iutant General }. P Downer is First Liuetenant;

Japanese Little Folks.

The Hon. Frank Hall, who is now in
Japan, speaks thus favorably Of the
Niphonese children:
During more than half years.
residence in Japan, never saw a quar-
rel among young or old. I have never
seen a blow struck, scarcely an angry
face. have seen the children at their
sports, Hying their kites on the hill, and
no amount Of intertapgled strings or
kites lodged in the trees provoked an
cry words or impationce. l have seen
them intent on their games of jack
stones and marbles under the shaded
gatoways Of the temples, but have never
seen an approach to a quarrel among
them. They are taught implicit obo-
dience to their parents, but have never
seen one of them chastised. Respect
and reverence to the aged is universal.
A crying child is u rarity seldom seen
We have nothing to teach them 10 this
respect out of our abundant civilization
[ speak what 1 know of the little folks
Of Japan, for more than any other for
eigner have been among them. OF
all that Japan holds, there is nothing l
like halfso well as the happy children.

eyes and ruddy brown faces with pleas

little maidens in the streets, and flown
kites in the fields with as happy set OF
boys as one could wish to see. They
have been my guides in my ramblos;
shown me whore all the streams and
ponds we're, where the flowers lay hid
in the thickat, where the berries were
ripening on the hills; they have brought
me shells from the ocean and blossoms
from tho fields, presenting them with
all the modesty and less bl7hful gtaca
than a young American boy would do.
We have hunted the fox holes together

ducks among the hedge, They have

Commercial HEoot Of the war.

Referring 10 the Trade statistics Of
the United States for nine months Of
tho calendar year, the American and
European Circular Of Hallet & Co. re-
markS:
Such IS an approximately correct
statement Of the foreign commerce Of
she United States for the present oalen.
dar year. In the calculation, the sooe-
ding States virtually disappear The
result is the same as IL they we're blot
ted out Of existence. Under the cir
cumstauees, the exhibit is q most extra
ordinary and encouraging ono for our
people. It shows that they still retain
al the attributes Of O natioa-thnt they
can part with the South, and still keep
eli other nations their debtors. The
result iB still more extraordinary, 90 the
catastrophe Of the rebellion was not on
ly not provided against but was never
forosoen till il was precipitated upon the
nation. The ship Of State was caught
in the storm with every yard Of canvas
flying. That it did not 90 down, was
due 60 It's imperial strength; and though
part Of the cargo may be lost, enough
is preserved TO maintain our commercial
indepe endence unimpaired, bring every
other nation into our debt, and leave us
ample means for the prosecution Of tho
war on a colossal scale History does
not furnish parallel Of nation under
going a similar crisis, aud coming out
Of it more resolute than ever.
Whether the war goes on or not, the
statement for 1862 will probably be still
more strongly in our favor. If it goes
on, the economy Of the consumption
Iof luxurieB will be greatly reduced,
while the demand for textile fabrics Of
ell kinds, except silks, for iron and its
manufactures, will be mainly supplied
| by our domestic manufactures Money,
for the future, is likely TO rate very
nearly ss low hera ss in Europe A
high tariff will probably DO continued
for the present The combination Of
theBe will keep foreign articles that we
nave been accustomed to import very
largely, out Of tho market. Since July
we have been importing into the port
of New York only at the rate of $751;
100000, instead of $40, 100000 as
formerly Should the rebellion be so
far crushed as to bring out the cotton
crop, commencing with the first of the
year, our exports of domestic produce
for 1862 will exceed our imports Of for
eign merchandise by at least $3.50, ,000,-
600, to be paid for in gold. Upon the
drama that is being enacted here, the
eyes Of all the world are turned. Should
the crop fail to come forward, we can
scarcely estimate the loss and suffering
that would be caused in foreign coun-
tries, or the political or social conse-
quenoes to which it might lead If the
crop should be relieved, the enormous
amount Of gold that would be required
to pay for the crop would probably Gre
ste q dis turbanoe in commercial circles
abroad fully equal TO the disturbing
cause, which has a magnitude unequal
cd in commercial experience. We have
passed through the crisis in this oOun-
try, and have emerged on firm ground.
Whichever alternative may happen, we
shall be ready for it, aud will profit
by it.

Economy.

We have but a faint notion Of econo.
my in this country, and there are but
few persons who seem able to exercise
its spirit in thoir mode Of living. As
general thing, yonng people, clerks, and
the like, calculate to live fully up to the
amount Of their income, if indeed they
do not out-run its limits and become
involved in debt So with married men,
Of humble means; they calculate to
spend about as much as they get, and
often find themselves involved in debts
they cannot liquidate. Now there is
simple rule which, if adopted, would
make people quite independent.
In the drst place let a mans income
be ever so small, he should calculate to
save q little, and to lay it by, if only
five dollars a year. This will be sure to
keep him from running in debt, and as
soon as he finds that he has a sum Of
money saved, there is natural incent-
i've to add to that amount, and thus un-
Willingly, as it we're, he begins to accu-
muiate. This operation once com
menced, he will be surprised TO see how
fast his means improve; and then the
slow but sure increase Of principal by
tho accumulation Of interest is matter
of clear gain. In this relation our own
style Of saving banks, and new five cent
saving banks, are accomplishing n work
Of great good, being practical suggcs-
tions to the people that cannot fail Of
their influence
Never purchase any article of dress
or luxury until you can pay cash for it;
this is most important to observe,
and the credit system, in fact, has done
quite as much to ruin debtors as cred
itors. A vast number of little expens-
es (but large ia the aggFegate) would
be saved if one always paid the money
for the samo at the time Of purchase, in
place of having it charged. Pay as you

omy.

CUMBERLAND GAP.-Muoh has been
said about this point, aud in the future
the interest in that quarter is likely TO
increase. Ii is situated about ten miles
from Cum berland Ford, and has been
celebrated for century as a great de-
preston in the mountain ridge which
traversos the continent from New Hamp-
shire to Northern Alabama. Through
this gap, very similar in appearance aud
characteristics to the South Pass in
the Rocky Mountains, formerly the emf
grants from Virginia and North Caro-
lima passed on their way to the virgin
wilds Of the West. For half a oentu-
ry thousands upon thousands poured
through this natural gateway into the
Mississippi Valley from the Atlantic
slopes, Boone, Kenton, and their pio-
noer confrerss, first entered the land of
"cane and turkey" over the pre- -Adamite
turnpike, 1t really forms TO this hour
the best, and, in fact the only praotica
bic road for the transportation Of troops
and heavy munitions of war from East
Tennessee into Kentucky.
