1t is mooted question whether civilization
does not lose as much as it gains. This is sug-
gested by Massachusetts now III 1854 doing
what Massachusetts condemned only . few
years back-trading in African labor; that
State, with the bulk Of the other New England
States, is trading for African substitutes Ia tho
Carolinas, Florida, ETC., to take the place Of itS
own citizens who may be drafted. It's known
to your readers that Massachusetts, would not
agree to the recent act of Congress abolishiug
the $500 Communication unless Massachusetts,
was permitted to 20 South to buy the negroes
to fill up the Massachusetts army qu0tas.-
When the South was opened TO Massachusetts
to buy Southern negroes, then, and then only,
Massachusetts, members voted to do away with
the $500 commutation. Congress yielded-
Massachusetts, was obeyed. Massachusetts can
now raise Massachusetts soldiers in apy of the
rebel States, except Louisiana, Arkansas and
Tennessee.

MANAGING A HUSBAND" How do you
manage your husband, Mrs. Croaker p
Such job as have of it with Smith"
Easiest thing in the world, my dear !;
give him twitch backward when you
want him to 60 forward. For instance,
you see, to-day had loaf of cake to
make.
"Well, do you suppose because my
body is in the pastry room, my soul need
be there too? Not bit Of it. l am
thinking of all sorts of celestial things all
the while.
"Now, Croaker has way Of tagging
round at my heels, and bringing me plump
down in the midst of my aerial flights, by
asking me the price of sugar am using.
"Well, you see, it drives me frantic;
and when | woke up this morning, and
saw this furious storm, knew had him
on my hands for the day, unless man.
aged right; SC told him that hoped he
wouldn't 60 out to catch his death this
weather; that if he was not capable Of
taking care Of himself, should do it for
him; that it was very lonesome rainy
days, ,and that I wanted him to stay home
and talk With me; at at any rate he
mustn't 60 out, and | hid his umbrella
and India-rubbcrs. Well, of course he
was right up Gust as l expected y and in
less than ten minutes was streaking down
the street at the rate of ten miles an hour.
"You see there's nothing like under
standing human nature; no woman should
be married till she is thoroughly posted
up in this branch of education. ~

WAR DEPARTMENT

w Az DEFARIMENT,
WASHINGTON, May 81, 1861 p. m.
To MAJOR General Die:
We have dispatches from Gen. Grant down
to yesterday (Monday) P. IN.
There seemed, the dispatch says, to be
some prospect of Lees making a stand north
Of the Chickahominy. His forces were on
the Mechanicsville Road, south of Totopato-
my creek, between that stream and Halves
shop, bis right resting on Shady Grove
Dispositions for an attack were being made
by Gen Grant.
Wilson's cavalry had been ordered to de-
stroy the railroad bridges over the Little
river and South Anna, and break up both
roads from those rivers to two miles south
west of Haws' shop, where the head of our
army was established.
There is yet no Geographic line of COM
munication with Washington.
The other dispatch above referred to is da-
ted at O'Clock this Tuesday, morning, and
states that in Hancocks attack last night Col.
Brooks drove the enemy out of a strongly
intrenched skirmish line and holds it. The
losses are not reported.
