the revolted States In 1850 was, 1872
9S6, of which 2,S09,3G2 were slaves. In
1850 the grand total was 9.4G6,6S9, of
which S,SS4,436 were slaves. The iu-

years was l,llS,73O. OF the slaves L.

In 1860 it amounted TO 2l,599.464. The

double that of the reYolted States.

So passed they, fearless, where the parted wave
With eloven crest uprearing from the sand

So led He them, in desert marches grand,

Wherein their heritage of glory lay.

And Amorite spears flashed keen and fearful

Still the same pathway must their footsteps

But comes by throes of mortal agOnyi
No man-child among nations of the earth
But findeth baptism in q stormy SEA.

How 'sshoddy" is Made.

WOOlen rags are worth So and $40 per
ton, for making cloth. Fine black scraps
are worth 500 and sl50 per ton. The
shOddy manufacturer passes them through
rag machine, which tears the rags to
wool, and cleans them Of dust When re-
duced to soft wool, the shoddy is saturated
with oil or milk, and mixed with new wool,
in as large proportion as possible.
White shoddy is used in blankets and
light-colOred goods, and the dark deserip-
tons for coarse kinds of cloths, carpets,
etc. The ''shoddy" is the product of soft
wOollens, but hard or black cloths, when
treated in similar manner, produce ''mun-
CO." which is used extensively In super
fine cloths, which have finish that may
deceive good judge. 1t IS used largely
in felted fabrics. Shoddy in the cloth Of
a coat will soon rub out Of the cloth, and
accumulate between it and the lining. In
New York there are six shoddy mills, most
Of them on the North River.

A Well-Mixed Race.

There is now in Rochester New York, a
man who is l06 years of age, whose ances-
try, together with his own progeny, will
exhibit one of the straneest mixture Of
races ever heard Of His name is John
Shenandoah 0'Brien, and he was born in
Boston, 1856. His father was an Irish
man, and his mother an Indian of the
Oneida tribe. When twelve years old, he
was sent to France, and there educated as
4 physician. He returned to this country
and served in the Revolutionary War; af-
terwards he went back to France, and
there married the daughter of the Emperor
of Morocco, by whom he had eight children;
with her he lived in the United States for
some time. He then married an American
woman, descended from Teutonic line, and
after her death married negress, who was
fifty years younger than himself, and by
whom he had four children. In his chill
dren are united the blood of the Celts, the
TeutOns, the African, and the North Amer
lean Indians.

The health of the regiment is not good.
The recent severe exposure to which the
men have been subjected, has had a seri-
Gus effect upon their constitutions. Many
are prostrated from severe colds, while 9TH
ers are sick with feyers. Since l last

Bowman and Bough. Sixteen were report
ed sick this morning. We moved our
tents yesterday, and by 10 o'clock at night
they were again flooded with water. The
men were compelled to collect on the high
est ground, around their camp fires, with
out sleep or rest.

Revival Of Business.

With the war confined to their south
ern border, with the ocean and Europe
wide open before them, with the vast West
heaving up its immense wealth of produc-
tion behind them, and pouring it over up
on their railroads, canals and marts, and
with unprecedented money on hand, there
is no valid reasen whatever why the At
lantie States should not now be astir again
with their wonted energy. The loans take
up great amounts of our capital, but take
it up only to give it circulation, and there
by give impulse to business. 1t is bor-
rowed from the people, but it should be
borne in mind that it is to be thrown d.
rcctly back upon the people, in public tx
penditures, and be thus the more effectual-
ly brought into play in the business of the
nation; the interest at intervals will re-
peat this impulse, and the principal at
last, when the war is settled, is again to
be thrown back upon us, to put the climax
on the salutary scheme. Were our nation
al loans to be expended abroad, as in Eu-
ropean foreign wars, the case would be
very materially different. Let us then
cheerfully and patriOtically welcome the
new burdens, for while they press upon us
in some respects they help us in others

astute chapters of his fourth volume, gives
the history of the enormous English debt,
and shows that, on the principle that it is

plies the revenue. it has been and will con-
tinue to be one of the greatest sources of
rational wealth and security. He con-
cludes as follows:

UNITED STATES STEAMER, SILVER

UNITED STATES STEAMER, SILvERl
LAKE, Ohio River, Sept 20.
EOIToRs CHRONICLE We are once
more on this noble river We left
Charleston, last Sunday morning, with the
remains of Lowe, who was killed in the
late battle at Carnifax's Ferry We also
had on board several officers, wounded in
the same battle; among them was Col
Lytle, of the 10th Ohio regiment. On ar
irving at at-GallipOlis, Ohio. the terminus of
our usual route, we were ordered to Gin
cinnati- This..was alike unexpected and
gratifying. We had been so long in the
mountains, away from civilization, that the
thought of once more visiting, even for a
brief period, city so attractive as Cincin-
matt, had wonderful effect upon our flag
ging spirits. The occasion was not one
which admitted of much hilarity.
There are some things connectad with
the death Of Col Lowe, which are peculiar
ly painful. You viii remember that af.
ter the battle at Scary Creek, some news
papers accused him of cowardice saying
that he hid behind church, to avoid dan
ger, while his men were exposed to a Sc
we're fire from the enemy. This was false,
as the facts clearly show. At the time he
is charged with having hid behind the
house, it is fact that it was the most dan
gerous place on the whole field. One can
non ball passed entirely through the build
ing, and others were flying about it thick
and fast; but the fact is, he was not near
the spot where the building was located
Stung BY this false imputation of coward
ice the Colonel asked and received permis-
sion to lead in the..attack at the ferry.
While calamity rushing forward to the
enemies works, he was killed by rife
bullet, In the forehead.
A trip down the Ohio river is very pleas
ant The scenery is very beautiful; no
other words can properly express it.
There is nothing grand and startling in the
scenery, to hold one in constant wonder,
but just sufficient of beauty to keep one in
constant admiration. There is very little
difference in the appearance of the banks
of the river. Sometimes the hills come
close down to the river on one side. while
on the other, beautiful valley stretches
away as far as the eye can reach. The
scene is constantly changing. The hills

To Local Directors of Oar Common
Schools.

The State School Commissioner, of Ohio,
in an address, of Oct l, 1861, thus speaks
to the Local Directors:
1st. You should employ no teachers
who have not, at the time of their employ
1ae1lt, legal certificates of their required
qualifications The disregard of the re-
quirement of the statute in this particular,
has been the cause of numerous difficulties
and of great damage to school interests.
Sec. 10 of the law is definite and decided
on the subject.
If the applicant knows that you are for
bidden to employ one who has not at the
time, legal certificate, he virtually solicits
you to commit the crime of PERJURY, since
he is aware that you have taken a solemn
oath, not to do that which be would tempt
you to do. In many instances teachers
have been employed and have taught for
weeks previous to their examination; and
when the day of trial came, have failed to
receive certificates; or have by indulgent
examiners, been suffered to pass, simply
because trouble would thus be avoided, and
not because they were qualified to teach.
Township clerks have NO LEGAL right to
draw orders in payment of teachers for
time not covered by certificates of qualif-
cations, granted by lawful examiners
3D. When teachers are employed. WRIT
TEN CONTRACTS should be entered into be-
tween the contracting parties. See form
of agreement on page so Of the edition of
School Laws published in 1853.
Sd. Teachers should be employed ONLY
By TIE ACTION OF ALL TIE LOCAL DIREC-
TORS.
4th. The BEST QUALIFIED teachers are,
in the end, the CHEAPEST, and incompetent
teachers always cost more than they are
worth.

Don't Croak.

The n. Y. Chronicle has some excellent
advice to those pests of society who are al
ways groaning over present troubles. and
anticipating future ones. The class is
somewhat numerous at present, and the ad-
vice timely: ''No, no, friend reader, what
ever other weak and unmanly things you
do, DON'T cRoAK. 1t is a bad habit, use
less habit, perniciOus habit. and in a Pc
riOd like the present, positive sinful. If
times are hard, eroaking won't better them.
If business is dull, work the harder. and
smile the more. Your neiehbors will thank
you for it, your wife will thank you for it,
your children will thank you for it. 1t is
impossible to ruin a man who works hard;
he is always cheerful, and won't believe
himself ruined. If man imagines every
straw that lies in his way an impossible
barrier, or when his path becomes really
difficult, sits down on the nearest curb
stone and goes to blubbering over his "bsd
luck" instead of exerting himself brave
" and cheerfully to surmount the obstacle
and change the "luck." he cannot of course
expect to succeed. Such man not only
fails himself, but discourages his neigh
bOrs, and helps to pull them down. Croak-
ing is as contagious as the measles, and
twice as destructive to manly vigOr and
health. No man has any more right to
introduce the one malady than the other
Society instinctiyely shuns sour face, and
always feels kindly towards pleasantOne,
and society is right. Care Canm-be-
