Loves Labor Lost.

The London Times, and other journals
in the interest of the English Palmerston
Government, have been Industrious and
marked in their endeavors 10 warn and dis
courage English capitalists from having
anything whatever TO do with the New
American Loan. By this time those Rebel
sympaihzing journals must be convinced
that they have made egregious ninnies OF
themselves in this matter of the Loan.
They have been refusing favor never ask
cd, and one not likely to be asked, for from
present appearance it does not appear that
any attempt will be made to dispose Of O
dollars worth of the new bonds in Europe.
The loyal citizens of the United States arc
able 20 take the whole amount of the Loan.
and would be were it three times as large
as it lie; they are willing to take ii, as events
have demonstrated, for they have faith in
the stability Of their Government 10 meet
it; aud they have every reason to believe
that the integrity, honor and power Of the
Government will be maintained, for those
who are subscribing 10 the Loan are deter
mined with their own strong hands to sup
port aud uphold the Government TO which
they are willing to trust not only their for.
tunes, but their sacred honOrs. The Ameri-
can people are willing to furnish the Uni
ted States Government with all the pecn-
mary aid il requires TO put down Rebellion,
aud they are determined that the Govern
ment shall be in a condition to repay all
advances, by using all their physical pow
ers to enable it to crush out Treason and 10
punish Traitors. The United States Gov
ernment is creature of the people /; il is
an engine devised by them for their own
protection to it the people are indebted
for the property and prosperity they pos
sees ; aud their conduct of late shows that
they are willing to hazard life and property
in defense of the Government, as without
the latter the former would be valueless
and they have abundant abilities to furOish
both TO any amount necessary to protect
the Government from the assaults OF all its
enemies, whether domestic traitors or for
eign foes. The American Loan will not be
compelled to seek market either 10 Eng
land or France, and all the efforts of the
Palmerstonan journals to depreciate that
loan are just so much "Labor Lost" 70
their unhappy domestic troubles, the Ame-
rican people will convince the English Pal
meFston Ministry, and the whole world
that they are able 10 successfully fight their
own battles and to pay their own expenses
They ask for no physical or pecuniary aid
from any foreign powers, neither will they
submit to imperdnent interference from
any.-[CNll.

THE BAREFoOTED PRINTER Boy The
Pittsburg Morning Ariel, under this caption
gives short story Of a distinguished citizen
OF Pennsylvania, as follows:--
Some forty years ago barefOOted boy
footed down the Susquehanna on q humble
raft, and arrived at Harrisburg He came
from the North, and belonged to large
family; all his worldly goods were tied Bp
10 little pocket handkerchief He sOugbt
aud obtained employment in printing Of
flee as an apprentice. From an apprentice
to journeyman, from journeyman to
reporter, then to an editor, the barefooted
printer boy worked away against obstacles
which the suffering poor only know. The
persevering follower in Franklin's steps be-
gan to realize the fruits Of toll and pfiva-
tion. The young aspirant became q printer
to the State, aud by frugal management
was soon enabled to accomplish the object
nearest bis heart-the establishment Of bis
mother in home above want--in posses.
sion of every comfort she could desire. His
brothers were his next care; aud, like Ma
poleou, he had a strong arm with which 10
aid them-an indomitable perseverance, that
nothing could long successfully obstrucL
III le" years, Iuey, toVS WIN his HiSeSIfs
we're independent in the world; the once
barefooted printer boy was 10 possession Of
influence, surrounded by young and az
fectiOnate family. lie was the friend Of the
friendless, patron Of merit, and an en-
cOuFager in industry. He rose in honor
and Office, until the barefooted printer boy,
who entered printing Office in Harrisburg,
hungry and weary, laid down his bundle on
pile of wet paper and asked to become
printers apprentice, was elected a United
States Senator. This man is Simon Cam
eron. the present Secretary of War.

Much PHILOSOPHY IN A Few WORDS
The following extract we make from one
of DIR. Hollands late essays upon human
life, now published in the Springfield Re-
publican. The philosophy it inculcates
would save a vast deal Of unhappiness
1t seems very melancholy thing for a
man to carry a mental ulcer with him
through life-to feel its pricks and pangs
in every effort-to be conscious of its pres
ence every hour-to be engaged in cover
ing it from sight. or ia attempt to deceive
the world with regard TO it. Life is alto
gether too good thing to be spoiled by
little sore, or a large one, when there eX-
lists an obvious mode of cure. 1t is our i'm
mense and intense self-consciousness that
stands in our way always in this matter.
The truth is that the world does not think
half so much about us as we imagine it
does. A man may walk through the city
Of New York with face Gas homely as u
hedge-fenee," thinking about it all the
time, and wondering what the people think
of it, and not q man of all the throng will
even see it. 1t is so in all the world at
large. Our personal peculiarities, our per-
sonal failures, our personal weakness, our
personal affairs generally. possess very lit
tie interest for others. They have enough
to do in taking care Of themselves, and have
weakness and failures and peculiarities
enough of their own and if the world should
spurn our well-meant efforts in its behalf.
why, let it go. 1t effects nothing to get
sore and sensitive over it. When man
truly learns Of how little Importance he is
in the world, he is generally beyond the
danger of becoming CALLED by his harness,
whatever it may be.

AErada RelllOtrat.

The COLoRADo DEsERT.-ProE. Blake, in
q recent lecture in San francisco, speaking
of the Colorado Desert, pronounced IL as
fine a specimen of the desert as that Of Lyb.
ia or Sahara. 1t extends from the base of
San Bernardino southeasterly, $50 miles,
part of it's surface being below our boun-
Diary line 10 Sonora. Its area is 9, 900 square
miles; aud, excepting the Colorado, which
cuts across its lower end, is without river or
lake. 1t stretches off to the horizon on all
sides without one glimpse Of vegetation or
life. Its surface is asby and parehed; its
frame of mountains rise pinnacles of brown
rock, bare even of soil. Words are unequal
to the task of describing its apparent ex-
panse, the purity of its night, tue brilliancy
of the stars that Overhang it, the tints Of
the mountains at daybreak, the looming up
of these beyond the horizon, the glare of
the midday sun, the violence of its local
storms Of dust and sand. Parts are entirely
destitute of sand, being smooth, compact,
sunbaked clay;-other parts are covered
with heaps of sand, disposed like snow-drifts
in waves of so aud 80 feet 10 hight. Near
the mountains along the Colorado there is
a terrace as fiat as the floor, and paved with
pebbles Of nearly uniform size, of porphyry,
jasper, quartz, cornelian, and agate, all
rounded by the action of water, and pol
ished till they glisten by the driving sand.
In this respect again, the porch of our Great
Desert is like that which outlines the ybian
Desert Doubtless the northern part of The
desert is the dry bed of an ancient lake of
fresh water, whose beached lines are strongly
marked. Probably, OF comparatively re-
cent period, the water of the California
Gulf covered all the clay surface of the
desert. 1t lies below their level now, and
if a channel we're cut through the natural
embankment of the Colorado, it would be
doubtless covered again with water. 1t is
very probable that the Colorado Desert re-
gion was upliited within historic times.
Earthquakes occasionally agitate its surface
and in 1852, there were eruptions of mud
and hot water in the central parts of the
valley.

To REMOVE INK PROM PAPER. &C.-The

Of writing-ink, whether accidently split or

CAvE.-A cave has been discovered in
the range of mountains east of Carson river,
aud but few miles from the coal regions,
that is quite a curiosity. It has a large
mouth or opening, facing to the west the
chamber is about thirty feet in diameter,
and eighteen feet high. The roof is oTna-
mented by stalacttes, and the floor cover
ed with petrifactions of vegetable and ami.
NAL nature. The cave seems to be situated
in an extensive limestone formation, and
must have been the resort of animals from
time immemorial. A party prospecting for
coal were the discOverers. They sly that

ScOtt's Plan of the War.
eIINI 10 IHnt1

WARRINGTON, June &c
The reports circulated of change In the
plans of Gen. Scott, and that he will commence
active operations against the Rebels are erro
neous. We are farther than ever removed
from battle. Gen. Scott has no purpose of risk
ing general engagement. The only conflicts
between US and the Rebels, which are likely to
transpire at present, are skirmishes. General
Scotts programme is the concentration of Fed
eral forces in Virginia and the other border
States, in such large bodies as to make It mad
ness for the Rebels to attempt attack. While
thus intimidating them, the presence of our
force will encourage the loyal citizens to rise in
sufficient numbers to prevent any further out
| RACES, cut off their resources, increase the dis
satisfaction in their camps and cause desertion,
and by thus harraesing and demoralizing them,
drive them from the border States.
Gen. Scott Is confident that, this ACCOMPLISH
ed, the loyalty of the Border States is fixed.
Then it is bis purpose to transport by sea an
immense force to operate against the Gulf
States. They will be landed under the protec-
tion Of men-of war, at the prominent points on
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and thus threat
ened by the approaches from the sea, the au-
thorities of the different States will at once re-
call their troops from the main body; and thus
break up their grand army and make it power
less for any offensive movements. The frag.
ments in the different States being then cut off
from supplies from the Border States, will be
driven to accept terms from Washington.
IL is no part of the plan as at present arrang-
ed to attack the debris Of the Rebel army, or to
attempt to retake any of the stolen forts; as the
restoration of them will be made one of the con.
ditions dictated to the Rebels when they find
themselves forced to accept terms.

The OLD QUAKER's ARGUMENT. these

in the land. we fad among many Of our mod

OF the following story, which is told in the art-
Gle entitled "The Book Hunter" in the May
number of Blackwood's Magazine. The hero
of it was the frat Quaker of that Barclay fami.

He was Colonel IN the great civil wars, and
had seen wild work in his day; but in his old
age change came over him, and becoming q
follower of GEORGE Fox, he retired to spend the
residue of his life on his ancestral estate In
Kincardineshire.

BALTIMORE, June 81.
AT three o'clock this morning, George P.
Kane, Police Marshal of this city, was arrested
at his house, by order of Gen. Banks, and con-
veyed to Fort McHenry, where he is now held
as prisoner.
Gen. Banks has issued proclamation nomi
mating John R. Henley, of the Maryland Regi.
ment, Provost Marshal, and also supersedn q
the powers of the Police Commissioners. Mr..
kenley Is to exercise supreme control over the
Police Department until some known loyal ci,i.
zen 10 appointed to act as Marshal.
The proclamation gives as a reason for the
arrest of Kane, that he is known to be aiding
and abetting those in armed rebellion against
the Government, and Ia at the head of an arm 4.
ed force which he has used to conceal rather
than detect acts of treason to the Government.
Considerable excitement ia occasioned by the
arrest Of Marshal Kane. The Union men are
pleased, but the secessionists are indignant,
Col. Henley, Provost Marshal, waited on the
Mayor and Police Commissioners, when the latter
asked time to consider the matter. Keuley re-
piled that his orders were immediate. He then
proceeded to the Marshal's office, taking pos
session. The Commissioners then directed the
officers to obey the military authority, but de
clared their intention to prepare protest against
