An Embarrassing Case.

When the war first broke out, a
young married man of Steubenville, Ohio,
volunteered. He was reported killed at
Perryville, and subsequently, his wife re-
ceived in metallic coffin, what purported
to be the body of her husband. She buried
it with all due ceremony and affection, and,
after more than a year had elapsed, she
married again. A few days since, an ex-
changed prisoner passed through Steuben-
vile and left message from the husband
supposed to be dead, that he would proba-
bly, be soon exchanged and would be home
again. Her present husband is a worthy
man. and the case becomes somewhat en-
barrassing. -

HENRY J. RAYMOND, editor Of the N
Y Times has compiled and edited work
entitled History Of the Administration Of
President Lincoln; including his speeches,
letters, addresses, proclamations, messages,
with preliminary sketch Of his life."
The N. Y. Tribune has slight review Of
the book and commends it. 1t finds in it
the following letter from the President to
Gen. Mcclellan, letter never before pub
lisbed.
The Tribune introduces the letter thus
''The following letter from the long-suf-
fering President to his iDcorrigible subordi-
nate we do not recollect to have seen in
print till we found it in this volume"
FORTRESS MONROE, May 9, 1862
My DEAR SIR. have just assisted the
Secretary of War in forming the part of
dispatch to you, relating to army corps,
which dispatch, of course, will have reach
ed you long before this will. wish to say
a few words to you privately on this subject.
l ordered the army corps organization not
only on the unanimous opinion Of the twelve
Generals of division, but also on the unan-
iraous opinion Of every military man could
get an opinion from, and every modern mil
itary book, yourself only excepted. Of
course, did not on my own judgment pre-
tend to understand the subject. now think
it indispensable for you to know how your
struggle against it is received in quarters
which we cannot entirely disregard. 1t is
looked upon as merely an effort to pamper
one or two pets, and to persecute and de-
grade their supposed rivals. have had no
word from Sumner. Heintzelman or Keyes.
The commanders of these corps are ofcourse
the three highest officers with you, but
am constantly told that you have no consul
tatien or communication with them, that
that yon consult and communicate with no
body but Fitz John Porter, and perhaps
General Frank lin. ! do not say these com
plants are just or true; but, at all events, it
is proper you should know OF their exist
ence. Do the commanders of your corps
disobey your orders in anthing?
When you relieved Gen. Hamilton of his
command the other day, you thereby lost
the confidence Of at least one OF your best
friends in the Senate. And here let me
say, not as applicable to you personally, that
Senators and Representatives speak Of me
in their places as they please without ques-
ton; and that officers ofthe army must cease
addressing insulting letters to them for ta-
king no greater liberty with them. But to
return, are you strong enough, even with
my help, to set your foot upon the neck of
Sumner, Heintzelman and Keyes, all at
once? This is practical and very serious
question for you. Yours truly,
A. LINCOLN.

Love and Marriage.

1t Is unwise to hope for domestic
happiness in the possessoi Of single trait
Of character; it is better to look for a COM
bination and they are to be most congratu-
lated who can discern aud WOO and win the
possessor of the largest amount Of good
points. First of all the man whom you
love, the woman whom you adore, should
possess high sense Of right and wrong;
next bodily health, and thirdly moral bra
very, a courage to be Industrious, econotn,
ical, self-depying. With these three traits
principle, health and soul that can do and
dare all that one ought to, domestic felicity
will abide. None ought to marry who can
not command the means to enable thom to
live in comfort according to their station in
life, without grinding economies. -.
1t is useless TO talk about love in a cot
tage. The little rascal will always run away
when there is no bread or butter on the ta-
bic. There is mere love 10 full hour-b
rel than in all the roses poses and woodbines
that ever grew. No mechanic should mar.
ay until he is master OF his trade; nor profess
sional man, until his income is adequate to
the style OF life which he determines upon;
nor the merchant, until his clear and annu-
al gains are equal to his domestic expendi-
lures, unless indeed, there are, in either
case, independent and unconditional sour
ces OF income. No man has a right to mar
ry, who has to work like horse from morn
ing till night to supply family necessaries,
whether it be by brain or body; for if the
body is thus made drudge of, it perpetu-
ates impaired power to the race; while il the
brain is over-wrought, its effects will be seen
in children Of feeble intellect, if indeed they
are not demented. To calculate therefore
on reasonable share of enjoyment the par
ties most interested, should aim to find in
each other, as may be of high moral prin-
ciple, Or bodily health, and either tho actual
maintenance or an individual ability to ss-
cure without per-adventure. Halls Jour
nal of Health.

a Coon CoMPARIsoN.-One of the
New York papers compares the publisher
of a newspaper who allows his papers to 60

from them, to a farmer who would sell his
wheat on credit, and not more than single
bushel to any person, IF any farmer will
try the experiment of thus distributing the
proceeds of his labor over two or three

A Parallel.

The Cleveland Herald recalls the fol-
lowing, ts show the effect the Fort Pillow
massacre is likely to have:
The Texan revolution presented a notable
instance Of the effect Of mo quarter. -
The defenders of Bexar fought till only six
of their number remained alive. These six,
one of whom was Col Crockett, surrendered
on promise of protection, but being taken
before Santa Anna, they were, by his order,
instantly cut to pieces. Their remains wsrs
burned in the center of the Alamo, by which
name the fort was called by the Mexicans.
This brutality aroused FIRE in the hearts OF
the Texans, which resulted in the battle Of
San Jacinto, in the defeat OF the Mexican
army. and the capture of Santa Anna him.

the Texans, with the bsttls-cry of f"Remem-

Mr.. 5. WILKINSON, in letter to the
N. Y. Tribune, thus graphically describes
scene atBelle Plain landing:
Early was the hour. Medical Inspector
General ,Cuyler was upon the deck Of q
propeller, as mutually commanding, os
eourtsously kind, as strikingly handsome as
ever, filling the hold Of the vessel with slight
" wounded, to be carried out to streamers OF
deep drsught lying at anchor waiting FOX
them.
''Show your wound my m,n !" said he
to red legged person who might have been
born in Austria. but certainly was never born
in America, and who crawled or the propsl-
lor's deck with the abjectness of coward,
and the OVERRIDING of a bad perform er. He
frightened UP in some terror but quickly
selected his left shoulder as the locality of
his disabling wounded. The surgeon ordered
to examine it reported that it did not exist.

"Go ashore! and return to YOUR giment"
said Inspector Cuyler, with severity
And so it is with another, and another !;
towards with the most trifing hurts, who
abandoned their comrades and abandoned
their. country in critical battle, and sought
the delights Of hospital or the adulation of
the corner groceries out Of which they were
enlisted.
1t was joy to me to hear on the deck Of
this propeller that the Government had
ordered double inspection of the moderately
wounded, and rejection hero and arrest
by the provost guard of all who are fit for
duty, and the sending of the others to tho
hospital nearest Camp Distribution, to bs

The strongly anti slavery members Of the
body could scarcely tell whsther they we're
in the flesh or out of it, while the whole
body seemed TO feel that the year Of Jubilee
had come. The Rev. Bishop was counpell-
cd to cease for q time his reading, which
pause was fully occupied by continued sp-
plause, ard shouts Of GLORY !" Halle
lujah !" Amen /" &c. r
The address was finally flushed, when j.
was proposed to sing TO "Old Hundred"
Praise God from whom all blessings aow,"
&c.
A motion was tnen made 10 print FIVE
thousand copies OF the address. On this
question an opportunity was taken by the
members Of the body for enjoying" 40

of the day." Great and rspturous jubila-
ton was expressed on account Of the change
in national affairs, WHICH in the providenes
Of God, has rendered this proposed action
Of the church possible. J
Stirring speeches were made BY the Rev.

Moody of Ohio, Rev. DR.. Kingsley of Erie,
Rev. Mr.. Drummond, and great many

Finally it was determined to print ten

REPUTATION IN LIFE.-The two most
precious things on this side Of the grave are
our reputation and our life. But It is to be
lamented that the most contemplate whis-

will, therefore, be more anxious to deserve
a fair name than to possess it; and this will
