Small Thoughts on Small Things by a
Small Writer

In this, our age and country, the age
of two-forty horses and two-ffty railroads
of tineannhilating mail carriers and au-
tomaton tailors in this land of fast nags
and still faster men, we are too apt to lose
sight of the Importance of the common oc-
currences of life.
we too often sheer at whatever does
not come up to Young Americas esti-
mate of greatness, and consider it as lead
ing to no important results. But a care
ful and candid consideration of the past
and present, cannot fail of bringing US to
the very opposite conclusion. In fact.
We may say the proudest and most epdur-
ing masterpieces of both God and man Of
ten arise from apparently insignificant cir
eumstances. The oak; proud monarch
OF the forest springing from tie puuv
acorn, plants its roots deeply into the bo
som of the earth. aud is enabled to raise
Its branches high in air, and withstand
the blasts of centuries. and the silent vet
more corrosive action of ever DESTROYING
time. The Roman empire. /" the queen of
the world, was planted by a leader, fol-
lowed by few illiterate men, and once
saved from impending doom by the cack-
ing OF few friendly disposed GEESE
When we observe the trifing causes
which led to the discovery of the great law
OF gravitation which alike propels an ap-
pie to earth or sustains the cirolinp nlanats
IN their never ending orbits; or the power
OF steam, which spurs on the iron horse y
over our smiling valleys and our fertile
prairies, when We reflect upon these and

kindred discoveries and inventions, we are
inevitably led to the conclusion that great
effects are often produced by little causes

Their Bravery.

We have yet to hear of the least indica-
ton of cowardiee exhibited by any of car
officers in command at the late fight on the
Tennessee. In allowing themselves to be
surprised they committed an objectionable
military mistake, but when the fight COM
menced. every officer in the army, from
the commanding General down to the Lieu
tenants and Sergeants, showed themselves
brave and fearless.
And none of the regiments can really be
charged with cowardice. 1t is true that.
from the suddeness and severity of the at
tack, some of the less experienced regi-
ments faltered, and one or two even ran
away but too much must not be expec-
ted OF raw troops when hard pressed by
an overwhelming force. All things con-
sldered, our officers and men at Pittsburg
Landing behaved themselves as well as
could have been expected under the cir
cumstances and most of them exhibited q
degree of heroic pluck that would compare
favorably with the behavior in action of
any army that has ever been engaged in
the battles of the world.
The more we hear of the terrific charac-
ter of this terrific battle, the more we won
der that our forces were not completely
routed. The fact that the rebels had ac-
tually wen the field, and tLen ingloriously
lost 1t. destroys much of the prestige of
Beauregard as great General CHICAGO

Lines Written on the Death Of Little
Charlie.

Thy little form has gone to rest,
And is free from every care,
God called his lovely one to bless
In better world afar.
We loved thee; all ! too fondly
To lay thee in the grave,
And we wept that one so lovely
No earthly power could save.
But we would not, tho we mourn thee,
Call thee from that radiant shore,
Hoping rapturously to greet thee.
When these parting seen es are Ger.
There to dwell with angels ever,
And be guided by Gods hand,
In land where naught can sever
Ties that bind the Christian band.

A RUINED CoUNTRY.-One of the favor
lite fallacies Of the South was that the
whole foreign trade of the country was
founded on the production and consump-
tien of the South, but the revenue
receipts of late explode that fallacy. The
receipts from customs last week amount to
over two millions of dollars. Thus, in the
midst of war, commerce remains not only
in an uninterrupted but in fourishing
condition. The exports during the last
year were, as is we'll known, unusually
large; and now the influx Of foreign COM
modlties is sufficient to yield very hand
some revenue.

er varieties must be laid and covered thro'
the winter. This way may be somewhat
troublesome, but then most kinds do not
require this extra labor. The Clinton,
splendid grape for table use. needs no
such care. And there are several native
varieties, almost or quite equalto the Gin
ton,which requi e no laying in the severest
winters,
The natural location of the vine is the
rocky bill side, with just enough soil in
termlxed with the rocks to retain the
roots. Such places have commonly a
deep mould and dry under bed Grape
trenches should be dug deep and filed with
stone. rubbish, decayed wood, straw or
other loose material in decomposing cor
dition, the trench ahording a good under
drainage Where this is not convenient,
deep spading and ridging should be prac-
ticed.

A SUPPLY OF COTTON. -The fall of Fort
Pulaski must bring down the price of cot
ton. 1t opens the way for our gunboats
to Savannah, and whatever it's defenses,
it is quite impossible that it could long re-
sist an attacking force by land and river.
Perhaps there is but one more important
city in the South, and that is New Orleans.
1t commands an extensive system cf rail
roads--no less than thirteen in number
which ramify In all directions to the North,
South and West. As center Of the cot
ton commerce Of the Cuff States it is no less
important. A half million of bales are an
nually shipped from that port.

Governor Harvey, the Lieutenant Cover
nor, Hon. Edward Solomon, of Milwaukee,
becomes Governor and Will serve the bal
ance of the term, which will not expire
until December 31st 1868. Though Gov.
Solomon has had but little experience in
public matters, we have no doubt he will
fill the office to which has been so provi-
dentially called, with ability. He is a
lawyer by profession, and those who know
him best claim that he possesses all the
requisites for popular, honest and capa-
bic executive. We sincerely trust and be-
lieve that he will be found equal to the
emergency.

THE OTHER QUESTION.

In an article Of a columns length, we,
the other day, discussed the question.
VIII negroes explode?" aud proved, we
think conc1uavely, that unless held in a
state Of seryitude just one degree removed
from downright barba1ism, they are one
ct the most incffensive Of races, with
many gifts OF patience, humility, obedience
and cheerfulncss that their superiors
might envy. But our trouble was for
naught The question that ought to have
been argued is this, VIII negroes cause
White men to explode Pa question that,
considering the spasms, indicative Of dis
solution, into which sund1y Journals con
Quoted by white men are tormented by the
coming Of handful Of blacks into Illinois,
has, just now, great pertinence, "There's
a niggcr 1oose!' is form of expression
that used to throw half the Democratic
party into commissions Now, there have
been full four hundred niggers loose and at
Cairo, too, that pfous spot in which the
latter day Democracy Of the secession
stripe is most at home; and our readers
can imagine the dangerous condition inio
which the tirein-the-rear journals are
thrown. VIII negroes cause white men to
explode: is in fair way to be tested. Let
al delicate men stand aside. There will
be bad smell in Illinois if the explosion
takes place. The bud whisky, old stale
lies, spoiled logic aud tainted morality Of
the men who are swelling up, cannot be
spread over any one State without causing
an oder ranker than that which Chicago
river gave forth in its nastiest days,

LET GRANT LOOSE.

It is the opinion Of one Of the best STRAIT
egists in the West that if the victory at
Cprinth has been so decided as to seriously
cripple the rebel army in that quarter, the
way BY Columbus, Jackson, Corinth, Iuka
and Decatur is now open for the re-occu-
patton Of the line from Decatur to Steyen-
son, the front that Buell. abandoned. and
that once on it, our army can compel
Bragg, Kirby Smith, and Humphrey Mar
shall, to fall back through Cumberland
Gap, or run the risk of the defeat and CAP
tu1e Of their entire forces. Thirty thous-
and additional men sent to Grant, would
cnabie him to reach Decatur in week,
and there he could not, his communications
beirg kept open, be disposscsscd. From
Columbus to Corinth, the railroad is in
good order, and from Corinth to Decatur
is hardly hundred miles, along which the
road could be speedily repaired. We
move that Grant be let loose He can
take Chattanooga in month, and before
the winter rains set in, can be well on his
way to tic Gulf At any rate, in this falls
CAMPAIGN he can cut tue Confvderacv

THE OLD KEGIEIE ENTS.

After, what shall we do for money to
carry on the war? the question which will
first engage tile attention Of Congress will
be, How shall we fill up the old regiments
Of volunteers? It is troublesome one to
answer. That they can be filed by new
recruits, except by the offer Of bountics
that ntl,hcr the Federal Government nor
the States can afford to pay, is improbable.
The Federal Constitution aud most Of tile
State Constitutions stand in the way Of a
draft for that purpose. We see nothing left
but consolidation; and that is a thug
to which all men who understand the value
Of 1egimental pride in the army, will be
slow to resort. But can We go on as we
art geing row? The average Of the rcgi-
ments that have been a year II the service
is not five hundred men; and we have.
such as they are, twice as many comuais-
Stoned officers, receiving large pay, as are
demanded by the number Of men in the
field. To consolidate will, if the console
dation be made with wisdom and without
fayoritism, weed out Of the service
thousands Of heroes with shoulder
straps who have proved their in-
competency for the places they fill; but it
will demorallzc the men9 II belong to

pride with the privates Of that regiment,
and to humble that pride ~ oblitcratiue

each Of ~lom would, so great is their
esprit d" corps, refuse commission in anv
other II gimcnt than bis own, and for rcas-
ons that are satisfactory and conclusive
at least to them. This pride in the
past and this hope in the future cau-
not be tampercd with by any rude or un-
skilful hands. But skeletons in the
army are as hateful as skeletons in the
closet, and something must be done. What
slsll that something s:c? We suggest to
men ot sense and experience, who are able
to appreciate the motives which shape
soldiers action, and the conditions prccc-
delt TO the successful organization of an
arn'y, the carly solution Of the problem
over which the next Congress must debate,
sotAd the civilians Of that body may not
