THE ART OF OLD AGE.


An English reviewer thus glorifes Eng
lands finest specimens of the we'll preserv-
ed gentlemen -" The nobility of Eng
land supply many specimens of a fine old
age but it is difficult to find one so strik-
ing as Lord Palmerston. Well nigh four
score years have passed away since his
life began. They have been cventful
years, and few men have had more to say
and do in the events than the veteran Pre-
mier. In the year 1923 he had been for
nineteen years Secretary at War during
four or five successive administrations
and was described by Lord Brougham-
another wonder of the physiological Or
der-as a sort of hereditary member of
every cabinet 1t is unnecessary for our
purpose to 60 into any detail. He has
had hand in every European pie for
more than fifty years. He combines in
his life the history, and in his person the
qualities, of two successive generations.
He was secretary at War in the days of
Waterloo and Wellington, and is as ready
as younger men to entertain the last sug-
gestion of Sir William Armstrong. In
1909 he was in office; and in 1862, after
a life of responsibility that would have
exhausted the brains or the strength of
most men, he is Prime Minister, filling
the high place in no merely formol and
honorary way, but doing triumphant bat
tie single-handcd with his enemies with
all the shrewdness of age and all the
smartness of youth. We say this is
physiological phenomenon quite as much
as political one-an affair of temper and
temperament of health and habits, worthy
the study of physicians as we'll as poll
tlcians. In old age to be able to ride to
Harrow or Epson and back again to feel
the world still fresh to be conscious of no
want of sympathy with a generation in
which ones early contemporaries can
scarcely be detected to be cheerful and
genial able to make the Commons of
England laugh and vote at pleasure, arc
great qualities. Old age is the time for
showing the difference of men who in their
middle age seems much alike Why
should advanced age be so often spent in
feebleness and frailty? Why should not
the vigor of the middle period be project.
ed into the last? The answer to such
queries must be looked for in the study Of
such lives as that of Lord Palmerston
We should greatly relish speech from
the noble lord on the art of attaining tc
an enviable old age. Meantime we car
only guess at the secret but we have ne
doubt about essential parts of ia GER
tain cheerfulness of disposition, exercise
good digestion waiting on appetite, ant
withal temperance, especially in the mat

nm- The New York World gives, as an
indication that the rebellion is to be aban-
doned, the significant fact that New Orleans
buyers have made their appearance in the
former city for dry goods. One or two
Georgia dealers have cancelled their old
Indebtedness, and are negotiating for new
stock. The carly destruction of the rebel
forces is regarded as absolutely certain by
those who are well qualified to judge. The
restoration of the Union, in spirit as well
as in fact, is near at hand when the business
men of the South give such an indication Of
their feeling that resistance to the Union
arms has become futile aud must cease.

The Attack on New Orleans.

The country may be at any time surpris-
ed BY the announcement of stupendous
achievements at New Orleans The prepar-
tions for the assault have been conducted
with so much secresy that there is no gen.
eral apprehension of the importance of the
expedition that has advanced upon this me-
tropolis Of the South. This arrnsda COM
prises over two hundred vessels, armed and
transport, including the terrible mortar feet
of Capt. Porter. The Hatteras and Por:
Royalexpeditions are trifling in comparison.
We have no certain means of Judging wha.
may be the plan of operations. 1t has
been announced from the Navy Department
that an attack on the Rigolets or passes to-
Lake Pontcliatrain was intended. This
would have to be effected by vessels of Eghs
draft; but as the feet includes steam frie-
a.es which would be unable to navigate
these water, it wonld seem iiS::. an attack
is intended by the river route also. A
report comes by the way of Havana that
our vessels had crossed the bar Of the
Southwest Pass; which, however, would
seem to lack authenticity, however probable
in itself. 1t is quite likely to prove that
the attack has been made from the lake and
the river simultaneously, if not also from
the land by the forces under General But.

IN. p,o, A.ain., the Presidents Lite.

For long time it was believed that an
Italian barber in Baltimore was the Orsini
who undertook to slay President Lincoln
on his journey to the capital in February
1861, and it is possible he was one OF the
plotters; but it has come out on recent
trial of a man named Byrne, in Richmond,
that he was the captain of the band that
was to take the life of Mr.. Lincoln. This
Byrne used to be a notorious gambler OF
Baltimore, and emigrated to Richmond
shortly after the 10Th of April, of bloody
memory. He was recently arrested in
JEFF. Davis's capital on charge of keeping
a gambling house, and of disloyalty to the
chief traitors pretended Government.
Wigfall testified to Byrne's loyalty to the
rebel cause, and gave in evidence that
Byrue was the captain of the gang who
were to kill Mr.. Lincoln, and upon this
evidence, it appears, he was let 60. VI
course, to be guilty Of such an intended
crime Is mantle large enough to cover up
all other sins again society and the Divine
law So Wigfall has revealed the Balti-
more Orsini at last. What will your
Vidocq say to this? We are, nevertheless,
grateful to Mr.. Kennedy for his successful
prevention of the scheme of assassination.-

President Lincoln's emancipation mes
sage had attracted much attention in Eng
land. The Liverpool Post says there car
be no doubt it will have an incalculable
effect in Europe, and that effect will be
most favorable to the Northern cause.
The London Times, in an editorial on the
subject, says it is the best news since the
split. The Presidents avowed object is to
recover to the Union the border States.
The proposition is important, not for its
intrinsic likelihood of acceptance, but sim.
ply because it is proposition and the srs,
bid made towards putting an end to the
war. The North may gradually rise in it's
offers until something acceptable has been
put forth. The only reply of the South to
President Lincoln has been resolution IF
the Confederate House Of Representatives
to burn all the cotton and tobacco that may
De in danger Of falling into the hands Of
the invaders. In every point of view the
proposal of the President gives great scope
for speculation, and perhaps some glimpse
OF hope, but it is for what it may herald
and not for what it is.

troops were getting weary Of war, and
clamorous for furloughs.

A GREAT BATTLE IMPENDING.

1t is now supposed by military men, and
others who profess to be we'll informed,
that the next important battle will be fought
at Corinth, Mississippi. The rebels boast
that they have larger, better drilled and
better armed force at aud contiguous to that
point, than they have before had at any
other time or place during the war. They
claim to have from IS, 900 to loo, 900 men,
under the general command of Beauregard.
Some Of them, for the want of better weap-
cns, are armed with pixies, huge knives and
other implements not generally used in
civilized warfare.
Corinth is small village in Tishamingo
county, in the extreme northeast corner Of
Mississippi. 1t is on the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad, about one hundred
miles east of Memphis, at the junction of
Mobile and Ohio Railroad. With the rail.
road facilities, the rebels can in very short
time concentrate very large force. The
country about Corinth is very poor, but
little wealth and but few slaves. The reb-
els have shown considerable sagacity in
selecting this point for their next battle
field.

Monday morning Parson Brownlow met
some thirty Methodist preachers at the
Methodist Book Concern, Cincinnati, and
made brief speech. He knew only three
Methodist preachers who were loyal. Bish-
op Soule condemned the rebellion; he did
not dare do more, because he would be
hung, old as he is. The Bishop had to
swear to support the Confederacy. Mr..
Brownlow said the Southern churches were
ruined for good. Union people would not
hear secession preachers, nor secessionists
those who were loyal.
He (Brownlow,) owed his escape to the
protests of his friends in East Tennessee
(which is Union five to one), and to the
political civilian leaders of Tennessee, say
ing if be (Brownlow) was kept twelve of
their leaders would be sacrificed. His wife
and children were detained as hostages for
his good conduct" He told his wife to
make up her mind to be executed, as he
should certainly speak and write against
the Southern Confederacy.
The worst men, he remarked, in the
Southern Confederacy are Methodist, Bap-
tist, Presbyterian and Episcopalian preach
ers. They drink and swear week days.
and preach Sundays. When they become
secesh they bid farewell to honesty, truth,
and decency. The Confederacy originated
in lying, stealing, and perjury. Floyd did
the stealing, the common masses the lying
and fourteen Senators from the cotton
States the perjury-the latter class, while
still retaining their seats in the United
States Senate, and making a pretense Of
observing their oatbs, but at night, till
twelve O'clock, holding secret meetings,
sending dispatches to their respective States
to pass ordinances of secession, to seize
forts, &c.
Among other instances illustrating the
spirit prevailing among the Southern clergy
Mr.. B:ownlow said that the pastor of the
First Presbyterian church in Knoxville
called union prayer-meeting to pray that
Burnside's feet might sink and the block.
ade be raised. The same minister had said
that he would rather use a bible printed
and bound in hell than one from the North.
Also, that Jesus Christ was bora on South
ern soil, and that all his APOSTLES were
Southern men, except Judas Iscariott who
was Northern man. This was said openly
from his pulpit on Sunday.
Mr.. Brownlow is of opinion that there
are better men iu the place where the Pres
byterian parson looked for his next edition
of the Bible, than the Southern leaders,
He had seen good men taken out Of his
prison in knots, one by one, and hung
fathers and their sons. He was Of opinion
that it was time to hang on our side.
