Yankee books is not affected by he ioar, and
that. few DAYS ago, he had an order for o

by an eminent Southern scholar, which is
confessed to be the best in the language.
There was one sentiment in the tirst letter
of Prince Napoleon from this country, which
filed us with dismay. He freely expressed
10 this letter his opinion of the up hill job
which the North had undertaken in its at

that, in his opinion, after the war, trade
would resume its usual channels.

One of the first orders of General Halleck,
on assuming the command of the army in
Missouri was one to exclude fugitive slaves
from the camps, as they have been detected
giving military information to the rebels.
This is the experience Of nearly all our mill
tary men brought in contact with fugitive
saves. They are unreliable, tricky and de-
ceitful. We have yet TO know Of an instance
where the negro has shown disposition to
aid the friends of the Union. They come to
our camps, procure what information they
CAP, and in a short time "turn up missing.
1t is the impression of many military men
that slaves have been used as emissaries to
convey intelligence to the rebels. We are
not surprised, therefore, that General Hal
leck has given orders to exclude fugitive
slaves from the camps.
Many of them, who rushed to meet ouI
soldiers on landing on South Carolina, after
working day OF two for the Federal forces

Wanted-mittens. .

Unless the army of the Union winters
further downin Dixie than the banks Of the
Potomac, there will soon be an imperative
call for protection for the hands of our SOL
diers. half million pairs of warm wooden
mitens will be wanted before a month.
Handling the musket with benumbed fingers
is not pleasant task; and, in fact, more SOL
diois are said to have been disabled from this
cause in the Crimea than from any other.
Here then, is a chance for nimble patriotic
fingers. Let the ladies, in place Of investing
in Berlin wool, buy stout gray yarn, and
replace the work of fleecy broidery by the
knitting of nice warm gloves for the stout
musket. bearing hands that ara now sustain
ing the cause which makes their homes worth
having. Every lady should see to it that she

VINO WANTS TO BE AN EDITOR Some
people think it is "big thing" to be an
editor. Well, perhaps it is-but we don't
see it. A fellow is dead-headed into cir
cuses and concerts, and rides on some of
the railroads free, but that one fact nearly
destroys all Of the pleasure. When we had
to scrimp for o week to get dollar to buy
q seat at the opera the delight experienced
was proportioned to the sacrifice of money
it cost us. When you can ride on railroad
for nothing you don't care q snap about go.
ing at all and 50 on. An editor occasion
ally gets presents, but they are nine times
out of ten articles Of no sort Of use TO him
or any one else.
In his paper be may say forty good
things unapplauded, but if he happens
through some oarelessness to get off an OBJ
noxious paragraph he catches - from
the entire community. If ne omits any
thing he is lazy. If he speaks of things as
they are, people are mad. If he CLOSES
over-if he smothes down the rough points,
he is bribed. If he calls things by their
proper Names he is unfit for the position of
editor. If he does not furnish his readers
with jokes, he is q mullet. If he does he is
a rattle-head, wanting stability. If he con-
demns the wrong he is a good fellow, but
lacks discretion. If he lets wrongs and in
juries 90 unmentioned he is a coward. If
he upholds public man he does it to graf
ify spite-is a tool Of a clique, or belongs to
the "out." If he indulges in personalities
he is q blackguard-if he does not his
paper is dull and insipid. a.
They put Job through very hard course
Of sprouts according to Holy Writ but there

of his friends-cursed and died. %
