HOW TO ENJOY THE SPRINGS AND
STAY AT HOME

As the war will prevent many persons from
spending the summer at the fashionable Springs
of the country, we give the following directions
for enjoying themselves, In imagination, and at
the same time keep their money for more useful
purposes:
White iSuzphur-Tie roll of birthstone under
your nese and drink freely of thick, warm water.
Break some doubtful eggs in your pocket, and run
around until you are exhausted. Procure second
hand diabetes, change your linen six times Gay,
and strut loftily under a tree.
Old Suceet-Get large tub, and put some
white pebbles in the bottom. Sit down in it and
blow soap-bubbles. Dress your best, and don't
know anybody.
Red S,oeet.-Obtain some iron filings, paint
'em red, put 'em in a tin pan or pitcher and look
at EN- in solitary silence. Eat much mutton, and
60 to bed early. Whisky julep eight times day.
Salt Sulphur.-Call yourself South Caro-
linian, and take things easy. Live we'll. Stay in
one place long time. Tincture Of birthstone
occasionally.
Montgomery Whjte.-Wear a loose sack coat
and look at mulattoes frequently Eat great
variety of raw meats and undone vegetables. Play
at faro and draw poker.
Yelor Suiphur-Get good living on the top of
hill, where you can't see anything whatever.
Dominoes, draughts and back gammOn.

on the face, with few necks scrofulously raw
and dine with them daily on Indifferent victuals
Then catch the drippings from the caves of very
old house, in tin cup with long handle, thicken
the drippngs with powdered nutgalls, and drink
three times day.
Hot Spriags.-Wear q full suit of mustard
plasters, and walk about in the sunshine at
day, swearing you have got the rheumatism.
Peaks Of Otter.-Climb high pole on a cold
day at sunrise. Shut your eyes and whistle.
Heir's Caue.-Go into the cellar at midnight
feel the edges of things and skin your shins
against the coal scuttle. Sit down on a pile Of
anthracite with taow CANDLE and wonder.
Old Point Comto,t. Build a hog pen in
mud puddle, ELL it with cockle-burrs and thistles,
and call it surf-bathng. Drink bad brandy
Don't sleep. Lie down with your windows. wide
open, aud clothing on. Come home with
fshbone in your throat, an oyster shell in your
head pain in your stomach, and ten thousand
mosquito bites your body.
Cape Moy-Penetrate an immense crowd of
male and female rowdes drop some salt water in
both eyes. Shoot pistols. Eat some ice cream
and claret, and send up one sky rocket every
night. Have yourself insulted often by nIggers.

it. Fill your pockets with cut, glass broken into

Corn No one can compute, says the Macon
Telegraph, the disaster and misery which will
come upon US as people, should we fail to pro
duce this year the most abundant grain crop-not
such crops as have been called abundant heretofore
but such yield as will admit of waste in the
ordinary operations of war, and perhaps some con-
siderable destruction from the enemy short
crop or failure may be our ruin as people, for
we cannot starve and fight. s ~.--- -.
A scaDty corn crop is far more to be dreaded
than any thing our enemy can do to injure us
The planter who is insanely neglecting his corn
crop for cotton now, is unwittingly fighting the
battles of Lincoln. A good hand in the field is
worth as much to our cause good soldier in
the ranks, and the planter who is using hundred
such hands to produce only corr enough to feed
them is striking fell blow at the cause of his
country. If you are not sure you are doing your
part towards an abundant corn crop set about 1t
now in Gods name. One of our correspondents
says "plow up the cotton" Yes, pillow it up, if
need be- Look out for corn first, last and all
the time.

ANOTHER SoUTHERNER SHoT.-A man was
publicly shot in Washington few days ago by
six men for saying the alag of the South would
float over the Capitol at Washington in few DAYS.
The South will not forget these outrages upon
Southern men. Abe's myrmidons will fare badly
when they come in contact with the Southern
soldiers. 81. s

OBEY ORDERS.

ADVICE TO VOLUNTEERS The Mobile Tribune
publishes letter written by gentleman OF Ala
hama TO his son, young volunteer, which contains
some good advice. NequOte:
ain the first place, then, my son, when a soldier
shoulders his rifle under the flag OF his country,
he must surrender to that country his will his
whinrs, tastes, ancies and prejudices and the FIRST
highest and most solemn duty he owes to that
country is the most implicit and prompt obedience
to the orders of his superior officers. Disobedence
even In matters OF minor gravity, frequently for
feits life. Ii order is issued that must be the
end of inquiry. The success of battle or CAM
paign may depend upon the concealment of the
purposes of the command and it may become
necessary to punish with death an omission to
observe that which may seem to be very unm-
portant order to the soldier who does not under
stand it.
Napoleon once issued an order that the lights
of the camp must be extinguished at 8 o'clock, and
on seeing light burning in the tent of an officer,
after that hour had elapsed, he repaired thithcr in
person, and entered the tent Just as the officer had
finished writing his wifes name on the back of a
letter he had written to her. He told the En-
pelor he had unconscousy violated the law for
one moment, and it was done in the enthusiasm of
affection, with which he had been overcome by
thoGg hts of home. "Unseal that letter." said the
Emperor, land write | dictate" The officer
oleyed, and wrote as fellows: "P. 81 die to-
morrow morning, at o'clock, for violating the
laws of the camp, by not extngushing the light
in my tent ut the precise time l was commanded
to do it."
That decision may have seemed savage and bar
barous, but when your intellect shall have matured
to the comprehension of how much depends upon
subordination and rigid adherence to the laws of
the camp, you will see that Napoleon could only
be just to the thousands of lives under his care by
assuming the appearance Of cruelty to this one
delinquent
Obedience is not servility-it is duty 1t is,
therefore, not cowardly, but honorable. The camp
is no place for the soft manners of the drawing
room, and soldiers are proverbially blunt there
fore, do not imagine if an officer speaks sharply to
you that he wants to insult you or browbeat you -

How TO MAKE BALL CARTRIDGEs.-Prepare
stick four inches long, perfectly round, aud
little smaller than the ball small slices OF pa
per, an inch and half long, and wide enough to
90 one and a half times around the stick prepare
mucilage of water and gunlarabic; roll the paper
on the stick time, then put on the mucilage
and press it firmly by rolling il then trim the
stick one eighth of inch and put muciase in the
end of the paper, insert the ball and stand 1t on
the point in a cup of -four, or fine dir: OF sand,
and let it remain until it is dry. This mode is
much more convenient and better than the ordna-
~ one of tying the paper to the ball.
