However desirable to Democrats may ba

Can he change the result. or render it GER

the terms Of his letter that he caDpot get
elected; he might have added that he can
not get an electoral vote. The only State
in which we think he can possibly divide
the Republicans to an extent that would

Democrats, is Missouri, aud even that result
would be obtained there Just as well by mis-

On the whole, we do not think the Fremont

Republicans Or Democrats to be worth the
favor or disfavor Of either party. .,r.

Of the irrepressibles, his Lieutenant
and company will permit themselves to
be captured by a single Yankee. 1t
seems that Capt Levy's company was
to have deployed as skirmishers, and
to have formed the rear guard Of the
enemy; and by their capture gap was
made in their line. Company E was
soon after deployed and advanced with
out communication on either right or
left to the ground soon after contested
by the two armies, and returned to
camp with SO prisoners. Our regiment
captured in all go prisoners that morn
ing. In charge made by the skirmish

captured about 80 more. The boys
have done a great deal Of fighting du-
ring this campaign, and are yet as will

the first day we moved.
I,77 There has been no general engage
inent here yet but the two armies are
facing each other, a distance Of about
500 yards intervening between the
lines--awaiting, as we suppose, the
Operations of the TANKS. No one need
feel anxious about this army. Wher

AN Eastern paper gives the following
seasonsble and excellent rules for young
men commencing business;
The world estimates men by thier sue.
cess in life, and BY genera! consent, sue
cess isevident Of superiority.
Never, under any circumstances, as
.ume responsibility you eau avoid con-
sis.en,ly with your duty to yourself and
Others.
Base all your principle Of right; pre-
serve your integrity of character, and in
doing this never reckon OF the cost.
Remember that self-intereE is more
likely TO warp your judgment than all other
circumstances combined: therefore look
well to your duty, when interest is con-
cerned.
Never make money At the expense OF
your reputation.
BE neither lavish nor nigg,rdly; Of the
two avoid the latter. A mean man is uni
rersally dsspised, but public favor is a
stepping stone to preferent; therefore gen.
crou, feelings should be cultivated.
Say but little, think mnch and do moro
Let your expenses be such as to leave a
balance in your pocket Ready money is
. friend in need
Keep clear of the law; for, even if you
gain your case, you are generally a loser
Avoid borrowing and lending.
Wine drinking and smoking cigars are
bad habits; they impair tie mind and
pocket, and lead to waste OF time,
Never relate your mislortuues, aud nev
grieve over what you cannot prevent.
