The Printer.
Among the ranks OF human kind,
Some 20 before, and some behind,
But mind them well, and you will find
Not hindmost is the Printer.
The lessons which you learned at school,
That you might not grow up fool,
Had all in scientific rule
Been published by the Printer
How do your Presidents and Kings
Govern 50 many thousand things2
lis by the types, the screws, and springs,
Belonging to the Printer.
The Farmer and mechanic, too,
Would sometimes scarce know what to do,
Could they not get certain view
Of things done by the Printer.
The doctor cannot meet the crooks
OF all his cases. till he looks
Upon the pages of the books
Supplied him by the Printer.
The lawyer for wit has passed,
But high as he his head may cast,
He would be but Ounce at last,
Were it not for the Printer.
Who is it that so neatly tells
The various goods the merchant sells,
Inviting all the besul and bellesl
Who is it but the Printer2
The classes of the human race,
Of different size. Of di iferent face,
Appear in this and every place
How obvious to the Printer.
One sings the bass, one sharps and fats,
Bed ckei with pantalo,ns and hats,
And long tailed costs, and smooth cravats,
Of this class is the P4iRtcr.
The other sings the treble sweet,
Adorned with frocks and bonnete neat,
And, look how beanteou. and complete,
And lovely to the Printer
'Tis hymen's will, of course, you know;
These classes should in couples go.
And, since the world will have it so,
80 be it," says the Printer.
There's not a man below the skies
Who better understands the prize,
The charms that grace lady's eyes,
Than does this very Printer,
Young maidens, then, without debate,
IT'S hoped you III duly estimate,
Before, in fact, it is too late,
The value of the Printer.

II o'clock this morning.

A gent who left Gettysburg at o'clock
yesterday a. M, informs us that there is no
truth in the telegraph report from Harrisburg
of rebel advance on that place. The near
est approach of rebel cavalry to Gettysburg
was the arrival of a small body of scouts at
Monterey, ten miles distant, where they stole
a few horses and beat hasty retreat, evil

that has crossed the Maryland line beyond
Greencastle, has been small bodies of cavalry
scouts after horses and cattle, of which they
have received a small supply.

| The gunboat De Soto returned to this port
to-day, after an unusually long cruise. She
has been under steam about forty-fve
days.
About month ago a ship appeared in an
unusual quarter, and soon after the boom Of a
gum with jack flying at the fore, off the
| Northwest Passage, set this community all
agog, and many were the speculations in
dulged i'll, nobody suspecting what ship it
could be. So completely was she disguised
that not pilot nor man Of the squadron
could recognize her. Out went the pilot with
cracking breeze, and just before night
closed we saw a squadron of five sail stand
ing into the channel
| BY o'clock curiosity was all appeased by
the announcement that the De Soto had come
off the port to send in her prizes four having
cargoes Of cotton bound for Havana, and one
assorted cargo bound into Mobile, and was
waiting off the light for the return of her off
GERS and men. Since then she has been fur
rowing through every wave of the Gulf and
the caribbean Sea, and for many years to

cries on many foreign Exchange, for she

as to compel the owners of the Cuba to burn
her in order to save her from becminga prize;
and two days after, the blockade runner, Mat
agorda, escaped from her under cover of dark

cargo. These are some of the items which
gather from her boats crew, who landed this
evening. Further particulars of interest in

DESCRIPTION OF THE STEAMER.

The Steamship Norwegian was an iron
screw propeller, belonging to the Montreal
Steamship Company, Of $500 tons burthen.
She was built by Messrs. Dinnie Brothers, at
Dumbarton, on the Clyde, in the year 1860,
and was consequently only three years
old. The Norwegian was 312 feet in length
thirty-seven feet in breadth, and twenty four
in depth of hold. She was registered A ! at
Lloyds, and as belonging to the port of Mon
treal, Canada She had three decks, seven
water-tght bulkheads, and was rugged as a
bark, and crew twenty-four feet of water
She was furnished with two direct engines,
the cylinder of each being sixty-eight inches
in diameter, with forty-five inch stroke of
piston. The security against fire was good.
The Norwegian was commanded by Captain
McMasters.
Like the steamship Anglo Saxon, belong
ing to the same company, which was lost in
April last, the Norwegian ran alternately
with six fine consort steamers in their service
from Liverpool and Londonderry to Portland
Maine and Quebec, the ships making harbor
at Portland during the winter, and at Mon
treal, after touching near Quebec, in the sum-
mer months. These steamers very regularly
from Londonderry, Ireland, after taking i'll
mails and passengers on the day next after
that on which they took their departure from
Liverpool. Each vessel of the line carried
the Canadian and United States mails, and
all had the reputation of being ably comman-
ded and well founded and disciplined Messrs.
SabeI & Searle, of No. % Broadway, are the
agents for the line in New York.
The Norwegian makes the seventh vessel
which the Montreal Steamship Company have
lost since the year 1857.

We also captured upward of sixty prisoners,

left their dead and wounded on the field. Of

as fast as possible On Thursday, detach-
ment of Federal cavalry had slIirmish with

but the results are unknown, further than
that we had captured about 20 prisoners.

With much regret | have to announce to
you the abandonment, by order of the surgeon
General, in compliance with the wishes OF the
Secretary of War, Of the establishment OF
General Hospital at Prairie du Chen, IN this
State. After many and urgent written and
verbal requests by me to the President of the
United States. and the military authorities at
Washington. for the establishment Of Gen
eral Military Hispital in Wisconsin, in order
that those sick and wounded Wisconsin SOL
diers who were not expected to recover speed
! ily might have the healthy and invigorating
climate Of our State, and the advantage of be-
ing near their friends at home, an order was
made few weeks ago for the establishment
of such hospital at Prairie du Chen. Rely
ing upon this, upon a former order of the War
Department providing for the transfer OF a GER
tain class of sick and wounded soldiers to
hospitals or nearest their respective States and
upon recent order Of the Medical Director
. Of the Army of the Tennessee, permitting the
| Governor Of Indiana to transport to north
ern hospitals, from those at Memphis the
wounded Indiana soldiers that would proba-
| bly, be unfit for service within forty days, |
! have, in my recent visit to the hospitals at
Memphis and other places, held out the hope
to the wounded soldiers and their friends, Of
their speedy transfer to the hospital at Prair-
lie du Chen. On my return to st. Louis |
found, however, much to my regret, that the
abandonment ofthe hospital at Prairie du Chen
had been ordered, because of the sufficiency OF
hospital accommodations at other places and
on reaching home a letter Of the Secretary OF
War, received during my absence, convinces
me that, for the present, there is little hope
of procuring a speedy transfer of our sick and
wounded soldiers to Wisconsin.
deem it my duty to make this statement
in order that false hopes may not be enter
tanned by the sick and wounded soldiers and
their friends.
