The Moral Dangers Of the Camp.

An army correspondent of the New
York Times urges the appointment at
once of good strong minded men for
chaplains. He says:
/" Among the noble young men thus
gathered from every part of the land in
armed bodies, is necessarily much wretch.

are men who ought to be in Jail; men
whose constant talk is obscenity and pro-
family, They carry the day, too, and
often lead the roost, because the army

There is no question, unless these

coffee is kept constantly in motion, and expos

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Commercial ADVERTISED in
dulges in the following "reminiscences of
the Federal city:
Sixty years ago, on the 18th of No
vember, Congress met here for the first
time, occupying the wings of the capitol.
which were but partially completed The
metropolis was stakcd off, but there were
but few buildings, and those were at
magnificent distances from each other.
Pennsylvania avenue led through u
swamp, which overhowed in the winter !;
there was no industry, society, or bust
ness and Oliver Wolcott wrote: "The
people are poor, and as far as | can Judge,
they live like fishes, by eating each
other"
There was but one hotel in Washing
ton, and the greater portion Of the mem
bers boarded or kept house in the old
settled borough of Georgetown. Craw-
fcrd's hotel was for many years the head :
quarters of the Federalists, and the host
had large six-horse stage, in which be
sent. his boarders to tho capitol and
brought them back, which was called the
Royal George.
Rufus King, when Senator in Con-
gress, boarded in Crawford's, and kept
his own carriage, drawn by four black
horses, tho coachman wearing livery.
Many other members kept up fine estab-
lishments, or saddle horses, especially
those who came from sections of the coun-
try between which and the capitol there
were no public conveyances. Henry
Clay used often come on horseback across
the mountains from Kentucky, and when
John G. Calhoun was Secretary Of War.
he came from South Carolina in his own
carriage.

of her Redemption.
Maryland is in bad case. She Jagged
behind when wisdom and patriotism up
braided her hesitation and delay, pointed
out the path of safety, and urged and
besought her to walk therein, and while
she fingered in doubt and fear, disgrace
and suffering overlook her, and betrayed,
subjugated and silcnced. she is now the
object of pity and prayer. No more sad
aud painful spectacle ever drew tears from
the eyes of patriotism. A sovereign
State, with as glorious history as that
that delights and inspires the heart of
the proudest and most honored of her
sisters, whose deeds on fields of blood,
where our first independence was achiev-
ed, will be celebrated 30 long as the spirit
of liberty shall live, whose sons are wor-
thy of their lineage, this sovereign State
is under the heel of a. vulgar and bloody
despot. She is bound hand and foot, and
only tongue here and there dare de-
nounce and curse the power which de-
lights to wrong and injure her brave and
high minded sons.
Poor Maryland Trusting to the
plighted word and pretended honor of
her highest functionary--deceived by
the soft assurances of cunning and cor
rupt demagogues, she has been betrayed,
and then Inundated. Her high spirit
writhes under the weight and infamy of
the mean bondage, as she staggers be-
meath the burden, and calls up the men,
DRY of those days when she poured out
her blood like water to purchase the bless
Dgs-which have been ruthlessly taken
away from her. But what can she do ?
The arm with which she would strike is
bound; the ground she would make a
bloody battle field is in the possession of
the agents of the moan and base despot
Her sons are powerless to wipe the stain
from her honor, and to avenge her insult
ed majesty. They can only suffer. While
they were giving willing ear to the plau-
sible assurances Of those TO whom she
had committed the maintenance of her
sovereignty, the enemy poured in upon
her commercial capital by thousands, and
established on her sacred soil the most
revolving and CALLING of all forms Of des-
potism.
But though now powerless to resist the
overwhelming power, and forced for a
while TO seem to submit. that gallant peo-
pie can never learn TO be slaves. They
cannot get accustomed to their chains.
They are freemen their fathers fought
and died for these blessings the vulgar
despo. has deprived them Of, they know
their rights. and set just value upon
their inestimable blessings; and never
has liberty appeared so sweet as it has
done since the glorious gift was taken
away by the armed horde. They are

al wish I was in Dixie

A writer in the New Orleans Delta
has undertaken to give the geographical
location of "Dixy's Land" and to show
that the song, now SO popular at the
South, originated at the North. The
writer says:
When slavery existed in New York,
one "Dixy" owned large tract Of land
on Manhattan Island and large number
Of slaves. The increase of the slaves
and the increase Of the abolition seDti-
ment caused an emigration of the slaves
to more thorough aud secure slave sec
tons, and the negroes who were thus
sent off (many being born therc) naturally
looked back to their old homes, where
they had lived in clover, with feelings of
regret. as they could not imagine any
place like Dixy's Hence it became sy-
nonymous with an ideal locality, combin
ing ease, comfort, and material happi-
ness Of every description. In those days
negro singing and minstrelsy were in
their infancy, and any sukject that could
be wrought into ballad wee eagerly
picked up. This was the case with
Dixie" It originated in New York
and assumed the proportions of song
there. In its travels it has been enlarged
and has gathered moss" has picked
up a ''note" here and there. A "chorus
has been added to it, and from an indis
tinct "chant" of two or three notes il ha,
become an elaborate melody. But thu
fact that it is not southern song "can
not be rubbed out" The fallacy is 81
popular to the contrary, that have thu
been at pains to state the real origin Of it

REPUBLICAN BuLLYIsM The New
York Journal Of Commerce, speaking Of
the men in the North who are urging the
war, says:
1t is great mistake TO suppose that a
bloodhound is courageous dog. The
men who have plunged us into this war,
who have halloed on the people, are mon
that have wisely stayed at home. And
a part of the plan to cover up their own
want Of courage, is to keep up the cry
OF war. The rebels in the South who
planned the dissolution of the Union,
who advocated it in Congress aud in
newspapers and on the stump, are the
men who dave taken the field, while the
northern editors and congressman and
senator's who opposed compromise, who
let US drift into this war, nay who drag
god us into it, are at home making con
tracts to supply army stores, aud shout
ing "traitOr" at every man who ventures
to remind them of the evil they have
brought on the country or suggest re-
medy for it,"

Salt for Butter Making,

To cattle salt is necessary and should
be always within their reach, to be taken
at option, their instinct being the best
possible guide, as to when and how much
they need but "a salt not quite pure, will
answer their purpose well enough. For
the table even absolute purity is not es-
sential since the ingredients contained in
impure are not necessarily injurious to
health. But for good butter making, if
the dairyinan would get a good name
and sell for high price, it must be pure.
Salt is compound of chloride Of sodium,
but unless manufactured with great care,
it contains also chlorides of calcium and
magnesium. The latter has bitter
taste. Many dairywoman has won
dered what bitter herbs the cows found
in the pasture, when the bitter taste of
the butter was really due to the chloride
Of magnesia in tho salt BY an avoid
ance of salt of this kind the bitter taste
may be avoided and if salt of known
purity cannot be obtained, it is we'll
worth the trouble to wash it, in this
way: put peck of salt into a clean bag,
suspend it over pail or tub; pour into
the bag quart of water let it drain as
long as it will, and then pour in pint
more what drains out may be put into
the salt trough for the cattle; the re-
naming salt will be comparatively pure;
the impurities, being more soluble than
the salt itself, will have dissolved and
passed off with the water. 1t would be
worth while for people who are troubled
with bitter taste in their butter to try
the above before condemning either the
cows or their feed, especially if their
salt is not from perfectly reliable source.
