,AGAssIz AND OXEN DINING ON POTATOES.
An interesting fact, not without its
moral, is told by Agassiz, Of his visit,
when young man, to the great German
naturalist, Prof Lorenz Oxen. The Pro-
fessor received his guest with warm en-
thusiasm, but with apparent embarrasS-
ment. He showed hi visitor the labra-
tory and the students at work also, his
cabinet and, lastly, his splendid library
of books pertaining to geological science,
a Collection worth some seven thousand
dollars, aud well worthy the glow Of pride
which the owner manifested as he expati-
ated or its excellence. The dreaded din
ner hour came, and now the embarrass-
ment Of the great German reached its
maximum point. M. Agassiz," said he,
" ith evident perturbation, "to gather and
keep up this library exacts the utmost
husbandry Of my pecuniary means. To
accomplish this, | allow myself no luxury
whatever. Hence my table is restricted
to the plainest fare. Thrice a week our
dinner boasts of meats; the other days
VIC have only potatoes and salt. | very
much regret that your visit has occurred
on potatoe day" And so the splendid
Switzer and the great German, with the
students, dined together on potatoes and
salt.

NoTARIEs. Stanford has issued
nOtariaI commissions to the following
gentlemen of this county-three Republi-
cans and one Union Democrat: NJ. X.
Shearer, G. W. Stort, G. j. Carpenter
and Benjamin Smith. WOrthingtOn, an
Abolition Democrat. introduced . bill in
the Legislature to turn out the old Nota-
Iies, 4 majority of whom are Democrats,
in order to give Gov. Stanford an OppOr-
tunity to appoint new set. He pledged
his word-a worthless pledge-that GOV.
Stanford would re-appoint al the loyal
Democratic incumbents, and by this
means induced the Union Democrats to
vote for his bill. Was Worthington q
dupe, or did he deliberately deceive his
cOileaguests, He occupies disgraceful
positiOn-he vas either tool Of the Re.
publicans or betrayer Of his party!

TIE survey of parallel of north lati-
tude, running through Ireland, England,
Belgium, Prussia and Russia, is nearly
completed, and the accurate length of .
base lire stretching from the west coast
of Ireland to the Ural mountains in Rus
STA, will shortly be ascertained. This will
be the greatest feat in trigOnOmetrical sur
veying ever accomplished. In order to
triangulate the country along the parallel,
stages seventy feet high have been erected
on the continent Of Europe.

A SIGNIFICANT FAcr.-PrOt. Henry, the
distinguished savan, and head Of the
Smithsonian Institute, testifies that he
knows but one among the scientific men
Of the United States who is an infidel
This fact speaks volumes, and shows con
clusively that the lights of science have
any other tendency than to make men
skeptical or unbelievers- It is usually
your pretenders to scientific knowledge,
or men wholly destitute of scientific at
tainments, who disbeIieve, or affect TO do
so. As general remark, we think that
it will be- found that vast majority Of
them belong to the latter class, being
woody ignorant, or, what is still worse,
mere smatterers,

CHRISTIAN SPIRIT. prisoner return
cd Gsom Richmond, Va, has shown the
editor of the Portland (Me.) Adrertiser, a
secession religious tract that was given
him, containing this extract:
4" DO not cherish hatred against the enemy
hate his ways; desire his overthrow in the
present struggle, and strike with hearty good
will, we must and should. But vindictiv eness
and railing against ScOtt and Lincoln and the
soldiers and the people of the North. are not
well. Let us rather initiate the Saviour of
mankind, who prayed for his enemies" &c.
Is not the above cOul1aeAdable and
worthy of Imitation Does il n6t breathe
the pure Christian spirit? The bitterest
partisans and most persistent and reicnt-
less vilii6ers Of the Southern people, are
the editors Of the political religious jour
nails of San Francisco. Conscious that
1.-The prayers Of the wicked availeth
nought," they have ceased that irksome
work, and turned their attention to the
more congenial task Of imprecating wor-
shippers of the same God, believers of the
same creed. Amiable and charitable men
are the sanctimonious editors oil the Id.
rOcate and Pdeifc! Christ prayed for
his enemies; they don't follow His exam,
pie, but they do profess to be His follow
ers!

Leniency not the Treatment

The correspondent Of the New York Times
from the valley OF the Shenandoah, who is ac-
companylng our troops in their reoccupation OF
that portion Of Virginia, evidently has seen
some Of the effects Of the mild policy IN the
treatment Of rebels, and he thus forcby gives
his opinion
One thing however, both citizens and soldiers
do insist upon, aud that is, that rs the army adj
vances again to reoccupy the lost ground one
hall OF 1t shall not be kept guarding the property
OF notorious rebels, while the very rebels whose
property they guard are engaged IN cutting the
throats ana destroying the property OF Union
men. They feel that the more lenIty is shown
to the rebels The more bold and arrogant they
become that until they are made to suffer IRON
loss OF properly they have deserted to pruwl
ABOUT and destroy the property OF others, they
will continue as they have done heretofore, 10
abuse the Union men among them as extensively
and savagely as ever Tins you may depend
upon as the UNANIMOUS feeling OF the friends of
the National Government throughout the entire
valley. Aud think il deserves the attention
Ut those who dictate to Commanding Generals,
all the more IRON the fact that have authority
Tor saying that is the openly and fervently ex-
pressed belief OF the entire army. The policy
OF considering rebels our brethren aud treating
them as such, will not do-they must be con-
sldertd the children OF the Government and as
they have not listened to the paternal admo-
milton, the Divine maxim, that he who spar
eth the rod spoileth the child must be applied
to them 10 short. the unanimous sentiment Is
that as we love tAcm and they continue in their
wicked ways, they must be chasIened, and that
severely, too.

June 18th.
The steamer, Stnte of Maine, arrived to-
day from White House with about $50 Of the
wounded in the recent engagement, these are
among the worst cases, and which it was
thought it would not be safe 10 carry such
distance as to New York or Philadelphia
Gen. Dix assumed command here yesterday
He Immediately red to Gen Mcclellan, who
assigned the troops at Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suf-
folk and vicinity to his command as d separate
corps.
Gen. Wool issued parting order, commend
ing the troops for their discipline aud efficiency
and deriving consolation Tor his regrets at
parting from them from the knowledge that
they hereafter will be commanded by a General
who can appreciate such soldierly qualities.
foRsREss MONROE, june 4. One Of the first
acts Of Gen. Dix is the relaxation Of all restric-
tions upon trade with Norfolk.
Fortress Monroe, June s. The steamer Van
derbIt arrived this morning from White House
with 500 wounded soldiers. The steamer Meta
mora, which took to City Point Mrs. Green
how and party, returned last night.
The steamer Massachusetts, with the priya-
teers on board, was lying alongside the wharf
at City Point. In answer to a notice given OF
her arrival, II train Of three baggage cars came
to City Point from Petersburg with two rebel
officers after the prlyateers, but not having
brought down Col. Corcoran' party, were not
gwen up

The Enlargement of General McClellan's
Command

1t Is amusing to note what small things make
the worshlppem oil Gen. Mcclellan jubilaut.
We have no desire to detract from any fame
which he has won, but the attempt to show
change IN the policy OF the administration, or
in the conduct Of the war, or in the disposition
OF the President or Secretary Stanton toward
Mcclellan, by Reason Of the recent var bulletin
transferring Gen. Dix to Fortress Monroe, and
ordering bin 10 report for duty to Gen. McClel-
Ian, rests upon very slight foundation 1t only
enlarges the Department OF Virginia BY embra-
cling in it Fortress Monroe aud Norfolk and
we presume it was generally supposed they were
before included in it. Gen McDJwcl's Gen
Banks and Con fremont cOmmandsremlin as
hitherto We have no idea that the Pres ldent
has changed his opinion Of Mcclellan, iayora-
bly, or adversely, within the last two months,
nor do we suppose that Secretary Stanton has
modified his to any wonderful extent rhey
have both OF them been desrous that Generals
should deal their blows upon the enemy, and
