THE WAR.

The Hdependoa of last week
takes the following rather sanguine
view Of the present aspect of the
war:
The appearance Of the war s IN the
highest DEGREE encouraging. The two
splendid cavalry expeditions of StonemaE
and GrierSon have shown how totally ex-
hausted of fighting men is the territory
oftherebels. Their whole available force
i massed Oh their borders, and when
their present armies are crushed they can
raise 10 more. Moreover, il is now true
that nearly all the Southern men who
went into the rebellion with high hopes,
hearty good will, and thorough resolu-
ton, are deqd Their present iorce Is
largely composed of men faint hearted.
Discouraged, really loyal, 100 young, too
old, and conscribed by force. lt is a
fact already stated, and vouched for 10
a. anew to-day bv Col. Thorne, recently
in charge Of the public works Of New
Orleans. froln instances wishin has own
knowledge. that in the Southwest white
men are hunted with dogs ior the army.
And the rebels are filing up their ranks
with negroes.
Atthe same time the aspect of our own
operations j. radically changed. Our
generals operate with cavalry. They
strike at the rear ana At the communlca-
tious of the orcmy; DESTROY their sup
aies, tr;.bten and paralvze their cor1s,
and attack or defend witA strategic and
tactical alaDtatious. Our armies are set,
not exclusively to take some useless town
or fort, but to destroy the rcJei arm.es.-
In short. our forces are stronger shan
ever, well supplied and equipped, with
courage and resolution high, aud-which
I is the best Of all. and has never been tie
case at the opening Of spring campaign
beiore-commanded by generals who hate
4 the rebellion and love their country, and
mean to DESTROY the rebels by fghtug-
And the Loyalty and determination of the
North keep fliI ahead of the spirit of the
ARMY, ana tie voice of those who whine
and srumbie for peace at aay price Is be
ING choked and qucnched.
All the Sims show that the loyal nation
/ is preciuitatng its hosts upou the rebel
lion with greater force than ever. and
that the power Of the rebellion, instead
of rising accordingly, is on the wane.

AMBITION.


TO be ambitions is generally re-
carded as little less than a crime;
and poets have sung and philoso-
pliers have moraliZed upon It's OWL
effects. There is no doubt that a
person may be too ambitious, or al
low ambition to misdirect him; vet
laudablc ambition is not only
praisowortby, but something that
no one should be without Because
person is ambitions if does not
follow that he must be selfish and
unprincipled. As well argue that
because a person Is strong and skill
full. that he must be q desperate
villain,
1t is the duty Of every person to
be ambitious; To become as import
ant a member OF community Is he
can. la other words, 90 make the
best possible usc of the talents that
have been given him. Deprive q
person Of the hope of rising higher
than the position he occupies, and
all incentive to labor earnestly and
cncrgotically is lost. The Editor
should strive TO make his paper
the very hest one of the kind pub
lished. The Divine should not be
content to cuunciatc old theories
in the same manner that his pred

TIE POETS SONG.
Dr. ALFRED TENSYsov.

The rain had falle7, the Poet arose,
lie passed by the town, and out of the
street,
y light wind blew from the gates Of the
sun,
And waves Of shadow went over the
wheat,
And be sat him down in lonely place,
And chanted 4 melody loud and sweet,
That made the wild-swan pause in her
cloud,
And the lark drop down at his feet.
The swallow stopt as he hunted the bee,
The snake sliDt under a spray,
The wild hawk stood with the down on
his beak
And stared, with his foot on the prey
And the nightingale thought, Il have
sung many songs,
But never one so gay,
For he sings Of what the world VIII be
When the years have died away"

STUDY THE CHARACTER or
YOUR PUPFLS.

The successful disciplinarian
needs TO be a thorough student in
human nature. An ability TO read
the peculiarities of his pupils, will
show him that. rs they are widely
different in their character, TEN
perament. and degree of cultiva-
ton. so must his methods of deal
ing with those pupils be as differ
ent. and specially adapted 20 the
circumstances of each particular
case. The pupil who is duh of
comprehension, diflident, and for
that reason often falls short in the
performance of duty. needs not

a passion az the least exciting
cause. and breaks over all rules
and sense Of proprIety, will require
TO be met with the utmost decis-
ION. coolness, and unimpassioned
reasoning. The boy Of low, vul-
gar tastes and tendencies. and the
shameless girl, must be kindly and
plainly shown their great mistake
in their estimation Of what is wor-
thy and what is not; and must be
led in the better way by judicious
counsels and lofty motives. Tho
malicious and unpripcipled must
be disarmed by the teachers own
marnanimitv and integrity, and
the tHpil who has become preju-
diced, needlessly perhaps, against
his teacher, must be disabused by
kindness, especially in little things.
Those roeuish boys and girls
good-natured. but thoughtless;
brim full OF fun, but meaning no
harm-must not be harshly dealt
with, but gently checked, and
must be shown that while there is
time and a place for all things
proper, trihing with the precious
time of school, with the rights
of other pupils. and with the au-
thoritv of the teacher, is little
too serious TO be indulged in for
mere sport
Then there is another class of
pupils whose management requires
great tact and prudence We
mean those children who are neg
lected and abused at home, and
whose comtenances SO often wear
the marks OF sadness and of sOr-
row. They need the teachers ut

AFTER THE BATTLE.
BY VIRGINIA F. TOWNSEND.

1t was over ut last. The sun,
which had walked slow and calm
through the long hours OF that
terrible day. had cone down in =

hills. and now the stars were com
inc out swiftly, like golden petals
scattered all over an azure sky.
And the stayS looked down on
the battlefield. rs they had come
out and looked down for scores Of
years on the fair young land which
had arisen in her strength and
beauty, until amid NIL the nations
there was none to comparr with

was the most terrible sight which

conflict had ragged hot and terrible

The hearts of the distant NOM
tains had shuddered with the
thunder OF cannon, and the earth
had drunk blood rs in autumn She
drank in the cquinoctial rains, but
at last the day'S awful worl, was
done. and the NIGHT winds lifted
the GRAY banners of smoke from
the battlefield.
The AR was full OF heat and
smell OF powder. the dead lay
thick together. with stark, gha~t!y
faces on the trampled grass: the
wounded lav thicker. filing the aii

SOMETHING ABOUT PEACE.

One of my friends who IS some
what tinctured with that kind OF
sympathetic feeling for our
Southern brethren that inclines
him to look upon the wrongs and
insults we have received at their
hands more in sorrow than in
anger" asks. ''Are you. who de

to peace on the basis Of concession
and compromise. in favor of eternal

demoralization Of the people, in =
retrogression in knowledge, and
I'm all Arts and Sciences that be

not in favor OF war except for good
and sufficient cause, as q last
resort, after all reasonable and
honorable means TO avert it have

there are cases in which The
avoidance Of this dernicr resort is
more fruitful Of evil than waritsclf
and, added to that, this is not Z
war of our own choosing True,
it might have been avertcd hy dis

have been avoided by denying the
RIGHT of the majority to rule; and
bv DENYING the right of fhs

Believing, as l do. that in tho
