rebels were, a few days since, in the southern

FIndins work for the UncmpIoyed.

There is a great deal said Just now about
finding work for the unemployed, and we
see that q CON mittee of unemployed persons
has called upon the Mayor of New York to
find them public work. There is much pro-
priety in finding employment or support for
the wives and daughters of those who are
fighting the battles Of our country, but there
is none at all in the people taxing themselves
to find employment for men, when the Gov
ernment Is Offering good wages and support
to every man who will enter the army. The
effort it is making to sustain the institutions
Of the country and maintain its integrity is
endangered for the want of such aid. 1t
would be bad policy In city at this time to
hold out inducements for able-bodied men TO
stay at home by finding them public employ
ment at the expense of the citizens, when
by doing 80 they keep the General Govern
ment, who wants their services, and offers
good pay for it, from getting the assistance
it requires. One patriotic gentleman in
Boston, who was largely engaged in build
ing, suddenly stopped all work upon his
houses as he said the Government required
men to sustain it, and he did not intend to
be a competitor against the Government
Besides, he thought the Government would
need the money he was expending, and it
was better to pay it to secure good Govern
ment than it was to extend or beautify city
which might have TO submit to a despotism.
There is no need of men asking the city to
find them something to do, when the Gov
ernment is soliciting them to come and take
employment. If their patriotism is so small
that they are not willing to help protect the
Government at good wages their claim upon
| public assistance is but small indeed.

TIE BoAsTING AND BRAG OF THE WAR
CoBRKsPoNDENTs.-Th New York Advertiser
happily hits of, in the following paragraphs,
the boasting of the army correspondents:
THO Anacondas Riled.-Two anacondas of
formidable size and strength have been killed
in this country during the season, = One was
said to be ''seized and possessed" by Lieuten-
ant. General Scott, upon which portion Of
this city Spread" itself for some weeks previ-
ons to the Bull Run engagement. The mon
ster was expected to work wonders at that
place. 1t was announced that the rebels had
been caught within its coils, and a speedy
death was the most merciful dispensation
awaiting them. But that anaconda met its
end on the 2lst of July, after inhicting more
damage upon its keepers than the enemy.
The West was recently visited by another
monster of the same kind, only of somewhat
smaller dimensions. General Fremont 80
we were assured, was to get Price, McCul-
loch, Thompson & Co. ''within his anaconda
grasp" when wo betide them! Unfortunately
the second attempt at hugging the foe to
suffocation and death has proved quite as
great failure as the first, and the huge SER
pent lies to-day at Lexington as dead as a
maggot. The only persons he succeeded in
smotheripg were Colonel Mulligau and his
followers, who certainly deserved very diff
feTent fate. We submit that these ugly rep
tiles are about played out and that the gen.
eral reader will hear no more about terrible
anaconda grasps" and "serpentine coils" until
Christmas, and after that nothing at all.

AT recent Sabbath School Convention at
Binghampton, a delegate rose and said, "Two
things troubled him. One was his Sunday
School-the other the condition of his coun-
try" The leader of the meeting requested
the Convention to keep the Sabbath School
work before their minds, and leave the cOun-
try for future time, and asked brother to
offer prayer. The brother arose, prayed
awhile for the interests of the Sabbath
Schools, but seemed troubled, and at last
broke out, saying, 10, God we must pray
for our country. 1t is inperil. Without our
Constitution to shelter us, Sabbath Schools
can not prosper. Ignorance, slavery, treason
and crime will come in like wave. O.,
God save our country; bless our chief msgis-
trate and all in authority, for Ohrist's sake,
amen." The tones of the petitioner, the evil
dent outburst of feeling that would not
down, thrilled the Convention; and from
that time on the feeling rose until it culmi-
mated in the adoption of series OF strong
patriotic resolutions.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT AT CoHAssET.-A mel
ancholy accident occurred at Black Rock,
Cohasset, about one o'clock yesterday after
noon. 1t appears that party of gentlemen
from Manchester, N. H., consisting of Messrs.
A. G. Baker, 'Paymaster and Clerk of the
Manchester Print Works, G. @. Barr, and j.
L. Kennedy, were on the point of embarking
on cunning excursion, and were launching
their boat on high sea, when Mr.. Baker,
who had double-barrel gun, one barrel Of
which had been discharged, attempted to
take it from the boat. In doing so he drew
his gun toward him, when the hammer OF
the loaded barrel caught upon the thwart,
and, falling, discharged the piece. The con-
tents passed across the cords and muscles OF
the forearm near the wrist, and into the
feshy part of the arm above the elbow, de-
stroying the muscular action of the limb
Medical assistance was at once obtained, and
the wound dressed by DIR. Stevenson, oi
bingham. Fortunately, the party reached
the last cars for Boston, and the injured man
was conveyed to the Cornhill Hotel, in Corn
hill.court, where he received every attention
from Mr.. Webb, the proprietor. DR.. Sted-
man was summoned, and, assisted by Dr.
Fred. Brown, attended to the sufferings Of
the injured man, who, at the latest accounts
was out of danger.

FROM RICHMOND, VIA PARIs.-We are in
debted to Frenchman, who writes a let ter
from Richmond to the last number of the
Paris Revue Contemporaries, for two valuable
pieces of information. at is very curious
and very sad" he writes, ito learn that
Lincoln and Davis, the two Presidents, are
very closely related, haUing mqrrisd sistersg'
This relationship, he goes on to state, had
inspired hopes of an arrangement of the
troubles between the two sections-but all
in vain and such, he concludes, are the hor-
rors of civil war.
The next piece of information is with re-
spect TO the number Of slain at Manassas.
He tells the European public that the said
battle was not to be sneezed at, as he had
been informed by the officer charged with
the duty Of attending to the burial of the
bodies left on the field that "they had al
ready inferred seven thousand three hun
dred, and were then far from having finished
their task p These would be interesting
facts-if true.

CoTToN, TOBACCO AND THE BIocKADE-
1He Present Supply Of Cotton in England and
Afoat-Not a single bale of American cot
ton (says the Cotton Supply Reporter is now
known to be at sea, and those engaged in the
cotton trade must not expect their stock of
it to be repleHished during the blockade of
the Southern ports. After calculating the
total stock of cotton in the port of Liverpool
on the 23d of August last, and adding there
to the probable further receipts to the 9th of
December next, our cotemporary estimates
that the stock in Liverpool on the last mem
toned date will be about five hundred and
forty. nine thousand bales, which, at thesup-
posed rate of consumption, would keep the
mills going for about eleven weeks beyond
Christmas. AS it is difficult to see how, with
the continuance of the American blockade,
demand can be much longer prevented from
exceeding the supply, the position is very
alarming, as in the manufacturing districts
the system of short time must be generally
introduced, and the privation and suffering
which this system causes are too we'll known
to need recapitulation.

Especial to the New York Evening Post.I
WASHINGTON, September 30.-0ur troops
across the Potomac are in fine spirits to-day.
General Mcclellan is evidently taking such
precautions as to insure the success of any
future movements that he may make. '
The prominent positions at Munson's Hill,
Falls Church and Upton's Hill, which were
so suddenly evacuated by the enemy, have
been strengthened by large bodies Of Federal
troops, and our men ere now engaged in
throwing up strong field. works. The ad-
vance Of our Amy Is slow and cautious.
1t is believed here that the rebel forces are
concentrated between Acquia Greek and
Manassas Junction, with their right wing on
the Potomac. ....... -.....
A messenger who has Just arrived here
from the Chain Bridge brings the report that
the enemy are in strong force at Leesburg,
and that their entire army has been divided;
one division having taken position above
Washington, and the other below the city.
This statement is hardly credible, but il is
certain important events are near at hand.
The Federal gun boat Yankee yesterday
reconnoitered their batteries at Freestone
Point, on the Potomac, and found them de-
serted.
The President has given assurances that
no drafting for the army shall be resorted to
in the West until all the Eastern States have
furnished their full quota of the five hun
dred thousand men.
A citizen of Charleston and his son have
arrived here DiG Nashville, bringing import
ant news. They were robbed of all theiI
specie in Tennessee. Before they left South
Carolina the people were panic stricken over
| the news of the rebel defeat at Hatteras Inlet
They declare that the number of the enemy's
troops has been greatly exaggerated.

In gallery in Paris hangs q famous pic
ture by Murillo, of an old Spanish monk
seated at his desk. He had begun the chron-
icle of his life. Death had summoned him
before the work was done; but he had
sought and obtained leave to return to earth
and finish it. You see in the monks pale
face more than natural energy. Those
sunken eyes had looked beyond the vail,
and CLEAN with the visions Of eternity. The
soul within has communed with the unseen
world, and beheld face to face Him who is
invisible.n And the solemn task is renewed
with the earnestness of one who has passed
the fading scenes of time, and is absorbed
in the realities beyond. So let the record OF
your life be written as in the light of eternity.
which shall soon surround you, when you
stand before your Judge. -e.r .

LEXINGTON is the Capital of Lafayette
County, Mo-, one hundred and twenty miles
west Of Jefferson City, three hundred and
fifty miles west of st. Louis, and is a town
of the first importance in Western Missouri.
1t has population of more than FIVE thou
sand souls, is on the direct read to Santa Fe
by overland route, and is the seat of large
trade. Situated on the right bank of the
Missouri, it commands that river, and the
rebels holding it are able to cut off all our
communication by that channel with West
ern Missouri and with Kansas. Thus, as a
strategical point, its loss is a serious one to
the Federal cause, and its gain one of no
small value to the Secessionists. Its posses
sion practically settles the question for that
part of Missouri, for there are more Seces-
sionists in that section of the State than in
any other, and to have gained Lexington
will add very much to their strength. Its
loss also puts Kansas in very critical con-
dition.

GRAIN ON THE CANAL.-It is a singular
fact, perhaps not known to all our readers,
that since the first IS day Of May on which day

stream of grain, mostly wheat and corn,
averaging one thousand bushels an hour, day
and night; and this stream has poured out
at Tldewater thirty. three millions of bushels
up to the 7tb of September This includes
the -four, calculated at five bushels TO the

baked into bread, will feed three hundred
thousand soldiers for seven years, giving

BAYABD, of Wilksss Spirit, relates tina
Eaton Stone, the bareback rider, was once
invested by a tribe of savage Indians, some
where in the Great Plains. The redskins
became aDnoyingly familiar, and Eaton be-
gan to "leckon he was in a tight place"
when an idea struck him-one always does
strike Yankee-and he improved it. Hav-
ing toerably well trained horse and a
loose lariat, he picketed the quadruped to a
stake, put him in circulation, jumped on his
back and began to do circus; now standing,
now lying, now on his head, and so astoa-
ishing the gentle savages that they forgot
their purpose of roasting him; but when he
vaulted down and turned half dozen SOM
ersets, the red devils were completely cap
tured--he might have offered them whisky,
and not a man would have dared to touch
it. An hour afterward he was voted great
medicine man, and sudden death was decreed
against any Indian who should dare to doubt
his right to divine honors.

A BALTIMORE paper contains the follow
South seriously expect to add Maryland to
their Cenfederacy, it shows how much they
are deluded. The pretended desire to get
Maryland is only to make sure of Virginia
and the other States south of the Potomac.
Be sure of that, for it is most true. We have
heard of the farmers forgetfulness of his
farm in order to get the little potato patch
outside which belonged to his neighbor.
Depend upon il, then, all that is pretended
about the Confederate desire for Maryland Is
at most only the lust after the potato patch
outside If any Marylander wants to secede
from his State, he may do so, but the State
herself can not and will not secede."

GREAT SALE OF SouTHDowx sHERp.-The

american Agriculturist says:
The sale of Mr.. Jonas Webb's flock of ofSouth-
down sheep, at Bsbrsham, England, on July
10, marks an era in the history Of sheep hus-
bandry, and will long be remembered, both
from the successful termination of Mr.. Webb's
career as breeder of sheep, and from the
influence which the dispersion Of his flock
will have upon the flocks of the world. ALI
the leading Southdown breeders of Great
Britain were present, or were represented at
the sale, and agents from nearly every quer-
ter of the globe assembled to compete for the
choice animals offered. The gathering of not
less than three thousand persons on the
ground showed the interest excited. The
competition was keen, and the prices OBJ
tanned were the greatest ever recorded, The
highest priced animal, a two-ye old ram,
was taken by our enterprising countryman,
Mr.. j. @. Taylor, of Holmdel, Monmouth
County, New Jersey, at 81, 200.

JAMES B. CLAY.

James B. Clay was born in Washington
City in 1917, and combined to an unusual
extent the practical ability of business man
with skill and knowledge as politician. In
early life he spent two years in accounting
house in Boston, from which he emigrated to
st. Louis. When twenty-one years of age
he returned to Kentucky, and after
being engaged for two years in manu-
featuring, he studied law, and after his ad-
mission to the bar continued to practice the
legal profession, as the partner of his father,
until ls49, when he was appointed Charge
d'Affaires to Lisbon. He returned home iu
1850, and in 1861 removed to Missouri. In
1853 he became the proprietor of Ashland,
where he has since resided. In 1856 he
warmly advocated the election Of James
Buchanan, and in 1857 he was nominated as
the Democratic candidate for Congress,in his
district, and elected. He had accumulated q
large property, invested chiefly in plants-
tions and negroes, and of late years has be-
come a more and more decided partisan OF
extreme pro-slavery views. By his arrest, one
of the most active and dangerous enemies Of
the Government will be prevented from do
ing any further mischief.
