Home, the Residence .

From the Monthly Religious Magazine
no man needs to own his own house more
than the hard working man of moderate
means. No one more needs this and every
influence OF home. One reason assigned
Tor the want OF thrift, the low pleasures of
the working man, is the character of the
place be lives IN, and the fact that the bar.
Or saloon, or billiard room will give him
cleanliness and comfort his home lacks. 1t
Will very soon break down the ambition of
an otherwise very worthy man, il he finds
his home wanting in the cheaper means or
appearance OF comfort which the places of
resort Embellishments or appearances which
large class OF tenements do not afford. His
own h0me,-smali, bat speaking within and
without OF his care and love,-that is the
great safeguard OF the man ard the family of
moderate means. To it, when the d.v is
gone, be goes with joy upon it and its COM
ior,s he willingly lays Out e portion of his
wages. 1t smiles, il return, as another
mans house Fever can; it rebukes, in his
wandering, only as his own home could. 1t

tossing temptations OF life, place CT ref

pure delights, prevail agains! all that offers
or appetite suggests.
Another reason which should operate
strongly in Iavor OF every mans owning his
house is, that so Only can any thing like
permancnce of residence be secured. This
want of permanence is one of the crying
sins of the age. 1t prevents the local at
tachment which is one Of the strongest and
purest sentiments OF the human breast. No

Huntsville, Alabama.
Correspondence of the journal of Commerce

WASHINGTON, D. G., April IL, 1862
We have intelligence today that our forces,
under General Mitchell, have taken Hunts
vile, Alabama. AS I know the place well
1 will give you few particulars. 1t is To-
Gated in billy country, twelve miles from
the Tennessee river, on the North, and con-
tains about three thousand inhabitants, 1t
contains many handsome residences and is
the seat Of two institutions of learning, the
Bascom Institute, and Presbyterian College.
Owing to its healthy location, it has be-
come the summer residence of wealthy fam
lilies from Mobile and New Orleans and to
give an idea of its wealth for country
village, it may be mentioned that twenty of
its leading families can count up the pretty
sum of six or eight millions of dollars.
The country around the place is very pro-
ductive, the plantations numerous and large,
and the negro population extensive. On
the score of intelligence, there is not a
class of citizens in the South, who sur
pass the inhabitants of the really very
charming town of Huntsville. The place
on the Tennessee which answers as it's port
is called Wbitesburg.

4 Righteous War.

From Serm N by Rev. Orvi le Dewey, ID. d.
see here great government, with pc,
culiar, popular, and what is to US pre-
cious title to sovereignty, which the rude
hand of rebellion would pluck down, and
cover with approbrium, and blight with
failure, before the eyes OF all the world. l
see great Republic, seated on the shores
of a new world spreading from the Allan
tic to the Pacific Sea built up in the af-
fections of IT'LL lately thirty millions of
people the pride and hope of its loyal sub
jects; the resort and refuge of multi,udes
from the old world and unexampled pros.
perity in itself, and dwelling in peace and
honor with all nations. And now, for no
ustifying cause for an interest in slavery,
for the qualification of passions that have
sprnng from that bitter root violent hand
is raised to strike at this great image of
public authority, to break it in pieces, and
to scatter it in the dust. 1t is truly said
that Democracy is on its trial in this
crisis. Has it nurtured ip US taintheart-
edness, recklessness, love of ease and
propriety that is willing to let this mighty
Fabric 60 to wreck and ruin? For one I
answer, No. Shall the aristocracies of the
old world pass by, waggiDg their heads in
scorn and saying Aha ye could boast of
your great Republic, but ye cannot fight
for it." Shall all noble lovers of liberty in
the world hang their heads in shame for US
and say "Alas for our hopes and the
hopes of mankindP And again l answer,
No.
And l say no, not in pride or passion,
not in any hatred of the South, but under
the most solemn sense of duty. TO us this
is holy war. Religion-in the highest
and widest view of it commands US to do
what we are doing. We have trust com
mtted to us, as we believe, by the Infinite
authority, and it is in fealty to God, and
fidelity to man, that we feel bound to keep
it. We cannot yield up lawful sovereignty,
the national domain and honor, aud the
peace and welfare OF unborn generations, to
the reckless assault that is made upon
them. We believe that we should dispease
the just God if we did so. Ne believe that
ours is righteous cause, and, repeat,
holy war; And if the Southern people say,
we, too, have q conscience, be it SO, all men
suppose have conscience of some kHd.
The question is, whose is the right con-
science ? The rebel conscience or the loyal
conscience? They may say, why cannot
you yield to US? We say, why cannot
you yield to US? The question is who
ought to yield. Upon this question We
have no doubt. If upon this question
there must be an awful and bloody conflict,
if conscience on either side can find no other
solution, God pity us, and God defend the
right.

In order to secure as far as possible
the decent interment of those who have
fallen or may fall in battle, it is made the
duty of commanding generals to lay off lots
OF ground in some suitable spot near every
battle field, so soon as it may be in their
power, and to cause the remains of those
killed to be inferred, with head boards to
the graves, bearing the numbers, and, when
practicable, the names of the persons hurried
in them. A register of each burial ground
will be preserved, in which will be noted
the marks corresponding with the head
boards.

WHAT THE PICKET SAID.

4 Yankee picket, looking out
For enemy or stranger,
Made prisoner Of rebel scout
Who stumbled into danger.
The latter yielded up his sword,
The former then parolled him -
They then upon the war conferred,
And this is what Yank. told him -
" You folks have all been raving mad;
You have, swOw, by thunder
And preci us soon you'll all be glad
Ireckon, to knock under.
Your Uncle Samuers dauder's riz
You've riled him, l assure ye
And now the old gents purpose is
Either to kill or cure ye.
Good gracious! what an all fired lot
Ofblnd and stupid cusses,
To lose the hull O. what you'd got,
In bringing on these muses.!
You've billed q pretty kettle o fish,
With your tarnation folly;
Fore long, Calculate, you'll wish
Secesh to I'LL, by golly!
What allied you that you were at content
With your preponderation?
You held the relics of Government,
The whipoband Of the nation,
The Senate, Bench, and Cabinet,
Each place Of trust or profit
All these were yours; sand now you're shet
OF them, what good came Of :?
" This talk Of sectional affronts,
This gas of rights invaded
Won't pass: the devils cried so once,
And you cry just as they did!
The North had never nterfered
Between the slave and master;
How that was fixed it never cared
A Tennessee shinplaster.
"But since you showed the cloven hoof.
And pulled the murderous trigger,
Don't fancy we shall stand aloof
By reason Of the nigger;-
We're bound to see this matter through,
And as for your black chattels,
Why, local laws must yield unto
The sterner law OF battles.
"This wars bloody business, but
Well hunt Confederate Treason,
Until the Union sword has cut
Its diabolic weason.
You forced the issue on us, and
Well show, what you've forgotten,
The pillars of the world don't stand
On Niggers or on Cotton"
Just then the Sergeant, coming up,
Relieved him from his station;
Which put, of course. sudden stop
To that confabulaton -
But still his rough speech hit the curse
That SO long has bestrode us,
And we might act great deal worse
Than thro' his simple modus.
