The Leclair Lamp.-I have had the celebrated
Leclair Lamp in use for some time, and have no
hesitation in pronouncing it superior as burner,
both as regards cheapness and brilliancy, to any
other lamp now offered for sale. The light is
soft and luminous, and lamp of parlor size
equal to at least four sperm candles.

you. I have given it fair trial, and am satisfied
that it is superior to any light have ever used
The fame is soft and brilliant, giving equally as
much light two Kerosene lamps Of equal size,
and at least three sperm candles. For cheap
ness it cannot be eXcelled.

Capt. Batters6y We have used one of your
Leclair Lamps for some time, and find it to give
good, cheap and brilliant light, and to be the
most economical now in use. We take pleasure
in recommending it to the public.

The Leczan Lamp prefer the light given
by this Lamp to that given by candles, coal oil,
camphene, kerosine, or gas. 1t is far pleasanter
and cheaper than either, and perfectly free from
danger. The very fact of it being non-explosive
should recommend it to all who use lights.

Capt Batters5y, Sir:-We have used the fse-
clair Gas Lamp in our Drug Store for several
weeks, and find it to be what it is recommended.
1t produces splendid light, is easily managed,
and at the present price of fluid, one-half or
less than that of coal oil, we consider it a
cheap and agreeable light. For reading it has
no superior. FRANCHERE & BUTLER.

GEN, FREMONT.

The H,rntd'S arrest of Gen. Fremont
is happily no better founded than its death
of JEFF Davis, its capture of 1000 Rebels
by Gen. Butler the day after the defeat
of Big Bethel, or any of its other fab ica-
tions The propriety Of supersedlng Gen.
Fremont has been talked about, in Wash
ington and elsewhere; let those who de-
light in the topic keep Oh talking inded-
nitely; but the arrest itself would be quite
another matter. 1t is hardly possible
that the Administration should take step
so grateful to its enemies aud so deDreca-
ted by the great body of its friends. So
far as we see, there is not a semi Secession
journal in the Free States which does
not habitually disparage Gen. Fremont
and give prominence to every story that
is told to his prejudice. On the other
hand, a considerable portion of the Union
Volunteers now in Missouri enlisted to
fight under his banner, aud will not easily
be reconciled to lis ignominious recall
We believe, therefore. that the Admins,
tration will not supersede him unless the
considerations impeling to that step are
imperative. Gen. Fremont is still young
man and commander of limited expert
ence; so that, had it been deemed advi-
sable at first to assign him subordina.e e
rather than a departmental command, not
one of his friends would have deemed him
But to give him the second
place in the armies cf the Union, and then
snatch i, from him on the very eve of de-
cisive events, and after his weeks Of ar
duous and effective preparation, would be
quite another matter, and would be widely
and deeply deplored.

EAif Carson Coming.

I met today an intelligent EDglishman
who is OF his way back to his native
place, after ten yeas absence among the
Indians on our western frontiers. Dur
ing all this time he has been engaged in
trapping, hunting. and all the adventur-
turous avocations of the pioneer. For
the last three years he has been the friend
and companion of Kit Carson, whose fame
as a huntsman is world wide, and conse-
quently has laid up store of incidents
connected with their adventures in the
West At the time he left Salt Lake
City, Kit Carson was busily engaged in
raising a corps Of mounted rangers, COM
posed not of half Greeds or -avages, but
of shrewd, practical trappers ike himself,
WHO have spent their lives on the prairies
and know of no enjoyment but that which
comes from wild adventure and Iicissi
tude. With these, Carson purposes
coming eastward and offering bis services
to the Federal Government. He selects
his men himself, and accepts of none IN
less qualified by long years of experience
On tue plains. They will be mounted OF
the swift Mexican mustang, and will be
armed to the teeth with Colts revolvers
bowie knives, and Sharp's rifles.

The Future Omce-holders.

President Lincoln makes no secret of
the fact that when the rebellion is sup
pressed, he intends to make new dis
pensation of the immense list of Offices
in the Gift of the Government. He de
signs to ignore the adage, Republicans
are ungrateful," and to improve on the
motto, ITO the victors belong the spoils?'
He has frequently said that he longs for
the time when he can prove his love for
the saviors of the Republic, by placing
them in Offices of honor and profit. His
keen eye is watching the men who are
rallying at the call of their country, and
when peace shall crown their labors and
their perils, the vast army of place-men
must make room for the Scared veterans
of Manassas, and it may be of chmond,
Charleston and New Orleans.
What an impulse this will give TO en-
listments The fact that the soldiers
life is the open door to honorable posi-
tions, and perhaps Independence, will
stir up the young men of the loyal States
to deeds of enterprise and daring. This
determination will be seconded by the
people at large, with the exception, per
haps, of the Office holders, who owe their
present positions to pot-house influence,
or their pliancy as tools of this or that
member of the Cabinet. Lincoln is de-
termined to initiate Napoleon in his love
for the "National Guard" and he says,
'the brave crew who get the ship off the
rocks shall man her when she gets into
mooth seas"

The overthrow of Yankee rule will
yield us little profit, if We do not thor
oughly eradicate all Yankee institutions
from among u.s. In the South the politi-
cal should be made to conform TO the
social status. A wit wiser than that of
man, has provided for us, in African Sla-
very. solid foundation on which to uulld.
With that as basis, political and social
fabric may be erected, durable in its char
acte, and full of blessings.
All physical labor, beyond that which
is essential to health, is in its nature de-
grading, and is at the expense of the in
tellect or the body. 1t was the primeval
curse, and every wise man seeks to escape
its influence But apart from this there
is an eternal conflict between capital and
labor, in every state of society, except
that which exists among US. Here alone,
where capital and labor are in the same
hands, are those two implacable antago-
nists reconciled Elsewhere there is an
irresistible tendency to the accumulation
of property in the hands of the few.while
the millions are toiling and starving and
forever threatening the happy few.
In a slave holding community, every
white man should be a gentleman, bred
to arms and to manly exercises, and to
habits of command. The laws should be
framed with view to ensure these re-
suits.
In the Northern States the system of
universal elections and universal suffrage.
Of free press, free speech. free labor, free
schools and free love has been thoroughly
tried and under the most favorable cir =
cumstances. The result is before us ; it
is complete and disastrous failure. The
people of those States have not only lest
all sense of liberty, they have lost liberty
Itself, and are so degraded as to rejoice
in the loss Every man of them Is liable

erately and joyfully surrendered the writ
of habeuS corpus--the only safeguard OF
personal freedom. This is the political
result of their boasted system of free la
Dor, and universal elections.
The moral aud social results are not g
whit more inviting, In their system
