No news ever Afforded greater salts
faction than the intelligence that our
forces are approaching Charleston. Not
on account of The strategic Importance
of the place. But there is a feeling, deep
and universal, that Charleston, ifno other
spot, ought to know the full weight of our
POwer.-Many a man would like to see
the site of it sown with salt. The focus
and original home of treason must no.
escape unframed The moral effect Of
capturing the city aud raising the flag on
Fort Sumpter would be great beyond des-
criPtion. Our commanders appear to be
repeating the process tried so successfully
at Fort Pulaski. Of getting in the rear.
The forts in the harbor aro avoided by
going up StonO Inlet to the soath of the
city. The gunboats have driven therebels
from the batteries on the islands adjacent
to the Inlet, aud at the latest advices had
approached to within four miles ofthe CITY
Our soldiers have advanced from Beau
fort to Pocotaligo and have cut the rail-
road, SO that reinforcements cannot be
sent from Savannah. A.battle must soon
take place. We hope that the next arri.
val from Port Royal will bring us the
news of tho capturo Of this city. The
most ferOcious patriot would be satisfied
ct hearing simultaneously. of the fall Of
Charleston and Richmond.

AoOSs-l-
We have, from the balloon corps a most
startling account Of rebel mltfny. Two
or three days ago, whilst taking obserTa.
tons, the balloonists observed 6uite a
commotion in the rebel camp. A large
party Of troops were drawn out, and from
the hurrytng of horsemen and preparation
OF arms he first thought there was 70 be an
attack upon our forces Soon, however.
he observedth troops take a position and
direct their pieces at their rebel brethren.
Field glasses being brought to bear; dis.
covered the curiouSly acting party 10 be
North Caroliniaus, and that they were Ia
king position of defence against the at
tack OF others in tho rebel army, Fire
was soon opened by both parties. VolIgy
amer volley of musketry was poured into
each others ranks, and the battle sEayed
to aud fro, for q long time Undecided
Soon, however, the North Caroifniaus an
peaEed to be getting the worst, aud direct
" broke and he6-the Others gaining a
complete victory. ~ ifi}' 2 y
send yon the story as Iheard 1t. For
some time the rebel guns opposite Mechan.
lcsXi!le have been turned towards Rich.
mond, and on the day on Which'it is said
this mutiny aud battle took place, a great
smoke y arose from the enemy,s camp, and
sysolleys OF musketry could be distinctly
heard during several hours. The North
Carolinians are known to be diseonteuted.
When prisoners are taken In battle Il &
generally discovered that the North Caro-.
ltntans among them have not fired their
muskets, and that they make no resistance

Thc Extent of the Chnnsr.

| Crossing yesterday the threshold of
I palatial jeweIry store in Chestnut street
we observed at the counter a man accom-
panied by an ovcrlressei female. p,vi,o,
for thousand dollar set Of diam ouds IA,
had then purchased. The buyer Of tn,
gliterng trinklets, less than a year ago
had as little prospect Of owuing a thpn
sand dollar SET Of diamonds as Of inner
iting the fee simple Of all Golconda.-
The gems were duly disposed upon the
person OF his companion, and consign
( ing the empty ca,ket to his pocket, tb,

The buyers are all, or nearly all, new

purchase, 0r bring their watches to be put
in order. So far from buying from us
they oltener come with request for the
purchase back OF gems bought from Us
years before"
'Who are your present best custo.

"Just such persons as those you pass

"Not always directly, Jut generally by

Looking Ahead.

We once iell in with business man,
and he was person of wide experience,
too, who said that, whatever might hap
pen him, he always looked sixty DAYS
ahead rather than sixty days behind
This was sensible, and there was pro.
found philosophy in in it. For the hab
it Of looking on the dark side of matters
soon begets deSpondont feeling in the
heart, and disenclneS a man TO make any
exertion at all. To look forward to etter
days, however, ana to the turn of fortune
for better times, is naturally calculated
to inspire one it'll enthusiasm, to stimu-
late one with the new wine Of hope. 1t
makes all imaginable difference whether
a man disponds or hopes. Hence, when
blast of trouble, the true way is to turn
your back upon it, to refuse to have any.
thing to d, with it, to Gorswear all con.
nection with its threat, or promises -
Look ahead, and look up What is gone;
is gone there is no help for it. Work
for better fortune, and the bad will desert
you in absolute disgust at your imprcssi-
bi,ity.

"Well, would you answer to the name

Political Preaching Cured.

The Hartford Times relates the follow
ing A Congregational Church, in a
ncighboring State, got SO completely en-
listed in one Of the Presidential contests,
that little stten,ion was given to religious
questions. The minister was constantly
preaching praying. and exhorting upon
political issues, and bis deacons and lay
men followed suit at the prayer and con
ference meetings. Finally a worthy oil |
farmer, one of the staunchest and best
mcmb bers of The church, and firm, un-
deviaiing Democrat, was called upon to
oiier prayer.
60, Lord" sail he, "rphold the Dem q.
ocatic party, which has received thy sup
port ever since the great Jellerso oman
struggle. Continue to bless that party
which has, under thy protection and prov
idcnce, b. ought great blessings upon this
Republic. If it be thy pleasure, and !
believe it to be, oh, carry that party
through this struggle to complete ri.
nmph.' Oh, bless the opponents Of the
Democracy personally, but uttcrally de
stroy their fantical and injurious schemes,
if it be thy will to do so, as ! veril be-
lieve it is. Be on the side of the De-
mocracy. Q Lord, as thou hast been
and in their peaceful pursuits, instead Of
warning wickelly, man against brother.
And, oh, bescech thee especially to free
the Christian Churches from the political
strife and bitterness which are rendering
them asunder, destroying their usefulness
anl turning them unhappily into mere
political associations. Let us heal some.
thing of thy word and mearcy on the
Sabbath. We have already been piled
to the fullness with political fanaticism,
and our minister has become stump or.
ator against the good old party which
thou in thy wisdom, hath upheld so
long, and so repeatedly guided to victory,
and sustained in the establishment Of
sound measures. Oh, turn his mind from
these things, and direct his attention to
his Legitimate religious duties, or turn
him over directly in the hands of the
Abolition party and let them take care
of him; and provide US a true minister OF
the gospel. At any rate, the present
state of things cannot last. IF politics
are to rule, | shall claim one half Of the
time in behalf of the Democratic party,
so that there may be fare discussion
within these walls Amen"
This was q stnmpcr. | was the first
prayer ever publicly offered in that church
for :he success of the Democratic party
and its nominees, though hu DR. DIS of
prayers and exhortations had been made
against that party. When the old man
had finished, there was silence of half
an hour, and the meeting then adjourned
And thus ended the political preaching in
that church. From that time forward.
the minister attended to his gospel duties
and left all political questions to be set.
teld by the people outside of the church
Again the society prospered, and there
