WANTs.-There are three wants which new.
er can be satisfied that of the rich. who
want something more that of the sick, who
want something different; and that of the
traveller, who says, "Anywhere but here"
The Turkish cadi said to Layard, after the
fashion OF thy people thou hast wandered
from one place to another, until thou art han
Ply and content in none" Ny countrymen are
not less infatuated with the rocco toy of Ita-
ly. All Ame,ic seems on the point of en-
barking for Europe. But we shall not ALWAYS
traverse seas and lands with light purposes
and for pleasure, as we say. One day we
shall east out the passion for Europe, by the
passion for America. Culture will give gray
ity and domestic rest to those who now travel
only as not knowing how else to spend mon
ey. Already, who provoke pity like that ex-
cellent family party just arriving in their we'll
appointed carriage, as far from home and any
honest end as ever? Each nation has asked
successfully, 'SWhat are they here for?" until
at last the party are shamefaced, and antici-
pate the question at the gates of the town.
Genial manners are good, and power of &C
commodation to any circumstance, but the
high prize of life, the browning fortune of a
man, Is to be born with a bias to some pur-
suit, which finds him in employment and hap
piness-whether it be to make baskets, or
broadswords, or canals, or statutes, or songs.

An AngIO-RebeI'S Testimony,

The Richmond correspondent of the Lon
don Times, writing Nov. 18th, has the follow
ing on the progress of the war, and the COM
parative tenacity of purpose and confidence
displayed by the Southern rebels and the
loval masses of the North:
The Confederate States are rapidly ap-
preaching a stage in this war which will test
more than ever the stubborness and tenacity
of their temper and patience, and can only
be successfully encountered by national
spirit as systematic as it is resolute. Their
enemy, with as much pertinacity, and far more
sagacity than heretofore, hens in the edges
of the rebellion" on every side avoids the
frequent recurrence of pitched battles and
general engagements; pounces with hawk like
swoop upon isolated and inadequately sup
ported bodies of men; evi,aces possession of ad-
nairable secret Information, keeps the Confederate
Generals constantly on the rack and, harassed
by irruptions of cavalry; makes his superiority
of numbers, and still more his abundance of
supplies for horse and man, more and more
felt, and finally is investing the ports of Sc
cessna with Gordon of vessels so numerous
as for the first time in thirty months to make
access to the Confederate coast really danger
Gus and difficult On the other hand, in reb-
ally in circumstances which, to my thinking,
have from the beginning quadrupled the mag
| nitude Of the Confederate task.

Of dominion from sea to sea, and Ito quote Mr..
Everett's words) "from the icy Pole to the
flaming belt of the Equator" No parallel
faith has ever been exhibited by the Confed-
crate States in their future. Six great South
ern victories in the field and three drawn
battles, exhausting the nine principal coils
ions of the war, the entire absence of any
such panic routs as Bull Run or Chickamauga,
the tried inefficacy of the Federal blockade,
the unmolested predatory flight of Alabamas
and Flordas at sea, hare altogether failed to M

it rho may, there is something in this shadopy

faith and self.reliance Would that / could see

any corresponding quality of the Southern mind !
With such spirit on the part of the North,
mistaken by defeat and unappalled by diff

those who sympathize with the rebellion and
with its success may well begin to despair.

Is The Emperor NAPOLEON has made
another pacific speech. This is ominous.
There is mischief brewing, evidently. Did
he not declare at Bordeaux, that The En-
plre is at peace" just before the war of the
Crimea; and did he not go out of his way to
make similar declaration on the eve of the
Italian war?

THE FIRST TINE WE EVER KNEW 1T TO HAP
PEN.-For the past two or three days all the
space between North and South Points, in
Milwaukee Bay, has been frozen over solidly,
and part of the time the lake has been frozen
as far out as the eye could see. 1t is the
first time this has happened within the memo
ry of the oldest inhabitant. There was a time
seven or eight years ago, when the Bay was
partially frozen over, but the ice was then
broken in places. This time, however, it is
an unbroken field of ice.-Iauaukee Wiscou-

MILITARY ENDURANcE.-A writer in the
Washington Chronicle, says that the greatest
power of endurance of such hardships as be-
long to soldiers life belongs to men over
thirty five years Of age; that men from eigh-
teen to thirty are ten times on the sick list
where those older are only once that the
records of the hospitals around Washington
develop the fact that, aside from surgical
cases, the patients there under thirty five are
a sound man of forty, and of temperate hab
its, will endure more fatigue and hard treat
ment than one equally sound at the age of
twenty.

South-the New York riot was a supreme
warning to your country Your line of action
is clearly traced. So long as anything of sIa-
very remains there will be a cause Of antag-
| onism to the bosom of the Union. There
| must be no longer any question Of slavery
| 1t must be so ordered and settled as never to
| return. An amendment to the Constitution
| to this end must be proposed and adopted be-
| fore the return of the States.
| The condition of the free blacks must also
| be seured against the iniquities which they
| have so long endured. No more plans of col
| onization abroad, no more disabling laws, no
| more inequality. Those whom you have arm
ed, who fought so bravely before the walls of
| Port Hudson and Fort Wagner, can never be
other than citizens. Leave the problem of
| the races to its own solution-the most natu-
| raj solutions are always the best Under the
| rule of the common law, the free blacks of
| the South and of the North will find their le-
| ultimate place in your society, of which they
will become useful members, honorable and
| honored.
In thus ordering in definite manner all
| that relates to slavery and the colored race,
you will have done more than is generally
imagined FOR the lasting pacifcation of the
South. What remains for you to do On this
| point may be stated in three words-Mode-
| ration, Generosity, Liberty.
There can be no question, as you have often
| said, Of an occupation of the South, of reduc-
| ing the Southern States to the condition OF
| provinces, where the conqueror Will mann

promptly as possible of constitutional rights.

the Confederate army, having been resident
ct the South some years before the war
broke out, but who short time since man
aged to come North to "see his folks" hav-
ing delivered himself up to our piekets, told

"Little Mac" But now, it appears, thai
when they win victory against US, it is
only by the preliminary balloonins above

next! In this way, the war can come to nc
end so long as he changes hands with such
astonis hing facility.
