Army and Navy.


The late report of the Secretary of War,
after stating the material Of the army,
recommends the term Of enlistmonts in
new regiments 10 be three years, and at
the close of the terms, those honorably
discharged receive a bounty of 800. He
speaks highly of the volunteer system,
stating facts that now will prove il relia-
able and efficient in any emergency. The
appropriation beside that already made
for the year ending June 30th, for the
force now in the field, is stated at 1885,
296,396. The report recommends a re-
organization of the militia and of tho
system of education at West Point. An
Assistant Secretary Of War is asked for.
He recommends an appropriation for the
reconstruction and equipment of railroads,
and for tho expense of maintaining and
operating them, and also for construction
of additional telegraph lines. He rec
ommends the organization of military
tribunal, TO take cognizance of criminal
offences in cases where the functions OF
tho Federal courts are interrupted. In
regard to the subsistence Of the troops,
he urges the importance of more fresh
meats and vegetables, and recommends,
for tho better protection of men under
him, waterproof caps and blankets. He
notices the sanitary commission and or
ganization of military hospitals. The
arms made at our national manufactures
compare, lie says, most favorably with the
best made for foreign governments, and
he recommends the making of the arms
we may require, by private manufacturers.
AS rifle cannon are so efficient, arrange
ments have been made for rihing large
portion of the guns now on hand
The report Of the Secretary of the Ma
Wy states that the force in commission is
80 vessels, carrying upwards of 100
guns, besides several steamers and other
small craft temporarily in the service.
Twenty-thrce gunboats have been con-
tractcd for since the 4th of March. Two
hundred and fifty-nine officers have re-
signed or have been dismissed. The re-
port recommends the appointment of a
director of ordnance, TO have supervision
of all the details in that branch of the
service; provision for frequent supplies of
fresh provisions to ships; the appoint
ment of Board to inquire into the ex-
pediency Of building iron clad steamers;
also an increase of the clerical force of the
department, and the appointment of an
assistant Secretary. The estimates for
the service are $S0,6O9,52o 20.

BURNING OF TIE pEpors.

To digress n little. You have, doubt
less, ere this, published an item relative
to the burning of the depot of the Boston
and Albany Railroad Company, at Alba
ny. stood upon the ruins few days
ago. The confagration was terrible
one. The vast edifces, several in num-
Der, occupying some acres of ground, and
larger in size than any other in the known
world, with large number of cars, a
quantity of wheat and other freight, sew
eral canal boats, &c, become an easy prey
TO the devouring element. But in three
days from the catastrophe, with true Yam
kee enterprise, the company had contract
ed for their reconstruction, and phoenix
like they arc rapidly rising from the dust
skyward, and in a months time it is ex-
pected they will again stand forth in all
their former vastness and magnifcence.

A SEPARATE TABLE.-One hot sum-
day, Duke Charles dined in the little
town of Nagald. With the dinner came
a great multitude of flies, all unlimited;
bul that mattercd nothing. They buzzed
about one over another, and alighted
here and there, making quite as free as
if they had been portion of the princely
train.
Duke Charles was angry at this, and,
calling the hostess, said
Here, old bel,lame, let the flies have
a separate table,"
The hostess, very quiet woman, did
rs she was ordered; set out another ta-
bic, and then, coming up TO the Duke,
said, with courtesy
"The table is served. Will your
highness now order the flies TO be seated g'
The rest need not be told.

COD SPEED THE PLOUGH.


God speed the ploughshire tell me not
Disgrace attends the toll
Of those who plough the dark green sod,
Or till the fruitful soil.
Why should the honest ploughman shrink
From mingling in the van
OF learning and of wisdom, since
IT'S mind that makes the man?
God speed the ploughshire, and the hands
That till the fruitful earth;
For there is in this world so wide,
No gem like honest worth.
And though the hands are dark with toll,
And flushed the manly brow, l,..

GE- There was an old Quaker, who
had an unfortunate reputation Of non-rc-
sistance. 1t was said that any one could
jostle him, tread on his toes, or tweak his
nose, with impunity; until one market
day q clustering fellow, being told that
yonder was man who, if he was smilten
on one cheek, would turn the other also,
thought it would be sport to try him.
Stepping up to the sturdy, good-natured
Friend, be slapped his face. The old
man looked at him sorrowfully for mo-
ment, then slowly turned his other cheek
and received another buffet Upon that

LITTLE TnlNos.-Life is mado up Of
little things. He who travels over con-
tinent must go step by step. He who
writes book must do it sentence by SEN
tence; he who learns science must mas
ter il fact by fact, and principle after prin-
cple. What is the happiness of our life
made up of Little courtesies; little
kindnesses; pleasant words; genial
smiles; friendly letter; good wishes,
and good deeds. One in million, once
in life time, may do heroic action
But the little things that make up our
life come every day and every hour If
we make the little events of life beautiful
and good, then is the whole life full Of
beauty and goodness.

hills with their rocky bases, along which
flows the purling rills, where often in boy

WARREN, CT, July IL, 1861.

W ANHN't O''j ouig Ait iOOA'
Messrs. BARNs:-My last communica-
tion was written from Lancaster, n. Y.
Now am rusticating amid the rough,
rugged hills, pleasant dales and flowery
meads of New England. Once more my
feet tread my native soil, and the scenes
of my childhood, dear to my heart, greet
me on every side. The friends of my
youth again grasp me warmly by the
hand, and, in few hours, / seem TO live
over again half life time.
Speaking of railroading, no one-but a
live Yankee, familiar from boyhood with
stupendous rocks, lofty hills, and deep
valleys, could ever have conceived the
idea of constructing the Housatonic River
Railroad, extending from Albany to
Bridgeport. A trip over this road, to
one only accustomed to the far-extending
levels of Old Ottawa, is, TO say the least,
an exciting one. AS the iron horse
plunges onward, suorting, foaming and
whizziug along steep declivities, through
vast tunnels, and even down the sides of
mountains, on what we should consider
steep and dangerous grades, one almost
instnctively closes his eyes, braces his
feet and grasps his hair-if he has any,
if not his wig-under the impression in
voluntarily rising in his mind that n
plunge into some awful chasm to which
he seems approaching with fearful speed
is inevitable. Out ira moment he emerg-
es from the threatening danger and scuds
away over beautiful plain, studded with
neat farm houses, and overlooked on all
sides by mountain peaks, lifting their
heads far sky-ward, through some deep
gorge of which the beautiful Housatonic
rolls its blue, sparkling waters, and in due
time "brings up" to some quiet, thrifty
village, snugly nestled amid that inspir-
ing beauty and vast grandeur with which
the great Creator often astonishes and be-
wiIders the finite mind of that liliputian
creature, man.
On Monday last passed the very spot
where little over forty years ago little
compound of bones, muscles, &C., for the
first time
