Mr.. ADVERTISER:
We are still 10 camp here, with no
prospect Of moving very soon. Our
hopes Of bong cent to ks.tueky are con-
slderably dampened by the report that

not like the idea Of remaining inactive

A report by the scouts that Price was
moving on Sedalia, % miles from here,

TALENT AND ENERGY.-The theory OF the
poet Gray, that undeveloped Hampdens,
Millions and Cromwells lie lnonlderug III
many village graveyard, is very pretty
one. aud may be true. The world, however
can only judge of mans capabilities by
what be says aud does, and II rightly prefers
the man Of small talent, who makes occa
sions for its exercise, TO the mental giant,
whose intellect lies dormant until occasion
wakes it up. Latent genius that can only
be called into action by rare combination
of exciting circumstances, is of less practi-
cal value to mankind aud 10 its owner, than
mediocre ability with plenty of spontane-
GUS energy behind II.
We could put our finger upon many in
dividuals Of very moderate intellectual cal
ibre, who have left greater minds lull down
in their wake in the race for fortune and
even fame. The success of such men is due
to the motive power. The public refers
to them as perfect steamboats," and prac-
tically speaking, they are worth all the
gifted do-nothings that ever lived or ever
will live. You may call them fools If you
will, but they achieve their objects, and not
unfrequently extend helping hand to
laggards Of higher order of talent, but of
less energy aud determination than them
selves
These facts-and we all know by our
daily experience that they are facts--are
consolng to persons in whom ordinary ca
pacity is combined with irrepressible pluck
and indomitable perseverence-men. who,
as Billy Black says in the farce, "never
give nothing up"
Really great men however; those who
make their mark upon lhe age in which
they live and survive in it in history, are
class of beings Of different order. A
strong intellect, high moral qualities, and
energy commensurate to their full devel-
opment, are the elements of true greatness,
and whoever possesses these best gifts of
God to man, is indeed "Only little lower
than the angels" Alas! like angels visits
the advents Of such benefactors Of their
race are "few and far between;" and, when
most needed, we too often look for them in
vain.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-05-11

Curious CALcuIATIoN.-The vast number
of inhabitants who do live, and have lived,
upon the face of the earth. appear, at FIRST
sight, to defy the power OF calculation. Bat
if we suppose the world to have existed six
thousand years; that there now exist one
thousand million; that a generation passes
away in thirty years; that every past gen
GRAFTON averages the present; and that four
individuals may stand 10 one square yard,
we find that the whole number will not oc-
cupy compass so great as one fourth the
extent of England. Allowing six thousand
years since the creation. aud generation
to pass away in thirty years. we shall have
two hundred generations. which. at one
thousand millions each. will be two hundred
thousand millions. which. being divided 10y
four will leave fifty thousand millions of
square yards; there are in square mile
three millions, ninety-seven thousand. six
hundred square yards by which. if the for
mer sum be divided, It will give sixteen
thousand, one hun6red and thirty-three
square miles. the root of which, in whole
numbers, is about one hundred and twenty
seven; so that one hundred and twenty
seven square miles will be found sufficient
to contain the immense and almost in
conceivable number of two hundred thou.
sand nillions of human beings.
