Washington from Philadelphia, at the close
OF his term OF office, is specimen:

fortunes of our country, is this day reduced

The Returaaa Of vaiIanaigham

, A key to the policy OF the President
TO be pursued toward Yallandigham has
been recently given in meeting between
the Kentucky delegation in CohgIess and
Mr.. Lincoln relative to the case of Colonel
Wolford. This officer. it will be remember
ed, was arrested by Gen. Burbridge and
sent to W ashington, where he has 'since re-
inaiued, reporting daily to the Wsr Depart
lneut In answer TO the ereauest that the
order ofGeneral Barbridge be resclndsd'
the President replied that he should not de-
part from the policy before pursued con
cerning Yallandighsm. Mr.. Mallory re-
rmarked thatths Yallsndigham order was
imperative, that individual having return
ed to Ohio. Mr.. Lincoln replied, in sub
stance. that he had mo official Knowledge Of
Vaiiandigham' return, and that when MIR.
Vallandi CHAM made his presence known by
bobj4ctionable acts the Executive would bs
prepared to act. The application in favol
of Col. Wolford was not granted. 2i'iA =

Re Your own Right Hand Man.

People who have been bolstered up
and levered all their lives, are seldom good
for anything in crisis. When misfortune
comes, they look around Tor somebody to
cling or lean upon. If the prop is not there,
down they 60. Once down they are as help
less as capsised turtles, or unhorsed men 10
armor, and cannot end their feet again
without assistance. Such silken fellows no
more resemble self-lmade men, who have
fought their way to position, making diff
dstefmina:ion from defeat, than zines re.
sembls oaks, or splutteripg ,rushlje the
stars of heaven Efforts persisted in to
achievements train a man to self-reliance,
and when he has proved to the World that
he CAT, TRUST himself the world will trust
him. Wesay, therefore, that Il is unwlse
to deprive young men of the advantages
which result from their energetic action. by
boosting" them over obstacles which they
ought 10 surmount alone. Ltea

have been similar TO that oil the Alabama.

The Kearsarge was not in the least de-
gree endangered by the missiles she receiv-
ed. We are in as good order as ever, and
ready for another. term OF service on the
high seas. Our object in coming into Cher

remained here to patch up our smoke pipe
The Alabama carried eight guns, and it
is also said that in addition she had two IL

referred to were: one 100 pound Blakcly
