WHERE They Cor THEIR GUNs.-It appears
by Charleston paper, that the forts around
Charles on are stripped of their guns to
tortify Virginia, but since the IIatteras affair
they have been taking them back again
rapidly for the defense of their own harbor.
1t is likely that this is the case with all the
Southern tOrtifcations, and may account
for the ability of the rebels to raise such
numerous intreDchments along the Potomac
If our sea. coast expedition had been pushed
right on, it is highly probable that it would
have captured a nun DER of these tOr's in
their defenseiess condition. These eXpedi-
tions ought 10 be buried forward, and may
yet be in time 10 catch the rebels before they
are prepared for defense. II will make them
less strong on the Potomac. 1t is probable
that the reason the rebels have been COM
PEELED 10 fall back and abandon some of their
batteries on the Potomac, is because their
guns have been required to refit the South
ern forts. The Hatteras affair, it is evident,
has upset the calculations Of the insurgents,
and the consequences flowing from il are
more momentous than we imagined. The
work in the same direction should be speedily
prosecuted, and blow given which will tell
ill over the rebel States.

To unmnrrIed Ladies'.


The following items of advice to ladies re-
naming in state of single blessedness are
extracted from the manuscript of an old
dowager.
Ifyou have blue eyes, languish.
If black eyes, affect spirit.
If you have pretty feet wear short petit
coats
II you are the least doubtful as to that
point, wear them long.
If you have good teeth, don't forget to
laugh now and then.
Ii you have bad ones, you must only sim
per.
While you are young sit with your face to
the light.
When you are a little advanced, sit with
your back to the window.
If you have bad voice, always speak in q
low tone.
If it is acknowledged that you have a ine
voice, never speak in high tone.
If you dance well, dance seldom.
If you dance ILL., never dance at all.
If you sing well, make no puerile excuses.
If you sing indifferently, hesitate not mo-
ment when you are asked, for few persons
are competent judges of singing, but every
one is sensible of the desire to please.
If in conversation you think person
wrong, rather hint a difference of opinion
than offer contradiction.
1t is always in your power to make a friend
by smiles; what folly TO make enemies by
frOwns.
When you have an opportunity to praise,
do it with all your heart.
When you are forced to blame do it with
reluctance.
If you are envious of another woman, never
show it but by allowing her every good
quality and perfection except those which
she really possesses.
Ifyou wish to let the world know you are
in love with particular man, treat him with
formalty, and every one else with ease and
freedom.
If you are disposed to be pettish or inso-
lent, it is better to exercise your i'll humor
on your dog, or your cat, or your servant,
than on YOUR friend.

ASAD CASE OF INSANITY Our attention
was attracted this morning, says the Cleve-
land Herald by an old man, standing with a
piece of broom corn in his hand, apparently
signaling some thing out in the lake. Upon
msking inquiries we learn that this man is
a fisher man, whose life has been passed
upon the water in pursuit OF the finny tribe,
10 which profession he has brought up his
boys. Some time since, his sons, four in
number, were on a fishing excursion on Lake
Michigan, and sudden gale, to which these
inland waters are 80 much exposed, spring
ing up, their smack was driven out into the
lake, and all were lost. Such terrible be-
reavement has driven the old man distracted.
He was very i'll for long time, with dis
ease induced by the loss of his sons, and
slIce bis recovery has been insane. Where
ever he goes, he is constantly signaling with
whatever he may have in his hand to his
sons, as he suppOses out upon the water and
calling to him for help. He will remain in
this position for hours together, gazing fix
idly upon the water it being impossible,
save by force, TO distract his attention. 1t is
II very sad case, The old man, with his gray
hair streaming in the wind, and his luster
less eyes, glowing with that expression so
peculiar to Insanity, trying to render assist
ance 10 his perisbing sons.

Thn snn,hnrn An,IvI,r.

The following is from the New York
Times:
The concurrent intelligence from Govern
ment agents, deserters, prisoners taken and
intercepted correspondence, has been of the
increasing strength and confidence of the
rebel troops. In the past fortnight some
have estimated The rebel force in Virginia at
less than hundred and fifty thousand men,
and some have gone in their estimate, based
upon seemingly trustworthy means of OBJ
tanning information, as high as two hundred
thousand, and these within an area extending
from Manassas as center, and following the
course of the Potomac from its mouth to the
confluence of the Shenandoah. All agree,
too, that they have an abundance of the
means of sustaining life, though sadly in
want of the variety necessary to make men
satisfied with their rations. The enthusiasm
of the troops has been represented to be un-
bounded, and their anxiety for movement
"onward to Washington" to be almost beyond
control. Then, too, it hes been represented
that the capitalists of the South are we'll sat
isied with the present condition of things,
and are reconcied even to delay, as it has
given on impetus to manufactures that has
never before been felt in the South.
The beef cattle received from Texas are
slaughtered, and their hides at once dressed
and tanned at newly established tanueries in
all parts of the South. Again, shoe manu-
factories have been organized and are in act
i've operation. Cloths, such as they are, are
being turned out in an increasing amount
each month from almost extemporized
wooden mills, apd every sphere of mechanical
industry, which has heretofore been me-
elected, is reported to be fourishiug, and
Southern men are exulting in the idea of
material and commercial independence of the
North and the whole world, whatever may
be the issue of the war. Aud as the necessi-
ties of war have awakened into a sudden life
the inventive genius of the South, night and
day the founderies are said to be casting cam
non, and skilled artisans, unlike Floyd, are
rihing them in alegitimate manner. Powder,
however, is confessedly scarce. The churches
in Richmond are daily occupied by women
ana boys, who are there employed in making
cartridges, and the greatest care is observed
thatno grain is wasted

The sitnation of Utnh.

We have the Deseret Neps of September
IL. The News was suspended for some
weeks for lack Of paper, the supply from the
States having run out before the first paper
mill erected in the Territory could be got in
operation. The NeacS Of the llth is printed
on the first paper manufactured IN Utah, the
quality fair but a little dingy in color.
Thus the Mormons foster home manu-.
facture, and become more and more inde-
pendent.
1.-THE Hive of Deseret' is represented as
very flourishing. The Improvements in Salt
Lake City this season exceed those of former
years. New houses and other buildings are
going up, the Tabernacle is being enlarged
and improved, and theater is being erected.
There is great demand for building material
and laboreTs.
The telegraph line west is so nearly com
pleted that Salt Lake City is in communica-
ton with all California in little over
twenty four hours. The poles on the entire
Western line would be up by the lst of 0c'
tober. On the Eastern line the poles and
wires are reported to be completed to "Outer
| Station" ninety miles west of Laramie, and
| Mr.. Creighton would commence putting up
the wire at Salt Lake by the Goth of Sep.
tember, and would run it up eastward about
fifteen or twenty miles per day afterward
| He expects to finish the line east by the mid.
die of November. By that time the whole
| line from the Pacific to the Missouri will
probably be in working order.
Presidents Young and Wells, accompanied
by several Elders were absent on a visitation
to the settlements of the Cache Valley. The
missionaries, 0rson Pratt and Erastus Snow
have returned from their successful labors
in gathering Saints in the Eastern States
Several companies of immigrating Saints had
recently arrived, and the last of the Church
trains was expected by September 20. To
accommodate the increasing population, a
company left September to select a location
in Uinta Valley.
The crops in Utah were never better
Wheat excellent; corn crop good and out Of
danger from frost Sugsr-cane much better
than last year; a large quantity grown, but
not enough to quite furnish the Saints with
all the sugar and molasses needed. Potato
crop a partial failure.

LOOK BEFORE You KICK.-A minister in
one of cur orthodox churches (the Vineyard
Gazette says) while on his way to preach d
funeral sermon in the country, called to see
one of his members an old widow lady, who
lived near the road be was travelling. The
old lady had Just been making saussges and
she felt proud of them, they were so plump,
round and sweet. D course she insisted on
the minister taking some of the links home
10 his family. He objected, on account Of
his not having his por tnanteau along. The
ohieciien was soon oveTruled, and the old
lady, after wrapping them 10 a rag, carefully
placed q bundle in each pocket Of the preach
ers capacious coat. Thus equipped he
started for the funeral
While attending the solemn ceremonies of
the grave, some hungry dogs scented the
sausages and were not long in tracking them
to the good mans overcoat. OF course This
was great annoyance, and he was several
times under the necessity of kicking the
whelps away. The obsequies of the grave
completed, the minister and congregation re-
paired TO the church where the funeral dis
course was to be preached
After the Sermon was finished, the minis
ter halted to make some remarks 20 his con.
gregAtion when a brother, who wished to
have an appointment given out, ascended
the pulpit and gave the minister's coat a
bitch to gain his attention. The divine,
thinking it a dog having design upon his
pockets raised his foot gave sudden kick,
ard sent the good brother sprawling down
tie pulpit steps.
