Nothing is know of the movement against Weldon
except that it is made in considerable force and probably
from two points That it will fail completely is conf
IDENTIFY expecd because of the unusual forces in place to
meet it. The chief Importance of the movement is the
damage it could do at Weldon but the interruption of
muncaton with Charleston the present juncture and
its chief significance is the manifestation of the anxiety
felt by the enemy to make such interruption There is
little doubt entertained that formidable assault
will shortly be made Charleston than has yet been
made The great seaport must be taken at all hazards
before the European interference seriously apprehend

II any of our readers know of neighbor
who thinks or says this is an abolition war;"
they had better call his attention to the fol-
lowing extract from the Richmond Enquirer
OF the 18th ult:
1t appears that Shareholders are averse, for
some reasons, TO hire their negroes in the Con-
federate army. The prejudice is certainly an
ignorant and a mean one. As the war was
originated and is carried out in great part for
the defense of the stakeholder and his proper
~, rights, and the perpetuation of the institu-
ton, it is reasonable to suppose that he ought
TO be the first and foremost in aiding and as
sisting, by every means in his power, the
triumph and success of our arms. Good wa
ges are offered, and proper care and attention
will be given every negro hired in the army,
and the STAKEHOLDER ought to remember that
for every negro he thus furnishes he puts a
soldier in the ranks.

Physical Education.


fcoT tHe fTeSs.
We should not only "teach the young idea
low to shoot, but the social and physical
system should also be trained in harmony with
the mental. As the young idea is taught to
rlimp the steep and arduous hill of science by
constant mental drill and perseverance, so
should the frail muscle, in the same proper
ton, be guided into perfect, healthy action
through frequent and proper physical erer-
else.
1t is just as true that man has a body as
That he has soul, and it is inst as much a
part OF his duty TO train his physical nature
that it shall meet the requirements of Him
who was its Author, as it is to guide the soul
nto the path of righteousness. Formerly it
vas considered of sufficient Importance to de-
gelop only the moral and intellectual natures !;
and the result is our great and little body in
titutions for which America is so famously
noted
Man has just as much power for good or i'll
over his physical as over his spiritual nature,
md when one thinks he is doing his whole
'luty to guard only the spiritual, fear he will
too late awake to the consciousness of sad
mistake.
All life is motion, and inertia is death. All
exercise is health, inaction is disease. Over
I,rching the canopy Of every individual, life,
health has set her seal to this motto: Walk
| Je in harmony Nth natures lars. All her
ways are peasantness, and all her paths lead
TO peace.
In conclusion, we would say that we feel it
TO be our duty to give more special attention
10 the proper unfolding of the physical and
eocial nature of man, SO that they may not in
future be considered as occupying position
80 much inferior to the moral and intellectual
The tohole man consists of two halves, not

The U. S. Steamer De Soto.

Extract from a letter from Portland man
on board the U. S. steamer De Soto.
l did not describe the chase in capturing the
Montgomery, and will only say now that it
was very similar to that of the Cuba, which l
described in full. During the chase she threw
overheard about all her cargo, which consisted
OF liquors and medicines and fruit from Ha-
vana, also large quantities of cigars. We were
running through boxes of cigars, cases of gin,
whole acres OF pineapples, lemons, bananas,
oranges, bags of coffee, bales OF dry goods, &C.,
&c. So desperate were they that they threw
over their cooking utensils, knives and forks,
except one set which the cook had slowed
away. Most of our captures have been made
on Sunday, SO you will see that while you have
been engaged in the solemn service of the
sanctuary, we have been pelting away at rebel
steamers. 1t would sound strange to you to
hear these men talk of their worthy President
and "od Abe Lincoln" On the other page l
will tell you how we can act Portland" on
privateers. This morning, just as we were off
the bar, and had taken pilot to go up the
river to New Orleans, the mail steamer Cres-
cent came steaming to us and gave intelligence
that government steamer had been captured
by the rebels during the night, and had made
her escape. Our Lieutenant gave a gesture
showing that he fully comprehended the mat
ter, flashed his eye over the ship to see if all
was right, and l am strictly correct flor l wit
messed the whole when say that in one min
ute we were actually in chase of rebel pirate.
In seven hours we anchored her, with her
crew in irons, few miles up the Mississippi,
along side of the guard ship Pampero, making
the sixteenth prize to the U. S. steamer De
Soto within five months, the first being taken
April oath. The capture of this steamer by
the rebels think quite equals the little matter

DIR. Bronson ON the War.

DR.. Orestes A. Bronson one of the most
profound thinkers of the age, and man who
stands high in the Catholic church, recently
made speech in Philadelphia, in which he
used the following language:
The war is not calamity. Nations have gone out
and expired in absolute funkeyism. / hope the war
will not till it has made all the North men. 1t
has been supineness that has allowed the South
for thirty years to gamble on our love for the
Union.
Men can't be neutral In these times. How can O
good son be neutral when he sees man with dag
ger at his mothers heart. Country is more than
mother. The neutral is not only a traitor he is a
coward. have no sympathy with party that seeks
TO come into power through peace. Give the rebels
peace and you give them independence The cop.
perheads deceived Some OF their leaders expect
but temporary secession. The South has no such
idea. They have used the northern democrats, how
they intend In future TO treat them be seen by
the Richmond papers. They will keep between them
and the wind and then hold their noses. This I'm.
Ion once dissolved never be restored. We must
elect such men to office as will push the war and
maintain the government.

From Central and South Ameriea.

PANAMA, Sept. 25.
The U. S. mail steamship Guatemala arriv-
ed here on the 21st inst. with dates from Cen
trail America. All communication between
the city of Salvador and this port has been cut
off by the invading army. Although by this
move Baries is completely surrounded in his
capital, his prospects are said to be much
brighter than they were some weeks ago. He
has sufficient supplies to enable him to hold
out several months. His soldiers are regular
ly paid and in good spirits all he lacks is arms
for the navy, volunteers daily offering to join
his army.
Canova is short Of both money and provis-
ions; for the latter he is dependent upon a
hostile people, who will be very likely to cut
off his supplies as soon as their money gives
out.
BY the steamer Bogota, which arriv ed on
the 22d inst, we have later news from the
South Pacific.
In Ecuador active measures are being taken
to meet the contingency Of war with the
United States of Columbia. The militia had
been called out, and recruiting is going on
briskly.
Mosera has declined holding the interview
with Mosquera which he had agreed to do
He has appointed son of Gen. Flores with
