A Big Thing for Chicago.

A late number of the Chicago Jour-
nal contains the following:
Every bushel of oats, every barrel Of
salt, pork and beef, and nearly all the
bread consumed by the army of the Cum
berland, goes from Chicago. One hun
dred and sixty head of cattle, and an
average Of one thousand horses, are for.
warded every week from Chicago; and
now the rolling stock of the railroads is
severely taxed in forwarding lumber from
this city.
Every bit of lumber used in bridge
building, barrack building, and con
structing military roads in the Depart
ment Of the Cumberland, goes from
Chicago. Yesterday Capt. Potter con
cluded contracts for ten million feet OF
lumber of various descriptions To
transport this to Chattanooga, and thai
too, without disturbing the daily cur
rent of bread, beef, pork: oats, horses
ETC., that is sweeping thither, requires
more than ordinary railroad facilities
Captain Potter seized a locomotive, a
few days ago. and this he sends from one
depot to another making up trains and
pressing into the service of the Govern
ment such cars as are needed. Yester-
day he sent itup North, and levied upon
sixty cars belonging to the Racine and
Mississippi railroad, which were brought
to this city Every railroad hereabouts
has had or will have similar visitations.
The army of the Cumberland must be
supplied at any rate. The patriot he
roes are hungry and the food must be
forthcoming"

Eight to Sixteen.

Lord SALISBURY recently stated in a
public meeting in London, that from per-
sonal observation he had ascertained
that Of the adult male criminals Of that
city, nearly all had fallen into course
of crime between the ages of eight and
sixteen years; and that if a young man
lived an honest life up to the age of
twenty there were forty nine chancesin
favor, and only one against him, as to an
honorable life thereafter.
This is fact of startling import to fa-
theirs and mothers, and shows a fearful
responsibility. Certainly parent should
secure and retain and exercise absolute
control over the child until sixteen. 1t
cannot be difficult matter to do this,
except in very rare cases and if that
control is not wisely and efficiently exer-
cised it must be the parents fault; it is
owing to parental neglect or rcmissness.
Hence the real source ofninety-eight per
cent of the crime of such country as
England or the United States lies at the
door of the parents. It is fearful re-
fection. We throw it before the minds
of fathers and mothers, and leave it there
to be thought of in wisdom.
The seeds of vice, and ofbodily disease
too, are nearly in every case sown be-
tween sundown and bedtime, in absence
from the family circle in the supply Of
spending money never earned by the
spender, opening the doors ofconfection-
aries and soda fountains, beer, tobacco
and wine shops, Of the circus, the negro
minstrel and the dance; then follows the
Sunday excursion, the Sunday drive,
with the easy transition to the company
of those whose ways lead down to the
gates Of social, physical and moral ruin.
From eight to sixteen! In these few
years are the destinies Of children fixed
in forty-nine cases out Of fifty fixed by
the parents !! Let every father and mo-
ther solemnly vow: by Gods help,
will fix the destiny of my darlings for
good by making home more attractive
than the street"

Launch and Description Of the Die
tator.

This splendid specimen of naval archi-
lecture was successfully launched from the
yard of her builder on North river, n Y,
on the 9th ult
The keel of the Dictator was laid one year
ago last September. She is $50 feet long.
81 feet breadth Of beam; % feet depth of
hold. The armor of the vessel composeds
as follows Six one-inch plates outside,
backed by four and one-half inch wrought
iron bars running lengthwise along the YES
sci, making ten and one-half inches of solid
oak. The turret is built in three courses,
the outside course being composed of seven
one inch plates, inside course by four one
inch plates, and middle course by segment
bars five inches in thickness. This arrange
ment of the turret armor dispenses with
through bolts. The turret will carry two
of Erickson's new guns. These are thir-
teen inch bore, and forged, carrying three
hundred and four pound shot. The charge
of powder will be one hundred pounds,
which will make these weapons the most
powerfully destructive ones ever known.
Six boilers are placed in the vessel, making
the engines five thousand horse power
The motive horse power is then furnished
by two engines, calculated to give the ves-
sci speed of eighteen knots an hour.
Besides the motive engines there are ten
others, used for working turret, ventilation,
etc.
The vessels ram extends fifteen feet over
the hull, composed of solid iron and wood,
built in the strongest manner and sharp as
chisel at the end 1t will now be about
three months before the Dictator is ready
for service. Commodore John Rogers will
command. The vessel in her entire pro-
portions is perfect success, fully coming
up to the expectations of her constructors,
and With ten and half inch iron armor,
and her powerful armament, will prove her
right.

COFFEE AND TEA CULTURE IN CALL
FoRNIA.-The cultivation of coffee and
tea promises to become an important
business in California. One nursery at
Sacramento have FIVE thousand coffee
plants on trial. and it is believed that
there will be no difficulty in bringing up
the plant to standard of hardness to
weather the mild winter of that climate.
Near the Mission Dolores several thou
sand tea-plants have been raised during
the last year. The tea-plant is grown in
China and japan very extensively in la.-
itudes corresponding to all California,
and the San Francisco journals think
there can be little doubt that it will be
cultivated hereafter, for household pur-
poses at least, on every farm in that state.

The Angel of the Lord.

In the ieep watches of the night,
When slumber closes every eye,
I wake, and seek with yearning sight,
The encamping angel drawing nigh
With bending head and folded wing
/ cannot see that loye-lit face
So dim, so shadowy thing
1t melts into the nights embrace.
Yet comes DER me celestial calm,
A blest repose, peaceful prayer,
! hear faint music of a psalm,
A holy lull is in the air,
I trust the L ,rd; fold my hands
In suppliance upon my breast,
And leave to him the dropping sands
That waste my pulse, and sweetly rest.
And when death-shadows DER me steal,
Wilt thou draw nearer, holy guest,
The glory of thy form reveal,
And bear me upward to the blest.

A V1crrMIzED PARENr--A good joke
was perpetrated by lady at Jamaica,
Long Island, a few days ago, which is
too good to keep. One Of the citizens
of that place went to answer a ring Of
the door bell at the request Of his wife,
where he found basket in which was a
beautiful child about FIVE months DID,
The gentleman carried it into the house,
where one of the lady visitors took up
the baby, and found a note pinned to its
dress, which charged the gentleman with
being it's father and implored him to sup
port it. A rich scene ensued between
the injured wife and the indignant hus-
band, the latter denying all knowledge
of the little one. The friends interfered,
and at last the wife was induced to for
give her husband, though he stuck to it
that he had always been a faithful hus-
band. Finally the lady very roguishly
told him he did not know his own child
for it was their mutual offspring which
had just been taken from the cradle for
the purpose of playing the joke.

Language of the American Flag.

The following explanation of the col
ors and symbolic meaning of the ".Stars
and Stripes" was written by member
of the Constitutional Congress, to whom,
with others, was committed the duty of
selecting flag for the infant Confed-
eracy:
The stars Of the now flag represent
the new constellation of States rising in
the West. The idea was taken from
the constellation Lyra, W hich, in the
hands of Orpheus, signifies harmony.
The blue in the field was taken from
the edges of the Covenanters' banner in
Scotland, significant of the league con.
vent of the United Colonies against op-
preston, involving the virtue of vigi-
lance, perseverance and justice. The
stars were in a circle, symbolizing the
perpetuity Of the Union; the ring like
the circling serpent of the Egyptians,
signifying eternity. The thirteen stripes
showed, with the stars, the number of
United Colonies, and denoted the sub
ordination of the States Of the Union,
as we'll as equality among themselves.
The whole was the blending of the va
rious flags previous to the Union flag,
viz The red flag of the armies, and
the white of floating batteries. The
red color, which, in the Roman day, was
the signal of defiance, denotes daring,
and the blue fidelity, and the white
purity.

Woman's Love for the cold Flag

A letter from Chattanooga, after
speaking of the erection Of lofty flag
staff on the peak of Lookout Mountain,
from which now floats the Old Flag,
says
I must tell you an affecting little scene
that | witnessed when we first crossed
Lookout, about the 9th of September.
We were marching along at "route STEP
with our colors furled in their black
cases, when We perceived about dozen
of the fair sex in one of those everlast-
ing southern porticos, watching US as
we passed. We had got nearly by
when one of the young ladies stepped
out to the front, and said :--"Boys,
ne aoant TO see the old fag" Oh,
such shout as went up; banners soon
unfurled, music struck up, the men took
step, hats without number went into the
air, and the hurrah lasted for a good
hour, and the women al cried.

The CoPPERHEAD NOMINEE FOR SHER-
IrF.-The friends of J. C. Clark, the Secession
candidate for Sheriff, are very sanguine Of
that gentleman's success. Because of his
personal popularity, they say he will receive
the votes of many loyal men but in this we
think they are mistaken. 1t is our opinion
that no loyal man tciH cote for Clark. II
there is single one in the county who seri-
ously contemplates doing so, we ask him to
procure and peruse copy Of that celebrated
Democratic address, to which Clark's name
is appended, third on the list; which is an
evidence that there are only two worse cop
perheads than he in the Territory. But we
very much doubt whether there is even one
worse !; for if half the reports in circulation
are true, Clark is about as bad as Copper
heads generally get to be. 1t is said that he
went so far, in 1868, as to discharge from his
employ a man who declined to work on the
4th of July and that last July he compelled
his men to work on Sunday when they were
not in the habit Of doing so, to make up the
loss Of time, so that they might have an op-
portunity Of celebrating the 4th. A man who
will not allow his workmen that day is, in
deed, much better adapted to carrying rebel
musket in Dixie, than discharging the duties
of Sheriff in the loyal county Of Storey.
Clark's support among the working men will
not be as large as he and his friends antic-
ipate. Some men formerly employed by him
are working very theoretically for his defeat,
because they were discharged BY him for e1-
ercising the night to choose their own board
ing-house. II these reports are true, Clark
is not the working mans friend BY any
means.-Cnion-

MAGMA CHARrA. Our Constitutional
Democrats are fond Of declaiming concern.
ing "the great and exalted principles Of hu-
man freedom, established and proclaimed by
Magma Charta, which the people Of England
after wading through seas Of blood, compelled
King John, in 1915, on the celebrated fields
of Runnymede, BY force of arms to yield to
them" etc., etc. Now, anybody that has
read an ordinary school history Of England
with some care, knows that it was not the
people of England that made King John sign
Magma Charta, but the. Norman barons; that
it was to secure the feudal rights and priv
ileges Of the barons, and not the liberties Of
the people; that there had been no war in
England in which the people took any part
since the battle Of Hastings; that Magma
Charta contains only one line that refers to
the people Of England, and that was the line
that secured TO the riilisns their agricultural
implements, and that as the riLlieRs were the
slaves and property OF these very barons,
this one line was inserted more for the inter-
est of the barons than Of the people that
not one of these barons was an Englishman,
and not one of them could speak English I:
and that their chief reason for making King
John sign Magma ChGrta was, that they
might have the privilege of beating and rob-
bing their Saxon slaves, just as Southern
nligarch claims the right to wollop his own
niQ9ers.

Commenting upon the platform adopted at
the Traitors Den at Chicago, on Tuesday,
the Sacramento Union Of yesterday morning
says:
The adoption Of the "peace" platform by
the Chicago Convention gives obvious adyan-
taees to the Union party. It abolishes that
political contradiction, "War Democrat"
There is no longer any pretense Of calling
for ga more vigorous prosecution of the
war" The defense of the Union and the
suppression Of the rebellion-the achieve
ments Of our glorious army and navy-the
popularity Of successful Generals-the en-
thusiasm of victory-the vindication Of Ma
tional honor and dignity-these are the ex-
elusive property of the patriotic party, while
the opposition, declaring against the contest
and in favor of immediate peace, stake every
thing upon the success Of the rebellion and
the consequent defeat Of the Government
Now let any intelligent person survey the
present situation in the South, observe the
straits to which the rebels are reduced, and
watch the replenishing Of the Union ranks
with a fresh host Of volunteers, while the
enemy have their last man in the field with
out being able to hold their positions Of most
vital importance, and say what chance there
is that the party Of the rebellion will draw
strength and cheer from the defeat OF the
Government in this campaign. The bulletins
Of victory for the good cause and the walls Of
the enemy over their desperate fortunes
reached Chicago about the time it became
certain that Vallandigham would have his
way or split the party. The feeble struggle
Of the conservative war men come too late.
Immediate peace was answered by imme-
date victory. And if the men who love or
der, liberty and Union will 60 to work and
work with an enthusiasm worthy Of the
cause, while Grant and Sherman are busy in
the field during the next two months, the
platform of the Chicago Convention will
simply be record Of McClellan's shame and
the vanity of Copperhead hopes.

Copperhead Cnfechism.

The AkG of Thursday sums up the Chi
cago absurdity of nominating an avowed
WAR man upon a PEACE platform, in the
following amusing Catechism:
Q.-who is your candidate for the Presi-
dencys
A.-George B. Mcclellan.
Q.-Why do you support him
A.-Because he nearly annihilated Lees
army in front of Richmond in the summer Of
1852; re-orgarized the army after Pope's
disastrous campaign, and thrashed the rebels
at South Mountain and Antietam.
Q.-Is he for the division Of the country,
and "peace at any price ?"
A.-No, sir. His West Point Grafton is
conclusive on that point.
Q.-You will have to change your tune,
then, and shout for America one and indi-
visible:
A.-By no means. The platform, though
it is made up of roundabout phrases, is re-
ally for peace. We have it so fxed that
everybody is bound to be suited war man
and peace platform. You pay your money,
and you take your choice.
Q.-Do you expect such political thimole-
rigging to wins
-Copperhead in great mental confu-
sion.

THE late diminishing near Fort Stevens
has developed some new kind Of ammunition
used BY the rebels. Among the missiles
picked up is conical musket ball Of lead in
three divisions. Another is brass chain
shot, five inches in length, with conical
brass ball, three fturths of an inch in length
ut each end. The chain part is three and a
half inches in length, formed Of two stout
brass wires twisted together, and permanent
ly riyeted to the ball at each end. This is
evidently intended as flagstaff bal, to be
fred from the rife to cut the staff. Il is a
fearful device. II fred at the neck Of a
soldier it would most likely decapitate him,
or if wounded, poison him, and if it struck an
arm or leg it would strip off the flesh. The
wound would be certain death. But the
third missile exhibits the fact that Johnny
Reb /" was getting short of ammunition, or
he desired 10 save the contents Of his car
tridge-box by using the parts Of some lsdy's
piano he had demolished. 1t is tuning
screw. and was found imbedded in tree
evidently tired from a rife.
