solved to enter into little examination
of the youths capacities and knowledge
prior to assigning him to class. Call

"Doyou know anything of grammar
"I don't know anything else"
Every well. Now attend-In the be

All the b'hoy knew of grammar was
what he had heard that very morning
from the different classes reciting around
him-but he had been taught when hC
was fighting in the dark, he must strike
straight out from the shoulder right ant
left, and it would be all right.
"Parse world?" he drawled out in,
quiringly so as to gain time.

part Of the island, at the entrance Of the
barbar Of Key West, in from six to twelve
feet of water, and distant from the shore
about three hundred yards. The scarp
walls are eight feet in thickness, and rises
abruptly from the water to hight Of
forty one feet. The work is pierced for
three tiers OF guns two under casematcd
bombproofs and the other open or en- bar
bette. 1t mounts one hundred and twenty
ten inch columbiads on The channel fronts
and forty-fve heavy guns on the shore
front. Its full war armament is one hun
dred and eightyfive guns, most Of which
are in battery and ready to stand pro-
tracted siege.
The fort is well supplied with provi-
sions, fuel, ammunition, hospital and ar
tillery stores and barracks for the troops.
Its present force consist of about two
hundred men, under the command of
Capt. j. M. Brannan, OF the First United
States Artillery, and Capt. T.. B. Hunt,
of the corps of Engineers.
Fort Taylor is considered the key of
the Gulf. The only vulnerable point is
facing the land side; but even to make
any impression upon it by. an enemy
would require large force and the sac.
rifices of an immence number of lives,
and the expenditure of large amount
Of treasure.
FORT JEFFERSON, ToRTUGAs.
This work was commenced in 1886.
and is now nearly finished. In stra.
tegical point of view it is designed tc
command the admirable harbor lying in
the heart of this group of keys. This
fort is an immense Fashioned work, the
walls of which are built of brick, with 9
granite foundation. Thus far it has cos
the Government over one million Of dol
lars. The work covers an area of be
tween thirteen and fourteen acres. AL
though not fully armed, it is completed,
closed and impregnable against an escald
ing party. This work is pierced 70
three tiers of guns, two under bombproo
casemates, and one open en- 6drJeHe.--
The casemated tiers are capable of mount
ing $50 guns. A wide ditch, communi
eating with the sea, surrounds the entir,
work, and this is protected by coun
terscrap of great length. The guns o
this fort command the inner harbor-
The outer harbor is beyond the reach o
the heaviest guns. Fort Jefferson, wher
it will have been completed and put on (
war footing, will require total arm
ament of 450 guns and 1000 troops
The present garrison now consists O.
about 24O men, under the command o
Brevet Major Lewis G.. Arnold, of the
First Regiment of United States Artil
lery, assisted by First Lieut.. Henry Ben
son, First Lieutenant (Quartermaster
Mathew M. Blunt, and Surgeon Adam
N. McLaren. The fort is well provided
with provisions, fuel, ammunition, az
tillery and hospital stores. 1t is deficient
however, an armament, having only 7;
guns,in battery; but this is being temediee
with all possible haste. -.

RELIGIoUs.-The wonderful revival OF
Religion which has cen in progress in our
city for go days, continues with unabated
interest. The number of conversions is al
ready near 400, and still the affairs
of prayer are filled with seekers after the
"pearl of great price" In both the Presby-
terrain churches, and the Cumberland
Church, as also in Locust street NJ z.

some of them both morning and evening .
and although the membership in some OF
them are fatigued physically, they are
"strong in the spirit and do not feel like
stopping the meetings so long rs sinners are
converted and made happy in the love OF
God.

MISSOURI FOR THE UNIoN.-The election
returns from the State, SO far as received,
are utterly destructive of the Secession
scheme. They fail in any instance to an
nounce the election Of Disunionist. There
can be no doubt but that decided majority
of the Convention will be for the Union
without condition or qualification. That
body, we venture to predict, will present no
demands or propositions as an ultimatum.
Very probably it will be eager to get every
thing it possibly can for Slavery, but it will
not threaten to take the State out Of the
Union on or before the 4th Of March, as the
alternative of refusal. in other words, the
Convention will be pro-sIavery, anti Sc
cession assembly, looking in the Union and
not outside for " remedies, or conquests, as
the case may be. We may safely conclude
that it will prove the efficient guardian of
the honor, rs well as the interests Of the
State, for it will not put these two in antao
onism with each Others Lous Demo-

The Feeling in the Peace Congress.
To show the feeling amongst our Indiana
Commissioners in the Peace Congress, we
give an extract from a letter, written a
couple of weeks ago, by one of them who
has been regarded as a very uncompromis-
ing Republican. He talks like a patriot
and a true man. The sentiments here ex-
pressed serve to show that the Republicans
in that body are willing to go any reason
able length in a sincere effort at adjustment.
" We are indeed sent upon a responsible
mission, and pray God that its results may
be found in the restoration of peace to our
beloved country and the preservation of the
rights of all parts of our confederacy. The
feeling of our Conference is in favor of some
sort Of amicabe adjustment. While we be-
lieve that no amendment of our organic
law is necessary for the protection of either
the North or the South, would be willing
to assent TO the following propositions,
upon the condition that all threats of seces-
sion should be absolutely withdrawn, and
the Border States unite with the Free, cor
daily and heartily, in an effort to preserve
the integrity of the Union, to-wit:
"Ist Provide that Congress shall have
no power to interfere with the institution
Of slavery in the existing slaveholding
States, in the District of Columbia, without
the consent Maryland, or in the navy and
dock yards situate within the borders Of
slaveholding States.
"2d. Prohibit perpetually the African
lave trade.
{" 81. Restore in some form the Missouri
Compromise.
Neither of these propositions involve
the sacrifice Of principle, to any section Of
the country, or to any party, and believe
that if presented with unanimity on the
part of the Conference, and considered with
candor, and a desire for the restoration of
Union and harmony, they would be ratified
by an overwhelming majority of the people,
North and South"
When we read such sentiments from mem
bers of the Conference, it seems that they
must agree on some common ground.

ERRATUM.--In leader yesterday, emit
tied Democracy in Disguise" we perpc-
trated paragraph which no doubt produced
confusion of ideas in the minds of our
readers. The disadvantage Of prooi-read-
ing during the drowsy hours Of midnight is
our excuse. Speaking of the Crittenden
Proposition, we said;
Many well-meaning people in the North
Republicans and others-have been deceived
by this specious plot. and are still laboring
under the delusion that it is fair and right
and equitable. Unfortunately they were
carried away by and remain committed to
this ''wolf in sleeps clothing, through their
laudable desire to see the &" Union saved"
without thinking that some things-such as
the loss of honor and consistency, the de-
struction of the best interests of the free
workingmen of the North and the whole
country, and the sacrifice of the eternal right
are preferable even to this glorious Union
that we all so much adore"
Instead of =" are preferable even to this
glorious Union that we all so much adore"
read, are more TO be deplored than even the
loss of this glorious Union that we all so
much adore.

mr LtpcoIa's Night Trip 60 Wash
AmZtOm.

Many of Mr.. Lincoln's friends have been
feeling quite badly over his sudden and I'M
expected night journey from Harrisburgh to
Washington, and some have been disposed
to blame him for the movement. The Op-
ponents of Mr.. Lincoln generally have ex-
ultcd in what they have termed hiscoward
ice and the depressing effect they thought
the circumstance alluded to would have on
the Republican party.
Those of Mr.. Lincoln's friends who are
accustomed to study the relations of cause
and effect were confident when the first re-
port Of the ruse came by telegraph, that as
Mr. Lincoln was man of good sense and at
least ordinary courage, he had some good
and sufficient reason for his course. The sub
sequent intelligence received justifes this
confidence in the prudence of the Republic
can chief
Mr. Lincoln was advised to follow the
course he did by Gen. Scott, Senators Sew
ard and Trumbull, and others high in au-
thority He was reliably informed Of a
well-laid plot to take his life, and was ear
nestly entreated to hurry through to Wash
ington in advance of his appointment, in
order to foil the conspirators in their fell
design. He resisted these appeals until
ovcrruled by the cautious and well-inform-
ed judgment of others in whom he had i'm
plicit confidence.
Now since all the facts are known, it is
generally conceded that Mr.. Lincoln did
right under the circumstances. We sup
pose he has the ordinary courage of the
American characterize more, no less. If
necessary we doubt not he could face death
with unquailing eye. But he is a man of
too much well-balanced sense to be fool
hardy and needlessly rash. Hence he con-
sidered that " discretion was the better part
of valor.'
Had it been merely the life of Abraham
Lincoln, the individual, that was in jeopardy,
it might still be insisted that he ought to have
made the venture. But it must be recollected
that in Abraham Lincolns life and strength
lies at this critical juncture the welfare of
30OOO,OO0 people. Should he be killed,
the government would be precipitated into
anarchy and probably into ruin. In the
confusion, the enemies Of the Union would,
by grand coup de main, consummate their
hellish design of subverting the government
and claiming the whole country, including
the North, to the car Of slavery and lcen-
tiousness.
We can easily see that Mr.. Lincoln's
preservation is not matter of a single hui
man life, but Of the preservation of a great
nation and the welfare of vast numbers Of
people. Hence, his course was proper and
advisable
