feat, than vines resemble oaks. or sputtering
rush lights the stars Of heaven. Effort per-
sisted to achievements trains a man to self
reliance, and when he has proved to the world
that he can trust himself, the world viii trust
him. We say therefore. that it is unwise to
deprive young men Of the advantages which
result from energetic action, by ~bcosting"

The valua Of Indian Corn.

FOR the following interesting information "a
regard to this little understood kind Of food,
we are indebted To Hunts Merchant Mage
zins:
By those who do not know, or are too scien..
tifc to profit by the experience Of nations Of
men and herds of fat cattle: Indian corn, rice,
buckwbeat, etc, are only considered good fod,
der. Leibig states that if we we're subject to
the same degree Of cold "a the Somoiedes, VT
should be able to consume the half OF call
and dozen candles alta single meal, Duinsr
excessive fatigue in low temperature, wheat
-four fails to sustain the system. This is owing
to deficiency in the clements necessary to sup
ply animal heat, and the strong desire for olsa-
gnous substances, has led to the belief that
animal food is necessary to The human support
But late scientific experiments has led TO bet
ter acquaintance with the habits Of the North
American Indians, have shown that vegetabls
oil answers the same purpose ae animal food
that one pound Of parched India corn, or an
equal qpantity Of cornmeal. made into bread. Is
more than equivalent 10 Two pounds of fat
meat
Meal from Indian corn, Contains more than
four times as much oleagiuous matter as wheat
-four; moro siacrh, aud is consequently capable
Of producing more sugar though less glutin, in
other important compounds it contains nearly
as much nitrogenous material. The comhina
tion OF alimentary compounds IN Indian corn
renders it alone the mixed diet capable of sus.
tanning man urder the more extraordinary cir
cGnistauces. In it there.is a natural coalescencO
of elementary principles which constitute the
basis of organic life, that exhsts in no other
vegetable production. Inultimate composition,
in nutritious properties, in digesibiliiy, and in
its adoption Il tho various necessities Of ami
NAL life in the different climates OF the earth,
cornmeal is capable Of supplying more OF the
absolute wants,t to the adult human system, than
any other single substance in nature.

THE FUGITIvEs AT FoRTREss McSRoE.-We .
learn by the steamer Georgiana that gangs "f
fugitive slaves, in parties Of twenty or thirty
were constantly arriving at Fortress Monroe,
over one hundred having reached there on
Monday. Some of them said they were
about being sent South, and others alleged
that they came in to get food- They COM
planned that whilst they were kept at work in
the sandhiis the soldiers eat up ali the food.
They were received as contrahand Of war, and
set to work inside Of the Fortress, where la
borers are much needed. Some of them were
recognized rs from Norfolk, and are believed
to be partly free negroes who were compelled
to work in the Qualifications.

TGE ATTACK on WAsHINGToN.-A friend of
JEFF. Davis writes that his purpose, not long
siucc, was to postpone the intended attack up
on Washington until July, thinking that there
would occur an interval between the three
months men and the three years men, the for
mer having become tired of camp-lile and
homrsck, and the latter being still undisci-
pined But JEFF. overlooked three considera-
tions-th u good chance to fight takes the
homesickness out of a Northerneri that the
three years men would be called into service
before the three months were up, and would
be drilling in the meantime; and that for
ward movement, such as is now taking place,
would materially affect the position OF Wash
iugton from n military point Of view, and force
the traitors to attend to several other matters
before capturing the Federal Capital.

Mas. JEFF. 11tvrs AND Mrs. BEAtREdARD
IN MAssAcnUsr TTs.-It is a noteworthy fact
that the wives + Southern leaders in the re-
bellion are being sent North. their husbands
doubtless deeming them more safe in the loyal
than in the lavless portion of the Union.
The Lynn (Mlss.) Bay Stale states that
Mrs Jefferson 'lavis, with her children. arc
stopping with Mr.. Ieverett Davis, OF North
Saugus, cousin Of the redoubta6le President,
and that Mrs. Boauregard, wife of the COM
mander of the Confederate forces, is stopping
in Barnes Shots in Dye House village, Lynn.

THE FOLLY OF SEcEssIoN.-A Southern pa
per says:-"t will be a miracle if the cotton
planters are not ruined by their rebellion
Every event seems to conspire for their de-
struction. There is imminent danger Of the
immediate and violent overthrow of slavery;
and at any rate, there is strong probability
Il al the institution will be materially nlodi-
fed before the termination Of the war. These
are the direct consequences likely to low from
the rebellion and to them will be added, in all
human probability, the destruction Of the value
of slaves by the destruction Of the monopoly
now enjoyed in the production of cotton
The opinion gains gro und daily, that whatever
else may happen, slavery will be destroyed or
fatally wounded in the conflict of arms, and
IRON appearances it encounters the greatest
risk at the hands of its friends"

Character of the Southern Privateer.

1t must be borne in mind that those who
take out letters of marque do not go out as
honorable soldiers or sailors. meaning to fight
the regular troops and ships of the nation
against whom they are commissioned. Posi-
bly,, if they cannot escape cruiser, they NAV
fight hard to get away, but so long as they can
they will avoid armed vessels. They are sneaks
and towards by profession, as well as robbers
What they go ont for u.s. openly and avowedIy,
TO prey upon the weak, to plunder unarmed
merchant vessels, giving a wide berth to those
whom they cannot take at disadvantage. It
is bad enough that any nation OF power, pre-
tending to be civilized, should encourage its
own citizens to engage in privuteering. But
to enlist foreigners, citizens of neutral States
to go about commissioning the scum of the
scoundrelism of the world, and bounding them
on against men of their own blood and tongue
this is an etrocity which it has been re
served for the slave States to pernetuate. A
we will not call them-which
founds itself expressly on Slavery, and inaug-
urates its birth by the attempt to revive the
custom of issuing letters Of marque to FOR

those Englishman, if any such should be found,
(Which we will rot readily believe) who may
accept commissions Of this kind, all we can say
of them is that they will have so wholly mis-
takon their work in this world, that the sooner
it is rid of them the better We most hearth

The stafo Of Arkansas is doing big
thing" Her convention has passed militia
ry bill, authorizing the Governor to call ont
60 900 men il necessary. Ithalves the State
into two grapl divisions, eastern and western,
and appoints one Brigdder General for each.
The total vote of Arkansas last fall was un-
der 10000. Should, therefore, the Governor
use TO its extent the discretion placed in his
hands, he will call ont the entire adult white
population OF the State.

great world, with all its wealth and woe,
with all its mines and mountains, its
oceans, seas, and rivers, with all its ship
ping, its steamboats,, railroads and mag
netic telegraphs-with all its millions of
men and all the progress and science of
ages, will soon be given over to the hands
of the boys of the present age-boys like
you, assembled in the school rooms, or
playing without them, on both sides of the
Atlantic Believe it, and look abroad
upon your Inheritance, and get ready to
enter upon its possession. The kings,
presidents, governors, statesmen, philoso-
piers, ministers, teachers, men Of the
future, all were boys, whose feet, like yours,
cannot reach the floor, when seated on the
benches upon which they are learning to
master the monosyllables of their respective
languages"
