-EnseleCtual FOrehandedness.

1t is an important element of all success
IN lie, TO acquire the habit of being before
hand with whatever you undertake. l can,
perhaps, best illustrate what mean by an
example taken from another branch of the
subject. Tbereyufe two friends. gentlemen
of larg means, whose estates and whose
annual incomes are about equal. One of
these is always short of money, buys eyerV-
thing on credit, and on the longest credit
that he can command, often when travelling
has to borrow money to take him home.
and really has to make as many turns and
shifts TO get along as If he were poor. .Au
because be lives inst twelve months on the
wrOng'side of his income. The other man.
whose annual income and expenses are
about the same as those of his neighbor.
never has an open account, buys every.
thing for'cash, always has plenty of mon.
ey in bis pocket, and a plenty more in bank
and is apparently without "a care 10 the
world, so far as money nlsconcerned All
simply because he lfves,just twelve months
on the right side of his income. The two
men have equal resources. In the course
of their lives they spend about equal
amounts. Yet the one is always poor and
harrassed, the other is always rich and at
his ease.
The picture has its counterpart in the
history of many professional men. Some
men in their intellectual disbursements are
always beforehanded and at their ease.
while others OF equal resources live habitu.
ally from hand to mouth. You will see an
editor scratching and scrambling for copy
at the very latest moment. and living, il IS
to be feared, in great dread OF the office
devil. You will see the professor quakiDg
over his uncompleted experiments, or his
half6nished manuscript, anxiously dread
ing The summons to lecture. You will see
the clergymen locking himself up on Sat.
urday, TO push through, under high pres
sure, the sermon that muet be delivered on
the morrow.
These all. and others like these, simply
in consequence of bad habit OF mental ac-
tion, pass through life in perpetual state
of discomfort and professional poverty.
Brain-work so done, is generally badly
done, beside, being done at a ruinous waste
of the life-force.

CANADA MONEY AT A PREMUM.-For the
first time in long period, the bank notes
issued by the Canadian institutions are
worth premium here, the bankers buying
among themselves at par. The reason for
this condition Of things is obvious. The
specie suspensions of many of The banks
Of this State, have largely enhanced the
value Of gold, the premium running
from three to five per cent. Canada bills
are worth the face of them in gold in Can
ada. and those merchants here who are
buying wheat or produce there. find them
quite as available. In this case. therefore,
it is an advantage to buy Canada bills rath.
er than gold, on this side, for use there, as
the business man saves precisely the differ
ence between the price of Canada bills and
gold. There being profitable margin, of
course the bills are preferable, and hence
their advance in value. Always good in
this city, Canada money becomes better
than our Own currency, condition of
things our British friends will be inclined
to be jubilant oVer-[Buhalo Republic.

A FIT COMPARISON, PERHAPs.- General
Peter G. Toutant Beauregard has written
letter to the Richmond Whig, in which be
compares himself to Alcibiades, and this has
prompted the Philadelphia Bulletin 10 over
haul the classical dictionaries, so as to dis
cover the points ofresemblance between the
Athenian and the Creole. 1t appears, from
the authorities referred to, that Alcibiades
was au officer IN the Athenian army, and
that, as things did not go altogether as be
wished, he stirred mp rebellion in Sparta.
He got up an army of Lacedamoniaus TO
make war against bis own Government. He
intrigued for an alliance with the king of
Persia. He had considerable success for
time, but finally betrayed the Spartans as
be bad betrayed the Athenians, and con-
trived to be forgiven and recalled to Athens
Thus be was double traitor, first 10 his own
country, and then to the cause Of the rebels
be bad ledlinto the field. He afterwards en-
deavored TO atone for bis in6delity to bis
country by gallant service; but the stigma
of treason clngs TO bis memory even now.
in spite Of his splendid abilities A plot was
laid to entrap him by the Spartans whom be
betrayed, and he was ignOminiously put TO
death. The reader will not fail to see the
features Of resemblance in the career of the
two traitors; and, when told by Beauregard
how much he admires the Athenian traitor.
be will not be surprised at his periidy. lie
is now in the position of Acbiades at the
time the rebellion Of the Spartans seemed
most to promise success, quarreling with
the generals and politicians that had trusted
to his integrity as well as bis valor.

KERosENE.-At recent meeting of the
New York Board of Fire Insurance, a very
interesting and full report of the Board of
underwriters was submitted, which set forth
that The substance known as petroleum,
rock oil, or earth oil, in its crude state las
1t is generally received,) is largely charged
with volatile matter Of highly inhamable
nature, aud therefore, when the gas gener.
ated therelr0m is mingled with air, il be-
comes dangerous in closed buildings from
the fact OF its becoming easi ignited. la
fire OF any considerable magnitude this
explosive gas would be generated in large
quantities, and the destruction of property
in compact portion of the city would be
very great. The Committee also find that
benzne, benzoe and naptha are exceed
ingly explosive and, when kept in quanti-
ties OF three barrels or less, In any building
should be placed in tho list of especial haz-
ards" aud charged as such; and when kept
10 larger quantities should be subject to the
same restriction and rates as crude petrole-
nm, rock oil and earth oil. The Commit
tee also recommend that manufactured coal
oil, refined petroleum oil, kerosene and
carbon oil, and all oils manufactured from
coal, rock or earth oil and petroleum, when
kept 10 less quantities than ten barrels be
classed as "eytra hazardous" and when
kept in larger quantities be classed as "spe-
cially hazardous" and charged as such.
After full discussion the suggestions con-
tanned in the report we're adopted, and it
was further resolved that the building con-
tanning the articles above named, and all
other merchandise therein, be charged at
the rates aforesaid.

THE Battle of Somerset.

Tne battle of Somerset, or Mill Spring,
KY, which was fought on the 10th of Janu.
ary, resulted in q brilliant victory of
the Federal troops over superior force of
rebels commanded by -ZoliicofFer, who was
killed in the engagement. On receipt of
the news. the Secretary of War issued the
following:
WAR DEPARTMENT, Ban. %, 1862.
2 The President, Commander.in4Chief of
the army and navy, has received inEorma-
tion of a brilliant victory achieved by the
United States forces over q large body of
armed traitors and rebels, at Mill Spring,
in the State of Kentucky. He returns
thanks to the gallant officers aud soldiers
who won that victory, and when the offic-
ial reports shall be received, the military
skill and personal valor displayed In bat
tie will be acknowledged and rewarded in
lifting manner. The courage that en-
cOuntered and vanquished the greatly SUI
perior numbers of the rebel force, pursued
and attacked them in their intrenchments
aud paused not until the enemy was COM
pletely routed, merits and receives com
mendation. The purpose of this war is to
pursue and destroy rebelious enemy and
to deliver the country from danger. Mem
aced by traitors, alacrity, daring, courage
Gus spirit and patriotic zeal on all occas-
ions and under every circumstance. are ex.
pected from the army of the United States.
10 The prompt and spirited movements aud
daring at the battle of Mill Spring, the ma
tion will realize its hopes, aud the people
of the United States will rejoice to honor
every soldier and officer who proves bis
courage by charging with bis bayonet and
storming intrencbments, or in the blaze of
the eHemy's Gre. By order of the Presi-
dent EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.

ally looked after by their State, it having
opened bank account with each one of
them. and regularly passes to their credit
81 a month. This sum may be checked for

on commanding elevation, and can be dis
tinctly seen for miles around. Four hundred
acres of land are embraced within the home

Presidential mansion From a house on the
same estate, as our cavalry were passing, the
children came down to the road and threw
stones at them while the ladies appeared at
the door waving a secession flag. The Major
sent five men to the house to take away The
flag. The ladies at first grumbed great
deal and refused to give it UP; but upon being
informed that resistance would be useless, they
complied with the request and resigned it,

Wood late jailor Of the Old Capitol prison
at Washington, whom General Wadsworth
appointed as commissioner, has apparently
made himself obnoxious, not only to the Con
federate authorities, but also to the War De-
partment at Washington. On his passes be

ny instances he has exceeded his instructions:
The Secretary of War expresses his dlsappro-
baton Of Mr.. Wood in the following telegraph
c dispatch to Lieut. Colonel VIM H. Ludlow
WASHINGTON, Oct 27, 1862
To Lieutenant Colonel " H. Ludl0W:
The Secretary Of War desires me to say that

change of prisoners, will not be recognized,
and you will so inform Mr. Ould. Adopt what
measures may be necessary for the leturn OF
Mr. Wood to this city,

Col. Ludlow has ordered Mr.. Wood to return,

POINT PLEASANT. (VA.) OCT 26--The

Virginia made short advance yesterday.
The weather was cold and very disagreable
We expected an immediate advance up the
Kanawha, but report having been received
that the enemy occupied Charleston in force,
and that our advance had driven back his cav
airy seven miles in that direction: it. became
necessary to make brief halt here. Soon af
ter our tents were pitched for the night, the
cold mist became a very disagreeable drizzly
rain, and large cam pfres were the only inviting
spots within the encampment. About mid
night we were in midwinter.
