The Richmond Enquirer of the 7th instant feels very downcast over the victories of oul armies, particularly in East Tennessee, and strongly censures Vice. President Stephens fol his criticism of their laws. It also gives the particulars of very destructive fire at Will mington, the loss by which is estimated at $4 , S00.0O0, of which $9O0,000 was Government property. Considerable dissatisfaction is ex- pressed at the depreciation of their i've dolla, notes and the scarcity of the new issue. The markets are active. but the prices demanded for all goods are fearfully exorbitant.
 A rebel dispatch in the Petersburg Reg;ste, of the l2th inst. says that General Averill had burned the bridge on the Virginia and East Tennessee railroad, at New river, and destroy ed the rebel depot, with all it's supplies, al Dublin Station; and further, that the Central railroad is destroyed by the Union troops al Beaver Dam, in Hanover county.
 We understand that Paymaster Horace Tal colt, of the United States Army, died recently in Kentucky. He was formerly from Glasten bury, this State, and was man very much re- spected.
 The publishers of western newspapers late ly held Convention at Cincinnati. They adopted higher scale of prices for advertising and decided that they would employ any tele graph line which would do the work needed cheapest and best. Resolutions were adopted favoring the introduction of machinery fol making paper from wood or anything else which would take the place of resisting the demands made by combinations of printers and recommending the employment of female competitors whenever convenient. ;.

AN EXCITING SCENE AT NIAGARA FALLS The Niagara Falls Gazette has the following account of an extraordinary ice jam in the Niagara river few days since, and the mar row escape of several persons:
 A change from the prevailing easterly winds to the opposite quarter brought down immense quantities of the ice from the lake last Wednesday night. For the first time, we believe, in the recollection of the oldest in' habitant,' the ice formed complete dam across the rapids between the bridge and the upper end of Goat Island. With the excep tion of few rods in width near the main shore, the rocks below the ice dam were bare. It was safe walking where usually flows an i'm petuous flood. And yet it was not quite SC safe, as was proved Thursday morning, when several young men wandered over the barrer rocks, and visited a boat that had been lodged there for several weeks. While enjoying { walk, which we of this generation may neve again hear of, the ice gave way and the vas volume of water, probably from five to tel feet deep, came rushing through. Tho dau soon disappeared, and the boat that had beel fixed against the ordinary torrent was swep away and over the cataract. Of course ther was hurrying toward the Island shore an the paper mill pier. Some escaped with lii tie wetting, while others barely escaped wit their lives. A young man named Barlow wa obliged to leap from one to another of tn floating cakes of ice, and fully appreciatin the necessity of making land before being car ried too near the cataract, lost no time in leap ing from the last cake, and swimming severs rods, to shore. Those who witnessed the scene describe it as considerably exciting"

LoNEsuM.-My dear boy. did you ever go out at night and lean on the fence for hours in spring time, when the frogs waz singing in the mashy ground, and the spotted night hawks waz glancing in the air, and the bats waz playing tag, and gaze up into the heavens at the grate around the moon, and the winkng stars, and sig gh and want sumthin', and have yure ize filled with the jucs of your hart, and not think of ennything all the time, and could n't tell wat ails yu? Did you ever steal slyly out in a big woods jist az the sun fell behind the hill, and set down agin tree, and dream ov nothing till the twilight ghosts begin to hur- ry past yu, and the warm air begins tu thicken with the first dark of the mite. and the owl ava oph in the distanze began tu kall out the toads, and the slippery snakes, and still set there till tears came yu thinking9 Did yu ever draw yure cheer up before the old harthstone az the brands began tu grow white with ashes, and the krikets had grown tired ov their songs an gone into their holes, and look stiddy at the dieing fire, waiting for yure thoughts tn come back from the weary distanze and put yu in bed?

"THERE's A MAN IN IT."-The latest little story of the President is as follows:
 In reply to question in regard to the pre-. sent military prospect, Mir. Lincoln, with that peculiar smile which he always puts on when about to tell good story, said: 1Ws!l, cir. your question reminds me of little anecdots about the automaton chess-player. which many years ago astonished the world by it's skill in that game. After while the automaton was challenged by celebrated player. who, to his great chargin, was beaten twice by the machine. At the end of the second game, the player, significantly pointing his finger at the automa- ton, exclaimed in very decided tone, '1heres q man n itr And this, sir, is just the secret of our present success" ..s....

WoMANs WORK ENLARGED BY THE WAR The social condition of woman is being inAuen- ced by our civil war, to larger extent than is generally supposed. Silently and impercepti. bly, and also rapidly and surely, revolution is being effected which seems destined to accou. plsh the work of years ia a few months, and produce an important and lasting change in all the relations of society. The withdrawal dur. ing the last three years of million and half of men from industrial pursuits. has produced deficiency in the labor market which for some time past has been gradually supplied by fs. males. By this meansnew channels of business and industry have been opened to them, which have been hitherto closed. The change is also hastened by the various trades, combinations and increase of wages, which make it the inter- est of employers to seek other sources tosup- ply the demand for laborers.-M ?. SUn..

OLD THINGs.-Give me the old songs, those exquisite bursts of melody which thrilled the lyres of the inspired poets and mihstrels of long ago. Every note has borne on the air a tale ol joy and rapture-of sorrow and sadness They tell of days gone by, and time hath given them voice which speaks thus of those who once breathed these melodies-of what they no,c are, and what sce soon shaU6e. My, heart loves those melodies; may they be mine to hear till life shall end, and as "launch my boat' upon the Sea of eternity, may their echoes be waited to my ear, to cheer me on my pas, sage from the scenes of earth and earthland!
 Give me the old paths, where we have wan dered and culled the flowers of love and friend ship, in the days of "Auld Lang Syne :" saceet- CT, far, the dells whose echoes have answered to our voices whose turf is not stranger to our footsteps, and whose hills have in child hoods days reflected back our forms, and those of our merry play-fellows, from whom we have parted, and meet no more in the old nocks we loved so we'll.
 Give me the old house, upon whose stairs we seem to hea- light footsteps, and under whose porch merry laugh seems to mingle with the winds that whistle through old trees. beneath whose branches lie the graves of those who once trod the halls, and made the cham be.s ring with glee. And 0 above all, give me the old friends-hearts bound to mine in life's sunshiny hours, and link so strong that all the storms of earth might not break it asunder,-spirits congenial, whose hearts through life have throbbed in unison with our own o, when death shall still this heart, l would not ask for aught more sacred to halIow my dust, than the tear of an old friend May my funeral dirge be chanted by the old friends I loved so fondly, who have not yet passed away to the spirit bright home!

THE PAY OF THE OPERA SINGERS IN NEW YORK The New York correspondent of the Boston Post says:
 Opera-goers generally, and Mrs. Shoddy in particular, have learned with astonishment that the season announced to commence on Mon. day must be deferred, because, forsooth, the singers have "struck" for higher salaries. It does not yet appear which of the pretty, pout- ing pets is prima donna of the new cast; but I happen to know that some of the Nightin- gales have no cause to complain of their pres ent pay. Take, for example Medori, whose salary is 2,50O per month in gold-equal to almost S4,50O in greenbacks, or over $5O0Oo a year Then there is Mazzoini, who, (with his 0ye, Ortolini, who sings about once month"; gets a monthly stipend of $2,70o, or at'the rate of $32, 400 per annum. Bellini. it is said, has salary of 5000 per month. The two last named are paid in greenbacks, their contracts not having stipulated for payment in gold, as does Medoris.
 The second son of Jef. Davis fell from portico month ago aad was killed.

GRANDMA's kfuEE-TnLIlNG.-.NCW what mischief 2" said grandma, smiling. as ske su- tered the room and fouud the children huddled together by the book case, evidently tying Co cover up what they were about.
 "Lizzis's telling fortunes r said little hlaek. eyed Nell, looking up brightly.
 "Ah that's it, is it 2" said grandma. taking out the big knitting-pegs and . huge soft ball of crimson wool, which seemed to grow fast under her fingers, into warm ray ippst for some of the little folks. "Well, csme and Mt around the fire, and let grandma tell fortunes for you. She's master hand ct it.''
 "Why, grandma" said the children, eeming forward, i've were afraid you would think fl was not right"
 "Well, do not approve of common sOasne- telling, but my kind will do no harm. Il does not require tea-cup, nor do need to loek in- to your hands. Still. saw the direction in print once: To begin with Liszis: Ifa little girl with blue eyes, auburn hair, . quick mind and nimbls little feet and fingers, viii use AeP eyes aad mind we'll in getting good sdaeasion and employ her feet and fingers in useful work. such as helping mother about the house, end taking plenty of exercise out of doors with little brothers and sisters if she kssps her rosy lips from ever pouting. and strives to love oho oOCy Noo oVeiy usAts ou0 Wln UO V0fy ukoN to have long, healthful life, to make great many people happy by it, to bs goed.lscking in everybody's eyes, and beloved and respected every where as sensible, excellent woman. Now could anybody make out better fortune than that for my little grand daughtsrf Ev- cry word of it is true, too; while most fortune. telling is only falsehoods put together.
 "Now. Georgie, if @ boy with black hair and eyes will learn to master his temper we'll. 80 that ever so great . provoeatien cannot make him angry, he will gain greater vicso.

If he will study his books hard, and learn e be very accommodating at home when he is asked to do anything, everybody will look on him as sensible boy, and love him for his obliging ways It is the polite, civil people who may make their way best in the world. Try, and see if you do not find it %.
 "Now. if little black eyed four year old like Nelly here, will run to grandms's room and bring me the black silk work.bss which hangs on the chair-back should not wonder if she, or her grandmother. could And spoueh almonds and strawberry candy in it to treat all this little company"
 Very merry were the children over Rrand. mas fortune-telling, and little Nellie insisted that hers was the best of all.
 It had this pecnliarity, that it applied fast e we'll to children whose hair and eyes wseo of any other color. So you caa apply it, dear children if you will, and know that you will find it come true.

RATHER TINA ludicrous incident occur- red last winter at "Woodlawn," on the Bleom- ingade road. Jones hotel at that plac is or namented with hostler whose fun is fearless as his face is ugly. One day in January, while twenty or thirty fast gentlemen were standing on the front balcony of the hotel, an individual rode up the path on the thinnest horse mortal eyes ever looked upon. Leaping from his phantom steed, the equestrian said, turning to the hostler :-
 Here, John, give my horse some watsr.'
 Sir,' said John, with look of astonish- ment.
 Give my horse some water r thundsrsd the stranger.
 Your horser calculated John, stiIl more surprised. ..- -.
 Yes, you fool, my horser said the stranger looking savagely at him, and commsnced drawing the lash of his whip through his hand. John walked toward him as though he would demand an explanation. and had taken about six steps when he suddenly stopped like one surprised beyond expression.
 Bless my soul' said he, I ask your pardon; but the horse stood or 8 line with that ere hitching post, and l didn't see him.
 The owner of the spectral beast tried to frown, but roar f.om the balcony, made him change his mind. ........

THE CALIFORNIA WINE INrERRsr.-Cslifor- mia is to be @ great wins-producinx regioa. Her wine-culture, now growing rapidly into . leading agricultural interest, dates only from the year 1854, but these ten years have pro- duced remarkable results, for her wine growers send into the market excellent hooks, cham tpagnes and ports, and the quality of the red and white wines already rivals that of the Eu- ropean varieties.
 The history of the vineyard enterprises in California is brief: In 1854 Kohler & Froh- ling, assisted by Charles Stern, commenced bu. siness in Los Angeles, and shortly afterwards opened house in San Francisco in 1861 tho State sent MT. Harazthy to Europe to procure the best varieties of vines cultivated there, and the result of his expedition was the introduc- tion into the State of fourteen hundred species comprising of one hundred thousand vineg. This stimulated enterprise, and large numbers of persons planted vineyards and cultivated improved varieties of vines, 90 that the yield of the wine crop has increased from 34S,0O0 gal Ions in 1862, to an average annual product at the present times of 3SoO,00O gallons. 4 large tract of land has been recently purchased by e German company, who have already plant. ed three hundred thousand vines. Other pri. vate enterprises, sustained by ample capital and directed by skillful persons, promise good results.-lN. Y. Evening Post
