WORDS.Words are lighter than the cloud foam

Of the restless oceon spray ;Vainer than the trembling shadow

Thai the next hour steals away ;By the fail of Summer rain-drops

Is the air us deeply stirred :And the rose-leaf that we tread on

Will outlive a word.

Yet on the dull silence breakingWith a lightning Hash a word,

Bearing endless desolationOn its lightning wings, 1 heard

Earth can forge no keener weapon,Dealing surer death and pain,

And the cruel echo answerpdThrough long years again.

I have known one word hang slar-likeO'er a dreaiy waste of years,

And it only shone the brighterLooked at through a mist of tears,

While a weary wanderer gatheredHope and heart on life's dark way,

By its faithful promise shi1.Clearer day by day,

I have known a spirit calmerThan the calmest lake, and elenr

As the heavens that gazed upon it,With no wave of hope or fear ;

But a storm had ssvopt across it,And its deepest depths were stirred,

Kever, never ruore to slumber,Only by a word.

I have known a word more gentleTttan the breath of Summer air—

In a listening heart it nestled,And it lived forever there.

Not the Seating of its prisonStirred it ever, night or day ;

Only with the heart's last throbbingCould it fade away.

Words are mighty, words are living;Serpents, with their venoined Ktings,

Or bright angels, crowding round usWith heaven's light upon their wings.

Every word lias its own spirit,True or false, that never dies ;

Every word man's lips have utteredEchoes in God's skies.

The Defenses of Savannah.From the Savannah News, Jan. 19.

We made aa excursion on Saturday toFort Jackson ami several of our riverbatteries, and were highly gratified atthe high coudition of preparedness inwhich we found them. Since our riverdefenses have been placed under the im-mediate command of Col. Edward C.Anderson, not only have man}- improve-ments been made in the works the.rselves,greatly increasing their strength andeffectiveness, and promoting the healthand comfort of the troops, but a uniformsystem of drill and discipline has beenadopted, which has already been pro-ductive of the most beneficial results. I twould bo improper to speak more par-ticularly of the improvements that havebeen made in our river defenses, but asthe enemy no doubt entertains a suspicionthat timo for preparation has not beenunimproved, there will be no harm in as-suring them, that whenever they test thematter, their highest expectations will bemore than realized.

We visited the Leo and Lawton bat-teries, and found the works in " t ip top"order, and the quarters of the men or-derly, clean and comfortable. At theLee battery the men were drilling at theheavy guns, exhibiting an alacrity andskillful-ness in the management of theirpieces, and the systematic precision ofmovement which would have been credi-table even to veteran gunners. From theLee battery we crossed to the Lawtonbattery, commanded by Capt. Eillups,where, after a most interesting drill, wewitnessed some target firing, which de-monstrated the wonderful precision whichhas been attained by our Georgia boys,in directing shell and round shot fromthese

Mortal engines whose rude throatsThe immortal Jove's dread clamors counter-

feit."The target, about the size of a soldier's

blanket, was placed on the opposite sideof the river, distant about three-quartersof a mile frcm the battery, and of thetwelve or fifteen shells and solid shotfired not one would have failed to takeeffect upon a pilot boat. One ball struckthe target, and every shot and shell wasdelivered within a few feet of it. Shellswere exploded so close to the target asto partially cover it with earth and a logthat lay close by it was splintered andtorn by the fragments of the slrells.

The firing was under the direction ofColonel Anderson, who, besides desiringto give the men a Ittlo practice, wishedto make some practical tests of elevationsand the quality of his powder and shell.Some beautiful ricockpl shots were madewith shells, which, after the reboundfrom the water, exploded at the point ofaim. Every shell except ono, whichmade a second ricochet in the marsh mud,exploded. We observed that ColonelAnderson required every man at the gunsto sight the piece, thus giving each manan opportunity to test his skill in artil-lery marksmanship. As nearly all ourGeorgia troops are good marksmen withthe rifle, with a little practice they soonbecome equally reliable with the cannon,so that in action the efficiency of a gundoes not depend upon a single gunner.

The New Yorkers are going toimport ice tho coming season. I t ispaid that a large number of vessels havebeen chartered to bring ice from Nor-way and Sweden—whoro there is hard-ly anything but ice—and also from theSt. Lawrence Biter,

TiOgers' Door.We extract from the able and inter-

esting report of Thomas U. Walker;LL. D,, United States Architect of theCapitol extension, the following descrip-tion of the bronze door designed by theMichigan sculptor, Mr. Randolph Rog-ers, for that building:

" The bronze door ordered of Mr.Randolph Rogers was completed morethan a year ago, aud remains at Munich,awaiting tho orders of tho government.The sum of (164,29 has been paid on ac-count of it, and it will require aboutSl'2,000 to pay tho balance duo upon it,including interest, storage, aud other ex-penses, to this date.

" This door is composed entirely ofbronze, back and front, and is said to bethe only work of the kind in the worldwhich is thus constructed; its weight is20,000 lbs. The leading subject of itsembellishments is the history of Colum-bus. I t hns two valves, with four pane' •in each valve, and oue semicircular panelover the transom. The first panel (be-ginning at the bottom of tho loft handvalve) contains a 6Cene representing Co-lumbus before the council of Salamanca;the second panel, his leaving the conventof La Rabida; the third panel, his audionce before Ferdinand and Isabella; thefourth panel, his departure from Palos;the semi-circular panel over the transompresents his first landing at San Salvador;the fifth panel hi.s first encounter withthe Indians on the Island of Hispaniola ;the sixth panel, his triumphal entry intoBarcelona; the scene in the seventhpanel represents him a prisoner in chainsabout to be sent back to Spain ; and theeighth panel contains a sr 3ne representinghis death. There are sixteen small nichesin the border or frame around the door,in which are sixteen statuettes represent-ing distinguished cotemporarics of Co-lumbus, and between the panels arc headsrepresenting historians who have writtenon his voyages from his own time downto the present day, ending with Irvingand Prescott. Crowning tho door is abust of Columbus. The ornaments arechiefly emblematic of conquest aud navi-gation."

This door was originally intended tobe put up between the old Hall of Rep-resentatives ai;d the corridor leading tothe South wing. Mr. Walter, however,recommends that it be placed in the east-ern front of the center building, and bemade to constitute the principal entranceto tho Capitol. In this situation itselaborate decorations would be seen toadvantage, having the benefit of light andshade, and there would be nothing toprevent its occasionally remaining; closed.

A N EDITOR.—The component parts ofan editor are defined thus : The consti-tution of a horse, obstinacy of a mule,independence of a wood-sawyer, pertinac-ity of a dun, endurance of a starving an-aconda, impudence of a beggar, and anentire resignation to the mos: confoundedof all earthly tread^mills ; and he mustbe a moving target for everybody toshoot at, and is expected to know every-thing, and to assist " busybodies " to pryinto the business of their neighbors. Ifhe does not come up to this description,he cannot be thought a "r/ood editor,'" andis obliged from want of support to closewith the followiug valedictory : The un-dersigned retires from the editorial chairwith a complete conviction that all isvanity. From the hour he started thispaper to the present-time, he has beensolicited to lie upon every subject, andcan't remember ever having told a whole-some truth without diminishing his subscription list, or making an enemy. Un-der these circumstances of trial, aud hav-ing acquired a thorough contempt forhimself, he retires in order to recruit hismoral constitution.

WHAT WE ARE COMINO TO.—Old Dr.Witherspoon, one of the signers of theDeclaration of Independence, in allu-ding to the era of continental money,spoke of it as a time " when creditorswere seen running away from theirdebtors, the debtors pursuing themin triumph and paying them withoutmercy." I t i.s clear that the legal ten-der note scheme is rapidly bringingabout this very state ot affairs again —Debts which were contracted at thegold standard, with tho expectation onthe part of the creditor—founded uponthe good faith of the government—thatthis-standard would be adhered to, will,undor the unjust operation of an act ofCongress, be liquidated by papermoney that is now depreciated tliirtv-threo per cent, and may yet bo at "adiscount of fifty per cent., or even more.This, of course, is simply legalized in-justice and cannot fail to prove disas-trous to all legitimate interests. Wid-ows, orphans, poor people, and personsof small means, who had their little allinvested in mortgages, bonds', stocksand savings banks, will lose half theirproperty by the depreciation of thecurrency; "their debtors will pursuethem in triumph and pay them withoutmercy."

REED PAPKR—Tho editor of theChicago Journal has seen a sample ofpaper made from reeds, vvhich grew onthe North Carolina coast. Its bodyi.s almost as good as tho best bookprinting paper, being a clear cream-color, ana a smooth and perfect finish.It is a better quality of paper than anymanufacture!] from sorghum, pino sha-vings, or any substance except rags.

FAIKFAX COURT HotJBB, Ya.. V

January 31.st, 1803.)

FKIKXD POND : —

Having promised to keep you postedas to tho movements of our regiment, Inow, after the arduous duties of tho day,will try and redeem my promise. Abouttwo weeks ago the regiment was startled,but agreeably so, by a command to pre-pare to move to the "front." All washurry, aud I must say confusion ; everything pertaining to the full equipment ofa " Mounted Rifleman " was distributed,and orders given for four days cookedrations (so I had to fly around to getour company's " grub " ready). Thosaddles had to be packed, and the menall ready the next morning. We wereall up to time, when, after consider-able timo being spent in niiilitary move-ments, the question being frequentlyasked by the men, " W here are we go-ing to ?" the company at 3 o'clock, P .M., were ordered to move, and move wedid, but not to the front, but down townto the Government blacksmith shop,where our horses were all shod, nearly100, in the short time of one hour and ahalf. It is a great establishment, em-ploying 176 men, their pay being $45per month and board. The foreman toldme that they could shoe 1500 horses aday. After they were all shod we wereinarched baok to camp fully expecting tomove the next morning. But no, thegloomy faces of the men soon told the"order" was countermanded, though wewere strictly enjoined to have our saddlespacked and be ready at any time.

Well, day after day passed, and noth-ing happened to break the monotony ofcamp life until last week, when we wereordered to clean up and bo ready for in-spection by Major General CASEY. Theeventful morning came that fully foundus in OQPELAND'S brigade, CASEY'S divis-

ion, with the Sixth Michigan Cavalry.—They came over to our parade groundsearly in the morning and formed in lineto the front, we on their rear in open or-der. I t was a splendid sight to the un-initiated, to behold near 2,000 mountedmen formed in battle array, with glitter-ing sabres, each company's guidon float-ing gaudily iu the breeze. Tho scabbadsringing against the spurs made musicthat the horses seemed proud of, by theway they pranced around. As I cast myeye down the long ranks, I wondered tomjself how many of the "poor fellows,now striving to outdo his comrade in ma-king a good appearance, would ever seehome again and the dear ones they haveleft. In a shojt time the bugle pro-claimed that the " Old Hero " had come,tho band commenced playiug, and theGeneral (an old man, by reputation agood soldier though not very graceful inthe saddle) with his staff rode along thefront and rear of the Sixth, and tho samewith us, then took his position and thebrigade passed in review by him, and thoaflair was finished. I heard ho pro-nouueed himself well satisfied with ourregiment. We wore then paraded downand around the city of Washington, andreturned to camp at dusk, well pleasedwith ourselves aud our officers. Sincethen till Sunday all was quiet, when Com-pany K was ordered to bo ready tostart at 7 A M., Monday, as body guardfor General CASEY. Every one wasastir, joy beamed in each man's counten-ance, and the inquiries as to where wewere going? were answered by an orderfrom headquarters to take one day's ra-tions (cooked) and report to GeneralSTOUTON at Fairfax Court House, andthat General CASEY would meet us there,and then we were going on a tour of in-spection of the several regimeuts of hisdivision, reaching to the front at Fred-erioksburg. I t is needless to say theboys were ready. Many of them wereso elated they did not go to bod at all,and as the restriction of "light,? out"was done away with that night, somemight be seen packing up, some writingto dear ones £t home, each busy aboutsomething necessary for the start. Ata quarter to seven, A. M., tho men wereall mounted and equipped.

It may bo interesting to your readersto know what are the equipments of a" Mounted Rifleman " and his horse.—First, there is tho saddle (a MoClcllan)with saddle bags attached, in which arecarried curry combs, brush, and circin-gle and any little things the troopermay want to carry on tho back ar.dfront are strappad on. O ur blankets neat-ly folded in your rubber u Talma;'' onthe sido, fastened to rings, is the sabre,larictt rope, a:id picket pin, watering

bridle and feed bag. A blanket is puton the horse undor tho saddle, and withtho curb bridle and halter finish thohorso equipments. The man has aroundhis waist a largo belt, on which aro hispistol and holster, box with 42 rounds ofrifle cartridge, ditto with 21 of pistoland cap box, while across his shoulder ishung his haversack, containing his rations, consisting of a chunk of boiledsalt pork, thrown in with sorno hard tack,a tough kind of square crackers, thatneed as tough jaws to masticate. Be-sides this there are (for them that arolucky enough to have them) a knife, fork,spoon and cup; across the other shoulderis the over needed canteen, and at theback is slung tiis rifle, Mjfl whole ma-king quite a load to carry, but I thinkmuch preferable to the knapsack (Lin-coln hump as our boj's call them) of in-fantry. You could uot get one of themto be transferred, they liko this arm ofthe service so much bettor. But, sir, Iam running off from what I promised.

Well, I said the men were ready. At7 A. M. we started for the Long Bridge,which we crossed, tho morning veryfoggy. On arriving at the Virginia sidewe wore halted, drawn up in line, andthe order to load given, Captain CLARKtelling us that wo wore not in the safestplace in the world and to be on the alert.Loading being finished we resumed ourmarch. The sun at last penetrates thefog, aud the day becomes beautiful andspring-like. Blue birds chirrup aud theMeadow Lark's pleasant note is heard,while all along the road are seen myriadsof crows, feasting on the carcasses of thehapless horses that have died and beenthrown off the road. Everything on theway plainly indicates the ravages of war;the houses that were once planter's splen-did mansions are now taken possession ofby the soldiers and are fast going to ruin.Not a fence did I see all the way toFairfax, except around a small grave-yard. Ik the road we passed numbersof government wagons, camps, and pick-et guards; iu fact everything is military;did not meet a dozen civilians the wholedistance. We passed Alexandria to theleft and halted at noon to feed. Our Cap-tain in real military style, worthy of anold campaigner, threw out his pickets onan eminence overlooking the country,all dismounted and man and beast re-galed themselves with the fodder theyhad brought with them, and washed itdown with draughts of good water froma stream olose at hand. The meal beingconcluded the bugle sounded, the picketswere drawn in, the men mounted, and weproceeded to Fairfax, arriving at 3 P. BI.the Captain reported to Gen. STOUTONand was ordered to quarter his horsesand men. Our tents are pitched onshort notice, our horses put in sheds, andthe next thing is provisions for men andbeasts.

Soon eame the order for me and Sumnerto draw requisitions and go to FairfaxStation for provisions and feed for thehorses. We swallowed some supper, hadour horses saddled, looked to our armsaud started, the distance being four miles,on a military road, through the pinowoods. It was a dreary ride, much moreso to men that were not used to the coun-try. There were but 3 or 4 houses thewhole distance. More than once did Ifeel for my revolver as I thought I sawthe glimpse of some one in the darkness;but on closer examination it proved tobe nothing but stumps of trees, we finish-ed our mission in safety, and returned tocamp at 10 P. M. We did not see aman except the picket who brought usto a stand by " halt! " when our busi-ness being made known we were allowedto proceed. We slept that night on abed of pine boughs strewn on the groundin our tents and I must say I never sleptsounder at home.

The weather up to this time was verypleasant, but in tho night it commencedsnowing, and on getting up in the morn-ing it was 4 inches deep. It,, continuedall day, and at night waa 15 inches deep.This was Tuesday, January 27th. Inthe evening 24 prisoners were brought inwho, on examination, proved to be 9 ofour paroled men, some deserters, ParsonLongstrcet, Chaplain of the 1st VirginiaCavalry, a fine looking fellow, more of aCaptam I think than a Minister, a Lieut.and Sergeant Major of tho same Regi-ment, and some privates. Their proper-ty was soon confiscated by the men, andtho prisoners next morning were sent toWashington. There aro three or fourmesh brought in daily ; there arc severalin tho jail here now. Owing to the in-clemency of the weather, we took poses-sion of the Episcopal Church, (whichwas partly demolished by others), andtore up the floor and have got our horsesstabled. It makes good quarters forthem.

This is a rogular seccsh lulo. Thehouses that might once have beon res-pectable dwellings aro all torn to pieces

and soldiers quartered in them. Therebels aro said to bo near to us in severaldirections, and pickets tho night beforelast brought in tho news that Stuartintended to pay us a visit, but he did notcome. I guess he thought better. Wewere all prepared. I feel in no dangerof surprise with such cool headed officersas we have. You know Capt. CLABKwell enough, so it is needless to speak ofhim. The boys all put great confidencein him. Our firs.t Lieut. W. O. WOKTII,of Pontiric, is a young man of experience,being one of the old Mich. 1st Cavalry ;we all like him and all look up to him formilitary instruction. Lieut. WHITE,of our University, well known to thepeople of Ann Arbor, has won tho con-fidence and good will of the men, andthe}' are not afraid to trust him. Ourother officers are all on good terms withthe men. As to myself I should notlike to bo transferred to any other com-pany.

Our men are kept continually on thego. Gen. STOUTON sends for the men to

go with every one that comes along.—We have had a squad of 12 with thePaymaster all over to the several regi-ments in this part of the country. Soinstead of being Body Guard to GeneralCASEY, WO are couriers and escorts forevery General in the division.

Last night the place was fired in 3 or4 places, but discovered soon enough todo no damage. ^The General's head-quarters was one of them. I t is sup-posed they were set on fire by seoesh.—The orders are to shoot any one outdoors after '' taps" that has not thepassword, or will not halt promptly.

I have to do my writing in a negroslave hut, as the weather is very cold,and there we can have a good fire. Wosend to Washington for our mail and theboys look for the " Aiious" everyweek. They come regularly and we arevery thankful for them. HOMER MOOREand FOLEY, with some others, sick, wereleft in the city. They are getting wellfast. FOLEY has his discharge papersand is going home. JOHN SINCLAIR and

all the rest of the Ann Arbor boys arewell. The Paymaster has paid tho regi-ment up to tho 1st of November, butour company being out here did not getours, and think wo shall have to waituntil next pay day, rather lough, butcan't bo helped. We need it much.—The boys could get many little luxuriesif they had ,the money. I have writtenmore than I expcct:d to, so will closethis poor, letter with respects to all myold friends in Ann Arbor.

Yours,COMMISSARY.

Garibaldi's Address to the Romans.Garibaldi has written the following

letter in reply to the request that hewould accept the Presidency of a newcommittee formed in Home :

Pisa, Dec. 17, 1SG2.DEAR FRIENDS—I accept with grati-

tude and confidence the Presidency ofyour political committee.

Where the sun of liberty is dim—where tho priest maintains the dark-ness by ignorance and superstition—where foreign insolence strives to givelife to the fatal idol, by offering it asword already crimsoned with thedeath of one people, to be used to givedeath to another—there an effort of ac-tion must be made on behalf of liberty,independence, civilization and progress.The mean and cowardly instigaiions ofthe agents of corruption unnerve theintellect and the heart, and rendermean and despicable all the acts of life.Give them ear no longer. Your honorand tho existence of tho whole nationare at stake. Until you shall be ableto make yourselves respected, diplomacy, believe me, will hold you in contempt. Be you tho lirst to despise herfond allurements. They are the off-spring of lies and the nurslings of trea-son.

Romans! Itisfrom yourselves alonethat you must demand your liberty,and you will obtain it. Have daring,courage and faith ! Let us work to-gether liko persevering explorers in thebowels of tho earth. To-day, therough, barren stones ; to-m<>m>w, themetal. To-day the labor of preparalion ; to-morrow the open struggle andthe victory.

If your hearts fail you, go to yourruins, your sepulchres, and your dead!Thero you will find courage. Touchtho dust of Spartacus, Brutus, and ahundred othor names that have shedlustre on your history !

Interrogate the past; two eras ofcivilization will give you answer!—Trust in the present; twentv-two mil-lions of brothercjaro bo und, to help you,and they will help you !

How Roseerans Outwitted Bragg-A correspondent of tho New York

Tribune, writing from Murfreesboro, says:A cunning ruse was practiced upon tho

enemy, Friday night, January 2d. I twas apparent that their numbers exceed-ed ours. Major General Thomas, who ishabitually deliberate, said the enemy out-numbered us some .r>,000 or G,000 men.After wo occupied Murfreesboro, weascertained beyond doubt that KirbySmith's 10,000 men, which wo knew hadbeen detached from Bragg ostensibly togo to Mississippi, had been quietly bi-vouacod among the mountains withincall of Murfreesboro, and when the armyof the Cumberland moved upon Bragg,they were ordered back to the front —It was a cunning ruse. Bragg did it tobring on an attack, vainly imagining thathis reinforcements would turn the scaleof victory in his favor. But Fridaynight-General Rosecr.ins directed Lieu-tenant Colonel Langdon, of GeneralMcCook's staff and Captain C. 11. Thomp-son of his own, each possessing voices offine volume, to "move tho fourteenth di-vision" to tho right of our line, as dem-onstratively as possible. You will un-derstand that the "fourteenth division"was a myth. There was none such inthe army. .

Langdon and Thompson, however,with powerful vocalization, deployed itscolumns into Hue, and illuminated thewoods with blazing bivouac fires. Sub-sequently Gen. Roseerans visited thocamps of the "Fourteenth Division," andtaking a lot of orderlies, each with a firebrand in his hand he laid out a lorg lineof battle, with glowing picket stations,completely overlapping the left wing oftho enemy. Bragg, in his jubilant dis-patch to Jeff. Davis, said that "the ene-my having received heavy reinforcements,he deemed it prudent to retire." The" Fourteenth Division," consisting ofLieutenant Colonel Langdon, CaptainThompson, and the General commandingwith his orderlies, and a few flambeaus,were all the reinforcements our army hadreceived.

The Most Extravagant Woman in theWorld,

Tho Empress of Franoe is probablythe most extravagant woman living.—Nor is this all; she has been the causeof ruinous extravagance in the familiesof her husband's subjects and in al! thecountries whore the fashions Rhe hasset have found favor. M. Fould, thoEmperor's Minister of Finance, threat-ens to resign his office unless her enor-tnous dratts upon the treasury are cur-tailed. So costly has she made thetoilette in Paris, that fashionable ladiesare utterly unable to settle their bil'sfor dress ; it is stated by the Englishpress that it is as much as many ofthem can do to pay the large debtswhich, following the imperial modes,has caused them to incur. The worldowes crinoline to the fair Eugenie; andthe rougher half of its civilized popu-lation does not feel by any man-ner of means grateful to her for the in-troduction of the articles. She hasmade her palace in the Tuileries asmagnificent as tho palace one readsabout in oriental tables. The doors ofher boudoir are of ivory, inlaid withgold. Tho furniture i.s of rosewood,inlaid with mirrors, gold, ivory, and isupholstered with pale red silk. Smyr-naian carpeting of tho heaviest texturecovers the floor, and the ceiling issplendidly frescoed. The desks andportfolios are of toirtoise shell, ara-besqued with gold ; and the most val-uable paintings of the old masters or-nament the walls. The beautiful wo-man has surrounded herself with theseluxuries, spends an almost fabulousamount annually in rare laces and allthe most expensive articles of femalecostume,' besides subscribing unheardof sums in aid of certain vast politicalschemes for she is withal an intriguingpolitician. The empress is thirty-sixyears of age, and therefore old enoughto have learned prudence; yet she ismore prodigal now than in the hey-dayof her youth and beauty. The Queenof Louis XVI was as extravagant,and as fond of meddling in state affairsas Eugenie, and her fool of a husbandsuffered hor to lead him by the nose.—One day they lost their heads, poorthings. Would it not be well forLouis Napoleon to take tho warning toheart ? '

Good Advice.Never cut a piece out ot a nows-

paper until you have looked on tho oth-er sido, where perhaps you may findsomething more valuable than thatwhich "you first intended to appropriate.-

Never put Rait into your soup beforeyou have tasted it. I have known gen-tlemen very much enraged by doing so.

Never burn your fingers if you oanhelp it. People burn their fingersevery day, when they might have es.caped if they had been careful.

Let no gentleman over quarrel witha woman. If yon aro in trouble withher, retreat. If slio abuses you, besilent. If she tear your cloak off, give)hor your coal. If she box your earnbow. If she tear your eyes out, feelyour way to the door—but tly.

Don't put your feet on tho table.—True, the mo:nbors of Congress do Jso,but your are not a member of Congress.

If you form ono of a largo mixedcompany, and a diffident stranger en-ters the room and takes a seat amongyou, say something to him, forhoaven'asake, even although it bo only, " Finnevening, sir." Do not lot him set boltupright, sufloring all the apprehensionsand i'gonies of bashfulnoss, withoutnny relief. Ask how ho has been—tellhim you know his friend so and so—,anything that, will do to break the icysiffness in which very decent fellowsare sometimes frozen on their debutbefore a new circle,

The New Military Bill.

Washington, Feb. D.The Military Coi8tliit\ce of the Son-

ato reported b::ck, to-day, n new tubsti-tu'e for the conscription bill In viewof its importance, I send a lengthly ab-stiact. The bill was agreed on in com-mittee ns a sort of compromise of nilviews, iincl will bo pressed to a vote i:iits present shape. The lull opCns witha preamble reciting the duty of the gov-ernment to suppress tho rebellion andguarantee to each State a republicanform of government. It is enacted—

Section 4 provides that, ior greaterconvenience in eurolling, organizing, &c,the United States snail be divided intomilitary districts — the District of Co-lumbia to constitute one, each Territoryone or more as the President shall direct,and eacli Congressional district fixed bylaw shall constitute one. Provided, thatin States which have not, by their laws,been divided into two or more Congress-ional districts, the President shall dividetha same into as many enrollment dis-tricts as may be convenient.

IN REOAED TO CAMEHON.The Cincinnati Commercial makes thefollowing suggestion in regard to thedisposal of Cameron :

" What is to become of Simon ? Hischances of a return to Russia are con-siderably damaged by this developmentei Pennsylvania politics, and there seemsto be no opportunity of securing his val-uable services to tho country unless hewill accept the command of the blackbrigade which Governor Andrew hasbeen authorised to raise in Massachusetts.We rejoice to learn from a cotemporarythat he has already applied for the situa-tion. It will probably go hard with thenegroes, so far as their uomnnissariat isconcerned, but we are not sure but thecountry would gain by it, particularly ifthe brigade, commander and all, weredetailed for garrison duty in unhealthyaud malarious districts along the South-ern coast."

The Proposed Coascs;ptfor Bill-Frora '.ha National InttfHigeucer,

Senator Wilson's " conscription " bill,which seems to be in a fair way for apiissiigo through the Se.iuto, is the sub-

|jectof much discussion among militaryj men. I t is generally denounced as unI fair, inexpedient and impracticable, andBidoulatfd to provoke An am cunt of un-popularity which would be avoided by a

I more equitable measure. The first seriousj objection to tho bill is that it overridesj nil State authority and puts the wholeI business of regulating and enforcing a; draft in the hands of the President. This; provision implies a distrust of the loyalty; and patriotism of the Governors of thoj Northern States, which tha liborul co-| operation of those Governors and thoseSlates heretofore does not justify. TheState authorities cannot fail to feel that

i they are treated with neglect and injusticej if the bill passes in this shupo. It would| be far better to rely frankly upon tho aidof the local authorities in executing aconscription measure, than to snub andset them aside as the bill proposes to do.It is just such over-riding of State gov-ernments and State pride that makes therebel conscription so odious all throughtho seceded States. This is one of thesethings in which it ought to be our boastthat we do not copy from the enemy.

Another strong objection lies againstthis conscription bill. It is drawn upeither in perfect ignorance, or in willful"neglect, of all the maxims of militarypolicy, founded in common sense, andratified by experience of all the bestfighting nations on tho earth. This billmakes no distinction on account of agesor condition. All able-bodied men between 18 and 45 aro liable to be drafted;and no commutation money is accepted.The man with a large family to supporthas no preference over the man who isalone in the world The man who hasclimbed up to middle life, with indiffer-ent health, and who would be killed by aday s hard marching or a night's expo-sure, is put on the same footiug as theathletic vigorous fellow of twenty-five.The bill, instead of being so contrived asto give the least jar to all the institutions and interests of society, seems to beespecially designed to bear with ironhardness upon the settled order of things.In monarchies and despotisms—wherethe raising of armies is reduced to ascience—care is taken that the businessinterests of the country are not upset bvan indiscriminate draft. Exceptions aremade in favor of men with families —Tho young and strong aro taken beforethe middie-iiged aie called upon, and acommutation fee ia accepted by tho gov-ernment from those who are drawn butare unable to go to the war. A con-scription system like the French hasbeen found, by long practice, to bo notonly admirably efficient, but to causo theleast possible disorder to all tho interestsof the country. If the Senator hadgone to work to get up a bill, whichwould tend to make the very name ofconscription odious, he could not havesurpassed this effort.

The Broken Blockade.Washington, Feb. 9.

Official dispatches have been receiv-ed from Admiral Dopant, regardingthe recent affair off Charleston ; also en-closing the account of CommanderStellwageq of the Mercedita and Key-stone the only two vessels injured,though other vessels ol the squadronwere struck by the enemy's shot. Thoofficers and crew of the Mercedita wereparoled, but nothing was said about thevessel, which together with the Key-stone, are repairing at Port Royal.The rams came upon the fleet duringa thick fog, and were not seen untilclose alongside tho Mercedita. Theram being so low in the water theMercedita was unable to bring a gunto bear on her, and was disabled by thefirst shot of the ram, which passedclean through her, and, exploding herBteam drum, deprived her of the powerof motion, killing the gunner an i scald-ing a ni'mber of the crew. Tho ramafter being detained half an hour bytho Mercedita, started for the Keystoneand soon disabled her by a shot throughboth steam chests. Ten rifle shellsstruck her, and two burst on the quar-ter deck. The Housatonic save chaseand a shot from her struck tho pilot-house of tho Ham, doing, it is thought,nome damage and carried away a flagThe rebel vessels then passed northward, and took refuge in the SwashChannel, About one-fourth of thecrew of the Kej stone were killed andwounded Most of them died from theescaping steam Com Stellwagen hasasked, and Admiral Dupont ordered,an investigation.

PROBABLE ATTACK ON SAVANNAH ANDCHARLESTON —The attack on Savannahand Charleston, there is reason to be-lieve, has already commenced. TheSavannah Republican of ihe 28th saysthat the day previous seven Federalvessels weio bombarding Genesis Pointsome distance from that city, and abnlletine posted in Richmond, in Rich-mond, on Tuesday, announced that onegun had been dismounted, " and thatall the churches and hotels in Savan-nah had been seized for hospital pur-poses, in anticipation of a general en-gagement.'' There are also intimationsthat vessels with Federal troops wereapproaching points on the coast, evi-dently with the view of landing.

Tho nominees for Rogonts comprisesome of the ablest men in the Slate—several of whom have for years beenprominently idoDtified with the cause ofeducation, and who will take pride intho University. Tho local candidate,Mr. RICHMOND is well known to ourcitizens as a gentleman possessing tbo.soexcellent business qualifications, whichare especially necessary to the localRegent.

—The Convention adjourned untilevening to hear the report of the com-mittee on resolutions, and as we camehome on Ihe early train we do not knowat this writing the character of theresolutions.

In lecturing the Journal (or ven-turing to suggest the narao of one of ourcitizens as a fit person for a candidate forItegent, the State T&'ics takes occasion tomake a drive at the recent DemocraticConvention of this County for instruct-ing its delegates. It says: "Wo allhave our preferences, but all that anyConvention can consistently do, is simplyto recommend, not to instruct." I t issingular how many Democratic, Whig,and Republican State, County, a u d otherConventions have been inconsistent, for allhive assumed to instruct their delegates— not the convention to which they wereaccredited—whenever they had any par-ticular man or measure to endorse. TheNews should issue a guide book for con-ventions.

J32E* Judging by the way the DetroitAdvertiser and Tribuni—we buy a copyoccasionally—pitches into the Hon. H.J. BKAKES, member from this district,for his recent speech on the resolutionson the state of tho Union, it must havemade the fur fly on ye radioals somewhat.At all events the hard names so profuse-ly dealt out by our cotemporary remindus of Jhe boy who got worsted in a fight,and proposed satisfaction by " makingmouths at his opponent's sister." Weapprehend that Mr. BUAKES will not besorely troubled by the Tribune's epithets.

What shall I write that will be in theleast interesting? I suppose that tho pa-pers givo you all the particulars of armymovements, perhaps more accuratelythan I can, but there i3 one thing thatI can assure you, and that is, tho armyof the Potomac is getting demoralized,I am, "and I know it." Burnside hasplayed out, and Hooker is now goiug totry his skill, which will probably costfifteen or twenty thousand more lives,then off goes his head. The result ofthe-operations at Fredricksburg seemsto be in accordance with all the pastmovements of the army of the Potomac,since it3 first movement in the directionof Richmond. The neglect of assistanceand co operation that proved so disas-trous to McOlellan, has also destroyedthe plans and obstructed the movementsof Burnside. How can a campaign suc-ceed when tho commanding officer is an-noyed and frustrated by numberless 'or-ders' and 'countermands,' that illustratethe nervous, imbecile, tremulous andfluctuating state of the War Department.

A correspondent with the fleet furn-ishes the follow ng particulars, dated nearVicksburg, 2d: It was determined yes-terday that, the rams Monarch and Queenof tho West should run the blockade.This morning at daybreak, from somecause, the Monarch aid not raise steamat the proper time nor join in the at-tempt. The Queen did not get off assoon ns expected. At 6 o'clock she s'ar-ted under a full head of steam. She wasunder the command of Col. Ellet, whoaided in capturing Memphis. Vicks-burgera evidently were not taken by surprise, as they opened firo promptly. TheQueen was four miles distant from Viclts-burg when she started. When she hadpreceded half of a mile a signal light washoisted on tho cupola of the VicksburgCourt House ; in five minutes the bat-teries opened firo. Tho Queen keptsteadily on her way, the guns bearing onher increasing in number, momentarily,until finally every battery seemed playing.Her progress was so rapid that the bat-teries could not get her range with anydegree of accuracy. Out'of two hundredshots fired only three took effect., Ouoseven-inch shell lodged in a state room,but did not explode. Hud it done so,Col. Ellet says tlu; ram would have beendestroyed, but no one aboard was injured.The Queen attempted no reply to thebatteries, but ran into tho gunboat Vicksburg at tho wharf, striking her forwardof the cook house, damaging her to someextent. In less than one hour from star-ting, the ram was safely anchored bisloWthe city, at the mouth of the new cut off.The Queen carries two heavy Parrottguns Ellet's intention doubtless is tocut off steamboat communication betweenVicksburg and Port Hudson.

Afteihe organization the subject mutter dis.cussed was tho course which tbe Senutshould take on the revelation of Secretary 8award'1) pretended corresdeoee with M. Mercier, tho FrenclMinister on his departure for Richmond lust summer. Some of the Sena tors were for iho most radical tineasure—even tbe resolution iutrodueecyesterday by Mr. Grimes, making tbecharge direct—bill, after debate, moreconservative counsels prevailed, and itW M finally determined that tho f©llowing resolution, which was subtle

I quently adopted in the Senate, woulcelicit the information required by theSenate :

" Resolved, That the President ofthe United States be requested, if notia his judgment incompatible With ;1Rpublic interest, to lay before the Senateany correspondence which bus takenplace between this government and thegovernment of France on tho subjectot mediation, arbitration, or otbeimeasures looking to the termination, olthe exiting civil war. '

The radicals, if successful in sub-stantiating the alleged facts by tho answer from the President to this resolu-tion, Jeel confident that they will securethe removal of Secretary Sevvard fromthe Cabioet.

The Secretary of War sent a letterto-day to the Military Committee, ur-ging the passage uf the bill introducedsome time since for the immediate erec-tion of an arsenal and depot lor ord-nances at Weeliuwken, near NewYork

T'ne following bill was offered by theMilitary Committee of the Senatetoday : That, in addition to four Ma-jor Generals and nine Brigadier Gen-erals for the regular army, and fortyMajor Generals ami twenty BrigadierGenerals for the volunteer forces, au-thorized bv existing hn\n, there mav beappointed thirty Major Generals s-.ndseventy Brigadier Geneeals of volunteers.

It is said on good authority that theEmperor of the French is actuallyshipping from Alexandria, Egvpt, toMexico, some thousand Nubian troops,for whose services in bis armies he hasbargained with their master, the Pasha.They are conscripts, as black as ttteace of spades, and, having originallybeen Inroad into the Pasha's service, areagain being forced into that of Na-poleon I I I . on this continent.

The Pre-ident has nominated Gen.Plielps, of negro pr elamation fame, tobe a Major General, vice Ex-GovernorJMorgan, ol Now York, resigned, anddating his commission so that he willrank all volunteer Major G. Morals inthe service except Generals Dix, But-ler, and Banks.

J£5£~ From J H. BUULESON WO havereceived a copy of tho Catalogue ofthe University of Michigan for 1863.The summary shows the following uttendance :ACADKMICAL S T O D E N T S

Total, 652We venture to say that very few, if

any.iiistitutioBS in the country can maket. better showing.

A new feature in the Catalogue is nlist of graduates and utudenta in thoarmy. This list includes tho names of116 graduates, und 65 undergraduates(it the Literary Department, and of 44irraduutos of the Law Department, in-cluding members of the present SeniorClass. And we notice that with thispatriotic showing the list is not full —Tlie '• Medical Soldiers "—not graduates of the Literary Department—arenot catalogued, no list having beenfurnished.

We are in reeeipt of Blackwood'sBdmkurg Magazine for December andJanuary. The two numbers coma to-gether in consequence of tho AmericanPublishers, Messrs. LEONARD SCOTT &Co., having been burned out, just afthe December number was printed.—B.ith numbers have some valu-able papers, and among them are, inthe one for December, " Victor Hugoon the Great French Puzzle," and"British North America ;" and in thatfor January, ': A Month's visit to theConfederate Hfiidquarters"-by an English officer,—" Progress in China;" and" Belligerent Rights at Sea, and theChanges proposed ia them."

— We give the prospectus of Black-wood and the Reviews in another col-umn, from which it will be seen thatnotwithstanding the great advance inpapers, the publications are to be continued at the old price. In view of therecent henvy losses of Messrs SCOTT &Co., by the burning of tho large stockof back numbers, they should receive aliberal patronage from tho readingpublic.

There is no spring, no spur,no inspiration like this. To feel thatwe havo omit tod no task, and left noobligation unfulfilled, this fills the heartwith satisfaction, und the eoul withstrength.

ONE OE TWO-Two girls before a mirror,—

One braiding the other's hair,Ami twining to lustrous (Uamuncfe

Befitting her beauty rare.The other with while hands folded

Looks in the mirror with pride,But thinks not once ou Bfle paleness

Of the young face at her side.

One is a b'elle and'a benuly,Siti-ing so haughty and still,—•

She other, the deiieate-lingered,Ts o;ilv"uM-ri>tw Lille.

She cannot win hearts like the beauty,Who quean of the ball will We1,

But she toils with a sweetness and' pas-' tience

I could almost weep toseo;

The eyas of the beauty sparkle,Counting her triumphs before,—

But the soft brown orbs of the sisterBay something that pleases, me more.

You quiet and patient darling,So meek to another's will,

I dream I shall love you and clasp youTo my heart and lips, sweet Lille !

t last the grand toilette is over,AI stay from the fete to-day,—Mere diamonds never could dazzle

'The-watcher over the way.B'ift when .ill the rest have departed'.

And the house seems empty and still,—I -hall timidly knock at the portal,

And ask for the heart of Lile.

Rules for Management of Cows-Never buy a cow of a dairyman, for

if he is a good manager ho will sellonly his poor animals.

To determine which cows aro goodfor keeping, try their milk separately,and weigh the butter—for sometimes acow may give much milk and little but-ter, and vice versa.

Cows should run dry six weeks be-fore calving—if milked closely towardcalving the calves will be poorer.

A cow newly come in, should notdrink cold water, but moderatelywarm slop. Calves intended for rais-ing,, should 03 talfrjufrom the-cow wkh>-in a few days, and they will be less lia-ble to suck when old, Fe-d them firstWifti new milk for a tiiH9---th«n skimmilk then soar milk—taking caro thatnil changes are gradual, by addingonly a portion first, aud add graduallya little meal.

Calves well fed and taken care of,with a quart or two of meal daily inwinter, will be double the size at twoyears they would have attained bycommon treatment.

Heifers thus treated may come in attwo years old, and will be better thanneglected animals at three, and one yearof feeding saved.

Hearty eators are desirable for cows,a nd they may usually be selected while

' 'ves. A dainty calf will be a dainty

• r ;(, rs should become accustomed** W freely handled before calving,&nd4rt 'W.'Dgthe teats. They will then•not <be d. ffi "u l t t o mi!k- B e S i n gradu-allv swl t "ever startle them.

In rriifki 'o cows divide tho time asnearly-a* P* •ac*Joabla between morningand evening, especially at time of earlyerase, that th-o adder may not suffer

Persona «shi> n'.uk should keep the•nails cut sh<*t--animals are sometimesl,.u-t with diarV ne''l]s> a n d u nJu s t ly«hahfed wi*h resbi1 sasoess.

Old cows-eibould be lotted at fifteen-years. The dairyman, therefore, whohas fifteen ofrws, should raise a heifercalf every yew to supply the vacancy—if the "herd ie 30 cows, he shouldraise two ealves, m<l so forth.

Heifers dried »p too early for calv-ing, Will always PWB dry about the sametime in alter years—therefore, bo care-ful to milk closely t-h<j first year, untilabout sis weeks before calving.

Spring cows should coma in whilethey are yet fed on hay, and beforethey are turned to grass, which will bemore likely to prevent caked bag andmilk fever.

HEALTH—OUR FEET.—Women arenot more hardy than men. They walkon tho same damp, cold earth. Theirshoes must be as- thick and warm. Calfor kip skin is best for the cold seasons.The sole should be half an inch thick;in addition there should be a quarter ofan inch rubber Tho rubber sole I haveused for years ; I wo'd not part with itfor a thousaud dollars. It keeps out thedamp, prevents slipping, and wears fivetimes as long as leather of the same cost.For women's boots it is invaluable, Butrubber shoes should be discarded. Theyretain- the perspiration, make the feettender, and givo susceptibility to cold.Stand on one foot, and mark around thooutspread toen. Have your soles exactlythe same width. Your corns will leaveyou. The narrow sole is the cause ofmost of your corns. A careful study ofthe anatomy of the foot and the influenceof a narrow solo will satisfy every in-quirer. The heel should be broad andlong.

Wear thick woolen stockings. Change-them every day.

Before retiring, dip the feet in coldwater. Rub them hard. Hold the bot-toms at the fire till they burn.—Dr.Lewis.

SS hear a good anecdote con-cerning a sailor laddie on one of our gun-boats. The vessel was just going intoaction, and our sailor was upon his knees,when an officer sneeringly asked him ifhe was afraid? I was praying," was theresponse. " Well, what were you pray-ing for ? " continued the officer. " Pray-ing that the enemy's bullets may be dis-tributed the same way as the prize moneyis, principally amowj the officers!" wasthe quick an^ready retort.

sS A. man cut off from his bakerfor non-payment of his bill, is " struckoff the rolls."

3 A Hungarian desiring to re-mark upon the domestic habits ofa young lady, said,—

" O, Miss, how homely you are !"

|3F* Washington once called uponan elderly lady, whose littlo granddaughter at the close of his call, wait-ed on him to the door, and opened itto lot him out. The general, with hidcustomary urbanity, thanked her, and,laying his hand gently upon her head,said. ''My dear, I wish you a betteroffice." " Yes sir, to let you in" wasthe prompt and beautiful reply.

Our No, 3 Machines are especially adapted to all kindsof light and heavy Leather Work, in Carriage Trim-ming, Boot and Shoe Making, Harness Making, etc., etc.They are of extra size, and with an arm Jong enough tocake under it and stitch the largest "size dashes. Thereis scarcely any part of a Trimmers' stitching that cannotbe better done with them than by hand ; so, too, thesaving of time and labor is ve**y great. The table ofthese machines is 2i inches long, and the shuttle willhold six times the usual quantityJof thread. The largemachine works as fast as small ones.

%g* We have made the above REDUCTION IN PRICE?with the two-fold view of benefiting the public and our-selves. Tlie public have been swindled by spurious ma-chines made in imitation of ours. The metal in them,from the iron casting to the smallest peice, is ot poorquality. Their makers have not the means to do theirworn well. They are hid away in secret places, where itwould be impossible to have at their command the prop-er mechanical appliances. It is only by doing a greatbusiness,and havingYxtensive manufacturing establish-ments, that sroorl machines can be made at moderat-prices. The bosx uv.^ned machines, BADLY MADE, arealways liable to get'ont MI Order, and are sure to costconsiderable trouble and money to ;;"<n> them m repaire

The qualities to be looked tor in a l£acl : i n e a r 6 : c e r"tainty of correct action at nil rates of speed, si2PP"Cityof construction, great durability, and rapidity of up9"ration, with the least labor. Machines to combine theseessential qualities, ^must be made of the best metal f*ndfinished to perfection. We have the way and moans, ona grand scale, to do this.

The purchasers of machines, whosedaily bread it mayconcern, will find tliat those haviagthe abovequalitiesnot only work well at rapid as well as slow rates ofspeed,[but last longer in UIP liner-1 possible working order.Our machines, as made by us, will earn more moneywith less labor thuuany others whether in imitationol ours or not, Infaet, they are cheaper thaii any othermaehinesad a gift.
