has lived and labored for abolition. The pre-

word lived as wiches Jay their prayers, backwards.

A safe and Humane General.

General MEADE wrote letter to friend in
New Jersey Immediately previous to his late
movement across the Rapidan. in which occurs
the following paragraph:
al am fully aware of the great anxiety in the
publis mind that something should be done.
am in receipt of many letters. some from persons
in high positions. telling me | had better have
my army destroyed. and the country filed up
with the bodies Of the soldiers, that remain in
active. Whilst DO not suffer myself TO be in
huenced by such communications, | am and have
been most anxious to effect something. but am
determined. at every hazard, not TO attempt any
thing unless my judgment indicates probability
of accomplishing some object commensurate
with the destruction Of life necessarily involved
I would rather a thousand times be relieved,
charged with tartness or incompetency. than
have nv conscience burdened with wanton
slaughter, uselessly, Of brave men, or with hay
ing jeopardized the great cause by doing what |
thought wrong"
These are the words Of true soldier and q
wise, prudent leader. Whatever the fight t-any-
cost people msy say, we believe the country at
large will warmly indorse the course Of General
MADE. he is at least safe General--just the
sort of one we want in front OF Washington.

tains the following:
The Yankee officers at the Libby Prison will,
we understand. celebrate their captivity the pres

the order of the day. We have been favored
with glance Of an advance proof of the bill Of

Reconnaissance in the Sky.
From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser

From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
NJ. James Glaisher, who last year made
eight trips into the upper atmosphere,
where he reached much higher elevation
than had been attained before, has resu-
med his operations the present spring
One Of the principal objects sought in those
celestial excursions has been to determine
the law of decrease of temperature with
increase of elevation. The scale that had
been accepted up to last year was fall
ing OF the mercury one degree for every
three hundred feet of elevation from the
earth surface. Mr.. G. states that the re-
suit OF his several ascents made last year
was that, when the sky was clear, a de-
crease OF one degree of temperature took
place within one hundred feet of the
ground, while at the height of 10000 feet
a space of fully 1000 had TO be passed
through for similar change. 1t will thus
be seen that instead of there being a uni
form decrease with given number of feet
traversed, the decline takes place only in
inverse proportion to the rarity of the at
mOsphere.
The last trip made by this celebrated
4ronaut took place on the 31st ultimo,
from the Crystal Palace grounds at Lon
don. During the 1st mile the thermome-
ter sunk from 80 to 33a degrees At the
second emile post" the mercury had gone
down to 26 degrees; at the third to four
teen degrees; at three and three quarters
to 8 degrees. At this elevation warm
current was entered, raising the thermom-
eter to y degrees. In a few minutes this
was passed, and on reaching four and a
halt miles the temperature was precisely at
zero This was at five O'Clock in the at
ternoon. The wind was gentle, blowing
most OF the way from the east. The air
was quite dry, both before and after leav
ing the ground.
The @ronaut speaks of the roar OF the
city as being distinctly audible when he
was a mile high. The clouds (cumulO
hung beneath him like patches of shining
wool, Railroad trains appeared to crawl
like catterpillars. At the height of three
and a half miles the face looked like glow
ing purple, but this gradually turned to a
deep blue. One of the travellers, taking
hold OF the grappel screamed out with
pain as if he had been scalded In the
upper regions the sky had the aspect of
deep Prussian blue. The backness which
crept over the land while the sun was set

4 Gallant Deed and "a Chivalrous
Return.
From the arlington Chronicle.

from the W asnnTtOn Chronicle
In the recent movement of Stonemans
cavalry, the advance was led by Lieutenant
Paine, OF the First Maine Cavalry. Being
separated by a considerable distance from
the main body, he encountered unexpect-
eddy a superior force OF rebel cavalry, and
his whole party were taken prisoners. They
were hurried of as rapid : as possible, to
get them out of the way OF our advancing
force, and in crossing Il rapid and deep
stream, Lieutenant Henry, commanding
the rebel force, was swept off his horse.
as none OF his men seemed to think or care
anything about saving him, his prisoner,
Lieutenant Paine, eaped of his horse,
seized the drowning man by the collar,
SWAMI ashore with him, and saved.lNS life,
thus LITERAL y capturing his capta, He was
sent to Richmond with the rest OF the pris
oners, and, the facts being made known to
Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee, he wrote statement
of them to Gen. Winder, the Provost Mar
shall OF Richmond, who ordered the instant
release OF Lieutenant Paine, without even
parole, promise or condition, and, we pre-
sumo, with the compliments of the Confed-
eracy. He arrived in Washington on Sat-
urday last. This act of generosity as well
as justice must command our highest adj
miration. There is some hope for men who
can behave iii such a manner.
But the strangest part OF the story is vet
to come. Lieut. Paine, on arriving in
Washington, learned that the officer whose
life he lia'i thus gallantly saved had since
been taken prisoner by our forces. and had
just been confined in the Old Capitol Pris-
on The last we heard of him he was IN
his way. to Gen Martindale's headquarters
to obtain pass to visit his beneficiary and
benefactOr.

Lvon's Kathairon.

This delightful article for preserving and
beautifying the human hair is again put up by
the original proprietor, aud is now made with
the same care, ukill and attention, which fret
created its immense and unprecedented aaes
of over one million bottles annually 1t is
still cold OF 25 cents in large bottles. Two
million bottles can easily be sold in q year
when it is again known that the Kathairon is
not only the most delightful hair dressing in
the world, bu. that 1t cleanses the scalp Of
scuff and dsndruff, gives the hair lively,
rich, luxuriant growth, and prevents it from
turning gray. These are considerations worth
knowing Tho Kathairon has been tested for
over twelve years, and is warranted as de-
Icribed. Any lady who values beautiful head
of hair will use the Kathsiron. II is finely
perfumed, cheap and valuable. 1t is sold by
all respectable dealers throughout the world.

accuracles occurred in the Afst statement Of the
capture OF the Iudanola. II appears the Inoi'
anols was placed in bad position, and vas
badly managed by the pilot. The Queen Of
the West, Webb, and Music were pitted
against her. The Webb had heavy guns, and
used them with effect. The rams butted
against her, but she could not hurt them.
When the boats came alongside with the Con-
federates, instead Of giving them shower of
hot water, the crew and officers ran aboard the
Confederate rams. 1t was then the informant
made his escape. His impression was, when he
left, that the Indianola was disabled,
II is also stated that the Indianola was not
surrendered in sinking condition, but is now
in condition to do effective service for the
enemy.
