Mr.. C. C. Fulton, the proprietor Of the
Baltimore American, and who for some
time past has been the Charleston harboT
correspondent Of that journal, has been
well known as one of the most earnest ad-
vocates of the monitor iron-clads. He
warmly seconded Engineer. Sinners efforts
to bring them into favor, and was exceed
ingly bitter upon Admiral Dupont for laok
Of faith in these novel inventions. He
has recently, however, seen a, new light,
as will be noticed by the following ex-
tracts from one of his recent Letters:
1t seems impossible to keep more than
one half Of the monitors here in fighting
condition. Since the taking Of Morris
Island every monitor has been TO Port Royal
for repairs, more than half have been
there twice since that time, and even now
we have only four here. One of these
will have to go down as soon as she can
be replaced by one of those now there re-
pairing. do not pretend to canvass the
causes Of these delays, or Of the frequency
with which the monitors have to seek the

many months Of exciting, hopeful. fear

time momsntuous and ovsrahadowing, are
neW but as dreams. We can scarcely
realize the immense progress we have
made, the great victories the cause Of hu
manity has achieved. What is past be-
longs . history. Future generations, with
different thoughts aud sympathies from our
own, viii pass judgment upon the men and
affairs Of this day. What to us seems gi.
gantic in outline, may to them be insignit'
can't What to them will stand out like
mountain peaks, to US possibly is dwarfed
and tFidiDg. However that may be, ouI
work is plain. Aud as the new yeal
daWns upon US, the people of this present
day should grid tight their armOr for what
ever conflicts with wrong they may pas
through Much noble, royal, heroic, God
like work is to be done. The disenthIsll
ment Of the nation from sll sin, until i
shall come out Of the roar and sacrifice o.
war with Immaculate Justice enthroneG
upon the peoples hearl; the restoration o.
our broken nationality, bringing peace OF
earth and good will to all men-is tht
sublime problem given to this people
Have they courage? Have they faith

which outruns all sordid ends and aims
Have they the moral courage to persever,

The Railroad Between Vera Cruz and the
City OF Mexico.

short time ago WI gave some particu.
lars of the Imperial Mexican Railway Com.
pany.' which had just been formed and issu.
ed its prospectus, for the construction Of
railroads in Mexico, the principal one being
that between Vera Cruz and the city Of
Mexico. We now learn that all the arrange.
nents have been completed for the construc.
ton Of this road, and that William Lloyd,
we'll known on this coast in connection with
the Valparaiso and Santiago Railroad. has
been appointed by the contractors, Messrs.
Smith, Knight & Co., to manage the work,
and had arrived at St. Thomas per steamer
Tasmania, en- route to Vera Cruz, v IT'D large
staff of assistants, with instruments, tools,
etc, to make beginning Immediately. The
building of this road is wonderful under.
taking Its length will be 3l5 miles, it will
attain a summit level Of $500 feet above
the sea, being the highest of any railway
yet made in the world, it will have an in-
cline % miles long. and rising in 26, or
2l2 feet per mile, and on which the curves
are 500 feet radius. There is one bridge
TO be built 290 fee, high, several tunnels, etc.

The Wood Supply of Washoe.

The Virginia City Union has the follow,
ing: Flrewood consists altogether of pine
and cedar, and is brought from Washoe Val.
ley, and the surrounding hills Nut pine
wood brings SIG per cord, delivered, and 81
less is charged for cedar. The teams bring
from two to seven cords at a load Incu-
ding q space Of less than twelve miles square
about Virginia, there are few If any places
in creation of like size where as much wood
is consumed. Many Of our mills consume
from six to tan cords per day, and the num-
berless engines used in hosting works, saw
and planning mills, aud other purposes, use a.
proportionate quantity. Most Of the wood
that is consumed in the mills of Gold Canon
comes from Palmyra district and El Dorado
Canon, where the mountain slopes are plen
titully covered with the nut pine, and from
that section hundreds Of cords are daily
taken. In fact a constant stream of teams
are on the road. 1t is the best wood in the
territory to burn, and for stove wood it is
hardly to be excelIed anywhere in the world
The trees are all small, low and scrubby,
yielding but little wood-ony about cord
and half or less to the tree; therefore, in
very few years we shall be short Of that kind
of fuel.
There is plenty Of wood, however, on the
Serras, and in few years railroad will he
bringing it to us in any quantity. One no.
ticeabls feature in the wood traffic i, what
we see every day on the streets, but TO a
stranger it has quite a novel and comicai
appearance, VIZ: Jackasses, with big loads Of
tirewood ON their backs, and driven by Chi
nanen. These domestic little animals (,he
donkeys) come in patiently from the bills
every day with their load, and supply princi>
paly the Chinese quarter of the city. A
couple of large iron hooks, on each side of
the pack saddle receive the wood, which is
piled high above the donkey's head and se>
cured with rope. These little animals car
ry from one to two hundred pounds each of
wood, and are found very useful in going
into places and along steep decivities mac
cessible to wagons.

REBEL VIEW OF THE END OF THE War;
The Richmond Dispatch thus tacetiousy
gives ITS ideas of when the end of the war
will arrive:
We are asked fifty times day, more or
less, when we think the war will end. As
we have no right to think, in the absence Of
data to think upon. we are sometimes al a
loss for an answer. However for the infor
nation of those who are not particularly in
ouisilive and anxious upon the subject, we
will relate dream that friend Of ours had
on the duration Of the war, which may throw
some light on the subject. He dreamed that
he awoke from a sleep of fifty years. and
found himself upon the south bank OF the
Rap,dan. He saw at little distance from
the spot where he awoke, a corporal with
seventeen men and wheelbarrow. lie ap
preached and asked the corporal what this
little gathering meant.
This" replied the Corporal, sis the army
of Northern Virginia"
"Where are the Yankees?" inquired our
friend.
"rhey are on the other side OF the river,
replied the Corporal. "They have the ad'
I vantage Of US in numbers and transportation
as they have twenty-one men and two wheel
barrows, but we expect to get the advantage
in position, will whip them, and the war will
end"

How A LAWYER DOES rr.-It is amusing
to see in what large proportions q lawyer
will magnify the most trivial thing. Tom

after this fashion: "And that, whereas the
said Thomas, at the said place, on the year

the said Richard, against the people Of the
State of California, and their dignity, did
make most violent assault, and inflicted

How Men who Marry Late In Life are
Polished by Their XlYea.

The little oddities of men who marry rather
late in life are pruned away speedily after
their marriage You have found man who
used to be shabby and carelessIy dressed, with
huge shrt-color frayed at the edge, and
gIarng yellow silk pocket handkerchief,
br' ken of these things, and become pattern
Of neatness. You have seen a man whose
hair and whiskers we're ridiculously cut,
speedily become like other human beings.
You have seen clergyman who wore
long beard, in little while appear without
one. You have seen a man who used 10
sing ridiculous sentimental songs leave them
Oft. You have seen a man who took snuff
copious|y, and who generally had bis breast
covered with snuff, abandon the vile habit.
A wife is the grand wielder of The moral
pruning knife. If Johnson's wife had lived.
there would have been no hording up Of
bits of orange peel; no touching all the posts
in walking along the streets; no eating and
drinking with disgusting vorscity. II
Oliver Goldsmith had been married he never
would have worn that memorable and ridicu-
lous coat. The wifs's advices are like the
ballast that keep the ship steady. .o

Law of Newspapers.

l. Subscribers who do not give express notice
TO the contrary, are considered wishing to con-
tinue the subscription.
2. If subscribers wish their papers discontinu-
ed. publishers may continue 10 send them until
oil charges are paid
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their
papers from the office or place to which they are
sent; they are held responsible until they settle
their bills and give due notice to discontinue
them.
4. If subscribers move to other places without
informing the publisher and the paper is sent TO
the former direction, they are held responsible.
Notice should always be given of removal.
s. The Courts have decided, that refusing to
take paper from the Office or removing and
leaving it uncalled for, is prima faeie evidence

Valuable tsSecrets.O

The unpleasant odor produced by perspi
ration is frequently the source Of vexation
to persons who are subject to it. Nothing
is simpler than to remove this odor much
more efectually than by the application Of
such costly unguents and perfumes as are in
use. 1t is only necessary to procure some
of the compound spirits Of ammonia, and
place about two table spoonfuls in basin of
water. Washing the face. hands and arms
with this leaves the skin as clean, sweet and
fresh, a. one cou'd wish. The wash is per.
fec,ly harmless, and very cheap. 1t is re-
commended on the authority of an expert
enced physician.

The Ma..achu.ett. white slave Trade.

The New York Courier des Etats Uni,
contains letter showing how Massachusetts
fills her quota. 1t fully corroborates the
statement published heretofore, and adds that
the ship Gueriand, which left Antwerp with
PSI passengers, anchored outside the harbor
of Boston. Three steamers with United
States soldiers on board joined the Guerland
there. The Bel gian and French passengers
on board were requested to sign a paper
written in English, which was nothing else
than an agreement to enlist. They were in.
formed that they would no longer be fed on
board their vessel, but that they would be
sent on board the steamers lying near, where
dinner was ready for them. They demanded
to be landed in Boston, but this was peremp
toriy refused. After some twenty. -four hours
resistance, compelled by hunger. and sur
rounded by soldiers, 22O passengers signed
the paper and were transported to the fort,
where they had to put on uniforms notwi,h
standing their unanimous protests. Three of
them who had signed persisted in their re
fusaI to march. They were roned and sent
to an island near by. Their names are Sin
crit, Frenchnau; Albrecht aud Verheyden,
B-Igians About thirty refused to sign, and
were landed at Boston at their own expense
when they left for New York.
