Il SEC E6STON LIBEL EXPOSED.
The communication from Mrs Chad
bourne, which we printed in our issue Of
Saturday, exposes the libel attempted to be
fastened upon the Sanitary Commission by
the secession organ in this city, and thor
orghly refutcs the dcrogatory charges
made against its officers and the ladies who
ale Instrumental in fulfilling its purposes.
Mrs. c. brands as false the entire statement
SIT forth IN that paper. It YVES not neces-
eary that the characters Of Judge Skinner
and the other officers Of the Commission
should have been purged Of the grave Of
fences imputed to them BY this disloy
al paper. Every one acquainted With
them knows them to be honorable, high.
minded men, incapable Of dupl1city in a
cause so sacred; but in accomplishing
this end and in driving home the lie upon
these secession editors, Mrs. G. at once
d1scloses and lays bare to the public, the
animus with which they coined these fab
relations. They were conceived and
printed in the spirit Of disloya1ty and ha.
tired to the soldiers. It was only another
act Of the fre.in-the-rear programme
which they threatened when the war
broke out. 1t was expected to prove a
bomb shell in the midst Of the great SAM
tary Fair, which would at once blast its
prospects, stop further contributions, pre-
vent attendance and thus cut of the sup
plies which the results Of the Fair would
pour into the garners Of the Commission
for the benefit Of the soldiers. The At
tempt miscrably failed. The Fair has
been signal success and will car1J IN
numbered blessings to the camp and the
hospital. The secession sheet stands con
yicted again Of disloyal practices.

The DAMAGE Done TO FoRr SUMTER
Charleston papers are very silent about the
injuries done to Fort Sumter in the late as
sault by the ron-clads, bus q letter from a
correspondent on board the ironsides to the
Baltimore american, says that soon as the
feet withdrew staging or scaffolding was erect
ed on the outside of the fort, and for more
than a month past the rebels have been at
work repairing damages, and are still at work.
There are large holes in the walls very dis
tinctly seen.
The above abundant;y corroborates the
statement of Gen. Stoughton and other off,
GERS, who, while they were prisoners in the
hands of the rebels at Richmond, heard that
Fort sumter was SO much shattered by our. IRON
clads that even a little more perseverance,
would have put it hors de combat.

TRoUTIHG ALL ALONE.

/ went trouting. / went trouting,
And the morning Sun aslant
Threw its amber glances slyly
Where the birds their mathis chant;
And the hooks held witehing shadows
On their dewy dusk of stone,
And because my heart asked nothing,
/ went trouting all alone.
o, 1 angled where the water
Swept the pebbles clear and slow,
And the sky smiled down upon me,
And the brook laughed up below;
But a trout was never startled
Where the silver eddies shone,
And my heart kept asking softly
Why l trOuted all alone.
Then there came a brown-haired phantom
And how true to life it seemed, -
Looking up with dimpled smiling
Where but now the ripples cleaned
So 1 smiled to see it smiling,
But the phantom face had flown,
And maiden stood beside me
Who'd gone trouting all alone.
Then the m orning hurried swiftly,
And the moon stood in the sky,
But trout had neither captured.
Though 1 couldn't tell you why;
And there came a promise softly,
Ere the evenings crimson shone,
That whenever WE went trouting,
We'd go trouting all alone.

SELECTIONS FOR A NEWSPAPER Most people
think the selection of suitable matter for q
newspaper the easiest part of the business.
How great an error. 1t is by all means the
most difficult. To look over and over hun
dreds OF exchange l'apers every week, from
which to select enough for one. especially
when the question is not what shall, but what
shall not be selected, is no casey task. II
every person who reads a newspaper could
have edited it, we should hear less complaints.
Not unfrequently it is the case, that an editor
looks over all his exchange papers for some
thing Interesting and can absolutely find moth
ing. Every paper is dryer than contribu-
tion box and yet something must be had
his paper must come out with something in it,
and he does the best he can. To an editor
who has the least cares about what he selects,
the writing that be has to do is the easiest
part of the labor. Every subscriber thinks
the paper printed for his own benefit, and if
there is nothing in it that suits him, it must
be stopped-it is good for nothing. Just as
many subscribers editor may have, SO
many tastes he has to consult. One wants
something smart another something sound.
One likes anecdotes, fun and froIic, and the next
door neighbor wonder that man of sense
will put such stuff in the paper. Something
spicy comes out and the editor is blackguafd.
Next comes something argumentative, and
the editor is a dull fool. And so, between
them all, you see, the poor fellow gets rough
ly handled. And yet to ninty-ni out OF
hundred these things do not occur. They
never reflect that what dose not please them
may pleae the next man but they insist that
if the paper does not suit them, it is good for
nothing.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoroMAc, May
IL, 1S63.-The following order has been is
sued:-
Headquarters Army Of the Potomac, May 6.
GENERAL ORDERS No. 4e.-The Major Cen
eral Commanding tenders to this army his
congratu lations on its achievements of the
last seven days. II it has not accomplished
all that was expected, the reasons are we'll
known to the army. 1t is sufficient to say
they were of character not to be foreseen or
presented by human sagacity resource. In
Withdrawing from the south bank of the Rap
pahannock before delivering general battle
to our adversaries, the army has given renew
ed evidence of its confidence in itself and its
fidelity to the principles it represents. In fight
ing at a disadvantage, we would have been
recreant to our trust, to ourselves, to our cause
and our country. Profoundly loyal and con-
scious of its strength, the army OF the Poto-
mac will give or decline battle whenever
its interest or honor may demand. IL will also
be the guardian of its own history and its own
aim. By our celebrity and secrecy of move
ment, our advance and passage of the rivers
was undisputed, and on our withdrawal not
rebel ventured to follow.
The events of the last week may swell with
pride the hearts of every officer and soldier of
this army. We have added new lustre to its
former renown. We have made long marches,
crossed rivers, surprised the enemy in his en-
trenchnents, and wherever we have fought
have inflicted heav ier blows than we have re-
ceived. We have taken from the enemy FIVE
thousand prisoners, fifteen coIors, captured
and brought off seven pieces of artillery,
placed hors dG combat eighteen thousand of his
chosen troops, destroyed his depots, filed with
vast amounts of stores, deranged his commu-
nications, captured prisoners within the for
ti6cations of his capital, and filed bis country
with fear aud CONSERVATION. We have no
other regret than that caused by the loss Of
our brave companions; and in this we are
consoled by the conviction that they have
fallen in the holiest cause ever submitted to
the arbitrament OF battle. By command Of
Maj. Gen. Hooker. 8. WILLIAMS, A. A, G.

CHANGING CLOTHING.

1t has come within the observation of ma
ny reader that serious and severe illness has
| been induced, and even fatal sickness caused
by change of C lothing. Injnry never comes,
perhaps, by putting more warmer CLOTH

erately. The first great general rule, and al
ways the safesi.is TO make the change when
you first dress in the morning if you wait
until you are uncomfortabIy warm duringt he
day, it is most likely to be in the early part of
the afternoon. In making the change, then,
there are two OF three causes of disease in op-
GRAFTON the fact of undressing endangers a
check of perspiration the garments about TO
be put on may not be perfectly dry, there may
be no opportunity, even if they are dry, to
warm them up to the heat of the body; and
further, just about the time you have chang
ed, the cool and danlps Of the afternoon and
even ing begin to come on, increasing until
dark, while having been thrown off your guard
by the warmth of the moring, you may not
feel the necessity of FIRE, and by tea time you
are surprised with disagreeabe chilliness
running over you; then the cold has been ta-
