People who think the sun a ball of FIRE
may be surprised to learn that Sir John
Herschell thinks it inhabited by living De.

Col. Cloud was put in command of Fort
Smith, and if lie succeeds as he did while
commanding the District of Southwest
Missouri, he will have there, as he has here,
many friends to remember the dashIng
Kansas Cloud.
Fort Smith Is an important point. Guam
titles OF corn are raised in that section.
Cattle are plenty. Large amounts of salt
sugar, etc., are in the country, and our
army needs only coffee and bacon from
Uncle Sam. and they can live on the top
shelf. Sweet and Irish potatoes are in
abundance, and the boys want no better
thing than to be allowed to remain in that
country.
Cloud opened negotiations with the Choc-
laws. with good prospect of their laying
down their arms and returning to their
allegiance. We have a vast number of
friends in and around Fort Smith.
Cloud Is laboring hard 10 establish peace
and quiet in the country around. He re-
marked that it was the most laborious and
pleasant duty he had done, and success will
attend his efforts. The gratitude of the
people there will reward him if his friends
in Kansas will not. Since he came to this
post last January, he has won the friend
ship and respect of officers and men in this
district. He proved a most successful
commander, and during his administration
here lie has kept the great Southwest most
completely cleared of guerilas and bush
whackers, Notwithstanding it is the most
exposed of any in Missouri. There can be
no guerilla organization where he is-al-
ways watchful and on the alert, jealous and
tireIess. If he hears of an enemy he goes
for him. They know him and give him a
wide birth.
The country is fast becoming radicalized.
The Missouri Democrat is the leading pa
per. and hardly shadow of the Democratic
party is lett in Southwest Missouri.
Hundreds of deserters from the rebel
army in Arkansas are coming in and giving
themselves up.
Several officers Of the Cd, including 1t
Col. Bassstt and Major Frisk, are on court
martial.

THE GREAT WEST.

Another season of general prosperity has
been providentially granted to the Great
West. The farming season is nearly over,
and all the crops are pronounced abundant"
sufficient and more than will be required
to supply their every want. While the no.
bic patriots of those prairie empires have
freely poured out their blood and their
earthly treasure to suppress the rebellion,
the God OF the faithful has rewarded them
in every quarter with Astounding prosper

crop, probably, can be produced with So

amount OF beef raised this year in that sec

the highest average prices, probably, ever

great. Until within few years butter has
not been made very extensively at the West,

CREDIT BUSINESS.

Business men will ever be thankful at
the great changes which have taken place in
doing business, since the outbreak of the
pro slavery rebellion. Formerly almost
every description of merchandise was sold
on credit. This was true in all sections of
the country, from B )ston to St. Louis, and
from Baltimore to New Orleans. Com par
atively speaking, very few goods were sold
for cash, either at wholesale or retail. A
complete revolution, however, has taken
place within The past two years. and the
cash principle has been generally adopted
in almost every branch of trade. More
goods are now paid for with cash down, or
within thirty or sixty days after purchase,
than the total credit sales Of former years
when from four to twelve months time was
demanded. Such a change in the CONNER
cia world will save to the traders of the ma
ton scores Of millions of dollars annually.
When every law on our statute books en-
forcing the collection of debts-except per-
haps for money loaned-shal be wiped out
and such. we believe, Will soon be the
fact-then all kinds Of business will be con
Quoted on the right principle, and great com
mercial panics and disastrous. wide sweeping
failures, will be unknown. "OWe no man
anything" is the inspired golden motto,
and it is worthy of being written in shining
capitals in every counting room.
There Is now no excuse whatever for do
ing a credit business Money is abundant,
and il is yearly increasing. We are pro-
ducing. annually, seventy FIVE millions of
gold and siiver-an amount quite sutfi-
cent TO answer all the demands of trade.
When peace is again resored-or within
five years sherealleT-we may safely calcu-
late on mining one hundred millions of The
precious metals yearly. Such an augmenta
ton of gold and silver, as a circulating
medium, will enable business men to make
all their transactions for cash. Then we
shall enter upon new era of prosperity,
which will put the past into the shade
entirely.
The South has always wanted long credits,
and our late Union saving" but now

even twenty four months time has often
been given to ''our dear Southern breth rem"

speculate in negroes and cotton plantations.

Snakes are some of the most dangerous
foes that Europeans have to cope with in
the tropics. A traveller of the name of
Baltic, one morning startled his compan-

he was lying in his hammock, and, to their

esThe soaprd norn',-A Religious Tale.

Chaplain Gladds said, at the commence
ment of his speech, that even a preacher
might get mad under certain circumstances.
He illustrated this by narrating the follow
ing: At camp meeting once an old brother
was detailed to bring sinners to the altar of
repentance by sounding a horn. During q
temporary absence from his post of duty, an
unregenerated person filed the horn with
soft soap. When the brother came back to
resume the vocation of Gabriel, he discover
ed the trick that had been played upon him.
Said he, 81 have been a member of the
church for foIty-6ve years, and minister
of the Gospel for thirty-6 have never
sworn an oath in my life, but d-n me if
don't whip the man that soaped my horn"
Pretty soon after the altar was crowded
with moruners, and the spirits influence
was manifesIing itself very satisfactorily
except in one heart that seemed very stub
born. The proprietor of the horn approach
ed this obdurate case and asked him how
he felt. The poor sinner couldn't feel his
sins forgiven, and he knew there was no use
in his petitioning the Throne of Grace. He
had committed an objectionable sin, he said.
'Ah," said the preacher, 1.-THE blood OF
Christ cleanseth from all SIM

The minister looked at his stony hearted
suject a moment, and then suiting the action
TO the word said, ''Will some brother hold
my coat? Here's the damned rascal that
soaped my horn" The preacher whipped
the sinner. who soon after receiving the pun
ishment became thoroughly converted

mAAs The New York World, under the
head Of Excitement in the City" says:
The news received yesterday Of the de- re-
daticns committed b. the Alabama and Florida
created much alarm and anxiety in ann
ciRl circles in this city. Fears are moreover
entertained that by thia time the consort of
the Alabama-the new steamer called the Vir-
ginia-will shortly be cruising in their com
pany, and the value Of American property
upon the seas is becoming daily more precsri-
GUS.
Abolition papers estimate the amount OF
property destroyed by the Alabama and Flori-
da, up to the latest adyices from the theatre Of
their operations, at twelve millions of dollars.
When we take into account the injury these
cruisers have done to the shipping interest of
Lincolndom, by the increased rates of insur-
ance and the number of vessels that lie rottinC
at their quays, the amount Of loss sustained by
the depredations Of these two gallant ships is
swollen to + frightful sum.
