CULINARY WANTS OF THE ARMY.-We publish
elsewhere a report of James ~ Sandcrson to the
Sanitary Commission of the United States on the
subject of feeding the federal troops We are
compelled to believe that both report and COM
mission are humbugs, and productive of no
earthly good to our soldiers. An everlasting
round of just such commissions, and similarly
appointed travellers On tours of inspection, has
become chronic evil fashion, growing out of
Irregularities in the commissariat which it is
out Of their province to remedy. Such persons
as Mr. sanderson are very politely welcomedby
generals and colonies, and good deal Of mn-
tual glorifcation, and empty theorizing succeeds
to good dinner, and then there is fred Off
a report! Meanwhile, our men go starving into
battle, with no provision for the wounded
beds, blankets, bandages and lint all wanting;
food is doled out to them with mean miserli-
ness that can only be accounted for by collision
Between certain officers and the suffers; regi-
iments are reduced to rags, and whole companies
cannot muster awhole pair of shoes, and the War
Department applies no remedy. Mr.. Sanderson,
of course, adverts to the sources OF some Of
these evils; but they are not in his power
TO heal, and it is nonsense to talk Of the neces-
sity Of 'g0od cooks" when the vctuals upon
which they should operate are wanting. II the
commissariat will do its duty faithfully, SANTA
ny commissions and their agents may equally
be dispensed with. We want investigation and
correction Of abuses not essays on military gas
tronomy.

code, but not according to the laws of war
The Southern rebels stole our forts, arsenals,
mints, ships and munitions Of war, and they
confiscated the property Of Northern men at the
South, and cancelled debts due to Northern men
to the amount of hundred and fifty millions Of
dollars. The Journal Of Commerce has sympa-
fhized with the rebels and their doiDgs all
through praising the chief burglar, Floyd, and
giving aid and comfort to the enemy as far as
words could 60. Now, if the United States
government should, by way of reprisals, seize
the property of the rebel government, that
would be only paying them off in their own
coin. We will not ask Master Sleek TO justify
this course, but we claim the same amount Of
'eympathy for it that he has so freely given the
Southern rebels for the same description of acts.

THE MANIFEST DESTINY OF THE SOUTHERN
Communicable New Orleans Bee thus
presents the programme of the Southern
movement:
The Southern Confederacy Convention
will give to the seeding States Constitu-
ton and homogeneous form of ceufeder-
ated government. Although it may happen
that the original number of slaveholding
States forming this Confederacy will not ex-
ceed seven, Southern Union will extend and
expand its periphery so as to enable it to en-
brace new acquisitions. Arkansas may be
confidently expected to connect herself with
the Contederacy, as her geographical posi-
tion, with Louisiana, Missouri and Tennessee
for her boundaries, would ehectualy exclude
her from isolation.
Tennessee is too completely identified with
the Cotton States to admit of doubt of her
ultimate destination; while Virginia sym
pathizes too deeply with the Cotton States
to keep apart from them, North Carolina
toys reluctantly with the question of Seces-
sion, and is ever slow and laggard in her move
ments, while Kentucky, Missouri and Mary
land have not yet arrived at a positive de-
termination. Events, however, beyond the
control of rapacious Office seekers and pigmy
politicians, are rapidly settling the policy OF
the entire South. The drift is toward Sc
cession, and we see no possible means by
which the ultimate and speedy union of the
South can be averted.

de. Piete of Paris was established by govern.
ment TO check the usuriousness prevalent in
the French capital. In 1869, l,926667 arti-
cles were deposited and So, OOe, 600 were ad-
yanced. Goods unrecaimed for three years
are sold and the profits given to charitable
institutions; out Of thirteen articles pledged
twelve are redeemed. The bank does not
lend 10 minors without permit from their
guardians, nor TO married women without
one from their husbands, and requires that
the passport or check shall be produced to
establish the borrowers identity. The gov
ernment borrows the money for these insti-
tutions at the rate of four TO five per cent,
and its loans are effected at from eight and
one half to ten per cent; these large profits
are swallowed up by the expenses of the nu-
merous branch Offices, each of which costs
81 400 per year

DIRECTIONS FOR SKATIEs.-A Skater of
thirty years, experience, who has taught his
children in fortnight, writes the following,
directions:
Begin by walking on the ice crossing the
feet at each step, and they should practice
it also who can only run forward on the in
side edge, if they wish to become proficient.
Walk any ten PAGES forward, crossing the
one foot over the other at every pace, and
then walk the same line backward, crossing
the one foot behind the other at every pace.
You will get fall or two at first, but in a
few lessons you will find that you can do it
without them. AS soon as this is accom-
plished with moderate facility, still adhering
to the crossing the feet which is the whole
secret, let the foot follow the skates, and you
win find that you are, insensible as it were
rolling both backward and forward on the
outside edge. 1t is a simple truth, aud is 8
mechanical certainty, as the leg once crossed
and skate on each foot can only rest on the
outside edge and the balance of the body in
that position has been learnt.

CONSUMPTION OF CoTToE GoOps IN THE
SLAVE STATEs.-The consumption by the
fifteen slave States of cotton goods, accord-
ing to United States census returns for 1850,
amounted to l4,4OO, 600 of which they man
ufacture SO, $50, GOO which is only nine per
cent. of the value of free-State cotton produc-
tions,. estimated at $52620,0OO. We're the
flee States to lose their customers for one
eleventh part of their manufactures, they
would only have to wait one or two years for
their own natural increase of population to
equalize the demand and supply. Or, taking
another view, the consumption Of cotton
manufactures in the eight cotton States for
1850 was valued at 50, 10000 Of which they
manufactured $3,30O0OO, taking from the
free States 81, 500 000-only three and one-hall
per cent. of the whole amount of their pro-
auctions.

Melancholy Condition of Education In
Spnin-A Fine Opening for BOOlsellers.

A correspondent OF the London Atheneufn,
writing from Simancas, Spain, in December
last, draws this unattractivG picture of the
state of things in that country:
1t is, think, widely-spread opinion that
the Spaniards are too indolent to trouble
themselves with questions respecting the
education of their children. !, at least, when
formerly travelling in Spain, took that for
granted. Closer observation, however,
teaches me that j was wrong. IT is a fact
which l can attest from my own knowledge,
that in Simancas and its neighborhood there
are only few field laborers and shepherds
to be found who are not able to read and to
write, and who do not know the rudiments
of arithmetic.
Formerly, when the converts were numer-
Gus and the number of the monks legion,
there was scarcely family, even among the
poorest, member of which had not entered
holy orders; and the love Of their family
prevailing over their iDdolence the monks
became teachers of their younger brothers
and sisters, nephews and nieces. After the
suppression of the converts, a very eXten.
sive system of popular instruction was es-
tablished. In our village of about 1000
souls we have two public schools, one for
boys and one for girls; and the small ham
leIs in the DeighboIhood, consisting oftwenty
or forty houses, are besides provided with
their own little schools.
The schoolmasters and schoolmistresses
are independent of the Church. They are
lay persons, and appointed and paid by the
Aynntamientos, or common councils. My
friend, the maestro of the boys in Simancas,
is good humored, healthy. looking man, of
about fifty years of age. On school. days he
teaches his disciples what be has learned
from his master; and on holidays he likes
to spend some hours in the here ordinarily
vain attempt TO shoot rabbit or partridge.
As far as the most elementary instruction
is concerned, Spain has no reason to be
afraid of a comparison with other countries.
But her weak point consists in her almost
complete absence of useful books the con-
sequence is, that though even the common
people are generally able to write and to
| read letter and to keep their accounts
their ideas remained undeveloped, theiI
views narrow, and the ignorance on all mat
tiers which do not touch them Immediately
| is all but complete.

THB CoTToE FACTORY EMPLOYEES IN En-
GLAND-The total number of persons act
ually engaged in the cotton factories in En-
gland in 1856 amounted to 379, ,l70 of whom
nineteen per cent. were men, fifty women,
and thirty one boys and girls. Allowing for
natural increase and dependent trades, in
clu6ing machinists, laborers, and agricul-
tural and domestic labor employed in pro-
ducing food the total number of persons re-
ceiving support from cotton manufactures
at present is estimated at 100000 or about
three per cent. of the whole population.
The statement then, that one-half of the pop
ulation of England depends on cotton for
support is an eKaggeration. Of her total
cotton supply, England last year received
$4,000 bales from other sources besides the
United States.

An Unpleasant Picture Of Lola nIoutez's
IIfn- lnn.. NJ uo- Idin.-..-..l..

An Unpleasant Picture Of Lola nTOutez'a
Life-Some Of Her Idiosyncrasies.
Lola Montez, as she was in England, is the
subject of a sketch furnished the New York
Tribune, from which we take the following
passages;
No one who has seen Lola during the last
two years can doubt her sincere penitence
and earnest desire to do all the good in her
power. Like other Magdalenes, she was an
enthusiast, and believed In sensible divine
manifestations, going, like a child to its
mother, on her knees TO God, for guide and
counsel in all concerns of life, and then
awaiting the responses which in singular
ways were vouchsafed 70 her, as she often
reeounted.
/ may here mention that she did not vrits
her lectures, nor any Of the books that are as
cri6ed to her-not one Of them, as she has often
told me.
Lola was spiritualist strictly temperate,
rarely tasting even a drop of wine, very fond
of learning facts and statistics, so that she
was often called a walking encyclopedia.
She sang with feeling, accompanying herself
on the piano, and was much given to casuis-
try and discussion, but with no more logic
than less famous women. Indeed, she was
unbearable at times, when it was quite evi-
dent she was on the wrong side Of the de-
bate, and would fly into such passion as no
one could withstand, and have frequently
known her thus to break up pleasant party.
She would never confess to being in the
wrong, and her friends were forced to charge
her errors to the ebullitions of an uncontrol-
able temper, and no one ever asked her to
apologize. Her memory was remarkable,
forgetting nothing; and she read books with
the greatest rapidity. Her knowledge of
continental languages was imperfect, and
with all her conceit, she was painfully con-
scious of it, and would never speak but in
English, if she could help it.
When a woman has many masculine
points of character, we are apt to judge her
by the standard of men. In that view Lola
would greatly suffer, for she was utterly
wanting in fixed principle. She had no real
gratitude, and was quite regardless of truth
even in these last years when her ardent de-
sire was to be good Christian, her lax ma
tive character was stronger than her new
resolves, and she would utter the most alb
surd untruths.
She was very kind to the humble and
poor, but oftentimes impertinent and insult
ing to the middle-classes. Like all people
born in England, orRwho have spent the
early part of their life there, she was a wor-
shipper of the aristocracy, and in her giddy
moments would boast of her former friend
ships with titled people. Yet, | have heard
her tell Englishmen, who perchance would
meet her at dinner, that she loved and ad
mired the New York fremen and Bowery
boys better than any other classes in all tho
world,

ALARMING DISTRESS IN LOEDoN.-The dis
tress in the metropolis continues to fear
full extent. Indeed, it seems to prevail in a
degree much more than proportionate to the
extent Of the population of London over
other towns in the Empire, and this must
arise from the immense number of persons
resident there whose living is only procur-
able when the weather is moderate.
The police offices are besieged every morn
ing with men and women who are in dis
tressed condition and though the benevo-
-lence, which so strikingly characterizes lthe
inhabitants of London, has been put into
active operation, yet there must be great
mass Of suffering which never meets the
public eye.

ROYAL PRESENT TO GARIBALDI's DAUaH-

present to Teresita, Garibaldi's daughter,
who is now residing with her father at Ca
prera. II is diamond necklace, with gold
ear rings TO match, and was to have been
presented to her on New-Year's Day, but
the stormy sea prevented its being received
in time. 1t is to be hoped that no over.
strained notions of abnegation may prevent
the hermit of Oaprera from accepting gift
which expresses the warm friendship the
giver has for Garibaldi.

MARKED TRANSPORTATION IN New En-
GLAND MnLs,-At Lawrence, Mass, among
others, are the Pacific Mills, which consist
of two buildings, each nearly 900 feet in
length. Their full complement of employees
is now 2,lOO and will be 2, 700 as soon as tue
machinery is all set up in an extension of the
main building, just completed. The raw
cotton goes in in bales at one end, and comes
out at the other manufactured goods, ready
for the market. Curious ladies' by strolling
the print and delaine departments, can learn
what styles are to prevail several months
hence. Ore of the machines for printing
delaines, stamps the piece with sixteen differ.

NEW ENGLAND LABOR. SAVING MACHINEs.--
At Haverhill, Mass, twenty five persons,
with certain machinery, produce 600 pairs of
babies shoes daily. Ali the stitching is done
by sewipg-mschines run by steam-a COM
bipation Of the two greatest mechanical in-
ventions. Every operation, except fitting
the shoe to the last, even to the final polish
ing, and cutting the pegs out of the inside to
prevent them from hurting the foot, is per-
formed by machinery. One of the greatest
inserts the awl, cuts out the pegs from a strip
of wood, and drives them in, all at one opera
ton, and so rapidly that it will peg two rows
around the sole of shoe in twenty seconds.
The facilities in this manufactory are such
that the raw ealfskin and sole leather can
be taken in the basement of the building, and
in half an hour turned out in the form of a
complete pair of shoes

A BALLET GIRL WITH FIVE HUsBANDs.-
An extraordinary case of bigamy has been
developed in Dublin. Kate Collins, ballet
dancer, who has been for some time bewitch-
ing the residents of the Irish capital, sud-
denly vanished, her object being to escape
from the clutches of the law; the gentle
Kitty being charged with marrying no less
than five husbands, each of whom had been
remitting her weekly sums for her support.
The discovery was made by the unexpected
meeting of three of the duped Benedicts at
her residence.

TIE PRINCE OF WALEs's ENTRY INTO CAM
RRIDsE.-The Prince of Wales made quite q
brilliant entry into Cambridge on the 18th
ult., on his way to his College. The bells of
the town were rung and flags and banners
displayed, while the municipal authorities,
in the servile phraseology in use abroad,
''humbly craved permission to offer to His
Royal Highness" their congratulations. The
Prince was then duly matriculated a member
Of the University, swearing to maintain the
supremacy of the sovereign, her heirs and
successors, the Church Of England as by law
established, and the privileges and immuni-
ties Of the University. After this there was
q regular scramble among the ladies present
for the pen with which the Prince signed the
matriculation book. The Prince, we are
told, put on his academical robes, went
through the buildings with the master Of the
College, Rev. DIR. Whewell, and ended the
day in the Tennis Court with General Bruce
