From Washington TIC have only hint
relative to the news which all our readers
brcathlcssly await, the Presidents edict
Of freedom. It is reported that the Cab-
met were in session yesterday for the con-
sidcration Of the document, the new Augna
Charta. 1t will be received for our next
issue, possibly for an extra to-day.
The news from Virginia is unimportant.
The raid Of Stuart into Maryland has not
yet transrircd. it appears. the report to
that effect being canard. There i no
doubt but that daring rebel raids IRE now
in progress in Virginia, but they arc Of no
large force, nor importance.

The scccsl 1gmes Of this. city ia anxious
to bc made martyr Of: 1t daily grows
more viruIent and vehement in its treason.
For three successive days it has cmpticd
its frothings upon the limited share Of COM
munity reached by its issues. Surrounded
by petty clique Of Southern born men,
who came from the condition Of nisgerless
whites in Maryland and Kentucky to profit
by our better institutions, the renegade Vcr-
Monter Of the concern wakes more and
more daring. On Sunday it impudently
Threatened to carry the war into the loyal
Statcs il thc President did not resign and
give Vallandigham Democrat his place.
On Tuesday it declared that as soon as
The Emancipation edict shall be issued, the
democracy" will withdraw their support
from the war. Yesterday it startled the
world by declaring that "the war is about
to speedily close on broken country-bro-
ken, perhaps, irto more than two parts"
and appeals to the Northwest to take her
destiny in her own hands"
We'll, the "Northwcst has begun fol-
lowing the advice in the last paragraph,
and as will be seen elsewhere, the Chicago
Board Of Trade. YesterdaY. in the most for
mai manner, kicked the dirty secesh con-
Gem and its reporters from 'Change and
barred their doors and files against it in
future. The only dissenting voices were
a few sprigs "neat 9s imported" who
would to man assure any drafting Office.
That they were not. citizens Of the tt Hunted
States Of Hamcrica."
The news Of this righteous Judgment
against our home rebel organ, spread
through the city like wild-fire: Men gath
cred On corners to discuss it. Some urgcd
that the measure thus begun should not
end there; that the rurifcation commenced
on the Board Of Trade should be secured to
tie city and the Northwest, and this should
doubtless be. Not howeyeyer by act Of
1le citizens, for the sake of good order and
deccncy, much as these haTc been abused.
But the Government should, and must if it
would protect itself, carry on this work of
sslicking OUT the Times. Let it be kicked
across the rebel lines to its chosen afIinitics
in Sccessia. Let the men who issue these
rillanics in print be escorted through our
lines and forbid to return under penalty.
As 10 the material Of the concern, being
1ightfully condscate as belonging to an
avowed enemy Of the Government, il
might be put in charge Of the other Demo
cratic organ which does not recognise jeff
Davis as its High Priest.
.~ The work must 60 forward began ycstcr
day. Treason must be dumb in Chicago
but: let it he done decently md in order
and by tie constituted authorities that vii
only be weakened and impaired By citizer
interference and mob violence.

the Rubicon. which was the boundary be.

the Rubicon,. which was the boundary be-
tween Italy and Gaul. marched precepitately
upon Rome. Ponpey. unprepared for such
audacity, fed TIE popaiace everywhere
rallied beneath the banners of Caesar. With
: small despairing force, Ponpey retreated
to Brundusium, at the extremity Of the ltal-
ian peninsula. Caesar, leading forty theus-
and men, pursued him and chased him out
of Italy, across the sea TO Greece. Then,
having with great ability consolidated his
power at Rome. he embarked an army for
Greece, to crush his rival. The opposing
forces. after several minor battles, met upon
the plains of Pharsalia. The army of POM
pev was annihilated, and the unhappy fugi-
tive escaped to Egypt, where he was assas-
sinated. Caesar followed him to Africa, and
vept when be learned the tidings ofhis death.
He then returned leisurely to Rome, where
his victories were celebrated with splendor,
such as Rome had never witnessed before.
His popularity was now unbounded. His
rnle was strongly in favor ofthe rights Of the
people, and the mobiles organized a conspira-
cy, headed by Brutus and Cassius, for his
assassination. Tho bloody deed was con
summated in the senate chamber, and Caesar
fell, in the fifty sixth year of his age, forty
four years before the birth Of Christ; per-
haps the best man, on the whole, who ever
aspired to the sovereignty in Rome.-Abbotf.

The FRENCH NAVY Louis Napolen in his
efforts to build up powerful nayyso cope

The FRENCH NArY.-Lonis Napolen in his
efforts to build up powerful navy 20 cope
With that Of Great Britain, has drawn so
heavily on the commercial marine OF France
for men as to bring it nearly toruin. Thus
while for the last ten years the French
navy has been steadily increasing in power.
while docks were completed, new ships
launched and a navy created which is second
in apparent power only TO that of Great
Britain. the merchant marine has stead
fastly decreased. Itappears, from recent re-
turns, that the French commercial navy has
at present only 700, 900 tons of shipping
scarcely more than tenth of our own or Great
Britain's and less even than that of Germany.
which is nearly 2, ,000, 900 Inthree years. 1858
go, the French merchant marine lost not
less than 1,049 ships, of 1888 tons, over
and above what was built or added. Ship
building. except in the naval docks, has be
come Improbable capitalists cease to invest
money in shipping; and so severe is the
pressure of the naval conscription, that the
General Council of the Department of the
Herault has ju tvoted on address to the En-
peror PRAYING g that the maritime conserip-
ton now in force might be altered so as to
press less heavily on the coast population,
insufficient at present to supply the CONNER
cial navy" Thus France has great nay.y
but in creating it the Emperor has destroyed
the only thing which makes a navy important,
or which can support it. 1t is but of a piece
with his whole conduct. and is. one of the
inevitable results of his theories and ambi-
ton.

EXPAND THE CHEsT.-Those in easy cir
cumstanees, or those who pursue sedentary,
indoor employment, use the lungs but little.
breathe but little air into the chest, and thus.
independent of position, contract wretch
edly small chest, and lay the foundation of
the loss Of health and beauty. All this can
be perfectly obviated by a very little atten-
ton to the manner of breathing. Recollect
that the lungs are like a bladder in their con-
struction. and can be stretched open double
their size with perfect safety, giving a noble
chest and perfect immunity from consump-
ton The agent we require, is the common
air we breathe, that nc obstacle exists, ex-
ternal to the chest, such as tying it round
with stavs, or having the shoulders lying up
on it. On arising from your bed in the
morning. place yourself in an erect position.
the shoulders thrown off the chest now in
hale all the air you can. so that no more can
get in now hold your breath and throw your
arms off behind, holding your breath as long
as possible. Repeat these long breaths as
much as You please. Done in cold room
is much better because the air is 50 much
denser, and viii act much more powerfully
in expanding the chest. Exercising the chest
in this manner will enlarge the capabllity
and size of the lungs.
Curious FAcT.-1t is we'll authenticated
fact that soldiers wounded in the head, on
recovery from the wound, have, in some in
stances, lost all consciousness of their per
sonal identity. The case of a soldier who died
in one of the Paris hospitals is striking con
frmation of this fact. Wounded at the battle
of Solferino, the wound soon cicatrized, but
he afterwards labored under a strange hal
lucination, ,fancying himsefdead. When ask
ed how he was, he would reply Yon
want to know how Pierre Valin is why be
was killed at Solferino. What you see is
not Valin, but machine made to initiate
him.
