EEL is a fact that the War Depal

H-It is fact that the War Depart
ments of England, France, and the United
States experienced similar and unsual
falling off in the recruiting business iu the
first month of the new year. In London,
although the Times says that at least fifty
thousand adult laborers are idle, sufficient
number of candidates to supply the current
wants OF the line do not apply; in France
the conscription has just been rendered
more exacting, because of.the falling off
in volunteers; and with us, while thousands
in our midst have no employment, appli-
cants for enlistment are fewer than they
been for years.

The Climate at Charleston.
A Charleston writer says: pr

Early Spring is coming upon us, and the
peach blossoms throw their fragrance in
the adjoining gardens. Green peas are al
so in blossom, and the rich strawberry is
forming its cones, while apples of ordinary
quality are worth a halfdime, and the
oranges usually so plenty are worth ten
cents piece. The Habenese seem afraid
of the Palmetto, and stay away. The no.
bic steamer Isabel still remains at her wharf
unwilling to run the risk of running to Gu
ba under the Palmetto, and waiting for
the European recognition of the New
Soutben Confederacy, ere she slips from
her moorings.

nEGeneral Scott is quitely receiving
information from all the army stations in
the Union, which will enamhle him to se-
lect the officers and men for emergencies or
important positions. The troops he has
at Washington, and the officers
who command them, had been privately
tested, unknown to themselves, before be-
ing summoned to the national capital; and
the fact that not single resignation or
mutinous act is recorded, shows with what
accuracy the movements were Managed

so years ofage, residing on Elm stree, near

extreme. He died few days ago, the bone

His fate is as extraordinary as it is terrible.

the American Minister at Berlin, in let

81 have not the heart to say anything
about my country. Still hold my old opin-
ions. We cannot have peaceabe separa-

cies are nonsense. We cannot be two peo-
pie, cannot be three people, cannot be four
people; we are one people or we are moth
ing. l would sooner fight citizen of my
country guilty of treason than to fight an
enemy in the world.
You may do many things, say many
things, but God is my judge, there is one
thing you shall not do; that is destroy the
temple erected by our fathers. This is the
only hope left for humanity elsewhere. l
hold any man guilty of treason who shall
attempt in any way to destroy this Union.
l say fght-fght on, no peace, until we
put down all traitors.

Extraordinary EEiracles-Ap-
pearaEce of a Saint i'm Mexico.

The Corpus Christi (Texas) Ranchero,
Of January -, has the following singular
statement:
Great excitement exists at the present
time among the Mexicans in Western Tex
as, and indeed among many Americans,
occasioned by a report that Saint had
mysteriously disappeared in Mexico, at
some point near Camargo, who possesses
the power to feed thousands of people with
two or three tOrtillas, (ittle cakes,) each
getting all be can eat; cures all diseases
flesh is heir to; restores sight to the blind;
in fact, performs all kinds of miracles. No
one can tell his name or where he came
from. He says that he will be killed in
Mexico, and requests that his murderer may
not be punished. He claims he is sent on
special mission to the Mexican people,
and that he shall perform many wonderful
things and make many disclosures before he
closes his career. Apparently but sixteen
or seventeen years of age, he has great
beard of patriarchial length; and as an ev-
idence that he is no impostor, it is repor-
ted that Gen. Vidaurri had him clearly
shavcn, and then told him if he was really
man of God, as he professed, to cause
his bead to reappear upon his face. The
Saint requested his interrogation 10 turn his
back few moments, which he did, and af-
ter making prayer and going through some
mysterious ceremony, presto! his face was
covered with beard the same as before.
Thus the story goes, and if not true, GER
tain it is true that the Mexicans of this
and adjoining counties are swarming thith-
er in large numbers, and some Americans
are preparing TO 90.

to your city and took their position in the line

Many encomiums were awarded to them for
their martial appearance and proficiency.
Thousands of spectators lined the streets, and
on Bridge street there has probably not been
so great crowd of soldiery and people together
at the same time since the day Of the visit of
lafayette to our town. The windows were
lined with the fair sex, and the waving of their
handkerchiefs, and the graceful toatings of
the starry banners from every point, showed
forth the patriotism OF our citizens.
Among the features of the anniversary here,
was an entertainment given by Dr. Kidwell to
company c, Of the Washington Light Infantry,
Captain II. c. Stevens, which they gracefully
acknowledged, and which was concluded by a
brief and eloquent address from the DR.. at their
