Great Young Men.

It baving been objected to Gen. Mcclellan
and other young officers Of the army that they
are too young TO have wisdom that comes Of ex-
perience, q cotemporary presents q catalogue of
''great young men," which Of itself overturns
the theory that age is an indispensable requisite
to success in great undertakings. The catalogue
it will pay to run through: "Don John of Aus.
tfia won at 25 the greatest battle Of modern
times; had it not been for the jealousy of Phil
ip, the next year, he would have been Emperor
of Mauritania. CASTOR de Folk was only %
when he stood victor on the plains Of Ravenns.
Every one remembers Conde and Rocoroy at
the same age. Gustayus Adolphus died at S8.
Look at his captains that wonderful duke of
Welmar, only SO when he died. Rainer HIMSELF
after all his miracles, died at As. Cortez was
little more than 80 when he gazed on the golden
cupoIa Of Mexico. When Maurice, of Saxony,
died at 80, all Europe acknowledged the loss Of
one Of the greatest captains and profoundest
statesmen Of the age. Then there are Wolf,
Wellington, Nelson, Give and Napoleon. But
these are warriors, and perhaps you may think
there are greater things than war. I do. /

But take the most illustrious achievements of

John de Mediei was cardinal at 20, and CAL

Our DUTIES IN THE WAR.-It is hard to
imagine any thing, except the utter wreck of
our nationality, worse than a civil war in
America; any thing more wasteful to prop.
erty, life, industry, humanity and religion.
But when war is forced upon peaceful and
industrious people in defense Of its public
life, we must not forget that this, like every
other misfortune, is full of compensstions.
Even the loss Of property is not without
great counterbalances and the treasure ex-
pended in defense of the National Constitu-
ton is expended virtually for the security of
the Government which, in its liberty and
order, gives industry its motive and property
its security. 1t must be remembered, more
over, that money spent in such way as to
defend national institutions and to strengthen
national character, completes and perfects
the social mechanism that produces, distri-
butes and utilizes wealth. We do not wish
to say any thing to favor public prodigality,
or tempt our people to borrow money, yet we
must consider that national loans are not the
only form Of public debit but $lOO, 100000
sent out of the country for liquors that fever
the blood, or for laces and silks that endanger
our Republican simplicity, may impoverish
us far more as q nation than the same amount
| of money spent at home among ourselves in
arming and equipping the defenders Of our
liberties aRd our laws. -.-s

Useful InventiOns-A New Army Tent.

One of the most promising fruits of stimu-
lated American ingenuity since the outbreak
of the war, is the new army tent, sample
of which may be seen at the office of the
United States Paymaster, at No. 70 White.
street. This is the invention of Mr. Henry
Garbanati, of this city, manufacturer Of
Photographic materials. The improvement
consists in the addition of adjustable canvas
hunks to an ordinary tent, which by day can
be made to serve as settees, and by night as
comfortable cots or stretchers. The tent
frame consists of five pieces-a ridge pole,
and two pieces at each end supporting each
other at an acute angle, like an inverted v.
The hunks are merely canvas stretched on
light wooden frames, which are supported by
loops in lashings from the frame, and can be
detached if required, for use as hospital
stretchers after an engagement. Ifthe whole
tent space is required by day, the two tiers
of bunks can be turned back against the tent
cover, by slipping the sliding ring to which
the lashings Sre attached; or, if the occu.
pants wish to use the lower bunk as a settee
or lounge, the upper one only can be turned
back, and the settee is already made.
The great merit of this ingenious centriv-
ance is the fact that it gives our soldiers, at
little or no extra cost to Government, as dry
and comfortable bed as they would have al
home, and the Hheumatisms camp fevers
neuralgia, chills, and all the hideous train OF
maladies which spring from the practice OF
sleeping on wet earth are in great part OBJ.
waited. The efficiency Of our army would
be, of course, greatly increased in this re-
spect, and the discomforts of camp life very
much reduced. By the simple plan of max
ing the lower hunks double, hinging the
frames at the inner corners beds for foul
men could be spread as easily as two are
accommodated by the present plan, and the
full complement of six soldiers would be pro
vided for in each tent. Mr.. Garbanati hal
an octagon.shaped tent which shelters six
teen men, the cost Of which is only $50.

FLoRIDA.-The public is beginning to look
for news from Florida, whittier, many per-
sons believe, Commodore Dupont has sailed
to prosecute The objects of the great expedi-
ton. 1t is believed that we may hope for
news from him within few days.
The public mind seems to have settled
upon Fernandiua as the next place from
which we shall hear, and many circumstan-
ces give probability to this belief. Fernan-
dina is the eastern terminus of the Florida
Railroad! Its possession will enable US to
cut off the entire Florida peninsula from the
rebels. Below the railroad line lies a rich
cotton regr and farther inland are found
those great supplies of live oak which the
United States Government uses for its navy.
The cotton lands of East Florida are all
as we are informed by gentleman who re-
sided there till March last---hiEh lands, per-
fectly healthful, fertile, and such lands as can
be cultivated with perfect safety by white
labor. The live oak belongs to the Govern
ment, and it will need supplies of it for the
navy-yards of the North.
The possession of the Florida Railroad
will give US most valuable and time saving
communication with the Gulf of Mexico
by which the route to Fort Pickens and
New Orleans win be shortened by several
days.

A Coon JOKE ON GENERAL PRENTIss.-
While here on Sunday morning, General
PIentiss entered a German barber.shop to
get shaved. The General, of oourse, had his
nmilitsry" on, as usual. The barber, not
being well posted in the language of shoul-
der straps, was at loss to know the Gen.
erals rank. BE therefore very innocently
asked him "What company he Belonged tor
The General very courteOusly replied that
he "didn't belong to any company" The
barber then asked him what regiment, think
ing il he wasn't Captain or Lieutenant he
General answered that he did not belong to
any regiment, but three or four regiments
belonged to him. The barber concluded not
to cateehise the General further, and had no
more to- say; but whether he learned the
Generals rank or not, after all, is doubtful

ONE EXAMPLE FROM MANY.-The New
York Commercial Advertiser relates the fol-
lowing example of the dealing of England
with a neutral ship which bore a person
whom England wished to secure. Like
scores of other examples which that power
can be referred to in her own history, it is a
case which is a sufficiently good answer to
any complaint on her part, but we should
be sorry to see it regarded as precedent;
A similar proceeding on the part of an
English vessel of war will probably be within
the recollection of some of our readers. We
refer to the boarding of the ship Hercules, of
Salem, Mass, Captain Edward West, in Sar-
dinian port some fifty years ago, aud forcibIy
taking from on board Lucien Bonaparte,
then on his way to the United States. The
Hercules put into port on account of the sick
ness of Lucien Bonaparte, and at his urgent
request. An English man. of-war was in
port, got wind of the passenger on board, and
sent q boatswain with an armed crew, who
took Lucen away by force, carried him on
board the man of.war, and he was taken a
prisoner to England.

Some of the circumstances attending the
first observance of day of public thanks
giving on these shores, (says the Boston
TranScripD have their parallel at the pres.
ent time. The feast of thanksgiving cele-
brated in Massachusetts in 1923, when the
pilgrims "met together and thanked God
with all their hearts for the good world and
the good things in it." Immediately sue
ceeded day passed in fasting and prayer on
account of the scarcity of food, the failure of
the crops and the loss of the vessel bringing
them supplies. Between the appointment
of the fast and its observance the gloom
which prevailed was dispelled, and Cover.
nor Bradford ordered feast Of thanksgiv-
ing. During the past ten months our peo-
pie have observed two national and one
State fast; and since Governor Andrew
wrote his beautiful and characteristic proc
lamation, events have trauspired which en-
able us, like the pioneer colonists, to keep
thanksgiving for our mercies, shining forth
among our adversities, and Frightening them
with the presence of numerous blessings.

SALT FOR THE THRoAT.-In these days
when diseases of the throat are so univer-
sally prevalent, and so many cases fatal,
the use of common salt is recommended as
an effectual remedy. A sufferer says: We
commenced by using it three times day
morning, noon, and night. We dissolved q
large tablespoonful of pure table salt in
about half Of small tumbler full of cold
water. With this we gargled the throat
most thoroughly just before meal time. The
result has been that during the entire win
ter we were not only free from the usual
coughs and colds to which, so far as our
memory extends, we have always been sub
ject, but the dry, hacking-cough has en-
tirely disappeared. We attribute the salts
factory results entirely to the salt gargle

PATENT. APPLIED FoR-A correspondent
requests us to communicate to the Govern
ment a'projeet which he has devised for the
the negroes, found at Beaufort or captured on
the adjacent Islands, and form them in a
body in front of the invading army as it
marches inland. AS each negro is worth
$500 OF more, even at present quotations, the
Carolinians would not wish to destroy their
property by shooting them, and would there
fore retire before this living rampant, 50 that
the Federal troops could advance to any
desirable point. And so when erecting forti-
fications by those .eolored lsborers, they
would be exempt from attack, since that
would be direct destruction of property

A Railway Across the English Cbanne


A railway across the English Channel has
long been the darling project Of our great
engineering theorists, though people have
hithelto looked upon it as little more feasible
than building castles in the air. The French
APPEAR to have entertained very positive
views as to the possibility of the scheme, for
several Partisan engineers have published
designs showing the facility with which it
could be carried out. All the schemes, how
ever, that have hitherto been broached, are
apparently far less practicable than that just
brought forth By Mr.. James Chalmers, who
proposes to connect the two empires by O
tube 1eposing on the bed Of the English
Channel, from the South Foreland to near
Calais, the soundings along the line ranging
from seven to twenty-nine fathoms. Easy
gradients on either side are to lead
down to the level, SO that passengers
and freight may proceed from London
to Paris and Uice versa without change of car
Iiage. The tube is to be thirty feet in diam
eteF ard its natural buoyancy is to be coun
teracted by iron boxes attached to and sur
rounding it at intervals of eighty feet, aud
filed with rough, heavy stones. There will
be three ventilators, one in mid channel and
one about mile from either shore, the cen.
tral ventilator being erected in twenty eight
fathoms water, and weighing over 100000
tuns. Mr.. Chalmers gives very elaborate
estimate of the probable cost of the work,
the grand total being &l2,OOO,OOO. He also
anticipates that the annual working ex
penses will be fs5 600, and the gross revenue
| fl 3OO,C0O leaving net return of El2l5,-
600. To be able to make a journey to France
in half an hour, and without suffering from
the truly undignifed malady OF sea sickness,
| would be a contamination most devoutly to
! be wished, though the notion of travelling
| for that length of time at depth of more
! than one hundred feet below the sea would
not be calculated to set the minds of passen-
! geIs at rest.

A Wife Wanted.-A Missionary's home
has been rent by the death of beloved

and they will not make help-meet for
man. They will not suit the nature of the
soul, nor supply its needs, nor satisfy its
desires, nor run parallel with the never-fll-
ing duration. Therefore, it being not good
for man to be alone, God created woman to
be help-meet for him. See Genesis ii, 49,
Prov. xviii, %. The applicantmust possess
a healthy body, practical piety, domestic
habits, q competency, and, if possible, o
musical talent. Address MISSIONARY"
at this Office. .-.----.---
If any healthy, pious, domestic woman
with comfortable fortune, but no ear for
music, has longing for this connection, it
seems that she need not be deferred by the
wants of the last qualification, as that will
not be insisted upon, although possible
she should add the throat of warbler, to
the sum of the other attractions. We sup
pose that it must be the just sense of "the
vanity Of this world" which induces the adj
yertiser to be so easily satisfied in a part
ner for life. Good health, piety, domestic
habits, and q competency, it seems, are al
that would be indispensable to his grauhca-
ton, although musical talent, thrown in
would be highly, appreciated. he is as cas-
lily contented as the child that summed up
her simple wants IN the desire for yictuals
and raiment and pretty good OlOthes."i .
