We wait ed again for live minutes when three came out,,but not together; these we killed, al though one almost escaped from the water to his mouth ere it was completely despatch ed. We tiien waited nearly au hour longer, hut no more made their appearance. The gipsey then said—” f here's no more, ’’and pro ceeded to pour water on Jim’s forehead, She did so for twenty minutest-; she then gave him about a spoonful of water to drink it actual ly hissed in bis mouth. She kept him con lined that day and halflhe next, before she let him free, gradually increasing his allow ance of water. The mau soon reeovered his health, aud at the end of niue weeks his weight was ltfc) pounds. Tbe lizards are of a bottle green colour, about five inches long, red eyes and forked tongue; have only two leet, and a body wedge shape sloping towards tbe tail. Two liaye been sent to Prof. Agassiz; two to Prof. Jack, and one in the possession of Mr. Ferguson, will lie sent to the Natural Ili-tiry •Society. ,Prof. Jack, in acknowledging the receipt of the specimens, says he has seen but one like them, in the University of Mun mcli, which he calls the lacerta lomo. Dr. Jack concludes that as they differ from every kiiowu species of lizards, they must Imve b-en taken into the stomach iu an cmbryotic state, aud from local causes were devoloped into their present state. ltLHKf. Destitution. The Washington Chronicle contains an extract lroui a letter received by a lady of that city from her son, who has for several years been a resident of Charleston, and is a secessionist. Before the rebellion, he was in easy circumstances. The writer says:— “It is trying indeed to me to feed and clothe my family of eight. I shall be thanklu! if I live through this unnatural and horrid busi ness, and able to save my little ones from absolute want and starvation. We live prin cipally ou corn bread and rice, with not a piece of fresh beef more than once in three weeks, aud no tea, coffee or sugar. Twenty five dollars of Confederate money is really worth about one dollar -of former times. There are, however, innumerable persons in the South far worse off than we." How TO MAKE Ice Ckkam—Ice cream i usually considered a luxury not to be iudulg ed in by farmers’families. It is set down a a city dish, though most of the articles usei in its preparation are obtained from the coun j try. It is not generally known that the bes Ice cream can be made without a cosily free* er, in any family where ice and milk are a hand, 'i'o make it. proceed thus: Take twe qnarts of fresh milk—if a little cream be add ed all the better, though ice cream as ordina rily made is innocent ol cream. Scald tbortions may coine in contact with the freezing surface. Prom fifteen to twenty min utes will be sufllcient, and the dish may eithei be served up at once or set away, without re moving from the wooden pail, in a cool place for several hours, covering with flannel cloth Try it, and see if you neen hereafter foregc the ice cream because no freezer is at hand. _ rr ce _ 18 open Day and Evening, tor a Thorough Business Education.

There is au old Latin maxim which men sometimes lose sight of, especially when the opinions of others are the subject of conversa tion. The maxim is this, tempora mulantur. et no» mutamur inilll*. In plain English, “The times are changed and we are chauged with them.” That there is much sound phi losophy embodied in this saying there can be no question, and yet, when meji iu high official positions change their opinions or modify them in accordance with the change of circumstan ces, however honest and necessary those changes and modifications may be, the philos ophy of this maxim is forgotten, and those whose opinions must and ought to yield to the pressure of circumstances, are censured and represented as inconsistent. The man who never changes his opinions iu this changing and progressive world, and es pecially In this remarkable age, must be hope lessly opinionated and very wise in his own conceit. He who changes or modifies his opin ions can generally say with truth, “I am wiser to-day than I was yesterday.” And this too iu the humbler walks of life. But what shall we say of him who occupies a high and com manding position and upou whose opinions the life of a nation may, iu a certain degree, de pend Shall a man thus situated never chauge, but always remain wilful aud stubborn,how ever much circumstauces and conditions change, lest his enemies call him inconstant, weak and vacillating? He must indeed be a weak statesman and embecile ruler who does not watch the signs of the times and shape his course accordingly. The attack on the President of the United States for changing his opinion, made by cop perhead journals all over the country has led us to make the above genera) remarks. It is well known to all who have studied the histo tj or eveuts during the past three years that the President has been driven by force ol cir cumstances over which he had no control, to modify, change and suit his opinions and ac tions to the exigencies of the times. Being honest himself aud looking to the great inter ests of the country which a loyal people had placed under his care aud custody, be did not believe there could be so much wickeduess, desperation and power in the traitor leaders of the South as they have siuce manifested. Thus believing, he did every thing iu his pow er to placate the South, to show the people that all he desired was that the ret>els might lay down their arms and the Union be restor ed, Matu quo ante bellum. It was “on that line” he wished to prosecute the war, and he repeatedly told them so, but bow did the reb el leaders receive it? Did they listen to his expressed designs aud wishes aud drop their uplifted arms against the Government? Not at all, but on the contrary, they nerved them more strongly for the battle, and said in lan guage that could not be misunderstood, “We wish to be let alone—we desire no more union with those who advocate free labor—we want aseparate and distinct confederacy whose corn er stone is slavery—wc want an aristocratic government which ignores and repudiates the free labor system, and we mean to have It however much blood or treasure It may cost. If we can have such a government peacably it it is well, if not, wc will seek it at the point of the bayonet aud at the mouth of the cannon. Such was the language of the traitors in the beginning of the war, and such it has been ever since down to the present moment. But the President was slow to believe that sucli was their determination, such their des peration. He could not believe men could be so demented, so lost to all patriotic feelings and emotions, so bliud to the beauty and glo ry of the “Star Spangled Banner’’ that had won the respect aud admiration of all civiliz ed nations, as to attempt to carry such threats into execution. If the President erred at all, Uis error was on the side ot charity, virtue and humanity, and he continued to hold out to the rebels offers of peace upon the simple condi tion of laying down their arms and obeying the Constitution and laws of the country. But no! they would not hear him, or if they did, they would not accept such offers of peace. They continued to swear louder aud louder everyday that the Uniou should be broken up.aud a separate aud independent government established for themselves whose corner stone must be human bondage. For such purposes did they wage this war upon the Federal Gov ernment, aud for such purposes do they con tinue to carry it on. These are solemn, stub born facts aud will be so recorded on the page of history. They caunot be winked out of the sight of an intelligent and loyal people, and in spite ol ‘.he hissings of all the copperheads in the couutry, the people will hear the truth aud abide by it. The President has said, if the Union could be saved by saving slavery, theu he would save slavery; if it could be saved by de stroying slavery, theu slavery should be de stsoyed; aud he meant precisely what he said. We all know that he has always been anxious to save the Union aud bring back the Slates into it, with all their isws aud institu tions. This doclriue he preached in public speeches and documents and iu private let ters, until he had no audience in the South, or if there were any there who desired to hear him, they dared not show themselves, so oppressed were they by tile military despot ism of Jeff Davis and his minions. Now let the stubborn fact be proclaimed to these croakers about “abolition war,” and to all Copperheads who have set up the cry of peace in the land, that the President of the United States has “changed his opinion,” and been compelled by force of circumstances reluctantly to change it. lie once believed he could save both {slavery aud the Union, 1 but he is now forced to believe tiiat the Un ion can only be saved ou the condition that slavery must be destroyed. Aud what rea sonable, intelligent man will censure the President for such a change of opinion? Have not the slaveholders themselves demon strated to us that we cauuot live in peace while slavery continues? They have often told us so, aud surely we have no teason to disbelieve them. The fact stands out in bold relief. And the question here conies up, “Is not the Union worth iulinitely more than slav ery?” This is the question which the loyal I people are called upon to meet, and meet it they must, face to face. There.is no dodging here aud now. Tbe issue is made up and the slaveholders themselves have made it. The past thirty years have taught us that we cau 1 not have peace aud uuion while slavery ex ists, and if wa have not learned the lesson, the fault is our own, and not the events that have transpired. Slavery is repugnant to re publican institutions, and in the very nature of things, it must always be so. We are willing to go before the people on such an issue, if the Democratic party dare present it. Let them show us tbe tact that the leaders ol the rebels are anxious for peace, but the Information must come from a higher source than a bogus meeting at Niag ara Falls. Let them show usTbat Jeff Davis, his cabinet aml.the editors of the rebel jour nals have swallowed their own words, and now ask for peace, and we will stop to con sider such information and ponder upon it well. The truth is, and it cannot be disguis ed. these rebel leaders have put themselves on record, limes without number, aud this record plainly shows that they commenced the war upon the Government in the interests of slavery, aud for the express purpose of galuing and establishing a confederacy sepa rate aud distinct from tbe Union. Such was their doctrine in the beginning of tbe war, aud such it is today, and the inge nuity and adroitness of tbe Copperheads in this country, from Vallaudigham down to the Editor of the Argus, cauuot blot'out tbat record. It stands an open book to be read of all men who feet any disbosition to turn over its leaves aud uote the coutents. Then why this false cry of peace, when the rebels say, with an emphasis that cannot be mistak en,“we will have no peace that stops short of destioying the Union, and establishing an iu dependant Confederacy, whose chief cornel stone is negro slavery!" Now, croakers and copperheads, show your hands, and no longer attempt to deceive the people, if you are In favor of such a confederacy, say so in so ma ny words; if not, buckle on your armor, rally under the folds of the old ffag, aud help crush out this enrsed rebellion. New Ground of Hope. There have always been local and individu al tests of grace and salvation, superadded to that of Bible or Church organization,—little private airangements for peopling heaven with our special friends, and leaving out ev erybody else. Thus, In Northampton, a gen eration ago, salvation was only earned by membership in the first church, a little slock iu the old bank, and a liberal slice—say half a-dozen acres—of “meadow land.” But of all the restrictions of our day, we have seen nothing tbat puts a fluer point upou it, so to speak, than Rev. Geo. Edis, of Charlestown, did in a speech over the dead body of the venerable Josiah Quincy: Dying iu Quincy, receiving funeral hooois in Boston, borue to his grave through Cam bridge, and resting now ou the slope of Har vard Hill, in Mount Auburn, we may share Ids own strong hope of immortality, and be UP uic is »UUI1UIU Ujr BUIUClUllI^ UCl* ter than a sleep.” This is extraordinarily exclusive, indeed.— The heavenly choir will have to be a quar tette, if thus made up,—for it is easier to be struck by lightning than for these four condi tions to accompany a man's life and death and burial.

A Political Popinjay Posted. Edward Bliss, Commissioner of emigration for Colorado, in New York, publishes a card to relieve that territory of all connection witli “Colorado Jewett.” He says he was a laugh ing-stock fur the two or three mouths he spent in tlie territory, aud that the fear of tar and feathers on account of some questionable busi ness matters prevents his returning. He free ly denounces Jewett as a confidence man and swindler, an arrant humbug and gross impos tor. This will rather elevate Jewett in popu lar estimation, for lie lias been considered a mere fool. What will Napoleon say to these assaults on his intimate friend Can anybody tell where the Press stands on the “water question?”—[Argus, If you had more water and less liquor on board, so that you could “stand” at ail, per haps you wouldn’t ne«d to ask such a question. i Capture of a Line of Bebel works. The following accouut of the gallant action of Hancock’s Corps at Deep Bottom is given 1 by the correspondent of the New York Her ald, who dates on the 27ih July ultimo: i “A portion ofthe troops iu the Army of the Potomac, uuder the immediate commaud oi Major General Hancock having quickly crossed irom the south to the northern bank of the James river, drove the euemy Irom a strong line of iotreuchineuts this morning anu captured four pieces of artillery. The forces forming the expedition moved yesterday afternoon. Marching all night the commaud crossed the Appomattox ou the pontoon bridges at Point ol Kocks and the place called Broadway, aud crossed the James on the bridges uear Deep Bottom. Tire movement was executed secretly aud sileutly; aud iu fourteen hours from the time- of start ing the commaud had marched about twenty miles, crossed two rivers and captured a line of works, with its artillery, Irom the enemy. Having ejected a lodgement on the norm hank of the James, where, however, a force uuder Geueral Poster had becu already station ed, General Hancock's commaud lorined in the open llelds, near the border of the river. The euemy occupied a fortiiied position along a road ruuuiug mostly ou the edge ol an ex tensive piece ol timber, and at that point near ly parallel with the river. After our troops had formed on the open plaiu, a slroug skirmish line was thrown tor ward, aud it soon came iu contact with the I enemy. The consrqueuco was that, with our skir j miohers from other brigades advauciug at other points, the enemy was compelled to abandon that fortified position, leaving four 20-pounder Purrott guns, with limbers, two caissons hilled with ammunition, aud a small number of prisoners iu the hands of Col. Lynch. Alter the euemy had been driven from that first position he retired to a commanding i crest about a mile behind. That point is about three miles irom Malvern Hill. Be couuoitetiug parties soon ascertained the iact that tlie naturally formidable defensive posi tion of the crest was being reudcred strong er still by the euemy, whose reserves were busy completing iuirenclunents which had Jueeu previously commenced, prom in ti trnmt.inn 1 lien in nnr liossession it was bcliev cd that the force of the enemy iu our itnuiedi i ate front consi-ted ol Kershaw's division and an additional brigade of inlautry, with a con siderable force of cavalry, which appeared on our right. Reinforcements, too, were ra pidly arriving by railroad, twenty-nine car loads full hav ing passed up from Petersburg during this afternoon. >ur skirmishers were cautiously sent forward until they came in contact with those ol the enemy in the fields which spread out from the foot of that com manding crest. A portion of General Harlow’s infantry division pushed forward for tue purpose of de veloping the left ol the euemy’s line, ami had a handsome and successful little skirmish. With the same object in view a portion of our cavalry, which is under command of Gen eral Sheridan, advguced ou the Malvern Hill aud New Market road, aud ou the right of the iufantry, dashed in w ith the sabre, pushed in the lett ol the euemy,s line and captured a small number of prisoners. About three weeks ago, when Gen. Han cock resumed command of his corps, after a temporary absence, during which time it lost four guns and with them a portion of the prestige inseparably associated With its name, he issued an order to his troops, iu which he told them that when they met the enemy again he would expect them to fully redeem i what they hail lost. It is au lull-resting co I incidence that this morning, the first occasion I on which they had met the enemy since, they captured tour guus of heavier calibre than I those which they lied lost.ttnil more tliau re established their honorable name. I’pon re I ceiving the announcement of the capture of the guus this morning, Gen. Meade immedi ately dispatched these brief cougratuiatory j Hues ilr;Ao*fr y hteks Army Potomac* I July 27,9 A.M.

Dramatic and Musical Gossip. A Mile. Silly is making her mark at an act ress on London boards. Mile. Lovely is the name of a new opera singer. It is said that their names fit them well. Charles Kesn made £11,000 during a tweu ty-six weeks professional lour in Autlralia. Clara Louise Kellogg U rusticating iu New Hartford, the guest of Kdwiu Carter, Esij A great choral festival of five thousand voices wo* held at the Ckrysl&l Palace, Lon dou, on Wedueaday, Juue 15. In no part of the world has so large a choir been brought together under one conductor. The musical scale of nature is still the sub ject of eager discussiou. The Chinese and old Gaels bad a scale consisting of five tones derived from each other by a succession of perfect fifths. Compared with our modern scale, it wants the fourth aud seventh, aud is tuejmost usual scale of Ihe Scotch airs. The first chime of bells was made iu Alast, In the Netherlands, in 14S7. The celebrated chimes of the cathedral of Erfut, Prussia, wore put up soon afterwards. The largest of the 1 bells in this set is 13 feet high and 34 feet iu circumference. Among the sensations of the season, it is oracularly whispered, will he the first appear- ance of an amateur lady vocalist who moves in very fashonable circle*, who is very rich, who is a pupil of Abella, who possesses a high 1 •oprauo voice, aud who is competent to take rauk at once as a first class prima donna. Another American youug lady residing in New York, ii preparing for the operatic stage, expecting to appear this tall in Iruvalore.— She is a pupil of Barlll. It may he casually added that oue-half of the youug ladies now studying music iu New York, have dim vis ions of emulating Gris), Sontag, Bosio, La Grange aud Medori. A monster concert (estival was given lately at Dusseldorf, to celebrate German victories over Denmark, in which music was “colored" by caunon-flring, (ireworks, d-c. Tweuty new Freuch operas will he given tills season at Baden—lour of them having been expressly written for that place. Jaell, the pianist, is in London, playing at concerts. The Porle-Saint Martin theatre at Paris, for merly devoted to melodramas and sensational pieces,is about to be changed to a lyric theatre, at which both tragic aud comic operas will he given. This will make live opera houses— Graud Opera, Opera Comique, Theatre Lyri- j que, Lei Ilalieus, aud l’orte-Saiut Martin—in Paris. Mazzoleni and his opera troupe had, at last accounts, arrived at Vera Cruz, on their way to Mexico. Caroline Bichings has been singing iu Ital ian opera iu San Francisco, with the Blanch! troupe. A choral festival has lately bceu given in Barcelona, Spain, in which two thousand cho. rus singers aud an orchestra of three hundred players, took part. Medori, the prima donna, notwithstanding her intended marriage with a New York law yer, does not intend leaving the stage. It is announced that site has been engaged for the Tealro Ucgio at Turin, for the season 1804-05. i The compositions of Gouuod and Meyerbeer are Cow all the rage, while Donizetti, Bellini, Kosini, and even Verdi, are suffering an eclipse; hut the obscuration is only partial and will soon pass off. The melodies ol Belli ni will never die out until an an entire change is wrought in human nature. Mexico and Maximilian. The Kmperor Maximilian has not met that warm aud enthusiastic reception from the Mexican poopie that he expected, or that his master, Louis Napoleon, promised him. If he has received cordial greetings trom any source, or it auy {flowers have been showered upon him or his wife, they have generally come from French men and women. The Independence llelr/e says that Max imilian and ills beautiful wife were teceivtd with the utmost cooluess aud indifference, aud that the young Empress was so much dis appointed that she burst into tears. We are sorry to hear of such tears, hut must believe the account, for this paper would not4»e likely tosay anything ill-natured of her majesty, as she is tiic daughter of the King of the Belgi ans. The truth is, this couple have a hard row to hoe in Mexico, and the young and ambitious Emperor will yet have a long account to set tle with Louis Napoleon, who has sent him to this country to rule over a people entire stran gers to him. Maximilian has made some flowery speeches and many fair promises to the people. He has thus far acted well the role assigned him by the French manager ol this great political farce, but after all, the Mexicans seem to be slow in appreciating the performance. The Emperor has taken up his residence in Chepultapec, distant some five milis from the capital. This spot was somewhat celebrated in our war with the Mexicans, aud the name was once quite familiar to American ears, lu uiuer iv insiru iuc uuwu mure uruiiy upon liis brow, tlie Emperor lias sent invitations to President Juarez and tlie other leading Lib eral Chiefs, to come to tbe city of Mexico, and there consult together ou a plan for the resto ration of the peace of the country aud tbe firm establishment of the empire, guarantee ing them full protection aud salety. It is said that they all have refused to hold any communication, except by arms, with t/.e aycnt of Napoleon.” The rumor that Gen. Uraga, who commands the Liberal army of the centre, had given in his adhesion to the Emperor, iiad not been confirmed up to tbe latest date. There is probably no truth in it. Several ministers, representing the new em pire, have been appointed by the Emperor and seut to their destinations, but no minister has yet been sent to this country. The Eevenue Gutter Mahoning. The New York Tribune says, “The name of Lieut. David Kitchie* of the revenue service, will be identified with the history of the war. When the rebellion broke out, be was in New Orleans, attached to the revenue-cutter Mc Cleiian. Tbe traitors there desired and ex pected to seize aud convert her to their own purposes. Lieut. Kitchie was aware of their designs, aud determined to fiustrate them.— The vessel lay at the levee. Gen. Dix was then acting as Secretary of the Treasury.— iloweli Cobb bad abaiidoued bis post, and fled to Secessia. Gen. Dix bad telegraphed to tbe commandant of New Orleans an order to shoot dowu the first man who attempted to lower tije Stars and Stripes upou any build ing or vessel under control »f the Department of the Treasury. That order has become en grafted upon the history of tbe rebellion, aud photograph Copies ol the original are now among Jht' mementoes ol the times. When New Orleans was aiumst wholly in the pos session ol' traitors, and by overwhelming force the cutter was seized, Lieut.

humorous! A Local Editor's Convention, Upon this subject "Gris,'’ of the Cincinnati Times, makes the following timely and well cousidered remarks, which will be read with a deep aud personal interest by all his breth ren ol the caput mortuum craft: We observe a call for a convention of local editors, to be held in Cnicago sometime this summer. What the object of the convention is, or what subjects will be brought belbre It, we do ilot know.—We will venture to suggest the following subjects lor discussiou: 1. The bust way lo sharpen lead pencils. 2. TUe increasing and aiarmiiig’acarcily of invitations to smoke or lake a drink, caused by the heavy tax on tobacco aud liquors. These time-honored customs threaten to cease entirely uuless Government lightens the lax on the above articles. Memorialize! Me morialize! 3. Tue necessity for having established forms for accidents of various grades, etc. These forms should he printed, blanks being left in which to till out names, dates etc. This would greatly facilitate the business of item izing, and afford a uniformity to the reporto rial profession which has heretofore been want ing 4. Necessity for advanced rates in “perqui sites." Owiug to the increased cost of living, witli which salaries have not kept pace, uo putt, however brief or obscure, sUould be in serted lor less than ten dollars. The custom of beiug favorably impressed by a present of ol a pair of pants should be discouuleuauced hereafter. Nothing short of a full suit ol clothes should have the least effect upon a lo cal in these days. Hats by the yard and boots by the Imx might receive a little considera tion. Books, magazines and papers should only be valued according to weight, reuieni beriug that old paper is ten cents per pound. The only papers that would be ol genuine utility, and lor which we would engage to em ploy our entire interest, with the press, are “exemption” papers. 5. Tho establishment of an asylum for worn out and iuflrm locals. Thu arduous du lies oi a loom editor s me are breaking in,a down early. This is one reasou why his solit ary is so small. Dying early, (reasons his era ployer), he don’t need so much money as others, who have a prospect of reaching a ripe old age. Simmer Advice to Brain-workers.— Leave all your books behiud you, forget that there are such things as iufc-slauds aud paper. Take your gun and fiahiug rod, some coarse, big easy clothes and hob-uailed shoes, and penetrate the remotest country you can dud where there is the least approximation to civ ilization, pitch your tout, metaphorically, ami live there, as much like a mere animal or s vegetable as you can, certainly till late autumn, or as long a« you cau find yourself quite up to the usual standard of health. Have no excite meut-s; eat, drink, and sleep; exercise all you can without excessive latigue; but do not go l»eyond the point of weariness which a night's sleep will effectually remove. Live with some quiet old couple who go to bed with the chick ens and rise with the lark. Adopt their habit, and their simple manners, and inv word for it, you will come back to us the next winter t wice the man yon are now. in strength aud stanii ua. Then you will have a more healthful in terest in life; you may go back safely to your books aud pen, and 1 predict that the world will yet hear from you—your utterances will no longer be the feeble, partial efforts of a mow bid bruiu.aud heart, but Ihe vital inspiration of a complete mauhood.—[Sunday Times. The Importance of a Side Judge!— Mr. B. having been elected “Side Judge” in one of the county Courts in Vermont, called on afrieud of his, who had served as side judge to make some inquiries concerning the duties of the office. To his interrogatories the reply was:—'Sir, I have filled this important and houorable office several years but have never been consulted with regard to but one ques tion. On the last day of the Spring term, lsTi, the presiding Judge, alter listening to three or four windy picas of an hour’s length each, turned to me and whispered, ‘B.—ini'I thin bench made of hard tcoodf—and I told him I thought it tea*!' Daring the examination of a,witness as to the location of stairs in a house, the counsel asked him: “tVhich wat do the stairs run?” The witness very innocently replied “One way they run up stairs, but the othi r way they run down stairs." The learhed counsel winked both eyes and then took a look at the ceiling. When tights were fashionable, a fellow re turned a pair of trowsers because they weic too small for his legs. “But you told me to make them a* tight as your skiu.”aaid the tailor. “True” said lie “for I can sit down In my skin, but I’ll be split jf I can iu these breeches.” OFFICE OF T H F ATLANTIC Mutual Insurance Company, NEW YORK, JANUARY JC-, 1601 THE Trustees, in conformity to the Charter of the Company, suliuit the lollowiug statement ot it* afliirs ou the 31st Dicember.
