Tracy, Traveling Agent. Monday Morning, Jan. 23,1865. Jfrom the Richmond Examiner. Jeff Daria Carrying the Confederacy to Perdition. Men are asking one another, is there no remedy Is it a ratal necessity that we should sit still, with folded hands, and see the affairs of the confederacy going from bad to worse, by reason of one constant system of perverse passion and obstinacy, of which we can all trace the course in the past and foresee the miserable ending If the Confederate Con gress cannot or will not constitutionally inter pose to stop us on this sloping descent to per dition, or ii any remonstrance, action or reso lution of that Congress is sure to be “consti tutionally aud contemptuously” baffled, and snubbed by a veto—what then Have we en closed ourselves in the iron circle of necessity, out of which egress is none? Have we put our selves into an inexorable piece of machinery, wound up to go lor six years certain; and, the spring once touched, are we bound to revolve in it like blind mice, though we know it is whirling us to the devil Men, we say, are asking themselves these questions, and especially the question, is there no remedy Yes; there is one remedy; Conventions of the several states; and to begin with a Convention of Virginia, here in Richmond. All men say that a general-in-chief is needed, but when the law is proposed, it is assumed that Congress has not the power to make it. Well a Con vention has full powers. The Constitution is interposed. Well, Conventions make Consti tutions. Let us have a Convention—a Con vention of full powers—the Convention ol Vir ginia is first of all. The Legislature of Vir ginia. is in session—let it call a Convention of me State. We know why most persons, both in Virginia and elsewhere, have been reluc tant hitherto to say the word; it is because the recommendations for calling Conventions which have been lately made in two states cf tLe Confederacy, were supposed to contem plate, or seemed to contemplate, a breach of iaiib and base abandonment of allies in the very crisis and agony of war ior our common independence; therefore such suggestions were very properly rebuked, both in Georgia and North Carolina; and, in the latter State the present Governor was carried triumphant ly into office expressly as the opponent and denouncer of a State convention for any such purpose. But State conventions are our high est political tribunals, the most potent ex pression of that sovereign independence which we ure now banded together to assert. If some have invoked a convention, but in vain, to oner au abject submission to the enemy, it does not follow that conventions themselves are condemned. They may be invoked tor good as well as for evil—to make sucoassful war as well as disgraceful peace. And what is now proposed is that Virginia and the other Coufederate States foithwith meet in separate State conventions—to be followed by a con vention of delegates from them all—in order to consider the past and present conduct of the war, and to recemmend some measures to the ceutral agency (which is the creature ot the States) with a view to its speedy and tri umphant success. Of course this proceeds upon the assumption that there is a very gen eral'discontent with the present administra tion of military affairs, and distrust and unea siness about the result, if the present manage ment is continued. r or me assumption mat sucn a leenng exists there are bat too good grounds. It is In tbe air; it is in the eyes and voices of men; it goes with them to church; It attends them to the market; lonely pickets feel it around them at night, aud black care mounts behind the horseman. Neither is it a superstition and baseless halncination. This people is rational, logical, consequent; and while persistent ef fort aud indomitable conflict and defiance coma natural to it, yet it requires to feel that it is not befooled. God knows the people ot Virginia have shrunk from no peril, or sacrl flee or hardship; neither will they shrink; but they need to be assured in their own hearts that when they march, they are going somewhere; that when they suffer they can see their way to the reward; that when they make sacrifices there is not somebody making a sacrifice of them. It has been with an anxious wish to see the best side of every thing, that our people have watched the prog ress of events thus far; but they have met with some rude shocks. Perhaps the last per formance, relieving Gen. Johnston, putting Hood in his place, and then announcing in a public speech that Hood and bis army were going to make a tour, and that Sherman had carte blanche in Georgia, and now continuing to hold Hood in his place, and continuing to keep Johnston out of his place, in the teeth of reason aud experience, was the rudest shock of all. They had not believed Mr. Da vis, with all his errors, so utterly weak and narrow as this. It was a misfortune to the Confederacy, as is long since evident, that its first President was, or thought himself to be a military man. If he had been some worthy 1 planter, who never was either at West Point or Mexico, and had no special qualification save a manly, straight forward Southern spir it, then he would never have thought himself competent to plan distant campaigns and In terfere with Generals in the field; he would then have been well pleased to repose tbe entire military control In the bands of some one great Captain, whom the unanimous voice ol the army and the country would soon have designated to him. But Mr. Davis unluckily studied at West Point, still more unfortunately in Mexico, he one day formed his regiment of two hundred and fifty Mississippi volunteers into tbe shape of a V, and received a charge of Mexicans a la fourcliette. All the learned newspaper chroniclers of the Mexican busi ness extolled beyond tbe skies that fatal fourchetle; by reason of that tiresome four chette tbe Colonel conceived himself indeed a military genius. We feel its evil effects to this day, and if we are to perish, the verdict of posterity will be, “Died of a V.” For the liorns of this V are not like tbe horns of a dilemma, one of which you can always choose to be impaled upon; but be gores us with both horns, like a bull. tlowever this may be, there Is areal dan ger, not so much that the military resources j of the country, but what is more important, the military spirit of the country, may be Wasted, the proud resolve4o go all lengths In resistance to an Infamous invasion—that spir it which would have borne us and our cause triumphantly through to a glorious end, with ordinary sagacity and energy in the conduct of affairs, may grow weary, weary; only stu pidity or sycophancy would deny It—and in order that the evil may be remedied, It needs that some one boldly point it out, aud indi cate the cause of It, and the remedy. In one word, then, we are not afraid of being con quered by the enemy, so much as of being de feated by Mr. Davis. He despises all war nings, and constitutionally snubs Congress. The press of the country—and we have good reason to know that the army backs the press —calls upon him with an almost unanimous vote to take hts bands off, and let Gen. Lee be (generalissimo of the forces;—he Is whollv ■deaf to such an outcry; calls It “clamor." At last, then, let us try what a convention will do. sy Whenever I marry,” says masculine Ann mnet really insist npon wedding a man ‘But what if this man (for men are but hum feould he equally nice about wedding a \L'OmanP' Importance of Beit. In his excellent “Herald of Health,” Dr. Trail thus sagely advises rest:—"How much has been written about water, air, food, exer cise, dress, and other hygeinic materials and influences, and how little about rest! As a remedial measure, rest is of vastly more im portance than has been generally supposed. As a therapeutic means us place is at the very head of the hygeinic materia medica. Very little skill, comparatively, is required for a practitioner of the Hygelo-Therapeutic school to know when to do something and what to U,ta ,vastly greater ‘““d of professional knowledge is required to know when and how to let the patient alone. One half the world when sick, and one-halt' of the remainder is (retted to death. We have frequently saved riends8UTn!Tg ^7^ the PaUentaml their friends. The world has got a bad fashion of making a terrible ado, keeping up a constant consternation, nursing and fussing continually while anxious relatives, sympathizing friends, mysteriously gibbering doctors, meddlesome nurses, and whisperlug watchers, add their ?Ughty '“fluence to the wrong side, and all because somebody is sick and wants les j tlle. w^ole mischief is traceable to a false dogma in medical science in relation to the nature of disease. The authors teach that disease is an entity, a thing which travels about, pervades the air, penetrates our dwell ings, and Anally attacks us; and th« absurd phantasm is easily transmogrified by the ig norant and unthinking multitude (unthinking on this subject, we mean,) into somehiug ana logous toa witch, a ghost, a goblin, spook, fiend, or demon, which nothing but the doc tor’s poisons, dealt out by the doctor’s own v0umbu*8c, jpacnjr, eradicate, ex orciBe, kill or cure. The charms, incantations, aud amulets of the ancients, were not more silly and the necromancy and pow-wows of the Indian tribe? of the present day are not more ridiculous, (and they are predicated on precisely the same false notions of the nature of disease,) than are the dosiog and drugging and slopping, and stuffing, and watching and lrettingof the regular physicians of to-day, and the patrons aud nurses of their school.— Aloe out of ten of all the maladies of all the people oi the world would get well in a few Hours, or days, if left to themselves, with no other appliances than such as instinct would suggest and common sense employ. Yet, In nine cases out of the ten the doctor is sailed and il he be a drugopathic doctor, one-half his patients are in danger of a protracted ill ness, and ore-half of these are sure ol a ruin ed constitution, not because of the disease, but in consequence or the drugs. When we visit a patient in the country, our greatest dif ficulty is to keep the friends quiet, when noth log but let-alone activeoess is needed. Ail are willing to do something; every one is auxious to lend a helping hand; and people generally estimate a pyhsician’s knowledge and skill by the extent or variety of his prescriptions Few can understand the quietly-working, yet efficient remedial resources of nature when undisturbed,” The Stratsburg Clock. The priests and military have retired, and I am now fitting in a chair facing the gigantic clock—from tke bottom to the top not leas than one hundred feet, and about thirty feet deep. Around me are many strangers wait ing to s^e the working of this clock, as it •trikes the hour-of noou. Every eye is upon the clock. It wants five minutes to twelve. The clock has struck and the people are gone, except a lew whom the sexton or head man, with waud or sword is conducting round the building. The clock has struck in this way The dial is some twenty ieet froqj the floor’ and on each side of it is a cherub or a litte boy with a mallet, and over the dial is a small bell. The cherub on the left strikes the first quar ter, that on the right the second quarter. Some fifty feet above the dia-, hut large niche, is a-huge figure of Time, a bell in his left, a scythe in his right hand. In front stands a figure of a young man with a mallet, who •trikes the third quarter on the bell in the hand of Time, and then turns and glides, with a slow step, round behind Time; then comes out an old man with a mallet aud places him self in front. At the hour of twelve the old man raises his mallet and deliberately strikes twelve times on the bell, that echoes through the building, aad is heard all round through the region of the church. The old man glides behind father Time, and the young man comes round again. As soon as the old man has struck twelve aud disappeared, another set of ma chinery is put in motion, some twenty feet higher still. It is thus: Thero is a high cross with the image of Christ. The instant twelve is struck, one of the apostles walks out from behind, comes in front, turns facing the cross, bows, and walks on around to his place. As he does so another comes out in front, turns, hows, and passes in. So twelve apos tles, figures large as life, walk round, tow, and pass on. As the last appears, an enormous cock, perched on the pinacle of the clock, slowly flaps its wings, puts forth its neck aud crows three times, so loud aa to to heard out side of the church to some distance, and so natural as to be mistaken for a cock. Then all is silent as death. No wonder this clock is the admiration of Europe. It was made in 1571, and has performed these mechanical powers ever since, except about fifty years, when it stood for repairs. [The Moravian. NFORm

Blinding Effect of Party Spirit When a man is willing to subordinate every thing and every consideration to mere party Interest, he ceases to exert any influence for good. We tear this is the ground that our neighbor of the Argus is likely to occupy, if, Indeed, he does not already. He cannot refer to the passport system adopted atasecuriiy against raids from beyond the “border,” with ont invoking ihe demon of party spirit. The men who have Inaugurated the passport eyt tern are dolts, destitute of common sente, and worse than this, they are dishonest, having ■old themselves to Pennsylvania railroad in terests and similar concerns, and dedicated their powers to the demolition of our city! These coustitute a portion of the dark cata logue of offenses of which they are guilty, from which even our own distinguished fellow cltlz >u—hr. Fessenden—is not allowed to es cape. oliCQ 19 toe SlUttliyiDK auu wici» of party spirit; damaging, inasmuch as, so for as it can produce any influence, it is almoi-t sure to be adverse to the very interests which, ostensibly, the person possessed ol it would promote. It Is very likely our Cabinet min ister may made mistakes—for they are only human—but we doubt if they will be led sr rlously to review their action, and thus detect and correct their mistakes, if mistakes they have committed, by denunciation and abase, when one’s acts are grossly misrepresented, and.his motives impugned, he is not likely to change his course as the result ofsuch assaults. Their very flagitiousness satisfies him that he is Dot far out of the way. We have given our view of the passport business. We dare say necessity—a terrible necessity—exists lor very stringent regula tious. St. Albans and Calais, and the Chesa peake affair, all combine to enforce this les son. We cannot afford to have our border towns laid in ashes, their banks robbed, their citizens murdered and their property stolen, though to prevent such acts serious business Inconvenience has to be submitted to. We hope, however, the authorities at Washington may be induced to review the action, and to slacken off so much of the rigor as may be dispensed with consistently with the public safety. The Argus sneers at danger from raids, and even denies facta; says the St. Albans raiders came into the town and left it on horses. They left on the stolen horses of citizens whom they robbed; but suppose it Bhould be impossible to close every avenue through which a southern rebel may find his way from Canada to com mit depredations upon our citizens, is that an excuse for leaving every avenue exposed?— This seems to be the logic of the Argus. Nor do we see the necessity for represent ing that the passports required from travellers serves to stop all business on the Grand Trnnk. Says the Argus, al ter complaining of the ter rible blow to Portland, “Five hundred thou sand barrels of flour aud a million bushels of grain have come over It [the G. TJ to Port land the past year But what has this to do with the passports required by Mr. Seward Flour and wheat come without let or bin drance; so does all freight, as heretofore, and the passport regulation has no more effect up on it, or upon the passengers by the English steamers, than it does upon the changes of the moon. That the passport requirement seriously interferes with the through traml upon the road is very true, and this is the chief extent of its evil influence so far as this locality is concerned. We are not sure that Govern ment has not some special reason for keeping a sharp look oat for this road, for it is said that while all uew employees on tbe road, ap pointed 10 flit the places of old ones, are seut from beyuud the border, marly all of them are strongly tinctured with secession sympa thies, and are anything but friendly to onr country’s cause, aud therefore, may have strong sympathy for raiding parties. We have this from gentlemen wnose friendship for the road and for Portland have been proved by tests that might have jostled minds of less de votion. We hope they are mistakeu. We hope that in the personnel ot the Grand Trunk there will be found to be no special reason for a sharp oversight in the direction alluded to. Good f Jth would seem to dictate that if the managers of that road cannot con sistently with their interest give employment to Ami icau citizens within onr lines, ihey should at least employ only such as sympathise in our great struggle. ihe Arohb shop of Halifax. This divine, Thomas L. Connolly, has re cently written and published a very elaborate article on Fenlanism and Confederation.— Passing over what he says about Fenianiem, we corns to the confederation of all the Prov inces of British North America and its beat ings on our Government and people. The salient point ol the Bishop’s argument is that confederation would giv, them strength to cope with us in case we should desire or at tempt to annex them to the United States.— He expresses many fears that after our war is over we may have a secret wish to hitch Can ada upon the Northern end of our Republic, aud extend our domain to the Artie Oceao. Speaking of our struggle the Bishop says: ‘‘Whenever the present difficulties termi nate,—and who can tell the moment?—we will be at the mercy ol oar neighbors; and victorious or otherwise, they will be eminent ly a military people, and with all their appa rent indifference about annexing this country, and all thefrieudly feelings that may be talked, they will have the power to strike when they please, and this is precisely the kernel and the only touch point of the whole question. No nation ever had the power of conquest that did not use It, or abuse it, at the very first fa vorable opportunity." He has but little faith in the magnanimity and forbearance of mighty nations. such can be explained on the principle of sheer expe diency as the world knows. The whole face of Europe has been changed and old dynat tles have been swept away within our time on the principle of might alone. Again he says: The thirteen original States of America, with all their professions or self denial, have been all the time, by money-power and by war, and by negotiation, extending their fror tler, until they more than quadrupled their teiritory within sixty years; aud believe it whomiy, are they now of their own accord, to come to a full stop. No; as long as they have the power, thev must go onward, for it is the very nature of powjr to grip whatever is within its reach. It is not their hostile fee' lags, therefore, but it is their power, and only their power I dread. vre are sorry thu learned Prelate is troubl ed with a dread of our power. We can assure him that we are a very peaceable, quiet peo ple, much more auxlous to make money, build railroads, erect churches and school-houses, than “to grip" any part of Queen Victoria’s Provinces or to light our neighbors. True we have been driven into a war for our national ity, but that will soon be over, and we shall not trouble the Canadians or any body else ■o long as they behave in a proper manner and observe all international rules and regula tions. This worthy Bishop must not think because we have bean taught how to handle the sword, rifle and big gun thatwe have become blood thirsty, and delight In fighting. We are glad he hat no fears on account of our “hostile leellngs,” and we again assure him that he peed not have any dread of our power. The Editors. In looking o*er the rebel papers, especially those published In Richmond, we are struck with the altered tone of their leading articles. True, there is much of the same bragging, boasting spirit that has always characterized their columns; the same propensity for lying and misrepresentation In relation to their ar my movements and their great victories, and our signal defeats; their contempt for “Yan kees” and sneers at the laboring classes of the North; their pnde, pomp and self-complacen cy. But underlying all this pomp and self glorification, there is a despairing tone—a fearful looking for of judgment which, with all their art, they cannot conceal. They know as well, and even better, than we do, that their prospects for the establish ment of an independent Confederacy, based upon human bondage, grows darker and more gloomy every day. They see and feel all this in their inmost hearts, and yet they caU upon all their wit and ingenuity to conceal it from the world, and especially from the mas ses of the common people of the South. It is evident, to a careful and intelligent reader of their journals, that public opinion in their own States Is fast becoming a formidable power which they begin to fear almost as much as they do the Federal arms. Tne tear uas greauy lucreaseu since oum man's march through Georgia. If these Richmond editors could have had their way, if their desises could have been gratified, they would have had every white man and negro who were able to carry a gun, aud every wo man who could wield a broomstick, in Geot gia, marshalled in front of the Union forces and compelled to fight them every inch of the way. But no such demonstrations were made, no such opposition offered, and Sherman poshed along to bis objective point without trouble or molestation. And these editors may well exclaim, Bine illae lachrymae l These journals and the leaders of the re bellion have always known there was a Union sentiment—a secret and suppressed love aud veneration for the Ensign of our Republic, which would be a dangerous element to them it it should rise above military power aud as sert its rights aud privileges. This sentiment they have been combatting ever since the re bellion was inaugurated, and in the first sta ges of the war they found the combat more easy than they find It now. The march of Sherman and the capture of Savannah have alarmed them on this point, and the defeat of the dashing Hood set the ball in motion. The gentlemen who edit the Richmond papers are far from being fools. Their editorials are ably written and show much tact and shrewdness. True, they lie most outrageously, but not oftqn when the truth would answer their purposes better, for they understand the character of their rea ders who are more easily galled and hood winked than the people of the North. We do not include iu this category ail their reader*, for the more intelligent classes—the slate holding aristocracy—know their editors “call on their imaginations for their facts and on their memories for their wit." And they are willing and expect them to pursue such a c >urse. They are birds of one feather, bnt whither they will fly or where they will build their nest3 remains to be seen. The atmosphere in Dixie begins to be too close for easy breathing, and if we mistake not, such traitors will fiud no place in this world where respiration will not be attended with some difficulties. This rebellion has produced great changes on other continents be sides this, and the shock has been felt in the re motest corneis of the earth. Weknow not what a death-bed repentance” may do !or them, and therefore do not feel authorized to speak of their Jives beyond the grave, or how they will be able to breathe in such an atmosphere. It was bard indeed for the Richmond editors to inform their readers that Sherman had marched his army through Georgia and cap tured Savannah. Aud they would not have done so, if such glaring facts had not stared the people in the face. They knew it was im possible to keep the masses in ignorance of those demonstrations and they confessed them, but with such qualifications as they believed might render them as little obnoxious and frightful as possible. It is true that since this triumphant march of the Federal forces and the fall of Savannah, these editors could not restrain themselves from letting the cat out of the bag, and the} have said many evil things of the Georgians and characterised them as rebels. The world must laugh at such consummate absurdity 1 Call the Georgians traitors be cause their love of the old union Flag has not entirely died out in their hearts I Yes, they still love this emoletn of our country's glory which has won the respect of all nations. Shame on those who stigmatise as traitors such as still love the “Stars and Stripes” un der whose folds they have prospered so maty years! No wonder these Richmond editors ate alarmed at the Savannah demonstrations, for the capture of that city has established a ba e for the civil restoration of the South. There writers may fret and foam, but they cannot extinguish the light that is now burning in Savannah and casting its beams over all the cotton States. They cannot, acroit and cun ning as they are, suppress the onion sentiment that is beginning to show itself. As well might they attempt to bail out the ocean or extin guish earth’s central fires. We consider the capture of Savannah more than a military viotory. It has a significance above and beyond that. It has a moral force that may yet produce effects which we hardly dare dream of, and ail this in spite of these as tute editors at the opposite poles of the Con federacy. One of their cities before capture by the Federal forces is esteemed of much val ue to the Confederacy, but the moment it falls into our possession it is considered of no con sequence. Should Richmond be evacuated or taken, and these editors compelled to remove their printing offices to some other locality they would say: “Richmond was not of much use to us, neither will it be to the Yankees It never has been one of the pillars of our Con federacy.” Such is their pretended philosophical cool ness under all tbeir defeats and bad luck They possess a remarkable versatility of po w ers. Their philosophy is really stoical. But after ail their boasting, lying, misrepresenta tion and assumed coolness, there are running their throutheditorialsacertain fear and tremb ting which cannot fail to strike the intclligen' reader These feelings stick out iu spite of all their art to conceal them. The eud evi dently draws near, and they see its approach The time seems to be fast coming when they may be as anxious to conceal their own per sons as they are now to hide the emotion, that are pressing their hearts. “On such a full sea are they now afloat” and if they do not lake the current when it serves they will “lose their ventures,” if not their necks. Suicide.—Mr. Melvin S. Whitney—former ly, we are informed, pf Bangor—recently a wealthy wiue merchant, committed snicide h, New York a few Jays since. He had been un fortunate In his business speculations. The Evening Post says Mr. Whitney’s family was taking breakfast, he entered the bath-room and laid down in the tub, where he cut his throat. He was officially connected with sev eral financial institutions—the Saginaw Solar Salt Company, the Manhattan Gas Company, the Germania Life Insurance Company, and the Park Bank. Mr. Whitney was highly re spected by all who knew him. Sad Accident—Mr. Mark Oobe of Ma ch'88; with his wife an(j a daughter of Mr. Phillip Cobe of this place, aged seven years, started from here on Monday to go to Machl as, and on the way, in crossing Gardner’s Lake broke through the ice, and Mr. Cobe’s daugh ter was drowned.—[Eastport Sentinel.] Culture of Eloquence. The power of correct and impressive public Speaking, always important, is dally becoming more solo our own country. The platform baa become the great arena for the exercise of rhetorical skill rnd battling against the en emies of Truth, Liberty and Justice. Other things being equal, the man most gifted in or atory will always occupy a prominent place in all public movements. His influence will al ways be sought in all enterprises of a public nature, and his opposition always feared.— There is no country in the world at the pres ent time, where true eloquence is more poten tial than in this country. We say true eloquence, because the Ameri can people are generally so well edncated and intelligent, and there are so many good speakers among those who have not received the honors of any literary institution, that public speaking most be far above mediocriiy. otherwise it will exercise but little, if any, in fluence over the public mind. Our people have become very exacting, and demand ef forts of a high order from the Pulpit, the Bar, the Rostrum and the Halls of Legislation, bnt when such efforts are made*they never fail to make impression and leave their mark. The above remarks have been suggested by reading a volume recently issued, entitled •‘Resolutions ol William Wilberforce by, John S. Harford.” Mr. Wilberiorce was a remark able man, noble patriot and great philanthro pist. The following extract will be read with interest and prottt by all who have aspirations for a higher life: “The conversation happening on one of the days of his slay with us to turn upon public speaking, Mr. Wilberforce made some forcible remarks upon the influence which a man ol ablily aud judgment may acquire by cultlvat lag this talent. Thence he proceeded to di late upon speaking in Parliament and the beet mode of preparation lor it. Were he giving counsel, he said, to a young Member, he would particularly caution him against court ing applause at the outset of his career, by ambitiously aiming to make what is called a duo speech. Should the attempt prove suectss ml, such au undue estimate might probably be formed of the speaker's abilities as wouid ren der his subsequent and less studied efforts failures. Or suoyld he unfortunately break down—a case by no means uncommon under such circumstances—vexation and disappoint ment might possibly seal his lips forever.— l'here Was ho better preparation, he added. idt the style of speaking most adapted to the House than a diligent attendance on commit ees, and a carelul attention to the details ol business-and evidence which come before nem.

Tour readers may recollect one Clark, who appeared in Portland last summer, and an nounced himself authorized to engage persons for that service. Mayor McLellan (a live man) “smelling a very large mice,” at once telegraphed Gov. Cony to see If any person had a right to run men, liable to military duty, out of the State on any pretence whatever. The Governor telegraphed the Secretary of War to see what it all meant. Secretary Stanton re plied that Clark bad no authority for his course aud that he was probably some crimping agent and that we had a right to proceed against him according to our laws, although the De partment could not prevent his hiring men, if they were Bimple enough to trust him. Clark was according arrested, and shortly afterwards hustled unceremoniously out of the State. The sequel proves the wisdom of the views then entertained by those in authority. Dr. Geo.

Farrington for trespass, (reported Saturday) the jury returned a verdict for de fendant. J. O’Donnell. p. Barnes. After hearing motions, Ac., court adjourn ed to Monday morning. Solders’ Home. The following named Soldiers were admitted and left the Portland Soldiers’ Home lor the week ending Jan. 21st: Admitted—John W. Emery, Co. B, 26th Maes.; Samuel Andrews, Co. 6, 6th Me; John Wentworth,Co. F, 331 Mass.; Samuel Copps, Co. E, 11th Me; Seth Williams, Co. D, 179tH N. Y.; James H. Towle, Co. L. 1st Me. Heavy Artillery; Austin Cunningham, Co. C, 19ih Me. Four left for their homes, and John Went worth left for Hospital, Mass. W. H. Plummer, Agent. Six o’clock Precisely.—At the above i hour Saturday evening the “Local*” of the j several papers in our city sat down to a splen did supper at Barnum’s to which they were invited by Wm. E. Morris, Recorder of our Municipal Court. Now these “Locals” are much Indebted to our worthy and systematic Recorder who has for years been a good schoolmaster for them, teaching them many valuable lessons and educating them up to his standard of politeness and Christian fellowship. What they would have grown into il he had not every morning by precept and example, taught them these lessons, is more than our j philosophy can fathom; but now they behave themselves in a very becoming manner, and are lit to go into “good society.” Forsneh teachings, as well as for the most excellent supper, they owe the Recorder a great debt of gratitude which we hope they will be able to pay at some future period. The table was spread in Barnum’s best style, and the ad mirably cooked viands could not fail to satisfy the most epicurean taste. Barnum’s establish ment is a credit to our city, and we are not ashamed to direct strangers to it, however fastidious in taste or refined in manners they may be. Success to Barnum. Fast Driving—Inhumanity.—Saturday afternoon a team driving very fast at the junction of Exchange and Federal street, ran into a sleigh containing Mrs. John Kings bury and a lad. The sleigh was upset and damaged and Mrs. Kingsbury was very seri ously injured. The driver of the team that ran into the sleigh did not stop to see what damage he had occasioned or what injuries had been inflicted, but drove off as fast as pos sible. We are informed that he is known, and that the penalties oi the law Will be inflicted on him. Another case occurred in Congress street Saturday. One of the faot drivers ran into a pang, upset it and drove off without stopping to inquire into the damage done. The truth is, there is more fast driving in our public streets this winter than has ever been seen be fore, and we trust the police will bring the offenders to justice. Sixth Lecture—Independent Courbe. This lecture will be delivered this evening at City Hall, by Hon. A. H. Bullock, Speaker of the House, Mass. Legislature. The subject is The present War and Heroic Epoch.” The theme is a fruitful one and will give the lectu rer lull scope for his oratorical powers, which are of the first orders. Onr readers may-ex pect to hear a lecture of uncommon merit, and square up to the times. If any one has ne glected to secure a ticket, we advise him to get one without delay. We have a strong im pression that vacant seats will not be easily found in the Hall this evening. Shaw’s Quar tette will furnish some spendid music f or the occasion. A great congregation will greet the lecturer. _ Caledonian Ball.—The preparations making for the Grand Scottish Ball, at the City Hall to-morrow evening are extensive and it will be carried oat with magnificence. Representatives from the Philadelphia, New York and Boston Clubs, are expected to be present in full Highland costume, and onr army and navy officers will be in full uniform. Although the ball is got up by the Portland Burns Association in commemoration of their first anniversary, it will not be exclusively Scotch, but will be participated in by others who may wish to join in the festivity. We noticed Saturday at Boyd’s establish ment some beautiful Scotch costumes which are being got up for this occasion. Abskbt.—Some substitute brokers from Boston put in a lot of men at Augusta last Friday, numbering near thirty, all of whom re ceived their bounty, the brokers sharing with them, probably. Friday night about all of these men escaped from the camp. As it was supposed there was some collusion between the brokers and the bounty jumpers, a dis patch was sent from Augusta to our City Mar shall to arrest one of the brokers, describing him. Deputy Marshall Wentworth, accord ingly, arrested a man named James F. Sulli van of Boston, in the cars as he was bound home. He was committed to jail and will be taken to Augusta to-day. Dioramas.—The third exhibition of the Dioramas will come ofl this evening at Deer ing Hall. The leading gift will be a sofa.— There was a large attendance both Saturday atteruoo'i and evening, and the arrangements for entrance were much better than on Friday evening. There was no crowd around the doors. The exhibition is a pleasing one and abounds in interesting scenes. We Jearn that the manager will pay -the TffeSaurer of the Soldiers’ Horae, to-day, fifty dollars as the net proceeds of the two ex hibitions already given. Attempt of a Bounty Jumper to Es capk.—Saturday, as the Augusta train was approaching Dresden at rather a slow pace, having on board a number of soldiers bound to the frout, one of them jumped off and made for the river. The guard pursued him and fired at him three times. At the last fire he was seen to drop. He was brought on board the cars, which had backed for that purpose, when it was found that he had not been hit. Ho will he well guarded until he takes his position in the army corps. Sale of Stocks, *c.—E. M. Patten sola at auction Saturday, $7600 York Cumber land Railroad Consolidated bonds at 10 1-2 a 11 1 2 including the interest accrued; $1000 U, S. 5-20s 1081 2; $2000 U.

Board of Trade.—An adjourned meet ing will be held at 7 1-2 o’clock this evening, before which important business will come, and a general attendance is, therefore request ed. Shocking Death.—While an Irishman named Alligat, employed at Palmer Mass., to saw wood by horse power for the Western railroad, was engaged Monday in feeding the taw, the platform upon which the horse went into the machine was blown upon him in such way as to throw him directly upon the rer voicing saw. He was instantly killed, the saw entering his head and scattering his brains in every direction. Pbovost Mabshai.’s Office.—Saturday one representative recruit and one substitute were put in for Cape Elizabeth; also one re cruit for Limington and one substitute for Acton. Twenty-three enrolled men were examined by the Surgeon, ten of whom were exempted for disabilities. Sailing of the Steamer.—Steamship Nova Scotian, Capt. Wylie, sailed from this port for Liverpool at 6 o’clock, Saturday evening with 26 cabin and 25 steerage pas sengers and a valuable Cargo. The Moravian, Capt. Aiton, will sail on Saturday next. Fort Preble.—Major Levi C. Bootes, for merly of the 6th U. S. Infantry has assumed command at Fort Preble, viee Maj. Andrews, transferred to Newport, Kentucky. Major Bootes is a native of the District of Columbia. He assumed the command at Fort Preble last Monday. Rev. Mb. Walton.—This gentleman has handed us an article of some length, drawn out by the recent discussion which has grown out of the Bethel Church Council, which we are compelled—much to onr regret—to defer till to-morrow. Horse Drowned.—A valuable family horse belonging to Robert Davis, esq., of Ban gor, says the Whig, escaped from a stable in Milford, Tuesday morning, started across the ice for home, broke through a thin place and was drowned. Stampede.—Friday night thirty-eight sol diers escaped from tho camp at Augusta.— A number of them were retaken Saturday morning. It would seem that the guard at the camp in thatclty must be rather Inefficient, or too small. The Lady’s Book for February Is a splen did number. It has been received at the bookstores of Messrs. Bailey Noyes and Ball L. Davis, Exchange street, Sabbe Zouaves.—The second assembly of tbe Sabre Zouaves will be held this evening, Jan. 23d, at Mechanic’s Hall. Tickets can be had of the managers. “Willard's,” at Washington; “Metro politan” and “Fifth Avenue,” at New York, and many other first class hotels use Bur nett’s celebrated Extracts for flavoring. The American Illustrated newspapers for his week have been received at the book and periodical store of A. Robinson, No. 51 Ex change street. Foreign Exports.—The value of foreign exports from tills port last week amounted to H96;706.34. We are indebted to Hon. George W. Wood man for a copy of the Register of the Senate of Maine fur the year 1865. The first Assembly of Ex-No. 9, will be this evening at Lincoln Hall, Munjoy Hill. Legislature of ITluine. Augusta, Jan. 20. SENATE. A bill was reported to supply the inhabi tants of the city of Bangor with pure water. Hon. N. G. Hichborn signified his accept ance of the office of State Treasurer, and transmitted his official bond. The bond was referred. The Reciprocity Treaty resolve was dis cussed, but no action was taken. house. Orders were adopted inquiring what legis lation is necessary to enable inhabitants of plantation! organized for election purposes, to vote at State and Presidential elections; also what isneoissary to facilitate the sale of timber and lumber for the Seminaries to which aid was granted last winter. Mr. Dingley of Lewiston presented a series of resolutions in favor of the amendment to the National Constitution abolishing slavery. He moved to suspend the rules and put the resolves on their passage now. After a long debate this was agreed to by a yea and nay vote—yeas 98, nays 14. Mr. Payson of Westbrook then addressed the House at length iu opposition to the re solves, making a most virulent copperhead speech, contending as he avowed for the most extreme doctrine of State right. The resolves were then passed without a division. The Committee on Elections reported against the right of Mr. Jordan of Berwick, to a seat in the House, and in favor of Mr. Wm. F. Lord. A minority report was also presented. The documents were ordered to be printed. Bills were reported incorporating the Lord Brook Dam Company, and amending the charter of the East Branch Mattawamkeag Dam Company. Prisoners.—We are informed that the fol lowing members of Baker’s Cavalry are now iu Danville prison, having been captured by the rebels. They are supposed to belong in this State:—Augustus Weeks, Patrick Bre nan, James H. Meserve, Cyrus T. Bassett, Eli jah L. Merrill, Horace W. Varney, Morris L. Morse, Samuel Plummer, Clement P. Plum mer, George Stevens. (yin Oxford, N. H., is a tombstone on which is the following epitaph “To all my fri':nda I bid adieu, A more sudden death you never knew; as 1 was 1 adine the old mare to drink. She kicked and killed me qn:eker’n wink." tyThe New York Evening Post frankly and honestly confesses that its arguments for the abolition of the paper duty lie against all du ties, and that for thirty years it has been the ad vocate of entire fret trade, which is the very thing it is now aiming at. jy The important geographical disoovery has recently been made that the river Amazon is navigable from its mouth to ivs source, opening in fact, a new route between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The Morona, a Peruvian steam er, which was sent to explore the Amazon, has arrived at Mayro, about 300 miles from Lima. The Morona navigated more than 3000 miles of the Amazon proper, and 600 of the Yeayali and the Paohitea Rivers, which, until then, had seen only Indian canoes. The country is, of course, inhabited only by savages, but it is of wonderful fertility. ty The Washington Chronicle says: “We have no sympathy for that excessive squeam ishness that seeks to screen from the public eye what has been a man’s income, lest it may bear its proportion of the great burden of war while men are perilling life itself in the cause of the country. We believe,too, not only in an honest exposure of these eflorts to defraud the revenue, but in a prompt punishment of them. Let an indignant public opinion and the stern retribu tion of the law fall heavily upon every man who is found defrauding the revenue in this great national emergency, when men are so freely giving both life and fortune to the service of their country."

Movements of Gen. Grant Federal Troops Reported at Wilmington Attempt of the Rebels to Bum their Cotton. Baltimore, Jan. 22. A special dispatch to the American, dated Annapolis, Jan. 51st, save, Gen. Grant ar rived here to-day in his flag boat the If. Mar tin. The General left at 11 o’clock for Wash ington. He is reported to have said that a deserter came into the lines of Gen. Terry, who reported that tho rebels were evacuating Wilmington, after having set Are to some $30, 000 worth of cotton, but that our troops were bo near at hand as to prevent the destruction of It. A bearer of dispatches has also arrived in the gunboat Queen from Admiral Porter, and proceeded to Washington.” Gen. Thomas’ 4rm|/. Cairo, 111., Jan. 21. The present indications are that Gen. Thomas’ army will not soon move from its present position on the Tennessee River, as Winter quarters are being constructed, If T8LESMPB TOTH* Portland Daily Pres*.

THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. Arrival of the Canada at Halifax. Halifax, N. 8., Jan. 22. The steamship Canada, from Liverpool 7th, via Queenstown 8th, for Boston, arrived here at 11 1-2 o’clock to-night. The steamships City of Limerick and City of Cork, from New York, arrived out on the 5th Inst., and the Cuba on the 7th. GREAT BRITAIN. The Army and Navy Gazette says the Canadian difficulty will in all probability lapse but not harmlessly. The display of at tachment to Great Britain, and the patriotic zeal which recent events have called forth, will add to the many sources of irritation which the contest in America has opened and will transfer to the Canadians a full share of the overflowing animosity with which Great Britain is regarded by the mass of the North ern people, but the Canadians have established fresh claims to imperial sympathy and sup port. Capt. Corbett, commander of the steamer Sea King, alias Shenandoah, was brought be fore a magistrate in London on the 5tb, charg ed with having enlisted, or attempted to enlist, British subjects for service in the Confederate navy. The solicitor who appeared on behalf of the government to prosecute,states the case against the prisoner, who took the vessel to Madeira, and there announced to the crew that she was intended and sold for a cruiser, aud enticed them to enlist in their service.— Evidence was given in support of the prose cution, when the case was remanded, the pris oner being admitted to bail in £500 pounds, and two sureties of £2,500each. The Richmond correspondent of the Lon don Times, writing Nov. 27lh, and Dec. 5th, asserts that never since the commencement of the war was there more serene confidence en tertained abont the safety of Bichmond and Petersburg. He also affirms that never was there greater confidence and hopefulness en tertained in reference to the present and fu ture of secessia. The Times likewise furnishes a letter from Spence, its secession correspondent at Liver pool, bolstering up the rebel cause, and at tempting to show that the North has gained nothing of importance daring the past year.— He believes that the South will call out the negroes, and points to Gen. Lee as the proba ble successor of Jeff. Davis. The North Journal, Lloyd’s and Hamburg American companies are each building a new steamer in England with a view to the main-, tainence of regular weekly lines between New York, Southampton, Ac. Another evidence of Queen Victoria’s re sumption of her public functions is the fact that she has commanded all ships of war to recommence firing salutes when passing Os born during her stay there. It is announced that Sir W. Mansfield is the commander-in chief in India, vice Sir Hugh Rose, who will probably get the command of the forces in Ireland. FRANCE. The weekly returns of the Bank of France show a decrease in cash on hand of Dearly 30, 100,000 francs. It is reported that Prince Napoleon will visit Turin, returning to Paris in February in com pany with the King of Italy. The Bourse on the 6th was unsettled but closed firmer at 66F. 85c. ITALY. The committee of inquiry in the disturbances of last September at Turin, have presented a report to the Chamber of Deputies, the pur port of which is not stated. A new Italian loan of six millions sterling, has been contracted with several financial companies on the security of the state do mains. It is stated that the Pope intends sending a hat and sword blessed as is the eustom before the Christmas mass, to the Emperor of Mexico. Latest via QueenstowB. Political news to-day unimportant. The Cubas news of the tall of Savannah, Ac., was received this afternoon caused consider able excitement, but received too late to de velop much effect. The King of Portugal opened the cortege on the 2d inst. He said the budget would show no defict, and promised sundry meas ures for regulating commerce. He also stated that the Portuguese minister at Lon don was expected to amicably arrange the dif ficulty between England and Brazil. He also thought that the accession of Maximillian to the Mexican crown would lead to important commercial relations between Portugal and Mexico. The Spanish Cortez has elected Senior Alexandra Castro, President of the House. The Paris Pays asserts that Gen. Parker carries to Peru the following instructions:— The Peruvian authorities shall disavow all participation in the outrage on the envoy sent irom Spain and upon Spanish subjects, and shall take judicial proceedings against the authors of the violences. Immediately after prosecution is commenced, Spain without waiting the result, will restore the Chinchas. The republic shall subsequently send a pleni potentiary to Madrid to conclude a treaty of commence and amity between the two coun tries. The Madrid correspondence says if it is true that Spain demands the restoration of the Chinchas before granting satisfaction, a con flict is unavoidable. The Bombay mail of Dec. 13th, has arrived. The news has been generally anticipated. The whole territory of Rokan has been taken by the Russians, who were said to be prepar ing to march against Toorkistan. From Fort Fisher—Fort Caswell and Rebel Vessels Destroyed. New York, Jan. 22. The Herald’s Fort Fisher correspondence says the 169th and 115th New York and 4th N. H., regiments, were near the magazine which exploded in Fort Fisher. Between 100 and 200 lives were lost. No list has as yet been furnished. At an early hour on the 16th, our gunboats went up Cape Fear river to a post opposite Cape Fisher. Several torpedoes were found in the river connecting with the fort. At one A. M., on the 7th, the enemy va cated and blew up Fort Caswell. They also destroyed several large vessels in the river, supposed to be blockade runners. Stores are being conveyed to the fort from our transport fleet. From the Gulf Coast. New Yobk Jan. 22. The Herald’s New Orleans correspondence of the 12th says the British barque John Bull was lost in a gale off the mouth of the Rio Grande, with 1395 bales of cotton. Six hundred of the 800 rebel prisoners cap tured at Fort Gaines have been exchanged in Mobile Harbor. The remainder have died or took the oath of allegiance. The steamer Waverley was in Mobile harbor ready to sail with fifteen bales of cotton, to be sold for the benefit of rebel prisoners in our hands. The Case of Burleigh—British Gunboats to be Sent to the Lakes. Tobonto, C. W., Jan. 21. The course taken in regard to Burleigh is his recommittal to prison. The Court informs the Governor General of this decision, his Ex cellency alone being able to order his extradi tion. Before this is done the prisoner’s coun cel will probably get a writ of habeas corpus, and the case wlU be brought before a full Court of Common Pleas of the Queen’s bench dr any single Judge of those Courts II the judg ment given is wrong Burleigh will be released, if right will be recommitted to await the Gov ernor’s order of extradition. Should the judges order the release of prisoner, which h considered most improbable, Burleigh would probably be rearrested for violation of the neutrality treaty. If judgment is confirmed the prisoner’s extradition will be ordered by the Governor General, though friends of the prisoner talk of appealing to the Privy Coun cil of England, but it is said that the decision of the court here will be final. The Leader of to-day says the British Gov ernment have ordered thirty gunboats, carry ing 3500 men, to be sent out from England to the Lakes, and they will be here as soon as navigation opens. From Brazil and Uruguay. New Yobk, Jan. 22. The Herald’s Buenos Ayres correspondence says the Indians are becoming bold in their incursions, approaching near the city and driving off immense hordes of cattle, horses a°There were marvellous discoveries of gold in the Province of San J nan. Affairs at Urugury are still deplorable. Be sides the encroachments of Brazil the rebels under Flores are devastating the country. It Is said that the Brazilians have given up their plans of conquest for the present, and will maintain merely a defensive position on the border. FROM WASHINGTON. From the Army before Richmond— Rose in the Attack on Fort Fisher Movements of Gen. Sherman’s Army—Burning of Rebel Government Cotton. Washington, Jaa. 21. Information from the army of the Potomac states that considerable firing took place in front of Petersburg near the Appotomaz, ou Friday morning, but with what result is not known. About forty-one deserters came into our lines on Thursday, many of them being in a sad state of destitution. Reports are current of the evacuation of the city of Petersburg. The rebels appeared very jubilant over something Thursday night, as they indulged extensively in cheering, bell ringing, &c., for hours. Admiral Porter, in his detailed report of the attack on Fort Fisher, gives the total number of naval officers killed and wounded at twen ty-one, and of others killed, wounded and misBing, including those by the explosion, at 309. He states that the rebels have blown up Fort Caswell, and the rebel steamers Talla hassee and Chickamauga, and that he will be in Wilmington before long. Since the first of January 520 rebel desert ers, all of whom came within the lines of the armies of the Potomac and James, have passed through Washington. Richmond papers of the 20th have the fol lowing items: Charleston, Jan. 17.—We have nothing di rect from Gen. Wheeler. One of the line of ficers from below McBrides’ brigade yester day morning, report that a corps had crossed at Port Royal. The Courier says there was cavalry, artil lery and infantry coming from Coosawatchie. The forces of the enemy are believed to be concentrating above McPbersonville. Charleston, Jan. 19.—The enemy made a move in the direction of the Cambahee River yesterday. All is quiet to-day. The Richmond Wnig reports a destructive fire at Augusta, Ga., on Sunday night, burn ing over 400 bales of cotton. On Monday evening another fire occurred at Hamburg, opposite Augusta, burning from 1500 to 2000 bales of cotton belonging to the rebel Govern ment. xue examiner or me zutn says there have been some recent dispositions of rebel troops in the west and south, details of which at this time it would be inadvisable to furnish. The Charleston (S. C.) Mercury states that a large number of reinforcements had arrived in that city. The resolutions of the rebel Senate creating the office of commander in chief of all the ar mies of the rebel States, and recommending Gen. Johnson to be reinstated, has been pass ed in that branch of the rebel Congress. This will, if carried into effect, make Lee comman der-in-chief of all the rebel armies. Railroad bridge, Oconee River, Ga., report ed having been finished, passenger trains would soon pass over. Washington, Jan. 22. Fifteen thousand dollars worth of new three cent currency will be issued from the treasury to morraw, and for some days thereafter about half that amount will be put into circulation. Richmond to he Destroyed before belny Evacu ated—War Items. New York, Jan. 22. The Sunday papers are almost barren of news. The Herald’s Shenandoah Valley corres pondent, says an intelligent gentlemen of Madi son county, who recently visited Richmond, states that hel conversed with government officers who told him that the holdingof Rich mond for any considerable time was despaired of by Davis and Lee, and that the public ar chieves not necessary for immediate use, are being sent into the interior of the south.— Hundreds of families have removed to North Carolina and Georgia, on a hint from officials. The whole city is Baid to be in a process of mining, and Davis is determined that Rich mond shall not fall into our hands except as a heap of ruins. Intelligence from up the Shenandoah Val ley, represents that there is great suffering there from the impoverishment of the country. The rebel forces were still in the neighbor hood of Newmarket aod Staunton, subsisting as they do upon the citizens there, their pres ence is only calculated to increase the suffer ing. Brig. Gen. Fessenden has succeeded Col. Edwards of the 37th Mass., as commander of the post as Winchester. The railroad between Winchester and Har per’s Ferry, is In good order, and trains run regularly. The good conduct of the people of Savan nah after coming under the old flag again, has had its effect here. People who had hereto fore been warm supporters of the rebellion, have recently shown a material change. Great preparations have been made to re tain Harper’s Ferry as a great Military depot. In consequence of great family affletions, Gen. Wm. H. Powell tendered his resignation some time since. A protest against its ac ceptance was sent to Washington, but the necessity was so great that Gen. P., urged its acceptance, and the War Department has finally accepted it to the great regret of the army. He has proved an excellent officer. The Richmond Despatch accounts for the great rise in gold by the fact that the pro perty of refugees is being sold to escape con fiscation, and then the rebel currency is con verted into gold at|auy price; also that the negroes who have been hoarding the rebel currency, are selling it off. In the rebel Senate a resolution was adopted to inquire into the treatment of prisoners of war on both sides. Gen. Early has made an earnest protest against the charge of the committee to inquire into his drunkenness. He challenges any one to prove that he was ever drunk in camp, on the march, or in battle. He claims that he whipped the enemy twice, and was whipped himself twice, and the last time if his troops had stood, they would have won the rubber. A bill has been introduced in the rebel con gress to consolidate depleted companies, bat talions and regiments. Proceedings of the Missouri Convention. St. Louis, Jan. 21. The Convention passed yesterday in the committee of the Whole by nearly a unani mous vote, the 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th sections of the bill of rights, as follows: The 4th section asserts that all political power vested in, and was served from the peo ple, all government of rights originates from the people, founded on their will only, and in stituted for the good of Lhe whole. The 6th that this State shall ever remain a member of the American Union, and all at tempts from whatever source, upon whatever pretext, to dissolve said nation ought to be re sisted with the whole power of the State. The 7th section that every citizen of this State owes paramount allegiance to the Con stitution and Government of the United States, and no law or ordinance of this State, in con vention thereof, can have any binding force. An ordinance has been introduced confiscat ing the property of rebels engaged in overt acts, and asking Congress for release claims of United States to confiscate rebel property in the State of Missouri. The Xetc Process for Manufacturing Print inn Paper. New York, Jan. 22. In a fortnight or less the Austrian patent for making paper out of corn husks will be thor oughly tested in this country. If the experi ment suceeds according to expectation, steps will be immediately taken to manufacture printing paper on an extensive scale by the new process. It would be well for farmers to carefully Bave ail the corn husks now in their possession and stop feeding them to their cat tle, as they may command a high price within a few weeks if delivered at railroad stations, as it requires little in expensive changes of machinery to adapt the present paper mills to the manufacture of busk paper. It is the in tention of the American owners of the patent to contract with mills on liberal terms to make paper of all grades out of the new material. From Fortress Monroe. New Yoke, Jan. 22. The Herald’s Fortress Monroe correspon dence of the 18th, says 000 rebel officers and men went up to Aiken’s Landing on that day, to be exchanged for a like number of Union prisoners.

MISCELLANY. How to Dress for a Photograph. A lady or gentleman, having made up her or hi* mind to be photographed, naturally considers, in th« first place, how to be drw*®d so as to show off to the best advantage. This is by no means such an unimportant niatter at many might imagine. Let me a lew words of advice touching dress. Orange col or, for certain optical reasons, f»> photographi cally, black. Blue is whit.; other shades or tones of color are prnPortlonaUy darker or lighter as they contain more or less of these colors. The progressive scale of photographic color commenc®8 with the lightest. The order stands thus.' white, light-blue, violet, pink, mauve, dark-blue, lemon, blue-green, leather brown, drab, cerise, megeuts, yellow-greeD, dark-brown, purple, red, amber, maroon, ot ange, dead black. Complexion has to be much considered in connection with dress. Blondes can wear much lighter colon than brunettes; the latter always present better pictures in dark dresses, but neither look well in positive white. Violent contrasts of color should be especially guarded against. In photography, brunettes possess a great advantage over their fairer staters. The lovely golden tresses lose all their transparent brilliancy, and are represented black; whilst the “bonnle blue e’e," tberno of rapture to the poet, Is misery to the photographer, for It is put entirely out. Tns simplest and most effective way of remov ing the yellow color from the hair, is to pow der it nearly white; It Is thus brought to about the a&me photographic tint as in nature. The same rule, of course, applies to complex loos. A freckle quite invisible at a short dis tance, is, on account of its yellow color, reudered most painfully distiuet when photo graphed. The puff box must be called In to the assistance of art. Here let me intrude one word of general advice. Blue, as we have aeen, is the most readily affected by light, aud yellow the least; If, therefore, you would keep your complexion clear and free from tan freckles whilst taking your delightful rambles at the sea-side, discard by all means the blue veil, and substantiate a dark green or yellow one in its stead. BluetuUe offers no more ob struction to the actinic rays of the sun than white. Half a yard of yellow net, though perhaps not very becoming, will be found more efficacious and considerably cheaper than a quart of kalydor.—[Ail the Year Bound. A t T v. _ _ vuguv uauioo bO OK&ier A correspondent of a Connecticut paper sets his face against skating by ladies on this wise: The practice of skating by females cannot be denounced in too strong terms; their for mation forbids such violent and peculiar mo tion. 1 should as soon think of permitting a daughter to play base bah lor exercise. The evil consequences to young ladies, resulting from the practice of skating, are beginning to be rea'lzed. We are informed that nearly ev ery physician cap bear b*aiimony against the amusement as far as they are concerned. There are only occasional4'deaths by drown ing; but it is believed that where oueliteis lost iu this way, there are hundreds of lemales whose sickness and death could be traced to the effect* of skating. The practice of putting skates upon children in our parlors, is equally injurious and therefore cruel. I cannot be lieve that any lady in our town would ever again put on skates, were she aware of the in jury to which she is liable In consequence. As so many proofs can be given against this exer cise by females, I hope the time is not far dis tant when this masculine amusement will be abandoned by our young ladles.
