The last advices from Europe are
to the effect that the rebellion IN
Poland, which threatened to become
a formidable affair and to involve
the principal Powers in serious COM
plications, has been virtually quell-
ed. Marion Lanigewicz, the leader
of the insurgents, has been captured
and his followers dispersed, and it
is not likely any further formidable
opposition will be made to the Rus
sian authorities, The Emperor an
nounces that he viii act leniently to-
ward the offenders, and will make
concessions to the Polish portion of
his subjects. The sympathies Of the
people Of this country are very nat
urally enlisted in behalf of those
who struggle to free themselves
from intolerable oppression; but re-
cent events at home show that re-
bellion does rot necessarily imply
that those who rebel are oppressed,
and hence this is not very favora-
bic time for the exhibition of great
solicitude for The success of rebel
ious demonstrations abroad.

There is nothing of Importance to
communicate from the seat of war,
though we are manifestly on the eve
of stirring times.
The reported capture of Charles
ton, which caused so general an ex-
preston of delight Monday evening,
was a silly hoax but we have now
authentic intelligence that on the
9th our forces were off the bar, and
that portion of the troops had Ian
led on the adjacent islands. The
attack has doubtless been made ere
this, and we must soon have eaccounts
from the scene of conflict.
Affairs at Vicksburg do not seem
to be progressing IN a way to war
rant confident expectations of spec
dy success in capturing the city
The canal in front, and the attempt
ed expeditions to, the rear of the q,
ty, from which important results
were anticipated, have Lot proved
successful and in view of the diff,
culties attending an approach to the
city by land, it is not unlikely the
rebels viii for the present continue
TO hold the place unless they are
starved out OF voluntarily retire.
From the Department OF General
Rosecralls we have accounts of daily
skirmisLirg, Lut there is nothing In
dicat;ug a general engagement as
likely TO occur socn.
\ late expedition from New Or
leans routed rebel force some dis
tance back from the river, burned a
steamer on one Of the bayous with
2200 barrels OF inolasses and 1900
bushels of corn, destroyed railroad
bridge, ard captured a large lot OF
-four, tobacco and other stores.
Richmond has been the scene of a
terrible riot, the leaders and most OF
the actors in which were womcn.-
The riot was caused by the scarcity
of provisions and the high price OF
everything offered for sale. Not
only bakeries and provision stores
but also millinery establishments, dry
goods and fancy stores, and shops OF
various kinds, were broken open and
plUnGered.

What to Writ. to the Soldiers.

From an essay in the Atlantic by Gail
Hamilton, upon Women and the War, we
sake the following excellent suggestions:
And follow the soldier TO the battlefield
with your spirit. The great army of letters
that marches Souihward with every morning
sun is powerful engine OF war Fill them
with tears and sighs, lament separation aid
fArs, mourn over the dishonesty Of contrac-
tors and the incompetency of leaders, doubt
ii the South will ever be conquered and fore
see financial ruin, and You will damp the
lpswder and dull the swords that ought to deal
6eath upon the foe. Write as tenderly as
suu win. In camp the roaghest mar IDEAL
izcs his far-of home, and every word Of love
Lrlifts him lover. But let our tenderness
unfold its sunny side and keep the shadows
f,r His pity who knows The end from the be-
Gaming and whom no forbodiug can dishear-
ten. Glory in your t,ibulation. Show your
t...aier that bis unfinching courage, undying
I rtitude, are your crown Of rejoicing lneite
J mic enthusiasm by your inspiration. Make
! raock OF ycGr discomfort. Be unwearying
il details Of the little interests at home. Fill
N.,ur letters with kittens and eanaries, with
aby's shoes, aid J0bnny's sled, and the old
Coax which you have turned into handsome
g5wn. Keep him posted in all the village
gossip, the lectures, the cour,ings, the sleigh
dies, and the singing-schools Bring out
he good points of the work in strong relief
EEL every sweet, brave, funny and pleasant
story you can think Of Show him that you
eiyurly apprebend that a dastardly peace
Nouldfpaye the way for speedy, incessant, anG
ere appalling warfare. Help him TO heal
las burdens by showing him how elastic you
i..e under yours. Hearten him, enliven hin
ne him up to the true hero pitch. Husl
ur plantive Misersre, accept the nation
I'sin for penance, and commission every north
Tin breeze to bear Te Dsnm laudamus.

The SPRING STYLES OF BONNETs.-It is sta
