From the Louisville JOu nal 10th
We learn that Col Dumont and Col HaggaYd
have returned to Nashville from Chattanooga
The latter place, after having been taken, was
abandoned for the want Of supplies, " hich il
was impossible to obtain, the supply steamboat
as well as the wagons, falling to arrive in time
Our forces that captured and occupied Chatta-
nOOga, are now at Shelbyville.
This is the statement that has been made 10
US, but possibly the rebel forces that recently
evacuated Cumberland Gap, msy have been ad-
vaneing upon Chattanooga in such strength that
our troops could not have kept the position even
if their supplies had been abundant.
Whatever the true state of the casa may have
been, we cannot but regret deeply that the absn
dOnment Of 50 exceedingly important q strategic
point as Chattanooga was found necessary. But

Mr.. John Erskine, Of ST. Louis, was

Not succeeding in this to his perfect sat

TINE FOR MISUNDERSTANDING the
ancient Germans, than whom finer race
never existed, it was death for any woman
to marry before she was twenty years
old. In this country, very few ladies are
fit either physically or mentally, to be.
come mothers before they reach the age
Of twcnty-two, or one or two years still
older. The unsouudcond dition and constitu.
tion of the mother is transmitted, with in
creased intensity to the offspring. BY
the laws of Lycurgus, the most special
attention was paid to the physical educa.
tion of woman; and no delicate or siokly
women were, on any account, allowed to
marry. DR.. johnson, in his work on the
Economy Of Health, says that matrimony
should not be contracted before the first
year of the fourth septennial, on the part
Of the lady, nor before the last year of
same, in the case of the gentleman; in
other words, the female should be at least
twenty-one years of age, and the male
twenty.eight years. The doctor says
that there should be difference of seven
years between the sexes, at whatever
period Of life the connection 10 contract.
ed. There is difference of seven years.
not in the actual dnration Of life, in the
two sexes, bat in the stamina OF the
constitution, the symmetry Of the form.
and the lineaments Of the face. In re-
spect to early marriage, so far as it con-

which marriage Is entered upon before

cay, more or less apparent, Of the corpo-

Rape Fields for Bee Pasturage.

The rapidity with which bees will
build comb and gather honey, under
favorable circumstances, is SO extra
ordinary as to be almost Incredible
Mr.. Brink says that he has known a
strong swarm to ELL its hive with comb
in seventy>two hours and that colo
MES expelled in August, put into
empty hives, and transported to the
heaths, would fill the hive with new
comb and gather from thirty to forty
pounds of honey, in the brief season
in which they could labor. In the
spring of 1858, one of his neighbOrS
carried his stocks, whose stores were
nearly exhausted, to a distant rape
field then in blossom. The weather
was raw and unfavorable at the time
suddenly changed, becoming mild and
clear. The bees labored so success
fully, that after few days his neigh,
Dor called on him for advice, saying
that the liquid honey was running in
streams from the hives. On examin-
alton it appeared that all the combs
we're filled to overfowing, in conse-
quence of the superabundance of nee
tar.-Bee Journal.

Our Daughters.

The greatest danger to our daught-
ers in the present time is the neglect
of domestic education. Not only to
themselves, but to husbands, families,
and the community at large, does the
evil extend. By far the greatest
amount of happiness in civilized life is
found in the domestic relations, and
most of those depend on the domestic
culture and habit Of the wife and
mother. Let our daughters be intel-
lectually educated as highly as posi-
8ible; let their moral aud social nature
receive the highest graces of vigor and
refinement; but along with these, let
the domestic virtues find prominent
place.
We cannot say much about our
daughters being hereafter wives and
mothers, but we ought to think much
of it, and give the thought prominence
for their education. Good wives they
cannot be, at least for men of intelli-
gence, without mental culture /; good
mothers they certainly cannot be with
out it; and more than this, they can
not be such wives as men need, unless
they are good housekeepers, with out a
thorough and practical training to that
end. Our daughters should be prac-
tically taught to bake, wash, sweep,
cook, set table, and do everything ap-
pertaining to the order, neatness,
economy of the household. All this
they can learn as we'll as not, and
better than not. Itneed not interfere
in the least with their intellectual
education, nor with the highest degree
of refinement. On the contrary, it
would greatly contribute thereto
Only let that time which is WOrse than
wasted in idleness, sauntering and
gossip, frivolous reading, and various
modern female designations which kill
time and health, be devoted to domes'
tic duties and education, and our
daughters would soon be all that the
highest interests of society demand
A benign, eleyating influence would
90 forth through all the families of the
land. Health and happiness would
now sparkle in many a lustreless eye,
the bloom would return to butify many
faded cheek, and doctors bills would
give way to bills of wholesome fare
