NATIONAL GIoRY.-The noble elements which
nation ernbodies and represents, and which
determine its place in history, constitute it's true
glory. Mere numbers, as of Chinese, Hindoos
or Turks, awaken no satisfaction in the mind OF
the student of history. The brawny energy that
tugs at the conquest of nature, that pushes out
pioneers whose axes NOW the wilderness and
whose ploughs furrow the prairies, that tames
the torrents for its wheels, and clamps State with
State by iron, and makes the air over wide latl
tudes buzz with furious and cunning mechanism
this, in contrast with lazy content or nerve
less beggary, properly awakens joy in the aspect
of nation. And when out of this enthusiastic
strength an intellectual force is born that dots
the land with schools and colleges from which
lteratures blossom and shed the fragrance OF cul-
ture and poetry in the social air, there is new
and higher call for satisfaction and gratitude
Churches will grow as naturally out of the wi.
dening life of such state as court-rooms and
schools and if poverty begins to border the
general plenty, the national genius turns to stu
dy for the wisest relief of it by the quick inn
pulse of duty. A truly Christian Common
wealth presents a spectacle grander than any
miracle of genius, any individual heroism, any
personal sanctity, for then State stands out
with intellect on its forehead, chivalry in tits
movements and Christianity in its heart-Bos-
ton Transcript.

after that period, removed to Missouri, where
Kit, when lad of 10, was apprenticed to sad-
er-occupying himself at that business two
years, ct the end of which he Joined trapping
expedition and trappsr he remained, until his
familiarity with the great far West rendered him
invaluable as a guide to explorers of the Plains.
For eight years be acted as hunter at Bent's
Fort. When Col. Fremont engaged in his ex.
peditions Carson accompanied him, and was ev.
er after his steadfast companion. In 1847 he
received the rank of Lieutenant in the rifle
corps, United States army. His latest and most
remarkable exploit on the Plains, was enacted
in 1863, when he conducted drove of 5000
sheen safely to California.

The State Military Convention, which
met Mt Cincinnati last week in i:s proceed
ings adopted memorial which is to be
presented to the Legislature by Gen, Bates,
Gen. Jones and Col, King, the committee
appointed for the purpose. The memorial
treats of the use of thorough military or.
CARNATIONS, that through them the property,
life and happiness Of every citizen of the
State, however remote from populous cen.
tries, is rendered more certain and secure
by the existence Of such organizations, and
involves a consequent obligation to aid and
cherish them. They bear none Of their
immediate burdens-they reap their extend,
cd and unquestiouable fruits
"At present the pressure upon the organ
iZatiOn is that of accumulated duty and ex'
pense. More than 100000 have been ex'
ponded to uniform and equip tho present
force. The law requires tho observance of
certain days as seasons Of military drills
and exercise. The law compels the hire Of
armories and the care and repair of the
public arms, which involves an annual out
lay OF many thousand dollars
= This service and this care of the public
arms is also obligatory, for tho term Of five
years upon all who once enter upon the ser,

"1he time and outlay thus expended add
value TO the organization, but increase the
burden to which the citizen soldier is sub
jected
"The Ohio volunteer militia, in this me-
mortal, disclaim all ambition for large or
expensive military establishment. They
propose but nucleus which shall be large
enough for the practical ends in view, but
small enough neither to bo burthen 10 the

IL decides On mere technical grounds the most
momcntons question thst ever arcsa in Amerl-
can jurisprudence; denies the people q hearing,
although their sgeuts under oath pleaded Ger
