IMPORTANT TO HEIRS OF DECEASED
SoLDIERs.- learn from Second Aud
itor French that numerous cases occur in
which the heirs Of deceased soldiers are
cruelty defrauded by parties acting as
claim agents AMI collecting back pay aud
bounties. In some instances these claim
sharks exact from the widow or OTHER heir
half, or even more, of the amount due, q
proportion atrociously il excess Of the val
ue of the services rendered.
In view of these practices, it is better
for claimants, as a general thing, to cor
respond directly with the Government.
A circular has been prepared, contain ng
all necessity information and forms; aud
all hostages on communications ID regard
to these matters are paid by the Depart
nent. Any claimant, therefore, can send
to the seconl Auditors Office, without ex-
pense, md obtain such information as viii
enable him or her to prepare and transmit
the necessary papers, and secure the pay
nent direct Of the amount due as soon as
il can legally be made.

Ey An abel writer says: IL have ever
found that men who are really most fond
of the society Of ladies, who cherish for
them, high respect, nay, reverence them.
are seldom most popular with the sex.
Men of more assurance whose Tongues are
loosely hung, who make words supply tht,
place of ideas, any place compliment in the
room Of sentiment, are the fayorites. A
true respect for woman leads TO respectful
actions toward them; and respect is usually
distant action, and tLis great distance is
taken by them for neglect and wait Of IN
terest."

LONGITUDINAL RIvERs.-A river that
runs east or west crosses no pararrell of
latitude, consequently, as it flows towards
the sea, it docs not chang eits climate, and
being in the same climate, the crops that
are cultivated at its mouth are grown al
so at It's source, and from one end to the
other of il there is no variety of produc-
tons: it is all wheat and corn, or VINE,
or oil, or some other staple. Assorted
cargoes, therefore, cannot be made up from
the produce which such river brings
down to market. On the other hand a
river that runs north or south crosses par
alleIs Of latitude, changes its climate at ev-
cry turn; and as the Traveller descends it
be sees new agricultural staples abounding.
Such a river bears down 10 The sea a va
riety Of productions, some Of which some
one or another of the different nations Of
t earth is sure to want, and for which
each one will send TO the market at its
4 outh, or the port whence they are dis
tributed over the world The assortments
Of merchandise afforded by such river
are the life of commerce They give it
energy, activity and scope. Such river
is the Mississippi, AMI the Mississippi is
the only such river in the world.

HurFah for Goldfish.

When we see young man dressed in
the extreme Of fashion promenading the
streets, fiourishing delicate walking stick,
oglng the ladies, ard turning up his inter-
esting proboscis, with an air of disdain az a
neighbor's son or daughter, when we know
that his father acquired Improperly which
bis fool Of a scr is making himself ,idicu-
lous upon, BY collecting grease ana ashes, we
are tempted 10 shout in his asinine ears,
"Hurrah for Goldfish"
When wesee young woman whose high
est ambition appears to be a desire to eclipse
her neighbors in dress, and who makes il
her constant boast that she never washed a
dish or hemmed a shirt, because she regards
A as a vulgar accomplishment, we feel M
INCLINATION to whisper in her ear, "Hurrah
for Goldfish"
When we see young man too proud to
carry bundle in The street, when we know
his father is wood sawyer, or, when we see
a young miss seated in she parlor, perusng
novel, while ma is doing the kitchen
drudgery, we say to ourself, "Hurrah for
Goldfish"
When we hear lady protest Chat she
ca~not liGe in an omnibus because it was
intended for common folks, we cannot
help exclaiming to ourself, 'Hurrah for cod
fish,"
When we see a lady arrayed in the cost
lest fabrics treat with contempt school
mate whose clothing is not of so itch tex
ture, especially when we remember that
some Of the aforesaid lady's relatives are
inmates Of the poolhouse, and others Of
the State prison, we feel strong desire
to thunder in her ears, "HuTah for cod-
fish,"
When we hear man Boosting Of bis an
cestry and taking unwonted pains 10 display
lis pretended coat Of arms, which he has
stolen from some old book Of heraldry, we
laugh as we say to ourself, "Hurrah for
goldfish"
When we see an elegant carriage dash
ing through the street with heradic de-
vices emblazoned on its trappings, with a
coachman and footman decked out in a
sort Of livery, and especially when we
know that its aristocratic proprietor made
his money by vending "purely Vegetable
pills. which were nothing mole or less than
dried peas, we exclaim, "Hurrah for cod
fish,"
In short when we see people putting on
naughty airs, because it has pleased Proyi-
dence to endow them with liberal shaae Of
the worlds goods, or when we see the SUI
pereihous sneer of contempt upon the face
Of a person to show his or her estimation
Of one who works for her living, we feel a
strong desire to show our estimotion Of
them by exclaiming in their ears, "HuTah
OF goldfish"
We are thankful that aristocracy in this
country has always been at discount, and
We hope 1t always will be, and can only
pity the silly, soft contemplate man or wo-
man who may be foolish enough to mag
inc for moment that to be member
Of an exclusive class is the supreme height
Of human felicity though morey may,
like charity, cover a multitude Of sins.

Gg Tue following incident is related as
recently occurring in the Southwestern
army:
"a negro boy gave information to Col
oneI--that his regiment, which was
in an exposed position on detached service,
was to be cut off by large rebel force.
The colonel at once changed bis position
and met the rebels with such determined
front that they did not dare make an at
tack. He gave the boy the liberty of ms
camp. A f-w bays later the owner OF
the boy made his appearance with an or
der from Gen. Buell. to give up tn boy to his
master The Col. read the order, turned i
over. and wrote this endorsement: Go
to- Tie man took the order and de-
parted. 1t is not known what course he
pursued; whether or not he has obeyed the
instructions Of the Col who declared that
the bow would never be surrendered while
he DR. his regiment had an arm to strike IN
his defense.
Gen. Buell. has not been heard from since
the issui ne cf his order"

A SAFE CHURoH-The New York

Of that city says:
The persistent energy work which a
great many members Of this Convention
wish to do nothing and study 10 say moth

Judge in Northern New York, whose stoliJ
conversation was a miracle Of perfection.
Being man Of influence, wealth and fani-
", he found i necessary to join church.
He pondered for a long time, and finally
selected the Protestant Episcopal Institu-
ton. Upon being questioned for lis
choice, he replied, triumphantly "You
see was perfectly safe in joining the Epis-
copal Church, for it never NEEDLES with
either temperance, morals, politics, or re-
ligion."

Norfolk is Ours.

It's Surrender to General WoOt-Ftcc
Thousand Federal Troops in Posses
sion.
WASHINGTON, Mey 1.-THE follow
ing was received at the war department
this morning:
FoRTREss MONROE, May 10-12
O'Clock, midnight. Norfolk is ours, and
also Portsmouth and the navy yard.
General Wool, having completed the
landing of his forces at Willoughby
Point about o'clock this morning, CON-
menced his march on Norfolk with 5000
men. Secretary Chase accompanied the
General.
About five miles from the landing
place a rebel battery was found on the
opposite side Of the bridge over Tan
ner's Creek, and after firing a few dis
charges upon two companies Of infantry
that were in the advance, the rebels
burned the bridge. This compelled our
forces to march around five miles fur
ther.
At five o'clock in the afternoon our
forces were within a short distance of
Norfolk, and were met by delegation
of citizens.
The city was formally surrendered.
Our troops were marched in, and now
have possession.
Gen. Viele is in command as Military
Governor.
The city and Navy yard were not
burned The fires which had been seen
for some hours, proved to be woods on
fire.
General Wool with Secretary Chase
returned about II o'clock tonight.
Gen. Huger withdrew his forces with
out battle.
The Merrimac is still off SewalI's
Point.
Commander Rodgers expedition was
heard from this afternoon ascending the
James river.
The iron-clad steamer Galena had
sunk the rebel steamer Yorktown, and
captured the jamestown.
Reports from Gen. Mcclellan are ia
vorable. (Signed)

state, and question which would, we be.
lieve, be no question at all were it not fol
our old, and we think foolish, rule Of
limiting each senator's term of service ia
two terms. We have never had any
personal acquaintance with Senator Foot
and we have no personal interest what
ever in his reflections but we are not
unacquainted with his history as public
man, and we sincerely believe it would
be most injurious to our interests to adj
here, at this time to that foolish rule Of
periodical rotation in an Office Of so
much Importance as that Of United
States senator, a rule that would turn out
in the very prime of life, and in the full
tide of usefulness, man of long expe-
rlence of great political and social in6u
ence, and of the most distinguished par
liamentary ability, and substitute in bis
place some rae hand. We have abun-
dance of able men in the state whom the
people would delight to honor, but not
one we believe whose ability is sufficient
to supply that want of experience so en-
inently essential to skill and usefulness
as legislator. We believe it best, there
fore, to let very well, and more than very
well, alone and to insist that Senator
Foot, whether he desires it or not, shall
remain at the post he so worthily holds,
and give to our state the aid Of his great
experience in untanging the Gordian
knot of difficulties into which this accur-
sed rebellion has twisted all our interests.
We believe the people of Orleans Coun-
ty will be almost unanimously of our
opinion.

Ga In letter TO the Philadelphia In
quirer, Parson Browulow, after denying
the statement that his wife and family
are attached to secessionism, makes the
following earnest appeal for aid to the
Unionists of East tennessee:
1.-The work of murder, arrests, and i'm
prisonment goes bravely on in East Ten
nessee, as my family inform me, who left
Knoxville the latter part Of last week.
They were shooting Union men down in
the streets, arresting hundreds, and shoot
down fifty or sixty in one instance after
they had surrendered and were under
arrest. They marched betweon three
and four hundred through the street, with
some OF them barefOoted and their feet
bleeding, taking them to the depot and
shipping them to Atlanta, Ga, to work
upon their Notifications These men,
denied water, would lift out Of the mud
puddieS of the street with their hands,
after a rain. what they could to quench
their thirst.
In Gods name, call upon President
Lincoln, and upon his Cabinet and army
officers, to say how long they will suffer
loyal people, true to the Union and to
the government of their fathers, to suffer
in this way? The Union men of East
Tennessee are largely in the majority,
say three to one-but they have no arms
they are in the jails of the country
they are working on rebel Notifications
like slaves under the lash, and no federal
force has ever yet been marched into that
oppressed and down-trodden country
Let the government, if it has any regard
for its obligations, redeem that country
at once, and liberate these people, no
matter at what cost of blood and treas
ure.
They have suffered these outrages for
the last twelve months, and are now de-
spending, nay, despairing of any relief.
Let an army-'a terrible army with ban
ners'-gO at once into East Tennessee,
and back up the loyal citizens, while the
latter shoot and hang their prosecutors
wherever they can find them"
