GeneraI Cassius MI. CLAY.

The Washington dispatch to New York
paper, rejecting upon Major General Cassius
NJ. Clay, published on Monday, is a misrepre-
seniation of the facts. Gen. Clay is not engag-
ed in a political campaign, but is in this city
having been absent but a few days. He report
ed Ia Gen. Halleck for duty, under circumslan-
ces that should, at least, have secured for hin
respectful treatment, if not high consideration
He received neither. In the face of this i'll
treatment, General CLAY reported a second time
to General Halleck, who ohensively asserted
that he could not give him the command in the
West, which had been urged upon the govern
ment by the most distinguished citizens O
several Of the Western States, Gen, Clay sale
calmly: "General, am here TO report for duty
unconditionally" "Then," responded Gen
Haleck, 500 to your hotel and await orders"
Gen. Clay obeyed Upon reaching his quar-
ters, ne received orders 20 report TO Gen. Butle
at New Orleans Like true soldier, he packed
his trunks TO leave the same evening, and pro
eeeded to take leave of the President. The lat
ter said, "Where are you going, General
Clay responded 81 have Just received my or
ders from General Halleck TO report TO Genera
Butler at New Orleans"
The President expressed surprise, asked fo
an ex xplanaion, and on learning the facts sail
TO Gen Clay, aYou will receive other orders" !"
Gen. Clay left the Executive Mansion and Oh
reaching his hotel he found letter from thu
President, ordering him TO remain in the cit,
until further orders. These are facts, and il
view of the statement published referred to, i
is just that they should be known Wdsh. Ger

BY RICHARD coz. BOO.
Let every loyal heart to-day,
Send up shout praise, YI
Unto the mighty Triuue God,
The Author of our days;
That He had given victory
Unto the cause of right,
And laid the rebel minions low
Beneath the bloody fight s
We know full well our cause is just,
Our men both true and brave,
That freedoms banner ne'cr was ment
To float above the slave:
We know that "truth when crushed 70 eartl
Willrse again" in might,
And knowing this, we give to God
The glory of the fight.
We have faith, outreaching time
That this our land shall DO
The heritage Of all the earth--
That labor to be free;
That stricken millions shall arise
And kindle at the sight,
Believing this, we give TO God
The glory Of the fightl
Now, unto each and every one
That haStened to the field
The homage of a nations praise,
With grateful hearts we yield
But unto Him who led our hosts,
And barred His arm of might;
To Him we give the choicest praise,
The glory of the fight
Then let each loyal heart, o-day,
Send up shout of praise,
Unto the mighty Triune God,
The Author of our days;
That He hath sent the victory
Unto the cause of right,
Aud laid the rebel minons low
Beneath the bloody fight

gen. Roseeran's on slavery.

aW. D. B." of the Cincinnati Cmmcreidl
writing from Cornth, under date of Oct. 18th,
has the following in regard to the practice, as
military man, Of General Rosecrans touching
Slavery:
He has not been particularly careful in Ten
nessee to protect rebel properly Of any kind, nor
to preserve rebel shareholders. The latter have
not and do not regard him very tendefly in
clined toward them. He has not burned down
their houses, but he has not guarded them only
when absolutely necessary to the discipline Of
the army, aud he has not taken pains to search
for and return their slaves. On the contrary,
he has not put himself out Of the way 20 allow
slaveholding rebels TO reclaim their negroes.---
They say, bitterly, that he rather disposed of
such questions very sharply. But We shall
avoid minor things. One thing that he has
done exhibits his Independence, and illustrates
his military temper peculiarly, while it also
displays his feeling upon the mooted subject.
He began to show, as soon orders would
permit, that he believed the negroes could be,
and ought to be, made ms useful to our armics
as to the rebels. Therefore be got all he could,
kept all he got within the Federal lines and
used as many as he could. Having no reliable
corps of sappets and miners, he conceived that
negroes might answer the purpose. -s
At Iuka he directed Capt Cav, OF his Eagi-
neer Corps, to select $50 stout intelligent con-
trabands and organize them into a corps in
gangs of ten and instruct them. A company Of
soldleEs was oetalled 70 superlnteho ana guard
them. They accepted the service with alacrity
at $40 per month and subsistence, received in
structions as readily aswhite men, proved them
selves men amenable to discipline, and speedily
made the most useful corps in the army, saving
our soldiers from fatigue duty, and doing vastly
more work Of better quality than soldiers win
do. They have made and repaired roads and
bridges, felled forests and built fortifeationa,
and are now considered almost Indispensable =
The scheme was strongly opposed; the suggea-
tions of authority were interposedi but the corps
of negro sappers and miners still exist, and Ia
Invaluable. | never heard the General allude
to the subject but have heard the testimony
ofthe organization, have seen the negroes drill
: and have inspected their haudiwork. feal
that if Gen. RosecTans il not careful, how h
uses rebel slaves ia the service Of his countr,
. he viii soon earn the reproachable titla 0
'd--d AboIitionist." There is ne doubt tina
, he has @fred the Southern heart-g ~. = n.

The last navy report, which bears date but
six weeks ago, presents in concise form the won-
derful rapidity with which the American Navy
has been brought into existence. We com

inefficient navy, and yet we can now present to
the world navy Of nearly four hundred yes
sells. This great fact speaks volumes. of praise
for Secretary Walles and hisagents. The man
agement of the naval department. has been en-
ergetic and prudent. At the opening Of the
war, there was necessarily much confusion and
some swipdlipg. Ia the urgent necessity for
vessels, doubtless many were purchased which
were proved 70 have been poor bargains. But
a. rapidly as possible the Department remedied
all dsiseis, and pTeossdea aPoa an sessenisai
and iudieious system. As grand result Of

Unspoken PRAYERS.

What is prayed for IN tire family
by the pious father is sometimes
not prayed for by the mother in
her family tastes and tempers, and
is even prayed against in fact by
IRll the ipatigations ofsappearanee,.
Pptfde, ana show WIitIl Gfe raieed
by her motherly studies aud cares /;
and this too not seldom when her
own prayers are burdened with
much feeling, and bear the appear
ance of much earnest longing for
the piety of her children. Her
prayers sound well i'll the wording,
and she verify thinks what she asks
for; but the notions Of standing
she is putting in the head Of her
son, or the dress she is just now
getting up for her daughter, pray
a hundred fold harder than her
prayers, only just the other way
calling in results of feeling and
character that are selfish, worldly,
and earthly in the last degree:
pride; the ambition Of show and
social standing; envy OF what ia
above, jealousy Of what is below (;
follies of dress and fashion, and
the more foolish elation felt when
a son is praised or daughter ad.
mired in the matter of personal
appearance or what is no better,
a manifest preparing and forecast
ing of this folly when the son or
daughter is so young as to be only
the more certainly poisoned by the
infection of it. Oh these unspoken,
destroying prayers, how many are
they, and how totally do they fill
up the days!

AN EIGHT LEGGED SHEEP .Ex,
pLAINED.-An eight-legged sheep
was on exhibition at the Safe Fair
at Hartford. A gentleman entered
the tent and saw the sheep, a great
curiosity indeed; four of his legs
rested on the ground, and the other
four stuck straight up from his
back. So, 1t would appear, that
the sheep, on getting tired on one
set, might turn over aud travel
with the others. On examination
the gentleman discovered some
stitches on the side Of the animal,
and at once saw the freak of nature.
The lower part ofra sleeps hide,
legs and all, had been sewGd on this
"wonderful creature"

From BRITIsu CoLUMBIA.-The
hosts Of gold seekers who rushed
from England, Canada and Cali
fornia to British Columbia last
Spring, have generally been disap.
pointed. A letter of August 9th,
from the Forks of the Quenscille,
states that many have left the nor
thern portion Of the colony, either
with the intention of working on
the roads, or at Victoria-or if pos
sible to make their way back to
San Francisco. Out Of 5000 men
who have left the Cariboo mines
and retraced their steps, nearly all
were dead broke, ,and this in q coun-
try where winter lasts in great se'
verify from October to May, and
the coarsest kind of living costs SO
q day. Still it is claimed that Brit
ish Columbia is one of the largest
and richest gold fields of the world.
The mines are difficult of access,
and by the vilest Of roads. Provis-
ions have to be packed mostly on
mems backs to the mining creeks,
from 25 to 65 miles, at q cost of
from % to so cents per pound.

TANNERS AND TIE EXCISE Law
The Commissioner of Internal Re-
venue has made the following dc.
cision concerning the tanning of
leather:
"a tanner who receives hides
from other parties, upon an agree
ment to tan the same by the piece,
by the pound, may remove the tam
ned leather without inspection, to
such, owners whenever it is ready
to 60 forward, having first obtain-
ed and filed in lis Office, the written
certificate Of the Assessor and Ool-
lector in the district in which the
tannery is situated, that in their
Judgment such removal will not be
prejudicial to the just administra'
ton of the Excise Law, provided
that every tanner, so removing fan
ned leather, shall make monthly
return to the Assessor of the dis
trict, of the number and weight Of
the sides or pieces of leather so re-
moved, and provided that hoshall
furnish to the Assessor monthly the
Inspectors certificate of the weight
and quality of the leather SO re-
moved during the preceding month.
and that the tax stall be paid in
the district where the taunery is sit,
uated."

EAGER C--.'-During a ro
cent work Of grace in q New Eng
land village, several young men
gave evidence Of saving faith in
Christ. One Of them, Il merchants
clerk, became very Jealous in good
works and the observance of the
ordinances of religion. Each Sab
bath found him three times in his
seat at church, bending forward
with his earnest eyes fixed upon
the minister as if he were devour-
ing the words.
/ is rapt attention attracted the
notice of the congregation, Thro'
u harmless pleasantly he came to
be called the eager youth, and
hence Ea ger c..
lie enlisted in the-regiment
of his State, and went some weeks
since to the seat of war. In q few
days pleasant letters came back
People were glad to hear from him
for he was greatly beloved.
A week after these letters were
written he was sun-struck upon
forced march, and the fellow-sol-
dier and townsman who lay down
by him at night, awoke in the
morning to find him dead.
Who shall call such q death un-
timely? EAGER c.. What an
epitaph! Eager to do Gods scr
vice here, eager to join the army
of the Lord. 1t matters little that
he was buried where he fell, SO
long as that simple word Eager en-
graves the story of his faith upon
the hearts of his friends. E. H. A.
