A good story is told of Virginian emigrant
who stopped at Willard's q few days ago. There
was considerable doubt in the minds Of many
whether the man was really what he represen.
ted himself to be, or a spy. He told several
persons who were standing around him that he
was 80 we'll known in Virginia as Union man
that $4,000 was now offered for his head. "Why
don't you 60 back and claim the reward 2"
asked wag who was present. would, was
the reply, /" if wasn't afraid they would pay
me in Confederate bonds" 1t was unanimously
agreed, after this reply, that the mans loyalty
was above suspicion.

fore, more against this than the enemy, and you
can do much for yourselves which nobody can
do for you. % - &
l. Avoid especially all use Of ardent spirits.
II you will take them-tak them rather after
fatigue than before. But tea and coffee are
much better. Those who use ardent spirits are
aIways the frst to be sick and the most likely
to die. saA 'ss
2. Avoid drinking freely Of very cold water,
especially when hot or fatigued or directly after
meals. Water quenches thirst better when net
very cold and slipped in moderate quantities
slowly-though less agreeable At meals tea,
cohee and chocolate are best. Between meals,
the less the better. The safest drink in hot
weather is molasses aud water with ginger or
small beer
8. Avoid all excuses and Irregularities in eat
ing and drinking. Eat sparingly of salt and
smoked meats, and make it up by more vegeta-
6ies, as squash, potatoes, peas, rice, hominy,
Indian meal, &c., when you can get them
Eat little between, when you can get plenty at
meals
4. Wear flannel all over in all weathers Have
it washed often when you can-when not, have
It hung up in the sun. Take every opportunity
to do the same by all yeur clothing, and keep
everything about your person dry, especially
when it is cold.
8. Do not sit, and especially do not sleep
upon as Eseunl, even in hot weather. Spread
your blanket upon hay, straw, shavings, brush
wood, or anything of the kind. If YOU sleep
IN the day, have some extra covering over you
D. Sleep as much as you can and whenever
you can. 1t is better to sleep too warm than
too cold.
z. Recollect that cold and dampness are great
breeders of disease Have fire to sit around
whenever you can, especially in the evening and
after rain, and take care TO dry everything in
and about your persons and tents.
8. Take every opportunity of washing the
whole body with soap and water Rub we'll af.
forwards If you battle, remain in the water
but little while.
y. II disease begins to prevail, wear a wide
bandage Of flannel around the bowels
10. Keep in the open air, but not directly
exposed to hot sun. When obliged to do this,
thin. light. white covering over the head and
neck in the form of cap with cape, is good
protection.
IL. Wear shoes with very thick solos, and
keep them dry. When on the march, rubbing
the feet after washing with oil, fat or talow,
protects against foot sores.

Twelve Brigadier- Generals were also pres

review was improved on this occasion, the
firing being by regiments brigades and as q

Colonel Averill, commanding the Third
Pennsylvania Cavalry, formerly known as
Youpgs Kentucky Cavalry, was especially
complimented by General Mcclellan on the
fine condition to which he has brought the
regiment.
Yesterday General Wadsworth, accom-
panied by two privates of the New York
Twenty third Regiment, went to Brushes
house, three miles from Falls Church, on the

How The RebeIs Boast and Manage

A gentlemen of this city had occasion re-
Gently to visit Montreal, aud while there
stopped at the Donegana Hotel He found
the house filled with jubilant Secessionists,
who loudly boasted that ere long France and
England would recognize the Confederate
Government and that the recent increase of
the English force in Canada was part of the
proposed programme. The gentleman in
question, prominent merchant of this city,
being a foreigner and speaking with slight
accent, heard more of their plans than they
would have been willing to diyulge to one
who was supposed to be yankee and Liu-
colrite." To his surprise he found that a
nephew OF Beauregardis received letters from
the General every two days, addressed to the
President of the Bank of Montreal; others of
the same kind received letters with equal
regularity. He became well acquainted with
General Magruder, who, with his family, had
passed into Canada without the slightest diff
ficulty. There was one man there who was
looked upon with suspicion by the South
erners. When the New Yorker reached
Rouse's Point on his return, this person DO
litely informed him that he must search him,
as be seemed to be intimate with the South
ern rebels at Montreal
This official, if he had kept bright look
out previously, might have discovered the
rebel Magruder, who quietly left the cars
before they reached the Point and, in COM
pany with an Ex-Governor OF Rhode Island,
rode off in a light wagon. Our informant
met Magruder in this city, and says that be
boosted that their Generals knew every plan
| of our Cabinet and no power under heaven
could prevent them from getting all the de
tails they wished. The General remarked
with great emphasis, ave have our friends
| in all the Departments in Washington, and
we know how to keep them there" B..
Our informer is man of decided intelli-
! gence, and his statements are worthy of
| trust. He says that the Southerners in
| Montreal have abundance Of money; they
have their families with them. and they get
al the luxures they want from this city.
They boast that they can outbid the Federal
Government in Europe aud that very large
advances have been made by nominal British
sympathizers, who long to see the Republic
torn up by the roots. They instanced the
case of the Bermuda as an evidence of wha
they intended to do, and said that the sue,
cessful entrance of such vessel into the
! port of Savannah was worth great victory
on the field to them. Much of this is mere
bossting, but it has its effect-N. Y. Post

The New York correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes his last letter from Worces-
ter County, Mass. In the course of it he
says:
And first, in regard to the probabilities of
any social disturbances here, should the war
continue, would say that there is not the
slightest proba ability of any such thing. /
have seen no signs of such coming events
any-wbere-not even in New York, where,
if anywhere, the largest rowing population
is gathered. Least of all are there such signs
in the manufacturing districts. On the con-
trary, here are to be seen the greatest evil
dences of thrift and prosperity. The large
well. filled barns and comfortable farmShouses
and well. stocked pastures, tell their own
| story for the farmers. The mills with the
exception of the cotton mills, which have
either stopped or are running on short time)
and the mechanics shops are in full opera
tion, giving constant employment to all the
operatives; and the shops of the country
traders appear to be well stocked with goods
and with purchasers, which is, perhaps, as
good proof of prosperity as can De given.
In all quarters hear the same story ofrecent
| prostratioa and depression and of reviVing
| prosperity. The funds in the savings banks,
representing the accumulated millions of the
working classes, are untouched, except as
| drawn out in some few cases for investment
in the new Government Loan. The rate OF
wages of the day-laborer has been reduce,
owing to the failure of employment in the
large commercial towns, but there has been
a corresponding reduction in the expense of
| living, so that it is not accompanied with
suffering. One does not see here The unem
ployed men, the vacant shops, the hand-bills
and the piles of goods exposed for sale and
begging purchasers at any price, that may be
seen in any thoroughfare in New York.

From Rortress monroe.

FoRTREss MONROE, November 9.-The
ferry. boat Commodore Perry arrived this
morning from the great expedition.
She lost sight of the feet on Friday even
ing of last week about thirty miles off Bulls
Bay. The fleet was bearing toward Port
Royal. The Captain knows nothing about
the reported loss of the Union and another
transport. His boat became so disabled that
he could proceed no further, but had to run
toward the coast for safety.
The steamer NdytaOaeer was some distance
behind the feet with signal of distress, and
the Captain thinks could not have reached
her destination.
The Commodore Perry lay several hours
near Cape Fear, and finally made Hatteras
Inlet.
The flag of truce, to-day, brings not word
of news concerning the expedition.
The Twentieth Indiana Regiment, now al
Hatteras, will return to Old Point.

BALTIMORE, November 10.-The steamer
from Old Point has arrived. The passengers
report that flag of truce had arrived from
Norfolk and brought no news from the expe-
ditiop, but that the wheelsman of the rebel
steamer stated to one of the hands of the
Federal steamer that Beaufort had been taken
by The United States troops, and that our
flag was waving over the Court house.
Passengers by the boat also report that the
Richmond Enquirer of Friday contains a
dispatch from Charleston, dated Wednesday,
simply stating that the Federal troops had
landed at two points, and were marching in
land. The dispatch did not say what points.
The officers of the rebel flag of truce re.

among those who love their country better
than slavery. ..
The heart of the country was right, and
all great thoughts come from the heart. For
the rebels there can be no true success. De-
feat to them would be bad, but victory would
be worse. In the latter case the energy of
the North would be aroused to sublimity,
and the rebellion would die of itself, The
only peril which he feared was some new
concession to slavery. From all such peril,

"Justice" we would be twice blessed, and SO
would we elevate the slave.

Tren,opnble PubIIcntlous.

Judge Nelson, of the United States Circuit
Court in New York, in charge to the Grand
Jury, on Monday, thus laid down the law in
regard to reasonable publications:
Words, oral, written or printed, however
reasonable, seditious or criminal Of them
selves, do not constitute an overt act OF trea-
son within the definition of the crime.
When spoken, written or printed in rela-
tion to an act or acts, which, if committed
with reasonable design, might constitute
such overt act, they are admissible as evil
dence tending to characterize it, and show
the intent with which the act was committed.
They may also furnish some evidence of
the act itself against the accused. This is the
extent to which such publications may be
used, either in finding bill of indictment
or on the trial of it.
An attempt was made in the Parliament
of England during the reign Of james the
Second, to make reasonable words the sub
iect of this crime, but it was resisted by the
friends of constitutional liberty, and defeated,
ard since that time it has not been renewed
Such publications are misdemeanors at the
common law, indictable and punishable by
fine and Imprisonment. But as there are nc
common law officers recognizable in the Fed
eral Courts, unless made SO by act of Con.
gress, and as Congress has passed no act on
| the subject, this Court has no Jurlsdlctlor
| over them. The only act passed by Congress;
| on the subject was the act of l4th of July
1893 The second section of that act pro
yided that if any person shall writeI print
utter or publish any false, scandalous anC
malicious writings against the Government
or either House Of Congress, or of the Presi
| dent, with intent to defame the Government
| Congress or the President, or to bring them
or either of them into contempt or disre
pute, or to excite against them or either o
them the hatred of the seditiOus people ofth
| United States, or to stir up within the same
or to excite unlawful combinations therein
for opposing or resisting any law, or any &C
| of the President done in pursuance thereof
&c, such person, on conviction, shall be pun
isbed by fine not exceeding 50, 600, and i'm
| prisonment not exceeding two years.
The act was temporary one, and expire

TIE FRENCH PREss.-The Paris corre-
spondent of the Newark Advertiser writes
that progressive step has been taken by
the Aoniteur, too significant to be passed over
without notice. The letter says;
Hitherto the American letters published
by the official journal have appeared in small
type, among the local items and miscellane-
GUS intelligence. Yesterday, under the dis
tinctive heading "American," the MORiteur
contained letter dated New York, October
l, two columns in length and prominently
printed in large type, technically known to
the "craft" as Bourgeois" The writer gives
a general summary of the situation, and
minutely describes the state of affairs in
Missouri, entering into history of events in
that State since the call of President Lincoln
for seventy. FIVE thousand men, and Governor
Jacksonis refusal to furnish the Missouri
contingent. The appreciations given are
eminently Just, and are pervaded by an evil
dent sympathy for the Unionists. The letter
concludes with the statement that the Fed
eral Government sis actively preparing an
attack by sea. 1t is talked of concentrating
troops at Pensacola, whence expeditions will
be sent against New Orleans and Mobile
while Charleston will be assailed at the same
time. This, indeed, is the vulnerable point
| of the South, which has no navy"

TIE ENGLISH CLERGY AND THE WAR-Says
late London letter in the New York Even-
ing Post:
Mr.. Spurgeon makes most effective and
touching prayers, remembering, at least once
on Sunday, the United States. "Grant,
Oh, Godl" he said recently, that the Right
may conquer and that if the fearful canker
of slavery must be cut out by the sword, it
be wholly eradicated from the body polite,
of which It is the curse" He is seldom,
however, as pointed as this; and, like the
other clergymen Of England, simply prays
for the return of peace.
Indeed, il must be acknowledged that if
the English press and Government have done
what they could to continue this war, the
dissenting clergy of England have nObly
shown their good will and hearty sympathy
with the Americans, and their sincere desire
for the settlement of our difficulties. "If
praying would do you Americans any good" |"
said an irreverent acquaintance last Sunday,
"you will be gratifed to learn that force Of
a thousand clergyman-poweri is constantly at
work for you over here"

was turned against the enemies Of our country.
The Govern mtnt had not the means Of de-
tending itself where they were most needed.
This committee came forward and applied the
remedy and averted the danger.
The General, in few additional words,

kneg it had the sincere and most grateful
thanks of the Government-and closed, bid

MARION, o., November "a shocking

place last night about seven o'clock. While
Mrs. Levi Ulch was sitting in her room,
knitting, some one fired at her through the
window. One ball passed through her
breast and lodged under the skin of her
back. Another ball and seven shot struck
the wall at her side. She died in about an
hour afterward. No clue to the perpetrator
