THE REBELS NEED MoNEY.-The financial
member of the rebel Cabinet refuses to give
any relief to the planters on their solcits-
tion, either by the purchase of the cotton
crop or an advance upon its hypothecated
value. He declares that the South, being
now engaged in gigantic war; needs money,
and no planters notes or produce. He is
very liberal in his advice, if he is economical
of his aid. for he tells the planters The gov
eminent needs a loan and nothing 10 give
to the banks for aid, and in future cultivate
grain and other products, instead OF cotton,
for their own supplies. 1t appears, by the
Richmond Advertiser that the expenses of
the rebel government for the current year
are set down at three hundred millions. To
meet this there are ten millions of the eight
per cent. rebel boDds--all that could be issued
out of fifteen millions; there is the produce
loan, which, as the Richmond editor declares,
everybody except two financial enthusiasts
knows TO be failure; there is direct tax,
which may" yield fifteen millions; aud a
hundred millions of treasury notes, the issue
of part of which has already driven specie
out Of circulation. At the very best there is
deficiency of one hundred and seventy fve
millions to be provided, and no visible means
for doing this. The inquiry is therefore
naturally addressed TO Mr.. Memminger, what
he proposes TO do2 He will probably find il
more difficult TO answer this question, and
less satisfactorily than he did the planters
The want of money is the worst want the
rebels can be afflicted WITH and it is the one
which is the most difficult to find any RELIEF

WAsHrNe CALIcoEs.-Calico clothes, be-
fore they are put in water, should have the
grease spots rubbed out as they can not be
| seen when the woolen garment is wet.
! They should never be washed in very hot
soap suds; that which is middling warm
will cleanse them quite as well, and will not
extract the colors so much.
Soft-soap should never be used for cali
Goes, excepting for the various shades OF
yellow, which look the best washed with soft
soap, and not rinsed in fair water, and
dried in the shade.
SETTING THE COLoRs.-When calicoes in
cline to fade, the colors can be set, by wash
ing them in lukewarm water with beef's
! gall in the proportion ofa tea-cupfull to four
I or FIVE gallons of water Rinse them in fair
water; no soap is necessary, without the
clothes are very dirty. If so, wash them in
lukewarm suds after they have been first
rubbed out in beef's gall water.
The beefs gall can be kept several months
by squeezing out Of the skin in which it is
inclosed adding salt to it, and bottled and
corked tight. A little vinegar in the rims
ing water of pink, red and green calicoes,
is good to brighton the colors, and keep
them from mixing.
WASHING WooLENs.--If you do not wish
to have white woolens shrink when washed,
make a good suds of hard soap, and wash
the iiannels in it, without rubbing any soap
on them rub them out in other suds, then
wiring them out Of it, and put in n clean
tub, and turn on sufficient boiling water to
cover them, and let them remain until the
wa,er is cold.
A little indigo, in the boiling, makes the
flannel look nicer. If you wish to have
your flnnnels shrink so as to have them
thick, wash them in soft-soap suds, and
rinse them in cold water.
Colored woolens that incline to fade
should be washed with beefs gall and warm
water, before they are put into soap suds.
Colored pantaloons look very we'll washed
with bcefs gall and fair warm water, and
pressed OH the wrong side while damp.
WASHING SILK GooDs.-Silk garments
should have the spots extracted before be-
ing washed. Use hard soap for all colors
but yellow, for which soft soap is the best.
Put the soap in hot water, beat it till it is
perfectly dissolved, then add sufficient of
cold water to make it just lukewarm. Put
in the silks, and rub them in it till clean !;
take them out without wringing, and rinse
them in fair lukewarm water. Rinse them
in another water, and for bright yellow,
crimsons and maroons, add sulphuric acid
enough to the water to give it an acid taste,
before rinsing the garment in it.

If we turn TO the prospects of the war
itself, we shall find even less reason to hope
for q speedy or definite conclusion. Ia Vir.
ginia, where the main forces of the bellige-
rents still confront each other, it is probable
that the Northern army has been gradually
acquiring a preponderance of strength and
power. Perhaps we might safely assume
that it is now intrinsically superior to the
army of the South, but the Southerners have
an advantage of position by which that su:
periority is more than counterbalanced.
They can afford to continue on the defensive.
So long as they hold the Federal army in check
they are Substantially successful. They appear
now to have retired from their first position,
but the retirement seems attributed to STRAIT
egetic reasons only, and, from all we can
learn, it leaves them as strong as before.
They have repudiated the authority of the
Federal Government, renouuced their ale
glance to the Union, founded a new Confed
eracy, and en- cred upon a new national
career.
All this they have done, and so long as
they continue to do 60, or in other words, so
long as they defy their antagonists in tue
field and bar he approaches to their own
territory against all the force which the North
can bring, they may claim to be victorious.
They are at war, no doubt, but they are
fighting under their own flag. Their inde-
pendeDCe has to be defended, but still 1t eX-
lists. They have gotta President, Congress
and an army of their own, and, except that
they are threatened with invasion, they are as
well off as they wish to be. To the North
erners, on the contrary, every day of mac
ten is day of defeat. They are fighting,
not to keep something, but to regain some
thing, and until they actually regain the lost
provinces of the Union they are virtually
worsted in the struggle. Consequently, II
they are to win, they must advance-that is
to say, they must assume the offensive, and
attack the Confederates in their chosen po-
sitions. If they should succeed in this form
liable operation, which by the last advice!
seems to be imminent, they will still have tC
pursue retiring army over an immense ter
ritory, and to occupy in some manner OF
other the territory itself II seems hardly
conceivable that, in defiance of the popula
ton, such consequence could be eVel
maintained.

One of the prevalent weaknesses Of the
gentler sex is a passion for military clothes.
An epsulette, sash and sword can throw al
most any young woman iuto paroxysm of
delight and admiration, withoutthe slightest
reference whatever to the character and
quality Of the person who may wear the be-
WitchiDg insignia of manly valor and glo-
rious war. Out of this infirmity of the girls
a very ridiculous law suit for breach Of
promise of marriage recently arose in Ger
many. A wealthy bakers daughter fell in
love with young lieutenant in the army,
and she promised her hand if papa would
consent That consent was given, on condi-
tion that the soldier should resign his pro-
fession and settle down to the baking busi-
ness. The condition was accepted, and the
dashiDg young officer forthwith gave up b 3
commission and assumed the gaIb Of civil
ian. The girl, however immediately grew
cold toward him, and refused o ful6ll her
vow. She had loved the Off ser, and not he
man. The young soldier then sued the
parents for damages for The breach Of con-
tract, and the court compelled the defend
ants TO pay bm life annuity of five hun
dred aud twenty-five forms, that being Il g
amount of pay he had resigned for the girl s
sake.

Practical ECoNeMY.-There is not only a
large margin for economy in almost every
department of the national Government but
it is in the power of the State Governments,
and Of the authorities of cities and towns, to
save not little money. Local expenditures
ought to be reduced, so that people may be
enabled better to pay the direct taxes made
necessary by the existence of war. Cover
noIs, MayOrs prosecuting officers, Judges,
members of Legislatures, and all other Off
GERS with salaries that will bear lessening,
should be made TO share in that reduction of
incomes that is now so common per force of
events, If merchants, mechanics, farmers
and other men of business and industry, and
their incomes brought down, aud yet must
pay taxes the same as ever, and even more
than ever, why should not those persons who
are in the public employ submit to the same
misfortune Salaries have been raised of
late years as the country increased in pros
perity, and now that adversely has overt4ken
us, they should be reduced. There should
be more economy practiced in the manage
ment of public business of local character.
In every State, and in every city and consid
cradle town, savings eau be made, and so
local taxation can be decreased, and money
thus gained TO the taxpayer can be employed
by him in liquidating, or helping TO liqui
date his national impos,s, which are sure to
last for some years.,

What spirituous liquors are for the Eu-
ropean, opium is in Java for the Moham-
medan and Chinaman. An European of the
lower classes may sit in his tap-room and
debase himself by his sottishness; but he
does it with an uproarious merrimenC which
would make one think he was really happy,
spite of the headaches and dtlirium tremenS
he may know are in store for him. But in
ON opium hell all is as still as the grave. A
murky lamp spreads fiickering light
through the low-roofed suffOcating room in
which are placed bale-bales, or rough
wooden tables, covered with coarse mating
and divided into compartments by means
of bamboo-reed wainscotting. The opium
smokers-men and women-lost to every
sense of modesty, throw themselves Ian
guidly on the mating, and, their head sup
ported by a greasy-cushion, prepare to in
dulge in their darling vice.
A small burning lamp is placed on the
table, so as TO be easily reached by all the
degraded wretches who seek foTgetfulness
or elysium in the fumes of opium. pipe
of bamboo-reed, with bowl at one end to
contain the opium, is generally made to do
service for two smokers. A piece ofOpium,
about the size of q pea, cost sixpense, Ia
days wages) but il is sufficient to lull by
its fumes the senses Of the smoker. These
fumes they inhale deliberately, retaining
them in the mouth as long as they can, and
then allowing them gradually to exhale
through their nostrils. After two or three
limitations, however, the opium is sconsumed
and the pipe falls from the hand of its vic,
tim.
AT first the smokers talk to each other in
whisper scarcely audible; but they sooI
become still as the dead. Their dull, sunkel
eyes gradually become bright and spark
ling-their hollow cheeks seem to assume
healthy roundness-a gleam of satisfaction
nay, of ecstacy, lighlens up their counten
ance as they revel in Imagination in thos'
sensual delights which are TO constitute thei
Mohammedan paradise. Enervated, Ian
guild, emaoiated, as they are in fact, they
seem aRd feel for the time regenerated; anC
though they lie there the shameless and i'm
passive slaNe es Of sensuality and lust thei
senses are evidently stepped in bliss
Aroused, however, from their dreams an,
delusions-the potency Of the charm ex
hausted, driven from their "hell" by it
proprietOr-see them next morning walkin
with faltering step, eyes dull as LEAD
cheeks hollow as cOfhns, to their work.
