tionist-Who will admit nothing, take
nothing for granted, however palpable,
But who cottpe.s god to te-estabish pat

have been settled for Hbes. The best
way to deal with one OF these infinilesi-

WHAT rs A DARLING

1t is the dear, little, beaming girl who
meets one on the doorstep; who filings
her fair arms around ones neck, and
kisses one with her whole soul Of love
who seizes ones hat, who relieves one of
ones coat, and hands the tea and toast
so prettily; who places her elfsh form at
the piano, and MARBLES forth, unsolicited,
such delicious songs; who casts herself
at ones footstool, and clasps ones hand,
and asks eager, unheard-of questions,
with such bright eyes and blushing face;
and on whose light, hossy curls one places
ones hand and breathes God bless her,
as the fairy form departs.
"ThE BEsT Thine ABOUT G1RL. -
The best thing about girl is cheerful
ness. We don't care Low ruddy her cheek
may be, or how yelvety her lips.-if she
wears a sGowl, even her friends will con-
slider her ill-looking; while the young
lady who illuminates her countenance
with smiles, will be regarded as hand
some, though her complexion be coarse
enough to grind nutmegs on. AS per
;ume is 10 the rose, so is goodness to the
lovely.

With no disposition to criticise military ope

lowing strange apology for General Shermau''
failure to advance, which We find In the Wash
ington Chronicle Of yesterday:
ut must be remembered that his force was
little larger Than one Of our divisions across
the Potomac, and that even 10 the event Of the
capture Of Charleston or Savannah, with the
long line Of communication we would have
been compelled 10 maintain, and an unfriendly
people around US, we could not have held the
position
Everybody knows that, Of the population oi

are our friends, or would be 80 If we would
only permit It. They bring us Intelligence and
food they are ready to work for us upon hard
fare and low wages; and they would fight for u,
with the desperation Of tigers rather than see our
forces driven of.
General Sherman is bimscll reported TO have
said that be could have twenty-five thousand
Of this friendly population within his lines in
one hour, Il he would only invite 1t, but thai
IL. time had mol vel co'e. Whether he said 50

and the people Of this country know il 10 be
so. General Sherman might have captured
both Charleston and Savannah long ago, if he
had not been restrained by the apprehension
Of damaging the institution Of slavery.
What is true there, is true here. There ha.
never been day, when the roads were pracii

have moved in triumph from Washington to
