An IDEAL school girl is one Of the very love

fresh, so hopeful, the beauty Of womanhood in
its dewy promise, "a rose with all its sweetest
leaves folded Mentally, full of appreciation
and docility, knowing so little, yet capable of
knowing so much, a compound of sweet Gre
dulity and questioning keenness. Morally, the
most innocent and unselfsh Of beings, gentle
looking and loveable, with reverent eyes
lifted piously to heaven, and yet worshiping
the poor idols of the veriest clay, ready to be-

luctant gaze. Her knowledge of books is suf-
Hcently slight and superficial, yet there are
many subjects upon which she knows altogether
too much. She is not willing to be taught, be-
cause that would imply that SIXTY has some pos
sible mental advantage over sixteen, and she has
so long admired the waxen face in her mirror
that she looks upon gray hairs and wrinkles as
marks Of contempt bestowed by time upon
people he has known too long. She regards
her father as only her banker, and grumhles
when her unsparing drafts are not readily
honored her mother is her dressing maid and
nurse, and, like other low people, shows great
deal too much curiosity with regard to her
habits, engagements and correspondence. At
least such is her unfiliai view of this most pre-
cious earthly relation. Her elder brothers are
sometimes useful, but often tiresome, and il
they were not available TO pay bills, deliver
messages, and act as an escort when better can
not be had, they would be unmitigated bores
Younger brothers and sisters are playthings

thoughts of vanity and folly. That delicat'

pink and pearl, has returned furtive signals o.
boyish admirers, or, possibly, but most impru

miration that girl who respects herEelf would

We know, if the repeated tales Of those who

more iron clad gnnbosts are preparing at
Richmond. We may s'pooh-pooh" them, but
their existence still remains as well vouehed
for rs q rumor, as that of the Merrimac, the
Manassas, or the Arkansas. What the power
or capacity of those boats may be, we have
no means of knowing certainly. But We
know that the rebels are not devoid of seLse,

are told, and cannot fail to see for ourselves,
that the army of the Potomac is dependent on
our gunhoats for its existence and safety. Let
us look the matter boldly in the face for q mo-
ment, and ask what would be the resultshould
such thing occur a. the destruction of the
gunboats, or as the running of tie blockade by
the rebel iron clads, and the surrender of the

Particulars of the Destruction OF Porter
Guerrilla Band in Missouri.

HUDSON, No. Aug. 1o.-Col Mcneil again
overlook Porter's guefrills at Stockton, in the
northern part of Macon county, and, after an
other sharp fight, routed them, killing and
wounding large number, and capturing many
horses. The rebels were scattered in all direc-
tions. Some of the prisoners captured have
taken the oath and given bonds.
The following additional particulars Of the
fight between Colonel McNeil's command and
Porter's guerrillas, at Kirksville some days
since have been received here. One hundred
and twenty-eight dead rebels were found on
the field and buried. Their entire loss could
not have been less than three hundred.
1t is estimated on reliable authority that
fully two thousand of Porter's gang have de-
serted him, and are scattered, several hundred
of them being prisoners. The balance of his
force, which was, originally, three thousand,
are rapidly being pursued by Col. McNeiPs
troops, in four columns.
The Federal loss was sight killed and twen-
ty- five wounded.

The New Monitors state of the Rebel
Army.


New YORK, August 9.-Marshsl Murray
construes the order Of the Secretary of War so
as to place no restrictions on local travel.
One of the new Monitors will be ready in
few days; another on the lst of September, and
the others as quickly as possible. Eight are
being constructed, and the workmen are en-
gagged on them day and night.
The Commercial learns from gentleman
who left Richmond on the lst, that fearful
pestllence is raging in that city, and that hun
dreds are dying daily.
The rebel army, which numbers 400, 600, is
in fearful state of destitution. The general
headquarters and large proportion of the
army is removed to the south side Of the river
Although the army is so large, the leaders find
it almost impossible to bring more than 100, ,oos
men into the field at one time.
The steamship Saxonia, for Europe, has
457 passengers, and the Etna 57s; some of
these will doubtless be delayed, but the De-
partment has consented to allow all to go who
purchased tickets before the order was pro-
mulgated.
The Etna takes out $lTo 600 in specie.
The most encouraging reports relative to
recruiting were received at General Arthur's
office this morning. The Rensselaer, countv
regiment numbers 500, and is increasing
rapidly; the Rochester regiment is full with
500 men to spare; the Goshen regiment is
full, and the Kingston regiment is also ready
to march.
Commencing on Tuesday next, the State
regiments will proceed 10 the seat of war. The
first to leave will be the Elmira, Rochester,
Auburn, Orange County and Kingston regi-
ments. From reports received, there are only
$4,000 lacking to ill up the quota of the 800, 900
men called for by the President on July l, and
from the present state of recruiting the number
will be easily filled by Tuesday next.

were based upon Southern State stocks, snd
became worthless when tie war begun. The
people unanimously accept and prefer the
Treasury notes because, unlike local bank
bills, they are good everywhere in the country.
The rise in gold is caused partly By panic,
partly BY spectators and partly by circum-
stances which caRnot be avoided during times
of war, and therefore does not invalidate the
success of Mr.. Chase's system. Indeed, the
most careful inquiry developes the fact that
only the sympathizers with the rebellion, the
sympathizers with local bank companies and
the second rate brokers and Spectators in cur
rency feel the least alarm about, or the least
hostility against the financial system of the
Government.-N. 7. HeraIG, 4th

A CAUTIoE.-It is stated that the $500, 600
of Q United States bonds which formed part Of
the school fund of Texas, and were deposited
in the treasury Of that State, were not long
since withdrawn and sent abroad to be sold.
As the Government, we believe, has claimed
that the arms and other properly of the Q nited
States, seized by Texas when she Joined the
rebellion, will be regarded as set-off against
those bonds, and as, therefore, the United
States will not pay them, foreign purchasers
should be put on their guard, less they inHo-
Gently buy paper which has lost its value. It
might be well if our consuls at Havana, Lon
don and Paris were authorized to give public
notice of the withdrawal of our Governments

1t is too late now to build gnnboats that
shall be in time for this particular case; but
are there not other preventives? The rebel
prisoners of Gaines Mill and Malvern Hill
spoke of boats as facts accomplished. Shall
we pay no attention to these reports, but hang
our hopes on the Monitor and a few other ves-
sells which may prove unable to accomplish
the work for them to do, and then, when
terror and desolation follow upon supineness,
cry out that nobody is to blame2
