Secretary when the odds were so greatly

nent of Admiral FarraS Sut There seems

guns with his own grape and canister,
and then compellslthe rebel Admiral to

did two naval exploits place a nation so
far in advance of the rest of the wor Id

sbaudoued and captured, seaiins up Me-
bile and leaving the rebels but two ports,
Charleston and Wilmington, and showing
the insecurity Of both those. But it is
on the land we wish to show the expiring
strength of the rebel cause. Let any one
look back six months, and In the South
west, at least, beyond all our most san
guine expectations at that time has the
rebel strength been broken We have
advanced and held one hundred and thif-
ty-eight miles into the strongest and most
fortified part of the enemy's territory, a.
way thus far from our own bases, have
kept open communications and not let go
our hold Of ground once taken. This we
could not have done year ago. 1t is
doubtful if the enemy can now muster
thirty thousand men and boys in front of
US at Atlanta, and they are becoming
weaker every day.
Nor has the army of the Potomac failed
of accomplishing all that could reasonably
be expected of it. When any living crea-
ture gets thoroughly frightened, the blood
leaves the extremeties and centres around
the heart. This is what makes towards
turn pale-and this is what has enabled
and inclined the rebels to concentrate
their strength, thus far, around Richmond
and Petersburg. 1t is the heart of the
Confederacy, where all their forces. con-
yerge-the last part to die. When it is
penetrated, all is over. And the muscles
around this, their vital organ, culver to
the last But everywhere else the pulse
beats feebler and more slowly. Compare
instance, the rebel incursions and their
effects this last year with those Of former
years, and We at once see the Increasing
feebleness of each attempt, and the read
iness with which they give way the mo-
ment we show ourselves in force. Thus
all their efforts die away, while we hold
on to all we get, and are every month
drawing the folds closer around, while
their expiring strength becomes feebler
for resistance, except, perhaps, just at the
heart itself, where vitality yet remains,
and alone perfectly remains.-Lcdgsr.

a Look at the Situation.

Those who look at the advance Of the
campaign made during the present seas
on SO far, may be divided into two classes
those who complain that we have done sc
little, and those who glory in what has
been accomplished aud overlook that tn
which remains to be accomplished. The
first complain that our efforts 50 Tar have
been a failure. We opened the cam
paign with the avowed intention of cap
turing Richmond and Atlanta, and we
have failed so far to do both, but have
had our own territory invaded by the reb-
els, Baltimore and Washington threaten
ed, our merchantmen destroyed within
sixty miles of Sandy Hook, and our cur
rcncy and bonds terribly reduced accord
ing to the gold standard, while the repeis
meek all onr efforts and declare their an
conquerable determination to have per.
fectly separate and independent form OF
oovernment But on the other hand,
whatever may be said as to our successes
on the land the rebels are left nowhere
in regard to every battle on the sea-
There have been but two contests this
season here, one between the AlabaIna
aud the Kearsage, and the other between
the wooden ships of Admiral Farragat,

Healthful Effects of the Tomato.

The tomato is one Of the most healthful,
as well as the most universally liked Of all
the vegetables. Its healthful qualities do
no: depend on the mode of preparation for
the table it may be eaten thrice day cold
or hot cooked or raw, alone, or without salt,
or pepper, or vinegar, OF altogether, to Ike
advantage. and in the utmost that can be
taken with an appetite. Its healthful quality
arises from It's slight aciduity, in this making
it as valuble, perhaps, as berries, cherries,
currants, and similar articles. 1t is also
highly nutritious The tomato season ends
with the frost. If the vines are pulled up
before the frost comes, and hung up IN a
we'll ventilated cellar, with the tomatoes
hanging TO them, the "love-apple'' will con-
tinue ripening until Christmas. The cellar
should not be too dry nor too warm. The
knowledge of this may be improved to great
practical advantage for the benefit Of many
who are invalids, and who are fond of the
tomato.

WOMAN'S RESOLUTION.

Ill tell you of a fellow,
Ola fellow | have seen,
Who is neither white nor yellow,
But is altogether green;
And his name it is not charming,
1t is only common Bill,
And he wishes me to wed him,
But | hardly think will.
Oh, he whispered Of devotion,
OF devotion pure and deep,
And it seemed so very silly,
That | almost fell asleep,
And he thinks it would be pleasant,
AS we journey down the hill,
To 90 hand in hand together,
But l hardly think we Will,
He told me of a cottage,
Ola cottage 'mong the trees.
And don't you think the fellow,
Tumbled down upon his knees,
While the tears the creature wasted,
Were enough to turn mill,
And he begged me to accept him;
But I hardly think will.
He was here last night TO see me,
But he made so long a stay,
/ began to think the blockhead,
Never meant to 60 away,
At first | learned TO hate him,
And now / hate him still,
Yet he urges me to wed him,
But hardly think | will.
I'm sure | would not choose him,
But the very deuce is in it,
For he says if | refuse him,
He could not live a minute:
Now you know the blessed Bible
Plainly says we must not Kill,
So I've thought the matter over.
And I rcther think I aciU.
