DuT1Rs OF DAILY LIFE.--Life is not en-
tirely made up Of great evils or heavy trials
but the perpetual recurrence Of petty. evils
and small trials is tho ordinary and ap-
pointed exercise of the Christian graces.
10 bear with the failings Of those about
us-with their inirmities, their bad judg-
ment their ill-breeding, their perverse
temperate endure neglect when we feel we
deserved attention, and ingratitude where
we expect thanks-to bear with the com
pany Of disagreeable people whom Provi-
dence has placed in our way, and whom lie
has provided or purposed for the trial Of
our virtue-these are the best exercises OF
patience and selfdenial and the better be-
cause not chosen by ourselves To bear
with vexation in business, with disappoint-
ment in our expectations, with Interrupt
tions of our retirement, with folly, intrusion
disturbance-in short, with whatever op-
poses our will or contradicts our humor-
this habitual acquiescenoe appears to be
more Of the essence of self-denial than any
little rigors or Affections of our own impos.
ing. These constant inevitable but in
ferior evils, properly improved, furnish o
good moral discipline, and might, in the
days of ignorance, have superseded pill
grimage and penance.-Hanndh More.

From the ST. Louis Republican, of yester-
day, we learn that General Price had ad-
vanced from his position at Oiceola, on his
way to Wsrrensburg and Lexington. This
precipitate movement was made, doubtless,
with the intention of protecting the rebel
forces assembling at Lexington. The com
mander of the Union troops seems to have
been advised of all their movements, for
since Friday last he has been sending all his
forces against the enemy, with design to
meet and destroy him.
Accordingly, General Pope's troops, by
forced marches had advanced so rapidly as
to put themselves Immediately in the rear of
Prices army, thereby cutting off his retreat
and in force sufficient to defeat him in battle.
General Popes command consisted of from
$4,000 to 10000 troops, with good proper
tion of cavalry and artillery. 1t was conf
IDENTIFY expected that an engagement would
take place on Tuesday, and in that event,
there can be little doubt of the result.
From Rolla, we hear that a rumor obtained
credence that General Mcbride, with 1900
men, was approaching that command, and
prompt measures were taken to meet and
CAPTURE him.

Letrersto Pr,soners of war.

As all letters designed for prisoners of war
now in the hands of the Confederates must
undergo inspection by an officer before being
delivered, General Wool recommends that
bIevity be consulted, as the time can not be
afforded to peruse those of great length.
According to the statement of correspond
ent of the Fitchburg ReUsille, the General
wishes it understood by the community that
letters should not extend much beyond one
psge of letter size or an equivalent in the
smaller sizes of paper. They will be much
more likely to be received by those for whom
they are intended, for the Confederate off.
GERS will put themselves to no trouble to
look over long letters and deliver to prisoners.
Great care should so be taken that nothing
very offensive to the rebels should be con-
taintd in them, for otherwise they will be
pretty certain to be suppressed. 1t is also
best 10 deposit in the envelope (which mus
be left unsealed) the amount Of the Confed
crate postage, which is five cents to any par
of otYirginia and ten cents beyond All money
inclosed must be gold. BY observing thesC
directions the letters will be pretty likely t
reach their destination.

Colonel Oorcnrnn.

1t is stated by deserter from Confede-
rate vessel, who has arrived in this country
from Bermuda, where he made his escape,
that when the news of Colonel Corcoran's 8
sentence of close confinement as hostage
for the priVateer Captain, condemned at New
York, reached Charleston, the effect of the
news upon the Irish population was terrible.
The Irish generally became so excited that
two regiments, exclusively of Irishmen, had
to be removed to sullivans Island for the
purpose of preventing an outbreak. The
brave Colonel of the New York Sixty-niuth
has acted like hero on various occasions
when he has been offered liberty on condi-
tion that he promise not to take up arms
against the rebels during the present contest
He uniformly declines all such offers. The
lovely and smiable ladies of Charleston
FIRST families only are anxious that Colonel
Corcoran should be hanged. They say he il
fit subject for the rope, and for nothing
else. The gentlemen are not quite SO viru
lent as their wives and daughters.

ProoInmn,Ion Of General Phelps.

One Of the most extraordinary documents
in the shape of military proclamation, since
the commencement of the present war, is the
proclamation Of General Phelps issued at
Ship Island, Mississippi, to the people of the
Southwest. After saying that, "contrary
to my private inclinstions, | again find my
self among you as military officer of the
Government" he makes a bold stroke, as
follows:
ave believe that every State that has been
admitted as a slave State into the Union,
since the adoption of the Constitution, has
been so admitted in direct violation of the
Constitution.
1--WE believe that the slave States which
existed, as such, at the adoption of our Con-
stitution, are, by becoming parties to that
compact under the highest obligations of
honor and morality TO abolish slavery"
Const quently, according to the theory of
this renowned General all the slave States
admitted since the Constitution was adopted,
are now out of the Union, because the acts
of Congress admitting them were unconst-
tutional. The States in rebellion have not
seeded; they never were really in the Unionl
After disposing of those States that were
admitted Internationally, General Phelps
declares that the other slave States are under
the 'highest obligations of honor and mo.
rality to abolish slavery" This they will
no doubt proceed to do immediately
General Phelps next proceeds to convince
the people of the South that slavery is en-
tirely wroDg-that it degrades white labor,
and that it can not any longer be tolerated.
We shall now have new order of things.
General Phelps has wiped out every thing
that has been adopted by Congress since the
formation of the Constitution, relative to the
admission Of slave States, throwing them
back into territorial cspacityl
Solomon said that 'there was nothing
new under the sun" If the old Patriarch
could make his appearance among us about
this time, we are inclined to the belief that
be would Acknowledge the corn" and con-
fess that General Phelps proclamation was
| really something new.

FpElaud and France.

By the arrival of the Jura we learn that
the excitement in England, caused by the
arrest of Mason and Slidell, continues una
bated, but that the people of France appear
to look upon the matter as of no very great
. importance, and desire to see reconcilia.
tion between the United States and England.
We feel assured that no important step
one that can not be retTaced without dis
honor-vill be taken by England in refer
ence to the Trent affair, without consultation
with the French Government. Although
there is no friendly feeling between the peo
ple of the two nations, a close alliance ex
lists between the GOvernments-neither will
make any impor tant movement without con-
sulting the other. They thus act as check
upon each other-France being governed by
principle, and England by interest
England sought an alliance with France
TO keep Russia from overunning Turkey
and destroying the balance of power in
Europe, because she was unable, single
handed, 10 cope with Russia, and self pre-
servation required a check upon the ambi.
ton of the latter. Without the aid of
France the English soldiers would have
been driven into the Black Sea, and Con
stantinople taken possession of by the Rus.
sian hosts.
The two Governments united in the ex.
pedition to China, and now, together with
Spain, in the one to Mexico; and it is not
likely that England would involve herself
in a war with the United States without the
appreciation of France, when law aud pre-.
cedent are against her, merely to satisfy a
prejudiced popuace.
The English people can not forget the
defeat of their troops in the two wars in
which England and the United States have
been engaged as belligerents. They think
our difficulties at home, at this time,
affords them an opportunity that may
never sgsin present itself TO wipe
out the disgrace attending their mill
tary expeditions to this country on those two
occasions. Such warlike demonstrations as
arenow going on in different parts of Eng
land would not be witnessed if we were al
peace with ourselves. The French, though
as much interested as the English, so far al
principle goes, are not pref udiced against th'
people of this country. On the other hand
in our former contests with England, the,
not only strongly sympathized with US, bu
afforded US mutual assistance. The feeling
of the French people will, therefore, ss re
CARDS the Trent affair, be governed entirely
by principle; and the announcement in oul
dispatches that they desire a reconciliation
between England and the United States, i
not to us xpeeted-believing that we ar
lily prepared at this time for contest wit
so great power as the former. Were GU
situation otherwise the French people would
no doubt, have no particular objection t
seeing England get another sound thrashinl
at our bands.
Louis Napoleon has shown himself to be
wise monarch, and Ia profound statesman
With the principles of international law h
is perfectly conversant; and if the seizur
of Mason and Slidell was a legal act-whic
it has been acknowledged by nearly all tn
London journals = England will have t
'grin and bear it,"

nTIIItary nTovements I'm Knpsu,

The Kansas Brigade will winter at Fort
Scott or at least remain there for awhile in
order to recruit and draw together the scat
tered Kansas regiments Colonel Jennison
will move to that post when he gets through
in Missouri. The Kansas First is expected
back shortly. The Second is being reorgan-
lied and its ranks are filling up. Colonel
Davis cavalry regiment, the Twelfth, has
about 600 men in quarters, and the Eleventh,
Colonel Root, has about 500 men enlisted.
When all the Kansas forces assemble they
will be respectable army, consisting of not
lefs than 5000 effective men. There will be
ten regiments, though all are not full. Gem
eral Lane and friends at Washington are
urging that their young State is fairly enti.
tied to the appointment of Major General
and two Brigadiers.

TrInI Of q New Steam Gus.

On Saturday afternoon a trial was made,
at the Illinois Central Machine shop, Of a ne "
steam gun which has been constructed by
Mr.. II. Chapman Of this city. His machine
Yves made At the Central Shop and was pro-
PEELED by steam from the engine which run
the machinery there. The gun is compact
affair, covering a space of about three feet
square, and being of the hight of an ordis
nary table. The principle by which the pro.
iectie power is gained is centrifugal force.
The arrangement issimple, consisting merely
of two horizontal plates, composing q wheel,
about two feet in diameter, by fitting closely
together. Two semicircuar grooves are cut
between them, extending in opposite direc
tions from, the center TO the circumference.
The bullets are fed through hopper to an
opening in the center of the upper plate,
grooves, when they change their di-
Iection, and are projected by the centrifugal
force to the outer edge of the wheel. They
traverse the entire circumference in an
other grooved channel, acquiring projectile
force at the rate of ten thousand revolutions
a minute and also receiving the spinning
motion which is impaired only by the twist
Of rife bore. Having travelled the circum-
ference once, the bullet is thrown out
throuRha 9 gun. barrel which is fixed at an
exact tangent TO the curve. This barrel is
movable with the bed of the machine, and
takes any range or elevation.
The inventor calculates that the centrifu-
gal force is equal to two thousand pounds
To this is added the tremendous propulsion
around the circle at the rate of five, eight
or ten thousand revolutions minute, which
is sufficient 10 send the bullets out in q
stream that is literally continuous. Two
bullets are thrown at every revolution
which makes from ten to twenty thousand
discharges minute, according to the velo
city Of the machine Chicago Journal.

No Land Warran,s TO soId,er.,

1t appears that the Secretary of the In
bounty. land warrants to the volunteers en-
gsged in the present war, on the ground that
a warrant for one hundred and sixty acres
to each volunteer would absorb over one
hundred millions of acres, which would de-
prive the Govern nent of all income from
this source, and would afford but little bene-
fit to the volunteers. The warrants are now
sold in the market at about fifty cents per
acre, and if this large additional quantity
was thrown in the market the prices would
be reduced to a mere nominal. The bounty
of the Government, dispensed to the voun-
teers in this form, would fail to realize TO
them the advantages intended. All the best
lands would fall into the hands of specu.
lators, who would be enabled to purchase
them at a nominal price and sell them to
settlers at full prices as fast as emigration to
the West would require them for settlement
If additional compensation to the volunteers,
beyond the amount now authorized by law,
shall be deemed just and proper, the Secre-
tary suggests that it will be better, both for
the Government and volunteers, to make
such compensation by direct appropriation
of money, or of Government securities This
would give them the full benefit of the ap-
propriations made, while the Government
would, by keeping the lands until they shall
be demanded for settlement, realize their full
value ,.

MEXICAN LETTERS OF MARQUE-How John
Bull Burned his Fingers The New York
correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer,
dated the 18th inst, says:
1t comes out to day that the last mail from
Vera Cruz (vid Havana) brought large sup
ply of Mexican letters of marque, to parties
here, who you may be sure, will lose no time
in turning them to practical account.
Though ''our sick man." Mexico, istoo feeble
to make any resistance at home to the three
big bullies that, taking advantage of his
weakness, have gone to take possession OF
his seaports with their ships of war, yet he
is strong enough to do them a world OF
mischief on the ocean. Expect, therefore,
to see Yankee clippers securing the seas, and
bringing into our ports rich English, French
and Spanish prizes.
The recognition of jeff Davis piraticsl
steamer Nashville as a national vessel will
of course, stop Great Britain from complaint
If she has chosen to decide that rebel priva.
teers can come into neutral ports to refit and
arm, and bring in their prisoners of war
simply by calling themselves national YES
sels," we of the United States can scarcely
do less than open our neutral ports to al
many "men- f.war" as the Mexicans can
charter, to prey upon the commerce of hel
European enemies. 1t is bad rule that will
not work both ways.

Cnrtnre OF New OrIenn..

We find the following important intelli-
gence in yesterdays afternoon edition of the
st. Louis Republican;
Our correspondent at Cairo, In dispatch
sent late last night, reiterates the intelli-
geDce from Columbus that New Orleans had
been taken by the Federal arms, aud that
another regiment Of troops had been added
to those which had gone before, in that
great excitement prevails at Columbus,
growing out of this news. Nothing less than
the immediate danger of New Orleans could
have called for the instant dispatch of SO
many regiments of men and boats, without
accurate information that an attack was
being made on New Orleans

NEW YORK IRISH BRIGADE.-The New
York Tribune of Tuesday remarks as follows
in reference to the Irish Brigade raised in
that city by Thomas Francis Meagher;
The persistent labors of Thomas Francis
Meagher and his coadjutors have resulted SO
successfully that, within three months three
full regiments of gallant Irishmen have been
raised in this city, one in Philadelphia, and
one in Boston. If Meagher's history is ever
fairly written, his biographer will record this
contribution of four thousand men to the
great cause of human liberty as his most
notable achievement and whether he may
ever wear the silver stars of Brigadier or
not, his account with his adopted country
will show a large balance in his favor.
Throughout his labors he has pleaded with
bis countrymen to fight for our cause as the
suIest way to benefit that of the mother
country, and at every recruiting station the
sea green standard has been entwined with
the glorious Stars and Stripes. The eloquent
appeals that in New York aud Boston be has
made to Irish Americans have found their
echo in Dublin, Cork and Belfast, and in the
event of any war by England upon u.s. the
impression which has thus been made must
tell largely in our favor. Ireland and Ger.
macy, more than any other countries, are
interviewer with America by the multitudin-
GUS social links between emigrants and
their relations, and now that so many thou
sands of Germans and Irish have focked to
our banners, the strings of natural affinity
have been drawn much stronger.
