The Belmont Guards is fine company Of
men, all hearty, stalwart boys, notonly ready
for their rations at all times, but equally,
ready for the battle field, if necessary. The
promptness with which Capt. Wallace enlis-
ted his company shows an enterprising and
highly patriotic spirit, which is worthy of
all commendation. On the first notice of
the Governors requisition for Ohio volun-
teers, Capt Wallace opened his list for vol

A gentleman who is well known here ar
rived here last night from Pensacola. He
states that there are about eight thousand
rebel troops outside Of the fort, and that
they are in q very bad condition. Their
provisions are giving out, and the warm
weather is making many id, while the gen.
eral impression, so far as he could learn,
was, that an attack on the fort would be soon
abandoned, on the pretense that the troops
would be wanted further north. i
The new Jersey Fourth Regiment arrived
to night, making over three thousand troops
that have entered the city to-day. TIE

The Tools Great Men Work With.

1t is not tools that make the work
man, but the trained skill and perse-
verance of the man himself Indeed it
is proverbial that the bad workman
never vet had a good tool. Some one
asked Opie by what wonderful process
he mixed his colors. 81 mix them with
my brains, sir was his reply. 1t is
the same with every workman who
would excel. Ferguson made marvel
GUS things-such as his wooden clock,
that actually measured the hours-by
means Of a common penknife, tool
in every ybody's hand, but then every
body is not Ferguson. A pan of wa
ter and two thermometers was the tools
by which DR.. Black discovered latent
heat; and prism, lens, and sheet
of pasteboard enabled Newton to M
fold the composition of light and the
origin of color. An eminent foreign
saea,at once called upon DR.. Wollas-
ton, and requested to be shown over
his laboratories, in which science had
been enriched by so many important
discoveries, when the Doctor took him
into a little stndy, and, pointing to An
old teatray on the table, containing
few watch-glasses, test-papers, q small
balance, and blow-pipe, said -
'There is I'LL the laboratory / have r'-
Stothard learned the art Of combining
colors by closely studying butterflies
wings: he would often say that no one
knew what he owed to these tiny iu-
sects. A burnt stick and barn door
served WiIkie in lieu Of pencil and can
vas. Bewick first practiced drawing
on the cottage walls of his native vii
lage, which he covered with his sketch
es in chalk and Benjamin West made
his first brushes out of the cats tail
Ferguson laid himself down III the
fields at night in blanket, and made
map of the heavenly bodies by means
of a thread with small beads on it,
stretched between bis eye and the
stars. Franklin first robbed the thun-
der-cloud Of its lightning by means of
a kite made with two cross-sticks and

first model of condensing steam engine

to inject the arteries previous to dissec~
ton. Clifford worked his first problem,

her brain, and with one wild shrek she
fell in agonizing death at the feet other
screaming mother. That blast, the shot,
the shrek, and scream, pierced the ear
Of the waiting father; he sprung from
his retreat, he stood at his door-one
glance revealed all; and taking delib-
crate aim, he sent bullet through the
villains heart! The other four, alarm
ed at the trumpet blast, and knowing
that the whole neighborhood would
soon be upon them, mounted their
horses and fled. The enraged father
finding them beyond his reach, turned
to where the slayer of his little daugh-
ter lay, seized his axe and cut his bru-
tal body into quarters, and threw them
out as only fit for the dogs to devour.
Such, my friends, is secession at
home, it is robbery. rapine and murder.
And it is marching upon you. You
must arm for your own defense. ]
speak not to You in fables These
things occurred not in remote coun-
try, but right over there in Tennessee.
| seem even vet to hear the shrek that
went up from that young and innocent
heart, as it took leave Of life, so wild,
so clear, so agonizing, that even angel
ic spirits might come to listen and

the support of the government and the
rescue Of your country from the reign
of terror, that has no pare]lel in the
history Of civilized man ?

Coop ADvICE.-Lorenzo Dow once
closed a discourse with the following
language, which is as singular for its
quaintness as practical in its advice: 81
want yon, my young sinners, to kiss
and get married, and devote your time
to morality and money making. Then
let your home be provided with such
necessaries and comforts as piety, pick
les, pots and kettles, brushes, brooms
and benevolence, bread, virtue, wine
and wisdom. Have these always on
hand, and happiness will be with you.
Do not drink anything Intoxicating, eat
moderately, go about business after.
breakfast, lounge little after. dinner,
chat after tea, and kiss after quarreiing.
Then all the JOY, the peace, and the
bliss this earth can afford, shall be yours
until the grave closes over YOU, and
your spirits are borne 70 q brighter and
happier world" g.
