LETTER FROM THE SECRETA,
RYOF WAR.

WASHINGTON, April T.-The fol-
lowing letter accompanied the joint
resolution appropriating SIS -0Oo, 900
which was expeditiously passed in
the House to-day:
WAR DEeARTNEST, April 70.
SrR-The Governors OF Ohio, In
diana. Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin,
have tendered 70 the Presideht on
the 23d inst, large number OF vol
uuteers for their respective States
service during the present campaign.
They are expected TO number from
eighty to one hundred thousand men,
and the term Of service one hundred
days from the muster in.
1t is believed they can render us
great service. They are to be paid
no bounty and are not to diminish or
delay the draft for three years in the
States where the quota pending the
draft is not filed up. The quota is
filed in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and
Wisconsin and less than two thou
sand due from Ohio in excess
These troops are not provided for in
the estimates heretofore submitted
Therefore il is estimated that S25,
000, 900 will be the cost Of these one
hundred thousand extra volunteers,
and respectfully recommend a spec
ial appropriation for that purpose,
and submit a joint resolution to that
effect. N. 81
The impending operations render
It expedient that there should be
early action by Congress upon the
so that If sanctioned, all
provisions will be made in
due season.
i have the honor, to be very res
pectfully, your obedient servant.

HThe Veterans of the gallant
4th Va are collecting together again
for ancther'campaign. Where they are
to be ordered, is yet a mystery. 1t
seems to be the wish of majority of
the regiment, that they be sent up
KaEawha. 1t would certainly seem
right that these men should be allow
ed to fight in defence of their own
fresides. They have surely proven
their avalor by long and arduous
campaign in the South. the only
Virginia regiment in that Depart
ment. 1t is to be hoped that they
viii be allowed the privilege of aiding
in establishing freedom over the
whole of West Virginia, a country
with which they are perfectly famil-
lar, and of course from that knowl-
edge would prove of more service,
than troops from Northern States.
Thus far the regiment has been
very orderly, and civil, and from our
knowledge Of the officers, feel conf
dent they will SO continue thereby
greatly augmenting the favorable O.
y inion our citizens always held of
them. Success attend the brave 4th

SThc "National Guards" of old
Gallia nobly responded to the call
Of the Governor, and appeared in
town on Monday last in full uniform,
making quite soldier-like appear
ance. Indeed It was difficult to dis
tinguish many of them from the
veterans now in town. The:day was
exceedingly unpleasant, and calcu-
lated to chill the ardor of the boys,
but itseemed TO produce q different
effect That they will prove efficient
as guards, or in any capacity re-
quired, no one who knows the militia
of Gallia county will doubt.
The effect upon the farming inter-
est, produced by taking SO many
away from their farms, at the time
when most required to get in spring
crops may be very serious. 1t will
certainly be the means of greatly
lessening the breadth of Corn planted
unless laborers can be procured else
where. An emigration of a few hun
dred c0ntrabands just now would
prove decidedly. beneficial, even
though itshouid produce q few howls
from the South Carolinlans among us.
That mighty host Of blacks, that was
to cover the land of the Northern
States, like the locusts of Egypt, as
soon as the Emancipation Proclama-
ton was issued, has fai.ed to make
its appearance, and like many
other Copperhead predictions turned
out" bosh." ..-...-

WoMANs LIFE.-rhe lives Of women
are necessarily more broken up into details
than are the lives Of men. The existence
Of the housewife comprises = perpetual
adoption of skill to the exigencies Of the
moment. Accidents will happen in the
best of families" says the popular provsrb,
showing that household never can, ar
range it as you will, be mere routine
and when to the skill of the housewife is
added the culture of the reasonable being,
and the crowning duties Of the Christian,
the result is very complex. Tho life OF an
educated woman. though worked out in q
much smaller sphere, is generally more
complex than that Of man; just as the
education Of q girl is often more complex
than that Of Yale or Harvard. II is often
remarked that girl suffers more than q
boy by being brought up in an institution;
nature intends her to do battle with all
sorts Of small duties and difficulties, chaag-
es and chances; and she becomes stupid
and inanimate il they are al Withdrawn
This vari0usnsss makes it particularly dita
cult to write elaborate papers on the sub.
ject Of their lives.

Political PREACHING REBUKED-The
New York O5serusr in speaking Of recent
sermon BY the Rev. F. G. Ever, pastor of
an Episcopal church Of that city who had
been solicited by some Of his people to
preach on the political questions of the
day, says:
''lnstead Of complying with the request"
"he gave them sermon that ought to make
every intelligent christian among them
heartily ashamed of having been so ignor-
ant Of the province Of the pulpit and Of
the duty OF pastor, as to presume to dc
sire him to come down from the high call
ing of Gods minister, to tell them to vote
for Lincon, Fremont or Mcclellan. The
attempt was unworthy Of christian citi
zens, and it was very earnestly and ably
rebuhed."
The following is an extract from the SER
mon, which has been published:
II warn you! Go not about to drug the
church with the political wine that shall
intoxicate her and unfit her for her calm
and delicate work. As citizens we are all

A VERY GREAT RAscAL.-Two young
lawyers. Archy Brown and Thomas Jones,
were fond Of dropping into Mr.. Smiths
parlor and spending an hour or two with
his only daughter. Mary. Ono evening,
when Brown and Mary had discussed
almost every topic, Brown suddenly, in his
sweetest tones, struck out as follows:
"Do you think, Mary. you could leave
father and mother, this pleasant home,
with all its ease and comforts, and emigrate
to the Far West with young lawyer, who
had but little besides his profession TO de-
pend upon, and with him search ont new
home, which it should be your joint duty
to beautify. and make delightful and hap
py, like this?"
Dropping her head softly on his should.
er, she whispered: II think could.
Archy.'
"Well." said he, "there's Tom Jones.
who's going to smigrate, and wants to get
. wife; I'll mention it to him."

TENIER.-Ths great painter, perceiving
that the works Of painters sold much better
after the death of their authors, wisely
determined to anticipate the repersionary
profits of talent; and to effect this, thought
he could not adopt better expedient than
to cease to live to the public. In srder to
execute this singular strategem, he absent
ed himself from the town of Anvers, and
his wife and children counterfeited afflict-
ion by putting on black. The trick
succeeded, and in very short time all thu
pieces Of the pretended deceased were
bought up at very Lieh prices, which,
besides relieving his present wants,
enabled him to realize handsome sum in
the future

LII LUCK DEFIED.-A society has lately
been formed in Bordeaux, France, to put
down the superstition Of evil omens. As
every body knows, il is accounted bad luck
to hegin ANYTHING on Friday, or to sit At
a table with thirteen. or to balance
chair on one leg. or to spill salt between
yourself and friend. The new society
has regular dinners on Friday, have their
guests turn chairs on one leg, aud spill
salt around before commencing. In the
whole year during which bad luck has
been thus defed, no singular fatality has
a. yet occurred to any member.

The FIRST NIGHT FROM HOME.

Alone in the strangers dwelling,
gazed on the quiet sky;
The musical breezes was swelling
With odorous spoils on high.
The moon rose up in her beauty,
Sole queen of the night to reign;
And like courtiers on their duty,
Glittered the stars in her train.
For moment thought was turning
To the dear ones true and kind;
But quelled the hOmeward yearning,
And cast regrets behind.
The future that lay before me,
Seemed clothed with holy light;
And felt q change came DER me
As gazed on the sky that night.
felt that the boys wild dreaming
Was changed to the mans strong aim;
And bright Ger my spirit cleaning,
A ray from the future came.
The star hope OF my existence
Already gIaddened my soul;
And thro' the measureless distance,
saw the radient goal.
I felt the laurels twining
In their fadeless lustre bright;
And the stars % camly shining,
Seemed like crowns to mo that night.
The room seemed Lit with splendor
OF gems from the crown of Name;
And the wind grew soft and tender
When thought it breathed my name.
But thro' NY beautiful vision
A murmur seemed to glide;
"Oh. trust not to thine hearts ambition,
twill prove an erring guide.
Thou may'st deem il pure and earnest,
And its present form may be,
Like the fame for which thou yearnest,
Exceedingly fair to see.
"For the present II may nerve thee
With strong and steadfast will;
But it will not always serve thee,
Nor thy restless craving still.
1t ayaileth not in sorrow,
1t can neither help nor save;
From its wiles thou can'st not borrow
A spell to charm the grave.
go learn from the wise old cages,
Go learn from Gods own Book;
Alone to the Rock Of Ages,
We may thro' tie future look.
Go seek thee frlner standing
Than the sands of Fame can give;
Secure for thy final landing,
The Shore where the Angels live"

THE Presidents message was delivered

pretty good shape, but they were puzzled
BY . sentence stating that the public debt
falls short Of the estimate Of Fisher,
made last December" Authorities were
ransacked in vain to find out what rank as
q finsncier this Fisher might hold, and the
words were finally printed as received. By
comparison with the Boston papers, it was
found that ''of Fisher" was only the tele-
graphic way Of saying Officially"

Cur OUr.-It is many years since fell in
love with Jane Jerusha Skresgs, tn, handsom-
est country girl by far that ever went on legs
BY meadow, creek, and wood and dell, so often
we did walk, and the moonlight smiled on her
meeting lips. and the Eight.wnds learned our
talk Jane Jerusha was all 10 me, for my heart
was young and true, and loved with q double.
and-twisted love, aud love that was honest,
too. ! roamed all over the neighbor's farms,
and robbed the widowed bowers, and tore my
trousers and scratched my hands in search Of
choicest flowers. In my boyish love brought
all these to my Jerusha jane, but wouldn't be
so foolish now If ! were q boy again. A city
chap then came along, all dressed up in store
clothes, with shiny hat, shiny vest and
mustache under his nose. He talked to her OF
singing schools, (for her father owned farm,)
and she left me, the country love, and took the
new chaps arm. And all that night never
slept, nor could | eat the next day, for loved
that girl with fervent love that nau ght could
drive away. l strove to win her back to me,
but it was al! in vain--the city chap. with the
hairy lip, married Jerusha Jane. Aud my poor
heart was sick and sore, until the thought
struck me, that jsst as good fish remained as
ever was caught in the sea. So Invent to the
Methodist church one night, and saw a dark
