TEACHING THE WOMEN TO SAVE
There's the secret ! A saving woman at
the head of family is the very best sa-
Wings bank vet established--one that re-
ceives deposits daily and hourly, and no
costly machinery to manage it. The
idea of saving is apleasant one; and if
IS women would iinbibe il once, they
would cultivate and adhere to it, and
thus, when they were not aware of it,
would be laying the foundation Of q
competent security in a stormy time, and
shelter in a rainy day." The woman
who sees to her own house, has large
| field to save in. The best way 70 make
her comprehend it, is for her to keep an
account of current expenses. Probably
not one wife in ten has an idea how
much are the expenditures of herself
and family. When from one thousand
to two thousand dollars are annually ex-
pended, there IS chance TO save some
thing if the attempt is only made. Let
the housewife take the idea, ponder upon
it, and strive over it, and she will save
many dolars-perhaps hundreds-where
before she thought it impossible. There
is duty-not prompting of avarice-
moral obligation that rests upon "the
woman," as well as the n an; but it is a
duty, we are sorry to say, that is cultiva-
ted very little oven among those who
preach the most and regard themselves
as examples in most matters. Teach
the women to save" is good enough
maxim to be inserted in the next edition
of "Poor Richards Almanac"

The London papers hive begun their
"reminiscences of Prince A lbcrt, and some
pretty stories are told of the royal court
ship, one of which states that he played
the part of royal lover with al the grace
peculiar to his house. He never willing
" absented himself from the Queon's So
ciety and presence, and her every wish
was anticipated with the alacrity of an
unfeigned attachment. AT length her
Majesty, having wholly made up hor
mind, found herself in some measure en-
barrassed rs to fit and proper 1neans of
Indicating her preference to the Prince,
but acquitted herself with delicacy and
tact. At one Of the palace balls she took
occasion to present her boquet to the
Prince at the conclusion of dance, and
the hint was not lost upou the polite and
gallant German. His close uniform, but
toned up to his throat, did not admit Of
his placing the Persian-like gift where it
would he most honored so he immedi-
ately drew his pen knife, and cut a slit in
his dress in the neighborhood of his heart,
where he deposited the happy omen. .g

The Campaign on the Potomac.

GS The winter campaign on the Pc,
tomac is doubtless ended, unless the en-
envy make an offensive movement That
the campaign, on our part, has been a
miserable failure, cannot be denied
Why it has so proven, it is probably
needless to inquire. The xcellent wealth
er Of Autumn, the time for rapid move
ment upon the heels of discounted en-
envy, was fritted away by MCCLELLAN in
inaction, and probably the golden OPP
portunity for results was past before the
change in commanders took place. The
plan Of BuRNsrDE's campaign was doubt
less feasible and we'll conceived, and had
his rapid movement upon the Rappahan
mock been correspondence met by those
who were to cooperate with him, he
would have carried the tide of war far
south of that river. Either treason or
incapaciiy stopped him at Falmouth un-
I'll the fortificalions Of his enemies were
strong enough TO place an insuperable
obstacle in his path, 10th to disappoint
the expectations Of the country, which
demanded the test OF battle, he adyan-
ced, crossed the river by a brilliant
movement, threw himself with energy
and daring upon the enemy, but found
them unassailable. Then, with prompt
ness and ability. he withdrew, accom-
plishing dangerous movement without
the loss Of men or of property. The
country weeps fol the loss of the 10000
brave men who were thus killed and
manned without result, and are suffering
the soreness Of disappointment at this
prostitution of lis hopes. 1t deprecates,
too, tho inevitable effect the repulse m ust
have upon European sentiment, as Civ
ing further excuse for European inter
ference. In every aspect this failure of
the campaign of the Army Of the Poto-
mac falls ch.lling'y upon loyal hearts.
The loss Of Gen. BURNsIDE's army is
given officially at $4,000 killed, and
5000 wounded. We lost about 800
prisoner, and t~ok as many, The rebel
loss is given by a Richmond dispatch at
about 5000. 1t reports the loss of Gen
erals GRIGGs and CoBH, and many field
officers. Tie Sd South Carolina regi.
ment is reported as nearly annihilated.
The rebels stripped all of our dead whom
they found upon the field of battle.

Change in the Cabinet.

ED- Rumors are rife in Washington
OF change in the Cabinet A caucus
of Republican Senators is reported to
have voted in favor of inviting the Presi.
dent to remove Secretary SEWARD, and
the latter hearing Of it, is said to have
rendered bis resignation. Messrs BLAIR
AMI BATES have also, it is said, stendered
their designations, and the probabilities
look to an entire change in the Cabinet,
with the single exception of Secretar y
CHASE.
That Secretary SEWARD has become
unpopular With large class Of men who
were once his staunchest friends, is un
deniable. Since the war commenced
he has at several times given evidence oil
his failure to appreciate its magnitude,
by openly prophecying its speedy sup
preston. Instead Of the bold antagonist
Of the Slave Power which he had proven
himself for years, he has evidently be :
come timid conservative, and upon
him-with much reason, doubtless-has
been charged the weak, inefficient policy
OF the administration, respecting slavery,
throughout the contest He is charged,
also, with being the upholder and sus-
tainer Of such do-nothing Generals as

Important Decision.

EE- Section 10 Of the Excise Law,

all horned cattle, exceeding 10 months
old, slaug htered for sale, 80 cents per
head on all calves and cattle under 10
months old, slaughtered for sale, 5 cents
per head on all hogs, exceeding 6
months old, slaug entered for sale, when.t the
number exceeds 90 in one year, 10 cents
per head ; on all sheep, slaughtered for
sale, FIVE cents per head.

Night before last we had an alarm. One
of our pickets accdently discharged his
gun. The long roll was beaten, and the
whole regiment were in line in less than
three minutes. Among the first on the
ground, with gun and cartridge box all
in order, was Edward L. Herndon, (my
contraband.) He has been carrying for
some time the equipments of one of the
sick boys in Company c., and says il
ever we get into fight he is bound to
shoot one secesh.

have received orders from Col. Dubois
to report to him with the regiment, al

worst fears were to be realized.

MCCLELLAN and BUELL., whom he has
supported in their evident intention OF
hurting the rebels as little as possible
These facts have long been spoken Of
with disgust by his old friends, and it is
believed to be necessary in order to OBJ
tain a different policy, that he should
withdraw. That his retirement should
involve that of other members Of the Cab
met is probable, and we look upon a
change in the Presidents advisers as
certain and speedy.

Increase of Subscription.

Ey- The present great advance in the
price Of paper has left publishers no al
tentative but to curtail the dimensions Of
their journals, or to increase their sub
scription prices. The latter course is
being taken by all the city and nearly
all the country papers East and West.
Were the present rise in paper likely to
prove temporary, we should decline to
follow the example, but from diligent
inquiry among publishers and paper
dealers, we are satisfied that the present
high prices may be considered perma
nent, and that we may even look for a
still greater advance. We therefore see
no alternative but to follow the general
course of our contemporaries, and raise
our subscription price. Our friends
will therefore please take notice that on
and after the lat Of January next, the
terms Of the Guardian will be,
So per annunn, payable
