"IANG HIM. "A few days before the
New York election CaSsius NJ. Clay, who
has the rank and receives the emolumcnts
of Mnjor-General for partisan serviccA
made an infammatory Abolition speech
in Buffalo, in which he modestly urged
his Abolition brethren to chang Gov.
Seymour" Since the election we pre-
sumo he and they have concluded to let
the hanging job ont, as it might be at
tended with unhealthy consequences.
Such recommendation from such a
source, twelve months ago, might have
been fatal to Gov. Seymour; but reac
ton has taken place. and the arbiter Of
others fate may soon become "a sup.
plant for his own" He and the whole
brood of Abolition vipers will have to
bride their tongues or suffer the penalty
Of their treason.

THE CAPTURE OF NEW ORLEANS.
A GREAT NAVAL BATTLE.

GREAT NAVAL BATTLE.
The New York Times has, from its
special correspondent with Porter's mortar
feet, an account of the reduction of the
forts below New Orleans, and the passage
of Com. Farragut up the river, bringing
events down to April %. The lombard
ment of the forts continued for week,
day and night. On Friday, the 25th,
the fire of the forts was so much slack
ened as to allow of the passage up the
river of number of Com. Farragut's ves-
sells including frigates and gunboats which
succeeded, after some desperate fighting
with the rebel gunboats, in clearing the
river to New DEMONSTRATING and 9TH
erwise destroying II Of the enemy's ves-
sells, and demolishing the famous ram
Manassas, which was completely riddled
by broadsides from the steamer Mississip-
pi. The gunboat Varuna was especially
active in these operations, disposing of
five of the rebel vessels single handed.
She had a desperate encounter with the
rebel gunboat Webster, which she sue
cecded in sinking; but was so much dis
abled herself that she also went down, her
last gun being fred with her decks below
water. After Com Farragut had passed
the forts and succeeded in clearing the
river, he sent dispatch to Com. Porter,
below, announcing his success, and that
he had captured at the quarantine grounds
four hundred rebels, whom he had released
on parole, not being able to take care Of
them. The rebel forts, though cut off
entirely from communication with the city,
refused at first to surrender uncondition-
ally, but subsequently concluded to do so.

MILITARY DRILLs.-Since we have, un-
happily, become military people, the
soldiers special training has been much
considered as means of general physical
culture. Numberless schools, public and
private, have already introduced the drill
and make it part Of each days exercis-
es.
But this mode of exercise can never
furnish the muscle culture which we
Americans so much need. Nearly all our
exercise is of the lower half of the body
we walk, we run up and down stairs,
and thus cultivate hips and legs, which
as compared with the upper half of the
body, are muscular. But our arms, shout
ders and chests are Informed and weak.
What ever artificial muscular training is
employed, should be specially adapted to
the development Of the upper half of the
body.
Need I say that the military drill fails
to bring into varied and vigorous play the
chest and shoulders ? Indeed in almost
the entire drill, are not these parts held
immovable in one constrained position ?
In all but the cultivation of uprigh tness,
the military drill is singularly deficient
in the requisites Of system of muscle
training, adapted to weak-chested peo-
pie.
The exercises employed to invigorate
the body, should be such as are calculated
to make the form erect, and the shoulders
and chest, large and vigorous-LeVis's

A QUARTERMAsTER UNDER FIRE
In the special correspondence of the New
York Herald Of the 18th ultimo, dated
"In Camp Beyond Intrenchments, York
town, Va, April II, 1862" we find the
following paragraph:
At twelve O'Clock, as Captain Smith, Bri-
gade Quartermaster, was coming up York
River, with steamboat loaded with forage,
the enemy saiuted him with three shots. To
come up Back river to a landing adjoining
the brigade encampment, the boat had to
move reund projecting bar in York River,
to keep the channel, which brought him
within three-quarters of a mile or their guns.
The first shot--a round one-passed over the
deck Just att the smoke pipe. The remaining
shots were shells, the first of which fell con-
siderabiy short, and the last one went at
proportiona!ely pleasant distance beyond.
Captain Smith-as plucky man as the next
one-kept his craft moving ahead, notwlth-
standing these disagreeable salutations, and
landed his forage safely.
" know that there are, to say the
least of it, "a variety Of gentlemen bearing
the time-houored and popular name OF
Smith in the Union army; yet, taking
into consideration the facts that tie Smith
herein so honorably specified is a Captain
by prefix, Brigade Quarternaster by
profession, and-to make assurance doubly
sure--''as plucky a man as the next one"
We are irresistibly led to the conclusion
that he can be none other than our old
friend, Captain George Nelson Smith, the
well known ex-legislator and ex-editor, Of
this county, but at present serving as Bri-
pade Quartermaster somewhere in Vir-
ginia, and most likely with the army
before Yorktown If this surmise be
true, we congratulate Captain Smith on
his narrow escape, and beg leave to add
the hope that, though ''perils thick and
dangers many" surround him, he may
never become flood for POWDER" or any
thing in any wise tlereunto approximating.

Of the recent Teachers County Institute,
held at Wilmore. In order that our rea-
ders may understand the somewhat OBJ
scure remarks concerning "Resoution

resolution, as reported 10y the Committee,
strongly censured our late Representative,
Mr.. Pershing,-and him a5one---for his
persistent opposition to the bill before the
Legislature constituting twenty days a
School Month. It was eventually modi-
fed by the Institute, however, to embrace
within it's censorious limits oil legislators
who may have eliminated remarks ode
rosatory to the dignity and honor of the
Teachers profession" Resolution No
