BLACK LEAD.-The lead from which
pencil points are made, comes from the prin-
cipal plumbago mine in the world, at Bor-
rowdale, Cumberland, England. It is sit
uated in Hill; and instead of being worked
constantly like other mines. it is opened
only once year, when sufficient quantity
is taken to supply the world for year to
come, and it is again closed with strong
doors, bars and locks until the next annual
supply is required. From the time of
Queen Elizabeth, it is said that all the fine
pencils in the world have been made of the
black lead from this mine.

The Man.

THERE'S wide spread dissatisfaction with
the management of cur immense forces on
the Mississippi, and the part, at once am
phibious and Improbable, assigned our sol
diers. If the army of the Mississippi can
not be used to better advantage, we should
think the propriety, indeed the necessity. OF
leaving the river to the gunboats, and NOV
ing the army to more promising field, and
placing it under mere competent com
mander, would force itself upon the author
tiles at Washington. The feeling on this
subject, in the West, is not loudly express
ed but tits deep. We beg the President and
Gen. Halleok to believe that the absence Of
clamor on the failure of the Mississippi
expedition must not be taken as an evidence
of public satisfaction. We have man in
the West in high position, with the conf
dence of the army and the people, who has
shown himself competent to lead a great
army. Can we not have the troops concen-
trated under him, that he may deliver the
rebellion its death blow. His name is

THE NEXT CoNGREss.-The election of
three Administration Representatives in
Connecticut settles the question as to the
political complexion of the next House. Il
will be decidedly for the Government, and
will sustain the Administration in all just
measures for the suppression of the insur-
rection, and the restoration of Constitutional
authority throughout the Southern country.
The Tribune's table gives the Republicans
85. Democrats 70 members, with Mr.. Roll
Inns of Missouri uncounted. Vermont will
give US three more, California three, Mis-
souri, one, and West Virginia three, making
ninety five Republicans. Maryland and
Kentucky will probably send reliable Union
men, who will stand by the war measures
Of the Government, and give no encourage
ment to copperheadism.
This result of the spring elections is one
of the most cheering indications of this pc
Rod, when the tide seems to be turning
against the rebellion, and in favor of a
speedy conclusion of the war. The hopes
built by rebels upon the reaction of last fall
caused by the stagnation of the war, and
defeats of our army attributable to obstruc-
tons designedly placed in the way of sue
cess by agents of the Opposition-were
built upon the sand, and are now topping
into the common ruin in which their cause
is soon to be crushed and buried. Il is in
vain now, that demagogues ask the people
to oppose the Government and demand an
armistice and ''peace on any terms -
The national arm will be sustained, and the
national honor preserved. -Rochester( ". Y.

REPORT OF THE ORDNANCE BUREAU
The report of the Ordnance Bureau,
appended to the Secretary Of Wars re-
port, gives an interesting view OF the en-
forced progress of work IN that important
branch of service. The naval ordnance
at the beginning OF 1861 consisted OF
1872 thirty.twos, 574 eight-inch, 800
nine inch Dahlgrens, 46 ten-inch, old and
new, % eleven.inch Dahlgrens making
1880 heavy guns with % twenty-fours,
lO7 twelves, and 1856 boat howit2ers.-
We have now 1902 howitzers of all
kinds, 1872 thirty-twos, SIS eight-inch,
sos nine-inch Dahlgrens, 20 thirteen
inch mortars, Ola twenty pound PARROTS,
237 thirty pound PARROTS, $50 one-hun-
dred-pound Parrots, 60 Northumberland
fifty-pound PARROTS, l3 twenty pound RI
fed PARROTS, and &c ifteen-inch smooth
bores in all 5,TT7 pieces, against 1866
in 1861, Over 700 more guns of the new
sort will be done before the year Closes
Several new founderies have been started,
and the means are now equal to the de-
mand. The enormous amount of projec-
tiles used may be seen in the following
figures: Shells, made and bought, 678,-
CIT shot, S0,392; shrapnell, grape, and
canister, 9,443, 94S pounds. OF gunpow-

THE DECAYED COQUETTE.

New beauties push her from the stage;
She trembles at the approach of age,
And starts to view the altered face
That wrinkles at her in her glass:
So Satan, 10 the monks tradition,
Feared, when he met his apparition.
At length her name each coxcomb cancels
From standing lists of toasts an angels;
And sighted where she shone before,
A grace and goddess now no more
Despised by all, and doomed to meet
Her lovers at her rivals feet.
She flies assemblies, shuns the ball,
And cries out, vanity, on all;
Affects to scorn the tinsel-shows
OF glittering bellies and gaudy beaux;
Nor longer hopes to hide by dress
The tracks of age upon her face.
Now careless grown of airs polite,
Her MONDAY nightcap meets the sight;
Her hair uncombed collects together,
With ornaments Of many feather;
All points of dress and neatness carried
As tho she'd been twelvemonth married
She spends her breath, as years prevail,
At this sad wicked world to rail
To slander all her sex imWOmptu,
And wonder what the world will come to.
