But, bringing all the aforesaid States to an
estimate for 1860, we will put their aggregate
militia force between eighteen and forty6ve
years at seven hundred thousand men. or this
number at least one hundred thousand have
been lost already since the beginning of
the war, and the four hundred thousand
which are now in the field embrace
very nearly the last white man that can be
withdrawn from the agricultural and manufac-
turing pursuits Of the rebel States, which are in
dispensable 10 the maintenance of their soldiers
in the field, the subsistence Of their families at
home, and the government Of the slaves on
their plantations.
We may safely say, therefore, that while the
consoriptions Of JEFF. Davis during the last
twelve months have exhausted the available
brought them all into ths asld, President Lip
coin has Reserved militia force of three mil
lions of men upon which to draw, and from
which he may draw million of soldiers with
out very seriously disturbing the essential in
dustrial operations of the country. But belev
ing as we do, that our land and naval forces
now in the field If managed with ordinary
ability, are sufficient to put down the armies of
the rebellion, the question recurs, why, then,
this sweeping Conscription act We con-
lecture that it is designed to meet the
possible contingencies of foreign Intervention,
and' in view of powerful military diversion
into Mexico or Canada, should the future pro-
ceedings of France or England call for it.
In late number of the London Post (the
mouthpiece Of Lord Palmerston). the editor,
commenting on the latest aspects OF this war.
says that "the federals are divided and
dispirited, ashamed to confess themselves
foiled, yet anxious for decent pretext for with
drawing from an undertaking they feel to be
hopeless" that that "grand army (of the Poto-
mac) on which their hopes principally were
based is SO demoralized that two-thirds Of the
men have doggedy refused to follow their
generals" and that in England i" the little d.
versity of opinion" which may be found in re-
gard to the issue of the war must now spcedi-
ly cease to exist" We suspect, however, that
this federal Conscription act, and the facts and
figures which we have produced in connection
with it, will tend rather to increase than to
diminish this diversity of English public
opinion until the scales are changed Let us
have single telling victory upon the heels Of
these late comprehensive war measures Of
Congress, and they will be sufficient to con-
vince even Lord Palmerston that JEFF. Davis
is tottering to his fall, and that European in
tervention is utterly out Of the question
Hence we CONCUR in this Conscription act a.
the most effective stroke of diplomacy that
could be employed towards the South and to-
wards England. to convince her Of the strength
and determination of the government and loyal
States Of the Union to put down this Southern
rebellion, even against the possible contingency
of European Intervention.

There is no genius Of life, like the

very young men that certain great char

Inspiration, as it were, grows out Of sad
mistake.
And you will further End, when Won
come TO measure yourself with men. thai
there are no rivals so formidable as those
earnest, determined minds, which reckon
the value Of every hour, and which
achieve eminence by persistent application.
Literary ambition may influence YOU at
certain periods, and the sound of some

you are weary Of the dissipation and the

take up some glowing page OF an earnest
thinker, and read deep and long, until
you find the metal of his though; tinkline
on your brain and striking out from your

the mind light and heat. And away you

usurped the place of the Roman. The
original paintings, its admirably sculp-
tured choir and Roman capitals, are
adorned with proiuse ornaments, which
are attracting numbers Of visitors. This

THESE THINGS SHALL NEVER DIE

Tho pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts IN youth,
The impulse to wordless prayer,
The dreams Of love and truth.
The longing after something lost,
The spirits earnest cryj
The strivings after better hopes,
These things can mover die.
The ,imid band stretched forth to aid
A brother in bis neod,
Tho kindly word ir griet's dark hour,
That proves friend indeed
The plea for mercy, softly 5reathod,
When justice threatens high;
Tho sorrow of contrite heart,
Tbess things shall nevor die.
The memory of clasping hand,
Tho pressure of kiss,
And all the tri6cs, sweet aud frsil,
That make up loves first oliss,
If with firm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high,
Those hands have cIasp'd, those lips have
met,
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bittcr word,
That wounded as it fell,
The chilling want of sympathy,
We feel but never tell.
The hard repulse that chils tho hesrt
Whose hopes we're bounding high,
In an uufailing record kept,
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass. for every hand
Must fud some work to do;
Lose not chance to waken lovo-
Be firm, and just, and true:
So shall light which cannot fade
Beam on thee from oo high,
And angel voices say to thee,
These things shalt never die.

"Greeley's Experience in Persuading. /"

The Boston Courier, referring to the
New York Tribune's hope of "persuading
the Southern States Il. abolish Slavery, says
that it would have been well il the Abolition
lists had confined themselves to "persuadinR.'
To which Horace Greeley responds rather
tartly:
II tried. more than twenty five years ago,
TO persuade two Shareholders that sh cir
system was unjust and pernicious, and their
| reply was an attempt to persuade me off
| dock into thirty feet of water, which was
barely able with help to prevent. Long af-
! ter that, tried to persuade another slave
holder (son of a lifelong DegrO-trader, nnd
now himself Rebel GeDeral) that he had
made an unfair proposition in Congress and
he replied by attempting to persuade arhole
into the top of my skull. and my brains out
