QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY.-Alexauder the
Great, with orfy 10000 Greeks at bis heels,
forced the passage Of the Granic'ts, though
opposed by an army of PersianS amounting
to 100000 fighting men, with Darius Co.
domannus at their head and Alexander
effected this with the loss of only 80 horses
and 400 men. He afterwards overturned
the vast empire of Persia, and overran half
the globe, with little or no opposition, owing
to the determinations and luxuries which
prevailed, and which had so enfeebled the
bodies and onefvated the courage of the peo-
pie, that the ysyfiors of the East were llttle
better than young giFls OF old women.

TIE Rtt1NG PAssIoN.-Old fra Thornton
was dreadful mean man, and had difficult
ty, sometimes, in drawing his breath, because
he begrudged the air neces sary for that
operation. One DAY the old fellow was at
work upon the high beams Of his barn, when
no lost his balance and fell heavily upon the
floor, twenty feet below. He was taken up
for dead, with fractured skull, and carried
into the house. All efforts to bring him to
consciousness were unavailing, and the doc
tor was called. Finally, the doctor having
trepanned him, turned and asked Mrs.
Thornton for silver dollar to put in where
the piece of skull was wanting. At this re-
mark, Ira, who had been breathing heavily,
turned in bed and ground out, "Wouldn It

The rebel list Of Federal prisoners at Rich
mond, published few'days since, is incorrect.
In the first place General Mccall is only
Brigadier, not Major General; secondly, Gen.
Sumner is not prisoner; thirdly, there is no
Brigadier General Rankin; fourthly, Brigadier
General Meade left Malvern Hill on James
River, on the steamer George Washington,
Tuesday evening, July 1, and arrived at Phil
adelphia several days later. He was not
wounded Sin the groin, )" but through the right
side-and very severely.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Evening Post

ging for little tea thai she might once more en-
Joy the household beverage. 1t is proposed to
send down through the lines and give the old
lady a small present of coffee, tea, and sugar
AZ it is not possible that she is in any way
concerned in the rebellion, for the sake of the
memory Of her illhsuious uncle, it is probable
that she will soon discover that she has IN
ion friends at the capital.
Gen Isaiah Seymour, memorable for sharing

SHARP PRACTfcE.-A thief IT. Ehgland,
who had been watching an opportunity to
steal from a certain house, one day saw both
the owner and his wife go out, and immedi-
ately entered the premises to improve tho
opportunity. He proceeded up stairs and
seized feather bed, the only valuable arti4
Gle he could see, and commenced carrying it
down stairs, walking backward. When about
half way down, the owner entered the front
door, and exclaimed
Here, you rascal, what are you doing ?"
Taking this bed up stairs, SIR" was the
reply. "Mr. Jones, who says he is an old
friend of yours, and is coming to spend few
weeks with you, sent me here to bring his
bed.''
Mr.. Jones! I don't know Mr.. Jones.
What right has he to invite himself into my
house Clear out p
livery well, sir" replied the thief, com
ing down stairs with the bed, "but Mr.. Jones
will be powerful mad"
And away he went with his load, leaving
the family to discover their loss at bed time.

The Hudsoi, River steamboat Armenia conveyed
to the city from West Point on Saturday, General
Scott, accompanied by his serv aats carriage, and
baggage, under circumstances pointing to an early
residence at Washington. We have before init,
mated that President Lincoln has found the services
of tae old General a military dyiser, not to be
lightly dispensed with, aud the patriotic nclina-
tions of General Scott prompt him to accept almost
any honorable position near the President. in which
his long military experience may be Of benefit TO
the country.

The simple fact that, though 10 Republican

dents proposition with regard TO Slavery aud
Emancipation, must strongly tend TO predspose
the great majority in it. favor. The conflict
Ing views presented IN the House debate Of
Tuesday should strengthen thai prepOsscss on.
Mr.. Wicllfe OF kentucky declared that he
would not accept pay ment for his slayes in
case their enanc patton should be decrscd. In
this, no ID perfectly right, and spcoks Ike n
higf.minded gentleman. He is wealthy aud
extensive land proprietor, who viii be richer

was before. All that he loses in the price Of
his negroes WI DO more than made up to him
in the increased aud steadily ausmeniiug value
of his real estate. But there are persons whose
main If not sole wealth consists of slaves
some OF them widows or orphans who live upon
the earnings OF one or two slaves hired out in
Lousyille or Oh some plantation. 1t does not
follow that these should not receive some COM
pensstion because Mr.. Wicklide does not need
nor require any.
Mr. Bldd,e Of Pennsylvania commenced BY
au admission that bis vote against the PROPOSE

that it would require nearly million Of

OF Delaware alone. In other words, Mr.. Biddle
decides that $500 each should be paid to the
slayeholders of Delaware TO purchase their con-

Are the men who control our armies and the
movements of our troops aware that the South
srn States are hostile We should think not,
for they have actually sent from this city
within Il few days 200 Vermont troops on
board sailing vessels bound 10 Ship leland,
without round of ammunition. Only yester-
day they were prevented from doing the same
thing In the case OF the 9TH Vermont Regi-
ment by the Intervention OF outside parties,
who, at their own risk. supplied tue ammuni.
ton. A similar instance occurred last week,
when the 10th Connecticut Who were about 10
depart, were obliged to rely upon their friends
for ammunition. Did 1t occur to tho Unitei
States officers charged with the forwarding of
these troops that the vessels might get ashore.
