HEAVEN knows how many simple let
ts,s, from sispls minded women, have
been kissed, cherished, aud Wept over by
men Of far loftier intellect. 50 it will
always be to the end Of all time Il a
lesson worth lsaTning BY those young
creatures Who seek to allure BY their ne-
compEshmsnts, or dazzle By their genius,
that, though he may admire, no man ever
IEOves a woman for those things BE
loves her for what is essentially distinct
from, though notineompatible With them,
her Eoman's nature and her HOman's
heart. This Is Why We often see man
Of high genius or intellectual power pass
BY the De Stasls and the Gorinnes to take
into his bosom sOms vayside flower, who
has nothing on earth to make her worthy
Of him, except that she is--Bhat 50 few
Of your female celebrities area true
woman. It is for this reason that intel
leetual men often do what, some would
be wise people, call very foolish thing
A genius never uiarries a blne-stocking--
he is too wise for that a blue ribbon
round the waist Of pretty, lOyeable girl,
has more attraction to the wise man than
all the gaudy pafaphernalia Of the most
brilliant belle that ever swan thro the
mszes of the ball room.

A EoBBER recently broke into house
at Debreezin, Hungary, there being only
the daughter, age II, Of the occupants at
home, except an old man, whom he kill
ed on entering. He demanded her faith
er's property, and told her she must die,
lest she should cause his arrest. Seeing
he was in earnest, she begged to be al
lowed to die by swift poison, to which
he consented. She took bottle from q
shelf, raised It to her lips, and then sud-
denly dashed the contents into his face
and eyes. He fell howling to the floor,
and next day died. The bottle contain

NATIONAL UNION NOMINATIONS.
FOR PRESIDENT, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, of Illinois.
 FOR vIcE-PREsIDENr, ANDREW JOHNSON, of Tennessee
To Our Patrons

From the first of September, the terms of the ENQUIRER will be $2 co per annum to those paying strictly in aduanes, to a!l others $2 50.
 These terms we shall rigidy adhere 10, and
 we believe they will be readily accseded to by our subscribers who understand the en- hanced price of printing paper. and who appreciate the general rise in every commedi. ty. If 8 farmer sells bushel of oats he would natually want his pay cash down on delivery. If he was asked to trust his cus- toner for six months or year. ..he would as naturally ask an advance on the cash price. It would be difficult to find farmer willing to sell single bushel of oats or potatoes to individuals scattered over the whole country on credit at any price. Pay down is the prin- ciple now-a-days, and it is the only principle that ought to prevail. Hence we shall very greatly prefer all subscriptions to be paid in advance at $2 %. If they are not 80 paid, we shall invariably charge $2 50.
 We hope this notice is sufficiently clear and explicit, and, as we have said, we shall adhere to it in all cases.

TRE REBEL AGENT HoLCoNBE ON PEACE The Grand Rapids (Mieh. Eagle publishes the following statement of the views expressed by Professor Holeombe of Virginia, since that parsonage figured with the notorious George Sanders at Niagara as negotiator for peace. This shows how utterly fraudulent was the Nj agara performance, on the part of the rebels
 Holeombe positively asserted that the South did not want peace, and would not listen to the falntest intimatien of peace, except on terms recognizing their absolute independence and sovereignty, with all the territory they origin ally claimed. He said the rebels could and would light twenty years longer before accep- thng any other or less terms then these. He averred the southern people were not fighting Tor slavery, and cared nothing about it /; that tdey would relinquish it in moment, if so do- ing would advance their cause that what they were lighting for was independence and sepa rate sovereignty, pure and simpley and this they would have, or else they must be exter- minated. Our friend questioned him closely and repeatedly if there was not some possible way to bring about peace; and he was always answered that there could be no peace upon
 
 that was altogether out of the question: Whatever might be said, or has been said fol political effect, the Southern States would nev CT again unite with the Northern States or any terms. The rebels had announced, in the begining, that the separation was final, aut they meant precisely what they said, and would either die or carry this point
 Mir. Heleombe was at great pains to ereat t'" impression that slavery was not the caus or object of the war, but only the convenien pretext for getting up 0 revolt; that the req cause and object wasrindependence and sep aratsnationality, or nothing else and that n' peace, or truce. or compromise was possibl that did not grant the rebels independence an c separate sovereignty and that whateve political management could do in the North t, embarrass the government was fostered an encouraged by the rebel leaders, because aided them more or less in obtaining their nlti mate objeet-separation and independence.

The official dispatch from Secretary Stan 1 ton, giving the brief but clear dispatches a
 Gen Grant up to Fridoy evening at 9 o'clock | invests the operations before Petersburg wit] great importance. Two more serious engage
 ments have been fought. On Thursday eve ming the rebels came out from their works or the north side of the James and attacked tIi,
 Tenth corps, under Gen. Birney, which was il
 fortified position. The attack was furious
 but was rspulsed with very severe loss to tn. enemy. Gen. Birney says that the less wns
 not less than one thousand, and adds that the
 colored troops behaved handsomely. In front
 of one of the colored regiments eighty.one
 dead rebels were found. On the morning of
 the 18th, Gen. Warren's Corps moved out of
 it's position to the left, and soon planted itself
 across the Weldon Railroad, about one mile
 south of their works. From that point he
 advanced towards Petersburgh. meeting the
 enemy as he moved forward. He had consid.
 erable fighting during the day, but the loss
 was light. On Friday evening. the rebels made an attack on Wsrren's right, with the evident intention of cutting off his-cannec. tion with the old line in front of Petersbureh.
 He drove Ill our pickets, and pressed back two of Warren's divisions, when a severe bat. tie ensued, in which the rebels were driven back asd our lines reestablished. This is the department from Gen. Grant, It is estimated that the rebel loss in the various engagements of last week amount to fully four thousand men.
 Monday intelligence from.the Army of the Potomac represents the situation as material ly unchanged since the successful attempt to gain possession of the Weldon Rail road The Fifth Army Corps still maintain their position on ike railroad, every effort of the enemy to dislodge them proving unsuc- eessful. Last Friday was very quiet in front of Petersburg, scarcely gun being fired du- ring the entire day. On the North side of the James River cur lines, up to the latest intel ligence received, continued unchanged not the repeated efforts of the ene my to oislodge our forces. The canal was favorably.
 There is no confirmation of the report that Gen. Sheridan had been defeated by Earlv.- It appears that he was compelled to change his position, in order the better to watch the passes of the mountains, of which he has a large number to defend At latest advices no engagement had taken place in the Valley ten Sheridan is obliged to move cautiously, but his programme of operations will be something morn than defensive
 New Orleans dates to the 16th bring the fol lowing items. The rebel cavalry are concen- rating at Jackson, Missippi Kirby Smith is 1t Alexandria. Dick Taylor is commanding Folks old corps at Atlanta.
 Gen. Buckner commands Taylor's rebels in Louisiana. The rebels are confscating all he property around Alexandria. Many veal hy planters are living on rations, their houses being destroyed. The conscription is rigidly carried out. Conseripts and refugees threaten o siege Dick Taylor's children as hostages for he security of their families.

This is J. R: Glmore's portrait of Jefferson Davis:
 Mfr. Benjamin occupied his pr evious seat at the table, ans at his right sat spare, thin featured mar with iron gray hair and beard, aud a clear gray eye full of life and vigor. He had a broad mas i've forehead, and mouth and chin denoting great energy and strength of will. His face was emacated and much wrnkled, but his features were good, especial ly his eyes-though one of them bore scar, apparently made by some shap instrument.- He wore suit of grayish-brown, evidently of foreign manufacture, and, as he rose. saw that he was about five feet ten inches high, with slight stoop In the shoulders. His man ners were simple, easy, andq uite fascinating; and he threw an indescribable chasml into his voice, as he extended his hand and said to us:
