The Philadelphia Press says that among
the cheering signs of the times is the an
nOuncemept that more than two millions
of dollars were received from customs
last week. Thus, in the midst of war,
commerce remains not only in an unin-
terrupted but in a flourishing condition.
The exports during the last year were, as
is well known, unusually large; and now
the influx Of foreign commodities is suf-
ticient to yield a very handsome revenue.
1t was one of the fayorite fallacies of the
Southern statesmen that oearly the whole
foreign trade of the country was founded
on the productions and the consumption
of the South-an idea very completely
exploded by the receipts. referred to
above at a time when trade with most of
the slave States is suspended, and by the
enormous list Of weekly exports from
New York and other Northern ports. 1t
would be curious to see statement Of
the receipts of the Southern Conleder-
acy' from the secession tariff that was
osientatiously established some months
ago. 1t is doubtful whether a single
rebel custom house has collected enough
to pay the expenses Of sustaining it
which were authorized while the author
ity of the Union was acknowledged not
,yithstaudug the assertion OF Mason,
Sidell, Yancey Il Co. that our blockade
is ineffective, and the shallow pretence
that the South formerly consumed the
chief portion Of the foreign exports of
the country.

\ Juvenile Offenders in Large cities.
Every one at all familiar is aware that
in all large cities great numbers Of chill
dren arc habitually raised to crime.
From infancy they are sedulously taught
the arts Of theft, pocket picking, lock-
picking, house breaking, and mendicancy
by villains who profit by their practice
Not unfrcqucnily parents employ their
own children for their nelaious purposes.
1t is not surprising that the great ma
iority Of criminals are comparatively
young. II is rare that they attain even
middle life This class Of offenders has
given rise TO various excellent reiorma-
tory institutions, established by law, into
which these young thieves AFRO placed,
and by a course of discipline, at once
kind and firm, are frequently rescued
from a life Of degradation. This train
OF thought has been suggested by the

a very light stock now in the hands of packers.

An Anecd0te OF Commodore FOote.
We find the following anecdote Of Com
modors Foots in the Christian Advocate
and Journal Of last week
It Is we'll known that whisky forms part
Of the rations supplied to men in the navy,
the wisdom Of which may well be called
into question A saving clause allows
each sailor to commute his whisky ration
fer money. Many do this, but BY far the
largest number answer to the whisky roll,
and with evident satisfaction gulp down
all the law allows. At the commencement
Of cruise, Commodore Foote called the
Chaplain to his state-rooIn, aud told him
that be desired to form q temperance soci-
ETY. on board Of the vessel. The Chaplain
thought the object good one, but the sue
cess Of the experiment he very much doubt
cd. His doubts we're much greater when
the Commodore told him be meant 70 make
old Brown President, if agreeable to the
others. Now, old Brown had for many
years been a follower Of the seas, and had
imbibed such quantities Of bad liquor that
his nose plainly told Of the excess Of his
drinking; and, In answer to the Chaplain's
doubts about securing the concurrence Of
or mind have already spoken to Brown
on the subject, and be enters heartily into
the scheme, and consents to be President
Of our society" re
The meeting was called and the Society
was formed; and so perSevering were the
Efforts Of this noble officer, and those whom
he inspirited with the good work, that eve
~ officer and man on board Of that vessel
signed the pledge Of total abstinence, and
atthe first port that the good and now safe
bark touched, all the ~. s." stores Of
whiskey were stored on account Of the gov
ernment. The cruise was finished without
one drop Of whisky rations; and no doubt
the crew was much better able to perform
their duty and to endure hardships than
when they daily imbibed that which was
calculated to destroy both body and soul.
It may be well asked what can one man do?
or rather what cannot he do when, with the
spirit Of love and charity to animate him,
be works with a will in his Masters
cause.

- Contrabands b Kansas.

The following letter gives an interesting
report of the condition Of the fugitives who

J. S. NEwBERRY, NJ. Dig Dear Sir !;
promised to drop you line as soon as I
had made myself fully acquainted with the
condition and the wants of the eontrabands
in Kansas. now, after the expiration Of
more than than two months, make good
that promise. I intended to have written
you long ere this, but I could not till now
write you anything definite, When ar
rived here in April there was much desti-
tutiOn and suffering among the fifteen
hundred fugidves who had cOngregated in
and around this city during the past win
ter But as the vigors Of winter and early
spring gave place to the mildness Of sum-
mer, and business was opened, all able
bodied men and women found remunera-
tiveemployment Most Of the cOntrabands
worked well and faithfully, and were
very soon able to supply their own neCes-
sites. Several boxes Of clothes and some
money were sent here by parties east for
the benefit Of these people. So their physi-
cal sufferings soon passed away. There is
now but little or no suffering among them.

In the day school there are l8S children
and youth, in the two Sabbath schools
about $40 persons, and in the night school
81 adults, These schools are free to all
eoatrabands. There are two teachers in the
day and night schools. The fugitives
show great anxiety as well as great apt

tLIBERALrTY OF PHYsICIAYs.--It has al
ways been said that physicians would dis
parage any remedy, however valuable
which they did not originate themselves.
This has been disproven by their liberal
course towards Dr.. ]. c. Ayers prepara-
tions. They have adopted them into gem
eraI use in their practice which shows
willingness TO countenance articles that
have intrinsic merits which serve their at
tsnfion. This does the learned profession
great credit, and effectually contradicts the
preTalent erroneous notion that their op-
position to proprietary remedies is based
in their interest TO discard them. We have
aiWays had confidence in the honorable
motives Of our medical men, and are glad
to find it sustained BY the liberal welcome
they accord to such remedies as Ayers
Cherry Peotoral and Cathartic Pills, even
though they are not ordered in the books,
but are made known to the people through
the newspapers-Nsi Orleans Delta.
