SOLDIERS MoNuMENT.-Ona Of the
firm of Armstrong IL Brother, proprietors
of the McGregor Marble Works, made US
a call few days ago, and, by requet ex-
hibited some designs they have made for
the proposed Soldiers Monument, 10 be
placed al Lancaster. Iii ascertained that
the Monument as first designed would not
contain all the names, without making it
entirely ont Of proportion, and Armstrong
& Brother have successf lily taxed their IN
genuity to obyate the difficulty. Around
Ihe Monument they place four blocks OF
marble (which can be increased in numbers
if necessary With cannon or eagles mount
ed on them. Each Of these blocks will
contain nearly as many names as the mon.
nment Itself. Either Of these designs are
superior to the one made out at Galena;
but especially admired the plainest one,
which we understand is about to be adopt
ed by the cc'nmittee.-B Oscobsl Brodd-

Mr. Koc b, like young Shaw, was private
in the Macpherson Blues. Ii fell to his

a baggage wagon. The weather was cold
raw, stormy and wet. This set the seu-
tinel musing. After remaining on his

THE HUMAN FIGURE proportions
of the human figure are strictly mathemat-
ical. The whole figure is six times the
length OF the foot. Whether the form be
slender or plump, this rule holds good
Any deviation from il is a departure from
the highest beauty OF proportion. The
Greeks made all their statutes according 10
this rule. The face, from the highest point
on the forehead where the hair begins, to
the chin, is one tenth Of its own statute.
The hand, from the wrist to the middle
finger, is the same. The chest is one fourth
and from the nipple to the top OF the head
is the same. From the top Of the chest
to the highest point of the forehead is the
seventh. If the length Of the face, from
the roots of the hairto the chin, be diyid-
led into three equal parts, the first division
determines the place where the eyebrows
meet, and second the place where the nos

human body, and if man should lie ON
his back with his arms extend ed, the peri
phery of the center, would touch the ex-
tremities Of his hands and feet. The
heigh, from the feet to the top Of the head
is the same as the distance from the ex-
tremity Of the fingers when the arms ars
extended.

FOREIGN NEws.-We have our foreign files to
the 10th. The general news has been given by
telegraph. Nothing of importance had occurred
in England. In France, the great topic was the
fall of Puebla. 1t wa stated that Gen. Forey
would be made Marshal of France, and Gen.
Bazaint Senator. The Emperor's congratua-
tory letter to the former has the following pas,
sage:
Our aim is not to impose on the Mexicans
government against their will, nor to make our
success serve to the triumph of any party what
ever. | desire that Mexico may be born to new
ment founded upon the national will, the principles
of order and progress, and respect for nternaton-
al law she may, By establishing friendly relations
with France acknowledge that it is to France that
she owes her peace and prosperity.
The France newspaper, however, intimates
that the occupation of Mexico is to be permanent,
and for the glory of the Latin race. Every de-
partment is to be taken possession Of French
clerks are going out to work the finances post
office, custom house, electric telegraph and rail-
ways, and new railways and canals are on the list
of projects. The second election in one of the
Paris districts has resulted in the choice of another
opposition candidate, Mr.. Gueroult, by l7,495
votes to 11,0l6 for the government candidate
The Polish instruction maintains its ground. A
St. Petersburg paper publishes the note of Prince
Gorschakof to Mr.. Clay on Mr.. Stewards decli-
nation to join the diplomatic Intervention in favor
Of Poland, which concludes as follows
Such facts draw closer the bonds of sympa-
thy between Russia and America. The Emperor
knows how to appreciate the frmness with which
Mr.. Seward maintains the principles Of non-inter
vention."

writer says
Among the " honored dead who fell in the
charge Of Saturday, was Lieut. Spalding, who
was Acting Adjut'nt at the time of his death.
Having been associated with him during the last
seventeen months, can speak knowingly and
without disparagement to the other officers, when
tell you, as military man he has but few su-
periors His career was successful one, for he
had the fullest confidence of his superior officers,
and the admiration of his subordinates. AS a
discipnaran he stood among the first. He was
as brave an officer as he was courteous gentle
man, and met his death as brave man would
wish, while in the front of his command"

DEAR MESSENGER Nothing remarkable
has happened to change our base of supplies,
or operations, within week past. The sound
of war comes near to us, but as yet, the firing
has been in the distance, and we have had the,
good fortune not to mingle in the deadly strife.
Some of our men are ambitious to see what
they might do for the country, amid the stern
realities of battle, and appear impatient to
meet the foe; while others would evidently be
glad to have the rebels let them alone. All
however, we judge, are willing to obey orders,
and take their chances as the fate of war NAV
direct, up to the timc of the expiration of oul
term of service.
At this time We are under marching orders
with ratious for ten days. What movement
is contemplated, has not as yet transpired
We judge that, 10 the recent movement, Lee
aud Hooker, were both to great extent, ig

bent on one of two things either the North

rule of jeff Davis, or the Union must be torn

The Chattanooga Rebel, a newspaper which
seems to enjoy something Of monopoly of news
Of bogus rebel victories, having defeated Grant at

INDUCES in the following jubiant strain:
At no time within the past two years has the
horizon of the Confederate States uprisen in such
splendor as now, when from Nicksburg, Virginia,
Middle Tennessee, harbinger days of peace seem
to burst in harmonious iustre from long night of
var.
The same paper also says:
Az we advance into the North the troubled
spirits of Democracy must be told that our object

nized we will lay down our arms. Mr.. Vallandig-

THE SECOND VERMONT BRIGADE has been Or
dered to Join the army OF the Potomac, and may
see fight yet before coming home. A letter from
Co. C, dated June Goth, in the Free Press says /:
The Second Vermont Brigade is now part OF
Hooker's army. Orders to be ready to march
at short notice came on Tuesday. On Thursday
the Brigade was concentrated at Union Mills,
and marched to Centrevle that afternoon. To-
day friday they are on the march toward Gull
ford Station 10 Loudon County. Gen. Stannard
is ordered to report with his brigade to General
Reynolds, commanding the 1St Army Corps, and
will probably join that corps at PoolsevilIe, Nd,
in day or two.
The line we have been guarding was left en-
tirely undefended and rebels came into our
camps $50 it is reported) in an hour or two after
we left. A party of them were in Fairfax Court
House to-day, anyhow.
