Good Advice.

A Baltimore correspondent Of the Gazette
warns the people of the North against sub
mission to the Southern invaders, showing
how insidious are their wiles and how des-
pSrate their designs. He expatiates on the
excellence and good intentions Of our Gov
eminent, and advises that it is better to bear
the ills we have than fly to those we know
not of.
1--WE had and have a Government that not
only msnifests its power but is willing to
protect us. Better therefore, hold on to this,
than run the hazard of having something
a slave oligarchy-based upon aristocracy,
and in opposition to industrial honesty. 1t is
truth clear as the light of heaven, that the
Government which JEFF Davis and his min
ions would establish looks to the subordina
ton of poor men and the placing of indus
trial labor, performed by white men, upon a
parallel with the negro. A poor white citl-
zen in the South, if Secessionism succeeds,
will ever be held in humiliation-that, too,
because necessity compels him to earn his
bread by the sweat of his brow, while aris
tocrats calculate upon existing in luxury,
| splendid pomprpars phernalia and show on
| the menisl toll OF others. How, in the name
of God, any man with sane mind, whether
/ he be South or North, can aid in building up
such tyranny, is more than my poor brain
can conceive"
We take it as evidence of sagacity on the
part of the Baltimore correspondent of the
Gazette that he was impressed to send advice
| of this kind in this direction.

without South; that, deprived Of Its polit-
icsl society, il has none of the elements Of
prosperity at home or Of worship abroad
that national division is equivalent 70 na-
tional annibilatioD; and that therefore, what
ever may be the present expense or the fu-
ture prospect, we must cling 10 the South,
or give up all hope to realize that high des-
tiny TO which we have, all along, supposed
ourselves to be appointed.
Its curious evidence Of human muta.
bility, and the disturbing effect which un-
usual events produce upon the mind, that
whereas, when Secession was threatened but
scarcely feared, the speech Of the North was
of its own sufficiency and power, and of the
weakness of the South, and its incspacity to
sustain national institutions of its own /;
while now, when Secession has become a
fact, our trouble is all on our own account,
and, if we we're to believe half that is said
upon the subject, we should look upon our
selves as having been, by the seeding party,
nationally turned out Of doors and disin-
herited.
This state of feeling is ominous. Want Of
self-reliance is a want of independence.
The absence of independence is spirit Of
submission. Taking into consideration the
want Of vigor with which we are fighting
the war, this want of independence opens
the wsy for the greatest apprehensions. If
we cling to nationality as thing paramount
and yetcan not win in the fight, what is there
left,but to submit?

REuNITE if you can; separate pesceably
if you can not reunite, is the substance Of the
counsel given by the Emperor of Russia to
the United States. "Good advice" indeed,
says the London Times, "but obviously not
to be taken by proud and obstinate people,
More blood must be shed and more treasure
squandered before the counsels of 81. Peters
burg will be listened to in the Northern
States"
A disposition for peace comes, if not be-
fore, with exhaustion. But when exhaustion
arrives, the disposition for peace inevitably
becomes careless in respect to the terms OF
settlement. The cry for relief rises para
mount to considerations of the means by
which il is obtained. We can not prevent
the coming of peace in the end, and wisdom
would suggest that it IN safe to deliberate
upon the terms while strength yet remains
to contend, thus controlling circumstances,
than to wait until strength is exhausted, to
be controlled by them.
We are in for that which, if left to be set
tied by force of arms, is a long war. Out
side of the army the question of peace ant
war is in the hands of the Government. o
the sentiments of the Administration in re
spect to peace we know little; of its acts
nothing. The sentiments of the other Gov
ornments Of Europe coincide with those o
the Russian Emperor. They prefera restora
ton of the Union; but better perhaps thar
the people of the North, they see its difficult
ties. OF the moral influence ofother friendly
Governments upon our own we gain no in
formation. At present our Government Il
powerless to do aught but pursue the war
How long it will be before the progress o
eventswill, by acting upon the popular mind
restore to it that discretion which properly
belongs to government is question which
rests with the future.

GENERAL MCCLELLAN had his army in
order and rendered the rebels IAN appeal to
the God of Battles" yesterday morning-the
day of the Christian Sabbath. How General
Mcclellan, after his proclamation. found it
in his heart to do such thing, is more than
we can understand. We beg him to remem-
ber how clearly it was demonstrated by a
large number of our ablest divines, after the
battle of Manassas, that the defeat Of our
forces on that occasion was solely the conse-
quence ofthe desecrstion of the Sabbath;
and how conclusively it was demonstrated
by the same reverend gentlemen that the
army which fought on that day would be
sure to be beaten.

LATEST NEWS FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA.
By the arrival of the steamers HorizoR, En-.
piro City and Leonora, direct from the Ka.
nawha, we CLEAN the following information
concerning our troops;
General Rosecrans was encamped six miles
distant from Gauley, having fallen back from
the summit ofSewell Mountain. The enemy
were encamped twenty-sx miles from Rose
Grams. Lee is reported in the command OF
the rebels, Eight hundred wagons were
met on the road between Gauley and Charles
ton with supplies. The sick were being
sent to Charleston, Virginia, and Galipolis,
Ohio, as speedily as possible. The LsoHorG
left twenty invalid soldiers at these points.
The Twelfth Ohio and First Kentucky
Regiments are atGauley. PiatLs Zouaves,
on Saturday, moved from Camp Piatt to
Charleston. Two companies of the Seventh
Ohio also moved from Camp Gauley to
Charleston the same day.
The guerrilla parties recently infesting
the Kanawhs at Winfield, who fred into the

persed by an armed force sent after the rebel
hounds by Colonel Guthrie, of the First
Kentucky Regiment.

FRENCH OFFICERs IN OUR ARMY.-The
English newspapers speak of the refusal OF
the Emperor to allow French officers to enter
the United States army for service during
the war as if it were an unfriendly indica
ton Of the Emperor. 1t is nothing of the
kind. The refusal is simply to allow them
to serve in the United States army and hold
their rank in the French army at the same
time. Every French officer who chooses to
give up his rank in the French service has
full liberty TO come to the United States and
engage in ours. This is manifestly SO proper
an arrangement that the Misrepresentation
upon the subject seems strange. Every gov
ernment, our own included, acts upon this
rule, and during the Crimean War some OF
our officers were desirous of joining in that
conflict, but were restrained by the fact that
they could not go into foreign service and re-
tain their rank at home.

TO Sir Gowaine, "Thou alone hast loved me

speaker was in favor Of employing the whole
force Of the Government, ii necessary, to
keep them where they were. Let them work.
Our way has been to crush them to powder,
to grind out the last ray Of hope, and God
will now trust us no longer" The abolition
of slavery in Chill, Benares, Republic OF Col
umbis, State Of New York, st. Domingo, ETC.,
and the speaker claimed that no evil had re-
suited from it. In every case the nation that
had adopted emancipation had risen at once
in the scale of civilization and power. We
should not adopt the Bowie knife and the
weapons of slavery; they are not our forte.
We have no right to allow the liberty Of the
world and humanity's hope to be placed in
jeopardy single hour. If we would come to
use the weapons of peace, every army would
be forthwith disbanded.

NEWPORT NEWS.

Cor DUCKING.-TwO men, whose names
we have not learned-one of them soldier
fell into the river from the Newport ferry
float, on this side, about ten clock last night
but succeeded in getting out, one minus a
hat, and both thoroughly dacksd. In the
dark they had attempted to step from the
boat on the float, but having miscalculated
the distance, fell into the water. Their posi-
ton was perilous one, and their escape
seems almost miracle 1t is great wonder
that mishaps of this kind are not more num-
erous. We have often noticed persons who
were in a hurry jump from the boat when
she was three and four feet from the hoat
thus riskiDg their lives to gain mere trife
of time. We hope the occurrence of last
night will teach all such lesson.

A SIGN OF THE TIMss.-The reelection Of
Governor Brown, of Georgia, is significant
that State continue in opposition to the JEFF

enemy, decidedly, among all existing public
men at the South. He was repudisted by
its supporters, who nominated another in his

At Baltimore some days ago leading
Secesslonist was exulting over the embar-
rassment Of the Government in not being
able to find out where the rebel army had
gone, after Munson's Hill was given up. An
earnest loyal man standing by denied that
there was any trouble in the case at all, for it
was self evident where they had gone TO-.
"Where" eagerly asked the Secessionist.
'They have eaten up all that the face Of the
land had produced replied the UniOnisb
land they have gone back to Manassas to
burroW for the Winter-to hybernate, that's
all; but they won't stay there long, for Nc

same Secessionist thought that great injustice
had been done TO General Mcdowell, by
placing General Mcclellan in command of
the Federal Army of the Potomac. "Why
this sudden affection for McDOwellW asked

DEATH OF A FAT MAS.-Richard Holmes,
a colored cook at hotel in Utica, New York,
died recently at the age of forty -one, from
excessive fat He had long been out of health,
but died very suddenly at last. He weighed
between three and four hundred pounds, and
measured nineteen inches from his back
through to his breast, and other portions of
his body were in equal proportions. He had
worn female apparel for convenience sake
for the last fourteen years. finding it better
adep ed for his immense size. A post-mortem
examination revealed the following facts:
Upon opening the body, on line with the
chin downward, there was found to be two
and half inches thick of fat covering the
breast, and no less than three inches thick
ness of fat over the abdomen. The heart
was found to weigh nearly three times more
than ordinary; the lungs were :singularly
small, the whole of the right lung being not
30 large as a single lobe Of the lung of g
healthy subject. The kidneys were also much
larger than common, and other portions of
the body were disproportionstely large. The
skin of all the unexpOsed parts Of the body,
especially the lower limbs, was hard and
corrugated, like that of an elephant.

Lord Lyons is the diplomatic representa-
tive of the Queen OF England. We take
leave to refer him to two or three facts, and
would be charmed by his condescending to
answer them.
After considerable hesitation, arising from
the divided opinion in the British Cabinet
about acknowledging "the so-called South
ern Confederation" as an independent Re-
public, Queen Victoria issued a proclamation,
last May, strictly enjoining her subjects, at
home and abroad, to neutrality during the
present war between the North and the
South, requiring them not TO violate the pro.
visions of the Foreign Enlistment Act
(passed in 1919, to prevent British subjects
assisting the South American Republics)
and specially enjoining the observance of the
strictest neutrality.
Mr.. Arthur Rankin, Colonel Of the Ca
madam militia and member of the Cana
dian Parliament who has lately been en-
deavoring to raise q regiment of Lancers,
composed of Canadian recruits, for service
on the side of the Union during the present
war, has been arrested for breach of neutral
ity, held to bail, and will Immediately be
proceeded against on O charge of violating
the law. IT convicted, he will be fined or
imprisoned, perhaps both and at all events
he will lose his militia rank, and will prob
ably be expelled from his seat in the Cana
dian Parliament.
