The New York Herald, IN an article
rejecting on news gatherers, uses the
following language:
We want TO know nothing about the
plans Of General Scott or any other
authority; neither do we wish for any
speculatlons as TO what is likely or not
likely TO be done. Let our CORES

think II, resist the temptation to convey

they will be acting like good patriots.
All that We want is prompt full and
accurate report of whatever movement
or action actually has taken place. We
want the actual news OF to-day. and
not VIVA. IS probable to occur Tomorrow.
The utmost dispatch IN communicating
unal,erable facts will be far more ap-
preclated than any quantity Of rumors
concerning them in advance.
This is the talk exactly. We want

GIVE HIM A TRADE-The advice Of
rankin, 20 give every child trade
oy Which he can earn y living, IF nee
eeSary, comes of a human experience
oder than the sage Of our revolution.
III some countries this has been the law !;
III others. common custom. ST. Paul
.hougn educated III the law, at The feet
OF GamaIlel. also acquired he oriental
handIcratt OF a tent maker, by which
he was able 10 earn his living while
prosecuting his mission.
IL IS good and WIS thing to do
You may be able 10 leave your children
fortunes bot riches take TO lhemselys
wings. You may give to them finished
educauonS, and they may be gifted with
extraordinary genius ; but they may be
placed IN situations where no education
and 40 talent may be SO available as
some humble, honest trade, by which
they can get their living and be useful
| 10 others.
Ii need not take seven years. Sew
eral months of earnest work are, IN
some cases sufficient 10 learn an ordl.
nary business. Il every young person,
male and female, were obliged, III the
intervals OF study, preparatory or pro-
tessional, to learn farming, gardening,
Shoemahng, tailoring, blacksmnhing ;
or, if ladies, millinery or dressinaklng,
or one Of twenty kinds of work or
business, Il would always give them
feeling of security or independence.
Il is well for every one to have some
thing to fall back upon. We do not
know what revolutions may come in
our time. We do not know what ms
fortunes may come 10 US individually.
There IS no harm in being able TO take
care OF ourselves IN any possible emer-
genCN.

The War.

There appears to be but little prospect
OF a decisive action between the two great
armies for the present An occasional
skirmish IS all that IS reported by the tel
cgraph, though to all appearance both ar
mics are prepared for action. We look
with some anxiety for the meeting of Con
gress, when it will be determined, we pre-
sumo, what course is to be pursued.
