BEAUFORT, November 10.--I rode to Beau.
fort Yesterday. Two gun. boats were aground
near Fort Lyttleton, two miles below Beau
fort, and one was lying at apchor short
distance below. The negroes were Hooking
into and out of the town, laden with prog.
Those whom spoke to answered me with
civility. / am convinced that they are led
by the desire of obtaining without cost those
articles commonly so dear to them. They
refused to enter Wilcox's store while he was
in town. A young man, whose perceptions
of truth were not blinded by fear, as he
turned and rode back with me, told me that
the first boat came ashore with white flag,
and that the negroes ran 10 the wharf to see
the Yankees. Up to the very town l saw
negroes who had been intrusted with saving
their masters property, while the latter
moved his family, faithfully executing their
commissions.
Under the circumstances, do not con-
slider the state of things so bad. What can
we expect when planters leave entirely to
themselves a people who have never been
accustomed to perform the smallest task
without direction2
The Yankees, l suspect, are only feeling
their way up the streams, and will not land
. in any place, except at the point where they
intend to intrench themselves (perhapl

easily enable the planters to bring up theil
negroes.
These conclusions are drawn from what
saw yesterday. The whole aspect of affair

WAR AND WEDD1NGs.-The Chicago Tti-
June gives the following account of the
effect produced by a premium on married
volunteers offered by the late Legislature in
Wisconsin:
Mars and Hymen seem to have close
partnership in our sister State of Wisconsin.
The Legislature passed law that every vol
unteer in service, who should leave a wife
behind him, would be entitled to a bounty
of $5 per month to her paid. This laid
upon the boys who were unmarried the rule
that was, as all the world knows, applied to
the process of cooking grifins-"6rst catch
your griffin" The bounty was offered, but
first-get your wife. The number of hasty
marriages in the Badger State for the past
six months has been alarming. Jeanott has
espoused Jeanette at short notice and often
on brief acquaintance. To this the State
does not object, but it now appears that the
State authorities have been extensively i'm
posed on by young men in the service repre-
sentipg themselves as married men, and
drawing the State bounty, which is assigned
by law only to the latter. The State author
tiles are taking measures to prevent any
such imposition in the future, as we'll as to
ferret out those heretofore perpetrated.

The Children of the Cities.


With the advanced ideas in regard to the
sbility of giving instruction to idiots, came
the hope that even the Children Of the City
could be brought under the benign influence
of enlightened, sympathetic humanity.
AS long ago as 1882, DR.. Witcheru, of
Hamburg, young theological student, pro-
pesed 10 establish House of Rescue for the
more degraded among the Children of the
City. The private labors of himself and
friends were aided by a legacy of $4,000,
and small place at Horn, four miles from
the city of Hamburg, was purchased in No.
vember, 1888, and DR.. Witchern, with his
mother, and three of the worst boys he could
find in Hamburg took up their residence in
their new House of Rescue.
In the course of few months they were
joined by twelve more boys, and afterward
by many others. In 1884 DR.. Witchern had
erected another building near the first, and,
after that, workshops; and other houses, in
which reside the boys and the tutors who
have the care of the boys, have been erected
from time to time, until the Rahe Hauss
demesne at Horn has extended into hamlet,
and the thirty. Eve acres of ground are now
beautiful with lawn and lake, plants, forest
and fruit-trees, presenting to view all the
varied beauties of well-kept landscape
garden.
The Improvement in the condition ant
character of the children is fully as great a.
in their home and Horn is the pride anG
hope of Hamburg and its people.
The Orphan House, of George Miller, a
Bristol, England, and the Five Points Hous,
of Industry, in New York, projected by Mr.
Pease, and now under the care of Mr.. Bar
low, are too well known to demand any
special mention. But the efforts that have
been made by the people of Cincinnati, for
the care of our own CHILDREN OF THE CITY,
are of sufficient interest to deserve special
mention, which we hope to do in the course
of a few days

Mr.. Rowland Cromelien, of New York, has
patented a new system of rail, which he
thinks is destined to revolutionize the whole
railway system; and, if it accomplishes half
what he claims, would certainly do so. The
inventor claims that life, while travelling on
it, will be as safe as is one in his own dwell
ing; that there is no possibility of accidents
by running off the track or of the rails
spreading; dispenses with axles and with
car wheels, except the locomotive driving
wheel; heavy elliptic springs and heavy
grades and tunneling Of mountains nearly
obviated the cost of construction less and
speed increased; while the destructiveness OF
friction is nearly overcome; profits to stock
and bondholders, in the shape of dividends,
would be an inducement to capitalists who
invest in such works, for the reason there are
no losses. The great achievement in this
work is the central rail-track upon which the
wheel cams, the wheels being balanced by
runners under the cars, flying over stationary
revolving rollers.

COLONEL JAMES S. JACKsoN.-This gallant

guns, terrible execution is done upon the

There is trouble among the printers in
Washington City. They claim that they
shall not be compelled to labor during the
winter season for longer period than other
mechanics, namely, from sunrise to sunset.
This rule prevails In all the Government de-
partments of labor, in the navy yard, the
arsenal, and on the extension of the public
buildings. The existing rule has been to
demand ten hours labor. The Government
Cfice, in which greater part of the city
printers are employed, is willing to cOncede
the right, but other employers object, and
are bringing on compOsitors from BAlti
more. In many Of the offices the workmen
have suspended operations, and are now on

WHAT LITTLE GIRL HAS DoNE.-On the
cars between Dunkirk and Buffalo, N. Y,
may be seen daily pretty, delicate looking
girl, perhaps twelve or fourteen years old,
who goes from car to car, selling some little
books of a religious nature, published by the
American Tract Society. She first distrib-
utes through the car printed Endorsement
from the Superintendents of the various rail-
roads which she travels oD, to the effect that
she supports herself and sick mother, and is
worthy of patronage. After being thus in
troduced, she asks you TO purchase one of
her little books, price ten cents, and seldom
does her request, made in a sweet, modest
tone, accompanied by a winning smile, meet
with a refusal. During her leisure hours,
since the war began, oar heroine has made
FIVE hundred and eighty pin. cushions and
knit twenty-five pairs of woolen socks, all
of which she has distributed herself to Ohio
soldiers in Western Virginia. Her days
work, ordinarily, has been TO sell on two
trains a day; but her mother has, at her
earnest request, allowed her to sell on three
trains day, and the proceeds of her sales
on the third train are devoted to the soldiers
Thus does this noble little girl strive to
soften the hardships of the defenders of her
beloved country. 1t requires no strength OF
the Imagination to believe that to the rough
soldiers, far away from home and friends
this lovely girl appears like an angel of light
as she moves among them with her gifts.

How the British Press Relish the Arrest
of nInaOn and stfdetI

How the British Press Relish the Arrest
of Mason and SltdeIl.
Not a little anxiety is felt to know how
the British press will regard the arrest of
Nessrs. Mason and Slidell, while on one Of
the Qdeen's vessels. In the absence of the
London papers, we publish to day two arti-
cles from the Toronto Leader and Globe,
which we think foreshadow, to great ex
tent, the spirit in which the arrest will be
received in England.
The Leader, which has never yet lost an
opportunity to misrepresent and belle the
national cause, denounces the arrest as 'the
most offensive outrage which Brother Jona-
than has dared to perpetrste upon the Brit
ish flag" If the Americans can make an
arrest in this manner with impunity, accord
ing TO the Leader, they can drag refugees
from the soil of Canada as well. 1.-THE mean
est nation in Ohristendom," it affirms "could
not honorabIy submit to such an outrage"
and the Indignation of the Leader is only ap-
peased by the assumption that Lord Lyons
will at once demand from the National Gov
ernment disavowal of the act of their Com
modore, and the release of Messrs. Mason and
Slidell.
The Globe, which has always exhibited 6
friendly feeling toward the Union, denouncei
the act but little less energetically. 1t thinks
that Nessrs Mason and Slidell might mucl
better have been allowed to 60 on their way
and that the Government would best exhibi
consciousness of its power and the justice
ofits cause by releasing them and sending
them to Europe. But read the articles; they
are interesting.

SIR: Your letter of the 9th instant has been
received. Iu it you tender your resignation as
Rigadier General of the Provisional Army. It
is due to self respect that I should remark on
the impropriety Of your using this Department
as the channel for conveying disrespec fdl and
insulting comments on the action Of the Com.
mander in-chief of the Army and the Chief
Magistrate Of the Confederaoy. His sole of.
fense, according TO the statements Of your let
ter, consists in not seleciiog you to be a Major
General, for there is no question of promotion
involved in the appointment of general officers.
The law expressly vests in him the power TO
choose officers to command brigades and diVis-
ions; and it is no disparagement TO any officer,
whatever may have been his services, that the
President prefers another as a division com
mander. Your statement, therefore, that you
have been overslaugbed, and that you have
thus been subjected Ito the insults and indigni-
ties" of the Executive, is based on q misappre-
hension OF his duties and your rights, accord
ing to the laws which govern the amy. Your
communication has been submitted to the Pres
ident, and, by bis direction, your resignation
is accepted. I have the honor to be, your Obe-

Indications in Kentucky, we think, point
to an advance, which possibly may be made
before cold December, with his wintry breath,
is upon us. We see no reason why our
troops should not winter in Tennessee. The
Union men in that State, of which there are
not a few, would receive our soldiers with
open arms, and welcome them gladly on the
prolific soil of their native State. They have
suffered much through their adherence to
the Union, and will suffer more. because of
their late acts in destroying railroad bridges.
The tardness of our Government in relieving
them from their precsrious position and Civ
ing them assistance has, we doubt not, COM
PEELED many to unite their fates with the
Southern Confederacy who would, under
other circumstances, have remained true and
loyal to the stars and stripes.
The necessity Of an advance does not re-
quite us to rehearse the outrsges committed
upon the East Tennesseeans; the result of
the delay, with reproving and frowning
shape, stands there, truly, monument to
their patriotism and devotion to the Union.
Humanity demands their immediate relief,
and echoes it far and wide; consistency de.
mands it, and every virtue within the pale
of civilization adds to the cry, and yet our
Government, with the provincial slowness o
the retired Scott, and not unlike "Micawber, "
seems to be waiting "for some thing to turn
up" If the time has arrived we hope the
movement will be speedily carried into exc.
cution, and, before the New Year shall have
recorded its advent on the book of Time
the neglected yet devoted patriots may b.
| free from Southern outrages.
