A WFE's PowER.-The power of a wife for
gooo or evil, is irresistible. Home must be
'he seat OF happiness, or it must bc forever
unknown. good wife is to a man, wisdom
ana courage, and strength and endurance.
bad 0ne1S confusion, weakness, discontinue,
and despair. No condition is hopeless where
the wife possesses tiimness, decision and econ
omy. There is no outward prosperity which
can counteract Incidence, eXtravagance and
folly at home. No spirit can long endure bad
domestic influence. Man is strong, but his
heart is not adamant. He delights in enter
prise and action; but TO sustain him he needs
tranquil mind. and whole b cart. He needs
his moral force in the conflicts Of the world.
To recover his equanimity aud composure,
home must be TO him place OF repose, Of
peace, of cheerfulness, OF comfort and his
soul renews his strength again, and goes forth
with fresh yigor to encounter the labors and
troubles Of. lie. But if at home be finds no
rest, and there met with bad temper, sullen-
ness or gloom, or is assaied by discomfort or
complaint, hope vanishes, and he sinks into
despair.

ANOTHER FINE SOUTHERN HARBoR.-Prof.
Bache of the Coast Survey, reports that next
TO Port Royal, ST. Helena Sound is the best
harbor the Southern coast. Two channels
OF seventeen feet each at mean low water, en-
ter it, and from the Sound the country may be
penetrated by gunboats nearly to the railroad.
The width of the Sound renders all IFS shores
healthy, all are freely reached by the sea
breeze, and Otter Island especially is finely
situated fora settlement and commercial town.
If ever other interests than planting ones rule
in this region, he looks TO see its commercial
advantages made use of, and the lumber from
the heads of the AsbepOo and Combahee ind
a market nearer these great rivers than either
Charleston or Savannah.

WHAT 1T CosT TENGLAND.-America, since
the commencement of the rebellion, has been
making the European nations realize, very
uncomfortably for some OF them, the magni-
tude Of the interests involved in the relations
she sustains towards them, both commercially
and politically. Look at the case with refer
ence TO England alone. The chancellor OF
the EXcheqner, in his recent speech on the
Budget, states that the dispatch of troops to
America, in view of possible war with the
United States, Cost 81 ,2j0 900. Besides this
loss to Great Britain, resulting from civil
war, it may be stated that in 1860 the exports
to the United States amounted to Sl08, $780,
600; in 1861 they fell to S45 .290, ,000-dimi
mutton in one year S63 0i5 900.

PRIZE MoNEY.-The share of prize money
which accrues to the Navy Department from
the prizes taken during the war, amounts al
ready to a very great sum, sufficient TO cover
large part of the outlay of the department in
purchasing vessels tor the blockadIng fleet.
Our ships have been very fortunate of late
in making captures; iand as the vessels attempt
ing to run the blockade are general laden
with extremely valuable cargoes, every prize
adds largely to the fund. OF course our sea-
men and officers must be making very hand
some profits. Many of the officers and ordi-
nary seamen make several hundred dollars
each, by cruise oil few weeks or months.

WELL PUT.-The Boston Journal hits the
nail on the head when it says sSNot tenth
part OF all the local news which transpires in
any country town finds its way into the city
newspapers. and he who takes the latter TO the
exclusion of his own town or county paper,
does not fulfill his duty citizen" And
might add that no who does not take
a county paper is not fit to hold county or
township office, as he is ignorant OF what IS
going on IN his own neighborhood or county
seat.

CorroS RAISING IN THE MIDDLE STATES
DR.. q. Emerson, of Philadelphia, has publish
ed a pamphlet on the cultivation Of cotton In
the Middle States, which he says was success
fully done long before the Southern States
took up its regular culture, and which declin-
ed only because other crops proved more prot
table. On the peninsula between Delaware
aud Chesapeake Bays 1t was hrst cultivated,
whence it was carried over into Virginia, and
subsequently into the so.called Cotton States.
In some parts Of Delaware there are isolated
cases OF its cultivation even at this day, aud
the plant perfectly natures. The cotton
grown in the middle States is the green seed
upland, or short staple. The Doctor thinks
that IL the farmers in Delaware and Maryland
were to put portion Of their land in cotton,
that at the present prices it would pay better
than in grain. at its present and prospective
low prices No more skill Is required than
in raising corn, and the picking, drying aud
ginning are simple processes that common
hands can perform.

AUsraALIA.-The last British Blue Book
which has reached Washington contains the
dispatches from the Governors of Victoria,
South Australia and Queensland, relative TO
the expeditions by Burke and Wills, of tho
continent of Australia. The discoveries of
these men have brought 10 light an immense
area OF fertile and beautiful territories which
has for two hundred years been considered
rocky, bowling wilderness. What has hereto
fore been a great blank on the map Of Austria
liza, now promises TO become a new and pros
porous colony of the British Empire. Both
of the enterprising men who thus served their
country so noby, perished in the midst of
their labors; their names in full were Robt.
o. Hara Burke and William John Wills, and
their remains and papers were dicovered by
an exploring party, commanded by son of
William and Mary Hewitt. The explorers
alluded to were assisted by two men named
King and Gray, the first OF whom was the
only survivor.
