THE REPORTED CAPTURE OF MosnB.--The re-
ported capture Of Mobile comes to us in such a
vague and indefinite shape that we can hardly
credit IT, And yet It may be true. II rebel
report; and the rebels have seldom reported any
misfortune to their cause which has not turned
out to be true. Some days ago we were inform
cd from rebel sources that General Butler was
at Pensacola; next that he had appeared on the
mainland at the head OF seven thousand men;
next that Mobile was In comparatively help
less position from the withdrawal o. The rebel
troops to other quarters, and now comes this
rebel report that Mobile is lost il may be true,
or Il may be an idle conjecture. We have no
doubt. however, hat before many months are
over this report will come by authority from
our land and naval forces In occupation cf the

"A Coon EXAMPLE FOR CANDIDATEs.-We have
repeatedly urged upon the candidates for Con-
gress in the city districts the propriety Of
coming out fairly and squarely, and stating
their opinions as to the future conduct Of the
war; and informing the public, whose s'liirages
they demand, whether, If elected, they will sus-
tain the President in all practical measures to
put down the rebellion. One candidate Gene
raj Hiram Walbridgc-has set good ex-
ample to the Others. He has gone forth into
Che highways, and, like ST. Paul, proclaimed the
faith that is in him and the reason thereof. In
open air meetings, in the public squares, in
front Of the HERALD Office, from platforms, and
evon from the box seats Of carriages, he has an
nounced his principles and laid bis past re-
corr, sustained by piles Of documentary evil
dence--ancs his future programme before the
people. Why do moi tie other Congressional
candidates do likewisef II Is not too late yet.
There is one day more. Speak out, gentlemen.

INponrANr TO SOLDIERS OF FoREIoS BRrH-
We perceive that the law Of Congress enabling
foreigners TO become naturalized citizens for
faithful service in the army has been put into
operation for the first time within . fsw days
Two officers Of foreign birth, attached to the
Thirty-scvcnth New York regiment, were ad-
mitted to the rights Of citizenship In the Circuit
Court Of the District Of Columbia on Friday,
having proved one years faithful service In the
army oS the United States. As this law applies
equally to privates, hundreds Of unnaturalized
soldiers may be admitted to citizenship without
waiting for the expiration Of the five years. term
of residence IN the country, simply by procur-
;no certificate OF years honest service from
tbeir commanding officer, and presenting their
claims thereupen 20 the United States Circuit
Court. No doubt this privilege will be largely
claimed.

Calls on Horses.

AS the heat and labor of the season
increases, horses will suffer from various
flesh wounds, which, if not Immediately
cured, will cause great suffering to the
horse, and waste Of time and temper to
the owner. Let, therefore, hint or two
ON the AmeIi an Agriculturist be now

"Prevention is better than cure" In
the first place, be sure that your harness
is in perfect working order. See to it
especially that the collar fits well, and is
smootle If the inner surface is rough,
it must chafe, and soon wear off the skin.
A loose layer of leather under the collar
is a good contriyance to lessen friction
upon the animals neck and shoulders
While spring work is pressing, let tho
horses shoulders be washed with solu

What IL Soldiers Wife Thinks of
Buying Negroes.

The wife of volunteer, residing in
Lenox, Pa.--Mr. Crows district-writes
to inquire whether any means are to be
provided for the future relief of soldiers
families. She says her husband has had
no pay for four months and adds:
81 think Congress had better stop talk
ing about buying the negroes, unless
they can pay the soldiers regularly, SO
that their families can have something
to live on; or, if they would take one
half the amount they propose to pay to
the South for the negroes, and divide 1t
among the volunteers families, 1t would
be moro to their credit"
There is a great deal of truth IN the
above extract; and if the men who are
fooling away their time at Washington
in babbling about benefiting the colored
race, would first listen to the complaints
Of the whites, it might save them nom
the storm of popular indignation which
will vet sweep them into merited obscu-
rity. This Woman, who has sent her
husband to fight for her country express
es the fee ling that is now becoming uni
yersal all over the land. Will the rep
resentative from Lonox, and others, take
heed

Oh! her forehead is white as tho wind drirted

And the rush of mad Treason babe Mortimer to

Young Raymond resolved to depart for the wars,
And conquer die meath the stripes and the stars
"Sball the bright bond Of Union" he lnnnfuly

"Be severed by traitors-our banner dcGcd?
No, never! my loved one, and kindred most dear
Fare YOU well! I'll away like bold Volunteer!
Oh! sad is the parting when young hearts cntwne,
Firmly bound as tho tcndrils that cling to the

And scading the tcar.drops that mount to the eyes
When visions Of focmen and bloodshed arise,

That dimmed the brown eye Of our fairy like Belle,
When she met her aflianced one eve in the grove,
Where, of yorc, they had pledged to each other

But her spirit took fire; maiden cowardce fed,
At the thought of her country, and calmly she sad

the power to mend and better it. "Char
