The Nerves of the World.

When the Atlantic telegraph cable aft
er few spasmodic gasping utterances re-
lapsed into silence and the mythical De
Sauty vanished from the shanty in which
he had entrenched himself in the New
Foundland wilderness, all faith in the idea
vanished with him. The enthusiastic
youth who sported half inches of the tarry
wire upon their watch guards, quietly put
them aside, and the world at large, with
regretful reluctance, gave up the idea that
such plan was practible, and as En- altern-
ative the project of running wire across
both continents. away North through Brit
ish and Russian America, where dwell the
Flatheads and Nezperce Indians, through
the region of eternal ice, where even the
Esquimaux cannot keep foothold, across
Bhering's straits, to the land of fish-eating
Kuriles and fur-hunting Kamtschadales,
wolish Ostiacks and Lungouses, across
Russian steppes where the sheepslIin dres-
sed shepherd should look in wonder and
invoke thier patron saint, to St. Peters-

The Battle of Hanover.

The first report of the capture of Hano-
yer Court House, IN Virginia, gave no
idea of theimportanceo of the achievement.
II turns out TO have been a hard-fuught
battle, resulting in q complete victory for
the Union forces The division engaged
was. that of General Fitz-J ohm Porter,
which seems to have been detached from
the main body for the purpose of cutting
off the Northern railroad connections of
Richmond and establishing n connection
with the Army of the Rappahannock.-
The movement was bold and mastery
one. and it must have taken the rebels by
surprise. Indeed the wife of the rebel
General Lee, who, with her daughters,
was captured by Col. Rush's Lancers a
few DAYS ago. at Old Church, which is
some miles south of Hanover, expressed
great surprise that the Union troops
should have gone so far north of Rich
mond.
The military authorities in Richmond,
however, were better informed than Mrs.
Lee concerning our movements, and a
force, consisting chiefly of North Carolina
and Georgia troops, was sent to oppose
Porter at Hanover Court House a hard
fight occurred, of which we only know
the general result: the rebels were COM
pletely routed. Their loss is set down
at LOCO in killed and wounded 500 pris-
oners were taken, and more were coming
in at the last accounts. Our loss was but
379 killed, wounded and missing, of whom
50 were killed. As Hanover Court House
is one of the outposts of Richmond, and
as the force defeated there was part of
the grand army FOR the defence of the
capital, the victory is an important one.
1t will add to the enthusiasm of McClel-
lan's army, and will proportionately dis
pirit the army of rhe rebels.

What is being done in South Car
DINA.

The Camp Kettle" is the title of pa
per printed in Beaufort, S. c., by soldiers
of the Tooth Pa, Reg't. A Late number
contains some items of interest, showing.
that the Northerners are wide-awake
THEN AND Now.-0n the 18th of Decem-
Der, Gen. Stephens occupied Beaufort
with his Brigade. Then, it was a desert
ed, sacked city, in the possession of the
ex-slayes in the first hour of their free
dom. and desertion, ruin and pillage had
suddenly come down upon it like night
Now, it is once more, aye, and more than
ever a mart of busy men. Its wharves
are rebuilt and groan with grain and mer-
chandize, while huge condenser at one
side, turns salt water into fresh, to store
ships with water for long voyages, and
the busy plane and ringing anvil announce
the coming of a new era for the ancient
town. The old storerooms have new firms
in them, and Beaufort is fast becoming a
northern town in thrift of trade. Yam
kee Missionaries are here, to teach the
quondam slaves the literature of their
late masters, and plant the cotton and
the corn, the sweet potatOe and the yam,
and turn the slipshod shiftlessness of Dix
lie into the thriftness of Nutmegdom.
FREE LABOR.-The trial of free labor in
South Carolina is progressing steadily and
satisfactorily. Many of the deserted plan
tations are showing signs of new civih-
zation. Under the benign rule of Gen.
Hunter the slave falls very naturally into
free man, and the ex-slaves themselves
say that twelve free niggers' do more
work for pay, than twenty slaves did un-
der the lash. Northern enterprise under
the supervision of competent men, is Civ
ing intelligent direction to the dark
mind of the servile race of this hotbed of
rebellion, and it would seem as if a Just
retribution of Providence was about to
demonstrate on the soil of South Carolina
the greatest problem of the age, viz: That
slavery is not necessary to the production
of cotton even in South Carolina.
. HEALTH OF THE TRooPs.-Notwithsta
ing many fears and many prophecies, the
health of the troops here is improving in
stead of deterioating. All the hospitals
are aboYt empty, except few cases of
chronic disease of no special account.

The Opium Trade.

A correspondent of the World, writing
from KalapOor, in India, thus refers to
the opium trade-a trade that ranks not
far behind that in slaves in its debasing
effects-and to its encouragement by Eng
land:- ... .
'In my last spoke of the opium trade
as still approved and encouraged 10y the
English government. 1t is found profit
.IDIe;- n uvvI ti,erl. cam government afford
to suppress it? It's opium revenue Tor
the last twenty seven years amounts TO no
less sum than 74T, ,549,G9l rupees. The
enorInity of this business is hardly appre-
ciated or even understood in America
The evil involved is two-fold-a grevi-
Gus wrong upon the poor cultiVator in In
dia, and gross outrage on the Chinese,
who have been compelled, at the point of
British bayonets, to admit the article
against the laws of the empire.
The wrong to the India cultivator con-
sists in bringing influences to constrain
him to grow the opium, when sugar or
other crops would be more for his inter-
est. One familiar with the business thus
describes it:-'The growing of the opium
is compulsory on the part of the cultiva-
tor. Advances are made by government
through its native servants, and if he re-
fuses the advance the simple plan of
throwing the money into his house is
adopted. Should he attempt to absc0nd,
the poems seize him, tie the advance up in
his clothes, and push him into his house.
The business being now settled, and there
being no remedy, he applies himself az be
may to the fulfilment of his contract
IN the rich alluyial valley of the Ganges
the garden of India, region 1000 miles
long and 200 or 300 miles broad, is wholly
given up to the poppy-a region equally
well adapted to the growth of other pro-
ducts, and which might produce sugar
enough to supply the world. d.
The Tae-ping party, the rising revolu-
tionary power in China, outlaws and re-
sists the traffic in opium and hence in
good part, doubtles, the determination of
of the British to support the old falling
dynasty which they have already compell-
ed to admit it.
What a spectacle! Great Britain, the
most Christian nation on the globe, resist
ing a mighty revolution, and holding up
an efcte old dynasty in China, for the sake
of market for her opium while at the
same time, in America she lightly cuts
loose the ties of friendship with well es-
tablished power, and shows herselfready
to join hands with traitors for the sake OF
cotton.
What a mighty power is self-interest
-subsidizing Judgment and conscience, ma
tional politics and policies, everything to
ITSELF"

How a Mans Boots Saved his Life.

Crab Schlaberndorf, a writer of no little
power, who lived in a Paris garret, was
miserly in trifes, and laYishly generous
in great things; primarily hearty friend
of liberty, and secondarily persevering,
disinterested patriot; friend of the Gil
rondists, he speedily found his way to
prison under the sway of Robespierre.-
One morning the death-cart came for its
usual number of daily victims, and Schla-
berndorfs name was called out. He i'm
mediately, with the greatest GOODNESS and
good humor, prepared for departure
Presence of mind in some shape, grand
stoicism or mere indifference were COM
mon in those terrible times. And Schla-
berndorf was not the man to make an un-s
graceful departure when the unavoidable
Must of fate stood sternly before him.
He was soon dressed, only his boots were
missing. He sought, and sought, and the
jailor sought with him, in this corner and
in that but they were not to be found.
Well" said Schlaberndorf, sharply,
" this is too bad; to be gillotined without
my boots will never do. Hark ye, my
friend" continued he, with simple good
humor to the jailer, ''take me tomorrow;
one day makes no difference; it is the
man they want, not Tuesday or Wednes-
day."
The jailor agreed. The wagon, full
enough without that head, went off to its
destination. Schlaberndorf remained in j
the prison. Next morning at the usual
hour, the vehicle returned; and the VIC
tim who had so strangely escaped on the
previous day, was ready, boots and all,
waiting the word of command. But, be-
hold his name was not heard that day
nor the thild day, nor the fourth, and not
at all. There was no mystery in the mat
ter. 1t was naturally supposed that he
had fallen with the other victims named
for the original day. In the multitude of
sufferers no one could curiously inquire
for an individual. For the days that fol-
lowed there were enough of victims with
out him, and so he remained in prison
till the fall of Rebespierre, when, with so
many others, he recovered his liberty
He owed this miraculous escape-not the
least strange in the strange history of the
Revolution-partly to the kindness of the I
jailer and partly and mainly to his good
temper. He was universal faYorite in
the jail.
