eT The New Englander is the moral
tinker of the universe, and is for mend
ing rips in morals, and putting patches
upon conduct generally, making up the
deficiencies be detec,s in Providence
and creation. Like the sea bird, he is
ever on the wing, and never better
pleased than in storm. This character
invests the whole western continent, and
causes more disputes, controversies and
excitements than all the rest of the pop
ulalion put them together. No other
character could have lived in New Eng
land, and nothing else could live there if
Ire did. He was tougher than the stone,
drier than the sand, more obstinate than
the seasons and, indeed some natura-
lists tell US that since the Puritaus set
tied in New England, its climate has
grown much milder; even New Eng
land winters could not stand the eternal
fault-fnding Of the Puritans.

SELLING CfRoAssIAN WOMEN 1t
may surprise Europeans that people
so fond of liberty as the Circassians,
should make traffic of their daughters
by selling them to strangers. Ii is, how
ever, considered an honorable manner of
providing for them the maidens them
selves do not object to it, and be il OBJ
served that the chiefs seldom sell their
children to stranger, their daughters
being too much sought after by their
own coun,rymen. Before the Russian
war, during the feuds that prevailed a
mong the inhabitants, it frequently hap
pened that the members Of the tribe
would steal the daughters of another and
sell them however, they have made
one common cause against the Russians,
and such acts have entirely ceased.
There is now also much difficulty in
smuggling the maidons 70 Constantine
PIE, iii consequence of the very severe
blockade kept by the Russians on that
coast and from the present limited
commerce with Turkey and Persia, the
price of Circassan woman in Circas-

circumstance much rejoiced at by the
poorer Circassians--for beauty of form

accomplishments.
Tie ceremony of marriage is very
similar to what it is in Persia, with the
exception that as the Circassian maiden
constantly wears from her childhood
tight corset. The bridegroom, as soon
as he is alone with his newly married
bride, rips it open with his dagger, pro-
ceeding often attended with serious con-
sequences, both from the danger the girl
runs of being wounded by the weapon,
and also from the great suddenness with

1t was four days later. The news had
rung all over the North of that terrible
glory OF fire and blood through which
our brave sailors bore the old flag in tri-
umph back to its place over New Or
leans and while it thrilled and palpita-
ted in the arteries Of New York, the
sons of commerce tried with all their
might to see the white CLEAN of dollars
through the red glare of victory. But
Elliot and Jaggles were before Grigg

With triumphant swiftness the barrels
and bales and boxes trundled down the
crowded wharves, and swung up over
the lofty black sides of the Superior and
the Sea Dragon and disappeared in their
great dark holds. The incessant labor
of day and night gangs rapidly filled up
the steamers and now the time draws
nigh for the Superior's clearance TO be
granted by the scribes of the Custom
House, and Jaggles is writing like light

Jaggles looked at him moment, and
seemed infected with the young mans
enthusiasm. His level, bushy eyebrows
moved little above his keen steel-grey

Daring Union Raid By Grierson's
CdUalry.-2O Mites Of Railroad
Destroyed.
MEMPHIS, April 9Oth, Via. CAIRO, May I'd, 1862
We have glorious news from Grier-
sons Cavalry, which starting from
West Tennessee, had, at last accounts,
cut up and destroyed about twenty
miles of railroad between Memphis and
jackson, Miss. The Jackson papers
state that the distance destroyed is full
twenty miles. Chalmersis after Grier-
son, but another Federal force is after
Chalmers, and an interesting tri-cor-
nered squabble may be looked for.
This raid of Grierson's is one of the
most daring feats of the war.
The Provost Marshal has issued the
following order:
LIST. If, after ten days from the date
of this order, any house of i'll fame,
kept for the purpose of prostitutionand
lewdness, is discovered in this district,
the inmates will be arrested and sent
North, and their.household furniture re-
ported to the Commanding General for
confiscation.
Cd. Any officer or soldier of the
United States army, who, in this dis
trict, should so far forget the respecta-
bility and dignity of his position as to
appear in places of the above named
character, except on official duty, will,
upon discovery, be reported, with his
name, rank and regiment, to the Com
handing General.
Sd. Masters of steamboats, are pro,
hibited from bringing to this district
and landing as passengers, prostitutes
or women of disreputable character
and any violation of this order will sub
ject the offender to arrest and fine.

WINE (! (! |!

From the earliest ages wine has been known and
esteemed one of the choicest productions of the
earth. 1t is rendered proverbial in Scripture. In
the present age good wine is not only valued as a
luxury, but there several kinds which are held
in high estimation by the medical profession and
form valuable commodity in every good dispen-
sary. In Europe there are upwards of fifty differ
ent kinds of wine, obtained from many different
kinds of grapes. But it has remained for modern
science and skill to produce luxurious ond de-
lightful wine from medical plants and roots The
object has been fully accomplished in an article
called Dr. HALSEY'S FOREST WINE. From O
formula of roots, plants etc., of the highest medi
cal order, is here produced pure wine, equal, il
not superior, in favor to any imported at the same
time retaining all the virtues of one of the best
medical formulas ever known,
No invalid can object to take the Forest Wine on
account of disagreeable TASTE and none can take it
without being convinced of its great value as
medical agent. From our own experience we can
vouch for the excellence of this wine; and we trust
that every one, whose health is in the least i'm
paired, will read DR.. Halsey's advertisement,
which will be found in our columns to-day, and
avail themselves of the remedy.
