automatic action of the faculties; is vast
reduction of time, and motive-power,
and labor required for the processes of the
mind. The result of that is, that the fac
ulties are left free to reach higher and far
ther. Their scope is increased. All
those things which have been subdued to
unconscious action, tend to liberate a man
so that he can 60 on to things that are
less familiar, and that require TO be famil-
iarized. This is the process of learning
namely, that oftaking unfamiliar things,
and subduing them to familiarity, by oft
recurring performance. And nothing is
learned until the mind comes to that state
in which it can manage it without think
ing of it. This is the process of true ed
ncation."

REAL PICTURE OF NEW YORK CITY AT
PRESENT.

We have seen nothing more graphically
true than the account given of our city,
just now, by a correspondent of the Spring
field Republican :-"If there be any who
think that this great metropolis is run
ming to seed, or that vegetation is thriv-
ing in any of its streets, beg them to
attend to what am about to say. 1t is
fact, that there never was more gaiety
and display in the city than there is at
the present time. Never were the streets
better filled with elegantly attired people,
or the show windows with more gorgeous
goods, than they are this fall. Stroll
through the Central Park any Of these

find the roads swarming with gay equip.

advance of the rebels. He sent out cav
airy scout, to spy ont their strength.
Soon we heard tremendous shout and
a volley of musketry followed, then all
was still, (The rebels had made charge
and were driven hack. except the rustl-
ing along our lines preparing to receive
them. Then the Colonel rode along our
lines, and said "boys, we have got live

man be firm, and stand his ground, and
let every shot tell that you are marksmen. "
was surprisd to see the coolness and
frmnes of the boys. Every one placed
himself in order for charge against cav
airy; for that was what we expected.
We waited nearly two hours, and no charge
was made. The scouts discovered their
lights, and Gen. Stoughton determined to
she'll them. The first shell burst in the
air. The second. third, fourth, and fifth

what execution, | do not know. 1t was
then thought they were trying to flank US,
so our company and companies H, l and
F, were thrown out on double quick,
through mud, and over bitches and every-
thing else, to prevent that movement.
Before day we were called back to our
first position. At day light, behold
there was no rebels in sight The 18th
regiment soon returned to camp, and then
the battery went in front of the bloody
18th. (Thus ends the first great and
bloody battle, fought by the I'd Vermont

NEAR FAIRFAX Court HOUSE,
Dec. 20, 1862.


DEAR FRIEND Il hasten to write you
a short letter this morning l have just
received your kind letter, mailed the 2l,
and was happy as usual to know of your
welfare. You mention some severe cold
weather you were having. 1t was the
time we went to Centerville. 1t was rath-
er cold here but we did not suffer much.
Last night we were ordered out in light
marching order, and told to fall in imme-
diately,-rumor said Seigel's supplies
were cut off. | had not been to supper
my coffee was nearly stepped, but the Cap
tain said fall in, and away went nay cof-
fee, and | was the first one in the ranks,
and expected to be the first one to skedad-
die. We started on quick time, but went
some of the way IN double quick. We
went to the Court House. and down the
road toward the Station about one half
mile; then was ordered back to the Court
House, and down the Alexandria road
a mile; was thrown into line Of battle be-
hind breast-works and riae-pits The
bloody 18th occ Ipiod the left side of the
road, and the 18th, the right, supported
by splendid brass battery of 6 guns.

FROM THE 18TH VT. REGIMENT.
CENTERvILLE, Dec. 81, 1862

CENIBhNlLLE, DeC. Il, lOOZ.
DEAR CHILDREN Il told you in my
last that the order to march was counter
manded, but the next morning the 18th
was ordered out on picket, with forty
rounds Of cartridges. and after a march
of 8 miles, over the frozen ground, with
a cold northwest wind whistling around
our ears, we arrived at Centcrville. We
are quartered in barracks built and occu-
pied by the rebbels last winter This is
the most slightly place | have seen yet.
We are in full view of Bull Run battle
field, Tboroughfare Gap and Rattle Snake
Mountains. Although nearly everything
is in ruins, / think it is splendid farm
ing country. The city isreduced to few
dwellings. There are hundreds of acres
of land here nearly covered with forts,
, rine-pits, ruined barracks, dead mules and
horses, ruined muskets, camp equipments,
&c. Such destruction of property is a
sad sight, to say nothing about the prec-
ious lives it has cost. Our regiment is
quartered here and send out two compa-
nies, on picket, each day.
Dec. %. This morning the Colonel
took about 40 men from the several COM
panies of the 18th regement, and took us
to Bull Run battle field; to the very spot
where our Vermont boys struggled hard
for victory pointing out to us the posi-
ton of the rebels, and also of our men,
more particularly the Vt. I'd, of which he
was Captain, and also where the rebels
waved the Union Flag, by which they

HARPER's FERRY, Va, Jan. 1868.
There is no town in the United States
which exhibits more deplorably the rava-
ges Of war than Harper's Ferry. More
than half the buildings are in ruins, and
those now inhabited are occupied by small
dealers and peddlers who follow troops
and SELL at exorbitant prices, tarts and
crOckcry pipes and poultry, shoes and
shirts, soap and sardines. The location
is one of peculiar beauty. The Potomac
receives the Shenandoah at this point (;

wild, winding valley, until it washes the
base of the promitCry on the sides and
summit Of which are scattered the houses

poor fellow that never had been bnried.
His left leg was smashed at the knee. He
lay in the edge of the bushes. He had
decayed so that his head had dropped

to the bones on his hands, feet and face.
He had on his coat, cartridge box and
straps. We know he was Union man

battle field is covered with bones of men
and horses, cannon balls and shells, bro

ments, too numerous to mention. We re-

our men rctreated II months ago, yes

Fiction. How many, many hearts have
been made desolate since this war begun.
DEC. 23 This is warm, pleasant
day, and companies E and H have taken
their stations on picket, on the banks Of
Cub Run. Although we are in the vicin-
ity of rebel scouts and guerilla parties,
we feel as safe as we did in Washington.
We shall probably go back to camp to-
morrow or next day. You thought it was

you are having fine sleighing, cold wealth

been rather to cold to camp out here and
the boys have most all got hard colds.
My station on picket was on Cub Run,
Just below the Stone Mills, where our
pickets and the rebel pickets once laid
down their arms, and crossed over the
stream and made each other friendly
visit; exchanging papers, money, &c, and
had jolly good time. Yesterday morn
ing was very fine. The robins and spar
rows were singing like spring 1t is very
fine weather for camp life. see by your
writing that you think we have hard times.

not expect to have feather beds to sleep
on, chicken pies, sweet cakes, dough nuts,
custard pies, butter, cheese, &c.,-Oh dear!

eatables. We have plenty of good pork,
and our soft bread is very nice. We have
beans two or three times a week and boil

MISS LAvINIA WARREN, THE NINA
TURE LADY.

The coming of this charming little
lady before the public without any pre-
vious announcement that there was such
fairy like being in existence, has taken
the community quite by surprise; and as
natural consequence, every one is de-
sirous of seeing her. Being smaller than
general Tom THUMB, by at least half a
head, and only two inches taller than
Commodore MUTT, she is by far greater
curiosity than either of them. With such
examples of humanity before us, we are
almost inclnd to believe in Liliput and
its diminutive race of inhabitants. Miss
Warren, it may not be generally known
is descendant of General Warren of
Revolutionary fame, and belongs to high.
ly respectable and wealthy family residing
in Middleboro', Massachusetts, She is
one of several children, all of whom, with
the exception of two, (the youngest and
herself,) are of usual size. The former
is sixteen years of age, and still smaller
than Lavinia, who is twenty-one years
old. The latter, now at Barnum's Muse
um, is quite pretty, well-educated, and
possessed of pleasing manners. She shows
by every movement, that she has been
reared in polite society. There is an air
of refinement and dignity of dcmeanor
about her which no fashionable damsel of
Fifth Avenue could hope or desire to ex-
GEL She plays on the piano with taste,
and sings in voice that is necessarily
weak; yet she uses it with much feeling
and judgement. In every respect, except
size, she is fully developed woman, and
has all the pretty and fascinating ways
with her which are to be found among the
most delightful of her sex. General Tom
Thumb is quite smitten with Lavinia, and
is as devoted and attentive to her as it is
possible for a lover to be. Between the
General and Commodore Mutt, however,
there is said to be quite a rivalry of afec-
tions, the latter also having an eye tow
ard the little fair one. Should either of
these young gentlemen's suits find favor
in the lady sight, may we be present at
the ceremony; that is all ! Miss War
ren will remain through this week only
at the Museum. She then goes to Boston,
en- route for Europe. We advise all our
readers who have as yet failed to see this
really beautiful and wonderful specimen
of humanity, TO avail themselves of the
opportunity now afforded.
P.S. Since writing the above we learn,
on good authority, that General Tom
Thumb has won Miss Warren's hand, and
is engaged to be married to her. The
lovers minds are made up about it they
only await the consent Of the lady's pa
rents--Home Journal.

LINES


ON the death of Mary l. Patch, of johnson, Who
died November Goth, 1862.
Mary, farewell! Thy journey here is ended.
And all thy sufferings-all thy pains are DER
Thy happy voice is with angels blended,
Chanting sweet notes of praise on Canans
shore.
Could we but catch one glimpse of Heaven,
And meet that glorious band of seraphs there
Reioicihs DER that form so lately given
To add new lusture and their bliss to share
Could we but see that spirit soaring
Along the sapphire walls where angels dwell
See in her hand the golden harp she IS bearing,
Tuned to the praise of Him ye love so WELL
Methnks afflicted friends the tears now stealing
Down your pale cheeks would quickly cease to
flow,
Did you but know the glories now revealing
To that dear object which you loved below.
Did we but know that we in Heaven should
greet her,
We would not keep her in this world of woe
But rather would we strive in Heaven to meet her
And smilingly bid adieu to all below
Yes gladly would we hail the day appointed,
When we of earth must take last farewell,
Could we with faith and hope approach undaun-
ted,
That happy place where Mary's gone to dwell.
