The newspaper statements which have elic.
tied IN inquiry by the House of Representa-.
tives-that the Secretary Of the Navy has
issued an order to receive at the recruiting
stations none but native born citizens, are un.
true. The facts are that the number Of lands.
men offering was much larger than the service
required, and hence Boston is now the only
point where they are received. At all the sta.
tions seamen are enlisted, without regard TO
nationality.

A CRY RAILRoAD.-Those who have to move
about Washington at this oppressive season, or
indeed at any time, realize the need Of some
rapid and comfortable means of transit other
than by the ricketty old omnibuses and ex-
travagant coaches. A horse railrosd on Penn
sylvania avenue has long been called for. No
street in the Union is better fitted for it, and
Congress has Oh three or four occasions been
on the verge of giving charter for its con-
struction. 1t is now proposed, if it cannot
otherwise be provided, that the Secretary Of
War order it built as a Goresnment road, and
eventually turn il ouer to Congress, to be dis
posed Of as circumstances may warrant. OF
its pecuniary profit there can be no doubt, and
to the city it would be Of inestimable value and
convenience. Washington Correspondence NJ

Setlt and ats O6ices.-SOme modern agri-
cultural writers have doubted the necessity Of
giving animals salt The following remarks
as to the effect OF salt upon health, By Prof
James f. Johnston, of Scotland, may be rel
ished by those who still put salt iuto their
own puddiugs, and allow their cattle little
now and then.
The wild buffalo frequents the .alt-licks
of North western America; the Wild animals
IN the central parts of Southern Africa are a
sure prey to the hunter, who conceals himself
behind a salt spring: and our domestic cattle
run peacefully to the hand that offers them a
taste of shis delicious luxury. From time i'm
memorial it has been known that without salt
man would miserably perish; and among hor-
rible punishmeDts, entailiug certain death,
that of feeding culpr on saltless food is said
TO have prevailed IL barbarous times sAIag-
gOts and corruption are spoken ofby ancient
writers as The distressing symptoms which
saltless food engenaers; but no ancient or
unchemIcal modern, could explain how such
sufferiugs arose. Now we know why the an
imal Graves salt; why it suffers discomfort,
and Why it ultimately falls into disease if salt
is for a time withheld. Upwards of half the
saline matter of the blood (57 per cent } con-
'isfs OF common salt; aud as this is partly dis
charged every day through the skin and the
kidneys. the necessity of continued supplies
of it to the healthy body becomes sufficiently
obvious. The bile also contains soda as a
special and indispensable constituent. and SO
do all the cartilages of the body. Stint the
supply of salt therefore, and neither will the
bile be able properly to assist the digestion.

THE CITY.

THE LADIES or RooEPoRT AT WORK.-The
Festival of the Ladies' soldisra' Aid Society
of Rockport, held at silverthorn's Thursday
evening, S1st ult., under the esuperintendence
Of Mrs. G. B. Merwin, Mrs. J. H. Silver
thorn, Mrs. John Barnum and Miss E.
Taylor, was decided Auecess-more than
success, 1t was e triumph. The ladies of
Rockport who contributed Of their good
things for the supper are trumPs, every one
of them. If silverthorn's tables didn't
groan with the weight of the feast, then ia
bles never did grOan. Not less thau three
hundred sat down-or rather stood up to as
sumptuous feast as eer an epicure desired,
and yet there was enough LEFT untouched for
as many more. Leland's Band was in at
tendance and discOursed sweet music for
such as wished to trip the light fantastic
toe. All went merry as a marriage bell,
while "fair women and brave men" joined
in the maizy dance.
About he commencement Of the "wee
sma' hours" the whole company that could
sing-and all wished they cOuld-led by the
Band, joined in singing the "star spangled
Banner"
"TiIl roof and rafters all diA curt"
and patriotic FIRE was kindled that will not
20 out till this internal rebellion is put
down, and the glorious emblem Of our liber-
ty floats triumphantly where it is now in
suited
God bless and save our good and once
happy country, and the sOdiers who have
entered the strife, and the patriotic women
who are doing so much for he sick and
wounded, and the rebels by sending confu-
sion into their ranks, and let all the people
say Amen.
After paying expenses, the proceeds from
the festival was eighty-four dollars, which
will be appropriated by the Society to its
legitimate use. I! is highly proper, in Civ
ing this notice, that the liberality of Mr..
silverthorn should be mentioned, as he gaVs
the use of his entire establishment for the
benefit of the Society.
In matters of benevOlence and patriotism
silverthorn's heart is in the right place
every time.
