an earnest, fervent, elo- quent prayer, followed by an equaliy sincere exhortation for the congrega- tions to at once repair to their homes to furnish the called -for supplies. The lesson was improved with an enthusi• nem which exhibited alike patriotism and Christianity. tar The Attorney General of Mass- achusests concludes a letter on the en- rollment of colored citizens as fol- lows: "The authorities of Massachusetts have no more right to diminish its quo- ta of troops by refusing to enroll black men than they would hare to reduce the age at which the obligation of mil- itary service terminates from forty-five to forty years. The only possible question now open is, whether colored men are citizens of Massachusetts, which no one, I presume, will have the hardihood to deny, inasmuch .as they are tax -payers. voters, jurors, and eli- gible to office; and there is no inequal- ity founded upon distinction of races known to onr laws." O. Ohio has transported 3,000 sick and wounded soldiers, from Pitts- burg Landing and 'elsewhere in the Tennessee Valley, at an expense to the State treasury of e41,000. Eleven steamers viers employed. The dis- tance from Pittsburg Landing to gin- cinnati, by river, is about 1,400 miles. THE GREAT QUESTION. Robert Dale Owen, of Indiana; a Democrat of the strictest seat bithurto, and very coneervative on the alavery question in times past, has written a letter to Secretary Stanton, on the pol- icy of emancipation. It ie one of the most forcible arguments yet presented on the subject: How can the, war be quickly and ef- fectively terminated. What guaranty is sufficient that it will not be resum- ed 1 Gradually, vets gradually, as this contest proceeded, ,have I been ap- proaching the conviction that there is bat one such guaranty: the emancipa- tion of negro slaves throughout this continent. Perhaps; but as to this I am less certain—that measure is the only sure means of terminating, qnickly and effectually, this war. The recent reverse under Generol McClellan, the scattered rebel fires daily bursting forth in States which our forces had already overrun, the fact that we are fighting against brave men of our own race, all increase the probability that we viust degrive the South of a legal right to its four millions of laborers, before we can suc- ceed ngainst their masters in a reason- able time and in an effectual man• ner. I ani not an advocate of revolution- ary short cuts out of a difficulty. I am not in favor of violating the constitu- tion by way escaping danger. There might bo imnstliateadtentage, but the precedent is replete with peril. Could slavety have been abolished by Northern action while peace yet ex- isted between the North and South, without a violation of the constitution? in other words, w ithout a revolutionary act? Clearly not. Can slavery be eradicated now, in war, without such violation? If emancipation be neces- sary to insure the permanent peace and safety of our Government, and if wo are willing to pay to all loyal slave own- ers a reasonable price for their slaves, clearly yes. For no principle in law is better es= tablished than this, that when impor- tant public intersts demand°it, private property may be taken, at a fair ap- prisement, for public use. The open- ing of a street in improving a city. the running of a railroad, are held, in this and other civilized countries, to be ob- jects of sufficieut importauce to justify what the French law calls "appropri- ation forcee pour cause d'utilite publi- que. But of importance how utterly trivial is the opening of a street or of a rails road compared to the preservation, in its integrity, of the greatest republic upon earth Ought we to declare general eman- cipation, coupled with a provision for the payment, to all loyal slaveholders, of the fairly apprised value of their slaves? This question resolves itself into another: !lave things gone so far that the Union, in its peaceful integrity, and negro slavery within its borders, can no longer co exist? That is the great question rf the day. I think it roust be answered, oven now, in the affirmative. Fiery moot!! tb t paseoa is converting hundreds of thous:utds of moderate and conservative peace loving men to the same opinion. They de spair of sectional friendship or national peace, until the teeming cause of mor tal hatred and civil war is rooted out forever. PROSPECT FOR THE FUTURE. * * In view of all these facts, we ask if the rebels have any promise in the future? Every thinking man in the country will give a negative an- swer, in view of tiro determinaticu of the Governrnent to throw its best and most powerful energies into the future prosecution of the war. All leniency is to be laid aside, and wo are to have no. more "playing at arms." Depend upon it, traitors will be roughly hand- led in the future. The slave power in this cnuntry, is dead; slavery must be a nominal insti- tution at the close of the war, and it is believed that the great doctorine of the Declaration of Independence, "that all men are born free and eqnal," will be practically adopted in this country, then at least. The question of our ultimate success. has never been considered a problem of intricacy, for in the Northern States we have nineteen millions of inhabitants, and in the South we know there are but eight millions, and, in addition to this, the United States have a great preponderance of means for carrying on a war of considerable magnitude for years. The secret of onr ill success has been a want of harmony and force in onr grand plan of operations, a lack of celerity in execution, a want of mil- itary foresight in failing to follow up advantages gained, and and exhibition of magnanimous leniency towards the rebels, which the history of the extin- guishment of other unlawful uprisings of refractory portions of a people have proved fallacious. This was deemed necessary and earnestly advocated by our ablest statesmen as conducive of a return of fraternal affection among those in rebellion, and tending to harmonize parties in the North, among whose more or less sympathy for the South was evident, either from personal busi- ness interests' or from a former commit- ment to certain political principles.— Phil.

From a correspondent who has just returned from Poolesville, . we learn that on Thursday night the rebels'com- menced to cross with cavalry at or near the month of the Monocacy. They brought over Iwo regiments of cavalry and threw over a pontoon bridge and crossed with artillery, and threw out pickets towards Poolesville. On Friday about 11 o'clock a col- umn of infantry and artillery commenc- ed to cross. They were crossing in three places besides the bridge, the wa- ter being up to a man's waist, and no resistance being offered to their cross- ing. 'Some cavalry who were near them were attacked and chased. The gorges were closed and the streets block ailed by the citiz^ns. 'The farmers fired upon our flying, cavalry as they passed about dusk: Gen. Lee rode into Poolesville at the head of four regiments of infantry, and guided by a farmer who had been professedly a Union man. Their in- fantry went off to the left, toward Fred- erick. Their wagon trains were crossing on Saturday and Sunday morning. The farmers are bringing in hay and provisions of all kinds and giving them atvay. There is not a loyal man, with one or two exceptions, there. Women received them with flags and tokens of joy. The rebel force in the neighborhood of Darnstown, estimated at 3,000, is cotnposed entirely of cavalry. A body of the enemy about 1,500 strong crossed the river last night at White's Ferry, and are supposed to be en route to Frederick. Our forces hold the bridge across Seneca Creek, which was not injured by the rebels on their return from the recent dash on Darnstown. It has been ascertained that Jackson crossed the Potomao opposite the north mouth of the bank of the Monocacy, and passed along the bank of the stream to Frederick, A rebel picket captured near Clarks- burg to -day, says Jackson's force is 45,000. A correspondent at Port Royal un- der date of the 2d inst, gives a report that a large steamer, supposed to be the Nashville,' had been burnt by the rebels in Savannah River, on the pre- ceding Sunday morning. She got aground within range of the guns of Fort Pulaski, while attempting 'to run out early in the morning, and being unable to get her off, the rebels were forced to burn ger to prevent her falling into our hands. 'Vvsiiisorote, Sept. 8 --A gentle- man just returned from the lato battle field, states that quite a number of hacks pressed into service Satnrday week for the purpose of conveying the wounded to this city, are still on the battle field, the rebels having taken the horses, and thus preventing them from returning home. An escaped prisoner who was iu the hands of cLo r•bci8 fnnr ctny, c..y, all the Federal forces at Frederick fell back to llarper's Ferry, but before do- ing so had, Thursday night, burned the hospital and commissary stores, and re moved the sick and wounded. Intelligence received here last night and additionally confirmed this morn- ing, of the occupation cf Frederick City, Maryland, by the rebel forces, oat urally excited touch surprise, mingled with alarm. Therewas but limited opportunities for obtaining information from that quarter, almost all the intel- ligence coming by way of Baltimore. Last night immense -bodies of our troops were in from the Upper Potomac'° and elsewhere, and to -day military op- erations continue. -['here is no doubt that largo rein- forcements of rebels were yesterday passing from Ashby's, south of Lees- burg, as if intending to cross at Snick- er's Ferry, which is between Point of Rocks and eastward from the rebels, mounted in solid columns—first caval- ry, next artillery, then infantry, with their beggage. Again, followed in the enure order by similar description of troops. The people of the Valley bare con- tributed to to the subsistence of the reb- els, end doubtless furnishes then with all needed information. Nothing has been heard from out troops at Harp er's Ferry and Martains burg who are cut off from reinforces rnents by the movement of the rebels towards Frederick. From a gentleman's conversation with rebel soldiers he derived the iofonna• tion that one of their objects is to des stroy the Western Central Pennsylvan- ia railroad and otherwise operate in that state, and having ulterior designs on Washington and Baltimore. Agr The news from Kentucky. and East Tennessee, is about as bad as it could well be. The report that it had been determined to evacuate Louisville, needs confirmation. But that both that city and Cincinnatti are seriously menanced admits of no doubt, and it may indeed turn out that we shall be compelled to make the Ohio River the line of our defence until we can make new levies of troops available for the renewal of aggressive warefare. ,CI- It is a remarkable fact that there is nota General of Irish or Ger- man birth in the rebel army. They have no Meagher, or Shields, Corco- ran, or !Mulligan, O'Brien, or Basteed —no Sigel, or Heintzleman, or Blen- ker, or Schurz, under the flag of the rattlesnake and scorpion—the "stars and bars." igr Gen. T. W. Sherman has sailed for New (`rleana to eupercede Gen. I Phe'ips. REBELLION AT TIIE LAST GA,P —'Tile .ebels are in movement along their en- tire line, from the Atlantic to the Mis- sissippi•. The attack' mentioned this morning as reprised by the Union troops at Bolivar, the previously repor- ted defeat of Gen. Nelson, the advance of Bragg toward Western Virginia, the tbreetened investment of Fort Don- elson, are parts of the same dating strl gy which places the main army of t e bellion in front of Washington. Me explanation of this unwonted ac- tivity, aad also of its apparent delay to the last moment, is obvious. The rebels. as their journals had no -hesita- tion in declaring, never believed in the possibility of the Federal Government placing in the field the additional six hundred thousand men called for as volunteers and conscripts. The North was believed to be weary of the war. All the paupers who could be hited to fill the ranks had been obtained; there was no further material for volunteers; and as for the draft it would meet with resistance alulc:st everywhere. Under these circumstances the Confederate lea:.'.ers ren, i, d tranquilly on the defensive, until their error became plain. Then, to strike before those six hundred thousand men should take the field, to extinguish the forces al- ready a -foot, and carry the war as far as practicable from their own territory. became the indispensable policy; and this general onslaught was planed, as we see it in course of execution.— What is apparently an exhibition of daring enterprise, is therefore nothing more than sheer desperation—the ag- onies, in fact, of dissolution. They aro dootued, and they knots it.—lV. Y. Times. ti• The Savannah News coments as follows on the rumor that 'General Mc - Cook's suldiers had killed seventeen partisan rangers to avenge his mur- der: If "It is said", docs not lie, this will prove the worst day's work "his soldiers'' ever performed, as our scouts will string them rip like Weathersfield onions in retaliation for the outrage.— When Billy Bowlegs was informer that General Marney was corning atter him, and that Harney would hang him when taken, Billy is said coolly (lo have replied: "Em'hem ! Barney catch, Billy hang; Billy catch, lIarncy hang." Our war is coming to that very fast. -7 - It is a game at which two can play and in which we have, not only e,lua opportunity, brit certainly all the right on our side. The sooner it is undet- stood that the rules of Christian war- fare aro to be utterly disregarded, the better for us. We should have com- menced hanging thieves, insurrection- ists and murderers long ago. The Great Eastern had a hole knocked in her bottom by the rocks in New York harbor, and they think it doubtful if she can be repaired in this country.

The neatrality of the British Gov- ernment is real so far as this, that it does notgive direct and honest aid toby the rebel'ion. But that the governing classes of England sympathize warmly with the rebels and bre giving them most efficient het is manifest anon h. P g There ve aeleare war in our now two rsointhelrnsrwatera ginning their work of piracy, both of which have recently been built at Liverpool, for the rebel government. they are the Ovieto and the "No 290." Both were built by Mr. Laird, amen- ber of the British Parliament, with the full knowledge that they were designed for the rebel navy. The Tuscarora watched for the latter off Liverpool, but it eluded its viligance, and ie now afloat, having obtained its armament at Nassau, she British headquarters and arsenal of the rebellion. So thorough- o ly is the port of Nassau occupied as a depot of arms and supplies for the reb- els that its destruction would be a heavier blow to the rebellion than the loss of any southern ports. And now our gunboat Tuscarora is driven out of • the British ports, that there my be no obstruction in the way of free trade in arms w.th the rebels. These facts are notorious ,and yet the English Gov- ernment is neutral, and takes on airsfac;iit;es for forbearance and magnanimity. If the neutrality were anything more y y g than superficial and formal, Great Brit ain would find moans to prevent her P own own citizens from supplying the rebels with an ironclad navy, there can be no doubt. The stubborn fact is that Englieh naval architects are putting afloat an iron -clad fleet to destroyour commerce• , that we have of to meet upon the seas . g P not such a navy as the rebels can ea• temporize, but such as the bust t P flies f anti experience of their English allies e'en furnish them, and it becomes us to hasten to completion the iron•clads P now building, and to build those still more powerful, if these are not aufli cient. It is also a thought and must occur to every man, that if England es a neutral is to equip navies and furn- ish arms and munitions to the rebels, the situation cannot be much worse ify she should decide upon armed inter- vention in their behalf. She furnishes them already pretty much everything but men.—Springfield Rep. LATE News.—We have nothing very definite about operations on the Potomac.

It is gratifying to their pride to give the tone at Washington, but will that compensate for the forced sale of their cattle and horses for confederate notes? This is the day of desolation for the semi secesh of the border States be- road all previous days. The seonrge of a ar moves grimly over them, and it will burn and destro as terribly there Y as it has done in that great seat of war, Virginia. A. siren song is sung for an hour or two by Lee at Frederick, but the flash of rage will speedily follow,' and in it the border State confidant will very likel be blasted as others have y been blasted.

All the supplies having been removed from this place to Corinth, it is deem- ed useless to hold the post longer. Ac cordingly the army marched on the 17th, to Corinth, to resume its old position in the second division. Tho ' last steamer of the mighty fleet that has floated on the Tennessee since the fall of Fort Henry, now lies at the levee —the Baton Rouge—a small stern wheel boat, owned by Dumont & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio.

We must utter our ro- test, however, against the wholesale de- ounciations of the Englishpress against g this Province. They are calculated to do no good and ma do an infinite g ' y deal of harm, such retaliation as that the Dispatch suggests, as an in • fliction upon this Province for its short- comings in the matter of defenoe, is simply absurd. While money is theall but a drugin the English market,Shar good investments for capital which this Province affords will not be lost sight of in Groat Britain. Indeed, the prob- ability is that there will be more Brit- capital invested here for some time come than there has been in the past. inthe present disturbed state of the neighboring country, British capital- tats will be desirous, whenever it is practicable, to tranefertheir investments from the States to Cauda, No ver y speedy change in this respeet may be at present; but that such will be the ultimate effect of the war there is no reason to doubt.

The papers contain long editorials on it. In the course of one the Whig says:noticeable 9 "We have every right to eapeet that her people will not only be prepared to fightthey in our cause,but that will cheerfully contribute all their power to the support of our army. Should they remain apathetic at this ci isis it may y be regarded as a proof of their indiffer- ease, if not hostility. At length the opportunity for Maryland has arrived. Our armies have defeated and chased the invader from oar soil. The barrier of the Potomac has been crossed and the victoroue banner of the Confeder• acy waves over the soil of Maryland. The time for patriotic songs and senti— mental sympathy bas passed, and the hour for action has arrived."

The subscribers now only ask a trial of Dr.J.Bovee Dod's Imperial Wine Bitters from all who have not used near. We ehal lenge the world to produce their equal.

To be assured of this, it is only necessary to make the trial The Wine itself is of a very superior quality, being about one third stron- ger than other wines; warming and iiivigor. ating the whole system from the head to the feet. As these Bitters are tonic and altera- tive in their character, so they strengthen and invigorate the whole system and give a fine tone aud healthy action to all its parts, by equalizing the eireulation, removing ob- structions, and producing a general warmth. They are also excellent for diseases and weak - nes peculiar to Females, where a tonic is required to strengthen and brace the system.

They are . pure and eutirely free from the poisons contained in the adulter- ated Wines and Liquors with Woieli the country is flooded. These Bitters not only Cure, but Prevent Disease, and should be ueed by all who live in a country where the water is bad, or where Chills and Fevers are prevalent. Being en- tirely innoceut and harmless, they may be given freely to Children and infants with im• punitv.

DR. J BOVEE DODS' IMPERIAL- WINE BITTERS are prepared by an , eminent physician who has used them succesefully in his practice for the last twenty-five years. The proprietor, before purchasing the exclusivs ight to man- ufacture and sell Dr. J. Bowe Dods' Celebra- ted Imperial Wine Bitters, had them tested by two distinguished medical practitioners who pronounced them a valuable remedy for disease. Although the medical men of the country, as a general thing disapprove of Patent Med- icines, yet we do not believe that a respecta ble Physician can be found iu the United States, acquainted with their tnedical prop- er•ties, who will not highly approve Dr. J. Boyce Dods' Imperial Wine Bitters. All newly settled ;daces, where there is al- ways a large quantity of decaying timber from which a poisonous miasnia is created, _hese bitters should be used every morning oefore breakfast. DR. J. BOVEE DOHS' - IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS le composed of a pure and unadulterated W:ne, combined with Barberry, Soloman's Seal, Corn frey, Wild Cherry Tree Bark, Spi- kenard ,Camomile Flowers, and Gentian. - They are manufactured by Dr. Dods himself, who is an experienced and succ -sefud Physi- cian, and hence should not be classed among the Quack nostrums which flood the country, and against which the Medical Profession are so justly prejudicep. These truly valuable bitters have been thoroughly tested by all c:asses of the com- munity for almost every variety of disease incident to the human system. that they are now deemed indispeasible as a Tonic, Medicine and ft Beverage. ruacrisse ONE BOTTLE!

With the beaten and broken -up cohorts of yesterday they offer sturdy battle to day. They eat corn bread and fat ba• con when they can get it, and fatten upon what our men would throw away. They are wrapped in a sort of hero- worship of their leaders, blind to the real cause of the rebellion, and enter. taining an idea that the purposes of their generals are holy and just, and that they merely fight for their rights. While the rebels subsist upon a very email amount of stores each day, they are always in admirable fighting trim. Their smell is offens.ve, as the privates are very filthy in their habits. They live out of doors altogether, and are very much hardened. and have but few tents and very little baggage. They have a vast amount of artillery -much more than we have generally given them credit for. Their army moves as one body, with the artillery and bag- gage trains always well up with the main force.

ELECTION POSTPONED.-'Ihe election this fall. has been postponed, by act of the Legi-lature, until the Second Tuee day in November. Take notice, and l.rca uo-e of its postponement, do not forget your dudes as citizens when the 'tee. ehel1 have apited Tufa WINNEBAoo&s,—Information which has been received goes to show very strongly, that the Winnebagoea were connected with the late massacre. It is reported that Col. Jones, com- manding at Garden City, is satisfied that such is the fact, and has so report- ed to Capt. Edgerton, cotnmanding at the Winnebago Agency. • It is said that the people, killed near Medelia, were shot with arrows, and afterwards tomahawked, which fact is taken to be confirmatory of the alleged complicity of the Winnobagoee, if indeed they were not the sole prepetrators of the at- rocities. We are told that those ' Winnebago Indians, whom Little Crow treys were killed in the first outbreak, were half Winnebagoea, being the sons of Proph• et, a W'it.nehngo Chief. L�'General Meade, who sustained himself so gallantly in the battles in Maryland, was dangerously wounded through the body with a fragment of a shell at the battle of Malvren Hill. That he recovered at all is surprising, but that within two months and a half he should be fighting again, ie almost inexplicable. Howard, the "pions General," who lost his right arm in the battle of Fair Oaks on the first of June, while leading a bayonet charge, also distinguished himself in the battle of Sharpsburg, commanding Gen. Burn's splendid brigade. We learn that the gallant Burns is still suffering from the wound he received at the battle of Or- chard Station, on the Chickahominy. and the men had just distinguished themselves by driving the rebels frorn the summit of the Blne ltidge. These Generals were bosom frienlle; bad been classmates at West Point, and gradua- ted together. When Reno fell, Stur- gis ran to his assistance, had him pick ed up, and said, 'Jesse, are you badly wouuded 1' To which he replied, 'Yes, Sam, I am a dead man' Gan.

Scarcely a vessel ar rives at New York from Hamburg or Bremen without recruits for Sigel from the "radicals" of Germany, who sym- pathized with him in his exile, and who propose to fight with him for lib- erty in America. Though none of these men so far arrived are wealthy, a few of them have utterly refused to accept of a bounty for enlistment, and suggest that the money be given to those who fight for pay, or to the fam- ilies of the volunteers. /Rear Admiral Dupont reports to the Ntavy Department, under date of the 18th inst., that on the 9th the Unit- ed States brig Braziliero captured the schooner Defiance, of Nassau, in in La.

That the same committee he in- tr in a j[)t S of the times—equal to theperhaps stormy—the certainly most moment- ous future. Humanity needs to be en. larged, broadened, deepened, intensifie ed on a scale proportioned to the inteh- sity and increased magnitnde of the events. All thb virtues need to be in lively and harmonious exercise during a time of peace, but in a time when storm and tempest darken the heavens, and when tha most astounding provi• dances drop upon us thick as hailstones, it then requires'a peculiar comingling, a higher strain of these virtues to fit the citizen for the vast responsibilities resting upon him. He mast be su- premely cairn, thoughtful, intelligent, deep -hearted. He must be intensely honest, patriotic and religious with well-defined principles of right, and courage to set them bravely out under every temptation to the contrary. We look to the common schools, the people's colleges, for these stupend- ous results. Under the lead of the true teacher they are attainable. We can- not for the want of these see our chit dren quietly sink into ignorance an, brutishness, and ultimately "steal in glorious to the silent grave." Let us call imperiously for schools, and rest not till we see them inaugurated every- where with a perfect school system, to bless the people with their civic lore.

It also embraces the principal parts of Maryland and Penn- sylvania. The other Map, covering about fifteen square feet, gives all the Southern or Slave States, including Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, Mary- land, Delaware and all south of thorn. Though not so minute as the Map of h Virginia, this shows all the counties, principal towns, rivers, etc., of the Southern States. Any person now subscribing for the .Agriculturist, is presented a choice of the above two Maps. In addition to this, every new subscriber for 1863, (Vol. 22,) receives the Agriculturist for the rest of this year without charge. We have long received the Agriculturist, and can tes- tify to its real merits. Every nu mbar is well illustrated, and contains s very large amount of really useful, practical, reliable information for the Farm, the Garden, and the Household,. including a very interesting department for the little ones. No ono can fail to get many dollars worth of useful hint from a volume of the Agriculturist, while the maps now are so much extra. We have sent for two copies of the paper so as to get both maps.. Send for the paper on our recommendation, or if yon prefer, send a dime for a single copy, and examine it for yourself. The address of the Publisher is ORANGE JUDD, 41 Park Row, New•York..

Iligh turret and lofty tower, embras' arcs and frowning fortifications will all fall into your possession. Remember that•tho children of the whole State demand good schools un- der the management of a well digested School system, and that a good school system, is only obtained through the wisdom and liberal views of a good and public spititod Legislature. Ree member that individual or legielative penuriousness in reference to education is not merely folly: it is a henious sin against God and humanity, and niti- mately will meet, in both instances, with the severest and most condign punishment. And while you remem- ber the children of the State and the schools which they need, call to mind the times upon which, we have fallen. It is not a day of national passivity and weakness, ,It is not a day in which humanity dies out from the very stns por of its surroundings. All is ener- gy, a perpetual movement, a fever of locomotion runs through the nation from its heart to the remotest extremis ty. We live decades in a day. How intense are all onr experiences. An overmastering idea of vastness forces itsef upon us in every transpiring event And the future; bow august are all its opening visions! What lights and shadows chase one another acmes the mind as we vainly strive to lift the veil of coming years, and unravel all the fearful possibilities that be strewn along the march of our nationality.

Some two years _ago there became quite a struggle between two certain prominent Democrats of Weaverville, as to which should go Delegate to the State Convention. The evening prior to holding the County Convention. Judge, M— and Squire J—each had ballots printed with the names of their friends upon them. The Judge's delegates were beaten, and before re- tiring he consoled himself by loading his hat with bricks. Next,morning, in good season, acting upon the irrindiple that "a hair of the dog -is good for the bite," he went in ptlretlit of 'a "hair." dust as he was calling fur the decoction, Bill McBlarney stepped into the saloon and saluted the Judge, when the fol- lowing dialogue ensued "'The top o' the mornin'-to.ye, Judge.

'Biddy,' said we, take that cat and bar kittens and pot them where we shall never see them more' A hint of dreadful import but not Understood: 'Faith, air, ah' that I will.' The feline family was removed, and tee. proceeded to dinner. By -end -by Biddy entered, with an expression of her face that seemed to say—'Be dad, It guess they're in safe keeping now' 'Well, Biddy; what have yon done with the old oat and kittens?' ,Be gor, sir, they're safe enough, sure D'ye inind the wood house fornenet the stable? Well, I put them in there and fastened the doors and windier.

We were satisfied 'ay coorse,' and we ate our dinner in peace; afterwards we walked into the yard, where we saw the identical old cat and her kittens at liberty. Calling kiddy we said: 'Did you hot say you had fastened the cat in the wood hotree.' 'Faith an' I did sir.' 'And stopped the hole?' - ,Yes sir.' Well she bad that's fact, but what do you suppose she stopped the holo with! She stopped it with a section of stove pipe! We thought we wend split. it.

VICTORY iN MISSISSIPPI. -It appears from the dispatches that after the bat tle of Iuka our forces fell back to the neighborhood of Corinth, and that they trete attacked at that place, on Friday and Saturday Last, by a force of rebels numbering about 40,000 men, com- manded by Generals Price, Van Dorn and Lovell, who were decisively repuls- ed after a severe contest. Gen. Ros. ectans was in command on the nation- al side. The news dispatch says the battle was a xlcrions victory. The tom' A ban! of Sioux Indians, numbering over fifty; on Friday morn- ing, arrived at the Mississippi river just below Reed's and encamped on an island five miles below that pleb. - When the steamer McLellan passed Wabashaw a company was being formed to proceed to the island to either take them prisoners or drive them away. The citizens of Reed's Landing were also crossing to the is- lan.l in large numbers, and it was tup- posed there would be a skirmish, as it was known that a number of marks• men went to the island under the pre- tense of baiting prairieehickens. We should not tvonder if they meet with success. 13T Lloyd Garison, the bead and frout of the radical faction of Massa- chusetts, does not find the President's emancipation proclamation by any means a subject of unqualified abo- lition rejoicings. On tbo contrary, of ter approving that branch of the manifesto which enforces the execution of the confiscation act, Garrison, through his Boston L+berator, says: The oljectionable features of the proclamation are its avowed readiness to return to bloody stripes, and horri- ble torture, and life long servitude (if ho be not killed outrighti, any hunted Fourth Regiment was engaged, but had bondmand on the oath of the villian claiming him that he is loyal to the the good luck to escape serious loss, government -its seemingly contradic- only two being killedd and a small tory talk for the first portion of it is a number wounded.

ALDRICH.-These two conspicuous individuals in their eager contest for the United States Senator- ship, have made some very damaging disclosures that effect materially the chance of either for such responsible position -or rather we should have said their friends have for them. The people begin to feel like throwing them aside as poor sticks, and are cast- ing about to find a new man whose record is not so tainted as either of these would have us believe the other's is. Thank God that we are not oblig- ed to elect either of them to the honor - ebb and dignified position of United States Senator. A SCHEME FRU8TRATI:D.-A11 re- ] otts agree that the rebels are con- centrating their forces in around Win- chester, where they propose to await McClellan, and give him battle. II appears from the Richmond pa- pers that the intention of the rebels was to establish themselves across the free States, on a line extending from llarrisburg to Cleveland, Ohio. Thus having split the North, they would lave an open port for commerce with the whole world, and would then dic- tate terms of peace to each of the States separately. Ts?'

He is still Commander-iusChief of the army in Kentucky, notwithstanding all reports to the contrary. The Louis- ville Journal of Sep. 30th says: It is reported that Gen. Buell was yesterday relieved from hie command of the Department of the Ohio, and Gen. Thomas appointed to succeed hint. Gen. Thomas, however, tele- graphed to Washington, and was backed by nearly all the other division officers, recommending the retention of Gaon. ;lush. We are happy to state that the application was successful, and that Gen. Buell was restored to the command in which he has won the confidence of our people, and we are confident that Le fully deserves it. The Louisville Democrat, of the same, day, says: Buell's ability as a general is well established, and any experiments just now should not be allowed. There has been a general dissatisfaction at the progress of events. Exiles from their homes are inpatient for a forward movement, and the soldiers ere im- patient to be after the insolent foe; but the General, no doubt, has excellent reasons for his course. Wo shall soon see the wisdom of his appointment. dam' The London Times hastens to pay a glowing tribute to the bravery, sacrifice, heroism, &c., &c., of the South. It says the Confederate States have trade themselves famous, and that if the renown of brilliant courage. stern devotion to a cause, and military achievements almost without a paral- lel, can compensate men for the toil and privations of the hour, then the countrymen of Lee and Jackson may Le consoled amid their sufferings. - From all parts of Europe, from their enemies as well as their friends -front those who condemn their acts, as well as those who sympathize with them - comes the tribute of admiration. - And, after reeling off n fulsome col- umn, it adds: ''An armed interference in the quarrel would be a fatal mis- take for any European Power.

NEW FINANCIAL SCHSME.-Mr Sec- retary Chase is said to have under cons sideration a well digested scheme, pros posed by a prominent merchant of the Southwest, by which to enable the gov- ernment to bring forward a large amount of cotton and other Southern productions for exportation, and at the same time to disarm the malice of Great Britain by furnishing material for her manufactories, to depreciate the credit of the rebel currency, and to en- hance very greatly the value of the fed• eral curreaey, and give stability to the credit of the federal government. It is expected that when developed it will tend immediately to reduce the premi- um upon coin and foreign. exchange, and to promote the ultimate prosper- ity of the whole country, and the sol- vency of many who are now utterly insolvent. Wo shall be able to decide on the "scheme" better when we know what it is. PROMOTIONS AND ORDERS. -The fol- lowing named officers have been pro- moted, on the recommendation of Ma- jor General McClellan, to Brigadier Generals: Col. Governeur A. Warren, of the Fifth New York Volunteers, for distinguished conduct at the battle of Gaines' Mill; Col. Alfred Sully, First Minnesota, for distinguished conduct at the battle before Richmond; Cul. Wil• Liam N. Averill, Third Penna) lvania, for distinguished conduct at Fair Oaks: and Cul. Robert Cowdeo, First Massa, cbusetts, fot distinguished conduct at Williamsburg. Brigadier General John Cook, Unit- ed States Volunteers, has been ordered to report for duty to Major General Pope. Surgeon William A Sloan, U. S. A., has been assigned to duty with Gen. Pope, as Medical Director of the Department of the Northwest. Two HUNDRED SHOTS PER MINUTE' -Arrangements are now in progress at Cincinnati for the manufacture of a newly invented revolving gun, which will discharge from one hundred and niuety to two hundred shots per min- ute. The construction is exceedingly aim• pee. Six rifle barrels, of the size and calibre of the Springfield or Enfield regulation rifle, are placed in a circular frame of solid iron, in which are also placed the locks and springs which pro duce the explosion. The regulation cartri;lge of 58 100 calibre is loade I into a cast steel chamber some three inehes long and capped. These chana bets., to the number of fifty, are placed in a holler, from whence they fall one by one into cavities prepared for them at the rear of the barrel in the same iron frame. A rotary motion is im- parted by a crank, attached to mitred gearing fixed in the breach, and the fifty charges are discharged in sixteen seconds, or at the rate of one hundred and ninety or two hundred per minute. Several hundred chambers are attached to each gun, and as the attendants can load them as fast as they are fired, thousands ofshots can he made without any necessity of intermission. The recoil is entirely overcome, the point of the barrel does not fly up, and each shot is effective at more than ordinary Enfield rifle range. 'The Louisville Journal, which is very severe on the Governors who met at Altoona, calling the meeting a revolutionary conspiracy, is reminded by the Cincinnati Gazette that on the very day the article iu the Journal was published, the people of Louisville were terror stricken at the approach of Bragg's army, and on that night one of these Governors issued telegraphic orders which would have brought twelve thousand additional Indiana troops to the defense of Louisville be- fore Bragg could reach it. ,it 'Richard Buateed, a distinguish- ed Irish Democrat of New York City, bas published a letter in the New York Tribune, endorsing the President's Emancipation Proclamation, in the most emphatic terms. He says: Slavery is dead and the republic lives! Lives a new life, graduated by the principles of God's eternal justice. Tha footfalls of advancing freedom throw their forward echoes upon the gladdened earn of liberty -loving men. and soon the imprints of her mighty tread will be discernable over and upon the prostrate and mortal remains of the haughty but doomed slave power. The American republic henceforth is free in tact and in name. "God bless Abras ham Lincoln." jLate rebel papers show that the intention of the rebels was to establish themselves across the free States, on a line extending from Harrisburg to Cleveland, Ohio. Thus having split the North, they would have an open port for commerce with the whole world, and would then dictate terms of peace toeach of the States separ- ately. So confident were they of sues case in this gigantic plan that even now they profess to believe that Lee, after whipping McClellan in two battles, is pushing into Pensylvania. POSTAGE STAMPS NO LONGER A CURRENCY. The Postmaster General has direct cd that postage etamps shall no longer be used as a currency, the penalty be- ing that stamps so used will no longer be recognized when placed upon letters as payment of postage. Those, there- fore, who may be offered postage stamps as currency, should refuse them. The following is the letter of the Postmaster General on the subject. P. 0. DEPARTMET, FINANCE OFFICE,? WASAINGTON, Sept. 29, 1862. j) Stn: -The recent demand by the public for postage stamps, under an er roneos impression with regard to the law authorizing the issue of "postage currency,' bas entirely exhausted the surplus stock, and the department is now dependent upon the dory manu- facture to meet the requisitions of post- masters. Sales of stamps must, there- fore, be restricted to such as may be needed by the public for the pre pa;- ment of postages, the ordinary demand at any office being the guide. And, inasmuch as the unadvised use of postage stamps as a circulating me- dium has soiled or defaced them in a greater or less degree, and evil pers sans, taking advantage of that circum- stance, have put into circulation stamps which have evidently been used in the pre payment of postage, every posts master is instructed to treat 88 unpaid any letter placed in a post -office for mailing which may be covered with a stamp at all soiled or defaced, or which has apparently been used in payment of postage. Such letters will be sent at once to the dead letter office. This department has repeatedly, by special letters and official annoucement, declared its opposition to the sale and issue of postage stamps for a currency, foreseeing the results of such a course on the part of the public. Respectfully yours. A. N. ZEVELY, Third Ass't Postmaster General. THE ENGLiSI4 OPINION OP OUR NAVY. -The London Daily fetus copies the elaborate account of the growth and present condition of the United States navy which appeared some weeks since in the columns of the Evening Post, and prefaces it with the following de- served tribute to the energy of our Na- vy Department: Bursting, as the rebel war did upon the United States, when the govern- ment were utterly unprepared with of- ficers and organization fur so large a war, the immense armies since got to- gether and brought into action at such long distances would have commanded the respect of Wellington, or of the first Bonaparte. Troops, hastily drill- ed, could only be hurried into the field armed with smooth bores and such im- plements as could be collected togeth- er; for there has been little time to judge of new inventions, or to get up large manufactures for therm. But compare the time in which the federal government have got out and ioto ac tion ironclad vessels under extreme difficulties, with the time taken by our government to get out the like materi- als of war, with all the ready made fas cilities for manufacture on a large scale possessed by this country! They have built or are building no less than forty nine, whilst we have only fifteen. The comparison made in the con- cluding passage of this extract between the rapidity of our naval work and the slowness of that of England, might be carried one step further. England, as yet, has achieved no results with her iron -plated vessels, while our Monitors and the ironclad craft of the Missis- sippi have given striking evidence of their powers. John Bull has yet to put his iron navy to the teat of actual war- fare. A PEACK PROPOSITION. -The Wash ington correspondent of the Philadel- phia Inquirer says it is rumored that the reason for the quietude of the arm- ies of the Upper Potomac is, that cows miseioners are on their way from the Confederate Congress to propose terms of peace, said to be on something like the following terms: That the loyal States are to take all the territories, Missouri, Tenn., Ken- tucky and Maryland, and make them free or slave States as may beet please them, the -Southern States to be permit- ted to have a congress of their own to regulate their own domestic affairs only; in all other things to be again as one and inseperable people, for defensive and offensive operations against other countries, to be unity in all matters of postage and revenue service, the same as heretofore, they pledging themselves to return all government property as they found it. They, in addition to a eeperate Congress, to regulate their pri- vate institutions, to be permitted sen- ators and representatives in oar Con- gress, ID such numbers as their free white population entitles them. The above proposition was telegraph- ed Wed, and created considerable ex- citement in Chicago and Milwaukee. The story is not generally credited. But if there is any truth at all is the story, which is not probable, knowing that no proposition except uncondi- tional surrender would be entertained, they have simply practised • ruse to obtain credit for magnanimity which they do not possess.

NEW SAW MILL. --We learn that Mr. Truax of Nininger, will com- mence moving his saw -mill to this place iu a short time. Lumber is a cash article, and our saw -mills and 3•ards are not equal to the demand. TIIE LEVEE.—The levee presents a very lively appearance—large quanti. ties of grain lining its entire length. not- withstanding the immense amounts that are loaded direct from the wareshouees to the boats. -- CIGARS.—Friend MERRILL, Second street, has placed upon our table a choico lot of fine cigars. These ci- gars were manufactured of Tobacco raised in this county, and judg•s of "the weed" pronounce them equal, if not superior to those of Eastern manufac- ture. Give MERRILL a call, ye that smoke. kir The walls of A. W. Gardner's new building are about up, and we begin to have some adequate concep- tion of the substantial structure it is to bo. It will probably be completed 'this fall. tir \1'e called in a few days ago to look at the large variety of magnificent ,Jewelry kept by S. W. Paul. We had no idea his stock was so Loge, and then the workmanship was 50 exquisite. Ladies, you ought to call and see the superb ornaments he has. If your watch is out of repair, he will set its wbcels to going, and it will mark the .time with undeviating precision. UNION FAIR. The Union Fair, composed of the counties of Goodhue, Rice, Washing. ton, and Dakota will be held at Hamp- ton, Dakota county, on Thursday the 23d of October, 1862. All entries free, and all -stock that is entered will be published. The object of holding this Fair, is to exhibit and compare stock.— Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Swine, Work- ing Oxen, Milch Cows, Calves, etc. An kinds of cereals are expected to be exhibited . Every one is invited to bring out their best vegetables. All mechanics are especially invited to at- tend and exhibit specitnens of their art. There will be on exhibition by !Messrs. Gardnerland Meloy, a set of gang plows, the first of the kind ever introduced into the State. EXERCISES OF THE DAY. lst—Exhibition of Stock. 2d—Cereals. 2d—,Mechanical Arts. 4—Address by Hon. Lieut.

Yards and stables furnished stock.— Judges will be elected the morning of the Fair. By order of the Executive Corn. HENRY SPRAGUE, Pres. H. W. TEV, WM. JONES, Marshalls. 1YyELLING HOUSES.—It is notorious that very many persons who are pleased with our city its location and business, are compelled to seek other localities from the scarcity of dwelling houses hero. Wont some of our enterprising business men undertake the erection of some ten or a dozen dwelling houses, in order to in part supply the great demand. We are losing, many ex- cellent men from the population of our city from this want. WANTED.—Some energetic, compe- tent roan, with capital, is much wanted in this city to rebuild the Foundry which was consumed by fire last spring. Such a man would receive liberal en- couragement from the citizens, and open a busiuesa that cannot fail of be- ing a success. We venture the asser- tion that there is not a better point north of Dubuque, for such an estab- lishment. VS' We heard and old and well informed citizen, estimate the popula- tion of this city at 3,000 souls. l'oLITies.—But little is said here in regard to politics. As far as we can gather there, will be but little opposi- tion to the Union Ticket. Many life long democrats have signified their in- tention of voting it. Gov. DONNELLY.—We, were glad to take by the hand a day or so ago, our distinguished fellow citizen lion. Ig- natius Doanelly. IIe looks well after the arduous duties of the extra session, and feels confident that the people have made up their minds to elect him at the approaching election. tom" The ordeal through which this nation is now passing is to determine whether its people are wet thy of liber ty. or only fit to be serfs. REMEMBER THOSE IN TROUBLE.— "There will be a contribution at the morning service at the University, for the benefit of the refugees from the frontier, who in many cases have not ouly bad their friends murdered and outraged before their eyes, but have .lost all their earthly possessions — Here is a chance for the exercise of true benevolence. Let all come pre - Tared to do something towards reliev- ing their unfortunate condition. WHEAT. --'The wheat trade is very good about these days. Large quatities ,coming into the city daily, where it sells readily at 70 @ 75 cents per bush- el. We wish some of the St. Paul- ,ites would come down here and see 'how 'business is done, where buyers .can afford tope!' liberally for wheat— :a fact which farmers have found out. - We notice among the names of the killed of the First Regiment, Geo. F. Panchot, of this county, We have been frequently permitted to read his letters from the seat of war, and we know that he carried with him to the field of battle, an enthusiasm that made him a brave soldier. There are two or three other Panchot boys in the service, and ail have the epitit to do a soldiers duty, ;though they tuay lose their lives while doing it. \Ve tender our sympathies to Mr. Panchot the father, knowing that in losing his boy a wound has "teen inflicted, though he is one of those stearn patricts that kuows that free institutions cannot be sustained without sacrifices. 1014 tit ntu I� IIIA HALDEN & SALTZ, 1'AINTERS&PAPER.HANDERS Shop on Vermillion street, HASTINGS, MINNILSOTA GARDEN CITY HOUSE, Sibley Street, betwctn Second and Third HASTINGS, MINNESOTA, E.

DR. .1" BOVEE DODE•7 IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS are prepared by an eminent physician who has used them successfully In his practice for the last twenty-five years. The proprietor, before purchasing the exclusive right to man- ufacture and 'sell Dr J. Royce Dods' Celebra- ted Imrerial Wine Bitters, had them tested by two distinguished medical practitioners who pronounced them a valuable remedy for disease. Although the medical men of the countU, as a general thing disapprove of Patent Med- icines, yet we do not believe that a respecta ble Physician can be found in the United States, acquainted with their medical prop- erties, who will not highly approve Dr. J. Bovee Dods' Imperial Wine Bitters. All newly settled places, where there is al- ways a large quantity of decaying timber from which a poisonous miasma is created, .beee bitters should be used every morning nefore breakfast. DR. J.

The monotonous routine of military life in Camp Dunne was strangely dis— turbed a morning or two since. A curious discovery was Made, which WAS no less than the astounding revela- tion that in the ranks of the Irish Le- gion a soldier was enlisted who proved not of the masculine, lett of the femin- ine gender. The exposure of her se- cret was by the merest accident, and she had already served some fifteen days in the ranks, performing each day her al- lotted duties as a private in tho eom• pany under the command of Capt. Mur Pby While Col. O'Meara was making his accustomed round on Thursday last, instructing the officers, supervising reg- imental affairs, and looking after the welfare and the good behavior of the men in the Irish Legion, he observed upon guard duty a sentinel who to the colonel seemed younger than the regu- lations admit into the service of the United States as soldiers. The colon- el stopped and questioned the soldier, as the latter gave him the accustomed military salute, desiring to be inform- ed the age of the sentinel before him. "Eighteen, sir," promptly replie the guard. The tone of voice in whioh it wa uttered, accompanied by the peculia manner of the soldier as the keen ey of the colonel was bent in that direc tion, caused suspicion to enter tis them. She is well formed rtid poo- eased of an eltcellent share of "mnecle," and states that she has bean inured to hardship. Her features are rather comely but her voice is somewhat mad• culine. The sequel of this strange discovery will probably be her adoption as Daugh- ter of the Irish Legion. A SMOOTH DRINK. Dan says that a year or two ago he happened to have in his employ a couple of "broths of boys," who, like all the jolly "old Ireland," liked "a bit of a taste" of something consdm= edly well, and often indulged in it, to his grievous annoyance, for of course they usually chose the most inopportune moment to get "cordialled,' On one occasion, in her httsbandfa absence, Mrs. Dan noticed that Pat and Mike hats procured a supply of the "crayther," and stored the jug that contained it upon a deserted shelf in the chimney corner. Women, you know—God bieea 'etif, nevertheless—hardly like us of the sterner sex to "liquidate," and with her sisters' proverbial aversion to the "red eye," my friend's wife took ad- d vantage of the merry dog's attendance to their chores, and abstracting their s jug, substituted, in its stead, otic er- r actly similar in appearance—outward- ly so, but not in its innards. e IAt night the boys bunked in upon the k,tchemfloor, and Mr. D. and hie Lady retired to their room, the door of which opened into the kitchen, where they could have a view from their bed of what might transpire between the bog -trotters. When Mike had given what he snp- posed was ample time for the "boss" to go to sleep, he "hunched" his neighbor, saying— "Arratb, Put let's have a drap." "Bagorry, so say I, Mike; it's as dry' as a chip I am eutirely, this bleesed night." Up both sprang, and Pat, teaching the jug, took it down from its perch, and in full view of Mr. D. and his wife, who were watching the "motions," took a swig. But the expression of his face was anything but a favorable comment upon the contents. Mike noticed the contortion, and exclaimed— "Pat, what the divil are you making, such a had look over the whiskey for?" "'Faith, Mike," replied his compan- ion, recovering himself; it was no ba I look, at all, at all, I was afther making. a I was only thinking what a smooth a drink it wars sure." "Hand over here," cried Mike, im– o patiently, and applying it to his lips, ho a took a generone draught. "Blnrenngea!" he roared, rnshing for the door, where Put followed him, and the noise of their efforts at heaving up Jonah made the night hindeous. My friend and his caroler thought they would c rack their sines in bed, laughing over the afiair, and next morning he went to the jug and shook it, but it was badly depleted. "Mike," he cried, addressing one of two sickly -looking Irishmen es ever complained, "what on earth has be- come of all the linseed oil?" "Linseed ile, is it, sir?" exclaimed - Pat, with an air as though something' had clearei up a great mystery to him. "Yes, 1 want soma to oil the har- ness, and I see it's almost gone." The Door fellow only muttered— "Linseed ile it was, sure, had luck to it, then; it went down rnights smooth." This was too much for my friend; as he hen to give vent to pent tie laugh• ter, at which Pat "vamoosed," but irr each high dudgeon that the mention of a "smooth drink" wakes up the shillelagh in him whenever ono haz= anis to hint at it. mind of the latter that • all was no right. Advancing toward the guar he looked that individual steadily i the eye, 'and instantly there fiaehe o'er his mind the mistrust that the se of the person before him was not sue as his outward habilliments would in dioate. A closer examination confirm ed-elill more the suspicion of Colone O'Meara, bat how to consummate th proof perplexed him. A moment' thought and he adopted a trifling sub terfuge. "Sir,'' said the colonel, "I think have seen you before, but where or un der what circumstances I cannot no recall to mind." "I think not, colonel," was the re- ply of the soldier, in a respectful man- ner. "Before I came here I never saw you, to my knowledge, in my life." The colonel turned again. With a well feigned look of interest on his countenance, he spoke slowly and im- precsively: "I bad a near and dear friend once, much younger than myself, and, it you be not he, I never eaw more striking resemblance. But if, a I suspect, yon are the person, though cannot divine why you should aeek t conceal the fact from mo, there is mark—a red mark—upon your lef breast, by which I shall be able to iden tify you. Open your coat, sir!" The soldier hesitated. "Colonel,' said he, "I am sure you ale mistaken for, believe me, sir, I never saw you be fore I enlisted in your regiment." Suspicion now grew too firm for con viction in the colonl's mind, and he WAS determined in hie purpose of dis- covery. With a manner which ad- mitted of no hesitation, lie Paid, "Sir, I tell you to unbutton your coat, and I wi.h you to obey me." Slowly the guard unbuttoned the garment, and threw it back from his breast. Beneath it was a white rib- bed shirt, and the lappets of the coat were thickly padded with cotton, to hide, when unbuttoned, a certain ro- tundity of form, which was now plain- ly visibo beneath the folds of the shirt Bat the colonel was not satisfied. "How, sir," said he, "can I discover whether the mark is present through the folds of your shirt? Unbutton it, sir; you are not ashamed that I should see your breast, are youl" There was a briet'silence. The col- onel was implacable, and in his counto, nines the soldier read enspicion of the correct state of affairs, and a determin- ation to know the truth. There was no help for it, and slowly and hesitating• ly these words came forth: "Colonel, rather than expose my person I will reveal my sex. I am a woman!" Stride of mars! Here it was at last, and by her own admission. The col onel immediately relieved the soldier /rem guard duty, and took the femin• ine in hie charge, with a determination to investigate the affair yet farther, but in a different direction. The story bas been related to ne by one who Was a witness of the affair, and at whose request we withhold the real name of the young lady end that under which she enlisted. Subsequent inquiry has led the com- manding officer to believe that she is a chaste girl, of pure motives, but who, with a mistaken zeal and patriotism enrolled herself in the service of her country. How she expected to event— ually escape detection we know not, but certain it ie that not until she met with Col. O'Meara had a suspicion of her true sex been entertained by her comrades, with whom she "messed" and slept. d n d x h • 1 w Her etory is that she joined the reg. iment purely from a love of war. She bas, according to her own statement, long been accustomed to wearing the apparel of the male sex, because her father, who was poor, was unable to furnish herself and sisters with such clothing as would enable his daughters to stand among the class in society in which his proud bsart desired to place tf A machine has been invented Which is to be driven by the force of circumstances. —24"In large assemblies of neon there is more feeling and less thonght than in small ones. -. 1f 'A good eoldiet may die, but he "never says pix." £When does a man die for hie love?

FOR CONGRESS IGNATIUS DONNELLY, br DAKOTA COUNTY. LATS Neves.—There bas been anoth- er great battle in Kentucky, between Harrodsburg and Danville, and a de- cided victory gained by our forces The rebel -army is retreating to Camp Dick Robinson. It is reported that Bragg and Cheatham -sere killed in the 'battle of Wednesday. The invading rebels though closely pursued, have succeeded in effecting a safe retreat, and are again on the Vire ginia side of the Potomac, having tak- en with them 1,000 horses from Penne Sylvania. Some successful reconnoissances are reported; and there are rumors of Cab - met changes, and of important army movements. The Southern reports of the battle of Corinth are more disastrous to the reb els than the statements published in the Northern papers, An important letter from Beauregard to Bragg has ben intercepted, reveal- ing rebel plans and resources. The rebels are strongly fortified on the Rappahannock, and it is said that Jeff. Davis' government is sharply crit icised at Richmond, and that many perscns there are tired of the rebellion. TEa INDIAN WAR NEARLY TERMINA- TED.—From ERMINA•TED—From dispatches which Gen. Pope has received from Gen. Sibley, it appears that the Indian war, eo far as the Lower Sioux are concerned, is nearly terminated. With the excep- tion of scarcely half•a dozen who still remain with Little Crow, the entire force of Indians belonging to the lower bands have surrendered to Gen. Sibley, and he has, it is believed, upwards of two thousand prisoners. A portion of the Sissitons, under Sleepy -Eyes, have gone off over the Coteau prairie, towards the Big Sioux river. These are believed to be the ones who committed the murdere at Lake Shetek and other places near the Iowa line. A force of mounted men are already in pursuit of, and will no doubt soon capture these fellows; and the Yanktene, or Cut Heads, who have been mixed np in these affairs, and who have more particularly been concerned in the attacks on Fort Ab- beicrombie, and the murders on Red River, will be promptly pursued and properly punished. HOPEFUL INDICATIONS IN NORTH CAROLINA.—The latest arrival from Newburn, North Carolina, bring, in- telligence that a number of Union meetings have recently been held among the North Carolians, two Un- ion officers delivering the addresses, which were in some cases enthusias- tically received. Since the recent elec- tion the people have expressed Union sentiments with more freedom than formerly, and they attended these dem- onstrations in considerable numbers. -- Meetings were held, not only in and near Washington, but at different points un the coast. Of course, a great ma- jor sty of the people still observe much circumspection in regard to the rebel authorities; but there are strong indi- cations that secessionism—never popu- lar in the Old North state—is decidedly on the decline. The Governor of North Carolinr, Col. Vance, delivered his inaugural at Raleigh, on the Sib ult. It is moder- ate in tone generally, thongh when speaking of the treatment received by North Carolina. at the hands of the rebel government, it is quite a bitter sarcastic. VICTORY IN KENTUCKY. —A dispatch from General Buell announces that his force came up to Bragg's army, at Per rysville, on Thursday, and after a se- vere battle, the rebels were repulsed and during the night again took up their liue of retreat towards Harrods- burg. On Friday there was some skis wishing with the rebel rear guard, but the main body was out of the way.— In the action on Thursday, Gen. Buell says the enemy was everywhere repuls- ed, which statement, together with the fact that the rebels retreated and left f;teeral Buell in possession of the town, leaves no,dosibt of victory on our side. General Buell, probably, is less inclined to exaggeration than any oldie ter we have. His dispatch ie a plain statement of what he has accomplished, sud ie,entiiely devoid of ostentations boaelt, TUE DEAD AT ANT1uTAI[ —J. B. Kiddo, Lieuteuant Colonel of.tbe 137th Pennsylvania Volunteers, writes under date of the 27th ultimo, as follows, concerning the "relative number of killed in the battle of Antietam: "1 told you we bad helped to bury the dead. Let the give you the figures.— We were ordered to keep a strict ac- count of both parties and 1'iury them in separate graves. We buried 828 rebels and 125 Union troops. The 110th and 145th Pennsylvania were also engaged with us, and worked a day longer than we did. I am told by their officers that the disproportion be- tween the dead with them was greater than I have given abeve. I am satis- fied, from what I saw with my own eyes, that the rebels lost ten to our one." The Washington Star adds to this authentic statement of Lieut. Col. Kiddo, the fact that within a few days immediately previous to the late recon• noissance of Col. McLear, to Warren- ton, no leas than three thousand of the rebel wounded in the battles of Mary- land were sent through that town to Culpepper Conit House.:tl.eir railroad terminus. It is easy to see from facts like these how little truth there is in Lee's estimate of five thousand as his loss iu the engagement of Antietam. AN ADVANCE.—Immense interests hang upon the weather during the months of October and November.— If they are dry and pleasant as they often are in Virginia, the war may be pushed down to the heart of rebeldom before winter sets in, No one expects to hear of active movements within two weeks, but there is no longer any attempt at concealment of the fact that our army is preparing for a grand ad- vance towards the heart of the south— by what route and with what precise plans few know, and they who do, could not safely communicate it to the public. The Baltimore American al- ludes to this new movement editorally iu the following language: "Within the next ten days the plaus of Gen McClellan will be in the course of ex- ecution, and will justify the wisdom of the President in trusting him, and command the admiration of the coun- try." THE VICTORY AT CORINTH.—'The Vie tory of General Rosecrans grows in magttitode tinct importance the more we hear of it. The defeat of the enemy was the most complete and disntrous rout he his met with in the west.— Prisoners, artillery, arms and muni- tions of all descriptions, in quantities not yet definitely stated, were taken by our victorious troops. We trust the rebel army in that region has been so thoroughly broken up that it can never be an army again. We do not think there is now any rebel force in the southwest that can withstand Gran; and Rosecrans at all. There ie said to be a division (proba- bly Breckinridge's) at Ilolly Springs but it is not formidable. and if moved against immediately will soon bo dis- posed of. We trust there will not be a moment's unnecessary delay, and that the success we have gained at Corinth, will be followed np until Vieksburg is in our hands and the Mississippi is once euorej opened throughout its length. THE ARMY IN MARYLAND.—The in- timate friends of the President say that he is delighted with the condition of the army of the Upper Potomac. The troops have received him at all points with great enthu,iasm, and he is much pleased with their general appearance. They have entirely recovered from the fatigue of the recent marches and bat- tles. and are ready fur another contest with the enemy, or a pursuit, as the ease may be. The general opiuiou in our army is that Lee and hie troops will nut fight in their present position, but will gradually fall back as our troops advance. The plane of our own generals are very properly kept in se- cret. At no previous time have they been kept so carefully and successfully from outsiders. The President has doubtles been in consultation with Geo- erals McClellan, Burnside, Sumner and other military leaders upon those plans, and the public may soon expect to dee them developed. MEDALS OF Howoa—The law of Con geese passed in December last; author- ized the Secretary of the Navy to cause two hundred "medals of honor" to be prepared, with suitable emblematic de vices, which shall be bestowed • upon such petty officers, seaman and marines as shall most distinguish themselves by their gallantry in action and other seamanlike finalities during the pres- ent war. In accordance with this au- thority, the Secretary has had execute ed at the Mint a beautifully designed and elaborately finished medal, with an attachment of woven silk—the calors arranged like those of the national tleg —to which is attached a pin for fast- ening upon the left side of the jacket of the fortunate recipient of the distin- guished badge of merit, THa BATTLE AT Cuaisra.—A writer ORDER BY GEN. McCLELLAN. who was au eye witness of the attack on Corinth by Price, Van Dorn and Lovell, says that General Rosecrans had bat 12,000 men, the rebels about 80,000. They broke Riuecrans' center, and came pell-mell into Corinth yell- ing like demons. Behind a knoll, near the public square, several batter- ies were planted, loaded with double charges of grape and caaistbr, which the rebels did not perceive. They crowded the square full with dense masses of troops, and when they were as thick as they could stand, the bat- teries opened on them with terrifiic effect, at a short distance, piling the square in heaps with the&r dead and wounded. Utterly astounded, .thee broke and ran, our troops chargs ing on them with the most terrible ea ergy. Our loss was severe in the at- tack which broke our center, bat was fearfully made np by the artillery and bayonet charges. Gen. Price has 18,000 men, Van Dorn 12,000. Lovell 6.000. Rosecrans has 12.000 men, Hurlbut 6,000, Grant 22,000. GREELEY "NOT SATISFIED."—Greeley personates two cba•acters—editor of tits Tribute and contributor to the In- dependent, In his own paper he some times affects moderation, and is often conservative, under the pressure of a healthy public sentient. In the In dependent ho is ultra, and gives utter- ance to his more honest sentiments, a8 will be seen by the extract below, from his article on the President's Emanci- pation Proclamation: The President's Proclamation of Freedom is not what 1 desired and sought. I did hope that the President would feel constrained to declare Slav- ery abolished at once and in every part of the country. I hoped that Maryland, Delaware, and Missouri, would have been made Free States forth with, (compensation of course to be made to the tew thoroughly loyal slavehol lers in each. and that eve:y skive now uni'er the jur 8liction of t .e Union should likewise tie freed at once, and the residue 80 last as they should cotuo or be brought within that juris- diction. I firmly believed -1 still be- lieve—the exigency such as fully and clearly to warrant and demand stleh an exercise of supreme Military authority for the saving of the life of the Repub- lic. But the President has determined on a more cautious, limited, temporiziug procedure. His Proclamation frees ab sulutely only such slavee as acts of Congress, punishing the crimes of reb- els, had already legally emancipated.— Nearly three months must yet elapse— a full hundred days from the date of the Proclamation—before the proffer of freedom to all slaves of Rebels, and of persons passively remaining and re- siding wi hin States and districts hith- erto under rebel jurisdiction, will take effect. tThe capital c ty of Kentucky has, according to the Louisville Jour- nal, been made the scene of the first treasonable demonstration against the President's Emaucipation Proclama- tion. "Ilse Journal srys: A meeting was held in -Frankfort on Saturday last, the proceedings of which when received will prove of interest to errant residents of the capital city 'Tho meeting was called to consider the late Emancipation Poclamation of the Pres ident and was addressed by 'Messrs. Thomas A. Lindsay, Lysander horde, George W. Craddock, Johr. Rodney, D. B. Sayre, Lewis E. Harvie, and oth- ers—all of whom were severe in their denunciations of the President, and positive in their declaration of Seces- sion sentiments. A series of resolu- tions, asking President Lincoln to mod• ify his Proclamation in sect] a man- ner as to suit the views of tionthern Rights mon, was passed; but snbse- quently an amendment was offered end passed proposing all sorts of resistance to the President's plans. Craddo k declared himself an original Secession ist, and his fellow speakers wished to he considered quite as rebellions as Craddock. We will await the recep- tion of the official proceedings of the meeting with much interest. VT A dispatch from Washington says, people at a distance have little idea how many thousand troops move almost unnoticed to the assistance of the army. Regiment after regiment debarks at the Soldier's Retreat. near the Capitol. and marches through the city and over the Long Bridge into Virginia. Each is headed by a far- sounding drum corps, which deafens the ears of all around. Many go up the river to General McClellan, and so far as it can be judged from the slight amount of informntton made public here, the field in Western Maryland will be the great point of interest. Few armies are reinforced more. quietly than bis, and few, perhaps, will fol- low a victorious leader more confident- ly. • `t Brig. Gen. A. A. Buckioghaw writes from Washington to a gentle- man in Pottsville, Pa., of an inquisitive turn of mind: "In reply to yours of the 14th tilt., relative to persona who have presented themselves for exemp- tion from draft, with the fote6nger tak en off at the first joint, I am directed to say that the lose of the first joint of the forefinger will not exempt a porton from draft if ha oan fight." Htt4DQ'aa ARMY OP THE POTc.MAC, Camp near Sharpsburg. Md., October 7,1862. GENERAL ORDER NO. 163. The attention of the officers and sol- diers of the army of the Potomac is called to General Or,lers No 163, War Department, Eept. 24th, 1862, publish- ing to the army the President's procla- mation of September 221. A proclamation of such grave mo- ment to the nation, offieially commu nicated tt, the army, affords the Gener- al Commanding an epportuuity of des- fining e-fining specially to the officers and sol- diers under his command the relation borne by all persons in the military service of the United States towards the civil authorities of the Govern- ment. The constitution confides to the civil authorities, legislative, judicial and ex- ecutive. the power and duty of making, expounding. and executing the federal laws• ' Armed forces are raised and supported simply to sustain the civil authonties, and are to be held in strict sohordination thereto. In all respects this fnndatnental rule of our political system is essential to the security of our republican institetions, and should be thoroughly understood ani observed by every soldier. The principles upon which, and objects for which, it shall he employed in suppressing the rebel- lion, must be determined and declared by the civil authorities. 'Tile Chief Executive, who is charged with admits istration of national affairs, is the prop- er and oaly source through which the views and orders of the government can be made known to the armies of the nation. Discussion by offisera and soldiers concerning public tneaeuros determined upon anti declared by the government, when carried at all beyond the ordinary temperate and respectful expression of opinion, tends greatly to impair and destroy the discipline and efficiency of the troops, by substituting the spirit of political faction for that firm, steady, end earnest snpport of the authority of the government, which is the highest duty of the armed soldier. The remedy for political errors, if any are committed. la to be fouud only in the action of the people at tha pt lis. In thus calling the attention of this army to the true relation between the soldiers and this Goverument, the Gen. eral Commanding merely adverts to au evil against which it has been thought ativis tt,!et during our whole history, to guard the armies of the Republic anri. in so sluing, he will nttt be consicerert by any right minded opinion as cast- ing any reflection upon that loyalty and good conduct which have been se fully illustrated ou so many battle fielde. In carrying out all measures of pub- lic p licy, this army will of course be guided by the same rales of mercy and christianity that have ever controlled ite conduct towards the defenceless.

Hartsuff, and soon after left for Washiugton, amidst the cheering of the throng of citizens and soldiers, to whom he returned thanks briefly, as follows: Fellow citizens, I am surrwundo.l by soldiers, and a little farther if by the citizens of this good city of Frederick. Nevertheless, I can only say, as I did live tna;ntes ago. that it is not proper for me to make speeches in my present position. 1 return thanks to our sol Biers for the good service they have rendered, the energy they have shown, the hardships they have endured, end the blood they have shed for this Un- ion of ours; and I also return thanks not t.nly to the soldiers. but to the good citizens of Frederick and to the good men and women and children of this land of ours, for their devotion to this glorious cause; and I say this with no malice in my heart towards those who have done otherwise. May -our ' children and children's children, for a thousand generations, coutinue to en- joy the benefits conferred upon us fly a united country, and have cause yet to rejoice under those glorious institutions. bequea hed to us by Washington and his compeers. Now my friends, sol diers and citizens, 1 eau only say once more, farewell. tar -Parson Browelow, in his ad- dreas last Thursday, at the Michigan State Fair ,in Detroit, said: Regarding Mr. Lincoln's proclama- tion. 1 will say, that if he means to free the slaves of rebels in arms, and pay loyal -nen for them, I am for it, put and.out. [Enthusiastic applause] I think the preclarnatiou well timed, and fortunate at this moment. If it had been made a month or six weeks later, the rebels would have made a proposition themselves to England to take their negroes and colonize thew, and I thank God that Old Abe bas taken the starch out of them. [Cheers.] FARMERS NOT SUBJECT TO PEDDLER'S Liczesa.—The question has been rais- ed as to whether farmer's, who bring their produce into cities to sell would be required to take out a peddler's lis cense.

Nothing in the printed slips enclosed by yon is official or was ab- thorized by me, except the letter to the Baltimore assessor, I consider that a tavern -keeper must be licensed as a retail liquor .dealer in order to sell liquor. He is expressly permitters to sell cigars by article 16. section 64 and his tavern license ena- bles him "to provide fold and lodging." I see no reason for subjecting him to an eating house license. Any person selling meat or produce at a stall or store should beconsidered a retail dealer. Those who sell in wagons from house to house should be licensed as peddlers I have considered sailmakers as manufacturers. If a person whose occupation is that of a retail dealer occasionally sells in original packages to consumers, he is not thereby required to take a license as a wholesale dealer; but if he sells in original packages or by the peace to those who buy to sell again, be must take a license as a wholesale dealer. I have decided that persons engaged• in the production of the articles enum- erated in the last part of vain 75 as not considered manufacturers within the meaning of the act, do not require to be licensed as men,J'acturers. The provisions in section 66 relating to rnanufactnrers do not apply to them, and they must be licensed as wholesale or retail dealers, as the case may he. This decision involves bakers, mill- ers, and similar occupations. Where bakers sell their bread from carts a peddler's license should be tak en not for the driver of each cart. Butchers' carts are subjected to the same rule. Very respectfully, GEO. S. BOU'1'WELL, Com inissioner, 24 -The special Washington corres- pondence of the Tribune Bays Col.

In some cases it works well—the lot falling on the -nest blatant rebel sympathizers. In other instances men havd been drafted who have two or three sons in the army.— Other men with large families, and to poor to buy substitutes, are drafted and compelled to serve. The mare wealthy are purchasing substitutes at high fig- ures—ranging from 8200 to $1.000.— Several Ohioans have visited adjoining States in search of substitutes but the article is rather scarce, E:tsr TENNESSEE.—General Morgan has apparently done a skillful and gal - lint deed in making his way to the Oh io river with his noble band of men amid such overwhelming difficulties,— This retreat successfully accomplished and er such circumr,tancee, is one of the most memorable events of the war.— It must move every heart, however, to reflect upon the despair which must, now once more settle down over the heroic spirits of East Tennessee. ICS' A dispatch from Cairo says Commodore Davis has been here for several days, ant an unusual activity is manifested in the navy. A blow is to be struck soon, but just where, perhaps the public will not be informed till af- ter the occurrence. Low. water and sickness have much interfered with river movements. Cold weather and a little more water will enable every obstruction to the free navigation of the Mississippi to be removed at once. _sees itgrThere are two bomb shells sur- mounting the pillars at the grand en- trance to the Executive mansiou at Washington.

BOARD of EQUALIZATION.—The State Board of Equalization met at St. Paul last week, but were unable to proceed with the business because of the non - receipt of returns from a number of counties. The counties delinquent are Crow Wing, Freeborn, Houston. Jack- son, Kandioyhi, Kennebec, Martin, Mc- Leod, Meeker, and Watonwan. The Board adjourned for one week, during which time it is hoped the proper offi- cers will see that the returns are hand- ed in. THE SIGEL CANARD.—As we had supposed, the story about Gen. Sigel having requested to be relieved of his command, is a falsehood. Gen. Sigel, we learn, bas got, or is getting, all the troops Ise ie entitled to, and there has neither been a diepositon ou the part of Gen. Halleck to snub him, nor does Gen. Sigel feel himself sorely aggriev- ed, as alleged, and even if he did feel so, he is too faithful a soldier to go about among the newspaper reporters to get them to ventilate his grievances. ANN..

Bto We learn that Samuel Rogers suld seventeen liumlied dollars worth of goods last week. This we tall it big week's work, though we have known it excelled. Mr. Rogers ought to be satisfied with such a trade, however, but doubtless would have no 'objection to increasing it to $2,000 per week. A big stock, at low figures, will take the trade. ELECTF11,1.—Our readers will recol- lect that the 4th of November has been -fixed as the time for bolding the elec- tion in this State.

Conte out to the election. THE WHEAT TRADE.—f0 give some idea of the amount of business done here in the wheat trade, we submit the following, showing the amount of money paid out in two days. On Fri- day last,811,090,08 were paid ont for wheat, and on Saturday 814,679,91. There can be no mistake about these figures, as they are the result collected from the books of those in the wheat trade. We consider, however, these figures above the average daily ainount paid for wheat, but at a rough gorse, we would fix the amount paid daily et eight or nine thousand dollars. New GOODS.—J. F. 'Macomber has just received a large assortntent of Clocks, Watches, Jewelry, Silver and Plated Ware. These goods are all of the best matmfacture, and of the latest style, and cannot fail to please those who want good watches, good clocks, fine jewelry, and pure and substantial silver and plated ware. A set of mil. ver spoons, are a good thing to in, vest in, in these times of fluctuating cerreney. We know Macomber to be a good workman, and watches put in his hands for repair %via receive the most critical care. NORTH dr CARLL.—We were down to the overflowing store house of North du Carll the other day anti were sur- prised at the immense amount of goods there exposed for sale. We found ev- ery body busy about the establishment, and the goods going off, and the mow ey coming in, as if the country wa, not involved in a stupendons war.

Boras DODS' Terenuat Wise Thrrns, and in this short period they have given such universal satisfaction to the mar.y thonsands of persons who have tried them that it is now an established article. - The amount of bodily and mental mieery arising simply from a neglect of small cern- plaints is surprising, and therefore it is of the utmost importance that a strict attention to the least and most trifling ailment ishould be bad; for diseases of the body must invari- ably affect the mind. The subscribers; now only ask a tiial of Dr.J.Bovee Dod's Imperial Wine Bitters from all who have not used them. We chal lenge the world to produce their equal. These Bitters for the cure of Weak Stom- achs, General Debility, and for Purifi ine nd Enriching the Blood, are absolutely unsur- passed by any other remedy on earth. To be assured of this, it is only necessary to make the trial The Wine itself is of a very superior quality, being about one third stron- ger than other wines; warming and ievigor. ating the whole aystem from the head to the feet. As these Bitters are tonic and altera- tive in their character, so they strengthen and invigorate the whole system and give a fine tone and healthy action to all its parts, by equalizing the circulation, removing ob- structions. and producing a general warmth. They are also excellent for diseases and weak. 005 peculiar to Females, where a tonic is required to strengthen and brace the system. No lady, who is subject to lassi- tude and faintness, should be without them, as they are revivify in their action. THESE BITTERS Will not only cure, be, prevent Disease and in this respect are doubly valuable to the perscm who mai" use them. For INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION Weak Lungs, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Disea- ses of the Nersons System, Paralysis, Piles, and for all cases reluirr ng a tonic Dr. Dod's Celebrated 1,Vine Bitters ARE UNSUTIPA,SED Fer Sore Throat, so common among the Clerey, they are truly,' valuable. For the aged and infit m, and for persons of a weak constitution; rot Ministers of the Gos pel, Lawyers, and n11 public speakers; for Book -Keepers, Tailors, eamstresse, Stu dents, Artists, and all persons leading a sed entary life, Ulu will prove truly beneficial. As a Beverage, they are wholesome, inno cent and delicious to, the taste. They pro duce all the exhilerating effects of Brandy or Wine, without intoxicating; and are a valua- ble remedy for persons addicted to the use of excessive strong drink, and who wish to re• frain froni R. They are pure and' entirely free from the poisons contained in theadulter- ated Wines and Liquots with ev:dch the country is flooded. These Bitters not only Cure, but Prevent Disease, and should Ire ve-ed by all who live in n country where the water is bad, or where Chills and Fevers are prevalent. Being en• tirely innocent and harmless, they may be given freely to Children and infants with irn • !minty. Physicians, Clergymen, and temperance advocates, as an net of humanity, should as- sist 10 spreading these truly valuable BIT• TERS over the land, and thereby e.sentiallv aid in banishing drunkenness and dtsease, lu all affections of the Head, Sick Headache, or Ner,ons Headache Dr. Dods" Imprriel 001110 Hitters will be found to be most salutary and. ef- ficacione. The many certificates which have been ten- dered us, rind the letters which we are daily receiving, are conclusive proof that among the women these Bitters have giuen a satis- faction which no others have ever done be- fore. No woman in the land should he with out them, and those who onee use them will not fail to keep a supply. DR. I BOVEE DOJ' IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS are prepared by an eminent physician who bemused them successfully in his practice for the last twerity-five years. The proprietor, before purchasing the ere] usi VE right to man- ufacture and sell Dr. J. Boyce Dods' Celebra- ted Imperial Wine Bitters, had them tested by two distinguished medical practitioners who pronounced them a valuable remedy for disease. Although the medical men of the country, as a general thing disapprove of Patent Med- icines, yet we do not believe that a respeeta ble Physician can be found in the United States, acquainted with their medical prop- erties, who will not Itig,hly approve Dr. J. Boyce Dods' Impenal Wine Bitters. All newly settler] places, where there is al - way, a large quantity of decaying timber from which a poisonous miasma is created, _hese bitters should be used every morning nefore breakfast. DR. J. BOVEE DODS' IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS Is Composed of a pure and unadulterated W;ne, combined with Barberry, Soloman's Seal, Comfrey, IVild Cherry, Tree Bark, Spi• kenard,Camomile Flowers, and Gentian. - They are manufactered by Dr. Dods himself, who is an experienced and suce,ssful Physi- cian, and hence shmild riot be classed among the quack nostrums which flood the country, and against which the Medical Profession Dre so justly prejudicep. 'hese truly valuable bitters have been thoroughly tested by all classes of the com- munity for sltnost every variety of disease incident to the human system. that they are DOW deemed indispeasible as a Tonic, Medicine and a Beverage.

The Union .or Re rublisan party, y 1e platforms ofits District conven- tions, istintt y ignored all the by. gone and dead issues of politics. It proposes to save the (Rion by p o a ing ;e Government and crush- ing ont the rebellion. It prescribes for itself a la's lino of to the administration anddestruction to traitors. It desires to see no political issues ag tated untilpeace, order and obedi– ence to the Government are re-estab- ishet in all the land. The so called Democratic but a feeble promise of sppport to the A t minis ra tun. Its platform contains not i reprobation of southern conspirators who have g ed the country into all th3 calamities and horrors of civil war. It contains not a single word in une- quivocal support of the dour. Its platform proposes to "sustain the Government," (not, be it obsei ved, in the war against the rebellion, but.) "in its efforts; to restore •the Union!" How this is to be accomplished— whether by dastardly end humiliating compromises, or by submitting to the government of the rebel cougres—it does not say. This is the only pledge of support of the Government, of any kind, in the entire Democratic platform, It must not be forgotten that evory word of this platforms was carefully weighed and studied, and that these omissions were intended, and are most significant. What does the party wo represent proposo for the future? An earnest, vigoron8, persistent prosecution of the war—for the restor- ation of the Union—the suppression of the rebellion—and the re --establishment of peace. With peace so obtained will come prosperity, and through no other chan- nel can it reach us. When the public mind can confi- dently rely upon the power of the Gov ernment to quell intestine disturbances, then and not till then, commerce. man- ufactures and enterprise will revive, and growth and prosperity once more return to us. What does the so-called Democratio part propose for the future! NOTHING --LITERALLY NOTHING! They submit no plan of adjustment of our difficulties; they point to no outlet from our calamities; they propose no remedy for tbe disorders of the na- tion. '!'heir entire platform is a list of captious objections urged against the details of the tear, and borrowed, prin-' cipally, from Southern speakete and journals; ---from the orations of Breck- enridge and the editorials of the Rich- mond papers. At a time when it is doubtful wheth- er the whole people may not fall under the heel of a powerful and able rebel; - lion, this faction desires that the re- bellion itself shall be treated with ex- traordinary tenderness; and they pro- test in their platform'•against -the en- actment, by Congress, of confiscation measures of extreme severity!" In aline of war their sympathies are with our enemies. While grief and desolation sit in ten thousand households throughput the loyal States, they fear lest the power` of the government may be used with "extreme severity" against armed trai- tors and rebels. Their tears are not for the blood that flows from Northern and loyal '-eeint4 but for that which may change, to f ew- frem Southern and rebellious veins. They desire that a long suffering' much enduring nation shall patiently submit to new indignities; shall 'sink still lower in the dust; and shalt refrain from using every means which God and nature bas given to- arusit-.oat its relentlera.,enemies. be equalized byoue rifle in South olina t Such a state of thine would p y a military despotisrn;—the despot- ism of a: rnobt;—ten thousand times wotle� than the rule of a single a intelligent tyrant. Is there any road to eaoe save t ' victory? Can it be found in the dismember- ment of ottr great oountr ? The oekin a of th channels of trade and the paralizing of commerce and industry would be but a part u the evils that would follow in Elio train of such an event.

If thriugh war and victory lies the only path to peace, let that war be brief and th„t victory decisive. 1)., nut permit the hands of the Ad- ministration to be tied, by sending'dis loyal teen to Congress. Do not stop our armies, in tho full career of triumph, by permitting the machinations of desperate politicans. Do not add years to the duration of the war and thousands of millions to the national debt, by any effort .to res construct'the government in the midat of the attacks of a poworful foe. Upon t!te sound judgment, the redo• late patriotism of the reople, rests the salvation of the nation. If the people aro equal to the task the day of peace will soon come, and the nation, rising with renovated strength from its calamities, will ads vanes along the vale of coming years, great, exultant and blessed of all men. If the people give way to cowardly doubts, to factious sentiments, to mer- cenary motives, this great people will sink in a sea of misrule and misery. When older dies the love of liberty will not die with it, but a period of an- archy will bridge the chasm between destroyed freedom and restored peace An immense multitude of people, held together by no common tie, spread over a vast region of country, and pos- sessed of the most determined love of personal independence, will—if ever anarchy falls upon them—pass into excesses which no human mind can at this moment foresee. - Should such convulsions visit the bosom of our happy country, the per- sonal prosperity of citizens would sink like bubbles in the wave. As war is ever dangerous' to free government, do not let us prolong and increase the danger by intestine dis- sensions; bet,, rather, close up the ranks and end the danger by conquer• ing peace. We ask for our candidates for Con- gress the support of every man in the State whose heart is in sympathy wittF the objoete for which this war is now being waged; and of every man who desires to see those objects attained by a brief and vigorous'prosecution of the war. , • ROBERT F.

CURING PORE,—A French chemist has lately asserted, that scurvy will. never arise from the use of salt provis- ions, unless saltpetre be used int the coring; that salt alone answers all the purposes, provided the animal heat lie entirely parted before salting. He claims that the insertion of pork in pickle alone is not sufficient, but that it should be rubbed thoroughly with dry salt after it has entirely parted with its animal .heat, and then the fluid rnn. ujng from the meat should be poured off before packing the pork in the bar- rel. This shauid he done sniiiciently closely to "draft no t,nneceasary• gnan- tity of air,. and"some dry 'snit 'should occupy the apace between the pieces, and tben pickle, and not water;'alould be added. Great care must be taken to fill the barrel entirely full, so that no portion of the meat can at any time project abovethe'surface of the fluid; if this occurs, a change of flavor ensues such as is known with rusty pork.

THE NEW PIRATE STEAMER.—Our late dispatches narrate the destruction of a number of peaceful merchant ves• sele, by the new pirate steamer -290" or Alabama. This vessel, it will be remembered, derives her name from the fact that she was built for the reb- els by the subscriptions of "290" En- glish merchants. Such exhibitions of neutrality as this are not calculated to foster the kindest feelings on this side of the Atlantic towards the mercantile classes of England. It is to be hoped that the career of this piratical craft may he brought to a speedy close. " It is stated that, in consequence of the indiscretion of certain newspa- per correspondents, an important doc- ument, prepared by Gen. Buell, em- bodying a defence of his movements, besides stating the strength of his arrny, his reinforcements, and his knowledge of the enemy, fell into the hands of the rebels a few days ago. - The Convention which met at Dixon, Illinois, on the 8th Inst, nom- inated Daniel Richards for State Sen- ator, adopted the resolutions of the late Stats Convention, and resolved that Gov.

FROM TEXee—Advices from Texas represent that the condition of the Union men in that State is most de plorahle. The secessionists seem to have full control of affairs, and they hang or banish every man who is sus- pected of entertaining Union senti- ments.

To be assured of this it is only necessary to make the trial The Wine itself is of a very superior quality, being about one third stron- ger than other wines; warming and ievigor- ding the whole system from the head to the feet. As these Bitters see tarifa and altera- tive in their character, so they strengthen and invigorate the whole system and give a fine tone and healthy action to all itsparts, by equalizing the circulation, removing ob- structions. and producing a general warmth. They are also excellent for diseases and weak - nes peculiar to Females, where a tonic is required to strengthen and brace the system.

They are pure and entirely free from the poisons contained in thendulter. ated Wines and Liquors with wLich the country is flooded.

The proprietor, before purchasing the exclusivs right to man- ufacture and sell Dr. J.

Although the medical men of the country, as a general thing disapprove of Patent Med- icines, yet we do not believe that a respecta ble Physician can be found in the United States, acquainted with their medical prop.ertie, who will not highly approve Dr. J.

He is not willing, however, to see the patriotic action of himself and men in the field oonnteracted by the votes of semi -secession Democrats in Congress, \Vo are disposed to exclaim: thank God for the soldiers! the regiwent voted.

The rebel force tender Bragg and his fellow generals was not less than 45,000, whereas the Union army did not number more than 18, 000. The rebels captured and after, ward abandoned nine guns, and took 441 piisoners, whom they parolled. 1Ve captured seventeen guns, independ- ent of the nine retaken, 1u6.000 round of ammunition and 500 prisoners.

TO TIIE PEOPLE OP THE UNITED STATES In the month of December, 18513, the tin. dersigned for the first time offered for sale to the public Di, J. Dom Dons' hamar. Wins Dirtiness, and in this short period they have given such universal satisfaction to the roauy thousands of persons who have tried them that it is now an established article. - The amount of bodily and mental miaery arising simply from a neglect of small ecm• plaints is surprising, and therefore it is of the utmost importance that a strict attention to the least and most trifling ailment should be had; for diseases of the body must invari- ably affect the mind. The subscribers now only ask a trial of Dr.J.Bovee Dod's Imperial Wine Bitters from all who have not used them. We chal- lenge the world to produce their equal. These Bitters for the cure of Weak Stom- achs, General Debility, and for Purifj ing and Enriching the Blood, are absolutely unsur- passed by any other remedy on earth. To be assured of this, it is only necessary to make the trial The Wine itself is of a very superior quality, being about one third stron- ger than other wines; warming and invigor- ating the whole system from the head to the feet. As these Bitters are tonic and altera- tive in their character, so they strengthen and invigomte the whole system and give a fine tone and healthy action to all its parts, by equalizing the circulation, removing ob- structions, and producing a general warmth. They are also excellent for diseases and weaks nes peculiar to Females, where a tonic is required to strengthen and brace the system. No lady, who is subject to lassi- tude and faintness, should be without them, as they are revivify in their action. TIIESE BITTERS Will not only Cure, but prevent Disease and in this respect are doubly valuable to the person who male use thein. For INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION Weak Lung, s, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Disea- ses of the Nervous System, Paralysis, Piles, and for all cases requiring a tonic Dr. Dod's Celebrated Wine Bitters ARE UNSURPASSED ! Fer Sore Throat, so common among the Clergy, they are truly valuable. For the aged and infiim, and for persons of a weak constitution; for Ministers of the (.Jos pel, Lawyers, and all public speakers; for Book -Keepers, Tailors, eamstresse, Stu dents, Artists, and all persons !ceding a sect entary life, they will prove truly beneficial. As a Beverage, tney are wholesome, inno cent and delicious to the taste. They pro duce all the exhilerating effects of Brandy or Wine, without intoxicating; and are a valua- ble remedy for persons addicted to the use of excessive strong drink, and who wish to re• frain from it. They tire pure and entirely free from the poisons ,contained in the adulter- ated Wines and Liquors with which the country is flooded. These Bitters not only Cure, but Prevent Disease, and should be used by all who live in a conntry where the water is bad, or where Chills and Fevers are prevalent.

J BOVEE DODS' IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS • are prepared by an eminent physician who has used them mcceisfully in his practice for the last twenty-five years. The proprietor, before purchasing theexclusivr right to man- ufacture and sell Dr. J. Boyce Dods' Celebra- ted Imperial Wine Bitters, had them tested by two distinguished medical practitioners who pronounced them a valuable remedy for disease. Although the medical men of the country, as a general thing disapprove of Patent Med- icines, yet we do not believe that a respeeta ble Physician can be found in the United States, acquainted with their medical prop- erties, who will not highly approve Dr. J. Bovee Dods' Imperial Wine Bitters. All newly settled places, where there is al- ways a large quantity of decaying timber from which a poisonous miasma is created, hese bitters should be used every morning oefore breakfast. DR. J. BOYEE DODS' IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS Is composed of a pure and unadulterated W;ne, combined with Barberry, Soloman's Seal, Comfrey, Wild Cherry Tree Bark, Spi- kenard,Camomile Flowers, and Gentian.- They.are mannfactered by Dr. Dods himself, who is an experienced and mcceseful Physi- cian, and hence should not be classed among the quack nostrums which flood the country, and against which the Medical Profession are 80 justly prejudicep. These truly valitabie bitters have been thoroughly tested by all c;asses of the com• munity fer almost every variety of disease incident to the human cvstirn, that they are now deemed indispeasilde as a Tonic, Medicine and a Beverage.

LANGLEY VAN AUREN & LANGLEY, t�tflg arwaraing and Commission Merchants, Between Ramsey and Tyler Streets, LEVEE, HASTINGS, MINNESOTA , SPEECH OF LIEUT. GOV. DON- NELLY. DELIVERED OCTOBER 23D, 1882, AT HAMPTON, DAKOTA COUNTY, BEFORE THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR OF THE COUN- TIES OF RICE, GOODHUE, DAKOTA, AND WASHINGTON. Fellow-Citizens:—It ie indeed pleas- ant, amid all the distractions of war, to find so numerous an assemblage of our people, enjoying the relaxations of peace, and cheerfully anticipating a continuance of prosperity. It affords a striking commentary upon the vastness of our territory, that in one quarter such Scenes as this are possible, while in another, the most terrible struggle ever waged upon the surface of the globe, is being carried on. Nor is It leas an evidence of the excellent effect of our youthful and vigorus institutions upon the character of the people, that with unshaken confidence in the permanence of the Government, you can look forward to years of peace hearafter; and can busy yourselves now in devisingmeaae for improvement of your particular pur- suit. Such a confidence, although wise and just, is one that at this time must be founded upon eomething more tan• gible than mere patriotic instinct. Our people,—one in origin, language and inetitutione, and heretofore one in government,—are passing through the first of the many great ordeals which it ruay naturally be supposed will in the course of ages be inflicted upon them. In undergoing this trial there is lit- tle in the history of the Old World with which we can compare our pecu- liar circumstances, and still lees from which we can anticipate anything of our future. The first settlements upon our At• 'antic coast bore for a time some re• semblance to the colonies planted along the Meditteranean by the ancient republics and empires; but when those settlements expanded over the greater part of a continent, separated them- selves from the parent nation, and swelled to the number of many mill- ions of people, all similarity disappear- ed, and the fate of the one ceased to throw any light whatever upon the pos- sible destiny of the other. The civilization of Europe, it must be remembered, was either indigenous or grow from separated centres by slow accessions during many centuriee.— In the United States, on the contrary, civilization and population came to- gether, and on the instant a great people were thrown, fully armed, into the arena of events. In the ancient world, States repre- sented nations or races,—theirdistiuc• tions drawn from au immemo•ial era, and their boundaries defined by great natural features. In our own case we are essentially Ono people, a combina- tion of the best stocks of Europe, scattered profusely over a region of singular uniformity. In the ancient world, the course of historical events has been greatly effect- ed by those social distinctions which have grown out of the slow advance of civilization, innovating upon the forms of barbarism. Castes, repre- senting the ruler, the ruled and' the middle class, have modified religions, decided the event of wars, and settled the eomplexiou of governments. In our own country, on the other hand, the equality of the mase of the or- itiginacabll e coYlonists has been carefully pre, served and made the corner stone of our peculiar institutions. V'.re are thus given, in any effort to surmise our probable future but little light from the experiences of European nations; and are thrown back upon such guidance as human reason and a knowledge of the unit•ersal character- istics of human nature, will furnish us. While, therefore, as a people, our feet would seem to be upon the trem- bling crust of the earthquake, and while everything around is an ex- periment, it is not impossible that our future may assume shapes, either for good or evil, of which history has furnished ns neither indication nor ex- ample. a are engaged in solving a great pinblem'—Is our system of govern- ment, based upon the right of univer- sal suffrage and the political equality of all its members, permanently prac- ~7 But a year or two since, the public mind reposed in the conviction that our institutions were not only immor- tal, but that they were free from the ordinary conditions of mortal instru- ments—disease and derangement.— Late events have, however, greatly shaken the public faith in these re- ap,s. _The rebellion of the South is pro- nounced by Europeans, the death, not only of the nation, but of our free in- stitutions; and forebodings to the sante effect have not been wanting even among our own people�It is well un- der such circumstances to inquire somewhat into the ground upon which our faith in the perpetuity of the gov- e The is based. The theory of our government ie the absolute equality of all its members, without regard to the accidents of birth, education, wealth or intelligence (The right to govern being thus ma aT�d Ws property of the entire people, it be- coixes necessary for the instruction of the people that the most unlimited range of discussion should be permit- ted; and that not only eonnd political views. but the wildest possible vagar- ies of public opinion should exist un- checked among the people. There can thus be no limit to the range of popular conviction exeeptthe popular judgement educated _by expe- rience. The permanence of free insti- tutions, therefore, depends upon the soundnee of the judgement of the pop. thee; in other words, a free govern• ment must stand solely and ale up- on the good sense of the people. Were we to consider this aims y by the light of European experience, we should conclude that any nation so ea- tablised could not be permanent.— 'Our knowledge • -ef--eertier history," says that profound philosopher and historian, Fredcriuh Schlegel, "is much obsturerd by the fact that the system of absolute monarchy, or uni• versal egnality, whereof the latter so soon brings Lack the former, alone ar- rests the attention of must writers." These few worde are indeed pieg- nant with moaning: ''Whereof the latter so soon briuge back the former!" They sound like the warning voice of History, telling in our ears the unhap- py fate of popular governments in all former ages. It must, however, not be forgotten. that the experiments heretofore made in various ages of the world to estab- lish free institutions, have not been ac- companied by that degree of education and intelligence among the people, without which they are an impossibil- ity. The populations of former ages can bear no comparison whatever, in point of gene al education, with our people, or even with the present gen- eration of Europeans. '!'heir uniform tailuree, there, are not to be taken as an unanswerable testimony against the permanence of our form of govern- ment. Sufficient, howaver, is found in this uniform testimony of the past, to warn us against the evils of over confidence, and to teach us the wisdom of untir- ing watchfulness and vigilance. 'The chief danger which attends a free government, may be said to con- sist in the narrow line which separates reform from revolution. Peace and reason are the great ne- cesities of a Republic. Without Peace, the voice of Reason cannot be heard; without Reason, Peace cannot long continue to abide among us. -.2,‘ But frem the conetituttou of the human mind the popular conviction is more readily attained through the prejudices and the passions than through the judgement of the multi- tude. Hence, appeals to the reason rapidly pass into fanaticisms, agita- tions, excitements; and speedily we have al the violence, hatred, and feroc- ity of war without its weapons or its bloodshed But, it must he remembered, that the lino between words and blows is faint and slight indeed. To aim an infura- ted people is but the work of a mo- ment; and that which commenced as a reform may end in all the uproar and confusion of a revolution. The condition of thing which pro- duces this result is inevitable. It is impossible to stay the moves nt nt of reform, for it is the move- ment of the world. Humanity has advanced through the darkness of rev- olutions, guided along its path by the funeral fires of martyrs. "A really vital po r,' says uizot, "does not repose upon the destruction of all free life around it." It is by the north wind blowing from the north and the south wind blowing from the south, tho air is purified. Agitation is less to bo feared than stagnation — "Civalizetion,"says Schlegel, "is the result of the antagonism of manifold individual and isolated energies."— Wo cannot stop the month of the age even though its hands should prove the hands of a maniac. Here then is the danger:—A form of government in which unrestrained agitation is necessary and inevitable; and a constitution of the human mind in which unrestrained agitation tends naturally in the direction of revolu- tion. In other words, a form of govern- ment in which the fragile barrier of human wisdom is constantly stormed and assailed by the clamorous passions; eager to break through and precipitate themselves into the abyes of anarchy. How wisely, then, must that people act who are thus asked to impose re- straints and limitations on themselves; —to be to themselves a law and a gov- ernment? There ie no escape from the dark s wa of this picture. To remove the evils that accompany free government we would be compell- ed to ignore that spirit of liberalism which constitutes the actuating prin- ciple, and the living soul of all modern progress and development. We would be compelled to ignore freedom of the person, freedom of the mind, freedom of the soul, and that assertion of personal independence and individual right which constitutes the true basis of the universal justice of our age. To avoid a republic, we must go beck to the state of society which ex- isted before the invention of printing. To restrain the unlimited power of the many, we must accept the nnlimi• ted over of the few; carce any man as been found bo enough to question the mercy and benevolence of God as manifested in the fand movement of modern times est regions hove been re- deem rom the savage; great popu- lations have been raised from deg ada- tion and the moat grinding ileaury; education, civilisation, and chrtel;eeity, have been scattered like sun -lig `over the face of the world. The whole history of modern times is one • great affiamation that God is leadi4e for- ward our raced:ea of the darklebe of its early days, into the broad region of intelligent freedom. We moat then accept freedom with all its necessary consegneneyw-good and evil. We must echo to6 sonti• inent of Jefferson: "Better the dan gers of ton much than of too little lib erty." We meet take each seperate blessing of the world, with its accom- panying misfortune+. Wo must re- member that the very life in which we exult is lout a thread of accident reach ing through inumerable destructive forces. If then a free Government is the natural and inevitabe fruit of human advancement, and not a sickly excess springing from it, it is our duty to study carefully its weakness and guard vigilantly against its disorders. We should accept it as we do our hu- man body, conscious of ite bleasings. couacioue also of its infirtnities, ate' intend to expand its powesa of enjoy- ment and to study and remedy its dis- eases. Neither should we allow ourselves to be unnecesearily case down by the war in which wo find ourselves involved.— Ie it not peculiarly the result of our forth of government? Our civilization rose on the points of spears. The printing press and gun powder have gone forward through the world together—the explosions of the ono making way for the operations of the other. iTo form of Government can prevent wars. In ono, they epring from the ex- cesses of princes; in the other, from excesses of the populace. They are often due to gileat natural and physiological causes. Close observation can sometime. de- tect their approach. They are pre- ceded by a warlike spirit among the people; a fullness of blood—a plethora —arising from long continned peace and prosperity. Every fifty years a new generation conies in, who see war only through the picture -books and the stories of heroes. The same gen- erations, however, seek,t but one war. Historians remark with what singular patience the people who rose against Charles, bore the encroachments of James, and when at lest they changed their rulers, did so with peculiar mod- eration. One who studied the abundant pop- ulation and superabundant wealth of our people; the restlesse activity, and fullness of life and energy which char- acterized them, might have foreseen that in some quarter and upon some pretext or other, a great war was about to break out. The shock of the crisis of 1857 turned for a time the blaze of the popular energy from the pursuits of trade and concentrated it upon the politicil affairs of the Republic. A deep seated disease, long hidden in the system, needs what physicians call "and exciting cause," to bring it to the surface. A slight cold is thus often held responsible for the results of and hereditary dieorder. The Repub- lic found its "exciting cause" in the institution of slavery. Let ne seek to understand the inean• ing of that institution. The voluntarily toil of roan due to one or two motives: his personal appe- tites and necessities, or the protection and support of those dear to him — '1'lte rewards of his toil are thus' con- centrated in himself or in those upon whom he has placed his affection — He works voluntarily for Rome mo- tive sufficient to himself. He enjoys all the results of his own labor. The condition of slavery, on the oths er hand, is that wherein, although the labor continues, every personal motive of the laborer is absent, except only the fear of punishment. Neither per- sonal hope, ambition, nor avarice; nei- ther the love of wife or child nor the anticipation of future enjoyment, actu— ate the poor victim. The frnite of his toil, except some such poor pittance as is given his fellow laborer, the ox, goes to another. He can claim to own nei- ther his wife, his children, nor himself. His labor, his life, his body, even to the very marrow of his bones, and the very offspring of his loins, by some strange fiction of law, belong not to himself but to another. The mere statement of such a terrible condition furnishes its own utter con- demnation. The human mind cannot conceive any outrage or series of out- rages upon humanity, more awful than is contained in this institution. The mere termination of human life by the hands of the assassin, would, to the freeman, be preferable to this prolong- ed moral, physical and social death. To the master such a state of things is fruitful in weeltb. The slave repre- sents so much labor power, robbed of the ordinary motives of the laborer, but driven forward by the lash, and pour- ing the fruits of his toil into the lap of hie owner.

As the laborer sank in the scale the master rose into an artificial social cultivation. The refinements of life were thus gaper imposed upon the degradation and wrong of those who produced the wealth of the community. In the two sections of the country an antagonism commenced. Tboae who posse -a d this hold upon the unrequited labor of human beings were naturally solicitioue to widen the field of their operations, and carry their human ma- chinery into the new territories acquir- ed by the government. It wits impossible for the white la- borer, possessed of but one pair of arms, and burdened by the care of a well fed, well-dressed end well-educated family. to compete with the nwner of a thou- sand arms—mere annual arms—free from all corresponding intellectual and social burdens. Until the white farmer could pro- cure some machine which, like the slave, would combine intellect of the human laborer with the animal neces- sities of an ox, and could multiply that machine indefinitely, hecould not com- pete with the sleveholder. The unaided labor of the individual was thus forced to contend against a great organized system of labor -robbery; rand the white man was driven, in the slave communises, to either own the slave or sink below him. Equality with these brutalized laborers, or com- petition with them, were equally im'. possible. Where this terrible system imping- ed uson the region inhabited by white voluntary laborers, patiently employed in the task of developing the splendid civilization inherited by their race, a contest followed. It was like the old struggles of the Gauls and Germans for territory—a fight along a boundary line between two expanding and an- tagonistic forces. It bas been found fruitless to cry cat against the agitation of this sub, jest That which profoundly concerns the interests of then cannot bo kept from their thoughts, or long prevented from entering into their politics; and nseur- edly no theme could be presented more important to the American people, than the question whether or not the slave system should swallow up the entire labor -power of the country. Compar- ed with this issue, all others sank into insignificance. It was preeminently the question of the age, and the poli- tics of the country instinctively cluster- ed around it as around a great central necessity. The truth lay so plain—the danger was so imminent anti pressing—the is- sue so incapale of compromise, that the whole free labor region was com- pelled to array itself against the ex- pansion of its dangerous antagonist. Edmund Burke has said. "It is a law of nature that whatever is neces- sary to what we have made our object is sure, in some way, or in some time or other, to become our master." The entire thoughts, hopes, ambi- tion, wealth and happiness of the Southern people had become intej sen with the institution of slavery institution of slavery was the South; its be all and its end all. To resist the expansion of slavery was to .resist the growth of the Southern people. It is impossible that o , whose whole life is based upon a great public wrong, should be prompt to respect any human right. He who makes his existence a continued robbery of his fellow man, cannot be expected to re- gard the interests of humanity in the abstract. With, therefore, the spirit of the blind Samson, when he seized the pil- lars of the temple, the people of the South have sought to bury in one com- mon ruin, themselves aQd_their men, and to overwhelm in undistin guiebable destruction the hopes of hu- manity and all the rights of after gen- erations. Not permitted to defile and pollute every chamber of the temple of human liberty, they have strained eve- ry nerve to bring the whole edifice to the ground. They bus sought to make themselves “the architects of rnin." Their success would be the calamity of the world.

Remember that destruction of the hydra, the power will cease. In all those portions of Europe, Asia, and even of Africa, where population is as dense as it is now in the Southern States, the people are driven into in• duatry by the mere force of their ani- mal necessities. China, inhabited 'by R yellow race, ie one vast, swarming hive of laborers. India, inhabited by a race nearly as dark as our own ne- gtoee, has enriched England and half of Europe by the accumulated results of the industry of its people. Egypt, inhabited by a people as dark se the majoriey of our own negroes, was the granary of the aneient world. and seems to bo fast using into al ntoet equally consequence in our own day. In dense populations, the issue is. esaarily, labor or death. The adorn- mentsof civilization rise on the neces- sities of the appetites. There are no sharper thongs in the slaveltolder's lash than hunger, thirst, cold, and the cries of wife and child for food and shelter. It is idle to enppoce that the negroes, men with instincts and wants like ourselves, will prefer starvation to work; or that they will require incentives to toil, different from those which actu- ate, and have actuated, all the various- ly colored races of the world. Four millions of laborers, laboring and singing, singing with joy for free. dom, with joy for unfrancbised wife and children, with joy for hope and prospect in the future, would make the South what India is to England, and ever increasing, overflowing foun- tains of wealth. I say nothing about governmental questions. 'fine and the wisdom of our people must be looked to to settle them. There is a wide difference how- ever between capacity to enjoy person al freedom and capacity to carry on a free government. The former belongs to all men; the latter only to the intel- ligent and the educated. But who will argue thst he who cannot reason prop erly on political subjects is unfit to ens joy the fruits of his own toil, or pos- sess the custody of himaelf, his wife or his children? Surely such an inter- pretation would speedily ecnsigu the minority among ourselves, whether Democrats or Republicans, to the auc- tion block. Neither is it to be feared that the emancipation of the slaves will tend to amalgamation and to a fusing of the two races in one miserable hybird. Statistics, derived from the United States census, ehow that the process of amalgamation is carried to a much greater extent in the South than in the North; to a much greater extent bee tween the master and hie slave than be. tween the free white and the free ne• The repugnance which God bas set between the two races was undoubted- ly meant to preserve them separate and apart. Such instincts come from the conscience of nature, and are not to be violated without disastrous consequen- ces. Neither is it well that the two races should live together m the same com- munity. Irremediable aocial inequali- ties tend to the abasement and degrada- tion of the inferior caste. It is bard to expect elevation of mind or morals initkose whom all mankind have united fa treating with eontamaly and abuse. the forward movement of humanity Let us then, thank God that when this war ie over we shall have secured a bond of fortune, and have trebly as- sured the permanent peace and pros- perity of the nation. 13y thin act the labor power of the South will not bo diminished. It is nothing concerns you more nearly than the nation. Next, eat us dismiss at once and for- ever from our minds, any solution of our present trouble which does not comprehend within itself the re estab- lishment of our governmeut. over the whole territory of the Untitd States. Whichever section proves the weaker in this contest must submit to the dom- ination of the stronger. This neces- sity grows inevitably out of the con- stitn:ion of the human mind, Nothing but a great league and cov- enant prevents to day the merger of ;all the nations of Europe into ono. This was the meaning of the coalition against France w hen Napoleon threatened td absorb the cen'it.oat. This it was that saved France from annihilation when she lay helpless at the feet of Europe. This balance of the nations is tote' result of centuries on centuries of wan- k is the compact of strong men who, having tested, have agreed to respect and fear each other. In our own conn• try, stroll a state of things could only/ come to pass after eevetal military des-, potisme had in turn exhausted thetit. selvee in fruitless efforts at conquest. Such a condition presupposes the de- struction of the government, the de, etrnction of liberty an 1 the annihilation of individual prosperity. That abyss, neither you nor I, my friends, can hope to pass. Therefore, presevering in your de- termination to re establish the Union, let no defeat dishearten yon. Remem- ber that battles are made decisive only by the condition of the hearts of the defeated people. Waterloo settled the fate of Europe, not because of the num• slaughtered on the field, but because of the already exhausted condition of France. '!'hat which stimulated to greater exertion at one stage of the con• flict, may prove to be totally destructive at another. Let ne then follow the exemplo of England. Her groat power today is the result of the dogged perseverance and unshaken obstinacy with which she has, through all dangers, pursued the line of her national interest. Her greatness depends upon the ;persistent determination of her people. Her glory is the result of a rece8characteris- tic. Haring calm's resolved that this great nation must be held together by one end only one government, let us preen forward to this end, no matter what disasters fate may heap upon our heads. Upon the altar of this idea let its be prepared to lay our entire conntry.

The purpose of the Admiral seems to be to stop this contraband trade, if possibte, and, tui the surest method of doing so, he watches the eteamers from the. :mouth of Si. George's harbor. So long as he does not violate international law, no difficulty need be apprehended; The Admiral is well read in legal lore, and will be induced, in his zeal to.serve the interests of his country, to act 118 close ly to the limit of international law as he can do with safety. In any' event, he will not, it inay be presumed, over- step the bounds of justice.

The advance of the At my of the Po. tomac begins to asetune an interest that has not hitherto attended its progress. The occupation of Snicker's Gap is deemed of sufficient importance to le healed to the couutry in an official dispatch. We may soon expect to hear of events that will startle the country. General Marcy'a dispatch, it will be seen, is addressed to the President, which confirms the state- ment made sometime ego, that Mr. Lincoln had taken the Army of the Potomac under his especial charge. A report comes to Cairo by way of Corinth, that Mobile is ours.

Fremont's German friends in St. Louis have presented hint with a magnificent sword. The ladiee have given hint it white satin sash. :7 The custom of presenting lead- ing officers with swords (not one of whieis is ever carried into battle, a cheap serviceable weapon being always used there) has late;' received a dam- aging blow from Brig. Gen. ,Nelson Taylor, a gallant soldier of New Yorl. The Common Council having under- taken to present awords to every com- manding officer of note from that State came round, in course of time, to Brig. Gen. Taylor. Whereon the General, in a polite note, begged leave to des dine the sword, and the libertrufaug- gesting that the 8800 appropriated for it should be laid out in cork legs ansi arms for brave men who have lost a limb iaithe service of their country. The idea of a maia declining the gift -of the Common Council, and advising such an eccentric diversion of the funds; took the Common Council so much by, bur - prise, that, at lut amounts, they, 'had not determined what to do with the' General's recerninendation . ereVe The severity with which the conscription act of the rebel govern- ment is enforced, may be judged from the following facts: In Oecoquan, a small town on Occequan Creek, hi Prince William cc unty, Virginia, there were, before the war, between two and three hundred iutiabitants• Now, ouly ten 'male citizens remain, and they are upward of seventy years old.

A gentleman lately from Richmond says the rebels have every confidence in her capabilities, and are certain that she will prove a success. When the people of the North hear that the Merrimac No. 2 is a failure, that the iebels deny her te be so, then they may expect, to see her cotne out and do all the damage she can. Their in- tentions are to delude and deceive as touch as possible, so as to take us naps ping. It is for this reason that a reb. el officer made a remark that obstruc- tions in the James river had all been removed, intending evidently to cons vey the idea that the obstructiona were removed to let the Merrimac No. 2 out. 1C7A correspondent writing from the battle ileld at Corinth, says:—It is here now well known that this brittle was fought as General Rroseerene had supposed and planned. He was fully informed by his scouts of the approach. Ile, as well as the enemy, knew his weakest and their best place bf ap• proach.

"Don't be alarmed;I am 'wc;rking the wild hog plan of baiting them in." They were baited in, and dreadfully beaten out. sUrSecrotary Chase told a number of gentlemen who called on him, that his only apprehension touching finan- cial matters, were born ofhis fears that Sbe war might not. be prosecuted with vigor, sod that on this point be had much more hope of late. Had the war been waged according to bis' wishes, two objects very dear to ths' western people would 'have been accompiished before now. • AY Gen.

France has 10 iron•caaed floating batteries, 4 large iron frigates, and 2 rams, and has on the :stocks 10 iron frigates and 4 batteries, b:tech can an tr. ) -+ a egletesr.iti 'imA etaleete ge nate: The7English hare,0 kens trivets, but are Imilding T icon shipseand are cas- ing fire otr six ships with iron. Mt. McKay -Mints thesis French- a nd- Eng- tivh ships altogether elperior to our Monitors, which he says cannot live in a heavy seaway, and a heavy frigate would run them down. Mr. McKay says: "If we compare with these immense fleeti the ironeased navy of the United St'impartially, we bare to acknow1- ed10 bat in case of A war with either of th ee rowers, we would have to keep_entirely on the defensive, to sub- mit"roa disgrseefni blockade, and to leavtour merchant ships all over the glob; to the mercy ot our enemy. All the Monitora, which we ere building by the lozen. are very well to defend our har'ors, but they are entirely un• fit to .rak a blockade, or to act on the higyseas, for to any that these ves- sels are good eeaboata, or suitable for men to live in,' is Simply rieliculous, in which statement I will be upheld by riII eXperienced sailors and abipbuilders of any note. With their very light draught of water these ?donators never can obtein a high degree of epeed, and if ever they should fall in with any of the large frigetes in deep water they will be terribly handled, and in all probability run down. Do not think that Haiti certild not be done because the Merrimac failed in her attempt to run down the Monitor. She struck with a ftpeed of three or four knots, or even not as Match as that, but a mass of six to tune thousand tons in weight driven at a !speed of 12 to 14 knots, would give a different result. "Of all the iron -cased ships which we have. the only one might succeese fully cope with large English frigates is the Ironsides, built in Philadelphia. She is well planned, and her practical construetion very Well executed, but her speed is too slow to use the good poiuts of the vessel to advantage, and the w ay of fastening her plates will not stand the test or a heavy cannon tide, for in'England with armor plates, similarly faetened hy screw bolts screw et' iu from the inside, the bolts broke offairort on .the inside of the plate whenever a !teary ehot strnck the pLite near such bolts. It is batisfactory to know that Mr. Webb has got a con- tract for building an iron•cased ship according to his own plans. He cer- tainly will produce something able to compete with any European frigate." In conclusion, Mr. McKay suggests the construction for our navy of twenty to thirty fast iren•cased shellproof cor- vettes, of aboot ten to twelve heavy guns eech, end of a moderate draught of water, vitith high speed; and about twenty to thirty fiftyegun frigate, not cased, for foreign' service, and as many sloops, or foerteen to twenty-four guns, of the highee't speed obtained, so that they may be enabled to,, strike unex- pected blows and to evade their iron. casedadversaries, which never will ob- tain the same high speed at sea as can be given to them. , .— The Deelocratie victory in In- diana and the election 'of a Democratic Legislature in that State, are thought by some to augur the ARCMS of Jesse D. Wight, and render his prospects cer- tain for re election to the Uoited States Senate. But we learn that such is not the case. There are two kinds of Derne ocrate in. the West who are known re- spectively as "war sympathizers" and "cupperheals." To the latter. class Mr 'bight belongs, and the war Dem- ocrats—a majority of whom have been returned to the Legislature—would not touch him on any account. The :war wing of the Democracy favors Hon. Joseph A. Wright, who now holds the seat in the Senate undo Gov. Mor. ton's "appsintment, and by the aid of a few cocservative Republican votes his position can be made permanent for six year.. ..S1rNegro property in Missouri lias depreciated, and' it is said te be nearly impossible to sell a slave anywhere in the country' ' for one fifth the ' ordinary • '- ' price, whilii every other species of property has increase I in value. A Sc. Genevieve paper reports a stam- pede of negroes from that county.— Slaves have long ceased to b,e of Talmo in the counties adjohaing Kansas. The countiee between Kansas City and the town in Atchison county, on the St. Louis side of the river, ire said t�. be patrolled ,.by the 'enrolled militia to prevent the escape of slaves from in- land counties. There were only. four . teen hundred slaves in St. Louis twit) yeare ago, and the beet judges noweti- timate that there are less titan five bun- dled, and these principally old and de-- crepii hobae servants.

Come, all of you, friends of progress. The hour has sounded for the war of tbe great. humanitarian principles of progress against a vile and sordid in- teleet which engenders peide; ambition, hypocracy, falsehood, and eilences the voice of concience, this heavenly voice, which cries incessantly to man: "Thou art born of liberty and happiness!

It publishes, besides, are tides specially directed against Slave- ry, and stirring appeals to the colored race to join the legions of the Union army. Pr The Richmond Examiner of a late date save it is proposed in some parts of the South to make a forced conscription of slaves for purposes of Tabor, and it adds: "As the war originated and is carried on in great part for the defence of the slaveholder in his property, rights, and the perpetuation of the institution, he ought to be First and forerhost in aid- ing, by every means in his power, the triumph and -uccess of our anus. -- The slaveholdor ought to remember that for every negro be thus furnishes he puts a soldier in the ranks." SILVIA:R-1TR PREMIUM AND SCARCI• IY.---Inastnuch as gold constitutes the hulk of the specie exported, it is fi puz- zling question to many, merchants in. eluded, why silver Should be 'so scarce, and why it should command nearly so great a premium as gold. In brief the three following are the chief reasons why silver ie no longer in general cur- rency and commands its present pe- ntium: 1st. It is wanted for Canada trade. In the Canada market ailrer is as good as gold, and in play for the large amount of Canada produce which we receive, of course the. specie which can be obtamed at the lowest premiutn is preferred, whenever it is necessary to pay in specie. 2nd. For the reason that silver is lower than geld, silver is preferred for 4'boarding." There are many persons, particularly those retired froru busier:se who have cash capital and are in fear of a further depreciation in paper cur- rency, Who are converting their money into specie, and prefer silver as it is lower than gold. 31.. The difference in the foreign Imo kets between gold and silver would cause it to be taken for export in place of gold. The el.ift•rence in the premium on gold and silver is about five per cent. e_.

The subscribers now only ask a trial of Dr.J.Bovee Dod's Imperial Wine Bitters from all who hare not used them. We chal lenge the world to produce their equal. These Bitter; far the cure of Weak Stom• ache, General Debility, and for Purifl ing and Enriching the Blood, are absolutely unsur- passed by any other reined) on earth. To be assured of this, it ie only necessary to make the trial The Wine itself ie of a very superior quality, being about one third stron- ger than other wines; warming and invigor. ating the whole system from the head to the feet. Aft the" Bitters are tonic and alters. tive in theireeharacter, so they strengthen and invigorate the whole eystem and give a fine tone and healthy action to all its parts, by equalizing -the eirculation, removing ob- structions, an producing a general warmth. They are also excellent for diseases and weak - nes peculiar to Females, where a tonic is required to strengthen and brace the system. No lady, who is subject to lassi- tude and faintness, should be without them, as they are revivify in their action. TiiESE BITTERS Will not only Cure, bit prevent Disease and in this reepoet ace doubly valuablo to the person who meg use them.

For�tl.e aged and infirm, and for peruses of a weak constitution; for Ministers of the Gos pep, Lawyers, and all public epeakere; for Book-Kaepe:s, Tailors, eumotresee, Stu dents, Artiste, and all persons leading a sed entary life, they will prove truly beneficial, As a Beverage, they are wholesome, illllo cent and delicious to the taste. They pro duce all the exhilerating effects of Brandy or Wine, without intoxicating; and are ,. valua- ble remedy for persons addicted to the use of excessive strong drink, and who wish to re frain from it. They are pure and entirely free fron, the poisons contained in the adulter- ated Wines and Liquors with wlrich the country is flooded. These Bitters not only (lure, but Prevent Disease, and should he used by all who live in a co'mtr} where tne eater is bad, or where Chills and Fevers are prevalent Being en- tirely innocent and harmless, they may be given freely to Children and infants with im• purity. Physicians, Clergymen, and temperance advocates, es an Rot of humanity, RiloUld as- sist in spreading these truly valuable BIT TERS over the land, and thereby essentially aid in banishing deenkcnnees and disease. In all affections of the Iiead, Sick Headache, or Nervous headache Dr. Dods, imperiel Wine Bitters will be found to be most salutary and ef- ficacious. P'ema1eos The many certificates which have been ten- dered ue, and the letters which we are daily receiving, are conclusive proof that among the women these Bitter, have giuen a satis- faction which no other, have ever done be• fore. No woman in the land should be with out thein, and those wlio once use them will not fail to keep a supply. DR. J BOVEE DODS' IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS are prepared by an eminent phyetctan who has used them enccessfully in his practice for the last twenty-five years. The proprietor, before purchasing the exclusive right to man- ufacture and sell Dr. J. Bovee Dods' Celebra- ted Imperial Wine Bittere, had them tested by two distinguished medical practitioners who pronounced them a valuable remedy for disease. Although the medical men of the country. as a general thing disapprove of Patent Med- icines, yet we do not believe that a respectn ble Physician can be found in the United States, acquainted with their medical prop- erties, who will not highly approve Dr. J. Bovee Dods' Imperial Wine Bitters. All newly settled places, where there is al- ways a large quantity of decaying timber from which a poisonous miasma is created, .hese bitters should be used every morning nefore breakfast, DR. J. BOVEE DODS' IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS Is composed of a pure and unadulterated W:ue, combined with Barberry, Soloman's Seal, Comfrey, Wild Cherry Tree Bark, Spi- kenard ,Camomile Flowers, and Gentian. - They are manufactured by Dr. Dods himself, who is an experienced and successful Physi- clan, and hence should not be classed among the (lunch nostrums which flood the country, and against which the Medical Profession are en etly pre judice Twhese truly vaP,uab,e lettere have been thoroughly tested by nil classes of the com- munity for almost every variety of disease incident to the human s3 -stem, that they are now deemed indisjeasible as a Tonic, Medicine and se Beverage.

THE TELEGRAPEIIC' NEWS. By order of the President, Gen. Mc- Clellan has been relieved from the com- mand of the army of the Potomac and (sen. Burnable appointed in his place. Hooker takes Fitz John Porter's corps, who is summoned to Washing- ton to stand trial on charges preferred by Gen. Pope. Gen. Wool has bees superceeded by Gen. Schenck, of Ohio, at Boltiroore, Gen. Bottler has taken posession of the plantations ,below New Orleans, and is9 n setting the he contrabands to work. Dispatches to the papers state that the rebel forces are retreating to Gor- donsville. and will there give us battle. Our forces were at Culpepper Cour House on Friday last. The New York Times' story "bon threatening dispatches from the French Government having been presented t Secretary Seward, is denied by the French minister. The report about an important Cabinet meeting, and what Get,. llalleck said about a levy en masse of our whole postulation, is, o course, equally destitute of foundation. Monday last was the day appointed for the draft in Milwsukee, which is some hundreds behind its quota. A procession composed of Germans and others paraded the streets with a band of music and a banner inscribed "no draft." As there was no nrillit. ry force to protect the commissioner, he rieclined to proceed. and subsequently the Governor postponed the drist until further orders. When the day is again fixed, there will probably be a force at hand to repel any out break. Nashville is relieved from siege '.len. Mt Cook's division arrived in the city on Thursday last, and the rebel forces evacuated Murfreesboro and Mc- Mlinville, and are reported to have gone to Chattanooga. There has been a great deal said about the army of the Potomac not being supplied with clothing. It ap- peers now that, the requisitions were tilled, but delays in transportation pre- atn•ed their reception by the army. OFFICIAL VOTE OF DAKOTA COUNTY. len, (Dem ) is elected as repreeetative in Congress for the State at large, by not less than I5,00 majority. The delegation in Congress from this State will be five Republicans and nine Dem- ocrats. The legislature is overwhelm ingly democratic, which ensures the elections of a democratic Senator in place of Mr. Browning. The intense radicalism of the Chicago Tribune in branding as traitors such men as Sen- ator Browning, Mr. Kellog, of the House, and hundreds of other consens vative mets in the army and out of it, has probably had something to do with the, disastrous defeat. NEw JERSEY ELECTION.—TheDem- ocrats in New Jersey have carried the lower House of the Legislatnre and probably the Senate. They will have ten or twelve majority on joint ballot, which secures the election of a Demo- cratic United States Senator in place of Thompson, deceased. They have also elected their Governor, by 6,000 to 8,000 majority. Rogers, Steele, and Terry, all Democrats, are certainly elected to Congress. MASSACEIUSETrs ELECTION,—Goy. Andrew is re-elected by about 20,000 t majority. The whole Republican tick. et, State and Congressional, is elected, t excepting in the Third District, where John S. Sleeper defeats A. H. Rice. o Mr. Sleeper was on the People's ticket. He was an old line whig, and has al. ways acted with the republican party until the late election. He was form• erly editor of the Boston Journal, f TiiE 'TEX.SS EXPEDITION —The Texas expedition is full of promise and hope to the cause of the Union. It will at once establish free labor even further South than slave labor has yet extend, ed; and it will in a short time restore to us a supply cf cotton, the wart e f which is beginning to be seriously felt, The great extent of country em- braced within tl;e limits of Texas, stretcbin, , as it does, through ten and a halt degrees of latitude, (from lat. 26 to 30 degs. 30 min) and with a surface rising from the level of the sea to an altitude r f more than 2,000 feet, gives it a variety of prorlucticn rarely enjoyed by any one State or country. In the north it is a fine wheat producing country. The vast plains of the interior are admirably adapted to corn and pasturage, and also to upland cotton; while, towards the coast, cotton, sugar and rice flour- ish. Few regions on this continent are so well adapted to sheep as Texas, es- pecially the western portion. Under and enlightened system of free labor, it would soon become one of the most prosperous sections of the United States. The occupation of Texas, trg'ther with the possession of New Orleans and itis Mississppi river, would at once extinguish every restage of Confeder ate authority in Western Louisiana, and also in Arkansas, giving us undis- puled ,possession of .both Red and Ars kausas ria•ers—ivi .fact of all west of the Mississippi. ,C0' Gen. Banks declares that the present winter is not to be lost in inac tivity. The government, he says, is determined to put forth its strength, for numerous expeditions are on foot that cannot, if vigorously pressed, but be fatal to the revolted States. Gen.

Gen. Banks re- ceived the most cordial and enthusias tic hospitality during his brief visit in Boston.

Mitchell, at the present juncture of af- fairs, is a great national calamity. He was one of the few general officers who, with small means have been able to acs complish Iarge results. Unlike many of our generals, be was not unknown to fame before the commencement of the war. His reputation was not only national, but European—as one of the ablest astronomers in the world. General Mitchell was a native of Kentucky, though sent from Ohio to West Point, where he graduated with distinguished honor. After a short military career, he resigned and en- gaged in civil pursuits. He was known to the public as Pro- fessor of Mathematics in Cincinnati College, Engineer of the Little Miami Railroad, founder and Director of the Cincinnati Observatory, Engineer of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, Adjut- ant General of,Ohio, and Director of the Dudley Astronomical Observatory at Albany, New York. In these several departments of la- bor, General Mitchell has discharged his ditties with marked ability and sue - cess. In his favorite science—aetrono- my—lie had few equals, and no supe- riors in the world. He entered the military service, we believe, from New York, and entered upon hie work with the same tireless energy that had characterized his form- er labors. More than a year ago he commenced fortifying Cincinnati, and the work was snspendetl by orders from Weeh- ington. Future events jnetified h s plans, and proved his remarkable mili- tary prescience. His later military history is known and read by all men. Ile was one of the few leading Generals to whom the country looked for deliverance in the present crisis. Ills patriotism no man gnestioned; and his daring energy and brilliant dash were denounced only by the apol. ogists for treason. It is understood that General Mitch• ell—among the last official acts of his life—had asked to be reinforced, or to be relieved of his command, t, -The latest reports from the South say that the Confederates utter direful maledictions agairst Memphis; have all business houses except eight spotted; intend making a raid and burn all up except the house" recogniz- ed as sympathizers. They are only waiting to see what course Gen. Sher- man intends pursuing in regard to the proscribed families. Qia-Lieutenant Brennan, Fourth United Staten Infantry, has been tried by court martial, and found guilty ot "absence without leave," and "conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline,' and sentenced to be dis- missed from the eel vice of the United 1 FROM THE SOUTH. The Grenada (Mise.) Appeal of the 29th alt., has the following: NEW ORLEANS. The Mississippian has late informa- tion from New Orleans, gleaned from a gentleman just from that unfortunate city. On K'ednesday last the new Abolition Brigade, under Brig. Gen. Weitzel, (late acting mayor of the city) consisting of seven regiments of infan- try (two of them negroes) a squadron of cavalry, and four pieces of artillery, were sent up the river. At the same time five or six gunboats and trans- ports sailed down the river, bound for Berwick Bay, to co-operate with the land forces. It was well understood in the city that this expedition of pirates and robbers was intended to devastate that rich and beautiful country lying in the neighborhood of Bayou Teche. This section of Louisiana abounds in sugar, mofasse. and cotton, all of which, together with the negroes, were to be "confiscated" by these abolition thieves. Many persons were leaving the city who bad not taken the oath. They were obliged to use every strategy and means to obtain passes, and with the powerful aid of the almighty dollar, they generally succeeded. It was ru- mored and believed that Butler intend- ed to send out of the city those who bad, in the face of all intimidations, taken certificates declaring themselves "enemies of the United States," and among this class, strange as may ap• pear, were many free colored citizens. Under the action of the infamous confiscation net, the provost marshal hal already held some sales of very valuable property—such as silver-t,•are, pictures, libraries, and fine household fur niture. Butler had changed his resident* from Gen. 'I'wigg's house to the costly and elegant palace of Dr. Campbell. on the the corner of St. Charles and Julia streets. The M ontgo•s'ery .,rail states that reports have reached high r fficial quer. ters in that city, announcing that Bragg is to be superseded by Gen. Jos eph E. Johnson, who will at once as - suttee command of the army of Tennes- see. The Richmond Examiner of the 21st says: The war department receive, et,terdny two letters from Gen. Bragg, which it has not been deemed consist- ent with the public good to lay before the people. \Ve are, therefore, most unwillingly forced to the conclusion that the pees they contsin is unfavor- able to the cause of the confederacy. though we hear it stated by persons who have enjoyed a glimpse at the document, that General Bragg claims a victory at Perrysville, and says that Ire only retreated when he found his communications threatened. THE FLOATING BATTERY "GEORGIA " —The floating battery "Georgia" at Savannah, mast be a very formidable boat, or bantery, as ono may please to term it. We notice in a card publish el in the Savannah Republican, that "Capt.

THE APPROACHING CRISIS. From the lifeline*, Dispatch Oct.23. The very first day of the late session we appealed to Congrees, in the strong eat terms we were capable of employ- ing, to pass all the laws necessary to give coseription full effect as soon as possible. Instead of doing so, they wasted six weeks in discussing the Conscription Bill, which, after all, was passed under the spur of the previous question. The members seemed to be seized with the same lethargy that be - mimed their faculties at Manassas. They thought that because our troops had driven the enemy from Richmond, there was no more fighting. In this delusion they were encouraged by the President, who told them that no immediate increase of the army was neccessary. The infatuation that dic- tated such an annunciation was amaz• lug. The Yankees had not only de- termined on, but had already begun to levy a new force of six hundred thou- sand men. That force, we repeatedly declared, would be raised in a short time, and we were not wrong. It is al- ready raised, in great part—is drilling as rapidly as it can, and by the time the cold weather sets in, will be upon its. We shall have another "on to Richmond," end that in a very short time. ie The advance of McClellan in- dicates as much. Rut an advance in that direction will not be all. Sigle's levies, if we are to credit the Yankee accounts, are to bear down upon us from Wa•hington by:the line of the Or- ange and Alexindria Railroad. They are to accomplish the two fold task of taking Rietimontl and cutting off Gen. Lee. That great military oracle, the New York Tomes, has already laid town the programme. Nothing is easier, it thinks, than to march straight into Richmond; and if permitted to be done, undoubtedly nothing would be easier. The Herold, in its peculiar style, calls upon us to lay down otir arms and submit to the Yankees. Where there is much smoke there is sire to he some fire. Through the mist of all this vaporing we can per- ceive a steady purpose to push ne to uttermost. An invasion is designed to which all that we have yet seen of invasion is mere child's play. We speak it—not for the purpose of crests ing unnecessary alarm—but warn our people of what they have to expect, an O d t prepare them for the occasion. We kow not what preparation may have be,•n made to meet and repel the fore, but we know that the authorities aro well aware of his intentions. We hope, therefore, that everything has been done which the occasion re- quires, The peaplo of the Confederate States will inert this new invasion as they met that which proceeded it— with the protnptnses and gallantry be corning men who have no snpericr i those qualities, anti with that canines which nerves the soul to dare the nt most that an enemy can inflict. 5eV have no belief that we can be finell beaten here upon our own soil, fight mg for our altars and our firesides. But we must dismiss all illusion„ agreeable as they may be, and leer to look at the grim reality. It is n•a in km most gloomy aspect that we ar called upon to endure.

THE RevcNUB,—The influx of mon- ey into the 'treasury in the shape of taxes upon luxuries, salaries, remuner- ative real estate, bonds, checks, and, all descriptions of bills, leaving small tanners and operatives almost entirely unscratched, indicates a wonderful rev- enue. An intelligent assessor in the city of New York says that from all sources in that Metropolis and Brook - lye) alone, a nett revenue of one han- ,tred millions will be secured. And if this is so of a single locality, what may we not expect from the country at large? I oppose these healthy and cheerful facts to that traitorous disaf- fection which, while refusing to de- nounce the rebellion, busies itself in deceiving the free people of the free States, and in weakening our public servants at the head of the Administree tisn and the Federal Government.—J, W.

From the Pine and Patin. 'Twas but a word, a carless word; As thistle down it seemed as light; It paused a moment on the air, Then onward winged its flight. Another lip caught up the word, And breathed it with a haughty sneer; It gathered weight as on it sped— That carless word, in its career. Then Rumor caught the fl} ing word, And busy Gossip gave it weight, Until that little word became A vehicle of angry hate. And then that word was winged with firer, Its mission was a thing of pain, For soon it fell like lava drops, Upon awidly tortured brain. And then another page of life With burning scalding tears was blurred; A load of care was heavier ❑m.de— Its added weight, that careless word. That carless word, oh! how it searched A fainting, bleeding, quivering heart; 'Twas like a hungry fire, that searched Through every tender, vital part. How widly throbbed that netting heart; Deep agony its fountain stirred; It calmed, but bitter ashes mark The pathway of that carless word. „GONE '1'0 THE WAIL" Looking over some old notes and papers, the other day, I took up a small, white, folded paper, and open• lig it, I came upon a beautiful gold eu curl of softest hair. \l;:rked on Ito nisi le of the paper was the ,et name of the lovely child trout w•i,o•c head I had clipped the 1in�let years ago. 1 w•nndeie�l where lie might be now, and what ho might be doing..

THAT'S WHAT'S THE MATTER 1"— We have at last found out the origin of this popular phrase. A friend of ours who had been absent all summer, returning a few days since, called upon an estimable lady friend. He was sur- prised to find her confined to a sick bed. After the salutations were over, our friend remarked: "Why, Mrs. , I am very sorry to find you ill—what is the matter?" Quickly reaching over to the back of the bed, the invalid turned down the coverlid, disclosing a beautiful infant, wrapped in the em• brace of the rosy god, and said trium- phantly, "that's what's the matter,"— Lacrosse Democrat,_ jegr He who loves money more than himself will infallibly rate it above honesty, and will stretch a point and and unloose conscience, when oaportu• nity opens any prospect of gain. A PLEASANT FAMILY. The errant editor of the Henderson Times, in the course of his wanderings, has picked up some interesting intelli- gence, showing the "unhealthy feeling prevading hundreds," and, he fears, "thousands of families in East Tennes- see." He gives the following inter- view between a Confederate officer and a Lincolnito family on Powell's River: At Powell's River I stopped and en- gaged more milk of an old Lincolnite jade, keen ns brier, and mother of three (and I don't know how many more) rather nice looking gale. She complained to me of having been rude- ly treated by a North Carolina officer, the morning gprevious. Arriving at camp I informed the officer of the la- dy's story, and he told the that know- ing their political status, he had placed a guard around the house to keep any of the family from going to the Gap while our army was crossing the riv- er, and that in the. meantime the fol- lowing conversation took place: Officer (entering the house)—Good morning ma'am. No answer. Where is your husband, ma'am? Old Woman—None of your bus.. nese, you rebel, yon. Officer—I know. He is in the Yon• kee army. Old Woman—Well he is. What are you going to do ubout it? He is iu the First Tennessee federal regi ment at Cumberland Gap, and will take off your rebel head if you go up there. Officer—Yes. But we have him and your Gen. Morgan's whole cows mend completely surrounded—hem- med in—with an army on both sides of the Gap, and in a few days they will be starved out, and have to surrender upon our own terms. Old Woman—We know all that, and are easy. But Lincoln will send an army throngh Kentucky, which will wipe out your Gen. Smith just as a (log would lick out a plate, then you and your army of bare•footed roasting - oar stealers will have to leave here in the daik again, and badly scared at that. Besides this— Officer—That's your opinion, but you aro deluded. Where were you born? Old Woman—Born! Why, I was born and raised in Tennessee. I am an OId Hickory Tennesseean—dead out against nullification, and its bastard cif spring—secession. But where are you from ? Officer—I am from North Carolina but a native of South Carolina. OId Wonsan—A South Carolinian— scion of nullification—double rebel, double devil. Old Jackson tnade your little turnip patch of a state walk the chalk ouce, and old Abe Lincolon will give you rebels hell before Spring. Officer (Quitting the old lady, and turning the eldest daughter, whom ho recognized as a mother)—Madatn, where is your husband? Young Woman—That's none of your business. Offi,;er—But it is my business.— Where is he? Young Woman—Where 1 hope I will never see him again. Where 1 hope you'll soon be. Officer—Where's that? Young Woman—Why, a prisoner in the hands of the army at the Gap. Officer—What is that for? Young Woman --For being what you are—an infernal rebel. Officer—Oh, if that's all, I will send him back to you as soon as we take the Gap. Young Woman—No yon needn't. Oust if ho ever sleeps in my bed again. I intend to get some Union man to father this child. Here, Bet, (calling a nurse,) take this little rebel and give him Union milk. Let us try and get the secesh out of him. Officer (turning to a Miss) did you find a beau among tho Uoiou officers? Miss—Yes, I did; a nice, sweet, gale (ant fellow; one who stepped like a prince. When you become his prison er, give him my love, and tell him for my sake to put a- trace chain areund your infernal neck . Officer—When do you expect to see him again?

FITCH AND The brutal retaliatory order of t'h Jeff. Davis Government in regard t Generals Fitch's command, remind us of a dialogue which took place Washington about two years ago b (ween Davis and Fitoh. Fitch w then United States Senator from Indi ana.. He was an unrelenting anti Douglas Democrat, not so much prob ably from principle as on account of long-standing personal feud bctwee him'and the eminent Senator from 111 Dols. Davis and Fitch were ranked e leaders in the war waged upon Doug las at the period of the Lecompton con troversy. The latter was even mor bitter in his assaults upontthe anti-Le- compton chieftain than t!r... Greer. Some two years or more ago, Davis and Fitch were members of the same standing Committee of the Senate. One day, at the close of a session of the Committee, a discussion happened t arise between them as to the cours the South would probably pursue i the event of Lincoln's electiou. Davi declared that the Cutton States would withdraw from tbe Union, establish an independent Government, and if need be take up arms in its defence. Fitch doubted the fact, but assured the arro gent Mississippian that, if the Sout attempted anything of the sort, th North would meet force with force The discussion waxed warmer an warmer. Said Davis, "Do you mea to say that if we of the Cotton State set up a Government of our own, you of the North will conte down and try to subjugate us to Federal authority?' "1 do!" responded Fitch, with erupha sis. "Whet!" replied Davis, risin from his seat, "do yon say that yon would invade your soil and endeavor by force to compel sovereign States to return to the Union—that yon of the North would try to conquer us?'' "I mean," replied Fitch, rising and speak- ing slowly and firmly, "that it the States on the lower Mississippi at- tempt to set up an independent Gov- ernment, we of the North-West who hold the source of that, river will in- vade your territory with forces suffi cieat to conquer and subdue you, Stat by State, county by county, till yo submit to Federal authority !" A little more than two years hav passed since this dialogue occurred Fitch commands a brigade of Units troops in Arkansas. He recently exe cited a rebel for murder. Thereupon Davis directs his Adjutant General to issue an order proclaiming Fitch and his command outlaws, who, if captur- ed, are not to be treated as prisoners of war. This order is aimed personally at Fitch, directing that, if he bo taken, he shall be confined as a felon and dealt with accordingly. We aro of the opinion that if the troops of Gra- ham N. Eitch meet in equal force those of Jefferson Davis, they will give the latter ample cause to remember the en- counter.

But let real calamity come, rouse' her affections, eakindle the fires of her heart, and mark her :hen; how her heart strengthens itself —how strong is her purpose! Place her in the heat of battle—give her a child, a bird—anythtng site loves or pities, to protect—and see her in a re- lated instance, lifting her white arms as a shield, as her own blood crimsons her upturned forehead. praying for life to protect the helpless. Transplant her into the dark places of the earth. call forth her energies to action, and her breath becomes a healing, her pres- ence a blessiug. She disputes, inch by inch, the stride of the stalking pesti- lence, when man, the strong and brave, pale and affrighted, shrinks away. Misfortune haunts her not; she wears away a life of silent endurance, and goes forward with less timidity than to her bridal. In prosperity she is a bud full of odors, waiting but for the winds of adversity to scatter them abroad—pure gold, valuable, but un- tried in the furnace. In short, woman ie a miracle, a mystery, the centre from which radiates the great charm of exis tense.

A Close SHAVE.—The following is one of those "scenes it a barber -shop" that you read about. Euter into said shop a man with a tremendous mous- tache. A wag who was present oyed the than with great attention while ho underwent the operation of shaving, evidently in admiration of the mous- tache. Finally he said: "Sir, 1'Il give you ten dollars for that ruoustache!" "Very well," was the cool reply; 'you can have it." "I will take it if you will allow me to cut it off whenever I choose, and pledge yourself not to take it your- self." The stranger acquiescing, the bar- gain was struck, and the money paid. "Now, barber, I'll take half of that moustache," said the wag. "Darn it" said the whiskered man, "you don't think I'm going to make a fool of myself by parading about with half a moustache?" "Of course you must," retorted the wag. "Come, now," said whiskers, anx- iously, "what are you going to take to let me off?" "Well, as I don't wish to be hard on you, give me fifteen dollars and call it square." The money was paid willingly, and off went the moustache amid the laughter of the spectators. BEET ROOT COFI'EE.—A very good coffee can be made of beet root in the following manner:—Cut dry beet root into veru small pieces, then gradually heat it in a close pan over the fire for about fifteen minutes. Now intro- duce a little fresh butter, and bring it up to the roasting heat. The butter prevents the evaporation of the sweet- ness and aroma of the beet root, and when fully roasted it is taken out, ground and used like toffee. A Bever• age made of it cheap, and as good for the human system as coffee or chic- ory. HUMOR AND SENTIMENT. They err widely who propose to. tarn men to thoughts of a better world by making them think meanly of this. —He who promises rashly, will break his promise with the same ease as he made it. —Flours are beautifal thovghtsthat grow out of the ground and seem to talk to us. —An ingenious mechanic advertises that he manufactures drums "that can- not be beaten." —It is an important part of a geed education to be able to bear politely the want of it in others.

Acting on this principle he nev- er wastes a single word in conversation. For instance he meets you in the street, and instead of saying "Good -morn- ing," or "How do you do?" it is simply "Waning!" "Do?" If he wishes to enquire of hie wife what she wants for dinner, he merely says, "Dinner?"

THOUGHTS FOR YOUNG` MEN. --Costly apparatus and splendid cabinets have no magical power to make stholars.— In all circumstances, as a man is, un- der God, the maker of his own for- tune, so is he the maker of his own tnind. The creator bas so conetitatec? the human intellect that it can grow only by its own action, and by its own action it must certainly and necessarily grow. Every man must, therefore, in an important sense, educate himself.— His books and teachers are but helps— the work is his. A man is not educa- ted until he has the ability to summon, in case of emergency. all his mental% power into vigorous exercise, to etlecf his proposed object. It is not the man who bas seen the most, or who bas read the most, who can do this; such a one is in danger of 'being borne down, like a beast of burden, by an' overloaded mass of other mete& thoughts. Nor is it a man that cad boast merely of native vigor and ca- pacity. 'The greatest of all the war- riors that went to the siege of Troy had she pre-emiuince, not because na- ture had given him strength, and he carried the larges bow, but self•tlisci- pliue had taught hint bow to bend it. —11 ebster. ADIUSINu INCIDENT IN HOTEL Lies . —Ac amusing denouncement occurred a day or two since at one of our prin- cipal hotels. We give the anecdote, Euppressing the name: hor some weeks past a couple, sup- posed to bo just married, have been much remarked at the hotel from their youthful appearance. The husband id particular has attracted great attention from his youth, small size, and deli- cate frame. Observations have been beard on a'l hands deploring the mar- riage of persons, so very young—t. mere boy and girl apparently—and some ctuiosit, has been expressed as to whom they wore. On Saturday evening the husband— who has been a►nokiug his cigars, drinking his cocktails, and swiugiug his Bane, with a manly air that seemed much' beyond his years—was discover, ed to be a woman. It appears that she is a Married lady, and the motb,•r of an infant sorne six months -old. Her health being poor, and her hus- band thinking that a change of hi r would be beneficial to her, she 'blasted on a traveling tour, taking with her a young lady friend. The two !adieu soon found it inconveuiont to be with- out an escort, and the married lady con- cluded to dress as a gentleman, while her friend agreed to act the part of his bride. They have been obliged to as- sume their former relations, and were then arrested, but took their misha;,, very coolly.—N. Y.

The active eam- paign against the Indiana on the fron- tier hae abort closed for the winter, and we need not anticipate anything of very grave interest from the frontier until the spring opens, when the In- dians will probably be driven to the great plains beneath the Aocky Moun- tains. THS QUOTA OE MINNESOTA FILLED.— We are glad to announce that the quo- ta of this State under the calls for vol- unteers and drafted men, is entirely filled by voluntary enlistments. No draft therefore trill be had in this Slate. This announcement will be gratify- ing to the public—not only by banish- ing the feverish apprehensions of be- ing drafted from the mind of many a poor "guder-man" who dreaded to be forced to leave his family unprovided for—but as an earnest of the steady zeal of Minnesota in the cause of the Union. There are but few States that can make the proud boast of Minnesota, that they have re- sponded to all the calls of the Presi- dent for troops, and even given an ex- cess over the number required, without resort to drafting. THE NATIONAL REVENUE. The value of the United States stocks must greatly increase as the capitalists become aware of the operation of the internal tax bill. The financial editor of the New York Tribune says that ''Cho reports thus far of the collectors are astounding, and show an unexpect• ed eapecity of the people for taxation." WIIAT THEY SAY ABOUT US. W. H. Wood, recently stopping here for a day or two, and who is edi• for of the St. Claud Union, thus speaks of the Grain Trade of Hastings: "But if anything can impress upon one's mind, the superiority of one State over another, the vast quantities of grain coming in here and at other points on the river mast do it. Wagons load- ed with wheat come streaming in from across the Vermillion, continually from morning tial night. I noticed one load with an old woman perched on top, vociferating to the oxen with a voice that would have done credit to a Briga- dier. 'l'bese immense quantities of grain come principally from Dakota, Rico, Steel, Waseca, and parts of Free born and Goodhue counties. The lands watered by the Vermillion, which Goodhue County runs about a mile from Hastings, are Rice County. remarkably productive. Winona County. As showing the amount of money Olmstead County. being paid in Hastings this season for wheat, I give the following statement, handed me by the four principle firme, and taken from the books for the nine days transaction, from September 29th, up to October 6th. Messrs. Follett and Renick paid $38.683,00. Col. Thorne paid $28,000,00. North and Celli paid $10,661,62. Samuel Rogers paid 86,550,00. Total amount of cash paid in the nine days, 83,894.62.

My infor- mation is direct from these in confi- dence with the promoters. I can only see one way of preventing a good dell of mischief. Every port for which they are designed ought to be in the power of the American government before these ugly monsters can cross the Atlantic. Then you might wel come them as effective aids in future operations. To disarm suspicion it is popularly given out that this iron fleet is being built for the Chinese govern- ment; but I need hardly tell you that Mr. Mason and his friends form ono of the chief contracting patties. Simon Cameron, who has just ars rived at New York from Europe, con- firms the statement that the reb:le are building throe formidable• iron clad tams in the British ship -yards. and re- peats the warning that these vessels are intendedijto make a dash at our chief Atlantic cities. The Philadelphia Inquirer says: The returning Russian Minister expresses surprise that New York does not more fully appreciate the danger of an attack, and suggests that the fortifications about the city should be immediately attended to. If this is applicable to Nesv York, with her harbor protected by a dozen forts and bristling with guns, what will we say about Philadelphia, with her one f.,rt and her "Mudbank," upon which she relies for protection against the powerful engines of modern maritime war? SALES OF SCHOOL LANDS. The St. Paul Pioneer, of the 18th says: The State Auditor, Mr. McElratb, has just returned from a tour made to Southern Minnesota, for the purpose of selling School Lands, on Wednes- day at 'ten o'clock, will sell the school lands of this county. The school sec- tions of this county embrace some of the best land in the county for fann- ing or gardening, and will make splen- did investments for those who have the funds to pay the amount required to be paid at the sale, which is only fifteen per cent. The balance can remain, if desired, for twenty years, at only seven per cent. interest. Mr. MeElrath informs us that the total amount of sales, so far, is 8192,- 000, and the cash receipts have been 845,090. The amount of sales in the follow- ing counties respectively were: 821,790 *31,768 834,640 $14,463 335 acres near Faribault sold for $7,813. 420 acres of timber land in Wheel- ing, Rice county sold for *7,050. 430 acres of prairie land near Northfield, Rice county, sold for $7,- 624.90—the highest price per acre, being 8150 30 acres joiniog the town of Owa- tonna, Steele connty, sold for 85,657— highest price per acre, 8115. 180 acres near Rochester, Olmstead county, sold for 85,368—highest price per acre 8105. Mr. McElrath estimates the total re- ceipts to the School Fund from the lands authorized to be sold at the present time, at about. 8225,000. are bankers, and pay out on the checks Instead of 8150,000,000 a year, the present returns indicate a revenue of of tit^ wheat buyers. $350,000,000, equal to that of Great tv- Ex Governor Morehead, of Britain.

If the debt of the United States swells to a thousand millions of dol- lars before the tear is closed, and the average interest on it is five por cent., the estimated revenue from internal taxes alone would pay the interest on the debt, and leave $300,000 to be ap- plied to the ordinary expenses of the debt. If we concede that the ordinary ex- penses of the government after the war will amount to $100,000,000, there will still remain 8200,000,000 yearly to be applied to the payment of the principal of the debt. This sum would extinguish the whole in five years. Even if the revenue only amounts to 8250,000, this sum would be sufficient to pay the expenses of the government the interest on the debt, and in ten years the debt itself. If the revenue is only 8200,000,000, the same result will bo produced in twenty years. Ale -47 -By the authority of a commis- rien for the city of Charleston, and with the concurrence of Gen. Beauro• gard, notice is given in the Charleston papers that it is deemed advisable that non-combatant inhabitants who are able to provide for their own removal and support, should leave the city, with their slaves and movable property. as soon as convenient, and thereby avoid the embarrassments to which they will be subjected if they delay their depart. ore uutil a necessity arises for a Bud- den removal of the entire populatfon. NEwsPAPERTAX.—The commissioner of internal revenue has decided in re- gard to the tax on advertisements, that the last proviso of section eight of the excise law, exempts a newspaper whose circulation does not exceed 2,000 cop. ies, from all tax upon advertisements, and the last proviso, but one of the same section, exempt the receipts for advertisements, to the amount of 81,- 000, Consequently they will be as- sessed only on the excess over 81,000, and then only when their whole circu- lation exceeds 2,000. Tug MONITOR. --The Monitor, which has been refitted at the Washington navy -yard, will be ready for sea in a few days. Great improvements have been made in her as regards ventilation and comfort, The marks of honor on her turret and side armor have engraved on theta the name of :he vessel or fort from which they were received. The guns have also engraved on them the name of "Worden" on ono, and "Er- riceson" on the other; underneath on either gun are the word✓! " Monit9r and Merrimac." Heap type—has been edifying the Se- cessionists of Liverpool with certain pretended revelations of conversations with President Lincoln and others, touching the rebellion. That More head should "turn State's evidence," and confess himself capable of betray- ing private confidence, is not surprising; but that journals, pretending to be loyal, should use his mendacions af- affirmatione as weapons with which to assail the Administration, will strike every honest mind with disgust and wonder. We shall next hear their quoting Jeff. Davis to prove that Mr. Lincoln is a "usoper," and the Rich- mond Examiner to prove that Mr. Seward is a "knave." VT- Cho Boston Journal says it is doubtful whether the Alabama can be approached on the ocean by one of our Government vessels under steam. It appears from the statement of the Cap- tain of the Baron de Casting that Cap taiu Semmes keeps a man at the mast- head on the lookout for steamers, and that he got up steam to keep away from a suspicious looking smoke.— The chances of catching the Alabama are very small, but craft of al similar character under sail, with steam as an auxiliary, would obviously be the most suitable to send after her. But where are they to cruise? She may next be heard of a thousand miles away— perhaps in the West Indies. ' Afar Judge Lane, of Alabama, has addressed a letter to Secretary Stanton, urging the adoption of another policy towards the rebel oitizens of his State than that heretofore pursued. He de- clares the former kindness displayed towards them, to have been unjust to to the Union men, and trusts it is not to be repeated. He urges on Mr. Stan- ton to advocate the banishment of all disloyal citizens from the lines. He commends Gen. Baell'e late order ban- ishing such from Kentucky, and says he belies -es that Gen. Buell would have adopted the same policy in North Al- abama, had he remained in command. The document is dignified and earn- est, and will be found highly interest- ing. - Major-General Mitchell was the inventor of the astronomical cloak, now in use in all the observatories of the world—au invaluable mechanism for securing accuracy in the record of observations. tar At the recent sales of school lands in Winona county, the aggre- gate price of the lands sold waa $45,- 000. • Of this sum, there was 88,000 paid in cash. We doubt if there ie another county in the State that will beat this.— Winona Republican, THE DRAIN ON THE OLD STATE!.— The number of men who have enlisted in some of the States of New England ie so large in proportion to the able• bodied men that in many of the towns there seems to be no one loft but gray. haired men. and women and children. Vermont has furnished 18,000 men to the war. This, with the drain of the young men to seek their fortunes in the West, renders her towns and villages almost destitute of any young male population between 18 and 30. The old States have thus to submit to a double drain—The Western drain and the war drain. Illinois has furnished 120,000 soldiers to the war. That is an enormous number, but it is not felt so severely in Illinois as the 18,000 in Vermont. Of the 18,000 who have left Vermont, very few will ever return to stay there. They will make homes for themselves in the South or West. AarCapt. Semmes, of the rebel steamer "290," or the Alabama, has a daughter receiving her education in Philadelphia. She is the youngest daughter of the Captain. About three weeks ago she received a letter and re- mittance of money, from the father. Two older daughter,, Kate and Elec- tria, were at the same place one year ago, one of them graduated there. The wife of the Captain and the daughter just mentioned, are now residing in the city of Washington. Previous to the rebellion the family resided in the State of Alabama. AT THEIR DIBTT Taic's AGAIx,— We have been informed that the same old game of extorting commissions from our merchants who have been un- fortunate in having goods discharged at Hastings, is again being practiced by the commission merchants there, who have received goods in store. There may be a time when the com• pliment can be paid them in their own coin,—St. Paul Pioneer. We protest against the above as un- warrantable, and calculated to throw reproach upon the best class of business men in the State. Of course, St. Paul merchants, if their goods are handled here, do not expect each service for nothing, and because they were unfor- tunate in getting their goods through is their misfortune, and no excuse for their epitting their spleen on Hastings. Snppose St. Pant had goods in transit when the freeze came that would in- jure by frost, is it not a matter of com• mendation to our business men that they took care of them, instead of a matter for censure that the Pioneer is so lavish with? Lg" Kossuth, who is now in Turin, is suffering the deepest anxiety on ac- count of his wife, who is so seriously ill that she is hardly expected to re- cover. Within thirteen years, says a correspondent, Kossuth has lost sev- eral near relatives, and among them an only daughter; and now, while anticipa ting this crowning calamity, he is ex- tremely straightened in pecuniary mat- ters. His two sons have some employ- ment in a public office in Tulin, but the remuneration they reteive is too scanty to enable them to render much assistance to the distinguished patriot and their dying mother. OPINIONS OF THE LONDON TIMEs,— A reference to the files of the London T,•mes discloses the following as among its expression of opinion on the sub- ject of slavery. I► will be noticed as in remarkable contrast to its present attitude and expressions: The most melancholy part of the matter is that during the seventy years for which the American Confederacy has existed, the whole tone of the sen- timent has, in the Southern States at NEW ADVERTISEMENTS, least, undergone a remarkable change. Slavery used to be treated as a th or- i NST RUCTIONS ouglily exceptional institution, as the 1 legacy of evil times, as a disgrace to A Constitution founded on the natural VOCAL AND PIANO MUSIC, freedom and independence of mankind.

C,, says: What knowledge the blacks in the department have of the President's proclamation of emanoipation, it is hard to say. My impression ie, that they have little. The few to whom I have spoken to of it had heard some- thing about it, but were entirely uncer- tain what to believe. Asking the wo- man who acts as laundress to several officers, if she had heard of the Presi- dent's proclamtion, I was told that she bad heard something about it. What have you heard? "I've heard he's made a fool of his self; that all de folks is a laugbin' at him." Who have you heard say this? "My ole missus." And do you believe tt4 "Dunno, sir; dunno what to b'lieve." Do you want I should tell you just what it is? ''0 yes, I does," The proclamation is, that the slaves of masters who are in rebellion on the first day of January next, shall be free. Staring at me for a moment, as if to measure somewhat the meaning of my words, she exclaim ed, "Is dat all?" That's it. ''Pray de Lord den dey may all continue in rebellion td'1 after de fust day of Jan- uary. Tank yer, tank yer; now I know just what it is. Brass de Lord for dal." Do any say "amen" to this colored woman's prayer, feeling that the rebellion never can be ended till slavery is destroyed? Whether they do or not, from present appearances her petition seems likely to be grant- ed. ,i'The Acting Cominissiner of In• ternal Revenue, in a letter to a com- mittee in New York, says that gov- ernment has increased the facilities for supplyiug revenue stamps, and all or- ders now in of kinds already engraved will be filled before the 15th inst. Within a very short time plates for all kinds of stamps will be finished, and all orders supplied promptly. When this can be done an order will emanate from the Department giving notice that, after a certain day, stamps must be used, or a penalty be enforced in all cases where stamps can be promptl.j furnished by governmet ou applicae tion. tqrA strange rumor has currency in Louisville, to -wit: --Jeff. Davis. and his cabinet seriously contemplate the emancipation of all the slaves before the first of January, to anticipate Pres- ident Lincoln's proclamation and se- cure recognition from foreign powers, which is promised when that extraor, dinary action is bad. It is further said that the slaves thus freed will immedi• ately be pressed into military service as the consideration for their freedom. The report has considerable circulation in Kentucky.

IN Tows.—Major Finch, Surgeon of the 7th Regiment Minnesota Volun- teers, has been in the city several days. He seems to enjoy the service, and camp life agrees with him. AnrTbe Third Regiment Las been granted a furlough of fifteen days, after which it is ordered to report at Wi' none, from which place they aro to be marched South.

He is very, popular with those who havo visited him, and has the reputation of keeping a "tip-top" house. INDIANA FANNING MILL—Wecall attention to the advertisement of Messrs Montgomery & Thompson, who have commenced the manufacture of Fan• j ring Mills in this city. Their ma - chino is an excellent one, separating foul matter from wheat and cleanin; it thoroughly. The public are invited I to call at their shop, Second street, op - posit° Herzog & Corson's Sash, Door, and Blind manufactory, and examine these mills, CHAPLAIN OF TEIE SEVENTH REGI- MENT —We learn that the Rev. Mr. Olds, rector of St. Luke's Episcopal chnrch in this city, has been appointed chaplain of the Seventh Rigment Minnesota Volunteers. Mr. Olde is a worthy instrument in the hands of God in this city, for the salvation of sinners, and the presumption is that his congregation will be loth to part with him, nothwithstanding the great work he may bo able to do in the service of his country. STEAMBOAT ACCIDENTS —The Den- mark on her last trip down, a short distance this side of St. Louis run against a snag, sinking her. Most of the merchandise was aboard barges, and consequently was not lost. We learn the Denmark was not insured.— The Fanny Harris, which was run ashore just below this city, to avoid the ice, ran foul of a log, and the fall of the water left the boat. to press on the log so as to force a hole through her bottom. We presume she can be repaired. LYCEUM.—\Vs learn that the young men of this city, are about organizing a lyceum. This is right, and we hope it may become a permanent fixture, library arid other essentialts for the in- tellectual advancement of our youths. to" Lieuts. I. P. Tichenor and Sam_ uel Ingman, who were taken prisoners at Murfreesboro, were in the city last week. We had the pleasure of taking by the hand Lieut. Ingman, and found him the same old chap, a trifle fatter, and jolly as ever. TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. The teachers of the county are re- sponding to tate call to meet, and or- ganize a Dakota County Teachers' In- stitute, We have word from quite a number who mean to he present and participate in the exercises. Every man and woman who has a latent spark of professional feeling will sym- ?athize in such a move. It is conclu- sive that a person has at last one of the elements of a good teacher in him when ho puts himself to the trouble of attending the usual teachers' gather- ings. We commend such to the fa- vorable notice of school committees. W. B. Green, late teacher in one of the Normal Schools of Massachu- setts, and Rev. L. B. Taft, of River Falls, are expected to he present as taachers. Mr. W. T. Hatch, County Superintendent of schools in Pierce county, Wis., has also been invited, and we are quite sure will be in atten- dance, though we havo as yet received no word from luim. We renew our invitation to every teacher in the county to come out to the Institute. We shall be glad to take every teacher by the hand, and welcom him gratis to all the benefits of the occasion. The Institute opens on the 25th inst., and closes on the 26th. Teachers who desire it will be examined at :the close of the exercises on the 26th. The citizens generally, aro also most earnestly regnested to be present du- ring the whole session. T. F. TIiIChSTUN. Hastings, Nov . 18, 1862. MOIt'ro,1ou SALE.

'There is no material change the military situation in Virginia.— On Saturday our army was still be- fore Fredricksburg, and further time had been given by Gen. Burnside for the removal ot the women and children. Stonewall Jackson is still the great bugaboo of the correspondents, and they have him now advancing on Wash- ington, and "expected in Salem," which is some forty miles northwest. The rebels are strongly fortifying Port Hudson, 150 miles above New Orleans, and it is expected they will make it as strong as Vicksburg. President Lincoln Las been urging gradual emancipation on a delegation of unconditional Union Kentuckians. He told them that Le would rather die than take back a word of the pros• lamation of freedom. OFFICIAL CANVASS OF THE CONclRES- :RONAL VOTE.—The returns of the votes fur members of Congress were officially canvassed Monday by the proper of & cers at the Capitol. By the returns it appears that Windom'° majority over Chatfield is 2,094, and Donnelley's majority over Cullen is 2,005. The re- turns•from several important counties were not received, owiog to the culpa- ble negligence of county officers, and it is presumed no votes ways had in a large number of counties of both die tricts, from which there were no re- turns; on acoonnt of their disturbed condition„ consequent apes the Indi- an outbreak. The aggregate tote of the counties received was 24/64d spinet about 33,000 cast at the Congressional election in 1860. tir A Washington special of Thins - day states that "One hundred c oete absent from their commands without leave, being the first installment of the one thousand who are marked for dis- missal, were yesterday struck from the rolle of the army, and their names will be published in a general order, stat• ing the offences of each, which order will be sent to the Governors of all the loyal States fur publication in the offi- cial State jouraale, and with directions that none of the men so dismissed shall never hereafter be commissions ed." JACKSON AND FREMONv.—Capt. Goulding, who was Gen. Pope's Quar- termaster, and taken prisoner, has been exchanged. Several interesting state- ments have been made by him concern - the treatment of the prisoners by the rebels. Hee reports having had sever- al interviews with Stonewall Jackson, who told him that during the entire war he bad never been so hard pressed as he was by Fremont in the Shenan- doah Valley; that he never was in such a dangerous position as at Cross Keys end Port Republic; and be freely ad mitred that he would have been cap- tured, army, bag and baggage, had Fre- mont been reinforced or supported by McDowell. A FEARFUL TAUNT.—'rhe London Times predicted that the opposition to the President's proclamation would not come from the Border States, but from Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. What these Northerners are fighting for, it says, is a South which shall bring them cotton, sugar and rice; and to give them a South without slavery, would be as if you should give to a huntsman seeking hie favor- ite pointer, the detached Bead of the dog, Wo can fancy how the arrogant sheet, when it hears the tidings of the elections in the North, will claim them as justifications of its position — Are Missouri and Delaware going for the proclamation; but Pennsylvania and New York are declaring that they will have slavery. t7 Western Virginia is an appli- cant for admission into the Union as an independent State detach ed from Eastern Virgiuia, and bearing the naiDe of Kanawha. When the vote was taken in that section upon the adop- tion of the constitution, the' people al- e° voted informally upon the subject of emancipation, and the result was a large majority in favor of it. There application has not been decide 1 upon, and will come up again this winter.— Let the State be admitted on condition that shivery shall be abolished, and the people will gladly agree to the stipula- tion in order to get free from the' yoke of the planters of the seabord, whom they halo always hated. 1Hi QOVRRNMEVT LOAN.—One of the most a„ ttiefactory indications of motioned conffdene 'r "tg eapitaliate in fitianoial afl'a ..d the _ a.;it the meet its obligatiot�L governnibe recent bide for the 7.- 30 shown 3010, ander the recent call of the S,.,etary of the Treasury. All the bids received and opened have been pdblished. The whole amount offered was 829,994,340; all bide 3 05, amount, ing to 89,605,050, were accepted, and 8014,000 were divided prorate among the bide at 3.05. The amount awarded was *13,413,- 450. The highest premium offered was 4.. 12+. The amount taken at 4 per cent pre- mium and upwards was 8241,250. Jfir-A letter from Richmond, in a Charleton paper, says: "Richmond is now worse than Naples, worse than Baltimore was when Winter Davis was the Wilkes of the Ping Ugly swell mob of that lawless city. No one thinks of going into the Cimmer- ian streets after nightfall without arms. A large and well organized gang of cutthroats have "taken the town." They lie in wait at almost every cor- ner; well provided with slang shots, billies, brase knuckles and all other develish implements of mischief which the city highwayman uses to disable his victims, and they attack everybody that walks alone, oftentimes gentlemen when attended by ladies. That they are not found out is a matter of grave reproach to our city police. But this corps is so small that they can do lit- tle for the protection of a city spread over an immense surface of ground, and withuut a light from one end of it to the other." fa -Before the war broke out sla- very Lad Veen decreasing steadily in Maryland. In 1810 the number bf slaves there was 111,000; in 1820 it was 107,000; in 1830 it was 102,000; in 1840 it was Si9,000; and im 1860 it was 87,000. Since the war broke out about half of these slaves are said to have escaped. The emancipation measure in Washington took away many of thorn. Supposing the num- ber thus be reduced to fifty thousand, surer}' there can be no berm in antici- pating by legislative action what has for years been in process of accomplish- ment. Slavery has long been without any vitality in Maryland, and the State, though tied to the Southern destiny by the •dbaracter of her !awe, has long felt that .her lot really lay with the free States. Maryland once free, there will he ao derrger a barrier separating us from onr national capital. This cone sideration is important enough to jus- tify the Government and the people of tbe nation in son effort to accomplish ibis ;teat a'nge. WSS,IINOTON Le A DICTATOR.—The dictatorial powers conferred upon Gen. Washington, during the war of the Revolution, are corstained and enumer- ate] in a resolve of Congress, dated 27th of December, 1776, and were limited to the term .of six months. With a single exception they relate exclusively to the organization, con- trol and support of the army, and con- fer no civil authority. The exception alluded to is of a character to deserve attention at this moment. It it the last enumerated power, and reads thus: "To arrest and confine persons who refuse to take the Continental currency, or are otherwise disaffected to the American cause, and return to the States of which they are citizens their names and the nature of their offenses, together with the witnesses to prove thein." This is more than equivalent to President Lincoln's suspension ot the writ of habeas corpus, under the pro- visions of the Federal Constitution. RESTRICTIONS UPON THE INDIANS.— Tbe Omaha (N. T.) Republican, of the ]2th, Bays that a card haa been signed by the agents of the Otoes, by which it will be seen that Indians, of the different tribes named, are not hereafter to be permitted to roam about the country, to the annoyance of the people. Passes are to be given to all Indians upon leaving the different Reservations, hereafter, so that they may be identified by the public, and held responsible for any unlawful acts or annoyances which they may com- mit. It is requested that all Indians found off the Reservations be required to exhibit their passes, and we hope this suggestion may be generally com- l. with. The new system, if fol- lowed out, as we have no doubt it will be, must rte productive of the beat re- sults. SOLDIERS' VQTIS.--The eollier's vote in Wisconsin stood 6,219 Repub- lican to 2,000 Democrat. Here is subject matter for every loyal man to ponder over. or David Blakeley has been ap- pointed in the place of Jas. H. Baker promoted to the command of the Tenth Regiment Minueeota Volunteers. If tbe people of Missouri he doraed a system of gradual caro tion, we are glad of it. lilge0 of i:nbstantially a area 8t$., sad sbt ' .1►r-her own beat interests by t ¢ meaaurea tt,-at~ ,,ni v qe fn her midst. In ihie abo follows the exam- ple of New York and all the other or. iginal State*. The place to discuss emancipation is in i1 a legislatures of the Slave States, and Missouri, very properly, takes the lead. The place not to discuss emancipation is in Con.. grese, and we hope the agitation of the subject will be remitted to the proper tribunal. ea- McCLELLAN'S FAREWELL. eIrr %summit, Nov. 11, 1862.—Gen. 11. :` McClellan and staff left Warrenton at . 11 o'clock to day. Oa reaching the sl< n a salute was fired and troops Sr.0-111 The rebels have boasted that they have taken more prisoners than we have, but as usual with their boasts, they have proved unfounded on exami- nation. Col. Ludlow, of General Dix's staff, has just completed arrangement's with the rebel commissioners for an ex- change of all prisoners of war, and it turns out that the balance is moat de- cidedly in our favor. We hold 770 officer' and about 6,000 privates more than Whey. This is much better than we had supposed. AV -Missouri has elected six Eman• cipationists to the next Congress, be ing two-thirds of her whole delegation, and the tide in that State rune atrong for liberty. It is a region where the good fight has been waged openly for years past—where men have not been afraid to proclaim the truth respecting slavery and its pernicious influences. Those who have the moveinent in charge there may be depended on to achieve success if it is possible, and we believe it ie. laT A man named Fridley, living in Hennepin county made a desperate attempt to murder his wife by striking her on the head with a hatchet. She made her escape from him after which be attempted hie own life by cutting his throat with a razor. t We notice that Mrs. Swieshelm has run up the name of Alexander Ramsey as her candidate for United States Senator. Jane generally es pouses the unpopular aide, which leads us to believe that Aldrich's chances of election are now the best. ORDER RESPEOTINO THE OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.—The following gen- eral order has been issued respecting the observance_of the Sabbath day in the army and navy: EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 16. The,President, Commander in -Chief n•joiof the army any navy, desires end en-- joins ns the orderly observance of the Sabbath by the officers and men in the military and naval service. The im- portance for man and beast of the pre- scribed weekly rest; the sacred rights of Christian soldiers and sailors; a be- coming deference to the best sentiment of a Christian people, and a due regard for the divine will, demand that Sans day labor in the army and navy be re- duced to the measure of strict necessity. The discipline and character of the na, tional forces should not Buffer, nor the cause they defend be imperiled, by the profanation of the day or the name of the Moet High. At this time of pub- lic distress, adopting the words of Washington in 1776,"men may find enough to do iu the service of God and their country, without abandoning themselves to vine and immortality." The first general order issued by the Father of bis Country, after the dec- laration of independence, indicates the spirit in which onr institutions were founded, and should ever be deronded : "The General hopes and trusts tiara ev• ery officer and man will endeavor to live and act as Lecomee a Christian soldier, defending the dearest rights and privileges of his country." ABRAHAM LINCOLN. GENERAL HEADQR'S, STATE OF MINNESOTA. ADJ'T. GENERAL'S OFFICE, Sr. Nur., Nov.19th, 1882. [GENERAL ORDERS N0. 71] As all expenses incurred in the pres- ent Indian War in this S ate, for the transportation of all troops regularly mustered into the servioe of the United States will be borne and paid by the General Government: All Quartermasters, and all persons who have acted in that capacity dur- ing active service against the Indians, are directed to make out their reports forthwith, or amended reports in case they have already made them, and file the same, together with their vouchers and requisitions, with all convenient dispatch in this office. Such reports will be made out ac- cording to the form laid down in the "Army Regulations" and will specify whether the troops to which transpor- tation, subsistence, or other articles have been granted, were at the time regularly mustered into the service of the United States, were regularly 'worn to sncb service without being so mas- tered, or belonged to the State Militia without any intention of entering the regular volunteer service in the Army of the United States, and will also spec- ify whether such transportation, subsis- tence, &c,'werts furnished before or af- ter the time when Major General Pope assumed command over the troops than in the service in this &ate, the same being the 16th day of September, 1862. By order of the Commander -in -Chief. OSCAR MALMROS, Adjutant General drawn opsin a line. Gen: McClellan, in response to culls for a speech said: "I wish you to.stand by Burnside as you have stood by me, and all will be well. Good bye." The following farewell order was read to the troops composing the army of the Potomac yesterday morning at dress parade: • He MA'S Al= OF TIM PorosA0, 'Cala Rzoroarowx, Va., Nov. 5, '62. } Officers and soldiers of the army of the Po- tomac: An order of the President devolves upon Major General Burnside the com- mand of this army. In parting from you I cannot ex- press the love and gratitude I bear you u an army. You have grown up un- der my care; in you I have never found doubt or coldness. The battles you have fought under my command will proudly live in our nation's history. The glory you have achieved, our mutual peril; and fatigues, the graves of our comrades fallen in battle and by disease, the hroken forme of those whom wounds and sickness have dis- abled, the strongest associations which can exist among men, unite us still by an indissoluble tie. We shall ever be comrades in supporting the constitu- tion of oar country and the nationality of its people. (Signet) GEO. B. McCLELLAN. Maj. Gen. U. S. A.

STEBBINS, Editor. CONGRESS, —Congress met do Mon- day last with a quorum in attendance A Committee from both House and Senate waited on the President, in- forming him that they were ready to resolve any communication from him, and awaited his conveuience. The Presidont's Message has been delivered, and we hope to be able to lay it before our readers in.our next issue. THE MAN FOR THE WORK. --We DO- tice by the St. Paul papers that a man frow up the country, proposes to take the job of hanging the Indians convict. ed of murder by the military commis- sion, at fifteen cents a head. Wc hope the authorities will not close with hitn, as we believe that considerable amount of money might be saved by letting that work out to the lowest bidder. We have reason to believe that Judge Crosby of this city would perform that service for seven and a half cents a head, and execute it with the ability with which he does other jobs. Ile will doubtless make a good haugman, and his claims ought not to be over- looked. STRYCHNINE vs. STRYCHNINE.—Any one reading the two soecalled Republi- can papers published at St. Paul, cannot fail to be impressed frith tho idea that one is poison fur Ramsey andthe other poison for Aldrich. It may be all very vice to label themselves Republi- can, when they aro nothing else than death portions for certain individuals, but the people are able to see through this thin gauze, and know what they billy are. We hope to see the Press and the Union rise above the level of the assassin • iegY'Rev. M. L. Olds of this city 'writes to the St. Paul Pioneer a letter explaining the reason why his father, Edson B. Olds, refused his liberty and chose the alternative of a political pis- til rather than to take the oath of alle- giance. They are sumed up briefly as follows :-That the taking of the oath would imply that he was guilty of the charges prefered against him, that hav• ing been incarcerated innocently, his release to leave him untainted by sus- picion, must be unconditional; that rather than that the taint ot treason should attach to him and his pesterity, he preferred to remain a prisoner until the costs should wipe out every vest- ige sf snspicion. THE B.tNILS EXPEDITION.—nere are many people who believe that the Banks Expedition is intended fur the James River rather than the Rio flrande, and their theory is a very plausible one It is argued that it would be a great waste of strength to send Off jest now to the wilds of Texas a force of 40,000 to 50,00r) men at a time when a third advance is being mad • upon the rebel capital and their co- operation might be necessary to ensure success. Geu. Bauka has now 10,000 troops, most of whom have been in camp in New England several months end are pre:ty well drilled, on Staten Island. Corcoran's brigade of 5,000 men, &longing to the expedition is at the mouth of James River. The Mon- itor, the Naugatuck, the Galena, and several of the new iron clads, which are believed to be superis)r to the first named, are ready for business. It must be confessed that indications fa- vor very much the James River route to Texas. FOREIGN VIEW OF OUR ELECTIONS.— Only the result. of the October elections had reached England at the date of our last advices. Tho comments upon them are not in general very pointed or intelligent. Mr. Spenee, the lead- ing secession writer for the Times, thinks that the 8044883 (.,f the Demo- cratic party would not end the war, though it would put matters in a train f g the end to be brought about by other events. flaying secured a Dem. ocratic Congress, he says, "all that would then be needed is European re- cegn ition of the South, to be followed by a proffer to mediate between the two powers." The Liverpool Mercury says that tbe election of an opposition Congress "is not enormously described as a Southern victory," adding: "With out a majority in Cengrggs, Presideut Lincoln would find it necessary to mod• ify his plans, and the Democrats wonld prebaLly compell him to wage the war in such strict accordance with C011-, stittitional principles. that to continue ,,•i,01.1 be cheer folly." tide in ivhieh'it says that tgi.c4nservn- tive party of the country lavebeettya- vorable to theProsecutien of the i war tto lot as it wasconducted withlittle‘injus vy to the rebel, but abbve air.: 'that -the' institution of Slavery should be preservs ed.

All parties in the loyal States are for the vigorous prose- cution of• the war to an honorable peace, and the exception to this is so rare that those objectirg are worthy of but little consideration. That the people have been loth to give up its Generals at the behests of radicalism is true, and while the people have misgivings as to the policy of McClellan, the conservative elment hope that Burnside shall Hetet with such success as shall unite all loyal men on him, and bring us speedily to a triumphant victory over the rebels. CAPT. DAVIDSON -We copy the fol. lowing complimentary notice of one of the most enterprising men in the north-west, from the Winona Republi- can. Our business community are. under many obligations to Captain Davidson, manager of the La Crosse line, for his untiring energy, under the disadvan- tages of low water and prospect of an early close of navigation, in contiuuing to run his boats as long as he can car- ry a hundred pounds of freight, and having his beats go up river as far as possible. A rival line has withdrawn its boats, and oriole rio special efforts to run above this p iiut, when it might have made a nini r more trips as far as Prescott. Until :lie river is actual) closed, Capt. Davidson will continue to send Lis boats op to title point, and to se that freight properly forwards ed, giviug 15 personal attention to ni at- ters. LETTERS OF REBEL OFFICEItS--THE REBELS DISGIJSTED INTIK KENTUCKY.— A letter from Nashville gives the.sub- stance of several intercepted letters of rebel officers and others. A letter from Gcn. Preston to his vile, dated in Camp, November.12th, between Cl ttanooga and Murfreesboro says that be was going to Murfreesboro with Bragg, Hardee and Buckner that evening. The letter is gloorny, though expressing a g!earn of hope that the rebel horizon is becoming clearer, and that peace ie approaching. Preston adds: I am waiting with anxiety with my brigade under Buckner for the devels opment of the winter campaign. My heart stink in leaving Kentneky. If tire proscription becomes intolerable, seek shelter in Canada. You claw cress the lines. Look for peace in eerie happier land until his duel war is ended. While :he enemy eve ir gives, you imperfect protection, it is your duty to Abstain from every act or speech that wi uld insnit thein. My own prayer to God is, that Kentucky may not be torn further in this con- flict. A letter from James B. Clay bitter- ly denounces Bragg fordisappointing the expectations which he inspired. Clay has no command. Preston says Clay is discontented, disappointed and angry as to Kentucky, and adds: She has become an open shame, 1 fear, to our eneariets; a scorn and deri- sion even to Yankeee, to whom she was betrayed. THE NIGHTCAP DI6GRACE. -Gen Rosecrans has bit upon an expedient that will probably put an end to cow- ardly surrender to the enemy. Officers and men -so runs the order-wbo are proven guilty of surrendering in a cowardly manuer, are to be adorned with nightcaps, and, made thus con- spicuous, are to be sent, nnder guard, to Camp Chase. The first infliction of this humiliating punishment occur- red in Nashville on the 26th inst. Fifty paroled officers and men were marched through:the streets, dressed in nightcaps, and sent to Camp -Chase. They will not be permitted to remove the badge of their cowardice and dis- grace till they have reached Colum- bus. HEALTHY FINANCIAL SIONS.—The Treasury advertisement for proposals for thirteen milions of the old "Seven Thirty" loan, coning at a dine when the revenue from the exercise lave is just beginning to flow into the Tread- ury, looks, as the Philadelphia Inquir- er remarks, as if Mr. Chase has it, in contemplation to carry on his financial operations withourfut flier resort to the issue of "green backs." This, with the large increase of our exports and the decrease of otic 'esparto, mast, be, fore many weeks, have the natural ef- fect of reducing the rate of exchange and of breaking Cogn the present speculative prices of gold and eilver coin.

This District compri- ses all the Territory of Louisiana lying west of the Mississippi, excepting the parishes of the Plaquemine andleffer- son. A Commission is appointed to take possessiorkof the District, and the sugar plantations are to be worked by them where they are not worked by their owners, and negro or white labcr may be employed at discretion. All property belonging to disloyal persons is to be inventoried and sold f0t Abe benefit of the Government, under th provisions of the confiscation Act. - Another order suppresses distilleries and other mannfoetories of strong drink Another announces that any officer found drinking intoxicating liquors in any publio drinkicg place will be rec- ommended to the President for dismis- sal from tbe service. Another one sup presses the newspaper known as the Ilratiohal Advocate, for an improper publication. Still another prohihts the arrest of any slave unl .ss the person arresting knows that such slave is own- ed by a loyal citizen. General Shep- ley, as Military Governor of the State, has also issued two impertaut orders.

RESIDENT REBELS LEAVING EAST TEIMESSES.-The editor of the Louis- ville .Democrat has conversed with Es. quire Campbell, a very intelligent gen- tleman,. recently from East Tennessee. He reports the resident rebels of that section as being very much dispirited at the retreat of Bregg's army from Keotucky. From his accounts we are led to stippoee that Bragg's retreat has damaged_their cause nearly equal to the defeat of Zolticoffer last winter. Most of the secession citizens are preparing to remove from the State; their mov- able property is going away , as fast as transportation can be obtained.

Meloy acted as Secretary, the following preamble and. resolutions were unanimously adopted: WH4RE,A0, 4 largo number' of diens, participators in and perpetrators of the bloody attroeities committed on our frontier upon defenseless citizens, men, women and children, are now in the hands of the authorities, and have been convicted by a Military Commis- sion of.the crime of murder, and WHEREAS, The President of the United States before signing the death warrant for their execution, has order- ed the testimony under which they were convicted to be forwarded to Washington for his examination, and WsEstiLis, Efforts are now being made by persons far removed from the scene of these outrages to secure tho pardon of these criminals, who are uns acquainted with the circumstances or Indian character, therefore Resolved, 1st. That we moat respect- fully but most earnestly protest against the exercise of clemency on the part of the Government towards the Sioux warriors guilty of participating 10 the late massacres upon our frontier, and convicted by the' Military Commission instituted by General Sibleyand re- quest that the punishment of Close warriors be summary and capital. 2d. That persons far removed from tbe scenes of the Indian barbarieties, have but a feeble, conception of their magnitude; of the vindictiveness, sub- tlety and treachery of the savage tribes, and the means necessary to hold them in subjection, therefore, the remonstran- ces, and petitions of such persons asking the pardon of these criminals, should have no weight with the Presi- dent in determining what disposition should be tnade of them. 3d. That no peronanent peace, or se- curity can pei vado our borders so long as Little Crow and his band is at large, itching to plunder, warder and rapine, a race in whose breasts slumber all the dimities of remorseless savages, and that ee believe that sound policy and impartial justice demand their capture and punishmenk 40. That the public weal, human ity to the red man, as well as peace and the blessings of civilization to the whites demand the speedy removal of the Indian tribes of this "State beyond the borders of civilization; and that sufficient force be maintained on the frontier to overawe and restrain thorn. NEV Yor.w ELECTrox;s-It appears from the official returns of the New Yolk election that the total vote of the State is 603,543, against 975,156 in 1860-a falling 'off of 17,601 The Republican Union vote is 296,470, which is 66,156 leas than the vote for Lincoln in 186O The Democratic vote is 306,083, which is 5,724 less than the Fusion ticket had in 1860. There was less scratching of tickets on both sides titan usual, altnough M. Tremain runs about 000 ahead of Gen. Wadsworth, and tho Democratic can- didate for Canal Commissioner is ahead of Gov. Seymour. MARRIED. --On the 30th ult., by Rev. T. F. Thiokstun, et the residence of the bride's father, Lieut. JANES M.

Many wise sod good One section of our country believe slavery is right and ought to be extend- ed, while the other believes it to be wrong and ought not to be extended. -- This is the only substantial dispute.— The fugitive slave clause of the Consti- tution and the law for the suppression of the African slave trade, are each as well enforced, perhaps, as any law ever can be in a community where tbe moral sense of the people imperfectly support the law itself. The great body of the people abide by the legal obligations in both cases and a few break over. This I think cannot be perfectly cured and it Which of the three may be the beet is no proper question. All are better than either, and all of right belong to that people and their successors foe - ever.

The recommendation that Congress provides by law for compensating any State which may adopt the emancipa- tion act before this plan shall have been acted upon, is hereby earnestly renewed. Snch would only be an ad- vance part of the plan and the same arguments apply to both. This plan is recommended as a means not in conclusion of, but additional to all others for restoring and preserving the national authority thronghont the Un- ion. The subject is presented exclu' sively in its economical aspect. The plan would, I am confident, secure peace more speedily than can be done by force alone, while it would cost less considering amounts and manner of payment and titnes of payment, and the amounts would be easier paid than will be the additional cost of the war if we rely solely upon force. It is most likely that it would cost no blood at all, a dollar will be malt harder to pay for The plan is proposed as permanent the war since compensated emancipa- the war, than a dollar for emancipa- constitution law.

THE SOUTH SICK OF THE MAR —In formation reliably derived from rebel neighborhoods, leaves no room for doubt that the rebel masses, including both citizens an 1 soldiers, aro at last thoroughly disgusted with the war, and anxious to be relieved at almost any price. The severe tension of the last two years is now beginning to react visibly; and it is impossible that the reflex feeling and sentiment shall not soon sweep the leaders from the pasi• tions they have attained by a mil;lure of force anrl;fraud.' DISCOVERY OF NEW GOLD DIGGINGS. —The St. Lotuis Democrat has shown very fine specimens of gold brought to that city by C rpt. T. C. Willard, of the American Exploring Expedition and Mineral Company. These were taken from the diggings on Grasshop- per Creek, at the head waters of the Missouri river. The discoveries in that vicinity are said to be of the moat encouraging character, and entirel y satisfactory in their results. There is quite a village already at the point indicated. The next season will probably be improved by a great many to try their fortunes at theee milties.r Air In the Vermont Legislature both branches have concurred in strik- ing out the section of -the Personal Liberty Act, which provided that ev- ery person held as a slave who, with the coneent of hie master, shonld`dotne into that State should be free. Sr A dispatch from San Francisco, says the President's Message was re- ceived there by telegraph in eight hours from Chicago. THE TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. 'Froin the Richmond papers we learn that great activity' prevail$ in our naval operations. A squadron of twen- ty vessels bas left Hilton Head, and the rebels think Georgetown and Wil- mington, N. C., are aimed at. Several vessels have passed Charleston, which they think are destined to attack Mo- bile. We shall have etiring news be- fore many days. The' ` enetny is not generally at fault in hie prognostics. tions. They also anticipate land at- tacks on Petersburg and Weldon, in which we hope they will not be disap- pointed. From Tennessee we have news of a disaster. The guerilla Morgan attacked a brigade of national troops, which surrendered after some resisteuce —not very '.desperate," we should judge, with a loss of only sixty men. On the same day Morgan attacked Gen. Fry's command, and was repulus- ed with heavy loss, and was pursued. Buell and his traveling court martial, have arrived at Nashville. The news from Burnside's army in dicates that active operations are about commencing. Our soldiers have suffer ed dreadfully from the cold weather. Six, who were out on picket, were frozen to death in one night. A dispatch states that Senator Wilson will introduce a bill giving 810.000,000 to Missouri, as a first in- stalment towards "compensated eman- cipation." A dispatch states that the Congres- sional Camittee of Ways and Means agrees with Mr. Chase that no more Treasnry notes shall be issued. It is reported that a member of Congress from Pennsylvania, has intro- duced a bill authorizing the President to organize ono hundred regiments of regroes. A rnmor prevails in Washington that Bank's expedition has landed. The great prize fight in England be- tween Mace and Ring, resulted in the victory of the latter, who, it is said has been challenged by John C. Hee- nan for the championship. The rebel army in Mississippi is still on the retreat. They passed through Oxford on Thursday, towards Grenada. We have a later account of a fight at Coffeevillo, between our cav alry advance and the rebels, in which the latter wore worsted. Coffceville is only ten miles North of Grenada. We shag be likely to hear something important from this section in a few days. There is a rumor, from pretty good authority, that General N. J. T. Dana, of this State, has received the appoint- ment of Major General of Volunteers. We hope the rumor may prove cor- rect. igT A correspondent of the Cin- cinnati Commercial writing from Louisville, says that reernits by hun- dreds daily come in from East Ten - nesse, and without ceremony enter the service. The brigade of East Ten- nesseeans, before it reaches Nashville, will number nearly ten thousand strong in which will be near two thousand cavalry, well armed and equiped.— They will be sufficiently strong to raise the Star Spangled Banner in ev- ery county in East Tennessee, and maintain their position against any force tho rebels can send against them. LT' The statement made by Mr. Moore, Librairan of the N. Y. Histor- ical Society, at its last meeting, to the effect that he had been informed from an authentic sonrce that Washington's will had been stolen from the archives of Fairfax Court House and sold to the British Museum, excites general curiosity to know further of this in- famous vandalism and its perpetrator.

I • -e_ AN INTERVIEW WITH GENER- AL BRAGG'S WIFE. The Weitzel Expedition from New O,leans to Thibodeaux oame upon the plantation of Gen. Bragg. An inters view with Mrs. Bragg is thus describ- ed by a correspondent of the Times: In the viciuity of Thibodeaux is sit- nated the plantation of Maj. Gen. Bragg. It, of course, attracted the at - tion of our soldiers, and his negroes seemed to have a very intelligent idea of the relation their master etood to the national troop.. As our soldiers advanced, Lieut. Col Warner, of the 13th Connetieet, received word from Mrs. Bragg that she would like to have a gnard to protect her property. This request was promptly complied with, and when Cul. Warner came up, two of hia regiments were pacing quietly before the door of the mansion. They had, however, arrived too late to save the property entire. The negroee had taken advantage of the opportunity to break open the closets, invade the bu• reaus, rip open the feather and moss, beds, in search of treasure, and other- wise destroy valuables in the different rooms. Upon Col Warner's appearance, Mrs. Bragg, with some excitement, commenced expressing "her mind." 1 knew tris lady many years ago, long before she was married, and few wo- men were handsomer, or more el quem with the tongue. I can, tLerefure, readily imagine that Col. Warner got the worst of it, so fir an words were concerned; al any rate, I venture to re- mark that she had the "last say." Col. Warner suggested that it was A sad time; the lady said, "No one asked the national tro ps to come in this vicin- ity. and why were they there!" "Be- cause," said the Colonel, "our duty. and my duty, which I learned from your once honored husband, taught me to follow illy flag, and defend eve- ry portion of my country." Mrs. Bi egg insisted "that the Yankees were ii,truders and invaders of the South." The Colonel replied in courteous language, that he did not anrleistand his position in that light, an I incident, ally remarked that, as an old friend of General B'rigg's, ho would have been pieased to see him. At this allusion the lady's dark and spackling eyes flashed, and she said, "It you would see Gen i3ragg, yon should meet him in the Nest and not here on his plan- tation." The Colonel, with a little malice, replied that •'our Western troops had been trying to meet Gen. Bragg, but their efforts had not been altogether successful." Hereupon t'ie Indy demanded protection, and getting 'in a carriage, rode beyond the intmedi• ate lines of our troops—sad, 00 doubt, to sec that her husband, and the trust- ed friend of General Taylor, and the hero of one of the best fought battles on our continent, was now fleeing out of Kentucky Ti defeated rebel. to soldier writing from Ken- tucky to the Franklin Jeffersonian, has 8 poor opinion of the country near Crab Orchard. Hear him: Bt;t what shall I say of tate count% this side of Crab Orchard, especially of Rockcaetle and Laurel counties?— Brown is a paradise in comparison. The road winds around lofty hills and by the edge of ravines anis abrupt cliffs, being in many places too nar- row for two wagons to pass each other The road pass s throng!' an almost un- inhabitad wilderness with here and there a but scattered along at intery its of eight or ten miles. I cannot say whether or not the people do here as they say they do in the "State of Brown"—run down the babies to put shirt: on them—but certainly the un- civilised appearance of these regions would warrant the presumption. I know by observation, however, that down in the valleys the roosters don't crow for day break until along towards noon. AN IRON Eao.—Iu Dresden there is an iron egg, the history of which is something like this: A young prince sent this iron egg to a lady to whom he was betrothed. She received it in her hand and looked at it with disdain. In her indignation that be should send her such a gift, she cast it to the earth. When it touched the ground a spring, cunningly hidden in the egg, opened and a silver yolk roiled out. She touched a secret spring in the yolk and a golden chick. en was revealed; she touched a spring in the chicken and a crown was found within; she touched a suing in the crown and within it was a diamond marriage ring. There is a moral to the story. LFA negro preacher was holding forth one Sunday, and, in the course of his remarks, said: "Dere be two roads. De fust is a broad, straight road lending to death and brimstone. The other la a straight and narrow road, leading to hell, fire and damnation." '•If dem be de fact," shouted Sam - bo, rising from his seat, "dis yere nig- ger's for de woods." "An Irishman catching a thief's hand in his poeket at the poet -office the other day knocked the scoundrel down, and began to trample on his car- cass as if he was dancing a Fardown- er's jig. 'What's that for?' said a bystander. 'Oh!' said Pat, •it's small change the fellow wanted, and faith I'm after giv- ing him a few post office stamps. .1-41'A trifling sort of a fellow in one of our neighboring counties, not long since, won the affections of the daugh- ter of a bluff, hsnest Dutchman of some wealth. On asking the old man f.r her, he opened with a romantic speech about his being a "poor young man." "Ya, ya," said the old man, "•I knows all spout it; but you is a lit- tle too poor --you has neider money or character." • A ROMANCE OF THE WAR. Flom the Richmond Whig, Nov. 21. Wo find the following remarkable statement going the rounds of our ex- changes: Truth is said to be sometimes stran- ger than fiction. I found on a recent visit to Richmond, a beautiful verifica- tion of this remark illustrated in the person and fortunes of the accom- plished daughter of Sir John Mus- grave, of England. A few years ago Sir John Musgrave and his beautiful daughter visited New York, bringing with theru the prestige of a good name and wearing the livery of exceeding gracefnlneea and refinement of man- ners They were feted and caressed by the merchant princes of the great commercial metropolis. The daughter won the heart of the gallant son of Henry Grinnell, the generous and no- ble -hearted merchant of New York, who has ever been, and is now, the unflinching and dauntless friend of the South, and who has defied the Lincoln government in the expressions of a bold and rnauly opinion in our behalf, and in the manifestation of the most substantial aid and comfort to our cause. Sir John and his daughter returned to England soon thereafter, his laugh ter accompanied Florence Nightingale to the Crimea, ant was the constant companion, day and night, of that an- gel of mercy, in her ministrations to the dying and wounded soldiers of the Crimean war. On her return to Eng- land young Grinnell met her in Len don, and they wore married, where they settled, enjoying all the luxuries end the eleganeies of life whicl, the princely wealth of their fathers could so weil afford them. Col. Virginia, had often met Niles Musgrave in New York, and while passing down the street in Richmond, suddenly end unexpectedly met her, wearing that bland and joyous smile and expression of recognition which imparts such a beautiful benevolence to her counte- nance. "Mere!" exclaimed Col. "I would as soon have expected to see an [Inge] from Heaven! Pray, Miss Musgrave, haw came you hero?" ]ler story was soon told, with most unaffected simplicity. "After leaving Now York," said she, "I returned to England and went with Florence Nightingale to the Crimea. On my return home I married Mr. Grinnell, and on the breaking out of the war in Ameriea my husband avowed his de- termininatien to link his fortune with the South, and I accompanied hire — He soon raised a company—fitted them out at an expense to himself of $15,000 —preferred that some one of more experience should be captain, tak- ing for himself a lieutenancy, and he has gone to fight for the South, and 1 am here in one of tbo hospitals of Richmond curing the best I can for the wounded and dying soldiers of the confederacy." And she passed on—if not an angel from Heaven certainly an angel of earth—the Florence Nightin- gale of America.

In the month of December, 1858, the nn • dersigned for the first time offered for sale to the public Da. J. Bova' Dons' IMPERIAL Wtxa Brims, and in this short period they have given snob universal satisfaction to the uary thousands •off parsons who lune tried them that it is now an established article.— The amount of bodily and mental misery arising -simply from a neglect of small ecm- plainte is surprising, and therefore it ie of the utmoet•importance that a strict attention to the least add most tHlling ailment 'should be had; for diseases of the body must invari- ably affect the mind. The subscribers now only ask a trial of Dr.d.Bovee Dod's Imperial Wine Bitters from all who have not used them. We chal- lenge the world to produce their equal. These Bitters for the cure of Weak Stom- achs, General Debility, and for Purif} ing and Enriching the Blood, are absolutely unsur- passed by any other remedy on earth. To be assured of this, it ie only necessary to make the trial. The Wine itself ie of a very superior quality, being about one third stron- ger ngt r he hole system fromtheahead tnd o the feet. As these Bitters are tonic and altera- tive in their character, so they strengthen and invigorate the whole system and give a fine tone and healthy action to all its parts, by equalizing the circulation, removing ob- structions, and producing a general warmth. They are also excellent for diseases and weak - nes peculiar to Females, where a tonic is required to strengthen and brace the system. No lady, who is subject to lassi- tude and faintness, should be without them, as they are revivify in their action. TIIESE BITTERS Will not only Cure, but prevent Disease and in this respect are doubly valuable to the person who my use them. For INCIPIENT CONSDI!PTION Weak Lungs, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Disea- ses of the Nervous System, Paralysis, Piles, and for all cases requiring a tonic Dr. Dod's Celebrated Wine Bitters ARE UNSURPASSED ! Fer Sore Throat, so common among the Clergy, they are truly valuable. For the aged and infil m, and for persons of a weak constitution; for Ministers of the Geis pal, Lawyers, and all public speakers; for Book -Keepers, Tailors, eamstresee, Stu dents, Artists, and all persons lending a sed• entary life, they will prove truly beneficial. Ae a Beverage, they are wholesome, inn() cent and delicious to the taste. They pro duce all the exhilerating effects of Brandy or Wine, without intoxicating; and are a valua- ble remedy for pi rsons addicted to the use of excessive strong drink, and who wish to re- frain from it. They are pure and entirely free from the poisons contained in theadulter- ated Wines and Liquors with w;.ich the country is flooded. These Bitters not only Cure, but Prevent Disease, and should he used by all who live in a country where the water is bad, or where Chills and Fevers are prevalent. Being en- tirely innocent and hannleoe, they may be given freely to Children and infants with im• punity. Physicians, ranc advocates, as an aet off I� manit tdy,sh uld ase sist in epreadieg these truly valuable BIT• TERS over the land, and thereby eesentially aid in banishing drunkenness and disease. In all affections of the Head, Sick Headache, or Nervous headache Dr. Dods' Imperiel Rine Bitters will be found to be most salutary and ef- ficacious, The many P' ecertlm grill e:8 �ebeen ten• dail eceiving, are conclueiv,Rhiprof thatch were among the women these Bitters have given a satis- faction which no others have ever done be- fore. No woman in the land should be with out them, and those who once use them will not fail to keep a supply. DR. J BOVEE DODS' IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS are prepared by an eminent rliyetclan who has used them successfully in his practice for the last twenty-five years. The proprietor, before purchasing theexclusive right to man- ufacture and sell Dr. J. Boyce Dods' Celebra- ted Imperial Wine Bitters, had them tested by two distinguished medical practitioners who pronounced then] a valuable remedy for disease. Although the medical men of the country, as a general thing disapprove of Patent Med- icines, yet we do not believe that a respecta ble Physician can be found in the United States, acquainted with their medical prop- erties, who will not highly approve Dr. J. Boyce Dode' Imperial Wine Bitters. All newly settled places, where there is al- ways a large quantity of decaying timber from which a poisonous miasma is created, :hese bitters should be used every morning oefore breakfast, DR. J. BOVEE DOD8' IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS Ie composed of a pure and unadulterated Wane, combined with Barberry, Soloman's Seal, Comfrey, Wild Cherry Tree Bark, Spi- kenard,Camomile Flowers, and Gentian.— 'I'hey are manufactured by Dr. Dods himself, who is an experienced and succrseful Physi- cian, and hence should not lie classed among the Quack nostrums which flood the country, and against which the Medical Profession aro so justly prejudicep. These truly valuabie bitters have been thoroughly tested by all c4assee of the com- munity for almost every variety of disease incident to the human system, that they are now deemed indispeasible as a Tonic, Medicine and a Beverage.

His efforts were in vain—and finding themes so, the deacon gave vent to a word more emphatic than polite, which we will not sot down against him, con- eidering the man war tried.

"Do yon know who I be?" "No, confound it." "I'm a woman, deacon." "I might have known it. Nobody but a woman would be catched in such a scrape. I wish there wasn't no women on the foot -stool. I wish there never'd been a woman created." "Where would you a been, dea- con?" "Any way, I should'nt have been in this trap, with my brains beat out with nry own water•melons."

Zebulon grudged the trees the ground they occupied, but they made a nice shade over the grind stone, and he concluded to let them remain for the present, from motives of utility.

Rightly onough, his friends respected him for it, and looked up to him, as people ought to a man who bas sense enough to refrain front committing the worst sin in the calendar. In the year of grace, 1860, Zsbu- lon's pride culminated in his patch of watermelons. Such melons were nev- er before seen iu all the country. It was enough to do a person good to look at them, and that was all the good one was like to get from them, for Zebulon would no sooner have be- stowed a melon on a neighbor, than he would have jumped from the steeple of Winchester meetingshouse, for the Thorne, Norrish & Co's., Store. ammusement of the spectators. - Ono morning, on visiting his melon sprite -1 we Div bed as usual, he di,covered that the • U L .1 14 0 ita plate which had, hitherto, knew the a .L.

No; it would never answer to drag the matter before the public in that way; but there was one method, and that he would adopt without delay.— He had in possession two very strong steel traps, formerly used in trapping bears, and the traps he would "set" in the melon bed, and then when the offender was. *alight, "mid lust give him the bent of one of his Moral lectures=itake bim pay seventy-five cents for the melon, and promise to join the church before the year was out.

THE DOME OF THE CAPITOL. From the National Intelligencer, 27 th. The magnificent Dome of the Cap. itol, designed by Thomas U. Walter, and now in come of construction tin. der his direction, is rapidly approach- ing completion. The principal frame structure has been completed, f the cupola have been put nd the plates, which condi- , tuts outer covering, are being set. and •i11 be finished before the close of nextjhonth. After this shall have be Mug will be left to complete erior of the dome but the con - of tho lantern and the placing Dements on the uper windows aud the spring of the cupola. ornaments are now being cast, one 'of them, representing a honey. hes been placed in position and -very handsome appearance. gs for the inner dome are in rse of preparation, and will be soon ready. The present hight of the iron work above the basement floor of the Capitol is two hundred and fifteen feet, and the hight of the portion yet to be constructed, including the crowning statue, is about seventy feet. About two hundred and seven thousand pounds of iron have been received during the past year, and in the same time about one million one hundred and eighty-five thousand pounds of the same material have been put up. The whole qnantity of iron received from the beginning of the work up to the present time was about seven and a half million pounds, and, according to the estimates of the architect, about eight hundred thou- sand pounds more will be needed to complete the work. .The dome will be crowned with Crawford's gigantic and imposing statue of Freedom, which is nineteen and a half feet high, and weighs about fifteen thousand pounds. This statue is made entirely of bronze, and is composed of five sec- tions, the weight of the heaviest of which is about five thousand pounds. It may now be seen on a temporary pedestal in the east grounds of the Capitol. The screw bolts which now blemish it will be removed when it is put in place, and a rich uniform bronze will be imparted to it.' The entire cost of the statue was shot $25,000. Tile atm. of .700,000 has herkappro- pasted by-Congrese for tie dome, the most of which has been expended. The original estimate of the eost of the dome was $945,500; but tbe distin- guished architect, by rigid economy and a reduction of the weight of the structure, has been enabled to bring down tho whole cost, including that of the crowning statue, to about $900,• 000., . A FIGIIT FOR A K:BS.—My name is Mike Heywood, and I live down in Maine. I'm courtin' a gal named Sal- ly Jones, and I never kissed her till the other night. This is the way it was: I wanted to kiss her right down bad, but hadn't the pluck. Her lips had been a-temptin' of me wuss'n red ap• phis ever tempted a schoolboy, and at last I determined to try for it if I broke a leg. So last Saturday night as we sat together aster me tin', I looked;her straight in the eyes, and sez I— "Sally," sez I. "gin us a kiss and bo done with it." "I won't," sez she, "so there now 1" "I'll take it whether or no," sez I. "Do it if you dare!" sez she. So at it we went, rough and tunable. An awful destruction of starch now commenced. The bow of my cravat was squat up in half a shake. At the next bout smash went shirt collar, and at the same time some of the head fastenings gave way, and down came Sally's hair, like a flood in a milldam broke loose, carrying away a half doz- en combs. One dig of Sally's elbow and my blootning ruffles wilted down to a dish cloth. But she had no time to boast. Soon her neck tackling be- gan to shiver, and parted at the throat, and whorah came a string of white beads scampering and running races every way you could think of about the floor. By belfry! if Sally Jones ain't the real grit, there's no mime. She fought fair, bower*, t Itituat admit, and didn't try to bite or mrach, and when else (*old fight no irWrior Want of breuth, she yielded hendsomety..., Her arms fell down by her side, her hair batik over the chair, her eyes closed, and there lay a little plump month all in the air. Lord! did you ever see a hawk ponnee on a robin? or a bumble -bee on a clover -cup? I say nothing. .414MS A Cole: WiDow.—It is related that a man on his death -bed called his wife to him and said: "I leave my horse to my parents; ;tell him and hand the money you get for him over to them, But my dog I leave to you. Dispose ef him as you think beet." The wife promised to obey. So in due time af- ter the death of her lord she started to find a market for her animal. "How much do yon ask for your horse?" in- quired a farmer. "I cannot sell the horse alone," she replied, "but I will sell you the horse and dog together at a fair price for both. Giveme $100 for- the dog and 11 for the horse, and we can trade onthoseterme;"tand the cutelawidow coneoientionsly paid to the parents the 111 she reeeived for the horse, and bad to herself the 11100 for the dog. Was she far wrong? It is when the work is finished that we feel how unfinialted is the workmanship. ON's STRATGY..--OR a cer tain ton during Wellington's campaign on the Pyrenness, that "Great Captain" being displeased with the dispositions Gen. Picton had made for receiving the assault of Marshal Soult, who menaced him ia front, or- der ed the plan to be entirely changed, But the difficulty was to delay the at• tack of the French until the change could be effected. This the "Iron Duke" accomplished in person in the following manner: Donning his cocks ed bat and waving it in, the air, he rode furiously to the head of a- regi- ment as if about to order a charge. Thereupon arose a tremendous cheer from the men, which was taken up by c4Ft after corps, untilwit reverber- ate ng the whole extent of Pic - mei line. As the roar died away Wellington was heard to remark, musingly, as if addressing himself, "Soult is a skillful but cautious cola - mender, and will not !attack in force until he has ascertained the meaning of these cheers. This will give time for the sixth division to come up and we shall beat him." It turned out as be anticipated,, Soult, uoturally enough, supposed them tremendeus shouts an- nounced the arrival of large reinforce - Monts, and did not attack until too late. Had hi etritek at the right moment he would base woo la setip victory; u It wu, 1M met with a bloody. repulse. This.wai strategy. Not the strategy of booke, but the strategy of genius, eagendemd and executed in the same monieirt. . REMEMBERED AND MOURNED.—For every man who falls in battle some one mourns. For every man who dies in hospital wards, end of whom no note is made, some one mourns. For the humblest soldier shot on picket, and of whose humble exit from the stage of life little is thought, some one mourns. Nor this alone. For every soldier dis- abled; for every one who loses an arm or a leg, or who is wounded or lins guishes in protracted suffering; for sr- ery one who has "only camp fever," some heart bleeds, some team are abed. In far-off humble household, perhaps, sleepless nights and anxious days are past, of which the the world never knows; and every wounded soldiemerho returns to bis family or friend a luting pang with him; 0 the mothers feel this warl If ev God it sad -in Heaven, it seems td'ind it must be when he looks upon the hearts of mothers.

Some few years since, I witnessed rather a strange scene in 5hakspere's beautiful tragedy of "Romeo and Juli- et;" it was at one of the Western theatres. The piece had passed well without interruption, until the last scene. The character of Romeo was excellently enacted and loudly applaud- ed. The very model of the lover *is before the tomb of the Capulets, gaz- ing upon the motionless form of her who had so attracted his soul, and meditating upon an act which would send his spirit to that undiscovered country where he snpposed Juliet's bad gond. Jnst as he exclaimed, "Here's to love!" and at the same time raising the vial which Contained the poison to his lips, a stalwort young countryman jumped upon the stage, seized him, I dashed the vial from his hand, crashed it into atoms, and yelling— "Yer darned fool! she ain't dead!— Only been takin' a little slaepin' med- icine. Didn't yer get the parson's let- ter?" "Sarrah!" growled out the enraged tragedian, while the house fairly shook with laughter. "Why, yer gal ain't dead, I tell yet. The way it was, they wanted to make Julie marry that chap Oar," pointing at Paris, "whose business yon have settled, but I tell you Julie war spunk she got her back right up, and vowed she wouldn't do it, even if while she war lying in the vault the ghost of the other fellow whom yon kilt should dash her brains out with the bones of some of her dead cousins. Wal, her spunk war up, and she took the stuff the par - sob fixed, so she could play possum till you got hum. That's the way it war," replied the countryman, giving the desperate lover a tremendous poke in the ribs with his elbow, and at the same time releasing his hold. "Curses on the fellow!" muttered the raving tragedian, as he stalked be- hind the scenes. "Wal, now," said the countryman, fronting the audience, "if that ain't a little the dod darned meanest cuss 1 ever see, I ho' • o be swowed. That's all the than for stopping hitn s from pize elf.

THEY TAKE Tuarts,—Painful as are the thoughts suggested by the follow- ing little story, there is something so ludicrously amusing in it that one laughs involuntarily. A gentleman, whom we know, was stepping out of his house the other day, when he en- countered a little beggar girl of about ten years old. He nut some questions to her, and among her replies she in- formed him that her father was a days laborer, and her mother a washer and ironer. "Then why do you beg?" said he. "'Cause they take turns." "Take turns! Why, what's that?" "One week mammy gets drunk, and next week peppy gets drunk, and if I don't sell cold villas enough to buy brandy they beats me." A very business like way, certainly, of arranging matters. But is there not something peculiarly repugnant iu the idea of human beings thus deliberately planning and setting apart their times for brutal indulgence and ditsipation? SHEEP ON SHARE8.—A. gentleman of my acquaintance took several hundred sheep West. for the purpose of selling them; but he found it was not so easily done as he expected; in fact, he could not sell at all.

FURTHER ERO;tio THE ARKANSAS VIC- TORY.—General I3lunt telegraphs to Gon Curtis at St. Louis, that the rebels with whom he fought the battle of Prairie Grove, near Fayetteville, Arkansas, have probably crossed the Arkansas river. The enemy left all hie woun- ded and most of hie dead on the tIel t. .One hundred of their wounded have died since the battle, and a large num- ber of the remainder are mortally wounded. The total loss of the en- emy in estimated by General Blunt at nearly 2,000. Our loss is about 200 killed and 500 wounded; most of the latter will recover. Gsneral Herron puts the lose of the eves : at from 500 to 700 killed, and notant1ed, and estimates our own 01053 higher:than Blunt. Lieut.

The great expedition has landed on the Qhowan river and formed a junction with the forces at Suffolk, and the com- bitted armies are moving with resistless strength upon Weldon, some 75 miles aeihth of Richmond, a point which commands the whole system of rebel wounds or diseases. For this number there have been but five surgeons. One man was frozen to death on last Sat-- urdey night. Some Congressmen who lead visited the camp, having called the attention of the authorities to its condition, twelve more surgeons were sent there on the 10th inst., and 2,000 of the worst cases were returned to the hospital. Large numbers of these troops ate from the West. Nrw POLICY IN TENNESSEE.—The Nashville Dispatch states that a new policy has been adopted by General Rosecrr.ns and Govenor Johnson in conjunction, for the •ave4nment and protection of the co , copied by the Fedet•al army. 11 guar - ant 'of protection h.t _ . ted by the military auttaoritiea, `' every citizen, irrespective of his past politi• cal predilections, is required to enter into, and failing to do which he will be sent .• ithout the Federal lines and not allowed to return. The Dispatch, says the alternative here spoken of has not been decided upon, but believe from Rosecrans' known opinions, tha it will be adopted. The citizens ar regnired to obligate themselves by pecuniary bond to the Government to keep the peace and refrsin from giving aid and comfort to the rebels; also, not to go beyond the lines of the Federal armies, or into any section of the court try in possession of the rebels. In re- turn. for this they aro guaranteed full protection for their persons and prop. erty. omestic holder. and,. corporate seen sold their bonds and bou large quantities ter ex hoarding.

The difference between the aggregate amount of Treasnry and bank nate circulation of November 1st, 1861, and November 1st, 1862, was only 621,- 962,000. Second, the prices of rawly of the most important articles;; of Mb- snrnption, such as wheat, ooria, pf and pork, have not materially advanced.— Third, on the 15th day of (sober, when. the aggregate actual cir tion, national and corporate, was $360,000,000, the premium was 37 5 8; whereas, on the 2 of November, when the cireul;ltio increased bad several millions, premium was 29 to 30 per pent ner and ay.

THEY LOOK TO US FOR HELP.—It 18 a remarkable and noteworthy fact, which we may here state, that before the oubjeet of sending relief to Lan- cashire bad been publicly broached in this country at all, there was a very general impression among the Lanca- shire sufferers themselves that they would soon obtain relief from Ameri- ca. This latter fact is brought out in a letter published reeently in the Wash- ington Chronicle, and dated' London, - Nov. 1.8, It has this paragraph: "You may be surprised to find that among the half starved, out -of -work cotton laborers of Lancashire, there is a very strong impression that they will soon receive munificent relief from the United States. They expect this in the shape- cf grain, and evidently remember the liberal and seaeonable relief which America sent to Ireland in 1848. If the United States could be reached on foot, half a million of men, women and children, from the cotton districts here, would have found theirs way, months ago, to the land of the free and the home of the brave,— in their present feeble condition they would be of little use anywhere." is f dthatno less than eight�r�i °o n emissaries of the Mexican govern•' frirMajor Cullen contests Mr. Don - aunt ars now operating in the Arm of th mao with inducements to yaung and. enterprising, Lieutenants and Captains for joining the service of 'The :BQston journal is selling Mezioo against France.

NAPOLEON AND .BUGE11IE AT HOME. Some interesting details of the pal- ace life of Napoleon and Eugenie, of France, are thus narrated by the St. James Magazine: Scarce had Louie Nopoleon been made Emperor of the French, ere he gave orders that the interior of the Tuileries, which had been besmirched by the waves of so many revolutions, should undergo a magnificent restora- tion. The new Napoleonic dynasty selected for a residence the ill fated palace of the last kings of France.— Napoleon 1. had commenced imparting an imperialist character to the Tuiler- iee, and his nephew inherited the plan, like the other Napoleonic ideas, and continued the work. H made all the arrangements himself, std was assisted by his young wife, who had those rooms fitted up to her own special liking, in which she hoped to obtain peace and relief after the tedious court ceremonies. A boudoir and a bed room forms the sanctuary of the Empress. Lux• nrious and yet elegant splendor, most refined judgement, and a poetic tem- perament are revealed in the arrange- ments of the boudoir. • The doors are made of ivory, inlaid with gold; the furniture is roeewood, of graceful shapes, and inlaid with gold; rnirrors of ivory; the sofas and chairs are covered with pale red silk, the walls hung with paper, and the ceiling is an exquisite fresco. A magnificent ,nyrnian carpet vo- luptuously deadens the sounds of foot- steps. Around ban; the most valuable paintings of the old masters. borrowed from the Louvre gallery at Versailles, as well as two family portraits in oil, overshadowed by palms, ododenras and camelias. The window ledges are con- stantly adorned with fresh flowers, and on the writing desk lie splendid portfolios, and books hound in tortuis shell, inlaid with gold. Nothing is wanting which a sense of complete luxury can desire, not even the toning of the light. The red silk curtains, heavily edged with black velvet, throw a subdued hue over every object, and one who enters the room may imagine he is inhaling poetry. A magnificent clock has just struck twelve. Suddenly the folding doors are thrown open, and we ere enabled to take an indiscreet glance at the oth- er room, arid the close white curtain draped around the Empress' bed. A lady in waiting appears in the door- way, arid then steps on ono side, with a deep reverence. Directly after the fairy-like form of the Empress Euge- nie is visible, as she walks with a light elastic step into hor boudoir. She proceeds to a sofa, and sinks into the soft cushions. She then dismisses her waiting woman by a gentle nod; the doors close again noiselessly, and her majesty is alone. The opposite folding doors are thrown open and arouse tho Empress from her reverie. Little Napoleon comes in, followed by his governess.— Ile is tall for six years, though rather delicate, but his round healty face, with his mother's blue eyes and fair hair, contradict all the rumors about the imperial prince being mentally and bodily week. He is simply dressed in a kilt and fine white chemisette, with a loose black neckerchief, and his plaid stockings are not fastened by garters, but with clastics to his belt. Iso merrily runs up to his mother, bat- tledoor and shuttlecock in hand to bid her good morning, he also adds that his father will soon come to fetch the Empress for a morning walk in tho garden. Eugenie rises, walks to the desk, and elide she writes a note hast- ily, in long delicate characters, the child of France plays with his shuttle- cock and prattles merrily with his nurse. The door opens, and the Emperor walks in, in a plain black frock coat and hat in hand, with the exclamation: '•11y love!" The Empress rises and walks to meet her husband, not lov- ingly, but as if thoughtfully trying to read his face. Napoleon invites her to accompany hirn in walk, and she rings and orders her attendant to bring her bonnet and shawl. The Emperor is playing with bis son, and Eugenie gazes at the scene, not with- out sympathy, but her eyes seek be- before all to read something else— something interesting to her—upon Napoleon's face. She is more to him than a mere wife. She is a portion of his existence; and as much enam- ored as Napoleon may have been of the Countess Montijo; he would not have married her if he had not seen in her the spirit of a zealous and rare ally, who was more valuable to him than the doubtful advantage of an alliance with the princess of some reigning house. Eugenie attracted Napoleon by her charms, but not for the sake of being loved by him; so much as to satisfy the ambition of the Montijos. She promised him her hand, but he must first become a real power in France—Emperor. Still she la- bored zealously to attain this object.— She agitated, gained men who admired her over to the Napoleonio cause, and under the mask of an enthusiastic woman, made all the preparations for the coup d'etat with the chief leaders. On that December night,,wimia it was SPEAKING WELL OF THE EVIL ONE. —A pastor was making a call upon an old lady, who made it an habitual rule never to speak ill of another, and had observed it so closely that she al- ways justified those whom she heard evil spoken of. Before the old lady made her appearance in the parlor, her several children were speaking of this peculiarity of their mother, and one of them playfully added: "Mother has such a habit of speak• ing well of everybody, that I believe if Satan himself were the subject of con- versation, mother would find some vire tue or good quality even to him." Of course, this remark elicited some smiling and merriment at the original, ity of the idea. in the midst of which the old lady entered the room, and on being told what had just been said, she immediately and involuntarily re- plied: "Well, my dear children, I wish we all had Satan's industry and persever- ance." Or The Free Labor movement which has extensively but quietly or- ganized in Eastern North Carolina is understood to be preperatory to the organization of the Government of the State on a legal basis, so that North Cat olina'smay acept President Lincoln's policy of compensated emancipation. worked wi h her own Ir .ads in re- storing the Napoleoniceynasty, and Napoleon never for a moment over- looked the fact. In the ase of any eventualities he appoint her regent, for he knew her energy, er political foresight, which were a neatly dis- played daring the Italian carnpaign.— Ho allows hor to preside tt the coon, cil of state, for no one urriorstands so well as she does Napon's inmost thought, or can judge so Il the con- sequences of events. T1*e is some- thing prophetic about hfr, and the Emperor regards her asai porton cf his fate. She is the headht the cleri- CURIOUS VESTIGIES IN THE SWISS LAKES. The boatmen on the Swiss 'lakes, when navigating close to the shore, bad from time immemorial observed is vas rious places, under the calm transpa– rent water, the heads of numberless wooden stakes just protruding through the deposit of soft silt which is gene– rally found at the bottom. Here and there, along with these, largo blocks of wood were visible, stag horns of great size, bones and fragments of pottery. There still lived among them a tradi- tional belief that these were the re-. mains of dwellings, occupied by pec- cal and legitimist tendenc'es of the Na- ple of ancient times, who built on the lakes in order to shelter themselves from wild beasts. And yet century after century elapsed, and no one had the curioeity to look, closer into these shattered fragments of a forgotten world, until the season had ripened for the final discovery. Brit it so happened that in 1853 and 185.4 a period of unusual dryness set in. The higher mountains did not re - insult to their pile in the fact of their ceive their usual supplies of winter mistress net being of royal bheod; and snow, and the lakes scantily fed by the this has ever been the invulnurable glacier streams, fell far below their or- point of French Republicanism.

This discovery was rapid- ly followed by others. In Lake Con- stance, Geneva, Neufchatel, Bienne, Morat, Sem/tech, and in many smaller ones,' (Inktvyl Pfaffikon, Moosseednrf, Luissel,) similar sites have been traced 'They seem, indeed, now to multiply in the note -books of archoeulogisfe with almost inconvenient rapidity.

The beauty o: Eugenie has made the Parisians almost forget the deer -horns, and also some tmpltnente," The attention of Dr. F.

Even the women, who have, in fact, done inure than all the laws under whieh the Jetf. Davis Con- federacy is governed to fill up and bolster up the demoralized army, are beginning to feel, as the good house- wife sometimes floes, that "their cake is all dough." Secession unleavened by tho influence of woman is sapped of all vitality. The children, too, who two years ego were taugut to prattle treason and put on the hated insi nie, are beginning to f clow their ty-four in that of Genova, sixteen in natural inclinations and row, in some that of Constance, and we cannot tell iustau'es, are found wearing the eagle' hole many more the zeal of local in - upon their breasts, and denying, when t gniry, stimulated by rivalry, may have since disintered. And the, amount of ancient objects recovered from the debt ria acquires a magnitude still more for. t:Ii fable. Twenty-four thousand of these have been raised from the single locality of Ccncise, in the Lake of Neufchatel. "Wo are still very far," says Mr. Trayon, "from having recov- ered all the relics imbeded is the silt of the lakes and the peat of the valleys Nevertheless, we are by this acquainted with a sufficient number of points of remarkable richness, to enable us to give, by their description, an idea of that ancient population which had the habit of living on these waters. * "The first possessors of the soil, (the wild boasts,) hal to retire step by step before a new population, which came to raise upou the waters its pictureegne groups of cabins, the stnoke of whose hearths spreal itself in the air. Fires lighted on the beach, were the domes- tic animals were folded, served to keep at a distance during the night the car- niverous ones, who as yet had only learnt to know that element by the electric flashes of the storm. As soon as the lacustrino habitation had attain- ed some development, thousands of piles supported a platform crowned by numerous circular huts, with conical roofs. A narrow bridge connected these dwellings with the shore; boats fastened to the shore served for fishing and for voyages of discovery. Among the trophies of the chase which deco- rated the dwellings, were the antlers of huge stags, bear skins, the manes of wild boare, and the skulls of wild bulls. Tiro furniture was of the most primi- tive kind. Leaves, dried grass, moss and straw beeped upon the floor, serv- ed the purpose of beds. On the hearth, situate in the middle of the room,, was placed the pot -au feu of the family. The eartheware vessels were group- ed in some corner. The arms and va- rious utensils hung from the roof.— These slight habitations sheltered thou- sands of families during a number of centulies; but who will ever telt ot all the scenes of joy and grief which they have witnessed! asked, that they aro Secessionists.— The men everywhere are disgusted with the war. "There is no longer to be heard the talk of the desperado among the pen• pie, old or young; but it is rather the language of culprits, dreading the punishment they fear may coma upon them for their misdeeds. This change in feeling has Leen mainly brought about by the President's Emancipation prociam ation. That was the first in. tiwation to the people of the South that the Government was really in earnest in its attempts to crush the re- bellion. Since that day, every negro in this section of Virginia bas been to all intents and purposes, FREE.— Farms aro now cultivated, and other branches of industry go on as before, by the aid of colored hands:, but their labor is paid for, and paid for well, tco —for the.aveaage wages received by the ex -slaves is $12 per montn. Owe man who did own, ono year ago, .250 head of 'niggers,' now confesses that he likes the Emancipation proelama, tion, because it makes the the 'trig. gens work better. Those who have remained with him are paid liberally, and he is satisfied." THE TRUE PHYSICIAN.—T0 the true physician there is en inexpressible san- ctity in the sick chamber. At its threshhold the mere human passions quit their hold on his heart. Love there would bo profanation. Even the grief permitted to others must be put aside. He must enter that room a calm intelligence. He is disabled for his mission if he suffer aught to ob- sclera the keen, quiet glance of his science. Age or youth, beauty or deformity, innocence or guilt, merge their distinction in one common attrie bate—human suffering appealing to human skill. Woe to the household in which the trusted healer feels not on his concience the solemn obliga- tions of itis glorious art.—Sir E. Rut- tier Lytton. RELIQIO'w.—Religion is not the do- ing of certain acts, or the avoidi ng of certain sins, or the exhibition of cer- tatn feelings, or the offering of certain prayers; it goes far beyond these. All these may exist and yet there is no re- ligion. As the ',marble statue is not the living man, so the most perfect rou- tine of duty is nothing without life from the indwelling spirit. Without the latter, there may be a religioua ma- chine, but nota religious man. oar lakes at the present day, played on the surface of the water, or plunged into it from their platforms. Again, when we see how proud these people were of adorning themselves with rings passed road all their limbs, with long pins, •pendants, and even rattles, it may. be safely concluded that they were not less attached to amusements and fetes.' —Edinburg Review. 1-Rev.Thomas K. Beecher, Chap- lain ot the Regiment raised in the vi- cinity of Elmira, writes from near Warrenton: "I have been glad at heart to see our men in squads taking down a useless fence—by daylight—and putting the lumber to service. When they used to steal it bit by bit, the chaplain was grieved. But when the order came-- "rise privates, take and build" -.then I felt like mixing dialects, and shoutin¢ Bully Hallelujah. We have worked on our huts two Sundays straight on. Mon with axes on shoulder paraded in front of Adjutant's tent on Sunday— the officers gave the order—the Chap. lain the justification—"It is lawful on the Sabbath day to snake a thousand' men every whit whole." It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day. If any of my brethren who dwell in par. sonages and worship in sanctuaries, dissent from building log buts on Sun. day, before I reason with them I shall insist that they just master the quos. tion by taking the blanket and one or- dinary sheet from the beds—and going forth into an exposed meadow, snow three inches deep, and wind a blowing to spend Saturday night. Next, let them be forbidden to enter any helve, or take any hay, straw or shelter stuff: Compel them to hands off from wood piles. Somewhere about ten o'clock in the morning, Sunday, give the good man an axe and a Bible, and tell him to find his duty and do it,, an l my word for it, he will build log shelters all day Sunday, quietly saying: How much better is man than a boast.

THS GRAVES Or THEODORE PARSEC# AND ELIZABETH BARRZTT.BROwtiINQ.— Reverend Robert Haven contributes to the Inetependerit an account of his visit to the grhves.of Theodore Parker and Mra.-Browning in Florence. He says: "The'Porta a Pinta is one of the , eastern gates of Florence. Through it passes the street that crosses the thick- shaded valley of the Arno, and winds by high -walled gardens and pleasant villas to the lofty summit of Fiesole.— Close to the right hand of the gate a wall some twenty feet high starts out of the.city wall, and, suddenly curving soutbwa 'r r i goes for about two hundred yards with it, and `then as abruptly turns westward and joins the wall — Iso its southern front are plain iron gates, opening into a small court. Op- posite to them is a similar pair of gates over which is ttrittaz in 11 ouch, `Their rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.'

The ground slopes up from the outer to the inner wall both from the South and the East. A broad path ascends froth the gate 1 , near the rear of the enclosure, whore a handsome marble column is surmount. ed by a cross. At right angles with this path another passes from the well of the cemetery to that of the city. "On the first path, about half -way up, not more than six or eight rods from the eutrance, on the left hand side just over an outer border.of box an i an inner ono of roses,is a small square sufficinetly largo for but two bodies.— It is enclosed by a long iron rail, rest. ing on four low sandstone pillars. lo the same lot is a small block of the same stone, soma eight inches square and high, with a cross engrat ed ou the top.

HEART-WORDS.—An old writer has truthfully remarked, that we may say what we please, if we speak through tears. Tender tones prevent severe truths from offending. Hence, when we aro most tender at heart, our words are most powerful. Hence one great reason why our words have so much power during a revival than at other times. Our hearts aro more tender than they rsually are—we feel more, and it is easy for the impenitent to see and feel that our hearts are interested in their behalf. They feel that our words are not lip -words, but heart - word . A CLEAR CoNsCIENCE.—flow brave a man can walk the earth, bear the heaviest burdens, perform the severest duties, and look all men square in the face, if he only bears in his breast a clear conscience. void of offence towards God or man. There is no spring, no spur, no inspiration like this. To feel that we have omitted no tank, and left no obligation unfilled, this fills the heart with satisfaction and the soul with strength. x * * * * And now, after enumerating the dif- ferent branches of industry which char- acterized the life of these lacustrine ra- ces, it may not be out of place to re. mark that the inhabitant of the village had also his pleasures and amusements Tho stone quoits found in the lakes re- semble those which the North Aweri. can Indians still employ in their sports A. people of huntsmen mast have found' pleasure in the handling of weapons, and in rivalries of skill and dexterity in bitting the mark, throwing the jive lin, the race and the wrestle.
