G1ori1cation Of Stage Drivers.

In the third place there is magic in
the calling Of . stage driver. Every
body knows, and aspires to know, the
stage driver ; everybody is known by,
and is proud to be known by, the stage
driver. The lite boys remember it a
month, if the stage driver speaks to them.
There is particular satisfaction to be
able to distinguish, among drivers, and
say it was Winkle, or it was Mason or it
was Mitchell. OF all the people on the
earth he is the one who rolls by in gild-
ed coach he is the one who sweeps it
high and dry over the world :; he is the
one whe rides through his immense estate
with the most lordly and consequential
air, and all the rest Of US seem to be but
poor tenants and gaping fools. 1t is
something to speak to stage driver !;
it is great thing to be able to joke
with him.
1t is the sign of great man to be
recognized by the stage driver. To be,
perchance, known by Que who knows
nobody is nothing to be known, to be
pointed out, to have your name whis-
pered in oystander's ear, by one who
knows everybody, affects you as it Om-
niscicnce were speaking about you. The
stage driver differs from steamboat
captain,in that the latter is not seen to be
SO Immediately connected with his craft
as the former. We meet the captain at
the breakfast table he is nobody he
is no more than we; we can eat as well
as he can. But who dare touch the
stage driver ?-who dare swing his whip:
How rapidly and securely he drives
down one hill and up the next-and with
fifteen passengers half ton Of baggage
Then how majestically he rounds too at
the door OF the tavern What delicate
pomp in the movement Of the four hand
some horses In what style the cloud Of
dust, that has served as an outrider all
the way, passes off when the coach stops!
How the vilagers-the blacksmith. the
shoemaker, the thoughtful politician, and
the boozy loafers that fill the stoop-griu
and stare, and make their criticisms !!
How be tlings the reins and the tired
horses to the staole boy, who presently
returns with a splendid relay. How he
accepts these from the boy with that sort
of air with which king might be sup
posed to take his crown from the hands
Of valet There are his gloves with
al /; he always wears gloves, as much as
Saratoga fine lady. and would no
sooner touch anything without gloves
than such lady would glass Of Con
gress water.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1864-08-19

emy's mortar shells burst among them
causing large sacrifice of life. The
enemy at the same time pressed the
aanks of our army with infantry, and
enfiladed them with artillery. At length
came the order to fall back but it was
not accomplished without an additional
and heavy loss in prisoners. Gems. Grif:
fin and Hartraupft narrowly escaped
Gen. Bartlett, less fortunate, is in the
enemy's hands.
Gen. Grant was at the front during
the entire fight, as was also Gen. Me de.
Lee was without doubt completely
out.man0uvrred, and but for the remark
able rapidity of his movements. and a
combination OF unfortunate circumstances
would have met with o severe reverse.
THE LEASE.
At the time correspondence left Pet.
ersburg only very general idea Of the
losses Of our troops sustained could be
formed, and published specifications re.
garding this particular are not wholly to
be relied upon. The Herald correspond.
ent says that the killed and wounded
number certainly not more than eighteen
hundred, and fully one thousand prisoners
have been taken. A number of wound.
ed fell into the enemy's hands. About
three hundred of the colored troops were
captured. What the enemy's loss is we
do not know but we have about four
hundred prisoners"
The Times correspondent says that the
losses on both sides were severe. The
wounded in the hospitals are more than
one thousand. Probably 1900 were
taken prisoners, and the killed would
swell the list materially. The negro
division alone lost SO officers.

A New STYLE OF REL1o1oS.-Sone
one whose head is usually ..level" has
written out the ideas of religion as fol.
ows. 1t wall 40 to read and think about:
We want religion that goes into the
family, and keeps the husband from be.
ng spite'ul when the dinner is late
keeps the wife from being spiteful when
the husband tracks the newly washed
floor with his muddy boots; and makes
the husband mindful of the scraper and
door mat amuses the children as we'll a.
instructs them wins as we'll as governs
them projects the honeymoon into the
harvest moon and makes the happy hours
like the eastern fig tree, bearing in its
bosom at once the beauty Of the tender
blossom and the glory of the ripcned
fruit. We want religion that not only
bears on the sinfulness Of sin, but on tho
rascality Of lying and stealing relig.
ion that banishes all small measures from
the counters, small baskets from the
stalls, pebbles from cotton bags. clay from
paper, sand from sugar, chicory from
coffee. beer-root from vinegar, alum from
bread, lard from butter. strych.
nine from wine, and water from milk.
cans. The religion that is TO advance
the world will not put all the big straw.
berries and peaches on top. and all tho
bad ones at the bottom. 1t will not Of.
fer more baskets of foreign wine than
the vineyard ever produced bottles. The
religion that is to sancify the world pays
its debts. 1t does not consider forty
cents returned for one hundred given,
according to Gospel, though it is accord
ing to law. 1t looks upon man who
has failed in trade, and who continues to
live in luxury, as a thief. 1t look upon
man who promises to pay, and fails to
pay on demand, with or without interest
as liar.

A Local Editors Convention

Upon this subject "Gris," of the Gin.
cinnati Times, makes the following time.
y and well.considered remarks, which
will be read with a deep and personal 10.
terest by all his brethren of the caDut
mortu1m craft
We observe a call for a convention of
local editors, to be held at Chicago fome.
time this summer. What the object Of
the convention is, or what subjects will be
brought before it, we do not kuow.-Wc
will venture to suggest the following sub.
jects for discussit
Il. Ihe best way to sharpen lead pen.
ellis.
z. The increasing and alarming search
ty Of invitations to smoke or take a drink.
caused by the heavy tax on tobacco and
liquors. These time.houored customs
threaten to cease entirely unless Go, ern.
ment lightens the tax on the above art.
icles. Memorialize Memorialixe.
3. The necessity for having establish.
ed forms for accidents Of various grades.
etc. These formes should be printed.
blanks being left in which to ill out
names, dates etc. This would greatly
facilitate the business of itemizine. and
afford uniformity to the reportorial pro.
fession which has heretofore been want.
ing.
4. Necessity for advanced rates in
''perquisites." Owing to toe increased
cost of living, with which salaries have
not kept pace, no puff, however brief or
obscure, should be inserted for less than.
ten dollars. The custom of being favor.
ably impressed by present of pair of
pants should be discontenanced hereafter,
Nothing short of a iull suit Of clothes
