KEEP MOVING.

Don't give up if you happen to fail in any
thing you undertake. Try it again, try il a
hundred times if you don't succeed before, and
all the while be studying to see if you have
not failed through negligence and oversight
Of your own. Don't throw down your oars
and drift stern foremost, because the wind
don't happen to be fair. Beat TO windward,
and gain all you can until it changes. fyou
get to he bottom of the wheel, hang on
Never think Of letting go. The next turn i'll
bring you on top.
Are you in debt, don't let time wear of the
edge of the obligation. Economise, work
harder, and spend less. and hurry out. Does
misfortune overtake you, don't sit down and
nope and let her walk over you. Put on
more steam. Drive ahead, and get out Of the
way. If you meet obstacles in your path
climb over, dig under, or go around them-nev-
er turn back. If it is stormy day, you don't
better matters by whining and growing. Be
good natured Take it easy The sun will
shine tomorrow.
Do you lose few dollars by bad specula-
tion, never think of collecting coroners jury
about your dead body. Ifyou are mechanic,
don't refuse to work these hard times because
you can't get as high rates as you could last
year. That only helps to make them hardtr
for yourself and everybody else. Better take
dollar or two less than be idle. Don't put
on the sulks and long faces because money is
not 90 plentiful as usual, such q course won't
add single dollar to circulating medium
Keep in a good humor laugh yourself and do
something to make others laugh. There's
more health in one good hearty laugh than in
dozen glasses of rum. Be happy, and i'm
part happiness to others. Keep moving, look
aloft Be as prudent as you please, but don't
bleach out your hair, and pucker your face into
wrinkles ten years ahead of time by self-in-
aicted ft Of the dismals.

IrrEr,IEcr ANp MoRALITY.

The older grow the more clearly see
that the intellectual is not the highest faculty
in man, although the most brilliant. Knowl
edge after all, is not the greatest thing in life;
IL is not the "bs-all and the enA-alp' here
Life is not science. The light of intellect is
truly precioas light, but its aim and end is
simply to shine. The moral nature of man is
more sacred in my eyes than his intellectual
nature. know they cannot be divorced
that without intelligence we should be brutes
but it is the the tendency of our gaping,
wondering dispositions to give.pre-eminence to
those faculties which most astonish u.s.
Strength of character seldom if ever astonishes
us; goodness, loveliness and quiet self.sacrifce
are worth all the talents in the world.

A dispatch from Washington says that
gentleman in that city, just arrived from Paris,
in France, saw letter there from Senator Ma
son, dated February 20, aud while be was yet
in his seat as Senator of the United States,
in which he says that such arrangements had
been made as would secure the secession of Vir-
ginia, and that Washington would be seized by
the South and be the seat Of government Of
Southern Republic. This shows what the trail
tors were doing while they were preaching
compromise in the Peace Convention, and
meekly telling US that they only wanted to be
let alone.

not that respect for their feelings that would prompt
me in order to make the ordinance less offensive to
them to require the aged fathers of the country as
we'll as every free male citizen of the State, over
sixteen years to subscribe to such test.
Again: maintain that it restricts the freedom Of
debate, and is therefore Objectionable. Has the
gentleman forgotten the "alien and sedition" laws
of the elder Adams? Has he forgotten ,oho it was
and aohy 1t was they were resisted? He has not
he cannot for it was at the feet of those Apostles
of liberty that both the gentleman and myself
politically schooled. Who first moved against the
sedition Law? 1t was Virginia the mother not only
Of States but Of statesmen? Who first nulllfed it.

the present time, it has been cardinal principle of
that party to allow the greatest latitude to the free

PANIC IN THE REBEL CAPITAL.

The Philadelphia Ledger Of Saturday NOR
ming has the following story:
IAN intelligent lrishman, who arrived in
the city on Thursday from Richmond. gives
us some interesting intelligence in regard TO
affairs at the Capital Of the Conlcderacy. Like
all others hailing from the North, our inform
ant was looked upon as a Black Republican,
and he was actually before the Mayor Of Rich
mond upon that charge. The warrant for his
arrest was issued on the oath of a fellow coun-
tryman, but a number of the lrshmen in the
city hearing of the arrest, so threatened the
informer that he considered il safer not to APP
pear at the hearing, and the culprit was dis
charged Our informant has been in Rich
mond for three months past, and during the
time has had an opportunity of observing the
gathering Of the Confederate forces.
The belief at Richmond was, that the num-
Der of troops concentrated at Manassas, when
II became apparent that an attack was to be
made, was at least 10000. SO far as seen,
the troops passing through Richmond. as well
as those stationed in the noighborhood, until
ordered forward, were well fed but poorly
clothed. They we're uncleanly in their habits
and consequently suffered greatly from dis
case The Washington Artillery of New Or
leans was the crack corps of the army. The
Louisiana Zouaves are made up Of the scum
Of New Orleans, and the only Frenohman in
the regiment left at Richmond and joined an
artillery company. On Thursday, the day Of
the attack upon Bulls Run, the news came to
Richmond that the federal forces had outhank-
ed the Coniederates that the secession army
was routed and in retreat upon Richmond,
closely followed by the United States army.
Tbs intelligence created panic in the city
For weeks past the mere hants had been send
ing their goods out of the city into the coun-
try, and when the news of the defeat began to
circulate, the union feeling made itself known
and the citizens very generally clamored for
surrender Of the city. in order to avoid its
bombardment and consequent destruction by
the federal troops. The pressure Of public
sentiment was so great, that JET. DaUis order
ed The public records, de-, packed up and sent on
10 Raleigh, " O., and it was generally under
stood that the rebel President and his Cabi-
net were preparing to remove their headquar-
tiers to that city.
