CARELESS BUSINESS MEN-On another side
of this subject it may be stated that it is not
possible for man to be careless in business
affairs, or unmindful of his business obliga.
tons, without being weak or rotten in his
personal character. Show me man who
never pays bis notes when they are due, and
who shuns the payment Of his bills when it
is possible, and does both these things as a
habit, and shall see man whose moral
character is, beyond all question, bad. We
have had lllustrious examples of this lack Of
business exactness. We have had great men
who were in the habit of borrowing money
without repsying it or apologizing for not
repaying it. We have had great men whose
business habits were simply scandalous-whc
never paid bill unless when urged and wor.
ried, and who expended for their personal
qualification every cent of money they could
lay their hands upon These delinquencies
have been apologized for as among the eccen
tricities of genius, or as that unmindfulness
of small affairs which naturally attends all
greatness of intellect and intellectual effort
but the world has been too easy with them,
altogether. | could name great men-and
the names of some of them arise before the
readers of this letter-who were atrociously
dishonest. I do not care how great these
men were, do not care how many amiable
and admirable traits they possessed. They
were dishonest and Enthusiastically men in
their business relations, and that simple fact
condemns them am ready to believe any
thing bad of man who habitully neglects tc
fulfill his business obligations. Such a man
is certainly rotten at heart. He is not to be
trusted with public responsibility, or rum
bottle, or a woman. ,

A STORY FOR MARRIED PEoPLR.-The New
York correspondent Of the Boston Gazette
writes that a fashionable couple up town.
married but not mated, as the story goes,
quarreled few mornings since and the irate
wife by advice of her parents, has sued for a
divorce. The case is only noteworthy from
the ridiculous cause of the quarrel. One
morning it seems that the husband washed
himself as usual, in the bowl used by both
but the lady for some reason, refused to use
it that morning, and rang the bell for another.
1t was brought, when the now indignant
husband flung 1t violently to the floor, break
ing it into pieces. The wife thereupon called
HIM hard names, when he locked the bed
room door, and insisted that she should use
the first bowl. She vowed that she wouldn't
if she went with dirty face for week" p
He swore that she should; and filling the
bowl, he seized her hands, and using sufficient
force, washed her face for her. He then I'M.

EprroR OF THE JOURNAL: Will you pub
lish the following letter, and let the ladies and
people of Muscatine and of Iowa see how
much cheaper sanitary goods are distributed
by the above commission than the "Iowa
Sanitary Commission" that was conceived
in sin and brought forth in iniquity at Des
Moines? They are now begging the legisla-
ture for $4,000; $4,000 of which is to be
used for salaries to officers and agents / The
United States Commission, as the letter vii
show, distributes 100000 worth at loss Of
only $4,000. "a word to the wise is suffi-
Gent"
New YORK, Feb. 4.
To the Editor Of the Evening Post:
have lately received letter from an inhu
entail gentleman in neighboring city upon
the subject of the expediency of contributing
to the United States Sanitary Commission
rather than to local associations for similar
objects. Objections were advanced against
the United States Commission that its affairs
were extensively conducted; the Presiden,
Gas the writer understood) receiving large
salary, ard forty to Fifty thousand dollars pei
month being paid out in cash for salaries
rents, freights. &C., of which, salaries take
about three fourths, or thirty thousand dol
lars. I..r
Feeling that this is serious charge agains
the Commission, and that, whether true OF
not, widespread belief or suspicion of it:
correctness must do it great injury, l have
taken mains to ascertain the facts in this par
ticular, and now request to make them public
through your paper
Every executive officer of the Commission
gives his services gratuitously; not one re-
ceives dollar compensation, except the
western secretary, whose salary is $4,000 pei
annum. There arc about two hundred paie
employees, who receive an average amount o.
less than forty-five dollars per month. The
whole expenses attending the distribution O.
articles amount to little over two per cent
That is to say: One hundred thousand dol
lars worth Of supplies are delivered to hos
pitfalls and to the army at different posts, fol
something less than two thousand five hun
dred dollars expenses.
viii you, in justice to this noble institu
ton, and for the benefit, direct and indirect
of our brave soldiers, who are sustained
cured and saved by its humane operations
give this prominent place in to-day.

Failure of the Cepperhead PoIiti.
cnI Chm 1.ch

~ From the Cincinnati Gazette, Feb. 9. ~ -a-
The New Church movement, in which DIR.
Edison B. Odds, and few equally bigoted
partizans has embarked, has proved failure.
The State Convention called at Columbus, to
give impetus to the enterprise, appears to
have been so inconsiderably attended that
the local papers were not aware of its sitting
till it had transacted its business and adjourn
ed. Indeed, it is not clearly asce,t tanned that
there was any convention. 1t is only known
that call was issued, the day fixed, and the
place Of session selected. The self.appointcd
delegates either came to the conclusion that
the condition of the churches is not SO bad as
represented, or they manifested moral
apathy in the highest degree reprehensible.
The failure Of the movement is probably at
! tributable to the latter cause. There is not
one Of the projectors OF this enterprise, 50 far
as they are known to the public. who is emf
nent for spiritual attainments other than
those derived from the bottle. The dubious
nose Of the windy Lancastrian would never
be mistaken for church directory, and it is
very doubtful whether his affinitive brethren
give personal evidence of greater progress
toward the perfection of the saints.
For mere ot-house politicians to undertake
the establishment of church for their own
benefit, because the already established
churches NEEDLE too much with politics, is so
patent an a6surdity that sensible men, no
matter what their political associations and
opinions, are not likely to commit themselves
to it. If the churches were pro-slavery, and
made the Democratic party the sheet anchor
of their hopes here and hereafter, Dr. Odds
and his brethren would be the last men in
the community to dsclaim against politics in
the pulpit. Their tenderness toward Bishop
Hopkins. who has mixed in politics as much
as any other clerical parsonage in the coun-
try, shows where the shoe pinches. What
they want is a pulpit from which to hurl &C.
clesiastical thunder at the heads of the Adolf
tionists, and it is for the purpose Of manufac-
turing political religion that will run par
allel to their secular opinions that these
worthless have set about the organization of a
reformed church; work in which they have
made even poorer progress than in attempting
to make Governor of what Senator Sherman
styled convicted traitor'

~ Some of the miners at Mauch Chunk,
Pennsylvania, stirred up by the Copperhead
politicians, attempted to resist the draft few
months since, and murdered an enrolling Off
Ger. A military commission has been trying
the culprits, one ofthe witnesses before which,
asserted that the Knights of the Golden Cir
Gle had been organized among the miners,
and that Gen. Mcdowell was reported as one
Of the chleftains Of the order. Gen. Mellow

charge to write card of denial to the New

BROKEN AND DAMAGED FRUIT TREEs.-The
late unprecedented hard freezing rain has
more or less injured the fruit ornamental
and forest trees in this vicinity. W. W.
Beebe, writing to the Dubuque Times, gives
the following advice in regard to repairing the
damages: 90
"With as little delay as the weather and
other circumstances may make necessary, cut
off with sharp knife or a saw, all the parts
or branches that are broken or split, cutting
entirely below the splintered part. Then
thoroughly cover all such wounds with a lib
eral application of a compost made of equal
parts of common soil and COW manure, wrap
ping the whole with well fastened cloths or
other suitable material. For covering small
wounds on upper limbs of inconvenient ac-
cess use wax made by melting one part of
tallow with four or five parts of rosin, or
gum shelac. For damage near the surface of
the ground, good banking up around the
trunk with mellow earth will exclude the
drying air, .and be found a sufficient protec
ton Promptness in this matter will save
much loss.''
