DO NOT BURN TIE CITIES.

The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist, in re-
monstrating against the policy of burning the
cities of the South 0s the Federal army advances,
says:
ga captured city, for instance, may serve only
as temporary convenience to an enemy, for the
occupation of troops. If it be q strategic point,
he would hold it through its buildings were
heap of smouldering ruins. His tents would be
pitched among the rubbish or on the outskirts.
No General would leave it because his troops
did not have houses to live in. Nor would he
keep his army in the best built city, on account
of its fine houses, if the plans of the campaign
required them elsewhere, or il the position could
not be held against superior force moving to
re'possess it."
In referring to a rumOr that Savannah would
be thus destroyed in case the enemy make good
their attack the writer says:
ave protest against it as unwise, as irultless
of any good result, as not calculated to be of amy
serious disadvantage TO the enemy, while 1t
would infict siupendous, permanent injury
upon the people of the city and Of the State. 1t
would involve destruction Of buildings that
otherwise might stand hundreds of years TO
beautify that fair city, and aubserve the uses of
her people for ages after the present ntroolous
set OF Yankee vandns have been driven back 10
their Northern homea, To destroy the city
under the presumption that it could never he won

MonRRN CnoIR SIEGlHa.-A correspondent OF
a religious paper, who urges the necessity OF
reform in church music, says that our amateur
choir singers are too fond OF 9" executing dill
cult pieces, and cOnfuunding common people

st. Bardolpl's takes Of this style most laugha

LIVING WITHIN MEANS.-.There is n
dreadful ambition for living "genteel."
We keep up appearances too often at the
expense of honesty and though we may
not be rich. yet we must seem to be "re-
spectacle" though only in the mcanest
sense-in mere vulgar outward show
We have not the courage to go patiently
onward in the condition of life in which
it has pleased Gou to call us; but must
needs live in some fashionable state to
which ridiculously we please to call our
selves, and all to CRAFTY the vanity of that
unsubstantial gentecl world of which we
form part. There is constant press.
ure and struggle for front seats in the so
cial amphitheatre in the midst of which,
all noble and self-sacriticing resolve is
trodden down, and many fine natures are
invOluntarily crushed to death. What
waste, what misery, what bankruptcy,
come from all this ambition to dazzle 9th
ers with the glare of apparent worldly
success, we need not describe. The mis-
chieyous results show themselves in a
thousand ways-in the rank frauds com.
mittrd by men who dare to be dishonest,
but who do not dare to be seen poor !;
and in the desperate dashes at fortune, in
which the pity is not so much for those
who fail, as for the hundreds of innocent
families who are SO often involved in their
ruin.

THE MINERALS IN OUR BoDIEs-In the
body of a man weighing l54 pounds there
are about II pounds of mineral matter,
consisting of phosphate Of lime, pounds

salt, oDnces 3.7G grains; peroxyde of
iron, $50 grains; SILICA, grains ma
king 7 pounds ounces and 40 grains,
with minute quantities of potash, chlorine
and several other substances. The rest
of the system is composed Of oxygen, hy-
drogen, nitrogen and carbon; Ill pounds
of the oxygen and hydrogen being COM
bined in the form Of water.
Though the quantity of some Of these
substances is very small, it is found abso,
luteiy essential to health that this small
quantity should be supplied; hence the
importance Of variety of food. If We
furnish nature with all the material re.
quired, she will select such as the system
needs. and always just in the proper
quantities.

A DARE DEVIL REBEL SCOUT-JOHN
MORGAN, OF KENTUCKY, SwEARs HE WILL
CAPTUhE A GENERAL. The Nashville cor
respondent of the New York Times, wri-
ting of John Morgan, says the name of
this mysterious maraudcr is on the lips of
every one, for his daring cOolneSS and dis
regard of fear has become a by-word
among even our army This Col John
Morgan, for SO he STYLES himself is said
to be native of LexingtOb, KY, whose
father WAS respectable manufacturer Of
jeans. From his youth, this Morgan has
won the admiration Of all who knew him
for his daredevil reckleSSneSS, which even
now does not seem to be diminished in
the least. We first heard of him when
our brigade Ohe Eighth was, portion OF
them, encamped at Pilot Knob, Mo-, last
September. Our pickets were shot by
some mysterious agency, and report sta
ted, in camp, that tall, heavy man, with
flowing beard, mounted on an immense
black stallion, fle as the wind, was sew
eral times detected in the act of retreating.
Shot after shot was fired after him, but he
seemed to bear a charmed life. We lost
sight of him until just before we left Cairo,
when he appeared one night, and shot
two of our plckets. Again he appeared
at Bacon Creek, KY. and burnt the rail
road under Mctook' nose, shot one of
his pickets, and rode Oft before the army
had recovered from its surprise.
You remember his bold attack upon our
lines on Saturday, the 9Th of March. in
Mitchcll's Division. and again on Sunday
morning, at daylight, upon McCooks
camp, on the Franklin pike. The very
same Sunday. this Morgan, disguised as
countryman. and dressed in butter-nut
clothes, obtained pass from Gen. Mitch.

lie came very near capturing Gen. Nelson
last waek. The plot was discovered in
time to be frustrated, but not to catch the
rogue. He has since captured the rail
road train running between Louisville and
Nashville, at Gallatin, taking thirty bridge
builders prisoners. but releasing them, aS
he seeks higher game He has boaSted
thai he will catch one of our Generals as
an offset to Buckner, he having been
Buckner's especial favorite. He has Of
frred a reward of 81 900 TO any citizen or
officer who will catch him and his steed,
and, strange to say, disguised, has made
these bets openly before our officers, who
at the time did not know him. Such is
Col. John Morgan, the famous rebel scout,
who, though he deserves hanging. YET
wins admiring opinions from his enemies,
as well as friends, for his daring.

BAD LUcK.-Bad luck is represented,
by modern paragraphist, as "a man
with his hands in his pocket" A more
apt definition could not be given, as it COM
prises whole moral essay in eight words.
The unlucky individual is he who allows
every disappointment TO become lion in
his path, frightening him back to his
starting point, and keeping him there
Or he may be a good for nothing, lazy
fellow, without sufficient energy to start
at all. That fortunate persons sometimes
stumble upon fortunes, we are willing TO
admit; but said persons very seldom find
such fortunes unless they are looking for
them. Again, sickness and kindred ills
may reduce man to misery is then
unfortunate, not unluckv. The two terms
have widely different Specifications one
result is unavoidable; the other is direct
antithesiS. We believe that a young
American can reach any point of emf
nence, either financial or political, if he
has gooG b A,aAs irrcp, oachable character,
and no bad habits. The chair of the
President is not too high for him, and the
wealth of a millionaire is not beyond his
reach. But there must be no wavering
about him "he must be like an eagle,
that rises from the plain, to soar to the
summit of n lofty mountain. Dark clouds
may lower on his aerial path, storms may
thunder DER his head, but with undimin-
ished fire he darts ahead-to find those
angry clouds mere volumes of impalpable
smoke and tempests, harmless showers of
refreshing dew. Such youth will fight
himself to fame and fortune on his native
soil. He allows no mad bull of disap-
pointment to chase him to the western
fence, or the southern gate; but he stands
boldly in his tracks as dangers approach,
and by opposing ends them"
