Those TOrpedOes.

MIR Fulton of the Baltimore American
gives the following respecting the attack on
Charleston:
The reason why Charleston has not been
destroyed by the iron-cad fleet, even if Sum-
ter had not been taken, is the dreadful fear
that overShadowed the fleet authorities of
rebel torpedoes. FarragLt had the same to
encounter at New Orleans with wooden ships,
but he dashed into his work and considered
that the risk of life was part of the duty
of naval officer; that great risks were
necessary to secure great results
The Secretary Of the Navy sent down here
appliances to be used in removing the OBJ
structlons in the harbor. The rats and tor
pedoes have been here nearly two months,
and the attempt to take Charleston has been
abandoned without their usefulness being
considered for moment. One of the RATS
was taken in by the Weehawken, with Crap
nels attached to it to catch torpedoes, but
they refused to have the torpedoes connected
with it. They were afraid the torpedoes
might kick backward, although they had
been experimental with, and even the raft
had not been injured
One of these torpedoes, containing seven
hundred pounds of powder, would have
swept away the obstructons in the harbor
and enabled the feet yesterday afternoon to
go up and lombard the city. They were,
however, not used, and this great national
retribution was abandoned"

You are now an old man, and do not expect

you, to convey useful hints and lessons to
Others. l would not willingly give you pain
1t is not pleasure to me to wound your self
love or to disturb the compacency which
you entertain amid The wreck Of your family
hopes. 1t is not delightful to assure you
that YOU life has been huge mistake from
the beginning, and that your children owe
the miscarriage of their lives to the training
which you still seem to regard as alike the
offspring and parent of Christian wisdom
If there were not others in the world who are
making the same mistake that you have
made, and moving forward to the same sad
family disaster, you should hear from me no
word that you could shape into a reproach.
But you will soon pass away, with the COM

You beset him behind and before, BY pettv
annoyances. You took away hi, business.
You blackened his reputation. You sneered
at him in public and private. In this way,
you 5anished from Jonesvile many men who
would have been an honor to t, and finally
allenated from yourself the hearts of your
own kindred. You drove whole village in
to opposition to yourself. You forced them
to selt-assertion that manifested itself in q

Printing Paper.

Publishers of newspapers are watching
the paper market with as much anxiety as
Egyptians do the Nile-with this difference
that they want so great a rise that the water
will submerge the land, Fl ON Upper Egypt to

producing sediment, while We are anxious fol
a fall. But with the suspension of a vast
amount Of book-publishing, of kind not
essential to the public welfare; with multi
tudes of newspapers diminished in size, and
many others discontinued; with a general
clearing out of attics and turning thousands
of tons Of old ledgers, papers, garments,
&C., over TO the paper-makers; with greater
care and economy .I saving fron, the fire
fabrics convertible, by chemical p,,cssses, in
to sheets of white pape:-wi,h all il-ss cir
cumstances, there is yet very little if any de-
crease in the price of printing paper. Of the

promising specimens were given to the pub

The Realities of a Soldiers Life,

Weep for the soldiers when the weather is
bad, for they feel it rs You never have Vet.
Put man in the fed and soak him with
RAIN; be has no warm change of cloth 'ng
to comfort him; chill his hands or feet. he
has no register and i.,pzrs to thaw out the
frost weary MS body, he has no soft bed to
charm the ache away; put his stomach out of
order, he has no chance to stop and with
delicate home tit-bits recover his shaken
balance He must dry his clothes on his
body, chafe his hands and feet into warmth
or lei item stay numb, catch his half-rations
of sleep by thr side of The road OF in the
burrows of the field; draw his belt tighter
and push on without word of complaint
He knows no house nor umbrella when If
rains, SHOWS, or is cold; no fan and very
likely no shade, when the sun beats hetlv.
Put ten or fifteen pounds of knapsack on his
back, four pounds of cartridges drawing
down on one side, six or eight pounds of
hayersaek and canteen on the other, twelve
pounds Of gun in his hands, two pounds
of extra cartridges in his pockets, beside his
clothes and what necesSarieS he carries, and
then ask him for a long and rapid forced
march. That is heavy ma ching order.
Pretty soon the blanket is taken from the
knapsack and thrown into the bushes, then
the overcoat follows suit, then the spar.
cartridges. then the rations are minimized,
then the mel drop out and sit down by the
side Of the road to catch their breath and
mop away tic perspiration. All then the
truly manly officer finds a chance to take
tender care of his men. We think of one
sturdy captain, who marched hardly five of a
late fifty miles, tramp without knapsack on
his back and gun on his shoulder for one
and another of his tired men. After this.
when men tells yon feebly that he isn't
strong enough TO 60 TO war, YOU NAV feel
more like believing him than you have.
There are often times in this war for which
camp life is only preparatire, which calls
into play every bit of sinew, wire, p luck, that
there is in man; and unless he can come
out Of each of those times ready, after proper
rest, to 90 through i; again and again, he
falls short of the true idea of " "soldierly
endurance "-Spriaqfetd Republican,.

Before going into the fight at Charleston,

flagship, the Ironsides. One of the corres-
pondents says: "From the admiral down to

there are exceptions to this, that some are

From Deacon Solomon Jones to Timothy Titcomb.
/ JONESyILLE, -, 1868.
/ Dear Sir: 1t has been intimated to me
| that you are the same person who, under
what consider very much better name
than Titcomb, taught school in this village
many years ago. have read all your books
without once suspecting it and was quite
surprised to learn that the erratic young
person who-you certainly must confess
then entertained many wild and dangerous
notions, had grown so discreet and wise.
cannot but believe that your early intimacy
with the Joneses, secured to you by the
primitive custom of boarding the schoolma.-
ter "around," has had some influence in de-
veloping your common sense. Your writing
always seemed to come natural to you and
regret now that we had not taken some
measures to secure your services as editor of
the Jonesville Express.
As you must be aware am past my prime.
Jonesville, too, has seen many changes since
you left US. We cannot do very mnch to
entertain you now, but it would give me
much pleasure to see you here. You would
find the old stock of Joneses passed, ,'or pass
ing, away. The children you taught are be-
come men and women, and many of them
have left US for distant parts. 1t gives me
pain to to tell you that my own family have
not turned out as we'll as | had hoped and
prayed they might. You will bear me witness
that gave them line upon line and precept
upon precept, and that all of them were train
ed up in the right way. They have departed
rom my eounsels, and | am left without
comfort in them-for what reason, in the
mysteries of Providence, | know not. am
not alone in my misfortune, for | think the
Joneses generally are degenerated. The
village itself is not the model Of morality and
coed order that it used to be.
If you canrot visit Jonesv ville-and people
tell me that you are very busy-why will you
not write letters to US? You knew there &c :
great deal of human nature in the Joneses
and, if you must write books, why-maSe a
book out of your letters to Us and it will
answer for all humanity. Come. now, my
friend; give you plan and project, and
you'll not do better than adopt them.
| am yours, very tiulv,

TIMOTHY TITCOMB'S REPLY.

Dear Sir: | remeber you, and all nv old
friends in Jonesville very well and | know
much more about them than they seem to
know about me. 1t has been with me IA
matter partly of painful and partly of pleasant
interest TO watch the progress of my old
pupils. and to keep up my acquaintance with
their family history. Your proposition, there
fore, does not find me unprepared to act and
thank you for it. The Joneses are like
other families. We can find among those
who bear the name types Of all the life and
character to be found in the world and
when speak individually 20 the Joneses |
speak also to the Smiths and Browns. As
this proposition comes from you, YOU will
not object, of course. to my addressing
the first of the series to you, or to such
plainness of speech as may feel called upon
to employ. AS do not use your real name
and as the coat shall cat, not ONLY for YOU
but for your kindred. will fit SO many men,
no one will ever suspect YOU, and we shall
have our secret among ourselves.
Yours truly,

were-and threw it with deadly DIN upon
whatever portion of Hooker's largely extended
lines they from time to time found weakest.
They. of course, exposed masses of infantry to
be- plowed through and through BY murderou'
,olleys of shell and grape; but they knew the
price of success. and were ready to pay 1t.
Their losses in killed and wounded probably
exceed our own, and in prisoners are scarcely
if at all, interior. Yet they will claim, and
Justly, great triumph, in that they have
checked and turned back the advance OF the
Army of the Potomac.
As to the effect Of this repulse on the
progress and issues of the war, il is too early
to speculate. All our knowledge of what is
vet future is summed up in the axiom that
GOD REIGNs, and that all injustice and oppres-
sion are surely to be vanquished and over
thrown. If The loyal Millions deserve to tri.

According to Rebel accounts, Gen. stoneman
did his work splenddy. His men moved in
three columns, cutting the Richmond and Fred.

various places, some within eight or nine miles
of Richmond. Up to Monday night Only about
forty of them had been captured. BY way Of
Fortress Monroe we hear that part of Stone

day. This is the column that the Rebel papers
say was moving down the north branch Of the
