New York, Dec. 10.
The Herald's correspondent, off Charles
ton 9Th. says the rumor that Dahlgren
would not use the iron-clads on Charles
ton Harbor, but send them south, proba-
bly, to Mobile, is untrue.
AdmiralDshlgren is preparing for great
movement, and the iron clads wont leave
till our flag waves over Charleston or its
ruins The city is still subjected to a
heavy fire. Our guns have full posses.
sion of the harbor. In the city darkness
prevails al night, as Beauregard has or
dered the street lamps not to be lighted,
nor the lights in the houses. Nothing but
famine and terror rule in the city, and

STRENGTH OF CHARACTER Strength OF
character consists of two thingS-power
Of will and power OF self restraint. 1t
requires two things. therefore, for its eX.
istence-s strong feelings and strong CON.
mand over them. Now we all very often
mistake strong feeling for strong charac-
ter. A man who bears ali before him,
before whose frown domeStics trcmble,
and whose bursts of fury make the chill
dren of the household quake he
has his will Obeyed and his own way in
all things-we call him a strong man. -
The truth is, that he is weak man; it is
his passions that are strong; he, mastered
by them, is weak. You must measure
the strength of man by the power of the
feelings he Subdues, not by the power OF
those that subdue him. And hence com.
posure is very often the highest result OF
strength. Did we ever see a man receive
a fragrant injury, and then reply quietly +?
that is man spiritually strong. Or did
we ever see a man in anguish, stand as if
carved out Of solid rock, mastering him
self? eOr one bearing a hopeless daily
trial, remain silent and never tell the
cord what cankercd his home peace p
That is strength. lie who, with strong
