Depth Of Quiet People.

Some men dawn upon you like the Alps.
They impress you vaguely at first, just as
do the hundred faces you meet in your
daily walks They come across your hor-
rizon like floating clouds, and you have to
watch awhile before you see they are
mountains. Some men remind you of
quiet lakes, places such as you have often
upon, where the green turf and
the field flower hang over you and are re-
fiected out of the, water all day long.
There is nothing remarkable about the
flowers, only they seem so much like love
and kindness, gentleness, and these other
every day ordinary little virtues. Perhaps
you become attached to the lake because
1t is genial spot, and whether you live
near lake or not, it seems to remind you
of home But you never dream Of its be-
ing in any way wonderful. Some day or
other you carelessly drop line in the clear
depths, closelby the side Of the daisies and
2adfodils, and it goes down. down, down.
You lean over and sound deeper, but your
line doesn't. bring up. What deep spot
that is, you think, and you try another.
The reflected daises seem to smile at you
out of the water, the turf looks as green
as ever, but there is no shallow beneath.
You never thought it, but your quiet lake
is all around untathomable. You are none
the less impressed from the fact that tits a
quiet lake. .rs-.5 g.. L.sr f--.sG s.-y,, #7-I.

A Frightened COntraband.

A letter received from an army CORES
pondent on the Rappahannock, relates the
following camp incident: ,~a. ..;.r.
An amusing incident ACQUIRED in camp
night or two since. A portly young
contraband, from Charleston, South Car
olina, who escaped from his rebel master
at Antietam, and for a while subsequently,
quartered in Washington, was engaged by
one Of our junior staff officers as his body
servant, and brought down here to his
quarters to attend him. 1t chanced that
the officer had served his country gallantly
at Sharpsburg, where he lost leg, below
the knee, the absence of which had been
made up by an artificial limb, which the
Captain wore with so easy grace that
few persons who met him suspected his
misfortune his sable attendant being
among the blissfully ignorant as to the
existence of the fact. ....,....... ....
The Captain had been "::out to dine,"
and returned in excellent spirits to his tent.
Upon retiring, he called his darkey SER

Captain. n s'I'm little-ic-himsy, Jim,

he reflected, perhaps, that his master was
quite as slight as he deemed his boot to
be. .. l,. ..-.... ....i..-.f5 -.4 ........l
"Easy, now-that's it. Pull away!"
contiued the Captain, good-naturedly, and
enjoying the prospective joke, while he
loosened the straps about his waist which
held his cork leg up-'snow you've got it.
Yip-7there you are! Oh, Lord! oh, Lord!
oh, Lord! !" screamed the Captain, as con-
traband, cofk-leg, riding-boot and ligatures
tumbled across the tent in heap, and the
one-legged officer fell back on bis pallet,
convulsed with spasmodic laughter. At
this moment the door opened and Lieu
tenant entered. | 'i I...a .-t-. .'

pulled his masters leg clean off. "Lem-
my 60! didn't do nuffin-g'way, g'way!"
And Jimmy put for the woods in his des.
peration, since which he hasn't been seen
or heard from, though his Captain has di-
ligently sought for him far and near. Jim
my was good servant, but we were never
before treated to sight of a thoroughly
frightened contraband There is little
doubt the darkey is running yet.

DIR. Charles Fshback, an eminent
physician of Indianapolis, died in that city

he punctured thumb with the needle ha

Desperate Fight at Dratnsville.

WAsH1NGroN, April 8, 1863. Lon Tues
day the rebel Captain Mosby visited Cen
treville with his notorious guerilla band,
numbering about sixty, dressed in federal
uniforms. They left for Drainsville, or
it's neighborhood, and on Wednesday morn
ing squadron of the First Vermont cav
airy came upon them,s at plantation
where they were bivouacked. Mosby 8
men were dismounted, and received our
cavalry with a fire from behind fences,
which stampeded some o: the raw soldiers.
The fight soon became desperate. Mosby
threatened his men with death if they
finched, and himself wounded Capt. Flint
five times with his revolver, killing him,
Lieut.. Crout, Of the Vermont cavalry,
and seven men were also killed. Our
loss was about sixty killed, wounded and
prisoners.
Mosby was in the house upon the plan
tation when he was surprised; but we
learn that he rallied his men with light
ning-like celerity, and when our squadron
broke he pursued and hacked them severe
ly. The guerilla chief received a severe
sabre cut on the forehead.
We learn that the Vermont carbine
companies delivered their fire upon the
enemy with good effect, and then opened
to the right and left to allow the sabre
companies to charge; but they did not
come up to the work.

HOW Fortunes are Made and Lost i'm
War Times.

~O--~~ -
War Times.
The New York Journal Of Commerce
gives the following instances of the hazard
of mercantile transactions during war
times:
An invoice of six hundred bales of cot
ton was consigned to this market, on Eng
lish account. It was sold at ninety-three
cents per pound, and the seller at once
engaged his exchange for remittance.
Before the transactions were concluded the
turn came, and both cotton and exchange
came down. The buyer of the cotton was
not able to take it, but the buyer of the
exchange was compelled to fulfill his agree
ment, so that he was compelled to pay
5000 on his part of the transaction
while the cotton still remained unsold
Take another instance: "A celebrated man
ufacturer bought of very clever specula-
tor 800 bales of cotton for forward deliv-
cry at high price-say eighty EIGHT cents.
Cotton went down, down, down, every
day, and the manufacturer warns into a
panic. So he settles his contract by pay
ing over to the fortunate operator check
for $4,000.
THE SEAsoN.-A gentleman who has
been spending the winter at the East, ar
rived here yesterday, and informs us that
the season is more advanced in Minnesota
than in western and central New York. On
last Friday, he says, there was fair sleigh
ing in the vicinity of Rome, and people
there were hauling their wood to market
on sleighs. On reaching northern Illinois.
he found the farmers engaged in blowing
and sowing. There is scarcely any differ.

ground in southern Minnesota and the
country between Chicago and DUBUQUE.

The Objects Of the War.

When the Lord showed Daniel things
that were about to happen, he enquired,
20 my Lord what shall be the end OF
these things? Tue reply of Jevovah was
"Ge thy way, Daniel for the words are
closed up and sealed till the time of the
end. Many shall be purified and made
whole and tried but the wicked shall do
wickedly and none of the wicked shall
understand but the wise shall under
stand"
Every object God has in permitting this
war we shall not discover in this world.
But two objects a;e very apparent, and
they are the same that God speaks of to
Daniel Many Shall be purified; but
the wicked shall continue to do wicaediy.
Many of our citzens and soldiers are be-
ing converted to Cod This is one object
of the. war, that By means of trials and
suffering We may learn that this world Is
not their rest. And while many are be-
ing purified and made better, many are
growing more wicked. Numbers are be-
coming drunkards gamblers, extortion-
ers and covetous. Bottles If whiskey are
carried in the pockets oil travellers gam

The Rising Generation.

The MississippiaQ closes timely aItt-
Gle on the educational interests of the
country, as follows:
We must give more time and attention
to training the youthful mind. Seek

mind, and the lnrans by which ifs pow
ers may be most apldly developed, re-

will insist these lessons be accurately
learned, and recitsd at brisk pace with
out the least halting or hesltatlon-ths
will practice prcfuse questioning and
cross questioning, leading the scholar
near enough the inference they Nt,h
them to draw to enable them to take
the final steps themselves. Let them
be applauded when they succeed and
encouraged when they fail; but new
er for moment, let the pupil lose his
interest or alacrity. The lesson being
short, the Strain on their faculties will
be short also, but recurring so often will
gradually build up the most valuable
habits man can possess, who wishes to
go into the world wide awake, with all
his wits about him
We threw out these hints upcn the mode
of schooling for the benefit of those whs
may wish to teach their own household

school days are ovsr, pupil SO trained

with pleasure record his vote against it. He disagreed

Mr. KEEN followed, and expressed much the same
sentiments He preferred the old BILL because the new

thought the old bill the best one for that purpose.

Mr.. seldom moved that the bill be laid upon the

Mr.. NEWMAN, of Mason, moved to lay upon the
