The Ago of Man.

Few men die of age. Almost all men
die of disappointment, passional, mental or
bodily toll, or accident. The passions kill
men sometimes suddenly. The common
expression "choked with passion" has little
exaggeration in it, for even though not sud-
denly fatal. strong passions shorten life
Strong bodied men often die young-weak
men live longer than the strong, for the
strong use their strength and the weak have
rone to use. The latter take care of them
selves; the former do not. As it is with th e
body, so it is with the mind and temper
The strong are apt to break, or like the
candle, run; the weak burn out. The in
fericr animals which live temperate lives
have generally their prescribed term of years
The horse lives twenty-five years; the OK
fifteen or twenty; the lion about twenty;
the hog ten to twelve; the rabbit eight; the
Guinea pig six or seven. The numbers all
bear proportion to the time the animal takes
to grow to its full size. But man of all
ANIMALS is the one that seldom comes up to
the average. He ought to live hundred; /;
but instead of that, he scarcely reaches to
the average of three tines the growing Pc
rod The reason is obvious-man is not only
the most irregular and most intemperate, but
the most laborious aud hard worked of all
animals. He is always the most irritable OF
all animals. and there is reas on to believe.
though we cannot tell what an aDimal Sc
crstly feels, that. more than any Other AMI
NAL, man cheTishes wrath to keep Il warm,

own reflections.

whose last music for them was the sad ca

will ever be broken, for that voice will ever
be wanting Meath the palme etto is q little

such little mounds there are scattered over
the South--mounds that are marked by no
head-stones? No loving hands eve. plant
flowers on th EN-, no loving eyes ever water
them with their tears. Hands hardened bv
grasping steel consigned the dust, and none
but eyes unused to weeping gaze On those
little lone mounds. We do not realize the
vast amount of sorrow this war is creating.
No one but those from whose hearthstone
have been taken the 'only one killed. can
realize it.

The War aud New England Manufac>
lures.

The annual report of the Massachusetts,
Bank Commissioners contains highly intsr-
esting statements as to the effect of the war
on the productive industry of the State aS
we'll as its capital: -,...I
Seldom, if ever, has the business of Mas
sachusetts been more active or profitable
than during the past year. The war has
brought into activity many mechanical en-
ployments for which there is little occasion
in time of peace-such, for example, as the
manufacture of arms and ordnance, camp
and garrison equipage, saddlery and artil-
lery harness, and military clothing and ac~
couterments. 1t has, also, greatly stimu-
lated the manufacture of boots and shoes,
and of woolen goods. while the subsistence
of the army has furnished constant end re-
m munerative m arket for breadstuffs and pro-
visions. There is hardly branch Of do
mestic industry which has not been actively
employ yed. The cotton m manufacturer aloue
has been interrupted by the loss of the raw
material, and has given less occupation to
labor than ususlj but there never was tims
since this branch of industry established it
self in New England when the profits from
itrealized have been so considerable. Divi-
dends have been made exceeding any form
er precedent, and reserves carried into the
surplus funds of corporations to insure and
equalize dividends hereafter. Advantages
has been taken of, the stoppsge of mills, to
put machinery and buildings in thorough
repair, so that whenever the supply of cot
tap is once more abundNut, the msnufactur-
eG of Massachusetts, will be better prepared
than ever before to reap all the advantages
incident to the occasion. Nor has the con-
diton of the operatives, deprived of their
usual employ yment, been materially impair
ed. So great has been the draft upon the
male population to fill the army, that there
has been an unusual demand for mems labor
in other directions, while female operatives
have found occupation in the manufactorie6
IF clothing, in the attendance of shops and
n domestic service.

HEADQUARTERS DIsTRIcr OF INDIANA, \
DEPARTMENT OF THE ONO.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND., April rs. 1863 !

1ND1ANAPoL1s, Ind, April Is, 1862
In assuming command of the District Of
Indiana, the General Commanding deems &c
advisable and proper to issue the following
order, to the end that all may be advised Of
the principles which will govern his action.
i. He had no proclamation to issue, nor
policy to adopt. That has already been
done, and in his judgment we'll done, by the
Comm anding General of this Department.
He has no partisan feelings or interests he
intends to advance, but desires to confer
freely and fully with the prominent men Of
all political parties, and invokes their hear
ty cooperation in all measures calculated
to restore harmony and good feeling in the
State. He neither claims any right to in
terfere with civil matter in the State, nor
has any desire to do So. .-, 4a . -.
2. The Commanding General is charged
with the duty of carrying into effect the pro.
visions of General Order No. SO, recently
issued by Major General Burnside. He
purposes doing so. Unmistaksble evidences
has reached him that the provisions of this
order have been and are being, violated In
who are led astray by newspapers and pub
lie speakers. These latter will therefore be'
held to the most rigid accountability
There is no use in trying to dry the stream
while its fountains are allowed to flow.
All newspapers or public speakers that
or encourage resistance to the Con-
scription Act, or any other la,o Of Congress
passed as q s0ar measure, or that endeavor to
bring the ,0dr policy fthe Government into
disrepute, will be considered as violating the
order above alluded to treated accordingly.
The country will have to be saved or lost
during the time that this Administration
remains in power. and, therefore, he who 10
factiously and actively opposed to the war
policy of the Administration, is as much
opposed to his Government. o .4
3. The Commanding General INDUCES
the hope that all citizens of the State will
lee the propriety and necessity of the OBJ
'ervaDce of this Order, and as they regard
he interests and welfare of the State and
alton, give him no occasion to take Action
10 account Of its violation.
