Daniel Webster. His predictions have arriv

the Constitution for necessity, when no suct
necessity exists. The rebels set up necessity
as the cause or justification Of their rebellion
Such humbugs must sooner or later fall to The

The AMERICAN NAvY.-On the fourth Of
March, 1861, when President Lincoln was in-
augurated, the Government vessels available for
service were only four in number carrying %
guns. Our Navy now consists of 264 vessels
of all sizes carrying 2,057 guns, with an ag-
gregate tunnage of 3l9,0l6 tuns, and manned
by $4,000 seamen. Commenting upon these
facts. the Hartford Post says:

LINE OF BATTLE.-This expression often
occurs in referring to the order of troops on
the battle field, and it is doubtless the opinion
Of many that the two armies stand in two
lines ; but it is not so.
The army is divided into divisions, and there
are often great gaps between the divisions
They are posted in positions or in commanding
places-that is, on hills or in woods, or on the
banks Of streams, in places where they will be
best able to resist or attack the enemy. The
divisions are usually SO placed that they can
support one another. You can understand a
line of battle pretty well by imagining regi-
ment here on hill, another down in the val
ley, third in piece of woods, with artillery
and cavalry placed in the best positions. If
you want to make it more real, when you are
out in the fields or pastures, with the hills all
around, just imagine that the enemy is over
yonder hill, with ten thousand men and twenty
pieces of artillery. You are a General and
have an equal number. The enemy will come
down that road, spread out into the field, or
creep up through the woods and attack you.
You can't exactly tell how many men he
will send on the right or how many on the
center, or how many on the left; so you must
arrange your forces to support each other
Then, TO shift it, you are to attack him. You
don't know how his troops are arranged, for
he keeps them concealed as well as he can
You don't want many of your men killed but
do want to win a victory Now there is a
chance for you to try your skill in planning
line of battle. You must place your artillery
where it will DO the most damage and receive
the least from the enemy. You must move
your infantry so that they will not be cut off
by the enemy before they get near enough to
cut them up in return. You see that it is no
small thing to be a General. These are great
possibilities Scientific American

SIMPLE CURE FOR CRoUP.-We find in the
Journal of Health the following simple remedy
for this dangerous disease. Those who have
passed nights of great agony at the bedside of
loved children, will treasure it up as an invalua-
bic piece of information. If q child is taken
with Group, instantly apply cold water, ice
water if possible, suddenly and freely TO the
neck and chest with sponge. The breathing
will almost instantly be relieved. So soon as
possible, let the sufferer drink as much as it
can then wipe il dry, cover it up warm, and
soon a quiet slumber will relieve the parents
anxiety. and lead the heart in thankfulness to
the Power which has given to the pure gushing
fountain such medical qualities.
WRITING on PAPERs.-The Postmasters say
that the practice of conveying information by
writing on newspapers is on the increase of
late and it is well enough, therefore, to inform
the public that TO enclose in a newspaper or
other package of printed matter, writing or
anything except subscription bill or receipt,
subjects the whole package TO letter postage.
Printed slips, circulars or handbils, not legiti-
mately pertaining to the newspaper, folded,
pasted or stitched in any such printed matter
also subject the same TO letter postage. Also
any writing, marks or signs other than the
proper address, written or printed upon
newspaper wrapper, subjects the package to
letter postage, to be collected of the person to
whom it was sent.

bered, male and female, not less than eighty,
Some thirty ladies and gentlemen from the city
were present and engaged II the dance. At

thing was conducted in perfect order, as is
always the case about the Asylum under its

THE CASE OF THE EMILY ST. PIERRE In
the British House of Lords, recently, Lord
Brougham, on behalf of Lord Lyndhurst,
Whose health has greatly improved of late
asked for the correspondence which had taken
place respecting the capture of the Emily St
Pierre by the Americans and her re capture
from the prize crew. He understood that there
had been some correspondence upon the sub
ject, and he wished to know from the noble
earl Lord Russell whether there would be
any objection to produce that correspondence
Earl RUSSELL have no objection to lav
the papers before the house, as the correspon.
dence is now closed, and Lord Lyons. in his
last letter, promised TO send it home immedi-
ately. The opinion of the law officers was ia
ken upon this question, and they stated that
there was no power in this country to surren-
der the vessel or to give it up to the United
States Government. 1t was at that time sup
posed there was no precedent to refer to, but
have been informed this morning that there is
precedent, regularly enough, when the Brit
ish Government demanded from the American
Government the surrender of vessel which
had been recaptured by the crew after being
seized as prize. Mr. Adams, the grandfa-
ther Of the present American Minister 10 this
country, was then President, and he replied
that there was no precedent for such demand
The result was. the British Government failed

An association under this name has

by European powers, has awakened new
interest in the scheme. A meeting for
