The Christian Soldier.

Gen. Anderson, the hero of Sum-
ter, cndeared himself to the hearts
of Christians not only by his noble
defence of the national flag, but by
the dovout and revercnt spirit man
ifestcd in his public acknowledge
mcnts of his Indebtedness to the
divine protection in his trying
hour. The following extract from
his reply to the Common Council
of Philadelphia, who recently pre-
sentel him an elegant sword, indi-
cate that he knows "thc Rock of
his strength"
Referring to his course III
Charleston harbor, he said, 81 had
no one with me with whom to ad-
wise. The persons with whom L
was associated were all new to me.
I did not know whether l could
consult safely with them. l was
left to seek counsel only from that
source from which as Christian
| had always sought advice. lean

with which receive this tcstimo-
nial. In the thankfulncss of my
heart pray to God that, if ever [
have occasion to rse it, it shall be
used on the side of justice, truth,
and religion. The war in which
our country is engaged is, | believe
in my heart, a holy and just war.
Though the hour is dark, | have
no doubt, no fears of the final re-
suit. l believe that our nation has
sinned. l believe that we have, i'll
the greatness to which we have
attained within a few years, for
gotten our duty to our God and
our government. We are under
one of the best governments the
world ever saw. We did not feel
itspower. We were placed by God
high above the nations of the
earth, and we gave credit to our
selves, rather than to Him, for the
position we had assumed"

THE BAREFoOTED PRINTER BOY

The "Pittsburg Morning Ariel"
gives the following story Of a dis
tinguished citizen of Pennsylvania
Some thirty years ago a barefooted d
boy foated down the Susquehanna
OH a humble raft, and arrived at
Harrisburg. lie came from the
North, and belonged to a large
family; all his worldly goods were
tied up in a little pocket handker-
chief. He sought and obtained
employment in q printing Office as
an apprentice. From an apprentice
to a journeyman, from a journey
man to reporter, from a reporter
to all editor, the printer boy worked
his way, against obstacles which
the suffering poor only know. The
perseverance with which he fol-
lowed IN Franllin's footsteps be-
gan to realize for him the fruits of
toll and privation. The young as,
pirant became printer to the State,
and by frugal management was
soon enabled to accomplish the OBJ
ject nearest his heart-the estab-
lishment of his mother in a home
above want, and in possession Of
every comfort she could desire.
His brothers were his next care
and, like Napoleon, he had a strong
arm with which to aid them-an
indomitable perseverance that no.
thing could long successfully OBJ
struct. In a few years they, too,
with his sisters, were Independent
in the world the once barefooted
printer boy was in possession OF
aMuence, surrounded by q young
and affectionate family. He was
q friend of the friendless, a patron
of merit, apd an encourager of in
dustry. He rose in honor and of,
flee, until the barefooted printer
boy who entered a printing office
in Harrisburg, hungry and weary,
laid down his bundle on pile ol
wet paper, and asked to become q
printers apprentice, was elected g
United States Senator. This man
is SIMON CAMERON, the present Sec
retary of War.

If by the light of history we
compare the principle which i'm
peIs to action the beIligcrents in
this conflict, the result indicates
clearly the ultimate triumph OF our
arms, though the war should be
more protracted and bloody than
any which the continent has known.
That this hoped for result may DO
realized, shall be my ceaseless care,
bringing to its accomplishment all
the powers which have been or may
be conferred upon me.-Cin. Times,

Socrates.

This, man, a philosopher and
statuary, was born in Athens, 210,
b. 9. lie learned his art of his
father, but devoted most of his life
to the study and teaching of phi
losophy. 1t is said that the three
Graces standing at the entrance Of
the Acropolis at Athens, were his
work. His mind was well disci-
plined by study; his body by gym
nastic exercises. Three times he
served in the army Of his city; at
Patidaca, at Silium, and at Am
phipolis; always with distinguished
bravery. The hardships to which
he Injured himself, enabled him to
endure much. At the age of sixty
three he was made president, an
office that no one could hold twice,
and but for one day; yet in that
time he had an opportunity to dis
play the discrimination which he
possessed, and his unwavering ad-
herence to the principles of justice.
In early life he listened some
what to the teachings of the Soph-
lists, but soon withdrew himself
from them, and in accordance with
the command, "Know thyself,''
written over the door at the tem-
pie at Delphi, began the study of
his own nature. lie soon became
wholly devoted to this work and
that of imparting the results Of his
labors to others. =.
He was exceedingly frugalin his
mode of life; indeed was obliged
to be, as he would accept no aid
from his friends. Temperate iii all
things and never unjust, his life
accorded with his teachings. He
was accustomed to 60 about in his
bare feet, dressed in ,he coarsest
garments, seeking whom he might
instruct.
He usually impaired his knowl-
edge in free conversations, whence
the method Of questions and an
swers is called the Socratic. A
man of infinite humor and great
sarcasm, he loved to puzzle those
who were inclined to be cgotisti-
cal, but towards the humble, earn
estly seeking knowledge, he was
ever kind and considerate.
Plato describes his occasional
lengthy discourses as very elo-
quent. He seems to have believed
in one God, superior to all others;
in the Immortality Of the soul, and
the intimate connection of religion
and virtue. He reduced virtue to
two heads, temperance and justice:
the former including all duties to
oneself, the latter to others. Both
these were terms Of very extensive
significance.

The Hcra'ds Baltimore despatch says Gen
DIX received news yesterday that the desinte-
/ grafton Of the rebel forces in the county Of
North Hamp.ca, Virginia, was complete.
The commander of the rebel force Col.
Smith, was attempting to escape with seven
OF b is officers from the lower extremity at
North HAMPTON Co., but by the orders Of
Gen. Dix, fig officer Gollsborough had
put the whole coast under close watch, SO
that Their escape is very likely to be inter
ruptcd
The Times Washington dispatch says such
information has been received by the mill
tary authorities in Washington as renders it
probable that an attack may soon be made
upon the national lines by the rebels. The
quarrel between the rebel leaders as to the
proper manner 81 conducting the war is be-
lieved to have ended in the triumph Of
Beauregard who represents an offensive war
party. 1t is understood that he actually
resigned but was induced to withdraw his
resignation when his policy was adopted by
