GENERAL ORDER NO. 40.

The Secretary of War has observed with
some surprise that the commanders of one
or two military departments, considering
themselves empowered to do 80, have un-
dertaken to accept the designations and
otherwise discharge from the service of the
United States officers commissioned or ap-
pointed by the President in the volunteer
staff of the army. All such discharges are
irregular, and unless confirmed by the Pres
ident void of effect None but the Presi-
dent can discharge an officer appointed by
himself, and as he has not delegated this
power to any General, no General must at
tempt to exercise it. By order of the Sec
retary of War.

A Man Guarding Diamonds.

The most profound acknowledges in
the world is the Duke of Brunswick.
He has in his possession three million
dollars worth of diamonds. He has just
published catalogue of his diamonds,
and in the appendix there is notice Of
the most celebrated diamonds in the
world. The catalogue numbers not less
than 268 quarto pages. 1t gives, with
great detail, the list Of diamonds. 1t re-
lates how this once adorned Turkish sa-
bre, that royal dadem, another an i'm,
perial collar, a fourth grand electoral
hat this black diamond was an idols
eye that brilliant rose diamond was tax
en- from the emperor Baber at Agra, Git

those were the waistcoat buttons of the
Emperor Don Pedro this diamond ring,
with the cypher " M. s." belonged to
Mary, Queen of Scots that pair of ear
rings hung once on Marie Antoiuette
He has plenty OF diamonds worth $780,
900, $4,000, and S45,0O0 apiece two
worth 100000 each, one $40, 600, and
one S80,000 He is in treaty now for
two diamonds, one of which is worth
S232, 900, and the other S660,O 900.
The Duke of Brunswick dare not leave
Paris at any period Of the year; his dia-
monds keep him chained there. He dare
not sleep from home (some people reck
on their liberty of pillow one of the great
franchises Of Paris) single night. He
lives in house constructed not so much
for comfort as security. 1t is burg lar
proof surrounded on every side by a
high wall the wall itself is surrounded
by lofty iron railing, defended by in
Vulnerable sharp spear heads, which are
so contrived that if any person touches
any OF them chime of bells begin in,
stantly to ring an alarm this iron rail
ing cost him Sl4,127. He keeps his
diamonds in safe, built in q thick wall ;
his bed is placed against it, that no bur
glsr may break into it without killing or
at least waking him, and that he may
amuse himself without leaving his bed.
The safe is lined with granite and with
iron the locks have secret which must
be known before they can be opened by
violence, discharge OF firearms takes
place, which will inevitably kill the bur-
glar, and at the same time chime OF
bells in every room of the house is set
ringing. He has but one window in his
bed room, the sash is Of TIE stoutest iron;
the shutters are of thick sheet iron, and
cannot be entered unless one be master
Of the secret combination OF the lock. A
case Of dozen six barreled revolvers,
loaded and capped, lies on table within
reach of his bed. Would you like to be

Illinois Cotton.
From the n. Y. Tribune, 3oth !

From the y. Y. Tribune, 3oth
We have before US a sample of cotton
grown by J. II. Galloway, in Christian
county, Ill, the quality of which is full
ly equal TO any upland cotton, wherever
grown. The place where this was grown
is near the center Of The S ate, south Of
Springfield, upon just such soil as that
of most of the Grand Prairie. Last
year, Galloway grew four aores-this
year, fourteen. and is well satisfied that
he can grow cotton as surely as corn,
ard much more proftably. Accomp-
anying the sample of lint is a specimen
OF homespun cotton yarn, such as the
Illinois cotton growers have been in the
practice of making for making for many
years. Thirty years ago, the writer of
this Item lived in Indiana, seventy miles
directly west of Cincinnati, in q neigh
borhood of "poor white trash" from
North Carolina, who grew cotton reru-
larly every year, just as New England
people did flax, in ollen time, ana
very large portion Of the family clothing
was made of home grown, home carded,
home spun, and home woven cotton.
At that time, no one doubted the FEAST
bility Of growing the cotton, nor was
there any complaint about the yield.
The cultivation only ceased because tho
price of cotton fabrics became so low
that home manufacturing had to yield TO
machinery.

Capacities Of the African Race.

In letter to the London Daily News,
Capt. William Ballour Belkie, an African
explorer, who writes from Nupe, in Cen
trail Africa, exposes some Of the current
fallacies about the negro race. lie says !:
Having been cut off from all com
muuication with the outer world for
nearly two years, | only lately received
the Daily Iews aud other periodicals for
the latter months OF 1859 and for 1860,
and this must account for the appearance
of the present letter. In an account of
an American meeting, where the subject
of Slavery was introduced, ono of the
speakers asserted, as an argument in its
favor, that the intellect Of the African is
inferior to that Of the white races The
name African is of wide application,
and includes many races, but as regards
one among them to which this term is
frequently confned-viz the negro
having now lived among them for nearly
five years, and had constant daily oppor-
tunlties Of observation, / have no hesita.
tion in contradlcting the statement. The
intellect of the negro races is uncultiva-
ted and untried to any extent, but | feel
certain that when duly developed il will
be found in no respect inferior. 1t GER
tainly has its pecularties. as that OF every
race has, as may be seen on comparing e
Russian with a Dane, a German with
Spaniard, or in our own island, on
contemplating the rejecting, progressive
Anglo Saxon with the impulsiye, un.

king of the country from which | am

his opinion. Could he see the amount
of business he daily gets through. the
manner in which he rules his kingdom,
how lie manages the various races Of his
subjects. his ideas of justice, his acquain

The Freeman's Call.

BrA YOUTH OF SIXTEEN.
Frcemen, bark your country's calling,
Calling to defend her rights,
Go and strike blow for freedom,
Go defend our stars and stripes.
Go and fight like honest soldiers,
Go, for now your country needs you,
Go and fight your country's battles,
Let God Almighty lead you.
Tyrants and traitors clank their chains,
Hear their resounding echoes ring,
They would like to call you subjects,
Would you like to own their king
They have called you low-lived towards,
Mudsills of the human race,
They have stolen your honest earnings,
They have brought you to disgrace.
They have slain your sons and brothers,
Scalped them as they dying lay,
Used their skulls for drinking vessels,
Freemen have you naught to say?
They have trailed the flag of freedom.
The flag our patriot fathers won,
Meath the feet of rebel traitors,
The glorious flag of Washington.
Would you see our country die,
Die for want of freeman's aid ?
Would you see our noble banner
In the dust by traitors laid
Would you see those soulless rebels
With their cursed filthy rag,
Floating DER the top of Bunker
Instead Of our dear starry flag?
Great God restore TO this our nation
The bliss of never ending peace,
But never till our starry ensign,
Floats again on every breeze.
Let our fathers, sons, and brothers,
Fall into untiinely graves,
Rather than live life of ages,
To be traitors willing slaves.
