him from the error of his ways, and teach

TnE AMEncAN EAGLE sURyEys CAM,

The AMERICAN EAGLE SURVEYS CAMP
CURTN.-One of the most thrilling Incl
dents connected with the military opera
tions of the day took place at Camp Cur
tin on Saturday afternoon. A number
of persons were engaged in raising the
stars and stripes over the main building
used as the headquarters ofEthe officers,
and just as everything was in readiness,
and the men had seized the halyard TO run
up the flag, a large eagle came from no
one knew where, hovered over the flag,
and sailed majestically over the encamp-
ment while the flag was run up! Thou
sands of eyes were upturned in moment,
and as the noble bird looked down the
cheers of three thousand people rent the
air! Mover was such ovation paid the
"Imperial bird of Joye." 1t fingered for
few moments, apparently not particle
frightened at the terrific noise, then clcav-
ing the air with his pinions he disappear
ed in the horizon. Never WAS such an
incident looked upon with more favor. 1t
sent patriotic thrill through every heart
that witnessed it, and every man seemed
to be animated with the deepest feeling Of
patriotism and devotion to the flag Of our
Union.-HarriSdurg UaioR. ,a

ONE HUNDRED Years Aoo.-One
hundred years ago there was not n single
white man in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana,
or Illinois Territories. Then, what is now
the most fourishing part Of America, was
as little known as the country around the
mountains Of the Moon. 1t was not un-
I'll 1869, that the hunter Of Kentucky,
the gallant and adventurous Boone, left
his home in North Carolina to become
the first settler of Kentucky. The first
pioneer of Ohio did not settle till twenty
years after that Lime. A hundred years
age Canada belonged to France, and the
whole population Of the United States
did not exceed n million and half of
people. A hundred years ago the great
Frederick of Prussia was performing those
great exploits which have made him i'm
mortal in military annals, and with his
little monarchy was sustaining n single
handed contest with RUSSIA, Austria and
France, the three powers Of Europe com
bined. A hundred years ago the United
States were the most loyal part of the
British Empire, and on the political hori-
zon, no speck indicated the struggles
which, within score Of years thereafter,
established the greatest republic in the
world. A hundred years ago there were
but four newspapers in America; steam
engines had not been imagined, and rail
roads and telegraphs had not entered into
the remotest conceptions of man. When
we come to look back at it through the
vista of history, we find that the century
which has passed, has been allotted to
more important events, in their bearing
upon the happiness of the world, than al
most any other which has elapsed since
the creation.

STABILITY OF Tunes IN ENGLAND
In one of his lectures Mr.. Emerson tells
n story to exemplify the stability of things
in England. lie says that William of
Wykeham, about the year 1850, endow-
ed house in the neighborhood of Win
chester, to provide n measure Of beer and
a sufficiency Of bread to every one who
asked it, forever; and when Mr.. Emer-
son was in England, he was curious to
test that good mans credit; and he
knocked at the door, preferred his re-
quest, and received his measure of beer
and quantum of bread, though its owner
had been dead eight hundred years.

Practical Suggestions.

]. War is business, and should be
undertaken and prosecuted like any other
business. Everything should tend to the
securing of efficiency, comfort, ability, on
the part of the soldier. A leather apron
at a ball and kid gloves hold Of plow-
handles are not more absurdly out of
place than uniform which, however fine
ly it may appear on parade, does not
leave the wearer perfectly comfortable,
and in condition to march as far and fight
as effectively as possible. 20 $50 .tad
H.. All bright-colored scarfs, belts,
sashes, badges, stripes, bands, caps, &c,
that may serve to direct the enemy's aim,
should be utterly discarded in the uniform
of men in actual service. They may an
swer on n holiday parade, but mover in
the field of combat. On the contrary
the uniform should be plain, the colors
subdued, and nothing exhibited that can
at all serve TO increase a closer, deadier
aim. "
III. Flannel can hardly be worn too
profusoly by soldiers in service, but even
this, when exposed, should be of quiet,
unattractiye colors. Red shirts arc clear
ly Objectionable.
". Target practice, at long distances,
is part Of the necessary training Of raw
troops for actual service. A few days
steady practice works wonders with men
little accustomed to firearms. Measur-
ing distances with the eye, and judging
how many rods distant an object may be,
are important. The Mimic rifle, in good
hands, will do execution at distance of
half a mile.
V. The soldier should march as light
ly loaded as possible. Arms and am
munition he must carry; knapsack and
blanket can not well be laid aside on a
march; but he who carries but thirty
pounds will outmarch him who carries fif-
ty, and will fight thereafter undepressed
by fatigue. Reduce tho weight of his
back-load whenever you safely can.
VI. The Mimic Rifle, with Sword
Bayonet, is held the most effective arm
for infantry. Where these can not be
had, those nearest like them should be
preferred.
VII. AS yet, our Volunteers are al
most wholly Infantry or Zouaves. There
must be great increase of Cavalry and
Of Artillery to compose an army effective
in the open field.
VIII. Our women who want to be
helpful in this contest, should provide
Flannel garments and Socks in bales, as
well as Lint and Bandages, for our brave
soldiers. They will rapidly wear out and
lose what they have in brisk campaign,
and fresh supplies will be always welcome.
Let them be provided in generous abuu-
dance. N. Y. Tribune.

Defective PnLs.-An idle fellow,
hearing that quack had gained great
credit and wealth by the sale Of pills, un-
dertook to make pills himself and sell
them. He gave the same pills to all pa
ticnts; and by chance they sometimes
succeeded, aud his name became famous.
A country fellow called on him, and de-
sired to know if his pills would enable
him to find his COW he had lately lost
The quack bid him swallow six pills. On
his way home, the operation of the pills
obliged him TO retire into wood, where,
sure enough, he found his COW. The fel-
low spread report that he knew Doc
tor who sold pills which would recover

PRETTY WoMEN.-A pretty woman is
one of the institutions of the country"
an angel in dry goods and glory. She
makes sunshine, blue sky, and happiness
wherever she goes. Her path is one Of
delicious roses, perfumes and beauty
She is a sweet poem, written in rare curls
and choice calico, and good principles
Men stand up before her as so many ad-
miration points, TO melt into cream and
then butter. Her words float round the
car like music, birds Of Paradise, or the
chime of Sabbath bells. Without her,
society would lose its truest attractions,
the church its tirnest reliance, and young
men best of comforts and company. Her
influence and generosity restrain the vi
cious, strengthen the weak, raise the low
ly, flannel shirt the heather, and strength
en- the faint hearted. Wherever you
find the virtuous woman you also find
firesido boquets, clean clothes, order, good
living, gentle hearts, music, and model
institutions generally. She is the flower
of humanity, very Venus in dimity, and
her inspiration the breath of Heaven.

SPEAK NO Ill.
BY ELLA VIOLA.


Nay, speak no i'll, kindly word
Can never leave a sting behind,
And, oh to breathe each tale we've heard
Is far beneath a noble mind.
Full Oft a better seed is sown,
BY choosinglthus the better plan,
For if but little good be known,
Still let us speak the best we can.
Give me the heart that fain would hide,
Would fain ancther's faults effacej
How ean it pleasure human pride
TO prove humanity but basol 'ofe.
No, let US reach a higher mood,
a nobler estimate Of man;
BE earnest in the search for good,
And speak of all the best VIC can.
Then speak no i'll, but lenient be
TO others frilings as our own;
If you the first fault to see,
DO not the first to make Il known;
Forlife is but n passing day; r
No lip may tell how brief its span
Then, OH the little time We stay,
Let's speak of all the best we can.

The Position OF KENrucEY.--We publish
today an interesting report Of a meeting re-
Gently held in Louisville to decide on the
ground to be occupied By the State Of Ken
lucky in the present national struggle. The
decision come 10 was that Kentucky shall
remain neutral while tho government is putting
down rebellion. This is all very well to say,
but IL won't do. We now stand in a position
where there can be no neutrals. Like the old
spartans, Tic States must take one side or the
other. Kentucky, therefore, must either sup
port the lawful government or aid in the
reasonable war waged against IL. AT the
same time II is well for her TO consider that
once out Of the Union, she will be totally
ruined; IN the Union, she will not only retain
her moral force, but will 60 on frou pros
perity 10 prosperity.
