u MEN WANTED Yes, men n

MEN WANTED Yes, men are
alwrys wanted. The supply seldom
meets the demand. And yet many
complain that there is no place for
them--they can find nothing TO do
they are not wanted in the world.
Inefficient. lazy, unskilful men are
not wanted but men Of capacity and
industry, men who have made them
selves masters of their business--be it
saving wood or preaching sermons
are always wanted A skilful me-
chan seldom need seek long for en-
ployment. An energetic, upright
merchant has always plenty OF bust
nesa.
An able lawyer never waits long
for clients. TIE country has need OF
all its industrious and skillful citizens.
Its manufacturing and mechanical cs-
Establishments, its banks and railroads,
its mercantile and marine interests, all
demand intelligent and active men to
conduct, or assist in conducting them.
And the supply of such men is not
equal to the demand. Many promls-
ing projects fail for the want of capa-
BILE and experienced men to take
charge of them.
Let the rising generations ponder
well this truth. If they would take
an active part in the worlds business,
and receive a due share of its honors,
they have only to prepare themselves
by ewing dlllgent attention to their
| b,laaoss. Let the young mechanic,
instead of spending his evenings in
loafing at the corner, improve them
in acquiring knowledge ofthe histo-
ny and principles of his trade. Let
him not be content with slight
knowledge of business-let him study
its theory and master its practice
Let him follow the example set by the
great men which every trade car
| furnish, and success is certain. lie
will not have to wait for an opening
he holds IN bis hands the opening
KEY. He need not seek for employ
ment-employment will seek him
Men are wanted--let our youth sec
that they make men of themselves -

INcREDlBLE.-It is said that Louis
Napoleon has signifed bis intention
of enlarging the liberty Of the press
Has he forgotten all The maxims of

political death warrant. In a free

an engine Of good order, but an un.
shackled press is a terror to despots.
The report is scarcely TO be credited.

The CASE oE MtcuEAL CorrER.--
Dur readers will no doubt remember,


Our readers will no doubt remember,
that some eighteen mouths ago whilst
the Hon. J. j. Burk, was, presiding
Jud,e of the Sixth Judicial District,
one Michcal Conner, aprivate in Col.
Webstcr's Company, was on n writ OF
habcus corpus, taken before Judge
Burk, and after the evidence in his
case was heard, judgement from that
Court, granted bis release from the U.
s., service. A question of the right
of jurisdiction was raised at the time,
and by reference to files OF this paper,
it will be seen how the matter was
canvassed pro ard con- With the evi.
dence then adduced, we have pp1bing
to do at this time, it is sufficient for
us to know that the Supreme Court Of
this State sustained the judgement OF
the lower Court, and Conner was set
at liberty. He at once went to work
at his trade. "a Tailor and opened
o shop on Church street. On Lafay-
cite street he owns small house, where
his family has resided for the past
two years. When Conner became es-
tablished in his business, he was not
little surprised to find that Mr.. + NJ.
Conrad, then Secretary OF war, had
issued an order for his arrest as DIES
erter, the order being sent to Capt.
Morgan Conner was commanded to
report himself to that officer. He hes
tated after consulting various
persons on the subject, he closed his
shop and left the place, to await the
issue Of the matter. On Thursday
evening last, he was arrested, and isno"
under guard ut the Garrison. The
arrest was made by Capt. Ricketts,
now in command Of this post.
This is brief statement Of the case
ifnot strictly true, We shall be happy
to correct it. We do not wish to at
tach any blame to the officers here
and no one WILL for it is well known
that they act under imperitive instruc
tons, but we do say th,t Conner il
yictimized on account Of conflict
between the Civil and Military powers
| that should be settled at once. The
question is simply this. Is Conner lie
gally detained ip the service Of thu
United States ? The Civil authority
-.the highest we know of in this State
says "no." Then why arrest him as
deserter 4? Is it to be said that ever
the most humble citizen Of this Repub
lie shall be deprived of bis liberty
when it has been awarded to him b,
the highest tribunal we know off,
shall the Secetary Of War, declare
man to be "deserter" whenthe court
have set him at liberty
Now that the question Is raised lei
us have it settled, that the innocent b.
not made to suffer.

y THE OVERFLOW OF THE TREASURY.
There is now surplus Of within a
fraction of S22, 900, 600 in the Treas
ury, Notwithstanding the Secretary IS
redeeming United States stocks and
otherwise paying the public debt as
fast as the law to that end will allow
him. Thus it appears that the Gov
ernment's revenues are increasing SO
rapidly as that the public debt is be-
ing fast extinguished without maferi-
ally decreasing the amount Of cash on
hand. What will Congress do with
this surplus viii it not be a very
bane to the real interests ofthe States I!
The fear is that it will be regarded
merely as SO much plumber, TO be
squabbled for by horde Of sharp
men, each of whom will keep free
