KIND WORD FOR MorHER.-Despise not thy
mother when she is old Age may wear, and
waste mothers beauty, strength, limbs, sense,
and estate but her relation as mother is as the
when it goes forth in its might, for it is al
ways in the meridian, and knoweth no evening
The person may be gray headed, but her moth
erly relation is ever in its flourish. 1t may be
Autumn, yea, Winter with woman, but with
the mother mother, it is always Spring. Alas,
how little do we appreciate mothers tender
ness while living How needless we are in all
her anxieties and kindness But when she is
dead and gone, when the cares and GOODNESS of
the world come whitening to our hearts, when
we experience how hard it is to find true sympa-
thy-how few will befriend US in misfortune
then it is we think of the mother we have lost.

WHITE WOMEN WORK FOR SEVEN CENTS PER
DAY.-At a meeting of the working women late
ly held in New York, Mrs. Ann s. Stephens read
the following
e coarse flannel army shirt, large size, made
by hand sewing. Collar, wristbands and gussets,
put on with double rows of stitching all round.
The seams all felled, three button-holes, buttons
and stays, requiring upwards of two thousand
stitches. The woman who made this garment
was sixty years of age, and too deaf to go to
the store for orders. She has worked on these
shirts since the war broke out, receiving seven
cents each-one Of them being good days
work for her. Younger women might make two
or perhaps three of them in twelve hours, fur
nishing their own thread. This old lady occu-
pied, with another woman. a damp, dark base
ment, where she strained her eyes in the day
time, and scwed by the light of her neighbor 5
light in the evening. At the end of the week
her net earnings after paying for needles and
thread, amounted to thirty-nine cents in cur
rency.'"

somebody has written the following about the
girls and set it aloat:
God bless the girls
Whose golden curls
Blend with our evening Dreams
They haunt lives
Like spirit wives
Or--as naiads haunt the streams
They sooth pains,
They fill our brains
With dreams of sunny hours;
God bless the girls
God bless their curs
God bless our human flowers.
The wives, we think, are quite as deserving OF
blessing as the girls-therefore the following
is submitted
God bless the wives
They fill our lives
With little bees and honey,
They life's Shocks
They darn socks,
Bu-don't they spend the money
When sick
They heal us quick;
That is if they do love us,
If not, we die,
And then they cry,
And raise tofnbstonc5 above
OF truthful girls
With golden curls
We may in fancy dream;
But wiyes-true wives
Throughout our lives
Are everything they seem

GRANT AND McCLELLAN.-The difference be-
tween great general and small one was prob
ably never more forcibly illustrated than in
incident of the first battle fought between Grant
and Lee At its conclusion, Grant found him
self in great danger of having his line of COM
munication cut off. What does he do fall back
and give up strong position to secure his safe
ty in case of disaster? Not bit of it, but
presses on to the achievement of the grand object
for which he had placed himself in danger. He
seems to have comprehended that his undertake
ing necessarily involved peril, and hence was
not TO be deferred by it from accomplishing what
he had gone to fight for. So, instead of backing
out and retreating as timd and inefficient gen
eral would have done under the circumstances,
he presses right on with his eye fixed upon what
was before him, and indifferent about what was
behind What another general of different cali
Der did under similar circumstances is shown in
the case of Mcclellan upon the peninsula. When
he had his line of communion ion-hs base of
operations, cut off, he appeared to be totally dis
concerted. He could think of nothing, and do
nothing, except to look out for another ''baSe.
So anxious he about his % base - that he
forgot all about Richmond, which he had gone
hundreds Of miles to capture. Richmond he did
not think was his base, and hence he turned
and struck for 1arrisons Landing. He did not
take Richmond-he did not defeat the enemy
but-he Z" changed his base" He lost thou
sands of good men and fought great battles, all
to secure his @ base One would almost sup
pose, from McClellan's operations that he had
gone all the way into the enemy's country to
look out for - base Richmond was a small
circumstance compared with - base" Rich
mond not taken, but q base " was at
tanned, and great victory claimed in con-
sequence and there are those who call him
great general and want to make him President
on account of it. Grant had very different
opinion about a - base He not fighting
for % base, >" and Lee found that he had n very
different sort Of an antagonist to deal with He
was not one OF the base kind of generals He
had gone into the fight to secure something else,
and so that he gets Richmond. he is perfectly
willing to let Lee have his - base. ST. Louis

The report of the Congressional Committee
appointed to inquire into the alleged shipment
of contraband goods from this port, and the
alleged misconduct in the management Of
the affairs of the New-York Custom-House,
will be found in full in this mornings paper.
That such shipments have been made, and
that goods indispensable to the Rebels have
thereby gone into Rebel hands, has long
been an open secret which everybody believed
but which it was nevertheless necessary to es-
tablish by proper authority. How it has been
done, and what sort of management prevailed
in that department of the Custom-House where
the utmost vigilance was required to render il
impossible, or at least dangerous, that such aid
and comfort should go to the enemy, the reader
will learn by perusal Of the report.

1sye two days later news from Europe.
English papers state that the Emperor Napo'

tary to the United States to report the progress Of
our war; He also reported to be about to renew over
lures In conjunction with England to stop the carnage
1t seems that in the last meeting Of the Lon
don Conference all the neutral Powers declared them
selves in favor Of separating Hosten, Lauenburg and
South Schleswig from the dominicns Of the King OF
Denmark, and erecting them into an Independent Ger
man State The representatives Of the German Powers
and those Of the neutral Powers were however dis
Ngreed as to the frontier line Of the two naionaties
The Danish representatives at the last sitting OF the
conference declared against q prolongaton Of the
Armstoe but consented to refer the matter to their
Government.
The Rebel sympathizers among the London
daes have found ont that Grants campaign has beer
q total failure. The London Tines thinks that he vii
mot be able to the Potomac with more than
remnant Of his army.

conduct of Admiral Pinzon In seziug the Chinch'

this act as one Of manifest robbery.

| lay % Ciooc w cdcn OtucI vi tno Ooiu hoiDo'
line that it is still q marvel how Gen. Grant
could have withdrawn his forces undiscovered,
and equally amarvel that Lee should have made
no effort whatever to interrupt tho movement.
A partial explanation of the latter is supplied
by the direction of Grants march, for, instead
of seeking to force perilous passage high up
on the Chickahominy. with almost the GER
tainty of obstinate opposition, and proba'
bly, of general engagement Gen. Grant
moved in two columns, crossing at Long
Bridge and at Jones Bridge, seven and twelve
miles below Bottom Bridge. At those points,
and on the roads which lead south to the James,
he was so far withdrawn from even the right
wing of Lees army, that he was scarcely ex-
posed to a flank movement, in the ordinary
sense of the term, and not at all, except by
protractod march that of itself imperled, if 1t
did not destroy, the chance of Lees success.
SO that whether we regard the conception or
the execution of this movement. we cannot but
regard both with admiration.
South Of the James River tho campaign as
sumes, of course, a totally new aspect. Even
were Gen. Grant to cross the main body OF
his army at Fort Powhatan, as Mr.. Stanton's
dispatch asserts, the immediate result of its
appearance would be The occupation Of the
Petersburg Railroad, to which Gen. Buffers
lines are now so near that there cOpld scarcely
be much opposition to o serious effort by
a great army to debouch from them
and sit down across the railway. 1t is equally
manifest that the line Of the Danville Railroad
must speedily be severed, whether by Sherldans
cavalry crossing the James far to the west and
reaching the Appomattox bridge in its circuit,
or by the extension of Gen. Grants lines of in
vestment on the south Of Richmond and what
with the work of Sheridan north of the James,
and of Hunter in the valley, there will then re-
main no avenue of supply to the Rebel capital,
or to the army which defends it.
If there be any apprehension Of movement
upon Washington, now left uncovered, it is
sufficient TO say that Lee has no means of taking
an army north of the Rappahannock Tho
Fredericksburg and Virginia Central Railroads
are destroyed. The country between the James
and the Rapidan is desert, and the Shenandoah
Valley not less thoroughly stripped by the
passage Of the armies. Lee could only advance
in force upon Washington by loading supplies
in wagons, and he has neither the wagons,
nor the horses nor the forage to feed the horses,
for such an enterprise. As matters stand We
regard any serious demonstration upon Wash
ington as utterly unpracticable. Lee has all
and more than all he can attend to in the
neighborhood Of Richmond.
