this week relates principally TO the removal
OF Gen. Meade and his successor. The
news-mongers at Washington have this mat
ter all settled, but the public don't see it yet.
Some have named Thomas. some Sedgwick,
and some Hooker as Neade's successor
The reason given for relieving him is his
late alleged tzzle across the Rapidan. What
the President thinks of these late movements
the public are not ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS he is
satisfied and will retain the hero of Gettys-
burg in command.
Gen. Grants army is quiet Longs,reet
was making tracks at last accounts, with his
heels pointed towards Knoxville. Gen. Gil
more has sent few more shells into Charles
ton, with what effect is not known. GEE.
Banks continue, successful in Texas. and 50
do the guerrillds in Virginia. Mosby's cut
throa,s are hanging about Meade's army ana
gobbling up every straggler.
The small pox is among the the Federal
prisoners in Virginia. Those that are not
starved will stand good chance Of dying BY
disease.
The rebel Gen. Morgan has been heard
from in Cumberland county, Ky. He is
pursued by Federal soldiers, and there are
expectations that be viii be re-cap,ured. We
hope so.
A bill has been introduced into Congress
to make Grant lieutenant general, like
Gen. Scott. The country is assured by let
ter writers that Gen. Grant has no aspira-
tons for the Presidency, that he wiIl~not be
a candidate against Mr.. Lincoln, who is his
his firm friend, but that Il. will try and take
the highest military Eonors.
; Gems. Haleck, Banks. DIX, Hooker, Thorn
as and Sherman. as well as Grant, are men
toned as lkel, to be raised to the grade Of
lieutenant general. On don't.
The legislature Of Georgia has passed res
buttons providing that every able bodied
citizen over fifteen. shall be inme diately en-
rolled and ordered into the service.
I There was great fire on the North river,
New York last week Wednesday, which was
referred to in our telegraphc despatch. /,
spread rapidly from vessel to vessel until
twelve craft, together with their cargoeS,
were totally destroyed.
Gen. Butler telegraphs that the rebel au-
thoritleS decline receiving any more pack
ages or provisions for the Union prisoners
The rebel authorities give as a reason there
for what they alleged to be all imputation on
their honor by the government authorities,
that they were not delivering the goods for
warded in good faith to the prisoners. There
is nice sense of honor for you. We are
not sure but the proposition of some one to
raise an independent army of 100000 volun-
teers to 60 20 Richmond and liberate our
prisoners is the practical way of succoring
our furnishing soldiers now in rebel hands.
I'VE record elsewhere one Of the most dar
ing acts of rebel piracy and murder by the
freebcoters vino seized the Chesapeake AS
long as We have men in the North who aid
and abet jeff Davis and his minions, We
must expect such daring villainy. The Ches-
apeake is now pursued BY fleet of vessels,
bat there is not much hope of overhauling
her. We think, although such anticipations
are held out by many.

Hardening Of tho Brain.

Softenipg Of the brain is not unfre-
quently the result of overtasking that
delicate and wonderful organ. South
ey, the poet, died of the disease, and
it is sometimes produced by sensual
excess as well as mental labor. But
according to a distinguished modern
anatomist, hardening Of the brain is
more common than its opposite.
Nothing can be more easy than to in
durate the organ of thought. 1t can
be done either by soaking the con-
tents a dead mans Uranium i'm alco-
hol or by the introduction of liquor in
to the skull of the living subject in
the form Of drains. In short, drunken
ness sometimes hardens the brain du
ring life, as effectually as a bath Of
fourth-proof spirits could solidify it
after death. Hyrth, the celebrated
physiologist, declared that he could
distinguish in the dark, by the resist
ance it offered to his knife, the brain
of drunkard from that of person
who had lived soberly and when he
found hardened brain in the dissect-
ing room, was accustomed to congrat-
ulate the students in his class on
obtaining specimen so thoroughly
prepared for preservation and for tho
purposes of demonstration.
How horrible thus to petrify, a. il
were, the seat of thought, the organ Of
the sonl, while its arteries still throb
with the pulses of life, and its gossa-
mer tissues are permeated and acted
upon by the immortal principle of our
being. Does the inebriate ever re-
fleet that he may be literally walling
his mind out of its God appointed
home! Does he realize, as his ideas
become more and more obtusc, that
the instruments through which they
are developed is hardening that it
must soon loose all flexibility and elias
ITCHY and become utterly powerless
that were it scoopcd from it's skull
now, and given to the surgeons, it
would be the jest of the dissecting
room as a =" drunkard's brain ?" Well
has it been said that habitual intoxi-
cation dries up all the foundations Of
feeling, leaving behind only q" brain
Of lead and heart Of stone"

Fun hot Confined to Man.

The following extract is taken from
a work entitled, Passions Of Ami.
mals:"
Small birds chase each other about
in play, but perhaps the conduct of the
crane and trumpeter are the most ex-
traordinary. The latter stands on
one leg, hops about in the most ex-
centric manner, and throws sommer-
saults. 1t is called the mad bird, on
account of these singularities. Water
birds, such as ducks and geese, dive
after each other and clear the surface
of the water with out-stretched neck
and Tapping wings throwing abun-
dant spray around. Deer often en-
gage in sham battle or trial of
strength by twisting their horns to-
gethcr and pushing for the mastery.
All animals pretending violence in
their play stop short Of exercising it
the dog takes the greatest precaution
not to injure by his bite, and the
in wrestling with his
keeper pretends to throw him, and
makes feints Of biting him. Some
animals carry out the semblance of
catching their prey young cats, for
instance, leap after a very small and
moving object, even to the leaves
strewed by the autumn wind the
body quivering. and the tail vibrating
with emotion, bound on the moving
leaf and again spring forward to
another. Bengger saw young jaguars
and cougars playing with round SUBJ
stances. There is story of q tame
magpie that was seen busily employ
ed in garden gathering pebbles, and
with much solemnity, and studied
air, dropped them in hole made to
receive post. After dropping each
stone. it cried currack" triumphant
ly, aud set off for another On exam-
ining the spot, poor toad was found
in this hole, which the magpie was
stoning for his amusement.

A mans purpose Of life is like Q
river which was born of thousand
little riils in the mountains; and
when at last it has reached its man
hood in the plains, though If you
watch it you shall see little eddics
that seem as if they had changed their
minds, and were going back again to
the mountains, yet all its mighty cur
rent flows changeless 10 the sea. II
you build a dam across it, in a few
hours it will go over in violence Of
victory. If tides check it at the mouth
it is only that when they ebb it can
sweep on again to the ocean. So it
goes the Amazon or Orinoco across .
continent-neyer losing it's way, or
changing direction for a thousand
streams that fall into it on the right
hand and on the left, but only using
them to increase its force, and bear
ing them onward in its resistless chan
nel.

STRONG CHARAcrERs.- Strength Q

STRONG CHARACrERs.-S Strength of
character consists of two things
power Of will and power of self-re.
straint. 1t requires two things there
fore for it's existence strong feelings
and strong command over them. Now
It is here We make great mistake
we mistake strong feelings for strong
character. A man who bears all be-
fore him, before whose frown domes-
tics tremble, and whose bursts of fury
make the children of the household
he has his viii obey
ed, and his own way in all things
We call him strong man. The truth
is, that he is the weak man it is his
passions that are strong he, master
ed by them, is weak. You must
measure the strength of man by tho
power Of the feelings he subdues, not
by the power of those which subdue
him.
