Good Adyice.

The Catholic Telegraph of this week con
tains the following good advice to newly ar
rived emigrants
"The ernigrant, if he consults his own in
terests, will not stop in any OF the eastern
cities The West is the place for him.
There he will find his couutrymen and coun-
trywomen in thousands. In all the branch
es of industry he will find his kindred; all
over it schools for his children, and church
es; everywhere place to make comforta-
bic home. Where such advantages are of
fered Tie seeker of labor should hasten, ano
leave the landlords to their hunting, gras
sing and post-prandial rhetoric. He should
bear in mind that the America Of to-day
gives employment to millions OF his race
and that he can find hundreds OF his native
parish in every State.
This will lessen the first grief of home,
and be conducive to pleasant and social inter
course, if properly regulated. Perhaps he
may desire to enter the army. Ii so dispos-
ed, he will be aiding the best and most ben
iicent Government on earth-a Government
which was founded by the strong arms ano
hearts of Americans, Irishmen, Germans and
Frenchmen-a Government which seeks tc
preserve home for the unfortunate of other
fands-a Government DESTROYS of securing
unity, prosperity and happiness to all, nc
matter where born--a Government the pres
ervation of which is beyond anything this
side of the grave-a Government which
stands at the gate of the Republic, deter
mined to assist the needy and useful, anC
transmit to posterity the grand system o
laws which enables the poor to live decent
! Iy and comfortably

A river that runs east or west crosses no
parallel Of latitude; consequently, as it flows
towards the sea, it does not change its eli
mate, and, being in the same climate, the
crops that are grown at its mouth, are grown
also atits sources; and from one end to the
other Of it there is no variety of productions
it is all Of wheat and corn, or wine or oil,
or some other staple.
Assorted cargoes, therefore, cannot be made
up from the produce that such river brings
down to market. On the other hand, riv-
er that runs north or south, crosses parallels
of latitude, changes its climate at every
turn, and as the traveller descends it, he
sees new agricultural staples abounding.-
Such a river bears down to the sea a variety
of productions which one or another of the
nations is sure to want, and for which one
will send to the market at its mouth or the
port whence they are distributed over the
world. Its advantages are equally great for
trade between the different sections through
which it flows, as the staples of those sec
tions are unlike, and productions lacking in
one part of its course are supplied in another.
| The assortInents of merchandise afforded by
such a river are the life of commerce; they
give it energy, activity, and scope. Such a
river is the Mississippi, and the Mississippi
| is the only such river in the world Sci
| eatife american.

THE VETERAN 1st WISCONSIN CAyALRY.-- -
We learn from Capt. Shipman, that the men
who have re-enlisted as veterans in that gal

areputation and established character for
daring, bravery and pluck, which does honor
to the Badger State and has wreathed a

The following figures will aid spectators
in Presidential candidates to cast up accounts
In 1860 the white male population of the
States now represented in congress was %,
736, 926, not including West Virginia In
1856 the vote for President in these States
was, for Fremont, 1,342,164 Buchanan,
1,970,472: Fillmore, 564, SAT; total, 8, 276,
983. In 1860, for Lincoln, 1865, 452; Doug
las, 1,214,173 Breckenridge 413,260; Bell,
244, 912; total, 3,738,597. The elections
held in several States in 1863, indicate a
reduction of about 800, 900 from the vote Of
1860. The acts passed in these States en-
abling soldiers to vote, will make the reduc-
ton much less.

Dinner as am Educator.

You will find that great deal of charac-
ter is impaired and received at table. Pa
rents too often forget this; and therefore,
instead of swallowing your food in sullen
silence, instead of brooding over your bust
ness, instead Of talking severely about others,
let the conversation at the table be genial,
kind, social and cheering. Don't bring
disagreeable things to the table in your con
versation, any more than you would in yonr
dishes. For this reason, too, the more good
company you have at your table, the better
for your children. Every conversation
at your table is an educator of the family,
Hence the intelligence, and the refinement
and the appropriate behavior Of the family
which is given to hospitality. Never feel
that intelligent visitors can be anything bat
blessing to you and yours How few have
fully gotten hold of the fact that company
and conversation at the table are no small
part of education-Dr. Told TN

The following poem from the Church of Englan
Magazine, will come like ''song in the night" t
many stricken heart:
1.-THE loved AID lostr' why do we call them lost
Because miss them from our onward road 7
Gods unseen angel Ger our pathway crost,
Looked on them all and loving them the most,
otTaightway relieved them from life's weary load.
They are not lost; they are within the door
That shuts out loss, and every hurtful thing
With angels bright, and loved ones gone before,
In their Redeemsr's presence evermore,
Ard God himself their Lord and Judge and King.
And this we call "loss;" o, selfish sorrow
OF selfish hearts! o., of little faith !
Let US look round some argument to borrow
Why we in patience should await the morrow
That surely must succeed this night OF death.
Aye look upon this dreary desert path,
The thorns and thistes wheresoe'er we turn
What trials and what tears, what wrongs and wrath,
What struggles and what strife the journ ey hath
They have escaped from these, and 10 we mourn.
Ask the poor sailor when the wreck is done,
Who with his treasures stroSe the shore to reach,
While with the raging waves he struggled on
Vas it not joy, where every JOY seemed gone,
To see his loved ones landed on the beachF
A poor wayrarer, leading by the hand
A little child had halted by the well
To wash from off her fee the clinging sand,
Ard tell the tired boy of that blight land
Where, this long journey passed, they longed u
y any dwell
When 10 the Lord, who many mansions had,
Drew near and looked upon the suffering twain,
Then plying spoke, solve me the little lad
In strength renewed, and glorious beauty clad,
2pll bring him with me when come again"
Did she make answer selfishly and wrong
1''Nay, but the woes feel, he, too, mast share ~
Or rather, bursting into grateful song,
She went her way rejoicing, and made strong
To struggle on since he was freed from care.
We will do likewise death hath made no breach
In love and sympathy, in hope and trust;
NJ outward sign or sLund our ears can reach,
But there's inR ard, spiritual speech,
That grees still, though mortal tongues be du st
1t bids US do the work that they laid down
Take up the song where they broke off the strait
So journeying till we reach the heavenly town,
Where are laid up trsasurers and our crown,
:. And nmr lost loved will be found agAin.

entered grocery store and bought pound

coffee in said vessel, replaced the lid, and
was about to pay for it, when she discovered
she had forgotten to bring her money. Not
to have her honesty suspected, she said she
would leave her purchase till she went home
and got her money, and accordingly set her
crockery on the counter where it remained
until the grocer thought something must be
wrong, and on removing the lid he found
there was no bottom in the vessel, and OF

A Bumper to Mcclellan.

In recent lecture in Maine, Fowler, the
phrenologist, related the following phreho-
logical reminisrence OF Little Mac:
The father of George B. Mcclellan and
himself were "old cronies," as be expressed
it; be often came into his Office to listen to
his examinations; and when, once On a time,
the lad George was home from West Point
the father brought his two sons to have
their characters phrenologically discanted
upon. Says Mr.. Fowler: q remember ali
the circumstances as If If were but yesterday,
and l remember the train of reasoning that
then passed through my mind" "Never,"
with great emphasis, "never in my life, had
| found such an inordinate development of
tie organ Of scaution' as in the head OF
George B. Mcclellan. / also found the pro-
pelling facalties, combativeness and ae-
structiveness, small, and thought TO myself,
what is the sense and reason Of sending such
a natural coward to West Point.
But then reasoned tnet tnere would prob
ably never be any var to call for military
genius, and West Point might as well edu-
cate The cowards as any uiher institution. =
He said his life had only proved his early
convictions, and referring to the seven DAYS

Escape OF the Union Officers from
Richmond.

Some Of the Union officers. who lately
made their escape from Richmond, reached
Baltimore on Wednesday. They have an IN
teresting story TO tell. They were ifv-one
days in making the tunnel 10 the outside of
Libby. Having managed TO find access 10
the cellar they commenced WORK, relieving
one another as opportunity offered. Their
Instruments were case knives, pocket-knives.
cbiselS and flies. Twice they had 10 abandon
. their work and commence anew on account
Of obs,ructlors which they could not pass.
They hoped 10 avail themselves Of a culvert,
but found il impraciiceble. After getting
through the wall, they disposed OF the ex-
cavaed soil by drawing il out in a spi. toon
which they attached to cold. This would
/ be filled by the party at work in the tunnel,
and pulled out into the cellar by their COM
panions, who disposed Of it by spreading il
in shallow layers over the floor, concealing il
! beneath the straw. The work was necessarily
very slow. So close was the atmosphere in
the tunnel that they could remain in it but
few minutes al a time, and their candles
would 90 out.
{ AT one time they got so near bend of the
street that small hUle about the size Of
stove pipe broke through, but fortunately
this was not discovered by the guard, and
was OF great service admitting air, enabling
them to prosecute their work more rapidly.
The tannei, when completed, was abou: 60
feet long, and opened into an old tobacco
shed beyond the line of guards. As soon as
they found the way clear they emerged slow
ly, in small squads, OF two or three, anG
sauntered off until they got clear of the
guards, making their way towards the VIII
liamsburg road by the shortest route. The
darkness favored them, and the fact tha. all
the rebel soldiers whom they met were hab-
ited in the army coats of Uncle Sam, which
they had stolen from the supplies sent to our
prisoners by our government, was Of great
help TO them. They found the national uni
form better disguise than if they had been
provided with genuine rebel uniforms. In
order to elsde the pursuers who they knew
would suon be on their track, they scattered
as much as possible. Many were their hard
ships and suferings, and frequent we're their
narrow escapes from rebel cavalry, who the
next morning were usahacking in every di-

Our Finances.

Danyilie, v:

The great success Of the five-twenty loan
recently completed, has tendency to flatter
the public that the immense debt accumula-
ting is matter of the slightest Importance.
Mr.. Mccullough, the Controller of the Cur
rency at Washington, who seems to be man
of clear mind, warns the banks, however, not
70 be deceived by the present smiling con-
dtion of the commercial interests ofthe coun-
try-not to fall into tae error of regarding
initiation as prosperity. He says:
Bear constantly in mind, although the
loyal states appear specifically to be in a
prosperous condition, that such is not the
fact. That while the Government is engag-
ed in the suppression of rebellion of unex-
ampled ferceness and magnitude, and is con-
stantly draining the country of its laboring
and producing population, and diverting its
mechanical industry from work of perma-
nent value to the construction of implements
of warfare while cities are crowded, and the
country is to the same extent depleted, and
waste and extravaganza prevail as they never
before Prevailed in the United States, the
na'!on' whatever may be the external indica
tions is not prospering. The war in which
We are involved is stern necessity, anc
must be prosecuted for the preservation O
the Government, no matter what NAV be its
cost; but the country will unquestiouably b.
the poorer every day it is continued. Ths
seeming prosperity of the loyal states is OWNS
mainly to the large expenditures of the Gov
ernment and the redundant currency which
these expenditures seem to render necessary
Keep these facts constantly in mind, ant
manage the affairs of your respective bank
with perfect consciousness that the appar
ent prosperity of the country will be prove
to be unreal when the war is closed, if nc
before, and be prepared, by careful manag'
ment Of the trust committed to you, to bel
to save the nation from financial COLLAPSE
Instead offending your influence to make
more certain and more severe"
