4 Whisper TO Daughters.

Girls, before You decide 10 accept a
man as Your companion for life, look
well to his resentments See if he hates
anybody soundlv. If SO, you run a great
risk in marrying him. A man who can
hate well. has not the qualities to make
good friend. A truly noble soul Will
never hate bitterly, even though deeply
injured. He stands on too high ground;
lie may be deeply hurt, and much displeased
ne may avoid one he knows to be an enemy,
but he does not harbor bitter hatred in his
soul.
y noble mind is not always on the look
oui for little offences. but takes good humored-
ly slight annoyanees that are plenty enough
in every ones pathway. Do not countenance
person who thinks TO add to us Importance
by clustering at hotel servants, railroad en-
plOyers. or whenever he feels it is safe to do
it. lnstead of proving him cosmopolitan.
as he vainly thinks, his barking and snarling
only show MS affinity to the puppy. Do not
marry a rowdy if ne is ever so rich, hoping
YOUR influence will reform him. See TO it
that he is well reformed before you take a
step from which YOU can never recede while
life lasts.
1t is an excellent sign for young man if
he is kind and attentive TO his mother and

Why the Attack on Charleston was not
Continued.

1t has been evident that something was
concealed as to the reasons for Withdrawing
the monitor fleet from in front of Charleston
after the first attack. A letter from the chap
lain of the 10th New York regiment, at
Hilton Head, written in defense of Gen
Hunter, makes the following explanation,
which is in keeping with the general war
management at Washington and not at all
improbable
"Soon after the attack on Fort Sumter
had commenced, and when promising favora-
BILE results dispatch arrived from Washing
ton, ordering delay in the attack On Charles
ton, and that three of the monitors to be sent
to the relief of Admiral Farragut at Vicks-
burg. This order was sent with the suppo-
sition that the attack on Charleston had not
commenced. On the arrival Of the order, a
council OF naval officers was held Some of
them were in favor Of continuing the attack
but Admiral Dupont decided in the negative
he reasoned thus: If should continue the
attack contrary to orders, ard should succeed
the government might sustain me. If
should make failure and lose the monitors
should lose my head. Who will say that
this was not sound reasoning As soon a:
it was known at Washnton that the attack OF
( Charleston had already commeced, and tina
itwould 60 out to the country as failure,
another order came for the imme diate rerewi
of the attack"

leaving the convent, and after taking leave OF
her parents, proceeded to this city in July
last, with the design of enlisting in the I'd
East Tennessee cavalry, which she accomp-
lished, and accompanied the army of the
Cumberland to Nashville. She was in the
thickest of the fight at Murfreesboro, and
was severely wounded in the shoulder, but
fought gallaptly, and waded Stone river into
Mufreesboro, on the memorable Sunday on
which our forces were driven back. She had
her wound dressed, and her sex was disclos-
ed and Gen Rosecrans made acquainted with
the fact. She was accordingly mustered out

entreaty to be allowed to serve the cause she
loved so we'll The general was very favora

pretty, and very amiable. Her conversation
denotes more than ordinary accomplishment.
and, what stranger than all, she appears very
refined in her manners, giving no evidence
whatever of the rudeness which might nat
urally be expected from her late associations.
Frank informs is that she has discovered a

intimately acquainted with young lady who

in burying three female soldiers at different
times. whose sex were unknown to any but
