FOREIGN OFFICERS IN THE SERVICE OF THE
S0uTH.-Some time since the administration
issued circulars to its representatives in Eu-
rope, instructing them to refuse all applications
on the part of foreign officers for commissions
in our armies. We are aware that numbers of
French officers of distinction made personal
pvertures TO our Minister, and also to our Con-
sui in Paris, and that one and all were anxious
to enter the United States service Immediately
many of them merely requiring grades cores
ponding with those they had SO ably filed in
the French army. They were refused, and
numbers of them afterwards made like pro-
.posals to the Southern ENJOYS, and were in
stantly accepted. These officers, all of them
men of profound military education and great
military experience, have, of course, rendered
signal service to the Davis government in per-
fecting tie discipline of its troops.
We know that several Prussian officers Of
high rank, having obtained three years leave
OF absence from their own service, are now
organizing a large and efectual force Of heavy
cavalry for the Southern army. Artillery Off
GERS Of distinction from the French, Prussian,
Austrian and English armies are now in the
service of JEFF Davis. These officers are just
tie men we most needed. They are brave
accomplished adventurous soldiers, with great
experience in military matters, and, above ALL
deeply yersed in the science of arms.
Why have we dsdained such useful volun-
teers. Surely we need them. Many of the
officers above referred to were at first inclined
10 the cause of the North, offered their services
30 the North, and only embraced the opportuni.
ty Of service in the Southern armies when re-
fused edmittance into those of the North
The blundcr on the part of the administra-
tiOn was gross One-on par with the c0un-
termandng of recruits months ago, while now
we are forced to draft-on par also with the
rescindment of orders for arms thus leaving us
for months past dependent upon precarious sup
plies; finally, on par with the assertions that
were made months and months ago, to the effect
That "the war was virtually ended, that in six
Weeks the South would lay down its arms and
sue for peace" &c.
It Is not yet too late to repair the error
There are hundreds of eminent officers in
Europe who would gladly avail themselves of
an opportunity Of entering the service of the
North. The administration need but instruct
lts representatives to make advances to such
ISr US to procure officers more capable of rec-
ferlng our brave and hardy men invincible
tlusn are pettifogging country lawyers. We
re no advocates for placing our armies under
fhe command Of foreign generals; but we do adj
vocate the having experienced foreign officers
yNfo Ia 20 v.x:kl
xiii and science. If the South may use such
advantages we have yet to learn why we may
not do the same.

( The ISSUE OF rHE New POSTAGE CuRRENCY.-
Two days in the week are allotted by Mr.. Cisco,
The Sub-Treasurer, to issue the new postal cur
rency to the public, and, as this circulating me-
dium has now become almost necessity the con-
sequence is that the mass Of people who assem-
BILE about the Sub-Treasury in Wall street on
the appointed days Is perfectly amazing They
may be seen drawn up in o queue, like voters
at the polls, extending sometimes two blocks.
The Inconvenience and absurdity Of this mode
of disbursing the postage currency is manifest.
Why not distribute the allotted portion to the
different banks, and let them divide II amongst
their customersi This plan would not only be
a convenience to the public, but II would in a
measure check the operations Of spectators.
The New York herald., 1862-10-20

have failed to make headway In any Of these
lsms, and, falling back on niger worship, they
have taken 1t up as their last resource, and par
tially succeeded. But the elections have dealt
Ehem a blow from which they can never re-
cover. 1t was only by the temporary division
of the conservative element that they could
achieve momentary success. by the reunion
OF these elements the weakness of the abolition
lists is laid bare, and they appear in their true
iight--a miserable faction, which, like every
dog, has had its day; but it is now vanishing
into eternal night, beneath sea of blood.

To CHOW Coon CABBAGEs.-You
cannot raise good cabbages on the same
ground two or more successive seasons.
If you try it, the heads will grow all
sorts of ways-som long legged and
some short legged, some stump footed
and all Of them lousy, and SO on
through all the catalogue Of cabbage
in6rmities and dispositions. Make
your cabbage garden where you have
plowed in turf, and had it thoroughly
rotted. Some people sprinkle en- a lit
tie salt. Cabbages, it is well known,
aae tender, succulent plants, and there
fore seem to be prey to great num-
Der of different enemies. The cut
worm, the army worm, the aphis, and a
lot more Of insect marauders, are always
in search after them, end will generally
multiply more or less in spite of YOU,
and leave their eggs or their chrysalis
on the ground, ready to pounce upon
the young plants of the next crop of the
kind, if planted there. Hence one
cause of the failure Of successive crops.
These facts make it advisable to move
your cabbage patch every Spring.

ABILENE is beautifully situated on a small
stream of clear running water. one mile north
of the Smoky Hill River. near the geographical
centre of Dickinson county, and on the great
thoroughfare from the Missouri River to the
Gold Regions, New Mexico, and California. IL
is the only town between Junction City and
Salina, and is located midway-being twenty
FIVE miles from each. The country around
ABILENE is the most fertile and beautiful that
can be found in the State-its character being
an intermixture Of timber and prairie, pecu-
harry adapted to agricultural purposes. Tho
fertility of the soil, the excellence of the water,
the healthfulness Of the location, and the abun-
dance of timber and building stone, are induce
merits of no ordinary character; while in
addition, the rich mineral resources Of this
portion of the State, The Salt Springs. and
extensive Coal Fields west Of us on the Smoky
Hill, insurng the early completion Of Rail
Road from the Missouri River, makes it one Of
the best natural business points in the State.
The town was laid out six months ago, since
which time over one hundred lots have been
sold, and it now contains a store, blacksmith
shop hotel, Post Office, and several families.
