and sweats,
And works earl, and late to pay his old d.bts."

Botany, was apprentieed to shoemalef
in Sweden; but afterwards taken notice

/ Benedict Baddouth, one of the most

father. The man wrote a treatise on
The shoehaking Of the ancients, which he
traced up to the time of Adam himself.
Thus Adam was shoemaker, and Eve
was taiioress. .'She sewed fg leaves
together" proving trulr the antiquity of
these two branches Of industry and skill.
To those may be added those ornaments
Of literature, Holcroft. the author of the.
s'Critic" and other works; Clifford, the
the foonder, and for many years the Ed
itor Of the London Quarterly Review, one,
of the most profound scholars and ele-
giant writers Of the age; and Bloomfield,

THE DEATH BELL


Thoughts ever occurring amid the din
of business and the stiffness of repose,
are beautifully expressed in the following
paragraph, which we clip from the Au
burn Daily Advertiser:
"Toll-toll-toll. The grim King Of
Terrors is among us again--tEe death
bell rings out, and its iron voice tells of
its triumph. Some mortals brief sojourn
in the vale Of tears is ended Who is it I?
the high or the humble? Is white
haired age, with its burden of years, and
its heart of garnered griefs and of faded
dreams?--or youth, arrested III its strength
its glowing frame robbed of its manlness
and vigor, its check of health, and its
opening heart of its bright, young dreams?
or infancy--some fragile bud withered
at the first contact with the winds of life,
its wall changed to an angels hymn
transplanted to bloom unfading in bet
ter cline Toll-toll-toll. That heavy
peal vibrates sadly upon our hearts how
much sadder upon those of the bereaved?
1t admonishes the living, while it knells
the dead, and heralds an unfettered spirit
to shoreless world And yet unheed-
ing the tide Of life flows on. Tramp,
tramp, tramp, moves the living throng-
toll, toll, toll, saws the bell for the gath
ering dead A word of life and a word
|of death. The earth is passing away"

We have fallen upon times of much evil
1t Is the duty OF every patriot to assist in
searching for, and, when found, point out the
crooked paths leading to that evil; and the
strait and narrow road leading from the same
just as a good physician before ne pTescribes
for patient, makes inquiry as to the former
life, habits and constitution of such person;
it is necessary for us to understand:
l. Previous political history-the facts prece-
ding the present rebellion.
III. The remote and immediate causes produc-
ing the present condition.
III. The course that has been pursued touch
ing this state Of affairs, by those exer-
cising power.
After looking at these things, we will be
prepared to inquire:
". Whether the proper course has been Pur-
sued.
To each of these points we propose devo-
ting a short chapter, in collecting FACTS, ac-
companied by such thoughts as may arise.
The labor consists not so much in obtaining
materials for such an inquiry, as in selecting
the parts that can be compressed into the
smallest compass, to be useful, of the vast
amount OF kindred evidence to be found in
the library of every well-iniormed man.

was not openly in favor of administering the
Constitution for the general good. Differences
often arose on questions of revenue and
finance, war and peace with foreigners, but
never before as to the duty of the Government
to protect alike all, under the Constitution.
The result was, that this Government acquired
strength, power and influence among the ma
tions of the earth in shorter period of time
than any other that ever preceded it. The
white wings of our commerce were upon ev-
cry ocean. The broad folds of our flag every
where protected the humblest citizen. We
remember that, but recently, a naughty power
of the old world was compelled, in the sur
render of Martin KoSta, to admit its potency.
1t was enough for him to say, Il am an
AMERICAN citizen" and he was relieved, as
Paul was delivered from scourging, when he
cried out, Il am Roman" In return, the
citizen rendered ready and cheerful assistance
and obedience to the Government that thus
protected him in his rights of personal liberty
and private property-that in a word give
him treedom-not in name only, but in fact.
From thirteen feeble colonies of three mil
lions of people, we became in about eighty
years a mighty nation of thirty-four States
and five Territories, numbering more than
thirty millions of inhabitants Instead of be-
ING confined to the Atlantic seaboard alone,
our dominion was extended from ocean to
ocean. In its diurnal round the sun barely
ceased to shine upon our possessions. The
evening drum had scarcely ceased to beat
upon the far off Pacific coast, when the morn
ING gun would awaken the echoes upon our
extreme east Our wealth had become ex-
ceeding great-perhaps, twelve thousand mil
lions of dollars Education had spread abroad
throughout the land. We had missionaries in
almost every field cf labor. Our influence
was being happily felt in every civilized gov
ernment The down-trodden, everywhere,
were looking to us and rising up and calling
us blessed.
This was the great REsULT-the ripe fruit
of the practical administration of government
in accordance with the CONSTITUTION and
the creed of jefferson.
As the city of Babylon fell, and as Job was
stricken, in the midst Of feasting and rejoic-
ing, so the evil came upon us in the day of
our prosperity. Let us look then for
THE CROOKED PATHS,
The immediate causes that led us into it.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE ON EMANcIPA-
TON IN THE DIST. OF COL UMBIA.
Fellow-citizens of the Senate and House
OF Representatives:
The act entitled an act for the release of
certain persons held to service or labor in
the District of Columbia, has this day been
approved and signed. 4 have never doubted
the constitutional authority of Congress to
abolish Slavery in this District and have
ever desired to see the National Capitol freed
from the institution in some satisfactory way,
hence there has never been in my mind any
question upon the subject, except the one of
expediency, arising in view OF all the CIR
cumStanceS.
II there be matters within and about this
act which might have taken a course or shape
more satisfactory to my judgment, | do not
attempt to specify them. | am gratlfied that
the two principles OF compensation and colo
nization are both recognized and patrioucal-
" applied in the act III the matter OF
compensation, it is provided that claims
may be presented within ninety days from
the passage of the act, but not thereafter
and there Is NO saving for minors, "femes
covert" insane, or absent persons. pre-
sumo this is an omission by mere oversight
and recommend that it be supplied by an
amendatory or supplementary act.

Pittsburg, April 8.

Pittsburg, April g.
10 Capt. N. III. Mclean, A. A. Gen1:
Capt.-It becomes my duty again to re-
pors another battle fought between two great
armies, one contending for the maintenance
of the best Government ever devised, and
the other for its destruction.
Il il pleasant to record the success of the
army contending for the former principle.
On Sunday morning our pickits were at
tackled and driven in by the enemy. lmme-
diately the five divisions stationed at this
place were drawn up in line OF battle to
meet them.
The battle soon waxed warm on the left
and center, varying at times to all parts of
the line. The enemy having forced the en-
tire line to fall back nearly half way from
their camps to the Landing.
At late hour in the afternoon desperate
effort was made by the enemy to turn our
left AID get possession of the Landing, trans
ports, sc.
This point was guarded by the gun boats
Tyler and Lexington, with four 24-pounder
parrot guns, and battery of riaed guns.
Just at this moment the advance of Gen
Buell's column and part OF the division Of
Gen, Nelson arrived. An advance was i'm
medIately made upon the point of attack
and the enemy was soon driven back.
In this repulse much is due to the CUR
boats Tyler and Lexington.
During the night the divisions under Gems
Cn,tenden and McCook arrived.
Gen. Wallace at Cramps Landing, SD
miles below was ordered at an early hour il
tho morning to hold bis division in readiness
to move in any direction it might be ordered
AteleVen the ordeP<was given to move 1t W
to Pi!tsburg, but owing to its being led by a
clrcultOus route did not arrive in time tC
take part in Sundays action.
During the night all was quiet, and feeling
thai moral advantage would be gained by
becoming the attacking party, an advance
was ordered as soon as day dawned. The
result was the gradual repulse of the enemy
at all points of the line from nine until prob
ably five in the eve, when it became cviden
that the enemy was retreating.
Ny force was too much fatigued from two
days hard fighting and exposure in open all

night to pursue the enemy.
