How all Persons Can Make Thom-
selves Useful.
The following suggestions Of a CON
temporary are admirable and should be
hcodod;
/. Let tho men who remain at home
form themselves into regular companies,
and devote an evening each week to
drilling in the manual exercises Of arms.
They will thus make themselves into a
"Homo Guard, and be ready as a val
liable trained reserve in case Of need.
H. Doubtless many patriots will 90
to defend tho government whose fami-
lies can i'll afford to lose their services
lt must be the care of those who remain
at home to see that these families are
abundantly provided For this pur-
pose every man, woman Iand child in
the country should set aside a certain
weekly sum, from one cent up to any
number of dollars to be thrown into
a Patriotic Fund. In every village,
district or ward, the leading men should
bostir themselves to collect the names
Of their iellow-eitizens who will con-
tribute weekly for this noble purpose.
III. Our churches arc organizations
ready and we'll fitted for united effort in
this direction. It should be the care of
every congregation in the land to keep
in comfort the families of those of their
members who are absent in defence of
our country. Ministers of the Gospel
are welcome visitors to every home, and
they can make themselves most effoc-
tive agents in this work.
~. We must protect ourselves against
tho secret operations oftraitors in North
ern cities. The enemy can get supplies
of arms, ammunition and food only
from the North, Every Governor of a
State, every mayor of city, every gov
ernment officer, has a right and is bound
to stop supplies intended for the enemy,
and every citizen should watch with
jealous eyes the movement Of the men
who are suspected to be in heart leagued
with the traitors Make every north
ern traitor feel that he is a marked man,
and that no reasonable act Of his will
escape the watchful eyes Of the law.
V. Let us not forget that every man,
woman and child can do something;
and that it is every ones duty to help
in the defence of our assailod liberties.
Let the heads Of families live savingly,
and give what they can spare to their
country service. Let US show our
selves worthy descendants Of the men
and women of l776. Those who have
not means to give can do at least what
the young girls Of England did in the
Crimoan war-scrape lint for our wound,

Lincoln and Scott.

Bayard Taylor, who made a flying trip
to Washington the other day, to procure
a passport, writes the following account
Of President Lincoln and General Scott
to the New York Tribune.
In the afternoon, had the honor Of
short interview with the President.
l had never seen Mr.. Lincoln, and had
not the right to expoct-scarcoly
the right TO requost-zadmittanc to him
at such an important time; but I wish
ed, before leaving home, for no matter
how short a period, the satisfaction of
saying to him, as 1 did: "President Lin
coin, let me thank you for enabling me
still to holw up my head as an American,
and to speak Of my country without
blushing" need not describe the
Presidents personal appearance, for
nearly every body has seen him. Hon
esty, frmness and sound common sense,
we're the characteristics with which
personally he impressed me- was
very glad to notice the tough, enduring
vitality Of his temperament----he needs
it all. He does not appear to be worn
or ILL., as l have heard but on the con-
trary, very fresh and vigorous, His
demoanor was thoroughly calm and col
leoted, and bespoke of the present crisis
with that solemn, earnest cOmposure,
which is the sign of a soul not easily
perturbed. I came away from his pres
ence, Uheered and encouraged.
Coming down from the White House
to the Treasury Building, past hedg-
os Of the Pyrw japonjoa, in scarlet
blossom, met Gen. Scott, erect and
firm as ever, but walking slowly, with
his head slightly bent, and apparently
absorbed in thought. 1 scanned him
closely, knowing what a weight of re-
sponsibility rests on his shoulders
what chapters of unwritten history may
take their coloring from the schemes
of that 'good gray head" His air was
absorbed, as I have said, but calmly res
olute and selRreliant. Yet the most
startling rumors, purporting to omanato
from the War Department, were flying
through the air.
