Anil a gay little group to welcome papa, They stood by the old homestead gate, Mamma in the midst with the two year old pet,— In joyful expectance they wait. "He's coming!" they cry, with a gladsome huzza, And Sion flushed with joy he appears ; Ah! then there were greetings so tender and fond, And smiles intermingled with tears. A hero he looked in his soldier attiro, Though only a private forsooth; Yet never a heart 'neath an officer's garb Possessed more of courage and truth. Too swiftly the days of his furlough speed on; Stern duty recalls him to firms: Alas for the mother, her spirit is sore, Her heart filled with piercing alarms.

GRANGER & FINLEY, ATTORNEYS & COUNSELLORS AT Collecting and Land Agents VjiCuOXELLY's STOUK, HURON STREET, "• F. GRVXGER, ) Ann Arbor, Mich. JI H FINLEY, I Jau. 28, 18G4. 9-lltf The Baltimore correspondent of the N. Y. World, writing on the 18th, says: The following is a correct statement of the views and feelings of the rebel leaders, and the Southern people on the questions of peace and a -recon- struction of the Union. I am not at liberty to state how these facts reached me. I can only say that they are di- rect from Richmond, and that they are really - A-hat they purport to be—name- ly, the sentiments which will guide the action of the South. An armistice and a convention of all the States would be cheerfully accepted bv theSouth. But this is not because the South is exhausted, or because the Southern people are unable or unwill- ing to contest the war. On the con trury, the South is better prepared now, the Southern armies are stronger and more effective now, and the South- ern people are more united now in their determination to achieve their independence than ever before. r I he formal and unequivocal announcement of Mr. Lincoln, that it ia his purpose to continue the war, nut for the restora- tion of the Union, but for the abolition of slavery, has extinguished the last lingering hope that reunion was yet possible, and lias united ihe South as one man in opposition to what they consider the most unwarrantable ty- ranny. They have had quite enough of the horrors of war. In order to put a stop to these, they would gladly welcome an armistice, because they believe that before the armistice expires, some means would be iound to secure un honorable pi.ace. As regards the ter.T.s of peace, they are not unreasonable. Ail they would require would be, the rights "that are secured to them in the Constitution. I3ut they would require guarantees for those lights. They would require an express stipulation that the general government would never again interfere with the ^domestic institutions of any State; and that this stipulation should be made in the most solemn manner, ar.d should constitute a part of the or- ganic law. A convention of all the States could easily regulate this matter. If these terms are granted by the North, the South would rit onco lay down their arms; the Southern States would dissolve the confederacy; and each one of the Southern States would send their Senators and Representa- tives to Congress, as before the war. All other matters in dispute could be easily adjusted. But it is not believed at the South, that there will be either anarmistice or a speedy peace. They believe that an armistice would be particularly dis- tasteful to Mr. Lincoln and his party, because the latter would think that it might result in peace and reunion, which is just what Mr. Lincoln and his party do not want, as peace and reunion would be death to them ; and because, even if it did not result in peace, it would be of no advantage to the North, while it would be very advantageous to the South. And they believe that there is no prospect of peace whilo Mr. Lincoln remains in power, because they know that he ie fully determined on the subjugation of the South, aod the extermination of the Southern people, if slavery can bo abolished in no other manrjer. They do not believe that the North would consent to an express stip- ulation in the Constitution, that Con- gress or the general government shall never again interfere with the domestic institutions of any State; and unless they can have such a stipulation tbev will never lay down their arms. They believe, therefore, that the war will go on. And it is childish to con- ceal from ourselves the fact that they are abundantly prepared to carry it on, as the following circumstances will show : Their ; rmy, although not half as strong numerically as our own, is for- midable, and very effective. It consists of the following bodies ol troops : GENERAL LEE - S AKJ11'. Men. Nino divisions of infantry in the three corps of Lougslreet, A. P. Hill, and Ewell, the former now commanded by R. II. Anderson, and the latter by General Early 03,000 Artillery300 guns 6,600 Total effective Confederate force 275,001 The above figures are from the ven best and latest authorities. They rep- resent the present actual strength of the Confederate aimies, after deduct- ing all losses sustained in the recent and present campaigns. One of the first delusions that clouded the North- ern mind, and one which is not yet en- tirely dispelled, was that the South had all their fighting men in their armies, and that when thoso in the field should have been destroyed, they would not have the power to raise others. On the contrary, by carefully husbanding their strength ; bykeeping in the field armies of only moderate size ; by de- pending upon discipline and good gen- eralship, and not upon mere brute force; and by a proper system of recruiting, their armies have not only been kept full, but they have, and will havefor years to cojie, a sufficient population to keep on foot a fcrce equal to the above. In the organization of their armies, the rebel leaders have avoided the two grent faults that have been the hane of ours. There is no such a thing at the South as old regiments with thinned ranks, going home with their torn and tattered banners, just as the two hun- dred or three hundred men of which they arecomposed have become veter- ans, and worth a thousand or twelve hundred men. Nor are such old regi- ments merged and consolidated two or three together, so that the glorious memories that clus'er around the name and history of each one are lost and swallowed up. Every regiment, in either army, that has been in the ser- vice for two or three ye»rs, has wonfor itself a certain honorable distinction. If the proper means are taken to cher- ish and foster this regimental pride, the instances where old regiments would leave the army would be rare indeed. In the Southern army this is done, and the consequence is that the old regi irents always re-eniist, and never go home, except on brief furloughs The result of this system are that all the regiments in the Southern army may be said to be veteran regiments. Their ranks are always kept full by a con- staut-irifusion of fresh men, who speed ily acquire the duties and the habits of old soldiers. The South is no longer dependent upon foreign nations for their supplies of arms. Some shiploads of cannon and muskets continue to arrive at southern port?, although not so fre- quently as formerly. But there are now at Richmond, Charleston, Savan- nah, Wilmington, Atlanta, Macon, and at several other places, foundries, and gun manufactories, and arsenals, where cannon, muskets, swords, pistols, gun- powder, cannon-balls, shells,fixedam- munition, percussion caps, &c, are made as good as any we use, and in quantities sufficient to supply the wants of the southern armies for years to con.e. When the town of Kome, in Georgia, was captured by General Sherman, some months ago, the evi- dences of this fact were found in profu- sion, even in the little inland place, and pains were actually taken by the ad- ministration to suppress the facts at the time, because they afforded such stroDg and incontestible evidenco of Southern enterprise, ingenuity and skill. But this is not all. The fact of their being cut off from all intercourse with the European world, except by running the blockade, led tho Southern people to seek for the means of developing those natural resource* of their coun try which had hitherto lain dormant. Fortunately for thorn, their whole country may be said to rest upon a substratum of iron and coal, PO plenti- ful are those two articles. There is scarcely a ridge of mountains in the South, where tho presence of iron ore has not been discovered; while in Vir- ginia, Georgia, North Carolina, and Alabama, there are iuexhitustibie beds of coal. The coal mines in tho coun ties of Goochlane, Fluvanoa, Cumber- land, Buckingham, aud Campbell, and the iron mines in the counties of Nel- son, Amherst, Bedford, Montgomery, and Franklin, in Virginia, are now being worked to an extent tenfold as great as ever before, and with most re- munerative results. In North Carolina, particularly since tho withdrawal of the Union force.*, the development of the industrial and man- ufacturing resources of the State has received a wonderful impetus. Tur- pentine, rosin, and tar, are maitufac tured iu vast quantities, and large cargoes of these precious commodities are shipped to Europe, by way of Nassau aud Havana, every week. The blockade trade at Wilmington has been as lively.as ever before during the last Ihrco months. In Georgia, iiouth Carolina, and Ala'mma, manufactories have sprung up of ninny articles of domestic use, and are being vigorously curried on. At Richmond there are glass works, where not only window glass, but also tumblers and glass dishes are mad", of excellent quality. At Danville, in Vir- ginia, there is a stocking manufactory, where both cotton and woolen hose are made. At Rulaigh, in North Carolina, there isa mant.factory, ol knives and forks, which tunis out work equal to that formerly brought from Connecti- cut. There are manufactories where hats are made at eleven different towns in the three States named abire. There are twoplaces in South Carolina where ladies straw bonnets aro made. There are seven places in Georgia where cotton cards are manufactured, and yet the demand for them exceeds the supply. There is ix blanket manu- factory at Montgomery, in Alabama, one at Maccn, andone lit Savanuah, at all of which blankets of excellent qual- ity are made, both for tho army and for domestic use, There are muiiuf'ii.c- tories of glass-wnro and fine earthen ware—cups and saucers—at both Savannah and Columbus, in Georgia. There are manufactories ol fine copper ware, button mantifitctories, and even manufactories of pins and knitting- needles at a dozen places in the South, where, three years ago, such things wore not thought of. I need do no more than all tide to his point, as it has been sufficiently demonstrated by the events of thepast year. The sihy twaddle about starving :>ut tho South will probably never again be repeated. The above considerations are some :)f those which convince the Southern people of their ability to carry on the war. If northern people are likewise :onvinced of that fact by next Novem ber, it may lead to such action on their part as may result in an honorable Lieace. DRUID. LlSfCOlN AND FREMONT TO WITHDRAW. ftfeponse of Gen. Fremont. BOSTON, August 20. High Frices. For the matter of high prices, let iot be so much as named among us. S. far as the result of greed, it is to be de nounced and resisted. I sincerely hop that every man who has added one iot to his country's perplexity that h might fill his own pockets, willfindhi gains to be as rottenness in his bones But as one of the hardships of the war high prices are to be nothing accountc of. Suppose sugar is thirty cents . pound, molasses a dollar a gallon, bee sold by the square inch, cotton cloth oixty cents a yard, and gold at two hun dred aud eighty. How long has it beer since a man's life consisted in the abuo dance of sweets which he could,swallow If sugar is three times as high as it use< to be, use one third as much of it, and the equilibrium is at once restored Even at that you will probably have a; much as the soldiers have. If St. P;m would agree to eat no meat while the world standeth, lest he make his brothe to offend, cannot Christian men and women forego beefsteak for a year, oi two, or three, or twenty, that a nation perish not ? If cambric aud linen are expensive, are we all princes aud priu cesses that we must have twelve dozen >f everything the wardrobo through Full out the bureau drawers aud use their contents unflinchingly, regardless of the future, where tho honor of now is imperative. Dive into the old linings with scissors and needle, and "gar auld claes look amaist as well's the new." Ask for black buttons at the shops, and then see what an inexhaustible mine of black buttons your old boots at home are, and walk away without purchasing, at a clear gain of forty-two cents. Make your loaf cake of dried apples and mo- lasses, and affirm resolutely that uobody could tell the difference till people are silenced if not convinced 1 Economy can be made as interesting as a mathe- matical problem, and as merry as a July picnic. And having economised care- fully and successfully, consider that the pleasure and privilege of it are enough for your share, aud send themoney saved to the relief of wounded soldiers, or to the assistance of the freed people. It may be said that this does not take into account the really poor people ; but so far as I have observed, the fearful look- ing for is not among the really poor people. It is not they who are threat- ened with absolute waut, but they who fear a curtailment of luxuries, a diminu- tion of dividends, an increase of expendi- ture, whohave the most anxiety.— Gail Hamilton. A SUITOK TO HER MA.IKSTV.—The English papers contain the following odd s' ory : Letters from Abyssiuia, state that Theolore, Emperor of that country, has just crowned his imperial eccentricities by an act which exceeds thorn all in ex travagauce. Having learned of the widowhood of Queen Victoria, he has had a letter written to her, offering her his hand, Mr. Camerou, the English Consul, was charged to forward this missive to his sovereign. The reply to so unforeseen an offer not being immedi- ately forthcoming, the Emperor Theo- dore got angry, aud had Mr. Cameron put inchaius until liis Majesty should have obtained satisfaction for such want of attention toward him. On hearing of the imprisonment of Mr. Cameron, her Britannic Mojesty is said to have de- cided on replying by a polite refusal, the cuding of whiuh by post was more economic thau a special mission to Abys sinia. The daily consumption of water in New York city is 30,000,000 giillonn, while the Oroton River now furnishes only 27,000,000, so that economy iu witer hafc become necessary! General Fremont. Snt :—You must he aware of the wide and growing dissatisfaction in the Republican ranks, with the presidental nomination at Baltimore; and you may have seen notices of a movement, just commenced, to unite the thorough and earnest fi lends of a vigorous prosecution of the war iu a new convention which fcb.aU represent the patriotism of all parties. To facilitate that moVetnont it is em- phatically advisable that die candidates nominated at Cleveland and Baltimore, should withdraw aud leave the field en- tirely free for such a united effort. Per- mit us, sir, to ask whether, in case Mr Lincoln will withdraw, you will do so, and join your fellow-citizens in this at- tempt to place the administration on a basis broad as the patriotism of the country and as its needs, (Signed) GEOKOB L STEAKNS, S. R. URBWO, JAMES M. STONK, EUZCB WIUUHT, EDWAKD HABICII, SAMUEL G. HOWE, NAIIAXT, August 2i). GENTLEMEN :—I have to acknowledge the receipt of yo\;r letter - of tho 20th, addressed to me in New York. If your letter were iu effect an appeal only tomy own sentiments in favor of a reunion of parties, I shouid not hesitate to renounce any personal views, but would be entirely ready to defer to the public opinion which your names^ repre sent. But'the conditions are no longer the same as when I expressed my readiness to retire in the eveut of u contingency which might have occurred at Baltimore. Having now definitely accepted the Cleveland nom nation, I have not the right to act independently of the truly patriotic and earnest party who conferr- ed that honor upon :ne. In any event, it would bej necessary first to consult \vith them. It might, besides, have ouly the effect still further to unsettle the public mind, and defeat the object you have in view, if wo should disor- ganize before first proceeding to organ- ize something better. To this end I suggest that a direct effort be made to obtain an immediate understanding between the supporters of the Baltimore and Cleveland nomina- tions, in order that the friends of both may coalesce and unite upon an earl) day for holding such a convention as you propose. I amsatisfied that I do not assume too much in saying that my friends will unite heartily in such a movement. A really popular convention, upon a broad and liberal basis, so that it could be regarded as a convocation in mass of the people, and not the work of politi- cians, would command public confidence. Such a convention, acting in the large and liberal spirit iu which it was called, without considerations of persons or political cliques, and without reference to by-gone situations, rising to the level of the occasion, and taking the conditions of the country ns they present them- selves to day, could safely be trusted to propose such a policy and name such a man as should, and undoubtedly would; receive the cordi.il and uuited support of the patriotic musses of the people. To the great body of these, so far as my information allows me to form any opin- ion, I think that the following proposi- tions would be acceptable. 1. Respect for the practical liberty ind the constitutional rights aud dignity if the citizen. 2. The maintenance of the dignity of ,he United States in their relations to 'oreign powers. 3. The re establishment of the Uuion, iy peace if it is possible ; by war if the inployiiient of peaceful measures cannot >e made to Succeed. Much has been said of late about ieace, and youwill therefore excuse me f I say here what I understand by it. For mo, peace signifies the integral re- istablishinent of the Union, without ;lavery; because slavery is the source )f all our political dissensions, and be- :ause the insti; u'.ion itself is coi.demncd iy the enlightened and liberal spirit of he age. These are to pie the essential Mtiditions of peace. If it is pratrtieabf* o attain this result, it would not be p..v- ng too denrly for it—taking also into lonsideration the material strength Inch the South lias been permitted to .cquire by the conduct of ihe war—lo uake concessions upon some points of ec ndary importance, such as that of paying an indemnity for their slaves to thoso who have remained in a sort of neutral condition during the unhappy war which hart convulsed the country. To terminate thfs we are now expend ing life and money ; it would certainly be agaiu to reduce it simply to a ques- tion of money. If in spite of all these efforts to spare the South humiliation" or losses of capi- tal likely to be too severely frit the po litical chiefs who direct the South, persist iu war, then the policy of the con- vention should be to pronounce in that case for war with all the force and cuergy of the nation. For peace, upon any terms, and merely because it is peace—a peace recognizing n North and a South—would not bring about a sta ble equilibrium. It would only prepare the way for now struggles, and for a condition of disastrous anarchy. The paramount question is the Uuion. By peace, if it can be had on honorable and right terms—by war, if the political leaders who are directing the South in- sist upon war. The situation of our country is un questionably critical. It demands the devotion and the patriotism of all .men who really love their country, ant! it i one of those moments when all persona aspirations should vanish iu the face o the great questions of principle and na tional existence which are at stake. Thanking you, genilemeu, for the evi dence which your letter gives mo o. your confidence in my disposition to do everything in my power for the inter ests of the country, I am, very truly vonrs, 3. a FREMONT. "Good at Bargain." This was the praise which Mr. Hal lett oftenest bestowed on his eldest anc favorite son. When he first wore jack ets, Ned proved himself an adept in small trades, swapping off his worn-out and damaged toys for the better ones of his playmates. Before he was ten years old, ho had changed knives a h;tlf a dozen ti'nes or more, making a good bargain each time, until he was the owner of a double- bladed, pearl handled one, of tho best make, instead of the broken jack knife, bought with hi3 school dinner, with which he had begun his trading. Of course, some persons suffered loss for his gain, but this, heprofessed to think, was nothing to him. " Look out for number one," was his motto. If he had ever heard the command, " Tliou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," he paid no attentiou to it. His compassion was never moved by thepain aud regret of his victims, thoso whom he had duped ; and when they [treaded with him for redress, he coolly claimed that he had made a fair bargain, that they had eves aud ears, and could look out for themselves as well as he for himself. He tricked a poor little fellow out of a silver pencil case, which he had re- ceived for a birth day present, by fasci- nating him with a whistle of trifling value. When tho first charm of the whis- tle was gouo, and the tender birth-daj" re- membrances connected with the pencil had come back to his victimized child, he urged Ned to receive again his whis- tle, and restore him his pencil. He added inducements, but Ned was not to be moved. He had the best of the bar- gain and he kept it. In similar ways, he obtained a wealth of boys' treasures, to the admiration of his companions, and his own great de- light. But was he happy ? Surely not. Has God made the soul to be satisfied with knives, pencil-cases, balls aud tops? Can a boy be happy when he is full of selfishness, meanness, deception, and un- kindnoss ? He may laugh, he may sing, he may talk largely, ar.d walk proudly, but he must be wretched. " There is no peace, saith my GocC, to the wicked." Ned was once sent by his father to buy himself a pair of shoes. He was to buy such as ara usually sold for a dollar and a half. With his habitual acuteness, he obtained the promise that, in case he could buy them for less, be should have the surplus money. At the shoe store, he found such shoes as he wanted, and tried them on; but complained ttat they did not fit. He tried pair after pair, with the same complaint. At last he found some for which ho thought he could make a good bargain, since one of them had a defect in the leather in a place where neither strain nor wear could come. He tried them on, pro- nounced them a perfect fit, examined them, dwelt upon the flaw, condemned them, audflung them aside. He tried other shoes, but none of them suited him. The salesmau recom- mended several pairs ; but no—they pinched him, Ned said, he could not en- dure them. At last he pretended to be discouraged, and took up the defective pair, declaring them the only pair that fitted him, and expressing his deep re- gret that they were not perfect. The salesman examined them, and pro- nounced the defect unimportant. Ned re-examined, complained, and regretted again. The salesman growing weary, offered them at a reduced price. Ned offered a still lower price, tried the shoes again, threw them from him, and rose to leave the store. The salesman, unwilling to lose a cus- tomer, wrapped up the shoes, and handed them to him, saying, " There, take them at your own price." Ned took them, and left the store, greatly pleased with his cuuuing and its success, triumphant. He bad saved a quarter of a dollar for himself. He htid haggled, deceived, had btien moan, had been false, for & quarter of a dollar, and he was satisfied ! Are good behavior, manliness, justice, houetsty, worth no more ? What ? Will any one sell his truth, his honor, his good conscience, for money? Ned sold his for twenty flee cents, well pleased with the bargain. "What do you think of that?" he said to his father, as he boastfully ex- hibited his purchase, aud the siiver he had retained. and imprisonment. His father was an anxious listener at his trial, but no one could think that he had any satin- faction inthe sharpness then developed. When the shameful and dread sen- tence of guilt was pron lunced. he cov- ered his lace with his hands. He could not look upon the son whom he had encouraged in his first steps toward crime. It was a heart sickening scene when father and son first met in the narrow prison cell. Each looked at ihe other with reproach. Each blamed the other for the pain and shame he suffered " This is a bad bargain, Ned," said the old man weakly, " You've ruined us all." " Ruined you 1 Who ruiued me? ex- claimed the prisoner, in a tone that stung the old man to the heart. " /was ruined when you called me 'good at a bargnin," instead of dishonest; whenyou praised mytrickery, instead of punishing it. 'Good at a bargain,' when for knives and pencil cases, I must pay in prison walls, convict labor, and a felon's name ! Call you a man 'good at a bar- gain,' when he sells even his soul for a bauble ? for a piece of gold ?" Congre- gationaliit. Work and Wages in Eurffpe, The Secretary of the Board of Agri- culture, collected during a recent visit to Europe, some interesting particulars in regard to the wages of farm laborer's', and others in Engbiud, Ireland, and on the continent. Thirty-seven cents per day he reports as the highest sum paid, the laborer boarding himself. In most parts of Ireland, the farm laborer gets but twenty-five cents per day, and boards and lodges himself—afld at that rate he can not get work half the time. The "day's work," moreover, is from daylight till dark, no ten-hour system or act protecting the workman on the land. In Ghent, Belgium, the average price about a franc and a half, or about thirty cents a day, the workmen finding themselves. In the neighborhood of Bohn, on the Rhine, it is ten silver groschen, or about twenty-five cents per day. InViesbadeu it is from forty-two to forty-eight kreutzers per day for workmen on farms or on roads, or from thirty to thirty-five cents. At the farm of the Agricultural Institute, at Gurs- bery, uear Wiesbaden, the price paid is- thirty-six kreutzers per day, or twenty- four cents, the men in all cases, boarding .hemselves. fn and about Heidelberg, n the Grand Duehy of Baden, it varies from forty two to forty eight kreutzers. In and around Cassel, tho daily wages mount to fifteen silver-groschen r 9r thir- ty-seven cents. At tiic Agricultural College at Weihenstepan, tbe pay for female laborers in the field is twenty- four kreutzers, or about eighteen cents per day, finding themselves. This is-in harvest time, when the price is- t»g;lxef than at other seasons. These prices everywhere seemed small for hard, earnest labor, and I could not help thinking how glad our own farmers would be to give double, and,board their workmen at that. Now it is true that the price of living is not generally quite so high in the countries we have named is with us, vut the difference is nowber» so great as the price paid for labor. In fact, to live as well as our people of the same class do, the cost would be very nearly the same. The price of potatoes, for instance, in the neighborhood of Dublin, is .seveu pence a stone of four- teen pounds. This is a cent a pound, or $20 a ton The price of good butter throughout Irelaud is, on an average, a shilling a pound, so that a man has to work hard twelve or fourteen hours lo earn a pound of butfer. This is the price in town and country. The model iarrrs at Glasnevin got eighteen pence, or thirty->ix cents a pound in January of this year, 18(!4, aud the lowest price at any time a shilling or thirteen pence f that is twenty-four and tweuty-six cents. I made similar inquiries ns to tho price of common articles, as a moans of comparison, eveiywhere I went, and I know about how the ease stands, for I made a practice to record such items on the spot. Thoprice of fiour is about as high on the continent as with us, and I think the same quality of meafs about as high. " You always were good at a bargain, Ned," was bis father's complacent an- swer. '' I couldn't have done as well. These shoes are well worth a dollar and a half." Bu ho did net tell Ned that ho ouaht to have paid the full price for them;"he had never taught him that every man should have a fair equivalent for his property. On the contrary, ho had en- couraged him iutaking advantage of others, by praising his tricks in trade, commending him as "good at a bargain." Grown to manhood, Ned Hallett still jultivated and practised this, and fora time with mcuess. But he became known, and people were suspicious aud watchful, aui gave him few opportuni- ties to make his good bargains, At last, his skill and cunning were employed in an insurance fraud, which was d scovered, and led to his conviction THE UNIO\ 1'IUPOXKUS I\ TIIK CO.-.

HOME ON A FURLOUGH.

"Papa's coming home on a furlough, hurrah!Mamma says he'll l>e here to-night; [rah!"

Three cheers and a tiger we'll give him, lmr-Ci'ietl Willie, in boyish delight.

Anil a gay little group to welcome papa,They stood by the old homestead gate,

Mamma in the midst with the two year oldpet,—

In joyful expectance they wait.

"He's coming!" they cry, with a gladsomehuzza,

And Sion flushed with joy he appears ;Ah! then there were greetings so tender and

fond,And smiles intermingled with tears.

A hero he looked in his soldier attiro,Though only a private forsooth;

Yet never a heart 'neath an officer's garbPossessed more of courage and truth.

Too swiftly the days of his furlough speed on;Stern duty recalls him to firms:

Alas for the mother, her spirit is sore,Her heart filled with piercing alarms.

The Baltimore correspondent of theN. Y. World, writing on the 18th, says:

The following is a correct statementof the views and feelings of the rebelleaders, and the Southern people onthe questions of peace and a -recon-struction of the Union. I am not atliberty to state how these facts reachedme. I can only say that they are di-rect from Richmond, and that they arereally -A-hat they purport to be—name-ly, the sentiments which will guide theaction of the South.

An armistice and a convention of allthe States would be cheerfully acceptedbv the South. But this is not becausethe South is exhausted, or because theSouthern people are unable or unwill-ing to contest the war. On the contrury, the South is better preparednow, the Southern armies are strongerand more effective now, and the South-ern people are more united now intheir determination to achieve theirindependence than ever before. rI heformal and unequivocal announcementof Mr. Lincoln, that it ia his purpose tocontinue the war, nut for the restora-tion of the Union, but for the abolitionof slavery, has extinguished the lastlingering hope that reunion was yetpossible, and lias united ihe South asone man in opposition to what theyconsider the most unwarrantable ty-ranny. They have had quite enoughof the horrors of war. In order to puta stop to these, they would gladlywelcome an armistice, because theybelieve that before the armistice expires,some means would be iound to secureun honorable pi.ace.

As regards the ter.T.s of peace, theyare not unreasonable. Ail they wouldrequire would be, the rights "that aresecured to them in the Constitution.I3ut they would require guarantees forthose lights. They would require anexpress stipulation that the generalgovernment would never again interferewith the domestic institutions of anyState; and that this stipulation shouldbe made in the most solemn manner,ar.d should constitute a part of the or-ganic law. A convention of all theStates could easily regulate this matter.

If these terms are granted by theNorth, the South would rit onco laydown their arms; the Southern Stateswould dissolve the confederacy; andeach one of the Southern States wouldsend their Senators and Representa-tives to Congress, as before the war.All other matters in dispute could beeasily adjusted.

But it is not believed at the South,that there will be either an armistice ora speedy peace. They believe that anarmistice would be particularly dis-tasteful to Mr. Lincoln and his party,because the latter would think that itmight result in peace and reunion,which is just what Mr. Lincoln and hisparty do not want, as peace and reunionwould be death to them ; and because,even if it did not result in peace, itwould be of no advantage to the North,while it would be very advantageousto the South. And they believe thatthere is no prospect of peace whilo Mr.Lincoln remains in power, because theyknow that he ie fully determined onthe subjugation of the South, aod theextermination of the Southern people,if slavery can bo abolished in no othermanrjer. They do not believe that theNorth would consent to an express stip-ulation in the Constitution, that Con-gress or the general government shallnever again interfere with the domesticinstitutions of any State; and unlessthey can have such a stipulation tbevwill never lay down their arms.

They believe, therefore, that the warwill go on. And it is childish to con-ceal from ourselves the fact that theyare abundantly prepared to carry it on,as the following circumstances willshow :

Their ; rmy, although not half asstrong numerically as our own, is for-midable, and very effective. I t consistsof the following bodies ol troops :

GENERAL LEE-S AKJ11'. Men.Nino divisions of infantry in the three

corps of Lougslreet, A. P. Hill, andEwell, the former now commandedby R. II. Anderson, and the latterby General Early 03,000

Artillery • 300 guns 6,600

Total effective Confederate force 275,001

The above figures are from the venbest and latest authorities. They rep-resent the present actual strength ofthe Confederate aimies, after deduct-ing all losses sustained in the recentand present campaigns. One of thefirst delusions that clouded the North-ern mind, and one which is not yet en-tirely dispelled, was that the South hadall their fighting men in their armies,and that when thoso in the field shouldhave been destroyed, they would nothave the power to raise others. Onthe contrary, by carefully husbandingtheir strength ; by keeping in the fieldarmies of only moderate size ; by de-pending upon discipline and good gen-eralship, and not upon mere brute force;and by a proper system of recruiting,their armies have not only been keptfull, but they have, and will have foryears to cojie, a sufficient populationto keep on foot a fcrce equal to theabove.

In the organization of their armies,the rebel leaders have avoided the twogrent faults that have been the hane ofours. There is no such a thing at theSouth as old regiments with thinnedranks, going home with their torn andtattered banners, just as the two hun-dred or three hundred men of whichthey are composed have become veter-ans, and worth a thousand or twelvehundred men. Nor are such old regi-ments merged and consolidated two orthree together, so that the gloriousmemories that clus'er around the nameand history of each one are lost andswallowed up. Every regiment, ineither army, that has been in the ser-vice for two or three ye»rs, has won foritself a certain honorable distinction.If the proper means are taken to cher-ish and foster this regimental pride, theinstances where old regiments wouldleave the army would be rare indeed.In the Southern army this is done, andthe consequence is that the old regiirents always re-eniist, and never gohome, except on brief furloughs Theresult of this system are that all theregiments in the Southern army maybe said to be veteran regiments. Theirranks are always kept full by a con-staut-irifusion of fresh men, who speedily acquire the duties and the habits ofold soldiers.

The South is no longer dependentupon foreign nations for their suppliesof arms. Some shiploads of cannonand muskets continue to arrive atsouthern port?, although not so fre-quently as formerly. But there arenow at Richmond, Charleston, Savan-nah, Wilmington, Atlanta, Macon, andat several other places, foundries, andgun manufactories, and arsenals, wherecannon, muskets, swords, pistols, gun-powder, cannon-balls, shells, fixed am-munition, percussion caps, &c, aremade as good as any we use, and inquantities sufficient to supply the wantsof the southern armies for years tocon.e. When the town of Kome, inGeorgia, was captured by GeneralSherman, some months ago, the evi-dences of this fact were found in profu-sion, even in the little inland place, andpains were actually taken by the ad-ministration to suppress the facts atthe time, because they afforded suchstroDg and incontestible evidenco ofSouthern enterprise, ingenuity andskill.

But this is not all. The fact of theirbeing cut off from all intercourse withthe European world, except by runningthe blockade, led tho Southern peopleto seek for the means of developingthose natural resource* of their country which had hitherto lain dormant.Fortunately for thorn, their wholecountry may be said to rest upon asubstratum of iron and coal, PO plenti-ful are those two articles. There isscarcely a ridge of mountains in theSouth, where tho presence of iron orehas not been discovered; while in Vir-ginia, Georgia, North Carolina, andAlabama, there are iuexhitustibie bedsof coal. The coal mines in tho counties of Goochlane, Fluvanoa, Cumber-land, Buckingham, aud Campbell, andthe iron mines in the counties of Nel-son, Amherst, Bedford, Montgomery,and Franklin, in Virginia, are nowbeing worked to an extent tenfold asgreat as ever before, and with most re-munerative results.

In North Carolina, particularly sincetho withdrawal of the Union force.*, thedevelopment of the industrial and man-ufacturing resources of the State hasreceived a wonderful impetus. Tur-pentine, rosin, and tar, are maitufactured iu vast quantities, and largecargoes of these precious commoditiesare shipped to Europe, by way ofNassau aud Havana, every week. Theblockade trade at Wilmington hasbeen as lively.as ever before during thelast Ihrco months.

In Georgia, iiouth Carolina, andAla'mma, manufactories have sprungup of ninny articles of domestic use,and are being vigorously curried on.At Richmond there are glass works,where not only window glass, but alsotumblers and glass dishes are mad", ofexcellent quality. At Danville, in Vir-ginia, there is a stocking manufactory,where both cotton and woolen hose aremade. At Rulaigh, in North Carolina,there is a mant.factory, ol knives andforks, which tunis out work equal tothat formerly brought from Connecti-cut. There are manufactories wherehats are made at eleven different townsin the three States named abire.There are two places in South Carolinawhere ladies straw bonnets aro made.There are seven places in Georgiawhere cotton cards are manufactured,and yet the demand for them exceedsthe supply. There is ix blanket manu-factory at Montgomery, in Alabama,one at Maccn, and one lit Savanuah, atall of which blankets of excellent qual-ity are made, both for tho army andfor domestic use, There are muiiuf'ii.c-tories of glass-wnro and fine earthenware—cups and saucers—at bothSavannah and Columbus, in Georgia.There are manufactories ol fine copperware, button mantifitctories, and evenmanufactories of pins and knitting-needles at a dozen places in the South,where, three years ago, such thingswore not thought of.

I need do no more than all tide tohis point, as it has been sufficiently

demonstrated by the events of the pastyear. The sihy twaddle about starving:>ut tho South will probably neveragain be repeated.

The above considerations are some:)f those which convince the Southernpeople of their ability to carry on thewar. If northern people are likewise:onvinced of that fact by next November, it may lead to such action on theirpart as may result in an honorableLieace. DRUID.

BOSTON, August 20.

High Frices.For the matter of high prices, let

iot be so much as named among us. S.far as the result of greed, it is to be denounced and resisted. I sincerely hopthat every man who has added one iotto his country's perplexity that hmight fill his own pockets, will find higains to be as rottenness in his bonesBut as one of the hardships of the warhigh prices are to be nothing accountcof. Suppose sugar is thirty cents .pound, molasses a dollar a gallon, beesold by the square inch, cotton clothoixty cents a yard, and gold at two hundred aud eighty. How long has it beersince a man's life consisted in the abuodance of sweets which he could,swallowIf sugar is three times as high as it use<to be, use one third as much of it, andthe equilibrium is at once restoredEven at that you will probably have a;much as the soldiers have. If St. P;mwould agree to eat no meat while theworld standeth, lest he make his brotheto offend, cannot Christian men andwomen forego beefsteak for a year, oitwo, or three, or twenty, that a nationperish not ?

A SUITOK TO HER MA.IKSTV.—TheEnglish papers contain the following odds' ory :

Letters from Abyssiuia, state thatTheolore, Emperor of that country, hasjust crowned his imperial eccentricitiesby an act which exceeds thorn all in extravagauce. Having learned of thewidowhood of Queen Victoria, he hashad a letter written to her, offering herhis hand, Mr. Camerou, the EnglishConsul, was charged to forward thismissive to his sovereign. The reply toso unforeseen an offer not being immedi-ately forthcoming, the Emperor Theo-dore got angry, aud had Mr. Cameronput in chaius until liis Majesty shouldhave obtained satisfaction for such wantof attention toward him. On hearingof the imprisonment of Mr. Cameron,her Britannic Mojesty is said to have de-cided on replying by a polite refusal, thecuding of whiuh by post was more

economic thau a special mission to Abyssinia.

The daily consumption of water inNew York city is 30,000,000 giillonn,while the Oroton River now furnishesonly 27,000,000, so that economy iuwiter hafc become necessary!

Snt :—You must he aware of thewide and growing dissatisfaction in theRepublican ranks, with the presidentalnomination at Baltimore; and you mayhave seen notices of a movement, justcommenced, to unite the thorough andearnest fi lends of a vigorous prosecutionof the war iu a new convention whichfcb.aU represent the patriotism of allparties.

To facilitate that moVetnont it is em-phatically advisable that die candidatesnominated at Cleveland and Baltimore,should withdraw aud leave the field en-tirely free for such a united effort. Per-mit us, sir, to ask whether, in case MrLincoln will withdraw, you will do so,and join your fellow-citizens in this at-tempt to place the administration on abasis broad as the patriotism of thecountry and as its needs,

(Signed) GEOKOB L STEAKNS,S. R. URBWO,JAMES M. STONK,E U Z C B WIUUHT,EDWAKD HABICII,SAMUEL G. HOWE,NAIIAXT, August 2i).

GENTLEMEN :—I have to acknowledgethe receipt of yo\;r letter -of tho 20th,addressed to me in New York.

If your letter were iu effect an appealonly to my own sentiments in favor of areunion of parties, I shouid not hesitateto renounce any personal views, butwould be entirely ready to defer to thepublic opinion which your names^ represent.

But ' the conditions are no longer thesame as when I expressed my readinessto retire in the eveut of u contingencywhich might have occurred at Baltimore.Having now definitely accepted theCleveland nom nation, I have not theright to act independently of the trulypatriotic and earnest party who conferr-ed that honor upon :ne. In any event,it would bej necessary first to consult\vith them. I t might, besides, haveouly the effect still further to unsettlethe public mind, and defeat the objectyou have in view, if wo should disor-ganize before first proceeding to organ-ize something better.

To this end I suggest that a directeffort be made to obtain an immediateunderstanding between the supporters ofthe Baltimore and Cleveland nomina-tions, in order that the friends of bothmay coalesce and unite upon an earl)day for holding such a convention as youpropose. I am satisfied that I do notassume too much in saying that myfriends will unite heartily in such amovement.

A really popular convention, upon abroad and liberal basis, so that it couldbe regarded as a convocation in mass ofthe people, and not the work of politi-cians, would command public confidence.Such a convention, acting in the largeand liberal spirit iu which it was called,without considerations of persons orpolitical cliques, and without reference toby-gone situations, rising to the level ofthe occasion, and taking the conditionsof the country ns they present them-selves to day, could safely be trusted topropose such a policy and name such aman as should, and undoubtedly would;receive the cordi.il and uuited supportof the patriotic musses of the people.To the great body of these, so far as myinformation allows me to form any opin-ion, I think that the following proposi-tions would be acceptable.

1. Respect for the practical libertyind the constitutional rights aud dignityif the citizen.

2. The maintenance of the dignity of,he United States in their relations to'oreign powers.

3. The re establishment of the Uuion,iy peace if it is possible ; by war if theinployiiient of peaceful measures cannot>e made to Succeed.

Much has been said of late aboutieace, and you will therefore excuse mef I say here what I understand by it.For mo, peace signifies the integral re-istablishinent of the Union, without;lavery; because slavery is the source)f all our political dissensions, and be-:ause the insti; u'.ion itself is coi.demncdiy the enlightened and liberal spirit ofhe age. These are to pie the essentialMtiditions of peace. If it is pratrtieabf*o attain this result, it would not be p..v-ng too denrly for it—taking also intolonsideration the material strengthInch the South lias been permitted to

.cquire by the conduct of ihe war—louake concessions upon some points ofec ndary importance, such as that of

paying an indemnity for their slaves tothoso who have remained in a sort ofneutral condition during the unhappywar which hart convulsed the country.To terminate thfs we are now expending life and money ; it would certainlybe agaiu to reduce it simply to a ques-tion of money.

If in spite of all these efforts to sparethe South humiliation" or losses of capi-tal likely to be too severely frit the political chiefs who direct the South,persist iu war, then the policy of the con-vention should be to pronounce in thatcase for war with all the force andcuergy of the nation. For peace, uponany terms, and merely because it ispeace—a peace recognizing n North anda South—would not bring about a stable equilibrium. I t would only preparethe way for now struggles, and for acondition of disastrous anarchy.

The paramount question is the Uuion.By peace, if it can be had on honorableand right terms—by war, if the politicalleaders who are directing the South in-sist upon war.

The situation of our country is unquestionably critical. I t demands thedevotion and the patriotism of all .menwho really love their country, ant! it ione of those moments when all personaaspirations should vanish iu the face othe great questions of principle and national existence which are at stake.

Thanking you, genilemeu, for the evidence which your letter gives mo o.your confidence in my disposition to doeverything in my power for the interests of the country,

I am, very truly vonrs,3. a FREMONT.

"Good at Bargain."This was the praise which Mr. Hal

lett oftenest bestowed on his eldest ancfavorite son. When he first wore jackets, Ned proved himself an adept insmall trades, swapping off his worn-outand damaged toys for the better ones ofhis playmates.

Before he was ten years old, ho hadchanged knives a h;tlf a dozen ti'nes ormore, making a good bargain each time,until he was the owner of a double-bladed, pearl handled one, of tho bestmake, instead of the broken jack knife,bought with hi3 school dinner, withwhich he had begun his trading.

Of course, some persons suffered lossfor his gain, but this, he professed tothink, was nothing to him. " Look outfor number one," was his motto. If hehad ever heard the command, " Tlioushalt love thy neighbor as thyself," hepaid no attentiou to it. His compassionwas never moved by the pain aud regretof his victims, thoso whom he hadduped ; and when they [treaded with himfor redress, he coolly claimed that hehad made a fair bargain, that they hadeves aud ears, and could look out forthemselves as well as he for himself.

He tricked a poor little fellow out ofa silver pencil case, which he had re-ceived for a birth day present, by fasci-nating him with a whistle of triflingvalue. When tho first charm of the whis-tle was gouo, and the tender birth-daj" re-membrances connected with the pencilhad come back to his victimized child,he urged Ned to receive again his whis-tle, and restore him his pencil. Headded inducements, but Ned was not tobe moved. He had the best of the bar-gain and he kept it.

In similar ways, he obtained a wealthof boys' treasures, to the admiration ofhis companions, and his own great de-light. But was he happy ? Surely not.Has God made the soul to be satisfiedwith knives, pencil-cases, balls aud tops?Can a boy be happy when he is full ofselfishness, meanness, deception, and un-kindnoss ? He may laugh, he may sing,he may talk largely, ar.d walk proudly,but he must be wretched. " There isno peace, saith my GocC, to the wicked."

Ned was once sent by his father tobuy himself a pair of shoes. He was tobuy such as ara usually sold for a dollarand a half. With his habitual acuteness,he obtained the promise that, in case hecould buy them for less, be should havethe surplus money. At the shoe store,he found such shoes as he wanted, andtried them on ; but complained ttat theydid not fit. He tried pair after pair,with the same complaint. At last hefound some for which ho thought hecould make a good bargain, since one ofthem had a defect in the leather in aplace where neither strain nor wearcould come. He tried them on, pro-nounced them a perfect fit, examinedthem, dwelt upon the flaw, condemnedthem, aud flung them aside.

He tried other shoes, but none ofthem suited him. The salesmau recom-mended several pairs ; but no—theypinched him, Ned said, he could not en-dure them. At last he pretended to bediscouraged, and took up the defectivepair, declaring them the only pair thatfitted him, and expressing his deep re-gret that they were not perfect. Thesalesman examined them, and pro-nounced the defect unimportant. Nedre-examined, complained, and regrettedagain. The salesman growing weary,offered them at a reduced price. Nedoffered a still lower price, tried the shoesagain, threw them from him, and rose toleave the store.

The salesman, unwilling to lose a cus-tomer, wrapped up the shoes, andhanded them to him, saying, " There,take them at your own price."

Ned took them, and left the store,greatly pleased with his cuuuing and itssuccess, triumphant. He bad saved aquarter of a dollar for himself. He htidhaggled, deceived, had btien moan, hadbeen false, for & quarter of a dollar, andhe was satisfied ! Are good behavior,manliness, justice, houetsty, worth nomore ? What ? Will any one sell histruth, his honor, his good conscience, formoney? Ned sold his for twenty fleecents, well pleased with the bargain.

"Wha t do you think of that?" hesaid to his father, as he boastfully ex-hibited his purchase, aud the siiver hehad retained.

and imprisonment. His father was ananxious listener at his trial, but noone could think that he had any satin-faction in the sharpness then developed.

When the shameful and dread sen-tence of guilt was pron lunced. he cov-ered his lace with his hands. He couldnot look upon the son whom he hadencouraged in his first steps towardcrime.

It was a heart sickening scene whenfather and son first met in the narrowprison cell. Each looked at ihe otherwith reproach. Each blamed the otherfor the pain and shame he suffered

" This is a bad bargain, Ned," saidthe old man weakly, " You've ruinedus all."

" Ruined you 1 Who ruiued me? ex-claimed the prisoner, in a tone thatstung the old man to the heart. " / w a sruined when you called me 'good at abargnin," instead of dishonest; when youpraised my trickery, instead of punishingit. 'Good at a bargain,' when forknives and pencil cases, I must pay inprison walls, convict labor, and a felon'sname ! Call you a man 'good at a bar-gain,' when he sells even his soul for abauble ? for a piece of gold ?" — Congre-gationaliit.

Work and Wages in Eurffpe,The Secretary of the Board of Agri-

culture, collected during a recent visitto Europe, some interesting particularsin regard to the wages of farm laborer's',and others in Engbiud, Ireland, and onthe continent. Thirty-seven cents perday he reports as the highest sum paid,the laborer boarding himself. In mostparts of Ireland, the farm laborer getsbut twenty-five cents per day, andboards and lodges himself—afld at thatrate he can not get work half the time.The "day's work," moreover, is fromdaylight till dark, no ten-hour system oract protecting the workman on the land.

In Ghent, Belgium, the average priceabout a franc and a half, or about

thirty cents a day, the workmen findingthemselves. In the neighborhood ofBohn, on the Rhine, it is ten silvergroschen, or about twenty-five cents perday. In Viesbadeu it is from forty-twoto forty-eight kreutzers per day forworkmen on farms or on roads, or fromthirty to thirty-five cents. At the farmof the Agricultural Institute, at Gurs-bery, uear Wiesbaden, the price paid is-thirty-six kreutzers per day, or twenty-four cents, the men in all cases, boarding.hemselves. fn and about Heidelberg,n the Grand Duehy of Baden, it variesfrom forty two to forty eight kreutzers.In and around Cassel, tho daily wagesmount to fifteen silver-groschenr9r thir-ty-seven cents. At tiic AgriculturalCollege at Weihenstepan, tbe pay forfemale laborers in the field is twenty-four kreutzers, or about eighteen centsper day, finding themselves. This is-inharvest time, when the price is- t»g;lxefthan at other seasons.

These prices everywhere seemed smallfor hard, earnest labor, and I could nothelp thinking how glad our own farmerswould be to give double, and,board theirworkmen at that. Now it is true thatthe price of living is not generally quiteso high in the countries we have namedis with us, vut the difference is nowber»so great as the price paid for labor. Infact, to live as well as our people of thesame class do, the cost would be verynearly the same. The price of potatoes,for instance, in the neighborhood ofDublin, is .seveu pence a stone of four-teen pounds. This is a cent a pound, or$20 a ton The price of good butterthroughout Irelaud is, on an average,a shilling a pound, so that a man has towork hard twelve or fourteen hours loearn a pound of butfer. This is theprice in town and country. The modeliarrrs at Glasnevin got eighteen pence,or thirty->ix cents a pound in Januaryof this year, 18(!4, aud the lowest priceat any time a shilling or thirteen pencefthat is twenty-four and tweuty-six cents.

I made similar inquiries ns to thoprice of common articles, as a moans ofcomparison, eveiywhere I went, and Iknow about how the ease stands, for Imade a practice to record such items onthe spot. Tho price of fiour is about ashigh on the continent as with us, and Ithink the same quality of meafs about ashigh.

" You always were good at a bargain,Ned," was bis father's complacent an-swer. ' ' I couldn't have done as well.These shoes are well worth a dollar anda half."

Bu ho did net tell Ned that ho ouahtto have paid the full price for them;"hehad never taught him that every manshould have a fair equivalent for hisproperty. On the contrary, ho had en-couraged him iu taking advantage ofothers, by praising his tricks in trade,commending him as "good at a bargain."

Grown to manhood, Ned Hallett stilljultivated and practised this, and fora

time with mcuess. But he becameknown, and people were suspicious audwatchful, aui gave him few opportuni-ties to make his good bargains,

A t last, his skill and cunning wereemployed in an insurance fraud, whichwas d scovered, and led to his conviction

Poor RioWd's Seasons for buying-United States Securities. •s

Tho other day wo heard a rich n«igh-bnr say ho lisid ralher have railroadstocks than the U. 8, stocks, lor I buypaid higher iniere'st. Just then 1'oorRichard came up, and said that ho hadjust bought- sonic of Uncle Sam's three3'ears' notes, paying feven aod threc-tenths por eeul. rijtSrest. My rich tricedix«laimed, "You ! I thought you hadTio money to buy with." " Yis," saidRichard, ' 'I had a little laid up againsta wet day, ai d I have kept n little ofmy earnings by me." Now Pool' llich-ard is kiiown lo all the eountiy round,to be a very prudent and iuduslriou-",ard withal, wise man : for llichardnever le:ri;cd aiiythirg he didn't knowliow to ii!:'l:c use of, and his wisdom andprudei co bad become a proverb. So,VIIKII lie '.oik out h's sav:r:^ and bought

tho notes, more than one was surprised,and it was no wonder rich Air. Smithasked why. So Poor Iticliai4, in avery quiet humble way—for ho neverassumed anything—replied, '.'I suppose,Mr. Smith, you know a great deal bel-ter than I do what to do with money,nnd how to invest; for I never hadmuch, and all I got I had to work hardfor. But I have looked around a gooddeal upon my neighbors, and seen whatthey did with their money aud I willtell you some things I ?aw, and what Ithought of it. One very rich man wasalways dealing in money, and ho madea grcut ckal, but was never satisfiedwithout high interest. So he retft uostof his money to eonio people who hethought were very rich, at a very highrate, and he often told how much hogot, till one day the people he lent towent to smash. He got back about toncents on a dollar of his money. I kno'.vanother old gentleman, who hat} somebrink stock, and he went to the bankaud got ten per cent, dividend. ThePresident and everybody.'j^d it wos thebest stock in the country—paid ten percent. But what did ihe old man do butsell his stock the next day ! Why '(why? said everybody. Because, it paystoo much dividend. And in six mouthsthe bank went to smash. Now, ihat Iknow to be a fact. Well, Mr. «3uii.h,you say railroad s'ocks arc b st, becausethey pay high divideuda ? Can you tellliow long they will pay them ? I likerailroads, I helped to build one, and Igo in for useful things. But I tell youwhat I know about thorn. Ouc-third ofthe railroads don't pay ar.y dividend, andtwo thirds, (and fccme of them crackedup, too) do noc pay as much as Govern-ment stocks. Now that brings me tothe Government securities, and .1 will,tell you why I prefer them. I take ityou will admit, Mr. Smith, that iu tbelong run the investment which is bestshould have theso qualities : First, itshould be perfectly secure ; secoudly, thatthe income should be uniform and perma-nent—noi- up one year and down thenext; and thirdly, that it should bemarketable, so when your wet chy comes,and you want your money, you can getit back. And I think these notes orbonds have got these qualities morethan any other kind of personal propertyyou can name. Try it

"First , then, I have been looking intothat great book you call tho CensusStatistics. I used to think it wasn'tworth much ; but since I began to studyit, I toil you, I found out a good manythings very useful for me to know. Ifouud out, by looking at the crops, andthe factories and shipping, &c , thnt we(I don't mean the Rebel States) are making a thousand millions ol dollars ayear more than wo spend. So you seetfa*t (since the increase of debt isn't halfthat) we are growing rich instead of.poorer, as John Bull and the croakerswould have us think. Then the debtwill be paid, anyhow, no matter howlong the war is. Besides, did you everhear of a Government that broke beforethe people did ? Look into your bighistories, Mr. Smith, aud you will findthe people break bjforc tho Govern-monts. Well, then, I call that stockperfectly secure.

"Secondly, you want tho income uni-form and permanent. Well, I want youto take up a list of banks, railroads,mines, insurance tompanies—anythingyou choose—and tell me (honor bright,now!) bow many have paid a uniformincome for ten or twenty years Notone in a handred, Mr. -Smkh. and youknow it.

"Now hero is the Government willpay you without varying a tittle. Now Ilike something that gives 1113 my incomeerory year.

* Thirdly, yoa want something whichis marketable any day in the year. Now,if you ask any bank President, he willtell you that Government stocks are theonly kind of property that is always sale-nife, because they will sell anywhere inthe world.

At 12 o'clock, noon, to day, the Na-tional Democratic Convention wascalled to order by Hon. A. Eelmont,Chairman of the National DemocraticCommittee, who spoke ,ns follows :

From this balance an unfilled woodcontract is yet to bo settled, whieh willleave nothing in the hands of Ihe Treas-urer except to the credit of a specialfund as hereafter stated.

Tlie last annual report showed a bnl-ance'in the Treasurer's bunds of $788 05,an excess of $157 80 over what it is nowstated at. This discrepancy occurredfrom the making up of the last annualreport from tho Secretary's order book,in his absence, and without co'nparingit, ns is usual, with the cash book ofthe Treasury. No orders, amciurtiugto $157 80, had been regularly audproperly drawn and paid, but by mistakehad not been entered in their order bythe Secretary, thus reducing the balanceas above stated.

The appropriation of $3,000, made topurchase a site for a school house in the3rd ward, and commence the buildingof a school house, has not been expendedfor that purpose. After considerable iu-vestigation, reflection, and discussion, -

the Board resolved to purchase lots 6 e r n m e n t has there- been an assemblage,and 8, block 2, Felch's addition, a loca-1

tion satisfactory to the ward, but theowners declined to sell tha same. TheBoard then instructed the President totake the legal measures necessary toprocure a title under the laws ; but onconsulting au attorney, he was advisedthat tho annual meeting not having at-tempted to locate, the Board lad notthe nuthority necessary to procure atitle by order of the court. This fact,together with the large and unexpectedincrease in tbe price of building mater-ial and labor, induced the Board to re-fer-the matter to the annual meeting,and make every effort, in the Meantime,for the best possible accommodation ofthe schools in tbo present buildings.

Of the 8->,000 raised for the above-purpose, tho sum of $3,200 has beentemporarily use! in paying tho sameamount of bonds of the district, due Fobruary 1st, 186-J-, and the remaining $800is in the hands of the-Treasurer.

Having, used $2,200 of the third wardschool houso moneys, for the paymentof bonds of the district, which fell dueFebruary 1st, 1834. no new loan hasbeen made under the resolution of thelast annual meeting, authorizing one forthe purpose of paying such bonds.

the proceedings of which, were fraughtwith more momentous and vital re-sults than those which must flow Iromyour action here. Towards you. gentiemen, are directed at this moment,the anxious fears and doubts not only ofmillions of Americans, but also of everylover of civil liberty throughout theworld. In your hands rests, under theruling ol A!l-vviso Prc ice, the fu-ture of this republic. Four years ofmisrule by a sectional, fanatical, andcorrupt party has brought our countryto the very verge of Tho pastand present are suflioicnt guaranteesfor tho disastrous consequences whichwould befall us if Mr. Lincoln's ru-election should bo made possible by ourwant of patriotism and unity.

The inevitable result of such ,a ca-lamity must be the utter disintegrationof our whole political and social system,amid bloodshed and anarchy, with (iregreat problems of liberal progress andself-government, jeopardized for gener-ations to come.

The American people have at lastawakened to the convie-ion that achange- of administration can alonostay our downward course, and theywill rush to the support of your candi-date and platform, provided you willoffer for their euftrage.^, a tried patriotwho has proved his devotion to thoUnion and Constitution.; and providedvou pledge him and yourselves to main-tain their hollowed importance byevery effort and sacrifice in our power.Let us, at tho very outset of our pro-eecdingi-, bear in mind that the dissen-sion* of th-o hist National DemocraticConvention woio OIVB of the pfiiKiipalcauses which gave tho reins ol govern-1

merit n:to the hands of our opponent,and let us not fall again into the samefatal error. We must bring to thealtar of our country tho snciifice of ourprejudice and opinions, tho momentthey threaten the harmony so indispen-sable to our success. We are not hereas war democrats, nor as peace demo-ciats, but as citizens of thir; great re-public, which we will strivo and laborto tho last to bring bu«k to its formergreatness nr.d prosperity, without onesingle star taken from tho brilliant con-stellaion that onco encircled its youthful brow, and let puro and disinterest-ed patriotism be tempered by moderationand forbearance, and under the bless-ings of the Union, the Constitution andthe laws must prevail over fuuatieismand treason.

CHICAGO, August 21.At tho close of Mr. Belmont's re-

marks, he nominated ex Goyernor Big-ler, of Pennsylvania, for temporaryPresident, which motion was earnedunanimously.

W'hcn the cheers which greeted Gov-ernor Bigltr subsided, he said : "Gen-tlemen of the convcnlion, I am greatlyhonored in your selection of myself topreside oycr tho preliminary delibera-tions of this democratic body.

It is not expected, nor would itbo befitting in "no assuming tba meretemporary presidency of tho Conventtion, that he should enter upon anygenera] discussion of tho many topicssuggested by the unhappy condition ofour country, A brief allusion to thooccasion and purposes of our nssemblago is all that will be necessary. Nos'niilur body ever assembled in Arnen-ica with mightier objects before it, orto which FUCII a vast proportion of theAmerican people looked with suchprofound eolicitude for measures topromote (ho welfare of the conntrv andgdvance their individual happinessThe termination of democratic rule inthis country- was t : e end of peacefulrel-.tioiis/bitweeiri the States and thepeople. The elevation of a sectionalparty to authority at Washington wasthe culmination of a long intended andacrimonious war of crimination aud vecrimination between extreme men attlie North and South, an.l was proa pt-ly followed by dissolution nnd civilwar, and in tbo progress of lhat war,even the bulwarks of civil liberty l.avobeen imperiled, and tho whole fub;iobrought to the very verge of cii.->o:u-tion, and now al, the er.d ol more thanthroe years of war unparalleled in mod-ern times, for i's magnitude, and for itsbarbarous desolations; after more thantn'o millions of m(;n have been calledinto the field on our side alone; afterthe land has been literally drenched infratprnnl blood and waitings and lamentalk>;:;; are in every corner of ouroinmon country, the hopes of the

Union, and our cherished object, r.re inno wise it.ipioved. The men now inauthority, through a feud which theyhave long maintained with violent nndunwise men at the South, because of aM i d fanaticism about an institution insome of the States, in relation to whichthey have no duties to perform, and noresponsibilities to boar, are worthlessand incapable of adopting the propermeans to rescue our countrv, ourwhole country, from its present lamenta-ble position. Then gent'emen, the nextir.dcspensaUle fo the accomplishment ofthis great work is the overthrow, bythe ballot, of the present Administra-tion, and tho inauguration of anotherin its stead, which will wisely and* zeal-ously, but temperately r.nJ jJ'Stly wieldthe power of the government to bringabout a speedy settlement of our naiiona! trouble?, acc:rding to tbe prin-ciples of the constitution, and on termshonorable and just to all sections.North and South, East and West, andwhich will stand unfalteringly by civiland religions liberty, which, instead ofrelying solely on its peculiar dogmasand doctrines, and the ravages of thosword, will refer the nation's troublesto the people—the fountain of politicalauthority—and to the States, underthe forms of tho Constitution, one olwhich will have no condition precedentto the restoration of the Union, butwhich will seek that result, personalpeace among the people.

Gentlemen—We have been commissioned by tbe people to come here toinitiate steps to accomplish these greatobjects, to select nn agent and theagencies in this good work. That thetask will bo well performed, I have un-faltering faith, nnd thai tho people, andthat God may bless these means to thedesired end, is my earnest prayer.

The ceremonies then were opened byprayer, by Rev Mr. C!arkf»on, of theProtestant Episcopal church.

After appointing committees on cre-dentials, permanent organization, andresolutions, and transacting other pre-liminary business, tbe convention -adjourncd until Tuesday moruing.

TUESDAY'S SESSION.

Tii« convention convened on Tues-day morning at 10 o' clock.

The committee on permanent organization reported, and lion. HOHATIOSEYMOUH, of New York, was elected

President.

On taking the chair, Governor Sey-mour spoke as follows :

GENTLEMEN or THE CONVENTION—Icannot forecast the resolutions andactions of this convention, but I cansay that every, member of it loves theUnion, desires peace, and will upholdConstitutional freedom. While theresolutions and actions of this conven-tion arc of the utmost importance,there avo reasons why tho democraticparty should bo restored to power andthey are groat reasons. Tho democrat-ic party will restore the Union becauseit longs for in restoration; it will bringpeace because it loves pence. It willbring liberty to our land because itloves liberty. I t will put down despo-tism because it hates the ignoble ty-ranny which now degrades the Ameri-can people.

Four years ag«, a convention trwt inthis city, whtn our country was peace-ful and prosperous and united. Itsdelegates did not mean to destroy ourgovernment, nor to load us with debt,or delude us with blood ; but theywere uuitod by intolerance and fanati-cism, and blinded by Bn ignorance ofthe spirit of our institutions, tbe char-acter of our people, tbo eci::-rtiUition ofour land. They thought they mightsafely indulge their pnssions, and theyconcluded to do ;o. They would notheed tho warning? of their fathers, andthey did not consider that medd'ing begets strife. Their passions havewrought out their natural result. Theywere compelled to refuse all measuresof compromise, step by step, and theyhave marched on to the results whichiit the outset they would have shrankfrom with horror. Even now, whenwar has desolated our land, has laid itsheavy burdens upon labor, and whenbankruptcy and ruin overhang us, theywill not have the Union restored upon

aondition« known to o'tr constitution.They will noi ibt tiie shedding ofblood cease even for a little time to seeif Christian charity or the wise wisdomof statesmanship may not work out amethod to save our country, Nay,more than thi.i, they will net listen toa proposal for peace which does notoli'«T that whieh this government hasno light lo ask.

Never in tlie history of the worldhave soldiers given up their lives morefreely, than have those of the armieswhich have battled for the flag of ourUnion in the Southern States.

While thosemorse sacrifice

in power, without re-the blood aud treas-

ure of our people, they will not give uptheir own passions lor tho public good.This Union is not held asunder bymilitary ambition. If our politicaltroubles could be referred to the peaceful arbitrament of the contending arm-ies in the field, our Union would be- re-stored. The right of States would beguaranteed, the sncredness of homesand persons bo again respected, amian insulted judiciary would again ad-minister tho laws of the land. Let notthe ruin of our country be charged toour soldiers. I t is not due to theirteachings or fanaticism. In my constatit orobiifl intercourse with them, Ihave never heard uttered one sentimentof hatred towards the people of theSouth. Beyond all men. they valuethe blessings (f peace and the virtuesof mercy, of gentleness and of charily;while many who Btiy at home cry havoc,and demand that no mercy shall beshown. Tho bigotry ol fanatics andtho intrigues of placemen have madetlie bloody pages of the history of thei ast three years. It was a soldierupon whom our Savior bestowed hisonly commendation; and when liebung upon tho CM>?S, when priests aridPharisees mocked his sufferings, asoldier, alone, discovered His divinity,when bo heard him pour forth aprayer for mercy and forgiveness forthe author of his sufferings. The Ad-ministration cannot sive this Union,We care not whether Mr Lincoln val-ues many things above tho Union. Weput it the first of all. He thinks aproclamation worth more than peace.We think the blood of our people moreprecious than the edict ( f the Prt-i-dtnt. There are no hindrances in ourpathway to Union and peace. We demaml no conditions for the restorationof our Uiiioii. We are shocked withno hates, no pejudfeea, no passions.We wish ior fraternal friendship yhhtbe people, of the South. 'We demandfor them what we ask for ourselves —the full recognition of the light ofStates. We mean that every star ononr nation's banner stfail shine with aneq;iai lurtre. In the e">ming electionmen must decide with which, oi the twoparties, into which our people are divid-ed, they will act. If they wish forUnion they will act v.ith that partywhich does now nnd always did loveand reverence them. In a demand forpeace they will a<ct uiti; tllWu whofought to avert this war, and now aim tores ore good will and harrrony amongall sections of our country, amongall classes for the saerodoess of theirhomes. They will act wkh tribso jcflrostood up to resist arbitrary arrests,deppo'ie legislation, and the overthrowof the judicary. If, upon the otherhand, they are willing to continue thepresent policy of government and con-dition of affairs, let them act with thatorganization whieh made tho presentcondition of oar country, and there aremany good men who will be' ied to dothis by their passions and prejudices,and Our laud swarms with placemenwho will hold upon power and plunderwith a deadly grasp ; but as for us wea;\- refolved that the party whichhas made tbe history of our country,since their advent to power, seem likesome unnatural dream, sball be imme-diately overthrown. Four years agoit had its birth upon, this spot. Letus see by our action that it will diehere, whore it was born.

We desire union and peace—tJse ad-ministration deny tio union and peace,for they demand conditions and exact aprice whieh they know well will prolongthe war; aud war unduly prolonged, be-comes disunion. Wise statemanship cannow bring this war to a close upon thsterms solemnly set forth by the Govern-ment at tlie outset of the contest. Weare battling for the rights of those whobelong to all political organizations. Wemean that the right of speech shall be.uni-:npairs>d, although th:it right may boused to denounce us. Wo intend thattiie rights of conscience shall bo protect-ed, although mistaken views of duty mayturn the temples of religion into theatresfor partisan denunciation. We meanthat home rights and the nacredncss ofthe fireside shall bo respected by thosein authority, no matter what politicalviews may be held by those who sit be-neath their roof trees. When tbe J)em-o.eratio party shall have gained powor,we shall not be Jess but more tenaciousupon those subjects. We have bornemuch, because those who are now charg-ed with the conduct of public affairsknow but little about the principles ofour Government. We were unwillingto present an appearance of factious op-position, but when we shall havo gainedpower, that official who shall violate oneprinciple of law, one single right of thohumblest man in tho land shall be pun-ished by the full rigor of the law, itmatters not if he sits it) the l'r.esidentialchair, or holds office LludtiV #tir govern-meut.

THE PLATFORM.The following resolutions reported by

the committe were unanimously adopted:Resolved, That in the future and in

the past, we will adhere with unswerv-ing fidelity to the Union under the Con-stitution as the only solid foundation forour strength security, and buppiuess, asa people, and as a frame work of govern-ment equally conducive to the welfareand posterity of all the States, bothNorthern and Southern.

Resolved, That this convention doeiexplicitly declare, as the sense of tlieAmerican people, th>t after four years offailure to restore the Union by the ex-periment of war, during which, undertliu pretence of a military necessity, orwar power, higher than the Constitution,the Constitution itself has been disre-garded in every part; public liberty andprivate i ig' t, alike trodden down, andthe condition of tha country materiallyimpaired ; justice, liberty, humanity andthe public welfare demand that immedi-ate efforts bo made for a cessation ofhostilities, wiih a view to an ultiiwtluconvention of all the States or otterpeaceful means, to the end that at theearliest practicable moment, peace maybe rcs'o ed on the basis of the FederalUnion of the States.

Resolved, That tho direct interferenceof the military authority of the UnitedStates in the recent elections held inKentucky, Maryland, Missouri, andDelaware, was a shameful violation ofthe Constitution, and such acts in thoapproaching election will.bo held as rev-olutionary and resisted with all themeans and power under our control.

Resolved, That the aim and object ofthe Democratic party is to preserve theFederal Union and the rights of tiethe States unimpaired ; and they herebydeclare .that ffidy consider the adminis-trative usurpation of extraordinary anadangerous powers not granted by theConstitution : the subversion of thecivil b-y military arrests, imprisonment,trial, and sentence of American citizensin States, where civil taw exists in failforce; the suppression of freedom ofspeech, and of l'ne press; the denial o{tho fig it of asylum; the opou andavowed disregard of. St:Ue pightej theemployment of unusual test-oaths, andthe interference with, and denial of thapeople to bear anas, as calculated to pro-vent a restoration of the Union, and theperpetuation of a government derivingits just powers fro:a the eonsent of thegoverned.

Resolved, That the shameful disregardof the administration to its duty to witfellow-citizens, who are now, and longhave been prisoners of war m a sufferingcondition, deserves the severest reproba-tion on the score alike of publicandcou-mou humanity.

Resolved That tho sympathy of tbedemocratic party is heartily and ear-nestly extended to the soldiery of ourarmy, who are and have been in tbe fieldunder the flag of our country, and inthe event of our attaining power by theUnited States, wivi receive all care, pro-tection, regard aud kindness that ourbrave sold ers of tho Republic- Lave wnobly earned.

Prom the Shenandoah.BALTIMORE, Aug. 29.

A special to tbo army headquarters,Middle Military Division, in tlio field,29th, says the long-looked for advanceof our troops lias at last commenced.Yesterday morning, at 4 o'clock, ourcavalry started out and commenceddriving the enemy's rear guard. At 5o'clock tlie infantry broke camp, and at7 o'clock had taken a position in a lineof march which was in three parallelcolumns We had not proceeded far,when we became satisfied, that tlio mainforce of tho enemy bad retired from ourimmediate front, and retreated to someposition up tho valley. A reconnois-sance made in front of General Crook'slines on the left of our position, Satur-day, developed the fact that the mainforced of the enemy had left our imme-diate front, but in what direction th-ayhad moved, we Lad no reliable in-formation.and even, up to tho time ofwriting this dispatch, the whereaboutsof Eariy's main force is a mere specula-tion. Movements, however, fit presentare on foot which throw some light onthe subject. Our cavalry had someheavy skirmishing yesterday in the vi-cinity of Charlostown, witli a portion ofEarly's rear guard, iu which two officersof the 1st United States Cavalry worekilled. We captured some twenty pris-oners, who state that the main force ofthe enemy moved off three days ago, andwent in the direction of Martiusburg.Statements of prisoners have to be tf.kcnwith a great deal of caution.

Reinfo. cements for the Army.New York, August 30.

The World's Washington specialsays : Moat encouraging accounts arereceived from every quarter as to thonumber of recruits now being obtained.In Pennsylvania about 30,000 menhave been recruited ; quite ns many inNew York, while New England hasfurnished 20,000, and perhaps when allthe returns are received the numberwill be found to be even greater thanthis. The Western States are also do-ng very well. For some time past, re-iilofcenients at tho rate of 4,000 periveek have been going forward to theArmy ofthe Potomac, nnd for the nexttwo or three week? it is expected that1,000 per day will be forwarded. Theaverage number of recruits now obtain-ed daily throughout tho country is a-bout 1,300 and this number will be in-reasotl to 2,000 or 2,500 per clay be-

fore the 5th of September. At lea.^t150,000 men will have been raised forthe Army find N;ivy before the daynamed, not counting credits on previ-ous calls w those arising irom formernaval enlistments. Hud the call beenfor 300,000, it is thought the men couldeasily have been obtained, but thelarge call discouraged the people. Onaccount of these large additions to thejinny, efforts will bo ir.nde to hsrs thedrait postponed in the hope that nsulfi-cient nilmher of men may bu obtainedwithout resort to that objectionablemeasu-e.

The notes will be transmitted to the owners free oftransportation charge a.s soon alter the re3efpt of"the original Certificates of Peposit as they can beprepared.

As the notes draw Interest from August IB, personsmaking deposits subsequent to t in t date must pay theinU rest accrued fieni data uf note to date of deposit.

Parties depositing twenty-five tlumsand dollars andupwiird.s for these notes at any one time will be allowed a rommi^sion.of one quarter of one per cent.,which will be paid by the Treasury Department upoothe receipt of a bill for the amount, certiiied to bythe oflictr with whom the deposit was mad".

It is believed that no securities offer so great in-ducements to lenders us those issued by the govern-ment. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faithor ability of private parties, or stock companies, orseparate communities, only, is pledged for p!iyma-*nt,while tlie whole property ofthe country is held toswsuje the discharge of all the obligations of the Uni-ted States.

Wiitle the government offers tlie most liberal termsfor it^ loiuis, it believes that the very strongest ajipeal will be to the loyalty and patriotism of the peo-ple.

,i i i ' ,\ rite: t,>.• 11 :DI old gentle-man, a neighbor ut' his; wito has a largegarden, said to him: " Ido i i ' t knowwhat or> 'iiirlli to do with them peskyJeavos, they kiver up everything, andninko things look kinder shiftless." Acoordibg to our observations there arcT)int:y others who Isavc not yet learnedthe value of leaves, In their desire tokeep the garden mid grounds neat, they

«put the fallen leuveaout of sight withouta thought <>f the value of what they arethrowing away. Leaves are useful in.two ways; in their entire stfite as amuleh, and decomposed a» a manure.Leave* are the natural muleh, (To intothe wood* in autumn aud look under theleaves and you will find various seedssprou'ing nnder them and getting a suffi-cient start to enable them to winter under this genial covering and break intovigorous growth w!th the return ofspring. Tho beautiful wild flowerswhich die out when taken to the garden,are in the woods nicely tucked up undera coverlet of leases ; they sleep warmand wake strong aud refreshed. Thereis no better winter covering for a straw-berry bed, and for herbaceous plantsgenerally, thau a gcod coating of leaves.The great difficulty is, they will blownway. This may be prevented by layingbrush upon them, or giving them a lightsprinkling of soil. Plan's protected iuthis way have a covering which wi'lward off the injurious effec's of suddenchanges of temperature, but will notpack so closely as to endanger the healthof the plant Decomposed leaves arevaluable, and in the form of leaf mouldare considered one of the chief fertilizers.

Aside from the pure'y vegetable mat-ter they contain, the leaves huve also figreat deal of mineral matter whieh isdeposited in theiii during evaporationthat is carried on during the growingseason. The mineral matter is in justthat finely divided and soluble statewhich makes it ready to be again takenup by other plants. The leaves of treeswhen burned, give fromper cent, more ashes thanthe same tree. It willleaves are of the highest

..compost heap, tho barn-yard' and thepig-stye, and he who Deglects to savethem disregards the sources of fertilitywhich nature is kindly offering him.Even thus early in autumn many leaveswill fall, and the collection should be bogUD and continued, and any place, largeor small, will find a well sheltered pileof leaves valuable to draw upon formulch, for winter covering, and for usoin equal proportion with manure in hotbeds. Those not needed for these purposes may add to the richness of themanure henp By all means save theleaves.— American Agriculturist.

The Grape Vine in Sep:ember.If the vine is allowed to grow on,

unchecked, there will be. at the end ofevery shoot, a portion of a very imma-ture wood. If the growth is stoppedin September, the energies of the plunt,which would have been expended inprolonging the shoot, are directed tomaturing the remaining wood, as wellas to perfecting the buds nbiufa are toproduce the fruit the following year.The statement which has been made,that certain of our native grapes can-not bo successfully trained upon thearm and spur system, are doubtlessowing to the fact that the system is notfully carried ou1. The success of thismethod of pruning, in good measuredepends upon stopping the uprightgro.vth of the canes at three or fourleaves above the last bunch of grapes,aod in keeping the laterals thoroughlypinched in. Both these operations arenecessary to secure well developedbuds to produce the next season's fruit-ing canes. Moreover, this early stop-ping of I he growth has, a tendency tocause the roots to mature sooner, and tobe belter prepared to endure the win-ter. When rot appears, it has usuallydone its work before the present month,but if any defective berries are seenupon a branch, they should be removed.—Amer. Ay.

GEN MCULEM.AN'S POPULARITY WITH

IHB ARMY,— It has long boon the policyof llio miserable political tricksters, whowok to d'S'.roy the reputation of Gen.MuClelian. to represent that he was notpopular with the army—that the armywas almost a u i t V Abraham Lincoln,believing him to be a thorough goingradkia!. Heretofore, we have had someopportunity to know that Gen. McOlelIan was held iu the highest regard by alarge portion of the brave men who con-s'itute the Army uf the Potomac.

We have not) forgotten the manyearnest appeals for McClelkn to leadthem whiit) they were being misled byG'en. Pope ; nor have forgotten the loudshouts for McClellan, which madeWashington ring, when the Army of thePotomac was marching under his leadto drive Lee from Maryland. Andagain, the succeeding year, when underHooker and Meade, they again crossedto the north side of the Potomac, forthe defense of Washington, we have alively recollection of the loud cries of" Give us Little Mac," which burstforth as regiment after rogimeut filedalong Pennsylvania avenue.

But we have later testimony than this,and from another quarter too. A veryintelligent gentleman by the name ofWiseman, who has just returned fromSherman's army, his time having expired,called in our office a few days since, andin the course of conversation, remarkedthat General McClellan had a host olfriends iu the army; that.a large pro-portion of the best informed men in thearmy wore strong McClollan men. Hetells us that when Hooker came to Ten-nessee with the 11th and 12th armycorps from Virginia, he took particularpaius to find out how they regarded Mc-Clellan, and he was surprised to findnearly every man of them enthusiasticMcClellan men. Tims it is seen thatdespite the many .moans which havebeen used to kill off MeClcllau, ho stilllives in the hearts of all intelligent andbrave soldiers, who know how to estimate true worth and charae'er. Andwe predict that McClellan's .name willlive and shine upon tho page of historywhen the names of those who revile himwill be buried and forgotten with, thefoul rnbbish of this uunatural rebellion.—Louisiana (Mo.) Journal.

MISCELLANEOUS WORKS,

A Test Oath.In Kentucky, now under martial law

as a "political necessity," a man is heldto be disloyal and liable to banishmentwho refuses to take the following oath,

the form prescribed at Louis-

of the county of , State of

which isville:

"I, .Kentucky, do solemuly swear, in tbepresence of Almighty God, that I willhenceforth faithfully support, protect,and defend the Constitution of theUnited States, and the Union of theStates thereunder; and that I veil1, inlike manner, abide by, aud faithfullysupport all acts of Congress passed dur-ing the existing rebeHkm with referenceto slaves, so long and so far as not re-pealed, modified or held void by Con-gress or by the decision of the SupremeCourt; and that I will, in like manner,abide by, aud aitiifully support all pro-clamations of the President made duringthe existing rebellion, having referenceto slaves, so long and so far as not mod-ified or declared roid by decision of thoSupreme Court."

How mnny of the citizens of NewYork would take this oath in order to beallowed to exercise tho rights- of citizen-Bhip ? There is no authority under theConstitution to demand such an oath ofa citizen, and it is an act of despotismto attempt to punish men for decliningto take it. Tho proclamations of thePresident are not-laws, aud no man isunder any moral or legal obligation tosupport them. There would be just asmuch propriety in imposing this oath oncitizens of New York as on those ofKoutueky, and who oan give any assur-ance that it will not be done befoie thePresidential election ?

"Nobody ever lost anything by love,"said a sa^o-looking person. "That'-

deal worn I soon got into conversa-tion with h'm, and he spoke in a verymodest way of his own deeds, sayingthat he owed the victory at Gettysburgmore to the fact of the southern leadersattacking him in a strong position thanto any particular merit of his own.

'•He talked of his present position asa very difficult one ; a fine army com-manded by a first rate general in hisfront ; an uncertain, interfering, buttimorous government iu constant com-munication with him in the rear; whiledisown army is chiefly composed of un-drilled, undisciplined conscripts. TheWashington authorities have from thecoayneneoTnent ol the war been afraidto let tho armies in Virginia act forthemselves, as they dread the idea ofnot having constantly a strong protect-ing force between Leo's army and their
