THE following is an extract from
private letter, lated Manila, De-
tember "a, 1868:
Nothing has been heard here
from the Alabama sincs the l1th
of November, when she burned
the, Contest, and I have no doubt
we will next hear of her on the
route between China an San Fran
cisco, where she will catch a good
many vessels. lsuppose l she will
60 over to California and try to
pick up a treasure ship. What a
shame it is that we have no decent
vessel to 60 out after this pirate
and take him. The. way we A
mericans get laughed at here is a
caution. The old Wyoming came
in last evening, 9th, having been
cruising aftor the Alabama, but
she steams five knots and the Ala
bama twelve knots. There Is no
chance Of their coming together,
unless they meet in port.

REpRovE NOT WITH ANGER.--Bc
ever gentle with the children God
has given to you; watch over them
constantly; reprove them earnestly,
but not in anger. In the torcible
language of scripture, "Be not Bit
ter against them" "Yes, they are
good boys,,' we once heard a kind
father say, II talk to them pretty
much, but | do not like to beat my
children-the wcrld will beat them
soon enough" 1t was a beautiful
thought, though not elegantly ex.
pressed. Yes, there is not one child
in the circle round the table, beat
thy and happy as they look now
on whose head, if long spared, the
storm will not beat. Adversely may
wither them, sickness fade, cold
world frown on them; but, amid all
let memory call them back to q
home where the law of kindness
reigned, where the mothers reproI
wing eye was moistened with atear,
and the father frowued "more III
sorrow than anger"

An ImpOrtant Order.

Col. Darr, Provost Marshal General, has
been notified by the Assistant Adjutaut
General, at Washington, that all enlist
meus to the credit of cities, towns, cOuu-
ties, kc., out of the State are to be stop
ped at once. he states that the men of
the First West Virginia Infantry, who have
already been credited to Baltimore, will
be permitted to be so credited, but all
sGch credits are TO be at once discontinued.
Perhaps this order is all well enough
We suppose it is. At all events it cou-
forms to the views and desires of many
of our own people who have seen with
jealous eye our volunteers assigning them.
selves to Baltimore aud other places without
, the State. Aud yet We can see no special
objection to their doing SO, and for the reas-
on that it enures to the benefit of the vol
uuteer who is really the only person to be
consulted, and whose interest must be of
right paramount to that of all other persons
in the transaction.
The policy of the War Department in
this matter has materially changed since
last January. Early in that month Col.
Darr was notified from Washington that
recruits could be credited to the localities
from which they received their local bonn
ties. provided the muster rells showed
them enlisted and mustered in as of the
said localities. The reason TOR the change
of policy is not given. We suppose that
it has been found to work uuequally and
inhsrmoniOusly between communities and
districts, pethaps-tO- be detrimental to the
esprit du corps SO beneficial to regiments
Whatever the reason may be, the fact now
is that no further credits outside of the
State can DO allowed.
