lghtened Public.
The general features of the Paper, in addi-
ton to its POLITICAL AND NEWS DEPART
NETS, will be POETRY, SKETCHES, BIOG-
RAPIY and Original and Selected TALES,
chosen for their lessons Of Life, illustrations
OF History, depicture Of Manners, and general
merit and adapted, in their variety, 10 the
tastes OF both sexes and all ages.
THE LITERARY CHARACTER .
OF THE WEEKLY PRESS. now universally
acknowledged to be of an elevated stamp,
shall not only maintain its present high stan
ding, but shall be enhanced by important and
valuable contributions from able Writers.
THE POLITICAL COURSE
OF THE WEEKLY PRESS need not be enlar-
ged upon here. Independent, steady and
fearless, it has battled uuwavcringly and re al
ously in defence OF THE RIGHTS OF THE
PEOPLE against Executive Usurpation and
Unfair and TyrannicaI Legislation ever de-
ciaring anG adhering TO the doctrine that

bore.

having taken food for six, eight and ten
days. They were utterly dispirited, and
made no attempt to conceal it.
A corps of noble hearted ladies accom-
panied Us, and we were all generously
supplied with delicious homemade bread
and butter, apple and cranberry sauce,
baked apples, cooked tomatoes, grapes, etc.,
which were in but few instances declined.
Under the influence of the bright, cheer
full, sympathetic talk in which women are
adopts, the ailing men visibly frightened
and grew better under our very eyes.
Those who atfirst could not sit up, grad
ually rose in their hunks, and talked over
their hardships and discouragements, all
of them protesting vehemently that at no
time since they entered the service had
they Jared as badly, or suffered as many
privations as since they came to Chicago.
We are inclined to believe their statements.
A more thoroughly dissatisfied set of men
we have never encountered Nor is their
dissatisfaction groundless. They have
sufficient cause of complaint in the fact
that they are quartered in the filthy, lousy
barracks where the rebels rotted and fes-
tered in filth for nine long months, and
this is by no means their only grievance.
Some of the regiments have become thor
oughly demoralized and mutinous, tearing
down the camp fences, breaking guard,
and raising dickens generally, and we do
see, unless there are great improvements
in the condition of all, what is to prevent
all becoming equally insubordinate. No
one can visit the poor fellows without
seeing that there is gross mismanagement
somewhere, nor listen to their complaints
without sharing in their indignation. 1t
is said that there is to be an immediate
change for the better in their condition
which we hope to sec on our next visit.
In the meanwhile we are heartily ashamed
of their present condition, and think those
responsible for it should be arrested on
the charge of discouraging enlistments.

DISCOVERIES AT PoMPEII.-- A CORES
pondent of the London Atheneum writes
on August 9th, last, on that day a bakers
house in Pompeii was excavated, in one
corner of which was found heap of silver
and copper coins, to the number of about
500, which had seemingly been tied up
in little bag. At the same time, and
near the same spot, we're found two large
shears, and soon afterwards house mill
of the ordinary description, together with
a little heap of corn, the grains of which
were blackened and somewhat shrivelled,
but yet fully preserving their shape and
very little diminished in size In the
nezt apartment was found the metal shovel
with which the loaves were placed in the
oven; the oven itself, the mouth of which
was closed with large iron door, not on
hinges, but cemented at the edges to the
faces of the oven. The door was soon re-
moved and we were rewarded with the
sight of an entire batch of loaves, such as
they deposited in the oven seventeen
hundred and eighty three years ago.
They are eighty-two in number, and ALL
so far as regards form, size indeed every
characteristic, except weight and color
precisely as they came from the bakers
hand. When it is recollected that up tc
the present time but two such loaves have
been discovered, and all of them imperfect
the interest of the discoveries will be fully
appreciated.

The LATE DISASTROUS ExpEDITIoN.-
The New York Express prints the follow
ing extracts from private letter just re-
ceived by gentleman in New York, from
an officer in the army: Beaufort S. c.,
Oct. "a. The troops had rations for eight
days and expected to find the rebels un-
prepared. This morning brought the re-
turn of the expedition, totally defeated
and terribly cut up. We lost over one
thousand men out Of force of 1850, and
as | write the wagons are passing from
the boats, loaded with wounded men,
whose groans pierced my heart. The
rebels knew of the expedition from the
start and were ready and anxious to meet
it. This affair is even more disastrous
than that of James Island. Four negroes
left Port Royal as the expedition was
ready to move, and were seen fighting in
the rebel ranks. Gen. Mitchell did not
accompany the expedition, intending to
follow it with reinforcements in few days.

How THEY FIRE IN BATTLE.-Am arm,

How THEY FIRE IN BATTLE-Am army
correspondent sayes You wonder wheth-
er the regiments fire regularly in volley,
or whether each man loads and fires as
fast as he can That depends upon cir
cumstances but usually, except when the
enemy is near at hand, the regiments fire
only at the command of their officers.
You hear drop, drop, drop. as few Of
the skirmishers fire, followed by rattle
and roll, which sounds like the falling of
building, just as some of you have
heard the brick walls tumble at great
fire. Sometimes when body of the ene-
my's cavalry are sweeping down upon a
regiment to cut it to pieces, the men form
into square, with the officers and music
ians in the center. The front rank stands
with bayonet charged, while the second
rank fires as fast as it can. Sometimes
they form in four ranks deep--thc two
front ones kneeling with bayonet charged
so that if the enemy should come upon
them, they would run against a picket
fence of bayoncts. When they form in
this way, the other two ranks load and
fire as fast as they can. Then the roal
is terrific, and many horse and his ri
der goes down before the terrible storm
Of bullets

side of the mountain maid, where are
the luxuriant locks that formerly hung
around your neck? Iwent, and | fought
at your bidding and | now come to claim
my reward"
"Adolph,' answered she,"I became
jealous of my hair; your heart was en-
tangled among its thick curls; the more
| combed them, the more they webbed
around the heart: and so | cut them Oft.
Do you not love me without my locks y"
"Love you Ella? Gould do less than
worship you, since you have so nobly
marred your beauty for the benefit of
your country? Look at this bracelet /;
the hair is yours--the name is yours" I"
Thus caught, the generous girl thonght
it useless to deny the facts here recorded.
She confessed all, and shortly afterward
was the wife of the stranger Adolph, and
Countess Of Rutland.

REBEL ESTIMATE OF GEN. MCCLELLAN
"A surgeon of Louisiana regiment,
writing to the Mobile Register an account
of the battle of Antietam, gives his estimate
of Gen. Mcclellan as follows:
1t may not be improper to suggest
here, that the people of the confederate
states have been led to underestimate the
abilities of Mcclellan. In my judgment
he is incomparably the best officer in the
federal army, if not equal to any in the
confederate; and if he had such troops as
ours in command, the world would not be
long in finding him out. His disasters
are not justly attributable to his lack Of
generalship SO much as to the character
of his troops. The manner in which he
conducted his retreat from Richmond and
his conduct of affairs thus far in Mary
land are enough to entitle him to be rank
ed with the ablest commanders on either
side Officers tell me that a close inspec-
tion of his position and works before
Richmond, and thorough examination Of
his movements from day to day after the
battle commenced, did not disclose one
solitary mistake or blunder on his part
He did the best that could be done
at evey point, under the circumstances
and with the material he had around
him. 1t is safer to give the enemy cred
it for too much ability than too little"

priated to the use of the intrepid defend
ers of the king. When the father of El-
la was called upon for his proportion, he
had nothing to give, and the noble heart
ted girl then, for the first time, felt the
want of wealth.
Father, let us sell our focks," said
she; 1--WE will beamply repaid in the free
dom we shall enjoy; and when peace
comes again, I'm sure l can work for
you"
"No, my daughter" answered the old
man, "our country requires no such sac
rifce-we must not deprive ourselves of
the means of livelihood"
Ella reflected for long while, and
formed thousand plans for raising a sum
of money worthy of being given in aid of
the patriotic cause; but all her schemes
were impracticable, and she even wept in
solitude for her inability to serve her
country.
"Would that these locks were wires of
gold" exclaimed she running her fingers
through the clustering tresses as they dal-
lied with the wind; Il might then give
them for the general good. Can they not
be sold? l will 90 to Breslau and offer
them; they may bring but a trihc, yet
they are all / have to bestow. But Ad-
olph, when he returns and heholds me de-
prived of my greatest beauty, what will
he say? Alas he will turn from me-he
will love me no more. Well, be it so
| will sacrifice even his love in the cause
of liberty !"
She accordingly proceeded to Brcsleau,
and offered her hair for sale to the first
f"iseur in the city. The loveliness of the
young girl, and the novely of her offer
caused the person to inquire why she rob-
bed herself of such beautiful tresses On
lreceiving her answer, he was astonished
at the extraordinary and disinterested
feeling of patriotism displayed by one SC
young and interesting.
"l will take the locks, my pretty girl,
said he, admiring the softness Of thell
texture, land turn them into bracelets
Every ybody will buy when they know
of whose hair they were made"
The delighted girl received the proffer
ed sum, and flew to add it to the genera
fund. The trisear had predicted right
the story got wind, and the ladies and
gentlemen of the city focked to his store
to puschase the bracelets marked with thu
name of ELLA" Among others, a young
officer of high rank, hearing the story, en-
endeavored to obtain one of the articles
The vender had but one left and, as he
had already raised a very consider
able sum from their sale, he intended
to keep that for himself. The officer ex
amined the color and texture of the hair
and when his eyes fell upon the name o
Ella" smile of pride and gratitude
curled his lip, and he uttered, ." 1t must
be shell" He emptied his purse upon TIT
counter, and told the man to take it al
for the bracelet, who, being dazzlcd b.
the sight of SO much gold, readily con
sented, and the officer left the shop, with
the treasure pressed to his lips.

A SOUTHERN WoMAN's view OF THE WAR.
A letter written by southern woman
now residing in the North to her sister in
South Carolina, is published, in which
the following Christian view of the con-
test is taken -
GAS to the present fearful struggle be-
tween liberty and slavery, I am dumb;
l open not my mouth. see in it only
the terrible retribution which father fore
told when he said to me, "the sun of sla-
very will set in blood" and he added,
81 hope it will not be in my day." That
prayer was granted; that prophecy is now
in its ful6llment; the language of Christ
is this day being accomplished, "What-
soever ye would that men should do unto
you, do ye even so to then" for with
what measure ye mete it shall be measured
to you again" Oh, sister, how it seems
to me the negro and the Indian claim of
God this promise. We have ruthlessly
sundered the tenderest ties of humanity.
Parents and children, husbands and wives
have been torn asunder and now Jehovah
is giving us the same bitter cup to drink,
on the battle field and in the hospital of
the sick the wounded and the dying
How many widows and orphans are this
day weeping tears of blood for the slain of
my people. l feel in this awful crisis as
if my only prayer is, "Thy will be done
AS to who shall wear the laurels of the
conqueror, have no will | utter no Pc
tition my faith is that God will try us
in the furnace until we are prepared to
carry out his design for humanity; until
we are worthy to exhibit to the nations
of the earth people loving righteousness,
and administering to the poor and the op-
pressed justice and mercy. Then will
the sword be stayed, and the proud and
naughty humblcd, and God alone exalted. u
