ANOTHER STUNNER FOR DOUGLAS. IL will be
seen from our special Washington dispatches that
Douglas has received another severe blow in the
Senate. All the Illinois nominations, SO obnoxious
30 the Senator and his friends, have been confirm
without. objection from any quarter. The Little
Giant is SO completely crushed that not a single
friend was found to stand up for him in this ex'
tremity, or to even ask a postponement. Douglas
is a used.up man. 1t begins to look as though
oven the Illinois Legislature would r%epudiate him.
The Washington Union talks very contem ptuous'
ly OF "ihis whole clnmor which is now btereotyped
against the army" The people are expected to con-
quer their preiudices against standing armies, as
well as against all other outgrowths and applian-
ces of strong and centralized governments. In
fact the people are to be prevailed upon to conquer

Useful HINTS TO YouNG MEN.-IIow many
young men ignorantly deny themselves Il fortune.
There ls scarcely a young man of good sense in
this city who cannot save 500 easily from his an
nual earnings, and. if he will forego cigars, Sill-
iards, and juleps, he can save double that amount.
Figures sometimes produce almost incredible re-
suits. Thus, 70: instance, If q young man upon
his twentieth birthday will invest 500 in any
stock, paying ten per cent, and annually thereaf-
ter will invest the same amount and the accumu'
latior of interest. he will be worth, when lie is
thirty years old. 81, 1853 when forty years old,
SC, 300; when fifty yeors old, $l8, $50; when sixty
years old, S4S,I 700.

con ~sultation Of physicians last week. they as
sured him that he would recover, but it nigh,

he must abandon ell hope Of returning home 70,

picked about this absence from public duties,
though encouraged by this promise Of certain ul
innate recovery. Mr.. Sumner had been SO conf
dent Of an early return to the Senate chamber
that, more than two months ago he had engaged
his rooms, and made every arrangement TO PASS
the winter in Washington"
