A SINGULAR FAoT.--Out of the gall
liant army, under which Lyon fought
the battle of Wilson Greek, has arisen
a host of commanders. They are
found everywhere throughout the eoun-
try, but chiefly in the West. There
were then present the usual compliment
of officers for force Of five thousand
men. From them have been made six
major generals and thirteen brigadiers.
Colonels, lieutenant colonels and majors
by the score have sprung from those
who then were line or non commission
ed officers. From one company of the
1st Iowa infantry, thirty seven commiss-
ioned officers are now in service. Sim
ilarly one company of the 1st Missouri
has contributed thirty two. It is a
curious fact, that Of the officers who
survived the battle of Wilson Creek,
not one has since been killed in battle,
and only one died from disease. In
every battle for the Union the heroes Of
this terrible contest are found, and no.
where have they disgraced their record.
Is it not worth ten years of life to be.

Franklin Asking for Work.

Franklin, when youth, went to Lon
don, entered a printing office and inquired
if he could get employment.
"Where are you from?" asked the fore
man.
"Ahr p said the foreman, "hom America ?
A lad from America seeking employment as
printer? Well, do yon really understand
the art of printing? Can you really set
type?'
Franklin stepped up to one of the cases,
and in very brief space of time set up the
following passage, from the first chapter of
john
''Nathaniel said unto him, can any good
come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto
him, come and see"
1t was done so quickly, so accurately, and
contained delicate reproof so appropriate
and powerful, that it at once gave him a
character and standing with all in the office.

THE CosT OF REFUSING TO TAKE OUT
LIoENsEs.-Several parties in Cincinnati
refused recently to take out licenses, un-
der the Internal Revenue regulation, to
retail liquors, and determined to test the
validity of the law in the high courts.
The law requires each retail liquor deal
or to take out license and pay twenty
dollars annually. These parties had
their respective cases tried, and had to
pay judgement of eighty-two dollars,
rendered against them. Two physicians
in Indiana disputed the right Of a collec-
tor to claim ten dollars from them for
each license, and appealed to the .. S.
District Court for decision in the mat
ter, and Judgment in each case was Civ
en- against them for ffty-eight dollars,
which they were compelled to pay.

gay~The power of money is on the
whole over estimated. The greatest
things which have been done for the
world have not been accomplished by
rich men, or subscription list, but by
men generally of small pecuniry means.

the condition of manual labores in point

always be so. Riches are oftener an
impediment than stimulus to action ;
and in many cases they are quite as
much misfortune as blessing. The
youth who inherits wealth, is apt to have
life made too easy for him, and he soon
crows sated with it because he has moth.

When Treason reared its hydra head,
And trampled in the dust,
Meath Sumter's grim and battered walls
That flag, the freoman's trust;
The call went forth DER sea and land
Where hearts were true and brave,
To rescue from the traitor band,
Tee flag our fathers gave.
Throughout the giant teeming North,
Millions obeyed the call;
And scat from every freoman's hearth,
Their sons to fight and fall;
Behold them on the blood-stained field.
Cnotendng for the right,
Mid cannons roar, and flashing steel
Their banners cleaning bright.
AT Fair Oaks many hero fell;
And by the James tide;
And thy green banks, Antietam, red
With patriot blood was died
Where glides the Tennessee along.
Borne onward to the sea-
They calmly rest, their graves among
On hillside, bank and lea
But not in vain those heroes fell
On southern shore and wave
A nations future praise shall tell,
Where fought and fell the brave;
Inscribed upon historic page,
In ages yet to como,
Their dee DIS shall live who died to save,
The land of Washington
Then fling our banners to the breeze
Nor shall base traitors dare,
TO pluck from out those glorious folds
One star now shining there.
Nor shall they e'er in peace be furled
While DER the southern wave,
Il heard the clanking of the chains
That bind in bonds thesaye.
Weep not, fond mother for thy son,
For he is happy now
The fame that crowned Washington
Encircles now bis brow;
lie died in freedoms glorious cause,
His life blood freely gave,
TO save the Union and the laws
God bless our fallen brave,

The telegraph, as usual, was slightly pre-.
mature in proclaiming the fall Of Charles
Ton The only actual success we have had
is in pounding Sumter to pieces, though the
rebels still keep their flag flying over it,
That is of very little significance. As a
fort it is disabled. 1t has no guns in it,
and is no longer of any value as a defense
OF the harbor But forts Wagner and
Gregg are still untouched. The assaults
upon the former have been repulsed here
tof re, therefore, though We may still
hope for ultimate success, if not expect il,
as certainty. The navy seems to be do
ing little or nothing, and now it is expected
that it will take the foremost place. Fort
Moultrie has to be silenced, and this can..
not we'll be done, except by the navy,
and it is said that disputes are now raging
between the commanders of the land and
naval forces upon the subject of the naval
exploits.

The REASONABLY oRBEspoEDENcE.-As
was to be expected, the New York papers
deny the existence of reasonable cores
pondence, the object of which was to in
vite an invasion Of Canada by the Lincoln
dynasty, and in which certain persons in
this country are implicated. This denial
does not in the least shake our faith in the
correctness of the main statement, that
such correspondence has passed; and we
are quite willing to wait till the facts fully
develop themselves, in order that it may be
seen where the truth lies. When we made
our first statement, we had not heard any
of the names of the conspirators mention
ed, but since then rumor has been busy, in
this city, in their identification. We for
bear, however, TO repeat the names freely
mentioned upon the street.-1oronto

The RECENT FRosT.-By accounts from
Western papers, it appears that immense
damage has been done the growing crops by
a heavy frost, which occurred on the LIST
and I'd inst. The wheat fortunately is al.
secured, and we are insured an abundance
of -four for the coming year. But the Corn
crop of the country has probably beei' mt
off twenty per cent. by this uutimely cold
snap" Oftobacco there will not be more
than two-third crop saved, while northern
grown cotton is utterly destroyed. The
hopes ola large crop OF sorghum have hsen

This frost will prove costly disaster to the
West, and subtract tens of millions from

LINcoLN's LAST JoKE.-It is rumored tina,
President Lincoln was opposed the to dec

after the election, amember Of the Cabinet
cited TO him the large vote that was cast in
the State as proof that but few qualified
voters were denied the privilege of voting,
he retorted that "the crime was as great as
if majority of the inhabitants had been
excluded from the polls Sir said Mr..
Lincoln with just indignation and severe
dignity of manner safer the. admission
by Sarah, the nurse of Jack Easy, that she
a mother, though unmarried, her plea in
excavation that ''the baby was little one
