A Richmond correspondent of the Char
lesion Courier throws considering light
upon the whiskey question in old Virginia.
He says that within six months two hum
bred additional distilleries have been es-
tablished in Virginia, and that they are
buying up all the corn, thetrprofIts being so
enormous that they can afford to pay the
highest price for it." He next describes
the peculiar virtues of this corn whiskey
upon the human system ait carbonizes
Tor burns into crusD the mucous mem
braue of the windpipe, sets the brain on
fire, and sends cold tremOr through the
system" A soldier taking half dozen
nips is drunk for week, aud second Or
third repetition of this experiment "drives
the breath out of his body"

A FnENCu WRITER, (tbe son of the cele-
brated Madame Dudeyant, alias George
sands,) describes "honest Abe Lincoln" as
IA very tall man, six feet high, dressed in
a complete suit of black, and holding in
his large, hairy hands, pair of white
gloves which he has never put on and
which he never can put on; a long nose !;
wide mouth small agreeable eyes; hollow
cheeks; his beard cut in the American
fAshion-a fashion which would make
Jupiter himself look vulgar a toupe, of
long hair raised up on his forehead and
falling back like weeping willow a kind
expression of countenauce, not devoid of
shrewdness; such is Honest Abraham
the nickname given to President Lincoln. !"
A clever French picture; but what is
the american fashion" of beard-cuttiug,
that would ''make even Jupiter look vul-
gar" We have no idea of it we confess.

The news keeps getting better and bet
ter. The little bit of bad luck down at
Newport was just calculated to make pee
PIerelish the news from other quarters.
To-day we have the greatest news of the
war. Manassas is ours-witbout blow
or gun fired! This is what we have long
believed would take place eventually, but
We had never hoped for it 50 soon. The
whole army on the lower Potomac has
fallen back, the despatch says.

Fruitful Thought.

The following from that sterling sheet,
the New York Commercial Advsrtiser, is
commended 10 that class of old fogies who
have faith in nothing but precedents and
usages:
Nothing makes alive like war, If moth
ing kills likeit. II sets all the wits, the
energies of people in operation, and gall
vaniEes into almost superhuman activity
both civilian and soldier. Throwing rou-
tine in great measure to one side, it pre-
sents novel situations aud exigeueies, de-
handing capacities that shall anticipate
events, and be prepared to deal with them
as they arise. 1t calls for statesmen-not
mere politicians-who have observed
closely the characteristics of the people 10
be governed; who understand their strong
and weak points. aud who, covering up
these, can turn those to the best adYan-
tsge; who have alike at their disposal az
intimate knowledge Of details. with a
readiness of educing therefrom general
principles, and who combine with these
qualities eminent industry aud zeal in the
nations service. In a crisis like the pres
ent, when great public questions are
sprung upon Congress in an hour; when
unexpected events may compel the men Mt
the wheel TO yeer TO this or that point of
the compass, it is evident that examples
draw from our own past history or that of
other countries can furnish little guidance;
much less can political platforms present
any safe rule of action, These may do
well enough when the public servants have
little to do save travelling on their annual
rounds in true horse-mill fashion. But
they are as inapplicabIe at present as would
be the battering rams of antiquity for the
capture of Fort Donelson. New times
demand new measures as well as new
men,"

NoTHING like the recent floods in Cali
fornia have ever been witnessed on this
continent, within the knowledge of its civ
ilized inhabitants. The San Francisco
Herald says it has inflicted blow upon
the State from which it will not recover in
half century. Thousands of the citizens
have been utterly baukruptsd, aud in round
numbers the loss may be estimated at
S5O,ooO,OOO. A great many deaths by
drowning are reported, and pl Obably many
hundred have met with a watery grave

TnE "best society" of Chicago has just
been astonished by the development of
another case of domestic infidelity" in
high lite. The facts are on this wise =
Jacob Harris is an ex-alderman; Mrs. ia
cob Harris wanted divorce from the ex-
alderman; some of her relatives aud friends
undertook to get her one, shrewd Cyp-
rian was taken into their councils, who,
for the sum of $500, agreed to get Mr.. Har-
ris into a position which would warrant
suit for divorce. But the woman relent-
ed when the cx-alderman was almost en-
trapped and revealed to him the whole
plot, and instead of the ex-oticial losing
his character and his wife by the same
fall stroke, the chief couspirators have
come to grief and now contemplate the
world andwOrldly matters through the bars
of a prison.

SOMEHOW our improvement always costs
us pretty dear. 1t has beeuso all through
the war, and the affair at Newport News
is fresh illustration of it. The enemy
show us our weak places, but they charge
high for doing SO. There is one thing
though, we always improve the hint. If
anything is found wanting, the Govern
ment goes at it with prodigious energy to
supply the want. We don't generally suf-
fer but once in the same spot. 1t is dis.
covered now that iron-clad steamers are
demanded, and the Government will have
them in plenty just as soon as unlimited
resources, energy and skill can supply
them Tho Merrimac will never repeat
her prank. She is believed to be com
pletely disabled and laid on the docks. By
the time she is repaired we shall have a
dozen steamers more formidable than she,
and besides from the tenor of the news
to-day, GOsport Navy Yard will by that
time be in possession of Uncle Sam.
