'• Well," said I, one fine morning ,.Jftst week* •' 1 have <ne prospect of a

leisure afternoon—a somewhat unu- sual thing with me—and, all being well, I will do a little needful shop- ping ; call and rsaM on hour with my old friend, Mrs. Ashburton, whom, on account of the distance, I have neglected of late, and then, .drop.iB and take a friendly cup,at1 tea with my nieee„ Claw WhitTord?' ''Having "completed my household

arrangements, I accordingly set on I ufter an early dinner, and the shop- ping done, made my (irst call. Mrs. Asbburton's wartti1 welcome, pleasing t ilk. and cheerful fireside, would have proved strong temptations to induce me to accept her invitation.to stay foil the evening, had I not felt anxious to see my niece, whose reei- dence was much nearer my own.

:' : Oh Arriving at Clara's door, I was not a little surprised to see no light in the front part of the house. " I am afraid they are not at home," thought I, with .n regretful mental glance backward to-the pretty home picture 1 had just left. But I was mistaken. A servant came in answer to my ling at the door-bell, and ushered me into the dining-room, lit the gas, and then went to summon her mistress. I had ample time to look about me before Clara made her appeamnce, and. could not help admiring the perfect order and good taste which prevailed in, the apartment and its furniture. I was the more pleased to notice this, as my niece, when married, did not promise to become very notable as a house- wife,.

I was beginning to tire of waiting —my brisk walk over, 1 felt chilly in the tireless room—when Clara entered, fastening a little article of dress, evidently just assumed. Her greet- ing was most cordial, and yet there was a shade of regret in her tone. When our first salutations were over, she said : " Why, my dear aunt, did you not let me know you were coming, and I should have been better prepared to receive you."

"Surely, Clara." I replied, "no preparation is needed before you can bestow a cup of tea on so near a relative as I am. Pray do not make my friendly call into a ceremonious visit, or I shall be tempted to run away again in place of waiting till after tea, and begging Mr. Whitford's escort home."

" Pray, dear aunt, do not think of such a thing. I will light this fire in a moment, and the room will be Warm and comfortable."

So saying. Clam was about apply- ing a light between the bars of the grate, when I stopped her.

" You must have a fire somewhere, my dear," I said, "and where you were sitting when I arrived, will, I am sure, suit me best. If I am to disturb any of your arrangements, I wiH leave you forthwith."

"Then, if so, aunt, you will have to excuse my taking you into the nursery."

" Anywhere to a warm fireside, Clara, but is Whitford from home ?"

" No, aunt, he is here," replied my niece, her color rising as she spoke.

I laughingly congratulated her on her husband's liking for the company of her first-born ; but, perceiving no evidence of pleasure on her countenance, I asked her if the baby was

" °h» ye* 1uite so> thank yon, aunt To say/ the" truth, it was my doing that we are in the nursery to-night, and Frederick is not too well pleased abonTit, but it saves so much trouble, and the other rooms have just been cleaned and put in order. But do

\>ot say a word," she added as she opened the nursery door.

My nephew advanced and shook me warmly by the hand, and then, turning to Clara, said, " I hope, iny dear, you do net intend to make your aunt • nursery guest. If you do, I

shall not wonder if her visits become still more rare."

1 hastened to assure him that I had been brought there at my own re- quest, and begged no difference might he "made j but quietly ringing the bell, he desired the servants to light the dining-room fire, and bring word when it was Well' burnt. Clara bit her lip and looked red and uncom- fortable, while I, feeling still more So, occupied myself in admiring the baby. I could, however, distinguish, easily enough, two or three little articles which convinced me that a tea equipage ban just been removed; and certainly this was not what I should have expected to see at Clara's home, knowing the comfortable and affluent income of her husband. I felt sorry that my unceremonious visit should have produced such an alteration in the arrangements; for I could tell by the production of sundry keys, etc., that many articles not in common use ware to be brought out and the evening meal deferred on my account. Besides, I felt grieved at Mr. Whit- ford's ill-concealed vexation, not displayed towards me, but his wife.

At le'ngth we were summoned to the dining-room; and truly a wonderful change had been effected there. A bright fire illumined every corner ; an elegant tea equipage was on the table ; in short, everything looked— as I bad hoped at first to find it—in accordance with the position of its owners. Moreover, the, pleasant aspect of affairs banished the clouds from Mr. Whitford's face, and so agreeably did the time pass, that I quite regretted when obliged to bid my nieee " good night."

" Good night, dear aunt," said Cla- ra, kissing me affectionately, " do come again but; do let me know when to expect you."

" And then," added Mr. Whitford, after the door was closed, "everything Will be ready; the dining-room fire will be lighted beforb your arriv- al. Dear aunt, what do you think of Clara's new notious of domestic econ

it was impossible not to see the thorough comfort diffused around us.

"My niece," said 1 to Mrs. Ashbur- ton, " was afraid of causing you inconvenience by coming unawares, and taking two places at your tea-table by storm.*'

A cheery laugh i¥om Mr. Ashbur- ton, and a bright smile from his wife, followed my words.

"M#s. Whitford," said the gentleman, "I am tha most fortunate fellow in the world, for nothing ever causes my. wife inconvenience, you understand me, I dare say—I mean none of those domestic invasions which are usually expeoted to cxite • liu-tle. She has a peculiar theory of her own, which she most thorough

DIIATS: nr'THn WALL.

The People's Journal of Health has an article with this fearful title, which is an attack on wall-paper. The writer says: _ ",,!,';

" A good clean paper is certainly more pleasant to the eye thau a fis- sured and smutty wall whose scales of lime are continually peeling off and soiling every garment which comes in contact with it ■ !

"Arid if a proper selection of paper is made, and there be no other lining of similar stuff beneath, it is not only more pleasant to the sense, but is almost .equal, to the whitened Wall. But?here is the difficulty.. As a general rule, one coat of paper is put on over another, as the last gets

ly,reduce* to practioe, consequently too much soiled to look Well, until

omy ? When we were first married

e, are. always able to welcome a ri^nd, however unexpected he may

be." Clara blushed, and stammered a

few words m reply; and perceiving her confusion I changed the conversation. .

On our. way home, after spending a delightful evening, my niece was unusually silent; but at length she asked if I could te)l her what theory Mr. Ashburton alluded to when he said

I > ■■ ." Here she hesitated, " I understand you, Clara," I an-

swered, "and i can explain it in a very few words. Mrs, Ashburton says that being sure of the daily presence of one guest at her table whom She wishes to honor above all others, she always prepares for that one, and is, of course, ready for any visitor, and at any time."

" But I saw no guest besides ourselves, aunt"

"Did you not? And yet the person I alluded to was there."

"Where? — whom do you mean? You are jesting."

" Indeed, my dear Clara, I am not. The one whom Mrs. Ashburton con- siders worthy of all honor is her husband. She says, and I think justly, that she should deem her marriage vow but illy kept if she made all at- tractive in the eye of a stranger, and

she was rather ignorant of household grudged doing so for him Whom she matters;—now we are so exceeding- 'has promised to love, honor, and obey "»u"'-",l i.v. »rv ».v T-* !-»—~l"— *^&

ly orderly and careful that everything is too good to "use. The drawing-room first became so; then the dining-room underwent a thorough renovation, and the nursery resorted to for temporary convenience during the repairs, has become our regular abode, the others only being ' nsed on state occasions, probably our next remove will be in- to the kitchen. I go into other houses and find that their masters can in- troduce a friend at any time with the certainty .of causing no embarrass- ment In my home, on the contrary, the call of relatives even, produces quite a revolution; for plate, china, in fact everything presentable, is laid up in lavender, like the rooms. I wish you would say something to Clara on the subject, as I know you possess great influence in that quarter."

• Have you named the matter, Fred- erick ?" I asked.

" Oh, yes, a thousand times, I think; but I cannot effect any change. I trust you will be more successful."

" I will try, at any rate," said I, as I took leave of my nephew-in-law.

Having thought over the matter, I arranged my plan of operation. I decided it would be better to try the effect of an opposite picture on Clara's mind, before giving utterance to any. remonstrance, for I well knew that young housewives do not generally relish the pointed interference of their elders. I therefore called on Clara- having previously giving her due no. tioe of my intention—-vo accompany me in a long ramble; and I contrived to be near Mrs. Ashbunon's just as tea-time was approaching and we} were thoroughly tired.

" Clara," said I " what is to prevent our obtaining rest and refreshment? I can insure yon both, and besides, you are not quite a stranger to Mrs Ashburton."

" Oh, dear aunt, I could not thinl of such a thing; we should be sure to cause inconvenience.

" You shall judge for yourself, Clara,', I answered; "and if you think st.j half an hour hence, we will journe) homeward."

- The moment we were admitted, ', frankly told my friend that I ha. come expressly to claim her oft-ten; dered hospitality for my niece am', self, as we were tired, but still had »' long walk before us.

" How glad I am my houSe lay i your route!" replied she. "Tea i; just coming in, and my husband wil be here directly."

In a few moments he arrived, an. we were all seated, prepared to joii in the evening meal.

I noticed Clara's glances at th» perfect order which surrounded ni- and the elegant but simple prepare tions for the repast. Besides theu

her husband, and the father of her children."

Clara did not speak in reply; but when we parted, the moistened cheek that touched mine convinced me the lesson was taken home, and I have no doubt that when I next visit my niece, I shall find her opinion is changed as regards the guest most deserving of honor.

A PANTHER HUNT.—A British iravr eller in Brazil gives the following account of a panther hunt near the Vil- la de Fernaiba: T*

" Finding I still persisted in my fa- vorite pursuit, the Governor good-na- turedly resolved on gratifying me with the spectacle of a panther hunt Ac- companied by his sons, we rode out early in the morning to an extensive plain,, in the centre of which was a jungle ; into this the Vaqueiroe had succeeded in driving, on the previous night, a, large panther, preparatory to the morning's sport We took our station on an eminence which com- manded a view of the centre field. The load barking of the dogs, the wild cries of the huntsmen as they galloped round the skirts of the jungle, cheering on the dogs, formed an animated scene. Aroused in his lair, the panther, furious with,rage, sprang forth to meet his enemies. The Va- queiio nearest to the point from which he had issued, now advanced to the attack. lie exhibited a beautiful sight, whjrling iu the air his Jasso, and urging forward with the spur the spir- ited little steed on which he was mounted, whose dilated nostrils, fiery eye-bails, and erect mane, proclaimed his Instinctive dread, of the enemy in his front. The panther crouched in the act to spring on his advancing foe, but he was forestalled by the Well- skilled assailant, who, at the distance of twenty yards, threw his huso with unerring aim. Scarcely had it left his hand before the well-trained horse wheeled round and flew across tlie plain, dragging after him the already disabled panther; for with such beautiful precision had the lasso been thrown, that the fore paw of the ani- mal was fairly strapped to his neck. The whole party now dashed forward to be in at the death. The Vaqueiro, slackening his pace, gradually short- ened the length of the cord till he brought his enemy within a few yards of him, and then, in less time than I can narrate it, I saw him leap from his saddle, his broad knife gleaming in tha morning sunbeam, and with tha rapidity of lightening leaving the cloud, it u as buried in the heart of the panther."

several layers cover the original sur face, thus often being an actual cause of disease.

" A few years since we occupied a house built some twenty years before, in the old English style, strong and solid, so that it seemed almost as good as, or better even, than new. We were gravely told that one room in it had seemed to be fatal to its oc- cupants, hence for several years it had stood vacant. One of the first things which received attention was tflts ill-reputed apartment. It was a north room, so situated that a few slanting rays of sunlight peered into a corner of it for a short time only a portion of the year, entirely avoiding it for months together. Well, here surely was cause for its unhealthful- ness/, hut not enough. After the cob- webs were duly brushed out we searched further. A good-sized fire- place and two large windows afforded entirely sufficient chance for ventila- tion, so we could not look there for the evil. The walls next received attention. They were covered with heavy velvety green paper, hut not ttnly this, for npbn peeling''off a small section with a knife, another green layer was found beneath it, and beneath this another, and yet another. The mystery was solved., The cause of the evil was evident. Nothing wonld have induced as to sleep' in 'that' apartment None could tell horw much of the element of disease 'that thickly-papered .wall, had retained. None knew how much of death there was.in the wall! It seemed as if it gave out a positively sickening odor, now'; and its entire removal speedily followed. Thereafter, though not so desirable as some others, it ceased to have any hidden dangers or terrors, lurking to poison the fountain of life.

" It is a safe rule to choose patterns of wall-paper without green colors, especially those heavy greens which so please the eye, for they contain an active poison, inimical to life, and it is always highly improper to place one layer of paper over another. Bet- ter submit to the dirt and annoyance of having the last soiled paper directly removed, than expose yourselves to the chances of disease and death, through its retention."

EARLY MARRIAGE.—It is a doubtful question as to the' age most suita- ble' for marriage. Some hold that youth avoids many indiscretions by making an early and virtuous choice; others that this most serious contract should be deferred until the mind is fully formed, and assured of its preference by experience. Much may be said in favor of either theory. We have all some acquaintances exem- plifying both the folly and the wisdom of each course. In this, as in every affair of life, extreme decisions go awry. It is true that a long celibacy leads to many errors. Women lose the freshness of girihood, not only in the face but in the thought and manner; While men always prone I© in- dulgences, form impure and temporary attachments, which unfit them at last for the appreciation of virtue. Still we are advocates of mature marriage. A wedding mistake is fatal, and the warm fancy of youth, conceives each of its playmates to be beloved. Now and then two such rash folks find themselves well matched, and dwell pleasantly together; but bitter must be the test of manhood to the very victims of a hasty selection. We can conceive of no pleasanter picture than man and woman grown and mature, soberly yet fondly commencing the partnership of life. These seldom go far astray; but children wedded, remind us at best of Mr. Barnum's manikins. They charm the eye, but we scarcely believe them when they pledge themselves, nor do they themselves realize the magnitude of the act. Single life has its experience to be garnered, no less than marriage. He who is wedded too soon will live bat half his days, in that be will know no virgin period.

At the — Hotel, in Cairo, they are not noted for despatch in filling

orders for meals. If a warm dinner is ordered, some time is taken to cook it.. Not long since I'slopped there, and sat down to dinner with an el- derly gentleman, who ordered a squirrel. I waited sometime for my dinner, but was almost.through, and tbe old gentleman was still waiting for his squirrel. But his patience was at last exhausted, and he beckoned the steward to him, and said:

" Has the man got a good gun t*' * What man?" asked the steward. " The man that's gone to shoot the

squirrel 1 ordered," said the old gentleman, with great gravity.

Just then I choked, and did not hear the steward's answer, but I saw him disappear, and in a few seconds the old gentleman was devouring his squirrel with apparent relish.

T1IMPISA50II TRACTS.

MR. EDITOR :—Let us leave nothing undone to stem the torrent of In- temperance which now threatens us. Temperance Societies, however useful, are insufficient for the exigency. Temperance lectures, such as the fas- tidious demand, are' expensive ami scarce. -The popular Press and. Tem- perance Tracts must do more, or we shall go to wreck and ruin. True, we have had Tracts, but too often thf) long, lank and lean "kine." We need such as are short and sharp; not only readable, hut which will be absolute- ly read, and which going into the very crevices of sin and crime, will lodge burning truth on the conscience of every distiller, vender and sot in a village.

Such Tracts we have. They are written by godly men of strength and genius; some assail only alcohol, etc., its manifold forms and abuses, and some assail the twin demons, Run) and Tobacco — all varieties for all tastes,

Five dollars will spread a thousand and more over a village. A hundred dollars, the price of one fashionable lecture, wjll spread them over twenty villages. And we here give notice, that if any person or persons " hun- gering and thirsting " to do good, in plucking our fellow men from The fire, wish for our Tracts, but are unable to pay for thorn, they can have them, without money and without price.

True, we are not a rich Tract Soci- ety. We seldom have five dollars five days in our coffers, but i we do what we can on our "ownhook," un- trammelled by lordly societies or cap- tious committees. We depend on the voluntary donations of a few—a very few of God's dear children, who like our independent manner of battling popular abominations, and who send us what they please.

Though poor, we make many rich. Tnorefore, gentle reader be free to

j call for our Tracts, for God, who of old replenished tbe widow's cruise, will not leave our cans- to starve.

FREDDY'S PRAYER.—A bright eyed boy of four years was saying his prayers the other night to his mother, and with his hands folded and eyes closed, he sweetly said:

'Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray tha Lord mi soul tojkeep ; if I should 41* btfors I wake 1 pray tha Lord my soul to take!; Uod Bless paps, mamma, and—

He stopped all at once, opened his eyes and exclaimed:

' Mother, mother, what shall I say. ifl have been a bad boy ?'

" You should not stop to ask questions, my son, while you are saying your prayers,' replied bis mother.

' But, mother, 1 have been bad; what shall I say V

• Ask God to forgive yon; bat you should say your prayers all through, when you bsgin, without stopping.

His question answered, he fervent- ly folded his hands and closing his eyes, continued :

' And will God forgive me for kill- ing a bop-toad with a big stick, and throwing it down a big bole ? Amen.'

SXATINO.—It is very doubtful if skating be one of our best exercises. It is not quite free from danger to life and limb, while such rapid motion through a keen, cutting atmosphere, by those "who live mostly in high furnace beat, is certainly a very questionable venture.—Every year, since skating became the rage, thousands ot lungs have been seriously compromised by this violent change: Skating is excellent for hardy people; and for those .much accustomed to exposure, bat it is to be used with great caution by all who live in heat- ed |>arlors.—Botton Joumai of Phyti- Cukmrt.

OABB TOB TBB BJiT»S.

Prescott, the historian, in consequence of a disorder of the nerve of the eye, wrote every word of his Ehs- toricals without pen or ink, as he could not see when the pen was out of ink, « from any other cause fsiled to make a mark. He used an agate stylus on carbonated paper, the lines and edges of the paper being indicated by brass wise* in a wooden frame.

Crawford, toe Sculptor, the habit of whose life had been to read in a reclining position, lost one eye/and soon d;ed from the formation of a mal' nant cancerous tumor behind the b which pushed it out on the cheek.

There are many infections of the eyes which are radically incurable. Persons of scrofulous constitutions, without any special local manifesta- tions of it, often determine the disease to the eye by some erroneous' habit or practioe, and it remains there for life. It is useful) therefore, to know some of the causes which, by debilitating the eye, invite disease to it, or render it incapable of resisting adverse influences.

Avoid reading by candle or any other artificial light

Reading by twilight ought never to be indulged in. A safe rule u—never read after sun-down, or before sun- rise. .

Do not allow yourself to read a moment i n any reclining position, whether in bed or on a sofa.

The practice of reading while on horseback, or in any vehicle in motion by wheels, is most pernicious.

Reading on steam or sail vessels should ndt be largely indulged in; because the slightest motion of the page or your body alters the foeal point, and requires a painful straining effort to re-adjust it. m. ^

Never attempt to look at the sun while shining except through a colored glass of some kind; even a very bright moon should not be long gazed at.

The glare of the sun on water is very injurious to the sight.

A sudden change' between bright light and darkness is always pernicious.

In looking at minute objects, relieve the eyes frequently by turning them to something in the distance.

Let the light, whether natural or artificial, fall on the page from behind, a little to one side. '

Every parent should peremptorily forbid all sewing by candle or gaa light, especially of dark materials.

If the eyes are matted together after sleeping, the roost instantaneous and agreeable solvent in nature is the application of the saliva with the finger before opening the eye. Never pick it off with the finger nail, but wash it off with the ball of the fingers in quite warm water.

Never bathe or open the eyes in cold water. It Is always safest, beat, and most agreeable, to use warm water for that purpose over seventy de-' greet—Hall's Journal of Health.

CURB VOR FROSTED FEET.—I know a remedy against chilblains which is so simpl* and easy that doubtless many, wonld hardly think' it worth trying. As. however, it completely cured my poor feet, which bad suffered for fifteen winters with chilblains, and to which all possible lo- tions and salves, etc., had been inef- fectually applied, I am most anxious to give those who are similarly affeot- ed the benefit of my experience. The remedy consists in a hot footbath only ;. but the water must be as hot as can possibly be endured, and the feet, after having been kept in from fifteen to twenty minutes, must be immersed into cold water, to prevent catchinga cold. An instant relief will be experienced from the burning and itching sensation.

BuilOLAH Y AND DfctPErlATK ASSAULT. —Within the put fit* months not (CM than a dozen robberies of stores ami dwelling! liave been perpetrated in Andover. Though ■one of these robberies have been very extensive, yet their frequent repetition, and the mystery connected witi tbein—no pursuit beingeven suspected— naturally startled the coiiiuiunity, and dispelled Ihe feeling of security*.whiubrwe have generally enjoyed, and whiebfwenrust, will now return.

Having ourselves been three tiroes the victim of these robberies, and being anxious to clear Dp the mystery in which they were involved, We adopted what we conceived to be the most effectual method of detecting tbe person or persons engaged in them; namely, to have a watch in our bookstore. The store is provided with close wooden shutters, which allow of no recon- iioisanitt from within. We should there- tore be decidedly in tbe dark as to the num- lier outside we should hare to deal «iib. A fight was concealed in a closet, for use if necessary. Our plan was to allow the rob- bers to enter the store, and then to secure them if possible.

On Monday night, tbe SOlb ult., being ourselves on guard, at about half-past twelve o'clock we beard footsteps around tbe building. The robber soon commenced boring the shutters of the southwest windosr, which were fully secured. Knowing that he must occupy considerable time in effecting an entrance at this window, we proceeded to the third story of the building to arouse Mr. Holiday, a theological student rooming there, and after apprising him of the work in hand, and asking bim to bold himself in readiness to come to our assistance on a given signal, we returned to the store to await the entrance of the burglars; for we then supposed there were at least two. The burglar occupied fally two hours in making ah entrance; and It waa not until half- past two o'clock that he bad effected bis purpose. Had be chosen the front window where be bad previously entered,* and where we now expected him, he would nave saved us two hours of impatient waiting, and himself a toilsome job.

Not knowing whether we should have one or more persons to deal with, we took a position where we could see and not be seen until all bad entered. One only came. On entering, be lighted a kerosene lamp, having a dark shade oter it/which be so held tbat hit face was concealed. He then commenced rifling tbe desk, taking such thii.gs as he chose, and scattering the rest en the floor. That occupied perhaps four or five minutes. He then proceeded cautiously with lamp in hand reward another desk, in the middle of the room, near which we were standing.

It being now apparent that we had but one to deal with, we approached, revolver in band, within about three feet or him, and demanded • surrender. Instead of comply- ing, he instantly blew out bit light. Spring- ing to our closet in which oar light was bid, we threw open the door. The robber ran for tbe window where he had entered, and had reached the platform when we over- took him. We again demanded a surrender, anil threatened to fire if the command was not complied with. He replied, " I'll surrender." We then ordered him to Walk towardt the front door, which he did, and then to take a poeitVon in the corner of the room. He did not immediately obey, but wheeled around facing us. We repeated tbo order, and be made a move as if to obey. We then took up a bell, and were about to give the signal lor assistance to secure the robber, who was about five feet distant. At that instant tbe fire of bit pistol flashed in our eyes, tbe effect of which wet to blind and partially stun us. Recovering, however, in a; moment, we returned his fire, but, at it appeared, without effect. He put out tbe light, and ran. Being in total darkness, we opened the door and rang the bell, and rushed around tbe building to tbe window at which the robber wat making bit egrets. He had eicaped, however, before we reached it, running through the back yard. We pursued for a thort disttnee, bat finding oartelvet blinded by the fire, and by the blood trickling down into our eyet, we gave up tbe pursuit, and returned to the front of the building, where we found Constable H A. Bodwell and Mr. Holiday, who bad heard the alarm and hastened to our assistance. In hie batty flight tbe robber dropped bit pistol on tbe floor near the window. Constable Bodwell immediately started for Dept. Sheriff Bean, In tbe dim

light whicbj^ll upon the robber we had not been able positively to recognize bim, but gave tbe bast description we could of him to tbe officers, and tbe name of tbe person who it now under arrest at bearing a strong resemblance to the person we had teen in the store. The officers followed the footmarks by the use of lanterns, and by five o'clock bad traced them to tbe robber's borne, about two miles and a half distant Having thus fully satisfied themselves of their man, they came back and obtained necessary papers for bis arrest, which they readily effected, and secured a part of the plunder which he bad taken on previous occasions; consisting of photograph albums, pictures, gold, silver, and other kinds of pencils, pocket-knives, various kinds of per- fumes, etc. He wat taken before Justice Mer- rill, and, for want of bail for SI MO, wat committed to Lawrence Jail. His bonds have subsequently, we learn, been increased to SI 0.000.

He it a young man, just put sixteen j ears of age, the son of highly estimable parents; but for special reasons we withhold hit name from print. He confessed to Ihe officers and hit friends tbe three previous robberies of the bookstore, and declared that he has never had any accomplice!.

The pistol used by tbe burglar waa loaded with two small bullets, which entered the hat at the upper edge of tbe band. One shot struck the forehand at the edge of the hair, tearing the scalp, but not inflicting a dangerous wound, and passed out through the top of the hat. The other shot also passed out through the bat, but did not touch the head. Both balls were subsequently found upon tbe floor. Tbe wound inflicted is not severe, and has caused us far lets pain than we hare suffered from the powder, which wu plentifully imbedded in our face and eyes.

The thanks of the community are due Messrs. Bodwell and Bean, at public officers, for their alacrity in undertaking, and perseverance in executing, the measure which resulted in tbe detection and arrest of tbe criminal.

As we learn there ate many rumors cir- culating in the community which are without foundation, to gratify tbe natural desire for the facts we have dictated the above statement, which it, we believe, strictly ac- curate.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

PA«SKD.— The Boston Journal well sayt lhat " every loyal man in the country will rejoice in his heart, whether be does openly or not, that tbe proposed amendment to the Constitution, prohibiting slavery in tbe United States forever, has passed both houses of Congress. Even those who do not believe that this it the inauguration of a most righteous measure, for which Provi- dence has been miraculously preparing our people, may cheerfully acquiesce iifthe step which fairly lays the whole question before the voters of the country for an impartial and final se'.tlemcnt. In thit connection we would render the thanks of the people to those Democratic members of (he House who, having power to defeat the measure in this Congress and put it over to the next, or else to subject (he government to the great expense and trouble of an extra session, have chosen rather to defer at once to the evident will of the |ieople. They have acted like true Democrats in this respect; and it should not be forgotten that, through their compliance, most, if not all, the State Legislatures will be able to act upon the amendment during tbe present wsnter or coming spring.

" The joint resolution—the paternity of which it would be somewhat difficult to settle, on account of its many verbal changes before taking its final shape—which passed the Senate at the hut session and tbe House yesterday, by six votes only above the requisite two-thirds, readi u follow!:

" That the following article be proposed to the Legislature! of the several Slates as an amendment to the Constitution of the j United Stales, which, when ratified by three-fourths of said Legislature, shall be valid lo all intents antl purposes, u a part of the said Constitution, namely:

ARTICLE XIII. Sec. 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary

servitude except u a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Sec. t. Cong-eat shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

" Thit tells the whole story for itself. Ev- ery man understands what tbe new article means, and if all have not yet made up their minds upon it, it it because to many are hourly changing from its opponents to its supporters. At to changes tbe other way, we do not believe that a solitary instance of the kind could be discovered since the question WU first seriously agitated. Of the final result, then, there can be no doubt. Twenty-live States at least voted for Presi- dent at the last election, and it ii possible that the votes of two or three others may be allowed. But three are the utmost number that can be counted in opposition to the amendment. Even if all the States in the Union u it was—thirty-five now in number —should put themselves in a condition to vote on the amendment, it may be doubted whether tbe requisite nine could be found for its defeat. But if any of these choose to aland aloof, they matt be content to see this {rreud wave ol redemption put over the and, to its everlasting enrichment and hon-

or and glory."

SCENE AT THE CAPITOL OK THE PASS-

AOK or THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND-

MENT.—The Washington correspondent of tbe Boston Journal thus speaks of the scene in the House of Representatives on tbe passage of the amendment to the Constitution:

The event of the day has been tbe final reference of tbe proposed Emancipation clause to the State Legislatures* The galleries of the hall of tbe House were literally packed With ladies and gentlemen, and on the floor were Senators, Judges, officers of the army aad navy and distinguished citizens from almost every State. The Democrats endeav- ored at one time to filibuster, and urged a postponement of the vole until to-morrow; but Geiieial Ashley who has engineered tbe resolution, was inflexible, and at last tbe voting Was commenced just before four o'clock. There was almost breathless sus- pense untir James E. English of Connecti- cut voted " aye," when there wu a cheer, and the applause wat repeated after the af- firmative vote of John Ganson of New York, who waa a member of tbe Chicago Conven- tion. At last the result was declared—One hundred and nineteen Ayes to fifty-six Nays, when, for at least five minutes, the ball rang with applause. Handkerchiefs were waved, congratulations were inter- changed, and every loyal man and woman present appeared delighted; 1 , & i a ■ i

RECEPTION or BOSTON- SUPPLIES AT

SAVANNAH.— The citizens of Savannah held a meeting on the nth ult., at' which Mayor Arnold presided, to acknowledge the generosity of Boston a nil New York in sending relief ~to, that city. Appropriate rpeeches were made, and a series of resolutions adopted which, acknowledge with gratitude the spontaneous and unsolicited liberality of the citizens of New York arid Bos- ton, and declare that the eloquent and touching letter of tbe Boston Relief Com- mittee to an unfortunate people it treasured for tbe children of many a family. Tbe committee say the condition of the country ought to carry conviction to every unpreju- diced mind tbat there is but one course to pursue, and that is to aim at a speedy termination of the unfortunate strife which bu been devastating the country for nearly four years. Having appealed M> arms to decide the question, tbe weaker party, in tuch a contest, mutt abide tbe issue of events, and cannot dictate terms.

Rev. A. L. Stone, in bit discourse at the Park street church, Sunday forenoon, said that although he at first thought it bis duly lo go to California, he now felt that duty and affection alike decisively indicated Park street u his proper field of labor, and his mind wss now at rest upon the subject He wat very emphatic in announcing hit intention to continue with the church over which he hu beeii to agreeably settled for sixteen years.

A correspondent of the N. Y. World reports General Sherman u replying in an-

fnends to a great extent. In reference to tbe cause of bis removal, he says:

" And now, fellow citizens, let me state, speaking with the full knowledge that what 1 say is lo be spread broadcast over tbe country, that i am here lo-dsy on the written letter of the Lieutenant General lo the President, for my relief, in wh.cb fetter no word is said of Fort Fisher, nor is there

SHERMAN'S MOVEMENTS.—Private ad- vices from Savannah state tbat Sherman commenced his movements in South Caroli- na on the 17th, with three columns, tbe main

tion of the enemy's forces, and of the irre- sistible strength of ihe North. The above feelings have been carried lo their height by tbe subsequent accounts of the capture of Savannah and tbe great naval expedition advancing againat Wilmington. The fall of the latter place would be universally re- garded as toe prelude to that of Charleston, and that again to the fall of Richmond ,and

Xaiqxllcl gives to toe leather not only ■ splendid jet black polish, but an Elegant and Fashionable Perfume,

The neatness and convenience of using Liq- uid Blacking and the superior polish which it gives over other kinds has heretofore been in a great measure counterbalanced by its disa- greeable vinegar odor and the trouble of fitting something into the stopper of each bottle in order to apply it to the brush, but the Ver- natella Blacking hat only the most delightful perfume which remains with the leather- aa long as the blacking lasts, and each bottle has a stick ready titled in the stopper. The Vei natella Blacking also softens and benefits the leather.

Be sure and inquire for the Vernatella Blacking, Price IS cents per bottle. Man ufactured In the Chemical Department of the Cahoon Manufacturing Co., and for sale by Boot aad Shoe dealers everywhere. . •

THIS Company, believing It for the interest of the consumer to buy directly of the

manufacturer, have determined to place their goods Immediately before the people at retail, Instead of selling through the ntual channel of commission merchants and jobbers, and have accordingly opened a branch of their business at the above-named place. That thia method Is for the interest of the consumer will be readily reen. It it a taring to them of the profit* of the middle-men and speculators.

The Hoop skirt business Is usually done as follows: The manufacturer places his goods with the commission merchant for tale. The commission merchant tells to the jobber, the jobber to the retailer, and the retailer to the consumer; and of course each of thus must make a profit (except the consumer, who most say it), which will be about thus: the manufacturer 10 per cent, the commission merchant 10 per cent, the jobber 10 per cent, and the retailer SO per cent. Thus the consumer pays a profit of SO per cent on the original cost, and in many cases much more. For in times like the present, when speculation Is rife, goods Frequently pass through the hands of outsiders, who make a profit on them before they get into the regular channels of trade.

Now 10 per cent is a fair profit for the manufacturer, and 5 per cent will pay the expenses of retailing. Thus the consumer can bay of the manufacturer at a profit of IS per cent on the original cost. While if they buy of other than the manufacturer they must pay a profit of at least 50 per cent.

Another advantage: The manufacturer who retails his own goods, having a store exclu- sively for the purpose, hat sufficient room to keep hit goods in good order, and, having a large trade, is enabled to keep hit .slock fresh with supplies of new goods every day trom the factory, while the dry goods retailer, not having room sufficient, throws all numbers and qualities into one common pile, aad must tumble them over from top to bottom for every customer that calls. Of coarse the goods get soiled, the hoops bent or broken, and many nearly worthless before they are sold.

The Pemberton Hoop-Skirt Company are prepared to make skirts to order, of any style, site, or length ; also to repair old skins.

The particular attention of ladies working in the Mills Is called to our CHEAP mill Skirt, particularly adapted to their we.

Ladies only are in attajsdance, and every facility Is afforded for trying on and Siting skins.

NEW VOLUME AND NEW SERIES BEGIN JANUARY, INS.

Commence Subtwaiption With Hew Volume-

Sie Eclectic Magaiine was commenced fat , and hat been successfully conducted for

the last twenty years, from that time to the present.

As many of the numbers are ost of print and) it is impossible for the Publisher to tun- Ely back volomes from the commencement, It

i proposed, with the Jannaty number, (o begin a New Series and s New Volume, and while all the essential features of the work will be retained, some new ones will be adopted, which it is believed will add to the artistic aud literary ralue of the work.

Notwithstanding the greatly increased cost of publishing, the price will still remain the same, and we trust our friends and patron* aid us in Increasing onr circulation by induc- ing their frlehdt to commence subscriptions with the New Series.

The contents of the Eclectic are carefully selected each month from the entire range of Foreign Quarterlies, Monthlies and Periodi- cals.

It aims to give the choicest articles from the pens of the most eminent .foreign writers on topics of general interest. »THE GREAT QUE8TI0N8 of the DAT,

touching Literature, Morals, Science, Philoso- phy, end the Ana, are thoroughly and ably discussed by the most brilliant sad distinguished expositors.

THE REVIEWS of the moat NOTABLE PUBLICATIONS which from time ta time appear, and which are so extended sod comprehensive as to give the reader the floost ex- tracts and a general Idea of the whole work, form a noteworthy feature of the publication.

Manv of the articles In the foreign periodi- cals treat on subjects entirely local, and it is the aim of the Editor to carefully select only those of interest to the American reader.

THE MI8CELLANY DEPARTMENT, containing brief criticisms of both Foreign and American publications, selections of poe- try, scientific and art items, is mads with great care from extensive research and varied reading, and adds much to the value o' the work.

Each number It embellished with one or more fine steel enijrayings—portraits of eminent men or illustrative of Important histori- cal events. •

The twelve Monthly Numbers make three volomes per year, with Indexes and Title-pages for binding.

I have closely observed several other kinds of clothes-wringers, the modus oper- and! being different, trying to produce the name results as the Putnam Wnnger, but in my judgment they have failed. The Putnam Wringer is at near perfect at pouible., and I can cheerfully recommend it to be the best m use.

' The Congnsgationalist says:

"The1 question now is, whether the Gov- ernor has any right to take this course r It is an assumption, on bis part, of power superior to ihe Court!, the laws,—the Com- monwealth that is behind them. How does he, constitutionally, get, that power ? Has be the /plates* shadow of justification for such a course? Ia not his position most dangerous lo the liberties and welfare of the Common wealth T Having sworn to execute the laws, does he not perjure himself by a ■eiftl't—every hour of which it of the nature of a point blank refusal—to execute tbem in this case ?. If any private reason ia imperative with Hit Excellency to the cetirea which be is taking on the subject— the only honorable and conscientious eourae open to his pnteuiag, would be that of the immediate resigns tion of an office whose duties lie cannot perform."

AL AMKMDMEMT.—Haasacbuaatt*; was net the first State to ratify this glorious amendment, but when tbe matter was taken up it waa acted upon with significant emptiest*. The ratification bill waa passed unanimously by both branches of the Legislature. The Legislature* of twenty States are now in session, and the amendment ha* been ratified by the following: Mew York, Pennsyl- vania, Maryland, West Virginia, Rhode Is- land, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri. While Delaware, a* wa» expected, ha* refused to ratify the amendment, there is a prospect that' Kentucky will do ao; Gov. Bramlett having, unexpectedly, recommended the passage of the ratification bill.

' The matter is now under Congressional consideration; whether the vote* of two- thirds of all the States will be necessary to make good tho constitutional amendment, or tbe votes of two third* of tbe loyal States. The latter position should rightly,and without, a do#bt will be, establiabed ; und thus will the amendment speedily become the law of the bind. , ■ MI

»—'—■ EXPLOSIONS or Kaaosifyu are becom-

ing more and more frequent. One can bardly take up a newspaper without a bead- ing similar to the above meeting the eye. In Kewburyport qui'.e a number of these explosions havo recently occurred; in one instance resulting in the loss of life. When kerosene waa test introduced it Wat com. rnewded to tho public as non-explosive. The claim was completely maintained up Io within a comparatively short time; and even now we presume the greater quantity of Kerosene sold ia not explosive. It is supposed to derive its explosive character from ac'.ulie ration with benzole, or spirits of the same oil; by which mixture the illuminating properties are increased, while quite a saving i* made in the coat. Thi* adulteration i* in all probability the mischief of sellers, and Hot of manufacturer*; as a manufacturer would, instead of making more money by the operation, very soon ruin hi* business.

It Is lo be hoped that this nefarious impo- sition, involving a* it doe* the peril of life and property, will be brought to sudden check by prompt and stringent legislative enactment. '

THIS Company, believing it for the interett of the consumer to buy directly of tha

manufacturer, have determined to place their goodt Immediately before the people at rttatr, instead of telling through the utuat channel of commission merchants and jobbers, and have accordingly opened a branch of their business at the above-named place. That Ihit method it for the Interett of the consumer will be readily seen. It it a aaving to them of the profits of the middle-men and speculator*.

The Hoop skirt business It usually done at follows: The manufacturer placet hit goodt with th. commitsion merchant for tale. The commission merchant sells to the jobber, the jobber to the retailer, and tha retailer to the consumer; and of course each oi thete must make a profit (except the consumer, who must pay it), which will be about that: tha manufacturer 10 per cent, the commission merchant 10 per cent, the jobber 10. pet cent, and the retailer 20 per cent. Thus the consumer payt a profit of SO per cent on ths original coat, and in many cites much more. For in time, like the present, when speculation it rife, goodt frequently past through the handt of outsiders, who make a profit on them before they get into the regular channels of trade.

Now 10 per cent it a fair profit for the manufacturer, and 9 per cent will pay the expenses of retailing. Thus tha contumcr can buy pf the manufacturer at a profit of IS per ceitt ajMfc. original J»»AaStiUfi if they bqT of*WrflBBhi.,He minutatilssHfcey mutt pay a pMsWWIlaast UperdK,

AnotharadvasMge : The m.taMbrar who retails hit own goodt, having a liora exclu- tively lor the purpose, hat surScient room to Keep hit goodt in good order, and,'having a targe trade, ii enabled to keep hit etock fresh with supplies of new good, every day from the factory, while the dry gdod. retailer, not having room tufflHent, throws all ndmbcrs and qiielitiei into one common pile, aad must tumble them over from top to bottom for every customer that call.. Of courte*.he goodt get tolled, the hoops bent or broken, and many nearly worthless before ther are told.

Tha Pembtnon Hoop-Skirt Company are prepared to make skirts to order, of any style, tixe. or length; alto to repair old ikirtt.

The particular attention of ladiet working in the Mills it called to our CHEAP Mill Skirt, particularly adapted to their use.

Ladiet only are in attendance, and every facility it afforded for trying on aud fitting ikirtt.

THE NEW YORK MERCURY. TflC FBIDK OP THK FIRESIDE.

In the irrtme of a vigorous Intellectual manhood, tbe Phenix of the weeklies begins its flight for trre new yenr, over the wrecks of its flagping and lifelees.cotemnoraries, with its eye fixed upon the sun, beneath which it owns no rivalry.

The war, wliicl, baa toppled down whatever is shallow end beseleas, has written no wrinkle* on the bright ssgisof our success. Our features for the issue of lobo shake tbe pillars ol wl atever

Braddon, necromancer of the strong dark passions, to whom we pay more money annually than the entire capital of our Imitators, and add to our American staff the championJeater of the cap and bells, .Josh Bill. Ings, who will commence with the first of .lanu- ery aseries of his well-known inimitable comic

Eapers, written expressly for us. in his irresisti- ly convulsive vein. Harriet It, Prescott, the

most polished and imaginative sketch-writer living; P. T. Barnum, the world-famed showman m.d nutohiographer; Miss M. A. Karlie, Fairfax Balfour, Dr. .1. II. Robinson, end " Nod limit- line," renowned and versatile novelette-writers, will eke out the sparkling contributions of such facile poet*, feuilletonist!*, humorists, critics, travelers, paragranhists, etc., as George Arnold, W. O. Eaton, Millie W. Carpenter, tieorge Al- fred Towuseud, Julia S Ingrahnm, Kdwaul Wi|. lett, George Martini, Joseph Barber, .1. A. Pat- ten, ao4 others numerous enough and clever enough to lun a'l the newspapers on the Conti- nent.

The vivid pencils of Parley, McLellan, and White, trie first draughtsmen of the age, will make the new volume pictorial, and whatever of fugitive or meteoric note may anpear during the year, will at once be engaged and made available.

In addition to its crisp end telling editorials, hi

. I est and wittiest poems, curicatun proposi- lerques of the times first appear; and its co-

A P*lAOTIOAI,BBj«MOK AT OflHRlUJI.

An iitfereatiajt revival is in progress i9jlhat,joft-i«vor«(l community, and <H persons have lately united mth ihe-Firsiijnurch. A corresjioadeM of the Congregalionnlist relates a speci- meu nl practical preaching lately performed by President Finney, the pastor. On Cliriiettnas morning, before commencing his sermon, he. laid lie- lore the people an affecting statement of the wants and distresses of the pour, as disclosed by the operations of the City Mission:

,i" When-,if' was concluded, Presi- •"' deIeot»,',l«, Uo»»iper-s Club, in wKich the npi rla..i t?;n.,n.. „„:.i I T i ■ i •" and wittiest poems, curicatures, and bur- dent Finney stud I have a proposi- toques of the times first appear; and it* co- lion to make. Tbe ordinary way of . queillsh Ladies' Promenade, to which ell tbe passing the taxes to raise money will not Answer in this ense. I will be one of ten lo pay tea dollars each. Let those who will join tne rise.' Eleven ■ if twelve arose. 'Now,' said he 'I will lie one of twenty to pay five dollars each, and raise another hundred! who will join me?' The number specified Was soon completed. En- couraged by the promptness of the response, he rose again, and offered to be one of fifty to pay Iwo dollar* each. The people evidently liked to keep him company, for the fifty were noon found. Not satisfied with this, he exolaimed: ' Let us have another hundred from those who are able to pay but one dollar each- The society will need it all before winter is over. Whe will join me again •' In a short time (he fourth hundred was pledged. ' Mow,' said the good pastor who never believes in doing things by the halves—' let the deacons pass the boxes, and gather the halves, the quarters, and the dimes.' if A considerable sum was realized

in this way, and all had an opportnm iy to share ip the good work. Then followed singing, such as one seldom hears outside of Oberlin, after which the pastor led in a fervent prayer of thanksgiving, that they had been permitted lo minister to the necessities of Christ's needy ones.

■ There was no time for a sermon —-there was- no need of one; they had been doers of the word, if not hearers ; and after the doxology and benediction, they retired lo their homes, feeling, no doubt, that they hud been blest in their deed.''

MEANING or Two PHRASES.—The meaning ol the phi uses, " tin-owing n sop lo Cerberus," uud " throwing a tub to a whule," is to divert the intention of some person or irihunul that you wish lo elude, from your main design, by fixing his or its attention upon some small concession, which, in comparison with your ohief object, is of trilling importance. Cerberus, in the heathen mythology, was n terri- ble monster in the shape of a dog, that guarded the entrance to the in- fernal regions, and whose vrgilance il was customary to elude by throwing him something lo gratify his vo- racious appetite. Hence ihe phrase, a sop lo Cerberus,"—in short, a bribe discreetly administered. A whale, from whoni danger is apprehended, is said lo be sometimes fooled by having a tub thrown to him, which either floats so lightly upon the waves as to elude all its efforts to dash it in pie- ces, and so leads him away from the threatened point, or the destruction of which, in case he should happen to seize it, would so modify his wraith as to occasion him to forbear further violence. Hence, when a person ap- prehends an attack or trouble in a certain quarter, from some dreaded source, he " throws a tub to a whale."

A BAD PRACTIC*.—Many persons who use kerosene lamps are in the habit, when going to bed or when leaving • room for a short time of turning the wick down low in order to save a trifle of the consumption of oil. The consequence is that the sir of the room soon becomes vitiated by the unconsumed oil vapors, by the gas produced by combustion, ana also by the minute particles of smoke and soot which are thrown off Air thus poisoned is deadly in its effects, and the wonder is that more persons are not immediately and totally injured by breathing it. Irritation aad mila- raaiien of the throat aad lungs, headache, dizziness and nausea are among its effects. , 1 — i

WILL BE PAID IN COIN, on Bonds of not over

one hundred dollars annually and on all other

Bdnds seml-annually. The Interest Is payable

en the first days of March and September In each

year. -.,.,...

Subscribers will receive either Registered or

Bonds are recorded on the book's oT the U. S.

Treasurer, and can be transferee: only on the

owner's order. Coupon Bonds are payable to

Subscribers to this loan will have the option

of having their Bonds draw interest from MieTjaV

1st, by puying the accrued interest in coin—(tfr.

hi United States notes, or the notes of Notions!

Banks, adding fifty per cent, for premium), or

receive them drawing interest from the date of

subscription mid deposit. As these Bonds are

Exempt from Municipal or State Taxation, -

their value it increased from one to three per

cent, per annum, according to tile rate of tax

levies in various parts of the country.

At the present note of premium on gold they

Over Eight Per Cent Interest m currency, and are of equal convenience as a

permanent or temporary Investment.

It Is beHeved that noseenrities offer so great

inducements to lenders as the various descrip-

tions of U. S. Bands. In all other forms of in-

debtedness, the faith or ability of private parties

or stock companies or separate communities

only is pledged for payment, while for the debts

of the Uuited States the whole property of the

country is liolden to secure the payment of both

principal aud interest in coin.

These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums

from $S0 up to any magnitude, on the same

terms, and are thus made equally available to

the smallest lender and the largest capitalist.

They can be converted into money at any mo-

ment, and tbe holder will have the benefit of the

interest.

It may be useful to state In this connection

that the total Funded Debt of the United State.

on which interest is payable in gold, oo the 3d

day of March, 1864, was $768,905,000. The in-

terest on this debt for die coming fiscal year will

be $45,037,126, while tbe customs revenue In

gold for tbe current fiscal yenr, ending June 80th,

1864, has been so far at the rate of over $100,-

000,000 per annum.

It will be seen that even the present gold rev-

enues of the Government are largely in excess

of the wants of the Treasury for the payment ol

gold Interest, while the recent increase of the

tariff will doubtless raise the annual receipts

from customs on the same amount of imports-1

lions, to $1150 000,000 per annum.

He secured five thousand acres on the railroad at Hammonton, and in 1858 his colony was fairly under way. His ideas with respect lo colonization appear to have out-stripped all others for comprehensiveness, whilst his plans were definite, practical, and liberal. He sold to none but actual settlers, telling the mere speculators to go elsewhere, and gave special en- couragement to fruit growing. „He introduced the New England school system and kept ont the sale of liquor.

H« laid out Streets and roads, and in other ways expended money liberally in promoting the 'welfare of trie settlers. These were of the best class, prmcipajly from, flew England; intelligent, tasteful and industrious.

It was a gigantic project, such as no other individual in this country had ever undertaken to carry out. lit required experience, incessant personal attention, great administrative and engineering ability, and the ex- penditure of a large capital. There have been owners of tracts as large, but none who undertook to transform them from a dnetaliyn into a japu- lous comiuunif^'ImJtiy of this land wus such, as tqaa*muySriu being pl«i- ted out as the owner*desired. There were no rocks lo blast, no rntjiintains to remdw, no unwholesome swamps to drain or fill up. He began the enterprise nmid the gjoom Mrttiph over- spread the public mind immediately alter the •Utbrefck «f the^iavehrjlder's rebellion. His friends predicted dif- ficuities and discouragements, while' all advised him to wait bsfpte com mencing such an undertaking. . -.-.i,,,

But his confidence was not to he shaken ; he knew thai the very con- vulsion against which his friends were warning him was one of those which, of all others, induce men to look for pecuniary safety by purchasing land.

In August, 1801, Mr. Landis went upon his new purchase with a surveyor, for the purpose of locating the first street tlmrwus to cross the railroad, since called Landis' avenue. As there was r» fcMtrnrge ruad;' *itbjer to or through the woods they traversed the narrow cow paths afoot until they reached the spot where the sUiveyor was to plant bis first stake.

Of the thirty-acre farm of Mr. Wil- liam O. I H. Guynnetli, a brief notice may serve as an illustration. This gentleman is from Boston, and Was among the earliest of the settlers. He Ixjught thirty acres, then utterly wild, now completely tarhed.

planted, showed such an excess of fruit as to compel Mr. Guytmeth to remove -at least half. In no section of New Jersey have I seen the grape- vine grow so rampantly ss in this ground. Cherry trees, paers and oth

The visitor lo Viiielund cannot {?,{! to notice the absence of fences, even in a ride of fifty miles. No forms have been fenced in, and not a dozen town kits.. It had been calculated that five million dollars wduj'd be tia- quircd to do the fencing of the whole tfact. To 'save the, settleme^.flym this,useless tax, Mr. Landis invoked the .aid of the Legislature. A new township was erected bearing >bis name, in which the running at large of cattle and swine was prohibited, thus each settler fences in his. own stock only, and fS suVeji; the. great cost of fencing out the vicious road thieves of his neighbors. No ether township in New Jersey is found with a similar regulation. w '" ^ '

That paragraph in General Sherman's last general order settles a question which has been a good deal muddled, chiefly by what may be called the * too-many-cooks "system.

No ducal owner of hereditary acres, either in England or on the Conti- nent, v ith an annual income greater than the value of the fee of all Vine- land, has ever undertaken a similar scheme of colonization. Such men devote their enormous wealth tp acquiring more laud, not to sharing their acquisitions with their less fortunate

It has been left to a single Ameri- can citizen to set. before all others thus extensively endowed with land, an example which wilt' add more largely 10 the sum of human happi- ness, the oftener it may 4th imitated. • ■• As may be supposed, such a transformation as Mr. Landis has thus- ef-

was a rapidly growing town, having er fruits flourished equally well. It was the same with' strawberries, goose- berries, and blackberries. This ground had not received a particle of manure. What' "it now is affords a practical illustration of the real value of this section of New Jersey; three years ago a forest, now the productive and really elegant home of an intelligent and accomplished family.

On reaching the extreme boundary of the Vine land tract, I called on Mr. Robert G. Brandriff, who has here cultivated a farm of ninety acres during the last eleven years. This length of tillage I judged likely to show what was th* teal stamina of this soil, whether it had any enduring heart in it, or whether it Would Speedily run down to barrenness.

I As Mr. Brandrifi's land was of even lighter character than that pf Vine- land, its behavior under long cropping would afford a favorable test for the whole neighborhood. He gave rue without reserve, all the particulars of a truly remarkable history, with the

; permission to use them. Eleven years ago this farm was covered with forest The ownnr offered it to Mr. BrandriffIbrfonr hundred dollars for the ninety acres, and ample time for payment, and being a storekeeper 4 few miles off, added the important help of a credit on his books for sap plies for family use, and materials for building to the amount of six him dred dollars. At this time Mr. Bran- driff was not possessed of a dollar, but he went to work, cleared up his land little byjjttle, ,a ftifv acres yearly, and thus conquered nil difficulties, until now he has sixty acres in cultivation, from which his receipts in 1803 were two thousand dollars.

iHis family consists of six persons, who have lived well during this time. His fences aad buildings cost him some $1,600. He keeps four cows, pigs, and one horse, by which all the work on the i easily titled soil of the farm is done. He hires'but one man except in busy times. For the wants

churches, schools', stores, mills, and other conveniences. I conversed with numerous settlers as to whence they came, "and how they fared in their new location. As a body they belong to the better class of citizens, are educated, intelligent, moral and enterprising. The drones which infest other communities are never- found in hives like this. Great numbers of them are from New England, while the neighboring States and even the West are largely represented in this common centre. Many have built costly and elegant houses. Many are pnrfessionai ^fruit-growiers and gardeners. Those who buy farms are practical farmers. There are. wealthy families in Vineland who remain there because of the mildness of the climate and healthfulness of the place. Taken altogether the settlement has an old and cultivated look already.

The soil of this great tract varies from a sandy to a clay loam, is reten- tive of manures and abundantly productive. It produces frorn 100 to 250 bushels of potatoes per acre; 15 to 25 of wheat, though the premium crop for whoat, in Cumberland county, ifi 1855, was 44 bushels per acre. Of shelled corn, 50 to 75 bushels is the ordinary crop, and two tons of grass.

Fruit trees and vines bear abundantly. I saw new peach orchards of thrifty growth, some trees showing fruit, and grape vines giving promise of abundant crops. The winters are so mild as to allow of out-of-door work nearly all through them. Mr. Landis told me that lor seven years he had not known the plowing to be interrupted by reason of frost, for five days in anyone winter. All kinds of fruit ore cultivated, the five and ten acre^foWtieibgnibrtly devoted to the- smaller descriptions. Ail such are planted se that the picking will come in succession, thus' strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries, peaches, grapes, BfHMee>,eto.

In driving many miles over Vine- land, I entered into conversation with numerous settlers at work by the roadside. Most of these happened to be farmers from the West, New Eng- land, and'Western,'New York. All were busy on their growing crops, sometimes in groups of two or three, in the corn-field. Not one of them but expressed his preference for his new location over the bleak cUmate he had leTT. Tsaw but one desirous of selling and removing, and but one house having on it a hand-bill as be-

gaogs of loafers congregated about 'footed, has powarfully affected the their door*. The law erecting Landis ' township, gave to the people the power of saying whether rum should be sold dr; not. So 'far/they'have rigidly refused to have it among them, and the character of the settlers coming in will guarantee exclusion in future. The fine, hotel which accommodates strangers, has been at no expense for either bar ortoddy-stick. These two enactments'were portions of Mr. Lan- dis' original plan, and afford satisfactory evidence of the sound morals and practical good sense which he has brought to bear in carrying'it out

No one can spend, a day at this place without beingstrongly impressed in its favor, nor converse with its proprietor without being struck with his remarkable executive capacity. His wholp enterprise of settling a tract of forty-five square miles of wild lewd has been, conceived and carried out on the most comprehensive scale. • It is now successfully established on what was three; years ago, a pjerfect solitude, by the energy of a single ca- pacious mind. I have seen much of toe process of making new settlements on the waste places of the earth ; but rip instance of methodical planning, of far-seeing judgment, of just calculation, of' greater ends from a great beginning, than is here exhibited. The original plan, as it was transferred from the projector's mind to paper, can now be seen unfolded in all ita symmetrical vastness. Even the details are everywhere visible, all of them in harmony with the whole.

That these results hare bean actually realized is shown by the rapid and astonishing success of tfi3 settlement. Families are daily coming in from a distance, and selecting homes wherever they think best. As at the beginning, the proprietor continues to convey these locations at low prices and on-liberal credit Mere idle speculators, the men who buy bat do not improve, wer? not wanted and have been kept out. Mkqy purchasers, ^e- ipg well supplied with means,, paid eaah for .what they bought; but to many worthy families the credit given has proved extremely useful.

The cloud of prejudice' which overhung this portion of Ne,W'Jersey, has been effec- tually dispersed. Railroads have made it as accessible as any other region. Within two hours ride of it there is a population of a million of consumers, whose consumption of its products must annually increase. Within such an atmosphere these lands which how sell at from 9£o* to $35 per acre, must rapidly rise in value unti\ tlley reach the prices command- ed north of Ciimden, where, having enjoyed railroad facilities for a longer period, they bring front $100 to $300 per acre.

RATHER HARD ON TUB DOCTOR.— At the recent election, a merchant presented himself at t'ho polls, accompanied by a well-known physician, when, with a view to avoid taking his turn in the long row of voters, the physician interceded for his friend, and requested that the crowd would give him1 the head of the line, on the ground of being under medical treatment The merchaut looked, as he was, in the prime of health, when Fred Walter, penetrating the dodge; spoke out—

" I say, doctor, is that man under your treatment.?'*'

" Yes, sir," said the doctor, with exqnisite politeness, " he is now under my treatment, I assure you, and I have been his family physician for the last—let me see—for the last five years."

"Five years!" interrupted Fred, "for Heaven's sake, gentlemen, let|the man vote at once; he'll never have another chance; he'* outlived Dr. t> ',» aiher patients six nipnths!"

Mr. Bmndriff showed me his account book for the eleven years he had been at Wbrk, in which all his receipts and expenditures were clearly entered, with the balance accurately struck at each year's end.

Vineland is probably increasing as rapidly as any new town in the West.

paragraph we have quoted, i The negroes are limited to tracts of not more than forty acres to a family; an inspector of settlements and plantations is appointed to administer justice, to deliver land-titles, to maintain order, and to superintend the enlistment of the able-bodied blacks into the army. He is particularly charged with the care of the families of those who are serving in the army er navy; aad these families have the. same rights of pre-ompiion as though their husbands or sons were present. , ,

This is, in brietrthe plan of settlement ordered by General Sherman, no doubt after fall consultation with the Secretary of War, and by his command. It throws the blacks entirely upon their own resources— which should have been dpne, in par

MACDOHALD THE HIGHWAYMAN —

John Mac Donald or Boston, having bean convicted of robbing Weston, the Beverly expressman, was on Monday sentenced, by Judge Lord of Salem, to imprisonment in the Stale Priaon during hit natural lire, firat seven day* to be solitary.

The detection and conviction of ibi« man

. was somewhat singular. When be commit-

ted the robbery, be waa disguised by having

in i be evening after daik, and, disguised as

he was, there would set m to be but little

c hance for recognition, at tbero wat no oth-

da)i after tbit robbery be wat arrested fora

crime committed nesr Boston; Weiton went

into taw lockup among the prisoners there

and rei ognised Mai Donald ; went into

court and swore against him, bit boots cor-

responding to tha tracks in the mow. The

jury convicted him, and the judge sentenced

him for life. Since bit conviction, he

confessed ibe crime.

that many had lo go away unable to obtain

Speaking of a Christ Frederick, Md., tha

Hon. Mr. Rica, representative in Con-

gress from Boston, in reply to an assailant

of the Nivy Department, thoroughly dis-

cussed tbe alleged faults and failures of tbe

Navy, Among other things well and truth-

fully said, Mr. Rice put the case thus:

» Well, sir, during this year 1861, starting in the spring with only four vessels available for Ibe whole uses of this gigantic war, to blockade all the southern ports, to recover all tbe placet thai bad been stolen from us, to open tbe great internal channels of commerce—starting, I say, with those four vessels, before the close of the year 1861, tbe first year of tbe war, during a period of only about nine months, the number increased from four vessels to two hundred and twenty-six. This it the work accomplished, so far at outfitting a navy it concerned, by this Department, in the first nine or ten months of the war. During the second year, that number was increased to between three and four hundred. During the next year, if I remember rightly, it rose up to more than five hundred and eighty. And now, sir, at the end of tbe fourth year we have a Navy of six hundred and seventy -one vessels; not all built on one plan, not all built of one site, not all built of one fashion and for one use, it the honorable gentleman from Maryland would seem to imply by his argument would bave been judicious, but various in their construction and applian- ce!, adapted to the ever-changing, ever-new exigencies and necessities of this great war."

'• We have to-day accomplished, in the construction of our naval vessels, the two things which the government started out lo accomplish when it entered upon this gigantic undertaking, so far as Ibe theory of the constitution of vessels is concerned. In the first place tbey desired to devise a vessel that would carry an armor" which the ordnance of no foreign nation could shoot through, and then lo place upon these ships guns throwing a weight of metal which, if it would not perforate, would crush in ibe side of any ship belonging lo any other nation. And I say here, without the fear of contra- diction, that thai result hat been accomplished, and t l>nt we to-day bave vessels whose aimor isa complete piotection against ibe gum of any nation on the lace of Ibe earlb, and that we also have on ihnse vessels, on the monitor vessels, guns that will drive from the ocean any vessel that may come in conflict with our ships."

At a late public meeting in Richmond, to

bear the report of the rebel commissioners

concerning negotiations for peace, Hon. Ju-

A very singular cast- is that of a soldier in hospital in Philadelphia, who, it is said, bat not slept a moment for over fourteen years. He says tbit steep forsook biio in tha summer of 1850, and he hat never felt even drowsy since that time. He has been two years in oar army, holding tbe position of orderly sergeant, and has teen hard service, and taken part In several raids, without affecting hie remarkable wakefuluess. On one occasion • number of scientific gentlemen investigated bit case, and watched bun constantly for forty-two days and nights, without detecting a tingle dole or discover- ing the cause of the phenomenon.

Gen. Grant wit before tbe Committee on the Conduct of the War last Saturday. The following question wat asked him:

It is stated, upon what authority I do not know, that you are charged entirely with ibe exchange of prisoners ?

Gen. Grant replied: "That it correct, and what it more, 1 bave effected an arrangement for ibe exchange of prisoners, man for man, officer for officer, or his equivalent, according to i he old cartels, until one or the other parly has exhausted Ihe number they now bold. I get a great many letters daily, from friends of prisoners at the South; evct-y one of which I caused to be answered, telling them that (hit arrangement hat been made and that I suppose ex- changes will be made at the rate of 8000 per week, or just at fast as they csn. I will receive them and deliver their prisoners to them. I in) self saw Col. Hatch, the Assis- tant Commissioner of Exchange on tbe part of Ihe South,' and be told me that the Salis- bury prisoners would be coming on at'once.

CHICAGO TIXNKL.—Tbit tunnel If to burrow under the lake two miles, oat to where the water is deep, clear and i-ool in all weathers. There a vast structure of wood and iron, weighted with ttone and with three tiers of floodgates to let in the water is to be put down to meet the tunnel; and in tbit way the city is to be supplied with pure water when the work is done. So far, tbe work is entirely successful. Six hundred feet of tbe tunnel are completed. It It driven through a' trait bed of strong, compact blue clay, through which not one drop of water baa come, though they struck fire once and came near being burnt up. The clay is cot with a tool like a carpenter's adte, and the arch—two brick thick and each brick inspected three times—is then laid as the clay is cut out. The digging has brought out some curious hints of old times; as, for instance, great rolled boulders are found buried under sixty-five feet of clay, and stones with the unmistakeable gla- cier groove in them at the same depth, and stones that yield petroleum, and stones of which no other specimens have been found between tbe Allegbaniea and tbe Rocky Mountains j and iron pyrites with a goldy facination about them, and gypsum, and cu- tiout hints of all sorts, for those that love to read " sermons in stones,'

THIS Company, believing it for the Interest of the consumer to buy directly of the

manufacturer, have determined to place their goods immediately before the people at retail, instead of selling through the usual channel of commission merchants snd jobbers, and have accordingly opened a branch of their business at the above-named place. That this method is for the interest of the consumer will be readily reen. Il is s saving to them of the profits of the middle-men and speculators.

The Hoop skirt business is usually done as follows: Ths manufacturer placet his goods with the commission merchant for sale. The commission merchant sells to the jobber, the jobbor to the retailer, and the retailer to the consumer; and of course each of these mnit make a profit (except the consumer, who mart nay it), which will be about thus: the manufacturer 10 per cent, the commission merchant 10 per cent, the jobber 10 per rent, and the retailer SO per cent. Thus the consumer pay* t profit of 50 per cent on the original cost, and in many cases much more. For in times like the present, whan speculation is rife, goods frequently pass through the hsnds of outsiders, who make a profit on them before they get into tbe regular channels of trade.

Now 10 per cent is a fair profit for the manufacturer, and 5 per cent will pay the expenses of retailing. Thus the consumer can bay of the manufacturer at a profit of IS per cent on the original coat. While if they buy of other than the mi nufaeturcr they must pay a profit of at least 50 per cent.

Another advantage: The manufacturer who retails hit own goods, having a store exclu- sively tor the purpose, has sufficient loom to keep his goods in good order, and, having a large trade, is enabled to keep hie stock fresh with supplies of new goods every day Irom the factory, while the dry goods retailer, not having room sufficient, throws all numbers and quslities into one common pile, and must tutnl'le them over from top to bottom-for every easterner that calls. Of course the goods get soiled, the hoops bent or broken, and many nearly worthless before thev are sold.

The Pemberton Hoop-Skirt Company are prepared to make skirts to order, of any style, aise. or length; also to repair old skirts.

The particular attention of ladies working in the Mills It called to our CHEAP Mill Skirl, psrtlcnlsrly adapted to their use.

Ladies only are in attendance, and every facility is afforded for trying on and fitting skirts.

This trial and sen' tehee will reach that class of crimi- nals who are what is called " respec- table," under the cover of which they can conceive and carry out rascalities for a lengthened period, which, in the case of poorer ruffians, must be brought to light and to punishment immediately.— Pngltih Paptr, ■»ij en....._ ._ _..

raised for the same objects, or so much relief dispensed to the sick and wounded.

But in addition to tbe vast amount of food thus dene, other objects of very great importance have been attained, through the medium of the fairs held in aid of tbe Fonda of these Commission*.

Ma The thoughts of the people through- •nt tbe country bare been fixed upon tbe great struggle, far more exien-

, aively than they would otherwise have been. Associating it, throughout our cities, towns and villages, with the perils and sufferings of our brave men Who are fighting the battles of the Union, we fee! more deep- ly the ditty of yielding oar own aid to tbe uoblo cause.

In the aeat place, our gallant armies, officers and men, are cheered by these practical displays of sympathy on the part of those left at home. They feel, not only that they are not forgotten, but that they are thought- fully aad tenderly oared fur. In this way, the good done, instead of being confined to its immediate objects— the sick and wounded—extends to the whole array. Every one feels

• that, though he may not now need relief, hit time may come, when he

■ least expects it. The whole service is included in the benevolent intention of the Commissions.

Lastly, it it mainly through these fairs for the Christian and Sanitary Commissions, that tbe patriotic women of the country are able to take an active part in the contest.

LoitoiNo TO BE WOUNDED.—A correspondent of the Springfield Repub- lican, writing from the lines or the army before Richmond, thus gives ex- pression to a singular feeling which hat for some time been prevalent among the troops on duty there, as well as in other parts of the field of war:—

" Without lost of blood a soldier is rarely a hero. This the toldier is made to understand, by the lone of the public press, by every personal letter that touches on the subject, and especially by all that he sees and hears if he ia at the North on a fun lough. The consequence is, that a desire to be wounded is general among officers in the army, merely to meet the requirements of borne sen- timents. They know that no faithful service, no daring bravery, no unwa- vering endurance is so likely to wiu them praise at tbe far rear as is an entry of their name on the list of casualties. They know that those who were slightly wounded in the first fight of last spring, iu Meade's or Buller'l army, and havo been since absent on sick leave, are to-day given ten times more honor in their native town than their fellows who remained at the front, and were ten times more exposed to the flying bullets and bursting shell, while suffering all the privations and hardships of the fear- fat six months of uointermitted battle and campaigning. They know that the bullet which breaks the skin counts more than the exposure which hresks the constitution, or the blow which breaks the heart They are ambitious, else they would be unlit for officers, and their ambition prompts them to crave a wound that they may win respect at home. If they are good officers they don't want a severe wound—not enough to take them off duty, but just enough to count to their credit. I have heard officers boast of (a wound, and others speak enviously of a wounded comrade, or bemoan their laok'of at least a scratch for the surgeon to report."

MR. BAXTER, M. P., OS THE AMER- ICAN CONTEST.

Mr.-nr«E; Bunt*, <Wr*,.-,'Tor»Mon-

test in America, in the Blairgowrie ^ecba^io'.Hall, on Tuesday evening, to a Juice audience. Mt. W. S. Sou- terl'ba'nKef, 'Blairgowrie, presided.

• Mfc Baxter beganby saying that he had been compelled to decline all other riinilar engagements this winter, l^ut he could not well refuse the re- quest whichiMfeepftjnade to him to., ijpeak to a Blairgowrie public at a time' peculiarly favorable for saying sortfettiittg' nboiit'-fhe American war. H*vmg been- rwtee *n •the' United States,^ having travelIed"Wer the greater part of them, and studied their history and politics with the closest atWHffcmj * aWstth»*toiS','{lto'sWd)»M throw «ut'n few hints for your eon- siclwu^j^-jvhioii you aw nollike^to find, in ,toeTiines newspaper, or in those ethe'rjournals which seem to gel'theW^nYormation solely from thSft quarter; and 1 have a right to assert tny impartiality, because in former years 1 published my views as freely about the faults of the Northern peo-

their excellencies, and because I suffered a great deal of odium on the pBtt'ofBritisn abolitionists—some of them, by the way, now the most ve- hement, although not the best in- foreas^aditoeetn^dfitua^Suinhlsrn Confederacy—for maintaining that a slave-owner could be a Christian, it wajLif T mistake pot,,in vtys very hall that Earl Russell made the announce- ment, since become famous, that the majority of the people of this cbnntry were on the side of the North. Every one who knows the working classes, knows also that the statement of. the uoble Lord is quite correct; but he might also have added w/th ;#Ujh that the bulk of the territorial aristoc- racy nnd the grandees of commerce are Oft the other side. They regard the United States with feelings of jeal- ousy, it not of alarm ; they complain of their past arrogance and present insincerity, and wish to see their pride humbled along with the crippling of their power. Into the merits of the present controversy very few of these Southern sympathiser* have, to do1

them justice, entered at all. My belief and prayer is, that before this ter- rific struggle ends many of them will see the„ rnaijer, j,q, a very different light, and be able to rejoice in the failure of what I hold to be one of the. most unwarrantable revolts in history. Mr: Baxter next proceeded to state tbMKe^g^4IWtt^ecreeW«i- tutiun of 1789* no single State had a right 10 secede whenever it, thought firoper^ quoting, in .suppdjt df ,bi» arr gument the opinion of Lord Mans- field, Washington,and Andrew Jack- son., He I by no means, however! atdtad,t.|)«| audieft^jsr%. condemn the Southern'-rising Wcauae,it was a rebellion, for many rebellions had been jnstifiable.and hlnnyt*oels had right- fully received the homage of all good mnjfcAvJ&ii vi*«*liw*aui% iisyehed against Spanish, bigotry, and rapacity ; the Swiss threw oft a tyrannous yoke; our .XoltlKrtt JbaMHUPedfoiltSs did qu.to right jn declaring themselves independent of a mother country who had refused- to redress their serious atidr totiAtutoxX grievances*-/ an* who does not rejoice at the success of the uprising at Na^iles ? Therefore trfe South had a right not to secede, but to rebel. But to rebel against what? Of what did they complain? Who oppressed 'them ? Where were, their wrongs ? It could not have been the constitution "fatbeo'fJniled States which ground iheni down; for with vcrY trifling amendiiienu they have *inoo adopted it as their own. Had the North abused that constitution in its woriring to Sonlhern disadvantage? Why, the South had been dominant— mistress of the sM«ttkiB—from the be- ginniug, and, *bapks tw tUe Democrat- ic party, almost all the time. 'She had, taftwt, goverted the .North, and English philanthropists blamed the latter, in ray opinion jiuilyv Sumb- mining to the dictation of the plant- ers- tfiiKfjr»<ra»riM>hji8iM»n the trouble to examine the constitution know* the uudue and unfair advantages whioli it bestowed upon the

■«outh. Th* whole poHej of the tJn}- tefl'fetfcte's, foreign and domestic, wits dictated by the South and men who in this country venture to repeat the often_exposed*fallacy that the Pro- te^twnist tanfl's passed for.tho benefit of New Ehglripd ;manttf^cturers had much to- 'da, with seoession should really take the trouble of analysing the division lists aj_tlie time when those tariffs became law.

sion, when, in both Houses, there were more Southern voices titan North- ern r«eofdedjjyij^Ljroti>f ipo^aiiei1, duties.' The fact is, that the onlv free traders in America are the Westertf farmers, and the' ttfrlff question had1

no more to do with the rebellion than the man in the moon. If any one doubts this, will he be kind enough to tell hie why it is never once mentioned in any of the ordinances passed, by. the various States, and in which are set forth their reasons for secession? I have read'them all', and now hold in my band copies of those issued by the States of South Caralina, Texas; Alabamn. and Virginia. In language so plain that he who ruus may read; they inform n? that slavery and slavery alone is the cause of their desire to separate from the' old Union. The framers of the^e important papers, whatever may be thought Of the step which they took, were at least no hypocrites; they <lb' not,like their friends on this side the Atlantic, put'forth counterfeit reasons, and claim' foreign sympathy on false grounds, hot tell us in as unambigu- ous English as w>s ever written, that they secede solely because they aee in the election of a Republican Pres- ident danger to the domestic institution. The policy Mich they, tn con- junction with the Democratic party, had "Steadily pursued, and which had been' in the ascendant for so many years, was to employ the whole power of the. United Slates to perpetuate and extend negro slavery. 'The con- stitutionforbade the Federal tiovern-. ment or Congress froro abolishing slavery in the States where it already existed, but it did not forbid the exclusion of slavery from the new territories, the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law, the reversal o( the Drcd Scott decision, and a more effectual co-operation with other Powers in putting down the African slave trade. The Republicans, therefore, wisely re- so.ved to confine their actions within liinfts strictly constitutional; but they at the same time knew very well that the domestic institution could not he sustained without, territorial •man- sion, (Mild mtttt eventually : wither away under the influence of the measures adopted at Chioagb. Such was the sitaation at the beginning of the war. We had been for years heap- ing reproaches oh the American people for their pro-slavery tendencies and laws; at length that party, which had ever been opposed to this course of legislation, and which, moreover, bad always been the friends of Great Britain, became strong enough to take their staid on anti-siavel-y grouud. Can,you wonder if they feel disap- pointment that we have meted out to them so scant a measure of sympathy ? Since the rebellion broke out, since the slave-owners, by having re- coiirse to arms, ^themselves opened the door to such an amendment of the constitution as went straight to the root of the matter, the line of de- marcation between the two parties has become more distinct, and none of us now can have any excuse for refusing to recognize the difference between thetn.^ Now, is tt possible still to say that these men are fighting for independence, nobly battling against oppression, fit successors of Wallace, and William of Orange,'and Gejjrge Washington ? Why, the bare idejsj Js an insult to patriotism. They are fighting—not to free themselves from shackles—bat to rivet the shackles Qt the black man. From the beginning of the strife, and altogether apart from the merits of the great question at issue, I never could feel sympathy for men who, while in office, haying sworn fidelity to the Uni- ted States, recoiving nay ns Cabinet Ministers, were •civfely' plotting for the destruction of that very Govern- ment whose servants they were, emp- tying the Federal arsenals at the North, sending away all the war ships to distant seas, placing Southerners, implicated like themselves in the con- spiracy, in command of all the posts of importance, and spending that time which they had vowed to devote to the service of the Uulon to its demol- ition. If men are oppressed they have a fight to throw off the yoke; but sooner or iater retribution, I feel persuaded,, will overtake men who without a grievance were guilty of treason. Y»toa»* ta>h*Vfarth every element which is required in order to create a great'and prosperous nation —unrivalled industry, remarkable mechanical skill, flourishing manufactures and commerce, an influential literature, admirable common schools,', religious bodies so active and liberal that they have done more in propor- tion for the spiritual wants of the people than any church established in Europe. My eyes are nut blind to the faults of the American character, or to the defects of the American

constitution ; on the contrary, Ibave J all the forts, «r»enals, custom-houses, r^nhted'Wni'mrT'ynd'aW in the Snath were ere.'ted by dpon thdrtt atreftjitH bWdrtJ'tiow*;' oWC | funds 'snpplied'b'y' the general rove- dp4f'f let^s'rtrn'sjway with fhe'idea mie. They know well, moreover, thi that heciliiso ddr frientty'itt'tl&tgrea't'l danger of permitting the foundation cfcmitry aVe ndt perfect that tbey cina- uol govern, themselves, that their institutions are breaking down, thri't on account of a slaveowner's revtytj'IJle- nidciacy *as fcflefl in 'America.

of a separale {Government close to their own capital, established on ha- tred perhaps as deep-seated as ever existed between two nations, and without any natural line of demarca- tion to lessen the risk of constant col- lision. They feel that it is essential to the prosperity of the Western, States that the mouth of the Missis-.

fcmrfdiflg iepilbllcswo'yer the world' in Canada, in South Africa, in Aus- tralia, jh N^W' Zealand. Now just contrast'for a moment the picture Which I have drawn of the Northern States with the social condition of the South, Wetf before the' war. ''Ex-' cepl1 Sew'Orteahs Which is 'ttfdri? French thaii American, they; hail no city worthy of the tjamfe. By the side of St. "Louis,' Crtjclnnatii 'sfnd Chicago— Mobile1,' CbartesWil'ahd, Sa- vannah Were mere decaying vf)la«es. The srfr Was'hrisferiibly cnttfvated, the roads weire1 execrable,' the inns bad', tH,'noas&',aHwbid*hsa\'' They had ho systehvljf scKooW, nnrdly any liooksellers'shops, very few manufactories, and 'settrcfely'"a 'shiri. 'Their cleverest merchants-and mechanics, th#ir be»| teachers and tradesmen, all came from New England; and in respect to manners and morals, what could you expect under that plantation fiyslem whose long wail of mis- ery lias reached heaven, and .called down the avenging jndgmentspf God? I know very,well that there,were ancl are good'meh"'a'nd Women at the South; but on my conscience I believe that social system which they have fostered, and are now seeking to perpetuate by force of arms is worse thau war. The alternative is a dire one I admit, and you may think me, it may be, fanatical or bloodthirsty,

lor both; but still I cannot help say- I ing, better a sharp decisive end to this I contest than the continuation of a so* 1 oial. feUvi* whioK -«*w«IA JiuliMit -muri brutalize and drive to atheism gener ations yet uriliorn. I have seen hor- rors in the Southern country which make my flesh creep even now, and if the result of this war should only be to put an. end to the abominations of Virginian slave breeding, then the blcod of many a brave man will not have been shed in vain. I come now to my third position—perhaps the most important of all, Viz., that' the success of this revolt would be a blow to tree constitutional govern ment The foundation on which our own liberties rest is that the minority must submit to the majority, and every attempt to bring about a revolution where there are no wrongs, and where perfect freedom of action prevails, is a virtual attack on law and order—on government and security of any kind all over the world. As long as the slave- holders could constitutionally predom- inate in Congress the Republicans of the North submitted, although aware that their measures were a reproach to the nation; hut as soon ns the hu-

I ter gained the elections the former re- belled. Just as well might the agricultural counties of England have re- volted on the repeal of the corn laws, and with much more show of right might the party in Ireland opposed to legislative.union with England have declared their independence when that measure v. as passed. It is quite tru«l| tjiat the Federal Government and people did not go to war to eman- cipate the slaves, and very questionable it is whether any nation is justified to go to war merely for the sake of humanity and to put down injus- tice. If that idea were acted upon enlightened countries would be engaged in perpetual crusades; but if a people are not to go to war to prevent the dismemberment of their country; if it be understood that a political minority are justified at any time to sever the connection—I should like to know how the machine of government could be got to work at all ? Disguise It as we please,'for'^easorfs best known to ourselves, that is the problem now being worked out on American soil; and for my part I tykve perfect confidence' in the ability of the statesmen and peqple of the North to bring rt to a most satisfactory solution. Besides* the extension of sjavery, and, the maintenance of the great principle that no political minority has a right to rebel when merely beaten at the poll, there are other important considerations which weigh with the American nation In refusing to listen to any overtures for peace involving disunion. For example, several of these very seceding States, such as Louisiana, Florida, and Tex- fW/wefe actually purchased by the money of the whale Federation, and

by any other Power; they cannot help being aware that one successful secession may lead to others, and they saw at once that if the South were' allowed to succeed, in this object, tbey must necessarily keep up an enormous standing army, and continually run the: risk of being dragged into desolating wars. And now, in drawing'these remarks to a cloSe, I invite your attention to_ th&, fyo prospects before us. One is the achievement of Southern independence, which in my humble opinion involves three things ; ihe definite extension of slavery, the re-open iog of the African slave trade, and the substitution of disorder nnd anarchy for free constitutional governmnnton the continent of North America. The second prospect is the successful suppression of this revolt on the basis of reunion and emancipation, involving, it may be, much further shedding of blood, a long guer- illa warfare, difficulties of no mean kind, arising from the vubjugarion and re-settlement of the Southern States,' the destruction of the plantation system, the substitution of free talipr for. slavery, and the entire remodelling of the whole social condition of the South—involving, it. may' be, much that one regrets, but still tar prefera- ble to the first prospect. It is there-' fore my humble view of the matter' that this daring revolt of the slave- owners should be put down now. I desire it in the inierpst of the black man, emancipated throughout the Uu- .»•« l»r lira Be|mUic»n |iullCJ, au> demned to perpetual bondage by the Confederate constitution—I desire it in the interest of my country, Which never could allow the re-opening of the African slave trade, or the indefi- nite extension of slave territory—L desire it in the interest of free constitutional, government, endangered by the assertion of the right on the part of the minority when beaten to rebel —I desire it in behalf of North Amer- ica, threatened by opposing systems, constant secessions, continual wars— I desire it because, looking to ihe future of other great-Federal republics now in process of formation by ns in Canada, in Australia, in New Zealand, and in South Africa, it is to be hoped that their eldest Sister will be able to vindicate her right and power to give effect to the opinion of a constitutional majority, and to prevent class interest asserting a sacred right of in- surrection, (Applause.)

THE BABY TOWfiBS OF CHINA.

Infanticide, so common in China, is thus vividly depicted, in all its hor- rors, by a" recent traveller. Burying an infant alive is a horrible thing; yet how common it is among the Ce- lestials.

The | Pagodas, so often mentioned in accounts of the Chinese Empire, appear to be more numerous in the mountain district.*, where they add greatly to the plctureifque charm of the scenery, and are believed to be connected with the religious ceremo- nies of the people. In the flat country, around 'Shanghai they are not 10 be met with—at least it was not our fortune to see any during our4brief stay. The only structure like a u>w- er, if we except the turrets on the city walls and watch-towers erected within the past few years, when the Tae Pings have threatened ihe city, is a tall, white, monurnent, rising to the night of twenty feet, and without inscription or distinguishing mark of any kind. It looks like a fine white tomb, higher and more ambitious than usual, and truly' it is a **whited sepul- chre !" Baby tower it is called by the foreign residents, fur it is filled by the bones of infants—not such as have djed a natural death, as Bayard Taylor asserts, but which have been thrust into this horrid monument of heathen cruelty when but a few hours old. Humanity shudders at the thought! These dazzling white baby towers, with their mockery of purity, their object known to all men, and openly inviting, as it were, the most unnatural and heartMss of murders, are among the most Hideous spectacles to be met

True, a river or a pond will be pointed out to you in other parts of < 'hina, or in It)-' dia, where babies are daily drowned'' like puppies or kittens);, but they .do not affect the mind with such horror' as these palpable structures, erected with the, best skill of their architects for this express purpose. The water Closes over the murdered infant, and' no trace of the crime remains; bat here is a tower—-a high tower—with' deep foundations, fiHed with the bones of murdered babes that have been ac- cumulating for generations.

No wonder that Christian mothers, resident in the east, cannot sneak of them or see them without a shudder, and never willingly pass them in their drives. Who knows but they might hear, if they approached the tower, the 'Wail of some poor infant just thrown in, or meet its father rtarning from his cruel errand T

At Shanghai the Baby Tower Stands on the sonlhwest side of ihe city, without the wall, but at Foo Chow, where the crime of infanticide is still mure prevalent, they Use no baby, tower, but have provided ponds for this express purpose, it is the saddest part of this great national crime of the Cliipese, that it Is sarict,ioned by the mandarins, and, viewed asu disagree- able necessity, not as a crime.

It has been the fashion of late years to deny the existence of this abomi-

i nation—the doubters, wise ih their I own conceit, insisting that the crime |is too great for human nature. ' Human nature, unfortunately, has proved but a fn*il barrier to crime of this character in all parts of the world, and the facts of Chinese infanticide, are indisputable. The witnesses are loo numerous, the Crime is too pnbHc, and the' evidence too notorious to deny its vxistence. The children destroyed are girls; the most common methods of destroying them are: 1st, by drowning in a tub of water; 2d, by throwing inlo some running stream ; 3d, by burying slive. The last flamed moda is' ttddjnid under the hope and with the superstitious belief that the n»«.t l>lrlti will be » boy. Th» oifeuoo

. is that it is too expensive to educate a girl, but if some friend will take the Child to bring up as a wife for a little boy, the parents wilt sell er give away the infant rather than destroy it The

LOST.—A young man, who: ardently desired wealth, was visiied by his Satanic majesty, who tempted him to,,promise bis soul for stereity jf ho could hpsunplied on this earth with all the money he could use. The bargain was concluded: the devil was'' to supply the, money, and was at last to have the soul, unless the young man could spend more money than the devil could fnrnish. Years passed away; the man married, was extravagant in bis living, built palaces, speculated widely,.lost and gave away fortune*, and yet his coders were always full.—He turned politician, and, bribed his way to power and fame, without' reducing his " pile " of gold. He .became a " fllli- buster," and fitted out ships and armies, but his hanker honored alt his drafts. He Went to St. Paul to live, and paid the usual rates of interest for all the money he could, borrow; but though the devil made' wry face* when he came to pay the bills, yet they were all paid. ■ One expedient after another tailed; the devil counted the time, only two years, that ha must wait for tho soul, »od mocked the efforts of the despairing.man. One more trial was resolved upon,—

regular price is two thousand copper etrfh, or J2, for every year of their lives; for sometimes a girl will be saved for a year or two, and then sold for a wife or slave. Many instances have come to the notice ef missiona- ries where large families of girls have been destroyed. There is one woman ClOW employed as a uurso in a missionary* family at Foo Chow, who says that her mother bad eight girls and three boys, and that she was the only girl permitted to live. We never heard of an instance of a boy's being destroyed at birth. There is a village about fifteen miles from Foo Chow, which is swarming with boys, but where girls are very scarce. The people account for it themselves by alleging the common practice of kill- ing the girls at birth—a practice which is indulged in by the rich as well as by the poor. ,t

There is no report of any great battles fought nor any determined stand made by the rebels anywhere'; but there are a plenty of prophecies of evil in stone, last ditches to be filled with chivalrous dead, and traps for catching Yan- kee armies.

No doubt that in the vicissitude! of war there are dangers threatening Gen. Sher- man, but we Hawk there ie ground TO Mm* that he will escape them.

NICIPAL TAXATION.—Bat aside from all the advantages we have enumerated, a spe- cs! Act of Congress exempts all bonds and Treasury notes from local taxation. On the average this exemption is worth about two per cent, per annum, according to the rate of taxation in various parts of the country:

■ IT ia A NATIONAL SAVINGS BANK.— While this loan presents great advantages to large capitalists, it oners special inducements to those who wish lo make a ufe and profitable investment of small savings. It is in every way the best Savings' Bank; for every institution of tbii kind must somehow invest its deposits profitably in order to pay interest and expenses. They will invest largely in this loan, u (be best investment But from the gross interest which they receive, they mutt deduct largely for the expense! of the B-tnk. The usual rale of interest allowed to depositors is 5 per cent, upon sums over $500. The person who in- vests directly with Government wilt receive almost 50 per cent more. Thi man who deposit! $1000 in a private Sav- ing's Bunk receive! SO dollars a year interest; if be deposits the same mm in this Na- tional Saving's Bank he receives 73 dollars. For those who wish to find a safe, convenient, and profitable means of investing (be surplus earning! which they have reserved for their old age or for the benefit of their children, there ia nothing which presents so many advantages as this National Loan.

TUB HiuutgT MOTIVE.—The war is evidently drawing to a close, but while it lasts the Treuury must have money to meet its cost, and every motive that patriotism can inspire should induce tbe people to supply its wants without delay. The Govern- ment can buy cheaper for cash in band than on credit. Let us see that its wants are promptly and liberally satisfied.

IMMENSE BUSINESS OF THE NEW YORK PO»T OFFICE.—For the past ten days an account hu been kept of the mail matter forwarded from (be New York Post Office on the principal railroad lines connecting with the city, and on some minor routes ; the packages were all weighed. The result showed that in the time mentioned four hundred and eighteen thousand seven hundred and forty-four pounds of matter went out of tbe office—an average of more than twenty tons a day. In one day, however, thirty tons were carried. In these figures there is no allowance for the European mails, or for tbe mails which go on steamers to our fleets, or to points on the coast, u Port Royal, Key Wast, New Orleans, etc. Tbe amount of this matter forwarded each week is estimated to be fifteen to twenty tons. The total amount ef matter which passes through the New York Port Office, and is handled by tbe clerks, is not far from forty-five tons daily.—New York Sun.

WHAT A TOAD DID FOB A SOLDIEE.

—A friend connected with the United States Sanitary Commission relates fur the American Agriculturist the following incident, which he witnessed, that exhibits Mr. and Mrs. Toad in a new character:

" A number of wounded from the battle of Petersburg were lying in a hospital tent, among whom was a negro whose leg had been taken off. He. was ou a mattrass on the ground, and tbe weather being hot, the dressed stump of his lef was exposed, and a

the f»w'Brnf> °f Hies were settling upon it. Presently a large toad hopped into the tent, and taking his station near the edge of the bed, began gobbling up the blue-bottles in double-quick: lie moment one alighted within six inches of the spot, he would square himself for the attack, his eye twink- ling with excitement, and then,' with a flash of his* tongue and a smack of his mouth, the unlucky insect would disappear The boy was asleep when this commenced, but soon awoke, and was at first frightened at the ' ugly toad' so near him; tiut our friend hade him be quiet, and pointed out the service the creature was rendering, when the negro and all present voted him a member of the Commis- sion, with many thanks, and his kindred were at once in high favor."

" Mother, can't I go and have my picture taken?"

" No, my child, I guess it isn't worth your while."

" Well, then, you might let me have a tooth pulled; I never go anywhere."

SPECIAL NOTICES.

FACTS ABOUT THE 7-S0S—THE AD- VANTAGES THKy OFFER. THEIR ABSO- LUTE SECURITY.—Nearly all active credits are now based on Government securities, and banks hold them u tbe very best and strongest investments they can make. If it were possible to contemplate the financial failure of the Government, no bank would be any safer. If money is loaned on individual notes or bond and mortgage, it will be payable in the same currency as the Government pays with and no batter. The Government never hu failed lo meet its engagements, and the national debt is a first mortgage u|ion the whole properly of the couutry. While other stocks fluctuate from ten to fifty, or even a greater per cent., Gov- ernment stocks are always comparatively firm. Their value is fixed and reliable, beyond all other securities; for while a thousand speculative bubbles rise and burst, u a rale they are never below par, and are often above.

ITS LIBERAL INTEREST.—The general rate of interest is six par cent., payable annually. This ia seven and three-tenths, payable semi-annuaUy. If you lend on mortgage, there must be a searching of titles, lawyers' fees, sump duties and delays, and yon will finally have returned lo you only the same kind ef money you would receive from the Government, and lest uf it. If you invest ia this lean, you have no trouble. Any bank or banker will obtain it for you without charge. To each not* or hood are affixed five " coupons * or interest tickets, due at the expiration of each successive half-year. The bolder of a note has simply to out off one of these coupons, preterit it to the nearest bank or Government Agency, and receive his interest; the note itself need not be presented at all. Or a coupon thus payable will everywhere be equivalent, when due, to money. If you wish to borrow ninety cents on the dollar upon the notes, you have the highest security in tha market to do it with. If yon wish to sell, It will bring within a fraction of cost and interest at any moment, It will ha vary handy to have in tba bouse.

At the expiration of three years a holder of the notes of the 7-80 Loan hu the option of accepting payment in full or of funding his notes in a six per cent, gold-interest bond, tbe principal payable in not leu than five, or more than twenty yean from its data, as the- Government may elect.

In the evening he brought from the garde* W* bcatnifUl Wsy-cheeked apples, pat them on a plate, and presented them to Kobert.

Just as he was putting them aside, his father laid on the plate a seventh apple, whioh was quite rotten, and desired him to allow it to remain there.

• "But, father," said Robert, "the rotten apple will spoil til the otheis."

•' Do you think so? Why should not the fresh apples rather make the rotten ones fresh?" said his father. And with these words he shot the diior of the room.

Eight days afterward he asked his sob to open the door and take out the apples. But what a sight presented itself! The six apples, which had been so sound and rosy-cheeked, were now quite rotten, and spread a bad smell through the room.

■ Oh, papa!" cried he, " did I not tell yon that the rotten apple would •potf the good opes ? yet yon did not
