advice to young men: eff therefore, You
wish for clear mind and strong muscles,

ed IN old age, permit me to say, although

all drinks aboYeswsler and mild infusions
Of that fluid, shun tobacc,, opium and ev-
erything that disturbs the moral state Of
the system: rely upon nutritious food, and
mild, diluted drinks, of which water is the
base, and you viii need nothing beyond
these things, except rest, and due moral ie.

Scott was long delayed on its way, but we
print it for the several points Of interest
not before known to cur readers:
GAINESVILLE MINI I
Nov. 5, 1862.
Mr.. CovER:-I herewith send you
sta tement Of the result of our conpany's
election, Capt. Swan with so men is now
stationed at Minnehaha IA miles S. w.
or | would send you his returns.
Election passed off quietly. We kept
our work building, hauling wood &c, 60
ing on at the same time.
We have our winter quarters al erect
ed, and the boys are comfortably settled
in them. We have dug well which fur
nishes abundance OF first rate water. Each
cabin has good little cellar and most Of
them are well filled with potatoes ana tur-
nips, which the messes have secured indie
pendent of the cotanlissary The yegeta-
bies were taken from deserted fields.
There is az abundance of provisions for
men here, but a scarcity of forage. We
were ordered to provide stables for seven
y five horses.
Now there is rumor that the Iowa
and Wisconsin boys are ordered South.
Nearly all of the boys came here very re-
luctantly. | woulda decline to be account
able for all the swearing that woald arise,
if after the amount Of labor expended here,
an order should come for them to abandon
their comfortable cabins and well lied eel
lars, for other occupants. Everything has
passed pleasantly, the men almost without
exception behave gentlemanly when called
upon to work, they work hard without
grumbling. Our Quarterinaster and COM
missary department is well supplied with
the best Of stores and is ably conducted
under the supervision of Lieut.. j. NJ.
Shaw.
five remain here this winter I expect
we shall have tour west in the spring.
You are probably full better posted in re-
gard to our Indian matters than we. The
Lieut.. Col. keeps his head quarters at Sank
Center with Capt. Farquharson, thirty
miles from here. We have here part Of
Capt Swans company with the hospital.
We expect the frost TO shut us out from
the rest of the world soon.
Yours truly. z G. Scorr.

Specia1 10 Herald. rebels in pos
session Of Fredericksburg have demanded
lime to consider the question Of its sur
render. On Friday night after the inter
view vita the civil authorities, Gen. Sum
ner informed them that if they had any
flather communication to present, Gen.
Iatrickwould meet them again the next
morning. On Saturday accordingly the
Mayor anil Council came over, accompan-
led BY Gen. Kershaw, Col. Blood and
Capt. King, of Georgia. The officers
claimed that the civil authorities could
make no proposition unless the same was
accepted by them. Gen. Patrick declined
to receive these officers, subsequently how
ever Gen. Burnside assented to their recep-
ton, and the parties returned.
Tbe civil authorities asked for an exten-
sion Of the time allowed for the removal
of women and children, alleging that the
trains had been frightened off by our ar
tiery, and that 1t would be impossible for
train to Leave before night, the city being
absolutely deS re of other means of trans
portation. Their request was complied
with, and the time extended until | o'clock

CoNscRrprIoN OF sLAyEs.-The Rich

CoNscRIPTIoN OF SLAyEs.--The Rich
mond Examiner of Oct. 18th says:
at appears that shareholders are averse
for some reason to hire their negroes in the
Confederate army. The prejudice is GER
tainly an ignorant and mean one. As the
war originated and is carried on in great
part for the defense Of The Shareholder in
his property rights and the perpetuation
Of the institution, 1t il Reasonable to sup
pose that he ought to be the first and fore
most in aiding and assisting, by every
means in his power, the triumph and sue
cess of our arms. Good wages are offered
and ptoper care and attention viii be given
every negro hired 10 the army, and the
stakeholder ought to remember that for
every negro he thus furnishes, he puts a
soldier in the ranks"
This rebel newspaper evidently disagrees
with those conservative" gentlemen Of the
North, who hold that Slavery hasn't any,
thing to do with this war, and that the
"nigger' must be 'kept out until the war
is oyer."-Ldd. Democrat.

Swans company to hare voted as report

from other companies which place Mr..
Horton considerably aheac, though per

a. Connecticut boasts of some great
farmers. They have curious way of do
ing things con shares" and the results of
these operations sometimes offer a fine
field for the display of logic. One of
their farmers leased to his son-in-law
three acres of land to be planted with
corn and cultivated by him at the halves
In the fall the lessee said that was the
poorest land he ever worked on; for, said
he, +" | worked hard all summer, and at
harvest-time, when We came to divide the
crop, / not only had no corn left for my
self, but | had to go and buy five bushels
Of shelled corn to make out my fathcr-in-
laws half"
Here is another case illustrating the
workings of this peculiar institution" of
doing things on shares Farmer A hap
pened to have more pigs than he could
keep. while his neighbor B, had more
milk than he could dispose Of. One day
A brought two pigs over and deposited
them in BIS pen, saying that he wished
B to keep them on shares, and that he
might keep them two months and have
one Of them as bis share. B replied that
as he had plenty Of feed, he would keel
them four months and have them both
as, of course, that would amount to th,
same thingl A left, saying that he sup
posed it was oil right; but guessed b,
wouldn't bring any more.
