AN ERROR occurred in our estimate
of the value oflumber cut in Saginaw
Valley, published in last weeks state
ment, which might mislead people in
regard to the value or quantity of
that commodity, were it not for the
fact that the Typographical blunder,
us it is, is fully explained by the col
lateral figures. We copy the para
graph:
Value of Lumber Gut.
The average value Of lumber cut in 1863 was
$40 per NJ, which gives gross value on that
pro- luct Of 81 $4,000. The value Of lumber the
present season is estimated by competent lumber
inon at Sis per NJ ,'the amount manufactured will
lc moro than 80 per cent. greater than last year.
Say 100000 feet value, S3,000,000.
The estimate is 300, 900, 900 instead
OF 100000 feet, making a material
difference. The figures in the Adrr-
tser and Tribune were predicated upon
n basis of $50 per M, valuation on
lumber, which is unquestionably too
high. The error therein, which we
noticed last week was typographical,
as we had supposed.

HALIFAX, August 16.

HALIFAX, August 10.
The Asia, from Liverpool, the 9th,
and Queenstown the 7th inst, arrived
at this port this evening. The steam
er Niagara, after taking in coal and
provisions, left Liverpool the 9Th, des-
tination unknown. Rumors were that
the late rebel cruiser Georgia had been
seized by order of the government, as
she was about leaving Liverpool. 1t
turned out, however,, that she was simply
detained by her owner. 1t is alleged
that the Georgia is now the bona tide
property of Mr.. Bates by whom she
has been put in thorough repair, and
was about leaving Liverpool for lis
bon, under charter to the Portuguese,
to carry troops to the western coast of
Africa, and the mails between Lisbon
and tho Azroes. 1t was alleged that
the Niagara waited outside the Morsey
for the Georgia, but it was contra
dicted.
The Times city article says that ad-
vices from Frankfort says that under
sales on American account, the prices
of u. s. bonds gave way for some
until quotations were only 2 per cent
above N. Y, but such is the eager
ness of the German public to increase
their investments, that as soon as the
pressure of the exceptional operations
was removed, a recovery took place Of
moro than 3 per cent. The reason
for the renewed ftrore consists in the
word poaoo having boon nloutioned III
the last kilograms.
1t is added that the estimate Of
thirty millions sterling as total of those
securities absorbed in Germany and
Holland is certainly below the actual
amount.
The following is stated to be the
basis of peace between Denmark and
Prussia, and Austria and Lunnenn-
berg Schleswig and Holtsein to be
coded to the two great German Pow
ers, the island Of AFRO to remain with
Denmark, Alsen and the island North
Sea are to go with Schleswig. On ac-
count of Danish enclaves in Schleswig

take place.
LONDON, Aug. G.
The Morning Post to-day, has an
editorial denouncing the kidnapping
of British subjects for the federal SER
vice. 1t refers specially to the case of
Irishmen, who were subject, in Juno
last to gross indignities after their re-
lease was obtained, and says if these
facts are proved the British government
should be satisfied with no less than
the exemplary punishment of all con-
cerned in the outragcs. The Times
has an editorial on the same subject,
holding it up to Irishmen as warn
ing not only against the federal SER
vice but against emigration to America.

Jane. n. CLAY and his Slaves.

The late James Il. Clay, like most veal
thy slave-holdcrs, WIS very fond of boast
ing of the attachment and devotion OF his
bondmen to himself Not only were his
slaves we'll fed and well housed, hut they
were far happier thar free people, and
knew and appreciated the inestimable ad.
yantages Of their position. They did not
want freedom, and would not take il on
any terms. All they asked was to live OH
tho old plantation and to end their days
under the easy yeke cg" Massa Clay.
0nco upon iisae--some two or three
years ago--Mr. Clay had Quaker friend
from tho Nordi visiting him, and TO whom
he expressed his usual confidence in tho
attachment of his slaves; The Quaker
was incredulous, and so Clay vAuntingly
determined to put the matter to the test,
An old house. c.slave--one who enjoyed
his confidence, who had been always well
treated. aud who seemed to entertain a
real affection for his master--was called
and entered the room.
"Tom," said Mr.. Clay, there's gentle
man from the North who says you aad the
other boys are miserable here, and want to
be free. You may go away homo with him

The old negro was puzzled and almost

himself with joy aud gratitude at his ex-

This was not, however, what the slave
holdor wanted or expected. lie became
very angry, ordered the poor, crcdulous
slave away, and soon made hs visitor
aware that his room was better than his
company. or course Tom was never
freed, but it is probable that Mr., Clay was

AnIncident ON Picket.

An officer on the staff of Gen. Davis re-
lates an incident that Uccyrred on picket
recently, that has had many parallels in the
civil strife now raging. The other day the
l0Sth Ohio regiment was on picket near
Rossville, when rebel captain aud two
men entered. Tho Captain walked in and
surrendering himself to one Of the pickets,
recognized hun as his own son, resident
of Cincinnati, whose name is suppressed
for obvious reasons. Rushing forward the
Captain was in the act of casping him in
his arms, with the exclamation, 20 my son!'
when tho soldier rudely showed him from
him with the remark:
"Your son Get out, you internal Old reb-
el. Do you suppose | would have you for
father ?"
"But-I am your long lost father" per-
sisted the rebel
"My fathcr Well boys, that's 60,
laughed the soldier, Heres ID old
rebel says he's my father, when my father
has been dead these seven years"
The tears started from the old mans eyes,
and resting his head upon stump, he
wept like child, while the pickets looked
on in astonishment, Composing himself,
the rebel Captain called the soldier to him
and related incidents of family nature
that were unquestionabe evidences of his
assertions. The old man had been engaged
in business in Cincinnati, failed, and fed
South, leaving his family to shift for them
selves. For a while letters were frequent,
but at last they ceased altogether. A few
months later the family read the death of
it's absent loved one in u southern paper.
Time wore on, the wound caused by death
had been healed, the son enlisted in the
l09th, and on that day met his long mourn
ed parent nnder the above circumstances.
As the. old man recounted infinitely all that
he had passed through in the South, the
picket gradually softened, and lie too, found
relief in tears.

Sit at the window and look over the way

he has recently built and paid for and sigh
out. 90, that were a rich man.
Get angry with your neighbor, aud think
you havo not got friend in the world.
Shed tear or two take a walk in the
burial ground, continually saying to your-
SELF "When shall be buried here"
Sign note for your friend. and never
forget your kindness, and every hour in the
day whisper TO yourself. wonder if he
will pay the note p Think every body
means to cheatyOu. Closely doubt every
bid you take, and doubt its being genuine.
till you have put the owner tora deal of
trouble. Believe every dime passed to
you is but siXpensc crossed, and express
your doubts about getting rid of it if you
take it. f 1v
Never accommodate il you can help it.
Never visit the sick and afflicted, and
never give larthing to the poor.
Grind the faces and hearts Of tile poor
and unfortunate.
Brood over your mislortunes your lack
of talent, and believe that at no distant day
you will come to want. Let the poor
house ever be in your mind, with all the
horrors of poverty and distress.

Power of "a Word.

Wendell Phillips, in his lecture last win
ter, before the Parent Washingtonian So
ciety, told the following story:
a mother, on the green hills of Vermont
stood at her garden-gate, holding by her
right hand a son Of sixteen years old, mad
with love of sea. " Edward" said she,
=" they tell me that the great temptation Of
seamen's life is drink. Promise me, before
you quit your mothers hand that you will
never drink" Said he, for he told me the
story, " | gave her tho promise. | went
the broad globe over, Calcutta, the Medit-
terranian San Francisco, the Cape Of Good
Hope-and during forty years, whenever
saw glass filled with the sparkling liquor
my mothers form by the garden-gate, on
tho hillside of Vermont, rose up before
me; and to-day at sixty, my lips are ino-
cent of the taste of liquor"
Was not that sweet evidence Of the pow
cr of a single word Aud yet il was but
half; for" said he, yesterday there
came into my counting room young man
forty, and asked me, Do you know me 2"
No." said |. 81 was brought once, said he
to my informant, drunk, into your pres
ence, on ship.board; you were passenger;
the captain kicked me aside you took me
into your berth, kept me there until | had
slept off the intoxicatiou, aud then you
asked me if had mother. | said, never
that knew Of J never bad heard u moth
er's voice. You told me of yours at the
garden-gate and to-day. twenty years later
am master of one of the finest packets in
New York, and came to ask you 10 come
and see me-"
How far back that little candle throws
its beam 1.-The mothers word on the green
hillside of Vermont! God be thanked for
the almighty power of single word,
