The Wednesday and Friday even
ing receptions at Secretary Chase's
and Speaker Grow have been very
brilliant of late. The informal yet
elegant gatherings at Mr.. Grows,
where the great themes Of the day
are discussed, as well as beauty: ice
cream and coffee, almost repeat the
bmeaur 4 esprit in the saoas Of Pa
ris in the eighteenth century, where
assembled all her public men, as well
AS her mnSt hrautitui and gittrl We
men. Among the more remarkable
persons az This assembly the other
evpuin. was Mrs. Jane G. Swisshvim,
who was the centre Of large circle.
She seems to represent the class ot
clever women whom men delight to
converse with 10 society, but whom
not fortune would tempt them to
marry. Not because they are disa-
grceabIo, but because they are 50 un-

excessively clever women are at a dis

Mrs. SwisSheIm! She has pleasant

Two Phases OF aysss life.

Farming, like every nthcr calling.
has It's advantages and G'>aIranIa-
ees. The farmer IS the m">t indie
iendent au,l tie nast dependant man
in existence. With Turning, az
with EVER other branch Of business,
Judgment, rg0t;ence, anal cconcmy
are requisite to success. To the man
who possesses these, an agricultural
life brings the pleasure Of indenen-
deuce, with all the charms Of variety.
To such, the tlnctuation Of trade, the
rise and fall OF stocks. the rumored
protests, or rumored bank suspen-
sons, have little or no terror. Life
has charms for him which it has not

at their approach; he is not afrai! Of

He welcomes every change OF the

But with some il is far different
they are never at ease-ererythlng

them it is too hot or too co!1-too wet
Or toe dry. No matter whether the

the market price of wheat is 80 cts.

the higher it goes up, the less inclin-

How TO SELECT FLOUR. First look
at the color. Ii it is white, with Il
slight yellowi>h or straw colnrel
tint, bny it. II it is white, with a
blush cast, or with block specks in
it, refuse it. Second, examine it's
sdheSiveness; get and knead a little
Of it between your fingers if it
works sticky it is poor. Third, throw
a lit;le lump Of dry flour against q
dry, smooth, perpendicular surface;
If it falls like powder it is not good.
Fourth, squeeze some Of the flour in
sonr hand; if it retains the shape
given by the pressure, that, toe, is a
good sligo. Flour that will stand all
these tests is safe to buy.

gro children, started at Newbern by members Of
the Massachusetts 44th regiment, who are not on

j time aboring to instruct, religlously aud morally,
those who have been kept in ignorance and bond

"This Sabbath School was started by five mem
bers of Co. L, ilih Mass. regiment, Jan, l2h, at
private house, with only 20 scholars, FEB. 10Th

regiment. at the CoIored Methodist Church. The
school is superntended by A. W. Denny Of Go.

become so large that they have been obliged to
call upon other regiments for help. Many Of the

taken hold with those who commenced this work
to help them carry II on.
The superintenden,'s report to-day (Aprll l2)
was as follows. Ma-s, 26O; females, 222
teachers 80 total, OH. About go OF these were
adults. They have library containing between

now, and i. is becoming decidedly unpopular. As
the soldiers see more fully the depths Of
principle involved in this controversy, and the
wisdom Of the policy the Government is adopting
to bring it to an issue that God must forever ap-
prove, the more determined and anxious are they
to carry the war out successfully. Whatever
tends to weaken the faith cannot be born Of pat
riotism.-But owe the reader an apology for
presumiug upon bis patienc. 50 Icrg We sol
ders have a personal feeling in this matter Of
fighting or sprrerdering, and !. may sometimes
be that we are almost over sensitive in regard to
it. Having taken up the subject hardly knew

TuE OPklousAs CouNTY.-Ihis region, Che
scene Of Con. Banks late successful operations,
lies West of the Mississippi to the southwaFd
of Port Hudson Franklin, the chiet place IN
the lower part of the country, is la miles
West of New Orleans, in a rich planting section.
1t is a port OF entry and great sugar mart.
The number Of steamboats, aud gunboais destroy
ed at the place by the rebels indicates It's mpor-
,ance in navigation. 0pclousas is 2l1 miles
northwest of New Orleans, and contains col
leee and about 5000 inhabitants. The country
which lies between these two places has been OF
great value to the rebels in aiiordng supplies
of food and salt and its occupation BY our lorees
will be severely felt.
Our news by way Of New Orleans did not
come down to Gen. Banks attack on 0pelousas
but dispatch from Memphis, about eight days
later, leaves no doubt that be had been su cess
full. His forces were then said to be At Point
Coupee, on the Mississippi, about twelve mlles
obops port Hudson. II this be correct, the on
ly inference is that Gen, Banks had entirely
cleared out the 0pelousas country, ani taken
! large mart of his forces around Port Hudson, on
| the Louisiana side, and was ready to cooperate
with the gunboals and transports which had
run the vieksburg batteries, thus elecling q

announces that Hon james S. Rollins has given

declares his belief that the best thing Missouri
can do is to adopt plan at once for the gradual
liberation of slaves We learn also from the
Washington correspondence of the New York
CoD,,nerrial Adrahscr, that Gov. johnson Of
Tennessee has quite modified his views on one

clothed with power to enlist, organize and arm
the negroes in defense of the government which
their owners are endOayoring to destroy. Thus
